1978 Orient, Vol. 60 Ball State University Muncie, Indiana 47306 Encounters confronted everyone connected with Ball State. Contests developed on the playing field, in the Ad Building, and all around campus, drawing students, ad- ministrators, and faculty into several Close Encounters. (PI, MJI, WEV) “7S BALL GRATE ORIENT Waiting for class, with the annual publication of Roll Call, a speical edition of the Daily News aimed at indoctrinating freshmen, the year had _ begun.

Drawn into the viscid web. The chaotic disorder. The fervor. Those affected described what followed as a disjointed year, a year seared with the pains of growth, a year plagued with CLOSE ENCOUNTERS... Like a zigsaw puzzle, few pieces fell into place easily. One problem enticed another. Issues that had never been touched before, or Outside studies. Bracken was made for students who searched the campus far and wide for solitude, a chance to study or sleep in peace.

University encounters with the board of trustees filtered into all levels of education and in some way affected each individual. For the first time, everyone had a voice, everyone was involved. Students complained about the excessive number of classes that were being dropped, so the deans held an informal Round Table to explain procedures. At the Tally- Ho Pruis’ pending resignation, the Hayes Study and the University budget were topics that rose above the buzz of conversation and the tunes of the juke box. A noted musician. some students and the surrounding campus community flocked to Emens Auditorium in October to hear the fruits of conductor Arthur Fiedler. Fiedler was guest conductor of the Muncie Symphony Orchestra. (WEV) Taking a Benny-back ride, astride the winged Beneficience, a testimonial to the generosity of the Ball Brothers, this senior was no doubt fulfilling a four-year fantasy. Throughout the year Benny held pumpkins, tires, beer cans and publicity posters; however, Benny was not impressed, standing motionless as ever.

Despite the snow, the subzero temperatures, and the lag in classes, Newman Center attracted its largest crowd at their annual Christmas Midnight Mass. In the height of the 104-day coal strike that spurred a nationwide energy crunch and the cancellation of annual University events, Student Association reaped their highest voter turnout during the all-campus elections. Sporting events were filled with feverish Close En- counters as hopes for a MAC championship faded because of a loss to Kent State. Freedom of speech remained intact as students listen- ed to diverse interpretations of the Sermon on the Mount. Preachers often shouted from benches located at the Old Science Building, Cooper Science, and the Scramble Light, hoping to reform wayward sinners. opti aero Close encounters of all kinds “WE ARE NOT ALONE” Although the year as a whole moved in broken, staccato succession, rather than flowing smoothly from one quarter to the next, the student body hung together. The controversies that jolted the year, the belligerent blizzard that pounded the already harsh winter, and the coal strike that ordered students to conserve on energy and food—all were survived. Students grew closer during the hardships and learned to depend on each other; professors grew more lenient with cancellation of classes and demonstrated genuine concern for students. I é 7 a, ny Symbolizing a massive stack of books, the walls of Bracken Library housed the pressures, challenges, and resources in- volved in academic endeavors. An exten- sion of library hours proved beneficial to late-night studiers and _ project pro- crastinators.

The year proved true Murphey’s Law: “Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.” But despite the hardships, students stretched themselves to their fullest potential. Some pulled all nighters, functioning without sleep for 72 hours in order to land assignments on time. Others sacrificed valuable study time, at the expense of high grades to help a friend wade through a problem. i wae % Jeg en Many poured their talents and energies into organizations, working together for common goals. The Cardinal football team persistently battled, trying to quench the MAC title. Some students boogied 48 hours to raise funds for muscular dystrophy, while others spent Thanksgiving break in Appalachia and Kentucky helping needy families. Getting a rush, to join or not to join, that was the question not only for freshmen, but for sophomores and juniors, both men and women. Both Greeks and independents, espousing one view or the other, had established preconceptions. (WEV) A rare moment, to be alone sometimes could prove to be a fruitless quest on campus. To just sit by one’s self, think about the day, collect thoughts, get one’s head together. (WEV) Put on a happy face. Was this the face that launched a thousand lawn decks?

Rooted friendships grew and new ones were cemented; everyone struggled together to maintain a positive outlook even though the year was bombarded CLOSE ENCOUNTERS... Between class breaks often were spent at the Student Center. Student entertainment throughout the weekends was available through the efforts of Stu- dent Center Governing Board. A bowling alley, snack bar, hotel, and various other services were provided. It was back to the days of dance marathons as halls, organizations, and Greeks competed in campus-wide games, earning money for Campus Chest.

Parking spaces for commuters became easy to find. Book-toting students wore shorts, sandles, halter tops, and tans, and occasional sprinters to the university pool were daily sights. Sweating out three hours of class a day, flipping a frisbee between the trees of the arts terrace, or punching in a time card seemed to fill up the excess amount of time under a warm, summer sun. The suitcase syndrome developed into a massive weekend exodus, leaving a mere four or five cars dotting the Johnson Complex parking lot and a few out LaFollette. Even during the week, the campus took on an almost ghost town-like ap- pearance, while a mere 6,069 students (many of those being commuters) sat through 90-minute classes. Occasion- ally, enthused Orientation groups, week-long workshop participants, or campus construction crews interrup- ted the near silence. “It was so quiet you wouldn't believe it,” said Jeff Thomasson of the summer at Ball State. The Zionsville sophomore explained that while study- ing, he often left his Hurst Hall room door open—seldom to hear an actual human voice. For some students, the summer quickly became a quiet, routine affair. While most students breaded Big Macs, passed parts on assembly lines, or spent the summer buried in books, 14 natural resources students invaded the forest as co unselors at the Lincoln Hill Youth Conservation Camp in Branchville. “This was my first opportunity to apply what I have learned in my college natural resources classes,” said Lance Myers, one of the students who worked at the Hoosier National Forest camp during the summer. Playing counselor wasn't as simple as one might think. Counselors were responsible for environmental education, recreational activities, and field trips for youths, 15-18. “The counselors did more than was required of them in camp, and their concern for the environment was transmitted to the campers,” Donald Van Meter, professor of natural resources who worked with . ‘the students as assistant camp director, said. Working with the youngsters was ‘a daily educational activity as well as a nightly duty. Dedication and cooperation made the camp click. “I have never seen.a group work 3 Living sx Summer Events _ bewildered students scattered through- A Big Mac alternative A shortening of library hours mel- lowed the usual studying center early, allowing ample time for late-hour ac- tivities. However, the campus seemed to die with the early closing of the library each day. Even the academic- year partying and hell-raising no longer seemed to exist. “People didn’t party like they do during the regular year,” said Mary Mackin, South Bend sophomore. For her, miniature golf and card-playing replaced the rowdy activities of earlier months on campus. Most association between students came via classes.

(DEV) Gr pp. 6 ———————e I was something to talk about. Representing all 50 states and 17 foreign countries, members of The Way International, a biblical research and teaching ministry, congregated on campus to participate in a two-week session beginning Saturday, June 18, and ending Saturday, July 2. The Way’s class in “Power for Abundant Living” (PFAL) is normally presented on film or audio tapes, but in recognition of The Way’s 30th anniversary, the classes were taught live by the Rev. Victor Paul Wierwille, controversial founder and president of The Way International. Rev. Wierwille controls the teaching and the administration of The Way. All books and pamphlets of the organization are either written or authorized by him. The $6 million Way Bob Winegarner, The Way's coordinator for the conference, contacted Dave Stout, Ball State’s director of conferences and special events, in late June of 1976. Stout's office acts as the mediator between groups and the university. Even though The Way is a controversial group and one of many cults that have parents concerned over “programming” of their children, Stout’s office issued the group the usual rubber stamp. “Rarely is there ever any question as to whether a group should have a conference here,” Stout said. As early as December, 1976, administrators began questioning the wisdom of such an automatic approval of The Way's conference. Dr. George Jones, director of religious programming, sent a memo to Dr. James Marine, assistant dean of Student Programs, explaining the nature of The Way. Since the conference had already been cleared, Jones was instructed by Dr. Merrill Beyerl, dean of students, to prepare a formal report on the group. Jones read Way literature and talked to local Way adviser Carl Hoge in preparing his report. Jones admitted in the opening paragraph of his report his “dislike for the doctrines and methods of the group and his “sympathy for the young people who have found help from The Way.” Bias aside, the report showed, for one thing, that The Way International makes a lot of money. According to the report: “The income of The Way International has astronomic potential. If even 10,000 adherents tithe a $5,000 income and take two courses per year at $75 per course, the income to The Way International headquarters would be $6.5 million. Except for a central staff, most leadership seem to donate their time to the organization. The purchase of a college campus, the preparation of high class graphic and video material, and anti-slander legal action are made possible by a flow of income of this magnitude.” Jones goes on to say that The Way draws its membership from “the alienated youth of today,” citing an advertisement which propounds The Way's PFAL sessions. The advertisement states: “If you have power for abundant living, you can gain self-respect; enjoy satisfying work with more-than-adequate income. You can overcome depression, discouragement, and disappointment and have love, joy, and real peace. . . If you have the more-than-abundant life, you can have whatever you want!” Ball State got what it wanted. The Way was billed approximately $517,000 which included dining, housing, use of Emens Auditorium, special meals at the Student Center, a picnic for Way members, and long-distance telephone calls. (RLA) Much of The Way’s philosophy was taught through a Power for Abundant Living seminar (PFAL). Ed Sanes, an instructor for the religious organization, lectures to a class of Way followers. Several students attended the informal classes as well.

Smock was jailed and released on $500 bond. Soon afterwards, he managed to requisition the Arts Terrace, and he continued his campaign against The Way from there. If nothing else, The Way managed to inject some life into an otherwise dreary campus. “It was like we were invaded,” Mary Mackin said. Over- night, the campus population had nearly doubled, and, to Mackin, it seemed almost like the regular school year. When The Way packed up and left, the controversy left with it, and the Physical improvements scheduled for the off-season included a new vault for the Administration Building and the re-surfacing of campus roads. Finishing touches are added to the new parking structure, despite it having opened six months earlier. (DRT) Student protest to The Way was exhibited in many ways during the organization’s two-week stay. Graduate student Dan Kunt displays his opposition to the teachings of the group on his chest.

Off campus, the situa- tion was different as police and firemen fell into conflict with city of- ficials over wages. Firemen struck, and police staged a sick-in, while Mayor Robert Cun- ningham, several councilmen, rookie firemen, and a number of volunteers manned fire trucks. For 36 hours, the situation was tense. Then the council granted a 12 per cent increase, and the job action ended. Happily, there had been no outbreak of crime and no disasterous fires during the strikes. Students heard about the city con- flicts on national network news or by word of mouth, but they did not realize until later that the _ strikes would trigger similar job actions across the state. While Muncie faced job actions, the campus was undergoing a face-lift. Even knowledgeable BSU veterans showing the campus to Orientation groups were thrown a curve during the summer of 1977. Finding one’s way around the campus had never been an easy task, but summer construction made the situation unbearable. Summer saw the long-awaited shift of the Department of Journalism from its six decrepit houses scattered on Talley and College Avenues to the Journalism faculty and staff spent a disorganized summer moving into the department’s new quarters. Department Chairman Louis Inglehart and secretary Gerry Lee try to keep up with administrative duties, despite hectic moving in procedures.

West Quad, formerly the Service and Stores Building, also became the new home of the Department of Natural Resources which had been located in Lucina Hall. Renovation also began on North Quad, formerly the library. Construc- tion on the building that was to even- tually house the College of Science and Humanities would continue through the school year. The Administration Building also underwent what university officials called “a much-needed face-lift,” and the Student Center had a ramp for handicapped students installed. After much debate, work began on clearing the old mobile home court north of the Health Center. A parking lot now oc- cupies the space. Tennis courts, the first phase of a proposed recreation area north of Johnson Complex, were supposed to be ready for use at the beginning of fall quarter but were not. Basketball and volleyball courts, picnic grounds, and improvements for the duck pond were to make up the second phase of the controversial operation. Installing and improving rampways for the han- dicapped was a major project during the hot summer months, Contractors spent several weeks constructing a ramp in front of the student center.

Construction of an off-campus radio transmission tower for WBST-FM became another area of controversy when residents near the construction site complained the tower would lower After 13 years of requests, the FCC finally granted WBST-FM permission to build a larger transmitting tower. Residents near the site, in protest, were able to halt construction with a court order, but not before this maintenance shed was completed.

Zoning officials issued a stop-work order at the site, but Ball State officials, claiming that as a state institution the university is exempt from local zoning or- dinances, continued with the construc- tion. A court case in December would settle the dispute in Ball State’s favor. Most students remained oblivious to the controversies occurring in and around Muncie, preferring instead to use their free time to relax and enjoy the sun. “It was a lot less hectic and easier going,” said Mackin of the summer on campus. “It was more relaxed.” When students weren't relaxing or studying, there were a number of diversions to keep them occupied. They listened to workshop cheerlea- ders scream into all hours of the night at the LaFollette soccer field or dropped into The Chug to hear J. Michael Henderson and Michael Mur- phy perform in a June concert. Later, students escaped the heat and listened to Bill Wilson in the Tally-Ho snack bar during a Public Relations Student Society benefit show. Other students turned to summer theatre for a book break. Anna Marie Miller, Munster senior, added hours to her days by taking on an acting role in A Thousand Clowns, presented July 7-9 in the Ball State Theatre. Alan Jones, a Newark, Delaware, graduate student, remained in Muncie for the summer and evoked laughter in Plaza Suite. The second five-week summer ses- sion ended with final exams August 11. A mere four weeks remained before fall bookstore lines, parking hassles, and actual studying would again dominate the campus lifestyle. The summer had passed—slowly for some, quickly for others. But for the majority, it had not been dull. For more, it had not been easy. It was hot and full of controversy; but it was also a summer that was in- teresting and unique. (RLA, JEG) ee 1b? is LaFollette, and over there is the cow path. . . That huge building over there—the one that looks like a stack of books—is Bracken Library. “To our immediate left are the Architecture Building and the College of Business. Yes, that’s right. People actually study in there. But they ll be tearing it down soon. The new College of Business will be located right here, between Bracken and the Architecture Building.” The Student Orientation Corps (SOC) leader had to yell to be heard all the way to the back of the long procession of Orientation students that followed her. Like cattle, the group followed, hanging on her every word. For 12 weeks, the process continued. T-shirted SOC leaders, red folders in hand, threaded their way through the campus, pointing out to their followers objects of interest, or importance, or both. Touring the campus occupied only a fraction of the time the 400 to 500 incoming freshmen spent in their campus introduction. Visiting with curricular advisers and selecting new Overnight insight classes for fall dominated the importance of orientation, but organized activities went further than that. Rap sessions for both parents and students, led by SOC leaders, broadened the image of the university. Where the handbooks and campus pamphlets stopped, the rap sessions began. “No, girls do not have to be in by 9 o'clock,” said Lucy Hitzfield, Orientation parent coordinator, to an inquisitive, possibly over- protective mother. Disco dancing and Domino’s pizza chomping topped off the first day of Orientation before retiring to Noyer Complex dorm rooms for a quieter- than-usual night in a BSU residence hall. “For many of them (freshmen) it was the first time away from home and certainly for being in a dorm setting,” stated Orientation director Richard Harris. “We did what we could to relieve anxieties that were caused by this.” The majority of the freshmen thought the orientation was worthwhile, although a few felt it WBST Tower, Recreation, Summer Theatre, Orientation x was boring, especially if they lived near Muncie. Bob Holdforth, from Forest Heights, Maryland seemed to like the two-day stay. “Orientation helped me to meet a lot of people,” he said. “It also helped me to get used to the area and living in a dormitory.” Anxieties, questions, and answers fell into place for the green BSU students and parents. SOC groups aired vital information about the university and not-so-vital insights like where to eat on Friday nights or why to avoid the Health Center—things only upperclassmen could relate to the groups. With schedules in hand for fall quarter, the freshman left his campus stay looking forward to September. “It's not as bad as I thought it would be,” stated Jill Barrett, Selma. “A few of the administrative talks were a bit long, but overall it was pretty good after I got there.” (KJG) Orientation was just as much for new parents as for new students.

They came pulling U-Hauls and in battered Volkswagen bugs, bringing portable television sets, throw pillows, and Har- brace handbooks. Industrial Trust Time Temperature remembers September 4, 5, and 6, 1977 as hot and horrible. Despite the heat, moving in at Ball State University was a fall ritual as traditional as Benny. Campus Cadet Brad Woods, New Castle junior, worked during the mov- ing in. “There were no real hassles,” he said, “and the university police should be commended for a fine job.” Woods was almost amazed that there were no really bad traffic tie-ups. Director of Traffic, Safety, and Security Tom Osborn saw moving in from a different perspective. “People seemed to forget they were one in a thousand moving into a par- ticular area,” he said. “They would unload and then just leave their cars. “We used increased personnel to handle traffic,” he continued. “The ci- ty and county reserves helped tremen- dously.” Police reports showed only one on-campus accident occurred dur- ing the moving in time. Scott Killings, member of Delta Chi fraternity, avoided the moving in rush by returning to Muncie earlier in the summer. As a former hall resident, Killings was overjoyed not to fight the traffic or bother with check-in pro- cedures. “T don’t miss the strictness of dorms. There’s not always someone looking down your shoulder to see if you are doing the right things,” the Kokomo junior said. Campus traffic ebbed and flowed, but really crowded conditions existed in the dorms. Residence halls normally house 6,837 students, according to housing office figures. However, an ex- tra 361 residents were sardined into what the housing office called “tem- porary housing” and what the students called “study lounges.” “The temporary housing was not an ideal situation,” said Karen Hoefs, director of administrative services at the housing office, “but the students coped with it as well as they could. MovingIn x Hassles 23 hot and horrible days Assorted trash stacked up around campus proved quite a hassle for sanitation workers. Leftovers from the back-to-Muncie march form an ominous pile behind Tichenor Hall in Dehority Complex. (DRT) “Most of the students were happy to be able to come to school, since the registrars office stopped admitting (new students) in July, and many students were deferred until winter or spring quarters,” she continued. Hoefs attributed the overcrowded conditions to the fact that 300 to 400 more upperclassmen than _ usual returned to halls while the number of freshmen, the usual dorm occupants, increased. However, she said more than 100 students in temporary hous- ing had been offered a room by September 20. Ten Wood Hall residents received quite a surprise upon moving in. Each discovered she would have nine room- mates in a former sorority suite—not one roommate with dirty ashtrays and a clanging alarm clock, but nine. “It was a real shock. I mean, I thought I was going to be in with maybe four other girls,” said Valerie Berry, Gary freshman. “I just wanted to go home.” Terese Arvin, student senator from Trane Hall, faced few hassles upon coming to school because she moved in early. However, about helping freshmen residents get acquainted with the hall, the Crown Point junior told a different story. “One wistful-looking freshman came in with a suitcase under each arm, went to the desk, and told them 24 Living x Hassles Whole families sometimes got into the act of moving in.

The desk didn't have her listed on their IBM sheet, and the girl said, ‘I’ve got a letter from housing in my suitcase saying I live here.’ ” Problems like this were worked out eventually, usually with little incon- venience to incoming students. “Traffic in the Woodworth- DeHority area was a problem with eight halls trying to move in,” Arvin continued. “Campus police did a fairly Traffic did not flow easily in the congested DeHority- Woodworth parking lot with eight female halls moy- ing in at the same time. Double-parked cars, vans, and U-Hauls caused tight squeezes for those trying to enter and exit the overcrowded area.

I’m in one space—I’m between the two yellow lines, and I put my quarter in the meter.” “But, you have a purple sticker. Purple-stickered vehicles are not allowed to park on campus.” Day after day discussions similar to this took place between students and campus cadets. On a campus dotted with 6,408 parking spaces—including those of the parking structure and special parking areas such as the Phillips Tennis Courts—a count taken in Oc- tober showed that there were 9,282 cars registered. That was almost 3,000 more cars than spaces. However, according to Tom Osborn of the University Police, there were ample parking spaces on campus. He pointed out that the number of registered cars also in- cluded the second cars of several students and faculty members and that the total 9,282 cars were never on campus at the same time. The real problem involved the number of “convenient” parking spaces available. Some students found themselves having to walk quite a distance from their cars to their classes or to work. Freshmen living in Wagoner Complex had to walk half a mile to their cars in the overflow lot north of Johnson. Off- campus students often spent the first ten minutes of a class looking for parking space within walking distance. According to campus cadets and university police, vandalism occurred almost daily. This, as in most large parking areas, was caused by insuffi- cient lighting. Though police and cadets claimed they did their best to deter vandalism, catching all the Traffic, Safety, and Security, he had few problems. Of course, on those occasions when the student couldn't find a parking space near his dorm, had spent his last quarter on a Coke, and the parking structure attendant wouldn't let him enter until he had deposited 50 cents—or when a group of campus thugs deflated all four of his tires while he was rummaging through his pockets for some change—well, then he had some pro- blems. (REB) chronic wheel- and tire-deflators, the ® CB-thieves, and the sticky-fingered tape player-snatchers was all but im- possible.

(CMB, ALM) Rules and windows to be broken Life in a residence hall meant life with rules. Each hall had a unique way of ex- pressing itself, within hall rules and without. There were no rules con- doning the Hose King’s waterfights in Edwards Hall or the obscene Palmer Whitcraft yodeling that flut- tered from window to window. There were no specifics regarding shopping carts in closets or greased doorknobs. But the law was specifically and sincerely laid down regarding alcohol consumption, drug usage, and visita- tion rights. Violators were subject to social probation, a label tagged to stu- dent records. 26 Living x Hassles Ren Tuer?

(JAG) A ‘there comes a time’ kind of story Samenes we forget that few of us suffer the trauma of going away to school for the first time alone. We seldom stop to think of how our leaving home affects those who raised us. Jeff Snyder was a freshman. And like other matriculates, he had to break away from home and adjust to a new environment. His father, Jim Snyder, a broadcaster on radio WMaAL 63 in Washington, D.C. used his radio show to express some thoughts about son Jeff's first trip to college. INTRO: Jim Slade (radio name ) took his son to college the other day. He reports: This is a “there comes a time in every person's life” kind of story. Anyone who has ever done it will recognize it and anyone who may do it someday has thought about it. I took my oldest son to college. Jeff is nearly 18 years old now and wants to be an archaeologist. For that reason, he chose a university out in Indiana which has a very good program. It wouldn't have mattered where he went, though, because the story would still have been the same. You get used to a kid in 18 years. Each new thing he does is something different in your life, as much a new experience for you as for him. There was the first pair of real shoes, the first haircut (it took three men to hold him down), the first day of school, the first pair of glasses, the first part-time job, the first solo on a brand new driver’s license. But there is nothing in that to compare with his and your first day at college. All the others were okay because when the novelty wore off, the youngster was still there. Right? Not this time. This is different. Now you come to the jolting realization your son or daughter has taken the first step away; that from now on the return home is more or less temporary. Maybe you put it out of your mind, or maybe you just don’t think about it until the last minute. But those are the facts of the matter, and ironically, what you have been planning all these years. Well, we huffed and puffed over the trunk, the suitcases, the duffle bag, the bicycle, the radio, the magazines, the posters and what have you; we toured the campus, my wife, my younger son, Jeff and me. We ate lunch, and we dallied. But there were 500 miles or more back to Virginia and there was no way around it. Finally, we pulled away from the curb, leaving one of the party behind. Funny how blurry a windshield can be on a sunny day in Indiana. Now let’s see...how many days until Thanksgiving? This is Jim Slade.

Acts of vandalism were also discouraged. Popular late-night ac- tivities such as fire alarm-pulling and floor-flooding were frowned upon by directors, staffs, and often residents alike. A common complaint by directors concerned their disappointment in residents who openly denied breaking a rule even when caught in the act. They believed it was fairly obvious that something was wrong when a size-11 tennis shoe protruded from under the bed of a petite sophomore who demurely stated, “There’s no guy in my room.” Students learned to live with the fact that life in a residence hall meant life with rules. Hall rules were just one of the small irritations students learned to cope with upon moving in. (REB, ALM) Doing the red tape tango It’s 8:10 on a warm September mor- ning.

In September, as at the beginning of each quarter, the Administration Building sported more lines than graph paper and became the center of a red- tape whirlwind.

(JAG) procedure, the process of finding stu- dent employment was even more com- plicated than usual this year. First, a suitable job had to be selected from the bulletin board in the Office of Student Financial Aid. Next, an application for employment and the necessary tax forms had to be filled out. Finally came appointments with financial aids office personnel, at which time eligible students were given introduction cards. Only after the all-too-sacred in- troduction cards were secured could students actually go to employers to ask about a job. For employers, especially those that hired a number of students, the process was equally complicated. A complete listing of available jobs and _ their descriptions had to be posted with the financial aids office. All students who inquired about jobs had to ask for their introduction cards. Those who didn’t have one had to be sent to financial aids to get one. When students were hired, their introduction cards had to be attached to a student employment authorization form, which was to be sent to the financial aids office before the student could go on to payroll. At the same time, employers had to keep the financial aids office posted as to what vacancies were filled so that job descriptions could be removed from the office’s bulletin board. Once lines shortened outside the Financial Aids Of- fice, tax forms and employee introduction cards were filled out. Those who sweated out the lines usually found a job on campus or nearby. (CSK) “It was really a confusing situation that was abetted by an overwhelming lack of communication,” said one stu- dent employer who wished to remain unidentified. “The new employment procedure was outlined in a handbook which we didn't receive until we were well into the employment process. “After spending the summer hiring a large number of students, we had to send them all to financial aids to get introduction cards after they arrived in September. Many of them couldn't get their checks for the first pay period because they were not able to schedule appointments in time,” he added. Jeff Franz, a Centerville, Ohio sophomore, found brazenness to be the best policy. Moving in did not seem half bad when compared to the lines of people in the Financial Aids Office.

I just got real mad and said that I wasn't leaving without an introduction card. They gave me one.” Often the next step for employed students was to adjust their class schedules to fit around their jobs. This, combined with an increase in the number of canceled classes, created havoc in the Ad Building’s cavernous room 6. The computer room’s ter- minals, operated so deftly by the women of the office, put students into a panic when the machines informed them that the classes they wanted were unavailable. Another hassle arose over ID’s. Students carrie d validation stickers without the plastic ID cards until late in autumn quarter. This resulted from a delay in the return of the cards to the university after photo processing. “Most places accepted the stickers without the picture identification,” stated Beverly Hildreth, an employee of the Registrar’s office.

Still, he heard a few complaints from students, mainly over high prices. He explained that the publishers set the prices, not the CBX.

Another difficulty Schaffner faced was not getting books and supplies in on time. Eight hundred students in a basic economics class were surprised when neither bookstore had the re- quired text. Sue Dytmire, charge desk clerk at the Ball State Bookstore, agreed the students disliked the high prices. “T think it’s unfair when only one publisher sells the book a student needs,” she said. “With a competitive market, the student might have a bet- ter chance to get the same book at a lower price.” To alleviate the problem of rising prices, Johnson Complex held a campus-wide used book exchange. “The book sale was not established to make money,” said David Lilly, chairman. “It was held to help any stu- dent buy or sell books.” And when the buying and selling was all over, badgered bookstore employees and students alike breathed sighs of relief.

Celebrated Vincennes comedian Red Skelton arrived several days early and familiarized himself with the cam- pus and students, popping up in classes and in the Student Center. While Skelton made new friends and greeted old admirers, the general campus at- mosphere reeked of parties. Old movies and kickoff games filled the hours.

Ironically, that contest came during the Redbirds’ homecoming at Normal, Ill. The Cardinals, their 1977 record a disappointing 2-2, wanted to return the favor and regain their winning form. However, it seemed as if the fans were the ones out for revenge, and, when fullback Gary Acklin plunged from the three into the end zone with :20 remaining in the first period, con- fetti and Charmin toilet paper rolls streamed into the sky. MAC flags whipped briskly in the wind as the band played the school fight song. Although no one seemed to know the words, fans clapped and sang, “Ball State, Ball State, Ball State.” After that initial score, however, the Redbirds proved surprisingly tough, and at halftime the score stood only at 7-3.

At game's end, wet and, more often than not, slightly intoxicated fans left satisfied with what was to prove vic- tory number two in an eight-game winning streak to season’s end. Later in the evening, students and alumni went to see the man who had captivated Ball State all week. Emens Auditorium sold out two Saturday shows and an extra show on Sunday. Red Skelton treated ticket-buyers to three witty shows, a touch of his warm personal philosophy, and that Skelton brand of humor that had the audience roaring with laughter. Skelton on Muncie: “Muncie’s a beautiful city, if they ever get it fin- ished.” Skelton on Ball State food: “I had a tuna fish sandwich before the show. I think they finally accepted Charlie.” Remarks like these made rib cages ache and tears flow. Skelton, who also joined in the laughter, wore a constant smile from the minute he stepped on stage until he took his final bow. “I don’t know why I’m laughing,” he quipped. “I’ve already heard these.” So had almost everyone else who was fortunate enough to get tickets for the shows. Most of the routines, pan- tomimes, and one-liners Skelton used in the show came from 20 years of television material. But it didn’t mat- ter; people came to see Red Skelton; they laughed at “Gertrude and Heathcliff” and “Freddie the Freeloader’ as if they were hearing the routines for the first time.

Srane activities and stranger sights dominated the week of October 24-28. “Bride” Alice Mathena and “Groom” Bruce Wolfschlag, sophomores from Greencastle and Madison, respectively, haunted the scramble light and begged change. “Peanut Butter and Jelly” hung around campus, and, though Halloween was near, these were not trick-or-treaters. They were Chesters for the annual Campus Chest fund-raising project. This year’s theme, “Together we can make it happen,” was the basis for costume ideas. Newlyweds Mathena, ATO Li1 Sis, and Wolfschlag, ATO, were selected by the student body as the most popular chesters. They collected $70.59 in penny voting to win the award for collecting the most money. “Most people thought it was a cute way to raise money, but some people really hassled us,’ commented Wolfschlag. Chesters were not the only ones in- volved in raising money for the variety of charitable causes. Residence halls sponsored all sorts of activities ranging from panty auctions to pesky penny- per-minute jails to back-rubbing marathons. Single hall trophy winners found Hurlbut collecting $237.69 for first place. Hurst Mysch nabbed the trophy for the combined halls division. A Greek auction, in which all frater- nities and sororities participated, took place Tuesday night in the Student Center. Greeks auctioned off parties and dances to the highest bidders. Alpha Phi led auctioners with $231 collected, and SAE _ contributed $217.50. Spirit awards went to Alpha Phi and ATO. Faculty members also fired up and donated to Campus Chest. Breakfast for four with Dr. and Mrs. Pruis and a luncheon date for two at the Cork and Cleaver with Coach and Mrs. Dave McClain were two of the most popular items auctioned off. Ed Bertholet, Valparaiso sophomore, bought the breakfast at the Pruis residence. “Four of us went one Sunday mor- 50 Living x Fall Events ing,” he stated. “It was an absolute riot.

The most memorable moment came when Schoelkopt passed out the checks to the various organizations.

As crazy as the scramble may sound, it was all in fun and for a worthwhile cause: to raise money for Wallace Village. Derby Week is sponsored an- nually by the Sigma Chi fraternity to raise funds for the Colorado school for children with brain damage. This year marked the reinstatement of the Derby Scramble after the event was dropped several years ago due to its chronic habit of “getting out of hand.” To maintain some semblance of order, rules were set and boundaries were drawn on the Arts Terrace. To lend a sense of austerity, the Sigma Chi’s performed mock warm-up exer- cises and sang the National Anthem. When the signal was given, the girls went after the men’s derbies.

This event, the Center’s eleventh annual Folk Festival, was somewhat less frenetic than those activities taking place simultaneously a few blocks down Riverside. The Folk Fest drew a mellower brand of weekend reveler, Muncie residents who support the Center and students for whom the weekend is a _ time to toss books aside and throw on the oldest pair of jeans in the closet. Everything about the festival, from the rustic wooden fence and _ hanging leaves that served as mood-setting decorations to the cold cider and doughnuts, reflected the festival’s theme, “Peaceful, Easy Feeling.” Audience members laughed to the comical quips of Joe Sherman, clapped to the foot-stomping numbers of Lee Lewellyn, and quietly drew into the powerful lyrics of Tony Huffer and Brad Barnhart. Musicians such as Sharon Finkle and Ray Boltz provided not only original compositions but familiar crowd pleasers as well. Donned in overalls and a flannel shirt, philosophy professor and blueg rass champion Tom Spencer entertained with early 60’s bluegrass and comical anecdotes. And, as usual, veteran Folk Fest per- former Barb Bell just couldn’t seem to make it offstage; the audience simply kept asking for more, finally receiving an encore of Look What They've Done to My Song. The overall highlight of the show, however, was not the usual redneck bluegrass or the mellow daydreaming music.

All across campus, goblins were ghostly, clowns were clowning, and nuns were naughty. Halloween 1977 wasn’t just another rainy night in Muncie; it was a time to let loose those childhood fantasies and canvas for munchies. Many residence halls featured haunted houses. Students made up acts and presented their versions of Frankenstein’s monster, the Wolfman, and other eerie creatures from our celluloid past. Indianapolis freshman Mike Hausz commented, “I felt that Clevenger’s haunted house was for a beneficial cause (Campus Chest) and really enjoyed working on it.” Most of the fraternities and sororities supported the cause with parties and dances. Jon Peckinpaugh, Sulphur Spring freshman, entranced his brothers at Delta Chi by dressing as a voluptuous woman. Back in the streets, the Coneheads played. Amy Schlotman, Crawfordsville sophomore, was one of the throng that chose the Saturday Night special. “It was really a blast to be a Conehead,” she said. “It was wild to watch people’s reaction and also to meet all the other Coneheads across campus.” (DJB, ALM) Halloween night was a lot like Saturday Night Live, as students traded jeans for tin foil and coat-hanger clothes.

Last-minute confusion reigned as local artists withdrew from the craft show held in conjunction with the festival. Schedule changes became commonplace as musicians called up to cancel for various reasons. Publicity was a problem as advertising banners fell apart in the rain, and designing an ad for the Daily News proved more complicated than chairperson Helen Cross, Brownsburg senior, expected. The festival accomplished its main purpose, however, by drawing students away from the threat of im- pending finals and into the confines of a close, backyard atmosphere.

When both these efforts failed to bring about a response from university officials, Stu- dent Senator Sandy Schwier, Greensburg sophomore, organized a study-in at the library November 13, the eve of exam week. The study-in, far from radical, was supported by an_ estimated 450 students who remained in the building far into the early Monday morning hours. Schwier and Student Senator Sue Clark, South Bend junior, said of the study-in, “This is a ball of immense proportions that will continue to grow and show the administration we care.” With exams at hand and Thanksgiv- ing break just around the corner, however, the controversy lapsed—but only temporarily. Suddenly the quarter ended. The leaves had turned into magnificent bursts of color and were now dying. Students were hit with the stark realities of finals week and bottomless cups of coffee. For some, the ritual of late-night cramming was an entirely new experience. For others, it marked a sort of unofficial beginning of the new school year as unused texts were pulled from shelves and dusted off. Even those who spent fall quarter judiciously studying weekly assignments, the weekends were still made for Michelob. Despite the con- troversies, students lived up to the traditions of college life: drinking beer and keeping late hours. Despite the often maligned fee increase, students managed to pump more money into charitable organizations than ever before.

Far removed from the small town, Indiana streets of home, many students encountered segments of society for the first time in their lives. This could be a . shattering experience, one that altered conceptions of reality and debunked long- held value systems. Gays, minorities, and the handicapped were people one did not think about. Now—suddenly thrown into an environment where gays, minorities, and the handicapped were not only present, but outspoken—students found themselves forced to deal with the reality of diverse lifestyles. Some even tried to understand them, and this could be an education far more important than what could be taught from a textbook. The following pages—beginning with freshmen because they were, after all, the “inductees” into the mini-society that inhabited Ball State—deal with the above- mentioned and other segments of society. Some were quiet and typical; others were outspoken and atypical. Some were carbon copies of the folks back home; others were not.

All at once it was life without Mom and Dad—no one to wash those jeans for Friday night; no one from whom to borrow car keys for that special date. Freshmen suddenly found they had to fend for themselves in emergencies and adapt to a variety of new situations. “It’s different routine and you have to do things at certain times,” said Muncie freshman Melinda Guffey. “You have to eat at a certain time and sign up for things at a certain time.” Perhaps the most difficult initial adjustment involved is getting used to roommates. “What do you mean I'll have to find somewhere to sleep on weekends?” was a common freshman response to the first words spoken to them by upper-class roommates. “The main thing was getting along, to adjust with peo- ple, and the different kinds of people around you,” said Lacrosse freshman Tom Lawrence. Residence halls attemped to make the earliest ad- justments as easy as possible for freshmen by holding hall get-togethers in lounges during the first few days of school. The get-togethers, while usually boring, at least provided an opportunity to meet new people and share common ex- periences. “I had to get used to the noise because there's no really quiet place anywhere,” said Martinsville freshman Diana Messmer. “The food’s different, too.” Before the frats opened their houses to swallow up the new crop on campus, organizations held a special activities night on Friday to display their wares. While the undaring remained secure with pizza in dorm rooms, the inquisitive 58 Living x Lifestyles donned rain gear and hiked to the Student Center to hear the various organiza- tions give their pitches. “It’s a great turnout tonight, and we've had a big response to rush,” said Panhellic Council President Lisa Hayne as she distributed complimentary pencils and urged students to “go Greek.” Sponsored by the Student Center Governing Board, the annual information night presented matriculates an op- portunity to discover what. means of involvement were available on campus. “I talked to a guy about transcendental meditation and even found a judo group,” said Sellerburg freshman Sally Heilman as she explored the opportunities open to her. “There’s just so much to do if you want to get involved.” Another program aimed at dispelling some of the fog which engulfed new freshmen was a series of workshops sponsored by freshman honorary, Alpha Lambda. The workshops centered around mundane, yet sometimes con- fusing topics such as planning schedules, getting acquainted with Bracken Library, budgeting time and money, study- ing efficiently, and taking notes. Included was a session on getting along with roommates, one of the more significant adjustments many freshman have to make. As the year progressed, freshmen found different ways to adjust to college life, but it wasn’t always easy. Rich DiRen- zo, freshman from Vineland, New Jersey, said that weekends especially tended to be boring; most everyone packed up and headed home. There were times when he felt like buying a plane ticket and heading home himself, but instead watched television or wrote letters. “T would usually sit down, sleep, and try to get my mind off of it,” DiRenzo said. “I’ve learned not to let little things Sometimes freshmen’s only contact with home was through an often-empty mailbox.

I’ve learned to study better—it was either do it or die.” Regardless of the adjustments freshmen made during their first year at college, for some the only links with home were a few familiar hometown faces, occasional letters in the all-too-often empty mailbox, or student billing number long distance calls—and long distance wasn't always the next best thing to being there. Learning to handle the red tape and the dorm food and facing a year without Mom and Dad could be tough indeed. (DCD, JEG, JAP) campus.

Cheryl Stewig, Columbus senior, lived two lifestyles. As an able-bodied person engaged to be married to a paraplegic, she sometimes felt a part of two different worlds. “In my life there is a great carry-over between the two lifestyles,” she said. “I have become so conscious of whether or not a place is accessable to the handicapped.” Stewig said the handicapped “are the last minority—just now beginning to be recognized,” and termed social awareness by A.B.’s “the key to acceptance.” Rich Harris, Director of Orientation and Handicapped Services, called Ball State “far above” all other Indiana schools in serving the handicapped college student. Harris worked with Disabled Students in Action. There were 26 severly handicapped students on campus and Harris felt Ball State offered “good solid accessability” and that is why many chose Muncie as their college home. “Curb ramps were our basic priority,” he commented. Being confined to wheelchairs made helping each other out a large part of the lifestyles of roommates Susan Morse and Sharon McFadden.

In the minority were a few who always desired to storm the Ad Building, but the library study-in was about as radical as students got all year. Recognized as the most populous minority were the blacks. Roughly 700 in number, blacks considered themselves the largest minority on campus and formed the Black Student Association to provide unity and guidance for all of its members. Black Student Association president Paul Barrett made a statement calling for campus-wide unity, a plea that seemed to ask for “brotherhood” and “to- getherness,” so real a dream during the years Martin Luther King and blacks across the nation were uniting. Some blacks, however, did not see themselves as a minority. “T think that it depends on how you see yourself,” Elighie Wilson, Markham, Illinois sophomore, said. “I see myself as an individual—not as a minority. If you want to get out and do something, you can do it.” perceptions of Though most saw prejudice and discrimination on campus as a relatively minor occurrence, very definite color lines did in fact exist. Though black sororities, such as Delta Sigma Theta, did not actively try to discourage whites at rush functions, few whites joined black sororities or fraternities or vice-versa. (SWC) Wilson said a lot of what is thought of as discrimination is actually a lack of respect, or misunderstanding. “It’s a mat- ter of how you present yourself,” he explained. The main form of discrimination Wilson discovered on campus was within the Greek system, although he said he liked the fraternities and had many friends in them. “T don’t see (personal) prejudice here,” Wilson said. “It’s mainly social.” Blacks seldom ran into problems dealing with the univer- sity. Occasionally, however, they were affected in par- ticipating in campus activities, in dealing with prejudiced professors, and even while relaxing or being oneself as well as dealing with interracial dating, which did exist. To give the black female population a better scholarship African folk tales and the cries of blacks through the 60s to the 70s were retold to an Emens Auditorium crowd by the husband and wife team Ozzie Davis and Ruby Dee February 1.

Wilson ex- plained that without the separate beauty and scholarship competition, the black girl would probably have little chance of receiving the rewards offered in the all-campus contest. Susie Falkner, Fort Wayne junior, felt black events—like the beauty pageant—were discriminated against in the form of publicity. “As far as publicity, as far as space in the Daily News, we're not recognized as other organizations are,” Falkner explained. She also complained of lack of representation in the yearbook and other campus publications. “T don’t feel blacks and whites are unified at all,” Falkner suggested. She mentioned that the only interaction between the races took the form of personal friendships—not ac- tivities and lifestyles. How many whites attended Jabber- wock, she asked. Very few.

He said when a homosexual tells people he is gay, they don’t think it’s that unusual. “Thanks to Anita (Bryant), people are not naive anymore.” Although homosexuality flourished at a number of other colleges throughout the country, the gay community saw Ball State as a closet campus. Unlike openly active gays at other large universities, the BSU gay community struggled with the process of becoming more open. “Coming out,” admitting to themselves they are homosexual, is the first big step for most gays. “The major part of coming out is accepting what will happen to you in society,” one student said. Moving into the college society posed varied experiences. For those who lived in a dorm, resident reactions varied. Cynthia and Kathe found that living in Knotts Hall for three years was relatively problem free. They said if anyone suspected a homosexual relationship, no one confronted them about it. Donna and Anita, however, found that living in Crosley Hall posed quite a few problems and confrontations. Because Donna seemed basically a loner, Anita befriend- ed her through involvement in dorm activities. The friend- ship grew without either one expecting a sexual relation- ship. However, Anita suspected that Donna was a lesbian. Problems began when Donna publicly announced her homosexuality at a GAU dorm speaking engagement; angry Coming out on a closet campus was not without its consequences for gay activist, Anita. After coming to the defense of a lesbian friend and revealing her own homosexuality, she had to hire a lawyer to obtain university housing. (WEV) You don’t have to flaunt it ts (Gre existed in virtually every lifestyle on campus. Fraternities, sororities, dorms, athletic teams, and other campus organizations were not exempt from homosexuals. The majority of these individuals, however, were not members of the Gay Activist Union (GAU); they were what homosexuals refer to as “closet cases.” “They're people still a part of the invisible minority,” Terry, a gay not affiliated with the GAU, explained. They led perfectly normal, active lives—heterosexual in all respects— except sexual preferences. Their friends and families usually regarded them as straight (heterosexual). and they may have had several com- panions of the opposite sex. Once away from their normal, everyday roles, however, they were members of the homosexual society. “Many of your campus leaders are gay, Terry said. He explained that they tried to excel in their areas of Living xx Lifestyles interest because of a compensation mechanism developed out of their sexual preferences. Terry, an active fraternity brother, did not support the GAU. “I don’t know any goals in the organization to help anyone. They haven't had anything constructive,” he said. He added that he had unsuccessfully tried to bring about changes in the GAU. “They won't bend,” he said. “My ideas as opposed to (those of) the GAU is that you don’t have to be visible to be happy with yourself,” Terry continued. He explained that gays should not necessarily have to flaunt their sexuality in order to be satisfied with their lives. “Your sexuality is your own business,” he said. To help students who were just becoming aware of their sexuality and who had little or no contact with the GAU, Terry conducted a weekly discussion group on campus during spring quarter. Unlike the more visible GAU, the group met in private rooms rather than in the Student Center. Members of the group, most who had not met each other previously, worked with the book, Loving Someone Gay. The book explained how to cope with homosexuality. “The object of the group is not for members to meet each other and fall in love,” Terry said, but added that this was a possibility. He explained that the discussions were geared to help the members understand their own sexuality as well as the sexuality of others. For instance, members studied the levels of effeminity and masculinity of both gays and straights. Terry, a masculine gay, said he feels perfectly content with his sexuality and associated with both homosexuals and heterosexuals. “Before you can teach people, you have to be confident about your own lifestyle,” he said.

Following the speaking engagement, rumors started of “two queers who had raped three girls from Rogers.” Anita had problems with the Housing Office, which told her she would have to move out because no one would room with her. She said that, at that time, 18 homosexuals lived in Crosley. “I was told I created an atmosphere impossible to live in,’ Anita said. However, after taking her situation to a lawyer, the threat of eviction was dropped. Situations like this could be avoided by remaining in the closet. Such was the case of a former Shales Hall resident who said he did not run into any problems in the hall because he told only his closest friends about his homosex- uality. “Last year I faked my way through, and this year is no different,” he explained. For Cynthia and Kathe, who moved out of the dorm into an apartment, the homosexual way of living was, in many respects, the same as a heterosexual lifestyle. They explain- ed that household responsibilities were shared—much like any other living situations where two straights room together. With Anita Bryant’s crusade against open homosexuality and several highly-publicized referendums on homosexual rights, 1978 was a crucial year for gays throughout the country as well as at Ball State. If the battles accomplished anything, they did open people’s eyes to the fact that homosexuality did exist. Whether or not it existed as a viable alternative lifestyle, however, was something to be left to the future. At Ball State, the controversy over gay rights encouraged some gays to speak out—many for the first time. “The important thing for any child to learn is to love peo- ple,” said Donna. “I am more open to love all people.” “The only difference between a heterosexual and a homosexual is who the person is you choose to have sex with—who you choose to love,” Kevin agreed. Many didn't agree. (JEG, MDW) Diverse alternatives helping to dispel stereotyped Greek image ST here are too many negative feelings directed toward Greeks on this campus,” said Delta Chi house resident and Kokomo junior Scott Killings. “Something should be done to make people more aware of the whole Greek system.

Pledges were allowed to live in some of the houses, but other fraternities only admitted active members, refusing pledges primarily because of a lack of space. Delta Tau Delta pledge Tim Lucero, Renssalaer junior, lived in the house and termed it “fantastic.” “It’s more adult and I wish all pledges could live in the house. You get to know the brothers so much better and get in on those little crazy things that dorm pledges miss. It’s a lot cheaper in the house, too.

(CAS) said. “Our housemother, ‘Mom T,’ and the little sis’s help us with the moneymak- ing projects, improving the house, and they sometimes type papers for us.” Indianapolis sophomore Sigma Chi active Don Hester said, “Living in a frat house, you're on your own, exposed to more people, and grow up a lot quicker.” Theta Xi active and New Haven freshman Mike DeMarco said, “I still have my friends from Burkhardt (Hall) where I lived last year. Sometimes I go back to the dorm and visit three or four close friends, and sometimes they come down to the house. I don’t feel cut off at all from the dorm by liv- ing in the house.” Normally two or three of the brothers shared living quarters with the rooms being distributed on a seniority or priority basis. Alpha Tau Omega housed up to 10 guys whereas a larger fraternity such as Sigma Chi housed 52 or more brothers at a time. Although each brother was responsible for keeping his own room clean, many of the houses had Saturday morning work sessions where the actives and pledges com- bined efforts to clean and repair the house, both inside and out. Domino's and other pizza outlets had steady customers at most of the houses, although dinner was provid- ed by hired cooks in some of the fraternities. Brothers in each frater- nity relinquished the privilege of fending for themselves and some elected to eat in a nearby dorm with Homosexuals, Greeks x: Lifestyles 63 a regular meal ticket. Unlike the fraternities, sororities did not have houses. However, the general opinion of sorority sisters was that the dorm suites were adequate, the only drawback perhaps be- ing the lack of space. “T enjoy the suite, but houses would be neat,” said junior Pam Rohner, a Delta Zeta active from Chicago. “I went to visit some friends at Northwestern University, and they had a house. The major difference is that you get to be much closer in a house and get to know your sisters better. But you also have to be more careful, and there are a lot of con- flicts. An advantage to the suites is that you also have your friends from the dorm as well as your sorority and other Greek friends.” Senior speech major from Carmel, Beth Robbins, stated, “I enjoy the suites, but I think there needs to be more dorm sorority relations and more interaction between Fraternity meant brotherhood and fun for residents of the houses along Riverside Avenue.

An off-campus November Christmas Dance and a spring closed dance were two major planned social events common to most frater- nities. A sorority pledge dance in the fall usually substituted for the fraternity Christmas function.

(CAS) A mom to come home to At 73 years of age, she’s a cheery, peppery little bundle whom 55 young men call “Mom.” Her real name is Martha Kinder, and she has served as supervisor, cheerleader, and surrogate mother for the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity for the past 14 years. Mrs. Kinder left a position as dorm director at Ohio Wesleyan in 1963 to take her housemother job at the Sig Ep house. She returned to her hometown Muncie to be closer to her family and because of the intrigue the position of housemother offered. “IT wanted to come back to Mun- cie, and this job is certainly more fun than a dorm director. Something unusual or funny happens every day,” Mrs. Kinder remarked. On the surface, it appears “Mom” Kinder has a pretty soft job. “We have a woman who does all the cooking, and I keep my room clean. Other than that, the boys do all the work,” she said. “They do the dishes and clean up the kitchen. They are also responsible for keeping their rooms and the rest of the house clean.” But, in reality, her job isn’t quite that simple. “The boys think I can do any- thing,” she said. “There have been times when I’ve been awakened at night to call the doctor when someone’s sick or hurt.” And, of course, there’s the usual amount of problem solving that comes when 55 boys share the same house. “If they have a problem, they know they can come in and talk to me,” Mrs. Kinder said. Things seldom get out of hand at the house. Most problems are handled by the fraternity president. But when he can’t handle them, Mrs. Kinder is there to step in. “I don’t yell much,” she said, “but the boys know I have a temper.” One incident that stands out in her mind happened a few years ago. “One night we came home from a dance and there were some men with chains on the porch, wanting to start a fight. I just told them to get off my property, and they did.” In her 14 years as housemother, Mrs. Kinder has seen a lot of changes. “When I first came to Ball State, everything was a lot more formal,” she said. “The boys always dressed up for supper. Now I'm lucky to get them to wear shoes and a shirt.” But the informality has added to her accessibility in the house. The boys walk in and out of Mrs. Kinder’s room freely, whether to ask for change, drop off some mending they might have, or simply shoot the Sigma Phi Epsilon house residents, for whom Mrs. Kinder has been caring the past 14 years, always found her door open.

Although Mrs. Kinder’s role is primarily to be helpful, her success in fulfilling that role is perhaps best explained by her attitude toward her boys. “When a boy first comes to the house, I always try to find something about that boy that I like.” It’s an approach that almost always breaks the ice. (JAP, SES) Greeks, House Mothers x: Lifestyles 65 7 a . %y, _SRROSTD EET NOE | | Shively smorgasbord: lifestyles to absorb in 12 easy languages L iving at Ball State, for most students, meant a home several hours away from their family. But Shively Hall, in LaFollette Complex, was a different world, an island of international customs, languages, and philosophies. Thrown together from all over the world, living together as a unit with graduate students from Taegu, Korea; Shahsauar, Iran; Moshi, Tanzania; and Elmsford, New York, virtually the entire globe was spread over nine floors of a dormitory. As the university's only graduate hall, Shively housed 200 students, 58 of them from foreign countries. Answering questions concerning life as foreign graduate students on campus, Shively residents, quickly dispelled the “camel jockey” image given them by misinformed students. The Shively resident was a member of a singular and exclusive breed on campus, for it was unlike any other residence hall. The atmosphere in Shively was one of quiet isolation; residents had little contact with people outside the hall, except for occasional weekend parties thrown by graduates living off-campus. The difference between Shively and the other LaFollette halls became immediately clear to visitors. How many other halls had maps covering the walls of the main lobby? Where else on campus could one find an Iranian and a Korean discussing which toppings to order on their pizza? Shively residents were different, but perhaps for them, different was better. Andrew Weis, graduate student from New York, remarked, “When I first came to Ball State, I moved into Shively because it was the only graduate hall. I moved in here with the intention of moving out as soon as I could find an apartment. But then, I met all these people, all these students from other countries, and they really made the difference for me. They were the reason I decided not to leave Shively.” What motivated a young person living overseas to leave 66 Living Lifestyles home and come to America, to Ball State, for an edu- cation? In-sook Nahm, gra- duate student from Korea, said, “Women in my country are discriminated against. The only way I can survive in their society is to learn more. It is very hard for women in Korea. I don't want to be a women’s libber, but I don’t want to be discriminated against either.” The man who was more knowledgeable about Shively and it’s residents than anyone else on campus was the hall’s director, Joseph Mumpower. Mumpower, a hall director on campus for 17 years and Shively’s director for the last six years, explained the difference between students in an undergraduate hall and students in Shively. “You find A popular gathering place for international students was the Student Center. Kazan Zolfaghari, Iran, finds relaxation and conversation at the Tally-Ho. (WEV) adults living here. You don’t have to worry about discipline. Everyone, for the most part, takes care of his own responsibilities, whereas, in an undergraduate dorm, you find a lot of immaturity.” Mumpower added, “You have an atmosphere here that is a lot like the United Nations.” “Have you noticed how students from Shively eat? Mumpower asked. “If you observed the students from Shively, they take twice as long eating meals as an undergraduate will. This is because graduates converse and communicate much more deeply than they would in an undergraduate dorm, where talk is centered around sex and what is happening on campus.” Vacations and breaks presented a special problem for Shively residents. The hall was left open during all breaks and vacations, including summer, but for some of the foreign students, what to do over break could be a puzzling question. Some Shively residents like Nahm toured the United States visiting friends on other campuses, or friends who lived in other areas of the country. Residents probably spent as much money traveling around the country as they would living in the hall during the break. Weis said of the foreign students, “They've probably seen more of America than I have.” For students like John Sagula, graduate student from Tanzania, vacations were a lonely experience. “Everyone was gone,’ Sagula complained. “You couldn't get in anywhere without a key. You had to fix your own meals, and what to cook was a problem. And all the workers on campus looked at you funny because you were still here during break.” The International House played a major role in the life of the foreign student. Weis elaborated for the foreign students, “The International House really represents International Students xx Lifestyles everything to them here at Ball State. They go over admission policies, and check credentials for verification of grades and aptitude levels. They set them up with host families in town, and handle their housing. They play a very important role in the international student’s life here on campus.” Students often found themselves discussing the current international political situation over the dinner table. When asked whether disagreements ever occured, Mumpower answered for the residents. “You'll hear much more criticism here in Shively than you will back home. If you criticize a head of state back home, then you'll get your neck cut off or you'll be put in jail or you'll be a political prisoner,” Mumpower said. “In America, we take our freedom for granted and we can Challenges of marriage: work classes, spouse—in that order . “N:' tonight dear, I have a | a midterm.” a The lifestyle of a married couple alternated occa- sionally with studies —especially if one partner wanted to chug a few beers at the Pub and the other had a Marketing 483 midterm the next day. “T really think that a mar- ried student has it harder,” Judy Haviland, a senior social work major, said, “and professors don’t realize this.” Being married and going to school usually required both husband and wife to assume the role of bread- winners. This left little time for campus social activities, the family, or for studying. “The studies pretty well get pushed to the side—if we want to eat,” Judy, the wife of an anthropology and history major for more than four and a half years, said. Judy explained that with the work and study situation there were quarters when she hardly saw her husband, Pete. “When you work and go to school, you don’t have time for each other,” she said. “We leave each other notes.” For Ric and Jeanne Birch, October 1977 newlyweds, the absence of one or the other in their Scheidler apartment was a major adjustment. “At my house (before getting married) there was my mom, my dad, and my grandmother, and here sometimes 68 Living x Lifestyles criticize everyone from Idi Amin to the Shah of Iran for their different practices.” Shively residents, in many respects, were much like undergraduate students. Shively residents underwent orientation, ate the same dorm food, walked the same amount of distance to classes, and experienced same the day-to-day hassles as everyone else. Even so, they were different. For one thing they studied more. As Simin Lahrasbi, graduate student from Iran, said, “Anytime I can get away from the books for any reason, I consider it as rest.” It was a fact. Shively was different, different in atmosphere, character, and social functions. But as Simin Lahrasbi said, “We're just happy to be here.” Perhaps different is better.(RLA) _ para emtpimenreneibainaraiaatastatiN ene Scheidler offered nice, inexpensive housing to married students, but furnishings had to be found. Doug and Julie Latina get a little help from their friends (MJI) there’s just my plants, the stereo, and plenty of house clean- ing,” Jeanne, a former resident of Elkhart, said. Ric entered the situation with a different perspective. “It was really different because over there (in the dorm) I was so close to the classes and there were so many people,” Ric, a former Hurst Hall resident, said. “Now, I have to ride a Seal of approval It was an almost mystical event. No one could explain its origin or purpose, yet, for many girls, candle passing was an essential part of being “attached.” “Tell me why the ivy twines, tell me why the stars do shine...” went the incantation. Anticipation and off-key harmony filled the darkened study lounge as a circle of reverent girls passed a candle from hand to ‘hand. The coeds eyed one another suspiciously, wondering who the “lucky girl” was. The tension came to a climax when one girl quickly extinguished the candle flame. The lights in the study lounge flickered on, and, following congratulatory hugs and kisses, the “lucky girl” was promptly transported to the showers for a fully-clothed dousing. Candle passing is a popular tradition for girls living in dorms as well as sorority girls. The candle was passed around the circle a certain number of times determined by the status attained by the girl. One passing was for friendship, two for lavaliered, three for being pinned, and four for becoming engaged. bus.” However inconvenient in some respects, the Birch’s saw advantages to being married while going to school. When living in a dorm, Ric paid $136 a month to share a room and to eat in the cafeteria, but living in their five-room “married housing” apartment, he and his wife shared less than $136 a month in rent—all utilities paid. “This couldn’t be a permanent home, but it’s good for now, Ric, a freshman from Ligonier, said. Bertha, a six-foot wide, four-foot tall plant, occupied a corner of the Birch living room, elegantly decorated in dominant orange. With the proper ingredients, an orange couch, orange chair, black wicker chair, and a hanging wicker-shade lamp, the room held the atmosphere of a cozy home. Orange shag carpet, walnut wood end tables, a television, and a stereo as well as dozens of plants and wall hangings added to the atmosphere. “Right now it’s perfect,” Jeanne said of the two bedroom townhouse. “What would we do with extra room?” After the Birch’s moved into their home, the household chores were totally shared, according to Jeanne. “Two are working, two people live here, so we share the work,” Jeanne, a waitress at Wendy’s and Siciliano’s, explained. One of their shared chores, the laundry, had the Birch’s in the laundromat on Christmas Eve. After the last load of clothes had been folded, they headed for Jeanne’s parents’ home in Elkhart and arrived at three in the morning. Ric When the candle reached the girl being honored, she blew out the flame and smilingly displayed a ring or other such symbol. Like being kissed under Benny, candle passing put a special Ball State “seal of approval” on a relationship. (CMB, JAP) Recently-engaged Teresa Souder blows out a candle passed by Sharon Allen dur- ing a Schmidt candle passing. (WEV) and Jeanne explained that such expeditions were common occurrences for them. “We're married but we still date (each other),” Ric said, explaining that they went to see more movies after getting married than before. “We still buy each other gifts,” Jeanne said, mentioning clothes and jewelry as the main presents. The Birch’s arranged their daily schedules to allow for time to spend together. Ric attended classes in the mornings and worked at the Western Sizzlin restaurant in the afternoons. Jeanne, a non-student, worked during the day, which allowed time for the two of them in the evenings. Besides listening to the stereo, house cleaning, and occasionally socializing with friends, Jeanne sometimes helped Ric with his studies. “I’m usually a menace when he’s studying,” Jeanne said. She usually worked on some embroidering while Ric studied, and invariably she would talked while she worked. When this happened, the tone of voice of Ric’s voice had a way of reminding her that making conversation with her would not put him through school any faster, Jeanne said. Jeanne and Ric said they rarely felt bored or had nothing to do. On weekends, they would work all Saturday and try to sleep in on Sunday. “We go out a lot,” Jeanne said. “At least once a week someone comes over,” Ric added. Although both of the Birch’s worked in restaurants, they listed eating as one of their major pastimes. In fact, their International Students, Married Students, Candle Passings x: Lifestyles 69 closet tended to smell like a kitchen. “We put our uniforms in the closet and they smell like hamburger, pizza, and steak,” Jeanne explained. One of the luxuries of home the Birch’s missed was having pets, which were disallowed in Scheidler. “You get so used to having them around,” Jeanne said, adding that her poodle in Elkhart was really glad to see her at Christmas. In contrast to the Birch’s, the Havilands lived in an apartment duplex on Bethel Pike where pets were permitted. Judy and Pete shared their home with six cats: Gus, Maggie, Jennifer, Jerome, Ivan, and Little Kit. “They're all strays,” Judy said. Although feeding six strays was not as expensive as providing for six children, the weekly costs added up. With utilities, two cars, rent, and food, the Havilands found living married is more expensive than living single. However, they saved enough money to travel to Europe during the summer of 1974 and to Central America the summer of 1977. “It’s really not that expensive,” Judy said. Despite the costs of maintaining a home and the often conflicting work schedules, marriage could be a fulfilling lifestyle for college students. What was an advantage to the Birch’s may have been a disadvantage to the Havilands, the Jones’s, the Smiths, or the Millers. But to almost all married couples working toward degrees, the books occasionally put a damper on the relationship: “Not tonight dear, I have a midterm.” (JEG) TV provides more than relaxing moments together for Scheidler residents Debbie and Jim Wainscott. It also helps drown out the noise from next door. “The walls are so thin here you can hear everything the neighbors do,” said Debbie. (CAS) Uncle Sam foots the bill 70 Bight years later, the Vietnam veteran was still one of the most neglected survivors of any war, and movies like Coming Home presented horrendous pictures of the darker side of being a war veteran. Yet the majority of Ball State’s approximately 1,000 veteran students did not serve in Vietnam. They were members of the new breed of veteran; most had joined the service at or near the war's end, and most had enlisted voluntarily in order to take advantage of the GI Bill. “You've got to remember, the economy was in pretty bad shape in ‘71,” said Dave Massy a Brownsburg senior who worked for the campus’ Veterans Administration office. “A lot of guys couldn’t afford to go to school right then.” Wabash junior Lee Denny was one such vet. “I graduated from high school in 1971 and didn’t have enough money for school,” Denny said. “So I joined up for four years so I could go to college on the GI Bill.” In some cases, the GI Bill was only a secondary reason for enlisting. Some joined primarily for a change of scenery, as in the case of junior Phil Lines. “After high school, I wanted to get away from the academic life for awhile, so I decided to join the Navy and see the Living x+ Lifestyles world. I thought it might help me mature a little.” Massy told a different story about his enlistment. “In 72 I got my draft number. It was two,” the journalism major said. “They never did call me up, but I enlisted anyway because there was no guarantee they wouldn't call me up.” By taking advantage of the Army’s enlistment options, Massy got himself stationed at nearby Ft. Benjamin Harrison as an Army journalist. For most vets, leaving the service for college was a major adjustment. According to Lines, who became a freshman at the tender age of 23, “It’s different at first since a lot of people in the beginning classes are a lot younger than you. There are times when I feel like an older brother to the students, especially living in a dormitory, but it’s really just a matter of adjusting.” “When I first came back to school I had a sort of complex about being older, but once I got confidence in my ability academically, then I was okay,” said Denny. Massy added, “Some guys have trouble making the adjustment from one institution to another.” Transition or no transition, the benefits of the GI Bill were real. One hundred and eight days in the service brought 45 months worth of benefits, and although the amounts varied due to the number of dependents and the status of the student, they generally paid for tuition and housing with a little pocket change left over. Those quarterly checks went a long way toward making a tour in the service pay off. (DCD, JAP, SES) Sometimes called “Grandpa” by his fellow Schmidt Hall residents, photojournalism major Phil Lines found the adjustment from Navy to college life “different at first” because of the age differential. (JAG) ‘House Beautiful’ it ain’t: but housing alternatives do exist The college experience stressed diversity. Students encountered ideas and per- sonalities they had never considered. This could be a sobering experience—one that forced students to search their souls, reassess their values, and try to find themselves a niche. Most did find a niche, as like met like and formed together in fraternities or sororities, honoraries, study groups, social organizatons, and, yes, publication staffs. As this occurred, the campus became more and more fragmented until it came to resemble a series of enclaves, each one made up of people with similar interests and each one different from the next. Nevertheless, there were a few in- escapable things with which every student had to deal. Where to live, how to study effectively, and how to finance it all became concerns which unified every ele- ment of the student body. Less diverse was what faith each chose to follow through his or her college career. Perhaps it was this set of beliefs that ultimately let each deal with all the lifestyles at Ball State. (DCD, MDW) Her was where the homework piled. Whether it was domicile in a dorm or home in a house, students found their habitat to be only what they made it. “We have our rowdy times.” Believe it or not, this cheer- ful assertation came from a resident of Botsford Hall, the honors dorm for women. Vicki Taylor, Toledo, Ohio junior, chose to live in Botsford because of its location in Johnson Complex. “We're involved on campus and we have a pretty good dining service,” Taylor said. She also liked the Z-shaped rooms in Johnson Complex. “If someone comes by that you don’t want to see, you can just hide in the corner. And it breaks up the monotony of four walls; we have six!” Although Botsford was socially involved with its brother hall, Swinford, Taylor felt an academic atmosphere prevailed in the hall. “I can get more studying done here than I would anywhere else,” she said. Reclining on his bed beneath the shade of two flourishing avocado plants, Don “Hiram” Walker said he liked the freedom of living in Menk Hall, a coed dorm in Studebaker Complex. Walker, a Garrett senior, experienced a variety of life- styles on campus. After living two years in all-male Wagoner Complex, he was a student staff in Shales Hall. There he enjoyed the brother sister activities with Woody Hall, but he was happy to regain “resident” status at Menk. 99 “T like having a name again, not just being ‘the staff’. Window washing was just one of the numerous household chores that faced residents of Moore House, one of the management houses. Sheryl Fulks, Noblesville senior took on her fair share of the responsibilities. (JLL) Married Students, Veterans, Housing xx Lifestyles 71 One of the few seniors on his floor, Walker stayed in a residence hall for four years because his music major kept him too busy to take time out for upkeep on a house. “The way I eat, living in the hall is much cheaper.” he added. Economy was the reason senior Jim Wainscott moved in- to Scheidler apartments—economy and Wainscott’s wife. He particularly liked the double-level construction of Scheidler. “You can leave the bed unmade upstairs and still have people to visit downstairs,” he commented. Wainscott also felt living in a community of students was “better than hav- ing some old biddy live next door.” Marriage and schoolwork were two big challenges to Wainscott, but he felt he had a better sense of direction and a sharper perspective than most students because he was responsible not only to himself, but to his wife as well. Indianapolis senior Cindy Nichols said living in Brandt House taught her a similar kind of responsibility. Brandt House was provided by the university for women German students who wished to live in a German-speaking Greek houses along Riverside could accumulate a lot of trash during the week, especially during the fall when leaves fell.

The only language requirement for living in the Brandt House was that German be spoken at the dinner table. “It’s not as hard as it may sound, Cindy said. It’s not difficult if you have the background. The only way to learn a language is to use it, and there’s no way youd forget the word for bathroom.” While foreign language houses provided the rare op- portunity to earn credits simply for living somewhere, other students moved out of dormitories for different reasons. After living in a dorm for two years, Loretta Joyner, Sum- mitville junior, decided she needed a change of scenery and moved off campus. “T love it because it feels more like home,” she said. Joyner shared an apartment with two or three room- mates, depending on what quarter it was and who was stu- dent teaching. Her apartment was one of four in the same house, and she admitted there were problems with neighbors. “We got complaints about how we set the thermostat and how loud the stereo was,” she confessed. Dissension could arise between roommates, too, as she discovered early in the year. “Dividing up the phone bill, going to the laundromat, and going to the grocery store were interesting,” she laughed. Commuters, like freshman Christy Brichford, were large- ly exempt from roommate problems, although they often had brothers and sisters to contend with. As for Brichford, she indicated that, much as she liked the “small town at- mosphere” of her home in Fairmount, she would have preferred to live across the street from the university. “Commuting is a drag in the winter,” she said. Many commuters got snowed in on campus more than once dur- ing the winter and had to find ports of storm somewhere in Muncie. South Bend senior Sandy Rosenbaum spent winter quarter living in Schermer, one of the Home Management Houses. “T loved it,” she said. “It’s a lot different than people ex- pect it to be, and we get to eat a lot of great food.” A requirement for home economics vocational majors, living in the house introduced students to many working concepts of household utility. “The house was built with management in mind,” said Rosenbaum. “There is no wasted space; everything is thought out. There's even a closet under our stairwell.” Residents were required to attend all meals from Sunday noon to Friday night. Like Brandt, housekeeping and cook- ing duties were shared, rotating in five-day cycles. No matter where they took up residence, be it ever so humble, students found that where they lived helped deter- mine what they learned. University policy required non- commuting students to live in a residence hall until their junior year or 21st birthday, but other options—ranging from off-campus Greek houses to foreign language houses— provided alternatives to the dormitory experience. Off-campus housing was another alternative. Wherever students lived, they were educated on how to live with themselves and others.

If offered the choice of a hot party or an anthropology book, however, all but the eternally studious would haul out the boogie shoes, run a comb through the locks, and scurry out the door. Most did manage to set time aside for studying each day; even if it meant reading in the kitchenette or study lounge into the wee hours of the morning. “I study more because I’m here all the time,” said Gary freshman Fran Maggio.Since I’m paying money, that’s what I'm here for anyway.” On the average, students cracked the books two to three hours outside of classes Monday through Thursday, with a miniumum of six hours per week. Weekend homework was usually avoided until Sunday afternoon, following Friday night and Saturday relaxing. Dorm rooms or apartments proved the popular study locations. In their homes, students could lounge com- fortably with an easily accessible snack supply and op- portunities for frequent breaks. A majority visited the library at least once or twice a week for a needed book, mandatory test study, or a rare chance for solitude. Quiet and secluded nooks and crannies provided almost private areas for studying at Bracken Library. Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin junior Dave Ketter, who also brought his supper to the library, takes advantage of one such isolated area. (CAS) When, how to crack the books: a dilemma every student faces “I have a tendency to fall asleep in the library,” Frankfort political science major Don Young remarked. “As long as distractions stay out in the hall, I can study in my room. I do get sidetracked quite often, anyway.” Senior business major and Blue Key Honorary member Doug Germann, thought subject matter a key factor in study habits. “Where, how, and what you study definitely depends on the subject. If I’m doing accounting, it takes my full concentration, but I relax more if it’s light reading. I guess I spend up to 70 to 80 percent of my study time at the desk, but I find myself moving around sometimes so I won't get too bored,” Germann, a Williams Hall desk staffer, said. Baker Hall roommates and Alpha Lambda Honorary members Ann Wickersham and Tena Stang both received perfect 4.0 averages fall quarter. “It was a pure miracle, Wickersham laughed. “I just changed my major and was trying really hard, to do well. It takes a lot of self-motiviation. It’s not like high school where youre told everything. You're expected to know and do more on your own. Most of all you have to be willing to put in time to studying and learn to budget that time.” The Bunker Hill sophomore made daily time schedules which also incorporated time to serve as Student Senate Academics Studying xx Lifestyles 75 Committee chairman, Baker Council executive office, and an Honors House employee for six hours a week. Tena Stang also served on Baker Council and worked the dining service breakfast shift. “Our usual bedtime was about two, sometimes later. With council meetings and other activities, I didn’t even start studying until about 10:30 and it was solid books from then on. I do study a lot, but I also do a lot of cramming,” she said. Although attaining an education is a prime goal of most students, it was not always considered the most important. Cooperating with others is probably the most important thing you can learn at college. You have to learn to be able to accept other opinions because you're not always right,” said junior Greg Gardner from Union Mills. “It’s especially important for me because I'll be working with people in business, an area that revolves around teamwork.” Swanton, Ohio junior Jeff Tober agreed, “Dealing and working with other people in college helps prepare you for post-college experiences.” Gayle DeMeester, Mishawaka freshman, suggested that both socializing and studying were important, “Learn to discipline yourself to study when you should be studying and to have fun when you should be having fun.” (JAP) Bracken Library offered a comfortable and quiet atmosphere for those who took their studying seriously.

I’m not trying to sound preachy, but that’s just what it is,” she continued, “The church should be a community, and Newman is a community.” Shiel felt the year at Newman as president afforded her with a great deal of personal growth. “I’ve learned a lot about myself and I think that I’ve changed.” She saw Newman as a place for students to go not only for spiritual involvement, but for social and educa- tional growth as well. Gail Nilsen, Decatur junior, was a member of Muncie’s Faith Fellowship. “I would consider myself a charismatic Christian,” she said. “I define charismatic as a person who has been baptized in the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues.” r Nilson said she didn’t necessarily % equ ate religion with Christianity.

(CAS) | | | | iL Sermons on the mound I was shades of fire and brim- stone as students paused between classes to listen to the banter of Jed Smock and his merry band of believers sermonizing on the North Quad mound in the September Indian summer. Smock intensely paced the length of the grassy mound, flailing both his arms and the Good Book to the heavens. “God's already got me. Halle- lujah!” Smock shouted. “He got me five years ago. Praise the name of Jesus.” The word “Jesus” echoed off and died. The blue-suited Smock, rep- resenting a non-denominational evangelical church from Terre Haute, responded haughtily to the slings and arrows of a between-class crowd. Someone yelled, “Is God dead?” Smock grinned and responded, “No, I talked to Him this morning.” The mass began to disperse and mellow out, so Smock read scripture and shouted, “I wouldn't be surprised if this whole earth opened up and Ball State was swallowed up. Mockers and even the apathetic among the congregation took to that statement like fish to water and mi jeered back. Smock took the attention and turned to stepping on the toes of the homosexual. “There are more queers than PHD’s on this campus,” fumed Smock. “I’ve never met a happy queer.” Freshman Mike Thomas of Indianapolis and Huntington sophomore Kathy Brown had been standing quietly on the sidelines. “Smock is going about it in the wrong way, said Thomas. “How can he possibly hope to accomplish anything by riling students up?” Brown added, “I’m sure he sincerely believes what he is preaching, its just that he is going about it wrongly.” Smock spanned his arms omni- potently over the crowd. “How many of you love Jesus?” quizzed. A few shyly raised hands. “All the rest of you,” he said, “are going straight to hell.” (ALM) The controversial Jed Smock was a familiar figure on this and many other campuses across the nation.

The friend told him about the Ba’hai faith and Bernie contacted the local group. In September he became a member of the Muncie Bahai 78 Living x Lifestyles community, by acceptance and enrollment. The members of the faith met in people’s homes every 17 days to worship and talk over problems. Bradley said he had always been interested in religion, and that the Ba’hai faith in no way conflicted with his Christian beliefs. In fact he said that it strengthened his belief in Jesus Christ. Bradley’s family, members of the Disciples of Christ church, were totally understanding about his change in religion. “The Ba’hai faith demands taking religion seriously,” he summed up. “We should all take it seriously, if we want to get out of the crisis the world is in.” Far on the other side of the coin was Kevin Hanbach, Warsaw sophomore. Hanbach, an agnostic, saw religion as man’s creation, and said he resented having religious beliefs pushed upon him. Some students chose a more disciplined approach to religion. Indianapolis sophomore Bernie Bradley said Ba’hai “demands taking religion seriously.” (TAH) “I feel that, for the most part, students here seem to be religious,” he stated. “and most of them don’t seem to push items Hanbach believed in “one supreme being,” although he did not see this being as ruling every aspect of a person’s life. “I don’t have the faith believing everything is ruled by God, and I don’t believe everything in the Bible,” he said. “I would like to see some proof.” Although religion did not play much of a role in the lives of students like Hanbach, Ball State stayed, on the average, a fairly conservative, religious-like campus. The Religious Council, consisting of representatives from each faith, met regularly to discuss ways of spreading their re- spective beliefs across campus, and Ball State remained one of the few universities in the nation to main- tain a Religious Programs office. While George Burns and John Den- ver were giving the Deity a few rounds of applause in Oh, God, students worshipped in their own ways. Whether it was listening to a “sermon on the mound” in the quadrangle, or witnessing the flocks going to church on Sundays, even non-believers knew that God was alive and well in Mun- cie Indiana. (ALM) Wi: the September heat pouring sweat down their faces, and _ their disgusted looks of waiting in line, students found that after the long wait in finan- cial aids came money in the form of scholarships, loans, and jobs. Students’ tempers ran short until they were told they would receive aid; then the majority resumed their Joe Cool personalities once again. While some paid their own way, others took advantage and applied for application a half-year ahead of time for the next year. “The financial aids office helped me out a lot,” stated Oscar Barton, sophomore from Muncie. “If it wasn’t for them, I wouldn’t be going to school here. Ball State pays the majority of my education, but I work in the summer and that helps. I don’t go at the beginning of school when it’s crowded. I go in January to get my applications. I think it’s less crowded then.” Changed income levels in families and student marriages helped determine how much aid students received. Tim Grant, senior from Indianapolis was affected by both of these financial situations. “One year I got a basic grant and a state scholarship, but my dad got married, and, since that meant that my family’s income raised, that cut out my Getting a job on campus meant filling out an employment application and then obtaining an introductory card from financial aids before talking to the potential employer.

We both got grants, so neither one of us can work.” Grant received additional assistance through a track Religion, Finances x Lifestyles 79 scholarship. “I got my fees and books paid for my sophomore year.” he stated.” Students were only allowed to earn a limited amount under the work-study program. Even so, the program was inviting, since work-study students were able to get on- campus jobs faster than other students. Employers prefer- red work-study students because the federal government funded 80 percent of their wages. Students footing their own way through school couldn't file independently for financial aid if they had lived with their parents more than two weeks during the year. Thus, parent income was figured in with the student’s on a finan- cial aid request, even if the student’s sole support from his family was an invitation to visit over Christmas vacation. This created special problems for work-study students who were restricted to a limited in- come. Permitted to earn an unrealistic amount of student wages during the year, many took up moonlighting without the university knowing. Freshmen had the majority of scholarships, which were awarded from their local high schools, but after the first year students looked for other means of aid. “My freshman year I got a few scholarships from high school for room and board,” stated Junior Sheila Cox from Mooresville. “I get tuition paid by a scholarship, but my grades must be high so I can get it for 12 quarters. My Ball Bta 65 BRniversity Although students were not permitted to earn more than 20 hours of student wages per week, most found those hours sufficient and opted for the convenience of working on campus rather than off. Linda Naumcheff, one of many students employed by the Ball State Bookstore, applies some letters to a T-shirt. (WEV) 80 Living x Lifestyles parents pay for room and board now. I pay for books and everything else.” Even though academic scholarships were numerous, the most popular being the state scholarship, students pounded their brains to get the grades necessary to receive them. Not everyone had to fight administrative red tape or struggle for a set grade point average to get through school. Senior Jan Lucas from Indianapolis stated, “My parents pay for my education. When I work I just spend that money while I'm here at school.” But even those who had their education paid for by their Cashing paychecks early Wednesday meant standing not in one line, but two, as most students proceeded directly from the check line to Merchants Bank.

(CSK) parents did not simply breeze through school without a worry. “I’m under a lot of pressure,” said Evansville junior Mark Powell. “Everyone thinks I have it made since I drive a nice car and have plenty of spending money, but if I don’t do well enough in classes, I catch a lot of hell when I go home. Since they (Powell's parents) are paying for it all, they have the right to make demands.” ; Fort Wayne sophomore Sherrie Rosenthal expressed the same sentiments. “My parents can afford to pay my way through college, but I just didn’t feel right about not put- ting something into it myself. So, I got a job at the Mall, and now I help out by. buying my own books and helping out with the rent,” she said. “I only work weekends, so it doesn’t hurt my grades,” she added. In one way or another, almost every student worried about finances—and with inflation and the recent tuition increases, students found themselves scrambling a little - harder to make ends meet. Learning how to handle money and how to make a few material sacrifices were just a cou- ple of the many lessons going to college could teach. (KJG) BONnOwecdsinganad blacked!

The response was immediate and overwhelming. The day after the news hit, students and facul- ty members cornered President John Pruis, Dr. Richard Burkhardt (dean of faculties) and Dr. Robert Bell (treasurer) in a Student Senate- sponsored open forum held in the Student Center. Angry instructors asked why ad- ministrators were being given raises at _ a time when budget cutbacks were forcing class cancellations and inhibiting growth in several departments. Students asked why their classes were being canceled in a year in which fees had been increased by over 10 percent.

In the face of mounting crises, students and faculty alike had responded by pinning all the ills of the university on the shoulders of one man.

It began with a mere winter storm watch, but by Tuesday evening weather stations across the Midwest were thrown into a panic. It would be snowing—hard—for a long, long time, they reported. They were right. Among the many pieces of unfinished business left over from fall quarter was the matter of Bracken Library hours (see Fall Events, page 55). The long quarter break had quelled some of the momentum created by fall’s study- in, but administrators were already committed to concessions. A group of undergraduate students, determined to see the push for extension through, submitted a proposal to the University Library Committee (ULC) asking that Bracken remain open 24 hours a day. “We realized that around-the-clock hours were unfeasible,” said South Bend junior Sue Clark, “but we felt if we originally asked for around-the- clock hours, then students would accept any extension of hours.” University Librarian Ray Suput, who submitted a counter-proposal to the ULC, felt the students proposal was unjustified and unrealistic. “There is no college or university that I know of that runs the library around the clock, so I don’t think Ball State should be an exception.” Suput added that no other college library in the Midwest Academic Conference was kept open after midnight, although he did admit that Bracken had the shortest hours in the conference. ULC Chairman Merrill Rippey, who went on record favoring some extension of library hours, asked the students to tone down their request. They complied with a The Blizzard of 78 was the kind of snowstorm that lends itself to legends of guts and gall in the face of crippling north winds, the kind of storm of which we tell our children—and their children. For a _ week, everything stopped, and although school was of- ficially reopened Tuesday, January 31 (against the will of the Muncie mayor, Robert Cunningham), it would be several more days before students were able to locate the tops of their cars in the 12-foot snowdrifts. It was also the kind of snowstorm that could be very dangerous. Defeated by the crunch request asking an additional 16 hours weekly to the then current hours. They got a third of that. In a December 14 meeting, the ULC passed a resolution changing Bracken’s closing hours during weekdays (except Friday) and Sunday from 11 p.m. to midnight. Checking out of materials would be permitted until 10:45 p.m. An extension of hours during finals week was also approved. The ULC then passed the resolution on to Suput and Stephen Wurster, dean of academic planning and faculty development. Suput promised the new hours would go into effect immediately after Christmas Pruis Resolution, Blizzard of '78, Bracken Library Hours % Winter Ev Although no blizzard-related deaths occurred on or around campus, dozens died of exposure throughout the Midwest. Locally, snow caused the collapse of a Yorktown gymnasium roof and contributed directly to a blast at the High Street United Methodist Church in downtown Muncie. The High Street explosion, which lit up the’ sky like a scene from Close Encounters of the Third Kind, caused an estimated $1.6 million damage and forced the evacuation of the downtown area. For students, the blizzard’s main ef- fect took the form of cabin fever. Hud- break. And they did, only not for long. Just over a month later, the energy crisis hit, and hours were reduced drastically. Even the 24-hour room was inappropriately named during that period. After the coal strike was settled, library hours were returned to what they had been before the extension was granted. The reason given was a continued need for energy conservation, a need which lasted the entire year.

Beer and wine were the next items to go. A clerk at a nearby Village Pantry reported that when people “couldn’t buy milk, they bought beer and wine.” On Saturday, as the sun peeked out from behind the clouds for the first time, those who set out to explore could see four-wheelers unloading beer at the local liquor stores and bars. Beer was a much- needed item, as it would be a week before area supermarkets could replenish their much-larger inven- tories. The stores would recover soon enough, but it would be a long, long time before the campus was back to normal. Clearing the campus of snow, for one thing, was a job that would last the entire quarter. How to make up an entire week of lost classes was another problem. It was soon announced that classes would be extended into exam week with exams to be administered during those class hours. Anyone who still needed convincing knew with that announcement that blizzards are in- deed a drag.

The Blizzard of ’78, I remember it well, I was a mere college student then, occupying a four-room apartment with two other girls in a small Indiana town. Our first thoughts during that devastating event were for survival and sanity. “As I recall, we screamed a lot. First, in celebration because classes were canceled; later, because we'd done everything else there was to do. “The television became our fourth roommate and brought many new friends into our home—all those wonderful people like The Doctors and The Young and the Restless kept us spellbound as we sat in our bathrobes on arc- tic afternoons. When we tired of these acquaintances, we turned on the stereo and spent seemingly endless hours with three young men with the unlikely name, “The Bee Gees.” “But truly, my son, our lifeline was the telephone. We called everyone we knew in a five-state radius. If there had been an exten- sion in the apartment, we pro- bably would have ended up calling ourselves. “We all suddenly remembered long-lost talents with the needles and sat knitting and embroidering into the wee hours.

The scissors appeared and the tresses flew. What, dear? Yes, mother’s hair looked like a poodle even then. “A new game called ‘Beauty Shop’ was invented, and hovering over fashion magazines, we pro- duced pots of paint, turned on the make-up mirrors, and remodeled our faces. We were like the pro- verbial atheist in his grave: all dressed up with nowhere to go. “I’m ashamed to admit, my dear, that we even had evil thoughts about the other apart- ments. Not because our neighbors had provoked us, but because we were so joking bored we felt to throw tennis balls at the ceiling to irritate the upstairs neighbors or to place a leaky aquarium over the heating vent that led to the apart- ment downstairs. But we never gave in to these temptations. “Well, dear, that’s the blizzard as I remember it. It might be dif- ficult for you to understand some of it, since we do live in Hawaii now.

Later, students “found their way with RHA” at an energy-saving, candle-lit coffee house in Wagoner Complex, in individual hall gong shows, at a Swinford Hall disco, and at a successful Casino Night in Noyer Complex. A Wide World of Interest Night gave students an opportunity to witness everything from police sketch artists to belly dancers to wild animal training in different halls. Hebron sophomore Kim Tutza, On Campus Days chairman, attributed the week-long event’s success to RHA participation. “The purpose of On Campus Days was to promote residence hall living and bring students in halls together campus wide.

When the administration announc- ed a one-week extension of spring break, those with Fort Lauderdale on the brain rejoiced, while those trekk- ing home to small town Indiana looked forward to more of the same energy squeeze. It was perhaps not the most conducive atmosphere for academic excellence: students who had missed much of the quarter due to snow were now forced to cram for exams in the dark. The energy crisis left dents on grades and lives, and many parted for spring break not knowing when, or if, the next quarter would begin. (ALM) Drastic cutbacks put a crimp on kitchenette and elevator usage. Even though most made an effort to help in the crisis, an editorial comment by one elevator voices the minority view.(CAS)) In early February the coal miners strike became more than a nagging reoccurrence on national news. The shortage, and the chain of events it triggered, laid an icy finger on each individual and held its grip longer than anyone would have imagined. President Pruis, on January 28.,. requested a cutback which would be “easy for all.” Who would miss a few lights here and there? But the here and there became everywhere when, on the very next day, Indiana and Michigan Electric Company issued mandatory cutbacks, and Kenneth Rott, Physical Plant director, initiated campus cutbacks for budgetary reasons. A week later the news was rippling across campus that Indiana University was facing suspension of classes, and President Pruis announced Ball State’s need for a 50 percent cutback by February 20. Scrambling to meet a deadline only five days away, maintenance personnel decreased lighting by removing or disconnecting light bulbs. In the residence halls, custodians vacuumed only on alternate days. Laundry facilities and elevators were turned off, leaving only emergency stairwells lit. Dining services dimmed lights and cut out the use of ovens, grills, and toasters. Campus happenings slowed to a crawl. Basketball games were held in the afternoon during daylight hours; night classes were restricted to fewer buildings; and students had to curtail their activities to shorter hours at the gym, the library, and the Tally. According to Housing Office official Mike Pitzo, students complied admirably by using fewer lights and limiting use of Coal miners fought for salary increases as the campus battled to cut energy usage and keep the school open.

Conscientious students asked themselves, “Which takes more energy—the hair dryer or the toaster?” while the less conservation-minded complained openly of bumping into people in dark hallways and eating cold food. By February 17 the situation had reached the point where Senator Lugar recommended burning coal with corn. The Muncie community was hard hit as both Marhoefer and Chevrolet plants cut back power and employees. The 77th day of the strike, February 21, saw the chance of relief as the United Mine Workers and an independent coal company reached a tentative pact. But President Carter still threatened to evoke the Taft-Hartley Act, and cartoons issued dire black and white warnings from the editorial pages of newspapers. Closer to home was the administration’s announcement that the opening of spring quarter would be deferred from March 7 to March 14. May graduates began to wonder if they would receive diplomas in three months as originally hoped. After another tentative agreement was voted down by the miners, President Carter evoked the Taft-Hartley Act on March 13. Although the miners ignored that action, school was in session on March 14. As the weather warmed and days grew longer, the coal shortage seemed less threatening, but the campus heaved a collective sigh of relief on March 29 when the 110 day strike finally came to a close. Although the major cutbacks were lifted, university officials requested a 25 percent energy cutback in the face of skyrocketing costs. By then, most students had learned to live with less. Ball State had weathered the coal shortage better than I.U. or Purdue but most students will remember the dark months with a slight shudder.

Big-name musical entertainment came to Muncie in the form of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, The Lettermen, and J. Michael Henderson. Good music to be sure, but hardly big-name rock-and-roll. Then, to the surprise of many, Harry Chapin appeared at Emens in February; the three-hour per- formance was sold out by the night of the event, ample proof of students’ desire for rock concerts. Emens Auditorium officials said the seating capacity, 3,600 in maximum number, did not allow for hard-rock and top-40 groups.

Yet, despite a lack of musical entertainment in the big-name sense, Muncie had disco, rock, jazz, and folk groups of its own. With the dymanic dancing and Bee Gee’s soundtrack of the hit movie Saturday Night Fever, a disco craze swept across the Midwest, and Muncie was no exception. Friday and Saturday night discos attracted large crowds with local disc jockeys and disco light shows. Dormitory lounges turned into massive dan- cing floors when furniture was pushed aside, fluorescents dimmed, and strobe lights flashed to the disco beat. “Discos are unbelievably popular on cam- pus, David Abraham, South Bend junior, said. He and Neil Rish, both former Edwards Hall residents, headed the “River City Revue,” a disco and light show company popular on campus. “You can almost call it a sport,” Abraham said of disco dancing.

Some disco and light shows, such as Chip Traub’s “Disco Master and Company” from In- dianapolis, cost more than $100 but provided a more magnificient light show than most local groups. Off-campus discos were more of a hard-rock, top-40 combination at King’s Corner. Saturday Night Fever-style dancing was more of a reality, however, in Muncie’s Disco Barn atmosphere. Located on Highway 32, the disco opened in April and drew full houses on Fri- day and Saturday nights. Students who were more into the mellow, folk-type music con- gregated over cups of Mexican Mocha or hot chocolate in the Village Two Bit Rush. When Seals and Crofts, George Benson, or Judy Collins recordings were not heard faintly in the coffee-house back- ground, J. Michael Henderson or Bill Wilson were performing live from a corner in the room. Laura Cumberland, Anderson freshman, waited tables in the serene, folk atmosphere of the Two Bit. “With Michael Henderson, we always had a good crowd,” she said. David Fassett, Rochester junior, liked to spend time at the Chug listening to local bands, such as Jump Street and Last Chance. “Discos completely turn me off. I'm not so much of a dancer that I pay so much to go do it,” Fassett said. “If you're into dancing, especially chicks, you like disco, but if you're at bars and there’s not room to dance, live music is a lot ENTERTAINMENT MUSIC IN MUNCIE “I'd like to see some originality,” he said. “Not a bunch of carbon copies of top 40's.” Like most other students, Fassett felt it was a “vicious circle” when the administration could not get a big-name group to campus due to a lack of seating capacity. “That foot- ball stadium sits open most of the year,” he said. “If IU and Purdue University Singers spent months preparing for their tour of the U.S.S.R. in June.

If one looks around, he can find good music.” In fact, no matter what kind of entertainment one looked for on or around campus, one could find it. Professional dance troupes, sym- phony orchestras, famous come- diens, road shows, and, you name it, all visited the campus at one time or another during the year. Entertainment at Ball State did in- deed run the gamut—from pan- tomime to rock-and-roll.

EMENS AUDITORIUM seemed most shows were directed toward the Muncie community rather than students. The truth was that most shows were indeed geared toward community entertain- ment—the construction and maintenance of the auditorium being a joint university-communi- ty project. The support and importance of the community was sometimes overlooked, but this was not the case on the night of October 7. It was then that students discovered absolutely all tickets had been sold for both Red Skelton shows and that most were in the hands of local residents rather than students. Skelton agreed to do another show on Sunday, October 9, but the race for tickets caused quite a hubbub on campus and in the Daily News.

According to members of the group, they tried to choose a variety of shows to please as many people as possible. West Side Story, the Wright Brothers Overland Stage Company, and Henry Mancini lifted the year off to a varied beginning. The Young Americans, a reper- tory stage company in their 15th season, presented the West Side Story musical.

Because it was the last per- formance in Muncie for the group before their anticipated dissolution in December, this last concert was a special one. And according to many of the listeners, it was also one of their finest. Of course the main attraction of October, of the fall season, and even of the entire year was the Red Skelton Homecoming Show. The Indiana-born-and-raised comedian entertained capacity audiences with his anecdotes, his “rubber” face, and his simple clowning around. He also touched the hearts of many as he told the audience, “I just want to hear people laugh, because you're the only family I’ve ever had.” Following an act like Skelton’s would be difficult; but only a week later, Louise Russell and Robert eee Merrill gave an exuberant opera 3 the dissolution of the Wright Brothers.

The struggles to reach the auditorium through several in- ches of snow proved well worth the effort.

The singers performed many of their popular tunes and ad- ded to the evening talking to many in the audience and signing autographs. January opened the new year at Emens with performances by the Indianapolis and Muncie Symphony Orchestras and Jerome Hines. Then, rumor had it that a long- awaited promise was to be fulfilled. After a three-year delay, Harry Chapin was to return. He walked out on the stage without any fanfare or big introduc- tion and immediately charmed the audience. Neither the freezing tem- peratures outside nor the reduced wattage inside (due to the coal strike) dimmed the audience’s en- thusiasm for the popular singer and composer of such hits as Cat’s Cradle and Taxi. : Chapin gave the near-capacity crowd an exciting three-hour-plus concert with many of his hits such as I Want to Learn a Love Song and W.O.L.D. His band also pro- vided students with a talented young drummer, who told the au- dience what it was like to be the “horniest rock-and-roll drummer in the world.” It was the smooth and easy man- ner in which Chapin presented himself that elicited the audience’s very favorable reaction.

Casting aside microphone and podium, Bailey proceeded to “speak from the heart.” Bailey's “maniacal mind,” as a friend once called it, jumped through topics ranging from senior citizens to new shoes as she unceas- ingly paced the stage and cast a spell of attention over the atten- dance. “I do not have time to deal with race, religion, and creed,” she said. “I deal in humanity.

F airy tales with happy endings seem to only come alive in story books, but something magical seemed to unite the Ball State campus with one of the country’s most popular recording groups, The Lettermen. The Muncie audience was just as en- chanted by The Letterman concert of November 4 as it had been with the four concerts the group had performed in previous years. “Emens is one of the most beautiful auditoriums we've formances.” But their story does not close with just one happy ending, but two. Clad in a deep maroon suit, Butala told the packed audience, “On this stage I met a Chi Omega who became my wife. . .

That year Judy was crowned Homecoming Queen and was also editor of the Orient. “Before the show started, I went backstage, and Tony remembered me,” Judy said. “We went to Pizza King afterwards, and he said he would call. He never got around to it, though.” .. . Until later, That Thanksgiving, when The Lettermen performed again in Highland, Tony contacted Judy. After that his calls became more fre- quent, and, at Christmas, he flew her to California to meet his parents. Compared with other college romances, Tony and Judy’s courtship was atypical. They didn’t meet each other in the Commons after hours, order pizza at night, or run into each other between classes; most of their weekends were spent apart. “We saw each other as frequently as we could—everytime he came through on tour,” Judy recalled. Being engaged to a celebrity like Tony Butala, especially in the 60s, was big news on campus. “Everybody was excited,” Judy said. Everyone but her ex-fiance, who was bombarded with old Lettermen records and sweaters. “He was teased quite a bit,” Judy admitted. Emens fairy tale a reality more was evident, but the auditorium quickly cleared of spec- tators. It had been an interesting season in Emens. The walls seldom - rocked and reverberated with big- name rock groups, but the people inside smiled and laughed with the memories of Pearl Bailey, Harry Chapin, England Dan and John Ford Coley, Red Skelton, and The Lettermen. (LDF, DDP, SES) Emens had a special significance for veteran Let- terman Tony Butala, who met his wife here in 1968. In tribute to her, he croons You Are So Beautiful, a Billy Preston love song. (CAS) In the spring of 1968, six months after their reacquaintance on the Emens stage, Tony and Judy were married. Their marriage, incidentally, marked the beginning of a friendship between Tony and Dr. and Mrs. Oliver Bumb. Bumb, who was vice president of public! affairs and university development at Ball State until he retired in the spring of 1977, had been a close friend of Judy’s. After Judy’s marriage, when The Lettermen performed at Emens, Tony and frequently the oldest of his four children, Anthony, would stay with the Bumbs. From those visits, Bumb learned a lot about Tony and The Lettermen. “Tony worked hard as a child,” said Dr. Bumb, adding that Tony’s parents encouraged his singing during his early years. Tony was born in Sharon, Penn- sylvania, and sang on a radio show =| when he was eight. His family moved to California so Tony could sing with the famed Mitchell Boys Choir in Hollywood. Later he sang with actress Connie Stevens in a group called “The Foremost.” In 1960, The Lettermen were form- ; ed. According to Tony, two popular misconceptions have formed about the | group: when it was formed and the number of members. “I remember you guys,” Tony i; mimicked. “You sang at my senior prom in 1952. But what happened to _ the fourth guy?” | “There have always been three guys,” Tony clarified. “There have never been four. And our first performance was in 1961.” The Lettermen have undergone several changes since they were first spotted by George Burns in 1961. Tony traded in his short-cropped hair for a -_ ..s ARNE gpI tA rem ee styled-blond afro, and the black, pointed shoes and straight-legged pants that were fashionable in the 60s were supplanted by three-piece, tailored suits, platform shoes, and open-collar shirts. Some things, however, have not changed. The Lettermen’s music has re- mained popular; their performances re- tain their personable quality; and au- dience participation—one of the keys to their success—has remained important. During their November concert at Emens, Tony snaked his way in and out of the audience, soliciting song requests. About four rows from center stage, an elderly woman sat with her hands fold- ed in her lap and her lips pursed. As Tony leaned toward her, she whispered her request in his ear. Tony smiled, and as he began to sing I'll Be Home for Christmas, tears clouded the woman's eyes. As the trio joined in unac- companied harmony, the audience warmed. The Lettermen continued to please the audience— which was now hushed and relaxed—by singing more requested songs and popular hits such as I Emens Auditorium, The Letterman x Performance 113 A near sellout crowd packed Emens on November 14 to see The Lettermen.

After almost two and a half hours of songs and jokes, the Lettermen ended with the popular I Think I’m Going Out of My Head. Tony, however, was just starting. After signing autographs and talking with students for another two and a half hours, he crossed McKinley and knocked on the Bumb’s door. Once inside, he kept the household up until 3 a.m. talking about Judy, spinning tales, debating issues, and philosophizing. “The Lettermen have a tremendous concern for people, and their per- formance is concerned about what the audience wants,” said Bumb. “That is why for the past 16-17 years they have been so successful. They are concerned about human welfare and want to help people. That's just basically the way they are.” (MMH) x 7 h Lambert also explained that ex- tensive work was done on the set. Designed by David Shawner, the set resembled the inside of an old and dilapidated Midwestern home. “The reason the play was cho- sen, Lambert said, “was to bring some kind of realistic, modern drama of the early 50’s to the main stage.” Come Back, Little Sheba dealt with the decay of a middle- aged couple's marriage.

While weather was no major obstacle to contend with in November, the January 25-28 pro- duction of Under Milk Wood didn’t appear on the theatre main stage until February 16 due to paralyzing winter storms. Directed by Judy Norton, the play was presented in “theatre of the mind” style, a drama form which uses minimal props and requires audience imagination. The play dealt with a day in the life of 63 townspeople in Milk Wood, a fishing village in Wales. Eight actors portrayed the 63 parts, a feat which involved intense characterization and skill. All motions on the stage, ranging from the combing of hair to the ringing of bells, were pantomimed and aided by the use of sound ef- fects. James Thorpe and Jim Har- din, the first actors to appear on stage, were narrators. The other ac- tors were Deb Freeman, Sandra Bohn, Bill Walker, Joann Foster, Mark Inskeep, Tracy Smith, and Tami Wintrobe. The main stage ended its season with The Sound of Music. Greg Grostefon, a Winamac freshman who had a minor role in the play, cited the chorus of nuns and Mother Abbess (portrayed by music school professor Barbara Manford) as assets to the four sold-out shows. The show’s director was James Hardin, whom Grostefon said he also came to respect. “He was a really fun guy to work with,” Grostefon said. “He had a rapport with everyone on the cast.

The cast practiced with Hardin for nearly four weeks, final- ly achieving “flawlessness” at dress rehearsal. When the curtain finally rose, more than one nervous cast member was settled by a little loosening-up alcohol. Pulling off a production like The Sound of Music required a great deal of dedication, and the actors who scattered about the main stage were more than dedicated. Hours of practice both on and off the stage gave the shows a professional flair. By filling the undesired roles, actors gained the experience needed to at- tain the more cherished ones. Joyce DeWitt, ABC-TV’s Janet Wood in Three's Company, had her start on the Ball State main stage, although she didn’t attain a starring role until her junior year. That says something for the caliber of Main State Theatre and its performers.

Reed Steele, Angola senior, was one such student. Steele and eight other actors put together a mime show which they presented in the Sudio Theatre November 9-12. The group, called “Mime Over Matter,” performed skits in pantomime. The show opened with a comic introduction to mime by Steele, followed by The Haunted House, which featured Lisa Pettet, Cincin- nati, Ohio freshman, and Andrea Rosmarin, Columbus, Ohio soph- omore, as two people caught in the rain who attempt to seek shelter in an old house. Patoral, the next skit, was the story of a sad and bored farm girl stuck with an uninteresting life until she met a supposed madman. Actors in this drama were Joann Foster, Monticello freshman, Mark Inskeep, Indianapolis freshman, and Charles Smits, Green Lane, Pennsylvania graduate student.

Secondly, After a winter of freezing walks across campus, relief and warmth were available through outdoor sports- bicycling, frisbee throwing and ‘catching some rays.’ The sirens song of Florida lured students to the beaches of Daytona, Ft.

Once upon a time, five students decided to run for the office of Student Association president. During the planning stages of the festival the workers had opportunities to share the reasons for such a festival. And in the festival itself, reasons were plainly evident. Participants acknowledged that whatever talents they had to show were given them by the Lord. Perhaps this is why architectural thesis projects were displayed right along with needlework, paintings, and wallhangings. There were no ribbons A tale of political turmoil and tree climbing This is the story of Student Association elections, a tale impossible to tell objectively; a journalist’s nightmare, a politician’s gabfest, and the awakening of an apathetic student body some ten years after the fervor that was Berkeley’s. This is Ball State’s Watergate. Once upon a time, five students decided to run for the office of Student Association president. Muncie senior Brad Allamong was interested in pumping new blood into the Senate, while one-time Senator Michael Surufka, Munster sophomore, pledged allegiance to the SA with his convincing blue eyes. Muncie sophomore Sandy Schwier spoke out for unity, and Lakeville, Conn., sophomore Mike Flint led the radical factions with plans for a student operated and owned union. Indianapolis junior Paul Barrett campaigned to improve communication between students and administrators. And South Bend junior Sue Clark and Anderson junior Mark Bibler went along for the ride as vice-presidential candidates. The stage was set; the script played havoc in the Daily News, and mimeographed campaign literature filled every john stall, covered every telephone pole, and hung in every hallway across campus. There was some mudslinging between the actors when Flint accused Surufka’s followers of crossing out Flint’s name and replacing it with Surufka on Flint’s Swinford Hall door. Surufka received a warning from Election Board Chairman Michael Glantz, Hartsdale New York, sophomore, for 124 Spring Events Weeks of hearing charges, counter-charges, platforms and debates finally ended when a run-off election allowed. students, a final chance to end the madness by voting for SA president. unfair campaign practices. However, Surufka was peddling Domino’s pizza when the alleged backstabbing took place. Candidate Barrett tried to wake some of the living dead in the Tally one noon when he called for presidential debates. Fielding poisonous, planted questions and outrageous apathy from the floor. and answering the harangues of a media panel, four of the five candidates staged their own Meet the Press, a la Ball State style. Schwier had overslept. The campus was saturated with politics as candidates discussed, debated, and disputed the issues at forums in dorms and at fraternity houses. Several of the candidates reportedly rampaged the Studebaker Dugout, informing people, “If you leave now, it means you don’t care.” Many students grabbed notebooks and Hostess Twinkies to leave before Surufka apologized for the group. Elections were held on two rainy April days in polling booths at strategic places. Glantz had informed Daily News editor Tracy Warner, Hartford City, junior, that election results would be released to the DN near dawn when all the votes were counted. The press was rumored to be harassing election board members by parading and swearing in front of the SA office. To make popular once again a phrase coined by the Washington Post, confidential sources stated that when Election Board member Dave Andreas, Kokomo junior, left the SA office via a window to avoid the so- called beleaguring press, he spotted a DN photographer in a tree. (The ironic issue, noted by ardent nature lovers, was that there are no trees within many feet of the SA office window with branches strong enough to support a photographer and heavy telescopic lenses.) Glantz then refused to hand over election results to Warner. The next morning the paper bombarded newsstands with a front page editorial citing Glantz’s threats ither we're gonna kill him, or we’re gonna break his leg,” said Glantz, according to the DN. Later Fraze would tell the DN that after Glantz refused to give election results to Warner, he and two other reporters, Goshen senior Kathy Barks and Indianapolis sophomore Laurel Hensel, called in an anonymous tip announcing the victors. The results, however, could not be verified by Warner and were not printed. The staff phoned in the tip because “we were feeling as guilty as hell,” Fraze said. “We were violating every journalistic principal we believe in.” When election results were finally New Publication © appear hen t Weeki. j if i iB betel common knowledge, candidates Schwier, Surufka, and Allamong were eliminated with a run-off necessary between Barrett and Flint. Campaigning was tamed down considerably after the field had been narrowed to two, with Barrett and Flint supporters rallying for victories. Candidate Barrett defeated opponent Flint by an overwhelming margin. Campaign posters got soggy on telephone poles as spring rains faded them into history, as elections and surrounding rumors lodged in memories. Activity around the SA office mellowed back into the normal chaos, and the Barrett administration began attempting goals. SA elections, Fielding questions and promoting the better student- administration communication proved a successful formula for SA presidential candidate Paul Barrett.

Defeated vice-presidential candidate Clark sat in the SA office the day after the run-off, staring out the window and said, “By God, I wish I could have been there when they were counting ballots and people were jumping out windows and swearing. It must have been quite exciting.” And so the story ended. Like many fairy tales, the good guys defeated the bad, or the bad guys defeated the good, depending on how one looked at it. And the moral of this story was: Never count your trees before they’re planted.

Preceding the actual competition on April 15, the girls talked with the judges at an informal interview. First runner-up Audrey Fitzpatrick, Indianapolis freshman, viewed the competition as a good way to get involved with campus activities. “I think it’s good to get involved as a freshman, and besides, it was fun,” she stated. “I think it will eventually be as 126 Spring Events thawing out ee ir big an event as the Miss Ball State pageant.” “The pageant was well-organized and it ran smoothly, but there are a few things that could be changed,” said junior contestant Suzan Faulkner, Fort Wayne. “It needs more financial support and more publicity.

As a board of trustees member for 24 years and as the board’s chairman for 20, he had fac- ed many burdensome decisions. To choose the most difficult of those deci- sions was, in itself, an arduous task. “When I first came to the university, ” Bracken recollected, “most of the pro- blems involved physical facilities, such as the purchasing of land and the construc- tion of buildings. But, in recent years the budget problem has been most troublesome. The problem of finding the necessary dollars for salaries, deciding what the university should be teaching, and the role of the university in the com- munity is very important. This matter of budgets and dollars requires the greatest care and study.” Like the colossal library named for him, Bracken has become somewhat of an emblem at Ball State. The stately ad- ministrator, who has given a major por- tion of his 70 year-old life to the board of trustees, admitted that recently it has taken even more of his time. With the university continuing to change and grow, the job does not appear to becom- ing any easier. Back to the desk, Dean Richard Burkhardt saw only little of the daylight during his work day. The Administration. This is the view of the Administration Building which greeted students in the fall. Ball State University, the sign, was the written symbol of a way of life for students. For seniors, it was the last year, the end of a way of life. The ultimate decision-making body at Ball State, the board of trustees’ duties were exhaustive. The trustees hold the overall responsibility of determining the construction, purchase and sale of buildings, approving the salaries of university employees and approving the overall curriculum. Yet, each of the eight-member board is also involved in a multitude of civic and community . organizations, and nearly all have time- consuming professions. Board members include Harold Wallace, director of corporate affairs ser- vices, Eli Lilly Company, Indianapolis; Will Parker, vice president of Industrial Trust and Savings Bank, Muncie: Mrs. Robert O’Maley, an active housewife from Richmond; S. Edwin Schouweiler, chairman of the board, Old Fort In- dustries, Ft.

All board members are appointed by the governor of Indiana. Garretson is the newest member of the board, being ap- Perhaps the most controversial action the board of trustees took during the year was the implementation of the Hayes classification system. A great many faculty were infuriated by the Hayes study, and some said it sparked the no-confidence vote against President John Pruis. According to Board of Trustees Chairman Alexander Bracken the system was “misunderstood,” and can be criticized. “Tt is not the final answer at all,” explained Bracken. “It is just an attempt to get salaries in line with positions. We realize that there is more work to be done on it.” Before the classification system, Bracken said Ball State was the only state university to have a fixed salary schedule. There was no flexibility in “sort of jumped on as something that pointed in January, 1978. Cook, too, assumed his position in the same month, although the student trustee's term is two years, not four. And of course, there is Alexander Bracken. A lawyer by profession, Bracken began his career as general legal counselor for Ball Corporation in Mun- cie. After heading the legal function of the company, he eventually worked his way up to become chairman of the board of directors, and in later years he earned the same position at Merchants National Bank. That’s quite a bit of responsibility for one man, but Bracken seems to be able to handle it capably. His decisions in the last year with the Ball State board of trustees, though, have certainly been some of his most crucial and trying. Problems at the university were spark- ed, in part, by the implementation of the Hayes classification system, which placed administrators on a flexible pay scale. Although the system was met with severe disapproval by members of the university senate, the board of trustees steadfastly went on with its implementation. The senate called the system one more exam- ple of the university's “business-like” at- titude in handling its affairs. Hayes ways controversial salaries, and the board felt it was important to take in account the availability of faculty members. For instance, the university was trying to build its medical and architecture programs, Bracken said, but teachers in these areas were in great demand. So, the board asked Robert Hayes Associates of Chicago to make a study of the salary situation in order to “meet the market.” “We were just trying to solve a practical problem of how to get good people at this university,” Bracken said. “We were also trying to reward faculty members who had done outstanding work.” “The University Senate’s taken a position that it’s a merit increase. All I can say is that the board will continue to look into it further,” Bracken said. (RJJ) Trustees 14] Behind the faculty and fees Tuition, turmoil, and trouble mal Controversies ranging from charges of secrecy and lack of communication to political versus educational priorities plagued the _ university's administration during the past year. The tumultuous winter and spring quarters were culminated by the Student and University Senates’ votes of no confidence in President John Pruis and his eventual resignation after 10 years in office. . The first major dispute arose in late August when President Pruis withheld the minutes of two summer board of trustees meetings. He refused to allow the Daily News access to the documents, a violation of Indiana’s anti-secrecy law, and claimed the minutes were not public records. The minutes contained information on administrative pay raises passed by the board. Several attempts to view the university's internal budget were also thwarted by Pruis. Many students and faculty members felt the administration was _ deliberately keeping the documents secret or as a Daily News editorial stated, “One can't help but get the feeling Ball State has something to hide.” On September 23, Chairman of the Board Alexander Bracken announced that the board would comply with the sunshine law and release the minutes and the budget. The first direct attack on the university's leadership came during a University Senate meeting on September 22 when Chairman Paul Parkison pointed to an increase in what he termed the “us vs. them” attitude that was developing between the administration and the faculty. In his speech to the senate he claimed the education process suffered as a result of the administration caring more for In conference, during a year known for course cancellations, the dean’s meetings became more crucial.

During the year, Pruis met with students in several open-forum meetings in residence halls in attempts to answer students’ questions about university issues. One of the first meetings was held at Hurst Hall in early November. Pruis, along with Welker Bishop, assi stant dean for student housing and M.C. Beyerl, vice president for student affairs, discussed the Hayes Classification System, library hours (at this time a petition had been filed to extend the hours) and the recent increase in tuition. Pruis said he opposed the extention of library hours, supported the Hayes System and passed the buck on the increase of tuition to the state legislature. The uneventful Hurst Hall meeting turned out to be the calm before the storm. Dissatisfaction with the administration and its leader came to a boil with the implementation of the Hayes System. Many faculty members Politics 143 LEIA ELE DLOLEL ESTP SLE OE 144 x Politics Behind the faculty and fees: fi 14 [ and deans voiced their disapproval. Objections from the University Senate ran rampant. During a senate meeting November 3, Pruis addressed the faculty on the Hayes System and answered criticism directed at the administration’s handling of it. Several members claimed the information on the study was kept secret, including the cost of the study. After calling for several delays in the implementation, the senate voted to oppose the original system. Although deans, faculty members and the American Federation of Teachers strongly denounced the system, it was accepted by the board of trustees on November 17, when it unanimously voted pay raises to 52 administrators in the salary ranges for 10 of the pay classifications. To those who opposed the system, the boards approval seemed a political move on the part of the administration—totally A sign of the times.

Pruis’ apparent support of the system weakened his position with those who opposed the system. Another issue that haunted the administration during the fall and winter quarters was the _ classes dropped because of a lack of funds and the delays in hiring temporary teachers. During an emotional Student Senate sponsored open forum on November 30, Pruis and Dean of Faculties Richard Burkhart were on the defensive as students and teachers debated the dropping of classes and the financial situation that caused the cancellations. Students and faculty criticized the administration for their lack of communication in skirting the issues. Some faculty members claimed the situation was an example of administrative politics.

Several members claimed the heirarchy of authority blocked an open, informal administration and they questioned the political versus educational priorities of Pruis and whether or not they were in the best interest of the university. Deans, department heads and faculty said Pruis did _ not adequately communicate with them and the president's relay channels were impersonal and _ insufficient.

The vote came after a lengthy debate and a speech by Pruis in which he defended the Hayes System and said he had scheduled meetings with university leaders to discuss the problems of communication. The board of trustees officially recognized the resolution and vowed to look into the problems carefully, but they tabled the resolution and reaffirmed their confidence in the job Pruis was doing. But the tabling of the issue did not forestall the pressure on Pruis. During January he met with deans, department heads and leaders of student government in a succession of meetings in which the problem issues were discussed. One such meeting was on January 12, when Pruis and Chairman Bracken met. with six student government. Those attending the meeting described it as “positive,” but most felt that more communication in further meetings was necessary to resolve any differences. But despite the administrations attempts to improve the channels of communication, Pruis’ leadership capabilities were still in doubt. Amidst rumors, on February 2, Administrative Assistant to the President Ronald Bouchard announced his resignation.

The trustees announced the formation of a search and _ screen committee to find a new president. With guidelines set by the University Senate and the board, university officials set out to select nominees for president. Some of the characteristics desired in the selection were broad and deep experience in the administration of higher education, some training in education, and the capabilities of getting along with people.

For the President, “everything else” en- tails favorite pasttime fishing, ex- perimenting with photography, and attending concerts and plays with wife Angie. “Getting involved with people is actually my hobby,” Pruis related. “I feel we have to relate to others in order to grow. The personhood of each individual is so important.” Ending ten years as chief ad- ministrator at Ball State, Pruis said he is ‘too busy to list specific ac- complishments and set-backs. ” One of President Pruis’ projects was the Cardinal Round Table. Students across campus who were involved in various organizations joined him for dinner.

The President does, however, pinpoint Campus Chest as the program which most characterisizes Ball State students. “When I first came, students were _ standing everywhere dressed in really _ funny costumes; I didn’t know what | was going on,” Pruis laughed. “I was _ amazed that students were so well | organized in raising money for wor- | thwhile things. I still feel that the _ fun, creative process involved in Campus Chest epitimizes the spirit of Ball State students. Pruis greatly enjoyed the concert | and artist series as well as student productions. “We have a rich and varied series of entertainment,” he said, “I have never been disappointed in the quality.” “We have to remember that sheer | quantity (in anything) is not the best _ measure,” the President continued. “The quality level—how involved are the performers in doing a good job? _ How is it being enjoyed by | othersP—is the most important | aspect.” (LAS) Pruis the president, the man As president of the university, Pruis served as a public relations man.

He gave unselfishly of himself—and provided a tremendous stimulation for lots of good things.” How do students react to the so- called “man-on-top” when they see him outside the office? “It all depends on the person, ” Pruis explained. “Some rush by, not knowng what to say. Others come right up to see how I’m doing.” Pruis said he wished for more contact with the students, adding that Cardinal and Residence Roundtables helped him become familiar with student personalities and needs. Ground breaking for the new College of Business had President Pruis out of the Ad Building on campus, March 29. He speaks to a group of people before he and the university deans picked up their shovels and officially started progress on the new building.

He described his “off-hours” haven—a cottage in Northern Michigan. “It’s sometimes necessary to go there in order to leave things at school.” Pruis felt the various pressures, jobs, and activities of the university president do not in themselves characterize the role. “You have to give up a part of your person,” he said, “Although, I'm certainly not suggesting that brings unhappiness, ” he grinned. Students had a chance to talk with President Pruis at his monthly Cardinal Round Table in the Student Center. From organizations of all kinds, students were invited to dinner with the president.

It provid- ed its life giving function through a variety of programs and offices from recruiting to post-graduate place- ment; from healing your body to healing your soul from aiding the handicapped to financial aid; from career counseling to psychological counseling; from the International House to student housing. The office responsible for bringing “life” to the heart is the Office of Ad- missions. It performed this function by visiting over 200 schools to tell counselors, principals, and students what Ball State has to offer. “But we also provide a total service to the high school,” said Dr. Joseph Naum- cheff, Assistant Director for Admis- sions, “by providing any other in- formation they may need concerning higher education.” Orientation introduced students to the university during the summer. Set up by Student Affairs, student Orientation was headed by Richard Harris and run by upper-classmen who donated time as SOC leaders. One SOC group plans a skit for an evening program. (DRT) In conjunction with the depart- ment heads, the Admissions Office was centrally responsible for all of the pamphlets, booklets and letters sent to high schools and prospective students. “And the hardest job,” said Dr. Naumcheff, “is to keep up with what's going on, and the changes. We meet regularly with departments so we can learn as much as we can about Ball State. We don't know all the answers, he added, but we know all the people who have the answers.” The Admissions Office was also responsible for determining if a stu- dent should be admitted, how he was classified, and if transferred, how many credits were accepted and how much they were worth. According to Dr. Naumcheff, students and parents were impressed with Ball State because of the beautiful campus, the excellent facilities, and the wholesome looking Student Affairs was behind most activities which involved students.

But, ” he added, “if we didn’t have something worthwhile to promote, we couldn't do it. It’s easy for us to promote Ball tate because of our total environment.” Once students were admitted to the university, the Student Affairs Orientation Office took over. “Ball State is noted among Midwestern universities for its orientation pro- gram,” said Richard Harris, coor- dinator for orientation. “It took us about 12-15 years to develop the basic structure of orientation here. We need about 300 students for the Student Orientation Corps. (SOC). I'm very proud of the SOC,” he add- ed. “Many colleges have dropped that approach, saying you cant get college students to do something for nothing anymore. That’s why our slogan is, It’s hard work if you can get it, ‘which we borrowed from the Peace Corps. The SOC makes the dif- ference,” Harris said, “it really helps when you can get 300 people to work their tails off for two days and ing ere the schedules £ — 156 x Student Affairs .

This was the office responsible for ID cards, records administration, class lists, grades, mailing grade reports, processing of grade changes, in- completes, removals, name changes, and any other addition or deletion required on a student's record. But despite the enormity of the task, “everything we do is student oriented,” said Joseph Espey, the registrar. “It is strictly, what can we do for the students?” It was to serve this motto, that the Request System for scheduling classes was initiated. “The real advantage of the system,” said Espey, “was, that for the first time, we knew what students wanted and needed,” Four weeks before the quarter, the requestion lists were given to each department to see if they could accommodate the desires of the students. About 80 percent of the students get what they ask for, according to Espey, with seniors with the most hours getting first choice and freshmen, last choice. “So it is definitely to the students’ advantage to pre-register.” he added. bacs 3 we Room 410 of the Administration Building housed one of the offices of Student Affairs.

(TAH) Student Affairs % 157 Behind the faculty and fees: There was one group of students at Ball State, for whom coming to school here was a bit more com- plicated than just apply and moving across the state. They were the 180 international students from 68 dif- ferent countries who were attending school here. Kirk Robey, director of International Student Programs, and his staff handled the initial inquiry from the student, evaluated academic credentials and all applications forms, and processed the application forms through the Admissions Office and the academic department involv- ed. Robey’s office also dealt with the national and international agencies and scholarship organizations by whom most of the students were funded. But Robey’s responsibilities did not end once the student arrived on campus. His office was also responsible for running an orientation program to educate the international student on our academic system and our American culture. His office also had a host-family program, where the international student actually liv- ed with a local family during the first week of school. “The Muncie com- munity was very receptive to the host-family program,” Robey said, a ; ; ; hs . . 2 wy as NS ee RES one GO AT ATV Owes 5 ae 158 x Student Affairs “and not only university families par- ticipated.” Robey was also responsible for coordinating programs which shared the cultures of the international students with the rest of the student population. Programs such as the In- ternational Festival, the foreign film program, a monthly international dinner, panel discussions on current topics, and a speakers bureau, were all designed to inform students and the local community of life in other countries. Besides cultural differences and language familiarity, probably the biggest problem for the international students was money, Robey said. “But even when a student's funding was cut off for some reason,” Robey added, “The Muncie community was very helpful in raising money or even providing temporary jobs.” Robey said that international students liked Ball State “because it is a small and friendly community.

But for about half the students at Ball State, just being accepted was not enough. In order to come here and remain in school, they required some form of financial aid. Over $14 million was disbursed by the Office of Financial Aid in the forms of scholarship, loans or campus employ- ment. Most students applied for either a short term, 60 day, loan or for the National Direct Student loan, which allows for a ten year pay back period after graduation. “We do have a delinquency rate problem with our loans,” said Norman Beck, director of Financial Aids, “It’s about average, but the average is too high.” Beck ex- plained that the money needed pro- mpt repayment to provide for the needs of new students. To help alleviate the delinquency problem, the Office of Financial Aids turned to legal methods. “We have a collections department,” Beck said, “but it’s ter- ribly costly.” The Office of Student Financial Aids dispersed more than $14 million for educational needs in 1978. Students, however, sometimes found the hassles of getting to the monies almost not worth the efforts, usually because of long lines and red tape.

(WEV) 160 x Student Affairs Another area which concerned students when they first arrived on campus was where and with whom, were they going to live? The task of assigning rooms and roommates was the responsibility of the office of Residence Hall Personnel and Pro- grams. According to Dr. Betty Har- rah, director of the office, “sharing a room is a part of the learning pro- cess.” So her office tried to assign roommates that had common values, and they also looked for differences in background and experiences. “Car- bon copies have no thrust for grow- ing,” Dr. Harrah said. So they tried not to assign persons together from the same small town or the same high school. The tool used to make roommate assignments was the self-evaluation form, whereon students showed their likes and dislikes. “But some students take it as a joke,” Dr. Harrah said, “and others really don't know themselves.” Students were able to pick their own roommates if they wanted to, “but for freshmen,” Dr. Harrah said, “we do a better job.” While Dr. Harrah provided the supervision and impetus for residence hall programs, the individual hall director was responsible for each hall’s programs. “The purpose of the programs,” she said, “was to promote student growth, self-understanding, and development and their ability to relate to each other.” Each program, therefore, was tailored for the par- ticular group. “Developing a trust relationship between the director, his student staff, and the hall residents,” she said, “is the most important and hardest task, and the programs mere- ly supplement the individual relation- ship.” Dr. Harrah cited overcrowding and discipline as the two biggest pro- blems in the residence halls. “Students want two contradictory things,” she said, “they want to be treated as adults, but are not ready to assume the responsibilities of adulthood. A lack of understanding of their obligations to the communi- ty, is probably the largest problem, ” she added. Once students had arrived and got- ten settled in, they began to look around for something to do. To fill their non-academic hours, Ball State had 268 organizations, groups and committees. The man who was responsible for assisting these organizations in obtaining what they needed and in running efficiently, The student heart throb was Dr. James Marine, assistant dean for Student Programs and director of Student Activities. “We try to provide a coordinating function for all of the various organizations,” he said, “and we did this by providing work shops for their various officers and leaders; obtaining or coordinating buildings and equipment for their use; and ac- ting as a consultant in the planning, scheduling and execution of their programs and events.” The basic philosophy of the student programs office was to provide learning op- portunities in which students actually participated in governance, although the exploration, planning and execu- tion of cultural, academic or socially oriented programs. “The number one problem through Marine, “was ade- quately communicating the areas ot ' involvement available to the students. ” “ 1 ' | .

(CAS) Residence halls provided a home for more than 9,000 | students as well as for homeless sororities.

The reason we can attract more han- dicapped students here, than can other universities, like IU, is because our landscape is basically flat.” Har- ris emphasized that most people don’t know the many needs o f the han- dicapped. “There's a lot of difference between a power wheel chair and a manual one”, he said, “and a world of difference between the needs of the blind and the needs of deaf students.” Harris noted that there was still room for improvement in the services, however. “There's a need for elevators in East Quad and Practical Arts,” he said. “The ones they have now are unsafe,” he add- ed. “When the Women’s Gym is , ) | ; d | The student heart throb } | modified that will be a big help.

With eight full time | medical doctors, and 12 registered _ nurses, the Health Center had over 27,000 student visits during the school year, and over 1,000 physical therapy treatments per month. “We're going to get more into preventive medicine,” Dr. Pentecost said, The Health Center saved money for the students through the phar- macy, where students were able to purchase medications at reduced cost. “We dispense medications at our cost, plus one dollar,” Dr. Pentecost said, “that way we can save the students about half of what it would cost at a regular drug store.” Ball State also a Sg a a en aaa al SE eRe One paid for lab work and X-rays at Ball Hospital or for the first visit to a local physician. Ball State was not only concerned with the physical well being of the students, but also catered to their psychological needs, through the ser- vices of the Counseling and Psychological Services Center. The center did everything from testing students on biofeedback equipment, to GRE, SAT and vocational test; from assertiveness training, to crisis intervention training; from personal counseling, to group problem solving. And according to Dr. Patsy Donn, the center director, the center had 8,705 counseling contacts during the year with students, faculty, and families of students and faculty. “The mission of the center,” said Dr. Donn, “is educational, developmental and preventive. But basically it is to enable students and faculty to func- tion more effectively and to do better what they want to do.” To perform this function, the center had a staff of nine full time, licensed, psychologists, seven or more doctoral interns, and two psychometrists (testers). “And some member of the staff is on-call 24-hours a day,” Dr. Donn noted. “In a four year period,” she said, “we come in contact with about 25 percent of the students.” And she added that the strictest con- fidentiality is maintained for all of their clients. Another health area controlled by the university, was that of en- vironmental health. Dayton Swickard, director of the Office of Environmental Health, said his office was not only responsible for the food quality of the 18 residence hall kit- chens, the 175 vending machines, the Kitselman Center, Burris School and the Student Center, but also for the problem of insect and rodent control. “Last year, there were some reports of rats in Cardinal Creek,” Swickard said. “I went down there every night for a week at about nine or ten o clock. I didn’t find any rats.” Me CHURCH OF GOD ANDERSON 163 Student Affairs x - Student Affairs Behind the faculty and fees: The university also met the religious needs of the students through the Office of Religious Pro- grams. “Religion represents who we are in the most intimate sense,” said George Jones, director of religious programs, “and the university en- vironment gives the student not only the opportunity to understand his own faith, but the faith of others. So here, religion cannot be separated from education,” Jones noted that the religious programs’ office was not an establishment of religion. “We are part of the university,” Jones said. “One third of my job concerns stu- dent organizations like Student Voluntary Services, and programs like Changing Student Values in the Classroom. Another third of my job is acting as liaison between the university and the churches and clery in the community. And the other third,” he said, “involves counseling with the individual students. ” In the same manner that the brain interprets information about changes in environment and causes the heart to change its rhythm to adjust to new demands, the Office of Student Af- fairs Research provided information to university directors on changing student needs. “our primary role,” said Donald Mikesell, director of the Students had medical facilities and assistance from licensed doctors and nurses in the Health Center.

We did acampus survey a year ago when females on campus were uptight about security. We put in our recommendations to President Pruis and, as a result, outside lighting on campus was increased. We're also interested in seeing students graduate from this institution,” he added. We're comparing trends in the SAT scores with our dropout rate. We lose anywhere from 10 to 12 percent of our students in their first year,” Mikesell said, “and only 58 percent of an incoming freshman class will graduate from the university. We want to know what is going on out there, and what the needs of the students are,” he concluded. Probably the last, but certainly not the least important ‘chamber’ of the university's ‘heart’ that affected the students, was the Office of Placement and Professional Selection.

However, the adage, “You can't get something for nothing,” held true for Natural Resources 101 students, who found themselves boarding a bus once a week for the class field trips. The trips were held during the two-hour lab session each week. “Most of the people I’ve talked to Taking notes, Dr. Timothy Lyon’s Natural Resources 101 class took five field trips during the year.

As Lyon sat down and the driver started the bus, the rain began to fall and the class members fell back into their slumber, probably dreaming about the next week's trip to Prairie Creek Reservoir. There were ten people gathered around a large table one day in room 509 of the College of Architecture and Planning. They were playing a game, and what's more, they were doing it for a grade. It was far from the average Milton Bradley or Parker Brothers product, as players were equipped not only with dice and play money, but also with felt markers and pocket calculators.

The game, which re- quires four persons to play the roles of construction managers and six peo- ple (two per team), to play as con- tractors, was first developed in the spring of 1977 by architectural design students with the guidance of Bonta. The game had been revised twice, once in the summer of ’77 and then again in the winter of ’77-’78. The class itself involved nothing but the designing, playing and revising of ar- chitectural games for the students of Role playing was frequently used in classrooms to help students experience the kinds of problems they might encounter some day out on the job.

The purpose behind the game was “to explore the theory that phase con- struction can speed up a project with manipulation by the construction manager (CM.) This is achieved by giving the CM a list of operations that have an established cost and a fixed relationship. From there, the CM must develop a critical path and obtain bids from the contractors that will minimize his cost. Throughout the game, he is hampered by strikes, inflation, poor materials and the possibility of failing inspection.” People who have trouble following simple games like Monopoly or Life would be totally lost in the Construc- tion Management Game.

However Bonta said, “The games we have here are much more complex than anything I saw over there.” Bonta’s gaming sessions were popular among students of the college. In addition to the Construction Management Game, there were four or five other highly advanced games played in the class.

Out-of-class experience was the idea behind Management 402; in fact, there were no in-class ex- periences. Dr. Theodore C.

The products are shipped from Brazil, Hungary, or Korea and then are transported by a common carrier from port of entry. The company then distributes the product to 38 states via trucks. “Our company is a specialized business,” Shields said. “You won't find another company like ours in Indiana.” One problem which the business en- counters is the fact that fireworks are extremely seasonal. “It’s a once a year thing,” Shields said. “You only have once chance to do it right.” Classes moved outdorrs fall quarter, usually to such pleasant areas on campus as the Arts Terrace.

The group members split the work evenly between themselves. Bruce, Teresa, and John were expected to devote 10- 20 hours per week toward the class, but in reality Bruce admitted, “We spend much more time than re- quired.” The team had to submit progress reports to Dr. Willoughby, who graded the group and the in- dividuals on “how professional a con- sulting job they’ve done.” The team also had to submit a 30-35 page report to Shields, making their recommendations and relaying their findings.

If Charlie had been on campus, he'd have found a compromise in Mrs. Helen Steele’s Meal Planning and Table Ser- vice course (HFN 220), where the students ate their work twice a week. Every Tuesday and Thursday of spring quarter, the class members escaped the campus’ dining service. The course, a prerequisite to living in the home management houses, was centered toward the home economics major and listed its objectives as the ability to plan, prepare and serve meals which are nutritionally ade- quate on various levels; to learn management of time in meal preparation; and the ability to plan, prepare and serve special occasion meals, The class was split up into groups of fours. One member of each group acted as the hostess and had another member of the group to function as her helper. The other two group members were the guests. The hostess had to have her meal plan submitted to Mrs. Steele prior to the class period. In addition to the menu, the table service plan also had to be sub- mitted along with the recipes for the dishes. Classroom situations instigated activities across campus from the academic atmosphere. John Barber's class on violence in America decided to hold a Strawberry Jam concert as a project. It went over so well, one jam was held each quarter. Nina McLain participated. (WEV) Table manners were a part of Helen Steele’s meal planning and table service course.

In addition, Mrs. Steele said, “I look at the type of food they prepare and the nutri- tional quality and make sure the units are cleaned, so that the kitchen looks respectable.” Even though labs lasted from 10-12 a.m., the class had to prepare @ breakfasts and dinners, also.

Professional laboratory ex- periments moved teacher candidates into actual classrooms and specialized programs. Coordinating of these pro- grams was the major activity in the Teachers College. The college of education had four basic areas: Education Administra- tion and Supervision, Counseling Psychology and Guidance Services, Center for Life Long Educat ion, and Burris Lab School. The actual learn- ing within these departments, however, took place in their special programs such as EXEL, “You get to see how different children react to different types of teaching,” Mindy Wiley, Connersville junior, said of the EXEL program.

The classroom experience also helped the students choose the type of situation in which they would like to teach. Casselman, for instance, said she had the chance to see both closed and open classrooms. “T prefer the closed classroom because it is your own teaching, and open classroom Is team teaching,” she ex- plained, adding that the open classroom concept seemed to bother her because of noise control. “I like four walls around the classroom.” Students in the EXEL program also seemed to have the advantage when seeking employment. “Students who have been in the school that much are further down the road,” Alexander said. Teachers college classrooms took on experimental methods as well as the use of projects such as EXEL. Obser- vation of activities inside the rooms were viewed from behind two-way mirrors or from video machines that could be recorded in the building's television sub-control r oom on the fifth floor. Student teachers checked their teaching methods and group reactions by later viewing and listen- ing to the tapes.

(CAS) 202 xx College Overview Most of the courses offered through the Teachers College were at the graduate level. “We have more graduate programs and courses because teachers have to come back to school to get their life licenses,” Leslie Mauth, assistant dean of Teachers College, said. A department in the college handI- ed the students returning to college regardless of their programs. This growing concern due to an increasing number of older people returning to school was in the Center of Life Long Education. The department set up programs and worked with the returning students. “That's a growing concern because the number of older people coming back to polish their skills is increasing,” Mauth said. Specializing in the general concerns of the elderly was the Institute of Gerontology. The institute offered a minor program to 25 undergraduate and eight graduate students in 1978. Graduate assistants took on classes for a year as part of their studies. Physical education instructor and grad assistant Steve Van Camp gives a skills test to students in a beginning judo class. (MJI) Behind the faculty and fees: “Largely what they study in geron- tology is to focus their major areas on older people,” Mason Atwood, In- stitute of Gerontology director, said. The concepts of education have changed. Students now learn in the classrooms as well as on campus and study specialized aspects of teaching such as gerontology and programs for the older student. But the basics still remain: teacher education. In a year in which the president of the university resigned, squabbles over student politics reached an all- time high, andthe shortage of energy threatened the school year, classes didn’t get much press or attention from anyone; but they remained the backbone of the university.

Board of Trustees President Alexander Bracken has cited the creation and support of faculty research and grant programs as one of the university's major achievements in the past ten years. In January of 1977, the University Research Committee reviewed 226 proposals submitted for faculty academic research to be completed during the 1977-78 academic year. Of these 226 proposals submitted, 184 were awarded. The allocations in the Spring of 1977 totalled over $24,833, Breaking down the awards, one finds that 148 of the 184 grants were given to the College of Science and Humanities, 12 to the College of Fine and Applied Arts, nine to the College of Business, eight to the College of Architecture and Planning and seven to the Teachers College. One grant awarded for the 1977-78 academic year was entitled “A Com- parison of Ankle Joint Oscillation and Ground Reaction Forces as Con- tributing Factors in Shin Splint In- juries of the Female Athlete.” Behind this lengthy title was a study of a physical ailment whose cause and cure are unknown. Shin splints were studied by Ms. Andrea Seger and Dr. Gale M. Gehlsen of the Women’s Physical Education Department. “A shin splint, Seger said, is comparable to a headache in the shin.” Although the cause of shin splints is unknown, Seger and Gehlsen do know that the problem is prevalent among women participating in gymnastics and track. In these sports, the lower leg takes excessive abuse. Seger and Gehlsen were awarded $732 with which they purchased film and other equipment for four sessions Analizing joints. Ms. Andrea Seger and Dr. Gale M. Gehlsen of the Women’s Physical Education Department, were awarded a grant to study shin splints. Shin splints, which the cause and effect of are unknown, is comparable to a headache in the shin. Fundings for extensive findings of experiments using twenty subjects, ten with shin splints and ten without. In these experiments, Seger and Gehlsen measured strength and flex- ibility in the ankle and filmed sub- jects running, noticing the oscillation of the ankle in subjects with shin splints. The film was processed and used on a Vanguard Motion Analyzer, a machine which allows closer study with slow motion. Pam Wilson, physical education major and a non-shin splint partici- pant in the experiments performed said, “I enjoyed doing it. I did it in the hope that they would find some way to help people who suffer from shin splints.” Wilson and the other participants donated their time to the experiments, not receiving any money or extra credit. Each participant spent three hours undergoing various experiments performed by Gehlsen and Seger. “Shin splints will develop into a crack over a period of time,” Gehlsen stated. “It would take three to four weeks to show on an X-ray machine,” Seger added. As of now, the only relief for shin splints is ice, heat or just rest. Seger and Gehlsen concluded that “there needs to be more study in the area. (RLA) On the other side of the coin, in the Men's Physical Education Depart- ment, Dr. Peter J. Van Handel was engaged in a project entitled “Effects of Age on Work Capacity and Isolated Muscle Mitochondria of Rodents.” Van handel was alloted $749 to study cardiac and skeletal muscle energy production systems and how any changes in the biochemical events may be related to the overall work ability of an animal. “Rats are used,” explained Van Handel, because they have a life span of about three years which makes it easy to follow them from youth through old age. The animal model also allows us to examine the heart tissue and remove whole skeletal Van Handel noted that one’s abili- ty to take in and use oxygen in the cells decreases with age. The ability Research xx 205 Behind the faculty and fees: to use oxygen is directly related to one’s capacity for work. In other words, an older individual has a reduced ability to take in oxygen and can not work as well or as hard as a younger person. “This aging effect appears to be related to some changes within mucsle cells, so that even though oxygen may be present in suf- ficient amount, they have reduced ability to use it ot produce energy neede for muccular contraction. ” Van Handel added, “My studies hopefully will give some insight into this problem.” From an energy production point of view, exercise training may also be involved. “Moderate endurance train- ing over the years seems to slow or modify the rate of the aging process,” stated Van Handel. As a result, this idividual can do more work or has an easier time working compared to those who are less trained. “There is no doubt that chronic endurance ex- ercise training modifies the cellular processes involved in energy produc- tion,” Van Handel said. “However,” he added, “the question is are these changes merely a reversal or slowing of aging or is some other mechanism involved?” he stressed, however, that indiviuals shoud not begin exercise training programs without first con- sulting their physicians. This is especially important for individuals over the age of 35. Once the research is completed, Van Handel hopes to have the data published for the scientific reader as well as the general public. Since old age will someday concern us all, Van Handel's research seems to be perti- nant to everyone whether young or old. “A horse walks up to a betting window of a race track and says, Id like to place two dollars on myself for the next race.’ The attendant behind the counter looks up in amazement and the horse says, ‘What's the mat- ter, are you surprised I can talk?’ The attendant replies, ‘no, I’m sur- prised you think you can win.’ “This joke is typical of the ‘shaggy 206 Research dog’ stories I hand out to my classes. 1 want to know if they think a joke is funny and why,” said Dr. Lambert Deckers of the General and Ex- perimental Psychology Department. Deckers was working on a faculty research grant entitled “Humor as a Function of an Incongruity in an At- tended or Unattended Dimension.” The purpose of the frant was to “describe some of the variables and explain why people laugh and smile and think things funny.” Deckers was granted $435 for the study which began in September of 1977. The money was used to hire students to collect data from experiments. “Humor and surprise seem to cor- relate,” said Deckers. It seems you can surprise without humor, but you can't have humor without surprise.” To illustrate his theory, Deckers per- formed a numner of simple ex- periments, all concerning humor in incongruity. His subjects were studetns of his introductory psychology classes. The experiment involved six cannisters of various weights. One of the cannisters was used as a standard. After lifting each cannister, the subject was then in- structed to lift the standard and tell whether the cannister was lighter or heavier that the standard. The very last cannister might be seven times heavier that the standard. This is the incongruity. Two observers working for Deckers grade the blind- folded subject’s reaction on a scale like this one. 0- No response 1- Smile 2- Smile with teeth showing 3- laugh “The idea behind this experiment is similar to the punch line which is in- congruous to the body of the joke,” Deckers said, “Incongruity happens in theme. In order to understand a joke, one must be attending to the theme.” Deckers began work o the grant in September and hoped to complete work sometime in late March. “Once we get all the data, then we have to make sense out of it,” Deckers said. Deckers and his assistants will have to replicate the experiment to make sure data is reliable.(RLA) Drs. David and Denise Gobble of the Department of Physiology and Health Sciences were involved in a research project to determine why young people begin smoking and how education can be used to curtail the number of new smokers each year. According to their report, there are now 53.3 million smokers in the United States today, and of these, 7.7 million are between the ages of 12 and 20. “We are looking for strong negative pulls such as parents and Fundings for extensive findings peers who smoke,” said the doctors. The research involves questioning of students from the third grade through high school. The attitude, motivation and behavior of the students will be compared and evaluated. The husband and wife team used Muncie school children to aid in their research. “The research will be con- ducted through three different means: (1) a demographic data ques- tionaire (2) a smoking behavior and motivation survey and (3) a measur- ing device known as Vincent's Universal Attitude Scale,” said Gob- bles. One of the main goals behind this research is to change health in- stuction so that it could help reduce the number of new young smokers and help the ones who had already started to quit,” said David Gobble. (GRP) The grant was worth $37,988, but it was not funded by the university. Dr. Byron G. Torke along with Dr. W. Herbert Senft of the Department of Biology are engaged in an outside grant. Torke distinguished between an in- side grant and an outside grant. “An inside grant is a way to promote out- side grants, to bring more acclaim to the university and to attract better students and professors. You can't restrict yourself to inside grants; you just can't expect the university to pay for all your research.” Torke and Senft were engaged in a | study for the state. The project con- cerned lake classification. This pro- ject was funded by the Environmen- tal Protection Agency in conjunction with the Indiana State Board of Health and Indiana’s Department of Natural Resources. The project was entitled “A Presentation and Analysis of Indiana Lake Classification Pro- gram Data.” Which is heavier? Dr. Lambert Deckers of the General and Experimental Psychology Department studied the role of incongruity in humor. In this experiment, subjects were asked to lift containers while blindfolded. The last container would always be lighter or much heavier. (WEV) Behind the faculty and fees: Se EAE EP ESATO UIE TBS TICE SE Re OT The study included observation of 400 Indiana lakes. “We'll be doing several things. We'll look at the lake's condition and make recommenda- tions for future management of the lake. We'll analyze our data and rank the lakes from nutrient poor to enriched waters,” Torke said. We'll also be performing a cluster analysis; this places the lakes in categories. Similar lakes will cluster in terms of data. “The actual work on the grant will begin later in Spring,” Torke con- tinued. In order to prepare for the study, Torke and Senft had been surveying the existing literature on Indiana lakes. Torke listed the characteristics of a poor nutrient lake and a rich nutrient lake. “A nutrient poor lake will have weeds, be aesthetically displeasing, possibly untreated sewage and algea blooms. The nutirent poor lake is slowly turning into a marsh.” “On the other hand, Torke con- tinued, a nutrient rich lake will have cold water fish communities, will be aesthetically pleasing and a high ox- Researching rats, Dr. Peter Van Handel uses an instrument to measure oxygen deterioration from a rat’s muscles during exercise.

Also the shape of the lake is important, Torke noted, a more shallow lake tends to be more productive. ” The money for the grant was spent employing student help, paying com- puter center salaries and paying travel expenses. “The state's overall aim, Torke stated, is to improve total water quality in Indiana.” (RLA) Other than these, there were 179 other faculty research grants award- ed, studied and finally sent for publication to various professional journals. The grants for 1978-79 have already been submittded for inspec- tion by the Office of Research. Next year's grants will be chosen in the Spring. Research grants, whether in- side the university or outside, give the faculty a chance to develop their own knowledge and enrich their pro- fessional interests. This enthusiasm toward research carries over into the classroom, causing the professor to show his genuine interest in his sub- ject to his students. (RLA) Lake classification.

Faced with a tough Mid- Atlantic Conference slate, the Cards approached the season with two senior starters and an unproven pitching staff. Although the team finished at a hard 16-22 record, the year was marked with individual successes like Demetrious Sanders who broke four _ career marks. (MJI) The season could have been better.

At the last minute, however Pennsylvania came to the rescue with an amendment that left Ball State in the upper division. Other close encounters occured with the Cardinal football team. Finishing the season with an 8-2 record the Cardinals saw a MAC title slip through their fingers on the basis of one game, a 14-13 loss to Kent State. Close Encounters of the best kind occured in women’s athletics as the volleyball and softball teams won state titles, with volleyball going to nationals. The women’s lacrosse team continued their winning ways with a 9-0 season compiling a two year record of 18-0.

(SE toa Expensive Pastimes “Prices go up and money goes down so we have to find ways of getting money elsewhere, if the NCAA thing would have gone through, we would have been in trouble.’-Ray Louthen Athletics—When we think of the word we think of basketball games, NCAA champions and outstanding college athletes who excel in what they do. A part of athletics that we don’t think about is the money side of it. Who pays for the new football jersyes, where do we get the money to give athletes scholarships? It doesn’t fall from the heavens or grow on trees you know. The men’s athletic budget runs approximately $1 million per year, the women’s budget is less, but done in much the same manner. This money doesn’t include scholarships, that money comes through the financial aids office. Money is also gotten through various fund raisers such as the Cardinal Varsity Club, who donates approximately $75,000 a year. Other money intake includes gate receipts, parking, concessions, sale of the programs and the Mid-American Conference, for example Ball State received $6,000 when Miami beat Marquette in the NCAA basketball tournament through the MAC set up. In both men’s and women’s athletics the various coaches submit a budget to the athletic directors on how much it will cost to run that sport. The athletic directors then work out a budget that is submitted to the university for approval. According to men’s athletic director, Ray Louthen the money is used “for the entire maintenance operation of the athletic program.” This includes uniforms, travel costs, equipment, maintenance of the buildings and various other things, including coaches salaries. Another expense is the yearly dues to the NCAA which are $500. According to Louthen the budget keeps getting tighter. “Prices go up and money goes down so we have to find ways of getting money elsewhere, if the NCAA thing 212 xx Cost of Sports would have gone through we would have been in trouble.” That one NCAA decision took place in January (1978) when the larger schools in Division I, of which Ball State is a member, wanted to divide into two divisions; Division IA and Division IAA. Division IA, comprised of the larger schools, would then have exclusive television rights. What this would have meant is that schools in Division IAA would lose approximately $30,000 a year. Before voting on the proposal took place at the NCAA convention criteria for membership in Division IA was as follows: I.

However, the stadium won't even hold the entire student body.

It must also average 17,000 in paid attendance at each game over a four year period and have at least a 30,000 seat stadium. With the above criteria Ball State would have lost their television rights since they could not have met the average of 17,000 people per home game nor does our stadium hold 30,000 (the present seating capacity is 16,319). Once at the convention, however, Pennsylvania came to our rescue proposing an amendment to the amendment. The new amendment allowed any school currently in Division I that offered at least 12 variety sports memberships into Division IA. Under the provision Ball State would qualify for membership in the upper division, since it offers 12 intercollegiate sports for men and 11 for women. The amendment was passed with little It’s a foul ball. Char Wells watches the softball bound back behind the plate, as the catcher searches for the ball and the umpire exits the scene.

Dr. John Reno, chairman of the School of Physical Education and Athletics was very pleased with the move. “Ym glad the move was made because it supports the NCAA’s belief that broad-based sports programs are to be desired.” Another very important factor in the cost of athletics is that of scholarships. Currently both mens and womens athletics offers scholarships although there are some differences, basically in how much money is given. (SES) Ball State’s women’s athletic program was expanded this year to include the presentation of grants-in- aid to outstanding women athletes. The 11 women’s intercollegiate teams were provided with 120 half-tuition grants to be distributed among the field hockey, volleyball, basketball, gymnastics, swimming and diving, track and field, softball and lacrosse teams which each received 12 grants, and the golf, tennis, and badminton squads which each received eight grants. The grants, made available by a reversal of a 1977 ruling of the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women which limited scholarships to tuition and fees, are still not satisfying Ball State athletes, but are certainly considered a step in the right direction. Susan Stegan, a junior residing in Baker Hall said that she felt the entire scholarship system was “pretty fair with the exception of the ‘free rides’ given to only male athletes.” While she admits she is grateful for the 2 tuition she receives, and confesses “I’m just glad we've come this far!”, she also adds that “next year will be better.” Another junior receiving aid from the newly established grants is Nancy Schoettmer of Wilson Hall.

Basketball coach Sue C. Tussey, who presented all 12 of her available award to her entire varsity team, decided to do so because she felt that the 12 women who withstood the competitive field of 50 women should be granted awards. Barb Curcio, volleyball coach, says she selected her nine grant recipients on the basis of motivation and drive, while field hockey coach Jackie Schmidt, who also awarded nine athletes with grants, explains that “the athletes I picked were the ones I would put on the field first.” Ball State’s badminton and tennis coach, Mary Visser, had a much simpler technique to the selection of the recipients of grants in her departments; she presented them to players she wanted to return next year. While the current system of financial awards is obviously appreciated by students and faculty alike, there are bound to be more changes in the future as more and more “free rides” are awarded around the country and also as the Equal Rights Movement continues to make advances in the field of women’s sports. (DDP) Men's scholarships are different than those offered to women in that the men can get what is known as a “free Beating the defense, Jon Young spikes the ball over to the I.U. side of the net.

Currently Ball State offers 108 full scholarships to men’s athletics, eight baseball, 15 in basketball, 75 in football, two in golf, four in swimming, two in tennis, eight in cross country and track and four in wrestling. Volleyball also gets seven out of state fee waivers which will pay the difference between in state and out of state fees. All of the scholarships offered by Ball State are well below NCAA standards. According to Louthen the coaches are governed by NCAA rules as to the number of visits and other things concerning recruiting. The athlete is also governed by rules such as grades, and other things decided by the coach. If an athlete violates these rules he can lose his scholarship. However one Ball State athlete said it was unlikely A lone vigil. Standing in the midst of strewn issues of the Daily News a policeman looks at the discarded residence hall floats.

(WEV) anyone would lose his scholarship. “I know guys who are tired of the game but just show up for practice and play around so they can keep their scholarships.” Another misuse of scholarships comes from the free charge of books. Some athletes’ besides charging for their own books also charge so their friends can get their books free. Many athletes come to Ball State for a variety of reasons. For Kelley Marsh it was the money and the fact that he would still be in Muncie. “I stayed because my parents would be able to see me run,” explained Marsh. “Besides that by living at home I get the $400 a quarter that I would use in a dorm.” The majority of the athletes, however, come because of what Ball State has to offer. “I came because of the atmosphere and because of McClain,” said Maurice Harvey, senior. “Out of Purdue and the other schools I was recruited by I felt I would fit best into Ball State’s basketball program,’ explained freshman, Mike Drews. All though participation is important in intercollegiate athletics the money plays an even more important role. As Louthen put it. “If we don’t have money we can't have sports.” (SES) A basketball huddle, held at Morris Bryant brought interested persons from the community and the university together.

However, the 5-1 record put the team in third place. “I'm proud of our kids, though,” McClain defended. “They played their butts off, and it’s a shame to have to play that hard and still lost by one point.” One lost point does not a season make, however.

The Cards bounced back winning their next eight games, however; proving the strength of 11 returning lettermen and a strong back-up on the bench. Although the Kent State bout proved to be the most disappointing, McClain considered the Villanova the most poorly-played game. In _ the Pennsylvania contest, the Cardinals fumbled the ball four times, three of which led to Villanova scores. The Wildcats ran over the Cards, rushing 355 yards. “As a total game, it was the worst we have played in four years,” McClain said. “We did not play intense and emotional football, and we didn't execute offensively or defensively.” Quarterback Wilson attributed the loss to not being prepared. “They came to play and we didn’t,” he said simply.

(WEV) Football HAAS iF 1974, with his Cardinals mired in a 1-3 season, Dave McClain found sudden, almost unbelievable success. His team won five of their next six games to finish with a 6-4 slate. In the next three seasons, he led the Cards to 2 6 wins in 33 outings for a winning percentage of .788. At one point his team held the longest winning streak in the nation (11 games). In 1975, he was named the Mid-American Conference’s Coach of the Year, and in 1976, the Cards became the first non-Ohio team to win an undisputed MAC title. His 1977 Cardinals missed repeating as MAC champs by two points. McClain’s Train became a metaphor for Ball State football, and Cardinal rooters became complacent in their role as luxury passengers. It was inevitable that the former understudy of Woody Hayes and Bo Schembechler would eventually move on to greener pastures. But when, at the end of his seventh Cardinal season, he accepted the head coaching position at the Big Ten’s University of Wisconsin, it caught Cardinal fans and players by surprise. “This is the toughest move I’ve ever had to make,” McClain admitted before his departure. “This has been a tremendous seven years.” McClain’s departure put Athletic Director Ray Louthen busily to work searching for a successor. Obviously the way to please fans used to the McClain style of play was to find a McClain-type coach, and that he did in 34-year-old Dwight Wallace. Wallace had served three years under McClain at Ball State as offensive coordinator. “Dwight was selected from a group of highly qualified candidates,” said Louthen after the appointment. “The deciding factor was that we were seeking some continuity in the program in order to continue the high quality of football to which we have become accustomed.” “Dwight has had the opportunity to coach at all levels of competition and is familiar with the processes and operation of both Ball State and the Mid-American Conference,” Louthen added. football Deep in thought. Football mentor Dave McClain, carrying credentials like 26 wins in 33 outings at Ball State, paced the sidelines often during the BSU games. (MJI) “Every coach sets goals for himself, plots a course on where he’d like to wind up,” Wallace said after his appointment, “and Ball State has always been a natural spot for me. “There have been many people who have helped me mature into a head coach. Dave (McClain) was one of the best. He gave me lots of chances. He had lots of confidence in me and gave me a chance to make mistakes. I owe much to Dave McClain.” Wallace said he did not plan any drastic changes in the Cardinals’ style of play. “My overall approach will be much the same as McClain’s,” he said. “But I am not Dave McClain; I’m Dwight Wallace, and I am an offensive-minded coach and will emphasize a balanced offense with option power pass and counter being emphasized. “When I came her with Dave, we shared a lot of the same ideas. I respect Dave and the way he has done things. We won't make any big changes because my basic philosophy hasn’t changed that much, but there will probably be a few changes just because we are different people.” To Cardinal fans, content to have things continue as they had for the past three-and-a-half years, this was good news. Cardinal players, however, were reserving judgment until after spring practice, at the end of which, Cardinal quarterback Dave Wilson pronounced, “Wallace is a super coach and he has a lot of good points.

Bf que ae , eS : Morning practices drilled fundamentals into the players’ psyches. Kurt Weidenbrenner concentrated on his kick as the Cards prepared for the season finals. Rocky ride of ups and downs Fast hands and feet were essentials for goalie McClements as the team struggled through and-down season. (CAS) It was all uphill for the first ‘10 or 20° minutes, or the first half of the season. But get to those second halves...downhill all the way. One might have compared the '77 soccer season to a roller-coaster: up and down. An underclass-laden team started the season by winning four of the first five games only to run into hard times by losing six of the eight re- maining games. The first soccer game on the Car- dinal schedule was Evansville where the booters were defeated by a score of 3-1. From the disappointing Evansville loss, the Cardinals traveled to play Wabash. There the team tallied a 3-1 victory, the first of the season. In the first half of the Wabash contest the Cardinals launched 20 shots on the 230 x Soccer Wabash goal. “Our shotmaking was just unbelievable in the first half,” Coach Jerre McManama said, praising the team’s effort. “All of our forwards put so much pressure on their goalies. We could have just as easily scored six or seven goals in the half.” Against DePauw, the Cardinals showed their offense by winning 6-0 and recording the first season shut-out. With a three game win-streak on the line the team traveled to play Miami University where the Cardinals won again, this time by a score of 2-1. In the game Milorad Stojic set a career assist record with 24. “T really don’t think of it as my record,” Stojic said. “It is more of a team record. You have to realize so- meone gave me a good pass to set me up; so without the other people out there, I couldn't give assists.” When the Cardinals traveled to In- diana University they faced last year’s runner-up in the NCAA champion- ships and one of the top three 1977 soc- cer teams in the nation. “We're going to have to play ag- gressive soccer for two whole halves,” McManama said prior to the IU game. “This has been my concern all season; we play maybe 10 or 20 minutes, then we let up. If we don't play well, IU will blow us out.” It blew the Cards out, 11-1. Going into the final game of the season, the Cardinals held an even record, only to have a winning season slip out of their grasp by losing the 1977 MEN’S SOCCER ENCOUNTERS season final to Bowling Green, 1-0. “Last year, Coach told us we could schedule easy teams again and have an impressive record or add tough teams to our schedule and take some bumps and bruises for a year or two,” said Cardinal fullback Norm Rubens in reference to the roller-coaster season. In that light, the Cardinals’ final tal- ly of six wins and seven losses, their first losing season in five years, wasn’t disappointing. Despite the up-and- down nature of the season, the booters recorded three shutouts and gained much-needed experience against class oppo sition.

Hugging and screaming with excitement, the “mud puppies,” as they called themselves, ran to the sidelines where they engulfed into their clan Jackie Schmidt, the women’s field hockey coach. “I knew we'd win because of the rain, said Laurie Young. Left behind on their home grounds, the Ohio University field hockey ladies staggered about, slightly amazed. For the first time in years, Ball State defeated them, 2-1, and it happened with two goals in the last ten minutes of the game. “Once we scored that first goal, we had our momentum up,” Young, a sophomore in her second field hockey season, said. Rain poured that day, filling pud- Benchwarming was no easier for Judy Hovermale than playing as each team member felt a special closeness to their fellow “mud puppies” as they took the field.

Although the rain did bless the team with victories at Ohio, Sauk Valley, and Notre Dame, the season ended at seven wins, seven losses, and three ties. “Our team was better than the record showed,” Young said. Hovermale explained, “As a team, we played really good, but we were playing the tougher competition.” Schmidt suggested the problem was due to playing the “good schools” at the beginning of the season, since the Cardinal team lost in September to 1976 Indiana champs, Purdue, and the 1976 Ohio champs, Dayton. New to the field hockey game in 1977, Schmidt was allowed to substitute two players in each of the two 35-minutes halves. However, the only sideline coaching permitted took place during a five-minute half time. “We have to talk a lot among ourselves,” said Hovermale. “We let them know we're with them,” said co-captain Cindy Iv- agnilio. The modified ice-hockey sport, com- plete with sticks, replaces the puck with a croquet-like ball, which leaves the girls’ legs battered and bruised. “That ball is hard,” Young stated. “If it hits you, it hurts.” She said the knees of field hockey players are “one big bruise.” The ball was not the only rough thing on the field in 1977, according to Young. Although she didn’t consider the mud puppies a rough squad, she suggested they played some “really pushy people.” Rough beginnings against the Indiana and Ohio State champs gave the Cards a good idea of the competition they faced. (MEV) Drawn to Schmidt's team were hard-working and dedicated girls, “not high school hot shots,” she said. “They want to work.” Schmidt's mud puppies didn’t know each other too well early in the season. However, as the games passed, the team members grew close. “The team as a whole was so close, and I think that helped,” Young said at the end of the season. “It was great. I really miss it already.” When the mud puppies hugged each other after their season-ending 2-2 tie with Taylor, some tasted bitter mud, while others swallowed a little blood and a few locked bruised knees. But no one really seemed to notice—except maybe Helen Martin, the women’s gym laundry collector, who found a combination of the season’s wears and tears on each uniform. “T thought Mrs. Martin would kill me,” Young said. “My shirts were always so muddy, but that’s the way we like it—in the mud.” (NSD, JEG) 1977 WOMEN’S FIELD HOCKEY ENCOUNTERS Purdue Dayton BALL STATE BALL STATE Southern Illinois BALL STATE BALL STATE Indiana State BALL STATE BALL STATE BALL STATE Indiana Earlham BALL STATE BALL STATE BALL STATE BALL STATE Miami Eastern Michigan BALL STATE Southern IIlinois Kent State BALL STATE Ohio West Virginia Notre Dame BALL STATE BALL STATE Valparaiso Taylor IAIAW BALL STATE Marion HPN WOU NY UOrP NK WON Purdue BALL STATE WON 7, LOST 7, TIED 3 1977 WOMEN’S FIELD HOCKEY DATA Karen Merchant—most goals saved 76 Most shots on goal as compared to opponents 105-98 Field Hockey Team.

They started practicing in September for something that wouldn’t begin until November. They didn’t get a Thanksgiving break and had only a week at Christmas. As far as spring break was concerned, if not for the coal miners strike they wouldn't have had one. Their seasonal goals were to have a winning season, to win the Mid-American Conference (MAC), to beat Miami, and to achieve a team grade point average of 2.7 overall. The Cardinal basketball team fell short of those goals by finishing with a 6-10 record in the MAC and a 10-15 overall slate. On the other hand, the attitude of both coach and players remained positive. “Our program isn’t that far away from teams like Indiana State and Louisville,” said freshman Mike Waiting it out.

One point on which Yoder could not be argued with is that the team worked hard. Hard work began early in September with pre-season condition- ing.

Official prac- tice began October 15. The team would go through drills and scrim- mages for two hours each day until the end of the season. “Practices get monotonous, but you re working towards a goal so you don’t mind,” said freshman Williams. Junior Dave Welmer added, “Breaks are the hardest because we practice twice a day and we practice harder. Once you get used to it, it’s not that bad.” “They (the players) have been ex- tremely loyal to the plan, and it has been a rough one,” said Yoder. “They ve been here every day. I think they realize that the only way they are going to achieve their goal is by hard work and dedication. ” Often, fans were more interested in the halftime highlights and sideline antics than the actual sporting events.

I’m not in- terested in being competitive. I want to win, and that’s the attitude we are getting across to our players. We are going to play as a team, not for one’s self.” Yet despite the pre-season con- fidence, the Cardinals got off to a shaky start by winning their first two games and then losing five in a row. Two of those losses, however, came at the hands of highly-ranked Detroit and Indiana State, and Yoder remain- ed positive. “Our attitude prior to the games against Detroit and Indiana State was very good. We felt we had nothing to lose and everything to gain,” he said. “We'd get off to a poor start, but at certain times we were able to stay with them. I felt our kids learned a lot from those games, despite the losses.” After the Christmas break, the Cards started off well by winning the next two games on the schedule. “Our kids are making the effort. They’re busting their tails until the end of every game. I think we're starting to play with a little more intensity,” Yoder said. But after those two victories, the Another disappointing loss for the Cardinal squad results in spite of efforts of Clement Murrell.

The last half of the season, the Cards won six and lost 10, with one of those losses coming at the hands of ninth-ranked Louisville. “We've lost close games on the road, and that’s indicative of a young team,” Yoder summarized. “But when you look ahead we're encouraged. The game at Louisville benefited us. You can't look at it in any other way It had to help our players.” That is how Yoder viewed the entire campaign: it was one that “helped our players.” It also had highlights of its own, one of which was a thrilling 74- 73 upset of Central Michigan.

However, the Cards had trouble with a lack of height all season. Senior Jane Findling, who scored 27 and 30 points, respectively, in the two opening victories, usually worked with a five or six inch height disadvantage at the center spot. “With our height and the advantage other schools had with scholarships, we ended up better than I thought we would,” said the five-foot-eight senior. Ball State lost to Indiana University, 60-53, for their first defeat on Jan. 24. Tussey said the team committed too many turnovers, but added, “We'll get them in the state.” The Cardinals out- rebounded the Hoosiers, 43-35, overcoming the height problem. Height again became the focal point when Southern Illinois posted a 76-49 win over Ball State. Southern Illinois, possessing four players six-foot or taller, used their advantage to get close shots against the Cards. Bouncing back to make their record 3-2, Ball State out-scored Ohio University, 85-63 on Feb. 4. Findling scored 15 points and junior Cathy “Turtle” Hamilton grabbed 7 rebounds to lead the team. With a goal of getting four players into double figure scoring, Coach Sue Tussey’s crew opposed Miami of Ohio and fell, 83-69. Miami's press, and Ball State's rebounding and turnovers were factors in the Cardinals’ loss, indicated Tussey. The Cards again came _ back, claiming wins over Chicago Circle, 83- 34, and the eventual state champs, Indiana State, 73-71, in perhaps the most exciting contest of the regular Basketball Team.

Ball State opened the Indiana Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women Tournament on March 2, against Purdue, considered the Hoosierland’s top team.

However, the Cardinals lost to Indiana State, who they had beaten at home during the regular season, 82-57. In overall, the state competition was an exciting one for the Cards. “I guess,” said co-captain Lane, “the reason we lost (to Indiana State) was that we had three hard games in a row. As a team, after the Chicago State game, we clicked and played better.” Lane and Findling both stressed the entire squad developed and began to play as a team. “Everyone has to do their share,” said Lane, a forward, while Findling noted, “It’s the team—you have to get this done as a team.” For the season as a whole, senior guard Renee McGaffic said, “It came out pretty well. We competed well, even with the height disadvantage.” The fourth year Cardinal participant indicated the team wanted to win the state badly, but probably was tired after the tough games with Purdue and Indiana. She believes this team possessed more talent than others she had been a member of. “I was very pleased the way it turned out,” said Coach Tussey, who coached the Cards for one year only while Debbie Powers took a one year leave of absence. The Richmond, Ky. native indicated the team worked together, and made her job a very pleasant one. “T’ve coached a lot of teams, but this is the best bunch,” she said. “They're Veteran Lisa Harris cheers on fellow team members.

Other seniors who closed out their careers included forward Carol Kruse, who collected five points and 3.5 rebounds a game; Charlene Wells, a top reserve during the year; McGaffic, who helped direct the team while also stealing the ball 12 times; Lane, who contributed an 8.9 scoring average, and 5.7 rebounds a match, both figures second best on the team to Findling’s. McGaffic, Lane, Findling and Kruse all played four years. Juniors consisted of Fennell, who led the crew with 26 assists and 17 steals while adding 7.6 points a contest; Lisa Harris, who hit .434 from the field helping her six point scoring average; and Hamilton, scored 4.2 points per match, grabbed 5.5 rebounds a game while also playing clutch ball for the Cardinals. Promising freshmen Redbirds included Robbins, who had an 8.5 scoring average for third on the team while hitting .443 of her field goal attempts; Carolyn Beatty, playing the back-up role to Findling, shot a a .435 clip from the field; Jackie Kingma, who saw time at one of the guard positions; and Cindy McKnight, who participated in eight of the team’s 13 games.

When most sports’ seasons end, the athlete hangs up his uniform and rests up before returning to practice again the next year. Not the gymnast, however. He is in conditioning all year round, whether it be with the high bar, rings, side horse, vaulting, parallel bars, floor exercise, or all of the above. And apparently the hours of work pay off in the end—at least they did for the Cardinal 1977-78 gymnastics team. “We would have done better, but some meets were canceled due to snow,” said senior Baron DeVeau of the team’s 4-6 record. Rugged weather conditions forced the cancellation of three meets during the season, and said DeVeau, “We beat two out of those three (teams) in our regional meets.” DeVeau, an all-around gymnast, competed in the NCAA Champion- ships after he tied for third place in the vaulting competition at the NCAA’s Midwest Independent Regional. He and gymnastics coach, Paul Mayer, traveled to Eugene, Oregon in early April for the nationals. “I missed eighth place by one-tenth of a point and tied for tenth place,” the Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey gym- nast explained. In the preliminaries, however, he had come out in an im- pressive third place. Later, DeVeau was named the Cards’ Most Valuable Gymnast for the season. “The big thing that helped Baron was his consistency,” Mayer said citing DeVeau's 9.07 vaulting average. He called DeVeau’s NCAA competition and the Cardinal victory over Indiana the highlights of the season. Ball State hadn’t beaten IU in 23 years, but in their final dual meet of the yea r, the Cards racked up a season- high 206.7 points to narrowly defeat the Hoosiers. The only other meet in which the Cardinals scored over 200 was against Illinois State, when the team totaled 205 to ISU’s 208.9. The gymnastics team voted Baron DeVeau, New Jersey senior, Most Valuable Player for holding a 9.07 average in the 1977-78 season. DeVeau competed in the NCAA championship in Eugene, Oregon. (BEV) 246 Men's Gymnastics “It was a high energy meet,” said all-around freshman Chuck Almand of the IU meet. “We knew we could win.” Almand, a Chamblee, Georgia recruit, was named the Cards’ Most Improved Gymnast for the season. “I think there were quite a few guys in our. gym who could have won that award,” Mayer said. “Chuck has worked very hard, and after putting this year behind him, he should be able to help us in the future.” According to Almand, the team’s record in dual competition was decep- tive because of the caliber of the Car- dinals’ opposition. Mayer, no shirker at scheduling tough opponents, had the Cards meeting such gymnastics powerhouses as Penn State, Indiana State, Indiana, Northern and Southern Illinois, and Illinois State.

You put aside certain hours for certain subjects. According to Graziano, the team had a better general attitude than in previous years. “The freshmen came in with a better attitude and it was transmitted to a lot of upperclassmen, ” he explained. “The team is a bunch of well- mannered guys—polite people,” newcomer Almand said. He mention- ed that they held Halloween, Christmas, and end-of-the-season par- ties. DeVeau felt the gymnasts worked better as a team. “We've always had a rivalry between all-arounds and specialists,” he said, “but this year we conquered it.” Better attitudes made working together more pleasant, but in- dividually the work was still grueling, and blisters, bruises, and skin burns were facts of life for gymnasts.

Things were bound to improve, however, because the Cards did have strength. Much of that strength took the form of co- captains Dave Ulrich and Tim Shaw, who held between them five Ball State records in various events. “We started off slow, but we really got strong before the MAC,” said Shaw. “I can almost tell how well we are going to do at the beginning of the season,” said Coach Doug Morris. “The clock is very objective, and all we can do is work on improving our times. The kids did a good job this year.” The Cards did indeed do a good job in recovering from their dismal start Fighting the clock was a successful battle for the tankmen as thirteen school records fell.

But Morris felt that the loss was good ex- ig: i, perience, especially with the con- ference meet coming up. “When you swim against a team who you know will beat you, you go back to the drawing board and work a lot harder,” he said. Oddly enough, Morris felt the team’s best performances ended in losses to Western Michigan and Cen- tral Michigan. “The meets went down to the last race, and the kids swam super well.” In that light, the season record wasn't really important. What was im- portant to Morris was the team’s per- formance and how they fared at the MAC meet. Shaw agreed. “We did really well, I thought.

Then, in 1974, something strange happened. In the midsts of a 19-game winning streak late in the season, the Cards found themselves totally outclassed by another Midwestern team, the Ohio State Buckeyes. Although Ohio State finished that season with a strong 10-2 showing in the Midwest Intercollegiate Volleyball Association, the win was seen as a fluke—particularly since it didn’t prevent Coach Don Shondell’s spikers from taking their annual trip to the NCAA finals. The next season Shondell was back at the drawing boards, plotting strategies aimed at unseating the California beach bums. But it wasn't to be. In their 10 MIVA conference games from ‘1975 through 1977, the Cardinals were able to beat OSU only once, the victory coming in 1976. In tournament play, the Cards took the Buckeyes three out of four times in 1975 and 76, but have falen victim ever since. A team that was once unhappy playing the bridesmaid to California teams has found itself fulfilling a similar role in its own conference. The Challenge: By 1978, Shondell had had enough. He was tired of being number two. Like Avis, he meant to be number one. The Outcome: Again, it wasn’t to be. The Cards fell short to OSU twice in tournament play and twice in MIVA competition. But it was worse than that. The Cards also fell upset A blocked spike shot by Halbedel and Hanson helped Save one point, but Ohio State still managed to frustrate the Cards’ attempt to retain their position as eastern America’s premier team.

They played listlessly, unimpressively, even though they handled George Williams easily earlier in the season. But the real embarrassments came at the hands of nemesis OSU. At Col- umbus, the Cards were routed 15-13, 15-3, and 15-3, while on their home court they lost 15-8, 15-6, and 15-4. Prior to the first Ohio State match, Coach Shondell remained optimistic about his team’s chances. “We have Inexperience proved costly to the young team. Coach Shenaell was impressed with the “most good athletes weve ever had,” but inconsistency and inexperience showed through.

They are expecting to blow us out.” And, again, the Cards were blown out. Shondell, however, had good reason to be optimistic. The Cards had won their first eight dual matches prior to the OSU game, despite the loss of eight senior lettermen from the 77 team, and Shondell was more impressed with the ‘78 Cards than he had been with any other previous team. “This is the most good athletes we've ever had,” he said at one point. “We have 12 possible starters. I don’t know who number one is and I don’t know who number two is. But there were flaws, one of which was inexperience. It was a young team, and at times it had problems in playing as a team. “We only had one returning starter in Fred Stoops, so we had to spend all of the fall and part of the winter let ting the players learn each other Men's Volleyball 267 Cross-country Rivalries moves on the court,” Shondell said. “That hurt us because we lost a lot of practice time that could have been spent concentrating on various plays.” John Young, one of four seniors on the team, added, “It took almost half of the season before the players felt comfortable playing with each other, and [| think that hurt us.” Thus, even during the team’s season- opening eight-game winning streak, Shondell wasn’t always pleased with the team’s performance. “We started the season not playing very well and beat a couple of teams we probably shouldn't have. I guess our tradition carried us through. We played a lot of our matches very in- consistently.” One such inconsistent performance came against Wright State. Although the Cards routed Wright State by scores of 15-8, 15-5, and 15-4, Shondell was fuming after the match. “I told them it was embarrassing to play the way we were playing. It was embarrassing to the team and to the coaches. ” Only once, however, in non-tourney dual meets did inconsistent play result Battles back with low shots, like Rufener’s helped steer the squad to a good 22-7 mark, which did not meet the expectations of a traditionally excellent team. (WEV) Getting enthusiasm high and keeping “pumped up” was a vital part of maintaining a positive, successful outlook for each game and the season as a whole.

Both the MIVA Classic and the Ohio State Invitational came near the begin- ning of the year, and a shaky Cardinal squad took their bruises. Although they took second in both tourneys, the Cards lost to George Williams (8-15, 9- 15, 15-9, 15-12, and 15-11), Tennessee (15-13, 13-15, and 15-10), and, of course, twice to Ohio State (15-9, 10- 15, and 15-5; 15-6 and 15-6). Nevertheless, Shondell took the seasons many dissapointments in stride, chalking them up to experience and hoping they could be made to pay off in the form of a well-seasoned squad. “We played inconsistently, and The only returning starter to the squad was Stoops, in air, who joined Young, Ketter and Rufener in graduation.

Only four players were to graduate: Jon Young, Dave Ketter, Fred Stoops, and Keith Rufener. Not that Shondell was overjoyed to lose those players. “I’m losing some good seniors, fellows that gave contributions to the program,” he remarked. “I can’t say enough about them. Rufener had a role to play. Very few times did he come in and not help us. Young was a pleasure to have around. He put a lot of life into our team. Ketter probably was our best player at mid-season. He was a good team player and a hard worker. Stoops played good volleyball for us. He had a lot of pressure on him since he was the only starter back from last year.” But, despite the loss of those four players, Shondell probably blew a secret sigh of relief. This was a good season to have behind him. After all, even Hertz had to struggle to get to the top. (DCD, SES) Good prospects for a next year were evident to Coach Shonaell, who will lose four players. The season began with only one starter returning for competition.

The women spikers benefited from a strong nucleus of players led by senior tri-captains: Debbie Buchanan, Yorktown; Judy Sheets, Roanoke; and Braden. The tri-captain system designated a different captain to lead the team during competition before each match. According to Curcio, all three of the spikers, four-season veterans, had the ability to take com- mand in any given situation. “We fit together pretty well,” Braden said. As a complete team, the Cardinal women spikers were a mixture of ex- perience and youth. Curcio added the proper elements of speed and ag- gressiveness, and congealed the mix- ture needed to bring home a winner. And that’s exactly what Curcio and the spikers made of themselves— winners. “We worked as a unit,” Braden said. “Everyone was fantastic.” (DPB, JEG, SES) Compiling a regular season record of 26-5 took not only team work, but also spots of strong ind ividual effort.

The women’s team won the Ball State Invitational with a total of the 234, breaking six school records during the meet.

They were soaked with a combination of the rain and the trickling sweat that dripped from their exhausted bodies as they jogged across the 18th green. Water puddles splashed about their feet as they raced for the 6%-mile finish line where, dead tired and drip- ping wet, they finally stopped. It was the scene of the Ball State cross country meet with Eastern Michigan at the Muncie Lakeview Country Club. Despite the dreary weather, the Cardinals won the con- test by a score of 28-29, 282 yx Cross Country At the meet with Eastern Michigan, as well as throughout the season, two sophomore runners, David Kelley and Kelley Marsh, stood out. Kelley set a new course record at the EMU meet with a time of :31.13. Marsh, the 1976 NCAA indoor 1,000-meters champion slowed by a foot injury all year long, overtook an Eastern Michigan runner in the last 500 yards of the race to secure sixth place for himself and give the Cards the extra points needed to win. But the season does not one match make, and the Cardinals ended the year with an unimpressive 2-4 record. Hopes for a better season were dashed early by the loss of number-two runner Dave Kemps and senior Bill Mecee. Even with the loss of Kemps and Mecee, the remaining Cardinal run- ners continued to run regardless of their own aching muscles and tired bodies. And Mother Nature didn’t help much, casting the season in sticky, sunstroke humidity or else torrential downpours, with occasional snow flur- ries and bitter cold thrown in for good measure. Such weather extremes took its toll on the runners. “It’s hard to go out and run when it’s raining or really cold,” said Marsh, who ran seven or eight miles a day during the entire year. “When “A sport of pain and physical discomfort” was one description of cross country.

It’s not enjoyable to go out when you lose, but we have to keep working at it.” But even if Rickel didn’t throw in the towel, he might have. The horrible winter left equally horrible playing conditions on practice diamonds, and time and time again Rickel had to postpone batting practice and drills because of wet fields. One thing the weather didn’t prevent, however, was the pitchers from getting their throws in, and, as the Cards left for their an- nual Florida road trip in late February, Rickel, cautiously, pro- nounced them ready. There had been better Florida trips in the past, but few had been more en- couraging than this one. Although the Cards won only half of their eight games, both their run production and pitching were impressive as they outscored their opposition, 41-24. Returning from Florida, however, meant returning to bad weather, unplayable fields, and canceled prac- tices, and this showed when the regular season began in late March. In March and early April, the Cards had 286 yw Baseball 14 games to prepare for MAC play. Of those games, six were canceled because of bad weather and five were lost because of rusty play. Despite this, Rickel remained undaunted. “If we were playing all of our games and practicing every day, I'd be disap- pointed. You can’t expect a great deal if you can’t practice or play because it’s pretty hard to stay in the grove and it shows,” he said. It did not show, however, during a mid-April trip to South Bend where the Cards shut out Notre Dame's Fighiting Irish twice by scores of 2-0 and 8-0. “I’m extremely pleased with our pitching performances,” said Now this won't hurt a bit.

He hit the ball good today, too. If he keeps it up, he’ll be a force other teams will have to reckon with.” After the Notre Dame games, however, the Cards’ season was all downhill. Most of the remaining games were against tough MAC com- petition, against whom the Cards finished 4-10 with four cancellations. Against non-conference teams the Cards performed slightly _ better, finishing the season with a 16-22 overall ledger. It was hard on the players, but they learned a lot this season and I’m proud of the way we played,” Rickel summarized. “It was our inexperience that hurt us.” But it was a season in which the young Cardinals gained the thing they needed most: experience.

The new look was a new head coach, Judy Raney, and in her first year of oaching she led her team to a 15 win- even loss season and the first IAIAW itle in Ball State history. 41 Immediately upon assuming her iboaching duties, Raney was impressed by the squad’s talent, and although ‘Adverse weather conditions hindered eam practices, she permitted herself a ealthy optimism about the team’s ‘Phances for a good year. “The only real isadvantage that the team has is the jack of outside practice that we have ‘been able to hold due to the weather. We have a lot of individual talent to ‘Work with,” she said. “If I can get this alent to gel, we have the potential for fh great season.” } Like most first-year coaches, owever, Raney tempered her op- imism. “I am not too familiar with the eams in the area,” she said. “After I jtake a better look at them I will know Detter how we stand.” | The Cardinals opened the season splitting a twin bill with Indiana State, osing the fi rst game 5-6 and winning he second game 9-5. After that the ardinal’s winning ways continued ompiling winning streaks of five yames twice in the season. The Car- dinals finished the season on a winning ote by defeating Indiana by a score of 5-2. After that win all that remained as the state tournament and Raney as hopeful of her team’s chances in he tournament. “As I look at it, I know that we can _ beat the other teams because we have done it before. It’s just a matter of get- ting the job done.” And getting the job done is exactly what the Cardinals did in the double elimination tourney. The Cards won their first contest by beating Taylor 17- 2, then the Cards i to IU by a score of 10-2. After that the Cards defeated St. Mary's 10-0, Taylor 6-1, Indiana State 4-2 and then the Cards defeated Indiana twice by scores of 5-3 and in the championship game by a score of 9-2. Raney was excited by her team’s championship. “The girls played fantastic ball and I’m very proud of them. Even after they lost to IU they stuck with it and that’s why we won.” By winning the state tournament the Cards were eligible to compete in the regional tournament though they did not fare as well. In the double elimina- tion tourney the Cards lost to Ohio State 5-2 then beat Morris Harvey University by a score of 4-0. Michigan State, however, proved to be the thorn in the Cardinal side as they defeated the team by a score of 3- 2. Raney had nothing but praise for her team though after the loss. “The game was super-tight and the girls did a good job. They have nothing to be ashamed of. The girls played well all season long and I’m pleased and very proud of the girls. They did a good job and winning the state tournament was something they can be proud of.” Women’s softball is as rough and exciting as men’s basketball.

Softball yx 289 One word for it: “Super” “Even though wrestling is an individual type of sport, all the guys came through to make a good team effort. Super. That’s the word Coach Pete Samuels used to describe the 1977-78 wrestling season. Although the Cardinal wrestlers finished with a mediocre 5-6 slate, they excelled in tournament play by winning the Anderson Invitational and placing second in the Mid-American Conference Championships. “A lot of people came through for us,” said Samuels. “Even though wrestling is an individual type of sport, all the guys came through to make a good team effort.” Dennis Lewis, who finished 24-2 for the Cards, said that though the team goal was to win the MAC, each wrestler also had his own personal goals. “My goal was to do better than the year before,” he said. Though wrestling is usually seen as a sport of muscle and brawn, Lewis said it was just as much a sport of mental preparation. “You have to get yourself psyched up,” he said. “Mental preparation is very important.” Individual mental and _ physical preparation paid off not only for in- dividual team members but for the team as a whole. “We just try to do the best we can, and Coach Samuels works to help us improve,” said Bob Russo, who finished 22-9 on the season. “It all came together for the MAC Cham- pionships.” The Cards finished second at the MAC meet with a total of 54 points. MAC champs for Ball State were Lewis, at 134 pounds, and Al Mann- ing, at 177 pounds. Brian Thomas, 190 pounds, earned a second-place finish. As a result, all three qualified for the NCAA Wrestling Championships, although none of them managed to place. “I was pretty nervous at nationals.” said Lewis. “It was a lot different. Everyone was ready and I wasn't. But Samuels was happy merely to have three of his wrestlers invited to nationals. For him, it capped off an ex- tremely successful campaign. “Everyone gave it their all and worked hard, and consequently they did well. We finished the highest we ever have in the MAC,” he said. “Coaching these guys was a very pleasant experience for me. There’s only one word for it: super.” (SES) A tangled takedown.

Among the many experienced players returning from the previous year’s third-place team in the Mid-American Conference were four lettermen. Nevertheless, Coach Bill Richards exuded a cautious brand of optimism. “We're not going to be exceptional, but we're not going to be bad either. If we get some things to fall in our favor and cut down on injuries, we could have a good year,” he said at the season’s beginning. “On the other Singles and doubles competition was highlighted by Dave Ballingall’s play. He had a solid 16-13 record in singles play for the season. (CAS) Men's Tennis hand,” he continued, “if we have in- juries or if some players don't come through for us, we'll have a difficult season.” As it turned out, the season fell somewhere in the middle of Richards’ forecasts. The team’s 17-10 record for the year was good without being ex- ceptional, but its play in the MAC championships was disappointing. The season began with a trip to Florida over the spring break. There the Cards hit above the .500 mark by winning three of their five matches, and Richards expressed pleasure with the trip. “We've gotten some pretty consis- tent play out of our top four players,” he said. But he added, “The key to our Top individual record for singles play was Steve Rothstein’s 17-10 mark, while he combined with John Wood for a 13-8 record in doubles competition.

Their winning ways continued with 11 victories in the next 18 matches. Nine times during the course of the season the Cards routed their opponents by scores of 9-0. Despite their ability to occasionally outclass opponents, however, the Cards were only able to finish fifth in the MAC championships at the season's end.

It was always some of us were up and some of us were down.”—Coach Mary Visser n any sport you must be consistent to win. This is the key to success,” said Coach Mary Visser, attempting to explain the women’s tennis team’s dismal 3-8 record for the 1978 season. Consistency, or the lack of it, was just one of many problems that plagued the Cardinal netters throughout the season. “It seemed that everyone had their own personal time of being up and down,” Visser continued. “We were never up or down together. It was always some of us were up and some of us were down.” But inconsistency was only part of the team’s problem. It’s not easy to play consistent tennis when your opponents are better players. “I scheduled some of the best teams in the Midwest,” Visser said. “We played a lot of teams that were above our caliber.” Among those teams were Purdue, Eastern Kentucky, Western Kentucky, Murray State, and Indiana, all of whom blanked the Cardinals, 9-0. “We just played teams that were tougher,” said Nancy Schoettmer, a third-year varsity netter. But, according to Schoettmer, the problem was more than the tough competition.

Said junior team member Cary Hungate, “He (Yestingsmeier) says were one of the corniest. (Scott) Steger always gets in trouble. But maybe we're the best.” Yestingsmeier agreed, especially on the last point. “This is one of the best teams I’ve ever coached. We were disappointed by our second-place finish in the MAC, but we were a real strong team. “We had nice, steady performances by everyone, and that showed in our tournament victories. I’m proud to be considered one of the top teams in the Midwest.” If they weren't the top team in the Midwest, they were certainly Indiana’s best. Of the Cardinal’s seven tourna- ment wins, five were in their home state. These included: The Indiana Central Invitational, the DePauw In- vitational, and the Franklin Invita- tional. The tournament of the year, however, was the Mid-American Con- ference Championship. According to Hungate, the entire season was geared toward that event. “You can lose every tournament you play in, but how you finish in the MAC is all that matters,” he said. “It’s something we work towards all season long.” At the midpoint, the Cards were matched up in a three-way tie with Northern Illinois and Ohio University, but they fell short on the tourney’s se- cond 36 holes and fell to second. It was the play of Steger, a senior, that kept the Cards in the running for the MAC crown. On the first 36 holes, which were played at Athens, Ohio, Steger played well enough to be tied for fifth in the tourney.

Men’s Golf xx 299 “I believe we had a successful season considering the youth of the team,” Mindy Kenoyer, the squad's top golfer, said. For the second year in a row, the Cardinal women’s golf team went undefeated in dual meets.. Unfortunately, there was only one dual meet and eight competitive. tournaments in the 1977-78 schedule for a young squad and a new coach. In the lone dual meet, their first meet of the season, the Cardinals had to fight not only Indiana State but 15 mile-per-hour winds. Despite a short delay at the start of the match due to a light rain and the brisk winds, the women fared well, drubbing the Sycamores 343-404. But the soon-to- come tournament play brought the women back to earth. At the Illinois State Tournament, they finished 16th out of 18 teams. The same fate awaited them at the Purdue Invitational. (11th out of 16 teams), the Indiana Invita- tional (19th out of 20 teams), and the MAIAW Tournament (14th out of 16). Had the season ended there, it would have been a dismal year indeed. But a reprieve was in order; for the first time ever, the Cardinals com- plemented their fall schedule with four tournaments in the spring, and although the women failed to place higher than seventh in any of the tourneys, the improvement over their fall play was noted. Despite the poor showing, first-year coach Walt Harvey was satisfied with the team’s play. “I believe we had a successful season,” he said. “Before the season, the girls got together and made a set of team goals that they wanted to accomplish during the course of the season, and I am pleased to say that all of those goals were accomplished.” Those goals were: to finish above last in each tournament; to be united as a team; to improve on the previous years record; to have spirit whether Improvement was the key for the first-year Coach Harvey's young team.

Those were modest goals, but suffi- cient for a young, inexperienced team. “I believe we had a successful season considering the youth of the team,” Mindy Kenoyer, the squad's top golfer, said. To Kenoyer, even the low finishes in tournaments were bearable. “There were a lot of good teams (in tour- naments) which made us work harder than we would have against an easier schedule.” Kenoyer, a freshman, had the lowest average on the team. She plac- ed first in the dual meet against In- diana State, 21st in the Illinois State Tournament, and 132nd in the Purdue Invitational, the highest finishes on the year among the Cardinal women. The play of young golfers like Kenoyer and the valuable season that came with playing an _ extended schedule against tougher competi- tiongave Harvey reason to be op- timistic about the season. And then there’s the matter of the team’s winn- ing streak in dual competition.

The women had very little trouble with their competition, winning nine straight games and shut-out Oberlin College 9-0 and Ohio University 16-0. It was a well-kept secret, but 1978 saw the start of a dynasty at Ball State. Almost unnoticed, the Cardinal lacrosse team opened their season on the tail of a perfect record the previous year and kept their winning streak in tact. By season’s end, they had won 18 straight games and outscored their opponents with 204-80 total points over that same period. Coach Jackie Schmidt had high expectations for her team at the beginning of the season. “I think we can do very well this season, as good as last year. We have a very strong team. With a couple of seasons like last year we can strat to build a winning tradition at Ball State.” The women had very little trouble with their competition, winning nine straight games and_ shutting out Oberlin College 9-0 and Ohio University 16-0. Schmidt was excited by her teams success for the year. “We had more good games than bad. The Dennison matches were fairly close, (8-6 and 9-8), but the girls worked hard and just didn’t give up. We were equally matched teams and that’s what made it so close. Overall, I think they did very well this season. I’m extremely pleased with the team’s performances and very excited about our undefeated season,” said Schmidt with a smile. “The competition in the Midwest is not as high as in the East, but all the teams are very competitive and I think we have a very exceptional team,” she added. At the Midwest Lacrosse Tournament Ball State defeated Dennison by a score of 9-8 and Wooster College by a score of 9-3. As a Easy does it.

Leading scorers for the team were Me Esa Withered, with 33 goals, followed by Anderson with 28. Johnson also recorded 90 goalie saves for the team.

For the gifted athlete, Ball State offered an extensive intercollegiate athletic program. For the less-gifted or semi-active athlete, Ball State offered an equally extensive program in intramurals. Intramural competition ranged from body building to basketball and was open to virtually every student. Whether they competed individually or represented independents, residence halls, or Greeks, students participated competitively and sometimes fiercely toward the winning.

The buildings themselves perhaps lacked the comfort of Mom’s back porch; fall quarter opened with no curtains for more than half the rooms, and starched white sheets had to suffice. Dorm life was, at times, a hassle when the decibel level rose as Little River Band sang “Happy Anniversary, Baby,” and echoed off the next wing wall. Being a “dorm rat” meant coping with 4 a.m. February fire drills and continual natural yogurt and fr. fr. gr. (french fried grouper). However frustrating, the scale balanced evenly with a number of reasons to stay in a hall. It was cheap, and the food; however bland, was always prepared. There was always Ruined by rains shortly after the 7 AM judging, Johnson Complex’s homecoming display was awarded first prize. The Complex was known throughout campus for its “Kazoo” spirit block, winning several spirit sticks. someplace to go, or something to do, when your roommate slept, studied or had a date. Ball State furnished a variety of liv- ing options with its 34 halls; from single-sex housing to brother sister halls to the co-ed living option, each hall had a character formulated by its own particular sector of the university population. Living in a residence hall gave over 6,800 students the op- portunity to see lives behind the faces they passed daily at the scramble light. Nine of the halls were usually categorized by one of two stereotypes: nunnery or convent. Wilson Hall in Johnson Complex and all eight halls in DeHority and Woodworth Complexes, struggled to establish strong hall governments and active programming, despite a large freshman population and many Greek-oriented activities. “It was like this,” said Indianapolis senior, Cathy “Smats” Mattingly, Trane Hall president, “We just did the best we could with what we had.” could with what we had.” Tots as well as teenage brothers and sisters crowded resident halls during special Little Kin Weekends. Wilson Hall’s February Bingo was one of many activities, including talent shows, picnics, and movies held for visitors. Close quarters Girls rebelled against the nunnery image and just tried to make their halls the best. Carrie Ahrendts, Beeman Hall freshman from New Palestine, was crowned Miss Watermelon Bust 1977 amidst much confusion and a Mr. Plum Balls contest. Beeman Hall also won the overall first place trophy in the women’s division of Theta Chi Tug-of-War. A central location was what promp- ted the women of Crosley Hall to re- main in the hall. And many “convent” residents felt a strong sense of unity. “Rogers Hall was a real community. Girls got along really well, and the hall Through a variety of experiences and activities, the nine single-sex halls attempted to break the stereotypes, and make their halls as good as home. Brother sister halls shared friend- ships and fire drills. Having members of the opposite sex just downstairs, upstairs or next door proved to be the basis for the family atmosphere found in brother sister halls. Residents of brother sister halls cheered at football games together, got busted for drink- ing together, studied together, and shared a common dining service. “Botsford and Swinford Halls had a family atmosphere,” stated sophomore Marcia Ressler, Dayton, Ohio. “It was a lot of fun, because the people were became close,” said Williamsburg junior Judy Ward. Freshmen with late housing deposits were surprised with study lounges and sorority suites as temporary housing. Peggy Little and LeChris Carter make do with homemade closets in their sorority suite home in Wood Hall. With no brother hall to share activities, Rogers residents were involved in campus-wide events.

Halls yx 315 Close quarters very friendly and willing to help others. There were a lot of honor students living here, and we had the highest G.P.A. on campus. Almost everyone was active, unified and con- tributed to the effort.” She continued, “There's a strong sense of pride. We were involved in the community as well as Ball State. Brady Hall tried to prove that the sun could tan in winter quarter when they sponsored the first annual Ms. Snow Queen contest. Fifteen Brady girls vied for the title in swimwear while standing in deep snow. Members of the varsity football team judged the contest. Many women, however, did choose to live in and return to those nine halls. “T didn't like the connotations I got from living there,” said Columbia City freshman Jill Hoffman, Wood Hall resident. “People think its a lot worse than it was. I wouldn't live anywhere else.” Adjacent La Follette Complex hous- ed four pairs of brother sister halls. As one of the United States’ largest residence hall complexes, LaFollette housed countless personalities. From Clevenger’s Bike-a-thon team to Edward’s Hose Kings, each hall reflected a comaraderie only “Laugh- a-lot” residents understood. Mysch Hall president Mary Mackin South Bend sophomore, termed the Mysch Hurst Hall combination “a little community.” Hurst Hall director Bruce Storey agreed with Mackin. “The year before last we had a lot of party people, but the atmosphere changed considerably. We won Campus Chest (doubles division) and the RHA Christmas bulletin board contest. We've had a “Sexy Legs” contest with activities with Mysch that have been well-attended and made a lot of money.” Knotts Edwards was much the same as companion La Follette Halls. “Neither Knotts or Edwards were known for scholars, politicians, or athletes, but most of the residents seemed to enjoy living here,” said stu- dent staff Gail Waldron, Indianapolis Loaded down with as much as she can carry, Missy Wickes makes the move into Mysch Hall.

But her brother John might have a different attitude. Close quarters junior. New Castle senior Larry Sells staffed. Edwards and supported brother sister living. “We had a lot ot crazy people, and everybody liked to study as well as party, which is impor- tant. Our relationship with Knotts was really great, and the guys always seem- ed to enjoy doing things with the residents.” Brayton Clevenger Halls also hae: ie shared a special feeling. “Brayton and Clevenger stuck together all the time. Our staff team worked together, we had the same policies, and shared duties. Both halls had quite a few talented people, and we shared joint coffeehouses where they performed,” said student staff Jean Wilfong, Green- field senior. Noyer Complex consistently had a high request for new residents, pro- bably because of its central location. But programming and parties, both geared to strong male-female relation- ships, may have had something to do with it. “A lot of people requested Creating clever desk decorations was one of the most pleasant duties of the desk staffs in Woodworth complex. The colorful decorations brightened the appearance of the hall and lifted the spirits of the residents. Halls yx 319 Close quarters Noyer because of the convenient cen- tral location on campus. Most of the people live here for more than one year. The atmosphere’s not too rowdy, but also not too serious,” said Sarah Farney, student staff and Indianapolis junior. Studebaker West housed four brother sister halls. Joint hall councils from Palmer Davidson and Painter Whitcraft attempted to make high rise living easy with activities such as Palmer’s Bleached Bone Follies and Whitcraft’s Winter Weekend. Palmer has also gained notor iety for its annual Christmas parade of sixth floor guys-dressed as Santa, elves, and reindeer-throughout the dining ser- vice. Brother sister living brought students closer-most of the time legal- ly, during hours. But the co-ed lifestyles found members of the op- posite sex sharing squabbles in laundry rooms at 4 a.m. A smiling jack-o-lantern graced the lobby of Elliot Hall during the spooky Halloween season. Halloween was one of Ball State’s favorite traditions many students went trick or treating and there were numorous parties.

As a throwback to the rowdy 60s, Wagoner Complex had long been labeled the Zoo, and president Mitch Ripley, Plymouth sophomore, said, “People calling us a Zoo really makes me mad. Last year we fought to get rid of the Zoo image. The girls really have settled the guys down.” Movies like The Harrard Experiment put ideas in people’s minds that living in a co-ed hall was one con- stant orgy. But surprisingly, co-ed residents found that 24-hour living, complete with curlers and raunchy gym trunks, cut down on the hanky- panky and stressed a family at- mosphere. Ripley believed that Wagoner was, however, “more romantically inclined than other co-ed Resident hall occupants participated in the homecoming kickoff games in October.

Tissue stuffing became an evening event in dorm lounges as decorations were done inside. (SED) | t Close quarters werent enough men to fill the hall. Subsequently, almost everyone was new to the hall. Indianapolis freshman Charlie Hamrick served as president. “This was the first year for the hall to become co-ed and it was like breaking ground to get things going. I think the most effective thing that we did was get a brand new council going from scratch,” he said. Residence Halls (NACURH) con- ference in May 1977 at Oklahoma State University, the year was spent by preparing for a conference of over 600 people from all over the United States. Menk and Hurlbut Halls, in Studebaker East, spend their third year as co-ed halls working on many goals.

(CAS) Halls x 327 Close quarters hall unity as an ideal of Menk’s council. “The coucil effectively tried to improve interaction among the residents and successfully completed the wishes of residents many times in terms of what they wanted to see done,” she commented. Hurlbut Hall attempted to get more involved in campus-wide activities, and also promoted inner-hall ac- tivities. Residents began friendships early in the year after a series of floor open houses, then proceeded to win the singles division of Campus Chest. A Hurlbut formal dance in February broke the monotony of winter quarter, and got residents together in an off- campus atmosphere. By combining social life and homework, the five co-ed halls found that life with over 200 brothers and sisters made the college experience like family. All 34 halls had a council which governed social and _ educationai functions for the hall. In turn, the Residence Hall Association, consisting of one representative from each hall, served as the governing body for all halls. Promoting activities, developing hall leadership, and solving problems within the halls were the major goals of RHA. On-Campus Days and Goofy Olympics gave hall residents the chance to participate in discos, coffeehouses, and games like TV’s Almost Anything Goes. RHA sponsored an awareness workshop in May at the stadium picnic grounds, which gave all new officers the chance to explore and develop leadership potential. When RHA first proposed a “Do it in the dark” energy conservation pro- gram late fall quarter, most people ig- nored it. But in March, when energy conservation became an_all-too-true reality RHA led halls in “doing it in the dark.” Residents turned off lights and stereos and turned on tenacity by doing without the little luxuries. Perhaps RHA’s greatest accomplish- ment was the hosting of a successful national conference in May at Johnson Up to her neck in chicken wire, Lafayette senior Beth Landis pitched in and helped build the Burkhart Hall Homecoming decoration. The chicken wire became a fat lady as a part of the circus theme. (SED) 328 Halls Edwards Hall.

Its philosophy is to inform the entire community about what black students and blacks in the community of Muncie are doing, says Barrett. “BLACK VOICE made Black Student Association more visible to the campus,” he says, summing up the year. “Basically, it accomplished what it set out to do—increase participation and inform the University.” “IT can understand why student apathy is here,” Paul says emphatically. “Students complain...but no one listens.” Paul is not an insensitive organization man. He listens to students and is realistic in his view of student life. After winning the run- off election, reporters bounced on the newly initiated SA President, asking, “What is the first thing you are going to do now that you are President?” “Get caught up in my classes,” replied Barrett. Balancing academic responsibilities and social involvements is crucial for a successful, and memorable, college experience. “I think in order for you to be successful academically, you must have a successful social life,” concluded Barrett after nine quarters at Ball State. He is pursuing a political science major with photojournalism and history minors. “Getting involved with organizations will help you better work with future employers and employees,” he continued. “social goes hand-in-hand with academic.” Referring to his involvements (past Black Student Association president and treasurer, Indiana Student Association, Student Welfare Council, Cardinal Roundtable, and present SA president, to name a few), Barrett says, “This is life itself. It’s what we are trying to get out of the books.” Paul, reflecting on the student’s role, says: “Students are prisoners of time. They must have a reverence of time to accommodate the business at hand.” One thing Paul is adjusting to since he took office is being punctual. He is notoriously five minutes late. When he is engrossed in one thing, he says he hates to put it down to rush off to another appointment. Meetings, appointments, and interviews consume much of his day. But they don’t seem to zap him of energy. “It’s something I enjoy,” he says. “It’s a learning process—smooth and on-going.” Paul has noticed a vast improvement in his communication skills. “In this position, you have to listen to people to know what they want,” he says. “You can’t judge people by stereotypes and prejudices.” Whether he is casually conversing with a friend enroute to class; whether he is delivering an emotional speech; or whether he is writing a dynamic editorial—Paul Barrett’s words flow with unique rhythm and soul. “Be it resolved that everyone will unite and strive for unity with one goal in mind. This includes individuals, groups, organizations, administration and faculty. The time has come for us to get our act together. We are an entity striving for one goal...No longer shall we separate ourselves into warring factors destroying each other. No longer shall we be separated. The time has come to unite,” Paul said in his New Year’s resolution for the campus. Campus leader. Politician. Philosopher. Student. Paul Barrett is all of these. But moreover, he is an individual. “If I can’t be myself, then I can’t be at all,” he said. Co-workers describe Paul as a tactful diplomat and master of communication, who has a natural sense of humor and wit with one pecularity, though: he does not own a pair of jeans. Although Paul feels comfortable in the public eye, he said there is a certain amount of tension. “Everything I say is public,” he stated. “My private life is tremendously affected, especially with young ladies. I go to dances. ’'m human. I’m capable of making mistakes; I’m capable of loving. People even find it strange for me to study... “Tm not the same old Paul Barrett,” he said. “I’m President Paul Barrett, now.” But underneath that image, there breathes a very strong and authentic self, who has the power and the guts to initiate organization, sensitivity, responsibility, and new ideas into action. “All you have to do,” Paul says, “is take the positive step forward.” (MMH) At a protest in front of the Ad Building, May 5, Paul Barrett marches for control of student funding with members of the Student Association.

Actor, ApS costume designer, and student, Gindhardt is truly the theatre's ‘jack- of-all-trades,’ as well as an adept businessman. Businessman? Right! Far from the flowery actor lost in a world of make-believe, Gindhardt realizes the harsh realities of the ‘show-biz’ world ‘Theatre is a craft and a business before it is an art,’ the Muncie senior emphasized. ‘Nobody is in the theatre to starve. Like any craft, it takes years of serious study. ‘Actually, theatre is one of the riskiest businesses along with economics and politics,’ he continued. ‘It takes millions to produce a single play that may close.’ Although talented at acting (he has eed in numerous campus productions as well as for the Muncie Civic Theatre and Newman Center), 380 x Personalities Far from the flowery actor lost in a world of make-believe, Gindhart _ realizes harsh realities of the ‘show biz’ world.

At other schools, you're lucky to get a walk-on part by your senior year.’ Adept at several different aspects of the stage himself, Gindhardt urges beginning theatre majors to ‘find the area you re best at and stick with it.’ It may not be the area you most want to do,’ he pointed out, “but you have to just be happy with what you can do in the theatre.’ Going over the steps for an upcoming dance final in his head, Gindhardt softens, and speaks of a genuine love for the theatre. ‘The business aspect doesn’t belittle the fact that acting is an art.

He came to Ball State as a visiting photo journalism lecturer. He also taught two beginning photography classes plus an advanced class. ‘I taught photography,’ said Costa,’ but there was one difference which I thought was a good practice at Ball State. I had not taught photography per se but everything that was related to photo journalism. From the start, the students thought in terms of communication rather than just pictures being snapped.

Costa also approved of Ball State students who majored in journalism being required to take a photography class. ‘I had travelled all over the world, and there was no place like Indiana. The people in Indiana and Ball State welcomed me with such warmness and friendliness.’ Costa said. Costa was well aware of the criticisms editors had made towards the photographers. He believed photographers had to be as aware of the news as editors so that an assignment would not come as a surprise and the cameraman understood what the editor required. Costa, referred to as ‘Mr. Press Photographer,’ started his photographic career in 1921 with the New Soak Morning World at a time when his colleagues had been so competitive. He spent more than fifty years, in which he led and guided his fellow press photographers toward respectability, responsibility, and professionalism. He was editor of the ‘Complete Book of Press Photography’ and the author of ‘Beginners Guide to Color Photography.’ He had won numerous awards. The National Press Photographers Association gave him an award for his expertise in the photography field. One such expertise was when Costa used multiple-flash on a ship. He was a member of the guiding faculty of Famous Photographers School, located in Westport, Connecticut. Since 1970 he has been owner and president of ‘Photography for Publication,’ as well as lecturer and consultant.

The University Senate was an asset to Ball State and the expertise of each member showed that any situation had been handled without co nfusion. 381 Personalities +x Enthusiasm edged humor Dr. Anthony Edmonds is a history professor here who believes students should have “fun” in class and “enjoy what they're doing.” And he believes in “spicing things up” in his class, always striving to inspire and teach students through his enthusiasm. And probably most of us wish we had more professors like him. “I want students to like what they're doing,” said Edmonds. He takes an enthusiastic approach to his subject matter and tries to use humor that is relevant and pertaining. His tone of voice seldom remains the same for long in his lectures. And he makes use of quotes from funny and interesting passages in other references to prevent monotony. “T can’t stand still,” Edmonds said about his teaching style. He is almost constantly moving up and down aisles, sitting down, standing up. And he claims to “fall down at least once a quarter. I once bumped into an empty chair and apologized to it,” he said. But the history professor has not always wanted to teach history. He Edmonds takes an enthusiastic approach to his subject matter and tries to use humor that is relevant and pertaining. went to Yale University to study law. Becoming acquainted with history was purely by chance. Upon filling out his schedule one quarter, Edmonds was torn between a French history or political science elective. So, he flipped a coin. He had never taken a history class in college, and probably never would have—if not for a flip of the coin that turned up heads, in favor of the history class. Once in this class, the Yale graduate became so inspired by his professor’s enthusiastic manner of teaching, that he dropped law and took up history. “He liked what he was doing, loved the subject, and communicated well,” said Edmonds about this professor at Yale. “This professor inspired me, particularly by his enthusiasm.” And Edmonds, who has been a professor in the history department here since 1969, has since then had no regrets. Edmonds strives for a warm, friendly, equal relationship with his students, denouncing those professors who seem to strive for “ego- satisfaction.” He is often seen at the Student Center Tally or the Village Chug, sitting and talking with students. “I want them to like me personally,” said the history professor about his students. “If I could teach students to like history without liking me, or even hating me—I would.” But he feels students must first feel good about him and his enthusiasm for the subject, before they can feel good about the class. And that is his ultimate goal: to help students like history and get them to think about the world around them. Long hours of hard work kept Tracy Warner in the office of the Daily News, which he edited during the year and in the summer as well. (CAS) Daily News Digger Warner had set two major goals during his term as editor of the Daily News, both of which he has accomplished. Tracy Warner had been active with the newspaper business since his days as a high scroel student. He covered the events that shaped the news at Ball State with skill and expertise. Tracy had worked on Cable T.V., as a stinger for the Hartford City News Times, and he worked for the Muncie Star for one year. He received his job as Daily News Editor by being appointed by the Student Publications Sub-Committee. The Student Publications Sub- Committee had students and faculty that represented the University. The Student Publications Sub-Committee interviewed the applicants and decide which applicant had the best qualities to represent the University.

But he says he is only human. And the out-going professor always tries to show all sides of an issue. “When I think America has screwed up, I say so,” said Edmonds bluntly. This outspoken trait has occasionally gotten the Mississippi- born professor in trouble. A couple years back some students thought he was a communist. He was approached by one bold student and told, “You ought to go to Moscow.” To which Edmonds equally bold, but in a teasing manner, replied, “Are you kidding! It’s too conservative there.” Favorable comments greatly outnumber the bad ones though. “He’s great! He’s um...,” laughed freshman Karen Rogers, Brayton Hall, “very entertaining. He keeps your attention.” “I feel good about it,” said Edmonds about his success as a teacher. “But I hope I have enough motivaton to continue improving.” (PJS) _ Known for his enthusiasm, Anthony Edmonds was a | popular professor of history.

(REM) Politics, promises, and Jim Parks The success of the Open Forum on cancelled classes was cited by Parks as a major highlight of the Student Association's activities. During Parks’ campaign, he promised to get increased input on university matters. This promise was fulfilled when students were placed on the Search and Screen Committee for selecting a new university president and student center director. Parks is also proud of the role his administration played in the merger of Planned Parenthood and the Birth Control Information Center. He felt there was a great need for the merger and the Student Association worked very hard to make it happen. Other accomplishments of the Student Association under the Parks Administration included the student lobby at the Indiana State Legislature, the program for a student intern to work with the university attorney, and the Better Business Bureau’s tenant-landlord handbook. Dan Brandon, Student Senator and Student Association Information Director said that the Student Association under Parks took a big step forward in establishing status quo. According to Brandon, Parks gained more respect for Student Association's ideas in the minds of faculty and administration than other presidents in the past. “He (Parks) had lots of ideas but lots of barriers, too. A lot of groundwork has been laid,” said Brandon. Basically bicyle bonded Coggan prepares his own meals including baking his own bread and making his own yogurt. For many people, young and old alike, bicycling is an enjoyable form of recreation but for Goshen freshman Andrew Coggan it is more than just an afternoon ride around the block. Coggan, a member of the Michigana Cycle Racing Club, has ridden in races in eight states and Canada and has qualified for national competition four times. Coggan took up bicycling after repeated injuries from running. The reason he chose racing bikes was because he “likes the outdoors, likes competition and it is more challenging than running.” “The state road race is 100 miles long and the national race is 125 miles long,” said the Whitinger Scholar. While training, he rides two to seven hours a day in accumulating 350 to 400 miles per week. Coggan placed 30th in the 1977 national championships and hopes to improve his position this year. As an attempt to stay in top physical condition, Coggan prepares his own meals including baking his own bread and making his own yogurt. He also lifts weights, especially in the winter when he cannot ride outside. “It is a very expensive sport,” Coggan said in reference to his bicycle. It is a Belgium bike that weighs 18 pounds and costs between 700 and 800 dollars. Coggan is working on an undergraduate degree in biology. As a guinea pig for the Ball State Human Performance Laboratory, Coggan decided he would like to earn a masters degree in Exercise Physiology. Even as a research subject, Coggan was involved with a bicycle. He rode a stationary bicycle for a two hour time block to test the effects of caffeine. He hopes to eventually earn a doctorate degree and work with athletes involved in international competition. (JMB) The accomplishments of politicians are often times overlooked and the members of the Student Association are no exception but the list of accomplishments belonging to Student Association President Jim Parks cannot be easily swept under the rug. The success of the Open Forum on cancelled classes was cited by Parks as a major highlight of the Student Association’s activities. He attributed the success to the administration’s will to listen and respond to students. “Everyone here can feel free to talk with the administration on a one-to- one basis and I don’t think that’s true on every campus,” said Parks. According to Parks, the most important quality in a Student Association President is patience. “Most things don’t get implemented the first time,” said Parks. The key is to “keep trying.” Although Parks’ reign ended during spring quarter, the Parks family was not through with politics. As Jim left his post, younger brother Jeff was re- elected to the University Senate. (JMB) Dedication was part of Jim Parks work as president of the Student Association. He said the key to implementing ideas was to “keep trying.” (REM) Personalities x 385 In his fifth year as dean of the College of Business, Dr. Joseph Black had presided over a period of rapid growth and development. Yet the progress over the last five years was just the beginning. A quantum leap was in the works: a new building to house the college. Pulling drawings from shelves full of books, Black unroll- ed the drafts for the new college. “I expect we'll be moving to the new building in about two years; I’d say the fall of 1980,” he said. “T really had very little to do with the planning of the new building,” he continued. “The planning was primarily accomplished upon the initiative of President Pruis. Dr. (Edgar) Wagner built the model for the new structure.” “T never thought I would end up where I am now,” said Thelbert Drake. He started his career as a social studies and English major at Indiana State University, receiving his baccalaureate degree in 1955. In 1978, he oversaw eight departments, some 200 faculty, and the graduate overseas program as Dean of BSU’s Teachers College. “It just seemed like a challenging thing to do,” said Drake of his recently acquired position. “I never have looked for advancement, but if it looks like a good thing, I take it,” he added. Born in Terre Haute, Drake taught for a few years before becoming a principal at an Illinois school. He was an assistant dean at the University of Connecticut before ac- cepting his job here on September 1, 1977. “It’s sort of a squish-squash kind of role,” the dean said of his time-consuming job. “I get a lot of communication from all sides.” Drake’s job involved not only working with Teachers College faculty, but serving as a sort of mid- dleman between students, faculty, and administrators. In fact, Drake said one of his main difficulties in dealing with his new job was having to be everywhere and know everything at once. His main reward? “Seeing accomplish- ed what I feel must be done.” (PJS) Challenges and the Teachers College “It’s sort of a squish-squash kind of role, I get a lot of communication from all sides.” Personalities +x 387 Cafeteria compromise When dining service delights failed to tickle their pallets, students found time to have it their way. There were basically three options open to the star- ving student tired of french fried grouper and strawberry yogurt: dial- ing the delivery express; going out for a franchise feast; or galloping in their own gourmet kitchens. Delivery services, from Barnaby’s Sandwiches to Pizza Hut, prospered when their chuck wagons could plow through the weather. Pizza was a stirr- ing tradition in no danger of elimina- tion. “We ordered pizza about once a week,” said Edinburg freshman Jan Niebel, “But it was always a hassle to decide on what kind we wanted.” Her friend Mary Richert, Winamac freshman, added, “Only because Jan always wanted anchovies and no one else did.” Pizza was such a favorite that mast dorms held pizza demonstrations and campus radio stations staged promo- tions offering Chef delicacy as a prize.

McDonald’s, was probably the favorite for the junk food junkie, but a new Wendy’s competed for the title of “your kind of place.” Some students richly broke the ham- burger habit, by patronizing Cork n’ Cleaver or Clara’s for a touch of class. Cheaper steak houses, with all the cokes one could drink, fed a lot of Fri- day night blues. For night owls, Sambo’s and Dunkin’ Doughnuts attracted the all- nighter crowd. And the Two Bit Rush turned from a coffeehouse into a cafe, with crepes, cakes, cookies, and folk songs. But lines at Payless, Marsh, Harvey’s, and Shippy’s indicated a lot of students were experimenting in the kitchen. From porter house steaks to Snackin’ Cakes, students experimented in the culinary arts. Inevitably, off- campus students experienced a change in weight, either gaining or losing lots of pounds, because cooking for one or two wasn't quite as comfortable as when Mom stewed over the stove. Even dormies occasionally got in on the action, cooking elaborate meals in tiny kitchenettes. During the January blizzard, students so rampaged Harvey’s that there were little mun- chies left, and the only liquor available was one six pack of Billy beer.

Free time frolics Driven by a desire to be involved, a need for change, or just a matter of utilizing free time, students became actively involved with the in- finite campus organizations for satisfaction and experience. While apathy may have been a problem for some, others found themselves jumping in with both feet and enjoying it. Toni Carter, a senior from Tipton, devoted her free time to the activities of the Residence Hall Association (RHA). “I went to the meetings last year and I was really impressed with the way things were run. I’m really in- terested in campus acitivities,” she said, and added that she felt a strong incentive to get in- volved. Besides practical experience, the opportuni- ty for professional experience also motivated student activities. Daily News Editor Tracy Warner, a junior from Hartford City, claimed that his involvement was a way of making himself heard and affecting some necessary changes on campus. “As a student here,” Warner said, “I was really upset about the student situation in general and I also thought that the newspaper should be expressing the student viewpoint more.” The number of organizations and the sub- jects they dealt with varied, but the fact re- mained constant that where there was activi- ty, there were the active.

They were the exericise tanatics. “Twenty- five times around the hallway floor makes a mile...I think...Oh, I’m sooo sore.” They were mild-mannered students who lived ar or- dinary behind-the-scenes daylight life. After fulfilling the mundane duties of college life such as studying, partying, and writing papers, they donned sweat suits, jogging shoes, and tube socks and practiced the ritualized art called “working out.” These people engaged in such physical ex- ploits as tennis, jogging, and basic exercising. “It mainly gets me in shape,” said Columbus sophomore Mark Clark of his jogging. He exer- cised with a bicycle on rollers in his dorm base- ment as well as jogging four times weekly, usually after 11 p.m. Whether it was push-ups in the hall or laps around the Field and Sports Building, students exercised. Some went to the extremes, but most just raced up and down the halls before bed or peddled miles on a bicycle in the base- ment. Sometimes when the old muscles ached, x helped a lot when someone cheered the exer- Exercise on the campus of Ball State was noticed in diverse forms.

Constantly surrounded by people, the student sometimes felt the anxious pull of his inner self calling for equal time. During the dark days ot winter—made even darker by the coal shortage—solitude became more like loneliness. Venturing outside was an insult in itself, the wind never ceasing to give one a cold, wet slap in the face. Spring quarter was another story. With warmer temperatures and an inevitable feel- ing of spring fever, students found the urge to wander off. “Spring sun just set me off,” said one stu- dent. “I grabbed my books and took off towards the river. Distance didn’t seem to matter; I felt unlimited energy and the solitude was tremendous.” It was hard to imagine finding this same sort of tranquility in the library, but Michigan City sophomore Kim Radcliffe, found a sunny cor- ner irresistible. “It was the best place I could find to be alone at times,” she said. Others found solitude actively. “I got up and ran with my roommate every morning at seven, and it felt great,” said Huntington junior Scott Hedges. Solitude was an escape, a chance to get away from the pressures of books and from over 17,000 other students. (CJW) Solitude amidst 17,000 students was not easy to find. Sometimes one had to leave campus or find a quiet space on it. Greensburg senior Pam Martin finds herself alone in the hallway of West Quad.

They were usually the tables strategically located around the jukebox or by one of the exits, and their occupants became known as “Tally Rats.” Tally Rats (the label was never meant derisively) could usually be found pretending to study, or at least sitting before an open text. Usually their attentions were elsewhere. Said Munster freshman Carol Nelson, “It’s possible to block out the music and the chitchat to study, but I know the people here and you usually socialize and don’t study anyway.” Some Tally Rats didn’t even pre- tend to study. Commuters accepted the place as a sort of home away from home and whiled away hours upon hours during breaks between classes. “It’s the only place where I can feel a part of the university,” explained Marion sophomore Brenda Stapleton. “Since I commute here everyday, it’s the only place I can go and feel like I belong.” Professors, too, qualified as Tally Rats, and those who shot the bull with students contributed greatly towards student-teacher understan- ding. Talks over a doughnut and cup of coffee cemented friendships, not grades, however. Not all Tally Ho customers were considered Tally Rats. Because of its convenience the Tally Ho attracted just about every student at one time Graduates Tally Ho addicted or another. Coke dates were an everyday occurrence, and meals, while fairly expensive, were often a welcome change. And where else could you get the Tally’s world famous “Boom Boom Burger.” Despite its convenience, some students preferred to eat and lounge elsewhere. “I don’t like the at- mosphere,” said John Suite. “It’s too stereotyped with college kids, and it seems like only a certain crowd hangs The Tally Ho Snack Bar attracted crowds of all types and for diverse activities. Those who seemed to remain a part of the area regardless of the activity, were called “Tally Rats.” (MJ1) out there,” the Hartford City junior continued. Jeff Lynch, a Rochester, Michigan sophomore agreed. “All you ever hear on the jukebox there are disco and Rumanian folk songs.” Because of the size of the crowd © that hung out at the Tally Ho, it was apparent few students really objected to the Rumanian folk songs. Most seem to enjoy socializing and relaxing in the crowded atmosphere. With the booming jukebox, the hanging cigarette smoke, and the conversation in as many foreign languages as one could count, the Tally Ho was more: than just a place to eat.

The disco was as _ popular an activity as moving home in May. The dance floors were usually small, crowded, and lively with light shows strobes, and rotating silver globes accenting that disco look. Campus station disc jockeys, celebrities like WNAP’s Buster Bodine, and professionals from disco service flipped albums on fancy turntables and provided fabulous sound _ systems. Disco music blared constantly from stereos and radios. From the easy listening sound of the Commodores to the rock and roll sounds of K.C. and the Sunshine Band to the all-too- familiar sounds of the Bee Gees, disco music was everywhere. Mark Records, Columbus sophomore, and social Chairman of Hurst Hall attributed Hursts’ disco success to good publicity and an interesting D.J. Social Chairman David Koerner.

Sleeping seemed to be among the favorite pastimes of many students. Sometimes, however, it was more a necessity than a hobby. Catnaps were needed during the day to make up for sleep lost the previous night due to either excessive studying or excessive partying. Students had a variety of sleeping positions. “I just fall into bed and sleep however I happen to land,” jok- ed Doug Murray, Indianapolis sophomore, One girl was found sleep- ing half-on and half. off her bed. Some other unusual positions were as follows: an Indianapolis sophomore slept kneeling on her bed with her head resting on the bolster; a guy from LaPorte slept naked except for one sock on his left foot; and a certain “Mike” from Chicago once fell asleep in the shower. He was found leaning against the wall with the water streaming down him. Strange? Yes, but then cleanliness is next to godliness. Where, besides in showers, did students sleep? Not only in their beds, 402 x Graduates but also in study lounges, at the library, on the Arts Terrace, and in class. Especially in class. Students who spent all night at the Chug or Pub could usually be fouad sacked out the next day. Classes became a joke to those suffering from hangovers. Sometimes, but not always, plummeting grades proved a cure for week-night imbibing. “Real- ly,” swore Jim Pence, “I'll never get drunk on a week night again. I miss- éd four classes today because I was so hung over.” Promise or no promise, the Edinburgh sophomore was seen a mere two nights later guzzling on a six-pack of Millers. Sleep was like a cure. Broken Students sleep in the most unusual positions. Doug Murray found his bed comforting for the sleeping hours, but others slept in the shower, in the nude, or on the floor of someone else’s room. (TAH) dates, bad grades, and other forms of collegiate depression could all be forgotten through a little shut-eye. On the other hand, insomnia ran rampant through residence halls, more often than not caused by the carousing of other insomniacs a few doors down the hall. Or worse, in the hall. No matter how it was accomplish- ed or where it was done, sleeping was definitely an enjoyable and relaxing way to make it through trying times at college.

Lack of free time, however, became a major part of the lifestyle for those who chose to take more than 17 hours a quarter. Sandy Horton finds overloads take up a lot of time with study. She types a paper in the Menk Hall second floor study lounge. (KMR) Overloaded hours Quite a few students found that taking an overload (18 hours or more) was not only a quick way to get through college, but a way to ease the pressures of their senior year. They soon discovered that, although taking an overlaod was a fast way through, it was also a hard way. One negative aspect of overloading was the infringement on students’ social lives. “Besides taking 18 hours this quarter, I also work two jobs,” said Indianapolis junior Rose Seyfried. “I don’t have much time for anything else,” she said. Students on a two-year program sometimes found themselves forced to take an overload to complete the requirements in the two-year period. Most students in this situation took an overload their last quarter to eliminate the necessity of returning an extra quarter. Taking those few extra hours saved money as well as time. } “It's not hard taking a night class or an overlaod. It’s a lot easier,” stated sophomore Annette Pfiester from Millersburg, “The reason I’m doing it is to graduate,” she added. Additional classes meant more homework, and students with overloads often had to rear- range priorities. The general opinion concern- ing the difficulty of an overload was based on the presence or absence of a job, and other ac-. ivities and obligations.

Jimmy Carter may have ran the roost in Washington, but brother Billy's philosophies about spewing spirits prevailed illegally across campus. Getting drunk was an option quite a few student chose. Dorm regula- tions stayed solidly rigid; and although staffs and directors gallant- ly enforced the rules, the Friday to Sunday night routine included a lot of experiencing the fruit of the vine. And there were some glittering moments: polluted residents fell asleep ten feet from their doors, fire drills left underwear drawers con- taining Bourbon tightly shut, and students escaped the boredom of Joan Crawfor d Eats Cincinnati on the Saturday Late Show by inhaling Stroh’s. Yes, Steve Martin, oh, sultan of satire, these were the times of our lives. Hence the iceman came, and we got small. Drinking in the residence halls was a game, a cat and mouse fantasy with student staff, a high partially induced by the fun of sneaking around to break the rules. The LaFollette Concourse became the 406 x Graduates yellow brick road and the Commons was OZ. Studebaker fishbowls echoed voices loudly crooning, “Ninety nine bottles of beer on the wall.” And yes, there were times in Wagoner when cold beers and cheers walked stoutly through the halls, through rain, snow and staff, as nicely iced as the January blizzard. Off-campus drinking was a leniant as one’s landlord. The scenario: an autumn Saturday at an apartment on Jackson Street. Students who drank in the halls played hide and go seek with the resident hall directors. Off campus drinking and partying upon the leniency of the landlord landlady.

The stereo still vibrates “I wanna put on, I wanna put on your boogie shoes” to the late throngs wandering in from a rowdy Riverside Avenue. The refrigerator became a friend, something to hold onto. And the next morning the apartment was as hung over as the partiers. The legal 21 crowd played fooz ball at the Chug, partook of pitcher's at Mr. B’s, or spent time drinking. Volcanoes at Clara’s. The Friday afternoon payday was prime time at the Chug; cheers to an upcoming Weekend. And Thursday nights at King’s Corner attracted its own regular crowd. Colonial Crest staged wall to wall parties, and it always seemed that Burger King and Burger Chef pick up the tab for the paper cups. aN As the weather grew colder, the parties moved inside and students, rather than hot dogs, got roasted and kept warm with liquid refreshments. The Christmas season provided wonderful excuses with misltetoe and eggnog as the spirit of Christmas pre- sent permiated the opening of winter quarter. The January blizzard was a spawning ground of five continuous days of parties, even when liquor supplies ran low at local stores. The energy crisis even catered to a party atmosphere. With lights turned low and ice cold beer provideing the Warm Stidents energy consumption went down and their tolerance level skyrocketed. Spring fever and drinking went hand in hand.

Standing in line for hours, students revealed what it was like to transcend from class to class; from section to section. “I made a trip to the Ad Building, but after standing in line for 35 minutes, a girl on my right told me here entire life story,” complained Muncie grad student Linda Payne. “And, a guy on my left with body odor insisted on stretching his arms over my head every five minutes,” she continued.

Cindy Nulf, New Haven junior, transformed one wing in Hurlbut into a Tin Ear Tabernacle Choir with nightly musical performances. “We sang almost every night,” said the pianist for University Singers. “Whether at the lounge piano, or sit- ting around with guitars, we sang everything from John Denver to showtunes.” Students jammed to work out frustration, drown out Debbie Boone on the neighbor’s stereo, or provide a melody for partying songsters. “I like to play the guitar when I get depress- ed; I really enjoy it,” said Fort Wayne freshman Casi Bromelmeier, “There’s a challenge to learn it and I like to play Mitas, Daniel Social Studies, Beech Grove, IN Michell, Connie Home Ec., Vandalia, OH Mizia, Doreen Fashion Msde, La Porte, IN Mock, Roger Industrial Arts, Tipton, In Moehlenkamp, Barbara GBA, Indianapolis, IN Moeller, Jane Social Work Greensburg, IN Money, Lee Ann Psychology, Muncie, IN Montgomery, Michael Architecture, Muncie, IN Montgomery, Stlla Journalism, Madison, IN Moody, Jerry Health Science, Muncie, IN Moore, Jay Criminal Justice Correction New Albany, In Moore, Linda Nursing, Cincinnati, OH Morgan, Teresa Elementary Ed, Austin, IN Morris, Meredith Special Ed, Muncie, IN Morrison, Connie Elementary Ed, Muncie, IN 412 x Craduates in front of my friends.” Some students shared their music via religion.

Whether working in a residence hall dining service, typing for a professor, or peddling shoes at the Mall, students found it a delight to head for Merchant’s National on Wednesday and sign the back of a check instead of the front. Anderson junior Chris Bookout worked as a Davidson Hall desk staff. “It was a nice way to meet a lot of girls,” he stated. “It was fun and I had a good time.” As a student staff in the same hall, junior Terri Laugle from Indianapolis also worked at the desk, besides serving as floor counselor and programmer of activities. Laugle ex- plained being a student staff was a full time job—twenty four hours a day with no set hours. Nevertheless, she said, “I loved it; it was a great job ex- perience involving so much growth and self awareness.” Moving to an unfamiliar environ- ment did not deter some freshman from entering the job market. “Work- ing helped me not think so much of home and to adjust to a new set of routines,” said St. Leon freshman Diana Singer. Singer worked in senior advising. Students worked for a variety of reasons. Probably the single most im- portant reason being paying those in- evitable quarterly fees statements. But many students worked to gain ex- perience in the field they someday hoped to pursue. Kendallville junior John Broome spent many extra-curricular hours as a tutor in the Writing Clinic and as co- editor of Verbatim magazine. “By do- ing tutorial work, you have to get bet- ter as a teacher,” Broome stated. “because teaching is like writing: the more you do it, the better you become.” Broome worked with freshman on in-class themes they had written. By working as co-editor of Verbatim magazine, he feels he developed management skills that will help him work with students. Other students worked off-campus. Sophomore Terry Gosser from Jo nesboro worked 15 to 20 hours a week at L.S. Ayres at the Mall selling Punching in the time clock presented students with a little help in paying fees at the Bursar’s window in the Ad Building.

Even though the university lacked an official cut system, a classroom full of prompt, religious attenders-of-class was a rarity, while students devised their own cut systems. Cutting classes was seasonal. Getting out of bed on a warm fall or spring morning was easier than turning down the electric blanket and facing the snow in February. Many students considered cuts cumulative. Ray, Deborah Elementary Education, Indianapolis, IN Razor, Jennifer Social Work, New Castle, IN Seema IN Go to class every day one week and you get Reed, Katherine two bonus days off next week. Attend the lab; Elementary Education, N. Manchester, IN skip the lecture. Students played school by their own rules; some lost, others won. Justification of skipping classes came in all forms. A valid cut was net seeing Alistair Cooke’s America for the fourth time in as many history classes, while the opposite was true for those students limbering fingers in a frisbee toss on the Arts Terrace. As Patti Rister, Merrillville sophomore, said, “Sometimes classes weren’t worth it when the prof. said one sentence and repeated it ten different ways in the same lecture.” And there were not-so-valid excuses. Entire family trees could be wiped out, simply because a student neglected to study for an Astro 100 exam. For those chronic Village win- dowshoppers who lived off-campus, missing the bus was as good an explanation as any for their absence. The home environment, for a new perspec- tive on life, caused many to dash quickly away from Friday afternoon and Monday morning classes. ° And there were those students who were simply lazy, those who only came out at night to type 40-page Physics theses, or the campus joiner who placed his group in close proximity to classwork on his priority list. There were also some who believed in the power of positive classes. Rister continued, “I usually go to class because I think it shows you're interested. And if you are interested, the prof will help you more if you get in trou- ble.” Whether the reason for skipping classes was spring fever or academic apathy, most students, at one time or another, ignored alarm clocks, lounged in the Talley, or headed for the Reservoir. But each finals week came the test of what had lodged in their memories, and some class cuts were as regretted as the end of summer.

It was an un- written rule. Perhaps weekends weren't made for Michelob, but they were ideal for parties. Party became synonymous with weekend. A good party would draw people from all over campus. But what constituted a good party? One’s concept of the ideal party depended on one’s perspectives. To most people, a party meant the confines of a small dorm room or the festive interior of a fraternity house. This type of party centered around the perennial. collegiate crowd pleaser: beer—at small gatherings in six-packs and cases, at larger parties Ruff, Rachel General Business Administration, Losantville, IN Runyan, Stephanie General Business Adminstration, South Bend, IN Ruona, Victoria Marketing, Mooresville, IN Rush, Arlene Music Area, Windfall, IN Sutham, Sara Psychology, Springfield, OH Saul, Mary Speech Hearing, Ft.

Another party featured marijuana carefully packed in bongs or pipes or rolled in E-Z Widers. Red-eyed students would sit in a circle and pass the joint while engaging in small talk—toking, holding, and releasing, then giving up the weed to the next person in the circle. Yet, for others a good party was as innocuous as a couple of six-packs of Pepsi, some potato chips, maybe a bag of pretzels and a ga me of Monopoly, or playing guitars and singing until the sun came up Satur- day morning. For students in residence halls, partying often proved more a pain than a pleasure. Student staffs and hall directors were alert for viola- tions. “One girl had the nerve to ask me if it was really true that she couldn't have booze and pot in her room. I held back a giggle and said, ‘That’s right, you can’t. She was totally unaware of the fact,” said Susan Letizia, Klipple Hall staff from Garrett. Students wandered home late Fri- day night or early Saturday morning, waiting in dreamy anticipation for word of next week’s (or tomorrow night’s) party. On Tuesday night, Party Syndrome would hit campus again. (RLA) Party aftermath took on diverse forms. Weekends were made for the great escape, whether with the aid of Bob’s Bottle Shop, Greyhound, or Supplier Sam. Students tossed their books aside and entered the world of happy-time, exploring realms of non-reality related levels. Party-goers found their rainbows on Riverside, off-campus, or in a room down the hall, and partied hardy.

Going into the outside world, via automobile, spelled relaxation to those who lived on or near campus. Parking, especially for the freshman, was an ever-present problem. The only authorized freshman lot was the Bethel Avenue Lot, which was a long walk on a cold day. “It’s just the pits, I can’t go anywhere,” said Marla Lain, Edinburgh freshman. “Even if I had my car here, it would have to go clear out in the freshman lot.” Marla lived in Klipple Hall. Many freshmen, and upperclassmen as well, parked their cars on the streets and risked violating the Muncie city edict of two hours parking. Upperclassmen, although allowed to park on campus, found parking spots hard to get. In winter quarter the Noyer Parking lot was changed from a storage lot to a commuter lot and Studebaker and Noyer Complex residents had to park elsewhere. The elsewhere was the north end of the muddy trailer court lot, until a Studebaker Noyer parking committee lob- byed for half of the south lot and was granted permission to use it for storage. The great January blizzard trapped many students at home as their cars became a part of the landscape. Many cars would remain buried until students headed off campus for spring quarterbreak. But as spring quarter progressed, converti- ble tops came down and Jeep windows were rolled down. Students raced around the cam- pus green, scurried in their cars through the scramble light, and cruised in the sunshine to the Mall, A W, and Burkee’s Drive-In.

The shortage, and the chain of events it triggered, laid an icy finger on each individual and held its grip longer than anyone ever imagined. President Pruis, on January 28, re- quested a cutback which would be “easy for all.” Who would miss a few lights here and there? But the here and there became everywhere when, the very next day, Indiana and Michigan Electric Company issued mandatory cutbacks, and Kenneth Rott, Physical Plant director, in- itiated campus cutbacks for budgetary reasons. Students grumbl- ed and a few began to worry. A week later the news was rippl- ing across campus that Indiana University was facing suspension of classes and President Pruis announc- ed Ball State’s need for a 50 percent cutback by February 20. Scrambling to meet a deadline on- ly five days away, maintenance per- sonnel decreased lighting by remov- ing or disconnecting light bulbs. In the residence halls, custodians vacuumed only on alternate days. Laundry facilities and elevators were turned off, leaving only emergency stairwells were lighted. Dining ser- vices dimmed lights and cut out the use of ovens, grills, and toasters. Campus happenings slowed to a crawl. Basketball games were held in the afternoon, during daylight hours; night classes were restricted to fewer buildings; and students had to curtail their activities to shorter hours at the gym, the library, and the Tally. According to Housing Office of- ficial Mike Pitzo, students complied admirably by using fewer lights and limiting use of appliances. Conscien- tious students asked themselves, “Which takes more energy—the hair dryer or the toaster?” while the less conservation-minded complained openly bumping into people in dark hall ways and eating cold food. By February 17 the situation had reached the point where Senator Lugar recommended burning coal with corn. The Muncie community was hard hit as both Marhoeffer and Chevrolet plants cut back power and employees. The 77th day of the strike, February 21, saw the chance of relief. as the United Mine Workers and an independent coal company reached a tentative pact. but President Carter still threatened to evoke the Taft- Hartley Act, and cartoons issued dire black and white warnings from the editorial pages of newspapers. Closer to home was the ad- ministration’s announcement that the opening of spring quarter would be deferred from March 7 to March 14. And May graduates began to wonder if they would receive diplomas in three months as originally hoped. During an extra week of vacation, students enjoyed longer Florida vaca- tions and swapped stories with other college students also on break. Would we have Saturday make-up classes like I1.U. and Purdue?

Although the miners ignored that action, school was in session on March 14. As the weather warmed and days grew longer, the coal shortage seem- ed less threatening, but the campus heaved a collective sigh of relief on March 29 when the 110 day strike finally came to a close. Although the major cutbacks were lifted, university officials requested a 25 percent energy cutback in the face of skyrocketing costs. By then, most students had learned to live with less. Ball State had weathered the coal shortage better than I.U. or Purdue but most students will remember the dark months with a slight shudder. (KD) When it snowed, it snowed—and snowed some more.

But alas, there was always the movie. The Student Center Governing Board (SCGB) Film Committee, headed by Mark Turner, presented a number of hit movies, ranging in topic from religion to syndicated crime. Movies such as the box-office smashes Marathon Man, King Kong, All the President’s Men, and Network were shown to often capacity crowds. “I think the movies are pretty good; they seem to be all the big movies that you usually have to pay $3.50 for back home. The only bad thing is that they should have two showings for the really good movies. This campus can get boring and sometimes (the movie) is a good place to take a date,” stated Jeff Malaguerra, freshman from Ander- son. Bernie Zech, Marion sophomore agreed that the SCGB movies had “enough variety to please just about everyone.” “I go mainly because of lack of something else to do,” she said. Other students said the SCGB movies were a good way to avoid skyrocketing theater costs, since the campus charge for admission was usually a dollar. Also stated as a reason for attendance were the before and after-film features, usually in- cluding Bugs Bunny and Flash Gor- don. “The SCGB schedules good films at a low price and shows them at a con- venient place’, said Brian Powell, senior from Mt. Prospect, Illinois. “Besides, it is tough to see Flash Gor- don on a big screen.” The film committee has, however, encountered some opposition as to the selection of the movies. One ex- ample which resulted in much con- troversy, including a number of let- ters in the Daily News, was Andy Warhol’s Bad. Shown in the Student Center Ballroom to a capacity crowd, the film received much criticism because of its “X” rating. While the movie had much less sex than found in most “R” movies, it more than compensated with an abundance of grotesque violence including the murder of dogs and infants, and an attempted murder of an_ autistic “The SCGB schedules good films at a low price and shows them at a ccnvenient olace.” ee child. Mark Turner explained that the film was selected to provide exposure of such an acclaimed filmmaker as Warhol and to provide a_ well- rounded selection of subject matter. The film, he explained, was not shown on a pornographic basis, but as a test to check the reactions of students to X-rated films. As a compensation, Turner used the funds obtained through the show- ing of Bad to rent the movie Jesus Christ, Superstar. He explained , “I just want the film experience to be total.” Whether as a committee member busy changing reels or simply as a spectator finding an economical way to spend an evening, the SCGB films successfully provided an escape from the dreaded boredom syndrome of a weekend on campus.

As an architecture major, the South Bend senior stayed awake for several days during winter quarter to finish a dot map project. All across campus, unlike most of the world, students grew familiar with the wee hours of 430) morning to finish history books, term papers, and projects. Ba!’ State played school and partied around the clock. Daily News typewriters, along with musicians in the Music Building and arkies in their studies, clamored, harmonized, and built projects when the stars were out. The No-Doze crew fell into three categories: The Procrastinators, The Dedicated, and The Partyers. Almost every student was a Pro- crastinator at one timer or another. The Procrastinator would read _ all five required paperbacks for Dr. Sharon Hannum’s Women in History class the night before the final. Pro- crastinators were everywhere, literal- ly: lounging over a 35-cent cup of coffee in the Talley, listening to Elvis croon My Way on the Commons jukebox, or reading back issues of Cosmopolitan in the bound periodicals section of the library. Procrastinators could be found around Bracken copy machines the day before a term paper was due, gathering all the information necessary for their thesis. The Dedicated spent nearly as much time up at night as the Procrastinator, but their concentration Undergrad was much more intense. The Dedicated never crammed; they were the people who went to the library the first week of the quarter, took notes for term papers, and read all of Dante's Inferno. The Dedicated firm- ly plan ted themselves in a position of honor in dorm study lounges, com- plete with Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary, coffee mug, typewriter, and prepared outline. The Dedicated were usually the ones who ask the Partyers to be quiet, as both of them were in their prime near dawn. The Partyers could be either a Pro- crastinator or a Dedicated, Sut when they boogied, you knew it. A good in- dication was “The Battle of the Bands,” subtitled “Lets see who's woofers and tweeters can take the most from Bob Seger.” Thursday night signaled the begin- ning of the weekend as many students shuffled to King’s Corner. All- nighters to some students meant par- ty hearty. “To me, all-nighters is par- tying all Friday and Saturday night,’ said freshman Cathy Cripe, Goshen. Whether experiencing the fruit of the vine, or just high on life, students danced through the late movie and into the morning hours. Across campus, for whatever reason, students stayed up. Sandy Schweir, Muncie sophomore, and South Bend junior Susan Clark, through their Student Association ef- forts extended library hours so cram- mers could work through academic problems in a library setting. Rocking around the clock at Ball State didn’t necessarily mean dancing to Johnny B. Goode.

All dressed for class, Musial did not realize the sprayer faucet was taped down and rigged to soak the first un- suspecting victim. When he turned on the water, Musial became that unsuspecting victim. Living in a dorm would not have been complete without the practical jokes that kept student staffs on the lookout. Rowdiness was a part of the everyday routine. From the old standard of short-sheeting a dorm bed to freezing a bra, students attempted dastardly deeds to ease the pressure of college life and add a little excitement. A Studebaker Complex staff told about one student who, in celebration of his birthday, was stripped down to his birthday suit, thrown in the shower, and, in full view of members of the opposite sex, returned to his hall. Showers, in fact, were the prankster’s delight: bathrobes and towels were stolen with alarming regularity, leaving victims clinging to wet shower cur- tains for cover; Jello was stuffed into shower heads, giving the next users an odd sort of shampoo; and Saran Wrap was placed over toilet seats, producing unspeakable effects. Combined with alcohol and midquarter tension, the obvious reaction was “let’s get crazy.” And whether that meant artistically choreographing a grocery cart down a Wagoner Complex hallway or crawling through a Shales Hall phone box to distribute a bag full. of crushed Corn Flakes and popcorn to a neighbor, “pimp jobs” were the reality that made dorm life tolerable for pranksters, intolerable for vic- tims.

Brownsburg SMITH, SHERIE E. Fairmount 436 yy Undergrad ss Motivation misplaced RUMOR: A person lucky enough to be a college stu- dent is living the best, most carefree years of his life. FACT: Four years of dwelling in an institution of higher learning was not all the college handbooks pro- pagandized it was. For along with the security of a diploma, and memories of good times, good friends, and good professors, came the bad times. There was always that one selfish roommate who borrowed and didn’t return, that graduate assistant who gave the final two days before announced, and that financial fickleness that accompanied buying books and paying fees. There was the need to get away. “When I felt really bad, I went home,” said Carmel junior Sue Mueller, “but if I was stuck here I retreated to my room to be alone.” Jogging around provided a break for South Bend junior Tim McClure. McClure said he sometimes just had to get away from the noise, people, and interrup- tions. “When I was running,” he added, “I just had time to think things out.” For others, getting away meant leaving the campus area. Cicero freshman Ann Hartley liked to “go to a house, a real live house and just sit...anywhere that was away from school.” And Julie Sexton, Shelbyville freshman, often hopped in a car and took off for In- dianapolis, “for no reason at all.” The most popular method of getting away, for those in-state students, was going back down the yellow brick road to the magic land called home. Ball State wasnt called a “suitcase college” for nothing, as evidenced by empty parking lots on weekends. Whatever the escape method—indoors, outdoors, or miles away—students found it necessary to get away from others or school, or both.

There were basically three options open to the starving student tired of french fried grouper and strawberry yogurt: dial- ing the delivery express; going out for a franchise feast; or galloping in their own gourmet kitchens. Delivery services, from Barnaby’s Sandwiches to Pizza Hut, prospered when their chuck wagons could plow through the weather. Pizza was a stirring tradition in no danger of elimination. “We ordered pizza about once a week,” said Edinburg freshman Jan Niebel, “But it was always a hassle to decide on what kind we wanted.” Her friend Mary Richert, Winamac freshman, added, “Only because Jan always wanted anchovies and no one else did.” Pizza was such a favorite that most dorms held pizza demonstrations and campus radio stations staged promo- tions offering Chef Boy-ar-dee’s delicacy as a prize. Besides the option of telephone treats, students supported businesses on Hamburger Row and elsewhere in Muncie. McDonald’s_ was probably the favorite for the junk food junkie, but a new Wendy’s competed for the title of “your kind of place.” Some students richly broke the hamburger habit, by patronizing Cork n’ Cleaver or Clara’s for a touch of class. Cheaper steak houses, with all the cokes one could drink, fed a lot of Friday night blues. For night owls, Sambo’s_ and Dunkin’ Doughnuts attracted the all- nighter crowd. And the Two Bit Rush turned from a coffeehouse into a cafe with crepes, cakes, cookies, and folk songs. But in lines at Payless, Marsh, Harvey's, and Shippy’s indicated a lot of students were experimenting in the kitchen. From porterhouse steaks to Snackin’ Cakes, students experimented in the culinary arts. Inevitably, off-campus students experienced a change in weight, either gaining or losing lots of pounds, because cooking for one or two wasn't quite as comfortable as when Mom stewed over the stove. Even dormies occasionally got in on the action, cooking elaborate meals in the tiny kitchenettes. During the January blizzard, students so rampaged Harvey’s that there were little munchies left, and the only liquor available was one six pack of Billy beer. Whether or not all the food consumed by students was brain food is not the point. The point is that ingrained somewhere in the Ball State student was a constant hunger, and not necessarily for knowledge.

Lynette 315, 439 Index x 447 Birthing this baby was one close It has been said that putting out a yearbook is a lot like pregnancy; they both usually take nine months to produce , but sometimes go a little longer. At Ball State, Amy McVay summed it up when she said, “At the Orient, though, we think of abortion the whole time.” Apparently a lot of people felt that way as they left the book before it was done. Doug Driscoll, editor, resigned from the staff in late August of 1978. Only 80 pages were complete after hassles with the editorial end of the book as well as production problems including, fading copy, technical diffficulties with Daily News typesetting equipment, and the clash of the immovable object and the irresistable foree—department chairman Louis Ingelhart and editor Driscoll. Mary Dale Walters resigned from the staff a few weeks later, under advice from her doctor. Half panic stricken and in desperate need of someone to take over production of the 78 book, Dr. Ingelhart and adviser Dick Ware turned to 1979 Orient design editor, Sharon Duffy. On the basis that Dr. Ingelhart would stay out of the office and allow her to do the book in her own way, Sharon took on the challenge of putting out what looked like an impossibility. And as the story goes, in two months Sharon and her crew pasted up the remains of what was supposed to be done in nine. There were a lot of all-night caption and layout sessions, but come November 15, Sharon mailed in the last shipment of the 1978 Orient and caught a plane for Milwaukee to see her boyfriend. For Sharon Duffy, it had been no two-month party and birthing this baby was one hell of a labor pain. The year had not been without some good times, however, during the initial stages of the book’s production. It all began in Athens, Ohio, August of 1977, at yearbook workshop. Col. Chuck Savedge said the Ball State Yearbook was going to be the best yearbook in the country and in the minds of its staffers, it couldn't be anything less. While Doug took on the task of slave- master and wouldn't accept anything less than perfection, The committee to put out the yearbook consists of Jill Hess, Pat Lighty, Jim Grim, Kathy Torok, Bill Vance, Kevin Hanback, Mark Records, Sharon Duffy, and Pat Olovich. Amy McVay and Jim Grim learned to write to meet his rewrite standards. And of course, nobody, but nobody could write captions . One of the big projects of the year had been the Ball State Yearbook U-Name-It Contest, a contest to rename the Orient. After narrowing down the names to “The Card Catalog, “Ball Jar,” and “Ball Bearings,” it was decided to keep the Orient as the yearbook’s name. An all-campus vote helped decide to retain the yearbook’s 60- year title. When the staff was not running the name-change contest, selling Orients, writing and rewriting copy, and printing pictures, it entertained itself in such projects as roller-chair races up and down the halls, raids on the Daily News, and a game Amy McVay and Randy Abbott made up called “toss the Talisman.” And the first staff keggar, at Rick McComb’s house, could not be forgotten since half the copy staff quit afterwards. Sherie Smith joined in the fun of the editorial ranks mid-year as the °78 Orient’s third (and final) sports editor. Staff turnover was not only restricted to the final months of production as Randy Abbott became university section editor mid-year, also, when Karen Gadbury gave up the section to fill the position of assistant copy editor. Chris Stark moved up a position on the staff as photography editor when graduate assistant Mike Iacono found it too much to handle alone. The story of the 1978 Orient could go on forever, but it won't. Staff morale wasn’t always bad, in fact it usually was quite good. When Doug discovered money was tight in the spring and had to cut the magazine section, signatures of color, and 32 pages, Mary Dale baked a cake and the staff had a party—to celebrate what was left, of course. Bill Vance, who virtually lived in the darkroom all year, snapped pictures of the festive event. And when it came time for awards, the Orient members honored themselves a little before the Journalism Banquet and showed up slightly on the intoxicated side; champagne had never tasted so good. What really happened to the book’s production before Doug resigned, besides fading copy and extensive rewriting, nobody knows. But one thing for sure, there were a hell of a lot of layouts (376 pages) to be pasted up when Sharon Duffy took over. With the help of Randy Abbott, Karen Gadbury, Jim Grim, Kevin Hanback, Jill Hess, Marmie Houchens, Dora Jeffers (thank God for her patience, dedication, and VDT skills), Jim Keene, Patty Lighty, Tammy Miller, Pat Olovich, Dale Parry, Mark Records, Amy Schlotman, Leslie Shiel, Sherie Smith, Ann Swoveland, Kathy Torok, and Bill Vance, captions were written, layouts pasted up, and pages shipped out. Agonizing, tension-throbbing hours were spent with a close encounter of the worst kind. However, there is one inescapable conclusion: without Sharon Duffy, this baby may have never been born.

Frisbee tosses on the arts terrace and cheerleader camp echoes broke the monotony, a monotony that only survived too short a time. Bus loads of people emptied onto the campus and they took over in a unique sort of way. They invaded the academic atmosphere with their “bless patrols” for they were The Way, a biblical research group at conference. Everyone was drawn into it. Car loads of clothes, albums, and covers jammed campus streets for three hot and horrible days in September. The disorder did not end. Lines in the bookstore stretched beyond belief—beyond the bookstore doors. But even when the books were bought, the chaotic disorder continued. Like a Jigsaw puzzle, few pieces fell into place. Students found their classes had been cancelled and reported to room 6 of the Ad Building to form more lines and computer chaos. WE ARE NOT ALONE. Which Way? 4,000 guests came to campus in late June for the conference marking the 30th anniversary of the founding of the Way International. A few complaints were registered with university amdinistrators while the members of the Biblical research ministry were on campus.

Open forums were held with President Pruis and Dean Richard Burkhardt to explain the reasons behind class closings. Tempers fervored. University Senate called for the resignation of President Pruis and voted “no confidence” in his administration. But nothing really seemed to out- right come about, only the CLOSE ENCOUNTERS—and of all kinds. The Cardinal football team tasted a CLOSE ENCOUTER of the A visiting dean.
