PDL EIED I, PEA, nea PEGS 5 eras ea ee MONA-ARETHA ge Amidst the 12 million volumes, crowded shelves, and carpeted aisles of Bracken Library, a myriad of diversified lifestyles, emotions and personalities crossed daily. Among the thousands of elements, there were always marked individuals who stood out— individuals who dared to follow through on new ideas, individuals who crossed lines for the good of the group. Black Artist George Huggins created and molded not only works of art, but attitudes of a race. Jane Eckelman erased standing stereotypes, becoming the first female on our campus police force.

Yq Each individual passes through those | doors with a specific problem, a probing 4 question; each leaves a little bit changed, faced with either added frustration or con- tent conclusion. Faculty mixing with student body; administration mingling with personne! and advisors — Ball State is a crossroads of frustrating and satisfying, struggling and gliding, emotional and technical elements of student life. !

Something to identify with. ‘Keep some interests from your past constantly developing,’’ 20-year-oid Linda Surratt warned, “something to give life the continuity it needs when things are changing so drastically.” In my silent ‘‘Hellacious Acres,’’ | was torn between home and school, and instead of ‘finding the best of both worlds,’” my two entities — Dependent and In- dependent — collided, bashing into one another like bumper cars, except that | wasn’t laughing. | couldn't put the past, the present, or the future into perspective. | | disregarded the past with an air of indifference, and | shied away from the future — dreams have no | guarantee. I’m just too busy to think about the present. _ | can’t go back, and yet, | can’t go forward. “I'm financially dependent on my parents...| wish it were different because they don’t really have the money to spare,” a junior from Sullivan said. ‘| work doubly hard, though, to show | appreciate it.’’ Why had | been so cruel and evasive at home? Deep down | have pride in my family and they must know I’m grateful. Have my feelings really changed, or am | just being lazy? “One good thing about being in this transition state is that your parents will always be around. . .You can always go-home on weekends,”’ said Kate Lawson, a sophomore from New Haven. ‘But within yourself you have to reach that ‘happy medium’—you can’t hang on forever.” Slowly | began tying knots—no more bows. In my Declaration of Independence, | inserted a clause which included responsibility, risk, and even that taming, for- _ bidden word, “‘love. ’ | kept reminding myself of the _ philosophy ‘| AM THIRD,” and surprisingly, everything | fell into place. | | Students moving off-campus for the first time face a different type of pressure than those moving into the halls. Often there are not those upperclassmen around to give advice or to even help move in. Welcome to our world any beads of sweat dripped down the faces of exhausted fathers as they strug- gled up four flights of stairs. Little brothers and sisters jumped in and out of the way as doleful mothers handed out last minute “do’s and don’ts.”’ It was September 6 and the freshmen had arriv- ed, bringing with them a wealth of tearful parents, unnecessary dorm-fillers, and an eagerness unknown to any other group on campus. Movin’ In Day was hot, humid, and hilarious. The usual cries of ‘‘What’s goin’ on?” and ‘‘Where do | go?” resounded through crowded corridors. Reluctant hands settled on shiny doorknobs, gathering courage to take that initial step toward meeting a new roommate. Boxes, crates, stereos, and wall hang- ings provided a colorful picture on September 6, but it was the people that provided the humor. “Excuse me, but are you the mother of a freshman?” “Heavens, no! Can’t you tell? Over there—now, there’s a mother of-a frosh if | ever saw one. Her son brought the whole world.”’ Perched in front of a loaded white van, Mrs. Virginia Randles of South Bend was lost in a sea of cartons, bundles, and record albums. “Tom kind of took a lot of stuff,’’ she said shyly. ‘‘He took a corner of the base- ment, and for two months just kept piling up his stuff.”’ Interrupted by an impatient Thomas, Mrs. Randles returned to her unloading. Phil Fullhart played a special part of Movin’ In Day. As a campus officer, Fullhart was up at 6:45 a.m. directing traf- fic, answering the same questions over and over, and solving those first day traumas. “You can always tell a freshman from an upperclassman,”’ he laughed. ‘Uppers have decals.’’ Wiping the sweat off his brow he added, ‘’Boy, I’m sure it would be quite a mess if we weren't out here.”’ Monday evening arrived. After a full day of “Hello, my name is—,” the freshmen were ready for their first mass socializer, the hall mixer. “Hey,’’ Mark Scroggs of Swinford Hall grabbed the arm of an “experienced” sophomore, ‘‘are the girls around here all taken, or what—I mean, what’s the dating scene like for freshmen?” “Plenty of time to find out, Mark.” Later that week, the campus newcomers were treated to a special ac- tivities night and dance sponsored by the Student Center Governing Board. Ac- cording to Dayton freshman Mary Dale Walters, “It had the slight flavor of an open air bazaar.” Talkative representatives sat behind colorful display booths, pointing out the advantages resulting from group involve- ment throughout the school year. Some organizations, such as the Big Brothers of Delaware County and Community Chest promoted their activities through picture exhibits. Curious newcomers were greatly attracted to the Transcendental Medita- tion display. “We want to catch freshman now,”’ ex- plained Dave Wesson, public relations man for Transcendental Meditation, “‘to save them from unnecessary school pressures.” Despite the large variety of groups assembled in Cardinal Hall, some freshmen were unable to find anything of interest. “am very disappointed,”’ sighed Ohio resident Lisa Cannarozzi. ‘| came to find out about an Ecology Club, but it’s not here.”’ Ed Walker from Munster, Indiana, was let down by the absence of the Young Republicans booth. He soon amused himself by firing questions at Larry Thomas of the Young Democrats in an open debate of the major campaign issues. On the way out of the activities dance, featuring Nigel, Cort Overlay, freshman from Evansville, gave his friends his “freshman philosophy.”’ “The thing to being a freshman,’ Overlay pointed out confidently, “‘is that you just gotta be in the right place at the right time.” Then putting his hands in his pockets, the ‘freshman philosopher’’ grinned , wheeled around, and walked in the direction of a rowdy fraternity party. You're learning, Cort...you’re learn- ing... A It’s the freshman’s first night and for their welcom- ing entertainment, upperclassmen lead them in a series of get-acquainted activities. Botsford- Swinford residents hold the annual freshman mixer to initiate newcomers into the residence hall system. 19 Moving In ‘Ladies and gentlemen .. . “Summer orientation |s MUCHEMCreS Nahe Geiing your lovely |.D. portrait taken on a sweaty August afternoon...” Campus organizations often aid 20 Or ientation freshmen newcomers with the moving-in process. Several freshman coeds get to know each other at the an- nual Lambda Chi Freshman Tea. The Lambdas also held an Operation Suitcase project which helped the students actually move in the residence halls. Wait 10 minutes and the weather in Indiana will change. On a cold, wet, and windy Tuesday in March, summer seems to be the farthest thing from anyone’s mind. But summer and introducing Ball State to a whole new crop of incoming freshmen and transfer students, is to Lucy Hitzfield, Roger Spencer, and Randy Pickell, a very important consideration. Lucy and Roger serve as parent coor- dinators for the summer orientation pro- gram, while Randy serves as student coordinator under Rich Harris, director of orientation and handicap services. Summer orientation is much more than getting your lovely |.D. portrait taken ona sweaty August afternoon. A series of one and two day programs, for both parents and matriculates, runs from June 7 to September 2. Ball State’s summer orien- tation program has advantages over other colleges and universities believes Lucy. “Freshmen have the security of going home with a schedule in their hands,’’ she pointed out. And security is definitely needed by those who don’t know what a ““B-book’”’ is. “We usually ask parents to come along,’’ Roger said. ‘‘And this year’s new multi-media presentation will help them cope with the freshman who calls home on March 1 to say he is leaving for Fort Lauderdale in the morning.” So the program attempts to not only acquaint the parents with the policies and facilities of the university, but to help the new student cope with SAT, SCGB, CBX, PA, and the personal favorite of us all, UA. “We also try to get the commuter especially involved,’’ added Roger. ‘‘We want him to see what is available on this campus out of class.’’ Orientation not only benefits the stu- dent, but has its rewards for those coor- dinating it. ‘‘We’re learning so much about the university,’’ said Lucy, from behind a wooden desk. Roger continued, “For sure...before spring quarter is over, we should have had the opportunity to meet all the deans.” A refreshing aspect of Ball State’s pro- gram is the opportunity for all students to serve as Student Orientation Counselors (SOC leaders). These SOC leaders meet with about 15 freshmen during the sum- mer, introducing them to the academic and social aspects of the university. “Then in the fall, the new students won't feel alone,’’ said Lucy. “He will know one upperclassman and other new students.” The summer orientation program is concerned with those students who have already applied to the university, but the Admissions Coordinating Team (A.C.T.) helps high school students considering Ball State. Pam McClanahan, an A.C.T. member, spoke on the ‘woes of being a tour guide”’... “To begin with, a tour guide for the university is sometimes rather difficult,’’ Pam laughed. ‘’A difficulty arises when some of the parents ask such deep in- tellectural questions...” “Do the showers have shower cur- tains?” “Now you say the dorms are co- ed. . . does that include the bathrooms?” “You mean boys can be in my daughter's room?” “How much beer money should | give my son each week?”’ (My answer to this was, ‘how long do you want your son to be in school?’’) “Now babe, tell me what the pot scene on this groovy campus is like.”’ “Is it true that little Susie will only be a number here?”’ “Can we come to see our son whenever we want?” (That was a tough question.) Pam went on to tell about some of the questions the students themselves come up with. ‘These parents are so sincere in asking their questions that | try hard not to laugh,’ she explained. ‘’But actually, it isn’t all one-sided when it comes to the comedy. The high school students pop some really good questions, too, such aS. “| have to know, where are the men on this campus?”’ “Where's the coach?” “Do we really have to go to class?” “Where is the test file | have heard about?” “What is that health center really like?”’ “‘Now babe, tell me what the pot scene is really like on this groovy campus.” (I've heard that question before.) “‘Does someone come to inspect your room each week?” “Will my parents find out if I’m out after midnight?” “The thing that | always have to keep in mind is that | was once a high school stu- dent, too,’’ said Pam. “‘Honestly, hon, | must say being a tour guide has been a very rewarding job. It is unique and the rewards come in when you have the op- portunity to sell something that you really believe in.” eee, eS . ? ee ae oh an ree e o ee eee ee B44 ioe ‘ Administrative Director of Orientation Rich Harris meets with Parent Coordinators Roger Spencer and Lucy Hitzfield, and Orientation Director Randy Pickell concerning the selection of the Student Orientation Corps.

HALLS: by Amy McVay What a pretty picture the media paints for incoming students of the “‘residence hall’’ (a fancy term for dorm): cubicles with wrought iron beds and enamel shav- ing sinks; Joe College in a ducktail asking the friendly Mrs. Olson type what detergent to use. Virginia Slims said it best: you’ve come a long way, baby! The cubicles are still around; but most have rugs and radios and hotpots and hassocks and posters and popcorn poppers. Night hostesses were replaced with silver keys. And you probably can’t see Joe College’s eyes because his bangs are longer; but his Chlorox still contains bleach, borax, and brighteners. ‘Thirty-four residence halls provide at- tractive and comfortable facilities for a total of approximately 7000 students,” said the voice of the university, the Ball State Undergraduate Catalog. Are these surroundings as wonderful as they seem? What do students think of dorm living? “Non co-ed living certainly has _ its merits; but if you want to intermingle with girls they are only an elevator ride away and privacy is still ensured.’’ Kent Arnold, sophomore from Bluffton, and resident of Shales Hall, enjoys the privacy of an all- male hall. He likes dorm living because the meals are prepared and there are all kinds of recreational facilities not so easily accessible to those living off campus. ‘Shales has a keen athletic program; in ping pong, pool, and volleyball, they are the finest competitors in Lafollette.”’ Being a female, | tend to think that most guys don’t care if their Stir and Frost pan remains dirty and corroded for days. But Kent assured me that his carpeted room is very well kept and always dusted. “| can't stand to wear hip boots to wade through a room, ‘he added. So much for my image of Goodwill In- dustries, girls; this mangoes Holiday Inn all the way. “Why me:” cries the urchin with a bowl. of spaghetti dripping all over his head. This poster, along with a past January calendar and large stuffed dog, Wagoner residents are surely not expecting their parents over for a visit in the near future. As the weather got warmer, rooms were often left “as is” while students spent every free moment outside. Tnere’s no place like home’ makes the Crosley Hall room of Gwynn Owens, freshman from Madison, unique. Crosley is an all-female hall and Gwynn believes the whole atmosphere seems dif- ferent from co-ed. “| don't have the extent of privacy | have at home,’’ Gwynn said, ‘‘but | have enough so that it doesn’t bother me.” Gwynn loves to talk on the phone while out in the hall because of ‘‘the 20 or 30 people always in my room.” Purdue University lost George Davis, with goofy grin and perennial gray gym shorts, after only one year. George, a sophomore from Logansport, was placed in Hurlbut Hall as a transfer. “It's a really good way to meet some folks,” commented George. The sparkle in his eye will tell you that these ‘‘folks’’ are mostly residents of the fifth and seventh floors; the sharp observer will note they are female floors. As treasurer of Hurlbut, George holds precious among his memories the time director Ruthann Kurinsky stopped by to pick up a resume and caught him with a beer. He now holds six months to life. Mary Ann House is satisfied with the Dining Service. ‘‘There’s hardly ever a | can't find something | like.’’ Along with her roommate, this sophomore from Lafayette decorated her Knotts Hall room with orange crates, quilts, plants and posters, and built a “‘nifty little wall” with the stereo. Mary Ann enjoys dorm living and believes things to be even more effi- cient for her here than at home. ‘‘I’m real- ly not inconvenienced here.” “It makes me furious to see the destructive things other people in the hall have done in the name of fun,’’ Dave Wakeman, Burkhart freshman, stated in- dignantly. ‘| won’t regret the fun | had here, in later life.’’ That fun included play- ing Risk and Swat and making complete spaghetti dinners in a popcorn popper. | asked Dave if Wagonner really is a ZOO te “Since | moved to third floor from first, my attitudes have changed,” Dave said. Swinford resident George Flexmanmakes his room a little homier by setting up his fish tanks. Students didn’t settle for average dorm rooms—they spiced the rooms up with orange crates, plants, carpeting, homemade curtains, shelving, and furniture from home. “The guys up here are much more con- siderate and mature, and can take on the responsibility of living in close quarters with other people.”’ Senior Mindy Shaw believes living on campus is cheaper and much more con- venient than living off. ‘| enjoy meeting all kinds of people, and Baker Hall is close to the library and the rest of campus.” Mindy brought all kinds of knic-knacs from her home in Elkhart to make the room homey. “Mindy,” 1 said, ‘““what do you think about as you look back over four years in a dorm?” She thought for awhile. ‘‘Other than the fact that I've made many lifelong friends in the dorm, | remember an end of the year banquet my junior year in Schmidt Hall. We wore the remnants of our closets and drank pink champagne alias spiked lemonade in champagne glasses alias plastic cups.” Something is definitely missing in the flick, ‘‘Gidget Goes to College.’’ Is it the bowling or basketball tourney my upstairs neighbors have nightly? (| wondered why they were so offended when | called to say the Pacers practice at Market Square Arena). Is it the Ginger Rogers next door who practices modern jazz dancing relentlessly to ‘’Tijuana Taxi’’ during finals week? Is it the profound sign ‘Thelma Miller has been arrested for prostitution — help us raise her bail?”’ more... Halls HALLS continued Unique individuals within Shales Hall demonstrate decorative originality by exhibiting trademarks of favorite hobbies on the ceiling. Other residents covered ceilings with black light posters, aluminum foil, and fish nets. He is cute and lithe and tall and thin. Posters of Jacyln Smith, Mickey Mouse, Farrah Fawcett-Majors, and Valparaiso High School cover the cement blocks of his Jeep Hall room. Eddie Bertholet, freshman, never roomed with anyone at home, but likes living with a roommate now because there is now someone to talk to and relate with. ‘The floor tends to become almost like a family.”’ Eddie pondered the phone as he sat cross-legged on his Marsh shopping cart. ““Wagonner is really a zoo; however, in- dividually the guys are really nice. It is asa group that they are awfully rowdy.” Les Anne “‘Lester’’ Dant consumed her chicken noodle-o’s and waved her soup spoon at me. ‘‘Like they say, Co-ed Boredom is Better.’ As president of Hurlbut Hall, Les Anne is active in dorm government and a fourth year resident. She continued, ‘‘Hurlbut is a good cross section of BSU students.” Clad in a long blue bathrobe, Les Anne, a senior from Goodland, described how she made her dorm room into House Beautiful. ‘’| hauled in everything | own — from bamboo bird cage to flowered cur- tains to illegal hamster.”’ Youth of America — be happy but be warned. Annette Funicello is no longer with us. Ball State’s residence halls house freaks from Geshwin to Aereosmith to Manilow to Debussy. It is getting late... The William Tell over- ture has begun to die down, Larry Sells quits jogging the stairwells in three sweat- suits, and even the Domino’s man has disappeared. Someone opened the bathroom door and screamed, ‘Your mother chews on kitty litter’ to assure the profound reply, ‘’Lizzie Borden took an ax and so on and so forth” surely learned in English 205. Whre are the carefree bobby soxers and those in raccoon coats waving red and white MAC pennants? They are gone; but Gidget still has _ pride. Something to do, perhaps, with nine sup- posedly grown college men prancing in long red underwear in the Palmr fishbowl, singing ‘‘Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.” Goodnight, Muncie. Good- night, John-Boy. 24 Halls Sophomore Jim Walters (far left) leads the Botsford-Swinford residents in one of the earlier Spring Sing rehearsals. The group performed a medley of Paul McCartney songs, practicing late into the night because of a new open-lounge policy. Woody-Shales residents pass the time after classes with a volleyball game. Located in the grassy area outside the hall, the volleyball set-up was utilized as a source of entertainment by many residents. Halls ene LIVING ‘OFF’: Hassled independence What was it that compelled students to move off campus? True, sometimes dorm food lacked variety and study time was interrupted, but at least students didn't have to wrestle with landlord restrictions, dripping faucets, or end-of- the month bills. Surely town-dwellers could live without the frustration of hitching rides to classes or the headache of finding parking spaces. Freedom and independence were in- triguing forces which drew students off campus. In a homey atmosphere, these students had a free hand at cooking and decorating, lax visiting hours, and a place to call ‘their own.’ But with every new freedom there was an added responsibility: utilities, damage deposit, renter’s insurance, lease transportation, and groceries. Just how did students living off cam- A; | TE Rooms that were often furniture-bare could be filled up with hanging greenery.

What were their living conditions like? What were the ad- vantages and disadvantages? Greg Goff and his three roommates had an unique experience this fall when their lease expired and an oral contract was broken; they were without a place to sleep or eat for two weeks. The students were in the preliminary stage of moving, themselves, when the new residents park- ed their moving van in the drive. Greg said his landlady was sympathetic during the situation, encouraging them to find a place to stay—‘‘If it isn’t too much of an inconvenience, would you please leave?’’ Legally, their stay was over. All their belongings were stashed in boxes or crates and moved out in one afternoon. “We stayed with friends, slept in garages and vans, and ate at cheap junk- food joints, ” Greg commented. ‘‘We know what it feels like to go without ¥ a - Deborah Chambers finds that she cannot just ‘run off’ after dinner like her friends in the residence halls. Students moving off campus often failed to consider the newly-added responsibilities of their lifestyle—laundry, washing, and cooking. showers for three days.’’ He added that it was virtually impossible to study because he couldn't remember which box his books were in. Aside from all the discomfort and in- convenience, it was an experience that Greg and his friends will never forget nor one they wish to repeat. Micky Cunn- ingham, who was also involved in the shuttle said, ‘‘We’re awfully lucky in hav- ing so many good friends who were will- ing to put us up!” Town living was not always flavored with such excitement. Jan Snyder, 18, lived with her 65-year-old aunt. Her living conditions were rent-free provided she helped with meals, dishes, cleaning, and ironing. “| have my privacy,’’ Jan said, but add- ed that her aunt tried to restrict her. ‘‘She disapproves of my religion...and Sunday football.” If Jan watched the game, her aunt simply snapped off the television. “She doesn’t like football. It’s her house and television so really what could | say?’’ explained Jan. Landlords were often ‘'verbally blasted’’ by students and vice versa. Mary Jo Mauger felt her landlord was ‘‘ripping them off.’’ He neglected to fix the kitchen window which was without a pane all winter, the bathroom sink that was falling off the wall, and a leaky faucet. “He brainwashed us with deception and flowery words,’’ Mary Jo said. ‘‘We were so stupid when we signed the lease!’” Some points in Mary Jo’s written contract included: No more than one guest per resi- dent allowed in the house at one time. No honking horns Or ‘‘verromming”’ cars after 11 p.m. No hilarious par- ties. These stipulations seemed lenient when compared to demands by other landlords. Some imposed an 11 p.m. curfew, and insisted that tenants in- troduce all guests before entering the house. Not all landlords were so restrictive and many felt they had a good relationship with the students. The students respected the landlord’s property; he respected their freedom. These students felt that developing an understanding more.. 27 Off-campus ¥ Architecture student Jim Jelliffe, senior from In- dianapolis, doesn’t have to share a bathroom with other floor residents because of his town-living lifestyle. Seniors frequently moved off to be around other older students. Sy A nie LIVING “OFF csninu: with their landlord and outlining respon- sibilities in a written agreement eliminated many legal hassels and personal conflicts. “Getting along with the neighbors” was another adjustment for students moving into the community. Ken Cooper felt that it should apply in reverse. He complained that the three children across from his apartment were ‘‘terrible nuisances’ knocking on his door punctually when they got home from school and then ru n- ning away before he had a chance to answer. Ken confessed that the three had been “verbally threatened but, as of yet, not physically assaulted.”’ Neignbors and landlords played an ac- tive part in town living, but the individual Even with added facilities bills, laundry bills, shop- Ping sprees, and a lack of furniture, off-campus residents felt that “living off’’ had many more ad- vantages than disadvantages.

And where but in the kitchen was there a better place to judge creativity and compatibility? Mike Gilpin said there were no personal conflicts among he and his three room- mates except when dish duty or food were mentioned. “We buy our food separately but there are no qualms in ‘borrowing’ from each other,”” Mike laughed. “If Dan’s not there, Joe and | vote to take his food.”’ Mike said he liked cooking and the main reason he moved out of the residence hall was because he hated sack lunches. With his busy schedule and gymnastic prac- tices, Mike complained he always missed Settled in a cozy apartment, Mark Miller, junior from Goshen, has become extremely (and comfortably) adjusted to off-campus living. Advantages of privacy, space allotment, freedom in giving parties, and added independence attracted many hall residents to move off. dinner—peanut butter and jelly sand- wiches just did not suffice. The best part of the apartment according to Mike was the dishwasher, ‘Every apartment should have one!”’ More essential than a dishwasher though, was a car. Most off-campus students agreed that transportation without one was definitely a hassle. ‘| wasted a lot of time waiting around for a ride because no one’s schedule at the apartment was the same,”’ Mike said. “Now we've arranged them so everyone has classes in the same time block.”’ Mick Croy also complained, ‘The cost of driving back and forth when com- muting is unreal! Besides that, | had to schedule my classes around the weather and road conditions. In the winter | try to take classes in the afternoon when the roads are passable.”’ Parking was also a disadvantage for town dwellers. Even with the new parking structure behind the Student Center, the strict campus parking hours posed re- sounding problems—there were never any available parking spaces! Social interactions and study habits often changed as students left the residence halls. Many students who mov- ed off campus found their grades improv- ing and social contacts declining. “When | was living in the dorm, | almost flunked out,’’ commented Mary Jo Mauger. ‘When | moved off campus my grades immediately improved.” Mike Gilpin, who lived in a fraternity house agreed. ‘’My grades suffered the quarter | lived in the house; there were a lot of people stopping in all the time and | just got caught up with it.”’ Mike felt that it was a good experience to live with his brothers; ‘it was a medium of unity,’” but he also thought the fraterni- ty expected more of the people living in the house. ‘‘We were almost required to get along with everyone,” he said. Nant Chowdhurt, 23, Pakistan, com- pared living off campus to life in the residence hall. ‘‘Meeting people is a big disadvantage when living off campus; | feel | keep myself kind of aloof.’’ He said that hall housing and dining arrangements offered more of an opportunity to meet people and mix with friends. Jeff Younce, a native of Muncie, decid- ed to commute because of the financial savings. ‘‘The guys | hang around with are mostly friends from high school. Hot, homecooked meals were an incentive to commute too!”’ Whether students commuted or fended for themselves in apartments and houses, most agreed that town living had distinct advantages and disadvantages. But above all, it was a lifestyle in which responsibility, independence, and freedom flourished. Off-campus 29 @rosang the threshold doesn’t necessarily hamper the studies and social life of college students according to seniors Loriand Tom Sanborn. “Our lives really haven't changed much since we've been married,’’ Tom, a former fraternity house resident, said. Although he no longer lives in the fraterni- ty house, Tom is still an active member and pledge trainer of Sigma Chi. He usually spends two nights a week with the guys and attends chapter meetings Sun- day nights. “We haven't had to adjust to too much,” Lori, a former resident of 400 Apartments and presently a member of Chi Omega, said. When her husband at- tends his meetings on Sundays, Lori goes to hers as well. Their first adjustment, living together, began on August 8, 1976 in Scheidler Apartments. “Living with 50 guys at one time—and then | live with her (Lori),’’ Tom remark- ed, emphasizing the change of lifestyle. He went on to discuss the importance of consideration, explaining that household chores were shared. “It's more like 75-25 per cent,’ Lori said, referring to the household chore ratio. The Married Students Housing Office recently changed to Student Family Housing striving to serve students who have children but are not married. The 131 apartments included in Anthony Apartments, located extremely close to campus, now houses families as well as just couples. Being a married student and living in student hous- ing gives the residents more opportunities to prac- tice their culinary arts. Joellen Dennis is in the midst of cutting some delicious pastries as her husband Barry looks on. A typical day for Tom begins at 8 a.m., two days a week, for volleyball. In the ear- ly afternoon, he usually goes to the gym and jogs, or spends time in the library studying. Lori’s day starts prior to Tom’s first class; she and Tom eat a big breakfast each morning. Following morning classes, Lori spends her afternoons as an assistant in an elementary education biology lab for methods class. Around 5 p.m., the Sanborns eat a big dinner. “Lori's a good cook,”’ Tom, the son of a gourmet cook, said. Wit h the privacy of their Scheidler apartment, several of their friends have had dinner with Tom and Lori. ‘‘It’s a nice place to get together,” he noted. “We have lots of dinners,’’ Lori explain- ed. However, she added, ‘’We haven't adjusted to cooking for just two.” This difficulty is partly due to Tom's and Lori’s family backgrounds. Tom has three sisters and four brothers; Lori has seven sisters, six of whom are former Ball State students. Steak is not on the Sandborn’s weekly menu. Tom and Lori spend about 20 to 25 dollars a week on_ groceries and household necessities. “| budget my money,”’ Tom said, ‘‘and Lori shops really well with coupons.” Although they have to watch their money, Lori and Tom feel financially stable with their summer earnings, Lori’s lab job income, and a grant Tom receives. “We don’t go out as much as we used to,” Tom, an active member of intramural basketball and bowling, said. The San- borns enjoy sporting events and plays. Lori mentioned they watch television, play cards, and occasionally study. “Wednesday nights are spent watching the Bionic Woman and Charlie’s Angels,’ she explained, claiming it wasn’t always her idea to watch the two shows. “We are different than most couples, ’’ Tom explained. ‘Since we are both elementary education majors, we can study together.” “We think alike,” Lori added and Tom said that in one class, they both had the same quiz scores, same test score totals, and received the same grade on their two differently related term papers. Although the two study together, Tom feels they have different study habits. “She memorizes; | just study the basic concepts.”’ His wife feels that their grades have been better since they have been married, but, ‘if we would have married earlier, we would have flunked out.” Homework is not the only thing that piles up for students living in Scheidler Apartments. Having a family creates added responsibilities that must take top priority. Barb Lumas spends a night catching up on the family laundry. Living in their two bedrom apartment away from campus, the Sanborns have noticed advantages and disadvantages in marriage. “There's the freedom of not having hours—you eat when you want to.”” A former Klipple Hall resident, Lori feels there are many conveniences to apart- ment living. “You have twice as much as you had before,”’ Tom referred to the combinaton of personal belongings,”’ but you feel like you've lost contact with everyday going- ons,’’ he added. ‘It's more peaceful up here, though,”’ Lori suggested. “We were the first in our group to get married; | think everyone else is watching us as an example,”’ Tom said. Lori and Tom’s dance instructor watch- ed them closely, not knowing they were married. One day she commented on what a nice couple they made. “Lori kept her maiden name on the records and some professors haven't figured it out yet,’’ Tom laughed. In high school, Tom, halfback of the Angola football team, coached the girls’ homecoming powderpuff team on which Lori played quarterback. Today, the coach and the quarterback are mar- ried, and active students at Ball State University. They live in Scheidler Apart- ments, ride the campus bus to and from classes, and both plan to graduate this spring as elementary education majors. Lori looks forward to having children someday; Tom hopes to become an elementary school principal. Who ever said that Tom couldn't be Lori’s roommate??! — = er fy Added household responsibility for Joellen Dennis comes in the form of the upkeep of her plants.

Married Students | Homecoming Swinford residents Chris Updike and Dennis Mishler tack chicken wire to a frame which was soon to become ‘‘Mutiny on the Bounty.” Spirited crowds dwindled the night before the competition as temperatures dropped. Situated on the duck pond, Johnson Complex’s display took second place in lawn display competition. r] Tiwas the night before Homecoming and all through the campus. A stac- cattoed symphony of kazoos playing the Cardinal fight song rippled through the chilly Friday night at the homecoming bonfire. ‘Twas reminiscent of high school homecomings...of girls in turtlenecks and plaid pants, of frosty breath and beer, of music too loud, and of cliche-filled pep talks. There was the pep session with coach Dave McClain and members of the foot- ball team. There was the parade of 10 beauties across the stage. Kathy Klem, represen- ting Pi Beta Phi, got roses and a kiss from president John Pruis as the 1976 homecoming queen. There was the Pride of Mid-America Band boasting of the Cardinals’ virtues in song. There was a band, Nigel, entertaining for those who wished to ‘‘boogie-down.”’ A cinema The central figure of all of this, the bon- fire, cowered and sputtered behind the putting green and soon burned down like the season and the spirit in the late Oc- tober chill. ‘Twas Homecoming ‘76, ‘‘When Movies Were Movies,’’ and it all began on Wednesday, October 14... Laps around the basketball court of the men’s gym with occasional human hurdles to jump, roars of victory anticipa- tion, a pounding on bleachers with high school sectional-time chants, and ‘’We’ve got the spirit!’ sparked homecoming festivities with the kick-off games. President John Pruis punted the foot- ball which Dr. Oscar Green magnificently retrieved. The announcement of team pairings followed. With onlookers perched on the tops of folded bleachers, enthusiastic residence hall teams tumbled and scrambled for their places on the floor in T-shirts with such names as ‘Rowdy Nuns.’’ Modified jumping jacks and push- ups ended in tie passes, tire hobbles, and necking exercises (with the help of a ball). more...

Exuding superb control and command of voice, the singer was honored with standing ovations after each performance. Kappa Alpha Theta sisters ‘‘fire up’’ the Muncie community for the upcoming game by chanting sorority and Cardinal cheers while riding in the mor- ning parade. Several organizations and residence halls formed special cheerblocks for the game, striv- ing to win the Homecoming Spirit Stick. aE Homecoming Wednesday night, in the men’s gym, par- tial quiet was heard only once for the an- nouncement, “‘A car in the lot has its lights on.” Though cooled by the chilling air of Fri- day night, the enthusiasm flared up again. with the flames of the bonfire pep session and the crowning of queen Kathy Klem. In a swirling green formal, Jill Edwards attempted to sing ‘’All in Love Is Fair,”’ at the variety show later Friday evening. Due to technical difficulties, however, Jill’s song was heard by only a few sitting near the stage. Special highlights of the evening in- cluded Carrie Newcomer and John Dun- can with their original composition “Janey Baby,” and Randy Allen and Smudged doors framed the touching scene on that cool Saturday evening. Ex- cept for the silver-haired, gracefully pois- ed elderly lady, the alumni lounge was deserted. Unaware of anyone standing in the adjoining hall, she gazed at the aging portrait, lost in a world of dream memories. In quiet solitude, she wistfully relived scenes from her college years. Suddenly realizing that she was not alone, the lady hastened to open the door. Former Ball State coed greeted pre- sent Ball State coed, soon to bring alive the warm spirit of a true ‘‘Homecoming.”’ To Mrs. Marvin Dubbe of Oregon, “homecoming” involved more than beer- chugging parties and plastic floats. To her and 160 other graduates of the class of 1926, Homecoming ‘77 truly involved “coming home’’—whether it be to a familiar resting spot, secluded football field, or deserted alumni lounge. Mrs. Dubbe found it difficult to relate to the campus—“‘It has changed so much!” She said that when she attended school, there were only 700 students, many of whom commuted. ‘The school drew students from local areas,’ she explained. “It was not so well known; students went home a lot and there were no foreign students.” The former Ball Stater laughed about times “‘at the old Pine Shelf,”’ and recalled instances in which she had lost jobs because she was caught smoking. Having written a music book for elementary school students, and having started several school bands, Mrs. Dubbe con- sidered Ball State’s music program to be a fond memory. “We (the orchestra) had to practice at 7 a.m. every morning,’’ she remembered. “There was just no other time that everyone was free.” David Markle impersonating unique individuals — Patricia Neal, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, and Jimmy Carter. Perhaps the most entertaining feature of the show was the popular Master of Ceremonies, Dr. Tony Edmunds. As the lights came on in Emens, there was a rush for University Hall. Late ar- rivals found a tightly packed auditorium as “The Longest Yard’’ showed on the screen. Lying on the stage, in the aisles, and on the floor, spectators cheered for Burt Reynolds and the ‘‘Mean Machine” throughout the entire reel. more... Hosting Ball State’s alumni, a fifty-year celebration was planned by the Alumni House for returning graduates. Guests lined McKinely Avenue as they watched the morning parade fesitivites. The alumnus detects attitude changes in today’s student as compared to students 50 years ago. ‘‘When | was in school, there was a desirous force to get an education and get out as fast as we could,’’ she explained. ‘’Students of to- day take advantage of so many more ac- tivities and such. We were ready to teach and that was it—not build buildings and the like.”’ Mrs. Dubbe opened a suitcase and took out several old editions of the school newspaper. For several minutes, she reminisced on her music days at Ball State, vividly remembering recitals, con- certs, and social events. “Do you make it a habit to frequent fif- tieth anniversary alumni brunches?” A peppery little lady with twinkling eyes and a contagious smile grabbed the arm of a curious sophomore at the alumni brunch the following morning. Introducing herself as Mrs. Margaret Wiggs, the bubbly lady was excited to reminisce about the past. “When | was here, all the names of your halls were names of our professors and administrators,’ she pointed out. ‘Many times we lived on fly specs — cat- sup and crackers free.’ “Ne were really interested in education back then,’’ Mrs. Wiggs stated em- phatically. ‘It was the most fascinating four years! Since then, | think the stan- dards are being lowered; you can be in the lower nalf of your high school graduating class and still get into col- lege.” An avid Latin student, Mrs. Wiggs remembered that classes were much smaller. ““You knew the prof.’’ Being away from college for 50 years hasn’t taken Mrs. Wiggs away from education. Pulling out her calendar book, Mrs. Wiggs flipped to the pages of the upcoming week’s activities. Covered with sprawling blue ink, the dates were filled with appointments, luncheons, and lec- tures, leaving barely any white space at all. “Who says that life gets dull after one retires?’’ Mrs. Wiggs laughed. Sitting comfortably near the sun- strewn window, Mr. Darst was surround- ed by former classmates. ‘We used to take a walk every Sunday,”’ he was recall- ing. He started to compare the students of today with those of 50 years ago. “Today's students have gained a broader knowledge through television,” he pointed out. He feels that because of the wonders of a broadened curriculum which includes vocational training, “to- day's students really have something to get excit ed about.”’ Is it still ‘“‘home’’ to them? Amidst all the changes and expansions, do they still “feel something’’ when they walk through the campus? “As long as that building,’’ Mr. Darst pointed to the rustic Administration Building, “is here, it will always be ‘home’...”’ he said softly. As the sound of far-off drums and gala bugles announced the arrival of the parade, the group left the lounge, walking down to University Avenue. Excited chat- ter slowly hushed as the 1976 version of the “Pride of Mid-America’ Marching Band played the school song. A few tears trickled down Mrs. Dubbe’s face; Mr. Darst slowly tapped his foot; Milton Waymire worked his way to the front of the crowd. And you know what? Unlike present Ball State students, these former Ball Staters knew all the words... “Children don’t change,” Mr. Darst concluded, ‘’society changes. ..’’ Dogs howled, children cried, and a dreary eyes drowsily opened as sirens, bands, and cheers blasted out the arrival of the homecoming parade. Late parties and early morning lawn decorating made it hard for some to drag themselves out of bed for the Saturday morning event. But due to the noise, most everyone at least heard the parade. Later that afternoon, a cold wind and a 3-0 loss to the Akron Zips chilled a record crowd of 18,323 present at the Cardinal football feld. Hardly like a true homecom- ing game, the main attraction had been a cold, cruel, upset. Nancy Wilson warmed the campus with two performances Saturday night in Emens. The singer apologized for the football defeat, claiming it was a tradition wherever and whenever she performs for homecomings. ‘Twas the day after Homecoming and all through the campus weary partiers slept and recovered (except those par- ticipating in the twelfth annual Theta Xi Tug-O-War...but that’s a whole separa te COMING HOME Corfinuey story altogether!) 44 Backed by hana of supportive fans, pom- pom corps members await the Cardinals with a welcoming sign for them to crash through upon entering the field. er Maneuvering down University Avenue, the vic- torious float entry finds itself getting just rewards as onlookers applaud its creative design.

When | came to school last year it seemed everyone dressed in jeans and T-shirts.” And on opposite corners of the L.S. Ayres Ivy Room is freshman Don Mit- chell, from Anderson. ‘I’m so com- fortable in blue jeans,’” commented Don, while sitting in his dormitory room in Burkhart Hall. His closet door was slightly ajar and one dusty green basketball shoe was visible. An orange terrycloth robe hung unworn to the side, and above it was an empty Kinney’s shoe box with ar- chitecture supplies protruding. Don said, “T-shirts really express one’s opinion about a subject.’” And meanwhile a KISS poster stared vehemetly off the orange wall. ‘‘My Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman T-shirt is my prized possession,’” added Don. “It will soon become a collector's item, because Norman Lear took the show off the air.”’ poe 39 Fashion ms —ae Oe mee we we sa Ss i a eee.

Amidst black and white graphical we vosters decorating his office walls, and stacks of aging theatre books, Dr. George Irving discussed the unique aspects of studio theatre. “In larger schools, a student usually doesn’t get to act until he is a senior — and only then if he’s really good. But in our studio, if you have an idea, it is possi- ble to carry out. If there are people who want to do certain things, they can do it. We believe that theatre is an experience you jump up to your neck into and work.” Irving stressed the fact that auditions are open to every student, mentioning that many freshmen were involved. He mentioned many voluntary aspects such as the newly developed responsibility of house manager. “New people are attracted in different . ways,” the adviser pointed out. ‘Deaf education majors required to take Acting | often stay around; business majors ask to help with bookkeeping; students with ma- jors and minors in aclence turn to theatre as arelease.” Irving explained that once the student directors were chosen, they were assign- ed to a specific adviser. ‘‘We get them squared away early. They learn to be super-organized; they ‘can’t leave everything to the last minute. It's something they have to experience.” One of the studio's problems, ac- cording to Irving, involves ‘‘keeping it (the set) light and bright creatively without go- ing into a great amount of expense. The directors were therefore given a_ set budget to work with. “This forced the directors to use simple ideas,” Irving explained, ‘‘costumes that had already been used, plywood used in other plays. Ld The adviser listed several innovative ideas tried by the student directors — multi-media presentations, movies, im- provisations. Often the advisers detected problems that ironed out very smoothly in - the end “| saw several things that could have been problems with ‘That Championship Season’ directed by Jim Walker,” said Dr. Irving. ‘‘It was theatre-in-the-round; it involved a difficult casting for 38-60-year- old men; and it was raw in places. However, it came off very well — suc- cussful and strong.” We have a ready-made audience,”’ Ir- ving concluded. “We charge low admis- sion and the audiences have plenty of op- portunities to see shows. They vote with their hands.” Sitting casually in the well-known “green room’ (a room that is actually painted blue and serves as a reception Children and adults alike were delighted with the an- tics of “‘Peter Pan’’ cast members Dalana Gillium and Karen Whaley.

Most of the directors en- courage the actor to create on his own — a sign of a very good director.” Graduating from Northwestern Univer- sity, Bleiler went to school with such stars as Ann Margaret, Paula Prentis, Richard Benjamin, and Karen Black. Before com- ing to Ball State, he acted professionally in New York and Chicago but realized that “this hectic, insecure lifestyle didn’t fabricate for me,” and turned to teaching. Portraying lead roles in “Inherit the Wind” and ‘‘Volpone,”’ Bleiler also acted in “Kismet,” and ‘“Rosencratz and Guildenstern are Dead,” and read “A Man For All Seasons” during the faculty reading hour sponsored by Dr. Judy - Yordon. “Its hard to see which is most difficult between drama and comedy,’ Bleiler said. ‘‘There are just certain roles that ac- tors fall into naturally.’ His own greatest challenge involved the dramatic role of Mathew Brady in “Inherit the Wind.” “The actor can plummet depths in drama that he can’t in comedy,” he ex- plained. “There is a roundness in character the actor can create from. within.” According to the graduate assistant, one of the problems within Ball State's theatre involves the scheduling of several auditions at the same time. He explained that often the directors cannot get a large turnout because students are running from tryout to tryout. To the beginning actor, Bleiler gives three points of advice. ‘‘First of all,” he _City that person cess, or financial failure, feelings stirring aura of culture; they have p said, “‘he must develop the only tool he Cj. has as a creative artist — his body, in- | tellect, and imagination.

And finally, he must get on stage as often as his body permits Rising from his chair, glancing cna arin the green room, Bleiler concluded, “The student actor must settle for nothing short than the mosthe candemand...”. ...And with every closing night, — whether the show be a box office suc- deep within performer, director, and crew member are alike.

Chanting, hissing, screaming, they merged into one complex, conflicting personality, suddenly fading out... Fourteen separate personalities eventually fad- ed out in the final scenes of mainstage production “Sybil,’’ but the show’s terrifying impact is not ‘likely to fade in the minds of an engrossed au- dience. Intense in emotion and action, “Sybil” was a new experience for cast members and spec- tators alike; as Ball State's first chamber theatre production, it played upon the audience's im- agination, and presented unique challenges to cast members. “| decided on ‘Sybil’ because 1 thought it would bring in people (it was just performed on televi- sion), and | wanted those people to see chamber theatre,’’ said director Dr. Judy Yordon. A graduate of Northwestern University, Yordon studied with the professionals who brought chamber theatre to life. According to Yordon, chamber theatre differs from traditional play forms in that it stages only prose and utilizes a narrator. Since the action of the story is presented in past tense, the narrator is actually the only person that exists; she tells the story, bringing to life all the characters. Yordon complimented sophomore Deb Freeman on her in- terpretation of the narrator. “The narrator was the most difficult role because she determines how the audience will go away; she determines the attitude,’ Yordon ex- plained. “At times it is really hard to fill in the dialogue gaps with all the she said’s’ and ‘he said’s.’ ”’ “Deb really researched the role, however,’’ she continued. ‘She even wrote to author Flora Rheta Schreiber in order to understand the character better.” The performance drew in the audience - members from the very first scene, holding them on the edge of their seats until the final curtain. Omitting an intermission, the show grew in inten- sity as 14 different cast members portrayed the multiple personalities of Sybil Isabel Dorsett.

Cast member Bob O’Donnell, who has acted in several Ball State productions, would like to per- form in this type of production again. ‘’It was real- ly unique,’’ he said, ‘‘something | have never done before.” Todd Simms had a special role in “Sybil” as Yordon’s student director. Lining up rehearsal schedules, calling cast members who were late, and taking care of technical aspects, Todd “‘learn- ed how well a large cast could work together as a whole.” Adapting the well-known novel into a chamber to Yordon, who had done a mini-script of the book before. ‘I had to find all the prevailing metaphors that related toone central concept,’’ the director explained. ‘“The concept focused on Sybil’s illness and getting her well.

And then there it was again that booming, ‘‘] want to see some PEA!” Grabbing my coat, | tripped over chairs and around bodies to escape. | slammed the door to that foreign at- mosphere of sleeziness and shrieking just in time to see the dancers smirk at me, wink, and whisper, ‘If you see my mum- my, mum’s the word!” Welcome to ‘’Cabaret!’’ Sparkling Kit Kat Girls, Emcee Dave Ryan, and Klub Waiters dazzle the audience with opening number “Wilkommen.” The show sold out all four nights, and as a special effect, the audience actually sat in the cabaret. After that initial meeting my relation- ship with ‘‘Cabaret’’ matured. Or should | say, | matured? Anyway, as | talked with Jerry and the cast | began to understand “Cabaret’’—not just the story itself, but everything that went into the telling of it—the time, work, people, money, talent, hard luck—and decided that in- deed these people had a story of their own to tell! As Jerry Zehr was about to wrap up his junior year at Ball State in the spring of ‘76, his dream of directing a show became an obsession. He sent in his proposal to be reviewed by the theatre department for the play ‘Cabaret.’ With only nine student-directed plays per year, Jerry knew he “didn’t have it in the bag,’’ but began the initial steps of his proposal anyway. And by the last day of classes Jerry had his choreographer, music direc- tor, stage and lighting managers, and assistant director chosen and as en- thusiastic about making ‘‘Cabaret”’ a reali- ty as he himself was! Come fall his proposal was approved and, on November 9 and 10, auditions were held. Though there was some talk of the show being ‘‘precast,’’ the people in- volved with ‘’Cabaret’”’ agreed it definitely was not. One of the male talents, Tom Fausnaugh summed it up by saying, “Sure the judges, Jerry, Dave Peek the music director, Jan Lucas the choreographer, and Randy Allen the assistant director had an idea of who would be good before auditions, knowing the ability and the dependability of their fellow students. But they were always open to and looking for new or developed talent.’’ Approximately 70 people were at- tracted to the ‘Cabaret’ auditions—a really good turnout for a Ball State pro- duction. Jerry owes this to ‘Cabaret’ — “it's a really good script that you can doa lot with.” The auditions consisted of singing, reading, and dancing. One ‘‘I’d rather-remain-anonymous” girl laughed when trying to explain her attempt at tryouts: ‘’Yup, | could handle the readings all right, and the dancing for me was a more... Emcee Dave Ryan sings of the pleasures of being the only man living with ‘Two Ladies,”’ Jocelyn Heller and Barb Weinert. The lively-paced song and dance number comprised the entire eighth scene. SS er : ‘CABARET’ continued breeze. But man, when it came time for me to sing, | knew it was all over! Oh well, maybe | can help with the sets.” With the conclusion of auditions came the beginning of blood, sweat, and tears for the fifty-some people involved in the production of “Cabaret.”’ In welcoming the crew, director Jerry Zehr made the following comment, ‘Cabaret’ is a show that demands 100 per cent from its cast. It is a show that has the potential of being a powerful musical. The production staff has already spent many hours in prepara- tion; now we’re ready to move into the next phase; rehearsal. ‘I'm looking for a company that is pro- fessional in its attitudes and enthusiasm. The time spent on a musical is full of hard work and long hours. | have given you a sketch of a rehearsal schedule to give you an idea of the time involved. “If you are a person who doesn't like to have fun and want to w ork hard, then this show is not for you. But if you are en- thusiastic and have a professional attitude then step forward and give it your best. “| am very excited about this show because it is going to be one of the best shows of the year!”’ It's going to be one of the best shows this year. Rehearsal after rehearsal, dance after dance, song after song, scene after scene, day after day, and night after night the “Cabaret’’ people plugged away reaching for perfection. “It’s going to be one of the best shows this year...” Graduate student Patricia Walsh who A dramatic di fference in mood prevails as ‘Cabaret’ characters re-enact the opening number during the “Finale.’’ German uniforms and swatstika armbands are apparent as the scene shifts to various individual characters repeating lines from the parts of the play as if ina trance. portrayed Fraulein Schneider, attributed the professional attitude that was found throughout the life of ‘‘Cabaret’’ directly to the cast. ‘Jerry did the smart thing by choosing the experienced people that he did. The show will make it because the cast members have their reputations to keep up.” More importantly, the professionalism that stemmed from Jerry Zehr himself was the spark that ignited the profes- sionalism in the ‘’Cabaret’’ cast. Being a student and therefore a peer to the people he was to direct could have been seen as a disadvantage by many. At first, the God-send Emcee, Dave Ryan was a little hesitant about working with a student director. ‘| had known Jerry as a friend before the show and thought it may be hard working under a peer.” Lead Deb Shively who portrayed Sally Bowles also admitted, ‘It’s hard to go along with the director’s views about how you should act a scene when you've gone all through school and have been in classes with that same director!” ’ Jerry himself found it hard at times to keep the respect that is needed so desperately from any director. ‘‘But,’’ he said, ‘‘far more important is the fact that | could watch the people | knew grow into their parts. | liked for them all to do things differently and told them not to fall back on the same tricks that have worked before with audiences, but to try new things.” Jerry especially enjoyed watching members of the set crew build things for the first time. ‘“You see, they accomplish- ed new and different feats also. It was a learning experience for everyone _in- volved.” The initial hesitations were forgotten when, like Dave Ryan put it, “’l decided, well, Jerry is the director and I’m going to 2 | Cabaret follow his instructions.’’ And once rehear- sals were in full swing it was found that working with a student director like Jerry wasn’t so bad after all! Tom Fausnaugh found he could be more personal with the director, and that, “Jerry was more apt to listen.’’ Likewise, choreographer Jan Lucus felt it was “easy to talk to Jerry. We could work together until we got what we both wanted.” And Dave Ryan added that “Jerry never said ‘You have to do it this way.’ Only ‘Let’s try it like this.’ Jerry knew what he wanted, but was willing to listen to other points of view and willing to compromise. | enjoyed working with him and really learned a lot.”’ Wrapping it all up, Deb Shively felt that “Organization was Jerry’s key to success—his success with the cast as well as with ‘Cabaret’.”’ Jerry sees organization important in any production. “If you have organization you have the cast’s willingness to work because it feels it is constantly moving forward.” He owes it primarily to Organization that the cast was strong enough to handle all the hard luck that fell its way throughout the production. ‘“‘We were all prepared and looked at every mishap positively—and then just worked around it.”’ Yes, Cabaret was a success. From the cast’s satisfaction all the way down to my own satisfaction at maturing enough to understand it and accept the delightful- ly lewd movements and suggestiveness, “Cabaret’’ was indeed a success. After the dramatic conclusion of the play, the words, ‘‘Life is a cabaret, old chum; life is a cabaret,’’ remained with me. After | got lost in the crowded au- dience heading for the door, | smiled at the shocked looks about me when that -booming voice of Jerry Zehr was heard again, ‘‘Thanks for the PEA!!”’ | could smile now, for finally | knew what he had meant, what he had wanted and what he had finally gotten—PEA: professionalism, enthusiasm and attitude. And that spells success — ‘’Cabaret’’ suc- cess! @ e a = For weeks senior Jeff Franke rehearsed with the cast, mastering the complete character of the Emcee through complicated singing and dancing routines. Just a week before the show, however, Jeff developed infectious hepatitis and had to give up the part. What was a dream for student-director Jerry Zehr in the spring of ‘76 materialized into dramatic reality with the opening of ‘Cabaret’ on January 19. Faced with choosing a cast from 70 auditioning people, working with a $50 budget for sets, and replacing ill cast members at the last minute, Jerry relied on “organization” to carry the show. Adding personality Portraying the role of the Emcee, actor Dave Ryan sings and dances alone as well as with the Kit Kat Klub. Other cast members considered Dave a “lifesaver’’ for stepping into such a complicated role less than a week before the performance. After finding out less than a week before the show that he would have to fall into the steps of the Emcee part, Dave Ryan just ‘‘sat down and put my mind to it!” The Emcee part was a lead that did everything from solo dancing and singing to complicated routines with the Kit Kat girls. And as Dave took that part he knew he would have a big hole to fill from the original Emcee, Jeff Franke who became ill with hepatitis. The entire cast couldn't quite fathom anyone but Jeff as the Emcee. He had been perfect at the part, to say the least. But when Dave stepped out on stage with his ‘‘Wilkomen, beinvenue, welcome...” the cast was relieved to find that “‘though he had an entirely different interpretation of the part, Dave was great and made the show—what a lifesaver!’’ In the critique of ‘‘Cabaret,’’ Dave Ryan was said to have, ‘captured the true essence of the Emcee very well and was tremendously effective.” Tremendous—to say the least! Breaking a leg Seeing ‘’Cabaret’’ was believing it. It was a tremendous show with tremendous actors and actresses. Seeing behind the scenes of ‘’Cabaret’’ was not believing ite For not only did the members of the cast concentrate on their individual parts and costumes, they also built the set! After three- and four-hour rehearsals, when bed seemed the only logical place to be, they would remain behind to work together on making all aspects of their show a success. As far as talent goes — ‘‘They were the best at Ball State,’’ Jerry Zehr spoke up proudly. And indeed, unanimously, they agreed! Everyone in the cast saw the cast as a professional group of people whose positive attitude and real talent made the show as great as it was. On show night hesitant ‘’Break a leg’s”’ were heard filtering through makeup room doors and from behind props. This common good luck technique had to be used carefully with the ‘‘Cabaret’’ show. From the beginning the production had its fill of bad luck. One of the Kit Kat Klub dancers, Kelly McCoy had broken her leg and thus was out of the show...Michael Mazzuca as Ernst Ludwig had developed a blood clot in his leg...the assistant direc- tor, Randy Allen had fallen down steps and had to get facial stitches...and then, to top things off, Jeff Franke, the original Emcee, developed infectious hepatitis just a week before the show. Break a leg? Yes, that expression was used hestitantly that first show night, but from then on it became louder and more confident. And, if nothing else, the bad luck made for a tighter cast, one that “hoped for the best but was prepared for the worst!’ Jan Lucas is a junior at Ball State and is majoring in general speech. As choreographer of ‘’Cabaret,’’ she was ex- tremely pleased with the quality of dancers she had to work with. “They were the best dancers at Ball State. They were spirited and never hesitated to add their own personality to the dances. As a matter of fact, a couple of the dances were originals from the cast Whirling Kit Kat Girls Teri Elliot, Jocelyn Heller, and Barb Weinert add spirited liveliness to ‘‘Cabaret’’ with their complicated dancing routines. Choreographer Jan Lucas urged the dancers to “add their own personalities” to the dances. itself! ‘Two Ladies,’ for example, was the result of repeating the dance over and over different ways until they felt good doing it.”’ “We had to change some of the Kit Kat dances to kind of tone them down,” she smiled. ‘’| admit that | was the most hesi- tant one when it came to some of those movements!” The critique of ‘‘Cabaret’’ included a round of applause for Jan and the dancers. They were commended on their effectiveness and believability. “Yes, that Jan is on the ball,’’ Jerry Zehr commented. ‘‘I just let her go and she interpreted everything perfectly.” LES Cabaret parents be yoet 197 ¢ carefully as you 4 items in 48 ORAK INK; pO NOT US 7-78 : complete vials instruction circled It Read ain all ACK OR — PENC 1 STUDENT'S | NAME = ntet ae ie aS | sTUDEN yoo | PERMANENT uit MAILING ate t ADDRESS ns PA hed a S KC f d a ce addresses, 27 . ane wn lete names, bers , 108 ae nic YO : : Se Sranonce: Obtain code NUM e { mor cad inte BA a N e a er LS ( 5On® © Quan? nm bes tepfat ane Q Father, Ss 7 NAME aoc® yome ADDRESS P o8 c a TITLE ech ere occuPATION TT 3 cen © one yey a atin | ewnvoveo BY Peel, at Oe x K g PARENTS’ CURRENT (Check only é. en ARITAL STAT were gers gator, A s M 41 TOTAL NUMBE Oe anti? ott ns u filed imed or tot ia) 2a) ° a Ao) atid .aanc® 41 At a 40 Have 576 US claims 1976 ( co ul 4 AQ pds your | tax return?| On pet (Enter zerc 3c? pred . nanc’® income a return (f to file @ Fe FI sh ‘l requi turn.) ebY agen 3 YES 1976 re ee ot sw pric cninish gO 5 | : IN ae NO cia’ SI 202: enon wn all or part of abu nan : uo WORN VES? py ATS 7 18 oo YES, complete SUPPION 7 pune yyaccn eur’ s Ky y Oo see ic or P i ent (Pe Enter ve BcOUCT L a EFORE en Ms aria) ee ; wn TAXABLE INCOME 8 s, and othe!

Academic Year 1977-78 Inside this booklet, you will find: e Parents’ Confidential Statement (PCS) e Instructions for completing the | e CSS Code List, to be used by you in listing the post-high-school institutions and sc e A PCS work sheet oop) S S ig ONE What is the PCS? The purpose of the PCS is to collect information used in determin- ing a student’s need for financial aid. You submit the PCS to the College Scholarship Service (CSS), an activity of the College En- trance Examination Board, where it is analyzed. The information you report on the PCS is confidential and is sent only to the recipients you list. The CSS does not award financial aid; rather it evaluates the financial ability of a family to contribute to the costs of the stu- dent’s post-high-school education. The decision to award financial aid rests with the individual institutions and programs which directly inform students whether or not they are eligible for financial aid. Some of these may also request completion of a separate financial aid application. Who files the PCS? The PCS is to be filed by you, the parent or guardian of a student who is applying for financial aid for the academic year 1977-1978. If you are separated or divorced, the PCS should be completed by the parent (and present spouse, if any) who has custody of the student. If more than one student in your family is requesting financial aid, you should submit a separate PCS for each. Who must file a usiness or farm supplement? If you own all or part of a business, or if you are a farm or ranch owner, operator, or tenant, you must submit a special supplement with this PCS. Supplement A (for business owners) and Supple- ment B (for farmers or ranchers) may be obtained from secondary schools, colleges, other post-high-school institutions, scholarship programs, or from the CSS. Failure to submit a supplement, when appropriate, with your PCS will delay its processing. What procedures are followed to ensure accuracy? In the interest of equity and fairness, it is important that you provide accurate and complete information on the PCS. Failure to do so may jeopardize the student’s request for financial aid. In order to ensure that accurate data are reported on the PCS, an authorization form is included that the CSS may use to obtain an official copy of your 1976 U.S. individual income tax return from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Do not send any income tax returns with the PCS to the CSS. Your authorization and any tax returns obtained by using the authorization are confidential and are not sent to the institutions and programs you list to receive the PCS. Some institutions and programs may request that yeu send a copy of your income tax return to them. If so, send it directly to the requesting institution.

They had been summoned by the Office of Finan- cial Aids to learn the procedure for renew- ing their aids. Their only problem now was understanding the sea of forms and deadlines that accompanied the process. Assistant Director of Financial Aids, Mr. Wylie Williams, hurried around the room answering the questions of baffled Students and scribbling dates on the blackboard of TC 105. With the im- portance of deadlines and first-come, first-serve being stressed, everyone busily copied down the pertinent information. Each year the State and Federal governments provide billions of dollars in grants and loans to college students. In fiscal year 1976, 1,829 students attending Ball State received a total of $1,351,308 in Basic and Supplemental Educational Op- portunity Grants. National Direct loans amounted to $1,338,492 for a total of 1,677 people. All government loans and grants were awarded on the basis of need. By filling out a Parents Confidential Statement and Ball State University Financial Aids Form, the Office of Financial Aids determined if the student was eligible for aid, and if so, how much. Loans may have amounted up to $5,000 for four years and had to be repayed at 3 per cent interest starting nine months after the recipient left school. Grants were not repayed by the student. With pressures to attain a college degree, money was a major problem, in many Cases overriding the academic abili- ty needed for the venture. Students found economic relief through grants, loans, work, or scholarships. Bill Welch decided in the tenth grade that ‘‘my mom and dad were not going to pay for my first four years of college.” A graduate of Columbus, South High School, Columbus, Ohio, Bill played tackle for the junior-varsity Cardinals. At 64%” and 210 pounds (light for a tackle, he says), Bill was one of the 146 athletes at Ball State receiving sports grants. Tur- ning down offers of scholarships at other schools — and almost totally ignoring the Passing the buck existence of Ohio State University in his hometown — he decided to try Ball State for four years of pre-law study. In return for Bill’s gridiron talents, his expenses — tuition, room and board, athletic equipment, a medical-dental pro- gram, and $60 worth of books per quarter — were picked up by the school. A total of $286,853 was awarded annually to male Cardinal athletes whose aid was renewable each year, except in cases of misconduct or quitting the team. “It’s all very political,’ Bill said. “A local Harvard representative was always trying to get me to look at that school, but my coaches knew they needed a guy like me here. So here | am.” Athletic scholarships were not the only kinds awarded to talented freshmen. Academic and leadership abilities were also rewarded. “We are not the sane, sedate, scholarly types,” agreed Dan Brandon, Marybeth Helwig and Sharon Wigand, describing themselves and the 13 other Whitinger scholars who descended upon Johnson Complex this fall. The scholarship, awarded for the first time, honors former President of Ball State University Foundation, Ralph Whitinger. All the students receiving the $1,500 awards, which are renewable each year, were chosen because they were “intelligent, pe rsonable, and articulate.” The Whitinger scholars were only 16 of the 6,758 people at Ball State receiving some kind of scholarship or gift aid. In fiscal year 1976, a total of $3,528, 130 was handed out in scholarships and grants alone, an increase in both numbers of awards made and the dollars awarded in the previous year. Dan, Marybeth, and Sharon, like many of the recipients, were expected to do well academically to maintain their scholarships. “We don’t receive any special treat- ment from the University and people don’t think of us as brains because we are definitely not the quiet studious types. When we get together, we’re wild! 55 Cottege was once considered a place where the young could spend four relatively carefree years before being forced to confront the economic realities that lie outside the walls of the university. For better or for worse, this is no longer the case. Inflation has spared neither the university nor the student, and, as a result, the university is becoming a place | where students learn to cope with economic realities rather than hide from them. The economic realities of the university are rising costs: in tuition fees; texts and supplies; living expenses. To meet them, most students are cutting expenses where they can and, more often than not, finding jobs. At Ball State over one-third of the students (6,940) work at least part-time for the university alone. A like number work off-campus in the Muncie area and in places as far away as Indianapolis and South Bend. The scholar-student is being replaced by the working student. One such student is Gary Smoot, a junior in general business administration from Eaton, Indiana. Gary has been rais- ing livestock on his parents’ farm for over 12 years, and that livestock is paying for his education. It is, in a sense, detracting from it also. Because of his obligations on the farm and his limited income, Gary takes a light load academically (8-12 hours per quarter), but even with that he is not able to devote as much time to his studies as he says he would like. Out of necessity Gary is a worker first and a student second. He goes to school because “it might come in handy later,” he says, not because of any thirst for knowledge. “| don't take school as seriously as | should,” Gary concedes, but at the same time, he cannot really afford to. For the full-time student who has oth er sources of income, working does not have to inhibit education. In fact, it can often help, as in the case of Mike Hamlyn, a freshman from Indianapolis. When he took a job at Burger Chef in early January, Mike was concerned with the _ talk of raising tuition fees, but he had _ other motivations as well. “| was spending about 16 hours a week - in class about 20 hours studying,’”’ he _ said. ‘The rest of the time | was just screwing around. | figured working would _ keep me busy as well as put some change my pocket.” ring winter quarter Mike worked an FINANCES Working student a CENTS 3193 300 1400 2.30 GLASBY, VALERY Je sit oi vat 3 0 0.7. HOURS ww OF: Ww rgeuse average of 20 hours a week, and while he had to sacrifice a little sleep and a lot of free time, he says the results were well worth it. Not only was he able to spend some of his extra income on a vacation in the Bahamas during quarterbreak, but his grades actually improved. Most students who work 20 hours or less a week tend to agree that it does not detract too much from their studies. On the other hand, full-time students trying to work more hours are in for tough times. Greg Lake, a sophomore from Marion, is a good case in point. During his freshman year, Greg spent all but $700 of his savings gathered over the previous two or three years. ‘‘It was a bummer,” he says. “’! was spoiled by having too much money around.” To avoid another similar situation, this past summer — even though he made “‘quite a bit of money’’ — he set aside only enough to pay for his tuition and leave him with a modest living allowance. By February he was down to his last $100. “| forgot to take into account the little things that kept piling up,’’ he says. “Pretty soon | had to either go out and find a job or go without.” Greg took a job with Pizza King as a deliveryman, working anywhere from 30 to 40 hours a week. The job has made a mess of his lifestyle as well as his grades. He works from 5 p.m. to 2 a.m. and usually studies from the time he gets off work until his 8 a.m. class. When does he sleep? “Between classes a lot, and sometimes during them,” he says. It’s a situation that’s hardly ideal, and Greg says that he would gladly trade it in for another kind of existence. “I'd like to work just a few hours a week, but the way it is now is murder. | can’t even stay awake in class, let alone concentrate,’’ he says. As Greg’s case demonstrates, the pro- ACAOYR REGULAR O1 PERICU FROM UL 27 77 TO 02 09 77 WITHHOLDING TAX | N — AMOUNT | SOMBER B.f- HQURS RATE a EXEMPTIONS —— AMOUNT AMOUNT “ ene Bee, ” Signature blem most working students face is that of finding the right balance between work and school. A working student sacrifices much of his free time and sometimes some sleep, but after that, something— either work or studies—has to give. Those, like Gary Smoot, who are workers first and students second, will drop a class before altering their work schedule. Mike Hamlyn would, as he says, ‘‘quit for awhile” and concentrate on his studies before he would let his grades suffer. Often, however, the number of hours a student works is determined by necessity rather than choice. Faced with a financial crisis in mid-quarter, many fulltime students become part-time students. Others, like Greg Lake, merely stick it out and hope to do better the next time around. They do so, however, at the ex- pense of not only their grades but their health. Foleo] TOTAL EARNINGS ——— STATE U.C.- | TOTAL DEDUCTIONS No Or pee evr i Senior accounting major Kathy Heldenbrand works her way through school by stacking shelves at the Ball State Book Store. Kathy and other employees are especially busy at the start of a quarter when long lines wrap around the aisles. Part time student, part time employee, sophomore David Hicks is a manager at Barnaby’s Garage located in the Village. Opening this summer, the garage offered employment opportunities for students working their way through school. ‘ 44 ‘v Keeping up” seems to be a popular expression among students to- day. Not only must the “average” student keep up with mind-boggling class loads . outside activities, and the latest fashions, but with the spiraling cost of a degree itself. For some, “keeping up’’ with the in- creasing cost of books, tuition, room and board, and various miscellaneous pur- chases, involves holding down an outside job, applying for a scholarship, or working during the summer months. For others, the bill is simply footed by Mom and Dad. “I'm glad | don’t have the responsibility to save money to go to college,” said In- dianapolis freshman Jane Fehsenfeld. “‘I probably wouldn’t have gone to college right away if | would have had to work for it. | wouldn't have a lot of things like my car if | had to pay for them and my educa- tion too.” Jane’s education is being paid for through a trust fund set aside for her by her grandfather. Although she feels that this takes much pressure off her as a stu- dent, she admits that if she had to work she would value her education more. “I'm glad | don’t have to worry about where the next payment is coming from,” said Jane. “It leaves me more time to worry about my studies.

I’ve heard of the winter blues, but this is ridiculous!’ — a familiar comment throughout January and February. Because of the subzero temperatures and accumulated snow, students were it- ching with cabin fever; it was an epidemic. Depression and apathy were the first symptoms, followed by crab- biness, or for a few in an effort to remain sane, whimsical humor, and sarcasm. Temperatures reaching 15 degrees below zero, with a wind chill factor of minus 60, caused roads to become im- passable.

Even Ball State cancelled classes. When this was announced, most students whooped and cheered. Books were slammed shut and lounges flooded with card players, television viewers, pool sharks, and ping-pong champions. Pop- corn poppers popped while pizzas and Pepsis were delivered. The free time, for the most part, was fun and relaxing with catching up and stu- dying on the side. Residence halls threw impromptu disco dances and showed movies for residents in an effort to com- bat the dormant sluggishness creeping through the air. Time and energy seemed stagnant and frozen, just ticking and passing, going nowhere. more... other Nature's. 60 i eee Weather | a ee v Piled snow drifts put a clamp on nearly every cam- % pus activity and mode of transportation throughout - . a the first week of February.

A fewof the ladies who worked in the cafeterias camped in lounges and halls to insure that meals would be served the next day. When classes were cancelled again a few days later, many students moaned — it only meant double homework and pressure later. It meant another weekend in Muncie. The weather pulled many commuters days behind in their studies, and forced some instructors to leave phantom assignments on the boards because they were unable to travel on the roads. Even the U.S. mail was stopped. A sign, SORRY NO PICKUPS OR DELIVERIES TODAY, hung sullenly over the mail boxes. To some coeds this was comforting — there was a reason why their box was empty. For others, it was anguish For six weeks the weather continued without the mercury reaching above zero. It was cold, ungodly cold. The air was so dry and brittle that it hurt to walk in. But after watching the 11 p.m. national news, seeing people around the nation suffering more than us, seeing firemen with icicles hanging from their jackets try- ing to fight flames with broken pipes and frozen water, many of us swore we'd never complain. It was scarey because it was a condi- tion that we had no control over. Sudden- ly the conflict that we had studied in Kris Humphrey and Kelly Moyer ‘‘brave the storms’ of early October between classes. Getting through all the umbrellas meshed together at the scramble light was a trial in itself. Loyai fans compromise with homemade weather shelters during a Cardinal home game in early November. The vision of a Mid-American Con- ference (MAC) crown was stronger than even the uncomfortable conditions caused by the dreaded “Muncie Monsoons.”’ Hee Weather . Mother Na éire’s r English classes became a reality—man was truly opposing nature. We were forced to work together, to draw warmth from each other, to do our part, even if it was simply flicking off an extra light. True, the snow and cold were terrible nuisances, great inconveniences, but they forced us to slow our pace, to reflect, to realize that we are human. There are some things that are beyond our control. The snow and weather were constant reminders of this. We had to “ease the chill’ by depending on each other. On a bitter day, a new perspective is as warming as a steaming cup of hot chocolate. | continued pte SO cans ai — Students often wondered if the continuous battles with batteries that wouldn't start, defrosters that wouldn't defrost, and tires that kept getting stuck in the drifts was worth the advantages of owning a car in the winter.

Swinford staffer Jim Elsbury thinks ahead as he checks lights before they are hopelessly entangled through tree branches. as Sia Dear Santa, It would be nice if everyone could just smile for Christmas—take one day off from worrying, violence, and war. It would be nice if we could raise our con- sciousness and know the true meaning of Christmas... This was a sincere wish expressed by a freshman from Elkhart. Disheartened by the commercialization of Christmas, he wished that people would stop spending dollars and dollars on gifts, and wrap a lit- tle bit of themselves to give instead. Other students felt that technology and commercialization had not spoiled Christmas, that it is still revered as a special holiday. With new-found in- dependence by being miles from home, many appreicated the yuletide even more. Its special message was enhanced by homecomings and celebrations with dif- ferent friends and groups from school. Helen Cross, Brownsburg, feels that “Christmas is a time of the greatest ex- pression of love and peace.” “It is a time of giving—not necessarily receiving,” said Lindy Roll from In- dianapolis. “Christmas is thrilling and exciting! It’s celebrating the holiday with your family in the spirit of giving,’’ exclaimed freshman Kandi Keller who has been in the army and away from home for the last two years. Christmas was the break most an- ticipated by students and faculty. Classes seemed incidental, and never quite got off the ground. Students were too busy writing Christmas cards, running to this party or that dinner, and stringing pop- corn to worry about studies. “Everyone has a hard time taking classes seriously before Christmas,’’ ad- mitted Robert Guild, instructor of finance and marketing, ‘‘but you can’t let everything go just because it is Christmas.” Religious organizations, halls, frater- nities, and sororities held seasonal events and programs. The Newman Center sponsored its annual Midnight Mass preceded by caroling. The hall dining ser- vices held Christmas Banquets and candlelight breakfasts. Secret Santas and the Hanging of the Greens added to hall merriment. Shively Hall sponsored a program for its international and graduate residents called ‘“‘Christmas Around the World.” Each participating individual sang a song from his country and told how Christmas is celebrated. Greek organizations rang bells for the Salvation Army and prepared baskets of canned goods for needy families as philanthropic projects. ONLY SEVEN DAYS (168 HOURS) UNTIL CHRISTMAS!!! Like little kids tripping down the stairs anxiously to see what Santa had left, students boiled with excitement. HOMEWARD BOUND was the theme that obsessed them; suitcases, dirty clothes, and books were tossed into car trunks. Fifteen days to spend away from Muncie and the rat race we call school! A few students vacationed over break. Jeff Rice spent his Christmas on skis and started the New Year with a gleaming cup in hand. As a family tradition, he and his relatives met in Carbrafay, Michigan for the holidays. Jeff competed in special in- tramural races which are held each year; 1976 proved to be a fruitful and exciting year for Jeff as he walked off victoriously. As the vacation came to a close, a bright 1977 greeted students. Back on campus, many complained that break was too short; they dreaded coming back. Not that it reflected poor attitudes toward school; it simply meant that Christmas was great! more... 64 i Holidays signs of The season Simple in beauty and structure, a delicate Christmas ornament symbolizes the glistening essence of the i Yuletide holiday season.

Prior to the Hanging of the Greens, residents popped fresh batches of popcorn to string (and ended up eating most of it!). a Holidays Although Christmas was probably our biggest break, it was by no means our on- ly holiday celebration. For starters, Hallo- ween held its usual tricks and lighthearted atmosphere. The dining services held special costume contests awarding decorated cakes to the winners. In the Tally-Ho, a ‘‘bobbing-for-apples’”’ booth was set up, challenging those dropping in before classes. In several of the residence halls, children from the Muncie community trick-or-treated. Even college students got into the act by trick-or-treating throughout the dorms. Thanksgiving was especially welcome since it meant a nice, long quarterbreak. This week preceding the holiday was filled with Thanksgiving banquets in the dorms, a special dinner at the Newman Center, and the unnerving pressure of final ex- ams. Many students came back with tans, having spent the break with friends in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. A group of fifteen students spent the entire break in Wheel- ing, West Virginia as part of the Newman Center's Operation Quarterbreak pro- gram. “The Way We Were” was the nostalgic theme of a romantic dinner dance held in the Student Center as a Valentine Day event. Also on that night, February 12, “One Big Party’’ sponsored by the Stu- dent Center Governing Board (SCGB) at- tracted hundreds of students with a disco dance, pizza-eating contest, and several other games. Mike Miller sympathizes with the unfortunate turkey on display at the Student Center. The turkey was eventually given away in a raffle which involved guessing the bird’s weight. Enjoying old-fashioned closeness as well as the old- fashioned “‘labor’’ of a traditional Christmas, Botsford-Swinford residents Jeannie Clements and George Jenkins relax at the Hanging of the Greens. 2h Holidays Media madness Residence hall lounges were packed with eyes glued to the tube, lines of peo- ple shivered in the cold outside Muncie theatres, students ventured into area bookstores periodically, and music blared from hall windows. Learning leaped classroom walls as students turned to the mass media for entertainment as well as education. Television attracted record au- diences with ABC’s “Roots,” NBC's “Gone With the Wind,” and the pre- election presidential debates— complete with a 28-minute gap in the first of the series. Students turned to television to see a series on Hitler, Violence in America, and the two-part showing of “Sybil.” “Happy Days” continued to remain high in the ratings, but gained major con- petition from Farrah Fawcett-Majors, Jaclyn Smith, and Kate Jackson of “Charlie’s Angels.” Some students tuned into Don Ho filmed in Hawaii at noon, or saw Barbara Walters join the ABC Evening News — for $5 million. In the cinemas, Barbara Streisand and Kris Kristofferson fascinated the Muncie area for more than eight weeks in their five-global award winner, ‘‘A Star is Born.”’ On a less romantic mood, Gregory Peck starred in the chiller, ‘‘The Omen,” and Sissy Spacek, drenched in blood, horrified audiences with ‘’Carrie.”” A Christmas-time re-make of ‘‘King Kong” turned out to be a flop in Muncie, falling short of its expected ticket sales. Nursery rhymes sold tickets to campus audiences in the X-rated versions of “Alice in Wonderland” and ‘’Pinochio.”’ “The Wiz,” a black-casted “Wizard of Ox,” hit the stages throughout the na- tion, as ‘Dustin Hoffman in the violent “Marathon Man” and “‘The Town that Dreaded Sundown” appeared in local cinemas. Back in the residence hall, library, or while riding a campus bus, students were reading ‘‘Roots’’ by Alex Hailey, and “Trinity’’ by Leon Uris. ‘The Final Days,”’ new in paperback, was occasionally pur- chased at the bookstore, as well as ‘The Making of a President, 1976’ by Theodore H. White. Stereos, radios, and tape players across campus vibrated with Barbara Streisand’s and Kris Kristofferson’s movie soundtrack, ’‘A Star is Born.’’ From the album, which remained on the charts as number one for four weeks, ‘‘Evergreen”’ reached the top of the singles in February. Other top releases included ‘‘Don’t Go Breakin’ My Heart’ by Elton John and Kiki Dee, “If You Leave Me Now” by Chicago, and “You Don’t Have to be a Star” by Billy Davis, Jr. and Marilyn Mc- Coo. Fleetwood Mac released ‘’Monday Morning,’ the Eagles reached the tops with “Hotel California,’ and Barry Manilow cut “A Weekend in New England’’ along with several other classics. Through television, cinema, novels, and music, students were surrounded with entertaining and educational media presentations. The packed lounges, shivering lines, ventures to the bookstores, and blaring melodies which occupied the lives of students turned out to be well worth the students’ “ from the books” free time. away Arousing more laughter than terror, a new sensa- tionlized movie version of ‘King Kong’’ played in theatres around the country. Receiving substantial publicity because of its special effects, the movie was considered a farce by many students. a Entertainment _ — 70 Relating To religion Lifestyles Is fa Nubbub of rituals and Sunday clothes, or does It hold a special meaning IN the life of a college student?

Naomi Schachter, 20, Syosset, New York, says she receives mixed reactions from friends and classmates when they discover she is Jewish. ‘Most people, though, are curious,” she said. Naomi doesn’t mind answering ques- tions about the Jewish faith and is glad if people take an interest in finding out that she is not “‘different.’’ She is learning to laugh about the stereotypes concerning her religion and heritage. “Sometimes | take it as a joke; sometimes | resent it,” Naomi says. ‘’l've learned to pass off serious comments as ignorance. That way no one gets hurt.’”’ Since she has been at Ball State, Naomi no longer considers herself a strictly-practicing Jew. She says it is im- possible to follow a kosher diet while eating in the Dining Room, and she does study on the Sabbath. “| do homework on Saturdays—it’s a necessity, but | try to take it easy,’’ Naomi explained. She attends the Temple located on East Jackson Street whenever possible and frequently plays the organ. “The Temple is more informal,’’ says Naomi. “‘It’s small and intimate but not what I’m used to.”’ To gain a better understanding of other religions, Naomi visited Newman Center and Campus House. “They are_ in- teresting, but have only strengthened my own convictions,” she said. “Jews place an emphasis on educa- tion,” Naomi pointed out. ‘College is taken seriously.” When Naomi chose Ball State, her parents had no qualms—she was to go to the college of her choice. “We keep in touch and are very close even though there is a great distance,” Naomi said. ‘‘My folks tend to let us go Our own way—they aren’t as uptight about sex and guys as some parents seem to be in other religions.’’ Her parents don’t object to her dating non-Jews although they would prefer she marry a Jew. “| know they wouldn’t cut me off from the family if | didn’t though,” Naomi explained. “| didn't sp rout wings or halos.

But since then, | have something | didn’t have— assurance. Assurance that someone loves me.” “Apart from God, you can do nothing,’’ Corky continued. ‘But if your life is given to Him, it’s not likely you'll _ find yourself barking up the wrong tree.” Corky says she has given her whole life to Christ and is willing to accept the plan he has for her—she is open to His will. Since then, religion and Christ have been a motivating force in her life. She is in- volved in Leadership Training Program, Master Action Group, Campus Crusade, and serves as president of Botsford Hall. “I find time to get it done,”’ Corky said. “It is rewarding and enjoyable...! see fulfilled lifestyles and contented people. But | also see the problem of loneliness On this campus. Through Campus Crusade, Corky talks with diversified individuals about their problems and faith. ‘The extremes are the people who are really ready,”’ she said. ‘Those that are lukewarm are the hardest to reach.’’ She says that she has truly seen miracles worked in and through people. Amid her busy schedule, Corky sets aside an hour of quiet time each day which is devoted to prayer, reading, or contemplation. She leads a fully active life with time allotted for friends, a steady beau, and studies. “Christian life is an exciting life! | wouldn't trade it for the world,”” ex- claims Corky. Karen Connolly, 20, Chicago, feels religion is something ‘very personal.’’ She says it is a set of spiritual beliefs that serve as a guide through life, giving pur- pose, strength, and comfort. “| feel stronger about my religion since | came to school—not in outward ways but in more personal ways,’ Karen ex- plained. ‘‘Here | can search through what | believe more on my own effort, not because someone is stabbing me in the back.”’ Karen, who is from a _ Catholic background, said college has had a broadening effect on her. “I was raised believing the whole world was Catholic!”’ Religion is important to her even though it is not overpowering or promi- nent in her lifestyle; it is more subtle. She said people who are very outward with their religion cause some discomfort to her. “| feel somewhat pressured and guilty, but it does make me review how | really feel,’’ Karen admitted. ‘Religion tells the purpose of life,’’ she continued. ‘‘It tells how you should be liv- ing. Priorities, philosophies, and religion seem to be_ interrelated.’’ Karen's philosophy is one of “loving thy neighbor as thyself’ and believing in the good of other people. “I'm guilty, though, of judging people on first impressions and looks,’’ Karen confessed. ‘'! feel it is wrong even though it. seems to be the norm these days.”’ | feel stonger about my religion—not in Outward ways but in more personal ways.” Although Naomi Schachter finds it difficult to be a strictly-practicing Jew on a college campus, she follows the Jewish laws as closely as possible. Visiting other religious denominations strengthens her strong convictions as a Jew. Corky Lamb feels that accepting the life of a Chris- tian changed her entire life. Aside from serving as president of Botsford Hall, Corky is involved in Leadership Training Program, Master Action Group, and Campus Crusade.

Yuletide celebration Lifestyles Festive foot-stompin’ Country Comfort, the theme of the Newman Center folk festival, sounded promising enough to lure some 500 Ball State students and Muncie-area residents to Gallagher Hall over Halloween weekend. Many students, already familiar with some of the featured performers, knew what to expect. Others knew only what they wanted to hear. Over the course of 17 acts and two evenings, they heard it—and more. It didn’t take long for a first-night crowd of about 300 to realize that this was not to be your commonplace, run-of-the- mill folk festival. About half an hour into Friday's show, after a film presentation by John Fuller and a set of entertaining, but relatively tame folk ballads by the Newman Folk Group, Adam Gawlinkowski, a Ball State graduate and a veteran of ten consecutive Newman Center folk festivals (he emceed the first two in 1965 and 1966) wailed out a bluesy rendition of ‘Nobody Knows You When You’re Down and Out” that literally shook the hay-lined stage on its foundations. Some 20 minutes later, singer-guitarist John Stearns capped a set which had already ranged from folk to pop with Arlen and Harburg’s ‘““Somewhere Over the Rainbow,’’ a song which has no more to do with country than the fact that Dorothy happened to be in Kansas when she sang it. After Stearn’s the show took a folk turn once again with a set from sisters Joan and Mary Kay Van Camp. They were followed by industrial arts professor Jim Kirkwood and Joanna Geary who offered a steady dose of Kris Kristofferson songs. Then it was foot-stomping times as emcee John Bultman’s Bittersweet String Band took off with ‘’Pig in a Pen’ and closed some 45 minutes later. Friday’s show ended on a mellow note with sets from Pete Swenson, Steve Morse, Ron Voss and Simon Stock. The 200 or so that braved the rain and showed up on Saturday night were treated to a show much more oriented toward bluegrass. Like the preceeding night’s show, however, it was highlighted by the unusual rather than the usual. Unusual was about the only description some could apply to one act, The New York Avenue Ad Hoc Jug Band, a motley army of some 30 Muncie locals bearing guitars, banjos, tambourines, —har- monicas, jugs, washboards, kazoos, slide whistles, and even a one-man-band per- cussion set. Their music was by and large unrecognizable, but their on-state antics made them one of the most popular acts of the night. For some the evening was educational. Early in the show, Jenny Smith of the Cedar Creek String Band demonstrated the dobro, a string instrument played with a feather. Shortly thereafter, Sherry Wolfe, a Ball State student, performed on a mouth bow, a single-stringed instru- ment played with — what else? — the mouth. One of the evening’s most popular per- formers was Ball State student Barbara Bell, who demonstrated tremendous vocal power and range with songs from Melanie and Bob Dylan as well as with a couple of her own tunes. The festival closed on a bluegrass beat with a half-hour jam session from the Bit- tersweet String Band and Anderson's Bluegrass Breakthrough. Hundreds of people from all faiths hear Fr. Steve Wise proclaim the ‘‘Good News” of the Christmas Gospel at Newman Center's Midnight Mass. Candles lighted the pathways leading to the doors of Gallagher Hall as participants Christmas-caroled from the halls. Students took part in the liturgy by writings during the Offertory. A reception was held after the Mass. The Christmas celebration is one of many dinners, productions, and activities the Newman Center hosts for the entire student body. With the exception of the Thursday coffeehouses, the events are usually very well attended. exchanging small gifts of candy, poems, and a Dave Frank and Gary Minor load the car with the bare minimum to carry them through a weekend away. Clusters of people filled the LaFollette parking lot on Friday mornings searching for rides contacted earlier in the week through ride-boards. LaFollette resident shows that not everything can be left behind in halls over the weekend or quarter- break. Some students talked maids into watering plants for them, while others had to wrap the greenery in plastic or transport it to friends’ apart- ments off campus. The fever always struck on Wednes- day afternoons as stir-crazy studiers flocked to the ride-boards. By Thursday evening, it burned with hot intensity as rowdy parties and turned-up stereos signaled the beginning of another exodus. On Friday mornings, the mad rush out of the room, down the halls, out the doors, and into the cars took place. And by Fri- day afternoon, the corridors lay desolate, the campus deserted. Not seeming to mind the stigmatized “Suitcase-College”’ label, a major portion of Ball State University literally packed up and left town for three days a week. In search for “‘‘more parties,’ ‘different “a faces, and “a new environment,” A ee Weekends students were drawn to other universities throughout the Midwest. Nothing seemed to stop these loaded- down travelers; as the weekends grew colder in the winter, the migrations grew larger. As the weekends grew warmer throughout the spring quarter, the exodus seemed to double. When the “Big Freeze’ hit the campus in early February, causing roads to become impassable, many students panicked — they simply didn’t know what to do with themselves for a whole weekend in Muncie. Where did they go, these weekend deserters, part-time Ball Staters? ‘‘Home- sweet-home’’ was the number one destination, with Indiana University and Purdue in Lafayette running close seconds. The reasons? For most, a bad case of the Boredom Blahs (’‘there’s never anything to do _ here’), the Hometown Honey Blues (“I can’t make it through the week without seeing her’’), or a craving for Mom’s home cooking (“‘l fasted all week for this!’’) Other universities didn’t even need to have concerts and rowdy parties to draw the Ball State vagabonds. The fun-filled sport of ‘‘College-Hopping’’ was enough of a challenge to those with nothing to do for a weekend. Simply grab a few friends, jump into a car, and ‘“‘hop” from college to college. No need to worry — one was always welcomed by former high school buddies. Ironically, certain groups of students left the campus in order to represent the college. Over 50 students throughout the year travelled to various colleges in the Midwest, winning trophies as the Ball State speech squad. Loyal Cardinal fans and athletes backed Ball State sporting teams as they struggled away from home territory. Journalism and theatre students participated in conferences in Chicago and Terre Haute to better university publications and productions. And so the Friday migrations, the “Weekend Exodus” turned Ball State into the common “Suitcase College.’’ For most students, dialing long-distance simply wasn’t the same as being there! ¥ apenas tea hd: Armed with stuffed duffle bags (disguising dirty laundry?), Jim Elsbury, Dave Lilly, and Paul Duckenberger prepare to ‘‘take off’ for a weekend.

Weekends | I [ Because of students stealing caps off standpipes connected to fire hoses, firemen experienced trou- ble getting enough pressure to fight the Shively blaze. Cleaning up debris afterward was difficult as water flooded the halls. | Fire alarms were not the only scares that caused LaFollette residents to evacuate the complex. A bomb scare on January 25 caused students to shiver in the cold for over an hour as officials checked the corridors. Nothing was found. Originating in the closet vicious flames demolished the room of Shively residents, Mohammed Zolfaghari and Josiah Kawira. Believed to be caus- ed by carelessness, the fire raised serious issues concerning safety standards in the residence halls. gnites outbreak of fires Sanday! January 28. Groups of students relaxed around freshly popped bowls of popcorn, unwinding from weekend parties and trips. Others in- habited study lounges or stayed in rooms to catch up on lost homework. For the residents of Edwards Hall it was a perfect- ly normal Sunday evening. Until 8:49 p.m., that is, when the shrill of the fire alarm brought students quickly to their feet and out the exits. Shivering in the subzero temperature moments later, the students were informed that this was only a false alarm. It was no wonder then, that when the second alarm went off at 12:14 that morn- ing, students dragged themselves out of bed, some even sleeping through the alarm. The frightening smell and ap- pearance of heavy black smoke in the cor- ridors a few minutes later quickly con- vinced the residents of the reality of this alarm. Striking a- third floor room in Edwards Hall, the fire completely destroyed all the personal belongings of freshmen Kenny Eaton and Chris Garriott. Several other rooms were damaged by smoke, causing the occupants to stay in study lounges, fraternity houses, or with friends for the remaining week. The last fire truck left LaFollette Complex at 2 a.m. that morn- ing. Seven students were treated for smoke inhalation, but only one was kept over- night at the Health Center according to Tom Osborn, director of Traffic, Safety, and Security. Although the exact cause was uncertain, fire officials believed that the blaze was caused by carelessness—a smoldering cigarette, a florescent black light. End of story? Unfortunately, no. A mere eight days later, flames destroyed the room of Mohammad Zolfaghari and Josiah Kawira of Shively Hall. Zolfaghari and a friend tried to extinguish the fire themselves but eventually gave up and pulled the alarm. Because of a telephone mix-up, there was a four-minute delay in reporting the fire. Two students and one fireman were treated at Ball Memorial Hospital for smoke inhalation. Another student was found unconscious and given mouth-to- mouth resuscitation by officer Ron Johnson. The fire originated in the closet, and once again officials blamed it on carelessness. When serious trouble erupts, does it really come in groups of three? A few days after the Shively blaze, fire broke out in Rogers Hall causing ‘‘undetermined damage’ to room 318, occupied by Kim Moyer and Brenda Bohnenkamp. Although there were no injuries, the residents were badly shaken. It apparently started when an ashtray was emptied into a wastebasket. According to University president John Pruis, ‘‘Our fire investigators concurred with the chief of Muncie Fire Department in finding that all three of the fires were caused by carelessness.” The fires also stirred a wave of con- troversy and criticism involving safety precautions and equipment in_ the residence halls. In a meeting with univer- sity officials the evening after the fire, Shively residents expressed concern over a lack of enough fire extinguishers (one for every 20 rooms), staff members, or fire marshalls. Welker Bishop, assistant dean of hous- ing, Suggested making room keys usable on the fire doors. Also, because of 37 fire alarms received by the campus police since July (29 more than the amount in the same period in the previous year), Welker said the university was consider- ing giving $200 rewards for information leading to the arrest of a person who pull- ed a false alarm. Off-campus residents were sym- pathetic to the situation in the residence halls although they were not as directly in- volved. On Saturday, February 19, however, what was human sympathy turned to frightening reality as a fourth fire changed the lives of Ball State students — this time erupting on the third floor of the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity house, 710 Riverside Avenue. No one was injured, although the living quarters on the west side of the third floor were completely ruined by fire, and smoke and water damage occurred on the first and second floors. Four companies of firemen responded to the 11:43 p.m. call, which was phoned in by a resident of the home. Since no residents were present in the area where the fire began, the exact cause of the blaze was uncertain. Several fraternity members tried throwing water onto the flames after smelling smoke, but left as the blaze grew in intensity. The outbreak of the four fires made students naturally uneasy, bringing back frightening memories of the ironic series of fires that had taken place in Studebaker Complex the previous year. The cause of those fires was never discovered; the sad thing about the 1977 fires was that most of them could have been avoided. mt Fire eee eeeeccicaapeeeeiccanenmeecaeecneaeee Not considered a park area like the Delaware County Fairgrounds or the Reservoir, the White River serves as a research source for lab experiences in natural resources and other science courses. When Robert and Helen Lynd wrote “Middletown, U.S.A. (published in 1929), they referred to Ball State as ‘’a small college in a swamp area”’ and im- plied that it would never amount to much. It's no wonder that 13 years later as the Lynds researched for ‘Middletown in Transition,” they couldn't believe the changes that had taken place in the com- munity because of that widely-expanding “swamp college.”’ Today, the Lynds would probably be astounded at the strong impact the University has upon the surrounding com- munity and vice-versa. Involvement with the “outside world,’’ namely the Muncie community, is a natural part of the stu- dent’s academic and social lifestyle. On Friday nights one can encounter university students throughout the entire city. Since the residence halls do not serve on these nights, students crowd the tables of Ponderosa, Siciliano’s, and Pizza King.

On special occasions, such as having the folks up for the weekend, places like the Red Lobster were especially crowded. Cork ‘n Cleaver served as that ‘’sepcial place’’ to take a sweetheart or favorite date. Many students found a serious involve- ment with the community through service organizations. Fifty-five Ball Staters par- ticipated in the Big Brothers of Delaware County Program. After filling out an ap- plication and attending orientation, train- ing, and interview sessions, students were matched with a “‘little brother’ or “little sister’’ from the Muncie communi- ty. The volunteers were committed to participate for a year, spending at least an hour a week with their new ‘family member.” Young actors, actresses, dancers, ar- tists, and costumers seeking outside ex- perience in the theatre auditioned for the Muncie Civic Theatre. The musical “Oliver,”’ performed fall quarter, attracted many community and student spectators, selling out a few days before opening night. Muncie residents attended university play productions, sports events, lectures and night classes. Several professional productions appearing in Emens auditorium drew Muncie crowds. Includ- ed were the ‘Belle of Amherst’ starring Julie Harris, “‘Shenandoah,’’ and “Carmen.” Exhibits set up at the Ball State Art Gallery featured prints, drawings, paint- ings, and sculptures, providing cultural opportunities for the community. The an- nual Madrigal Christmas Dinner, held in the Arts Gallery, sold out to mostly city residents before the event. Monthly ethnic dinners sponsored by the International House provided an educational, entertaining, and tasty eve- ning for the whole family. Dinners were usually accompanied by slide shows and presentations describing the features of the country being honored. Yes, when people heard the name “Muncie” years ago, they probably thought of ‘‘Middletown, U.S.A.” Today, upon hearing the same name, they pro- bably think ‘Ball State University.” If only the Lynds could see us now!

Bogged down with last-minute projects, the pressures of final exams, and the biting below-zero weather, students and professors alike “‘dragged’’ themselves from one end of the campus to another. Conversation was subdued, nerves were on edge, and spirits were blue as we counted off the days remaining until break. Thursday, February 24: Talk about a change of pace! Shouts and sighs of relief could be heard as we walked out of that last final (Well, | didn’t do so well but at least it’s over with!). Scowls turned into smiles as books were tossed on cluttered shelves and clothes tossed into heavily- loaded suitcases. For 12 days it was “goodbye” to Muncie and “hello” to relaxation! Winter quarterbreak was especially welcome by the time February rolled around. After two months of what Time’ magazine nicknamed the ‘‘Big Freeze’ (because of the unusually cold weather conditions throughout the na- tion), ‘takin’ it easy’’ for a few days seemed to be a dream come true. “I'm going to get my head together and be with pople | love to be with,’’ said Ken- dra Synder, summerizing her plans for break. ‘‘Home’’ seemed to be the most sought after place to go—the best place to ‘‘get away from it all.”’ There were the usual crowds who plan- ned to line the beaches of Fort Launder- dale, Florida, soaking up the rays, sear- ching for new acquaintances, and return- ing with bronze tans. Nothing better than a long-planned trip to chase those blues (and the bad weather) away! Eighteen students under the chair- manship of junior Ray Shafer and the sponsorship of the Newman Center par- ticipated in the Operation Quarterbreak program, travelling to Chicago. “What am | doing over break? I’m go- ing home and looking for a summer job,” said Priscilla St. Jacquers. Like Priscilla, many students spent their ‘‘break’’ mak- ing a little extra pocket money for spring quarter or looking ahead for a summer job. Believe it or not, there were still a few things happening on the campus throughout break. Several new foreign students from Saudia Arabia, Iran, and other places were warmly greeted and settled into their new homes through a special orientation program sponsored by the International House. Other students, held back by jobs in the Muncie com- munity, couldn't afford to escape for 12 days of break. Whethe r it was Florida sunshine, home with Mom and Dad, and the old high school crowd, or by working in the hometown grocery store, quarterbreak was a much-needed, much-looked- forward-to time of the year. Perhaps Mark Beckley had the best idea—‘’What am | doing? he asked. ‘‘Ab- solutely nothing!

Gala posters advertising shows that have come and gone through Emens decorate the walls; autographed photos of famous celebrities crowd the file drawers. And behind it all, Earl Williams sits back amidst a sea of contracts, brochures, performance schedules and season ticket forms. “To be in the presence of a true master like Julie Harris is truly a unique ex- perience for the students,’’ he said, poin- ting at the dozens of flashy posters. “‘The Emens’ presentations are not man- datory, but rather an opportunity. We feel it’s part of a student’s education.” Throughout the past 12 years, this ‘open door to education” has attracted over 2 million students and Muncie residents, and in excess of $1 million in contracts have been signed. The performers are very complimentary toward the facilities of this auditorium,” Williams said. ‘‘“We have not had any serious contract disputes and some have said it’s one of the best auditoriums they have worked in.”’ Sounds of Maynard Ferguson highlight Emen’s of- ferings. Community members as well as students were brought together culturally through the diversi- ty of shows available during the year. a Performers me Broadway Fall quarter performance of ‘‘A Little Night Music, ’’ is one of the mainstage productions offered in the Artist Series in October. The show was available to students by presenting their ID. The phone rings for the umpteenth time, and Williams gives his regrets, tell- ing the caller the auditorium is fully book- ed. ‘We have to book a year in advance,” he said after he hung up the phone. “There are so many good things that you can’t book them all in a year.’’ Manager of Emens since it opened in 1964, Williams said he is not directly responsible for choosing the performers. “The committees do the choosing, and then hand the situation over to me,’ he explained. “I think that’s the way it should be; we need a cross-section of people to give input into what should be 4nd Coach John Wooden were a few of ultimately booked.” Comprised of faculty members as well as students, the Auditorium Programs Convocation Committee determines who will perform in the Artist Series, Concert Series and convocations. Variety was a key word throughout the year as “A Little Night Music,”’ “Taming of the Shrew,” “The Belle of Amherst,” ‘‘Shenandoah,”’ and ‘Sherlock Holmes,’ were presented on mainstage. The Concert Series includ- ed such renowned performers as the Buf- falo Philharmonic Orchestra, Royal Win- nipeg Ballet, Eugene Fodor, Waverly Consort, and Boston Symphony Chamber Players. Dr. Kenneth Galbraith the guest lecturers. “Attendance increased this year com- pared to previous years,’’ said Williams, explaining this might be due to faculty en- couragement, publicity during summer orientation, and a more appealing schedule of entertainment. ‘’Unfortunate- ly, students sometimes attend only the shows they’ve heard of, when often- times, the exciting things are those they haven't heard of.”’ Aside from the Auditorium Programs Convocation Committee, Williams works with the Student Auditorium Advisory Committee (SAC). Comprised of students, this group selects pop per- formances although “they didn’t do more {83 Performers | anything this year,’’ according to Williams. The auditorium is also rented to com- munity organizations (for $500 as long as they are non-profit). | and campus groups such as Sigma Nu who sponsored the Firefall concert. The campus organizations rent the auditorium for $400, keeping half the profits, and donating the other half to Student Foun- dation for scholarships. “This not only benefits the organiza- tion, but the Student Foundation,” Williams explained. “It is the students who initially support the performances A wealth of talent was poured forth during Julie Harris’ portrayal of Emily Dickinson in “The Belle of Amherst.’ Directed by Charles Nelson Reilly, the entire action of the play, based on the life of the poet Emily Dickinson, takes place in the Dickinson home in Amherst, Massachusetts, bet- ween 1845 and 1886. Perhaps the most astonishing thing about ‘’The Belle of Amherst’’ was. the fact that Harris was Top talent the sole performer. This fact actually worked to advantage in making the audience feel as if she were talking directly to them. Invited into the afternoon tea, the audience was led, by means of conversation with unseen family and the students who benefit in the end through the scholarships.” Once the performers are determined, Williams ‘schedules all the facilities,”’ working out the negotiations and con- tracts. “This office actually sets up the contracts with the booking agencies,”’ he explained. ‘‘That way, the agencies just have to work with one office on campus.

According to Williams, ‘The Belle of Amherst” was well-received and ap- preciated by the students. Other per- formances such as the Royal Winnipeg Ballet and Eugene Fodor didn’t host as large an audience. “Those audiences weren't large ones; but they were ap- preciative ones,’’ Williams said. The manager felt the University Singers “Spectacular’ was the most. well- - attended Emens attraction. ‘‘Of course, they give three different performances, which really makes a difference,’’ he pointed out.

The actual two and a half hour per- formance, though, isn’t what chairmen Tom Owens and Mike Earley will remember. Selling a major concert on campus was an experience for them, an accomplishment for Ball State. Tom said the administration was pleas- ed with crowd behavior and student re- action, which nas been a big concern in the past. The administration stresses, though, that the reason major concerts are rarely brought to the university is not because administrators feel students are irrespons- ible, but because popular groups demand huge crowds of at least 18,000 before tickets can be reasonably priced and sales profitable; Emens Auditorium has a Capacity of 3,600 which would not pool a profit. Highlighting the year’s concert events, Firefall brought 2,950 students to the spring musical display. Ball Staters as well as Muncie high school students, celebrated the occasion in Emens Auditorium. “We could not have asked for any more cooperation from Earl Williams, director of Emens. He did a super job in helping and advising us,’’ exclaimed Mike. Dealing with Firefall agents and managers, however, was more of a challenge. ‘If you can swing a fair deal and have even communications with agencies and managers, you can deal with anyone without getting screwed over,’’ both Tom and Mike agreed. After contacing Firefall’s agent in California and clearing Emens Auditorium, a written and verbal contract was secured. The rider, an artful provision in the written contract, asked for luxury accomodations—a stay at the Holiday Inn, 13 meals of barbequed spare ribs, one diabetic meal, and two cases of Heineken beer. The wary chairmen merely X-ed out this provision, and with a tinge of sarcasm Mike explained, ‘‘The agents hope you will agree to the rider; they'll take whatever they can get.”’ Hassles concerning the contract arose the day of the show because of a misunderstanding between the agent and the road crew manager. After strained communications, Tom and Mike agreed—with the stipulation of full reimbursement—to stock the roadies” with Coca-Cola and other simple re- quests. more... [89 COMEBACK TRAIL continued “Some roadies were very personable, though, interesting and nice to work with,’ said Mike. Backstage action and bargaining gave Tom and Mike an extra dimension of: Firefall—as chairmen they were in direct contact with the personalites of the group. The excitement wore off, though, as the long day dragged on. Mike complain- ed of being stationed backstage from noon, when the roadies arrived, until mid- night, when the set was torn down. “We would have enjoyed being in the audience and seeing Firefall as a group, but there were responsibilities that ee Concerts Bootleg, playing for Strawberry Fields at Shakey’s Pizza Parlor, includes member Dave Rennbarger, Rick Dwenger, Bob King, Bill Rushmore, and Chuck Horn.

Clad in a blue vested suit, Mike appeared calm as he welcomed the 2,950 people seated in Emens Auditorium. Tom, original candidate for the in- troduction, explained his tactic: he was only trying to save his co-chairman from “unecessary anxiety and stage jitters’ by hurling Mike on stage with no prewarn- ing. Prior to opening night, Tom lost three consecutive nights’ sleep, and both chairmen noted suffering grades and ir- ritability as apprenension mounted. “My mind was ‘CONCERT’ from quarter break until the day of the per- formance,’’ said Tom. “...Everything came after the concert, even my studies.” While Tom and Mike were downing Ex: cederine to drown pent-up tension, the rest of the campus, especially other Sigma Nus, were priming for the big event. “The brothers were especially fired-up because they were a part of bringing the concert to campus,’’ commented Mike. After a standing ovation, stage clean- up, and a “hearty party,’’ Tom and Mike sighed, ‘‘We feel we really accomplished something; we're proud.” oe Meets: ¢ te Entertaining hometown Por ssvesl occasions throughout the year, Michael Henderson backs up Firefall in the spring quarter concert sponsored bya Sigma Nu.

The house lights dimmed and all hush- ed to.a barely audible whisper. “INTRODUCING J. MICHAEL HENDER- SON.” Limelights splashed on the 24-year-old celebri- ty, who was smartly clad in a white vested suit which tapered conspicuously into blue gold sneakers. With several guitar and piano solos, Henderson comfortably lured his audience into mellow relaxa- tion. His style, a rhythmic country rock, is easy, invigorating. J. Michael Henderson, a popular artist in the Muncie area, has his roots and home here. In- fluenced by the Beatles and Stevie Wonder, 11- year-old Henderson, the youngest member of the Rouge band, performed live at Brady Hall. ““Everyone probably thought the four of us were little creeps,’’ Henderson admits now. ‘‘We sang like little squirrels.”’ Discouraged by his first and last guitar lesson, the technical jargon, and frustrating chords, Henderson decided to pick popular songs by ear. Later, when fairly confident with a number of in- struments and song writing, he even stopped pur- chasing albums so they would not influence his originality. A graduate of Burris High School, Henderson attempted one year of pre-med at Western Ken- tucky University, only to revert back to music. “‘ missed playing a hell of a lot; that’s when | knew.” Henderson had dreams, ambitions, and a stub- born sense of independence. Even though no one wanted original music, that was the only kind Henderson was offering! The static received from club owners succeeded only in strengthening his determination. Henderson decided to take a risk, and with the help of a loan he arranged and produced his first album ‘To Make the Night Complete.’”” It was with its release that Michael Henderson rose in popularity. But cutting his first record was also the culprit of much pressure. Henderson explains that the pressure forced him to start thinking and accep- ting responsibility for all his actions. The only con- finement, he feels, is not having time to write. When admirers approach Henderson, he is nothing but flattered. ‘I don’t have any fans; | feel like they are friends,’’ he replied. J. Michael describes the many letters received as “‘heart- warming, not head-warming.”’ As his hit ‘’My Music” implies, success to this artist is touching people so they won't feel alone in their own whirl of problems or realizations. Shuffled between concerts, clubs, tapings, and practices, Henderson manages to grab a few hours of sleep. Some nights, though, when creativity is peaking, the vigil bu rns from 10 p.m. to6 a.m. Henderson devotes the 100 per cent his art re- quires, but he has not sacrificed seeing friends, riding his horse, skiing, or playing tennis. The musician refinished the two-story log cabin in whch he is presently residing. The cabin, in- herited from WHenderson’s grandmother, is situated on a small farm where he has ac- cumulated a host of special ‘‘friends’’ —six cats, a horse, ian owl, an oppossum, and his dog, Jude. “Save the Animals” only hints of Henderson’s passion for animals which has decreed him a vegetarian. “| make friends with animals, and | can’t eat my friends,’’ he said. The future? J. Michael Henderson simply plans o “play it by ear.” Concerts —{ Miss BSU Poised pageantry Miss B.S.U.

Thirty-four girls sponsored by residence halls and Greek organizations initially vied for the title, competing in evening gown. interview, swimsuit, and talent competitions on March 19 and 20. Judges Robert Sherman, Anderson; Janet Morrow, Yorktown; Cliff Brugger, Elwood; and Sandy Thomson, Columbia City, interviewed each contestant and selected 10 semi-finalists to compete at Muncie Central. Those present for the competition (held off-campus for the first time) were in for a real treat. Talent presentations varied from Marysia Klus’ Scottish dance to Paranita Sherard’s sewing slide presenta- tion and the acrobats of Tiann Steinhilber. Strong vocal solos were per- formed by Madelyn Anderson, Jocelyn Heller, Carole Surratt, and newly crown- ed royalty Nancy Hof. Sponsored by Hurlbut Hall, Nancy Helling played the piano; Lynne Caffee demonstrated poised gymnasitc routines, and Patti Napier per- formed a graceful ballet. “| know no one will ever believe me, but | didn’t expect to win,”” Nancy said a few days after the contest. A sophomore from Carmel, Nancy was sponsored by Sigma Sigma Sigma. ‘’! didn’t feel at all confident and was really surprised when | won.” Nancy stressed that the contest involv- ed much more than a beauty judging. “Students have the impression that through Miss BSU the most beautiful girl on campus gets a scholarship; but that’s not it,’” she said. ‘How you handle the in- terview is really important.”’ Nancy expressed her appreciation for different experiences she has already had as Miss Ball State. ‘‘I’ve dealt with a lot of situations | wouldn't have without the ti- tle,” she explained. ‘‘The pageant really helped me with my self-confidence in dealing with people.’’ Since the crown- ing, she’s officiated at Bike-A-Thon, at- tended several dinners, and been asked to judge other pageants. Prior to announcing Nancy as the new Miss Ball State, Master of Ceremonies Al Rent named several other winners: Jocelyn Heller, Miss Congeniality; Madelyn Anderson, first runner-up; Par- nita Sherard, second runer-up; Carole Surratt, third runner-up; and Lynn Caf- fee, fourth runner-up. “The girls were a lot nicer than | thought they would be—there was less backbiting,”” Nancy commented. And veteran contestant Nancy Helling added, “Having been in the finals for two years, | enjoyed this year more because | was confident with a year’s experience. Also, the girls seemed much closer and friendlier.”’ Funds collected from the ticket sales, programs, and contributions were donated to the American Cancer Society. MISS BLACK BSU Poised pageantry Thundering applause and heart-felt congratulations signaled the crowning of Jearlyn Steele, freshman from Gary, as Miss Black BSU for 1977. The new royalty was also chosen Miss Congeniality. The pageant, sponsored by the Black Student Association, took place on Sunday, April 17 in the Student Center Ballroom. Jearlyn now qualifies for the Miss Black Expo, which is to be held in Indianapolis this year. ‘I plan to enter this pageant and | am getting ready for it now,” said the freshman. Jearlyn is majoring in special educa- tion. ‘‘I like working with children. | want to work with the exceptional ones--the handicapped and mentally retarded,’’ said Steele whose minor is music. Jearlyn loves to travel, and her other hobbies include singing, listening to good music, sewing, and socializing (meeting people). She says she enjoys clothes and above all she loves church. ‘Church is my life, ’ commented the newly-crowned royalty. “| decided to run at the last minute,” said Jearlyn. ‘There were eight students, but two dropped out. Everybody was real- ly close and friendly towards each other. | really wasn’t nervous at the tea they gave for us to meet the judges, but when tne curtains opened up the day of the pageant, we all got nervous.” Jearlyn called her manager, Linda Rent, a freshman from Indianapolis ‘‘fan- tastic.”” ‘‘She was always there to calm me down and see that | had everything | needed. She is a really beautiful person. She is what | consider a true friend. There were times when she was so happy for me that we cried together.’’ In the talent competition, Jearlyn received a standing ovation for her rendi- tion of ‘Precious Lord.”’ “| tried to por- tray a story when | sang this song,” she said. ‘‘| have been asked many times why | sang it; it signifies everything | feel. | know that, without the Lord, | couldn't make it.”” The new Miss Black BSU’s duties in- clude attending banquets and social func- tions as both a guest and a speaker. In ad- dition, she has been asked to sing at a number of church and local programs, in- cluding the gospel extravaganza held May 7 at University Hall, where she was the guest soloist. Jearlyn feels that blacks can do anything they want to do. ‘We as a race should never settle for second best. Because we have been conditioned to be second best doesn’t mean that we have to settle for it.” Miss Black BSU ic People across the campus were not exactly ‘’whistlin’ Dixie.’ Overall, the at- mosphere was unusually quiet and hush- ed on November 4 in a sudden realization that things were going to change, and former Georgia Governor Jimmy Carter was the man who was going to instigate the changes. In an all-night battle for the presidency, Carter managed to edge incumbent Gerald Ford out of the White House by a mere 2 per cent. Students voting in the two campus precincts, however, gave President Ford the extra edge with 310 votes to Carter’s 255. Though political experts predicted light voting nation wide, the two campus precincts had an unusually large turnout according to precinct voting inspector Kathy Miller. ‘Most kids vote by absentee ballot,” Kathy explained. ‘‘We were surprised at the increased voter turnout.”’ Out of 1,000 of those registered to vote in the LaFollette Commons and University Theatre, 565 showed up on the clear sun- ny day to support their candidates. In ma- jor area races, Ball State gave Republican Richard Lugar a win over the incumbent Senator Vance Hartke. As _ projected, Governor Otis Bowen easily slid by Democrat Larry Conrad in the guber- natorial race. One Democrat, Phil Sharp was returned to the U.S. House of Representatives for Indiana’s tenth district by beating out William Frazier. Throughout the autumn quarter the campus was visited by candidates deliver- ing campaign promises to area voters. In- cluded in the barage was Jimmy Carter's son Chip, who spoke to several hundred people in the Teachers College. In an effort to better understand the presidential debates, associate professor Dorothy Rudoni of the political science department organized a special viewing of the debates for government students in Carmichael Hall. Afterwards, the students discussed the different aspects presented in each candidate. In fact, the political mania generated throughout the entire campus as the elec- tions served as lecture topics, class discussions, and term paper themes. In the Tally-Ho, special televisions were set up so that students could watch the debates and discuss them afterwards. Lounges were filled with concerned voters witnessing the debates and elec- tion returns (usually Ford fans on one side and Carter supporters on the other). Textbooks and notecards were tem- porarily stored away for political science and government students as they watch- ed and experienced ‘‘history in the making.”” Residents from Edwards Hall reflect both sides of the controversy with election propaganda. Political mania swept the campus with posters and T-shirts. — Neighborhood | Pea Headquarters | Whistlin’ Dixie? Jeff Carter tries to swing votes for his father, Jimmy Carter, in the Muncie area.

This reporter hears reports that other networks have an- nounced different projections. Apparently there are televisions and radios switched on elsewhere in the hall, an indication that there might bemore students interested in this election than is shown by the turnout in the lounge. Note: The lounge crowd is becoming progressively pro-Carter, and this reporter is unable to discern whether this trend is due to the Georgian’s early lead or to an influx of Carterites in the lounge area. 10:00. Carter has built up a substantial lead due to the early returns from the South and East, but the Plains states are just beginning to report, and they are go- ing solidly for Ford. As Carter steadily in- creases in popularity in the Hurst Lounge, this reporter is now able to attribute this phenomenon to the old bandwagon ef- fect. He has noticed several rather vociferous Ford supporters suddenly claiming to have been for Carter all along. 11:50. New York has recently been pro- jected for Carter and the few remaining Republicans in the Hurst Lounge are con- ceding their man has lost it. That seems Late-night 7:00 p.m., November 2. A sizable crowd has gathered in the Hurst Lounge as we await the first returns of this elec- tion. Half the seats are occupied, about 20 spectators in all. This reporter figures that’s not bad for a hall of 400. 7:30. Georgia, West Virginia, and Alabama have all been projected for Carter by NBC. This does not sit well with the mostly partisan Ford crowd that has now grown to about 30 students; but spirits begin to rise when Indiana’s 13 electoral votes are placed in the Ford col- umn. (The second precinct, which in- cludes Johnson and LaFollette com- plexes, went solidly for Ford, Lugar, Bowen, and a lone Democrat, Phil Sharp). 9:00. As NBC’s red, white, and blue Bicentennial map clearly demonstrates, Jimmy Carter is sweeping the South and building a comfortable lead. The crowd in the Hurst Lounge has continued to grow, levelling off at about 40, or some 10 per the sensible thing to do at this point, since Carter is now only nine electoral votes away from the White House. The suspense is out of it for most, and a mass migration to bed or elsewhere has begun. 2:10 a.m., November 3. Only 14 die- hards remain in the lounge. Of these, nine, including this reporter, are struggl- ing to keep awake. Ford has taken Michigan, New Jersey, and virtually all of the West. Carter still needs nine electoral votes. 2:35. Carter still needs nine votes. However, Hawaii and Mississippi look like the combination Carter needs, and he is doing well in both states. Still, the net- works aren't conceding anything, and the loungers are beginning to suspect a Union Carbide (NBC’s chief election-night sponsor) plot to keep the program run- ning as long as possible so that we might be inundated with as many of their com- mercials as possible. 2:55. Only eight loungers are left, of which about half are awake. Those that are still awake are getting restless. “Maybe another network has already given it to Carter,’ someone hints. A mo- tion is raisea concerning switcning chan- nels. The motion is defeated. No one has the energy. 3:05. Carter wins Hawaii! He now lacks only five votes. Still NBC refrains from declaring him the next President. Ohio, II- linois, Maine, Mississippi, and North Dakota are still too close to call, they reason. And California and Alaska’s returns are too slow coming. There is speculation that Alaska’s returns may not be final until next week. Among the loungers, there is a general consensus that Mississippi will put Carter over the top. 3:07. NBC has just announced that President Ford has just gone to bed, leading this reporter to wonder why he has not done the same. Three loungers do take Ford’s cue, reducing the number of die-hards to five. 3:28. There are now only three of us remaining: a reporter, a known night- stalker, and a guy who has passed out on lobbying— a sofa in the back of the room. 3:31.59. One minute and 59 seconds ago, while the rest of us were watching our umpteenth Union Carbide commercial or tne night, the NBC news team declared Mississippi Carter’s. And, this year at least, as Mississippi goes, so goes the na- tion. The thought of going to bed crossed this reporter’s mind, but he is committed to his story. Likewise, the guy in the back is committed to his couch. The night- stalker thinks nothing of being up this time of night. 3:58. The night stalker departs for places unknown. 4:15. Carter addresses the crowd at his headquarters in Atlanta. 4:45. The guy on the couch rises, asks who won, and shuffles off to bed. 4:50. NBC and its Bicentennial map go off the air. Good-night, David. This reporter, not wanting to miss anything, switches to CBS. 4:55. CBS goes off the air. 5:00. ABC goes off the air. This reporter, now almost awake, decides to write a story on the election until breakfast. ie Electon al —EE 100 The quiet relaxing atmosphere of the Two Bit Rush on a week night makes it a peaceful place for Debbie Rains to catch up on some homework and writing. Whereas Sundays and week nights are calm and relaxing, on weekends the Two Bit Rush is crowd- filled and action-packed. A favorite at the coffeehouse, J. Michael Henderson performs at the Two Bit Rush’s first concert i n early February. A graduate of Burris school, Henderson cut a few original albums and performs on the elec- tric piano as well as guitar. Village Smoke slowly lifted and curled around our faces, blending with the low murmur of voices in the background. Jean-skirted waitresses drifted from table to table tak- ing orders for hot mocha to accompany chess games and philisophical conversa- tions. The cold air outside frosted the small-paned window, sealing in the relax- ing warm atmosphere. Many just sat back and took it all in, their eyes on the lone performer in the corner of the room. The time? Sunday night — around 10 p.m. The performer? Stan Garrison — a regular on Sunday evenings. The place? The Two Bit Rush — a new-world cof- feehouse, with an old-world atmosphere. Actually, the darkly-lit coffeehouse, located in the Village, isn’t very old at all — although the warm coziness, wooden tables and chairs, and a rustic uniqueness make it appear as such. Owned by Bob Tuchmand, the Two Bit Rush has only been in existence for two years. “It's here to give people a chance to get together,’’ explained Tuchmand. “‘It gives them a chance to talk and hear some real- ly good entertainment.” The coffeehouse serves this purpose remarkably. Drawn in by the diversified weekend entertainment as well as the uni- que atmosphere, professors, students, high-schoolers, and community residents gathered daily to unwind, exchange ideas, and simply ‘‘reach out’’ to new faces. Several professors, impressed with the ‘‘philisophical mood,’’ held small- group class discussions over hot mocha and luncheon sandwiches (not to mention the popular bagles served for breakfast!) Weekends were really something special at the coffeehouse. Books and ex- am pressures were totally forgotten as we engaged in lively conversations with new acquaintances or stomped our feet to the rowdy tunes of a bluegrass performer. The laughter-filled haven was usually so crowded on Fridays and Saturdays that newcomers had to wait on the stairs for some of the earlier arrivals to leave. It was fun, relaxing, and truly educational as we came into contact with people of all interests and talents. And talk about talent — the performers who provided the music on weekends really set the mood for the entire evening. One of the favorites was folk singer Barb Bell, who could make us laugh with her crazy antics one minute, and caused our eyes to heavily water with her original ballads the next minute. Carrolsmith, comprised of Dave Carroll, Purdue University and Ball State freshman Steve Smith, was also a crowd RUSTIC Warmth a t = as BOR RUSH favorite. The smooth mellowness and keen insight of their original melodies cap- tured the crowd — a hush fell over the Two Bit Rush as minds wandered in a world of dream lyrics. Not all of the performers were mellow, however. Many a Saturday evening was spent clapping and stomping to the tunes of a singer ‘‘just back from Memphis” or “right out of Nashville!” Dreaminess gave way to fun-filled rowdiness as audience participation became part of the act. For the first time, the Two Bit Rush featured a special performer in a three- night concert. J. Michael Henderson, a graduate of Burris school, popular for two recorded albums, performed to a packed house in early February. Two and a half hours of Michael Henderson were not enough for the enraptured audience — from the amount of applause breaking out after the show, ten hours wouldn't have been enough. Awarm “‘old world’’ atmosphere makes the Two Bit Rush a popular place to “get away’ from school pressures. The darkly-lit coffeehouse serves as a place to unwind as well as to reach out to new faces and ideas. Sunday night was always ‘‘regulars’’ night. Several college-aged peopie living and working in Muncie, dropped in to mingle with the student crowd. Perspec- tives were broadened on both sides as students and non-students became aware of the pressures, pleasures, and dif- ferences of a world apart from their own. We were always in a different world when we entered the Two Bit Rush — and always took along some new thought Or perspective when we left it. It was never considered an escape from reality; but rather, an escape into reality — the reality of the problems of an international student, the hang-ups of a high school senior, the theories of a young philospher. Somehow, ‘‘education”’ never seemed so good... 101 Village VILLAGE Puls), (CiAuiS Affectionately called “Lou” by the college crowd, owner Lou Coulter kept the groups coming to the Pub, and at the same time drew a whole new crowd into the Chug as its new owner. Ball Stater Daphne Gindhart corners him in a free moment. The continuous clicking of his’ typewriter came to a halt at the last word of the ten-page research project came in- to being. He glanced up at the clock, relieved, and suddenly a certain gleam sparked into his eyes. Picking up the telephone, he called a few friends, and was off to the Chug to celebrate the end of another last-minute term paper! A well known haven for between-class breaks, a quick bite to eat, or end-of-the quarter celebration, the Village Pub, and for that matter the Chug as well, offered something the Tally or residence halls could never compete with—the selling of beer and wine. Due to a convenient loca- tion in the Village, however, the two places could never legally sell anything stronger. Owned by Lou Coulter, affectionately known as “‘Lou”’ to the college crowd, the Village Pub and Chug have two entirely different atmospheres. Located at the corner of University and Martin, the Village Pub is capable of serving approximately thirty people, but on busy Wednesday and Thursday nights the dark, old, narrow building is filled to the brim with people hanging out the doorways. The Pub is noted for its two front wooden booths — true ‘‘works of art’ on which creative customers have carved names and Greek symbols to be preserv- ed for future Pub generations. A great hang-out for ‘‘people-watchers,’’ the huge front picture windows provide a unique view of fellow students passing by. For those falling into the ‘‘Pub habit,”’ becoming a regular had distinct ad- vantages of seeing the familiar faces from day to day, meeting crowds from quarter to quarter. Lingering over celebration drinks, depression drinks, contentment drinks, or just plain drinks to satisfy a thirst became a hard habit to fall out of. Down the street at 409 North Martin, the Chug-A-Mug went through a series of changes with Lou as the new owner. A new type of crowd was drawn with the addition of a pool table into a game center which already included air hockey, foosball, and pinball. Business at the Chug didn’t actually start rolling until after lunchtime, as students and professors alike stopped in bite to eat. Tenderloins and burgers are specialities; but the most popular item according to frequent diners are the fried mushrooms. : “Thank God it’s Friday!’’ Crowds ac- cumulated at the Chug regularly on Fridays, celebrating the end of classes and the beginning of weekend parties (about three times the size of the Pub, the Chug usually provided a better at- mosphere for partying in general). Lottery drawings on Wednesdays for pizza were added attractions. Inhabited more by hall residents and off-campus dwellers than the sorority and fraternity members of previous years, the Chug mood often became mellow and conversational. But whatever the mood, crowd, or time, it, along with its partner the Pub, was always a welcome (and close) place for a casual break from the routine. Marsha Casey, Jeff Yoder, and Eric Wohlford enjoy the ‘free and easy’’ Chug atmosphere on a Thurs- day night. Professors seem to prefer the Chug to the Pub; students like it because it is larger than the Pub (all the better for partying!). Jay Nicholson, Mark Miller, and Earl Clevenger drop in at the Village Pub after classes on a lazy after- noon. Only a few minutes away from campus, the Pub is a popular spot to go between classes for a break or in the evenings for rowdy ‘‘unwindings”’ and group get-togethers. po 4a Of As OP -— = ee Ordre wk SALES SERVICE REPAIR Donald McLaughlin, whose mellow style makes him a popular performer at the Two Bit Rush, inspects a guitar shown to him by Stan Garrison.

Outside on the street, people window- shopped and daydreamed in front of the colorful clothes displays of the Collegienne Shops and Sycamore Shops. Some crossed the street to Gindhart’s Sweet Shop purchasing a bag of candy or a chocolate-chip ice cream cone. Others stepped into Pasquale’s for a quick lunch. They were of all sizes and shapes, all areas of interest and talent, yet, they all had one thing in common — they were all Ball State students. Whether it be conversing at the Two Bit Rush on a frosty night, lounging in the Pub on a muggy afternoon, or shopping in the various little gift shops throughout the daytime, Ball State students were the Village’s staunchest customers. | like to think that we are primarily a student store,’’ said Terry Shippy, owner and manager of the Village Kupboard and Kitchen. ‘’That’s why we carry just about everything for the student.”’ After shop- ping at Shippy’s Sporti ng Shoppe, students often dropped in at Shippy’s Village Kitchen for a quick bite to eat, or even as a new atmosphere in which to study. “Snow days were a mad rush,” ex- plained Shippy. ‘‘Students came in and hoarded convenience foods.’’ As the phone range for the umpteenth time, the manager smiled and said, ‘‘What would | do without the students?’’ Perhaps the more appropriate question would be “What would the students do without the Village merchants?”’ Aside from Shippy’s, the Ball Stores Collegienne Shop was a familiar place to many coeds— whether it was to window- shop or to purchase an outfit or special gift. “Students are very important,”’ said Sally Beaty. As manager of the Ball Stores Collegienne Shop, Beaty em- phasized the importance of recognizing student tastes in a college-oriented shop- ping center. “At Ball State the total look of feminini- ty is coming back,’’ Beaty commented, “and | find it very refreshing!’’ She went on to say that jeans were still around, but were a little more tailored than previous styles. Wednesdays were usually crowded times for Village shoppers. After waiting patiently in line at the Student Center for university paychecks, students usually rushed to Merchants National Bank to cash or deposit their check. Avid artists dropped in at the Village Art Supply for class equipment and tools as well as sup- plies for outside hobbies. Those with a lit- tle extra pocket money purchased records at the Strand, or visited several of the gift shops. The Village was considered to be a natural extension of the University itself. Whether it be for entertainment on weekends, or shopping throughout the day, students and merchants felt a mutual need foreach other. 1105 vinceis GRlaca bd Chiaan 0 dae 4 IArougnly modem mixing — Totally relaxed, the young couple stood in line, talking and laughing.

In the cozy restaurant across the street, a cheerful waitress took orders at a table for two. ‘Separate checks?’’ she asked pleasantly. “Certainly,’”’ the two replied in unison.

Have the social rules traditionally governing the Dating-Mating Game changed so drastically in the past few years? The college dating trends certainly point in that direction, and many feel it is a practical turn for the better. Whereas a few years ago, situations in which the girl paid her own way or asked a boy out didn’t commonly exist, today, because of rising movie costs and lowering billfolds, it is often considered to be the norm. “| think the trends are moving the other way,’ said Karen Cedars from Chicago. “| have asked a guy out before and he said he was glad. It depends on the rela- tionship. | think it is open for a girl who just met a guy to call him, but then you never know.” “Dating is moving more toward equali- ty,’ agreed another coed. ‘It’s losing the traditional stereotypes of the guy calling the girl and the girl always getting dressed up.” Freshmen Connie Augsburger and Mark Westerfield find that it is necessary 0 ‘go dutch” in order to date. “Dating is expensive, something not in- cluded in the college budget,’’ explained Mark. “‘It’s not practical to have the guy pay all the time, but | feel funny about it. | like paying; | just can’t.” Connie, on the other hand, feels no qualms about paying or even doing the in- itial asking. ‘| guess it depnds on if you have a traditional view or not,’ she said. “Some people don’t like to call guys. | feel terrific about it; it doesn’t bother mea bit.”’ Robb Webb, 19, Marion, agreed with Connie. “I think the girls’ calling is all right,’’ he said. ‘‘I’m getting tired of being turned down!” Johnson residents Sue Long and Lisa Harris feel that whoever does the asking should also do the paying. “His college expenses are just as high as yours,”’ Lisa pointed out. “| wouldn't argue with her if she like ae al ih a ei a aoe ORE wanted to pay,” said Scott Liggett, : Fort S jigs Wayne.

Each of these students know the most convenient place to go in the above situa- tions. In fact, they will probably inform you that the Ball State Bookstore carries just about everything for just about anything. Services range from selling academic texts to typewriter rental and class ring sales. “'To lump it in a nutshell,’’ said Walter The Essay noc ee Oe . Schaffner, book store manager, ‘our m= i fp y a responsibility is to satisfy the needs of the: student first, faculty. and staff second, and college community third.’’ Managing the store since 1971, Schaffner has total responsibility of bookstore transactions, a job he jokingly says ‘‘encompasses quite a little.”’ “Throughout our rush (the first three days of the quarter), a pretty goood percentage of the student body comes through our doors,”’ Schaffner said. ‘In fact, our customer count estimates 6,000- 7,000 students a day.’’ Ask any Ball Stater and he will say this is not an exag- geration. As long lines wrap through the aisles, even the most patient of per- sonalities becomes frustrated.

According to manager Walter Schaffner, many products are not sold simp- ly because there is no place to display them. art and architecture students to be the store’s ‘‘best sellers.” ‘“Actually, we sell just about everything we carry,” the manager said. ‘During the summer we have excellent business with imprinting our T-shirts because of alll the con- ferences and workshops.” Throughout the year, the store pro- vides a variety of services to “satisfy the needs of the student.’’ Some of these in- clude typewriter rental, graduation cap and gown orders, special orders, a film service, class ring sales, and gift cer- tificates. The store also buys back books for half the original selling price ‘’as long as they could be used for the upcoming quarter,”’ Schaffner says. ‘We'd like to buy back more books, but there just isn’t room on the shelves.”’ Schaffner added that an out-of-town buyer also buys back any books, but ‘‘he won't buy them for half price. He knows the books haven’t sold here, so he takes a risk they'll sell at other schools.” Helping Schaffner out, 30 student employees work three registers, arrange the shelves, and help the customer. “We try to keep the same student employees for a long amount of time,”’ Schaffner explained. ‘‘Many start work- ing here as freshmen and stay until graduation. Once someone learns the ropes, you hate to have to start over with someone else. They really seem to like the work, though.” As manager of a major shopping area, Schaffner shares common problems with stores throughout the country concerning shoplifting. “| hate to even go into it’, Schaffner admitted very seriously. ‘‘It’’s bad, really bad. Students spot crowded registers and just walk out, turn around and look at you, and laugh. It’s not as bad during rush as it is just steady in-between.” Schaffner explained the security is especially tight throughout the rush. “Students also report things being stolen out of the lockers,’’ Schaffner coontinued. ‘All of the locks have been stolen and it’s really a problem knowing what kind of security system to use. We considered a book check system like those used in restaurants, but decided it just wasn’t feasible for this type of setup.” Other than shoplifting headaches, Schaffner says things run pretty smoothly. ‘We could use more space,” he said, thinking of the crowded shelves. “The space seems ample at times, but | hate to see a crowded cluttered look. Students keep asking for things that we'd like to have, but just don’t have room for.” Schaffner had considered the possibili- ty of a new location, possibly more cent- trally located. ‘But here again, it would obviously take a new building, and we're already at a pretty well-established loca- tion in the Student Center.” As the days go by, last-minute shop- pers, Cliff Note seekers, and those with broken typewriters inhabit their most convenient shopping centter--the Ball State Bookstore. And hundreds of im- printed T-shirts are worn...and hundreds of rings ordered, and caps and gowns, and art supplies... Serving the surrounding community as well as BSU students and faculty, the book store is a perfect place for Burris students Brian Smith and Jim Galcher to purchase art supplies. After texts, art supplies and periodicals are the store’s biggest sellers. STAGE NO. |: stepping in i Admission 44 Girne the apron strings’ can be a very dramatic action for the ‘‘average”’ small-town freshman. Coping with a new system of education, meeting a new roommate, and fitting into the social scene present some rather difficult ad- justments. The adjustments do not pertain to only freshmen however. For the hundreds of students who come to Ball State from another country or state, or return to school after a period of years, ‘’adjust- ment’ entails a lot more than facing life without Mom and Dad. For these students, the university tries to provide additional services to make necessary transitions smoother. Complete with lounge area, library, recreation room, kitchen, and offices, the International House is a home away from home for foreign students. The 138 graduate and 56 undergraduate interna- tional students use the house for meetings, prayer sessions, monthly inter- national dinners, and informal ‘‘gab ses- sions.’ Each room is_ distinctively decorated with gifts from foreign coun- tries; a braided rug of President Kennedy hangs over the fireplace. “The house is open everyday until 9 p.m.,’’ said Pat Eckhardt, international studies secretary. ‘‘It’s like their own stu- dent center.” An annual international festival was sponsored by the newcomers, allowing them the opportunity to give American friends a taste of their homeland culture. “It's their turn to give something to the campus,” Gail Olyha, international pro- grams graduate assistant said. She ex- plained that the students set up booths to hold an evening of entertainment, fashions, and dance. Americans are urged to stop by the house whenever possible. ‘’This is an in- ternational house, and Americans should be a part of it,’” stressed Director N. Kirk Robey. To help the foreigners learn about American customs, the _ International House places each new student in a host home for a week before classes start. Aside from living with these ‘‘foster’’ families for awhile, the new students are helped by American students in finding their way around campus and choosing classes. Bountourazlon Lazonos, of Athens, Greece, only knew three people from Ball State before coming to America. He found the host program and the American students in general to be quite helpful. “| like the students from the point of view as being friendly,’’ he stated, ‘‘but maybe they do not know as much as they should.”’ Bountourazlon feels that educa- tional requirements are much harder in Greece than here. He likes the opportuni- ty to choose between a greater variety of general studies however. “| came here to get a better education and to try to face life on my own,” he ex- plained. A student doesn’t have to come from another country to experience common trials of adjustment. Often teased about their ‘‘funny accents,’ out-of-state students adapt to more than higher tui- aon fees. “! had to get used to the stereotype of the ‘big city girl,’ said Kathy Cox of Massapequa, New York. Kathy came to Ball State on the recommendation of a guidance counselor concerning the nurs- ing program. ‘‘The accents and expres- sions didn’t take long to get used to.”’ Kathy went on to say that homesickness especially struck during Parents’ Weekends within the residence halls. ‘| was really glad | went to school out of state though,” she stated. ‘‘It’s good to know that you can just start fresh. Participating in things like Watermelon Bust helped me to meet new friends.” Freshman Allison Maillaid, Union City, New Jersey, feels that the people she has met here are much more friendly and religion-oriented than those living in the eastern states. So far, she has never got- ten homesick and likes having ‘‘to do everything by myself.’’ “It is a big advantage to go to school in another state,’’ Allison said. ‘‘It forces you to become responsible and indepen- dent by making your own decisions.” Allison decided to travel the 800 miles to Ball State because of the anthropology department. Perhaps the most diverse milieu of “newcoming students’ remains almost hidden and camouflaged within the col- lege community. Unlike international students or out-of-staters, the older stu- dent is not distinguished by accent or area customs. Adjustment often involved compromises in lifestyle. After having spoken with several veterans returning to school after a period of years, junior Warren Distler feels that the veterans are heard more than they're actually seen. “With many lobbying groups _ in Washington and the huge bureaucracy called the Veterans Administration, the complaints and grievances are often heard,’’ he commented. Warren feels that the most perplexing problem for the veterans as a whole is their national unemployment rate—14 per cent higher than the national average. “The veteran that is returning to socie- ty has absolutely nothing to look forward to,” Warren pointed out. ‘’Consider the plight of a typical ‘Joe’ who has just been returned to society after four years in the Army. The Army taught him what they say is a good trade, but it is almost im- possible to find gainful employment as a flame-thrower in what the government refers to as the private sector.” “Again,’’ Warren continued, ‘Imagine this ad appearing in any metropolitan newspaper: ‘‘Wanted—Position as tailgunner; have four years experience with fourmount 20-millimeter machine guns and four barrelled 20-millimeter rapid fire cannons...’ This is why many veterans who cannot find employment, turn to college as the answer to their pro- blems.” Mark DiFabio, junior from West Lafayette, was drafted in 1971 while at- Visitors from Rockport, Indiana, Judy Lindamood and Teresa Whillhite stop at the Undergraduate Admssions Office to select brochures and ask ques- tions concerning the university. Admission hassles include counselor appointments, registration fees, last-minute scheduling, closed classes, approved free-time forms, and a multitude of other tangles especially frustrating to a new freshman. Junior Steve Thees and sophomore Mar- tin Meltzer figure out schedules for the upcoming quarter. tending Vincennes University. The veteran joked about his situaton by abruptly stating that he was ‘‘commis- sioned as Major Malfunction and discharged as General Disorder.”’ Ending his stint in the service as a chaplain’s aid, Mark now uses what he earned in the army by working for the Newman Center as the coordinator of Masses. Concerning what he _ really thought about his two year mandatory stint, all Mark will say is ‘It was a real experience...” Whether it be the international student, the out-of-stater, the veteran, older stu- dent, or even the “‘average”’ freshman, the newly admitted student faces a varie- ty of adjustments that the ‘old-timers’ can help to dispel. Perhaps the motto hanging over the fir eplace within the In- ternational House says it the best: ‘Peace through education to understanding...’ Admission Brad Barnhart finds himself in a decision-making phase. “I’m at the point of many decisions in my life,’ he said. ‘’I think this is just a beginning.”’ Sophomore Dab Hatter feels that it isn’t easy to be in the middle of the crossroads. ‘I’m really confus- ed,”’ she stated. ‘I’m in my sophomore slump, but there’s still hope.” Concerned about his possibilities in the future job market, Mark Downham, sophomore, finds it necessary to study diligently. ‘’The job opportunities in my field of accounting are really tough,’ he said. “For accounting, you must have good grades.” For some students, money appears to be the key to takes precedence over interest. ‘My major is boring to me, but it is where the money is,” he said. 118 Midway a successful future. To freshman Tim Hanson, it Ow: STAGE NO. 2 standing still ——— It's generally said that most incoming freshmen are a bit wet behind the ears and have little idea where they are going. Hopefully, by the time those students are seniors, any problems they might have experienced are taken care of and they're ready to tackle the job market or graduate school. The years in between, the sophomore and junior years, are formulative ones for most Ball State students. During that time, they either develop ideas for their future, make changes in an already plot- ted course of study, or reinforce the plans that came to the university with them. Barb Shera, 20, is a sophomore from Laurel. She is majoring in political science with a journalism minor. For her, Ball State helped in the development of plans. “When | came here, | was undecided as far as a major goes,” she said. “’| took a class in political science and the prof was so good | knew that’s what | wanted. | had to work harder in that class than I’ve ever worked before just to get a ‘B’, though.” ‘I've gotten more of an idea what |’m going to do now,” she continued, ‘’but my major in political science and my minor in journalism gives me_ three choices. | can either go into politics or journalism or teaching in one of the areas. 'd like to work in some form of govern- ment, probably in the legislative part. I'd probably like to work as an assistant of some sort, maybe as a press secretary. Then I'd like to teach later on.” “Sue Halsey, 20, is a junior from In- dianapolis, majoring in elementary educa- tion. Her story is somewhat different because she knew exactly what she wanted when she arrived at Ball State, and has not changed. ‘I'm going to teach in the primary grades and hopefully get married,’’ she said ‘‘Teaching is not something that | had to come up here to decide. It’s something that | always wanted to do. | had always wanted to come to Ball State so | came to college knowing pretty much what | wanted.” Sue thinks of marriage as an important step in her life but not as one that will hold her back. “I don’t think that marriage will interfere in any way with my career. My career is too important to me. If | did think so, | would probably wait awhile.’’ Ten- tative plans now call for her wedding to be held next spring. Involved in a number of campus ac- tivities, Sue feels the Student Voluntary Services, Admissions Coordinating Team and Student Orientation Corps have helped her to know exactly what direction her life should go. ‘“Some of the acti vities tie in with my major and the other ones have taught me how to communicate with people | don’t know and how to pre- sent myself.”’ Ed Fisher, 20, is a sophomore from Monroe and a pre-dental preparation ma- jor. He, too, has had his preliminary ideas reinforced through his first two years at Ball State. “When | first came to Ball State, | had in mind that | wanted to be a dentist and | figured the first two years here would be the deciding factor, if | would pursue den- tistry or change my major. A lot of people change, but | feel that the first two years have shown | should continue.” “I've been tempted to change a few times but | have stuck with my decision and I’m glad | did. It’s definitely not been a snap decision,’’ he continued. “’! feel like I've looked at nearly every alternative. | have to carry a second major along with pre-dentistry. In case entrance into dental school is ever denied, I'll have something to fall back on. I’ve picked up a second major in medical technology.” Charles Garrett, 21, is a junior from In- dianapolis who has experienced some radical changes in his program since star- ting college. Charles began his university level career at Purdue, majoring in engineering. He is now majoring in radio and television at Ball State. The transfer student said his decision to change majors was “‘pretty much a snap decision. It was almost an accident. My first ambition was engineering but it really wasn’t appealing to me.” “Dave Smith, who was program direc- tor at WISH-TV in Indianapolis, had a program called ‘When Movies Were Movies,’ ’’ Charles continued. ‘‘] used to watch him on that all the time. | enjoyed his telecast so much that he kept my in- terest in radio and television going strong. When | heard that he was coming to Ball State to teach, | knew that’s where | wanted to go.” “At this moment, | do have a plan of where | would like to be,’’ he pointed out. “After college | would like to work at the Center for Instructional Radio and Televi- sion in Indianapolis.”’ Lydia Quattrin, 20, is a sophomore from Hammond, majoring in special education. “I know what I'd like to do,”’ she said. ‘| want to teach mentally retarded kids, pro- bably in a big city high school. I’m pretty sure of that.”’ “| wasn’t positive, but | had a pretty good idea when | came here,”’ she con- tinued. ‘‘Then, going through classes and doing volunteer work made me more definite on what | wanted to do. | had always wanted to be a teacher, even when | was real little, and it just stuck with me.” “At first | thought | wanted to get into special education because the teaching field is so closed. But now it’s because it will be such a challenge. When you get them (the students) to do something, you feel so good inside.”’ Duane Wass, 20, is a sophomore from Monroeville, majoring in speech pathology. ‘’I think right now I’m still tak- ing the basic courses,” he said. ‘’Starting next fall, when | begin my first clinic, when we start working with children — that will really show me if | want to stay in speech pathology — if | like that kind of life or not.”’ “Right now, all | can say is that | like it so far,’’ he continued. ‘‘I’m really at the point where I’m not worried about finan- cial things. I’m willing to scratch it out for a few years and then maybe go into business later. Right now I’m hooked on trying to help people. | don’t have to stay in teaching. You have to get your masters within five years. Then | could work in clinics with people who have had strokes or something. Maybe that would be more rewarding financially. The field is wide open right now.” 119 Midway STAGE NO. 3: Stepping ou Preparing to uproot himself from Ball State, senior Mike Briggs reviews job opportunity material in the placement office. For Mike and more than 4,000 other BSU graduates, a step into the real world does not come easy. Well groomed and “‘slicked up” seniors Bill Meisner and Brad Scherer glance at a job interview list while waiting their turn for an interview. Placement secretary Paula Gillespie assists seniors and inter- viewers in making the transition from college into a job more easy. Graduating Pete Garvey, prepared for his post-college years discusses a possible job with Bruce Gubdel of Crowe Chizek and Company. The major transition between college and an actual job usually begins in the place- = ment office. 4 4 I'm ready to get out,”’ said Nancy Sugden emphatically. ‘Ball State has given me as much as it can; I’m ready to go.”’ A musical performance major from Cherry Hill, New Jersey, Nancy is one of over 4000 students taking the ‘big step” from college living into the ‘‘real world.” Indeed, leaving an entire lifestyle behind appeared wildly exciting to some, anx- iously frightening to others, and a little bit of both to most. According to the office of admissions, 2,578 students will have graduated with bachelors degrees, 1,512 with masters degrees, and 116 with associate degrees. Added to this figure, 11 are leaving with ‘specialist degrees and 49 with doctorates. Some of the 4,225 are positive they “want out,” others “‘definitely want to stay,’’ and hundreds have ‘mixed emo- tions.”’ “I’m pretty common of most seniors,”’ said Keith Fabing, a senior from Valparaiso. ‘‘I’m ready for a change of lifestyle, a new direction, a whole new world: and yet, all my closest friends are here. It's kind of hard to uproot myself and break all the ties.” Majoring in both biology and natural resources, Keith hopes to become a pro- perty manager for the state department. He especially enjoyed Dr. Barber's violence class, and felt that a personal finance class especially aided him because it was ‘practical learning.”’ “The dorm life really caused me to grow and learn about myself,’’ Keith add- ed. ‘The social life was a lot of pressure at times, but dealing with pressure taught me how to cope.” Senior Kevin Watts holds mixed emo- tions concerning his graduation. Receiv- ing his bachelor of science degree for geology in May, Kevin says, ‘‘I’m looking forward to it, but there’s still a bit of ap- prehension involved in my actually getting out and facing the world.” Planning to attend graduate school at the University of Wyoming to obtain a masters degree in petroleum engineering, Kevin feels that he gained more than merely a degree from Ball State. “During my four years here,’’ he said, “| became a good deal more studious and a lot more responsible. | also seem to take a greater interest in listening to what peo- ple are trying to say.”’ Being excited about the move from col- lege to the job market is one thing, but being actually prepared for the transition is sometimes another. Nancy Sugden feels that her music courses were very educational and thorough, but that the general studies were merely a ‘‘waste of time.” Risa Bickel, an associate degree can- didate from Peru, Indiana, termed her department (secretarial) as ‘‘adequate.”’ One criticism, though, was her feeling of being “rushed.” “| feel that the program should be longer than two years,”’ she said. “I didn’t get a chance to take all the courses | would have liked to take.”’ “Graduation is a mixture of happy and sad,’’ Risa continued. ‘I'll be glad to get out, but once I’ve done so, | know |'ll miss it. Because of my college experiences, | think I’ve transformed from somewhat of an introvert to an extrovert. I’m no longer afraid to speak up.” From their diversified experiences, students cited several good and bad points about the university itself. Kevin Watts listed personalized instruction among Ball State’s good points and the lack of placement help ‘for areas other than teaching and accounting’’ among the bad points. According to Indianapolis senior Steve Herman, ‘‘dorm life was the best part of Ball State.’’ Majoring in marketing, Steve considered the residence hall the place ‘where | learned the most and gained the most through personal friendships and experiences.’ He feels that students should become involved early in both their respective halls and in intramural sports events. “Students should make sure they make the most of their four years down here,”’ Kevin Watts concluded. ‘’The time really goes by very quickly...” Almost secluded from the campus behind Christy Woods, the placement office provided a meeting place for graduating seniors and prospective employers.

Students were called up according to degree level with thier name being announced as they crossed the “stage.” Usually teaming with frolicking activity and late-afternoon loiterers, the Arts Ter- race was now the scene of solemn ceremony, an occasion for rich tradition. On a sultry May 21, hundreds of black- robed graduates reached a midpoint standstill—the end of years of basic preparation, the beginning of years of ac- tive participation. The occasion started with an assembly, a group marching, from Emens Auditorium, through the scramble light, to the familiar Arts Terrace.. Seated at the top of the sculptured steps, the respected Board of Trustees, President John Pruis, and a variety of ad- ministrators and recognized guests, overlooked the student crowd, waiting with speeches and closing comments. Directed by Roger McConnell, the sym- phony band opened the ceremonies with a special concert including melodies such as ‘American Overture,’’ ‘‘March of the Steelmen,” “’Feelings,’’ and ‘’Stars and Stripes Forever ,’’ Bringing about the stark reality of the traditional ceremony, the “Pomp and Circumstance” processional called atteention to the participating in- dividuals. Each name was individually announc- ed, each student shook hands with President Pruis. And on the stilled Arts Terrace, frisbees suddenly broke loose for the last time, as architecture students celebrated by tossing colorful discs into the wind. Standing in the sweltering heat of the surrounding grounds, family members and friends watched as each graduate was. individually recognized. Solemnly shaking the president’s hand, receiving the much-awaited sheepskkin, one graduate casually stepped to the microphone, delivering a_ personal message: ‘’Thanks Mom and Dad!” Following the laughter-filled respite, an aura of stillness swept the Terrrace and a meshing and mixed emotions saturated the stanzas of Ball State’s “Alma Mater.”’ The playing of “’Triumphal March from Aida’’ as the recessional song signaled the end of the symbolic ceremonies, but only the beginning of anewera. As the thermometer climbs, so does the heavy black robe when this coed finds that shorts and a light summer top are a cool way to withstand the humid ceremony.

Rose Anderson, sophomore from Rensselaer: speads hours prepar ing for moments of performance Ges ’ ‘ Change is what makes the world go ‘round. Change made a positive impact on the United States when women were first allowed to cast ballots in all elections. Change made a positive impact on the world when women were first allowed to enter establishments that specialized in distributing the ‘demon rum” for the sole purpose of ordering up a shot of “‘redeye.’’ Now change, again is making positive strides toward bringing a woman into a “man’s world. Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 was created to establish guidelines with which the opera- tion of athletic programs of high schools and colleges show no preferential treatment toward either the male or female gender. In other words, are we getting back to separate but equal: Could this be termed as a remake of the historic Plessy vs. Ferguson decision? Did there have to be a Constitutional Amendment to make women equal to men? These much belabored questions are be ing tossed around in beauty parlors and gymnasiums all across the country. If one was to stick around the ground floor of University Gym here at Ball State long enough, he would be sure to hear at least a mumble or two concerning Title IX. The tensions now concerning the initial wave of Title IX regulations have subsided somewhat and the shock is over. Ball State’s men’s and women’s Physical Education and Athletics Departments began a self-evaluation committee in 1975 to study inadequacies of the two departments and submit data to a Congressional bureau. The evaluation pointed out aspects of the Ball State programs that were lacking in com- pliance to the legislation and made suggestions on improvement. Since the original study, similar evaluations have been conducted and action has been taken. Lengthened practice schedules; better equipment, both for practices and games; increased use of men’s facilities: and higher travel allowances have all been offshoots of the Title IX in the women’s program at Ball State. One of the most drastic measures covered by Title IX and to be implemented in the 1977-78 Ball State women’s program deals with the distribution of athletic grant- in-aids. In their first year of existence on the Cardinal campus, the grants will be given to athletes already participating on the team. This procedure will be utilzied because the limited coaching staffs do not permit adequate scouting and pre-collegiate investigation. Even though the legislation has forced the changes and upgrading of the women’s pro- gram, it is still the people who made it work that should be lauded for their work on this subject. Dr. John Reno, Chairman of the School of Physical Education and Athletics and Eileen Kenner, Director of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women, have at tempted to provide an equal opportunity for men and women at this university to extend themselves both physically and mentally through intercollegiate athletics. They have enlisted their help and there is still much to be done. Why did it take so long for people to realize that women, just as men, love com petition and the thrill of athletic endeavors? Some can rationalize by saying, ‘‘How many times have the women drawn over two thousand people for any one sporting event?” But, if Ball State’s women’s basketball team were to play a preliminary game before the men’s varsity game some evening, who knows what would happen? One thousand interested people, true hardcourt fans, would probably show up along with another thousand who would Curiously come out to see what it is all about. What a great doubleheader that would be. Let's have some men-women sport double headers and let’s make women’s athletics more visible to the public. It’s beginning to be a big-time operation and it’s making news; it’s up to Ball State Universi- ty to market this news. As the old addage goes, “You've come a long way, baby.’’ That exemplifies the plight of women’s intercollegiate athletics, and as another addages goes, ‘‘the sky’s the limit.” “It takes a lot out of you physically and emotionally, especially work- ing with crowds...they scare you to death.’’ — John Wilmore Sinking support; soaring spirits Solid bleachers are no longer shak- ing under the shoes of screaming fans and the only evident hysteria is two hours west and four hours southwest. Or...did a Mid-American Conference (MAC) football victory revive the spirit? It is a debatable question—ask the coed whose body got passed up from the Johnson Kazoo Club to near the MAC pennants? Ask the screaming fraternity brother of Charlie Cardinal? Or ask, John Wilmore, football cheerleader? “I'm going to try out for cheerleader again,’’ stated John. “It is the type of thing | like, and it has made me a stronger person emotionally.” Ball State had 12 cheerleaders to pro- mote spirit within the student body. Deb Shaffer was captain of the football squad and the captain of the basketball squad was Gary Roberts. John reported this was the first year there were separate squads for football and basketball. Football cheerleaders don’t necessarily try out for basketball; they may be student teaching, not atten- ding the next quarter, or just plain tired of cheerleading. John continued, ‘‘It takes a lot out of you physically and emotionally, especially working with crowds...they can scare you to death.” This was also the first year freshmen were allowed to try out. Director Judy Abrahamson commented, ‘This worked Out very well and will be continued.”’ 12 heerleaders Cheerleading is not all the fun and games it may seem. Most people still have the concept of a blonde sphinx combina- tion Ginger Grant and Mati Hari cheerleader, when in reality both males and females comprise the squad. Despite the rewards most cheerleaders will tell you about, there is an ungodly amount of time and work spent on perfec- ting routines and formations. ‘‘We work at least four hours per week plus giving up week-ends,”’ said John. ‘We also get together two hours before a game or the day before to work on rountines.’”’ Foot- ball cheerleaders go to cheerleading camp, but basketball cheerleaders do not. Like them or not, cheerleaders spent time putting effot into something they believe in and stick with it, even in muddy rain slickers on a cold November Satur- day. At away games, they do the same cheers as they would at home games. At one of the away games, only two Ball State fans showed up. “‘It gives you a l onesome feeling,’’ John stated, ‘But you have to take the bad with the good.” Adding color and spirit to basketball and football games were Ball State’s 20 pompon girls. Ruth Wilkinson and Diana Droeger served as captains. They per- formed at half-time during Cardinal home games and at Miami University, under the direction of Judy Abrahamson. 4 Cardinal cheerleader LaVon Boyd works to generate school spirit through the fans during half-time of a Cardinal basketball game. Unlike the football squad, spirit-leaders for the basketball team did not attend any cheerleader workshops. Deb Shaffer leads a cheer to tire up the student crowd during half-time a Ball State Cardinal football game. Although crowds were often sparse at away games, the Saturday-afternoon home games were packed with avid spectators and weekend partiers. As individual residence halls and organizations vied for the Homecoming Spirit Stick, the regular cheerleaders provided some spirited antics of their Own. Pompon member Patty Peach is passed through the bleachers, adding to the fun and rowdiness of the afternoon game.

The young Cards secondary was plagued with porousness as they finished ninth in passing defense in the Mid-American Conference. Dazed senior signal caller Art Yaroch receives a helping hand or two from trainers Don Voge -gesang (right) and Jack Mansfield. Yaroch served as captain of the 1976 Cards while winning the MVP and Most Inspirational Offensive Player Awards. BIG MAC continued McClain himself was probably the most important factor in the Cardinal road to success. Sportswriters said that Ball State had more good football players than the school had seen in a long time, and it was McClain who shaped them into win- ners. Coming from Ohio State six years ago, the genial mentor has posted 37 vic- tories against 23 losses and three ties. Going into the 1976 season, the Car- dinals owned a seven-game winning streak, but McClain knew that, because of the team’s youthfulness and the caliber of the competition, the first two games of the schedule would be critical. Lousiana Tech, the Cards’ first oppo- nent, came to Muncie boasting only six losses in its last 58 outings. Ball State made it seven in 59 with an impressive 41- 28 victory. Yaroch showed why he was the MAC's top quarterback by passing for 148 yards and running for three touchdowns. Sophomore split end Rick Morrison, the eventual MAC pass receiv- ing leader, snared seven Yaroch passes for 100 yards. The Cards then went on the road for four straight games, with the first a key encounter against Miami in Oxford, Ohio. The Redskins, defending MAC cham- pions, hadn't lost a league game since 1972, but were already 0-2 when they met Ball State. A 17-yard run by Taylor in the second quarter gave the Cardinals an ear- ly lead they never relinquished. Freshman quarterback Dave Wilson hit tight end Tom Broderick on a surprise fake field goal play, specialist Jim Neddeff kicked a field goal, and Yaroch added insurance with an eight-yard run for the final, 23-6. Pass defense delivered the 27-14 win over Toledo, the Cards’ second MAC op- ponent. Maurice “Hawk” Harvey, whom McClain considers in the same class as Shafer Suggs, picked off a Toledo pass and streaked 53 yards for one __ touchdown, and cornerback Jeff Hilles in- tercepted another to set up the third - score. Yaroch’s one-yard sneaks provided the Card's first and last scores. MAC Champions, 1976.” With the streak now at 10, the Toledo game marked the start of Ball State’s of- fensive problems. After a weak per- formance against Dayton, in which the Cards needed a _ come-from-behind touchdown with nine minutes to go for a 20-13 squeaker, McClain became worried. “| just don’t understand why our of- fense wasn’t as sharp as it should have been,” he complained after the game. ‘But we did put it in the end zone when we needed it.’’ A bright spot in the contest was the ex- cellent punting of freshman kicker Mark O’Connell. O'Connell booted the ball eight times for 408 yards and an average of 51 yards. The 6-2, 185-pounder finish- ed as the conference leader with a 41.4 punting average. Other than O’Connell, the game was a sad affair. ‘“‘We have now played two poor games in a row and gotten away with it. I'll have to look at the game films to be certain of what's the matter,”” Mc- Clain lamented. The Cardinals went on to play still another poor game the following week, only this time they didn’t get away with it. A 10-7 loss to underdog Illinois State meant good-bye to the winning streak and the national attention that came with it, good-bye to hopes for an unbeaten season. Hampered by a bad leg, Yaroch was all but devoid of the magic that had rescued the Cards in previous outings. His passes were hurried and off-target, his outside running game was shut down completely, and his backfield help was, at best, spotty. The defense, however, was tough, allowing Illinois State only 78 yards total offense in the second half. For homecoming action against Akron, a team thén tied for fifth in the NCAA Division II rankings, the Cards returned to Muncie.

Fumbles were the main adversary of the contest against Western Michigan, although the dynamic running of the Broncos’ Jerome Persell didn’t help the Cardinal cause.

Neddeff,, inconsistent earlier in the year, booted a single-game record of seven extra points. He also added a 36- yard field gooal. In addition, the team set a season total offense mark of 3,892 yards with the 514 they piled up against Easternn Michigan. The 22 rushing first-downs in the game gave the Cards a record of 145 for the year.

They all gave us the leadership we needed when the chips were down.” Shondell cited Ramon Avila for his work with the junior varsity team in the coaching capacity. Because of the switch to international rules, the number of substitutions was limited. Avila, a backcourt specialist, was the hardest hit. The need for the players who could play both the frontline and backcourt caused Avila’s choice to serve the team in a coaching capacity. “It was difficult to ask Ray not to play,”’ insisted Shondell, the owner of 291-56-1 career coaching record. ‘‘He wanted to help the team in the best way he could — that happened to be coaching. He did a great job with our youngsters.

Top freshman additions to the 1976 squad are Dave Kelley and Kelly Marsh from Muncie North High School, David Kemps of Hart- ford City, and John Terrio from South Bend LaSalle High School. With head coach Jerry Rushton at the helm and senior co-captains Jim Needler and Jeff Shoemaker leading the way, the Big Red Ship set a course for the first meet with Central Michigan. The home opener took place on September 11 with Ball State taking the event by a score of 22—37. The win was especially important with the Cardinal harriers placing seven men in the top ten spots including an eighth place finish by freshman John Ter- rio. Jeff Shoemaker took the top spot in the meet with Jim Neelder and Brian Crosley coming through the gate together for a third place tie. This set the stage for Ball State’s next meet, a three-way affair with Western Michigan and Purdue University at Western Michigan.

This proved to be a literal runaway with BSU running placing first, third, fourth, fifth, seventh, and eighth. Jeff Shoemaker took medalist honors again with the Cardinals breezing to a 20—38 victory. Coach Rushton and his boys came home for their next meet against a sur- prising Northern Illinois team. Jeff Shoemaker was sidelined for this meet and it definitely hurt the final outcome. Even though five of the top ten spots belonged to Cardinal runners, the Huskies took second, third, fourth, fifth, and tenth place. Jim Needler got his only first place finish of the season, but the host harriers lost the meet 24—31. Ball State’s next competition was the Notre Dame Invitational in South Bend. Out of the 39 teams entering the competi- tion, the Cardinal team finished fourth behind Wisconsin, Edinboro, and Michigan. Ball State placed three men in the top twenty with steady Jeff Shoemaker finishing fourth, Jim Needler eleventh, and Brian Crosley seventeenth. Coach Rushton’s team was given a boost in that they defeated every MAC school that was entered with their closest com- petition coming from Bowling Green University who finished just four points behind the hurryin’ Cardinal harriers. The final dual meet of the season was with Eastern Michigan here at BSU. EMU, another top contender for the MAC title, gave the Cardrunners their toughest fight of the ‘76 campaign. Ball State plac- ed six men in the top ten which proved to be the deciding factor as they edged the Hurons by a score of 27—29. Top finishers for the Cards were Jeff Shoemaker first, Jim Needler fourth, Brian Crosley fifth, Brian Powell eighth, freshman hopeful Dave Kelley ninth, and Tim Grant tenth. The final meet before the MAC Cham- pionships, the Indiana Intercollegiate, was the next stop for the Ball Staters. The Cards finished a solid second in the 17- team field, 23 points behind host school drowned as Most Valuable Player Jeft Shoemaker was forced to run the race with a seriously blistered foot. Coach Jerry Rushton’s pre-season statement, “Injury is the only thing that could put a damper on the season,” proved to be the understatement of the year as Shoemaker could finish no better than 32nd. Ball State’s top finisher was senior Brian Crosley who finished in seventh position. Jim Needler followed Crosley in eighth postion and David Kelley surprised a lot of people by fnishing 13th in a tough MAC field. The Cardinal harriers fell 14 points short of the title and finished in a tie for third place with Eastern Michigan.

But once we started playing we were able to decide where each player could best help us.’” — Coach Jerre McManama Regained footing ls the greatest reward in sports is to win, soccer coach Jerre McManama had a rewarding season last fall. His team finished 8-3, and in the process tied the school winning streak record of seven straight victories. And if the second greatest reward is to work with talented players, count McManama in on that, too. Three of his graduating seniors lettered all four years in soccer, and of that trio, Achim Seifert holds the Ball State record for career assists, while defensive back Herman Ruhlig was an All-American can- didate. The third, Will Florin, capped his final year as the team’s leading goal scorer and was named ‘Most Outstan- ding Forward” in the Indiana East-West All-Star game. Actually, the season did not begin as optimistically as it may seem. With 11 returning lettermen, McManama was ex- pected to have the nucleus to better the preceding year’s 8-2 ledger. But though the offense appeared explosive, the defense lost the services of goalie Eduar- do Arteaga, a fifth-year architecture stu- dent who became ineligible after four seasons of play. Arteaga’s replacements, sophomore Kevin Cecil and freshman Alan Chalem, had seen little or no previous college action. Both the offense and the defense had problems in the opening match against an experienced Wabash team. The Little Giants were playing their fifth game while it was the Cardinals’ first. McManama felt that had the two squads met later in the year, the Cardinals would have won by a score of 4-1. Instead, a lone second-half goal by Wabash’s John Ball snapped a 3- 3 tie and left Ball State with a 4-3 loss at home. Mony Antoun, Milorad Stojic, and Brian Lang provided the Cardinal goals. Three days later the soccer team travel- ed to Lafayette for the State Universities Tournament featuring Indiana University, Indiana State, and host Purdue. Their first round opponent was the Hoosiers, a highly regarded Midwest power eventual- ly finishing as national collegiate runner- up to champion San Francisco. Although the Cardinals lost 6-0, McManama’s spirits did not dim. “We played very well, really,” the coach said following the match. “It was a close game, much closer than the score indicated.” The Cardinals only trailed 2-0 going into Soccer Team.

The coach graduated from Ball State and has been assistant coach for two years, and head soccer coach for the past six years. This is the Cardinals’ fourth straight winning season. It was at this time the Cardinals got the break they needed —a ten-day break, that is. During the week and a half layoff in the schedule, McManama rearranged his defense, which had conceded 13 goals in three matches. He moved sophomores Gary Usinger and Steve Livingston into back positions. Usinger’s ball checking and Livingston’s height furnished the ability the team needed in upcoming mat- ches. “The team was so evenly talented,’’ the sixth-year coach explained, ‘‘that it was difficult to establish positions before the season. But once we started playing we were able to decide where each player could best help us.”’ The effects did not come early. It took a hard, cannon shot by forward Tom Bar- wise to give the Cardinals their 1-0 deci- sion over DePauw. Barwise, who ac- cording to McManama, possessed the squad’s most powerful kick, became the clutch man for the Cardinals numerous times the rest of the season. Two more one-goal victories over Ohio University and Miami of Ohio started the Cardinals’ confidence rolling, and by game number seven everything culminated. The match was_ against Evansville; the defense did not allow the Aces a single shot at the goal. The feat, comparable to a no-hitter in baseball, was a first in the history of Ball State soccer. “It was also the first time we were able to see what kind of team we had ex- cluding the elements,”” head mentor | Soccer Regained footing continued McManama remarked. “By elements, | mean the mud, wind, and rain we played in during the last three weeks.” “You know,’’ McManama continued, “some of those games that we won by only one goal were against teams that | think we could have beaten worse if we had played in better conditions. The elements tend to even things out.” While weather continued to plague the Cardinals most of the year, the next match offered two additional ‘‘elements”’ that Ball State had not confronted— astro-turf and lights. The 4-2 victory over the University of Cincinnati was a night game that handed the kickers their sixth consecutive win. Will Florin conquered the artificial surface with his third goal in two games. Mike Stojic and foreign transfer student Hans Gerritsen also scored for the Cardinals. Indiana Tech, where McManama began his soccer coaching career, was Ball State’s seventh and final victory in the record-tying string. The Cardinals registered four goals in the second half to take a 4-0 triumph, but the head coach was not entirely pleased. “We were a little spotty. | thought we could have scored four goals in the first half if we would have taken advantage of our shot opportunities,’’ the coach remarked. McManama’s premonitions proved true in the last home match when Dayton, led by the two goals of All-American Bob Rohrback, humiliated the Cardinals 5-0 during one of the Muncie’s famous mon- soons. Rain drizzled throughout the early part of the game and a windy cold made the afternoon uncomfortable for a sparse crowd watching one of the team’s poorer performances. The defeat also soured the farewell home appearance of the five senior lettermen —Will Florin, Herman Ruhlig, Achim Seifer, David Martin, and Dave Hoover. The season concluded with a thrilling match against Morehead State in Morehead, Kentucky. With the score deadlocked 1-1, and the game in over- time, Milorad Stojic beat the goalie to the ball in the Morehead zone. A pass over the middle to Florin glanced off his foot, but Barwise gained control and, with a sweeping kick, drilled the ball into the cor- ner of the net. The jubilant Cardinals were again the winners, and the season an 8-3 success. And once more coach Jerre McManama had been rewarded. Milorad Stojic drives the ball down the field to score the first goal of the Wabash game. Standing in the background is tri-captain Herman Ruhlig.

Antoun made the Indiana Intercollegiate Athletic Association's (IAA) second team as a forward, and left-wing Barwise was considered one of the Cardinals’ top scorers. {149 Soccer “We were not quick at all. If there was anything this program needed, it was quickness.’” — Coach Jim Holstein Surrounded by setbacks Not in recent memory has a season had such odd twists and turns— both on and off the court — as this season did for the Cardinals. By the final game, spec- tators had seen: — a team which was optimistically predicted by the media to finish with a better than .500 record and a fifth place spot in the Mid-American Conference (MAC) instead repeat the previous year’s 11-14 mark and conclude sixth in: the MAC; — play so inconsistent that the Car- dinals could not put together a winning string of more than two games; — one exciting upset over a Big Ten university and a near defeat of the even- tual conference champion; — the quitting of two players because they said they lacked playing time; — the resignation of the Cardinal head coach. Of all the unforeseen occurrences, perhaps the most significant was five-year mentor Jim Holstein’s letter of resignation (effective at season end) on February 9, 1977. Faced with mounting criticism from fans and disagreements over the pro- gram’s_ direction from his _ athletic superiors, Holstein stepped down with a career record of 55 wins, 70 losses. Less than a month later, he was replaced by assistant coach Steve Yoder. In all, Hostein guided his club to a year that could not be considered outstanding, but it was not especially deplorable. ‘‘It’s obvious we’d like to win more ball games,” he admitted. ‘’! think now that the season is over we can look back and say maybe we felt we were going to be a little better than we really were.”’ Indeed, pre-season pundits expected more from Holstein’s cagers than they received. But the Cardinals were a young team, starting three sophomores and two juniors most of the year, Holstein said, and _in- consistency comes with young talent. Moreover, the Mid-American Conference was much tougher than first imagined. The main weakness of the Cardinals, Holstein said, was lack of quickness. ‘‘We were not quick at all.

Pete Irvin was as close to be- ing a quick basketball player as we had.” He added that it was difficult to get the “great players’’ to come to the university because they go ‘‘where the money is,”’ but the addition of two or three quick players would have brought out the best in the rest of the squad. The Cardinals looked as though they were giving their best in the season opener, although they lost by the score of 86-70 to the University of Maryland. Ranked sixteenth in the country at the time, the Terps had dropped their initial game by one point to Notre Dame, and thus were hungry for a win. They got it, but the Cardinals hung close for 35 of the 40 minutes before foul problems claimed three starters. Back-up center Pete Kuz- ma was also forced to leave the game in the waning moments after twisting an ankle. Because the team had given the highly- rated Maryland squad a run for their money, high hopes were expressed by Ball State fans. But Holstein later reflected, “They (Maryland) did not challenge us. They had a young ballclub, very basic in offense, and that was the reason we stayed with them, to be honest. They didn’t make us play the kind of defense that we had to play throughout the course of the year.” With junior Pete Kuzma out of the lineup with an ankle injury, the Cardinals still managed to subdue Indiana Central, 81-77, in the home opener. Down by a 41- 33 score at halftime, the winners shot .552 from the field and controlled the backboards to come from behind and take their first victory. Junior Robert Sims, a transfer student player before a Ball State crowd for the first time in inter- collegiate competition, meshed a game- high 24 points, and sophomore center Randy Boarden chipped in 20 points with 15 rebounds. Kuzma’s presence was missed when fouls took their toll in the 72-66 loss to the Broncos. Welmer, Sims, and Boarden were forced to the bench with their four more... Basketball Team.

For- ward Tom Cutter’s 21 points led Western Michigan, while Hahn’s 16 was the high for Ball State. Hahn’s dead-eye shooting made the difference in the Cardinals’ 66-63 edging of Ohio University at Athens. The Car- dinal ‘‘Most Valuable Player’ poured in 25 points, making seven of 12 shots from the field and 11 of 12 at the free throw line. The conference's leading scorer, Tom- my Harris, went on a 35-point spree to help Bowling Green clobber the Car- dinals, 72-54. Harris hit from everywhere but the ladies’ room as the BSU zone defense failed to be effective.Sims had 18 points and 12 rebounds to lead the Car- dinals in both categories. The team coupled a pair of victories over Eastern Michigan (86-64) and Ohio University (65-64) in their biggest and smallest winning margins of the year, and then watched Matt Hicks tip in the bucket that propelled the surprising Northern Il- linois Huskies to a 83-77 decision. Following Central Michigan’s second defeat of the Cards in the season, Hols- tein handed in his walking papers. Although he was now alternating his Starters to try different chemistries of players, no variation had produced a con- sistent winning unit. For the rest of the season the at- mosphere around the team was relaxed. The pressure let up and the fans saw more of the players they hadn't seen earlier in the year — like forwards Matt Beerbower, Pal Kaiser and crowd-pleaser Robert Caper. The team finished the re- mainder of the schedule with a .500 record, beating Western Michigan, Eastern Michigan, and Kent State while losing to Miami, Toledo, and Bowling Green. Boarden, the six foot, nine inch sophomore center from Chicago Lane Tech, led the team in scoring average with an 11.8 average. Senior Jim Hols- tein, son of the head coach, was tops in field goal and free throw percentage with .506 and .923 marks respectively. Criticiz- ed by some for playing his son, the elder Hostein said simply, ‘‘He is the smartest player l’ve ever coached, barring none, and I’ve coached some good ones.” In the five years Holstein was at this university he did indeed coach ‘some good ones.”’ But during his final session he could not put together on the floor enough ‘good games” to satisfy his backers. 152 Basketball Sims and his teammates had turnover troubles in the next contest, a 63-56 loss to the San Jose Spartans. Leading 56-53 with four minutes to go, Sims lost the ball twice, and San Jose converted on both errors. The Cardinals failed to score in the remaining time, and the Spartans won by seven. The losers turned the ball over 25 times throughout the evening. “We beat ourselves,’’ summed up Holstein. Now owning a 1-2 record, the Cardinals ran head-on into another bird in game three — six foot, nine inch forward Larry Bird of Indiana State. A brilliant shooter, averaging 26 points a game going into the contest, Bird scored 25 to lead the Sycamores to their 80-69 victory. “Bird was the best player we faced all year, without a doubt,”’ praised Holstein. Ragged play late in the first half spelled the Cardinals’ emise as they stayed even with Indiana State the rest of the game. Sims again led in scoring with 24 points. The highlight of the entire year was an exciting, nail-nibbling 57-55 upset over Ohio State in University Gym. Trailing� most of the ballgame, guard Jim Hahn hit a jump shot to cap a Cardinal comeback and tie the score at 53-all. The Buckeyes then reverted into a stall that backfired. With 14 seconds on the clock, junior Dave Welmer tipped in a basket for the two point margin of victory, although OSU's Larry Bolden missed a jumper moments before the buzzer. Over Christmas break the Cards drop- ped two of their three away contests, to Butler and Southern Mississippi. The lone win was a 70-67 dumping of Mercer, with Sims collecting 17 points and Boarden hauling down 11 rebounds. Returning back to the confines of University Gym, the earlier loss to Butler was avenged, 66-59. Missing from the lineup was guard Conrad Jones, who quit the squad after he said he was not getting enough playing time. more...

Son of the departing coach, he was also ranked third in the assist category. Ss a Surrounded by sethacks continued The Cardinals began the MAC portion of their schedule against Central Michigan, the team that ultimately finish- ed as conference champions. The Chip- pewas dealt Holstein’s crew a heartbreak- ing 71-69 defeat. “This was a game that hurt us more than any game throughout the year because had we won, the kids would have had more confidence in themselves and believed in themselves a little bit more,’ Holstein said. Boarden’s 20 points was one bright spot for BSU. Miami, led by all-conference forward Archie Aldridge’s 27-point output, flatten- ed the Cardinals, 93-60, to leave the losers with a 0-2 record in two league games. The Redskins connected on 60 per cent of their shots from the floor compared to Ball State’s 39 per cent. ‘‘We just got an old-fashioned stomping,’’ said a disgusted Holstein after the embarass- ment. The close loss to CMU and Miami's 33- point verdict were serious blows to the Cardinals’ winning ego, according to Holstein. ‘‘We started out with the top teams in the conference,’ Holstein ra- tionalized. ‘““And with the young team that can either make you or break you. | don’t want to say it broke us, but | think to a degree it hurt us.”’ Kent State finally became Ball State’s first MAC victim by a 64-62 margin in University Gym. The Flashes rallied and almost made up a 14 point deficit until the Cardinals’ stall, which had been unsuc- cessful all night, preserved the win. Before the squad went into the game against defending conference champion Western Michigan, another member walk- ed off. Pete Kuzma, sidelined with an ankle injury early in the season, said he thought he was not seeing enough ac- tion. Holstein recalled the affair: ‘“When one of our players have problems, they talk to us about it, and we tell them to take the day off. ‘If you don’t come to practice tomorrow, we'll understand that you've decided to hang it up.’ Pete took Thursday off, and he didn’t come to prac- tice Friday.

Basketball | Le Swimming Revising the record books “Year after year we lower our times at the championships but the other MAC teams are improving.’’ — Coach Doug Morris A tter four months of practice sessions at 6 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., the Ball State Cardsharks wound up the grueling swim team schedule with a disappointing ninth place finish at the Mid-American Con- ference (MAC) Swim Championships. Fourth year Head Coach Doug Morris said, ‘Year after year we lower our times at the championships but the other MAC teams are improving.” Senior co-captain Chris LaMothe said, “We had more talent on this swim squad then we had during the previous three years. With only nine swimmers and three divers we don’t have much quantity but we have good quality.”’ LaMothe hung up his Cardshark swim trunks after his last meet at the con- ference swim championships. He broke his own record in the 200-yard butterfly event and will leave Ball State with the 100-yard butterfly mark tucked away in the record book. Morris said, ‘‘Chris LaMothe has placed in the top six at the MAC in both the 100 and 200 yard butterfly events for the past three years. He has also led the team in total points in each of the past three MAC Championships. LaMothe scored 30 points at the 1977 MAC Championships followed by freshman Steve Byrne, who tallied 19 . Junior co-captain, Dave Ulrich, swam into two slots in the Cardshark all-time bests. Ulrich was one full second under previous Ball State records in the 200 and 500-yard freestyle events. Junior Tim Shaw was another double record setter at the championships. The sprint freestyle specialist broke one mark and tied another. In fact, he tied the oldest existing Cardhsark record, lodging his name beside Dennis Stites who first established the Ball State 50-yard freestyle mark in 1969. The Cardshark diving corps was led by senior Jeff McClung. He transferred to Ball State from Purdue and scored many points for the team in diving competition. With only a few upperclassmen com- peting to score, three freshman had to take up the slack. Many times the trio Senior Chris LaMothe is on his way to another record in the 200-yard butterfly. The Cardshark from Battle Creek, Michigan, owns Ball State standards in the 100 and 200-yard butterfly and is a part of the 400-yard relay team pace setters. spearheaded the Ball State swim attack. Breaststroker Steve Byrne, a freshman from Bloomington North, improved all season long in the breaststroke event, shattering his own record in the 200 yard breaststroke at the MAC Championships. Byrne also broke the 100-yard breaststroke record in the same meet as the tresnman performed like a seasonea veteran at the championships. Morris said, ‘For a freshman to place sixth and seventh in his two events is very good in our conference.” Throughout the dual meet season, the Cardshark lifesaver in many of the meets was freshman Phil Thornberg. In the first meet that he wore a Cardshark swim suit, he set a new record in the 1000-yard freestyle by 11 seconds. After disappointing performances in the 200 and 500-yard freestyle events, Thornberg added his name to a list of vic- torious teammates by establishing a new mark in the 1650-yard freestyle. LaMothe’s heir in breaking butterfly records is apparently another freshman, Chuck Haag. At the MAC Haag’s 2:05 se- cond time in the 200-yard butterfly ranked seventh in the conference. Coach Morris’s squad had a dismal start with three heartbreaking defeats in its first three matches. In all three nailbiters, the Cardsharks were defeated when their 400-yard freestyle relay team was touched in the last event of each meet. The team enjoyed a five match win skein with victories over Wabash, 74-41; Toledo, 61-52; Butler, 72-39; Depauw, 59- 46; and special MAC foe Bowling Green, 63-50. Miami of Ohio put the screws to Ball State’s winning string as the Redskins scored a 74-40 win over the Cardsharks. The Cardsharks swapped a win and loss in its next two matches with a win over Evansville, 64-49, and a loss to a much superior Eastern Michigan squad, 80-33. Ball State’s last dual meet loss did not prevent the Cardsharks from obtaining a winning record. The Cardsharks finally finished with a 6-5 record.

The Cardinals initiated their 19 76-77 edition in the Big Ten Invitational which kept no team scoring. Their early season activities continued with a fourth-place finish in a six-team meet in Chicago. Another non-team scoring tournament preceded the Second Annual Ball State All-Around Classic. The Cards increased their point total from the first annual classic over 12 points, while they jumped from eleventh out of 13 to ninth out of a field of 14 teams. “| was really pleased with our per- formance in our classic,’’ beamed Ball State Head Coach Paul Mayer. ‘’We im- proved our score and our place standing over the last year. There were some teams in the classic this year that are strong enough to be national champions. Between Oklahoma, Nebraska, Indiana State, and Southern Illinois, you have some of the best gymnasts in the country. | think we did a fine job in an excellent meet.” “I'd have to say that seeing John Good win the all-around championship at Peace State was one of our biggest thrills this season,’’ explained Mayer. ‘‘As a team | thought we could have won the meet rather than finishing second, but wat- ching John made it all worthwhile. Steve Potaczek was also able to win the rings competition. It was early in the season and | was encouraged with what | saw.”’ The weatherman then postponed the Cards’ next tussle with Ohio State. The frigid temperatures and accumulations of snow forced the BSU-OSU meet to be delayed for a month. Western Michigan provided the Cards with their first win of the season, falling short of Ball State by one point. One of coach Paul Mayer’s ‘‘quiet surprises’’ was freshman ring specialist Wayne Grazianao. Here, Grazianao shows why he is generally regarded as the strongest man on Mayer's squad. Assistant Coach Hiroshi Kinoshita keeps a watchful eye on all-around man Marc Gaertner as he pro- gresses through one of the most difficult routines in collegiate gymnastics on the horizontal bar.

Scoring their highest mark of the season, Ball State managed to edge over the 200-point mark, downing Ohio State in the make-up 200.75-191.05. From that point the Cards lost two meets in a weekend road trip to Illinois; Northern Il- linois and Illinois State both topped the 200-mark in dropping the Cards to a 2-5 slate. The Georgia sun did wonders for the ailing gymnasts as the Cards reeled off three wins in a triangular meet with Eastern Kentucky and Georgia Tech and a dual meet at Georgia Southern in prepara- tion for the NCAA (Eastern Independent) Regional at Illinois State. “I'd have to say that our general at- titude toward the regional was very com- mendable,’’ emphasized Mayer. ‘‘We came into it very business-like and kept our concentration. This was our best finish since I’ve been here; we placed four men in the finals of the competition (John Good, floor exercise; Baron DeVeau, vaulting; Steve Potaczek, rings; and An- dy Miller, pommel horse). | was pleased with the job our four did and am filled with hope for our future.” “Our future lies with our youngsters, ”’ Mayer continued. ‘‘We have a fine crop of freshmen and sophomores. Guys like Wayne Graziano on rings and Willie Col- lins on the pommel horse have stepped in as freshmen this year and did a heck of a job. Wayne’s a strong, very coachable kid and Willie’s got a lot of finesse. They both love to work.” Other freshmen who Mayer mentioned as hopefuls for the future include Jim Laurent, Jeff Mount, and Tim Lucas. “Lucas is the kind of guy who will go in the gym and knock himself out to im- prove,’ Mayer explained. ‘‘Mount and Laurent have definite possibilities; it’s just a matter of putting a few years behind them.” Upperclassmen on the Card roster in- cluded sophomores Randy Kirk and Jim Sharp and juniors Marc Gaertner, Good, DeVeau, and Potaczek while captain Miller was the only senior on the squad. “| think we had some good leadership upperclassmen from our this year,” Mayer emphasized. ‘‘Andy kept the freshmen going and provided an occa- sional lift in morale. Baron and John were able to keep the competition'sharpin prac- tice. We're losing a lot with Andy’s graduation, his shoes are going to be tough to fill.’ “We got hit with some key injuries ear- ly,’’ added Mayer, who just completed his sixth year as Cardinal mentor. ‘‘Jim Paul hurt his shoulder and Mark Kline was wounded all over. We lost those guys for the entire season. One more major injury, and we might just have well called it quits.”’ Mayer attributed a good deal of the success of his individuals to the hard work and extra effort of assistant Coach Hiroshi Kinoshita. Kinoshita is in his second year of coaching while pursuing his master’s degree in physical education. “Hiro adds a lot to the team,’’ Mayer explained. ‘‘He concentrates on the psychological aspect of gymnastics which is important. | depend on him to provide that extra attention that some of the younger ones might need. He has added a great deal to the program as a whole here at Ball State. | personally have learned a lot from Hiro. He has been a definite asset.” “We were good but we still have to get better,” Mayer said. ‘‘We can’t be satisfied with a fifth-place finish at Regionals. We won't be satisfied until we are able to give the ‘big boys’ an authentic run for their money. | want to see the day when Ball State is a national gymnastics power.” ¢ GYMNASTICS RESULTS Chicago Six-Way Meet: 4th Midwest Open: no team scoring BALL STATE ALL-AROUND CLASSIC: Sth (of 14) Peach State Invitational: 2nd (of 5) Southern Ill. 208.35 BALL STATE 194.85 Indiana State 211.85 BALL STATE 190.6 BALL STATE 193.85 Western Michigan 192.0 Indiana 201.2 BALL STATE 198.55 Titan Invitational: 4th (of 11) BALL STATE 200.75 Ohio State 191.05 Northern Ill. 212.2, BALL STATE 198.95 Illionis State 205.75 BALL STATE 194.0 BALL STATE 194.05 Georgia Tech 181.30 BALL STATE 194.05 Eastern Kentucky 167.05 BALL STATE 194.5 Georgia Southern 183.8 NCAA (Eastern Independent) Regional: 5th (of 8) Gymnastics {2 160; Wrestling BSU sophomore Bob Russo finds himself in tight predicament with Indiana State’s Kent Lewis.

Head Ball State wrestling coach Pete Samuels talked about it early in the season. The idea wasn't really new, but it was something which proved rather rele- vent to 4 wrestling campaign. Samuels explained it this way: “In high school a wrestler may encounter a tough competitor only one in five times; however, in college a wrestler usually competes against top individuals almost every time he wrestles.” Of the 20 wrestlers who at one time or other competed for Ball State in dual meets, tournaments, or invitationals this season, 12 were freshmen. Five freshmen competitors were regular performers for Ball State. For a wrestler to become orientated to such a situation he must compete to gain experience. The 1976-77 edition of the Ball State wrestling team posted a 3-5-1 dual meet mark, finished last out of eight teams in the Western Illinois Invitation, third out of seventeen teams in the Anderson Invita- tional and sixth in the Mid-American Con- ference Championships. Team honors and wins were few but in- dividual honors were attained by several wrestlers. The Cardinals started the season in late November without two of their top per- formers from the previous year — Al Manning and Stu Moyer. Moyer graduated with a 66-12-1 career slate and Manning was forced to sit out the whole season with a knee injury. However, sophomore Dennis Lewis transfered to Ball State from Southern Il- linois University. Lewis, along with junior Kim Graham were named co-captains of the team. The first two meets of the season were tournaments in which no team scores were kept. At the Indiana State Invita- tional, Graham and freshman Brian Thomas picked up second place honors while senior Kent Adsit finished third. Four other BSU wrestlers ended up fourth in the tourney. The Northern lowa Open was the second meet of the season for the Cardinals and seven Ball State matmen made it to the quarter-finals before being eliminated. The matmen traveled to Pennsylvania for a quadrangular meet against Clarion State College, one of the top-ranked teams in the nation at the time; University of Florida, defending champion of the Southeastern Conference; and Ship- pensburg State. The Cardinals only managed to down Shippensburg State and lost to the other two opponents. Ball State returned home to host their own invitational in mid-December. The only two Cards to place in the meet were Graham and Thomas. The Cardinals strung together two dual meet wins in a row by beating both Southern Illinois and Western Michigan. The 28-8 victory over WMU would prove to be the most sweeping victory of the season. Samuels summed up his team’s per- formance in the Western Illinois Invita- tional when he said, ‘‘We stunk,” as they finished last in the tourney. Only two Ball State wrestlers placed in the meet with Adsit garnering a second and Brian Hipscher finishing fourth. The matmen staged a comeback from their poor showing in the WI Invitational with a third place in the Anderson Invita- tional. Graham returned to action after missing the team’s two prior meets because of an injury and recorded the on- ly first for BSU in the Invitational. Adsit both placed second in their respective weight classes in the conference tourney — Lewis at 126 pounds and Graham at 134 pounds. Adsit, who in his senior campaign en- massed a 16-8-1 record, finished third in the MAC at 150 pounds. Adsit finished out his career with a 34-32-2 collegiate slate and was voted, along with Graham, by his teammates as a most valuable wrestler. The pair finished with the best individual records on the team and placed in almost every tourney or invitational they entered. Going into the NCAA meet, Graham, only a junior, was ranked eighth on the all-time Ball State list for most wins with a 47-15-1 career slate.

After returning from a four win-five loss spring trip to Florida, the Cardinal diamondmen, under the direction of Head Coach Bob Rickel, built up a winning streak, taking 12 of 14 games before Mid- American Conference (MAC) action began. “We were playing tremendous ball coming into the opening of conference action,”” emphasized Rickel, who just completed his seventh year at the Car- dinal helm. “| don’t mean we were just playing well, but for the talent we had, we were playing great. Mentally we were sound and physically we were doing everything right.’ oa However, inclement weather dampen- ed not only the Ball State diamond, but also the emotionally peaked Cardinal spririts. The team’s MAC debut involved weekend doubleheaders with Ohio University and Kent State. Both were scheduled at home; both were washed out. Because of the financial infeasability, the games were not rescheduled. According to Rickel, the Cards were caught mentally off-guard by non- conference foe Notre Dame when they returned to action after a week of rest. “We were flying high and peaking at the right time. We got hit with the rain and then came out flat against Notre Dame. We lost two games that we shouldn't have, and all our confidence that we had built up was gone.” After a disappointing double loss to In- diana State, the men from Muncie were finally able to open their MAC schedule at Western Michigan, where they gained a split. The trip to Dekalb for a doubleheader against Northern Illinois began the Cards’ long period of frustration. The Huskies took the opening game on a one-run dedi- sion before the second game was ter- minated in a tie after 11 innings. The schedule then took BSU to Ander- son, where the Cards tried to work out their frustrations, winning 6-2. However, Mother Nature continued to antagonize Muncie as the monsoons forc- ed postponement of the game against MAC-rival Bowling Green.

He handled our young pitchers and led the team in hitting (42 hits in 40 games and a .350 batting average), runs batted in (38), and home runs (9, a Ball State record). Neuenschwander also holds the career Ball State home run record with 223 “Jim Stanley and Jeff Eader did fine jobs for us in the infield,’’ Rickel con- tinued. ‘Defensively, Stanley covered a lot of ground at shortstop. He’s a hard worker and a tough competitor. Eader didn’t have as good a year as we thought he could have. His hitting fell off a bit toward the end of the year, but he was still able to make some significant con- tributions to the team.”’ Although the Cards boasted a youthful pitching staff, they were blessed with seniors Tom Sharon and Randy Myers, who served as organizers and instructors for the young hurlers. Sharon established a Ball State career strikeout standard by totalling 55 this season and 210 for his career. Myers provided Ball State fans the first no-hitter in two years as he blanked St. Joseph's. PROBLEMS continued “It was a total team effort to make this season go as well as it did,’’ remarked Rickel. ‘We had everyone pitching in to help. Our outfield had Jay Brehm, Demetrius Sanders, Randy Jobe, Tom Barwise, and Rick Bailey all taking turns helping. Dee (Sanders) had a good year-- nothing to compare to sensational year last year, but he’s a steady ballplayer. Brehm really turned on late, and Jobe and Barwise have been pleasant surprises. ’’ The Card infield was generally manned by Greg Dikos, Stanley, Rick Morrison, and Eader, with Ted Weigel and Mike Sullivan coming off the bench. “| honestly don’t know what was wrong, but Dikos really sputtered late in the year,’’ lamented Rickel. ‘‘Weigel has gained a great amount of confidence this year. He’s young, so we eased him into the lineup. He has good power and a nice, smooth stroke.” The abundance of youth on the pit- ching staff gives Rickel plenty to look for- ward to. Freshmen hurlers included Scott Bryson, Gary Caldwell, Rob Robbins, Terry Smith, and Clint Wickensheimer, while the sophomores were Jerald Roach, Ricky Robinson, and Randy Ude. “Our youngsters have had the benefit of experience with our seniors,’’ said Rickel. ‘This, added with their natural talent, will hopefully help them develop into first-rate pitchers which will be an asset to our program.” 4 BASEBALL RESULTS Stetson 9, BALL STATE4 BALL STATE 4, Ohio Northern 3 LaSalle 4, BALL STATE3 Ohio Northern 6, BALL STATE 3 Bellmont College 7, Ball State 6 BALL STATE 12, Wheaton College 7 BALL STATE 8, Milton College 0 BALL STATE 4, LaSalle 3 Ohio Northern 4, BALL STATE3 BALL STATE 7-11, Huntington 3-2 BALL STATE 3-2, Indiana 2-1 BALL STATE 4-6, Butler 2-1 BALL STATE 9-9, Purdue 4-5 Louisville 5-6, BALL STATE 2-2 BALL STATE 7-10, Marian 1-0 Notre Dame 5-7, BALL STATE 3-5 Indiana State 5-9, BALL STATE 3-8 Western Michigan 7-1, BALL STATE 3-8 Northern Illinois 5-11, BALL STATE 2-9 BALL STATE 6, Anderson 2 Toledo 2-8, BALL STATE 1-1 BALL STATE 8-3, Indiana Central 6-4 BALL STATE 10-6, St. Joseph’s 0-5 BALL STATE 5-7, Miami 4-9 BALL STATE 5-4, Eastern Michigan 1-3 Central Michigan 10-12, BALL STATE 5-0 Baseball Team FRONT: Rick Morrison, Jay Brehm, Greg Uikos, Stan Neuenschwander, Jeff Eader, Randy Myers, Jim Stanley, Tom Sharon.

Individual input- team output No, you can’t blame the Ball State grounds crew for the water being on the track. Those obstacles are a part of the 3,000-meter steeplechase, an event which BSU’s Jeff Shoemaker (right) has mastered. Kelley Marsh, who supplied BSU fans with plenty of thrills as he won the 1000-meter indoor national championships, won the MAC 800-meter title during the outdoor season, but failed to place in the na- tional meet. Up front The night before Kelley Marsh became the first Ball State NCAA indoor track champion, he was fairly confident of victory. “| mapped out the times | wanted to run and worked my strategy,’ he said... ‘I knew if | could run the race in a time of 2:08, | could win.” Marsh, a phenomenal freshman from Muncie North, had set the Ball State track record with a 2:07.3 clocking in his event, the 1,000-yard run, earlier in the campaign. To break 2:08 again would be difficult, but at least he had done it before. “| was dead before we went to the race,’”’ Marsh continued. “I didn’t feeel like running, | was so tired. Then, when | got there, | just relax- ed.”’ Marsh said he was boxed-in at the start of the event, and to ensure himself of a good clocking he needed an early lead. ‘Finally a gap opened up in front of me, and | shot into third place,”’ he said. “After the first lap, | went around the outside and started sprinting. | was in the lead from there on in. | hit the half-mile at 1:59, which made me happy because that’s when | wanted to hit it. “When ' | reached the finish line, | almost stumbled over from exhaustion. People con- gratulated me, but all | wanted to know was my time.” Marsh whose performance was broadcast on NBC television, broke the tape in 2:07.89, 1.36 seconds ahead of second-place finisher Don Paige of Villanova. “Later it hit me that | had won,” said Marsh, cracking a tiny smile. ‘“A few months earlier | didn’t even know how I'd do in the 1,000 yard run. | couldn't believe it.” a, a Track Like any sport, track is composed of in- dividuals whose total effort creates a team output. For the Cardinal track team, a number of individuals contributed more than their share of effort. Perhaps the most remarkable of these was freshman Kelley Marsh, a two-time state half-mile champion from Muncie North. Marsh, in just his first season of in- tercollegiate competition, won the 1,000 yard run at the NCAA indoor champion- ship in Detroit, Michigan. Yet his clocking of 2:07.89 was still six-tenths of a second slower than the 2:07.3 school record he managed in winning the Indiana Inter- collegiate two months earlier. Another freshman, Jim Rogers, qualified for the NCAA indoor meet with the fifth best time for the 600-yard run in the nation, although he missed going to the final heat by just four-hundreds of a second. The distance medley relay team of Mike Dave Byrne, putting the shot, also doubled as a punter for Ball State’s football team. One afternoon, Byrne played an important role in the Cardinal-White intrasquad football game, then donned hi shinelads, to win the shot put competition Stojic, Jerry Rebeck, Dave Kemps and Roy Benge was also eliminated in the first heat at Detroit. With the team compiling an indoor dual meet record of 2-0, seven indoor records were established: Marsh in the 1,000 yard run (2:07.3); Shawn Kerrigan in the 35- pound weight throw (51° 22’’); Tom Bun- ner in the pole vault (15’ 3’’) Gary Lewis in the high jump (6’ 9°’); Rogers, Marsh, Rebeck and Ken Mathis in the distance medly (9:51.3) and Stojic, Benge, Kemps and Marsh in the two-mile relay (7:28.7). Track { More school records fell during the out- door season, as the coach. Jerrv Rushton’s thinlies concluded with a 3-2 dual meet record. At the first Ball State Collegiate Invita- tion, senior Jeff Shoemaker broke the old mark in the 3,000-meter run with a 8:30.8 clocking. For his achievement Shoemaker was named the Outstanding Athlete of the meet. During the same invitational junior Tom Bunner went 15 feet, seven in- ches in the pole vault to establish a new record, while Larry Knox equaled the BSU mark in the 100-meter dash. At the Dogwood Relays in Chat- tanooga, Tennessee, Royce Turner won a gold medal and set a new school record by clearing the high jump bar at six feet, 10 inches. But, again it was Kelley Marsh who grabbed the spotlight, as he led all runners in the 800-meter run with a school INDIVIDUAL INPUT continued and meet record time of 1:48.4. Following his performance, Marsh was invited to run in a special 800-meter invitational at the Drake Relays. Competing agasinst a five-man field of world-class middle distance runners, including Kenyan Mike Boit and Olympian Rick Wolhuter, Marsh finished fourth, although he was less than one second behind the victor, Oklahoma’s Randy Wilson. And in the Mid-American Conference meet, which the Cardinal team took seventh, Marsh captured the 800-meter run in a time of 1:49.53. Going into the Central Collegiate Invita- tional in late May, three Cardinal track members had qualified for the Outdoor NCAA meet--Marsh in the 800 meters, Shoemaker in the 3,000-meter steeplechase and 10,000 meter run, and Jim Needler in the 10,000 meters 4 Tim Hollabaugh, said by Assistant Coach Steve Cooksey to be ’’a decathlete’’ shows his versatility. His first two years at Ball State were spent as a high jumper, now he has turned to running events to help “It was a young and improved track team over the previous years. We him ready for the decathlon. eres i had a national champ for indoor track, which is a first.” — Coach Jerry Rushton 0 TRACK RESULTS Indoor season Indiana AAU-USTFF: no team scoring BALL STATE 77, Indiana State 54 Indiana University Relays: no team scoring Indiana Intercollegiate: Ball State finished third BALL STATE 75, Miami of Ohio 65 Illini Classic: no team scoring NCAA Championships: Ball State tied for 15th Outdoor season Indiana University Open: no team scoring Miami 104, BALL STATE 59 Bowling Green 84, BALL STATE 79 Dogwood Relays: no team scoring BALL STATE 111, Ind.

Coach Earl Yestingmeier’s linksters put together a 4-0 dual meet record and cap- tured one first, two second, and two third-place finishes in tournaments. Then in the Mid-American Conference (MAC) championships the Cardinals managed to take fourth despite competing without ace Sc ott Steger. Steger paced the Cardinal effort most of the year until he suffered torn ligaments in his left thumb two weeks before the MAC Championships. The junior from Anderson held the con- ference’s lowest stroke average (73.9) and was medalist in two tournaments, the Indiana Intercollegiate and the Colonel Classic. Steger was backed by junior Paul Kemps and senior Kent Kahre. Kemps owned a 75.81 average, placed second at Ball State Invitational and third at the Pur- due Invitation. Kahre, the team’s captain, was third at the Indiana Intercollegiate and fourth at the Colonel Classic. His final round of 70 helped boost the Cards into fourth in the standings at the MAC Cham- pionships, after the team had lagged in sixth. Cary Hungate also fared well this year for the Cards, with a first-place tie at the Indianapolis Intercollegiate, a third at the DePauw Invitational and a team-leading fourth at the MAC Championships. Other players who saw action for the Cardinals were Mike Pasquali, Mark Porter, Andy Soley and Al Martin. The team won their own invitational with a 365 score, concluded second at the Indianapolis Intercollegiate and the Col- onel Classic, and third at the DePauw In- vitational .They also opened the spring season with two dual match victories over Edison in Florida, and at mid-year beat Tri-State and |UPU-Indianapolis. Eaming All-MAC honors and team Most Valuable Golfer, Scott Steger recorded the lowest stroke average in the Mid-American Conference at 73.96, per 18-hole round.

But, | don’t think we went into more than one match with our regular lineup.” Richards said senior Jim Daugherty was out most of the year with a painful back injury. ‘‘He should have been the best number three player in theleague.’’In April, Marty Atwell, a junior from Muncie who played in the number one position, severely sprained his ankle and did not see action for the entire month. And Steve Rothstein, undefeated at his number four spot the year before, was af- flicted with mononucleosis in the winter and didn’t play tennis until the team went to Florida in late February. ‘’Then early in the season he lost two players he shouldn't have and never got a chance to build his confidence,’’ said Richards. Rothstein finished with an 8-15 individual record. irae about hard luck. Ask Coach Bill As a team, the Cardinal netters con- cluded with a 10-11 dual meet record, compared to a 12-12 slate the previous year. ‘We had a lot of disappointing matches--Northern Illinois, Ohio Universi- ty, Toledo, Notre Dame. These were teams we felt were as good as or better if we were at full strength, ‘Richards said. The Cardinals did end on a good note, Richards said, by taking third in the Mid- American Conference Championships. “We played well in the tournmament. Everyone was relatively healthy.”’ Freshman John Wood reached the finals at the number five position for the Cardinals in the tourney. Wood and Dave Balingall both turned in outstanding freshmen years, with Wood accumulating a 17-6 match record and Bellingall a 14-9. Senior Scott Perelman also had a 14-9 record, as well as acting like an ‘‘assistant coach for the team, Richards said. “| hate to see him (Perelman) graduate,”’ said Richards. ‘‘He has been a tremendous team man and a steady in- fluence to everyone. We're going to miss him very much.” Ball State’s tennis team recorded what could be termed as a more than mediocre season. Despite earning a meager 10-win, 11-loss record, the Card netters finished third in the perennially tough Mid- American Conference championships.

Coach Gail Weber's women netters proved that by compiling a strong 20-10 record, copping second in the state tour- nament and reaching the quarterfinals in the MAIAW regional. But things were not always looking up for the Cardinals. After the first six games of the season their record was a dismal 1- ae “| attribute our poor early showing to lack of playing together and not being in condition,”” sai d the first-year coach. “Three days after team selections we went to Illinois State for the tournament. That just wasn’t enough time to prepare.”’ With a little more practice, however, the team jelled. They never lost more than one game in a row for the remainder of the seasaon. Weber said the Cardinal’s best per- formance was against Ohio State, the same school which has spoiled the NCAA hopes of the men’s volleyball team the last several years. The women netters fought from behind to tromp the stubborn Buckeyes, 14-16, 15-5, 16-14. Weber said she was also proud of the way her team rebounded to beat Purdue in the state tournament, after finishing second to the Boilermakers in the Ball State tourney a few weeks before. Women’s Volleyball West Lafayette senior Nancy Steel has overcome physical adversity in her years at BSU to become a standout for the Redbirds. Her freshman year she suffered a broken wrist.

Juniors Jona Braden, Judy Sheets, and sophomores Laura Kieffer, Perri Hankins, Pam Wilson and Karen Merchant all saw much action throughout the year. Spraining her ankle early in the season, junior Debbie Buchanan, a starting hitter, was replaced by freshman Dana McVicker, Weber said. The B volleyball team, consisting of sophomores and freshman, also amassed a fine record, winning 10 of their 15 games. The highlight of their season was taking first at the Saluki Invitational tournament, Weber said. The B squad consisted of two sophomore setters, Cheri Kukelhan and Jan Mock, and two freshmen setters, Peg Edmundsen and Karen McClurg, with the balance of the team freshmen hitters— Mary Burkhardt, Sue Bowersox, Pat Mundt, Shelly Walker and Laura Lom- bard. Weber said the B-team worked especially well together, with many of the girls having previous volleyball experience in high school. Brenda Dyke served as manager for the Cardinals, Weber said, while seniors Ann Horn and Michele Meyer were the team’s trainers. Weber was assisted in coaching by graduate assistant Mindy Mueler. Pam Wilson (30) and Laura Kieffer (24) intimidate an Indiana State player and force her to resort to a “dink” shot rather than challenging the block with a spike.

We were not ready a lot of times to get on the court and play a match.” — Coach Mary Visser 178 Women’s Tennis ? Playing the field A hard schedule left the women’s ten- nis team with a 1-4 dual meet record and without a first place finish in a tourna- ment. “We played teams that right now were over our heads,” the first-year coach Mary Visser explained. ‘‘Our team was comprised primarily of freshman and sophomores this year.’’ The Cardinals faced such opponents as Purdue, Indiana, Notre Dame, and St. Mary’s. The Boilermakers won the In- diana State Women’s Invitational Tennis Tournament, and Indiana, according to Visser, was the toughest squad the Car- dinals encountered all year. ‘Their number six person could play number one on most teams,” claimed the head coach. “Physically, we were in good shape,”’ asserted Visser. ‘‘Our biggest problem was mental preparation. We were not ready a lot of times to get on the court and play a match.” The Cardinals opened the season with their own invitational, which St. Mary’s captured with a team score of 28. Notre Dame, (whose head coach, Kathy Cor- des, is a former Ball State tennis coach), placed second, and the Cardinals were. third. Visser’s squad them traveled to the State Tournament and wound up in an eighth place tie with the University of Evansville and Indiana State. Sophomore Cathy Lowe reached the quarter-finals for the Cardinals, and number one player Lisa Scott made it to the semi-finals. After being eliminated in the first round of the Milliken Tournament, the Cardinals dropped a close 5-4 decision to Taylor, in a meet Visser said, ‘‘“Should have gone the other way. We lost some key mat- chups.” Indiana University, Miami of Ohio, and Eastern Kentucky each blitzed Ball State 9-0 wins during the rest of the season, although sandwiched in-between the losses was a 6-8 win over Indiana State. Visser said sophomore Lisa Scott was the top singles player for the Cardinals throughout the season. ‘’She’s had good training in tennis along with lots of natural ability,’’ the coach praised. ‘‘I think Lisa’s best is yet to come, though.” Scott and freshman Sue Shively team- ed up to be the strongest in doubles, Visser said. Junior Kim Coffey, sophomore Nancy Schoettmer, Cathy Lowe, and freshman Sally Spencer and Cathy Coffee were other top performers for the team. Visser loses four seniors: Sue Patterson of South Bend, Ann Stairs of New Castle, Tracy Chappelow of Brookville and Pam Werner of Muncie. Werner missed much of the season due to an injury. Coach Visser said the four netters would be missed by the team. ‘Each has contributed to the team over the years in different ways,” she said. “| think it took a while for the girls to get their game sense...Once we got everything together, the kids knew how good they really were.” —- Coach Jaqueline Schmidt Picking themselves up after a poor start, members of the women’s field hockey team compiled a_ respectable record of 6-5-1, compared to the previous year’s mark of 1-13-1. Coach Jaqueline Schmidt's Cardinals opened with three straight losses before winning six of their next eight games. Schmidt attributed the early season defeats to a number of factors. “We had only practiced one week before our first game,’’ said the head coach. “And the beginning of our schedule was difficult. Indiana won the state tournament, and Dayton and Goshen had good records the year before. “Plus, | think it takes a while for the girls to get their game-sense,’’ she added. The Cardinals lost the opener to Indiana University, 7-0, in an away contest played on astro-turf. The artificial surface moved the ball a lot faster than Schmidt's team was used to, she said, which was a hard adjustment to make for the first game. Dayton’s Flyers handed the girls a se- cond defeat, 3-2, and Goshen, a third on the same day, 2-1. Junior Darlene Gordon scored two goals, and freshman Jan Payne scored another for the Cardinals. Schmidt said after the contest she was already noticing a vast improvement in Women’s Field Hockey Team.

The New Castle native is one of four senior tennis players to graduate. her squad. ‘’We started to move and play more aggressively.” The Cardinals then racked up a victory over Miami of Ohio, 1-0, before tying In- diana State, 1-1, at home. “Our defense was really playing super together,’’ said Schmidt, pointing out the Miami shutout. ‘Once we got everything together, the kids knew how good they really were. Our scoring attack was penetrating well, too.” Following a 3-0 stomping of the Univer- sity of Cincinnati, Ohio University cap- tured one of the last wins over the Car- dinal women before they won four of their last five games. In the season finale, a 8-0 shellacking of Taylor, Schmidt said the whole front line scored, including three goals by Gordon, two by Karen Lump, and a goal apiece by Payne, Jackie Layne, and Cheryl Feeney. Betty Dobkins, a senior who came out for the team this year after she said she enjoyed a field hockey class, concluded her short career with four shutouts. “We're going to miss her,’’ said Schmidt. Eight members of the team were selected for the Midwest _ regional tourney. Junior Cindy lavagnilio was a first team choice at left halfback, while Lump, Lane, Deborah Harper, Judy Hovermale, Feeney, and Dobkins were picked up for second team. Payne served as asubstitute.

Just before the Cardinal women routed the Valparaiso Crusaders, 90-34, in the December 10 opener, first-year coach Debra Powers had seemed a little less than optimistic. She had good reason. Although two starters, Jane Findling and Jackie Lane, returned from a team that finished second in the NCAA Midwest Tournament, the team lacked size, skills in fundamentals, a settled line-up, and practice time. Still the coach permitted herself some early, albeit guarded, optimism. ‘We're like ants at a picnic,” she said. ‘‘We’re not that big, but some teams will wish we weren't there.” Valparaiso provided the picnic. Stellar forward Findling began what was to blossom into an outstanding year, tossing in 19 points and grabbing 15 rebounds, all in the first half. Sitting out the second stanza, Findling turned the controls to the 5'0” playmaking guard, Laurie Young, who led a fastbreaking offense that smashed through the Crusaders’ 2-3 zone. In addition, the Cards stole a phenomenal 30 passes en route to the 90- 34 thrashing. A five week layoff for Christmas break gave the Cards the additional practice time needed to rout Miami of Ohio, 81-68. The game was actually closer than the score indicated, as the stubborn Redskins kept the score close until the late Cardinal surge in the second half. Two days later, the Cardinal women were confronted with their first oversized opponent, the Indiana State Sycamores whose starting five average a mere 5'10”’. Although the Cards managed to squeak to a 30-29 half time edge, the taller Sycamores finally wore them down, 62- 54. In addition, starter Lisa Harris was lost for the season with a fractured wrist. On Friday, January 21, the Cards took their first trip outside Indiana and regain- ed their winning form by smothering the Ohio University Bobcats, 86-61. Findling led all scores with 23 points and three other Cardinals, Terri Fennell, Carol Kruse, and Carol Martin broke into double figures as Cardinal shooters shot 64 per cent from the floor. On February 4, the Cardinal women raised their record to 4-1 by whipping Pur- due 77-59. The cagers led only 29-28 at in- termission, but junior Jackie Lane led a second half surge by scoring 12 of her 18 points and broke the game open. Findling also contributed 23 points. In spite of the more... Basketball is not all fun and games. Jane Findling and Denise Tague, with the help of Mary McConnell and Lisa Harris, prepare for a practice session with strenuous back exercises. The ritual gives the muscles a chance to work under tension in order to prepare them for competition. 181 Women’s Basketball oI Ne a RI a “Women's Basketball continued win, Coach Powers was not impressed with her plaver's perrormance. “Our offense easily broke Purdue’s press,’’ she said, “but | don’t think we played real well.” She cited the team’s size disadvantage as a major factor in their problems on the boards. On the weekend of February 11 and 12, Coach Power's reservations were borne out as the round ballers took it on the chin from both Western Michigan and Prolific scorer and defensive threat, Jane Findling, skys for an offensive rebound against a visibly out- matched Valparaiso team. The Card cagers buried the team from Northern Indiana 90-34, to open the season. This trend failed to continue as the hoopsters ended with a 5-8 slate. Western Illinois. On Friday, the bigger and stronger Western Michigan Broncos broke the Ball State offense and at one point in the first half led 34-14. Although the Cards closed the gap to 38-26 at the halt, they were outscored 20-7 in the first seven minutes of the second half and wound up losing 85-57. It was the first home loss for the Cards. On Saturday, the Cards traveled to In- diana State to face Western Illinois. En route, their bus broke down and the score managers and two players didn’t arrive until after the game started. To add to their troubles, the Cards saw the lights in the Indiana State gymnasium malfunc- tion. As the lights went out over the Car- dinal basket midway through the first half, the women were forced to play in virtual darkness at their end of the floor. By half time, they trailed 42-34. Although they closed the gap to four in the second half, the day’s events began to take their toll as Western Illinois staked out a nine point lead and eventually won 77-68. The disastrous weekend left Coach Power's Cardinals with a,4-2 ledger, and proved to be a sign of what was to come. That weekend's losses were foliowed by four more, to Indiana University, 75- 68; Southern Illinois, 63-55; Eastern I- linois, 81-53 and Michigan State, 85-65. The Cards redeemed themselves slight- ly in the state tournament, finishing third overall. Ball State lost to Indiana, 73-61, despite a 22-point effort by Findling. The Cards then defeated Purdue by a score of 71-60. This time, Jackie Lane led the scor- ing with 23 points. To sum up the season, Coach Powers said, ‘Since this was my first year as coach, this was a learning experience for the girls and me. A lot of adjustments had to be made. The girls had to adjust to my style of coaching and | had to adjust to the way they played. It was also a learning experience in that the girls had to learn my methods and plays.” First-year Coach, Debra Powers, is swarmed by a barrage of questions while she prepares strategy during a time out. Powers guided her band of women to a 5-8 slate, while preparing freshmen and sophomores for future competition. WOMEN’S BASKETBALL RESULTS BALL STATE 90 =Valparaiso 34 BALL STATE 81.

Freshman Lori Stahur set a new 500-yard freestyle record everytime she swam the event, and her final 5:46.07 time was nearly 30 seconds better than the old record. And sophomore Nancy Walker came back to break her own records in the 50-yard and 100-yard breatstroke. Dougless also said the team had an outstanding diver in freshman Sue Geiger. ‘‘She performed well for us all season,’’ the coach said. We had a lot of depth,’’ Dougless said, noung the team had 22 swimmers com- pared to 10 the year before. ‘‘Our people didn’t have to swim a lot of events, and that’s why we won our first two meets by such wide margins, | think.’’ “Even in the meets we lost, we didn’t feel like we lost because we went out and did so much better,’’ Dougless said. The first-year coach said all three losses were in away meets and against some of the best teams in the Midwest—Purdue, Bowling Green and Miami of Ohio. The Cardinals also competed in two in- vitationals and finished fifth in both. Dougless said she was pleased with the Cardinal’s performance against mostly Canadian opponents, at the International Invitational at the University of Waterloo in Ontario. The meet was won by Clarion State, she said, one of the top small- college teams in the nation. At the season-ending Eastern Michigan invita- tional, Dougless said she was hoping some of the girls would qualify for the MAIAW meet. ‘We didn’t qualify anyone but we came close in the 200-yard medley relay and the 50 yard breatstroke, and that’s a step in the right direction,” Dougless said.

But then, Coach Anne Pettit’s golfers only competed in one dual meet. Even so, the 744-821 triumph over DePauw marked the first golf tournament ever won by a women’s team in the three- year history of the sport at this university. The Cardinals captured four of the top five individual places, with sophomore ace Tracy Eckhardt getting medalist honors with a 155. Freshmen Janny Ruble and Barb Brodbeck tied for second with 187’s and Melissa Wickes took fifth with a 195. The rest of the women golfers’ schedule involved invitational tour- naments, and in all but one, the Cardinals were not entered as a team. At the Central Michigan Invitational, Eckhardt finished eleventh out of a field of 46 golfers with a 30 over par, 176. She lagged only 12 strokes behind the medalist from Purdue, who had an 18 over par, 164. Wickes, senior Chris Osowski, and junior Wanda Atkinson also competed in the meet, although no Car- dinal team score was kept. At the Purdue Invitational in West Lafayette, Indiana, the Cardinal women placed forteenth in the 16-team, two-day event. Their 802 score was well behind winner Michigan State’s 610 strokes, but, “the girls continue to improve, even though they are playing on more difficult courses,’ Pettit said after the meet. Eckhardt shot a 172, Ruble and Brodbeck again tied at 205, and freshman Mary Morrison fashioned a 221. At the MAIAW. nationals, placed ninth in her flight. Eckhardt “Getting beat by teams in the top five is no embarrassment.” Coach Mary Visser First year badminton coach Mary Visser had a difficult decision to make toward the end of the season last winter. Visser wasn’t sure whether she wanted to send her team to the national bad- minton tourney in Tempe, Arizona, because of the expense involved. “| thought we were good enough, even though we hadn't won a great deal of matches,’’ the coach commented. ‘So, | finally said, ‘Yes.’ ’ Visser wasn’t disappointed, as the Car- dinals tied for ninth in the country with Long Beach State and the University of Houston. “| knew we were competing against some of the top badminton in the nation here,’’ noted Visser. ‘‘Three of the first five teams are from the Midwest teams that were faced all year. Getting beat by teams in the top five is no embarrass- ment.” Because of the limited number of universities with a badminton program in Women’s Golf the area, the Cardinals played the same schools over and over each week. Among their competitors were Western Illinois (number three in the country), the Univer- sity of Wisconsin at LaCrosse (number four), and Eastern Illinois (number five). The women assembled a 1-1 dual meet record, along with three third places in tournaments, a pair of fifths and one seventh. “Nobody played consistently well all year,’’ said Visser. ‘‘We alternated from playing well in singles, and then the next week in doubles.”’ After three home dates, the Cardinals spent most of their schedule on the road, which Visser said, ‘‘got to be pretty gruel- ing.’’ The team traveled by car and some of the drives were more than eight hours long. ‘‘There’s no doubt that had an ef- fect,’’ said Visser. Visser said there was a lot of improve- ment in terms of skill on the team, noting senior Mary Bolinger, who said she work- 7 a le Se ed hard on her quickness. Junior Cheryl Feeney, a participant at nationals, and Kathy Clark were two other players Visser praised as bettering their game. Other tournament members Visser mentioned were junior Cheryl Hill, sophomore Cathy Lowe, and sophomore Kay Sorg. Besides Bolinger, the team only loses senior Nancy Steele, so a crop of veterans will return to lead the Cardinals in 1977- 78. “This year was a learning experience for all of us,’ said Visser.

Pitching and defense were strong for the Cardinal women’s softball team, but the squad was plagued by problems at the plate. As a result, the Cardinals ended their regular season with a 10-6 record, and were eliminated in round two of the state tournament. Maggie Hendrix of Kokomo had a good season in her third year of pitching for the Cardinals. Ending the season with a 5-2 record, Hendrix allowed 16 walks and 28 hits, and struck out 29. Hendrix was the winning pitcher in Ball State’s 7-3 win over Ohio State April 9, their 8-1 win against Ohio University April 16, the 9-5 win over Eastern Illinois, April 23, the 16-10 defeat of Purdue April 27, and the 12-0 shutout of Northwestern April 29. Cyndy Bleeke, a junior from Decatur, pitched eight games for the Cardinals, winning half of them. Bleeke pitched an 8-0 shutout against IUPUI April 7, a 9-7 blitz of Franklin College April 14, a 5-4 decision over Ohio University in the se- cond game of a doubleheader April 16, and an 8-2 defeat of Taylor University two days later. Renee Van Gorp, a sophomore from Highland, pitched a 10-9 win over Taylor in a doubleheader April 18. Van Gorp was cited by Coach Sandra Stultz as ‘‘an outstanding utility player.” The leading hitter for the Cardinals this year was Sandy Lounsbury of Muncie, who finished the regular season with a .435. In addition to solid hitting all year, Lounsbury was a big factor in the Car- dinals’ strong defense from her outfield position. Karen Merchant, a sophomore from Ft. Wayne, was the team’s number two hitter with a .384. Merchant played catcher for Ball State. Jackie Lane of Harrison, who placed fourth in the nation in hitting in 1975, batted .371 for the Cardinals this year and had an outstanding defensive season in the outfield. The team finished its regular season with a .305 batting average and an average of three errors per game. The Cardinals were shut out twice in the state tournament May 6-7 at Indiana Universi- ty. Purdue defeated the Cardinals 5-0 and 1.U. handed them a 10-Oloss. Head Softball Coach Sandy Stultz issues some last minute instructions to her squad before they take the field.

Although Sheets was the only national qualifier, Coach Sharon Burgess felt the season was successful in building ex- perience and confidence for the young = ‘It was a building season. The women have potential, but they need- ed the experience to develop.” — Coach Sharon Burgess Judy Sheets adds a respectable high jump per- formance to her pentathlon score. Sheets qualified for the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for | Women (AIAW) National Track and Field Meet in the pentathlon event while setting a BSU shot put ; team. Burgess, in her first year as Ball State’s | women’s track coach, was assisted by | Georgia Nesladek, Mindy Mueller, and Janet Anania. Burgess formerly was ! assistant track coach at Florida State University where she held school records in the 880, mile, and two mile runs from 1969 to 1973. The Cardinals opened their practice season March 8. By April 2, with only three weeks of conditioning and workouts, the Ball State women met their first contenders in the Ball State Invita- tional. Eight teams vied for top honors, but Il- linois State led the competition with a score of 90 points. Purdue University and Indiana State University tied for second | place positions while Ball State placed fourth with a score of 25. Pattie Mannies, the lone Cardinal senior, led the way for the team with two first place finishes in the 440-dash and the 400-meter hurdles, while running the anchor legs of two relays. Mannies was forced to sit out the rest of the season as a result of a pulled hamstring suffered during practice. Said ) Coach Burgess, ‘‘Pattie’s injury was a great loss to the total strength of the | team. They had to work a lot harder without her in the competition.” The Ohio State Invitational left Ball State finishing fifth out of eight teams competing, with the University of Ken- tucky winning the meet. Judy Sheets returned to competition after being sidelined with the flu grabbing a third place finish in the high jump. and sixth place in the long jump. In the javelin competition, Charlene Wells placed fourth, with Suzi Nolting in the high jump, Carolyn Foreman in the 800-meter run, and Anita Webb in the 3000-meter run picking up fifth place finishes. The mile relay team of Linda Bietry, Stephanie Knox, Donna Puckett, and Mary Morrison also managed a fifth place finish. The Cardinals had a pair of first place winners and placed second against six teams in the Indiana State Invitational. Carolyn Foreman won the 880-yard run record in the process. 4! cte Women’s Track FRONT ROW: Trainer Nan Ehrsam, Donna Puckett, Mary Morrison, Betsy Kappes, Linda Bietry, Janet Garner, April Walker, Assistant Coach Mindy Mueller.

For the Cardinals, the season was over because the last scheduled home meet was cancelled due to rain. Only Sheets managed to register for the Illinois State Invitational where she qualified for the pentathlion with a score of 3,320 points to top the qualitying standard of 3,200. The grueling pentathlon consists of the high jump, long jump, shot put, 100-meter hurdles, and 800-meter run. Coach Burgess said, “Judy is our best high jumper, long jumper, shot putter, and hurdler on the team. She’s just a natural athlete.” ei Women’s Track Obviously o o Ko at 6-8 “We had no time to work on harder tricks; we had to keep putting into what they had, trying to get clean routines, rather than get tough new tricks.’ — C oach Georgia Nesladek For women’s gymnastic coach Sharon Burgess and assistant Georgia Nesladek, the most important aspect of the team’s 6-8 season was the progressive display of improvement throughout the course of the year. The Cardinal gymnast’s team score went from 102.5 in the first meet to a 120 in the season finale—nearly an 18 point difference. Much improvement was simp- ly due to, ‘the girls gaining their con- fidence,’’ claimed Nesladek. “We started out the season against some really tough competition, like Bowl- ing Green and Kent State,”’ said Nesladek. ‘‘Then we got into more triangulars and the bigger meets, where the competition was a little more on our level. After we started winning, the scores got better and better.”’ “They (the gymnasts) finally decided they could improve and worked harder and harder on conditioning,’’ she con- tinued. The practice limitation of eight hours of gym time a week hurt the team at the beginning of the season when the first- year coaches were assessing their talent, Burgess said. By mid-season, organiza- tion of practices was better. but the restriction was still a thorn in the coaches’ sides. “We had no time to work on harder tricks,’ explained Nesladek. ‘‘We had to keep putting into what they had, trying to get clean routines, rather than get tough new tricks.” Nearly every opponent on the Car- dinals’ schedule works at gymnastics as a year-round sport, Burgess added. Lynn Caffee, a freshman with a pixie style reminiscent of Olga Korbut, was the standout performer for the team. The 4'11 gymnast from Carmel was the Car- dinals’ only participant in the all-around event and consistently scored high in the other three events as well. “Lynn’s a_ real show-girl,’’ said Burgess. ‘’She has a great attitude, and it had a lot to do with her high scores. If she fell off the beam or made a mistake in her floor routine, she would still finish — and with a big smile on her face, too.”’ Other top performers were sophomore Jan Haines in vaulting and on the balance beam, senior Sue McLellan and sophomores Leslie Sanders and Kathy Gysin on the parallel bars, and junior Peggy Banning and senior Lisa Fordyce in the floor exercises. Fordyce endured the pain of a dislocated arm much of the season, and then fell ‘off the balance beam doing a front-walk-over in the final home meet, dislocating her elbow. ‘She had such dedication,’’” commented Nesladek. According to Nesladek and Burgess, the Cardinals’ weakest event was the all- around. “‘In order to go to regionals you need four all-around girls. We only had one. We had a lot of people who worked three events, but who were weak on a fourth event. There, again, with the time element, we didn’t want to push them in- to a fourth,” said Nesladek. The women gymnasts finished strong, with victories over the University of Ken- tucky, St. Joseph’s, and Illinois State in the last three meets. In the MAIAW regional, Caffee was the only girl to place. Her 8.3 score in the floor exercise was enough to make the top twenty, but didn’t qualify her for nationals. Poised performance...a Cardinal gymnast demonstrates the graceful results of hours of grin- ding practice on the beam--results that made the Cardinals victorious in six out of eight meets. Strength, coordination and.grace combine to make a difficult move appear easy as Lynn Caffee per- forms a straddle seat on.the balance beam. The balance beam is only four inches wide, so there is no leeway for any errors at all. : 190} _ Gymnastics Women's WOMEN’S GYMNASTICS RESULTS Bowling Green 126.30, BALL STATE 102.25 Kent State 132.55, Miami of Ohio 106.9, BALL STATE 104.55 Western ‘Illinois 124.9, BALL STATE 117.2, SE.

Sound like a fancy football play? No, it was more like the powerful fastbreak of L.J. Stone, winners of the University In- tramural Basketball Championship with a convincing 60-39 victory over the Sigma Chi Sigs. Unleashing its wicked fastbreak for the second straight year, L.J. Stone repeated as champs in the intramural sport which perenially draws more par- ticipants (this year it drew 3,495 people) than any other on campus. After an early lead, L.J. Stone was never really challenged, a practice the team had a habit of doing throughout the season. “We had a good year,” said L.J. Stone’s coach, Bill Johnson. “I'd say we won most of our games by 15 to 20 points. “We knew that because of our size we could rebound with anybody. That is why we developed the fastbreak,” said Johnson. L.J. Stone averaged nearly 63” in height, with all but two of the players able to dunk the basketball. The team had an impressive line-up of athletic talent, also. Jim Thompson and Dave Freeman were starters on the Cardinal football team, while Wes Lyon, Dave Hamilton and Craig Schafer all either currently play or played volleyball for the Cardinal volleyball team. Lyon, in fact, is an All- American in the sport. The Sigs had more than their share of bad luck, however, in facing L.J. Stone. They lost their big center to a twisted ankle in an earlier game, and dressed only five players for the championship. Then, with less than one minute remaining, Rick Skiles (who with his brother Bruce shared the team’s individual scoring honors with 12 points) fouled out and the Sigs were forced to play with only four men. Wes Lyon of L.J. Stone led all scorers with 18 points. To reach the finals, L.J. Stone whipped Tarques for the Open Championship, 55- 42. Purple Haze beat Horizon II, 49-39 for the Residence Hall Championship, Hounds took the Wons, 53-38, for the In- dependent Championship, and Sigma Chi Sigs defeated brothers Sigma Chi Skiers, 43-26, for the Fraternity Championship. In the University Semifinals, it was L.J. Stone over the Hounds, 55-48 and Sigma Chi Sigs past Purple Haze, 45-36. Basketball was the intramural sport with the most participants, but those without a taste for basketball had a wide variety of other sports in which to par- ticipate— everything from bowling to a Mr. Ball State physique contest.

In semi-final action, the Spartan Spikers, an independent team, won by forfeit over the Blind Lemons and the Sig Ep Steins overwhelmed the Beta Griffins, 15-5 and 15-4. Sig Ep Stein team members include Joe Chapman, Kim Martin, Dave Hoover and Tom Avila. For the third straight year an interna- tional team took the Soccer champion- ship as International S.C. clipped Sigma Chi Sigs, 1-0. The same score decided both team’s sem-final matches, with the International S.C. defeating Alizarian Yellow and Sigma Chi Sigs edging the Delt Eagles.

Taylor Oliver and His teammates, the Non-Faculty Striders, repeated as cham- pions in the annual intramural cross coun- try meet. Oliver set an intramural record time of 14:19 over the three mile course. Placing four men in the top eight posi- tions, the Striders easily outdistanced second-place Staff's Boys, 76-24. The Striders’ Joe Sherman finished third (14:40), Ed Miller fifth (15:37) and Ron Thomson eighth (15:40). Other members included Mark Zachary, Frank Brinkman and Carol Kruse. more Ae Intramurals The intensity increases as the competition becomes a bit stiffer. Here the Sigma Nu Cobras work diligently toward a goal of the campus cham- pionship in the title matchup in the co-ed basketball program. Competitive compromise Sumthin’, comprised of Bryce Coryea, De nny Yoder, Greg Noel, Ron Conant and John Niespodziany, won the Univer- sity golf championship with a score of 609. Individual standings for the 36-hole tournament were: first, Jeff Stewart with a 141; second, Mike Landram with a 142; third, Bryce Coryea with a 144; fourth, Rick Milhelic with a 144 and fifth, Brian Sears with a 146. Winning a 26-22 game over the Lakers gave James Gang the Co-ed Basketball championship. James Gang also squeak- ed by the Kappa Kittens, 26-24 in the semi-finals. The ‘‘Gang’’ members were Jim Brown, Jim Thomas, Lori Probasco, Bonnie Batrich, Ben Darter, Sheryl Ken- ny, Eileen Scanlon and Nancy Steel. In Co-ed football, Neeley Ave. Tigers burned Menk 2, 6-0 for the University championship. It was Menk over the Sigma Chi Arrows, 7-6 and Neeley Ave. Tigers crowning the Phi Sig Knights, 12-6 in semi-final contests. Neeley Ave. Tiger members include Patti Mannies, Tim Hollabaugh, Carol Kruse, Kim Shaver, Jerry Cook, John Gennett, Mary Du- quaine, Dave Kindig and Paul Kelley. Coed basketball has caught on at this campus in the last few years. An innovation by Intramural Director Jack Kovell, the program has gained by leaps and bounds. No longer is basketball a ‘‘segregated’’ sport. For the first time in intramural competi- tion horseshoes was offered as an event, and Paris Seibold grabbed the _ initial championship. Seibold outclassed run- nerup Jim Dickerson, (6-0). Steve James fell to Dickerson, 6-0, and Dave Schakel dropped his match to Seibold, 6-0, during the semifinals. Dickerson was also the bridesmaidlinstead of the bride in raquet- ball, another sport in its first intramural year. John Marconnit won the best of three championship, 21-10, 5-21, and 21- 18. Semi final scores were Dickerson over John Burke, 21-8, 21-12 and Marconnit over Nick Siomos, 21-16, 21-13. In the frisbee championship, Dirk DeWolfe once again proved his com- petence with the disk as he repeated as University champion. DeWolfe racked up 19 points, three better than the amount he compiled in 1975. Rounding out the top eight finishers were Bob Dowd (18.5 score), Ken Zuber (18), Gary Baltzell (14.5), Bob Huston (12), Larry Shead (11), Kim Hall (10.5) and Chris Carson (8). WINTER Aside from L.J. Stone capturing the basketball championship, there were thir- teen other champions in winter intramural sports. In bowling, Highballers rolled up an im- pressive 2051 points for the champion- ship. Second was Clevenger Whip with 1887 points, followed by Wagoner Kegler’s 1872 and the Beta Griffin’s 1794. Highballers were comprised of Mark Lit- tle, Enrique Raradis, Jim Stokes, Rick Nel and Randy Gray. The Indy Legs outgrappled its op- ponents for the team wrestling champion- ship. Team members include Jim Geel, Mike Pasierb, Mike Walker, Chris Atkin- son, Duboris Dickerson, Mike Calhoun, Jeff DeWitt, Jim Johnson, and Gerald Benjamin. Individual winners and _ their respective weight classes were: Allen Baskett (123 Ib.), Mark Langenbacher (130 Ib.), Jeff DeWitt (137 Ib.), Ted Buehl (147 Ib.), Andrew Corn (157 Ib.), Dan Ed- wards (167 Ib.), Dave Scheidler (177 Ib.), Chris Atkinson (191 Ib.), Doug Mock 220 Ib.) and Mike Pizzola (heavyweight). more... __| 199 Intramurals | 200 | Intramurals A new sport is emerging at Ball State— Hockey.

Competitive compromise “Because of the large participation, this has been a big year. It has made the program interesting, with relatively few problems.’ — Intramural Director Jack Kovell Intramurals 205 Naturally entwining crossroads, the well-worn trails of the older section of campus connected more than a tree-filled section of grass and trees. The trails con- nected the academic buildings themselves, _ the very core reason of our presence at Ball State. Each led to another building, each led to another channel of learning, another individual’s chosen focus of lifestyle. Yet, they all cross, these academic trails, making possible a hundred different turns to arrive at the same building — a hundred different deci- - sions and experiences along the way. . .

Crossing over to the other —- fj side of the desk, Sharon supplements her own ; academic experiences while strengthening the Ie abilities of students deficient in writing skills. si A college education is part of the great American dream—a dream that may be fizzling out. Reports of “inflated grading” and “‘deflated ability’ circulate throughout the United States as our public education system comes under heavy fire. Are students of the ‘70’s actually learning less in col- lege.than ever before? If so, preparation may be part of the problem. According to TIME magazine’s March 1975 issue, there is evidence to support the contention that U.S. public school students are learning less now than ten years ago. This evidence comes in the form of falling Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) scores—a plunge of 44 points on the average verbal score and 30 points on the average math score. This puts the national average at 440 verbal points and 478 math out of a possible 800 points. “The reason for the drop,’’ says Sam McCandless, director of admissions testing for the College Entrance Examination Board (CEEB), “‘is a decline in students’ developed reasoning ability.” Some educators place the blame on television, but some responsibility goes toward the schools themselves. There are diverse opinions on whether this downward trend in the quality of education exists at Ball State University. Ball State’s average SAT score for incoming freshmen supports the national downward trend. The scores are below the national norm of 440—430 verbal and math. Forty per cent of the incoming freshmen score below 400 on their verbal SAT’s and only 3 per cent exceed a score of 600. “A good part of this problem,’’ said Dr. Joseph Trim- mer, director of general studies in English, ‘stems from the fact that students do not read outside of the classroom.”’ Today’s educational philosophy is quite different from that of the past. ‘‘Where once education was sought for its own sake—knowledge,”’ said Dr. Trimmer, ‘‘now, it is only a means to an end, that end being a job and money.’’ Ask most students why they are taking a cer- tain course and out comes the inevitable answer, “‘it’s required.’’ Very rarely does someone admit to interest as the sole reason for being in a class. To be sure, tests measure effectiveness. But effec- tiveness in what—memorization? That is not the pur- pose of teaching. Learning should be the ideal purpose of teaching. What exactly is learning? Learning is an important change in behavior and oc- curs best through problem solving and thought pro- Lae Dr. Payne said. ‘’This doesn’t always occur at If you’ve ever thought about it, there really isn’t so much thinking done in our classrooms. Most people are too catatonic to do any of that. Discussion is nonexis- tent in most classrooms and most professors have given up all hope of finding signs of life in students. Maybe that’s why English 103 is so tough; it forces a few thoughts from some people’s brains. So, teaching methods, participation and involvement are essential parts of learning. ‘‘The more senses involv- ed in classes—hearing, seeing, touching, tasting, and smelling—the better understanding achieved,” said Payne. Do you become involved? The traditional grading system used in classes motivates students, but in the wrong direction. Everything is done for the almighty grade. It is becom- ing harder to say whether one ‘’A”’ is equal to another, or exactly what an “’A”’ means. Grade inflation (giving higher grades for inferior work) has been reported in many colleges across the United States. “We are becoming more and more industrialized in education; that is, mass production of graduates and unionization of teachers,” said Dr. Charles Payne, direc- tor of the Multi-Cultural program. Mass production has further implications. The . scholastic standards of most institutions have been for- saken for the sake of increased enrollment. Realization of scholastic standards seems to be the crux of the problem. With lower expectations come the inevitable compromise in the classroom. A 300-level stu- dent cannot perform at the level of a 600 student. As this process is continued during a period of time, the majority of the curriculum becomes at best mediocre. So, the chronology of the problem and its results have been examined. Now, let’s analyze the problem on a more personal level— Ball State. First, take a look at a typical classroom. Classtime more than likely consists of a professor’s lecture. Now, lectures are not to be condemned. However, they are only a minute part of teaching. Because it is a com- munication process, education must consist of understanding on both sides. Lecture is mainly onesided and it is difficult to measure its degree of effectiveness. In the most recent survey of BSU seniors prepared by the Office of Student Affairs Research, four-fifths in- dicated that they were satisfied with the overall quality of their education at this university. Only 3 per cent of the seniors assigned a poor rating to the overall quality of their educational experiences at Ball State. Perhaps being satisfied is not enough. Look at your own experiences. What did you gain? Was it worth it? iy Mysch resident Joyce Erickson finds it takes twice as long to finish a reading assignment when one has to look up many of the words.

Throughout finals week, studiers escaped to kitchenettes, laundry rooms, recreation rooms, and hall stairwells for an hour of quiet concentra- tion. WVho says it takes a worn-out desk, a dingy light, a wooden chair, three books, and complete silence to study? Does one really study best between the hours of 7 p.m. and 10 p.m.? Are the good studiers the ones who never pro- crastinate? Are the aisles of monstrous Bracken crowded with more diligent studiers than aging books?

Wednesday morning, 5 a.m. Startling the early birds into immediate action, the first alarm clocks begin to ring. Those with advanced calculus tests at 8 a.m. commute to the study lounges to desperately review notes in last-ditch ef- forts for the hopeless ‘’A’’. (Those who have pulled all-nighters are now falling asleep in the showers). Mid-morning (10-12 a.m.) Among the sleepless masses of late-night partiers, the objective observer can now identify several ‘‘studiers’”” here and there. In the last rows of massive general-study lecture classes, students sneakily prepare for the next hour’s upcoming exam.

Studying | BS schwthedn {211 2 pe ereeeentre—y Fifth year architecture student Phil Panzica works on @ project during second summer session. This year the expansion of the department allowed three various areas of study. College of Arch _ Academics: The gist of the matter | “There's a definite shift in attitudes,”’ stated Robert Fisher, chairman of the Department of Architecture. ‘‘In the late sixties, students were more concerned with social issues than professional train- ing. Now it’s the reverse; we have to push students into educational issues because they are very utility-oriented. Our depart- ment strives for a reasonable ground bet- ween the two.”’ Fisher went on to say that the student’s greatest concern is that of getting a job. Several changes have occurred within the department, the greatest one being that the department actually became a department (last year, it was part of a series of programs including architecture, landscape architecture, and urban and regional studies). The internship program was also changed. Instead of each stu- dent leaving for a six month internship during their third year at the same time, students are leaving throughout different quarters. The future architects work extensively on urban projects within surrounding communities. The department is trying to set up local or mobile studios within these communities, allowing students to stay at the site instead of having to return to Ball State. This would also make it more con- venient to travel long distances. Special recognition has gone to several faculty members. Anthony J. Costello received the Eli Lilly Open Fellowship Award and the American Institute of Ar- chitects Award (which was given for his work on the Centerville master plan).

Since then, the School of Architecture has divided into three separate departments in- cluding architecture, landscape, and urban and regional planning. Those who stereotype top administrators as liv- ing in sprawling mansions driving to school every day in polished Mercedes Benz’s might as well forget it. As dean of the College of Architecture, Charles Sappenfield certainly doesn’t own a Mercedes—in fact, many people don’t even know what kind of car he drives because he usually rides his bi ke to school. (Just as a note of trivia,, the dean owns a ’67 four-door convertable Lincoln —talk about dissolving a stereotype!) Sappenfield, his wife Mary Francis, and two children live two blocks from campus. ‘I! look toward the college as the unique thing about our family,’ Sappenfield said, adding that his children are part of Ball State since they attend Burris School. The dean has been at Ball State since the Col- lege of Architecture was founded in 1965. Since its doors first opened, Sappenfield has seen the school develop into three separate departments: architecture, landscape, and urban and regional planning. Prior to ‘65, Sappenfield attended North Carolina State University and the Royal Academy of Denmark, where he graduated in 1960. 4 Personal profile ee pels College of | Arch | td Pe 3 . - % Fee A ‘2 . a . aoe Ns - . nad ne oY.) 3 8 : .

The object was to toss the balloonfrom the Ar- chitecture Building into the structure without the Project breaking. If the structure didn’t break, the designer received an “A” in the class. r The Department of Landscape Ar- chitecture is a cozy little department; since there are only 40 students, most everybody is relating on a first-name basis. The department has greatly ex- panded within the past five years however. In 1972, there were only 10 students. “We anticipate the continued moderate growth of the program,” said John Russell, department chairman. ‘All signs point to continued awareness of Landa- scape Architecture at both the graduate and undergraduate levels.’’ Russell ex- plained that several department members are concerned about having an iden- tifiable department within the university. “We want stable facilities,” he said. “It’s important for the students to have a sense of security, an image.’’ The depart- ment is working on a slight modification of the undergraduate curriculum which would involve reorganization of courses, 214 sr Landscape Arch. new course descriptions, and a re- evaluation of the department’s philosophy. A new graduate program is also in the planning stages. Russell feels that curriculum content is the primary concern of the Department of Landscape Architecture. “We have to show the relevance of information and apply that information as a foundation for future experiences,” he said. Although student quantity was low, student quality was extremely fine partial- ly due to a variety of indepth programs and respected guest speakers. Guest faculty member Don Walker brought 13 years of teaching experience to the pro- gram in design and landscape engineer- ing. New research projects involved audio-tutorial and accelerated learning packages, and housing projects in new towns which formed the basis for a course taught in Indianapolis next fall. Faculty member Joe Cascio did research centering on computerization in relation to plant selection. Professors Stan Geda and Jim Anderson set up the Land Plus West firm in Muncie. John Russell and Dr. David Johnson worked on the Indiana Central Zone Management Project which _ involved developing a first stage program for aesthetic assessment, making recommen- dations after reviewing and critiquing the research of other sub-contractors. Directed by the Indiana State Planning Services Agency, the project resulted in a set of policy statements for the manage- ment of the coastal zone regions as it relates to natural and man-made facilities. Russell feels that student attitudes have changed since the department was first set up. ‘‘Students are becoming the ‘traditional professionals,’ ’’ he said. “They are interested in natural systems and ecology, and have a strong interest in urban problems. A higher criteria from freshman selection is reflected.” “Landscape architecture? What's that?’” — a question asked by students involved in everything but the new-department. “We need to have an identity within the univer- sity; people need to know we're here!’’ — a con- cern voiced by one of the 40 students who com- prise the Department of Landscape Architecture. That's right — only 40 students. But those 40 students are involved in one of the roughest cur- riculums on campus. Social life? ‘“Very limited,’ according to third year student Mike Lattner, “because of the tremendous amount of time spent on design, research, and catching up on sleep.” Although the courses are a lot of sweat, Mike likes the department because of the enthusiasm among the professors and students. “The courses ‘have broadened my awareness of the environ- ment and its effect on the public and their needs,” he said. ‘‘Landscape architecture opened up a whole new outlook on the development of socie- ty’s attitude toward the outdoors.” Mike also feels that the department places more emphasis on the designing aspects rather than the technical ones. “‘I like the fact that the department pools talents to produce a well-rounded exposure to the professional outside world.” The landscape student agrees there is a need for outsiders to become aware of the landscape program. He feels there could be a better coopera- tion between the department and the university to create a more pleasing environment. “We could use a tighter, more well-thought-out curriculum,” he said. ‘‘Sometimes | think that more attention has been shown toward land- scape in the past.” 44 gesigi Lack of identity design procedure elements, including the financial considerations involved in different stages of plan- ning. _ Academics: The gist of the matter “The department here is a very good, informal environment for learning,’’ he said. The close association between the student and professors provides an ex- cellent incentive for such learning.”’ The faculty consists of one part-time and four full-time professors, three of which were added this year. Some of the faculty members have a contract with the state of Indiana to assist in the develop- ment of housing projects and goals for the state. Dr. Francis Parker, who has a university research grant to survey railroad stations in Indiana for possible preservation and reuse, has written an ar- ticle on this subject entitled ‘Railroad Planning: Crisis and Opportunity.’ Dr. Johnson emphasizes the close association between the Department of Urban and Regional Planning and other departments in the university. The plann- ing department has recently crossed lines with the Department of Landscape Ar- chitecture by conducting research con- cerning coastal zone management for the 47-mile Indiana coastline along Lake Michigan. Since 1975, the Department of Urban and Regional Planning has grown from three to sixteen students presently enroll- ed in the program. Students come from a variety of undergraduate backgrounds, including the social sciences, business, and design. This past fall, members of the program participated in a planning project for the community of New Castle. Ac- tivities such as this, along with an established internship program whereby students work for one quarter in a plann- ing area, allow students to supplement their academic experience with practical application. Ball State is the only school in Indiana that offers a professional program in ur- ban and regional planning. The program is now in its second year of existence after receiving degree authorization in 1973. The first student to complete the pro- gram, John Murphy, received his degree this spring of ‘77 and held the position of acting director of the Madison County Council of Governments in Anderson. Employment opportunies such as these are available with state and local planning agencies. Rob Wenger, presently in his first year of graduate study, entered the program with an undergraduate degree in geography and is concerned primarily with preservation planning. With historic preservation as his minor, Rob feels that urban renewal has failed in the cities and believes that preservation planning is an alternative solution to the problems of ur- ban communities Academics: The gist of the matter Didn’t Shakespeare once write, “What's in a name?” Norbert Elbert, a two-year member of the College of Business faculty feels that, indeed, a good name is important to a university. “We have it a bit rougher,’’ he smiled, “with a name like Ball State.” Yet this often-joked-about matter is really a serious problem. ‘National recognition comes after respect,’’ Elbert feels, ‘’and respect is hard to come by, especially for mw US. Yet the Ball State College of Business is up for accreditation this year. And hopefully, if granted, this will be-a step- ping stone to what Elbert feels is so essential—enough respect to make the Ball State College of Business nationally recognized! And this gaining of accreditation for the College is no unrealistic fantasy either. Students feel that in the last few years the department has ‘‘been moving in the right direction.”” Their professors have ‘‘really become involved in research—writing books and all,’’ and “good classes have been added to the curriculum lately.” With five departments and soon-to-be six within the college, one would expect a communication gap to exist, especially when considering the lack of proximity problem. Richard Kelly, chairman of the Business Education and Office Education depart- ment within the college explained this lack of proximity. ‘“‘Not only are we separated by buildings, but the college itself is divided into Marketing, Accoun- ting, Economics, Business Education and Office Education, and Finance and Management which will divide sometime this year to become two entities, Finance, and Management.” Though the college is so diversified, professor Ronald Sparling sees the over- all faculty as a very “‘cohesive and affable, group, and very cooperative.” ‘’This,”’ Elbert adds, “is the result of excellent leadership, excellent chairmanship of the departments, and most importantly, an excellent dean of the College of Business itself, Dean Black.” What's in the name, ‘‘Dean Joseph B. Black, Jr.?’’ Students and faculty members agree, ‘‘Respect. Respect for what Dean Black has done and for what he is continuing to do to gain recognition for the College of Business at Ball State University!”’ Shales resident Mark Downham completes an assignment in one of his business accounting Classes. The Department of Accounting was one of five departments in the College of Business, which was up for accreditation this academic year. 216] College of Business Easily distinguished by its army barracks ap- pearance, the College of Business houses most of the upper-level business courses. Professor Michael Engber’s Business Law class is one of the undergraduate courses held in the older building. Engrossed in a Management 380 lecture, sophomore Lisa Hayes is one of 1,000 students affected by the split in the Department of Finance and Manage- ment. In order to serve business students more ef- fectively, the department divided into the Depart- ment of Finance and the Department of Manage- ment Finances. There are simply not enough hours in the day for Joseph Black, dean of the College of Business. His average day begins with a two mile ride to campus on his 350 four-cylinder Honda from his home west of Muncie, and doesn’t end until the final appointment, meeting, conference, or planning session hours later. “| ride about five or six thousand miles a year,” the dean said. Some of miles have been to night classes he teaches in Kokomo, Pendelton, and “wherever they let me go.” Black is not the only member of his family in- volved in university affairs. His son Jay is a Ball State senior; Bill, a BSU masters degree can- didate; and Doug, a Burris sophomore. (His wife Sue must hear a lot about Ball State University! ). As dean of the business college, Black regrets he doesn’t have more time to actually teach. “‘l don’t get to teach as much as I'd like to,” he said. “| really enjoy working with young people.” Before working at the university, Dean Black spent ten years in the lumber and construction business. However, the occupation lost its appeal, and the dean discovered that he wanted the “challenge | could have in higher education.” Four of his eleven years as a university dean have been spent at Ball State. Dr. Black brought a rich variety of background experienc es to his office, having been a former in- ternational consultant. During the 1964-65 academic year, he was financial advisor to the president of Salvador. The educator believes the main purpose of a university dean is to facilitate the main interests of the students and faculty. ‘“The most important thing at Ball State is the students... It was a year of awards and articles, memorable recognitions and special ap- pointments for those involved in the Department of Accounting. Heading the list of recognized faculty members, department head Paul Parkison received the Joseph B. Award for outstanding ser- vice with the placement office. The chair- man was also appointed by Governor Bowen to the State Board of Public Ac- countancy. Publishing articles in professional business journals, Arnold Cirtin, Gary Saunders, George Hanks, and Terry Arn- dt also gained recognition for the depart- ment. Senior Pat Weigle was named the Outstanding Graduating Senior in Ac- counting. According to Parkison, an enrollment of 971 accounting majors was quite an in- crease compared to four years ago. He said that students get to know other ac- counting majors and faculty members through the departmental accounting club. The organization put on a variety of programs featuring outside speakers and held the annual banquet spring quarter. Parkison said that the department's graduates usually go to work for Certified Public Accounting firms, industries, and government departments. See Highly respected by students as wel as faculty members, Dean Joseph Black enjoys teaching and wishes he had more time for it. The dean did have the opportunity to teach some classes in Kokomo and Pendleton. {217 Accounting | STC National economy and unemployment problems led to an increase of enrollment in the Department of Economics ac- cording to Dr. Clarence Deitsch, ad- ministrative assistant to the department chairman. “There is a general interest in econ due to a bad economy and unemployment,’ Deitsch said. “‘When things go bad with the economy, people want to find out why.’’ Deitsch explained the department expanded during the 1976-77 school year, offering subjects related to problems fac- ing the United States at the time. “Major problems facing society today can be explained economically looking,”’ he said and mentioned the department of- fered classes in energy, pollution, and en- vironmental areas. Economics 111, a special class dealing with the problems of the big city ghettos, exposed the economical problems of the ‘‘harlems’’ to more vocationally oriented course of Study,’’ he explained and pointed out that study in economy could help in acquiring a job before study in a foreign language would. ‘There is a general status level of economy.” “They (the faculty) are very active in their areas of interest,’’ Deitsch said. Most of the professors were engaged in consulting and research. ‘They are recognized as experts in their areas of in- terests.”’ Among the experts mentioned were Dr. Chu-Yuan Cheng, a major speaker at an energy conservation conference in Nor- way, and Dr. Maurice Girgis, the depart- ment chairman who presented, in Kuwait, a paper on oil producing countries. The special interests of the teachers seeped into the classrooms and attracted the students, according to Deitsch. The center for economic education became Economic students Kelly Cox and Dianna Martin find it easy to get involved in a discussion of current economic and employment problems with instructor George Morgan. Many students take economic courses as electives since it highly focuses on cur- rent affairs and problems. those who hadn’t been faced with such living situations. Deitsch also felt enrollment was on the increase due to the practical uses of economic knowledge. ‘There has been a shift in the country from liberal arts to a active _in sponsoring programs, workshops, and conferences for the general public as well as for the teachers. “Our goal is to offer courses where special problems of an economic nature exist,’” Deitsch said. She’s excited, nervous, and confident. In her left hand she holds the treasured sheepskin, ready to face the working world. With four years of typ- ing, accounting, and shorthand classes behind her, she feels prepared for the awaiting teaching position ahead. Little does she realize that within a matter of years, her shorthand education may be outdated, replaced with an entirely new, more ef- ficient method of note taking. She’s the last of the old-timers... Shorthand students aretossing aside their Gregg Diamond Jubilee Series textbooks and replacing them with Century 21. Throughout the past few years, students have grown accustomed to periodic changes within the Gregg system, but Century 21 will not be a mere updating of the old system; it will involve an entire overhaul of the shorthand curriculum. As Century 21 slowly takes over the nation on a regional basis, Ball State’s Department of Business Education is already taking necessary steps to prepare its students for future teaching positions based on the new system. The transi- tion, however, is going to be a gradual one. As it stands, the department offers five basic courses in shorthand. The first year Century 21 k. goes into effect, only the first shorthand course Ex will be taught in the new system. Throughout the : next four years, one course will be added to the new system until all the courses are based on Cen- tury 21. Several department employees feel students presently enrolled in the traditional Gregg courses may run into employment problems as the Cen- tury 21 evolves. However, they feel students may we take a course or two after graduation to become slowly adapted to the new system, especially those who hope to teach high school shorthand for a number of years. 21 Business Ed.

Economics [219 | | Academics: The Department of Finance and Management saw it’s last year at Ball State in 1977. Due to an increase in enroll- ment over the years, the College of Business prepared to separate the depart- ment into the Department of Manage- ment Sciences and the Department of Finance. “The department will be (officially) divided July 1,’ Dr. Sajjad A. Hashmi, finance and management department chairman, explained. The division in the department will affect more than a thousand students enrolled in finance and management department courses. “It was a very large department,” Hashmi said and explained that the divi- sion would make it easier for the large amount of students to deal with their business areas more directly. ‘We will be able to (better) deal with their special needs.” Enrollment in the department increased somewhat, creating vacancies for eight new instructors. According to the depart- ment secretary, finance majors increased from 16 students in the spring of ‘76 to 57 students in the fall of ‘76; management majors increased from 10 students to 72 students. However, general business ad- ministration majors declined from 1,080 to 1012: “Our department is the second largest (in enrollment) on the campus—next to elementary education,’’ Hashmi said. According to Hashmi, the large enroll- ment in the ‘76-‘77 year may have been due to the department's popular classes. “Personal finance and introduction to business are two of the most popular,’’ he said. ‘Neither is required, but both always full.”’ One of the department majors, Dave Carpenter, won a Bicentennial Scholar contest offered by the College of Business. Based on credentials, speaking, and interviews, the winning scholar later talked to interested prospective students about the College of Business from a stu- dent's point-of-view. Besides the department division and the scholar contest, the Department of Finance and Management co-operated with the College of Business in preparing it for accreditation membership into the American Association of Collegiate Schools of Business. Although the ac- creditation would not be applied for until the following year, the finance and management graduates of ‘77 were prepared for working in banks, govern- ment, hospitals, insurance and finance companies, manufacturing firms, retail- ing, and utilities. 22 Finance, Management An effective Department of Marketing is proving that it is dynamic, not static. The trend is toward relevancy in both courses and extracurricular activities. Marketing students are able to obtain internships in their various areas of study. The internship allows a student to work in the actual business world, dealing with all the problems and pleasures perti- nent to that type of activity. Dr. Vanderleest, assistant professor of marketing, coordinates this program. Activities such as class case presenta- tions to professional societies and student operation of the Ball State Better Business Bureau are typical of the depart- ment’s emphasis on practicality and pro- fessionalism. Several professors in the department have distinguished themselves in their respective fields. Charles Battle received a citation from the American Marketing Association for work he did as president of the organization in 1976. Dr. Bellur Venkatakrishna is presently preparing a marketing research text for a publisher and has had several studies published in professional journals. Another marketing professor, Dr. Thomas Baird, is teaching public administration at an Air Force base in Spain in connection with Ball State’s overseas program. Students in the department can belong to Student Marketing Association (SMA). Headed by Christy Woods, — senior marketing major, SMA features speakers, field trips, and social activities. During winter quarter, the club took a field trip to Cincinnati to study various marketing operations in the area. _ As chairman of the Di ‘ «Management, Dr. Sajj ment will divide into July.

Aside from his association with SMA, When Barry Rigby graduates from Ball State the spring of ‘77, he will take a lot of good memories about the department he completed his major in. Most of those memories were caused by the professors of the Department of Marketing and the personal atmosphere they have developed. Barry, 22, is a senior with a marketing major and a psychology minor. The Pendleton resident started out at Ball State as an accounting major but found it wasn’t for him. He then got into marketing. “| went into marketing kind of blind and then discovered a little more about it.’’ Barry said of the four options in marketing (general marketing, marketing research, retail management, and advertising sales), he chose sales. “| particularly like sales and I’ve thoroughly en- joyed it. It’s more specialized than | thought,’ he said. ‘It’s really the backbone of any business, in that you have to establish the product, package it properly, and be able to keep a market for it. Everything revolves around sales.”’ Barry has enjoyed the classes in marketing much more simply because of the professors. “The marketing profs are all very knowledgable. They’ve all come from businesses. They're in- teresting to listen to. From what I’ve been able to experience, the professors can all give you the Specialized manager; and Attie Baghestani, graduate assistant. Dr. Battle advised the Better Business Bureau. salesman theories from the book, but they can also teach you the practical aspects of marketing and that's important. Theories don’t always apply to real life.’’ “From catalogues I’ve seen from other univer- sities,’’ he continued, ‘‘I’'d say that our marketing department has one of the better programs. Other universities may be better in some specialized pro- grams, but overall, I'd say Ball State stacks up pretty well.”’ The marketing major believes one of the best aspects of the department is the contacts the pro- fessors and other members of the department with the students. ‘‘“When you get into the marketing department, you have an interview with the head of the department. They set up a marketing counselor for you, a person or prof to turn to for help in deciding what class within the department to take next, and to help you decide what classes best fit your interests.”’ “As you grow in the curriculum,’ Barry con- tinued, ‘you get to be pretty good friends with your counselor. They can get you set up with some pretty good interviews because they know what you’re interested in and what areas you'll be really good in.” “| think there’s a more personal atmosphere here,’’ Barry Rigby concluded. ‘‘It’s not a formal thing between the professors and the students. It’s more of a friendly relationship.’’ Senior Beth ““Chico’’ Samuelson completes a pro- ject within a metals class. According to art depart- ment head Ned Griner, students were very active in exhibiting their projects and researching specific fields of interest. Inside glimpse “Our department is comprised of the ‘doing’ or ‘performing’ departments,”’ stated dean of the College of Fine and Applied Arts Lloyd Nelson. ‘Our philosophy is to stimulate professional preparation and cultural development.” The entire college went through a series of changes throughout the academic year. The Department of Nurs- ing gained re-accreditation and the men’s and women’s physical education depart- ments were in the process of merging into one department. Although the Depart- ment of Men’s Physical Education seem- ed to favor the merge, Women’s Physical Education was not so receptive. Several female coaches and students felt that if there was only one department, 82 per cent of the leadership would be male. In short, the women’s program preferred to remain ‘separate but equal.” Because of Title IX, the university received a letter “strongly urging” the departments to merge. The new regula- tion also affected intercollegiate athletics, the Department of Home Economics, and the Department of Industrial Education and Technology. Dr. Richard Carr, who teaches a course in family enrichment, is the first male faculty member in the home economics department, and_ industrial arts program hired two women graduate assistants, Debra Ewigleben and Julie Scarborough. The College of Fine and Applied Arts also started a new co-op program with seven private independent universities in- - cluding Anderson, Taylor, Huntington, Manchester, Grace, St. Francis in Fort Wayne, and Tri-State. “Through this program we cooperated Lloyd Nelson, who lives five blocks from cam- with friends in higher education and helped out the private colleges with our library and other facilities,’’ explained Dean Nelson. The program is especially developed in the industrial arts (voca- tional training), home economics, and nursing. “Students have a more positive at- titude today; they work harder and are more serious about their education,”’ said Dr. Ned Griner, chairman of the Department of Art. Griner went on to say that within the art department students are mostly concerned about the quality of their education ‘’so that they can effec- tively participate in the area of art they are pursuing.” Within the department, faculty and students worked to comply with the new requirements for teacher education. A new interior design resource room was developed as well as a new gallery collec- tion focusing on ethnicity. As a new academic program, the Department of Art expanded art educa- tion facilities for children’s classes within the Wilson House. Faculty members and students alike were active in exhibition, research, and publication. The art pro- gram was “‘very active’’ according to Griner, and there were ‘‘more people in- volved in studio production than any other area.” Griner feels that the department is well known nationally because of the _in- dividual efforts involved in research and exhibition projects. Special recognition went to Ann Whiteside as an interior designer, painter Barbara Grad, and art education faculty member Ann Lindsey. pus, walks back and forth from his home to Ball State four times each day of the week.

Today, he is the dean of Ball State’s College of Fine and Applied Arts, but still finds some time for extra- curricular activities. ‘| like sailing,” the dean said, “‘and sports of any kind.” He also said he designs furniture.

Reflections off an overhead mirror help him and other art students to catch imperfections and smooth out rough areas. earnes Art Academics: The gist of the matter The Department of Industrial Education and Technology boasts the highest percentage of Ph.D.’s (75 per cent) of any department on the Ball State campus. Says departmental chairman Dr. Edgar Wagner, ‘Our faculty is diversified and deeply involved in state and national pro- fessional organizations. We also have the longest tenure of any dep artment on cam- pus.” But, in that the IED ITE faculty is also all male, it is decidedly behind the times. “We are lookng for women,’ says Dr. Wagner. ‘There is a place for women in all areas of the department. In fact, we would like our next faculty member to be a woman.” Dr. Wagner is also interested in attrac- ting more female students to the pro- gram. Of the approximately 400 students with areas on IED or ITE, only about 20 are women. “Public schools are having a difficult time getting girls interested in industrial arts,’’ Dr. Wagner explains, ‘‘but there are a lot of opportunities opening up in the field for women.” Most of the women the department does have are in the ITE program. This is the line with the depart- mental] shift in emphasis from education to technology. “We're training less teachers and more managers,’’ says Dr. Wagner. “A few years ago, about 80 per cent of our students were education majors, but now we are about even between technology and teaching.” One of the major concerns in the Prac- tical Arts building this year has been preparing for the revised curriculum that wil go into effect in September, 1978. Says Dr. Wagner, ‘There will be some new courses added, and maybe some deletions. There will be quite a bit of dif- ference, but we intend to communicate with the students as much as possible on what the changes are. That is a must.” According to Jeanette Miller, depart- ment chairperson, many students are not aware of exactly what the Department of Home Economics can offer. Said Miller, “We are often stereotyped as household drudges, all cooking and sewing and nothing else. Actually, we offer majors in dietetics, fashion coordinating, and food management (a two-year program) as well as the standard departmental and teaching majors.”’ “‘Today,’’ said Miller, ‘‘home economi cs involves many disiplines in- cluding psychology, sociology, health, consumer education, and design. ‘’We try to integrate all these elements toward the ultimate goal of improved family living.” Students gain an education outside the classroom as well as in. The department sponsors many practicum courses in- cluding the home management program. Directed by Ellen Lacey, assistant pro- fessor of home economics, the home Management program provides students with a chance to use all their learned skills. When participating in the program, the students live in two complexes, the Brock House and the Mobile Home, for one quarter. Clubs for the department include the Mary Beeman Club (named after the past department chairperson), the dietetics club, and professional honorary, Phi Ep- silon Omicron. Several of the department’s 18 faculty members are involved in some type of research. One project in the works is measuring algae’s potential as a protein substitute and then making it palatable. Continuing education programs are also available. Courses in tailoring, the use of microwave ovens, diet therapy, marriage counseling, and marriage preparation are offered. A freshman from Woodburn, Indiana, Jeff Doehrman sets some plastic molds in an industrial arts class. Department head Edgar Wagner stressed the classes are ‘‘training less teachers and more managers.” FLEX BL fo) She’s proud, strong, and opinionated. But don’t let that fool you. This 94-pound woman is special because she is a fighter — she had a glimpse of a dream and chased it. Underneath that yellow leotard and behind those often critical coal-brown eyes, there was a yesterday (or should one say there IS a yesterday) just as fragile and fresh as this once prima ballerina — Madame ELENA IMAZ Bourgeot, now assistant professor of ballet. She darted across the wooden floor, snapping criticisms as her advanced students gripped the floor with their toes, straining to hold ‘en releve and arabesque penchee. “‘Madame, always eager to criticize but reluc- tant to praise,”’ tisked her students, but with an air of discipline and respect. A huge studio mirror relected every movement. Madame dashed out of the room, returning with a leather bound scrap book filled with newspaper clippings, programs and pictures from 52 coun- tries across the world: the European and Asian na- tions, North Africa, Latin America and the Hawaiian islands. From the pages a flushed, dark complexioned, mellow-eyed and_ invigorating prima ballaerina smiled; as the pages and years flipped by, Madame Bourgeot remembered... She first started dancing at the age of nine when doctors prescribed ballet as good therapy for her anemia. Not only in those early years, but throughout her career, Elena Imaz Bourgeot’s father, “‘an artistic man who loved the beautiful things in life — classical music, painting, and operas,” is the one who inspired and encouraged her. Since then, Madame has studied ballet with an intrinsic romanticism and passion. “| knew what | wanted from the beginning,” Bourgeot replied matter-of-factly. Her teachers were tough; they knew Elena Imaz was talented and that with perseverance she could develop. She danced with Buenos Aires and San Fran- courses. tries. cisco Opera Houses and several times performed as guest artist in the Lile Opera House in France. Despite many haunting nightmares and queasy stomachs, once on stage this ballerina never forgot a step. However, she was once suspended from the opera for tasteless laughter. During one performance the lead singer was clad in an unusual costume ornamented with ‘‘many golden and beautiful tassles.’’ When his powerful voice filled the theatre, its deep tones spurred the tassles into an impromtu jig. From the back of the stage where the ballerinas were posing, the tassles looked ridiculous. “We bit our lips and tried, but we absolutely could not resist; there was contagious laughter everywhere,’ exclaimed Madame Bourgeot. ‘‘It was very embarrassing—no pay, no salary for 15 days.” Madame experienced financial worries, as any artist does, but she refused to give up her career, or even think of it. “I tightened my belt, ate less, spent no money, and tried to get a contract,’’ she said. Plodding persistance won Elena Imaz fame, but she sacrificed much for her art. ‘’I had little time to frequent other people because of the opera,” Bourgeot said. ‘‘Any real friends were those made there.”’ For the past seven years, Madame Bourgeot has been adopting herself to the system of teaching in a university. She finds it discouraging. “A real ballerina is opposed to this system,’’ she said. Compared to her strict training in Buenos Aires, Madame says there is a different mentality in the United States—students think teachers are servants just because they pay tuition. Most students are not serious about ballet and are very sensitive to criticism, Bourgeot said. Madame has the reputation of pushing students, especially majors or minors. ‘’Oh, the good ones, they never mind criticism; they know it is for their good,’’ she said warmly. 4 Pushing for perfectio Ed.

With a new 54-hour certification law effective in the near future, the Department of Library Science is adding courses in the use of media resources. Whitcraft resident Dan Fortlander utilizes material learned from textbooks and practice while perform- ing in Concert Band. Aside from musical organiza- tions, private lessons in piano, voice, ballet, and other instruments were offered in the School of Music. The usual stereotype that all librarians are 101 years old, wear glasses, and memorize the position of every classic on the shelves has given way to a new breed of students within the Department of Library Science who are learnng how their future professions have been up- dated through modern technology. Mrs. Rosamond Wetmore, ad- ministrative assistant to the chairman, ex- plained, ‘Library Science is a new profes- sion. People don’t understand the real possibilities offered by the department and a career in information science.” Library Science With the tremendous outpour of resources, a librarian’s job has become more and more complex. A new certifica- tion law, effective in the fall of 1978, will require a 54-hour major instead of the now needed 36-hour minor for future librarians. Due to this, the department is designing additional courses in utiliza- tion of media resources and in the use of a computer terminal for bibliographic researching in the Ohio College Library Center data base. Hoping to earn a masters in library Science and improve their knowledge of technology advances, a great many of those studying in the department are part- time students and working librarians. The graduate program includes courses in geography and geology for specialized map librarians, histories of libraries and literature, and of multi-media and non- print materials. Undergraduates working to become media experts can obtain a teaching minor and an endorsement in school library and audio-visual services. Besides the basics, practical experience includes student teaching in elementary and secondary school libraries. if Disney World, in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, is an example of ‘‘Keep America Beautiful’ fan- tasyland. There is no litter, and there are miles of clean cement sidewalks and sparkling shiny everything. The office of University Singers Direc- tor Larry Boye is quite the opposite, with a blue ladder leaning up against the bookshelves and photographs of University Singers all over the ceil- ing. What do these two places have in common? Perhaps the missing link is tied in with a wrinkled Mickey Mouse poster on Boye’s office door. Boye serves as Choral Consultant to Walt Disney Productions, and is based at Disney World in the summers. As director of the All-American College Singers, Boye scans the nation and audi- tions many college freshmen, sophomores, and juniors. Twenty-four students are then chosen to spend the summer in the sun and fun. ‘’No one is seen in rehearsal at the Disney theme park,”’ stated Boye, “The second week we are there is spent practic ing after the park closes, our music blending in harmony with the sweepers and fog machines.” The students not only entertain Disney World’s guests while waitng to ride Space Mountain, but have 15 hours of classes a week as well. Departing from the stereotyped professor and two faceless graduate assistants in the catacombs of Teachers College M-1, these students have celebrities as teachers. Dropping in last summer were Jack Lemmon, Gowerd Champion, Paul Winfield, Carol Lawrence, Anita Kerr, and Mel Torme. The group saw the make-up artist who so beautifully aged Cicely Tyson in The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman. Academics: The gist of the matter The pace i s not much different than what Boye is used to with University Singers. Boye’s group gives five shows a day in Tomorrowland and he is expected to be in suit and tie. “This is a little taxing, in that hot Florida sun,” he commented. But Boye’s general enthusiasm showed he obviously enjoys the work. ‘’Disney lets me do my own thing, my own way,” he add- ed. “But it is just incredible the number of people involved in the organization of my group.” Organization is a key word at Disney World, related Boye as he outlined uncommon facts about the park. The Magic Kingdom sits on an elaborate series of tunnels, including everything from parking lots to employees’ cafeteria to ad- ministrative offices. Boye continued, ‘But the most fascinating thing is the one IBM computer room that controls everything.’’ Boye also works with the Disney World Mar- ching Band. ‘They've got to be the most phenominal group of kids,’’ he added. ‘’They are an absolute explosion of talent.”’ University Singers was privileged to premier “Brazzle, Dazzle, Day’’ a song from the new movie ‘‘Pete’s Dragon,’’ at Spec’ 77, because of Boye’s involvement wth WD Productions. This is the first time University Singers premiered a song from a major studio. Disney World is truly a Magic Kingdom, a fan- tasyland. And 24 college performers, under the direction of Boye, get to live their own Cinderella story every summer. Disney World and _ its employees help to cool off the pressure cooker most of us live in, with its variety of entertainment forms. Boye added, ‘‘If you quit smiling at Disney you just don’t work.” Disney Daze Library Science te Richard Kirkman, Patty Higgins, Bruce Kramer, Charlotte Harrington, and Becky Hurbul serenade several of the guests while they partake of the cuisine. The dinner took place in the Ball State Art Gallery. Bruce Jeffries, one of the 21 Madrigal Singers, steps forward to sing his solo. The piece he performed was from Hugo Distler’s ‘Dance of Death’. This was a dramatic presentation given on Halloween. With no music filtering into our routines, our days would be intolerably dull, drab, and spiritless. Instead of the top hits that stir us awake in to the morn- ing from that quiet sleep, a piercing alarm would screech through our heads, startl- ing us rather rudely from our peaceful dreams. Imagine growing up without records, guitars, or pianos; imagine the ticking irateness of waiting patiently in lines with no background music to soothe those trembling, tangled nerves. Music is an art that requires talent, devotion, and endurance. Hours of drill- ing and redrilling comprise any piece of music--be it an expression, a song, or a dance. The School of Music understands this and is meeting the escalating demands of both students and the public. Most in- struction within the school is on a one- to-one basis; presently a coordinator on the undergraduate and graduate levels serves aS an ombudsman _ between students, faculty, and the administration. The school has recently undergone in- terdepartmental changes. Two of the departments were dissolved, leaving the Department of Academic Studies in Music (which comprises Music Educa- tion, Music Theory and Composition, and History of Musicology): and the Department of Applied Studies (which in- cludes the three sub-divisions--keyboard, voice, and guitar; orchestral instruments; and ensembles). ‘Before the change we felt the depart- ments were related more to the directors rather than to the school,’’ said Dr. Har- greaves ,director, ‘‘Now the structure more clearly reflects missions, discipline areas, strengths, and faculty interests.”’ oa School of of Music He said the new governance of the school pulls the departments together so they are better able to communicate and work in union. “Ball State’s School of Music is special,’’ said Dr. Hargreaves, explaining that it is a multi-purpose school with a strong emphasis on teaching and profes- sional performance. On all levels, the school encourages creativity and practical experience, as well as offering a large variety of scholardships. The school adheres to the philosophy that a good education includes more than intellectual discipline--it should also combine physical skills with mental accomplishments. Ball State is noted as a world leader in Orff Schulwerk Instruction for child education and houses the American headquarters for Carl Orff’s Schulwerk system. “It is necessary to bring people on cam- pus in order to grow as a school,” said Dr. Hargreaves. Mid-American Music Camps, special clinics, and workshops draw many high school students to Ball State. The music department has generated a great many teachers; over 70 per cent of the graduates have teaching jobs in public schools, and some success stories con- cern graduates teaching at well-known colleges thoughout the country. Students have also found jobs in major symphony orchestras, special companies, musical therapy, and other varied aspects of performing. Some have even branched into other fields, such as computer areas. Dr. Hodgson said, with a tinge of pride, that many ex-students keep in touch. ‘‘It is always heart-warming when students express gratitude,” he said. “It is something | don’t expect.” ees a? hea ee oo heehee ees” ‘THEE DRE OEKS TERS Oot Eo Es THO P Odeo ee @ IFS et teetoee VIREO REE EOD OH MOD eEELSeS © ey ‘HEP eeeeee eee tHe eedee sou f SEES OES O 0, ‘ tHe otee eee pssst +eteed Lei tees tee Poet ose eect bPeetrt res oof hte ee en! ahaha se © oi See ee gue isttttse oa A regit he ger tee ithe ere ralttee eet!

Wakeland and the what? Madrigals: musical forms that were popular in Italy and England in the 15th and 16th centuries; original music written for after-dinner entertain- ment. And at Ball State the Madrigals are the 21 singers of that type of music. And Wakeland is music professor, Dr. William Wakeland, their director! Music, as defined by Richard Zirkman, a second-year Madrigal, is ‘’a living cooperative pro- cess.” And nothing seems to reflect that living cooperation better than the Madrigal singers themselves. The group’s enthusiasm is fantastic, and as Sarah Murray put it, ‘I’m in it because | want to be; most everybody is and that is what makes it really neat.”’ The musical forms primarily used by the group are five-part ensembles written in a flowery language and often depicting love figures. A transfer Madrigal from Manchester College, Mike Johnson, feels that the Ball State group is more of a mini-choir. “A madrigal group consists of 12 members, and our total of 21 is just too many,’’ Mike explained. Yet, this too-large-a-group has made a name for itself in the Muncie area. Using the German organist-composer Hugo Distler’s ‘Dance of Death,’’ the Madrigals gave a dramatic presenta- tion on Halloween. Clothed in black robes, hoods, and veils, the group successfully portrayed the emotion packed in the verses of Distler’s work. But it is the Christmas season that has become the Madrigal season in Muncie. For the second year, the Madrigals presented their dynamic Christmas dinner in the Ball State Art Gallery. From the costumes and songs, to the room decor and food, everything at the Christmas dinners reflected the Renaissance period. “The dinners were showier this year,’’ Jan Richeson, a four-year Madrigal and costume designer said. She went on to explain that the food was more imaginatively prepared and the at- tire more elaborate. With a limited three night performance and seating capacity, only 360 tickets were available to the public, causing quite a problem. The first- come first-serve basis produced a lot of dissatisfied people. Arrangements for moving the dinners to a larger place on campus were discuss- ed. Also, a plan to extend the dinners for a two week period, like at Indiana University, was con- sidered. But Richard Zirkman pointed out, ‘‘We could move the dinners to Emens, but that would turn it into a concert. The atmosphere would be shot. The Recital Hall gives it all flavor —gets the setting just right. And if we move to a bigger place, the intimacy of the individual serenaders and the like would be ruined. We do not want to be a glorified concert,’’ he concluded. “At nine bucks a head (of which $7 goes to the food caterers) we could obviously make more pro- fit if we extended to a week or more. But there must be a balance between the educational value and the social gratitude we get out of performing. If the dinners are extended, the educational value would go down. We would be worn out—there comes a time when enough is enough! We can’t let the educational value be forgotten by the profit that could be made.” Likewise, sophomore Carolyn Calvert felt that extending the performances would drain the singers and take all the enjoyment out of it. “You've got to consider the hours involved,” she said. ‘‘For many of the singers, myself includ- ed, this is not the only music group we’re a part of.” Though the ticket shortage problem was very real, the satisfaction of the lucky ticket holders was too. An evening entirely taken back to the 15 century proved to be very appealing to all involv- ed. Who can be accredited the Madrigal success story? Dr. Willidm Wakeland can, for according to many of the singers, ‘‘he knows exactly what he is doing and loves what he is doing—and that spells success!” For the past three years, Wakeland has headed the Madrigals. Jan Richeson, who has been in- volved with the group even before Wakeland became director, has been ‘really impressed with the quality of voices this year. There is more cooperation in the group, and less competition.” There is that magic word among Madrigals again—cooperation. Richard feels that it all relates back to the outstanding job Wakeland is doing, and summed it up by saying, ““Wakeland is very inventive. Not only do we sing 15 through 17 cen- tury music, but some 19 and 20 century contem- porary as well. His selection of a varied music is both educational to us as well as appealing.” The Madrigal went on to say, ‘‘Wakeland en- courages student participation by letting everyone know the opportunity is there. Student con- ductors, small group and individual soloists are sought out and exposed frequently. Most im- portantly, Wakeland is an excellent conductor. He doesn’t steal the show—he minimizes the con- ductors role and emphasizes each student's role. Gladys Knight and the Pips. Diana Ross and the Supremes. Wakeland and the Madrigals. Ah yes, Wakeland and those Madrigals! School sal Music Don’t be surprised if you don’t see them for a number of days, or throughout the entire quarter for that matter. If you do catch a glimpse of one of them, it will probably be in the study lounge or library. Hopefully, you won't be lying in the place they most often inhabit—the hospital. For student nurses taking their ‘‘clinical,”’ leisure time is practically an unknown en- tity. “Students come here very motivated, ’’ explained Dr. Joanne Guendling of the Department of Nursing. ‘The competi- tion is pretty terrific so they come prepared to work. It’s rough; you have to make up your mind to work hard.” Guendling, who served as_ ad- ministrative assistant to department head Dr. Helen Barry,said students were most- ly concerned about doing well in their clinical work. “That (clinical) is nursing to them,” she said. ‘‘Our students aren't here to stay in school, but learn what they need to know for life and death situations.” “We have so many students now that some wait a year to get into the clinical 230 Nursing program,” Guendling concluded. The department gained re-accreditation from the National League for Nursing and according to Guendling, ‘that’s a special recognition. It is needed by the students to give graduates an opportunity to do anything they want after graduating.” The government, military, and graduate schools won't accept a nursing major unless her nursing school has had na- tional accreditation. Many of the prospective nurses are in- volved in the State Nursing Association. Two students received research grants for the biology department and _ student Dianne Sheets helped to publish a nursing newsletter. “We like to think they're all outstan- ding,’’ said Guendling. ‘‘We have a fine record of our graduates being sought after by hospitals all over Indiana and even all over the country. This speaks well for the quality of our education. The largest change within the depart- ment concerned the resignation of Dr. Helen Barry as the department head for the ‘77-78 school year. Nursing student Jamie Lee utilizes clinical skills through extensive work and study at Ball Memorial Hospital. A senior from Dayton, Ohio, Jamie, like most student nurses, spent the majority of her junior and senior years in the hospital and school laboratories. Between rounds...Nursing student Sharon Walkowski, senior from Indianapolis, checks in at student nursing station in Ball Memorial Hospital. Ball State’s Department of Nursing gained re- accreditation from the National League for Nursing. Completing general studies courses, nursing majors are introduced to clinical studies through large orien- tation sessions. The crux of clinical study was spent in Ball Memorial Hospital through on-the-job ex- Artistry at its best Stately in structure as well as reputation, the Arts Building majestically towers above other structures surrounding it. Entwining moss clings to its side; a colorful variety of artists and guitar players create, sketch, from the terrace steps. Before it, bare-chested athletes toss frisbees in the wind, staging a subtle show for those situated under the sprawling trees. Facing it from a distance, one catches a warm glimpse of student life at Ball State University—academic aspects mixed with the social. The Arts Terrace has come to be characterized by frisbees in the wind, between-class loiterers, and, naturally, art students, many of whom ex- hibited their works in the Annual Student Art Ex- hibit in late April. Whitney J. Engeran, chairman of the Depart- ment of Art at Indiana State University, judged the show, saying ‘‘Those magical powers are powerfully present throughout the show...a high level of visual magic.” Awards were given in many categories. The Alumni Award, which recognized the best of the show, was given to Scott Campbell and The Award of Excellence—Visual Communications was given to Mariann Brackett for her book design and illustrations. Many who frequent the front lawn, however, have never wandered up the concrete steps into the gallery to experience this “‘visual magic.” Amidst fallen leaves Ann Andrysiak situates herself on the Arts Terrace as she completes an art project. As temperatures warmed, students moved outside to conduct sessions away from the confines of the classroom. perience. Possibly the frisbee thrower regards his disc- throwing as an art im itself; the loiterers also, situating themselves in random patterns on the steps and grass. But the art student, making art the choice of his life’s work, passes through the doors countless times throughout the course of his education. If the pieces in the student exhibit told of what is or what is to come, they were full of the individual, asking to be felt, not prudishly viewed from a safe distance. Each exhibit, from the three-dimensional works of Gwen Lawson Hugh to the paintings of Scott Campbell, expressed the artist’s individuality, still giving the viewer a sense of his own individuality as he interpreted the impressions his senses gave him. Students filed through the gallery, ears becom- ing used to the sounds of shufflng feet and mur- muring voices. People were taken in by the “‘magic’’ in pieces such as James Corey's “‘Little Corea,” and Danny Joy's ‘’Birth,”’ intricate weav- ings of hand-worked designs. It has been said it takes a certain amount of courage to major in art. The artist has always been labeled as someone out of the ordinary, straying from the norms of everyday life. If he doesn’t go into teaching, his future is somewhat uncertain. Viewing the last displays, one’s mood mellows considerably. Walking out, the sun seems brighter on the frisbees on the wind, figures lining the stairs. For the first time, one notices the inscrip- tions etched on the building...’’Art is the Smile of the Soul.’’ Magic. eee EEL Nursing Academics: The gist of the matter It seems that changing cultural at- titudes have affected everything from lit- tle girls throwing no-hitters in Little League, to the social acceptance of male nurses and female football coaches. The attitudes are penetrating the barriers of the School of Physical Education and Athletics, causing controversy and in- evitable changes. Because of the regulations outlined in Title IX, the Department of Men’s Physical Education and the Department of Women’s Physical Education are in the planning stages of merging into one department. In September, the school was urged by the state to comply to Title IX regulations and begin preparations to merge (the departments are set to merge by July, 1978). The new law was not well received by several female coaches who preferred the departments to remain ‘separate but equal.” The coaches felt that if the departments merged, several athletic and academic endeavors would be predominantly headed by males. Within the class structure, the transi- tion should not be too difficult because of the coeducational classes already being offered. David Field, chairman of Men’s Renowned research What Dr. Bud Getchell saw as a definite need at Ball State in 1965, is today a $100,000 funded human research laboratory. Since 1965, a building has been designaed for the project and filled with more than $20,000 worth of equipment. Getchell’s idea is better known as the Human Performance Lab which is housed next to the Ball State indoor track. “The bio-chem measurement is 25-5,” a research associate says to another as they stand in front of a ‘’fludrometer’’ machine. A girl can be seen in the next room pumping her legs away on a treadmill bicycle; the sweat trickles down her forehead as a graph registers her physical en- durance. “We look at people’s responses to stress,’’ Dr. David L. Costill, head of the Human Performance Lab, said. During the ‘7677 academic year, the Human Performance Laboratory worked mainly with peo- ple in the area of diabetes, and saw an addition to their building structure. “We propose to attack a given problem and send the proposal to the National Institute of Health in Washington, D.C.,’’ Costill explained. “They funded diabetes research for three years.”’ Although they have only been working on the diabetes research for a year, the human per- formance researchers found diabetics respond a, Wa normally to stress—as long as they are on insulin. The diabetes study is actually in its infancy, ac- cording to Costill. “Only animal studies have been done before on how they respond to exercise,’’ he said. Between six and twelve people are tested a day “in the lab as blood, urine, sweat, fat, and muscle are analyzed. Before any physical test is tried for the first time on another person, Dr. Costill first tests himself. “| would never put a subject to something | had not done myself,’’ he said. Most of the people tested are from Muncie and surrounding areas. Costill explained they usually don’t have any problems with volunteers, ‘Most people know the lab exists.”’ Although the lab usually tests people from the community, as well as testing Ball State students, occasionally outstanding athletes fly in for special projects. Frank Shorter, Olympic marathon champion, is one top athlete who has been tested in the Ball State Human Performance Laboratory. The lab’s research is usually published in medical and scientific journals. Their work has ap- peared in more than 70 publications in the last eight years, and guidelines on the lab’s dehydra- tion research is used in industry today. “We are always looking for ways of improving man’s endurance_of work,’’ Costill said. Physical Education, and Je an Arrasmith, chairman of Women’s Physical Educa- tion, feel they are coping with changing roles through coeducational classes such as tennis, golfing, canoeing, fishing, and dancing. Aside from providing ‘different’ kinds of courses to fulfill general studies re- quirements, the departments train majors and minors for teaching, coaching, and training jobs. Arrasmith groups the women’s department into five different categories: Professional preparation, general programs, intramural programs, performing, and women’s athletics. Ac- cording to Arrasmith, 200 students are in- volved in the various programs. Over 300 people are enrolled in the men’s depart- ment, with 70 involved in becoming athletics trainers. Within the Department of Women’s Physical Education Anne Pettit receiv- ed a grant and worked with Computer Assistant Instruction. Through this pro- gram, a student takes a test at the com- puter center usually, consisting of 15 questions flashed on the video screen. By pushing a button, the student answers one of the four multiple choice questons. The men’s department also boasts of several outstanding faculty members. Dr. David Costill, who the department head calls “the foremost professor at Ball State,’’ was invited to speak in Russia. In the past, he has lectured in such foreign countries as France, Germany, and other European countries. The professor is do- ing research on biopsies, muscles, cells, and diabetes. Internationally known for its extensive research on stress, diabetes, and other physical factors of en- durance, the Human Performance Laboratory uses between six and twelve people a day as test sub- jects.

Ruth Schmidt examines molds as part of the medical technology program. In its seventh year as a department, the Muncie Center for Medical Education in- creased its enrollment from 14 students to 21 medical trainees and replaced its department head, Dr. Anthony Dowell, with Dr. Douglas Triplett. “The students spend their first year of med school here,’’ Dr. Triplett explained. “They study basic science-physiology, micro-biology, anatomy, neuro-anatomy, historyology-embryology, and biochemistry.”’ Upon completion of their freshman year, the medical students spend a year of study in Indianapolis. During their junior year, they attend medical school at In- diana University in Bloomington, which prepares them for a “‘senior elective” in their senior year. “The senior medical student can take elective rotations in clinical aspects of medicine in a number of different places including Muncie,” Dr. Triplett said. But long before his senior year, the medical student at the Ball State campus spent his freshman year in the newly remodeled old nurse’s dorm, Maria Bingham Hall, behind Ball Memorial Hospital and Burris School. In the sum- mer of ‘75, the department moved from Cooper Science classrooms to their pre- sent modern labs, wall-to-wall carpeted offices, lecture areas, and library facilities in Maria Bingham Hall. “This is one of the best satellite centers in facilities,’’ Dr. Triplett said and explain- ed the medical department is a joint pro- ject with |.U. which has several satellite centers across the state. With the Ball State facilities, two of the 21 medical trainees worked in outstanding research, according to Dr. Triplett. Cheryl Breitenbach, a medical student from Con- nersville, presented a paper to an American Society of Clinical Pathology meeting in Los Angelas, California, in Oc- tober of 1976. Pat Newhouse presented a paper before the American Society of Clinical Pathology at a meeting in Dallas, Texas. Although only a few of the students presented research at professional meetings, all of the medical students were well educated and medically talented, ac- cording to Dr. Triplett. ‘All the students, are outstanding academically,” he said. Following a year of study in Ball State’s Center for Medical Education, first year medical students like Carol Clark spend a year studying in Indianapolis before entering the medical school at Indiana University in Bloomington. Within the center's laboratory, Carol Handles complex microscope equipment. 234) we Medical Ed Double duty Douglas Triplett leads a double lifestyle as a Ball Memorial Hospital staff doctor and head of the Center for Medical Education.

In the Medical Center he works as a teacher as well as an administrator. “! really enjoy all of the responsibilities,’” he said. “| coordinate the basic curriculum for students and physicians in the community, and select topics to be discussed.” The doctor received his medical degrees from Indiana University, an affiliate of the Center for Medical Education.

The people he works with! “Working for a broad array of people is a fan- tasting thing,’” Carmin, dean of the College of Sciences and Humanities, said. ‘“My colleagues are quite interesting; | learn a lot from them.” As the head of 21 departments, Dean Carmin has just completed his fifteenth year at Ball State. Prior to working here, he taught geography and served as the director of Latin American Studies at the University of Illinois. He also taught at Michigan State University for eight years. Dean Carmin has been affiliated with schools most of his life. He received his doctorate degree from the University of Chicago, a masters degree at the University of Nebraska, and a bachelors degree at Ohio University. Although he is kept busy with the College of Sciences and Humanities, Dr. Carmin said he slips away to a northern Indiana lake cottage oc- casionally. There he works around the cottage and-‘‘does a little fishing.’ 4 Completing his fifteenth year, Dean Robert Carmin heads 21 departments as chairman of the College of Sciences and Humanities. When he finds time to “escape” from his responsibilities, Dean Carmin en- joys fishing at his lake cottage. Textbooks comprise a small portion of the materials used to teach anthropology.

Within the department, students played an actived role through independent research projects. Over 50 per cent of all student credit hours are generated within the College of Science and Humanities according to Dean Robert L. Carmin. The dean feels that not only have students been con- cerned with general studies, but with in- depth research as well. “There has been an increasing amount of research done and there are more research grants,”’ he pointed out. In order to honor students and faculty members who have been involved in research, the annual Omega Banquet was held on April 20. The college has started an expansion process within its departments. Carmin explained that as of July 1, 1977, Social Work and Criminal Justice and Correc- tions will become new departments. For students involved in the Department of Anthropology, restoring the past is constructing their futures. Through the innovative Cultural Resource Management Program, anthropology students are becoming more aware of how bright that future actually is. As hun- dreds of job opportunities open up, the Management Program contacts students within the department concerning specific work situations. Pierre Paul BL z) Faculty member Ronald Hicks reports that as a result of the Moss-Bennett Act, archaeologists have found themselves overwhelmed with requests to provide assessments (assessments are required before any construction that is placed on federal land, uses federal money, or re- quires federal licensing can begin). Half of the active graduate students are already involved part time in such projects for the state highway department and other agencies. The Department of Anthropology, which is second in size to Indiana Univer- sity within the state, offers all three sub- disciplines within anthropology — cultural anthropology, physical anthropology, and archaeology. New classes added “‘seem- ed to draw considerable interest’ ac- cording to department chairman Harry Iz- mirlian, Jr. Courses in Folklore, European Archaelogy, and Women in Culture were added this academic year. An exciting department because of its available out- side experiences, the Department of Anthrpology offers summer field studies to faculty and students alike. Doctoral student Jim Reed learns of a field study through departmental chairman Dr. Harry Iz- mirlian. 237 Anthropology| “If there’s any area of great expansion within our department, it would be an in- crease in the number of graduate enrollments,’” said Dr. Robert VanAtta, chairman of the Department of Chemistry. ‘It’s the greatest it’s ever been.”’ Unlike that in other departments, educational opportunities in chemistry fields continue to be good according to Dr. VanAtta. Three of the chemistry ma- jors accepted in medical school were women. “The department is making more of an attempt to introduce modern equipment so that the upper classes are more in- teresting to the students,’” VanAtta ex- plained. He went on to say that the teachers education program is in the pro- cess of being upgraded and modified. Special talents of the professors help to make the department as interesting as It is. Dr. Frederick Ault and Dr. Terry Kruger have published a chemistry book and are following up on more research in this field. The two are also planning a techni- cian class which will be available for students on the two-year program as well as a new course for dietetics students.

An electronical approach “I'm really a gadgeteer at heart,’’ says Dr. Richard W. Olsen, associate professor of biology and prin- ciple designer and builder of Biology 100’s ERAT instruction system. “I’ve always been an elec- tronics buff, and I’ve liked building things since | was young.” “Building things” is an understated way of put- ting it. The development of ERAT (electronic response audiotutorial) into a total system of in- struction has taken ten years of experimentation and building and constant modification. And Dr. Olsen, who is also a consultant for Systems Management Instruction, has had his finger in the ERAT pie every minute along the way, in many cases customizing and building parts of the ERAT In simple terms, an electronic response system is simply a slide show that utilizes six projectors and, at selected intervals, asks the students ques- tions on what they are watching. Their responses are electronically signalled to the instructor, who records them. Soft music, usually rock, is played in the background. The audiotutorial program includes ex- periments, - films, models, pictures, readings, teaching machines, and 35-mm slide sequences, which accompany cassette-taped instruction. This activity takes place in the learning center, which again features rock music. 238 : Biology system himself. His role has required knowledge of learning theory, electronics, design and con- struction, graphics, and photography, not to men- tion biology. The system provides for the instruction of nine weekly topics: birth; birth control; genetic counseling; aggresion, territoriality, and survival; time, adaption, and change; man, communica- tion, and behavior; population dynamics, air pollu- tion, and radiation; life and energy; and water, thermal, and biocide pollution. Each topic involves four consequential learning activities: a group- paced electronic response program; a self-paced audiotutorial program; small group discussion; and evaluation. After the third day, an informal discussion ses- sion with the instructor, the student takes a 15- minute, multiple choice quiz on the fourth. There are no texts. Does it sound like cake? Dr. Olsen admits that the percentage of A’s and B’s given in Bio 10U has increased drastically since ERAT’s inception. He adds that the program covers four times the amount of material taught in the texbook-oriented biology course it replaced. “Our students utilize a variety of senses, not just their eyes,’’ says Dr. Olsen. In addition, ‘‘they are active in all phases of the learning process.” And hardly anyone goes to class just for the music. - Academics: The gist of the matter One can’t learn to ride a bike by just reading about bikes. One can’t learn about biology by just reading about biology either. One has to do it, ex- perience it, or so Norman Norton, head of the Department of Biology feels. And the department lives by this philosophy, taking students on field trip after field trip, and using such ideal facilities as Christy Woods to replace the classroom. Why, even some 20 years ago ‘‘ex- periencing’”’ was a major part of learning biology. According to Dr. George Welker, who has been at Ball State for 26 years now, “We used to take trips out to the trailer court—it used to be nothing but a sewage dump, can you believe that? It was great for analyzing! Also went to see the pheasants and wild life in the vast thicket (what is now Johnson Complex). | Working in one of the most extensively developed chemistry departments within the state, undergraduate Doug Ginstead experiments with distillation. Modern equipment and a faculty strong in individual research make the department a good one for both teaching and departmental majors. always told my students before those trips, ‘Wear old clothes!’ ’’ This “‘experiencing” has taken on a new dimension in the last few years. As Ball State has outgrown its name of “teachers college,’’ the Department of Biology has followed suit, and has been placing more and more emphasis on research. Today, a growing number of students are specializing in different areas of biology, with the emphasis no longer on teaching. “The research done by faculty at Ball State is relatively good,’’ Byron Torke, a two-year member of the department said. “But,’’ he explained, ‘‘we are limited by funding and time. The professor work load here is too much for any of the facul- ty to have enough time to devote to a lot of research. And because of the budget, time releases for professors are very limited.’’ Although the department greatly increased graduate enrollments, undergraduates such as Dick Bloss and Joe Wu utilize the modern equipment and developed laboratory stations for individual research and class projects. The two juniors don their white coats to test various theories of organic reactions. The department has grown con- siderably since the days Welker remembers. From what used to be a biology section with three professors has evolved into the present biology depart- ment with over 20 full-time professors and over 60 graduate assistants and teacher assistants. “The facilities are good,’’ sophomore Vicki Gullett feels. ‘“The labs are open reasonable hours and the profs are always ready to help.” “We have a special contact with the students,” Welker explained. ‘Each of our labs are limited to 24 students which enables personal contact with each stu- dent. And because of this, | see better faculty-student relations in the bio depart- ment than really anywhere else in the university.”’ Sophomore from Richmond, Becky Dorgan patient- ly pries a cricket out of a plaster mold as part of her Museum Techniques class. According to biology faculty members, more and more students are focusing on individual research rather than the teaching profession an {239 Ch emistry New Castle resident Mayra Mcintyre develops listen- ing skills through the foreign language department's classroom lab. The department also offered students opportunities to live in foregin language houses on campus or study abroad. Student interest in foreign languages has been on the decline for several years, and more and more colleges are dropping foreign language requirements from their curriculums. Ironically, enrollment in the Department of Foreign Languages at Ball State has increased by 95 per cent over the past year, however. Part of the reason for the increase may be that while two years of foreign language is not required for a Bachelor of Science degree, it is required for a Bachelor of Arts. More likely, however, it is due to what can only be called an ag- gressive campaign to sell the idea of foreign languages to students. Says departmental chairman Dr. Jerry Kasparek, ‘‘Students today are less well prepared when they graduate from high school and less willing to take demanding courses. Thus, the department has to of- fer the student something more than vocabulary tests and hours of listening enjoyment at the language lab. And it does. Study-abroad programs and foreign language houses give students the opportunity to put their classroom instruction to work and further develop their skills. “Students are discovering that, if they really want to, they can learn a foreign language here in four years or less,” said Dr. Donald Gilinan, a popular French pro- fessor. As a result the Department of Foreign Languages is attracting, not only more, but more interested students. 240 a Foreign Lang.

Servin } a 7 tutoring experience is A volved. ial to both parties in- e rey The Department of English, under the new leadership of Dr. Daryl Adrian, chair- man, and Dr. Charles Houck, assistant, continued striving to educate students who needed to improve basic writing skills, specialize in the study of language, seek teaching licenses, study pre- professional courses, develop com- munication skills, or who wished to con- tinue in adult education. The department stressed excell ence in teaching on all levels, from freshman composition courses to graduate seminars, according to Dr. Adrian. It also expanded by 40 per cent the tutorial ser- vices of its Writing Clinic, staffed by qualified undergraduate students. “During the 1976 calendar year, six pro- fessors had books published,”’ Dr. Adrian said. ‘‘Numerous professors also publish- ed scholarly papers and poetry, presented papers, served on panels, or held offices at state, regional, and national profes- sional meetings. Eleven faculty members were awarded grants for creative teaching, creative arts, or research pro- jects this academic year.’’ Among the major projects of the year were the writing of a comprehensive departmental academic plan for 1977-82, Students in Robert Fritz’s Conversational Spanish class close the textbooks and stumble through an at- tempted conversation. Many students took the con- versational foreign language classes as electives, as enrollment within the department increased 95 per cent. the completing of a revision of all undergraduate major and minor pro- grams, and the ‘‘submition” of a new masters program for teaching English as a foreign language to the university and the Indiana Commission of Higher Educa- tion. A new monthly publication, the English Undergradate Newsletter, developed within the department and several depart- mental and inter-departmental lecture series were supported by the department. Later in the spring, the Department of English honored professors Lucile Clifton and Royal Morsey who retired after teaching at Ball State for 29 years each. Sharing their skills It’s existence is unknown to many students, but for some it is the only hope of completing the re- quired 103 and 104 English courses. The Writing Clinic is housed in the basement of the English Annex, which is located on north Calvert Street. The atmosphere is one of relaxed discipline, warm and inviting. . . As the screen door closes, one is instantly greeted by cordial chatter, the aroma of fresh-perked coffee, and a typewriter’s incessant pecking. The writing Clinic is available to all Ball State University students and serves over 300 students per quarter. Its tutoring service is offered free of charge and usually consists of one-hour weekly sessions. Some students meet with their tutors for the entire quarter, while for others only two or three meetings are necessary. Reviewing the basic fundamentals of grammar, developing ideas and organizing thoughts for themes and compositions are the main duties per- formed by approximately 30 tutors. Because of the high standards of Ball State’s Department of English and the demands and ex- pectations of professors, some students in- dependently seek the Writing Clinic, while the ma- jority do so upon. the recommendations of their English professors. In a comfortable room amidst scattered desks, Harbrace Handbooks and _ broken _ pencils, students receive sympathy and consolation, as well as constructive critisism from tutors. Dealing with ‘‘bleeding papers’’—fatal victims of the merciless red pen—the syntax of sentences, and frustrated students, proves to be somewhat of a challenge for tutors. “Tutoring is more a learning experience for me,’’ said Mike Chapin. ‘Sure | get paid, but that just goes along with it.—! learn as much as the students do.” Although several tutors admitted that they “were in it for the money’’, most said that it was the ‘educational experience’ and preparation for teaching which attracted them to the job. Tutors, who are English majors and minors or students recommended by English professors, have complete freedom with the teaching techni- ques they choose to implement. This allows the flexibility needed in dealing wtih individuals and unique problem areas. It also encourages creativi- ty, initiative and responsibility on the part of the tutor. Despite slight irritations when some students “fail to show” or express a lack of enthusiasm, a tutor’s job is very rewarding, personable and enlightening. The Writing Clinicis not merely a workship, but it also serves as a medium for meeting interesting, fascinating, and some very gifted persons. As one observer pointed out—“‘It’s nice to be abie to help someone.” 241 ea] “Outside” experience...Junior Mike Dearing is one of many students who work at Ball State’s weather station. A cooperative effort between the geology department and radio station WIPB, the station is used by the Muncie Press, area high schools, in- surance agents, lawyers, and Ball Memorial Hospital. The genial concord felt among the faculty members of the Department of General and Experirhental Psychology is explained by one professor as follows: “You have to be friendly and easy-going to exist in a building like this.”’ As the steam heat hissed and spat from the pipes, a long dissertation about the decrepit condition of North Hall followed. “Walking down the stairs is like descen- ding the sheer side of The Matterhorn.” Whistling jovially, a distinguished pro- fessor shuffled down the hall as a telephone’s incessant ringing echoed through the thin, pale-green walls. “Someone better get that phone!” yell- ed an anonymous voice. ‘‘Do you think they're home?” asked another. Despite the unique, relaxed personality of North Hall, most faculty members are anxious for the department to move into a new building. That time and place, however, is speculative. If morale ever reaches a low, Dr. Deckers is sure to spice it up. As an in- tellectual exercise and special hobby, Dr. Lambert H. Deckers has adopted an ex- tensive study on humor. He has theorized that the key element of humor is based on an “‘incongruity hypothesis.’” The more a situation deviates from its expectation, the more humorous one finds it. Another popular topic and special in- terest of the department is Dr. William R. Clark’s research and experiementation with biofeedback. Clark has designed his studies using the everyday mirror as a 242] Psychology Striving for smaller classes and extensive laboratory experience, the Department of Geography and Geology motivates its students through research projects as shown by Phil Neese. The department is proud of its high percentage of job placements. biofeedback device in “‘pupilary response.”’ Another faculty member, Dr. Elizabeth Poland, has been organizing a community-wide rape counseling service. The service focuses on direct aid to rape victims, but also draws people with other kinds of problems. Education, a big part of the program, includes rape prevention, the action one should take in the event of rape, and guidelines on gathering evidence that may be used in the prosecu- tion of rapists. Students, both graduate and undergraduate, work hand-in-hand with faculty members in independent study and research projects. The university of- fers a masters-level program in psychology and pre-clinical psychology, as well as a secondary teaching minor in psychology. A new course proposal prepared by Hilda Gordon for the honors colloquium in psychology has been accepted this year. Dr. Gordon also has a special interest in the Academic Opportunity Program students as well as honors students. Also this year, a grant was given to continue the Alcoholic Rehabilitation Pro- gram on which graduate students work under faculty instruction. In a nutshell, 1977 caught the Department of General and Experimental Psychology probing the interesting and diversified realm of human behavior. As psychologists grope to understand, they also continue to grow. + PP ——t. 7 — a = On a smaller scale Hidden behind Johnson Complex, across McKinley Avenue from the duck pond, and beneath the Johnson dining service is the Car- michael Living and Learning program building. Nearly 800 incoming Ball State freshmen each year check a box on their class schedule request forms to be a part of the Carmichael project. Bruce Geelhoed, director of the residential pro- gram, said a majority of the 796 freshmen enrolled with the Carmichael project is evenly split bet- ween business, education, and undecided majors. He explained the program appeals to the liberal arts oriented person. “This has been a good year,’’ Geelhoed said, explaining that only 52 students dropped out of the program during the ‘76-77 academic year. Students involved in the Carmichael project take two classes in the Carmichael building and two others elsewhere on campus. The purpose of the classes offered in Carmichael is to make the freshman’s university experience a more personal Geelhoed, include a faculty requested to work especially with freshmen, smaller enrollments in classes, and a closer communication between studentS since the majority live in Johnson and LaFollette Complexes. Eighty-four per cent of the Carmichael students said they would recommend the project to incom- ing freshmen. Although a majority of the enrolled students suggested the program to others, some feel the project is basically a matter of location convenience, being that the students are housed in the two closest resident hall complexes. “| thought it was totally useless,” Mark Records, a Columbus student remarked. ‘‘The on- ly thing | gained from it was a few steps.” To some students, the program provided op- portunities for outside activities. A Carmichael theatre, fall presidentiai debates commentary, In- diana Political Science Association discussion, and lon magazine were a few of the Carmichael- sponsored activities. Actually, the goal of the Carmichael project is to create an environment in which students see living as learning and learning as living. one. Geelhoed explained students, faculty, and residence hall staffs work together for a personal, small-community atmosphere. Advantages to the program, according to Department chairman Edward E. Lyon feels that the ‘‘geography and geology fields are opening up; there is really a future in them.” In fact, the Department of Geography and Geology has placed every ‘earth science teacher that wanted to be placed. “We're really optimistic about the whole thing,’’ Lyon continued. He then explained that in the field of geography, students are being hired in sight location analysis, transportation planning, urban planning, and work for the federal, state, and local governments. Geology students are finding openings in energy programs and research in urban planning. The Urban Geography program was ex- panded because ‘‘this is where it’s at employment-wise for the next several years.”’ The teaching curriculum became more flexible in its variety, changing because of new state requirements. Several new courses, both required and elective, were available for students to choose from. Several faculty members wrote books and articles concerning their specific area of study. Professor Lyon co-authored two books with Lowell Dillon — Earth Science Manual (a lab book) and Physical Geography and Earth Science. Tom Mar- tinson wrote a library materials book and edited the Geographical Survey Magazine which is published at Ball State. Often resembling a smail-scale zoo, the laboratories of the Department of General and Experimental Psychology are used for frequent testing on animals. Dr. Gary Meunier carefully handles complex equip- ment used in measuring rats’ reactions to various kinds of tests. __ 1243 Geography, Geology ist of the matter Morton Rosenberg and other faculty members were excited. Something familiar and interesting to the students— television—had ‘‘awakened the significance of what history is all about.”’ Textbooks and dates were momentarily forgotten as lounges were packed with students glued to televsion, watching a glimpse of remarkable history. ‘’Roots”’ was something that every student could relate to, simply because every student had his own unique background. “Everybody wants to know about their beginnings and history can tell them,” said Morton Rosenberg, chairman of the Department of History. “‘We in the department try to provide that for the students by offering a variety of courses that are as interesting as possible.”’ Aside from popular courses such as Economic Historv, Black History, and European History, the department added several new courses to the ‘76-77 agenda. Academics: Included was an Introduction to the History of Business. and Women in U.S. History, which deals with changing roles of women. Rosenberg felt that along with history majors and minors, several students choose history courses to fulfill general studies because of their human interest. “History provides the sole means of making places known,” he explained. “‘If you are watching television at night and hear about a place faraway you may not know that much about it. But if you've taken some history, and you've studied these places then you have a general knowledge of where the county is, its people, and the lifestyle of that country.” Naturally the department changes with the changing times. According to Rosenberg it has gone from dealing with just history majors and future teachers to working with those who want a scholarly departmental background in the subject.

Dr. Ingelhart and Dr. Conn helped me through my first year; since then, I’ve been on my own.” Atwell, who received his bachelors degree from the University of Colorado, didn’t get started in the business until he was 28. “| was in the service, and a few other complica- tions made it 10 years to get my bachelors,” Atwell noted. “| had been around a while by the time | got my first job in Canton, Illinois. | knew a little bit of what life was about.” “That first job was pure torture,”’ he reflected. “| quit every Friday but | kept coming back again. My boss was a miserable SOB, but through this experience | got introduced into the business. That’s why | don’t have too much pity for students now who say they have a bad boss.”’ Atwell’s classroom organization finds him play- ing the role of editor rather than teacher. In a skills a class, Atwell feels that a professional situation should be established. However, he mused that in a lecture class he finds himself being an enter- tainer. In describing the actual properties of a jour- nalism career, Atwell cited three points to characterize newspaper work: 1.) It’s incredibly hard work. 2) It’s long hours; the research and waiting keep a person away from his family. 3.) It’s rewarding. “It can be a good life if the person gives it a chance,” Atwell philosophized. ‘‘You’re going to meet and work with some good people. Jour- nalism is a continuous learning process. A person can easily fall into a rut, but as in most things, variety is an essential. A journalist must be willing and able to accept a variety of work and still com- plete it well. This calls for a_ diversified background, one that could be acquired during college.”’ Atwell feels the journalism profession offers the same rewards which can be gained by that of a doctor or a nurse. It’s a significant profession, one which is essential to today’s world. And who could argue with a guy who is as well- versed in the profession as Ken Atwell? It was truly a ‘building’ year for the Department of Journalism; with a total cost near the two and one-half million dollar mark, the department completely remodeled the top four floors of the West Quadrangle building to replace it’s former six ‘“J'’ houses which were spread out over the southern end of campus. As well as moving into the 100 classrooms and 25 darkroms of West Quad, the department completely ;evised its curriculum to meet accreditation re- quirements and state teacher certifica- tion. The changes, for acceptance into the American Council for Education in Journalism, switched several three-hour courses to four-hours, a change most other departments on campus _ had previously made. “We are enterting a golden-age for A well-known figure within the Department of Jour- nalism, Ken Atwell is responsible for the internship program as well as teaching several newswriting courses. journalism here,’’ Dr. Louis Ingeinart, chairman of the journalism department explained. The new building and depart- ment accreditation was planned to benefit the ever-increasing interested students in journalism. “We are teaching more students in more sections of classes, on and off cam- pus, than ever before,’’ Ingelhart said. He mentioned there had been a tremendous increase in journalism class enrollment until the increase stablized during the previous three years. Interest in journalism leaped beyond the walls of the classrooms according to Ingelhart. He said there were 40 area newspaper editors who were undergraduate journalism majors and dozens who were involved in important public relations work. Where does the journalism major go from Ball State with his diploma? In- gelhart said several go out to daily newspapers. “The Fort Wayne News-Sentinel has about 12 Ball State University graduates,”’ Ingelhart said. Mike Smith of the News-Sentinel is one of the 12. 245 Journalism eS ee Eee Heads in Carol McAninch and Greg Dyer served WIPB television as meteorologists. However, their work would not have been possible without the help of the Ball State weather station. When President John Pruis sat down to decide whether to hold graduation inside or out, he consulted the people at the Ball State weather station. “We are an official cooperative weather sta- tion,”” Stephen Justham, assistant professor of geology and administrative assistant to the geology department chairman, said. He explained the weather station, located in room CL 462 of Cooper Science, is mainly a public service. “People call in to find out what the weather's going to be like,” Justham said. He explained the page one weather information of the Muncie Press is from the Ball State weather station. He said lawyers, insurance agents, Ball Memorial Hospital, and tour groups use the weather station. “It's used for demonstrations for some explana- tions of a weather station,’’ Justham said and t w a the clouds mentioned more than 400 students from area schools view the weather station. To assist in the tours and keep the station in order, Justham said a graduate assistant is assign- ed to the project each quarter. He or she is helped by one or two undergraduates interested in meteorology. “It's a cooperative effort between our depart- ment (geology) and WIPB,’’ Justham said. He mentioned there are no majors or minors in meteorology, but the department plans to offer the option. ‘We are thinking of getting a minor with radio and television.” Daily weather records date back to the 1930's, but Justham said they may actually have been recorded earlier, but lost. Yet today, he explained the weather station records ‘every weather perimeter someone might be interested in know- ing,” twice daily. Justham said the information is reported to the national weather station as an official affiliate. 4 lA A seemingly renewed interest in facts, figures, and problem-solving has resulted in a marked increase of students involved in the Department of Math. According to department chairman Duane Deal, the 500 math majors and minors caused the curriculum to expand. “The problem for those hoping to teach elementary students has under- gone marked changes,’’ he explained. “The faculty has been working to make the courses more relevant. Math Natural Resource department chairman Dr. Hibbs explains a graph compiled by the Population Reference Bureau during a class session. Oversee- ing the department since 1968, Hibbs taught the first natural resource class offered back then. Aside from academic courses, many students were involved in Student Association for Computing Machinery or Sigma Zeta. Deal also stressed the fact that Ball State is the only place in Indiana, Ohio, or Illinois where a program in Ac- tuary Science is offered. Utilizing various work areas, mathematical science students do classroom assignments while com- pleting log information. Meticulous accuracy was characteristic of the mathematician’s work. Typical of Natural Resource class endeavors, students leave the classroom to gain insight into various elements of the environment. Here two class members demonstrate the use of a hole digger. Academics: The gist of the matter ‘“‘More people are coming to Ball State primarily to major in natural resources than ever before,’’ says Dr. Clyde Hibbs chairman of the Department of Natural Resources. Dr. Hibbs, who taught the first natural resources course offered at Ball State back in winter, 1968, has watched over and guided the department’s steady growth ever since. At this point, the department, the first of its kind in Indiana and certainly one of the most unique, boasts nearly 300 majors and minors. And that figure is likely to increase rapidly within the near future. The reason? For one, in early summer the department plans to move into its new facilities in the West Quadrangle, a building which it will share primarily with the journalism department. Says Dr. Hibbs, ‘‘We will have adequate facilities for the first time. For example, we will have indoor lab facilities instead of the all- purpose kitchen we use now.” In addi- tion, the building will provide an en- vironmental education materials center, an audio-visual room, a student reading area, a field equipment storage area, a computer terminal, and a research and development shop, as well as the usual classrooms and faculty offices. Another reason for the department's growth and popularity on campus is its in- terdisciplinary approach to its subject. The department works closely with several other academic departments at Ball State, including the geography, geology, biology, elementary education, economics, landscape architecture, urban and regional planning, and journalism departments. “Although a great deal of time and ef- fort is required to work out cooperative efforts,’’ says Dr. Hibbs, ‘we feel that this approach exposes the student to a wide variety of ideas and philosophies.’ In addition, the department focuses on the interrelationships between resources. “A basic understanding of all resources is a prerequisite to the understanding of any one resource,’ explains Dr. Hibbs. Another aspect of the department's unique approach is what Dr. Hibbs calls “humaneering.”’ ‘“We want our students to be able to work with and through other people to accomplish things,”” he says. “This should make our students better prepared to participate in the job market and, hopefully, more effective in their fields.” Acording to Dr. Hibbs, the natural resources department is turning out more and better qualified graduates each year. “We have a unique and high quality pro- gram,” he says. ‘It stacks up well.”’ Natural | | I | war Resources | ll t=— ™EeY Offered for the first time as a major, the study of philosophy is particularly useful with its strong em- phasis placed on logic. Small classroom setups allowed students to receive more personalized in- struction. a “With philosophy majors, tne slogan is: ‘You either teach it or preach it,’ ‘” said Dr. Robert Robertson, chairman of the Department of Philosophy. The chairman went on to say that most philosophy ma- jors are preparing to go on to graduate school, and some have intentions involv- ing law school. ‘They find the courses on logic to be the most helpful,’’ he said. Within the department, the Indiana Commission of Higher Education approv- ed a major in Religious Studies. Previous- ly, the program had just been offered as a minor. Dr. Robertson feels that students are more serious and determined to get the best education they can. ‘We think the student body is dead serious about get- ting their money’s worth.” DO YOU LIKE THINGS THAT SIT AROUND AND BEEP? and bounce in blank space.

Following a quiet pause, guest speaker Mike Warnke told a crowd consisting of people from all religious denominations, how he turned to Christianity. ; Mike Warnke was only one of the many speakers and special presentations sponsored by the Religous Council. Comprised of represen- tatives from the 30 religious groups on campus, the Council sought to ‘recognize the multiple faith needs of the campus, and to provide a ground for common understanding and program- ming between the varous religious groups in order to aid their effectiveness in meeting the religious needs of students and faculty.” “Drugs and Religion’ was the theme of the an- nual fall program consisting of panel discussions, and guest speakers. .Russell Begaye, a Nava In- dian speaking on the use of peyote in the Indian religion, was a featured lecturer. “Rape,’’ ‘‘Homosexuality and Religion,”’ ‘The New Morality,’’ and ‘“Sex Can Be a Beautiful Thing,” were special presentations included in the winter quarter program. Panel discussions centered on “‘Changing Roles in tite Church” and a special discussion was led by guest speaker David Moberg. The dynamic speeches and convictions of Mike Warnke attracted students of all faiths. A former Satonic priest, Warnke’s personal anecdotes and strong religious beliefs made him an interesting speaker. Warnke was featured through a special program on ‘‘The Occult’ during the first week of February. Varying views on ‘‘Futurism and Prophecy” were discussed as religious leaders from different Campus and non-campus organizations par- ticipated on panel discussions in the dorms. The spring program began with the showing of “The Late Great Planet Earth.’’ Various religous groups expressed their faith through music as part of the Religious Council’s annual Inter-faith Song Festival. Other activities such as a scheduled trip to the Veterans Hospital in Marion were planned to bring the religious Organizations together through service and socializing. _With the departmental emphasis on development of _ the electronic program, two physics and astronomy students collaborate in their laboratory work. Since 1958, students at Ball State have par- ticipated in the Honors Program. Each year since, students who maintained a 3.25 grade point average have graduated with honors. “The Honors Program stretches people out,” Warren Vander Hill, director of the program, said. He explained the program is a liberal arts collo- quia. ‘‘The courses people should experience...” Each year Vander Hill explained 275-300 incom- ing freshmen are invited to participate in the Honors Program due to high SAT scores, class rank, and high school grades. He said nearly 300 students join the group. Students may also join the program by maintaining a B average while studying at Ball State. After a student is admitted to the program, he must take a freshman symposium in Contem- porary Civilization, Honors Biology (newly added), three courses in humanities, and must write a senior honors thesis or special project. “‘! believe a student can learn an awful lot about himself doing independent research,’’ Vander Hill said, explaining the senior project could be any approved activity. He mentioned a photo display, short story, and musical program as projects of the past. The Honors Program is beneficial to par- ticipants, according to Vander Hill, because it has helped students to be accepted into law school by enhancing a person’s credentials. However, some honor students do not complete the program. “The attrition rate is fantastic,’’ Vander Hill said. He explained they usually start out with 300 students each fall and end with 175 people in the spring. In response to the program, John Studebaker, a freshman from Ligonier, said, ‘In honors courses, you have to think rather than memorize.” On their own Stabi-avieksccceha ae umes f a su g a jan im 4 nA alr fa wl at Sui. ie a sie ask tS PR HS q _ Ps Jed Sunt ve e % = + = 2 ” 2. a. es ed 2 Gay vey ns ip MH 3 “The internship allows our people down there to develop their own skills and personalities,’’ said Dr. Robert Perry, chairman of the Department of Political Science.

Students were afterwards allowed to interact and discuss what they had heard. Also on the department’s agenda was the development of a new Arts and Public Service program. The course of study would allow students to gain a two year associates degree = Employment worries comprise the ma- jor concerns of students in just about every department. ‘‘Our department, in fact all departments offering degrees in teacher education, has reached a full realization of the shortage of teaching positions,” said Dr. Warren Schaller, chairman of the Department of Physiology and Health Science. ‘‘We are hoping to prepare our graduates for the job market.” Schaller hopes that in future years, a student graduated from Ball State will Carry some weight in the job market. “Students are reaching and searching for honest answers on employment,’ he said. He also feels that the incoming freshmen show a greater concern for their future careers as far as job opportunities go. A new class entitled ‘‘“Women_ in Health,”” in addition to a sex education class, was added to the curriculum. The Emergency Health Care course has been the most successful according to Schaller. “Il enjoy seeing the humanization of people wanting to help others,”” he ex- plained. The department head was sur- prised at the ‘‘broad spectrum of people taking the course.”’ Ball State’s Departmet of Physiology and Health Science founded the National Health Science Academic Honorary, in- Stalling its thirty-first chapter in mid-April. Under president Dr. Schaller, the honorary also celebrated its tenth anniver- sary. Schaller is also the National Presi- dent of the American School Health Asociation. Through studies of the human body, students orient themselves with health and physical factors which will prove valuable in their personal lives.

In the cool darkness of early morning, only a few hoarse shouts from late-night beer drinkers penetrated the engulfing stillness. Now and then, a lone studier would tumble through the hall doors, exhausted and sleepless. Academic buildings stood motionless as the cam- pus slept. Suddenly, flickers of light accompanied by the whining of car horns signaled the arrival of the brightly decorated van labeled ‘‘Ball State Univer- sity.” Stopping at LaFollette and Johnson Com- plexes, the van, already packed with students and luggage, and plastered with ‘’Good Luck!”’ signs, picked up three more competitors. With a final screech of tires and enthusiastic horn-honking, the Ball State Speech Team departed for another Nationals competition. Competing in 30 speech and debate tour- naments throughout the Midwest, the Ball State speech team eventually placed eleventh out of 144 schools at the National Forensics Tournament in Washington, D.C. Earning a total of 140 group and individual awards, the team took first place in seven tournaments throughout the year. “People were more willing to try to get to know people, less defensive,’’ said Dr. James Benson, head coach of the team. ‘The team did a lot more recruiting; there was a whole difference in attitude within the group.” Aside from regular season competition, Ball State was represented in the State Oratory and State Peace contests with Michelle Whiteman placing first in persuasion and Shawn McGee first in girls’ extemporaneous. The two then competed orva higher level in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Shawn was also elected the student representative on the National Board of Directors at the national tourna- ment in Washington, D.C. Following four years of high school competi- tion, Elighie Wilson had to adjust to ‘‘doing things on my own—writing my own speeches, etc.’’ Ob- viously, the newcomer adjusted well; as a freshman, he made quarterfinals in persuasion at the national tournament. The national quarterfinal is not the round that stands out most in Elighie’s mind, however. A semi-final poetry round at Wright State holds this honor. “The other kids in the round looked at me as if they knew | couldn't make it,”’ Elighie recalled. ‘‘ said to myself, ‘Wilson, you're going to doit...’ ”’ “| had the judges,’ Elighie continued. ‘It was like a new experience;’’ | felt | was seeing my selection for the first time. | took fifth, but it was a good fifth. | talked about that round for a week.” Sophomore Sue Mace was “addicted” to speech team activities. Competing in eight dif- ferent events throughout the year, Sue performed Close-knit competitors in all but one tournament, and scheduled 17 prac- tices with five different coaches the week before nationals. Although Sue considered the Moorehead tour- nament to be the most fun of the year (everybody was so friendly and personable; people enjoyed watching others perform’’), she remembers the Wright State tournament as the scene of her best performance. “It was the final round of dramatic duo; | vias performing ‘The Maids’ with Karen Bechtold,’’ Sue recalled. ‘In terms of power and feeling, we never gave a second performance that equaled that one. We performed first, and when | sat down, | knew we had won.” Traveling so extensively with the team involved missing Friday, and often Thursday classes. “‘It’s really hard to catch up,” Sue said. ‘You can’t ex- pect the prof to stop class because you weren't there.” Daryl VanHook, Todd Simms, Sue Roberts, and other team members experienced additional non-competitive opportunities offered by the speech program through interpretation festivals. Under new coach Judy Yordon, attending festivals in Terre Haute and Missouri was a “’first’’ for the Ball State team. “Festivals were different from competition because: you could defend your interpretation,” Daryl! explained. ‘‘There was a closeness of people as performers and interpreters— a Certain profes- sionalism that was present.” Placing first in national competition in Salt Lake City, Utah, debaters Bob Hill and Steve Russell competed in seven tournaments throughout the year. To both debaters, as well as coach Dr. Ben- son, the Debate Days tournament held in Detroit was the most memorable and challenging tourna- ment. The tournament gave the debaters a chance to compete in front of an audience. “Debate Days was what an debate ought to be,’’ explained Dr. Benson. ‘‘It focused on com- municating with people.’” Ball State “‘com- municated’’ quite well—receiving first place in the tourney. Researching the national topic of Consumer Protection since August, Bob Hill joined the team because of the competition and learning process involved in communication. Both he and Steve felt there were several problems because they were the only ones on the team. ‘We didn’t have as many people researching as other teams,’’ Steve said. “We couldn’t have any practice debates.’ Steve joined thinking the research would be good preparation for becoming a lawyer. “It gives you a sense of doing something the normal person wouldn't do,”’ he laughed. The bright green flyer reads, ‘When television becomes the same old thing, it's time to get out of the house and see something that’s alive.” Ball State’s Department of Speech and Theatre not only promised excitement to its au- diences, but to majors and minors who were looking for something unusual. Since the department expects its students to be active in their chosen pro- fessions while on campus, there were quite a few ways to keep the average stu- dent {and even the not-so-average stu- dent) involved. ' Under head coach Dr. James Benson, the speech and debate team traveled throughout the Midwest and sponsored the eighth annual Age of Aquarius Tour- nament in November. Aside from being a lot of fun, the team experience gave students a ‘‘real op- portunity to use their minds,’’ according to first-year coach Sue Conover. ‘‘It really gave me a chance to get to know some students,’’ she added. Aside from tournament competition, members also attended interpretation festivals in Terre Haute and Missouri. “Very often the best and most talented people performing for us are not in the theatre department,”’ said Dr. Edward Strother, administrative assistant to the department chairman Dr. Alan Huckleberry, ‘’but there are all types in our productions and all of them are in- teresting.” Sixty-five majors and eighty minors -, Rehearsing for his role in the spring production of Kismet, Kevin Jones finds time for a musically en- joyabie outlet. Kevin was also a member of Universi- ty Singers. spent the year involved in set-building, acting, directing, and technical work for four different levels of theatre. Studio theatre productions formed a real par- ticipation atmosphere as students totally directed their own shows under faculty adviser Dr. George Irving. Others with an interes t in the stage chose to work with children’s theatre, summer theatre, or one of six mainstage productions. Students were exposed to several of the most contemporary types of theatre and interpretaton through first-year coach Dr. Judy Yordon. Chamber theatre was a new learning experience not only for those involved in the production ‘’Sybil,”’ but for Yordon’s oral interpretation classes as well. Through the university's Program Bureau, sponsored by Yordon, several students compiled scripts and par- ticipated in Readers Theatre, performing at area high schools and organizations. What better experience for a theatre major than to travel to the heart of Broad- way? During spring break, speech and theatre majors were given the opportunity to travel to New York at a minimal fee. Such shows as “The Whiz” and ‘’Chorus Line’’ were featured activities along with sightseeing and first-class dining. Reflecting the various phases of society's structure, students turn to sociology courses as general studies electives. Popular among freshman, the in- All sociology majors are not criminal justice majors; all criiminal justice majors certainly are not social work majors; all social work majors do not necessarily specialize in sociology. In fact, the three areas have become so specialized and developed that they are going to become three separate departments. As of July 1, 1977, the Department of Sociology will divide into three new departments— Social Work, Criminal Justice and Correc- tions, and Sociology. The sociology program employed 12 full time and 3 temporary faculty members. Throughout the academic year, faculty members gained recognition because of individual research. William Johnson conducted research studies in- volving the motives of migration in In- donesia. Receiving a grant from the Smithsonian Institute, Johnson visited the island of Java along with Joe Tam- ney, another sociology professor.

The program, under the guidance of professional social worker Karl Rehfeld, stressed learning “beyond the classroom’’ through prac- tium experiences and work with the Stu- dent Voluntary Services. Students were placed all over the state in social welfare agencies to gain practical experience. Rayfield realized that undergraduate social work would become an important field and worked to make it a reality at Ball State. Ten years of program implementa- tion and hard work turned the dream into reality—a reality that will become the Department of Social Work on July 1, 1977. Within the social work program, Ron Dolon conducted studies involving the ad- ministration of social work education. The bachelors degree in this area is fairly new. Specializing in psychiatric social work, Jan Gildner coordinated the practical ex- perience projects. With field placement studies based at Pendleton, Michigan City, and other centers, the criminal justice and correc- tions program involved 400 majors. Facul- ty member Todd Clear presented a paper in San Mateo, California, on determinant and indeterminant sentencing, and John Hewitt worked with Middletown studies. 253 Speech, Theatre Indianapolis junior Cindy Wilson oversees the action in the television studio.

Fifteen years is a long time to wait for anything. Nobody in the Center for Radio and Television, however, complained when the Federal Communications Com- mission (FCC) finally announced the ap- proval of a frequency increase for WBST- FM, Ball State’s radio station. In a decision handed down October 27, 1976, the FCC granted the station with a frequency change from 90.7 megahertz to 92.1. Dr. William Tomlinson, director of the Center, explained that ‘‘the increase will extend the present signal of 8 miles to roughly 37 miles.” The station, which is student operated and faculty directed, offers not only its special fine arts programming to the au- diences, but provides students with on- the-job training in professionally equipped studios. “There's lots of opportunity in our department for the right people,” said Dr. Tomlinson. ‘There is no guarantee of success in the radio, television, or motion picture mediums, but that makes it more of a challenge.” Through a total of 57 courses of which 80 per cent involve labs, students find out about the programming, sales, engineer- ing, and administration of radio and television stations. The Center also operates a 13-channel closed circuit television system that provides video ser- vice to 150 campus classrooms. A minor in the area of motion pictures could open the way for positions in script writing, direction, camera work, editing, animation, sound recording, production, and lighting. Those in the program are also instructed in the history and art of the motion picture industry and the influence of broadcasting on the general public.

Newly separated from the Department of Speech and Theatre as of July, 1976, the department boasts of one of the largest undergraduate programs in the United States, serving 220 students. Students majoring in speech pathology are especially prepared for job-hunting because of the extensive practical ex- perience offered within the program. The department is known for its speech and hearing clinic that offers evaluation, diagnosis, and therapy to area residents. Under the supervision of faculty members, undergraduates and graduates work one and two hours daily giving therapy to the 120 patients who visit the clinic every week. Those involved in the Department of Speech Pathology and Audiology obtain experience not only in the university's uni- que clinic, but in public school therapy programs, hospital environments, and pre-school nurseries. A jump ahead Most other students plan to ‘make it big’’ atter graduation; but then again, Ron Pointdexter is not like most students. Working part-time at WBST in Muncie, Ron is already gaining the practical ex- perience necessary to develop the smooth techni- ques of a professional journalist and broadcaster. A freshman from Rushville, Ron says he found out about the job through his radio and television classes. ‘‘There was this sign hanging on the bulletin board that told of the position inter- views,” he said. ‘| went to the station, and when | got there, they gave me an on-the-air interview. | was hired on the sports staff.”’ Ron’s responsibilities include covering area high school athletics and reading sports on the air twice a week.

Throughtout the past year, the freshman has interviewed such athletic celebrities as Pete Marovich, Darnell Hillman, Billy Knight, Adrian Dantley, Jerry West and Karrem-Abdul Jabbar. “It was really a great experience for me,” the freshman concluded. ‘It waas a great experience. ”’ “a Oh, Ron...with three years to go, your “ex- perience” has only just begun....

If all the offices and classrooms would be taken away, the department would still be a strong network of people helping people. As one of the departments of psychology within the Teachers College, Counseling Psychology and Guidance contributed to graduate education through teaching, scientific research, and professional service and consultation. General goals focused on developing ef- fective counselor-educators, consumers of research, and therapists. Aside from a regular 20 faculty members, outside professionals and pro- fessors were appointed to serve the department’s European’ program. Students received a well-rounded educa- tion in the field, partially because half the faculty had backgrounds in counseling and clinical psychology, and the other half in counseling and guidance. Majors and minors were exposed to a wide range of perspectives and experiences since many of the faculty members had taught abroad as well as in the United States. Students involved in the department quickly became an active part of that growing network of people helping peo- ple by working in the Counseling Prac- ticum Clinic. The clinic served over 400 clients—clients who were counseled by the students under the supervision of various faculty members. Searching for goldmines of new strategies, exploring a wealth of in- novative ideas, members of the Ball State faculty went ‘‘WEST”’ six times throughout the past academic year. Sound exciting? It was! Although the educators didn’t actually go ‘’west”’ (as in Los Angelos, New Mexico, and San Fran- sisco), they did break new ground through Ball State’s well-received “WEST” program. Sponsored by various departments within the Teachers College, the Weekend Enrichment Series for Teachers involved six workshop sessions held at different times throughout the state. Utilizing Ball State faculty and guest lecturers, the program was in- terdepartmental in nature, allowing teachers to exchange ideas through discussion groups. Topics focused on such areas as classroom management, legal rights, individual creativity, and anything else the groups wished to discuss. Although changed in name from the Ball State Teacher's College to Ball State University years ago, BS U still boasts of a Teachers College that is ‘‘among the finest across the nation’’ according to Dean James Mitchell. Programs like WEST series, majors in secondary educa- tion, endorsements on the junior high level, a nationally known Multicultural Education program, an extensive TOD (Teachers of the Disadvantaged) series, and other programs offer prospective teachers numerous opportunities for practical experience outside the classroom. “We are revising all of our programs, both undergraduate and graduate,” ex- plained Dr. Leslie Mauth, associate dean of the Teachers College. ‘‘We're doing this in anticipation of new teaching pro- gram changes every year.”’ The college con tinually strives to upgrade curriculums, utilize modern teaching techniques, and develop quality teachers by evaluating present programs. According to Mauth, the college sends questionnaires to former Ball State students involved in their first year of teaching. The questionnaires serve as an evaluating basis. “We try to keep our beginning teachers from being surprised with problems that can occur in the classroom,’’ Mauth ex- plained. “When undergraduates come here to be teachers, they are very serious students looking for practical programs for their area. They also want to get in- volved with teaching as soon as they come and as often as they can.” Serving the Muncie community, staff members of Ball State’s free psychology clinic meet to discuss policy and specific cases. Leading the discussion is Dr. Roger Hutchinson (foreground). The clinic serves area residents, rather than university students and staff members. __|257 Counseling | Psych Utilizing previously learned teaching and educational = skil Is, a doctoral student prepares for course work in educational administration.

After completing her doctorate, Dr. Palmer worked one year at the Meramic clinic. ‘’| then came here (to BSU) to teach last year; | love what | am doing, because | really feel at peace,”’ the doctor stated. For the future, Dr. Palmer “can’t decide whether to be career-oriented or to have a fami- ly.” As she nestled back in her chair, she gave a friendly smile and said, ‘I'll probably do both.” (Ms) Doctor Academics: i] ! The gist of the matter Only the constant ticking of the clock and occasional sound of pencil erasers could be heard as students mulled over the difficult essay. Like most assignments and exams given in the Department of Education Psychology, the test was hard because it involved more than facts and figures. The courses forc- ed future teachers to make decisions con- cerning models of instruction and theories of human development. It was a depart- ment of new ideas, personal soul- searching, and thought-provoking ques- tions. “Are you a humanist or a behaviorist?” “Do you believe that independent study will benefit your students?” “‘Is learning the responsibility of the student or teacher?”” ‘‘How would you shape the en: vironment in order to promote a learning atmosphere?’’ These were just some of the questions that students and teachers discussed and _ reviewed. In| many courses, learning penetrated outside the classroom walls as students engaged in individual projects involving outside school corporations and observations. In general, the courses themselves focused on human development, the study of behavior and learning, learning problems, and the influence of the en- vironment on human development. Later courses trained prospective teachers how to write an effective unit plan, and test, and to evaluate students, eliminate learn- ing problems, shape the environment, and set up effective, controlled, ex- periments. According to Dr. Shirley Trent, ad- ministrative assistant to department head Dr. Kenneth Joy, students seemed “drawn to the area of behavior analysis and modification.’’ She said the depart- ment eventually hopes to offer doctorial and masters degrees in this area. The department serves outside clients as well as university students through a special psychology cliinic. Focusing on individual evaluation of school children, the clinic is free of charge and serves hun- dreds of Muncie residents. Several professors within the depart- ment are well-known in their specific fields of study. Dr. Ray Gale wrote a book entitled Explorations into Humanness--Cross-Cultural Study. Dr. Stanley Wenck and Dr. Frank Sparzo have also written a book on Behavior Analysis which has not yet been publish- ed. Other professors are doing research on the influence of the environment, or benefits of the general model of instruc- tion (utilizing an objective- preassessment-learning-evaluation pattern of instruction). Although no major is offered in educa- tional psychology, those with teaching majors are required to take a sequence of the department’s courses. Trent feels there is a very positive outlook concerning the department and its faculty; ‘“We deal with job-oriented people who have a positive outlook.” It takes extremely effective organiza- tion “at the top” to develop a healthy school corporation. Without strong ad- ministrators in the forms of supervisors and principals, classroom teachers can often lose much of their effectiveness. The Department of [Educational Ad- ministration and Supervision sought to prepare graduate students for supervisory positions. Aside from principals and superintendents, the program trained students as business managers in higher education, directors of buildings and grounds, personnel directors, and _ in- formation officers. Specialized personnel were trained to teach educational ad- ministration or prepared for administrative positions in other colleges and univer- sities. The department was headed by Paul Nesper. Preparing students for positions on various ad- ministrative levels, Paul Nesper heads the Depart- ment of Educational Administrtion and Supervision. 299 Ed. Psych. Academics: The gist of the matter Through their major they learn about science. And reading. And language arts. And social studies. In fact, elementary education majors get a taste of just about everything because they have to teach just about everything. According to Dr. Richard Alexander, administrative assistant to the chairman of the Department of Elementary Educa- tion, a trend toward teaching younger children is developing, especially in the areas of developmental language and reading. To accommodate this growing interest, the department developed a Liv- ing Learning Laboratory which involves kindergarten and nursery school classes. Both graduate students and undergraduates work at the lab which is open two hours a day. Elementary educa- tion majors can also gain practical ex- perience by working at the Day Care Center located directly behind LaFollette Complex.

Early in the teaching curriculum, students spend two hours in selected Muncie elementary classrooms once a week and one hour in a special seminar. Additional classroom hours are added on sophomore and junior years, with the option to study in Great Britain junior year. The department strives to place its student teachers in innovative schools utilizing team-teaching, open classrooms, and other special programs. The Department of Elementary Educa- tion is also known for its TOD program (Teachers of the Disadvantaged) which prepares elementary students to teach successfully in disadvantaged areas and in integrated schools. “Students are more serious than in previous years,” Alexander commented. “A greater per cent of students have had contact with younger children in high school through cadet programs.” “| think the student’s greatest concern is being able to complete the program and get a job,” the assistant chairman con- cluded.

The new educational program was developed and implemented not only by the 52 Laboratory School faculty members, but by faculty from other Ball State departments, students, parents, and university administrators. “We've got some of the hardest work- ing faculty members on the university,’ Branch said. Three major components comprise the new program. The Common Curriculum consists of minimum standards the students will attain prior to graduation.

The final component, Compensatory Curriculum, was designed to individualize the Common Curriculum by taking into account the individual differences of students who are educationally, physical- ly, socially, psychologically, and mentally exceptional. The new educational progam is con- stantly being modified and revised as stu- dent needs are evaluated. As a whole, the program is based on one principal objec- tive: to make the student a competent learner, producer, consumer, social be- ing, citizen, and aesthetic being. “We really form an unique microcosm of society,’’ Branch explained. “| try to keep a finger on all the things that go on; | try to crystal-ball some things.’’ As chairman of the Department of Elementary Education, Dr. Mildred Ballou has to keep track of everything —all elementary education programs go through her office. Dr. Ballou has been at Ball State since 1960, becoming the department head in 1970. She works with implementation of plans, budgeting, and occasionally teaches a class. “There are many pleasures to my job; the pressures aren’t overwhelming this year,’’ Dr. Ballou said. ‘Working with a very congenial facul- ty and receiving good feedback from _ the employers of our graduates is very exciting.’’ Ap- proximately 350 elementary teachers, 350 masters candidates, and 10 doctoral candidates received degrees. “Ball State teachers are in greater demand than those from other schools across the state and na- tion,” the chairman pointed out. ‘The national placement of elementary education teachers is about 51 per cent, but Ball State’s runs about 80 per cent.”’ Receiving degrees from Drake University, Ballou has run a private nursery school, taught at Drake University, co-authored two elementary science series, and taught courses in television. She is also involved with community work, especially with the hospital auxiliary and the Mun- cie Symphony. She feels her ‘‘home, husband, and son are the central purpose of my life.’ In her leisure time, Dr. Ballou enjoys bridge, reading, interior decoration, entertaining, and cooking (‘‘not the everyday bread and butter cooking; | like to try new things like gourmet dishes.’’). Dr. Ballou’s influence extends much further than this university through public speaking engagements. The chairman has spoken to such groups as the Canadian Teachers Association, area Parent Teacher Associations, science con- ferences, women’s clubs, and school business of- ficials and administrators.

His students not only studied the differences between ethnic groups and cultures from the pages of textbooks, but actually ex- perienced and observed through a variety of independent projects and field trips. In fact, this ‘‘educatuon-as-a-continuing process’ theory was prevelant not only in Dr. Payne’s classes but within the Department of Secondary, Higher, and Foundations of Education as a whole. Through the department, students have the option of obtaining minors in secondary education and multi-cultural education, and endorsements in junior high school teaching. Through the secon- dary education sequence, students par- ticpated in weekly observations in area high schools. Aside from learning to be an effective facilitatoor and motivator within the classroom, students were made aware of such things as salaries, teachers, organizations, school boards, legal responsibilites, contracting, and job inter- views. Several of the professors brought in guest speakers who spoke on teaching problems, giving useful tips concerning the beginning teacher's first job, com- plexities involved in legal responsibilities, and maintaining a wealthy learning en- vironment. Students enrolled in the multi-cultural aspect of the department had an exciting and active year. Those involved in the participation class took a four-day field trip to the Calumet Region, where the Hammond school system was studied. Students learned how to comprise effec- tive lesson unit plans and objectives when working with students from different ethnic, social, and cultural backgrounds. Through its Foundations of Education, the department strives to explain educa- tion to its students and teachers. By hav- ing a thorough knowledge of the factors involved in a continuing process-the role of each person involved, the pre- supposed purposes of educational institu- tions, and problems present within the contemporary system-educators can strive to evaluate educational process as a whole. Under chairman Donald Jones, the Foundations include courses in the History of Education, Philosophy of Education, and Sociology of Education. Aside from specializing in a specific sub- ject area, students have the option of ob- taining a Doctor of Education Degree with a major in Seconday Education. a Secondary Ed.

Academics: The gist of the matter Being a student teacher is an all-day job, ac- cording to Melanie Vaughn, a spring quarter stu- dent teacher at Muncie Central. Melanie explained the job of a student teacher begins at 7:30 a.m. and doesn’t end until lesson plans are completed and it’s time to go to bed at night. “I'd say it’s much harder than being a student,’ Melanie said. As a student in the area of home economics, Melanie noticed high school has not changed since she graduated less than four years ago. However, she said the girls in her Muncie Central classes were more open about their problems, especially in the personal hygiene classes she taught. Other side of the desk Although she completed her student teaching in May, Melanie planned to return to Ball State for another quarter. With the practical experience she received as a student teacher, she feels she has become more aware of the responsibilities of the occupation. “It's a lot more work than | thought it would be,’’ she said. Neil Hinton, a student teacher at Muncie North High School, agreed with Melanie. “| find it very time consuming,’’ he said. However, Neil, a biology major, also took a three- hour night class the same quarter he student taught. “It’s really hard to find the time (for a night class).”’ At Muncie North, Neil taught biology and botony. He also helped with coaching. Neil, like Melanie, planned to return to Ball State to pick up a physical education minor. Although he feels the work of the student teacher is time consuming, Neil said, “’I like being around younger kids.” As well as teaching two sections of personal hygiene, Melanie also taught a foods class and an interpersonal relations class. She said the teaching facilities for both classes were excellent. “The school is one of the most modern around,’’ Melanie said. “From the feedback | get, I’d say we rank definitely in the top ten,’’ stated Dr. Dale Lawer concerning the national stan- ding of Ball State’s Department of Special Education. ‘‘One of our strengths is a strong liberal arts curriculum. Like it or not, it helps students down the road in their careers as teachers.” As department chairman, Lawver feels that other BSU departments give special education a great amount of support. “A majority of our teachers had public school experience and are aware of the pro- blems,’’ he said. ‘“We have a top-notch staff and bring in variety of teacher train- ing programs in advanced work.” New programs available to special education majors include the Children’s Demonstration Center for disadvantaged children and the Home Learning Center serving deaf children up to three years old. Due to changes in state re- quirements, the department reworked undergraduate certifications, hoping to have new guidelines set by September of 1978. Aside from being involved in the Stu- dent Council for Exceptional Children, special education majors sought practical experience through observations and work in area schools. “Our students have exposure to many kinds of things and many professors,” stated Lawver. ‘‘At other universities, the students probably don’t get professors, but instructors.” “Overall,’’ he continued, ‘““we have a good exposure for students. No experience is bad experience.” Special Ed. ie Ball State personnel Jim McElhinney (left) and workshop director Patty Bippus confer with a gentleman attending the workshop.

The informal atmosphere of the day allowed the exchange of ideas, with problem solving ideas being derived. a oe One of the most important roles of a teacher is actually that of a student. In order to keep up with the changing trends in education, teachers must often revert back to ‘’the other side of the desk.’’ Na- tionally known for its teaching curriculum as a whole, Ball State strives to maintain a high level of teacher education not only for its students, but its professors as well. The university provides this service 264 Lifelong Ed. through its Center for Life-Long Education. In short, the general purpose of the center is to provide programs for adult educators, community education coor- dinators, and curriculum coordinators. For the first time, the department receiv- ed a grant used specifically for teacher education for the elderly. The center works closely with the In- stitute of Gerontology and Gerontological Studies. Education is not a product that is completed with the recognition of a sheepskin; rather, it is a continuing lifelong process. Along with lifelong education, the Institute coordinates conti- nuing education programs for the elderly, as well as researches the problems of the aged. The Institute also serves as a cen- tral repository of gerontological informa- tion and materials. No 19-year-old college senior can even IM- AGINE a time so far-distant that she'd be eligible for Ball State’s Half Century Club. Incredible in 1926 to contemplate 1976 (anymore than you can now picture the year 2026). Ball State was chiefly ONE building, that which now is the “‘heart’’ of the campus (Is it still called the Administration Building?) which went back to the era of Normal School for teachers, a one-time boarding school, and the place seemed MILES from ‘“‘town’’ in the early 1920's. Beyond it was farm land, open fields, and a few trees which with care and additions became Christy Woods. A few houses were nearby, some which afforded lodg- ing for live-in students. As a group, the student body was made up of commuters; interurbans ran hourly from all parts of the state, so it was no great trick to live in Eaton, Anderson, or New Cas- tle and commute daily. In-town transportation was by bus, with tickets five cents f rom the court house to campus, six for a quarter if you were “‘thrifty.”” What a HOWL arose when “‘transfers’’ were to be PAID for! Two cents more, if you lived in the far reaches of the ci- ty and you had to ride one bus downtown and take the college bus the rest of the wav! Andlet the Denney Bus Company makerone slight devia- tion in the regular route used and such a commo- tion ensued that the whole community became in- volved! Some went directly, out Main across the Washington Street bridge, out University (so named LONG before the school ever dreamed of gaining such a glorified status!) and to the THE building. That was as big a nickle’s worth as the ferry ride across to Staten Island in New York Ci- ty, though not so glamorous. Some of us whose parents considered us much too young to be turned loose on campus at Bloomington planned to go to college and live at home ‘‘a couple of years,” but we loved the school by that time and were proud to have a degree there. Others were thrilled to death to be able to get an education while living at home — much cheaper, too. | think an ordinary four- subject and no-lab fees tuition came to $25 every 12 weeks. Anybody could rake up THAT much! | wonder just how many of the class of ‘26 would have been financially able to stay in school with the ‘76 fees! Classes were small; teachers knew every stu- dent; and the academic standards were HIGH. How shocked we were when the PE department started bringing in ‘‘potentially great’’ football players who couldn't have ‘‘passed” courses in Muncie Central! In fact, a few of them hardly spoke ‘’English’’ and many of them had to be taught to write any kind of college paper. Courses in ‘“‘sand box’’ and “finger painting’ for athletes were previously unknown on the campus. A few of us made “good money” tutoring behemoths in the fundamentals of English and speech; at the same time we learned much about huge young men who had never had the advantages of a really good education in grade school or high school. Helpful when we began our careers. More than memories...a word from the wise Personal letter from Mrs. Margaret Wiggs How joyous was the occasion when the ‘‘new gym” became the home of school dances! (the more the merrier). One penalty for being president of your sorority was that your date had to dance with the dean and maybe one or two of the other oldsters during the evening. Miss DeHority liked mine (who later became my husband) because he was well over six feet tall and a strong leader. The fellows always picked a “slow dance” for their “obligation dances,’’ otherwise disaster. Don’t forget that some of the Midwest champs in Charleston contests came from Muncie! Another person she liked to dance with was a short, rather plump, wide-eyed, innocent-looking lad who had never enrolled. Only the adults didn’t know one fact about him: he was the campus bootlegger. The back of his car would be packed with half pints of ‘‘white lightning’ he’d buy in Ohio and sell on campus. If he ran out of regular liquor bot- tles, there were always half-pint Ball fruit jars! Muncie teens always learned to dance, if not at home at Mr. Manning’s School of Dance, upstairs at the corner of Walnut and Jackson Streets. A beautiful big dance floor, good music, and a fun time...During the Christmas holidays, every sorority or fraternity in town had a dance, usually at the Robert’s Hotel. If a girl wasn’t in- vited to six or eight dances, she just wasn’t very popular! If you have mothers or grandmothers who have tried to make you think gals of the 1920’s were too innocent for words, forget it. True, the lack of “the pill” and the crudities of abortion made most girls extremely cautious, even if they weren't “moral.” When the campus beauty left school because of ‘‘mono,’’ everyone wondered whether Mono’s hair would be red or black, depending on which of two athlete’s fathered her child. Bet she was Curious about it, too. One more indelible memory! Half a dozen sorority presidents had been called to the dean’s office to settle some ‘‘rules’”’ for rush week, so we all arrived a few minutes earlier than our appointment-time. Just as we were to be ushered into the “inner sanctum,” a loud-voiced, red- faced, deeply-disturbed middle-age woman burst into the room, shouting to the dean about the les- bian behavior of two students she’d “found” when she went to clean thé room. In exact details, with four letter words, and much waving of arms, she illustrated a phase or two of lesbian actions. To say that we listeners learned a lot that day is the understatement of the month! Without a word of instruction from the flabbergasted dean of women, we fled! To my knowledge, no reference was ever made to that scene when next we met with the dean. When most of the professors lived “in town,”’ they were often friends of our parents. Dr. Christy taught the Sunday School class at the First Bap- tist Church when my mother was class president. Dr. Graham lived next door. Professor Baxter was the “‘fishing buddy’’ of a family nearby. Dr. LaFollette lived next door to my cousin. Ball State was much like “family” fifty years ago. 265 cmoora es ‘t= a 6 eee _Like the congested hub of a far-reaching wheel.

Crossing the lines can be easy for some, and very hard for others. Many of you are probably saying to yourselves, ‘what line?’’ Crossing what line? — the im- aginary line that most blacks and whites don’t dare to cross over into ‘‘oreo’’ land. Anyway you look at it, it would be an oreo, more blacks on one side or more whites on the other, with a little chocolate or vanilla cream in the middle. This is 1977, not 1957. All men are created equal and one Is free to join any organization at Ball State, if one qualifies. As the old saying goes, ‘‘don’t judge a book by its cover...” Let’s not judge an organization by it’s color or name, either! If a certain organization is of some interest to you, investigate within — it could be very rewarding to you. Don’t just stop, look-and listen; stop, look, and get involved. See what a certain organization has to offer before you label it as being an all-white or all-black organization. It doesn’t have to be that way unless you let it. As part of a black minority on a majority white cam- pus, I’ve chosen to speak ‘‘the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.”’ | believe that more blacks have crossed over the imaginary line than whites. Blacks have attended more white functions than whites have attended black. You see no signs at black functions say- ing ‘‘no whites allowed.” If such signs were allowed, you probably wouldn't see them here, because demonstrations would be held on the Ball State cam- pus. There is no need for such demonstrations here because there are no such discriminatory signs. Blacks have been involved in white activities such as the Bike-A-Thon, A.O.Pi.basketball marathon, Sigma Nu little sis softball tournament, intramurals and many other white sponsored activities. Where were the white students when the following black activities were held? Delta Sigma Theta Sorority-sponsored Jabberwock (open to all Greeks); Kappa Alpha Psi homecoming ac- tivities; Omega Psi Phi marchdown; and A.R.A. and other Greek activities. Throughout the years, when these activities were held, where were you? All of the above were open to the public. It’s up to you to cross that imaginary line; | can’t do it for you. If someone told you that black students would sponsor the welcoming party when you got to heaven, would you enter, or would you go the other way? If you want me to be realistic, then you must be realistic and erase that imaginary line. What I’m trying to say is, we ourselves are drawing a line and cheating ourselves out of things that interest us. Don’t let anything or anybody restrain you from your goals, one of what might be to cross over that im- aginary line into oreo land. If it feels good — do it, or shall | say, if it tastes good, eat it. So to you who are cool whites and blacks, side- stepping and cheating yourselves, come on over to the wild side, and bring along enough oreo cookies so we can all munch... 4 Gathering ping pong balls for Schmidt Hall, Robin Wentworth, junior from Greenwood, and Connie Kepner, freshman from New Castle, work to ac- cumulate points for their cause.

Themed “Heaven in '77, ’ Ball State’s unique On Campus Days rejuvinated interest in residence hall living through a variety of cultural and social activities. ‘It gave people something to do during the doldrums of winter quarter,’’ said Daryl VanHook, overall chairman of the event. Daryl explained that On Campus Days emphasized the positive qualities of residence hall living and let residents in on “what RHA is all about.”’ Generating a greater enthusiasm than in previous years, residents utilized crepe paper, striking colors, and creative flairs to greet the On Campus Days judges on Sunday, February 10. Mysch Hall’s ‘The Myscheteers Welcome On Campus Days” bulletin board won the decorative contest, kicking off a week of fun-filled activities. Over 150 participants drenched themselves at Splish Splash, a series of action-packed water relays held on Mon- day evening. “Splish Splash received the greatest response of any of the activities, ’’ explain- ed Daryl, ‘probably because it’s the most fun!” The following evening, residents view- ed ‘‘The Mouse That Roared”’ in the Botsford-Swinford lounge. The DeMotte Hall Executive Board came out on top during the annual “Be Nice to Your Residence Hall’’ Day on February 9. The board took cuttings from plants and repotted all the plants in the hall. Backpacking exhibitions, plant shows, body painting displays, judo demonstra- tions, and fencing presentations were a few of the many attractions sponsored by various halls as part of the ‘“Wide World of Interest’’ held on Thursday evening. “The Owl and the Pussycat’’ was shown Friday in Dehority and Noyer, and a spirit stick was awarded to Wilson Hall during the basketball game against Miami of Ohio on Saturday afternoon. Roger Spahr and Jodie Bennett “boogied” their way to $25 gift cer- tificates during the celebration disco dance Satuday night. Held in Botsford- Swinford lounge, the dance featured WERK disco jockey Dave Michaels. Following the dance, a midnight swim in University Pool closed the week’s ac- tivities. Daryl felt that the total event was a greater success than in previous years. “We had a bigger turnout,’”’ she explain- ad. ‘It was run a lot better and it didn’t run as long. The planning began as far back as last October.” “It's the only activity that is totally for those in the residence halls,’’ Daryl con- cluded. ‘The sororities and fraternities have ‘Greek Week,’ and we have ‘On Campus Days’...”” In the combined division, Alpha Chi Omega sorority and Beta Theta Pi fraternity team to perform a medley of summer surf songs.

Throughout the residence halls, fraternity houses, and sorority suites, amateur music troupes put the finishing touches on complicated dance routines and multiple-part harmonies. It was the eve of Spring Sing, an d costumes, vocal ar- rangements, and choreography numbers still had to be finished. Despite the late-night work sessions, everything (and everyone) turned up in tip-top order the following afternoon. Facing a rumbling crowd of community members, parents, and fellow-students, 12 trembling Spring Sing music groups vied for a shining first place trophy. Wild applause rose from the crowd as directors Deb Freeman and Cliff Reynolds accepted the over-all troohv for the com- bined talents of Chi Omega and Lambda Chi. Dressed in elegant black outfits trim- ed with red sequins, the group had per- formed a medley from “’A Star Is Born’ admirably.

The group placed first in the residence hall division, performing a well-received Beatles medley. The crowd present for the campus- wide extravaganza enjoyed Master of Ceremonies Al Rent, and relaxed to the intermission entertainment performed by members of sponsoring organizations Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia and Sigma Alpha lota. They saw judges Margie Newton Hamm, James Mulholland, and Robert D. Zehr, and enjoyed the polished, final presenta- tions of the 12 groups performing. What they didn’t see, however, was all the hec- tic preparation, organization, and coor- dination that went into each production. “We had two major problems,’’ said Jim Walters, director of the Botsford- Swinford group. “‘One concerned the number of people dropping out; the other concerned the choreography. We started rehearsals with 40 people, and ended with 18. Some people didn’t show up regularly for practice, and so they had trouble lear- ning dance steps later on.”’ “At first | was kind of down because people were dropping out so fast. | thought it would fold,’” Jim continued. “But then we made it through preliminary judging and decided to work really hard in the next two weeks. We did the best we could with what we had.” The group’s ‘‘best’’ was good enough to receive first in the residence hall divi- sion. “It was really a lot of fun to direct,”’ said Jim, explaining that this was the first time he had directed a vocal group. “‘l was really quite proud of the group...” Aside from the two award-winning per- formances, several other numbers provid- ed lively entertainment for the audience. Featured numbers included a medley from ‘‘Pippin,’” performed by Knotts- Edwards; ‘Ease on Down the Road, ”’ per: formed by Menk; and a medley from “Sound of Music,’’ performed by Sigma Nu and Pi Beta Phi. Stark contrasts of black and white costuming highlighted with white pancake makeup, give Ed- wards Hall an interesting effect.

The beautiful weather, organization, silly bloopers, and crowd enthusiasm busted the expectation of the hilarious event. Outside though, in the late September wind, a lament wept. Two hundred and forty melons were slashed, falling victims to gluttonous coeds as they gorged themselves with the watery fruit. Some of the watermelons were spared—greased and weighted—only to suffer worse punishment. They were bunted, smash- ed, and thrown. Fraternities, sororities, residence halls—it didn’t matter—all par- ticipated in the games, laughter, and cheering. A representative from Botsford Hall, Jeanne Carstens, was the focus of atten- tion as she began to roller her ‘‘lopsided”’ watermelon across the field after all other contestants had finished. Sprawled on hands and knees, sporadically bunting the melon with her head, Carstens said her only concern was ‘getting across.” Master of Ceremonies Bob Taylor's en- couraging remarks and the cries of 1,243 spectators didn’t phase her a bit. She just 214 eee Watermelon Bust wanted to “get rid of that confounded thing! ’ Following the watermelon roll relay was the seed-spitting contest. Sigma Nu Gary Dale clenched the title for the men’s divi- sion. What did Gary have to say for himself? “Spitting is not just spitting. Basically it’s the technique of getting everything together and concentrating: ‘Take my time, realize what I’m doing, locate the air velocity...then spit.’’’ It’s that simple. The tables were pushed back and the ritual watermelon-eating contest began. After a morning of fasting, Tammy Moran, a contestant from Rogers Hall, chomped down on her melon, literally bathing herself and the table in juice. It tickled! She kept laughing and glancing at her partner, Julie Cappello. Then Moran started choking, still laughing and gag- ging. Time seemed to stand still. Moran’s face turned bright red and sheer terror had her hopping around like an impish jester. A heroic lifesaver gripped her around the ribs, dislodging the fruit. With no time to spare, Moran once more plow- ed into the watermelon. Surprisingly enough, it was Moran and Cappello that won first prize.

She laughed like a brave sport and swore, “That watermelon weighed more than the others!” The wake of much excitement centered around the Queen contest. Pam Harkless, sponsored by Delta Zeta sorority, was crowned Festival Queen; her runner-up, Diane Nichter from Pi Beta Phi. “The Delts were so considerate and such gentlemen that it made all of us feel like queens’ Harkless said. Smooth organization of the event was attributed to the chairpersons, Randy Worland and Lori Mattix. “It was too well planned, too well rehearsed for anything to go wrong.

We have control over them. It’s down to the wire now...” The 27th Annual Bike-A-Thon, ‘Vic- tory '77,” is the event of the spring which pools campus wide excitement, competi- tion and energy. The race has become an extravaganza, drawing outside media coverage and honored dignitaries. Planning for this super event, which is traditionally sponsored by the Lambda Chi Fraternity, began early last spring and has continued steadily. Because the race is getting bigger each year, more man- power and coordination is needed. “We sponsor the BSU Bike-A-Thon, but it is for the whole campus and reflects on the university as a whole,” said Cliff Reynolds, president of Lambda Chi. With all the hassles and leg work in- volved, organizing the event is as much a mental and physical drain as actually competing. Reynolds said that at times the pressure was depressing, but with all the support from brothers, friends and parents, it was bearable and even enlightening. “Riding the bikes’’ during those two to three hot, exhausting hours of practice each day, gave birth not only to tired bruised muscles, but also to friendships. “Everyone wants to win as a result, but the friendships and good times are there regardless of whether one wins or loses,’’said Sigma Chi team member Dana Berghorn. Sara Boocher, a competitor in the Trike-A-Thon for DeMotte Hall, said, “We have a good team spirit...we are ready. If we win—great! If we don’t—we had a hell of a time practicing.” However, Jill Simmermaker, riding for Little Sisters of the Cobra, was in a frenzie before the race. ‘‘Last night | woke up every half hour...! was afraid I'd sleep through the alarm. | was petrified, really.’’ But once on the track, PUMP PUMP PUMP was the only thought entering her mind.

The excitement of the Trike-A-Thon culminated in the last heat and with the announcing of winners: Alpha Sigma Alpha placed second after defeating third place Kappa Alpha Theta in a run-off, with Chi Omega taking the first-place ti- tle. These teams also took trophies in the sorority competition. Winners in the in- dependent division were Sigma Pi little sisters, Beta Theta Pi lil sis, second, with third place going to Alpha Tau Omega lit- tle sis team. The race was intense. It was a race of courage. Love. Isolation. And satisfac- tion. First place over-all trophy was awarded to the Beta team, who also took first place in the fraternity division. Sigma Chi, Clevenger, Delta Tau Delta and Sigma Nu followed with the next three respective positions in the fraternity division. Coyote Pacing team took first place in the independent division, with Clevenger Whip No. 1 winning the residence hall first place trophey, Williams Pursuit, se- cond, with Clevenger Whip No.2 and Whitcraft Draft following. The spirit award was given to Delta Tau Delta and Sigma Sigma Sigma. The fastest qualifyin g time award was given to Joe Tatman, and the fastest team qualify- ing award was given to Betas. Cindy Adams, sponsered by Pi Beta Phi sorority, was crowned Miss Bike-A-Thon. ae Bike-a-thon Smooth organization by sponsor Tri Sigma includes a numering system to easily identify contestants. Beta Theta Pi “advertises” its name on the colorful uniforms of its little sisters. Don't laugh. Sigma Switch is no longer a comical repertoire of Lambda Chi Alpha’s Bike-A-Thon. It is a serious event where the men ride the trikes and the ladies race the bikes. The competition is rough, the training severe, and the plan- ning extensive. Teams are sponsored by residence halls and Greek organizations while the Tri Sigma sorority assumes total responsibility in coordinating the event. Dreary skies and rain plagued the race on its scheduled date forcing it to be postponed. This meant one thing to competitors—more practice! It did, however, enable the Tri Sigmas to iron _ Out a few of the technical problems which arose. A week later on October 8, the zealous riders seemed slightly nervous as they gathered at the Delaware County Fairgrounds. The sun beat steadily upon the dusty track and excitement mounted as spectators crowded the stands. After a brief warm-up of stretch techniques, the men kicked off the events with the Trike- A-Thon. For the second consecutive year, Joe Lampa smoked the competitors, stealing first place for the Sigma Nu fraternity. Team member Mike Gilpin commented confidently, ‘‘Practice pays off,’’ and coach Lampa agreed, ‘‘We take the race seriously. That trophy is real nice and compelled us quite a bit. But even for those who don’t walk away with a trophy, the race is a lot of fun.” Back in the stands, cheers and songs burst from enthusiastic fans rooting for their teams. The women’s bike race was off as cyclers broke their positions from behind pace cars. The contestants picked up speed—whipping around the track, lurching into the backstretch, and even- tually coasting into the exchange lanes. This momentum was sustained for 20 laps (10 miles). In the pits, many girls massaged and pounded sore muscles as they fought back tears of pain. This was hard work! But excitement superceded agony, and pride took the place of pain as Riding rampant the racers crossed the finish in the last lap. Susan Kinerk led the Sigma Phi Epsilon Lil Sis squad to first place by riding the entire 20 laps. “| didn't expect to win,’’ said Susan as she tried to straighten her cramped legs. She rode her bike ten to twenty miles a day during the summer in preparation for the race. Second place was captured by the Whip Women of Brayton, who finished less than a second behind Sue with a time of 30.27 seconds. Other honors included: Chi Omega, third place overall; Delta Gamma, spirit award; and Alpha Phi, outstanding uniforms. Behind the scenes, Sigma Nu coach. C.E£. Taylor recounted his experience. ‘‘| know at times the girls probably hated me when | pushed them for ‘one more quick lap’ after a tough practice.”’ C.E. felt it was hard to judge just how much the girls could take. “If they were guys, | could make them do laps, sprints, and long workouts without worrying. But even though the girls were good, | didn’t want to hurt them.” He added that coaching was a great experience and felt that he and the girls grew closer to each other. “Practicing became a part of your schedule and after the race we missed it,”’ the coach said. When the girls practiced on the oval at the Fairgrounds, a fearful phenomenon, Manfred, a brown German shepherd, was introduced. It was reported that he ‘‘got loose a lot’’ and bit several girls as they raced around the backstretch. Krista Cameron grew especially fond of Manfred after their encounter. During a practice session, Manfred plunged into Krista’s front wheel, hurling her from the bike onto the ground. Her injuries con- sisted of one broken watch, several black and blue spots, and a slightly bruised pride. Friday, 4 p.m. The stop watches, sug- gestion box, and tally pads were stashed away, the bikes returned to their lockers. The fourth annual Sigma Switch ended and all left the stadium rubbing bruised elbows as they concocted plans for party- ing and celebration. The Chi Omega team holds “‘chuggin’ celebration” following their first place victory in the sorority divi- sion. Team members include Nancy Bryan, Cathy Dick, Rie Akin, Lana Mock, Chris Ogle, and Jennifer Titzer. The team was paired with Alpha Tau Omega. 3 Coach Jeff Smith, Phi Sigma Epsilon, anxiously an- ticipates the 20-lap race as team members Ann Weber, Dee Crosley, and Karen Beach loosen up and unwind for the 10-mile relay.

A warm lively excitement pulsated through the growing crowd. All around me, couples, groups, and _ individuals, clad in everything from casual leisure suits to elegant tuxedos, exchanged greetings and comments concerning the upcoming line. Digging in my purse, | reached for a couple of dollars, purchased a single ticket, and prepared to enter the ‘‘boogie- down” atmosphere of the sixth annual Jabberwock dance.

Being the only white in the crowd would certainly broaden my horizons while providing a unique angle for the story. The ticket line was the perfect place to grab Delta Sigma Theta member Karen Scott to get some background about the dance. She informed me that the pro- ceeds were to go toward Delta scholar- ships and that the main feature of the event was the “‘line.’’ | was curious; | had never seen a “‘line’’ before. “Each fraternity and sorority prepares a dance that tells of its feelings for the group,’’ Karen explained. “It's open to everyone; whites have been here before.’’ Her smile was encouraging. Enough background for now; time to enter and experience for myself. More than slightly nervous, | grasped my notebook and wandered into a crowd of nearly 400 dancers, foot-tappers, and wallflowers. Almost felt like dancing myself. Straight ahead | spotted my first inter- viewee. Clothed in a sauve, cream- colored tuxedo, Muncie resident John Clay slowly puffed a cigar and explained why Jabberwock drew Muncie residents as well as Ball State students. “Everyone comes to check out the line,’ he explained. “Think I'll ‘check it out’ for myself,’’ | grinned. Richard Nichols, known as “‘Little Richard ’ to his brothers and friends, tried to explain the entire “‘line’’ concept to me. “It's something that | can’t really ex- plain; it’s not a dance per se—you move different parts of your body in a rhythm...”” LES: “You mean it’s kind of a feeling? 280) | Jabberwock by Leslie Shiel Or movement interpreting a feeling?”’ RICHARD: ‘’Yeah...yeah, that’s it!”’ | was begining to understand. Sophomore Phillip Noredd told me that the line was a series of stunts and stomps telling of a love of a fraternity. “Many underclassmen that haven't pledged yet judge the fraternity by their line performance,’’ he explained. “Sometimes the line shows a dislike of other fraternities, but it’s all in fun.”’ Aaron Graves felt that the line was an “illustration of what a frat’s into’’;Leona Fountaine described it as a “true representation of a fraternity’; and Cecil Numansker was so _ involved in_ his description that he actually demonstrated some of the possible steps for me. “Your best bet is to stay and watch,” one bystander told me. He was right. After an hour and a half of “‘line’”’ talk, my curiosity was churning inside of me. | had to stay and “’check it out’’ for myself. Midnight. Suddenly a tap on my shoulder and looking up | saw Little Richard. “Hey, Les, line starts in five minutes.

False alarm...a slow number came on and | sud- denly found myself enmassed in a swirling circle of clinging couples. Wandering to the sidelines, | patiently waited for the romantic number to end.

The tension slacked for a moment as the group broke into a_ low-keyed humorous skit that depicted an average afternoon in fraternity living. | laughed with the rest of the crowd, thoroughly en- joying the brief respite.

The onlookers burst into high-strung applause. It was over. All around me people were excitedly discussing the event. The crowd quieted as the Delta Sigma Theta sisters formed their line—a soft mellow chant ac- companied by graceful shuffle steps. As the chant continued softly and serenely, | saw the involved and emo- tional faces around me with a new understanding. | turned away and quietly found my way to the large double doors. On my way out, | felt a gentle tap on my shoulder and looking up, saw Little Richard, He asked me what | thought, how | felt. | opened my mouth to answer; no words came.

While an- ticipating the grotesque fate which awaited most of them, teammates con- gregated on the lawn and parking lot. “Sure hope that mud isn’t as cold and clammy as it looks!”’ “Wow, the showers are really gonna be a mess tonight!’ “If they don’t show soon, we'll have to forfeit or volunteer one of the other pledges.” Secretly, | wished our team would forfeit so this whole ordeal could be avoided.

The annual event, sponsored by Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Chi Omega, of- fered people a_ brief respite from “weekend boredom.” This respite, plus the favorable weather, boosted atten- dance to well above that of previous years. “We had the best turnout that we've had in a long time,’ said Joanne | Trgovich, Circus Feed coordinator from Chi Omega. | Circus Feed attractions included some old favorites. First off was the annual chariot race, which although enthusiasm was dwindling, was still a crowd pleaser. The “chariot” is most likely made of a board, two bicycle tires, and a ‘‘wagon- tongue”’ device used for pulling. Teams of four participate in this event—two riding and two pulling. “The best part of the race,’’ said one observer dressed in a clown costume, “was watching the chariots slowly fall apart. | think the Sigma Nus finished the race without any wheels.”’ The event was won, however, by the Delta Tau Delta fraternity. Carnival booths were a familiar attrac- tion at Circus Feed. The Phi Sigmas had their car smash which allowed people to vent their frustrations in ‘‘three swings for a quarter.’’ Kisses could be won at the Pi Beta Phi Ring Toss Booth. ‘Just hook a bunny by the toe and win!”’ Sigma Chis made a big hit with a pie throwing booth. People tried their aim out on the faces of Sigma Chi brothers with instant-pudding pies (chocolate, of course!) The fraternity used up almost 40 packages of instant pudding and several faces to make their booth ‘‘fun.”’ Although most of the booths were run by Greeks in “mutual support of the system,” residence halls did participate. Mysch and Hurst halls sponsored a body painting booth that attracted Curious attention. Sophomore Dan Peters felt that this was “his type of booth’ because it “allowed me to be so creative.” As darkness fell, musical entertainment provided by Faith, Roadmaster, and Michael Henderson began.

But when talking about “‘influence,’’ a different story evolves—many of the highly-attended events open to the entire campus are sponsored by Greek organizations. Greeks, hall residents, and. off-campus students compete side by _ side in Watermelon Bust, Sigma Switch, and Bike-a-thon. Circus Feed and the Alpha Omicron Pi Marathon draw similar au- diences. Even with this seemingly easy co- existence, a line separating Greek and in- dependents becomes apparent during ‘rush season. According to senior Betsy LaDuke, ‘’Greeks argue for the fun and companionship and always point out higher sorority grade points and pluses of the fraternity house. Independents argue against the ‘money and snobbery’ and the automatic loss of individuality.’ ’’ “But neither side ever wins,’’ she con- tinued. ‘Greeks continue to pledge new members and fraternities and sororities certainly can not pledge every Ball State student.” Rush, on the sorority side, went through some dramatic changes. For the The right to rush first time, Panhellenic Council utilized computers to schedule parties and pro- vide extensive lists. Over 700 girls signed up to rush, with almost 300 pledging. Us- ing the computer caused more sororities to take their quota than in previous years, and allowed those not taking quota to hold a spring informal rush. The system was not without its flaws, however,” remarked Betsy. “it’s already been revamped for the 1977 fall rush.”’ Under new director, Judy Abraham- son, Panhellenic Council served to ‘‘unite sororities and coordinate rush programs.” The council held an interaction within the sororities each month, pairing groups together for activities such as dinners in the suite. As a philanthropic project, Panhellenic Council sponsored a girl scout troup at the Delaware County Home. Together with the Inter-Fraternity Council, Panhel held a Greek Convoca- tion in September, to let freshmen know about the Greek system at Ball State. more...

The pur- pose of the group is to “‘join all pledge classes together’’ and to ‘‘become familiar with the Panhellenic Council.’ Since this was the first year that junior Panhel elected officers, various organized activities were held. A hot dog sale to raise money for the Cambridge Home and a fondue party with Panhel received en- thusiastic response. Fraternities continued a totally in- dividual rush system after an organized first round failed. Individual groups con- ducted their own rush functions, relying on the Daily News to announce their par- ties and on members to bring in friends. Superficially, today’s Greeks are as stereotyped as they were 10 years ago. A closer examination, though, reveals as much individuality within each groups as there are members. Sorority members are convinced that the stereotyped ‘Sorority Girl’’ image has become a thing of the continued past as sororities change to meet the demands of greater flexibility and desire for individuality. Certain grades are the only universal requirement for member- ship. Philanthropic projects are an integral part of every Greek organization. Partially founded to better a student’s university social life, fraternities and sororities pro- vide service to the community as well.

Sororities GREEK SISTERHOOD: Unbreakable bonds ontagious enthusiasm generated a steady buzz of excitement as over 700 freshman and sophomore coeds listened avidly to lectures, questions, and trivia concerning the ‘’Greek’’ way of life. Sponsored by the Panhellenic Council and Interfraternity Council, the Greek convocation was held to promote spirit and spark interest in Greek organizations. Beginning on September 25, the sororities began three weeks of extensive rushing under new rules along with the use of a computer. ‘Using the computer took a great deal of responsibility away from Panhellenic Council and _ the sororities themselves, making it easier for everyone,’’ said general rush coordinator Betsy LaDuke. The weekend before rush was a busy time for the Alpha Chi Omega sorority. The members sponsored the annual Watermelon Bust to acquaint the campus with Greek life. The $800 proceeds were donated to a fund for cystic fibrosis. Under the leadership of President Con- nie Chaplin, the Alpha Chi’s participated in Sigma Switch, Spring Sing, Bike-A- Thon, Campus Chest, Sigma Chi Derby Days, and homecoming, and won first place in the Lambda Chi Alpha Operation Kidnap. Having the highest scholastic average on campus for 27 years, the Alpha Chi’s showed their appreciation to the faculty members by hosting a faculty tea in the Teachers College and nursing depart- ment. Besides the sorority, members of Alpha Chi Omega were involved in other Campus activities such as Cardettes, Pom Pons, and Mortar Board. “Our sorority is small and due to this we can not be as active in all campus ac- tivities as we would like,’’ said Susan Presley of the Alpha Kappa Alpha. ‘As the years go by, we try and squeeze in a major campus event, but sometimes we wonder when non-black students will par- ticipate in our activities. Our Sickle-Cell Anemia Drive is held every year, but those that contribute are usually the same peo- ple.

Switching various ideas and programs, the sisters met the national officers as well as chapters from all over the Midwest. The conference was followed by a formal dance. The sorority also won the spirit award in Sigma Chi’s Derby Days and par- ticipated in the Alpha Omicron Pi Basket- ball Marathon. Thea Tyler won a scholar- ship from the graduate sorority chapter in Anderson, and Inonce Day was awarded a traveling grant to the Virgin Islands from the National Sorority Office for the highest overall grade accumulation during her pledgeship. For the first time, Alpha Kappa Alpha became a member of Na- tional Panhellenic and went through rush beginning in the fall. “In the future years, we hope that whites and blacks can together sponsor an event that will be supported by all,” concluded Presley. ‘| hope the publicity will be on the same level instead of a full page for one event and not even a tomb- stone for another.” Celebrating their twenty-fifth anniver- sary at Ball State, Alpha Omicron Pi participated in Sigma Switch, Spring Sing, Derby Days, Bike-A-Thon, and Watermelon Bust. Highlighting the year was the annual basketball marathon held in March. Proceeds from the marathon were donated to the Arthritis Foundation for research grants. Alpha Omicron Pi is the only sorority on campus that spon- sored a major philanthropic project the size of the basketball marathon. Officers include Alexis Johnson, president; Mary Shee ts, vice president; Cathy Church, treasurer; and Marcia Farrow, secretary. more...

The group also sponsored three teams in the Alpha Omicron Pi Basketball Marathon and placed first in the seed- counting contest at Watermelon Bust. An international dinner, and aResident’s Tea hosted for the administration were added events. In the area of service, the organization worked mainly with blind students, spon- soring the annual Hannah’s Holiday Cor- ner Bazaar, proceeds donated toward Aid to the Blind and cancer prevention. “Closeness’’ began Delta Zeta sister Susan Locke, ‘‘that’s what makes Delta Zeta so unique. We all know the true meaning of sisterhood; we have the love and understanding for each other and help each other out whenever needed.” Under President Susan Locke, Delta Zeta sponsored the annual Homecoming Tea for queen candidates. As their local philanthropic project, the group spon- sored a Bridal Fashion Show with the pro- Detta Zeta.

Sororities 238 GREEK SISTERHOOD continued Weekend, retreat, Senior Banquet, and Big Brother-Little Brother Party. As a philanthropic project, Pi Beta Phi worked through Channel 49 to raise funds for a specal education student. Officers included Karen Pardieck, presi- dent; Denise Ingram, rush chairman, and Judy Corcoran, vice president. The members of Sigma Kappa were greeted with a stunning surprise when they opened the doors to their suite in early September. Thinking that the suite would already be totally redecorated and ready for upcomng activities, the sisters quickly saw that the carpenters had torn down old closets and hadn't even started redecorating. According to President Jani Lange, ‘‘Two inches of sawdust was on everything; the suite was finally finished at midnight the night before the first par- ties. Although it sure wasn’t funny at the time, it is now!” The ‘‘Tri-State-Weekend”’ highlighted the year, according to Lange, because “not only did the sisters have fun at the fraternity house at Tri-State University, but they also performed the pledging ceremony that established a new Sigma Kappa chapter—the first sorority at Tri State.” Headed by Lange, as well as Deb Johnson and Carol Houston, vice presidents; Deb Jones, recording secretary; Diane Meal, corresponding secretary; Laura Hepp, treasurer; Theresa Batmaker, registrar; Georgann Walker, rush chairman, and Barb Nielsen, social chairman, the group held a summer retreat, pledge dance, closed dance, Homecoming Tea, and Parents’ Weekend. Community projects included sending a Christmas box to the Marine Sea Coast Mission, adopting ‘‘Mrs. Griley’’ as a “grandmother,” and raising money for Gerontology through a car wash. In- dividual honors went to Sharon Zoretich as one of the first women to become a member of Blue Key and Nancy Walker as Co-captain of the women’s swim team. The purpose of Sigma Sigma Sigma is to “uphold sorority ideals, promote superior scholarship, promote Greek unity within the national chapters, to establish a perpetual bond of friendship.’’ Under President Marcia Tague, Vice President Nancy Lapunka, Secretary Debbie Woodroof, Treasurer Susan Lawson, and Education Scholarship Chairperson Linda Corbitt, the groups sponsored two major service projects. A Candy Kiss Sale (in conjunction with all national chapters) was held to raise money for playrooms at the Cardinal Glennon Memorial Hospital in St Louis, and a ‘Pitch for Kids’ helped to sponsor children in the Special Olym- pics. Other Tri Sigma events included an Alumni Tea, Pledge Dance, Closed Dance, Founders’ Day Banquet, and the fourth annual Sigma Switch. Debbie Grif- fith served as Junior Panhellenic Presi- dent. Tri Sigma sisters Sharon Wright and Donna Rays relax and study in the comfort and convience of the sorority suite. Located in Wood Hall, the suite is us- ed for individual relaxation as well as for meetings, dinners, and rush activities. Sororities ee aaeeEE——EEeeee ee a Fiorescent lights burn brightly throughout the massive houses lining Riverside’s ‘frat row.’’ Beers in hand, groups of ‘‘brothers’’ get together with groups of “’sisters’’ to celebrate the end of another week of studying. It’s a rowdy Sat urday night and the weekend fraterni- ty bashes are alive and well. But those ‘‘bashes’ aren’t the only things that are alive and well for Greek members. Community service projects, campus wide activities, marathons, clos- ed dances, and sincere efforts to upgrade scholastic standards comprise major por- tions of fraternity living. Slowly but surely the old ‘‘nothing but party” fraternity stereotype is desolving. “We tend to be different from the ‘stereotyped’ fraternities where, although we engage in many social events, we do not stress ‘partying’ as a major aspect of Alpha Tau Omega,” said ATO President Brent Carter. ‘‘We place stronger em- phasis on academics, recognizing it as one’s chief purpose in college, and on social service, attempting to help the university and community.” Under Carter and other officers Ronny Collier, vice president; Mark Downham, treasurer; Bob Combs, recording secretary; and Al Smith corresponding secretary; Alpha Tau Omega tried to sponsor one service project a month. Pro- jects included a Christmas party with an orphanage, Easter Egg Hunt with Muncie Boys’ Home, Chicken Feed for the univer- sity police, and collecting for various charities. Ronnie Collier, Bruce Metsker, Mary Cohen, Glenda Jones, and Becky Stewart “goof off’ at an Alpha Tau Omega party at the start of the school year. Although parties are a part of ATO life, the brothers try to ‘‘place a stronger emphasis on academics.” Beta Theta Pi.

John Marconnit took first in the intramural pad- dleball tournament and Brent Carter plac- ed first in his division of form competition in a Karate tournament sponsored by the United States-Korean Tae Kwon Do Association. Carter feels that group participation was at a maximum and momentum at a peak. ‘‘We try to be more selective in choosing our members utilizing a strict screening process during rush,” he said. “This tends to limit the number of men we pledge, but for us, quality is much more desirable than quantity.” Spririt has been especially high at the Beta Theta Pi house because ‘‘we have a new house mother.’’ Under President Dave Mehas, the fraternity participated on 32 teams in intramural athletics placing first in the bowling fraternity division and second in cross-country and three-man volleyball. Mark Byrell placed first in the campus wide trampoline competition and second in free exercise. Seven of the brothers are Cardinal cheerleaders. Aipha Tau Omega.

Under officers Dave Amick, president; Doug Cook, vice president; Bill Kitch, recording secretary; Gary Read, cor- responding secretary; and Jim Reed, ) treasurer; the group’s purpose was to “provide an alternative lifestyle for undergraduate men along with a friend- ship for now and for years to come...to maintain high moral, social, and scholastic standards.’’ The organization’s closed dance drew the largest response. more... ee te en It requires skill, concentration, and is a great tension reliever—the exotic art of frisbee toss.

The chapter was honored by having Larry Beck named Phi Sigma Epsilon “National Man of the Year.’’ Terry King became the university freethrow cham- pion, and the group placed second in the intramural fraternity bowling division. Sporting teams in all major intramural sports, the Phi Sigs added a new six-man power volleyball squad to their athletic ac- tivity list. Aside from athletic activities, the frater- nity held a closed dance in Fort Wayne preceded by an afternoon golf tourney. Its homecoming float, themed ‘The Longest Yard,” placed third in float com- petition. Officers inclu ded Mark Rowland, presi- dent; Steve Erskine, vice president; Jeff Passage, treasurer; Jay Mattern, cor- responding secretary; and Herb Bittinger, recording secretary. Sigma Alpha Epsilon viewed the pur- chasing of the adjoining property to their houses (giving them a total of three houses) as the most important aspect of the year. President Keith Cripe felt that the purchase actually increased the op- timism and enthusiasm of the 70-member group. Under Cripe as well as Vice President Bob Ruthig, Secretary Chris Story, and Treasurers Erick Frim and Paul Auble, Sigma Alpha Epsilon “promotes in- dividual growth, life-long friendships, and community service.’ Activities included a Christmas Dance, a closed dance at Roadway Inn in Indianapolis, and par- ticipation in Sigma Switch, Spring Sing, and Bike-A-Thon. The group also won the Campus Chest spirit award. Over 3,000 people attended Sigma Alpha Epsilon’s annual Circus Feed which featured three bands. The group’s Muscular Dystrophy Dance-A-Thon was held in the Muncie Mall to raise money for research and development. In_ early September, the fraternity welcomed students back to school with an all- campus party attened by 800 people.

Five brothers were selected for ‘‘Who’s Who in American Colleges” ; eight became members of Blue Key; and Cardinal Corps. According to president Dick Hester, “spirit was high because the chapter won the Peterson Award for the Best All- Around Chapter in the state.’’ The frater- nity also won the National Peterson Significant Chapter Award, a National Scholarship Award, and a National Public Relations Citation. Over $1,000 was raised through the 308 Fraternities fun-filled activities of Derby Days held in late October. The proceeds went to Wallace Village, a school for minimally brain damaged children located in Col- orado. Derby Day activities included a ral- ly, Smile Cards activity, Chugging Con- test, Penny Voting, Derby Day Games, and Queen contest, and involved all of the sororities. Sigma Chi also sponsored the Miss Ball State Scholarship Pageant (proceeds going to the American Cancer Society), a Heart Fund Bowling Tourna- ment, Westminister Village Project, and participated in the Big Brother Program of Delaware County. Dick Hester received the Indiana Balfour Award for the outstanding undergraduate Sigma Chi in the state; Jeff Bryden was awarded the College of Business Scholarship, and Rick Allen, Garry Ciochina, and Pat Elward received fraternity scholarships. Aside from Hester, other officers in- cluded Rick Skiles, vice president; Bob Hague, recording secretary; Phil Keipper, corresponding secretary; and Gil Hirschy, treasurer. Under President Bruce Clark, the Sigma Nu’s had the highest grade ac- cumulation of the fraternities, and the on- ly accumulation above the all men’s average at 2.7. The fraternity also won the second place all-sports trophy with first place team rankings in gymnastics and several other sports. Greatly involved in campus activities, the Sigma Nu’s placed first in Sigma Switch and second in Watermelon Bust. As a philanthropic project, the group sponsored an Italian Dinner in conjunc- tion with Kappa Alpha Theta and rang bells for the Salvation Army. The fraterni- ty’s annual spring concert, which featured Firefall, received campus-wide response. Sigma Nu also held a White Rose Formal as a closed dance and Sigma Nu.

Sigma Chi brother Ned Warner braves the Muncie monsoons to promote the fraternity’s ‘Derby Days.’’ Proceeds for the Derby Day games, rally, queen contest, and chugging competition were donated toward Wallace Village.

Fraternities GREEK BROTHERHOOD continued “This fraternity has something for everybody,’ remarked Sigma Phi Epsilon Corresponding Secretary Jim Woods, “parties, sports, campus activities, and a close brotherhood between a group of men.” Taking the largest pledge class on cam- pus with 48 new men, the fraternity in- itiated 35 new members during fall rush. Spirit was especially high in the area of sports, as the fraternity placed first in in- tramural three-man volleyball, and in in- tramural fraternity cross-country. The group has won 11 out of the last 13 all- campus sport trophies. Under President Wil Florin, Vice Presi- dent Joe Chapman, Recorder Mike Johnson, and Corresponding Secretary Jim Woods, Sigma Phi Epsilon sponsored an All-Campus Homecoming Party and a. Casino Night during rush. The Little Sisters placed first in Sigma Switch. Individual honors went to Wil Florin as co-captain of the Cardinal soccer team and Most Valuable Player at the Indiana All-Star Soccer game, as well as being named to ‘‘Who’s Who in American Col- leges.”’ Members of Sigma Tau Gamma “started over this year with new young men with great spirit.’ Under President Dan Minch and Vice Presidents Bob Tonkel, Kurt Hospers, and Steve Glenn, the group sponsored a closed dance, Mom’s and Dad’s Weekends, and a Cancer Drive.

Jim Anderson and Mike Hannon attempted to break the world egg-throwing record in hopes that the attempt might start a trend sparking fraternities to do crazy things. Hannon also breeds and shows dogs, winning top honors with ‘‘Rudi’’ in the Spitz category of the annual Anderson Dog Show. The fraternity member rides a bicycle over 1,000 miles each year. Adding to the fun, active member Bill Kerschner caught and trained a bat to roll over at his command. Under Bill Cecil, president; Vance Darr, vice president; Jim Anderson, treasurer; and Jim Lucas, secretary; Theta Chi tries to “promote brotherhood among its members and to better the community by extending a helping hand.” Activities in- cluded a Parents’ Weekend, homecoming party, closed dance, and the annual Ox Roast. Zoning regulations were a real problem for the fraternity, and according to member Warren Distler, ‘The university has no plans to help the fraternities. They have a sink or swim attitude and rules that resemble Catch 22...” Members of the Theta Xi fraternity real- ly roughed it this winter because their house didn’t have any heat. Other than that, the 35-member organization didn’t have to face any major problems. Under Kevin WHundere, president; James Donlan, vice president; Rod Lelja, secretary; and James Johnston, treasurer; the group sponsored the annual Tug-O-War the Sunday after homecom- ing festivities.

BACK ROW: Deidre Herzberg, Cheryl Snider, Jon Fisher, Sandy a Spreading some sunshine lt has been said that apathy runs high on the Ball State University campus — that no one cares. This is not entirely true. In fact, a growing number of BSU students care. They care for more than a “‘text- book’’ education. They care for others and show it by volunteering their talents and free time. Where are these students, these volunteers who care? A great majority of them were at the Student Voluntary Ser- vices (SVS) open house in_ early September. According to SVS Director Pat Volp, 400 students participated in the program each quarter. “Of course,”’ Volp said, ‘‘it’s, not like the volunteering craze of the late sixties, Volunteers today are fewer in number, but more dedicated and realistic about their commitments.” Volp feels that the organization exists to provide service-learning opportunities on a purely voluntary basis. “The ‘service’ is involvement in pro- grams that meet special educational and recreational needs of the Muncie com- munity and surrouding areas,’’ Volp ex- plained. ‘‘The ‘learning’ is the resulting gain that each student makes in terms of personal and professional development and growth.” According to Volp, SVS has “a little something for everyone.’’ Cambridge House, Gateway Tutoring, Headstart, Parkview, and Tuesday’s Children are just a few of the various programs offered. In addition to these regular activities, special events included swim parties, Christmas caroling, and open houses. New pro- grams included study halls for low income children, social visitation s to the Veterans’ Hospital in Marion, and a recreational program at the Indiana School for the Deaf. bILZ = Service Projects Brian Lawton of Shales Hall was one of many chesters representing residence halls, sororities, fraternities, and other organizations during Campus Chest activities. Most of the collected $3,700 was distributed among campus organizations. “The main problem we have,” Volp stressed, ‘‘is getting the word out to the students. Many students who have gone through four years at Ball State are sur- prised to hear of our program and express disappointment at not having par- ticipated.” “However, through increased publicity, intensified mailing of brochures, a speakers bureau and more events like the open house,” Volp continued, ‘‘we hope to let students know we exist.” The New Castle project involves work- ing with patients in a mental hospital twice a week. Project chairperson Scott Kaiser said the program was a definite learning experience for him. “| went out there expecting the worst and was pleasantly surprised at what | found,” he said. Scott hopes that his pro- ject will banish student biases and stereotypes of the mental institution. “SVS extended my range beyond just campus life,” said Dorrine Johnson, chairperson of Headstart. ‘| was also a way for me to meet new and interesting people.”’ SVS wasn’t the only organization in- volving students from residence halls and Greek organizations alike. Throughout late October, Pepsi bottles, nurses, shields, toilet paper rolls, and firemen in- vaded the campus as representatives from different groups collected money as part of the elaborate Campus Chest cam- paign. “If only | had more time to collect,” sighed Sigma Nu Lil Sis Diana Lee. Dressed as a Pepsi bottle, Diana said she really learned how friendly people on Campus were as they threw money into her collection bucket. “I've really learned something from people,’” agreed Baker Hall resident Doneta Underriner. ‘Il can’t pinpoint it; | thought they would feel bothered, but they've really given.”’ Representing Kappa Alpha Theta, Carolyn Smith stood for hours on the pathways collecting because she “‘liked to do crazy things.” According to chairperson Linda Zagrocki, Campus Chest acts as a guide to different groups on campus to raise money for various charitable groups or people on campus and in the community. “It can be termed as the students’ version of the United Way,” she said.

The money was raised through such events as hall auctions, jails, dances, kissing booths, and car- nivals, as well as Greek and faculty events. As an added attraction at the hor- ror film festival, committee members dressed as monsters to entertain the crowds. A reception tea and penny vote for the best ‘‘Chester’’ was also held.

Someone in a dusty maroon automobile breaks the morning calm, awakening students through a glorified microphone: ‘‘Rise and shine, Ball State! It's time to get up after those late-night parties.’ And John J. Pruis throws the first ball in an unlikely basketball game between the Sigma Chi Streakers and Genghis Khan. Is the monsoon season affecting the minds of those pursuing a college educa- tion in Muncie? Or, is it the annual Alpha Omicron Pi Basketball Marathon? Teri Elliot, publicity chairperson for the event, reported that $2,500 was given to the Arthritis Foundation. ‘‘We don’t keep any of the money,” she explained. ‘’As the firstAOPi chapter in the nation to have a basketball marathon, we have received national recognition.” The sisters began collecting donations two days before the marathon and sold T- shirts to add to the funds. All kinds of teams, serious and silly, from the Klipple Kisses to the Taylor Penthouse Players, participated in this form of Hoosier Hysteria. “Each team plays two thirteen-minute periods,’ said Teri. ‘‘We keep a running total to the scores and award prizes in men’s and women’s as well as “‘A’’ and ““B” categories after everyone is finished playing.” “It gets a little ridiculous after staying up half the night to watch people play basketball,”’ laughed Teri. She went on to say that the fun begins when people start coming in after parties. ‘‘We have to be up so long without taking a break, that we sometimes get a little crazy. This year we were up dancing with the band at 1 a.m.” The band plays to liven things up throughout the sighing hours of the mor- ning. “Most of our teams are from the dorms,” stated Teri. ‘‘We get some flack about the marathon being a totally Greek thing, and it’s not at all.”’ Alpha Omicron Pi president Alexis Johnson was pleased with the support of the campus and community. ‘The mara- thon was successful, primarily because of (RRS SSE, SR SE RS SS a SS - Basketball | Marathon a good community reaction of sponsors and those attending.” March 20, 1977.

And some tired but happy AOPis return to their suite, ready to donate a weekend’s work to a charitable cause. Jan Chapman clears the floor as the marathon slow- ly comes to an end. Throughout the first morning of the service competition, Alpha Omicron Pi sorority members rode through campus making an- nouncements about the games. The entire campus was invited to participate, causing Greeks and residence hall members to work together for a com- mon purpose. SS ie a en tern — Banevolk member Robyn Fisher prepares herself for a performance while lining up before the dance. Entertainment was provided by campus organiza- tions at various intervals throughout the marathon.

Debbie Brook, Alpha Omicron Pi, collects money from cars at the stop light for the Arthritis Founda- tion.

Living in a residence hall involved a lot more than bunking down for the night or studying at a wooden desk. Serving as a resource for hall living activities, the Residence Hall Association (RHA), made up of representatives from each hall, pro- vided information to and for member halls, served as a forum for an exchange of ideas, submitted recommendations when necessary, and in short, sought to improve residence hall living. “Group participation is at an all-time high, and the feeling of loyalty to the halls is fantastic,” remarked an RHA advisor. “1 don’t know why, but this year’s RHA is an outstanding group to work with.” Various halls held special activities the week of February 6 as part of the RHA On Botsford Hall.

Other activities included workshops and the Great Lakes Assocation of College and University Residence Halls (GLACURH) convention held in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Under president Robyn Beatty, residents of Baker Hall sponsored various activities which ‘‘appealed to males as well as females.’’ Included was a ski trip, Parents’ Weekend, haunted house, cof- fee houses, and a special ‘kidnap breakfast’’ to welcome the freshmen. Baker also captured runner-up in the powderpuff football tourney. Members of Beeman Hall seemed especially impressed with their new direc- tor, Linda Franke. Under Franke, the hall drew up a new constitution which banish- ed the escort policy for males. For the On Campus Days ‘‘Wide World of Interest,’’ the hall sponsored a Planned Parenthood Program.

A trip to a Cincinnati Reds Game and King’s Island was the most successful hall event. Under President Sally Stephan, the hall’s philosophy was to “provide not only a place to eat and sleep, but a true ‘home’ for the residents.”’ The hall was active in many sports events, with Marilyn and Carolyn Hoff- man and Leane Wells leading the volleyball team and Pam Arnott leading the bowling team with a 225 game. Residents of Crosley Hall placed first in the On Campus Days Splish Splash water relays. The hall also held a progressive dinner between floors, a Mothers’ Weekend which included a bridal show and talent show, a formal dance, and hot- dog-and-potato-chip study breaks during finals week. Individual recognition went to April Thurston as an Indianapolis 500 Princess, and Jane Johnson as president of Ball State’s RHA. According to vice president Jan Johnson, ‘there is more unity in the hall this year because of freshmen who say ‘let's get involved.’ ’’ Johnson went on to say that Director Jean Cannon is a ‘super lady—she’s really young at heart and very Crosley Hall.

Although she is 52, she acts like she’s 21.” DeMotte Hall president Dawn Roth feels that ‘‘DeMotte hasn’t been known for its spirit in the past years, but this year we're really starting to make ourselves known.” The DeMotte girls placed several teams in both Tug-O-War and Homecoming Kick-Off Games, and, ac- cording to Roth, ‘‘did really well,’’ collec- ting a couple of trophies for the straw necking races. The hall also received a trophy for collecting the most money for Campus Chest. Concerning in-hall activities, the DeHority Complex Dance and Parents’ Weekend seemed to draw the greatest response. For Parents’ Weekend, the residents staged a variety show and drew raves from a large audience. Edwards Hall residents experienced a hall unity probably unlike that felt by any other hall. Drawn together by the destruc- tion brought about by fire during winter quarter, the residents put up with damag- ed ceilings and furniture throughout even the spring quarter. Several residents could not live in their rooms for four days. Under president Pat Bathurst, the men of Edwards sponsored two discos, two coffeehouses, several movies, a Fathers’ Weekend, and a variety show. The group won two trophies during On Campus Days and won the residence hall division football championship in intramural com- ptition. According to social chairman Dave Abraham, ‘‘the hall was really involved in all kinds of athletics and other activities.”’ Chris Kappes and Kevin Jones were featured at the coffeehouses, and two residents were members of University Singers. more... wi li io NS y lf ity.

Halls Football mania...The ‘77 football season generated more student enthusiasm and spirit than any other event of the year. The goal of a Mid-American Con- ference title drew supporters not only from sororities and fraternities, but residence hall dwellers, and off- campus commuters as well. COMPLEXES continued What does one do in a co-ed senior hall in which all residents must be 21 years of age because alcohol is permitted? Well, according to Elliot Hall president Larry Timperman, one parties a lot. ‘‘We had parties for the end of every quarter and for a lot of special occasions.”’ “Most of our programs were directed toward post graduate concerns,”’ Timper- man added. Residents throughout the campus were often attracted to Elliot because of the rustic lounge atmosphere. Some of the most popular activites at Howick Hall were discos with ‘‘Kokomo Joe’”’ Whitaker and an Intra-Hall Brain Bowl Competition. The hall also spon- sored ‘‘Handicapped Boxing,’’ an event that was cancelled after three sessions due to what hall governor Nelson Brown called ‘“‘medical worries of the Health Center.’ For Christmas, the Howickers sponsored a special dinner for day care children. Howick was activie in campus ac- tivities, participating in Splish Splash, Tug-O-War, and the LSD Campus-Wide College Bowl, taking second place overall in the homecoming games. Howick also placed several intramural football and basketball teams into competition. Hurst Hall enjoyed the rather am- biguous distinction of being a hall of both Hurtbut Hal.

The late-night antics of the second and fourth floors were heard throughout LaFollette and sometimes in neighboring Johnson Complex. Yet the hall consistently placed second only to Swinford in grade point average for men’s residence halls and eight men recorded perfect 4.0 averages. Activities for Hurst Hall included a trip to Market Square Arena for a Pacers game, a trip to King’s Island, several wienie roasts, a spring formal, a disco dance,and spring variety show. The Hurst men also fielded some 20 intramural teams and took third place trophies in Splish Splash and homecoming games. Favorite activities included pool, keg- smuggling, and, until the old table was replaced with a new one which happened to be programmed for destruction, foosball. The residents of Hurlbut decided to go ice skating this winter and rented a skating rink in New Castle for that pur- pose. According to Les Anne Dant, hall ee ee ee eee president, ‘’Ten minutes before leavng for New Castle, we found out that we had rented a roller skating rink.’’ Not all ac- tivities for the co-ed dorm were sucha “‘disaster,’’ however. Hurlbut’s quarterly coffehouses were well attended as was the ski trip and the closed dance. Even the ice-turned-roller skating party turned out to be fun. more.,. Hurst Hall Counc.

COMPLEXES continued According to Klipple Hall residents, “Group participation has been low because of all the many other activities going on outside of the hall.’” The hall did manage to get together teams for Sigma Switch, Spring Sing, and Tug-O-War however. Under president Teri Baumgart- ner, Klipple planned a ski trip with Howick, but like many other halls, had to cancel out because of bad weather condi- tions. Thea Emard, who placed in the top ten, was Klipple’s candidate for Homecoming Queen. The hall’s director, Sue Wild, is new to Ball State. Following much controversy, Knotts Hall finally arrived at a way to hold its “Ceasar’s Palace’ casino night legally. The hall did not charge an admissin and handed out free tickets for door prizes to all attending students. Besides the casino night, a disco dance (which featured a special disc jockey and took place after a delicious chili supper) and a Friday Night Hamburger Grill were extremely well at- tended hall events. The hall also took part in several service projects. At Christmas time, Knotts competed with Edwards in a canned goods contest with the 1,000 obtained cans being sent to needy families. Under president Pam McCrary, Knotts prides itself on having an unique director, JoAnn Hairston, who sings in the shower with a bar of soap in the shape of a microphone.” A new no-escort policy was adopted and visitation hours were extended. Ac- cording to McCrary, the fires occurring at Edwards Hall (which also evacuated Knotts residents) caused ‘‘residents to become very close. They displayed an unique unity among themselves.’ Residents of Mysch Hall changed from a tri-president form of hall government to a single president system. Students felt that pranksters pulling the fire alarms A moment of solitude is often considered a luxury when living in the residence halls. A break in after- noon classes give Mysch resident Sylvia Witt a short “breather” in which to collect her thoughts. caused major problems at times within the hall. Under president Lisa Evans, Mysch Hall sponsored a Little Kin Weekend, Parents’ Weekend, exercise classes, and a very successful Valentine Day Dance. The hall took second place in the homecoming relay games and held a disco dance as part of LaFollette Days. Proceeds from the disco were donated to WLAF, the LaFollette radio station. The hall placed first in intramural football competition. more... e 4 ew, COMPLEXES continued “Our spirit is just about the same as last year,’ remarked a Painter Hall resident. “We have just a few people doing everything and some _ people doing nothing.”” The few people that did do something in Painter Hall, though, managed to capture second place in Watermelon Bust, second in Splish Splash, and first place in the Heart Fund Bowling Tournament.

The group also decided to adopt a no-escort policy as well as to rewrite its governmental constitution. The girls of first floor Rogers were feel- ing ‘‘kind of crazy’’ one night and decided to ‘‘tape their noises, make teeth out of orange peels, and parade up and down the halls.” Another ‘‘crazy’’ resident skated her way into the hall council meeting one night. Added to the list of Rogers Hall fun and games was a Little Kin Weekend, Dial-a- Dog project, pizza demonstration, and Secret Santa gift giving. The group plac- ed first in the Watermelon Bust eating contest and sponsored an ‘‘excellent”’ coffeehouse. As a service project, Rogers sponsored a representative to ride in the Diabetes Bike-a-Thon. The hall was under the direction of president Susan Leiton. Schmidt Hall was the scene of several controversies throughout the year. Discussions were held in late spring about the possibility of Wagoner Complex turning coed, therefore turning Schmidt into an all-male residence hall. Schmidt residents were told that if this happened, they would have first chance at living in either Botsford or Wilson. Schmidt residents were active in in- tramurals, placing first in basketball and leading the LaFollette-Johnson Complex intramurals. The hall was awarded the On Campus Days spirit stick and placed first in the ‘’B”’ division at the Alpha Omicron Pi Basketball Marathon. Painter Hal.

Since several pieces of fur- niture were taken from the lounges, residents were asked to either split the damage bill or return the furniture. Under president Ken Roberts, Shales Hall held a formal dance, a canoeing trip on Sugar Creek, and a trip to King’s Island. For Campus Chest, the hall spon- sored a water toss and a jail (residents were arrested and the proceeds from “‘bail’’ were donated to Campus Chest). Resident Mark Donovan placed first in the ping pong tournament. TO. No time for company...Beth Phillips, a freshman from Anderson, is caught cramming before finals.

Swinford’s homecoming lawn display (built in conjunction with the entire Johnson Complex) placed second in display competition, and its Tug-O-War team placed third overall. Resident Doug Robinson took second in the Alpha Omicron Pi Heart Fund Bowling Tourna- ment with a high series of 433. In in- tramural bowling, Swinford teams placed fourth overall, and in cross-country, the hall took first in the residence hall division and second overall. A ski trip to Michigan was a ‘‘first’’ which really turned out successfully. The residents also traveled to Cincinnati to see a Reds game. Most of the students living in Swinford are honor students and many are up- perclassmen. Throughout the fall and winter quarters, Swinford carried the highest grade point average for a men’s residence hall. Resident Alice Smith honored Tichenor Hall as the best dressed Chester for Cam- pus Chest. Hall activities included a pro- gressive hall dinner, a formal dance, anda Wednesday activities night. The purpose of the events was to ‘‘get the residents of the hall together, so they could get to know each other.”’ could get to know each other.”’ Officers felt that spirit was higher in the hall than in previous years because the residents ‘‘weren'’t in little cliques on each floor, but got together more as a whole floor.” As a service project, the residents went trick-or-treating to an orphanage at Hallo- ween. Tichenor is headed by president Cathy Lowring. Throughout the various dorms on cam- pus, signs offering the services of hard- working painters could be seen.

Wagoner also sponsored an Escort Service for coeds walking home after dark, many disco dances (which received tremendous response), and WAGO radio. As a Ser- vice project, the groups sponsored ‘‘Ball State of Muscular Dystrophy”’ for which they received national recognition. A combination of Burkhardt and Jeep Halls, Wagoner Complex worked especially hard for the ‘‘ultimate goal of promoting coed living within Wagoner.” Residents felt that Jack Gibbons, the new director of Burkhardt Hall did a ‘‘tremen- dous job in helping the residents reach that goal.’ According to Rex Sharp “Through intensive work by the officers, directors, and a few members of the hall, the prospect of reaching the coed goal is very good. To do this, we have organized more events than any other hall on cam- pus.” aa wr Perhaps hoping to shed the ‘zoo stereotype of Wagoner, the officer con- tinued, ‘‘Through these events we have shown Ball State that Wagoner Complex is just as good, if not better, than any other hall on campus.” Several of Wagoner’s activities were in conjuction with other halls on campus, such as a Halloween Party with Wilson and Schmidt, suppers with Beeman, DeMotte, and Wood, and a ski trip with Tichenor and Trane. Residents felt that spirit reached its peak during the homecoming football game when over 400 residents formed a cheerblock. Sharp went on to explain that in order to create unity withing the hall, Wagoner developed a ‘coat of arms’’ which could be seen on any Wagoner poster. Athletically, the complex has made a name for itself through its ‘‘Wazoo” basketball team (the team placed first in the final residence intramural rankings), and the ‘’Kelgers’”’ bowling team (which placed first in the residence hall division). More than any other hall, Wagoner pro- bably felt the pinch of the parking pro- blem. ‘’The parking problem on the south side of campus is attrocious,”’ said Sharp “and Wagoner must suffer the brunt of the load.” more...

Residents felt that first year director Gary Kron was “‘very good!” and that hall participation was at an all-time high. “We've got the best, most unique director on campus,” stated a Wilson Hall resident, referring to Susan Wazner. ‘‘As a residence hall director we wouldn't trade her for the world!”’ Under presidents Kathy Curin, Robin DeWinst, and Luanne Jena, Wilson residents decided to change to a no- escort policy after a trial period of one month. In order to get more students in- volved in hall government, the group ap- pointed four new standing committees. Hall activities included a Mothers’ Weekend, Fathers’ Weekend, Little Kin Weekend, a closed dance, and participa- tion in Spring Sing, Miss Ball State, and several other campus activities.

As a service project, the group gave out Christmas baskets to needy families. The hall also held a film festival, Parents’ Weekend, and Little Kin Weekend. Various residents called Woody Hall the “volleyball kingdom of the campus.” Aside from having an avid interest in volleyball, Woody residents sponsored a hayride, ski trip, closed dance, and “Woody Skaggs.’’ Queen of the “Skaggs” was Jo Ann Gorman. In campus wide events, the hall became overall Campus Chest winners, and sponsored a special blood bank. At Halloween time, Woody raised money for the dorm by baking ‘‘ghoul-a-gram” cookies.

Individual recognition went to Kandi Hutson as a varsity cheerleader and Cindy Nulf as a piano player for the University Singers. The hall was under the leader- ship of president Kay Church. Snacking, talking, and general ‘‘proscrastinating’’ often take the place of studying within the residence halls. Jeep Hall residents Mike Miller, Kurt Mussman, and Rick Crowder find that the dining service food just wasn’t enough.

The reaction seldom varies. ‘‘We considered the total performance as one of the very best we have ever seen, anywhere by anybody...’ — _ Indiana Secretary of State. On the weekend of March 11-13, the University Singers did it again. On each night’s performance of Spectacular ‘77, near capacity crowds became hooked from the beginning. Music lovers of every age nodded their heads and tapped their toes to the contagious beat of “‘It’s the Best Disco in Town” and remained en- tranced through two hours of music rang- ing from a Barry Manilow medley to the series of academy award winners and nominees of the past 42 years. Dazzling the audience, Spec singer Beth Easley thrusts her voice throughout Emens with “Blues in the Night.” She left the audience enthralled with her performance, and returned for a second bow to calm the continued applause. tein, Glen Bruns, Todd Heri.

Technically, however, the show was far from a smashing success. Problems with microphones, lights, and cues prevented a technically smooth show, and Universi- ty Singers technicians battled with union technicians and vice-versa. The singers themselves refused to dampen a lively enthusiasm. According to drummer Jeff Craig, ‘‘The show was very tight and well produced. Singer Jan Morgan put it more succinctly, ‘There was no time to be unhappy or any reason to gripe because we were all working for the same goal.”’ When showtime came, the high- spirited singers and musicians were ready for it. Pianist Joni Harmon felt that, despite the technical problems, ‘Everybody was excited about the show. The directors were impressed with it, we felt good doing it, and, to top it off, the critics were pleased with it.” Spectacular...simply spectacular! The real story of Spec ‘77 was not the singing or the technical problems, but the more than 14,000 ‘‘man hours” that went Veteran singer Chris Mathew solos with George Benson's popular ‘‘Masquerade.’’ A senior from Highland, Indiana, Chris has been with the Universi- ty Singers for four years.

Work began on the first Monday of quarterbreak, and from that day on it was ‘’Spec” for the singers from 9 a.m. until close to midnight everyday of the break. Said first-year member Rhonda Peck, ‘‘We really got to know each other during that time. We really got to be a tight group.” Jeff Craig called the instructor by directors Larry Boye, Les Taylor, and Robert Buchhol z “pretty intense, strict,’” but he added, “'| enjoyed it and got to know a lot of nice ladies.”’ Group sentiment ran along the same vein. Most agreed that working 15 hours a day in Muncie, while friends and room- mates were sunbathing down in Florida, was a grind but a worthwhile one. Most also credited the directors with keeping the morale high, and the, directors were presented with Spec Spirit Awards which they wore faithfully around their necks all three show nights. Another morale- booster was the selection of secret ‘’fire- up partners” during a pre-show dinner at Ponderosa. Adding fun-filled humor to Spec ‘77, the University Singers momentarily portray television’s ‘’Brady Bunch” in a special medley ““T.V. Tunes” arranged by Bob Bucholtz. Perfecting ‘the Pride’ by Amy McVay Professor Harold Hill would have been proud. The 210 members of the Ball State Marching Band are not unlike those who played the 76 trombones and marched in rows and rows of the finest virtuosos. There is something close to magic that transforms Levi-clad students into a band that can razzle-dazzle home football fans through rain, snow, or gloom of Muncie late October. Being a member of the ‘’Pride of Mid- America” requires a special discipline. There are, of course, practices on the field in front of Bracken Library in that rare autumn sunshine. But, on the other hand, there are practices in the Indian Summer Monsoon Season. So what's the point? Why do students join the band? “I'm in marching band to get involved with a lot of people...you make music together,’’ stated Paula Huhnke. “Marching band is for me,” believes Mike Miller, ‘‘because | have to learn it to teach it.”’ Nancy Schulmeyer added, ‘‘Even though I’m not a music major or minor, I've enjoyed music since junior high school. Marching band is a good break from classes with ‘writing’ homework.” Paul O'Connell remembers a few good times on the Toledo trip and said, ‘’l love marching...it is just a lot of fun.” But Janice Reynolds, in one word, summed up the majority of reasons why one joins the band, ‘‘Experience!”’ “The band is a social organization as well as a musical one,’’ stressed Sue Mlekodaj. ‘It’s an excellent way to meet new people.” 3 Music “We changed our marching step from ‘ankle-knee’ to ‘corps,’ ‘’ Sue continued. “The step is much easier on the body.” Musical performance major Phil Black agreed with her adding, ‘’There is a frater- nal spirit among band members; we’re really a close group. We had good drum majors — Jim Yarnell and Mark Pulley — and a lot of really good times.” And the director? ‘Hello, is Roger McConnell there?”’ “No, he’s out with the band. Can | take a message?”’ Once again. ‘Hello, is Mr. McConnell there?”’ The trombone section...in the background...loudly playing excerpts from ‘’Chorus Line.” “No, he’s not, can | take a message?” Once the appointment is made. “Mr. McConnell will be right with you...he’s with the band.” The key to a good band, according to McConnell, is dedication. ‘‘The band practices three days a week during foot- ball season,’ he says. ‘And let’s not forget Cardettes, twirlers, and flag girls — they practice four days a week.”’ Who could forget the Cardettes? Twenty-six energetic coeds practiced two hours a day during the week, three hours on days before home games, and two hours preceding the actual performance. Under choreogapher Sue Riney, and cap- tains Karen Smith and Becky Robbins, the dance and drill team performed at Parents’ Day, the homecoming show, and the Alpha Omicron Pi Basketball Marathon as well as at all home football games. “It's a lot of hard work, but it really pays off,’’ said Becky Robbins. “’l enjoy it because it’s fun to get up in front of peo- ple — it’s the little bit of ‘ham’ in me!”’ Although Barb Riney joined the corps because she “‘loves dancing,’’ she has decided that this is her last year. ‘‘Too much time and hard work!” “We have a partying audience — let’s face it,’’ says McConnell. ‘‘And the weather can be a big factor also. We don’t anymore like parading up and down on a wet field than the fans like sitting huddled under umbrellas in the stands.” “But marching band is a_ current idiom,’’ he added. ‘‘We like to show off our best wares, and the marching band is a forerunning part of the music program.” So what is it that makes Ball State's marching band unique this year? “It's the character that makes our band special,’’ replied McConnell as he anx- iously peered through the glass into a practice room.

Throughout the festive Christmas season, tuba players comically entertain at the Muncie Mall. In the cold dark hours of a wintry morning, a lone flute player perfects a complex composi- tion. Whether it be through a special holi- day performance, an emotion-filled con- cert, or a casual impromptu jam session, student musicians added warmth, color, and life to the cultural development of the university. Under director Larry McWilliams, the Jazz Ensemble featured a newly-added String section. Besides playing various concerts for the community and schools, the members of the Ensemble sponsored their annual jazz concert in May. Conte Candoi, trumpet soloist from the Johnny Carson Show, was the special guest celebrity. During the winter quarter, members of the Wind Ensemble toured high schools in Elkhart, Hobart, and Westville. Featured soloists included Bill Vits, Larry McWilliams, Tom Senff, and Dave Greenhoe. The Concert Band also toured the Cen- tral Indiana high schools throughout the spring. Phil Black on the tuba, Dave Mar- tin, playing the french horn, Phil Lewis on bassoon, and Naomi Schlack, clarinet, were featured soloists. Marching Band members traveled to the University of Toledo and played background for tenor saxophonist Candy Johnson at High School Band Day. As a whole, the music organizations spon- sored the second annual Invitational Festival. The festival was open to high schools, involving several workshops. For the first time, the festival was open to or- chestras and choirs. An Alumni Weekend was also held in May. Officers for the Concert Band, Wind Ensemble, Varsity Band, and Marching Band included Wayne Stubbs, president; Bradley Roberts, vice president; Susan Melkodaj, secretary; and Sam Crum, treasurer.

Director Roger McConnell reports that Phi Mu Alpha sponsored the American Composers Day Recital and also. a_ series of music-disciplined speakers, both of which were successful. The Sinfonia won the Charles Litton Award as Outstanding Chapter in the Great Lakes Region by showing measurable achievement in seven categories: musical achievement, frater- nal tradition, membership development, special projects, and alumni relations. Sigma Alpha lota, a_ professional organization for women in music, co- sponsored Spring Sing. Under director, Dr. Jocelyn Mackey, the honoraryialso co- sponsored a music scholarship and donated money to the Muncie Symphony Orchestra. Officers included Sandy Espelta, president; and Kathy O’Brien, vice president. The highlight for the 20 members per- forming as University Debs was the fifth annual Potpourri held in February. Ed Velte, director, also lined up several singing engagements for the group throughout the Muncie community. They sing; they dance; and do they like to yell! University Singers, with their fearless leader Larry Boye, sang just about everywhere. According to Tracy Wood, a two-year member of Singers, the Indiana Delegation Inaugural Ball was among the most exciting engagements. “We did not get to meet Carter,’’ she said, ‘‘but it was still pretty exciting.” Singers also sang, as they do yearly, on the Bob Braun Show. Beginning practice at the start of winter quarter, the singing troup admirably performed ‘’Spec ‘77. “This was one of the hardest Specs we’ve put on,’’ Wood concluded. Mu Phi Epsilon.

Sees Leading the way H ighlighted by a bicycle auction in the fall and the Bob Hope show in the spring, the Student Foundation raised a substan- tial amount of money this year to be used for scholarships. With a high degree or cooperation and involvement by all members, the Student Foundation had a very successful year with their goal to raise money and accept donations for stu- dent scholarships. The foundation was composed of 12 students and four faculty members, including Rob Whittle, presi- dent; Randy Pickell, vice president, and Carol Schoelkoph, secretary treasurer. The Student Senate completed another year as the only organization on campus which represents students as a whole. Greater participation and attendance helped to improve the effectiveness of the Student Senate at their weekly meetings. Jodi Taylor served as president of the Student Senate; Kathy Davis, secretary; Jim Parks, treasurer, and Joe Hammer, Student Association president. Sigma Chi’s annual atempt to find the “perfect” Ball State girl was held on April 2. After meeting every Wednesday even- ng for three months, the Miss Ball State Steering Committee, headed by Mark Scharer, successfully put on their annual scholarship pageant. The pageant was held at Muncie Central High School's auditorium at a savings of $800. Al Rent served as master of ceremonies and reign- ing queen Sue Ellen Cain entertained by playing the piano. All proceeds went to the American Cancer Society. And now a word from those folks who brought you the ‘““SCGB book,” the stu- dent’s plan of campus survival. The Student Center Governing Board (SCGB), designed to utlize the services of the Student Center and to provide cam- pus activities for students, sponsored many successful events this year in- cluding ‘‘One Big Party,” a plant sale, the film series and video tape program, ac- tivities and disco nights, and speakers such as Donald Bogle of NORMAL. A new event was “One Big Party,”’ an array of activities in the Student Center. Events included an art show, movies, a dance, and a pizza-eating cntest.

Given a total budget of about $7,000, it was John’s responsibility to choose 15 films that would appeal to students. “| tried to select a wide variety of movies to appeal to as many students as possible,’’ he said. “Students’ reactions to the films were really favorable,’’ John said. ‘The only problem was trying to get University Hall reserved to show the films.” SCGB President was Ned Warner and Mona Watkins served as_ secretary- treasurer. Chairpersons, working to pro- vide varied activities, were: John Wilmore, films; Deb Scott, publicity; Bec Shrode, ideas and issues; Dean Crawford, outdoors and recreation; Mike Earley, public relations; Chuck Brungard, fine arts; and Pam Pawl and Judy Johnson, special events. i Miss Ball State Steering Committee.

In fact, hav- ing Sharon and Kate as members was a whole new experience to Blue Key as well. The two females were the first women admitted into the Blue Key Na- tional Honor Fraternity. Under Dick Hester, president; Steve Schmidt, vice president; Bruce Hayworth, secretary; and Mark Scharer, treasurer; Blue Key sponsored and organized Alpha Lambda in conjunction with Mortar Board. Another ‘‘first’’ for the honorary, Alpha Lambda is a scholastic honorary for freshmen and will affiliate nationally in three years with Alpha Lambda Delta. The organization annually awards the Blue Key Victory Bell to the winner of the Ball State verses Indiana State football game. Awarded to Ball State, the bell was rung at remaining home football games helping to arouse crowd support and spirit. The honorary also awards the John R. Emens Award to an outstanding Ball State senior. Selection for the honor is based on academic achievement, campus activities, leadership, and personality. Advising Blue Key, Dean Robert Koenker is a former recipient of the Outstanding Faculty Service Award. “Mortar Board is a_ prestigious Organization, and our membership reflects this—each and every woman!” stressed Mortar Board President Susan Patterson. She went on to explain the purpose of the group as ‘‘encouraging the provision of equal opportunities among all peoples, especially to further the status of women.’’ The phrase “‘all peoples’’ has been especially emphasized since the Mortar Board now admits males. Putting together a slide show with the chapter at Purdue University to be used in orientation by the national chapter, the members participated in the triannual conference at Colorado State University. Other activities included a _ collegiate- alumni brunch, and a Senior Honors Ban- quet held in May. According to Sue Patterson, the pro- cess of selecting members for the Pi Lambda Sigma. Kathy Miller, Jack Morris, Debra Stutzman, Donna Roberts, Billie Sheppard, Joe Edwards. organization was ‘‘much more thorough, intense, and short’’ than in previous years. ‘‘The process concentrated on choosing members to lift the standards of the national Mortar Board rather than just accepting a large number of members,” Sue explained. “We have been brought together on the basis of our academic standings, ser- vice activities, and leadership qualities displayed within the organizations we are members of,’’ she continued. ‘‘We are a group of highly competitive, talented, and intelligent young women—the creme de la creme of Ball State!”’ Now in its third year at Ball State, Rho Lambda, the National Panhellenic Recognition Society, “‘is beginning to grow and take roots,’’ according to presi- dent Pat DeWitt. The Ball State chapter was only the second to get started in the United States. Honoring women within Panhellenic who have been ‘‘outstanding in the display of demonstrated leadership, abili- ty and loyalty to Panhellenic and to their sorority,’’ the organization is under the direction of Pat DeWitt as president; Nan- cy Vinkemulder, vice president; Teresa Ankenbruck, treasurer; and Pam Staggs, secretary. The purpose of Pi Lambda Sigma is to “promote an active interest in the legal profession.’’ Together with the pre-law adviser and Political Science Department, the organization sponsored quarterly lec- tures on law-related topics. Lectures given by admission personal from the four Indiana Law Schools received the greatest response. The group also par- ticipated in the College Bowl. To be eligible for Pi Lambda Sigma, a student must have a grade point average of 3.25, plus 45 hours of credit. The 28- member group is headed by President Billie Shepard; Vice President, Joe Ed- wards; Recording Secretary, Donna Roberts; Corresponding Secretary, Kim Hunter; and Treasurer, Dick Hester.

The soft rustling of pages mixes with barely spoken whispers as_ conscientious students lose themselves in darkly-lit aisles of printed material... Suddenly an eager voice breaks the silence. ‘‘Wow! This is the library? Where am | ever going to find anything in here?”’ None of the studiers even bother to look up. By now they are used to the small groups of high school seniors wandering about the campus under the direction of the Admission Coordinating Team (A.C.T.). The university students who serve as tour guides have become familiar faces around campus. Responsible for hosting all campus visit Opportunities for high school students thinking of applying to Ball State, A.C.T. members ‘‘present Ball State from a stu- dent’s point of view.” Visiting activities included Acquaintance Days, Cardinal Leadership Day, Scholar Day, and open houses for both students and parents. The group also hosted receptions around the state for all admitted students living in that area. A strictly voluntary service organiza- tion, A.C.T. is sponsored by Jan Bass and Mr. Charles Kaufman. the 22- member group is headed by Dirk DeWolfe, president; Pam McClanahan, vice president; Sue Halsey, secretary; and Anita Plencher, treasurer. Members are chosen through a special selection pro- cess in which old members select the new corps. Under president Dick Hester, the Cardinal Corps serves as another personal link between the university and outside visitors. Not all visitors are high school students; however, many are alumni, conference participants, state and na- tional legislators, or professionals in various fields. - Possessing a thorough knowledge of the structure, history, and recent and future developments of the university, as well as a contagious enthusiasm in deal- ing with people, Corps members are chosen through a screening process dur- ing spring quarter. Aside from serving as hosts and hostesses, Cardinal Corps assisted with the president's reception for graduating seniors, the Council of Visitors Meetings, Miss Ball State Tea, and various conferences and athletic events. Realizing that high school seniors are not the only outside group having a special interest in the campus communi- ty, the Alumni Office strives to keep in close touch with former Ball State graduates. Hosting the annual Telefund, the center raised money for scholarships and various student activities by calling former graduates in a telephone cam- paign. The Generations Party, which was held spring quarter, involved a series of activities for the children and grand- children of former Ball State students. Naturally, this generation is also attending Ball State. Working closely with the Alumni Of- fice, the Homecoming Steering Commit- tee coordinated all homecoming events. Directed by alumni adviser Ray Ashley, the group was headed by _ general chairperson Dan Wilhoite. eee Alumni Telefund Steering Committee.

Another one dies in the dust under the track shoes of a jogger in the field Sports Building. There is one in the grip of a coed sitting in the sun in front of Emens Auditorium. The Ball State Daily News is more than something to wrap fish in or flutter in the breeze. Whether or not it is on the top ten list of papers is not the point, the point is, that as Ball State’s daily paper it is the voice of our university. Editors are chosen quarterly and the editor in turn forms a staff. Ken de la Bastide was fall and winter quarter editor and Butch Cravens served as editor in the spring. “The paper's job is to provide the highest quality coverage possible to Ball State students,’’ said Butch. ‘“Whenever something happens on campus or in Muncie, we want students to be able to read about it in the Daily News the next day.” As an editorial feature, the Daily News provides a variety of staff columnists. Kate Duffy, in perennial painter’s pants and Barbara Walters glasses, writes the tickling ‘‘Eve’s Rib.” Charlene Mires is the ‘‘Frustrated Typist.” Whether she is pondering sitting at the scramble light at 3 a.m. or ridding the campus of menacing little green- uniformed girls and their cookies, she is perceptive and witty. And there are the unsung heroes— reporters, copy and production people, etc. Most students agree that although working for the Daily News can be time- consuming, it is worthwhile because of the practical experience—good and bad—gained. Verbatim, Ball State’s quarterly magazine, is another creative outlet of campus. The atmosphere of the Verbatim office J2, is, according to Ricci Atchison, circulation editor, ‘zany and sometimes serious.”’ Staff writer Marmie Houchens believes Verbatim has good potential and is stirr- ing up reader interest. Editor Harriet Smiley added, ‘’The magazine is a form of entertainment that goes indepth on sub- jects that aren’t necessarily news. . .it is an enriching magazine.” 349 Dally News Crossing the Lines’’ was certainly an appropriate theme not only for the yearbook, but for the yearbook staff as well. By trying to show several ‘‘cross- ings” within the academic and social areas of the university, staff members found themselves moving through many crossroads themselves. Striving to overcome the “inconve- niences’’ caused by staff inexperience (almost every member was new including editor-in-chief Pam Ciochina who had never worked on a college publication; and no one knew the basics of paste-up), Orient members were convinced that the ‘76-77 Orient was going to be a remarkable combination of will, creativity, cooperation, and guts. Pam was new, but she had refreshing innovative ideas and involved a wide range of student artists, practicum students, photographers, and organizational people in the book. The initial planning of the book began at the Ohio University College Yearbook Workship in late August. Ironically, the major editors almost missed the workshop that was to eventually set them on their feet. Because of a car that just wouldn't seem to run, four greenhorn editors hestitantly climbed the steps of Journalism Department Chairman Louis E. Inglehart’s front porch at 4 a.m. The chairman actually drove the editors to Ohio himself—just in time for the workshop. Full of new ideas and generating strong enthusiasm, staff members started the year off well. Under head photographer Mike lacono, a graduate assistant from Miami of Ohio, a_ staff of 16 photographers worked _ interchangably throughout three academic quarters. Mike checked for photo quality and head- ed the dark room, as assistant photo editor Dayle Langlois coordinated all photo assignments and schedules. Copy editor Leslie Shiel, with 10 ‘core’ reporters and over 20 outside con- tributers, strived for copy that focused “behind the scenes’’ by being ‘’people- oriented’ ranther than ‘‘event-oriented.” A staff of six designers under layout editor Linda Milligan sought to combine elements in a magazine-style layout, while head bookkeeper Bob Baber, a graduate Editor Pam Ciochina, copy editor Leslie Shiel, and layout editor Linda Milligan compare notes and organizatonal lists concerning a hectic March deadline. Striving for more in-depth coverage and an elegant magazine design, staff members worked “behind the scenes” to draw out student attitudes, opinions. and lifestyles. 350| Orient Brought to you by... assistant from Syracuse, New York; and Lucy Hitzfield, business manager untangl- ed the red tape and financial aspects of the book.

Organizations editor Ed Poe was greatly missed spring quarter when he left the staff to student teach in Fort Wayne. Along with major editors, staff members, and adviser Dave West, dozens of ‘free lance” artists, photographers, practicum students, professors, and “interested parties’ helped produce 480 pages of indepth reporting, photography, and design. And heading it all was year- book newcomer Pam Ciochina—the chief planner behind a year of building and growing for all involved. The staff's first major problem— concerning type—occurred in November. The new typesetting equipment at the Daily News was not operating correctly at the scheduled production date. Nervous- ly, staffers counted the days; the first deadline of January 28 was clearly around the bend, and none of the type had been set. Four weeks...two weeks... deadline — and still we had no type. Miss- ing that first due date merely doubled the pages (and energy) need to meet the next date—just one month later. For the first time, many staff members came to experience the hell of going through real, mind-cracking pressure— that was the only way to describe that double deadline— 160 pages due the same week as winter quarter finals.

Members were only beginning to learn the basics of yearbook paste-up. Several staffers stayed throughout the first part of spring break, and at one point, things actually seemed to be finishing up—until Pam took a good look at the type. Was it just her eyes, or was something distinctly wrong with the type? Sure enough, the typefaces had turned out inconsistent, different. Bitterly disap- pointed, utterly frustrated, staff members sent the majority of the book back to the Daily News to be reset. The Orient staff learned a lot from that deadline. Too scared (and scarred) from that nerve-racking experience to let it happen again, they picked themselves up and delved into the third deadline. This time, the staff at least knew what it was up against. All smirk and no smile? Definitely not— it was the little things that kept the staff moving. Humourous notes and cartoons, courtesy of photographer Bill Vance, decorated the doors of the dark room lab.

At one time or another, every staff member must have stared at the never- ending lists’ of photographs, features, captions, headlines, layouts, and folios that ‘‘are needed by Friday.’’ Every member must have wondered about the people who were “‘sorry, but just didn’t have the time...’ Every member must have wondered at times if it was really “worth it’’... And every member probably occa- sionally caught a glance at the lone poster that hung limply on the clouded Orient mirror: ‘‘Do you believe in something that you've never seen before...’ And suddenly, the phrase ‘’Crossing the Lines’ would take on a whole’ new meaning. 351 Orient Scramble, scurry!

Mark works in the physical therapy division :at Ball Memorial Hospital. A few years ago, a certain, none-too-imaginative gimmick was popular in yearbooks. The gimmick was in the form of a letter, and it made the rounds in college yearbooks from California to Maine. (Moreover, it made these rounds virtually intact; not one staff bothered to change a word of it— which means, if nothing else, that plagiarism is basic to mankind, yearbooks not excepted.) The letter read in part: ‘‘Dear Karen—We have heard about the hippies and drugs at your school, and we want you to remember how much we love you and how you were raised, etc., etc.,...Love, Mom and Dad.” We just don’t get those kinds of letters from home these days. They are relics of an era when students were more concerned with taking over the administration building (‘‘It’s the only way to stop the destruction of Southeast Asia, man.’’) than pulling an A in the ethics of saltpeter management. An era when every mother’s son (except her own, sometimes) was a long-haired, dope-smoking, lice- infested, subversive ,radical, dirty-commie hippie freak (and worse). When fathers spent sleepless nights worrying about the sleepless nights Karen was spending with whomever it was that particular week. Does this description seem somewhat exag- gerated? Perhaps, but it was the image college students had at the time. SO now we are here. But are we just like our older brothers and sisters? Well, sort of. On the one hand, the long hair that designated “hippie” has been replaced by the blow-dried styles that designate ‘‘Lambda Chi.’’ Radios blare the funky sound of disco instead of good, old rock-n- roll. People say that this is a conformist generation, while others say that the preceding ones were also conformist. In the meantime, pigs are turning back into police officers, and it seems that no one shouts obscentities in the Ad Building anymore. Think of it, when was the last time you heard anyone called a ‘“facist. ” It seems that the revolution, like an old soldier, merely faded away, leaving us without a rep to live up to. PST SSE ED SO PR RE ATS SRA AS ET AP EE PET SARS But, on the other hand, the old standards, sex and drugs , are still here; they merely get less press. And is the number of really serious students on the rise? Sure, and so is class attendance. Even beer is making a comeback. All things considered, you have to concede that people still come to Ball State primarily to have a good time. Now, if we on- ly had an image. What luck! In the interest of establishing an im- age, the Orient sent out questionnaires entitled “What is a typical Ball State student?’ to selected students this spring. We won't say the results were, well, spectacular, but results are results. We think they at least show that nothing much has really changed over the years. They are as follows: Beer drinkers and hell raisers are typical Ball State students. William E.

Rick Aingwort Graduate student Ken Collier feels the university ‘should put more emphasis on resarch and upgrade graduate research money available.” He also feels there could be some changes made in student admissions policies. As a graduate student, Ken has par- ticipated in several group organizations as well as individual research on cancer. University Senate, Graduate Student Senate, and Sigma Zeta were organiza- tions to which he belonged. As for his most meaningful collegiate experience, Ken considers “The op- portunities to assume leadership on the campus and in the department, as well as doing independent research” as valuable experiences. He feels the death of Dr. Emens has set 1977 apart from other academic years. gE) hi a stilt Jane Davis “| think that Ball State students, for the most part, don’t appreciate what they have here,’ says Wendy Borst, graduate assistant at the Daily News. “| did my undergraduate work in a small, private college at which there were very few extra-curricular activities, limited choices in course selection, no full-time health care, no daily newspaper, and no physical education facilities. And yet, this is the norm in small , private colleges.”’ “Here at Ball State it’s going to be less personal, that’s true,’’ Wendy continued, “but the opportunities for students are much greater. The general attitude | hear voiced by students is essentially negative; they complain about shortcomings and “Since | came here from Hawaii, | would say the major occurrence of the year was the horrible winter weather. | can’t believe | actually lived through it!’’ says Valerie Dull. “| would like to see a growth of pride about being associated with Ball State on the part of both students and faculty,”’ she continued. ‘‘Despite what some students may think, BSU is the first choice on many college lists.’’ Valerie has been involved in Student Voluntary Services, Choral Union, Stu- take the positive things for granted.

She served as historian of Mortar Board, a Danforth Fellowship nominee, an Off-Campus Association Senator, and in theatrical productions such as “Carmen’’ and “Kismet.” “Getting the unique ideas of all the people around me has been the most meaningful experience,’ Valerie conclud- ed. ‘My experiences, both in and out of the classroom, have been very intellec- tually stimulating.” As president and rush chairman of Chi Omega sorority, Pam Ciochina feels she has “‘prospered greatly from the interper- sonal relationships of her affiliation.” Pam has served as Student Foundation secretary-treasurer, Admissions Coor- dinating Team secretary, and editor of the Orient. Other involvement has included Cardettes, Mortar Board, Rho Lambda, Judicial Court, | University Board of Review, and residence hall staffing. “Behind the desk situations have not pro- ven as valuable as extracurricular involve- ment,’’ commented Pam. She went on to compliment the Office of Student Pro- grams and Dr. James Marine’s efforts. “So many activities are available to students—it’s a shame that more students don’t pursue the many channels that are open.” “It’s a sad case of immaturity...neither understands the other or attempts to,” says Wilfried Florin referring to the ‘‘need for a closer relationship and cooperative atmosphere between non-Greeks : and Greeks.” Involved in Greek life himself, Wilfried served as president of Sigma Phi Epsilon. He feels that participation in Inter- collegiate athletics was his most mean- ingful collegiate experience, stating “‘it was a very self-satisfying experience because of the dedication needed to ex- cel.” The record books reflect how the athlete’s dedication was worthwhile throughout the year. He served as co- captain of the Cardinal soccer team and was named “Outstanding Offensive Player” of the 1976 Indiana East-West All- Star Game. He was also Ball State’s delegate to the model United Nations in New York City. : 357 Who'’sWho | __ = Who's Who Who’s Who Outstanding standouts “The sharing of one’s personal beliefs and feelings with others possessing dif- ferent backgrounds, convictions, per- sonalities, ages, and talents has been the most meaningful experience I’ve gain- ed,” says Jeffery Gentry. For Jeff, this sharing has come mostly through involve- ment in Sigma Chi, along with participa- tion in University Singers, Student Senate, Off-Campus Association, Judicial Court, University Board of Review, Cardinal Corps, Blue Key, varsity cheerleaders, and a variety of other organizations. He feels that encourage- ment to ‘get involved” by the orientation program, other students, and ad- ministrators is ‘‘not only healthy for the individual, but the growth of the universi- ty.” If ever there was a name that was well- known on campus, it was that of Dick Hester. This is no surprise when you con- sider that Dick served as president of Sigma Chi, Cardinal Corps, and Blue Key; director of Student Orientation Corps; student observer to the Board of Trustees, chairman of the Student Welfare Council; and vice president of Student Foundation; as well as serving on University Board of Review and holding offices in two honoraries and a variety of student committees. Dick feels there should be increased student membership in University Senate’ eo — “Being able to help others, sharing meaningful friendships with people, and lerning how God can really bless in so many ways never imagined —these things have been my best experiences,’’ says Doug Germann. Becoming involved in Student Volun- tary Services, Blue Key Honorary, stu- dent staffing, and Residence Hall Association has given Doug many op- portunities to meet other people. He also served as president of Shales Hall. “| feel very positive about my education at Ball State,’” he continued. ‘’| have had the chance to be very active in hall government and campus organizations. The student staffing program has helped me to relate to others better.” eee and that university alumni should give not only financial support but ‘spread the name of Balll State in their respective communities” to promote continuous growth. The senior, who ended his college career by winning the John R. Emens Award for Ball State’s Outstanding Senior, considers his internship with Judge Mario Pieroni in the Deleware Superior Court to be his most meaningful experience. He considers the Ball State atmosphere to be ‘‘friendly and cooperative...a setting for growth, both academic and social.” Jeannine Hamm feels that athletically, 1977 has been set apart from other years. “This year was a big year for sports!” Jeannine referred to the Mid-American Conference Football Title, Jim Holstein resigning as basketball coach, superstar Kelly Marsh breaking records in track, and “volleyball hysteria’ gripping the fans. Jeannine has been extremely involved in Residence Hall Association (RHA), ser- ving as assistant secretary, a represen- tative to all campus committees, in- cluding Alternative Lifestyles ‘76. She also served as president and vice presi- dent of her hall, a timer for the Cardinal men’s swim team, and on the Carmichael Jane Johnson is one those people who made residence hall living something more than just sleeping and eating. As president of the Residence Hall Associa- tion (RHA), Jane feels, ‘‘RHA has moved into different directions; its goals have been redefined and have acted as a resource for hall governments.” Aside from involvement in RHA, Jane was senator, vice president, and presi- dent of Crosley Hall. She served on the Uni-Lead Conference Steering Commit- tee and the Student Welfare Council and would like to see more ‘’student involve- ment in university policy and alternate life styles explained in university housing.”’ “Ball State is an excellent setting to mature in,’ Jane concluded. ‘’The academic and personal development which is available here probably couldn't be duplicated.”’ wm Steering Committee. The junior was chosen as a Delta Sigma Pi rose and was named sweetheart. “Ball State has a very good academic set-up. Some of the major programs need to be reviewed but as a whole most classes are beneficial and taught well,’’ Jeannine commented. ‘The people are basically from the same social class, so relating and making friends is easy with many opportunities available to do so.” Jeannine enjoyed working with RHA, but feels the university ‘‘has too much red tape, whether it be in financial aids or cur- ricular advising. A new direct system needs to be administered.”’ “The learning experiences and respon- sibilities involved with being Student Association president has set ‘76-'77 apart from any other year for me,’’ says Joe Hammer. Joe was also involved in University Singers, Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity, and the Homecoming Variety Show. “I've enjoyed my years at Ball State,”’ the graduate student said. ‘My college years have held many challenges and fond memories.” Joe feels that more student input shou!d be voiced concerning student ser- vices fees. ‘‘There should be more in- teraction between students and the decision-making policies of the universi- ty,’’ he explained.

The kids seem to be part of a big family, not just fellow students. | feel very at home here in the university.’ Katie feels that she has learned more from her out-of-class experiences than from textbooks. She has been involved in Pi Beta Phi as president, University Singers, Blue Key Honorary, Cardinal Corps, Mortar Board, Alumni Telefund, University Senate Creative Arts Commit- tee. She also was the 1976 homecoming queen. “The classroom learning has been good,’’ she sums up, “but the education I've received outside the classroom has beer even more beneficial. It has been great getting to know professors, students, and administrators. All the peo- ple here have been fantastic.”’ 359 Who's Who Who’s Who , Outstanding standouts ‘Housing policies should be liberalized a great deal,”” expressed Tom Knight. Feeling that ‘faculty evaluations should be required and made part of the tenure and promotion process,’’ Tom believes that the academic quality of Ball State has improved the past four years. Hall staffing has proven the most meaningful of Tom’s activities. Other ac- tivities have included Phi Alpha Theta, Gamma Theta Upsilon, Pi Gamma Mu, Pi Sigma Alpha, and Blue Key. “The main difference in my life this year has been looking beyond university life and concentrating on_ finding op- portunities for a career,’’ says Ann Miller. “Ball State really does hold many op- portunities for a student to participate, if the student is willing to look for these op- portunities,’’ Ann pointed out. ‘’I| chose to study music here because the undergraduates have the chance to become involved; you don’t have to be a graduate student or professor to get a part in musical productions.” “! quit school for two quarters my junior year to perform professionally,’ Ann concluded. ‘The experience made me work harder when | returned to school because | had a more realistic outlook on the working world.”’ sad Who's Who = _ eee One could safely conclude that Bob Pickell is ‘‘musically inclined” to say the least. The junior has served as president of University Singers and Executive Council of Music Organizations, attended the Music Educators National Con- ference, staffed at the Mid American Music Camp II, and was a member of University Singers for four years. The ar- tist also served on the Miss Ball State Steering Committee, Homecoming Varie- ty Show, and Sigma Chi fraternity as recording secretary. Bob said that without a doubt being a member of the University Singers has provided his best experiences. ‘The musical and spiritual experiences | have gained from the organization and its director, Mr. Larry Boye, have been over- whelming and too numerous to men- tion!” “If any change could be instituted at the college, | would like to see some of the general studies requirements drop- ped,’’ Bob commented. “‘! realize that by having all these hours required in other fields, the individual becomes well- rounded, but | feel the hour re- quirements are too steep.”’ Having the ‘‘distinct honor of perform- ing with the University Singers at Presi- dent Carter's Inaugural Ball in Washington, D.C. this last January,” has set this year apart for Bob. ‘‘The McClanahan knows everybody!’’—a comment often heard in referring to senior Pam McClanahan. In fact, maybe it would be better stated as ‘Everybody knows Pam McClanahan!” “It's easy to see why Pam is so well known. She was president of Woody Hall, vice president of the Admissions Coordinating Team, rush and standards chairman of Kappa Alpha Theta, a na- tional qualifier on the speech team, and was involved in Student Orientation Corps, Residence Hall Association, theatre productions, Campus Chest Steering Committee, and Delta Tau Delta Little Sisters. “My most meaningful experience oc- curred during my first week on campus as a freshman when | auditioned for a children’s theatre show and got a part. These people made me feel the most welcome, starting my good feelings about Ball State.”’ 4433 fe RAF. So ees ee ee oenoenn Si ERRCCR REGS “Student staffing has been my most meaningful experience here,’’ says Martin McCombs. ‘Not only did it force me to slow down and catch up with myself, but it gave me the opportunity to understand and believe in people once again.” Staffing is certainly not the only. activity that Marty participated in—only the latest. The junior was_ involved in Residence Hall Association (president and vice president), Honors Program, Student Association, Student Voluntary Services, and Public Relations Student Society of America (treasurer, vice president), WBST Radio, Admissions Coordinating Team, Social Activities Board, and Campus Verbatim. soe —_— “NWNith a university of our size, there is an enormous amount of participation in intramurals and leisure-time activities,”’ says Randy Pickell. ‘‘In miy opinion, Ball State needs to either turn University Gym into an intramural facility and build a nice basketball arena; or build a separate facili- ty for intramurals, recreation, and student activities.”’ Randy is impressed with the ‘friendly and comforting atmosphere’ of the university. ‘‘Our campus is without a doubt one of the prettiest universities in the country,’’ he says. ‘The students, faculty, and administrators, as well as the Surrounding community, are very cooperative and supportive of the entire system.” Randy has served as editor and assis- tant pledge trainer for Sigma Chi, chair- man of Generations Party, awards and publicity chairman of the Miss Ball State pageant, director of the Student Orienta- tion Corps program, vice president of Student Foundation, and production coordinator for the special Bob Hope pro- gram held in April. Randy considers “going active for Sigma Chi’ and “‘being selected to Who's Who’” among his finest college ex- periences. ‘Ball State has been an outstanding in- fluence on my life,”” says Jack McDonald. “Being involved as a campus leader has taught me to have a better understanding of various types of people.” Jack was involved in Campus Chest, Student Orientation Corps, Blue Key Honorary, and served Delta Tau Delta Fraternity as president. Although he feels students should have more of a choice in curriculum choosing, Jack says Ball State is an excellent school for a student to grow in scholastic areas as well as social. “My work with the Admissions Office and Summer Orientation Program was very meaningful; | enjoyed the interaction with prospective students and incoming freshmen,’’ says Kathleen McCormack. “| would like to see the university allocate additional funding to the smaller departments in order for them to develop their curriculum, increase the size of the staffs, and improve their facilities,’’ she commented. Kathleen was involved in Kappa Alpha Theta as president and rush chairman, Student Orientation Corps, Admissions Coordinating Team, Student Center Governing Board, Student Speech and Hearing Association, and Speech Pathology and Audiology Student Coun- cil. Other activities included Mortar Board, Kappa Delta Pi Eduation Honorary, and Rho Lambda. “Ball State is a great place to get an education about people and to develop in- dividual potential,’’ says Cathy Pochodzay. ‘‘Its size appeals to both the small-town person and the student who comes from a larger metropolitan area. Because of the mass number of activities and organizations, there’s something for everyone, and yet, no one is obligated to participate.”’ Cathy served as vice president of Botsford Hall and residence hall. chairman of the Homecoming Steering Committee, and was involved in the Campus Chest Steering Committee, Student Voluntary Services, Women in Communications, DRSSA, Alpha Delta Sigma, and Opera- tion Quarterbreak. ___| 361 Who's Who “Unaware to many, students advanced in their relationship with the ad- ministrators,’’ says Stan Richey. ‘’l spent most of my student government years lobbying for the student trustee bill. This year, not only were the eyes of state legislators watching how the student trustee handled responsibility, but the governor as well. I’m proud that the work put into the formation of student trustee has been fruitful.” Actively involved in student govern- ment, Stan has served as president of Stu- dent Association and student observer on the Board of Trustees. He was also in- volved in Cardinal Corps, Admissions Coordinating Team, and _ University Singers. Stan, who says that becoming student body president was his most meaningful experience, feels that more freedom and responsibility must be delegated to the student. “The university should be an_ at- mosphere where students are given the opportunity to develop necessary skills that will benefit the individual in whatever endeavor he chooses in today’s society,”’ he said. E 4 “Ball State reminds me of a sleeping giant, comfortably sprawled over the plains of East Central Indiana,’’ Steve Schmidt says. ‘’The_ possibilities generated by Ball State could stagger the imagination if only students, faculty, and administration would awaken and utilize the facilites at their disposal.’ Steve, a member of the Student Chapter American Institute of Architects, the Delta Tau Delta fraternity, Blue Key National Honor fraternity, the Campus Chest Steering Committee, and the Banevolk International Folk Dance troupe, served Ball State in the Student Orientation Corps., off-campus student 362 Who's Who W ho’s Who Outstanding standouts senate, and as a student observer to the Board of Trustees. Steve attended the 1973 presidential in- aguration of President Nixon, traveled to Montreal and Toronto on the second an- nual architecture field trip, and to Boston on the third annual architecture field trip. He feels a change in attitude would benefit the university. “‘| have always secretly pictured Ball Sate as Emerald City, with McKinley as the yellow Brick Road,’’ Steve says. ‘In other words, a place of opportunity. | think if more peo- ple looked at Ball State as a tool for the achievement of personal hopes and dreams, amazing things could take place.”’ Garry Rollins David Shadinger cites ‘“graduation’’ as being his most meaningful collegiate ex- perience. David's contacts with Ball State did not stop at graduation; he furthered his education by becoming involved in several graduate organizations. The graduate student served as public relations coordinator for the Indiana Stu- dent Association, president of the Graduate Studen t Association, and co- founder of the International Student Association. He was also involved in the University Board of Review and Student Senate. David feels that the university could make positive changes by giving the students greater control over a larger por- tion of decisions concerning activity for student organizations. Off-campus living is not included in Georgeanna Rosenbush’s milieu of col- lege experiences. Georgeanna has done more than just live in the residence halls— she has directed hall programs, staffed, held hall offices, and won hall awards. Georgeanna served as vice president of the Residence Hall Assocation (RHA), director of the Great Lakes Association of College and University Residence Halls (GLACURH); student staff, president and vice president of Tichenor Hall, and a Stu- dent Orientation Corps leader. She also attended the Uni-Lead Conference and the national and regional conferences of CLACURH and NACURH. Billie Sheppard feels that ‘more responsibility and representation should be given to students on the University Senate.’” She says that participation in student government has comprised her most meaningful experiences. Specifically, Billie has served as presi- dent of Pi Lambda Sigma, secretary of the Public Administration Organization, and secretary of the Off Campus Associa- tion. She was also involved in Student Senate, Judicial Court, Judicial Review Board, Young Democrats, Admissions and Credits Council, and Student Elec- tions Committee. “| would like to see the Greek system become stronger all around, but Ball Sate is a young college; it takes time,” cites Mark Scharer. An architecture student, Mark feels the university is maturing in such areas as ‘‘administrative control over the students in the dorms, and efforts to let the students express themselves. ”’ “Involvement” is an understatement to Mark, who has served as treasurer of Blue Key, director of Derby Days and the Miss Ball State pageant, and public relations chairman for Sigma Chi. He has also taken active roles in the Student Auditorium Advisory Committee, Car- dinal Corps, Student Orientation Corps, and Student Chapter of the American |n- stitute of Architecture. “Ball State is small enough to get in- volved and to frequently see people you know and still large enough to offer a large variety of independent lifestyles for all,’’ Mark says. Being involved with the College of Architecture and individual people through campus projects has set the stage for Mark’s most significant col- legiate experiences. a. “This year has marked a certain change in student attitudes—from a more carefree and easygoing style of recent years to a more aware and involved spirit marking the campaign year,’’ believes Christine Slack. Christine had plenty of opportunities to observe this change in attitude through her varied activities. She was involved in Delta Zeta as president and rush chair- man, Rho Lambda, Kappa Delta Pl, Lambda lota Tau, Sigma Alpha Epsilon Little Sisters, and Student Orientation Corps. “| have enjoyed my years at Ball State immensely and feel lucky to have gone to a school which has every opportunity of the large universities, yet, retains the feel- ing of a smaller private school. To me, this is the most appealing aspect of Ball State.” 363 Who's Who | i ‘The magazine sequence in the Depart- ment of Journalism is in dire need of ex- pansion in classes, funds, etc.,’’ stresses Harriett Smiley, editor of Campus Ver- batim. Although the need exists, Harriett feels that 1977 was a very successful one for the magazine. Aside from publications, Harriett has been extremely involved in Delta Sigma Theta, serving as suite chairman, cor- responding secretary, and on the Scholar- ship and Jabberwock Program Commit- tees. She was also a part of Cardinal Corps. Harriett feels that Ball State is compris- ed of ‘beautiful school grounds and facilities and a lot of friendly people.” Dan Wilhoite considers Ball State ‘‘an excellent home away from home.” Dan feels his best experiences have come through involvement in Delta Tau Delta and Student Orientation Staff. In the fraternity, he has served as treasurer, social chairman, and public relations chairman. Aside from being a student Orientation Corps leader, Dan served as Parent Coordintor for the ‘76 Orientation Staff. Dan‘s ‘‘outside”’ activities include the Homecoming Steering Committee (business manager in ‘75, and general chairman in ‘76), Cardinal Corps, Concert Band, Concert Orchestra, and Symphony Orchestra. As for possible university changes, Dan feels ‘‘students should have more control over the budgeting of their student ac- tivity fees.” set be Who's Who Ann Stairs grins as she considers the unique events of 1976-77. ‘‘One an- nouncement made me _ feel quite honored,”’ she says. ‘‘In February, | was selected as Ball State’s nominee for the first Eleanor St. John Award, recognizing the state’s outstanding collegiate senior woman athlete. The winner is selected on the basis of scholarship, professional leadership, and community — service. Although | was not chosen as the state recipient, it was indeed an honor to repr e- sent Ball State at the banquet.” Aside from her athletic activities (coed volleyball, basketball, varsity tennis), Ann was involved in Kappa Alpha Theta as chaplain and assistant pledge trainer, Mortar Board, Phi Epsilon Kappa (physical education honorary), Student Center Governing Board, Student Orien- tation Corps, Student Education Associa- tion, Connection ‘76, and Brady Hall Ex- ecutive Council. PS a ee “The change | would like to see brought about would be pretty difficult; I'd like to see more student unity. I'd like to see students begin to view college as more than just four of five years away from home, preparing to get a job. | would like to see them view it as a ‘com- munity,’ all working together for it.” And so states Susan Yates. Susan found several opportunities to work for ‘‘student unity.’” She served as secretary-tresurer and president of the Admissions Coordinating Team, vice president and president of Delta Tau Delta Little Sisters, ‘76 Student Orienta- tion Corps director, and on the Danforth Foundation Project and Student Leader- ship Workshop. Although Jane Taylor would ‘‘like to see more student involvement,’’ she says she has enjoyed attending Ball State. “The physical education department is excellent,’” she remarked. Jane has been involved in Aquarians, Mortar Board, and the physical education honorary, and has served as president of the PEMM Club (Physical Education Ma- jors and Minors). Linda Zagrocki feels happy that she chose Ball State as the school in which to further her education. ‘| am really glad | decided to come to Ball State,” she says. “Ball State is not a real small school, nor is it very large. It’s the perfect size and of- fers a variety of activities for students to become involved.” Linda became involved in Campus Chest, the Student Association, Sigma Pi Little Sisters, Rho Lambda Honorary, Sigma Kappa Sorority, and served DeMotte Hall as council president. The 76-77 year was set apart from Lin- da’s other years because students were more involved in running for Student Association offices. ‘People actually were excited about running for SA of- fices,’’ she says. ‘Being elections board chairman, this was really a boost from last year.” “l_ was very lucky in getting to meet many administrators and to attend several meetings where | saw how our university is structured and how it operates,’” says Jodi Taylor. ‘| feel | understand much more the reasoning behind many things on campus. | wish every student could see and understand our university in this ‘different light.’ ”’ Jodi was given this opportunity mostly through an active role in student govern- ment. She served as vice president of Student Association and president of Student Senate. The senior is also heavily involved in LARC (Language Arts Reading Competencies), tutoring elemen- tary children for class field experiences. “| have really enjoyed much of my classwork (that’s a part of college too, you know),” Jodi says. ‘Tutoring children through LARC in reading has been very rewarding.” Judy Tipton will definitely leave something behind her when she finishes her masters at Ball State—the Better Business Bureau. As an undergraduate student, Judy helped to set up the Bureau, and enjoys ‘’seeing it still in operation now.” Judy served as alumni rush advisor for Delta Zeta, co-organizer of The Better Business Bureau, and was named to “Outstanding Young Women of America.’’ ‘Being a graduate assistant and finding there are many college ex- periences yet to be found” has_ set this year apart for Judy. “‘l also liked being flown to different states for job interviews on their money instead of mine!”’ “Honors student” doesn’t seem to fully describe Sharon Zoretich—a member of Lambda lota Tau, Mortar Board, Rho Lambda, Blue Key, and Phi Society. Aside from the honoraries, Sharon was involved in Sigma Kappa, Student Orien- tation Corps, Campus Chest Steering Committee, Student Association (recor- ding secretary), University Senate, Homecoming Steering Committee, University Review Board, Judicial Court, Writing Clinic, and Panhellecnic Associa- tion (treasurer). “| feel | have benefited tremendously from the many social and academic ac- tivities | have been involved in, but | often find many of professors do not seem to share my enthusiasm on this subject; they feel that students should be here for sole- Who’s Who Outstanding Standouts ly academic reasons,’’ Sharon pointed out. “| agree with them that a student's academic record is the most important consideration, but that certain well- chosen activities are also necessary if the student is to have a true ‘university’ education.” Sharon feels that her work in the Honors Program and with the Writing Clinic has provided some of her best ex- periences. She would like to see greater numbers of out-of-state students attend Ball State and a more structured pre-law curriculum. Before entering Indiana University’s law school, Sharon's four years at Ball State were highlighted by receiving the John R. Emens Award for the outstan- ding senior. — Who's Who PATRICIA A.

In fact, for many pro- fessors, lectures are based on individual experience gained from outside jobs. Such is the case with instructor Richard Dailey. Aside from teaching state and local government courses through the Political Science department, Richard Dailey is greatly involved in the field of law. “| have just concluded my law practice with Slagle and Shirey of Muncie,” Dailey explained. The lawyer is from a family that has been involved in law for more than a hundred years. On January 1, 1977, Dailey became the new judge of Delaware County Court 2, having been elected the previous November. The new judge enjoys his different roles in both law and teaching because of the great interaction with people. “| enjoy teaching immensely,’’ he ex- plained, ‘‘but | will continue to teach only as long as the hours don’t interfere with the court hours.” Richard Dailey is a court judge first, and a teacher second. As judge of Delaware County Court 2, Dailey combines personal experience anecdotes with lectures for his political science classes. LAWRENCE G. BAKER Muncie, Accounting JOANNE M.

Steve's interests vary from astrology to devising his own phonetic alphabet. The alphabet is based on the shorthand princi- ple, but with his own type of characters which he finds easy and quick to write. The walls of Steve’s room are covered with astrological posters along with a col- lection of medieval cartoons and a satirical description of his zodiac sign, Gemini. Steve also displays a poem he composed for the Carmichael literary magazine, ION: The lions were Roman in the Colosseum when some girls were thrown in forum. One said to the other, “Ceasar!'’ He did. He was gladiator. Pre-law is Steve’s major with a minor in phlosophy. He aims to pursue a career in corporation law after attaining an educa- tion as diversified and complete as possible. The Cleveland native speaks French, Swedish, Latin, and English. He has in- vented his own language, named after himself, fashioned in Swedish, which he learned from his grandparents, but with changes in grammatical order and spell- ing. “| invented this language for my own use in writing poetry and essays that are too personal for anyone else to read,” said Steve. Writing serves as an outlet for his emotions. Although it is not unusual to love music, Steve, a Whitinger scolar, main- tains an extreme appreciation of classical music but relishes satirical compositions such as PDQ Bach or Spike Jones music. He has no aspirations to set the per- formance field aflame, but enjoys playing and composing sonatas for the kazoo, recorder, guitar, and psaltrey—a medieval instrument similar to an autoharp and zither. Composing for the harpsichord, alto saxophone, and bassoon, present Steve with a challenge because he does not actually know how to play the in- struments. After taking a course in astrology at In- diana University Southeast near New Albany, his hometown, Steve learned to chart a person’s life according to stars. His view is not as strict as many patrons of the science. “A chart can show forces of your per- sonality, but it doesn’t actually rule a per- son's life,’ said Steve emphatically. Although he does have a sincere interest in astrology, Steve feels there is no future financially in it as a career. “I'd rather be rich,’” he said honestly, adding, ‘It sure helps anyway.”’ b Known as ‘Merlin,’ Steve Gustaf son speaks four different languages and has invented one of his own. He also plays a variety of musical instruments, including the psaltrey. STEVEN L. CASSEL Muncie, History TANA B. CASSELMAN Kendallville, Physical Ed. REBECCA L.

The ironic thing about the situation was that musician Max Maclin didn’t have to say a thing—the melodies resulting from his talented performance along with the presence of a portable electric piano in his Elliot Hall room said it all. “Music is a part of me,’’ said Max, ex- plaining his early involvement in the art. The musician’s father used to work in a piano factory, urging Max to plink out simple tunes on the keys. Along with a keyboard talent, Max became interested in voice development. “| like to help people learn to control their voice—not their voice to control them,” said Max. Besides performing on the piano, clarinet, and saxophone (his favorite), Max was instrumental in the formation of a Campus House choir. He is also a member of a jazz group ensemble and a gospel singing group. “Music is an art that you can speak of as a language,’’ Max explained. ‘‘It isn’t for myself; it’s an expression for other people.” Indeed, the young musician’s musical expressions represent a beginning; his music is a new language all its own. “Music is my_ life—it’s...well, it’s just...me...

Instead it has striven to retain its Greek heritage and traditions. That is how Vicki likes and wants it. She is intensely proud of her Greek origins. “| live for the Greek way,” she said. Belly dancing is just one of the ways she proves her point. Belly dancing is not unique to Greece. It began in ancient Egypt and gradually spread throughout the Middle East to Greece. In the United States, it has become something of a fad in recent years. Still the most common reaction of Americans to Vicki’s performances is one of awe. “Ninety-eight per cent of them just say ‘| don’t believe it’ over and over again,’’ she says. Vicki appreciates this reaction. ‘’A lot of people,”’ she explains, ‘‘see belly danc- ing as sexually symbolic. Others can watch it and not really see it. Very few Americans see it as the art it really is. Like any other artist, | show an original talent. When people react with disbelief, it shows that they recognize that | put something into my performances.” Among the things she puts into her per- -formances are dedication and a lot of hard work. She practices at least an hour every day and teaches the dance at Muncie Gymnastics School three days a week. “Most of my students think belly danc- ing is really easy until they try it,’’ she says. ‘‘Then they can’t believe how hard it is.” Vicki would like to dance professionally some day, although she does not want to make it her career. In the meantime, she is content with being popular at parties. Greek culture, in the form of the cheftitelli (belly dance), is a large part of Vicki Armstrong's life.

Aside from preparing usual class assignments, Smith hosts the Chan- nel 8 television series ‘“‘When Movies Were Movies.”’ “I've always been a movie buff,” ex- plained the professor. An Indiana Univer- sity graduate, Smith began his television career on WTTV in Bloomington. He then worked at WISH in Indianapolis before coming to Ball State in 1975. The ‘‘movie buff’’ teaches radio broadcasting, in- troduction to film making, foundations of broadcasting, and the internship pro- gram. “Movies are bought in packages of usually 40 to 50,” said Smith explaining the basis of the series. ‘‘As the contracts on these movies neared their expiration date, there were several old ones that hadn’t been run.” “| thought we should put all these old moves together to form a series,’’ Smith continued. The series started out as the late late show on Friday night. Later, because of the high ratings it r eceived, the show was moved to Sunday. “Many stations have a problem in get- ting people to stay up on Sunday night,”’ Smith explained, ‘‘so they move shows with high ratngs to that time slot.”’ The tactic worked— Dave Smith hosts a show that is number one in its time slot inIndianapolis. Forming a film series of old movies, Dave Smith hosts the Sunday evening program ‘‘When Movies Were Movies.’’ The television host also teaches film and broadcasting courses. LAURA K.

FLEDDERMAN Batesville, Political Science When Jeff Wadman_ considered becoming a residence hall floor staff, he thought it would be interesting to “live on the other side of the fence.’’ According to Jeff, the transition from “just living’ at Swinford Hall to being a staff at Williams Hall has been rewarding but also difficult. “Probably the toughest thing,”’ Jeff said, ‘‘was that when | was a freshman and a sophomore, | partied a lot. Now | have to tell the guys on the floor not to do the same things that | did.” The junior listed a number of reasons for his becoming a staff. ‘Basically, | thought | would like to get out and prove to myself | could do a good job and han- dle the responsibility.

We’re supposed to recall that if something should come up “But the biggest responsibility as far as I'm concerned,” Jeff said, “‘is to be a friend to the residents. | think many of the guys came to school not expecting to have many friends here and that’s what they need most, especially during their freshman year.” Often, problems with the residents dc come up. ‘Some guys just depend on be- ing able to party and try to see how much they can get away with,” Jeff said. ““And I'm just someone to project their hostile feelings toward. You have to talk with t hem and make them know they'll finally have to go to the director and then to the Housing Office if they keep it up.”’ There are a couple of things that could be done to make the work of a staff a little easier, Jeff feels. ‘‘The 18-year-old drink- ing law should be passed; it would make the job much easier. Also, the number of hours at the desk that we have to put in should be cut back.” 378 Graduates the switch from a “partying” Swinford Hall toa Williams’ Hall staff, Jeff Wadman finds “organize his time in advance” to get his osha ROBERT L.

Not this male Dr. Kolczynski is a feminist and avid supporter of the Equal Rights Amend- ment (ERA). More intriguing, however, is that Dr. Kolczynski is a man. Originally from Trenton, New Jersey, Dr. Kolczynski earned his degree at the University of Tennessee and Ohio State, and has been at Ball State for four years. A member of the English Department's faculty, Kolczynski seems to delight in provoking debates with his students. A favorite topic is the ERA, especially since, as he puts it, “| have always believed in equality for all.’’ While doing post-doctorial work at Har- vard in the summer of 1976, the professor would pass by a feminist group’s booth every day. “They were always asking for dona- tions and | would throw in a quarter as | passed by,”’ he said. ‘’Pretty soon | decid- ed that since | was giving them all this money, | ought to at least read the literature.”’ As his interest grew, Kolczynski attend- ed ERA rallies in Boston and began reading more information on the amend- ment. “| think the ERA will not only produce positive effects in dealing with women’s rights, but also as far as sexual preference is concerned. | always thought that Har- vard adjusted really well to the movement for equality. All the bathrooms there are labeled ‘persons’.”” MARGIE H. HARRELSON Troy, Ohio, Criminal Justice ROBERT L. HARRIS New Haven, Elementary Ed. SANDRA K. HARRIS South Bend, English SUSAN L.

As residence hall directors, they all lead unique lifestyles—Ruth as director of coed Hurlbut, Virgie as director of all-women Trane, and Bob and Sandy residing in Howick. “My main function is to promote education,” said Virgie, ‘‘not so much on the academic level, but on the personal level. ’ Bob sees his job as “an advisor to for- malize groups in the hall and as a kind of reference area.’’ He feels that he’s dif- ferent from a professor because the students can depend on him to be right in their home, ready to talk if they want to. “Sure there’s problems living here and being married,’’ Bob said. ‘But | don’t think they are all related to the job. | think there could be more job-related problems if my wife wasn’t so understanding.” Many directors feel that a lack of privacy often presents problems, especially for married directors. “There's not very much privacy com- pared to other jobs,’’ Bob explained, ‘’but the guys respect the fact that Sandy and | need some time to ourselves. The people in the hall are perceptive and understan- ding.” Although she has to leave the room several times because of problems that arise with hall residents, Sandy Weith doesn’t consider privacy to be a major problem. “It's not a bad arrangement,” said San- dy. “I also have a job as an English teacher —there really wouldn't be enough here to be a housewife.” Virgie feels that there is very little privacy. “You never know when the phone will ring or when there will be a knock at the door,” she said. “‘It’s like be- ing on call 24 hours a day. You can’t get away. At times, it almost feels like the walls are closing in.”’ “A lot of people don’t realize that | have to be responsible for 150 people,” Virgie continued. ‘’l can’t even spend a half an hour with every person once a week.” The Trane director also feels that there are advantages to such a ‘‘diversified’’ job. “Being a director is good experience for a possible future job as a counseling psychologist,”’ she pointed out. ‘‘Here I’m an administrator, teacher, and program- mer.’ JEANNE M.

Along with other employees, she spent a few nights in the halls because of adverse weather conditions. Cooks ‘taste’ hall living Stella Jenkins and Frances Garling, both cooks in the dining service, got a real “taste’’ of on-campus living the week of January 16. Both spent three nights in the residence halls because of road condi- tions resulting from several snow storms. “Sunday night | slept in one of the girls’ rooms in Rogers Hall,’’ said Mrs. Jenkins. “On Monday and Tuesday, the girls fixed up a room in the housekeeper’s lounge for my husband and |. It was fun and dif- ferent to stay in the dorm.” Many dining service employees feel that the Muncie community didn’t realize that the staff was stranded at Ball State “| think the girls really enjoyed it,’’ con- tinued the cook. ‘‘We weren't prepared to stay the night, but the girls were willing to share everything with us. They brought us a portable television and a stack of magazines.

They are very conscious of their respon- sibility to the students.” A staff member for 14 years, Garling feels that the students and staff alike gained from the experience of a new roommate for the evening. “It seems to have made both parties a little more aware of each other,’’ she ex- plained. | JANICE S.

Because their home is located at 1109 N. McKinley Avenue, the Bumbs have a spacious view of the campus from the convenience of their living room window.

Heavy traffic and a lack of parking spaces have been the only location problems. Front-seat focus family has never been bothered by its on- campus location. The only problem that the Bumbs, as well as three neighboring families have encountered, is the lack of public parking space and the heavy traffic during academic hours. When the residents built their homes 25 years ago, the Practical Arts building was the nearest campus building to their pro- perty. Consequently, the Bumbs have seen the college grow in both facilities and enrollment. “Enrollment was between four and five thousand when we moved here,’ Dr. Bumb said.

Many of these students feel that because of Charlie Payne, individual backgrounds have been broadened, ethnic differences have been shared, and the word ‘‘education’”’ has taken on a totally new meaning. To the students involved in the Multi-Cultural program, Dr. Charlie Payne has become a lasting influence on _ their teaching careers. Now in its fourth year, Ball State’s Multi-Cultural program has gained na- tional recognition — winning several na- tional awards. It now serves as a model to universities across the nation. “At first | had mixed emotions about forming such a program,” said Dr. Payne. “It meant giving up a career, but after many hours of reading, writing, and researching, | became convinced of the need for this kind of program.” In 1972, Dr. Payne accepted the challange of star- To the director of the Multi-Cultural Program, Dr. Charlie Payne, education involves “real-world ex- periences’’ more than books and lectures. Payne is influential in setting up cultural curriculums in other universities throughout the Midwest. ting this program at Ball State. According to Dr. Payne, the purpose of the progam is to make teachers aware and sensitive enough to recognize the cultural differences of their students. He stressed the fact that ‘‘we do not overem- phasize the differences; we make everyone aware that they exist.”’ Over 80 per cent of the students involv- ed in the program have gone through some kind of cultural change themselves, according to Payne. The program pro- vides for field experiences, special student teaching situations, and follow- up contact system once the student has graduated. “| would like to make the graduate part of the program more solid,’’ Payne said. “Having students who have already graduated through the program, working with the undergraduates would strengthen the program.”’ Payne also recognizes a need for mak- ing a clear distinction between ethnic and cultural studies. ‘‘Many people are afraid of the teaching of diversity instead of uniformity,’’ he pointed out. ‘Actually, all teaching should be a cross-cultural ex- perience.’ PAMELA L.

Yet, little is heard about the other 21 Miss In- diana contestants, several of whom at- tend Ball State during the year of their area reigns. One such contestant, Michelle Whiteman, experienced a true taste of the “behind the glamour scenes” as she par- ticipated in the contest held in Michigan City last June. “It was very exciting—very nerve rack- ing,’ Michelle said. Representing Mid- Eastern Indiana, Michelle received a $500 scholarship and felt that the pageant could help out in her area of interest— politics. The contestants rose every morning at 6 a.m. for breakfast and a morning prac- tice. Their day continued with afternoon practices, dinner at several Michigan City restaurants, and evening practices which Country queen were followed by late-night appearances at snackbars. “All of our meals were with Michigan City merchants who sponsored the din- ners,’’ Michelle said. Although the girls were often exhausted after eight hours of practice, they were expected to sparkle and carry on light conversations with the dinner sponsors. During the meals and at all times off stage, the contestants were strictly chaperoned. Michelle recalled seeing her boyfriend in a restaurant the girls had just eaten in. Upon saying hello to h im, she was reminded that contestants were not allowed to mingle with the general public. “We were allowed to see our parents for 10 minutes each night backstage after practice,’’ Michelle said. Michelle felt the contest was interesting because the contestants all came from different backgrounds and had different goals. She said there were a few girls who acted as if their entire goal in life was to be recognized as the most beautiful girl in the nation, but that most held the contest in a proper perspective. An avid interest in politics, a musical interpretation of Carl Sandburg poetry, and a sparkling personality describes Michelle Whiteman as the small-town girl “making it big.’” As Miss Mid-Eastern Indiana, Michelle competed in the Miss Indiana contest. After several days of rehearsal, and a seven-minute interview with the five judges, the participants filed on stage Thursday and Friday for the talent and swimsuit competitions. Saturday, under the bright flood lights accompanying live television coverage, the evening gown and on-stage-personality competitions were held. “It was kind of like performing,” Michelle explained, ‘‘except that instead of portraying another character, you opened yourself up to the judges and au- dience.”’ “The Michigan City people were fabulous,’’ Michelle continued. When the contest was completed, an open dinner and dance was held for the contestants and their friends and families. Michelle Whiteman, 1976 Miss Mid- Eastern Indiana, looks back on the pageants as a great experience. Unlike other contestants, she does not plan to compete again. “1 took it for what it was,” she said. HARRIET A. O'CONNOR Anderson, Accounting MARY ELIZABETH O’DONNEL Whiting, Elementary Ed. JOHN Z.

Camera-ready camerman “No matter where television takes me, I'll be happy,’’ said Ken Klawitter, cameraman for WIPB Channel 49 televi- sion. From hopes of becoming an ar- chitect, to broadcasting a progressive radio program, Ken developed a “’feel’ for the communications field after working as a disc jockey for WAGO in Wagoner com- plex. Changing his major to radio and televi- sion, Ken accepted a job as cameraman | irre for WIPB-TV. “It’s a good place for ex- perience,’’ the young cameraman said. ‘It will really look good on my resume.” Ken’s move up the WIPB ladder was a quick one. Two weeks of training on the studio camera preceded Ken’s creative work on the special holiday programs for the Muncie Mall Halloween feature and the Civic Center Christmas special. Ken's real love involves working the cameras for the Ball State basketball telecasts.As two other cameramen shoot the actual basketball action, Ken captures the emotions of the crowd, players, and he is in charge of ‘‘reaction’’ rather than action. Ken, who hopes to produce programs for network television someday, stressed the importance of complete cooperation among television crewmen. He felt that part of his quick advancement was at- tributed to his attitude about money. “It is of seco ndary importance to me, said Ken, adding that the most important thing in life for him is a job that he likes and finds challenging. “If | have what it takes and love it so well, | guess I’ve found my place,”’ the cameraman concluded. Changing his major from architecture to radio and television, Ken Klawitter made a steady climb up the WIPB Channel 49 ladder. Two weeks of training and experience on holiday programs led to a managing position for Ken. SABRINA POPE Gary, Radio and TV SUSAN K. POPPLEWELL Muncie, Accounting PATRICK K.

Twisting a few more knobs, he says in- to the mike, ‘“‘He-ey we’re gonna play some Aerosmith for you right now.

RIGGS South Bend, Marketing 398 - Graduates Dealing with the dark is typical of thousands of DJ's across the country. But then Bernie is not so typical either. Bernie does his job in the dark. Bernie’s blindness prevents him from actually seeing the WLAF studios in N-13 of LaFollette, but he knows the room as well as anyone. “| think | know what it’s like to see,’’ he says. ‘Between my ears, hands, and head, | don’t miss much.” Because his hearing is so finely tuned, Bernie can identify a song by hearing just one or two notes—cueing a record faster than anyone at the WLAF studios. And if a record is misplaced (they are usually kept in order), he often finds it merely by feeling the texture of the label. “Blindness is a handicap, but you don’t have to let it get you down,” Bernie said. “You just do the best you can.”” And he does. His shows i nvariably go off without a flaw. “The hardest part will be getting a pro- spective employer to sit down and listen to me,’’ he explained. ‘You're asking him to put up with certain inconveniences in the studio.’ In anticipation of problems like this, Bernie has worked on developing his skill at putting together a good radio show. “| format my shows,” he said. ‘‘l have to be a little bit better than anyone else if | want a job in the industry.” Feeling for another disc, Bernie twisted a few more knobs. “’I just do my best and hope my ears don’t fall off.’ WLAF disc jockey, Bernie Eagen, hears the music he cues without actually seeing the record — or the Station, or the dials and switches. Cueing records faster than anyone else at the station, Bernie doesn’t consider his blindness a handicap. KAREN E. RIGGS New Castle, Special Ed. TERESA J. RIGGS Middletown, Math: ROZELYN S.

Ate Graduates Except for a Russian or two upset over the Japanese coup at the 1976 Olympic games who might choose to argue the point, the general consensus among gym- nastics buffs is that Japan has the most competitive men’s gymnastics around. Olympic gold medal after Olympic gold medal attests to the fact that Japan’s best gymnasts are more often than not the best in the world. It follows that a guy who can compete with Japan’s best can compete with just about anyone. For ten years, on little more than guts and a determination ‘‘to be just like them,’’ Hiroshi (Hiro) Kinoshita tried to become one of Japan’s best gymnasts. For many of those years he was not even considered good enough to participate in meets. By 1972, his senior year at Tokyo Teacher's College, he was good enough to compete regularly on a team that was ranked eighth in Japan. He was good, even by Japanese standards, but he fell short of Olympic caliber. He never got to be “just like them.” In the summer of 1975, Ball State gym- nastics coach Paul Mayer visited Japan. There he met a 25-year-old physical education instructor who had written him about a job. The following fall, Hiroshi Kinoshita, ex-aspiring Olympic gymnast, began a two-year stint as assistant coach of the Cardinal gymnastics team. At first, Hiro suffered from cultural shock. He credits Coach Mayer with help- ing him over that, although he still muses over the sexual freedoms permitted here, and he says that he ‘‘found the women’s liberation movement surprising’”’ in such a way that one cannot help but think that he finds it no less surprising today. The most drastic adjustment Hiro had to make, however, was in his approach to gymnastics itself. Gymnastics is to Japan what football and basketball are to the United States. Sawao Kato, perennial Olympic gold medalist, is a Japanese hero on the scale of a baseball’s Hank Aaron. For every American paperback on the mechanics of throwing a curve ball, there is a Japanese counterpart on the techni- que of a full-twisting back salto. Despite the fact that the U.S. took up the originally-German sport long before she exported it to Japan, gymnastics never really made much of a splash on the American sports scene. Hiro compares American gymnastics to a new sport struggling to make a name for itself. Thanks to recent media coverage of the Olympic Games and an influx of talented coaches and instructors — many of whom, like Hiro, are Japanese— American interest in gymnastics is on the rise. “American specialists are very good,” says Hiro. ‘But, overall, men’s gym- nastics in this country is still quite backwards.” In taking up the challenge of American gymnastics, Hiro had to foresake much of the glory that goes hand-in-hand with gymnastics in Japan. But he also acknowledges that he stepped into a situ- tion that was far less pressurized. “| learned by the torture-type ap- proach,” he says, and, while he sometimes finds it difficult to adjust to the less frenetic American approach, one doesn’t get the impression that he minds it very much. There’s another thing that Hiro doesn’t seem to mind, and that is being one of the best gymnasts around. SHARON K. SCHORTINGHUIS Indianapolis, Secretarial CHARLENE M. SCHUBERT Richmond, Art Ed.

SNOBARGER Goshen, GBA Solar mower— an inGENIUS idea It only took freshman Brian Swales eight and a half hours to design a solar-power lawn mower that could make him ‘‘five million dollars plus royalties!”’ Brian designed his invention the spring of 1976. 402 Graduates Brian Swales is not your average col- lege sophomore. In fact, one might hear his name easily associated with Thomas Edison, Ben Franklin, or Henry Ford. Just as light bulbs, electricity, and automobiles are related to the names of these famous historical figures, the solar-powered lawn mower might well be connected to the name of Brian Swales. A sophomore from Bright, Indiana, Brian developed a lawn mower that operates on the energy of the sun. The idea for this newfangled invention came to the student one evening in the spring of 1976. “| was riding around with a friend when | saw this old guy pushing one of those old lawn mowers — the kind without a motor,’’ Brian explained. ‘’| thought to myself that there’s got to be an easier way.” “All of a sudden, the thought of a solar- powered mower came to my mind. It seemed so practical. It took me eight and a half hours to draw up the whole thing. All | used was a ruler, protractor, and compass.” Brian’s mower features a collapsible blade which prevents the blade from chip- ping or breaking when it comes in contact with a foreign object. It has an automatic trimmer and a handle that adjusts to the user's height. A dome preventing dust or dirt from getting into the parts and a carrier-pouch to lift objects found on the lawn, such as kleenex or bottlecaps, is also included. Brian designed the mower with a safety bar running under the handle. When the user lets go of the handle, the mower switches off automatically. It makes a humming sound similar to a rotary motor, and is the same size as a gas or electric powered mower. The young inventor says that one of his models will definitely be cheaper than the present mowers. Since the solar mower does not require gasoline, the operator will save on the ever-rising costs of gasoline and oil. Brian's first step toward the develop- ment of his model was to hire an Organization to run a patent search. He says that he might settle for 5.6 million dollars plus royalties for the plans to develop the mower through a company. At the time of this publication, Brian MARTY A.

The student- inventor estimated that if he sold his in- vention outrightly, royalties and all, the price would be 75 million dollars! “Some people think the idea is great,”’ Brian commented. ‘‘Some people don’t care about the idea—only the money. You can really pick out your friends. Some people think it’s like a new world record, like at the Olympics. Sometimes | wish | had never even thought of it because of some of the trouble I’ve had.”’ Brian would enjoy a career of research in the field of solar energy. ‘| would like to experiment with solar energy. | always told my teachers | would be in the papers someday! ” Graduates 403 Pen outstrokes the brush A transfer student from Butler University, journalist Kate Duffy writes poetry and short stories as well as the Daily News column “Eve's Rib.”’ Influenced by her father, Kate hopes to write a novel.

SUKOW Fort Wayne, Dietetics 04, Graduates Kat e Duffy wasn’t sure whether she wanted to concentrate on writing or art when she decided to come to college. However, the pen outstroked the brush as Kate majored in journalism education and minored in radio and television. A transfer student from Butler Universi- ty, Kate said her love for writing began at the time she learned to read and write. “My father was always an influence on my writing,’’ Kate said. ‘‘He taught me at a very young age to be observant.’’ When Kate was a young child, Mr. Duffy, an English teacher, gave her a pad of paper and pencil whenever they went somewhere. He had Kate pretending she was a reporter covering a story. As a gift to her father, the young jour- nalist compiled a series of poems to be published in Ball State’s ION. She presented the poems to him on his fiftieth birthday, just a few weeks before he died of cancer. “His death gave me a new insight into human suffering—pain and disease,” Kate said. “! write about these things, lose them, and find them later.’’ Aside from writing poetry, Kate worked on the Daily News as a staff reporter, chief reporter, columnist (Eve’s Rib), and at the copy desk. “It gave me an opportunity to know what was happening all over the cam- pus,”’ Kate said. Kate’s teaching ambitions concern the college level, although she doesn’t want to teach all of her life. She hopes to work in some form of newswriting or radio and television, and feels that her mother is her staunchest supporter. “She is my best friend,’”” Kate said. “We've always been close and she’s always supported my goals.”’ With the backing of her mother, her journalism background, and her outlook on life, Kate plans to continue writing poems, short stories, and possibly a novel. “When something moves me, writing is an emotional outlet,’’ she said.

Yes, Miki Mathiodakis seems to be able to take the I-can-and-l-will attitude and get away with it! Her love of the theatre has seen her through many a play and many a character—of which she “generally gets to portray the sleezy, pro- stitute types!’’ After quitting school a couple of years ago, Miki’s “‘brazenness”’ as she calls it, got her an “‘in’’ with the Black Curtain Dinner Theatre of Indianapolis. She had parts in a variety of the Theatre’s shows and enjoyed working among the semi- professional actors and actresses. “The atmosphere is so different when compared to working in educational theatre like at Ball State,’’ she explained.” 'Why, you could even drink through the” rehearsals there!”’ Randy, er rather, William Randolph Galvin, the owner of the dinner theatre, wrote a play about Miki which he called “Heavenly Body,”’ precasting it to include her as the lead. But come fall, Miki had returned to Ball State’s theatre depart- ment, chosen for the lead in Lysistrata. After some fast talking, Randy persuaded Miki to come back to Indy on the weekends of the show. She concluded her career at the Black Curtain with her outstanding debute in ‘Heavenly Body.” Before her return to Ball State, Miki became determined to stay away from the roles of the tramps and prostitutes that she always seemed to be cast into. And that is why, ‘| wanted the lead in Lysistrata. You see, she was a strong per- son, whereas the other women had more sexual roles.”’ Though Miki’s contact with theatre has been primarily in drama, she feels her strength and love lies in comedy. “Anyone can make an audience cry, but you have to be really good to make one laugh. And to be good you can’t be afraid of making an ass out of yourself or look- ing ridiculous!’ As for the future of Miki Mathiodakis, “Someday I’m going to really make it. But I’m not going to go out and break my neck trying. They’re going to find me!” And undoubtedly they will! ¢ Actress Miki Mathiodakis credits her ‘“‘brazenness’’ for getting her a start at the Black Curtain Dinner Theatre of Indianapolis. Her positive attitude also landed her the lead in ‘Lysistrata’ (along with an ex- treme amount of acting talent, of course!) RHONDA G. WALKER Columbus, Journalism WILLIAM E.

Raper Debbie Bernhardt, 19, spent 14 months overseas in Tokyo, Japan, teaching, liv- ing and growing as a person. Moving to the second largest city in the world was quite a shock for this Indiana farm girl from Culver, not to mention the frustra- tions of coping with a strange language, different culture, and total independence. Debbie left the United States in August of 1975 as a participant in the Interntional Christian Youth Exchange (ICYE). This program is oriented toward social work and politics rather than _ strictly academics. Debbie not only learned about the Japanese culture—their lifestyle, political and social structures—but about herself as well. When she returned to the U.S. she said, ‘| can see the United States with different eyes.”’ “| gained self-confidence in having to cope with the language,’’ she said. When Debbie stepped from the plane at Tokyo International Airport, her Japanese vocabulary consisted of one syllable— “GULP!” It was frustrating, but exciting. For the first part of her stay, Debbie lived with a Japanese family where she mastered the language barrier. Tutoring English at a subsidiary company of Dat- sun, NISSAN, and attending Ohbirin Col- lege, Debbie was ‘‘too busy to be homesick.” “In Japan the family structure reflects the structure of the country,” said Deb- bie. ‘‘Americans have a taunting attitude toward the family and the law—they don't take them seriously. In Japan the family is revered, the law respected.” Debbie noticed that there is not as much ‘‘glad handing” in Japan as there is in America. She said Japanese are always polite and have many acquaintances, but once a genuine friendship is established, very strong bonds are formed. She stated that ‘Japan is not overly critical of the United States.”’ The student traveller criticized Americans for their lack of interest and fluency of foreign languages. She feels it is rude for Americans to visit a country speaking only English and expecting to be understood, or to understand the culture and people of that country. Miss Bernhardt is excited about the “Exotic Languages’’ that Ball State’s Foreign Language Department now of- fers, teaching Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Arabic, and Hebrew. She hopes to return to Japan and continue teaching. In the meantime, as she pursues her studies at Ball State, she advises anyone who has the opportunity to travel abroad to‘’GRABIT!” Moving from an Indiana farming community to Japan for 14 months was a culture shock for Debbie Bernhardt. After teaching there through Interna- tional Christian Youth Exchange (ICYE), Debbie “sees the United States with different eyes.”’ se JILL D. WHITAKER Gosport, Business Ed. ANN M.

NANCY WRATTEN Indianapolis, Nursing 410 a Graduates So long, stereotype One who thinks of Ball State police of- ficers as the big, burly, masculine type, might as well forget this image right now. With the addition of the first female cam- pus police officer, stereotypes of this nature are quickly disappearing. Jane Eckelman, who joined the force in December, fits none of the stereotyped charactersitics of a ‘campus cop.” A tall, willowy blond, Jane entered the department on a probationary term. She does possess, however the “’full authority given by the state of Indiana to police of- ficers,’’ said Tom Osborn, director of traf- fic, safety, and security. A criminal justice and sociology major, Jane credits Sociology 242 and a required “tide along” project with the Indianapolis police department for directing her thoughts toward police work. She began her career as a Muncie reserve police of- ficer. The reserves are a group of volunteers who put in at least eight hours of work a month as an officer. Through the pro- gram Jane was given a variety of assignments, including one with the nar- cotics division. “We work for the regulars when they are sick or out of town,” said Jane. Jane doesn't feel that being a woman is a disadvantage in an arrest situation. “Even if it’s a man twice my size,’’ she said, ‘‘he’s usually so surprised to learn SHARON M. ZORETICH Indianapolis, English that I'm a police officer, that | have him cuffed and in the car before he realizes en For the most part, Jane’s duties on the force include taking care of health calls, fire alarms, and trouble alarms. According to Jane, the predominately male police force has accepted her on an equal basis. “They are quite helpful in answering any of my questions and treat me as they would any officer,”’ she said. “There seems to be an increasing number of women who are joining police forces,’’ Jane contined. ‘‘As for recom- mending police work for other women, each person has to decide what is right for him. All | know is that | enjoy it.” JANET L. WRIGHT Indianapolis, Elementary Ed. JENNIFER G. WRIGHT Muncie, Biology JOELLEN WRIGHT Muncie, Social Studies LINDA S. WRIGHT Cincinnati, Ohio, Chemical Tech.

BIEL Whiting Taking a:risk is one thing, but hanging from a burning rope while locked in a straightjacket is another. Yet for senior Joe Kepple, amazing audiences with death-defying stunts is a way Of life. The 23-year-old magician and escape artist has freed himself from everything from a Houdini water cell to handcuffs. And he’s performed the mystical feats in such locales as the Sands Hotel in Las Vegas (as a backup act to Bob Newhart) and small nightclubs throughout the Mideastern United States. Involved with magic for seven years, Joe started his career doing tricks for children at birthday parties around his hometown of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. After becoming more adept at perform- Undergraduates ing, he joined the _ International Brotherhood of Magicians, an exclusive society now in its fifty-eight year (‘‘We were IBM before IBM was IBM,” Kepple quipped). In the brotherhood, Joe met veteran magician Murray Bonfeld, who is con- sidered to be the best sleight-of-hand ar- tist in Pennsylvania. Bonfeld taught and perfected Joe with the tricks of the playing-card trade, and Joe now says with a smile that he is, ‘‘the second best sleight-of-hand artist in Pennsylvania.” The February graduate of Ball State earned associate degrees in business and architecture at Northhampton County Area Community College in Oklahoma before getting his bachelor of arts here in ‘izes S | Undergrads journalism. His wide educational background was planned to aid his work in magic. “| have a lot of problems with taxes, since | work for myself and not an employer, and studying business helped me,’’ Joe pointed out. ‘With architecture | learned to design and construct my own illusions, and the journalism degree in public relations showed me how to pro- mote my act by designing brochures, posters etc.”’ Although he’s appeared in Las Vegas, Joe claims his proudest experience was giving lectures on gambling to servicemen at Sack headquarters in Nebraska. “The military asked me to come because the guys were going off base on weekends and losing their paychecks to card sharks,’’ Joe remarked. ‘| showed them things like how to detect for marked cards and stacked decks.” Joe’s nearest glance with death came while doing the burning rope trick before a crowd at the Pocono 500. Hanging upside-down from a Goodyear blimp in a straightjacket, he had three seconds to get loose and grab another rope before fire seared through and dropped him to the ground. “It was a lot closer than | thought it was,’ the magician recalled with a shud- der. ‘| managed to make it in time, but | did pull some muscles in my back.” Needless to say, Joe said he does not have enough nerve to risk trying that par- ticular escape act again.

Conscientious coordinator “Don't forget to tell them that I’m highly intelligent and extremely good- looking,’’ said Ric Edwards, president of Disabled Students in Action (DSIA). Underneath his pretend English accent and radio voice, there is a very serious person. Ric, a junior from Spencer, coor- dinates all DSIA activities with Rich Har- ris, director of Handicap Services. Other DSIA officers include: Kevin Breslin, vice president; Suzie Kuper, secretary; and Dick Harvey, treasurer. As far as facilities for the handicapped go, Ric reports that Ball State is number one in the state. ‘Ball State is the only state campus that can handle essentially any kind of handicap,’’ he says. DSIA is responsible for many of the ramps, lifts, and braille elevator buttons across campus. The organization has been working toward its goals for about six years and Ric believes “‘in just about every way, DSIA has grown in size, stature, importance, and influence.” Ric is a radio and television major, and as a Christian, hopes to work at a Chris- tian station. He is a stereo freak and has a Christian rock show on Sunday after- noons at WSAS, located in Studebaker Complex. Loggins and Messina, the Se- cond Chapter of Acts, Larry Norman, and Gina Vanelli are among his favorite artists. Ric sees Awareness Week as an impor- tant function of broadening the scope of the DSIA. “Everyone needs to become more aware of the handicapped.” “The general effectiveness of the DSIA has been tremendous,’’ stated Ric. “Things done for the handicapped are done for everyone, because no one knows when they may become handicap- ped.” Loggins and Messina are playing quiet- ly in the background and Rick thoughtful- ly added, “Il don’t mean to sound egotistical, but we are an asset — if for nothing else simply than for the inspira- tion we are.” 44 AMY J.

Luckily, however, when those unbearable waves of homesickness just won't seem to go away, there’s comfort in knowing that the telephone is just a few feet (and only a couple of dollars) away. One quick call, the sound of Mom’s voice, and suddenly all is well. All is well, that is, unless your home happens to be thousands of miles away, and your only realistic contact is a worn photograph or crumpled letter.

He arrived in the United States on November 22, 1976. “| have to wear heavier clothes than what | normally wear,’ David said. “‘l do not like this cold weather, so | try to keep indoors.” The international student added he ‘preferred 90 degree weather,’’ and that his native country only has two seasons — hot dry summers, and warm rainy winters. Adapting to the food served by the din- ing service also presented problems. ‘‘I’m used to fresh food,’’ the newcomer said. “We live on a farm and my family grows its own food. The method of cooking is also different.’’ David went on to say that he eats his food separately instead of mix- ing things like beef and noodles. David speaks Kikuyu (his ‘’mother tongue’’) and Swahili (spoken by east- central Africans) as well as English. ‘The Americans have an accent that | have trouble with,”’ he said. ‘My main problem is with all the slang.”’ “The most important thing to me since | have been here is making a lot of friends,” concluded David. ‘’At first | didn’t know anyone; | don’t feel so much a stranger now.” WADE W.

A local celebrity of sorts, Iliff developed a column idea while working as Sunday Editor for the ‘‘Muncie Star.’’ Using her everyday family problems and incidents, spiced with a little exaggeration, her feature is a regular in the Thursday cota. “| write about anything from the aspect of the born loser,’’ she said. “If something can go wrong, it will.”’ Night manager of the ‘’Star,’’ her hus- band, David, also teaches for the jour- Class(y) comedienne nalism department. Working together does not seem to be a real problem for the couple since they have been doing it since 1971 when they both worked for the eS td fae Mrs. Iliff says sometimes their coming and going can get hectic. ‘David works at the paper from 5 p.m. to 2 a.m. so | usual- ly try to get home before he leaves. | get to eat lunch with him, but it is hard to wake up long enough to have a conversa- tion with him at two in the morning.” The husband and wife team handle their living situation well enough to raise a child — the major source used in writing Mrs. Iliff’s column. Refraining from writing about her husband, she tries to “spare him ribbing that he might get from people at the office.” The feature writer’s warm insight and natural sense of wit spills over into her classes, making her a lively and _in- teresting professor. Who other than Ruth lliff is described by Journalism 100 students as the natural ‘’Carol Burnett counterpart?! Working as a husband wife team, Ruth and David lliff both teach journalism as well as write for the “Muncie Star.’’ Although their comings and goings can get hectic, the two really don’t seem to mind since their paths cross at work and at home. 418 Undergrads CHERYL L.

Besides appearing on stage Ann has made two television commercials, one for Indiana Bell Telephone and the other for Drexal Carpets. Locally, she played Faye Templeton in Ball State’s production of “George M.” and held the leading role in “Carmen” and ‘‘Kismet.”’ “Opera is a real challenge,’’ Ann said, “because you have to rely on dialogue to get the whole plot across. In musicals, you just take a break to sing. It takes a lot of work and time to memorize all the music in an opera.”’ Recently, Miss Miller has been frustrated over her name. ‘‘I’m really upset about it,’’ she said. ‘Since Actor's Equity, the actor’s union, already has one famous Ann Miller, | changed my name to ‘Angela Miller.’ But now there seems to already be an Angela, so I’m hanging in limbo with the name ‘Andrea Miller.’ ’’ ater.

The junior decided to take the job anyway. Mostly ‘maybe’s’ “I'd do it again, but | probably won't, | might...” The alarm clock rings and head football manager Bob Himmel pulls himself out of bed to start another day... Bob walks out into the brisk morning air trying to arrange the upcoming day in his mind. With midterms coming, he really has to budget his time to get the studying in. The homecoming game will mean ex- tra practices and workouts not only for the team, but for the managers as well. He cringes as he looks up at the sky and sees threatening black clouds which will reign over the practice later that after- noon. Following his academic workout for the day, the manager heads toward the foot- ball field.to prepare for the team’s prac- tice. Along with Bob Hunt, Derry Owens, Kim Molchin, Debbie Mut, Keith Petrie, and John Darnstaedt, he sets up necessary equipment while handling schedules and setting formations. The wind is really cold and strong! Bob stops a minute; starts a conversation in his head. “Bob, this is your conscience speaking! What are you doing out here? Trying to catch penumonia?”’ “I’m setting up for practice.” “Those boys don’t appreciate it.”’ “That’s...uh...that’s true—”’ “Why should you begin in mid-March to prepare for the team’s spring practice? Why do you come two weeks before school even starts? Why do you let those players talk to you like that sometimes? Of all the jobs on campus, why did you pick one with such lousy working conditions and no pay? Of all the dumb people!”’ Bob suddenly stops and thinks. Why was he out here in the cold? The disad- vantages of this job, as his conscience so politely pointed out, numbered much more than the advantages. He enjoyed doing it. He thought about all the times he had felt so proud and real- ly part of the team. During the Miami game he felt that his job as a manager was as important as the kicker’s or the quarterback’s. The people he met were innumerable. While out on the field dur- ing the game, he sensed an added respect coming from his friends. “I've learned to appreciate the little pid- dley jobs in the world—the ones everybody takes for granted unless they aren't done. | know what they must feel like day after day, doing a job that’s not appreciated.”’ The dedicated manager looks across the field and seesthe two girls working. They really pull their weight as managers and the players don’t harass them. The only problem is not being able to go into the locker room for supplies during prac- tices and games. Finally, the coach ends practice, the team heads for the showers, and managers’ cleanup work begins. Walking back to the dorm, the coldness of the night makes Bob think of the times he had missed supper because of a held- over practice. A night of homework waits for him in his room. As he opens the door, his aching body longs for his comfortable bed. He sinks into his chair and his mind wanders. “My homework—will | ever get caught up? My roommate—will | ever get a chance to talk to him? Dates, girls, parties—will | ever have a social life? I’ve got to get up and get this homework done.” Trudging over to the desk, Bob turns on the light and prepares for tomorrow's classes. He daydreams about the away game on Saturday against Illinois State. It will require loading the equipment truck with the team’s supplies, leaving about 7 a.m., and returning about eight or nine that evening (and to think that none of the managers had any desire to even coach in the future!) The manager decides that looking at his books is doing no good and goes to bed. As he lies there, he thinks about next year. “Will | be a manager next year?” he NANCY E. MORRISSEY Decatur GRETCHEN B.

As a result, the position of night hostess was eliminated, causing 20 women to lose their jobs. Affectionately nicknamed ‘‘Holmsie”’ by the Botsford-Swinford residents, Han- nah Holmes was given a new job at the Bracken Library check-out station. Her new responsibilities include inspecting briefcases, booksacks, and duffle bags. Although she doesn't get the chance to actually talk to many of the students pass- ing through, Holmsie recognizes familiar hall faces, and is brought up to date on hall activities. “It takes some time, so a long line even- tually forms.’’ Laughing, she noted that some people try to sneak out material to see if the alarm really works, but on the whole “most people are cooperative.” “Sometimes it’s a little bothersome to check through everything,” she stated. The former night hostess felt that re- adjusting to new working hours was a problem at first, especially after working from 11 p.m. to a.m. for a number of years. The librarian had worked in every complex at one time or another. Holmsie pointed out that Ball State had offered the night hostesses positions as security personnel within the complexes, but virtually no interest was shown. The job would have involved checking lounges and recreation areas, bicycle closets, and vending areas. Within the halls, coeds had mixed emo- tions about the new situations. ‘‘In some ways | like having a key, and in other ways | don't,” said Botsford resident Carol Stoeckinger. ‘I felt safer knowing that Holmsie was there, not letting just anyone wander in. She was so nice to talk to — we miss her.” 4 Silver keys given to coeds living in residence halls took away the jobs of Hannah Holmes and 19 other night hostesses. Greatly missed by Bostsford residents, Hannah now works at Bracken Library. JEFFRY L. QUADE Monon DAN RABLE Bedford Heights, Ohio CHARLES RACKER Webster LEONA RAINES New Castle LINDA J.

From behind delicately draped curtains, soft footsteps and melodic hum- ming can be heard. Graceful dancers in flowing costumes appeat on stage one by one. Through flexing muscles, intense facial expressions, and supple movements, they feel; they interpret; and they bring to life international artistry. Warming the stage with emotional im- pact, the Ball State Banevolks provide a personal, yet professional, touch to the art of folk dance. Under director Ya’akov Eden, Banevolks are comprised of 19 dancers— 10 women and 9 men. The group usually rehearses three times a week for a total of seven hours. Throughout the year, the group has performed in Merrillville, Valparaiso, and Toledo, as well as throughout the Muncie area. They also attend workshops involving folk dance and are affiliated with the Indiana Art Commission which gives grants to local communities for cultural enrichment. A Russian-born Jew, director Ya’akov Eden served with the Israel army and danced in Israel’s national dance troupe as well as dancing professionally in New York. As assistant director, student Roger Spahr “is the go-between for the dancers and Mr. Eden.”’ “Often Mr. Eden is unable to take care of administrative duties and dancers dur- ing a show,” he explained. ‘So he takes care of the technical aspects and | handle the dancers.”’ “This is undoubtably one of the best groups I’ve worked with,’’ Roger con- tinued. ‘‘They are 110 per cent personable on stage and 150 per cent off. Techni- cians Ken Montgomery and Daphine Hoppes are worth their weight in gold.”’ A Banevolk veteran for three years, Roger felt that this year was a different one for him since he was one of the older members. He said that about three- fourths of the troupe was either new this year or had only been with the group for one quarter. “It takes about two to four years to ac- tually develop a dancer, and then they graduate,’’ he pointed out. ‘Not only knowing the steps, but perfecting the styling is very important when dealing with so many nationalities.”’ Roger went on to say that the Banevolks are generally considered as one of the top three or four non- professional groups in the United States for such varied international dances. In order to become a member of the troupe, the students completed the first folk dance course and went through a tryout. No preference was given to dance majors or minors, according to Roger; in fact, 98 per cent of the dancers are not dance or physical education majors, but are involved in business, pre-law, pre- med, nursing, home economics, and marketing. “We look for performers through the tryouts,’’ Rogers stressed. ‘‘Some can often teach movement, but not the per- forming. It’s also important to pick up steps quickly.” “Dance is really a good way to forget school, enjoy life, and concentrate on other things,” said Roger. “‘It’s hard work, but the product is worth it.”’ “Let's face it,’’ the dancer concluded, “we all perform. Some play football, some basketball, some are active in politics, and some devote their time to classwo rk. We...dance.” a Entertaining community crowds during ‘Ball State Days” at the Muncie Mall, the Banevolks display in- tricate and colorful costumes — costumes they have made themselves.

Fields impres- sion, and a cast of characters (Fields plus 39) out West (read Hollywood) where he plans to ‘‘make the big time.’’ Sound romantic? Like some lofty dream of a naive college kid? Maybe. Except that the 22-year-old senior from Fouler, Indiana, has talent. His Nelson Rockefeller (a voice he says he perfected in 15 minutes) actually sounds like Nelson Rockefeller. In fact, after listening to his impressions of John Wayne, Jimmy Carter, Walter Brennen, Jimmy Stewart, Edith Bunker, and well, the list goes on and on...it’s not hard to imagine Joe making his debut on ‘‘The Tonight Show” or, doing what he says would be ‘’the ultimate,’’ performing on “Saturday Night Live.” In fact, Joe’s career as an impressionist is already well underway. It began two years ago at a Daytona Beach, Florida, nightclub when some musicians talked him into doing some of his Paul Lynde im- pressions on stage. The audience and management were so impressed that Joe ended up performing for four nights and has been asked back for a regular engage- ment. During his last year at Ball State, Joe had doubled as a waiter and entertainer at TGI Friday, the combination restaurant- bar in Indianapolis. He has also done several local and Chicago-based television advertisements, including one in which he plays the inimitable ‘‘Hard Car-sell,’’ an impression that is fast gaining him impor- tant recognition in the local media. Joe hopes to gain the same kind of recognition on the West coast this sum- mer, where he eventually hopes to land a job dubbing voices for Warner Brothers cartoons. “I've always liked Warner Brothers car- toons,’ he says. ‘‘They do some pretty crazy things. Besides, it would be a good stepping-stone to other levels of the entertainment industry.” To what levels? ‘‘The Tonight Show?” “Saturday Night Live?’ Las Vegas Nightclub performances? Special benefits? Joe smiles and says in a voice that con- veys both confidence and modesty, “‘l’m taking it to the hilt if | can.” For two years, senior Joe Rayle has been doing im- pressions professionally in restaurants and nightclubs. The performer eventually hopes to dub voices for Warner Brothers cartoons and eventually make it to the top in the entertainment industry. PHIL THORNBURG South Bend APRIL L.

WHITFIELD Osceda 430 s- Undergrads Ball State freshman Steve Smith and Purdue freshman Dave Carroll performed to capacity crowds at the Two Bit Rush as Carrollsmith. Growing up together in New Albany, Indiana, the two charmed the crowd with originally composed lyrics and melodies. It only took a few moments for the darkly-lit room to still to a softly descen- ding quiet. Slowly, the steady clinking of spoons against china ceased, as chairs were carefully shuffled in place and voices gently dropped to a murmur. Deliberately, all eyes turned to the two young per- formers in the corner of the room... They formed an interesting compromise—one short, dark, full of life and energy; the other, tall, blond, ex- uding a strong inner-calmness. Offstage, one wrote the words, the other wrote the music. But onstage, it took both to bring the orignal harmonies to life. The 80 or so people crowded into the Two Bit Rush on a snowy January 8 were not likely to forget the warm aliveness of Dave Carroll and Steve Smith together as Carrollsmith. Actually, the weekend hadn't started out too optimistically for Carrollsmith. A few hours before the scheduled performance on Friday night, Steve discovered that partner Dave was snowed in at Purdue University and couldn't possi bly make the performance. Toying with a microphone that just wouldn't seem to work, Steve carried the show alone, a “little disap- pointed at first because we had been planning this for a long time.”’ The following night, not only did Dave make it to the Two-Bit, but Steve’s parents, and a host of former high school buddies as well. The keyed-up crowd _ relaxed not only to the familiar tunes of _ Dan Fogelberg, Harry Chapin, and Cat Stevens, but to the smoothly mellow Originals of Carrollsmith itself. “The coffeehouse crowd is a harder _ crowd to play to,”’ said Dave, slowly sipp- ing a steaming coffee. ‘‘The people are _loud—sometimes they just don’t listen.’’ | A freshman at Purdue University, Dave is majoring in acoustical engineering. “It really helps to know my parents and friends are out there,’’ Steve said, glanc- ing around the audience. ‘‘Some people expect you to be background, like a stereo.’’ A Ball State freshman, Steve plans to “‘realistically make the most out _of his voice” in future years. Growing up together in New Albany, Indiana, the two have performed together since high school, playing at parties, in a _few bars (‘We were supposed to be 21, but... ’), a mini-concert in high school, and a wedding. “We used to pretend and sing to Beatles records,’” laughed Steve, ‘’and suddenly it wasn’t pretend anymore...” Pretend? The two have come a long way since then. During the summer of 1976, the duo entered a radio contest sponsored by station WLRS located in Louisville, Kentucky. Out of 280 entires, Carrollsmith’s ‘’Peter Pan’’ ranked fif- teenth. Unfortunately, only the top 12 were chosen to be recorded on the special local-talent album. “Peter Pan’ is my favorite,’’ Dave pointed out, ‘‘because it describes my w hole outlook on life.’’ As soon as they can raise the money, the two plan to have the song copywrited and start some pro- fessional recording. “It's really hard to find people to put up the money,” Steve said. ‘’They want you to play for free, but you've got to have money in order to make a start. Lots of times, people also expect you to be ‘elec- tric’ so that they can dance.”’ Steve quickly glances down at his watch, realizing the break is over. Throughout the next few hours, the two draw the audience into a world of ‘’Peter Pan’ and “‘Love Isn ’t Real Easy’’— flowing melodies and dreams lyrics. The Two Bit Rush never had it so good...

ZEIGLER Columbus 431 Undergrads When passing ‘the Ball State Ad- ministration building after dark, a light may be seen beaming brightly late into the night, from a first floor window. Chances are, the university president and administration discovered the daylight hours had faded away too early, and that much work is yet to be done. Serving more than 17,000 students and another 2,500 employees, it wasn’t too uncommon to see a bright light burning from the office window of Ball State President John J. Pruis during the ‘76- 77 academic year. Pruis and his staff met weekly to discuss issues affecting the students as well as the Ball State campus as a whole. Their number one priority of the year in campus expansion was the proposed building of a new Business Col- lege. “The commission for higher education is looking at the amount of space and students on campus and we do not rank very high on that,”’ said Pruis, puffing on his pipe. However, he stated he felt op- timistic about the project. As well as building a new College of Business Pruis and the vice presidents worked on improving their own positions. “We are in the early stages of rather specific actions to construct and improve administrative practice; not to suggest we are not meeting them now,”’ Pruis ex- plained. 432) Administrators And now While trying to improve the ad- ministrative set-up, the Board and Trustees found themselves dealing with more pertinent problems. For instance, Pruis found himself appearing before a state committee to decide student finan- cial need for the following year. Campus programs, purposes, and needs kept the board busy, sometimes burning the midnight oil. An _ ad- ministrator’s day usually began about 8 a.m., but Pruis and his vice presidents found themselves starting earlier occa- sionally. One activity which seemed to be demanding for administrators was ap- pearances at public meetings. ‘‘We received more invitations that | could ac- cept,”’ said Pruis. At such meetings, administrators learn- ed what concerned the students, faculty, or staff. And what they learned wasn’t always pleasing to the administrator's ears. ‘‘In recent years, rather, for quite sometime, average American citizens have been rather concerned that their problems are someone else’s responsibili- ty,’’ Pruis related. Ball State administration tried to handle university problems with an optimistic at- titude. ‘‘Most problems have _ been created by people and should be solved by people,”’ Pruis said. ‘‘We try to take a a hard look at the problem, and solve it. Heavy snowfalls and severe cold weather of early 1977 created one major problem. The board closed Ball State for three more days than ever before. Although administrative demands seem to seclude administrators from the total campus community, Pruis and his staff slipped out of the Ad Building occasional- ly to see and talk with people walking on campus. “| make a very real effort to talk with students whenever possible,’ said Pruis, “| started the Cardinal Round Tables for just that reason.” “The relationships | have had with students are positive,’’ continued Pruis. “We have a fine student body and | enjoy being with the students | come in contact with.”” When the light in an administrative of- fice is switched off, the administrator, with a briefcase in hand, usually returns to his family. There may be a later meeting somewhere on campus he will at- tend, or a concert, but for the time his job is done. Before the first classroom fills the next day, he will return to the office—or out on an administrative errand—with another day ahead of him. Only on occa- sional trip to a hide-away in Northern Michigan could release the day to day responsibilities facing him. a word from our sponsor . ia ‘age Members of the Beta Theta Pi Fraternity act as pall- bearers for the funeral of Dr. John Emens, who passed away this past year.

Looking in on ... internal affairs = As chief administrative official since 1968, President John J. Pruis feels it is difficult to identify one role as being the most important for a president unless it is “administering the policies of the institu- tion in a way which serves the perceived best interests of the institution as a whole.”’ The president is not certain that there has been any unique event which has dramatically affected the university because ‘‘the university always lives in a climate of change.’’ Pruis feels that the general student mood is one of ‘‘serious interest in learning.”’ Ball State University Board of Trustees.

He feels the library is the most beneficial addition to the cam- pus due to its study and research facilities. An outdoor enthusiast and sports fan, Bumb feels that “‘students are becoming more positive. They are more interested in assisting with the solutions to problems.”’ As Vice President for Instructional Af- fairs and Dean of Facilities, Richard W. Burkhardt is considered the university's chief academic officer. Responsible for making final decisions and recommenda- tions to the president concerning reten- tion, promotion, and dismissal of faculty and subordinate administrators, Burkhardt strives to ‘stimulate and sup- port high academic standards.”’ He cited the completion of Bracken Library as the event contributing most significantly to Ball State’s intellectual life.

Bell completed his Bachelors Degree at Ball State. and has completed his thirtieth year as a member of the university faculty and staff. Coordinating the operation of university finance, Bell relates student financial needs to the Senate Finance and House Ways and Means Committees. “We continue our attempts to show the seriousness of forthcoming fee increases to our student body,’’ the administrator stressed. Concerning student attitude, Bell said, “‘] continue to be most impress- ed by the character, quality, and values of the students. They are never the same; yet, there is a constancy that continues to prevail.”’ “My most important role is to make sure that the student point of view is represented fairly to the president, other vice presidents, and the Board of Trustees,’’ says Merrill C. Beyerl, vice president for student affairs and de an of students. For 14 years, the dean has counseled students and parents, and supervised various Student Affair pro- grams. He feels that great increases in federal guidelines for such programs as Affirmative Action, Equal Opportunities, and Verterans’ Aid have greatly affected the university. Se SS Administrators As Assistant to the President, Richard C. McKee’s primary responsibility is to “carry out the requests of the president.”’ He also works on_ university travel budgets, car reservations, and in the of- fice of institutional studies. The ad- ministrator, who feels that student mood is ‘‘very positive,”’ is the Ball State liason officer to the Indiana Commission for Higher Education, and Indiana Vocational Technical College. According to McKee, university expansion has been the greatest in the associate of arts degree programs. amano William F. Brown serves faculty, students, and administrators as the direc- tor of the University Computer Center. He enjoys “‘intellectual and cultural things such as music and art,” and has supervis- ed the center for five years. = An increase in the amount of requests by state and federal agencies has ‘‘dic- tated a tremendous increase in the amount of time” given to the function of Coordinator of Institutional Studies, Casey A. Tucker. Tucker coordinates the release of information to governmental agencies and conducts studies as re- quested by the federal government and Indiana Commission for Higher Educa- tion. Rena s ea eee INTERNAL AFFAIRS continued “Assisting the president in developing and maintaining an effective personnel relations program” is the primary role of Ron Bouchard as administrative assistant to the president. Bouchard makes sure that the university complies with federal and state governmental regulations related to personnel activities. He feels that Title IX, certain compliance efforts, and new regulations for the handicapped have added new dimensions to his job, as well as affecting the entire student body. Development, administration, and maintenance of non-academic personnel programs comprise the major respon- sibilities of Joseph P. Nial, director of per- sonnel services. In this role, Nial screens, recruits, and trains personnel for various non-academic programs. The director says that women’s sports have had the “greatest growth in publicity, if not in scope.’ He feels that Title IX greatly af- fected the university; his role being to screen “‘our personnel related policies and practices to insure compliance.” As Director of Equal Opportunity- Affirmative Action, Betty Newcomb “assures that all university procedures are non-discriminatory; furthers the special interests of minorities, females, and other ‘affected’ classes; and attempts to pre- vent ‘possible’ problems of discrimination from turning into ‘bigger’ problems.” Newcomb feels that the Grievance Pro- cedure, which she monitored, provides a place for voicing complaints of all types of discrimination. She enjoys conversation, people, feminist movement, ‘‘political kinds of things (especially the ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment),’’ and dancing. __}439 Administrators A ARE 440| | Administrators “The dedication of Bracken Library and the initiation of academic planning stand out clearly in my mind as two major events unique to 1976-77, says Charles Smith, director of the office of research. Smith ‘‘facilitates the development of policies which encourage, assist, and im- prove the management of research and grant-related efforts.’’ He also supervises the publishing of research bulletins, acts as liason between university and potential grant agencies, and advises the vice presi- dent for institutional affairs on matters related to research. Victor B. Lawhead, dean of undergraduate programs, sees the new revision of the general studies program as providing greater academic flexibility for the students. Dean for 12 years, Lawhead supervises university-wide programs such as curricular advising, honors program, computer instruction, and residential in- struction. He expecially enjoys the “fine programming on WIPB, Channel 49,”’ and noted the extensive expansion of the nur- sing, architecture, and business pro- grams. = rr Stephen H. Wurster, director of academic planning and faculty develop- ment, considers his most important role as “helping the university and individual faculty members to prepare for change and the future.’’ His responsibilities in- volve academic planning, faculty develop- ment, library services, examination ser- vices, university evaluations, and academic analytical studies. Wurster feels the College of Architecture and Planning, College of Business, Nursing Program, and Foreign Language Departments have grown greatly throughout the year. Dean of Graduate School Robert H. Koenker broke new academic ground by helping to launch two new doctoral pro- grams and four new master programs. Responsibile for policies concerning graduate degrees for the past 31 years, Koenker serves as executive secretary of the Graduate Educational Policies Coun- cil. The dean also evaluates existing graduate programs. 441 Administrators INTERNAL AFFAIRS continued “My most important role is assisting others in bringing about the best instruc- tional processes for students of every age and from every location,”’ says Joseph S. Rawlings, dean of the School of Continu- ing Education. Rawlings’ responsibilities cover a wide range of programs, i.e., everything from evening and Saturday classes to administrative services for Grissom Air Force Base (AFB) program. “While the total number of students is about the same,’ Rawlings said, '! believe our quality of general instruction and supportive services is improved.” Denny Kramer feels that the addition of a second computer will affect almost every graduating student in the future years because ‘they will all have had some contact with computers. Our socie- ty is depending more and more on com- puters.” As Coordinator of Systems for Student Affairs, Kramer ‘‘enhances the development of computer-based systems for student affairs.’ He was recently responsible for insuring university com- pliance with family education rights and the Privacy Act (involving the opening of school records). Ball State University For 31 years, Associate Dean of Students Kenneth M. Collier has been “working with students to find solutions to their problems’’ by holding personal conferences, sponsoring the Interfraterni- ty Council, serving on the University Board of Review, and maintaining a file of legal documents concerning student rights. He sees Title IX, the Buckly Bill, and Due Process procedures as greatly af- fecting the students. ‘Students have both lost and gained in these events,’ he says. “With the increasing number of federal regulations affecting higher education, it is imperative that Student Affairs person- nel be informed on new policies,”’ says Dale Bowman, associate dean of students. Responsible for the student withdrawal program, Bowman advises and counsels students considering withdrawal, offering possible alternatives. She also implements staff development programs and in her leisure time enjoys tennis, cooking, bowling, and needle- point. mail Cae 7 Administrators — J _ According to Assistant Dean for Hous- ing Welker Bishop, ‘‘students are more concerned than before with national pro- blems and leadership.’’ Responsible for overall operation of university housing, staffing, programs, custodial services, contracts, and applications, Bishop feels it is his job to ‘‘be sure students have the best possible living at the lowest possible cost.’’ Outside the job, he is interested in travel, CB radio, and spectator sports, “especially Cardinal football and basket- ball.”’ Karen Hoefs of administrative services “insures housing accommodations for students and makes sure needed facilities are provided.’’ To do this, Hoefs works with Residence Hall Association contracts and applications, off campus housing regulations, and summer workshop hous- ing programs. “| try to make this (the residence hall) the best place for students to live,’’ says Mike Pitzo, director of campus residence hall facilities. To do this, Pitzo makes sure that residence hall facilities are kept in top shape and repaired when necessary. The director feels that several campus events, such as the fires and new keys for women, have changed residence hall liv- ing this year. As Assistant Dean for Student Pro- grams, as well as Director of Student Activities, James Marine is overall ad- ministrator of Student Programs (which includes Student Activities, Religious Programs, International Student Pro- grams, and Orientation-Handicapped Student Services) and directs the STAT system. Marine called 1976-77 a ‘‘quies- cent time in higher education,’’ adding that ‘‘the mood of Ball State students is subdued, but serious.”’ soe z Pee Through her work as_ Director of Residence Hall Personnel and Programs, Betty L. Harrah supervises hall directors, trains student staffs, and directs hall pro- grams. She feels that the unusual winter weather conditions, and the rape scares throughout autumn quarter created a tense atmosphere at times within the halls. As for student attitude, Harrah stated that students are more ‘‘work and study oriented than in previous years.” som Y The new administrator who serves the new students, Director of International Student Programs Kirk Robey sends in- formation abroad and responds to in- quiries of prospective students. The direc- tor develops an initial orientation program and helps the foreign students become accustomed to a new culture. Robey en- joys gourmet cooking, antique furniture restoration, and photography. 443 Administrators = Wensams eeeS see As Director of Religious Programs George W. Jones acts as a liason be- tween the university and_ religious organizations. He is also the adviser for the Student Religious Council and con- sults with academic departments on pro- grams concerning religious matters. He enjoys teaching students how to plan and work with others through organizations and programs. Although ‘‘school clos- ings, financial pressures, and a poor job market have been stressful problems af- fecting students,’’ Jones feels ‘‘they have brought students closer together teaching them to seek help beyond self.’’ Robert Foster, director of the office of special programs, sees his role as one of “planning, directing, and coordinating ac- tivities to develop new academic pro- grams and supportive services for minori- ty and special students.’’ Holding the position for eight years, the director feels that Title IX was a major influence on the student body. 444| lAdministrators INTERNAL AFFAIRS As Director of Orientation, Rich Harris conducts a summer program for nearly 3,600 matriculates. The director also serves as coordinator of handicapped ser- vices which entails recommending physical changes, providing readers for the blind, advising Disabled Students in Action, and supervising special orienta- tion programs. Harris feels that today’s students have ‘’a more serious purpose and concern for the future”’ than students of previous years. He said that handicap- ped services have been especially involv- ed in trying to upgrade services for deaf students. According to Judy Abrahamson, assis- tant director of student activities, “Students are becoming more aware of the administration of their university, ask- ing such questions as ‘Where is the money spent?’ and ‘Who decides alloca- tion?’’” Becoming Panhellenic Council Adviser with the retirement of Dean Mar- tha Wickman, Abrahamson advises the Student Center Governing Board, (SCGB), cheerleaders, pom pons, and Social Activities Board. The administrator believes the university is ‘‘hopefully becoming aware that the student should have a voice in the running of their univer- sity.” Even though the harsh weather of winter ‘77 ‘‘tended to dampen everyone's spirits,’’ Pat Volp saw a ‘‘marked increase in the enthusiasm and participation in the Student Voluntary Services (SVS) Pro- grams. Becoming the official Assistant Director of Religious Programs and SVS on January 1, Volp advises students and organizations in initiating and maintaining programs in the Muncie community. She feels the fire situation drew students closer together and the campus expanded by adapting facilities for disabled students. As Assistant Dean of Student Services, Director of Admissions, and Professor of Higher Education, Richard Rowray is greatly involved with the student body. Responsibilities include coordinating such programs as the Office of Admissions, Placement, Professional Selection, and Student Financial Aids. As a newly added responsibility, Rowray was in charge of the writing and approval of a grant delivery concerning student career and life planning. He feels that ‘‘rising inflation with greater demands for more produc- tion’ has greatly affected the university. continued | Director of Placement, Glenn T. Rosenthal feels the labor market had a significant impact on stabilizing university enrollment. The administrator pointed out a shifting of academic interest coming about from the bleak employment pic- ture, causing growth in the College of Ar- chitecture and Landscape and College of Business. ‘The attitude of today’s stu- dent is one of seriousness and dedication on one hand and an attitude of ‘what's the use?’ on the other,’’ Rosenthal stated. He enjoys golf, wine making, spectator sports, and cards. 4 pia pay | 4 4 4 4 il “More emphasis must be placed on training students to be more interper- sonally aware of themselves,’’ says Peter M. Mitchell, director of counseling and psychological services center. Mitchell's responsibilities include administration of the counseling center, counseling, con- sultation, and occasional instruction. He feels that college students are more “sober, serious, dedicated, and anxious,”’ than before, and that “higher education must come to grips with the changing needs of society.” Head of Professional Selection. Margaret Knueppel Hosey works ‘’behind the scenes as a liason between various departments and the students.’ In this role, Hosey processes the choice of major-minor approval by each department and handles department approval for graduation. She also teaches educational psychology. Dr. Paul Pentecost is a name that hopefully will not be familiar to many students. Not that Dr. Pentecost does not do an exceptional job in his respon- sibilities; it’s just that most students do not want to find themselves on a hospital bed being visited by the director of the Student Health Center! Pentecost’s job entails diagnosing and treating students and university employees who have become ill on the job. He also refers special cases to Ball Memorial Hospital or to known specialists. The doctor’s:job does not involve just individual cases alone. Many times he vaccinates an entire group of students, and serves as a counselor, advises students on diets, body care, and the prevention of diseases. Administering all forms of financial aid and organizing funds received from federal and state organizations, private groups, individuals, and the university, are special duties of Norman E. Beck as director of student financial aids. Beck feels that current changes in legislation have helped students that are honest and restricted those desiring to ‘‘rip-off’’ the system. Beck also served on the Advisory Committee for the Hayes Study, State Scholarship Commission, study group for the secretary of HEW, and vice chairman of the College Scholarship Assembly. Registrar Joseph Espey feels that the Opening of Bracken Library had the greatest effect on students during the 1976-77 academic year. Espey handles student registration by keeping records of class and grade lists for professors. As a new responsibility, Espey headed com- mencement planning. 5 Administrators As Director of Campus Planning, Maurice B. Mann ‘‘coordinates the efforts of various persons and units in order to complete the job.’’ He directs the plan- ning of new facilities and major remodel- ings and serves as secretary of the Master Planning Committee and liason for several other committees. The director supervis- ed the planning of the new Student Center parking structure and enjoys crafts and church as outside activities. The reported rape situations, fires, and complications caused by the rough winter weather presented new job challenges to Director of Traffic, Safety, and Security, Tom Osborn. Holding this position for 20 years, Osborn considers “preserving the safety and security of individuals and their property, and managing traffic flow and parking regulations’ to be his most im- portant roles. Newly added _ respon- sibilities included dealing with the new parking structure. January marked the first anniversary of the student cadet pro- grams. 446 Administrators Robert E. Linson came this fall as assis- tant vice president of alumni and develop- ment, bringing with him 22 years of ex- perience in the area of alumni relations and university fund raising. Supervising the alumni relations program, Linson con- siders the winning of the Mid-American Conference football title to be the most important event of the year. “Students are more interested in jobs and ‘nitty gritty’ things than they were a few years ago,’ says Tracy Norris, director of university relations. Norris deals primarily in communications with “various internal and external publics.’ He also worked on a televised report presented by President Pruis in January on WIPB-TV. The administrator feels that students are concerned about campus safety and lighting, recreational facilities, and possible fee increases. Football, basketball, and the Midwest Writers’ Workshop are some of his main interests. As Director of Conferences and Special Events since March of 1976, David Stout arranges meetings, conventions, and conferences for outside clients seeking to use university facilities, as well as for campus departments. A hi-fi buff and part-time radio announcer for Anderson station WLHN, Stout sees the most im- portant part of his job as ‘‘representing the university effectively to conference clients and making their conferences rewarding experiences.”’ “A heavy load of poster deadlines’’ comprises the working schedule of Terry Schull, head of display services. Reponsi- ble for providing posters and exhibits for university functions, Schull is also in- terested in sports and involved in Big Brothers of Delaware County. | i | | } | | | As Director of Public Information Ser- vices, Marie Fraser is the university's of- ficial news officer, responsible for work- ing with the media, both print and elec- tronic, throughout the state as well as na- tionally or internationally, as the story demands. Her office works with magazines, public and private agencies, and governmental units needing infor- mation about Ball State. Major respon- sibilities include the publication ‘‘On the Ball’ and the Creative Arts on the Cam- pus Calendar. As a hobby, Fraser is in- terested in the restoration of coverec bridges. junc “We're delighted to be working with the students again,” says James Needham, general manager of WIPB ive Needham manages all phases of opera- tion at WIPB, trying to make it ‘‘respon- sive to the needs and interests of the peo- ple in the area.’’ During the elections, WIPB ran special coverage which involv- ed 32 students. He says that ‘‘the students we have are dependable, sensi- ble, and dedicated to good public televi- sion.” Dealing mainly with men’s _ inter- collegiate athletics, Sports Information Director Earl Yestingsmeier provides sports information services to the news media, Ball State coaches, other univer- sities’ sports information departments, professional publications, and the general public. Greater contact with television and national sports media, and increased competition between men’s and women’s sports for media exposure have added new responsibilities to this role. The direc- tor feels that winning the Mid-American Conference football championship ‘‘was a great boost for the Ball State inter- collegiate athletic program and an area of much pride for the university.” President As Assistant Vice for Finance, Thomas J. Kinghorn represents the university before the State legislature and other governmental agencies, and directs the preparation of requests for securing operating and capital funds. “Building and maintaining relationships with legislative staffs to keep them in- formed about the university’ are Kinghorn’s most important roles. The ad- ministrator considers the enthusiasm generated by the Mid-American Con- ference championship in football, the elections, and the institution of a campus wide academic planning and development effort to be important 1976-77 events af- fecting the student body. INTERNAL AFFAIRS continued Although she has no personal contact with the students, Director of University Publications Gertrude Kane affects the university through printed material. Kane has directed the planning and preparation of official university publications since 1961. For the Director of Budgeting and Assistant Treasurer, Ethel Himelick, “constant alertness to needed revisions in budget projections” is an essential job necessity. Also serving as Recording Secretary for the Board of Trustees, Himelick plans, directs, and coordinates the preparation and administration of university budgets. ‘“There’s always the problem of balancing available dollars with needs,’’ she pointed out. _ _ (447 Administrators 448 As Contracts and Grants Officer, James R. Johnson assists program direc- tors with the fiscal administration for research, training, and equipment grants awarded to the university by federal, state, and other governmental agencies. He also helps develop budgets for the academic year and summer field studies, preparing contracts with travel agents when required. Johnson is heavily involv- ed with the United Methodist Church, president of the Wesley Foundation Board, and active as Naval Reservist and Kiwanis Club officer. Keeping the planning and operation of the billing and collection process running smoothly, Bursar Robert L. Klinedinst is responsible for the assessing, billing, and collecting of registration and tuition fees room and board payments, and other monies for the university. He also main- tains internal security and oversees the deposit of funds. Administrators Establishing university accounting policies, Controller Gordon Sleeper main- tains official financial records and manages outstanding student loans, cash and investments, assessing, billing, and insurance. The administrator, who enjoys university music performances and foot- ball games, feels the 1977 economic con- ditions emphasized his role of making the most of limited funds. Payroll considers the “issuing of payroll checks in a timely and correct manner”’ to be her most important role. Key responsibilites include issuing all payroll checks for the Supervisor Evelyn Wulff university, paying all fringe benefits, supervising the maintenance of the com- puterized payroll system, and making reports for inter-office and state use. The supervisor enjoys travel, reading, and her family. For the past three years, Manager of Accounting Stephen L. Litten has directed the operational personnel of the accounting office.

Newton oversees total business operations of residence hall housing and dining, married student apartments, all operations of the Student Center, athletics, the ‘‘Daily News” and “Orient, ’ and Kitselman Conference Center. Outside interests include church, civic groups, photography, and family. INTERNAL AFFAIRS Aside from directing inventory control, continued new responsibilities for Director of Pur- chasing Jack McFarland included the ex- pansion of Central Stores and the crea- tion of the Central Salvage and Surplus. The new duties were brought about by the need for better control and added re- quirements necessary for the university. According to the director, ‘There is a great emphasis currently placed on pur- chasing to minimize ever increasing price explosions.” McFarland enjoys, golf, closed circuit video, and camping. Coming to Ball State in July of 1976 as Assistant Director of Physical Plant, Ken Rott became the director on October 1. His job concerns the upkeep of academic buildings and the management of the plant budget. He feels that the rough winter weather had a great effect as far as the budget was concerned because “‘it cost a lot for labor and fuel.”’ As Coordinator of Business Services, Charles ‘‘Bud’’ Icerman keeps com- munications running smoothly by super- vising central mailing, central telephone service, the reproduction center, moving crews, and the courier service. The ad- ministrator has held this position for eight years.

Click, and Roger Loewen for planting the “seeds of knowledge”’ at the Ohio University Journalism Workshop. And to Dave Wesson, Orient adviser Dave West, and Journalism Dpartment Chair- man Louis Ingelhart, | give my appreeciation for nur- turing that seed in its growth and development. | must also acknowledge the talent and dedication of each individual listed on this page. Copy Editor Leslie Shiel ‘ops the list of those special people deserving thariks. My sincere gratitude goes to my family and friends for their continual support and encourage- ment. Without each of these people, the 1977 Orient could not have become a reality.

Index Closing : 3 : times We were of our new ideas, Our d our in- breaking very beings, beyond. Tati ii mx Nou believe insomet hing that youve never: scent before? The hardest crossings materialize when one can not see or predict the final out- come..No glue, or plaster can reform bar- riers that have been broken; lines that have been erased. One can only hope that the in- itial step, the inspired cross will carry some sort of true meaning. Whether the endeavor is the completion of a yearbook, attainment of a degree, or the finding of ones’ self, it involves a soul-searching process by which the individual struggles to grasp a realization of his purpose. is Aerts = oo a ener seperate ——— ay seer dynein veer ane tee seal cle ‘ aon: — sons aie a a = _-— ——___ = Ate we eth As os ae RE Rae Secs s Make eal ANAS Oe ERE Sy RP Ook 7S PES ES, OCONEE OE nM ah: thy OR ee a ee ce ae a ck na aa aca ica he aa ee ee Sere a Sota RY SSA
