When 18,000 students arrived with their over- stuffed suitcases and bulging boxes, it was ob- vious that it would be a year of close quarters and close relationships. A record high number of students crammed their essentials into 10x12 dorm rooms, converted study lounges and munchkin-size apartments. They piled in and crowded in together for nine months of tight budgeting, tight places, and tight- knit friendships. It was the year of the big squeeze. It was everywhere. Everyone felt it in some way. The squeeze touched some gently, and others it bruised. But no one could avoid it. Even going to a campus party meant sharing jokes, good times, and the keg with 50 other fun-loving students. In the dorms hot water was the privilege of only the few early-risers, and even such a simple luxury as driving to campus_ required squishing a car into whatever minute parking space was Ind 416 left.

People’ gathered for whatever excuse possible and weekends became almost endless. The schedule of campus events never let up. Stampedes hurried to football games, dances, plays and concerts, all fighting for the best seats. Fall droned on past Homecoming and Derby Days, and from weekend to weekend the crowds seemed to grow. Hun- dreds collected for Watermelon Bust, and one rainy sunny afte- noon 2544 gathered in the Quad to ‘Jump For It,” a place among the world’s records. For days afterwards the grass was trampled and worn down from the mass of cheering, jumping people. i ed Saree else + icra a a ee amd WHEN rain saturates the campus, everyone moves a little more quickly, trying to avoid puddles and pneumonia. --photo by Jill Dunne DURING the Homecoming Halftime show, President Jerry Anderson watched the crowning of the new queen.

Pressures closed in from all angles. GPA hassles plagued the academic-conscious. The Bracken refugees had the impossible task of finding a quiet corner to study in, and business majors fought it out among themselves for classes in the already over-crowded Whitinger College of Business. During the peak hours, it took a lot of pushing and pleading to squeeze into the book store--only to discover the needed book was already sold out. The financial aid office also seemed like the place to be as the lines of people hoping for jobs, grants, or loans snaked through the office and down the stairways. Freshmen had the headaches of Mom’s constant checking-up and Dad’s over-sized expectations. Seniors had the worries of job- hunting weighing down on them, and dorm residents fretted over the hazards of dining service’s mystery meat and surprise soup. Few escaped the touch of the big squeeze. v4 W ote A) fz ' EXPOSURE to the cold was eer one of the hazards of being a pom-pon_§ girl--except when there was a warm friend around. --photo by Tony DeCristofaro ALTHOUGH the campus around her continuously changes and grows, Beneficence, dedicated to the Ball brothers, remains the one constant, stable ele- ment of the University. -- photo by Steve Buchanan The Big Squeeze o ce Zz tal Ce i) nap Heit, ors RH gine IE Rh oR ANS KARTE gh) UNDER PRESSURE Not even the Administration Building remained a sanctuary. As scandals mounted, the yellow brick fortress fell. Provost James Koch came under fire for his handling of such issues as “sex for grades’ and “campus rapes.”’ But the controversies didn’t stop there. Due to what they called philosophical dif- ferences, the Board of Trustees put the squeeze on Jerry Ander- son, former University President. On Friday, January 30, Will Parker, president of the Board of Trustees sent out special notices to the faculty, calling for classes to be canceled and a meeting to be held the next Monday. No explanation was given, and for three days the University hung in suspense. Rumors flew. Speculation grew. Then at the meN THE EBIG February 2 meeting the tension cleared -- almost.

Some were relieved, others annoyed, but almost everyone was shocked. Still, Bell became the fourth president in the last seven years. The office changes were made, and the routine continued, as if nothing much bad happened. Fraternities still packed people into their action-packed parties. The crumbling and crashing down of the old business barracks continued on schedule. And the people living off campus still tried to think of new and ex- ' citing ways to cook ground beef. By then, the cold had clamped down on the campus. Events had moved inside and friends huddled together through the bliz- zards, the inflation and the unemployment. Although the cost of such collegiate essentials as popcorn, pretzels, and Pepsi jumped twice as quickly as dining service wages, enough pennies were usually saved up for the truly necessary things in life. Sambos wasn’t deserted. Pizzas still rescued the victims of midnight munchies. And some weekends were still made for Michelob.

They felt the budget cut-backs and financial aid cuts, but they hung on. They felt the cramps of a crowded campus, but because of the close quarters, they became close friends quicker. They were a part of the groups, the events, the activities, the sports. Through the seasons they watched some close games. The football team felt a crunch besides tackles when its hopes of a Conference Title were smash- ed. Basketball competition was also rough, but when the basket- ball team put the squeeze on its opponents, it actually got a touch of the Mid-American Conference honor. Basketball optimism and the first signs of spring made the monsoon-dreary campus liven up. Plans were made for spring break get-aways and during that finals week, hugs were abun- dant. The long winter of snow and Bangkok flu was just about over. When spring quarter finally came, the huddles, hugs, and handshakes were still abundant. Friendships were cemented. DURING the year people met, collected into groups and made friends in many different places, including the steps of Bracken Library. --photo by Terry Clark TRYING to avoid his oppo- nent, Jeff Williams makes his way down court.

The kind of friends that are never forgotten were found. In fact, the whole year was the kind that isn’t forgot- ten easily. Day by day, the students watched the close calls of a Univers- ty living through cut-backs, crowding changes, and controversy. They relied on friends, groups, and organizations to pull them through the tight spots and to share with them the good times. But through it all they clung on tightly. They made it through the year of the big squeeze.

The crunch continued.... The crowds became bigger and rowdier. In a year of close quarters, close budgets and close calls, students came together and they made close friends.

Vance OO NO a oy S urviving the Longest Haul by Sue Miller Throughout the summer months the streets and buildings of Ball State waited, strangely empty. Summer school students and faculty were present and carrying on the normal university routine, but some element seemed to be missing. At last the day came and the echoing quiet of the idle summer was shattered with the rush and fan- fare of the return of some 17,000 students. They came piling into campus in overloaded cars to squeeze themselves and _ their belongings into their various residences for the begining of a new school year. It was this hurrying, tightly packed atmosphere that the University was missing over the summer sessions, the essence of contemporary college life, and never is it more apparent than during those first few days of moving in. September 7 was the red letter day, when residence halls opened for the incoming freshmen. Starting with a trickle of hardy, early morning arrivals, the stream of freshmen and early returning upperclassmen became torrential as the day pro- gressed. Vehicles in every shape and size, loaded to capacity with the essentials of college life, formed lines of traffic which snaked down the streets and snarled around the residence halls. Those who were lucky, managed to find parking places near the hall entrances from which to unload. The less fortunate, however, were forced to find what they could on the furthest fringes of the parking lots and steel themselves for the longest mile between car and room. With the help of mom and dad and an occasional brother, sister, or and friend, the students tackled the job of hauling an impressive ‘assortment of stereos, albums, popcorn pop- pers, plants, crates, posters, and other college paraphernalia into one tiny, two-person dorm room. The most frequent comments heard were “Where did you get all this stuff?” and “Will it all fit?” Many a residence hall occupant, unless lucky enough to rate a first floor room, spent a few exhausting hours hefting suitcases up flights of stairs or zooming up and down packed elevators as they shifted their possessions from car to room. Many objects which before simply couldn’t be left at home came very close to being abandoned along the way as the movers became increasingly disenchanted with moving. In spite of the crowds and hustle, moving-in day ran smoothly for most, thanks to the thorough preparations of the hall directors staffs. Wilson Hall San- dy Cassleman said, “Everything ran really smoothly because the hall council came early and had everything already set up.” The council incorporated a popular western theme into the hall’s opening, and the hall sported decorations for a Wilson Western Hoedown for a welcoming touch. At last the final box and shopping bag were deposited in the room, and except for putting it all away, mov- ing in was complete. Almost. Moms and dads departed reluctantly, han- ding out last minute advice, em- phasizing warnings of the pitfalls of college, and giving the universal plea, “Please write!” For many of the freshmen this marked the first time that they were on their own and in that unique at- mosphere called college. Initially this was an intimidating thought. There were all sorts of people to meet and many, many things to learn - both in and out of class. Help was just around the corner though, around several corners to be exact, as many different groups some, moving in was a family and everyone that was able ea helping hand.

Beginning with the President's New Student and Parent Convoca- tion, the freshmen students were welcomed by President Jerry Ander- son. The talented Ball State Univer- sity Singers followed performing several numbers. Later that evening was the time for freshmen to meet with their SOC Leaders from sum- mer orientation. The SOC Leaders took down school addresses and gave out their own in case they needed to be contacted. They listen- Vance Balancing wood for his bed loft and carrying a refrigerator was a tricky As the moving begins to get tiring, Debbie Hughes and her sister Rhonda Tinker break the monotony with some comedy. --photo by William E. ed to problems, answered ques- tions, and provided a welcome, familiar face. In the residence halls ice-breaking activities were put into action to help familiarize the freshmen with their new “homes.” Hall meetings were held to explain regulations and hall policies, letting the new students know just what they could, or couldn’t get away with. For a more social note, the halls also presented skits and games to help break the first-night ice. While residence halls all over campus were filling up, flurries of challenge. --photo by William E. Vance moving activity were occurring in many houses surrounding the University as off-campus students began packing things in for another year. Into dwellings of all sizes and conditions, off-campus students brought in loads of the accumula- tions of previous school years as well as more practical necessities of life. Bringing extra loads of pots, pans, and furniture and other homey essentials was the price paid by those who wanted the in- dependence and responsibility of off-campus living. Many paid the price gladly for the opportunity to escape visiting hours, hall staffs, and dorm food. Julie Powanda, Birm- ingham, Michigan senior, was one who preferred to make some sacrifices in order to live off campus. “I like the privacy and the feeling of independence,” she said. “You have to depend on yourself to sur- vive.” Although many graduate from residence halls to off-campus living by their own choice, for approx- imately 1,500 freshman the choice was finding off-campus housing or not coming to Ball State at all. Even Although it was a long haul from the parking lot to Brayton Hall, Rhonda Tinker didn’t complain much. Over 1900 students moved into LaFollette using study lounges for housing and three to a room living arrangements, residence halls were simply filled to capacity. There was no room to squeeze any more in. Huntertown freshman Beth Berdelman was secretly looking for- ward to living in an off-campus apartment. “I thought I would enjoy living in my own apartment,” she said. “Actually it could get really lonely. | felt like I was missing out on something by not living in a dorm.” Fortunately it was well realized that living off-campus away from the main campus activity could be lone- ly. With that in mind special invita- tions were extended to off-campus freshman to attend hall discos and events. A disco was held for the off- campus students, and the Student Center Governing Board Activities Night was recommended for all new students who wanted to get involved so they could look over the various campus activities. Before the week was out, as students settled into new classes, new rooms, and new friendships, the element, missing from the sum- mer, was no longer absent.

The history of the Delta Tau Delta Alpha Chi Omega spon- sored event is cursed with cloudy skies. Approximately 4,000 water- melon enthusiasts huddled, cuddl- ed, nudged, and chowed on the spaceous Delta Tau Delta lawn on Watermelon Bust September |3. They were there not only to celebrate the annual event, but also to renew old friendships and find new ones in this first weekend back from a long summer vacation. Over 700 melons became vic- tims of the fun and games which stretched from early afternoon to early evening. This year’s Bust crowd was again plagued by swarms of bees which were attracted to the sweet smell of the melons splattered on the lawn by both participants and spectators of the annual event. The stars of WISH-television’s P.M. Magazine in Indianapolis, Ball State alumni Kim Hood and Tom Cochran, served as co- masters of ceremonies for the 1980- 81 Bust. Muncie Mayor Alan Wilson and Ball State President Jerry Anderson made special guest appearances. It was even suggested that one way to improve relations between city government and student body would be to have the mayor organize city council members into [most a Watermelon Washout a team for next year’s Bust. When t he sun finally did break through the overcast skies temperatures were high and the day was hot. Certainly the weather didn’t bother the ten queen candidates who rode majestically in the pre- Bust parade in sparkling Chevrolet Corvettes. And Ball State’s Cardettes and rifle corp seemed comfortable enough. Few people enjoyed the day more than Carol Hagans, Green- field sophomore, and Nancy Ben- ) chart, Bloomington sophomore, who finished first and second runners-up respectively in the queen contest. Hagans was spon- sored by Painter Hall and Nancy by Delta Gamma. But the day belonged: to Karen Roman, Westville junior, spon- sored by Delta Delta Delta. Roman, by virtue of her being one of the top ten finalists in the preceeding week’s penny vote, earned an interview for the final queen selection that Saturday morning. Roman earned the Watermelon Bust Queen crown that afternoon. In the field of athletic endeavor, Wagner, Elliott and Menk Halls finished respectively in the men’s hall division of the Watermelon Bust. Crosley Hall’s first team won the women’s division and Alpha Omicron Pi took the sorority honors. The fraternity division was won by Sigma Phi Epsilon, team two. Following them were Sigma Phi Epsilon Unicorns and Theta Chi continued Many different forms were used in an attempt to toss the watermelon.

Unlike the previous years ,most of the participants of this year’s watermelon toss were disqualified for dropping and breaking the slip- pery, greased, green melons. Other games in the Bust were seed spitting, watermelon eating contest, and a watermelon head roll. proximately 9:30 p.m. the high energy gave way to an odd sense of anticipation as two police cars with red lights flashing captured the crowd’s attention. Attired in black suits and dark glasses, two very reasonable fac- similies of the Blues Brothers, Jake and Elwood, stepped from the car. Alias Kenny Brown and Greg The bands Why On Earth, Nigel Graham, manager and assistant and Late Show jammed in concert at the University Stadium that evening, replacing the scent of watermelon in the late summer air with energetic rock and roll.

The cameras were ready, some on the ground and one in a ‘cherry picker’ high above the arts terrace. The Quad was fenced off, and as the sun finally peeked through the clouds, everything was set. “Fast” Freddy Fever from radio station WNAP in_ Indianapolis came into command, and with the word from the director, 2,544 Ball Staters jumped in the air. They leaped as high as they could with the hope of setting the world’s record for the most people to jump in the air simultaneously.

Vance Jump for It | magnyine In a matter of minutes the Quad was packed with people wearing red and orange T-shirts proclaim- ing “Jump For It” slogans. And when the word was given, sudden- ly the air was filled with hundreds of jumpers wearing orange and red, waving to the scores of cameras and dreaming of fame as commercial stars. They leaped in front of TV news cameras from WTHR and WRTV of Indianapolis, Cable News Net- work, WIPB of Muncie, and scores of radio stations and newspaper services from all over Indiana. The big event was also recorded by a film crew from Toyota Motor Sales of America. Toyota filmed the event for promotional pur- poses because of its campaign that used the slogan, “Oh what a feel- ing!” and the commercials of peo- ple jumping in the air. Toyota was Jump For It! also just anxious to be a part of the biggest jump ever. So were the students. Some came as mimes, some arrived dressed as clowns, but most just came as themselves. And everyone wanted to have his face seen in the massive jump. Some classes were cancelled, while others studied it by handing out surveys. The geology classes also measured the quake created when the 5,000 feet hit the ground. The jump was really like being in the movies. Cameras were everywhere, coordinators were be- ing interviewed, and there were producers and directors to get the job done right. Six officials judged the event to verify it for Guinness, and between jumps, the jumpers chanted “Ball-U, Ball-U, Ball-U.” And just like producing a real movie, there were problems and details to be worked out. The Wednesday weather forecast predicted rain, and sure enough Thursday morning it was foggy, gray, gloomy and, of course, rain- ing. The yearbook staff panicked. There could be no rescheduling the event. It was the only time Toyota could be there, and the advertising budget was gone. It was a one-shot deal. Miraculously at about 11 a.m. the sky started to clear.

Clad in Levis and Stetsons, they’re invading classrooms and barrooms, humming the latest Waylon Jennings tune and looking for downhome action.

Persis- tent, they've even succeeded making Homecoming 1980 their own with the theme “It’s a Wild, Wild Midwest.” ‘And a wilder homecoming few have seen, as the week began Mon- day, October 20 with kickoff games. The 12-member men’s, women’s, and coed teams tested their athletic prowess in five appropriately western events, including the Indian scout, and the stagecoach and pony express relays. Tuesday, October 21 saw cowboys and Indians pushing beds down a 100-yard course down McKinley Avenue by Whittenger College of Business as the first annual bedrace was held. Alpha Chi Omega Sorority and Clevenger Hall were winners in a field of 46 teams. Ball State alum- nus Brad Groniger of WLBC radio presided as master of ceremonies for the event, as Kappa Alpha Theta Sorority’s cat costumes won the best costume award. But Wednesday night, October 22 saw collegiate urban cowboys at their best, as perma-press cowboys and cowgirls clogged and strutted to the music of tobacco-chewing, fiddle-playing Charlie Daniels and that pig-tailed duke of country music, Willie Nelson at the Western Hoedown at LaFollette Field. The Friendly Steppers square dance troupe of Muncie performed and promenaded with students, while more adventurous paraders matched speed and agility with a mechanical bull, a replica of the one in “Gilleys.” The natural bronco busters were quickly singled out from the multitude of mere city- slickered hangers-on, who lost their hats and their seats in short order. An old tradition bit the dust as a new one emerged Friday, October 24, when the “Homecoming Variety ° Show” was replaced by the “Homecoming Musical Tribute.” The show emphasized the western theme of the week by using music from “Hello Texas,” as well as songs made famous by Charlie Daniels, Joe Walsh, Jimmy Buffet, and Tanya Tucker. continued On Wednesday, became the scene of a Western Hoedown. --photo by F.A.

The Stu- dent Center Governing Board presented the Jane Fonda-Robert Redford contribution to western chic, The Electric Horseman, on Thursday and Friday evenings. The film proved to be popular with students, who were witnesses to Willie Nelson’s first movie role. Homecoming 1980 was wrapped up on Saturday, October 25 with the Homecoming Parade and football game. The day started a bit dif- ferently from other homecomings in the past, however. Downtown Mun- cie was host for the first annual Pony Express Fun Run. The three-mile run began at the corner of Howard and High Streets and followed the parade route to University Gym, despite the cold and rainy weather which dominated the morning and the 50th annual Homecoming Parade. Gloved and coat-clad spectators withstood cold and gloom while Homeconing Queen Carolyn Cahill, Fort Wayne junior, and her court shivered along the parade route from downtown Muncie to the freshmen parking lot. The Delta Tau Delta - Sigma Kap- | - pa float won first place in the float | competition with a horse-drawn stagecoach driven by Charlie Car- dinal. The Alpha Tau Omega - Alpha Chi Omega float took second place. The gloomy weather seemed to be an omen as Homecoming 1980 ended the promise of a homecom- eatiaiaed ene cae variety show fit right in wah the Western theme of Homecoming. -- continued photo by F.A.

The multi-voiced impersonator demonstrated his talent for both vocal mimicry and physical imper- sonation of such diverse per- sonalities as Jack Benny and George Burns to Boris Karloff and Truman Capote. Little’s multi-faceted act included a spoof of Johnny Carson’s monologues, a debate between Jim- my Carter and Ronald Reagan, hosted by Walter Cronkite and David Brinkley, and a 20-minute musical medley featuring the voices of Johnny Cash and Kenny Rogers, as well as Neil Diamond and Tom Jones. Diversity was the trademark of Homecoming 1980. Festivities rang- ed from the unusual to the bizarre. A bed race, Rich Little, a mechanical bull and square dancing were just a few of the events that proved Homecoming 1980 was more than a football game. Homecoming may have had a western flavor this year, but it still represented Ball State through and through to the students and 10,000 alumni who attended.U The mechanical bull of “Urban Cowboy” fame challenged a few brave at heart students in the fields across from LaFollette.

Of those 90 teams, most of them ended up in the gray goosh. --photo by Larry Prazak Here’s Mud in Your E ye by Patty _byPattyLighty Old clothes were dug from the bottom of the closet and donned in anticipation of being pulled into the wet, muddy pit. Teams began arriv- ing at the Tug-O-War site up to an hour before the scheduled starting time. Last minute preparations were made and strategies were planned that would enable each ten-member team to pull its opposition into the gooey mess that served as the losers’ territory. Gloves were put on_ hands, followed by towels, and both were covered with masking tape in hopes of getting a better grip on the rope. The tape proved especially impor- tant as the day wore on because the rope became stickier and wetter as mud collected on it. Traction was also a problem as far as the tuggers’ feet were concerned. As more and more teams took their turn escaping the mud, the area around the pit became slippery. Cheering supporters came and gathered around the pit to shout en- couragement to each team. They clapped, jumped, and yelled both in an effort to keep warm in the near- freezing temperatures and to show their support for teams. Delta Zeta Sorority won the spirit competition of the day by out-yelling other sup- porters. As the two teams took the center stage around the muddy pit, one brave member of Theta Xi Fraterni- ty, who'sponsors the annual event, waded through the mud to center the red flag over the pit so neither team got an advantage or a disad- vantage. One, two, three, . . . Go! A whis- tle blew and both teams began tug- ging. In some cases it was over in a matter of minutes and the losers lay in the mud. However, in other cases the flag stood almost motionless in the center of the pit. Once the flag reached a certain point the tug was over and the next two teams stepped to the pit for their turn. This continued until only one team was left who hadn’t been tug- ged into the slimy pit. Although strength helps in this event, it is not necessary to win. More importantly is rhythm. All members of the team must be pul- ling at the same time in order to avoid the mud and to pull the op- posing team into the wet, sticky mess. The Sigma Tau Gamma Little Sisters proved too much for their competitors and won the women’s independent division, while the Powerhouse Pullers won the men’s independent. Residence hall division winners were Wilson Hall Team | in the women’s division and Hurst Hall Animals in the men’s division. The sorority division was captured by the women of Sigma Sigma Sigma, and the men of Delta Chi Battle Axes tugged their way to a win in the fraternity division. Overall winners for the day were the women of Wilson Hall Team | and the men of Delta Chi Battle Axes. As trophies were presented to the winners who escaped their bath in the mud, other team members who weren’t so lucky began their walk home to the shower.U Tug-O-War es) ty Strength wasn’t the most important factor in avoiding the pit, but it sure didn’t hurt either.

Both brillig and slithy are Carroll inventions—brillig, in Carroll’s definition, meaning late in the afternoon and slithy meaning “smooth and active.” Delta Sigma Theta’s Jabberwock was held, more accurately, in the late evenings of September 25—27. And the people involved in the event were very definitely smooth and active. Lori Caruthers announces con- testants in the line dance.

Vance More than just three nights of dance and party, Jabberwock is the black service sorority’s op- portunity to reach out to the Mun- cie community. Each year a senior girl from a Muncie High School receives a scholarship made possi- ble through Jabberwock’s pro- ceeds. Jabberwock is also an op- portunity for Ball State’s black population to be “slithy,” i.e. ac- tive and openly involved. Although still predominately a black function Delta Sigma Theta President Lori Caruthers wants it clear segregation stops at Jabber- wock. “Anybody who wants to come is welcome,” Caruthers said. BACK 0 Caruthers was actually paraphrasing Carroll, who in another line from the poem “Jab- berwocky,” said, “Come to my arms, my beamish boy.” To be beamish in Carroll’s day was to be “shining brightfully, radiant.” The 1980 Jabberwock offered the best in beamish and radiant peo- ple. Fresh from the pages of Ebony, Vogue, and Gentlemen’s Quarterly, bright, radiant women in calf-length dresses slit at the side and men with stylishly narrow ties and two-tone wing-tip shoes danc- ed the Jabberwock away.

Girls-- come on!” urged the auctioneer as she continued, “Once, twice, sold!” These comments were heard at the legs auction which was just one of the many fun, money-raising ac- tivities conducted during Campus Chest Week. Sporting the theme “Go For The Top, Don’t Stop,” Campus Chest workers labored dur- ing the week of November 2 through 8 with a goal of raising $8500 for Ball State and the Muncie community. When all the pennies and dimes from donations were eventually counted and recounted the total brought in was about $8000. Tammy McCoige, Lakeville senior and chairman for the 1980 Campus Chest week, said 31 posi- tions are held for the planning of the event which involves students from Greek and hall organizations as well as other student groups and faculty. McCoige said 75 percent of the money raised during Campus Chest week stays on campus and the largest share goes to Student Foun- dation for scholarships. The rest of the money goes to organizations such as Cerebral Palsy and Headstart to provide them with funds for extra expenses. Campus Chest week began with 1 pyramid building on Sunday, November 2, with Chi Omega 4 Sorority winning the women’s divi- sion and Sigma Alpha Epsilon win- ning in the men’s division. Monday and Tuesday, November 3 and 4, residence halls held auc- tions for anything from a kiss to some help with an English theme to NM] buying legs in exchange for a date. m ) Other hall money raising activities included paying money to soak staffs, getting tucked in at night, or having a bedtime story read by a member of the opposite sex. hest Full of Campus Craziness Hurlbut Hall raised the most money in hall auctions individually, while Wilson and Schmidt Halls rais- ed the most combined.

Candy Hankenhoff, New Castle freshman representing Baker Williams Halls raised the most money individually in street collections. Thursday, November 5, was a Greek auction raising approximately $2000 with Sigma Sigma Sigma Sorority spending the most money. Highlighting Campus Chest week was a 30 hour dance marathon held in the Student Center which began Friday night, November 7, with WIKS radio station (Kiss 99) supply- ing the equipment and disc jockeys. Chuck Crane, from Kiss 99, was there from noon until midnight on Saturday. The top two dance marathon couples brought in $1917 for Cam- pus Chest. The first place couple, comprised of Chi Omega’s Lori Hart, Muncie junior, and Beta Theta Pi’s Doug Cockerham, Columbus senior, raised $601. Manuel Carte, Puerto Rico junior, and Monica Hartley, Sandusky, Ohio senior, were the second place couple and brought in $587. Spirit awards were given to Chi Omega Sorority and Theta Xi Fraternity. A Greek’s overall trophy went to Chi Omega Sorority and overall hall trophies went to Hurlbut Hall and Baker Williams. McCoige felt this year’s Campus Chest was the most successful as far as participation and organization. The week of activities united the campus and the city, she said. Students and faculty from diverse backgrounds united in hard work and good fun to raise approximate- ly $8000, making the 1980 Campus Chest Week a definite success.

For at least a week before Round Robin, no man walking on campus is safe from the constant badgering whenever he dares to cross at the scramble light or at- tempts to slip through LaFollette. The familiar question can be heard everywhere. “Have you signed up for Round Robin yet? You are planning to go Greek aren’t you?” On September 28, approximate- ly 300 eager, young males toured the Ball State fraternity houses try- ing to find the right “frat” for them. This is the infamous Round Robin. Each house plans a presentation or has a general information session to try to attract the new blood. Each prospective pledge has the chance to look over the fraternities and find the things that interest him. After Round Robin the fun really begins. Every telephone pole and wall capable of bearing the load carries a sign telling of a fraternity rush function and begging for the attendance of all interested men. Advertising for these functions covers the pages of the Daily News for everyone to read. Just about the time the frater- nities stop overloading male population with posters and ads, the sororities begin pestering the females. For two solid weeks, the sorority rushees run from meeting to tea to get a taste of each organization. If a girl is lucky enough to still be in the running after two or three cuts, then she has her pick of the sororities that have not given her the axe. As soon as the sorority pledge classes are taken, the Little Sister groups begin scouting for their pledges. Al l interested women are encouraged to attend information hours and rush parties. Ads and posters are once again scattered all Greek Rush over campus informing everyone of the opportunity too good to pass up. Along with the rush season comes the theme parties. The Western style has become a very popular theme party as well as the fifties look. Since fall rush is at its peak in October, there is aiways the ever-popular Halloween party. The new theme on campus this year was copying the punk rockers. But rush is only the beginning, the tip of the iceberg. Next comes the months of pledge meetings and money making projects, pledge books and pins. There’s nothing like rush to create the stir and ex- citement of involvement whether joining the organization or being an innocent bystander. 0 Fraternities unlike sororities use parties to attract possible new brothers. Cash bars and keggars can be found by male rushees in almost every fraternity house on Rushee Sherri Anderson visits suites in an attempt to decide which sorority to pledge. --photo by Kim Ferrill. campus.

But don’t tell that to to the recipients of portions of over nine million dollars in Guaranteed Student Loans dur- ing 1980-81 at Ball State. During the last three years the number of students seeking loans has drastically gone up. In 1977 1,557 Guaranteed Student Loans : were processed by the Ball State University Department of Financial Aids. In 1978 2,878 loan applica- tions were received. Fiscal year 1980 saw a major increase of 4,900 ap- plications pass through the financial aids office. Although the applicants increas- ed, the amount of money available didn’t quite keep up with the drastic rate of inflation. In the fall when the letters announcing a_ person’s amount of aid finally came, many disappointed students began worry- ing about the impending bills. New budgets were hastily drawn. The increased number of applica- tions for Guaranteed Student Loans caused a backlog in the financial aids office. Extra staff members were ad- ded to speed up the processing and issuance of the $9,298,170 in stu- dent loans. “In no way were we able to an- ticipate . . .” said Norman Beck, Director of Student Financial Aid. “We were just not geared up to han- dle that kind of jump.” Beck saw many reasons for the in- creasing number of students re- questing loans. The 1978 Middle In- S loans went out to students 9 million in come Student Assistance Act eliminated income limits for ap- plicants and federal monies have been cut in the past few years. The economy is a big factor according to Beck. “There are more people that need to borrow,” he said. Only in rare circumstances are students refused loans, according to Thomas Maxwell, program ad- ministrator for Student Financial Aids. Guaranteed Student Loans are financed through a student’s hometown bank Difficulty comes when a student doesn’t belong to a bank or a savings and loan associa- tion. This happens to approximately 50 students a year, according to Maxwell. “When a student gets caught in that situation, it’s bad for the in- dividual,” Beck said, “but it’s not all that frequent.” There is little that can be done for a student who is unable to obtain a loan. “I can’t make the bank loan the money,” Beck said. Beck didn’t foresee an increase in the amount of money available for loans in the future, even though room and board rates will increase. “That sounds bad,” he said, “but most other agencies are going to be asked to decrease their budgets.” In an attempt to explain the complieated forms, Deborah Ivy goes over the aid request form with Melanie Pease, Franklin senior. --photo by Robert Bridges As Diane Hannah, receptionist, hands Melanie Pease all the necessary forms, Pease is apprehensive about the procedures. --photo by Robert Bridges . 143 Student Loans | maGaHMe Housing | MI Having one roommate can cause enough problems, but five girls liv- ing in one study lounge can be quite interesting. One of the major pro- blems was that someone always seemed to be coming or going. -- photo by Dave Cogner by Jennifer Kunce We all feel it. We felt it last year, and it’s closing in on us again this year. The housing crunch. Everywhere you look on campus there are people--18,430 of them. That figure is an increase of over 800 from last year. 2 Of those 18,430 students, about — 7250 of them live in residence halls and around 700 in married housing, Scheidler and Anthony Apartments. — When asked what kind of pro- — blems this increase in residents causes, director of housing Dr. Welker Bishop explained that it in- volves putting the overflow of Hall study lounges took the overflow of students. students in study lounges. The hous- ing office is exploring new ideas for the future, but for now the study lounges handle 100 percent of the problem. By the first month of school, however, as many as 100 students were moved out of the study lounges. According to Bishop, approximately two to three students drop out of school every day. This is not unusual and provides a chance to offer a room to those in the study lounges. But, interestingly, some of the study loungers that have had rooms offered to them have turned them down. Why would anyone choose to stay in a make-shift room with five other people, no closets, six beds, six desks, and six different per- sonalities? Perhaps because they like it. “T love it!” exclaimed Indianapolis Freshman Rosi Wooddell. She lives in a study lounge in Botsford with four other freshmen. One of their No roommates has already moved out. “When we first got here it was like summer camp,” said Wooddell. The room was arranged military-like and boring. The girls moved in, rear- ranged everything and made the room home. “Now it’s a slumber party every night,” said Wooddell. “We've gotten close to each other because we're all freshmen.” But she said there are nice upper classmen around to help and friend- ly staffs. Wooddell said she felt it was nice to always have someone around to talk to, to study with, and to eat with. Friendly laughter began to fill the room as the roomies shared how they felt about being Feelin More Room in the Inn ¢ the PINCH___ fellow study loungers. Jodi Reil, Connecticut freshman, agrees with her roommates. “I don’t mind it at all,” she said about the situation. Reil was offered a room in a dorm at the other end of campus and turned it down because she likes where she is and doesn’t want to move far away from her friends. She says, “You meet more people here, and | think there’s a lot more room than in the other rooms.” The five roommates have learned to share and to manage to put up with varying schedules and hours. Katy Radtke, Indianapolis freshman, says, We're not all in the room at the same time.” This helps cut some fric- tion. Also, Radtke explains that the girls have “learned to sleep with the light on.” From a guy's point of view the situation may be a little different, but not much. According to Tom Blat- chley, freshman from West Lafayette, “It’s O.K.” There are only four people left in his room. Two were offered a room and moved out. Blatchley said the room is pretty big and doesn’t cramp their style at all, and the guys seem to be getting along well enough. Blatchley said, however, if offered a room he would probably take it depending on where it was. “If it was across campus I'd at least go look at it first.” He feels he may want to stay in the same dorm where his friends are. So maybe the University goofed in it’s estimation of enrollment. It now estimates a decrease in the near future. In an article on the in- crease in the Daily News September 30, the final paragraph complained that the administration should “try telling those students living in study lounges that enrollment is in the pro- cess of decreasing. But then again, who from the administration lives in a study lounge?” True, none of the administrators live in the study lounges, but ac- cording to those students who do, it may not be quite so bad.0 After a few weeks of living in tight quarters, Scott Jacob, Jeff George, and Broc Watkins got to know each other rather well. --photo by Robert Bridges People living on the fourth floor of Edwards couldn’t use their study lounge for studying.

Some live in dorms, while others share apartments or houses. Some do it consciously, while others don’t even realize it. What is it that’s spreading all over Ball State, waving its controversial hand at everyone? It’s coed living. Living arrangements that once seemed out of the ordinary or unor- thodox are now becoming more and more common. These extraordinary practices are particularly acceptable around a college campus. Coed living should probably in- clude married couples who attend school. It should also include dor- mitories that are considered coed-- like Hurlbut, Menk, Jeep, Burkhart and Schmidt. But these aren’t the situations that cause problems. Liv- ing under these circumstances is considered all right. Since the university has married housing and coed dorms, it encourages students to live together. “The university has no desire to put restrictions on coed living,” said Welker Bishop, director of housing. “There’s no way we could restrict it. It’s an impractical suggestion.” But, when males and females chose to move off campus and share the same apartment, some people frown and talk about the disentegrating morals of today’s youth. It’s not easy to hide such living conditions from disapproving friends, family and co-workers. However, it is possible for normal males and females to live together in a platonic situation. Beth Holle, junior, shared a house with four men for one quarter. She was the only girl. “I needed a house close to campus and they needed a roommate,” Holle said. “There was nothing sex- ual about the living arrangement at all, it was purely platonic.” Although she said she felt strange telling so- meone about her roommates, they seemed to understand after she clarified the story. Some people just aren't meant to live together Coed Living Sherpa though, and that’s why Holle mov- ed out. She does not feel it had anything to do with her roommates being of the opposite sex. Indianapolis junior, Mark Fishback, lived under coed cir- cumstances, and saw nothing wrong with the situation. Fishback shared a house with two girls and one other guy. Although they had nothing other than basic roommate pro- blems, they found it difficult to con- front their parents with the coed plan. Afraid they would see her roommates as entirely unreasonable, one resident decided just not to tell her parents at all. But it’s not just the parents who fear coed living. Often landlords have it written into the contract that their property is for males or females. Students wishing to live with the opposite sex may have trouble finding a landlord who will approve. Granted, coed living is relatively new to our society today, but unusual is not always bad. For a lot of students it is simply a way to cut down expenses while living off cam- pus. For others, it’s easier to divide the work. Many girls see it as a bet- ter form of protection. Some people see it as wrong because it’s still new and different. Whether right or wrong, it was definitely a campus issue. It was something that students were con- fronted with daily and forced to make decisions about. 0 Living with another girl and her boyfriend has both advantages and disadvantages for Sue Konopka. --photo by Kim Ferrill ¥ ” pw = WZ On the Issue Three is Company “I NEEDED a place to live,” she said. “I had a place I was planning on, but when I found out a guy would be moving in too, I just wasn’t sure.

Dawna and Jim shared one bedroom. Sue had the other bedroom. As Sue said, it was “an interesting ar- rangement.” “When people find out, they say. ‘Oh, neat. Just like Three’s Company.’ But I don’t tell everyone. My parents don’t know. I came from a real strict, Catholic background. My parents can hardly accept that I’m even out on my own,” said Sue.

It’s Friday, and the lock struck eight nearly an hour go. All that is left for those behind is ne sweet, light fragrance of a windling perfume, and the sound f muffled laughter on its way out ie door. As the door shuts, a quiet lick echos down the barren halls, ‘ymbolizing the absence of some ‘ind to let others know they’re still afe inside. Dating has obviously been a natural occurance for many years, but it is the way that students go about that has changed so much. There once was a conventional way of dating, that is, guy asks girl. He picks her up and they go to a party or a movie, then he takes her home and the date is over. But all that seems to have changed. Now it is considered perfectly all right for a girl to ask a guy out. Although all of the “rules” have not been ironed out yet, it seems to be working well for some girls. It also seems that the dates are lasting a little longer. There is no mother or father on a campus to tell students when to come home, = Casual Consen ting Adults so many people decide to stay out all night. This can sometimes create a-problem for the freshman who is away from home for the first time. There are also the problems of hall staffs who have to deal with “over- night guests,” and, most important- ly, for the individual who for the first time may be having his morals challenged. There are those who will wait until marriage and there are those who will wait until the weekend. Leah Marlow, an_ Elkhart freshman, and a resident of Crosley hall says, “We’re adults or at least past the consenting age. You hear lots of things, like guys in the halls at night but no one ever says anything,” she said. Sue Siekman a senior from Rising Sun, and a staff at Crosley hall tells a different story. “Guy’s have to be out of the hall by 11:45 on week nights and 2:00 on weekends; it can get out of hand.” Siekman tries to enforce the laws. “We’re pretty strict, | mean if we see a guy in the hall after hours we do something about it,” she said. “He is asked to leave, and then escorted out.” The hardest part of this casual dating is that it can lead to casual sex. “No one thought bad of the girls at home because they always said they were in love, that’s the way it is here,” Marlow said. No one really cares, it’s up to the individual. Another problem Marlow sees is up- per classmen that date freshmen. “Older guys move in on freshman girls, and right away expect more than a kiss, that’s where the trouble starts,” she said. When a guy or girl decides to have a “friend” stay over night, and they get caught, there are dicipline procedures they must go through. It is referred to as being recorded, or written up. According to Kris John, Burkhart hall staff, the recording system is a long process. In Burkhart, because it is a co-ed dorm the hours are different than in all-girl dorm. For men and women that live there, the lounge and halls are open 24 hours. Also residents can visit other rooms until 3 a.m. People who do not live in Burkhart are asked to leave by midnight during the week and 2 a.m. on weekends. If people are caught in the building after hours they are recorded. After two recor- dings have been made third one will go to the housing office. The hall director has the power to put the stu- dent on probation, with the possibili- ty of turning them over to the Diciplinary Action Committee. The committee then decides if the stu- dent can stay in the dorm. “Two people have already gone through this process, and were asked to leave Burkhart,” John said. “With the rules how they are, 3 a.m., I’m usually in bed so we don’t worry about it (guests being in the rooms). “Except for the people who don’t live here, because they cause trouble and we like to get them out,” John said. Some of the guys who live in Burkhart do not see spending the night as a big problem. Paul Bowen, a resident of Jeep, and Mark Martin a resident of Jeep are two freshman. Bowen is a biology major, from Lawrenceburg. Martin is a business major from Logansport. “It bothers me if there is a lot of girls that go in and out of the same room, because that can get out of hand,” Bowen said. Martin says as long as they’re quiet he doesn’t mind. Both of these freshmen say they feel sex is quite casual on the campus. “It’s OK that girls spend the night, and if things happen they've got free birth control stuff at the student center, it great,” Martin said. “Today society is all geared that way. If they get protection then it’s OK. I had all the freedom | wanted in high school so this being out all night is nothing new,” he said. Bowen agreed, “If girls get protec- tion then this carefree stuff is OK,” he said. Martin had only one com- plaint about the whole situation. “Freshmen guys are low on the totem pole because girls want to go out with upper classmen, and frat guys. That’s the worse,” he said. No matter what the age it is a fact that life styles change from home life to campus life. The decision of how much change occurs is up to the in- dividual. 0 mage EMEC RE may 1S er when he has h --photo by Patty omen around. 2 7) w vU s = 3 S v J % o 2 uy dying .a lot easi WAga ye | Sex | One of the most popular items in the Ball State Bookstore was the nightshirt that boasted of nighttime activities. --illustration by Kim Ferrill The desks at most men’s halls subscribed to such publications as Hustler, Playboy, andPenthouse. --illustration by Kim Ferrill by Heidi Resik Dear Mom, Stop worrying.

He wasn’t trying to grope me, he was just trying to com- municate with me at a deeper and more sensitive level. That’s all. So there, you see, I told you that college co-eds weren't all perverted sex maniacs. In fact I only know of two or three. There’s one girl that they say actually kisses with her mouth open! Ughh. And do you remember Suzy? She was the girl you thought would be a bad influence on me. Well, I just thought I would let you know that the guy you saw coming out of her room wearing only a bath towel was just borrowing shampoo from her. That’s what she told me. She is so sweet and friendly. All the boys from downstairs come up to visit her. Once someone said that her ma- jor is Anatomy. Everybody else laughed, so maybe she’s not doing very well in her classes. But it’s not because she doesn’t study. She always refuses to play Euchre with us because she wants do go over her Anatomy with Drake, a fellow from downstairs. I really liked Biology from high school...so | asked Drake if | could study with them sometime. I must not look like the studious type, though, because he sure look- ed surprised. When he finally recovered his senses, he said it sounded like a lot of fun. From the look he gave me, I can hardly wait. Mom, I’m so glad I can talk to you about these things. My friends are acting so strange. I just don’t unders- tand. Some of the girls take a kind of vitamin every morning that I have never seen before. In fact, they are To Be Young and Innocent so into the vitamins that they panic every time they forget one. And some of the words they use I just can’t find in the dictionary you gave me for graduation. There’s something else I don’t understand, Mom. I remember what you said about the evils of French kissing and hickies. But it just doesn’t seem to be true at college. These girls do it all the time, but they don’t seem to be getting pregnant and developing warts on their noses, like you said would happen. Maybe it has something to do with all those vitamins. Oh, yes, I did find out why I hear the fire door buzz early in the morn- ings. But I don’t think you really want to know. Just like you don’t want to hear about the time I noticed a boy in the showers at 5 a.m. Anyway, it was all O.K. It must have been, especially since one of the floor staffs was washing his back.

Joe is going to come over and he says we are going to get to know each other better. Tell Dad and Sis Shi, Love and Kisses, Heidi Sex Satire apatite Life ina High'Society a by Steve Ferry Only one conclusion about student attitudes towards drugs and alcohol can be drawn. That one answer is that there is no one answer. Student attitudes towards drugs and alcohol are as diverse as the students themselves. It’s a fact. Student use of drugs and alcohol is on the rise. The reason for the popularity was one of the few subjects generally agreed upon. “I think most people just see it as a good time,” said one Ball State junior. “They do it because everyone else is doing it and it’s just plain fun,” he said. Terri Nelson of Aquarius House Incorporated, a local drug counsel- ing and information center, agreed. “Our society in general prefers to look at things with an ‘it’s better to feel good’ attitude,” said Nelson. If you're fat, skinny, depressed, sleepy, awake or whatever, there is a drug to make you feel better. “There certainly is an increase in student usage of drugs. That in- cludes everything from am- phetamines and barbituates to mari- juana and alcohol. And alcohol is definitely a drug,” she said. John Moore of the Alcohol and Drug Treatment Center, another local drug information and counsel- ing center, felt college-age students were prime targets for drug and alcohol usage. “Addiction is growing percent- age-wise in all age categories, but 18 to 25 year-olds are the primary alcohol addiction age group,” said Moore. Most of the students interviewed felt they had easy access to alcohol and, if they were interested, could find contacts for drugs. “Anybody can find someone of age to buy beer or booze for them,” said one off campus sophomore. “I wouldn't want any, but I know where I could buy drugs if I did,” she said. Alcohol is illegal in most on cam- a Sl eapogice pus dormitories and illegal drugs are never permitted on University pro- perty. However, both alcohol and drugs usually avoid the rules and regulations of the University and Campus Police. “University rules are good, but they are highly unenforceable,” said Sgt. William Grass of the University Police. We really have few drug busts. Students rarely rat on one another, whether it be drugs, theft, or a pull- ed fire alarm,” he said. “The university setting makes it hard for us. We’re considered the other guys,” said Grass. The comments received from students ranged from one extreme to another. Some students felt alcohol and drugs had no place on or off campus. Others felt alcohol and drug usage should be com- pl etely free from any regulation. However, most students took a middle-of-the-road view. One on campus junior had a very negative opinion about drugs. “Anything that affects your mind like alcohol and drugs do is bad,” he said. “People do things they wouldn’t normally do. They get in arguments, fights and trouble. I’ve seen a lot of people hurt themselves and others both mentally and physically. People try to cope with problems through drugs, but that just adds to the problems. Drugs and alcohol are acop out,” he said. A freshman student had a more liberal view towards drugs. “The University policies towards alcohol are terrible. They're way too strict,” he said. “There’s nothing wrong with drugs if a guy feels he can handle it. I can handle it,” he said. “I had a couple of friends drop out of high school because they were too much into drugs, but I can handle it. I’ve gota 3.75 GPA. “If someone doesn’t want to drink or take drugs, no one should pressure them to. If someone does want to, they should be able to. It’s something personal,” he said. Most students took a middle-of- the-road approach to the problem. halls. Broc jow : “I wouldn’t want any, but 1 know where I could buy drugs if | did,” said one off campus sophomore. “I accept it a lot more today than | did when I was in high school. A lot of people close to me have used mescaline and speed, but it doesn’t really offend me,” he said. | know one guy that it ruined his whole life. Some people do it for a good time, but others do it to try and cope. It’s the copers who get really screwed up.” Another student, _ personally against drugs, felt education was the most important thing for those who use drugs. “If people know what they are doing to their bodies, maybe they wouldn’t take the more harmful drugs,” he said. “If people understand what the. drug will do to them then they won't drive or hurt others. It scares me when I see drunk or high drivers.” According to Nelson, college students are not the only ones in- volved with drugs. “It has spread into the profes- sionals, youngsters, and even the elderly,” she said. Regardless of personal beliefs about drugs and alcohol, one fact can’t be denied. Alcohol and drugs have become an important factor in today’s society.U Bottles of rum and vodka were as common at football games as fans and cheers.--photo by F.A. Phillips, Jr. Burning marijuana can be smelled for blocks. --photo by Kim Fer- rill While the days were still warm, students gathered in the Quad to smoke marijuana. The Arts Terrace is a favorite smoking place. --photo by Kim Ferrill Victims of Reefer Madness by Pamela Records They appeared to be normal, healthy college students. They wore bluejeans, carried backpacks and ate at Taco Tico every Friday night. They were a group of promising students...ideal--except for one minor flaw; they were the innocent, helpless victims of Reefer Madness. Not many people suspected, but they actually smoked marijuana. And they smoked it a lot. Their case was so hopeless that they didn’t even realize how quickly they were sinking down into the depths of ad- diction and mental perversion. There was no helping them. When they named their bong the “Enter- prise” it was clear that their brain cells were disintegrating. But when they named someone “Keeper of the Sacred Weed” it was obvious that they were not just some amateur smokers. They were experts. To them marijuana was more than an illegal, mind-controlling substance; it was an escape, a high, a habit. They almost couldn't help themselves. Their horror stories began on Friday afternoons. One of the gang would come home from a long, boring class, drop his books on the floor, turn on Bob Seger and say, “Man, where’s the dope?” Then the rest was ritual. The weekend of weirdness began with the search. They began calling every user they knew, hoping to find somebody with some, willing to sell some. Like a war call on jungle drums, their cry of need would go out to all the other terrible tokers. At times the search would seem endless; all the contacts were dried up or too stoned to even answer the phone. On those nights the gang would be in agony. Having to watch “The Incredible Hulk” while straight would almost do them in. But then the call of mercy would come. A friend of an ex-roommate’s friend’s cousin had a baggie he was willing to part with. Then quickly the collection of dollars, quarters and 1.0.U.’s would be made and carefully, secretly delivered to the exchange point. When the deal was made, they would all sigh and hurry home with the bag tucked safely in a sock. After all the curtains were pulled, the doors locked and the victims seated in a circle on the floor, the sacrifice of brain cells would begin. It was usually the senior member of the troop that got the honors. Nimbly he would separate the seeds and stems on a Barbara Streisand double album cover and expertly demonstrate his skill on his joint roller. The others watched in awe and anticipation. Then someone in a hushed voice would utter the code phrase for getting stoned. “Let’s go to the Bahamas...” The rest was always chaos. After only a few minutes they would begin smiling and squinting. They would lose control and become puppets to the killer weed. The joint, glowing in the dim, smokey room, would slow- ly travel around the circle. Each vic- tim would take it, study it for a mo- ment, take a long, deathly toke, pass it on, exhale and then cough. “Boy, am I loaded. | can’t remember when I’ve been this load- ed. Do I look loaded?” one rasping voice from out of the smoke would gasp. “What if Eleanor Roosevelt could fly...” someone would answer. “I can feel my cheekbones,” whispered one lost soul. “Sambos. Sambos. Sambos. Sambos. Sambos...” chanted a swaying, starving victim of the mun- chies... And so the weekend would con- tinue. They would smoke one joint after another, pausing only long enough to devour bags of sour cream and onion potato chips, to study each others’ feet and to sing Drugs — AGI TA “Rodriguez the Mexican Pervert.” At times they would switch to the bong, Enterprise, and take a voyage into worlds unknown, boldly going where no man has gone before. And the room would get smokier and the smokers would get higher. By the second or third orbit even “Saturday Night Live” would seem intellectually stimulating and toenails fascinating. They would continue their strange, mindless escapades--until, finally, they could On the Issue Weekends take it no longer. Then they would collapse in limp heaps on the floor and have a stoned slumber party. Eventually, however, they would recover their senses. They would once again disassemble and hide all the paraphernalia. As if nothing had happened, they would return to classes on Monday. Their life as students continued. No one knew of their hopeless situation. No one ever suspected that they were vic- tims of Reefer Madness 0 Were Made for... “I live for the weekends and the parties,” said one student. “Getting high makes me forget the problems of the week. I feel better and I get along with people better when I’m stoned,” he said. “I drink a lot of beer, but I don’t like getting high,” said a second-year student. “I’ve taken speed a few times, but I didn’t like it. Speed just makes you stay awake, ” he said. “I usually drink on the weekends,” said a female senior. “I loosen up and have fun when I’m drunk. Getting drunk is a blast.” Another female student felt differently about drugs and alcohol. “Drugs scare me. I drink a little at parties, but I’ve only been drunk once,” she said. “I got sick.” John Moore, counselor for the Alcohol and Drug Treatment Center felt most people did not understand all the effects of alcohol and drugs. “People feel they are more knowledgeable about drugs than they really are;” he said. “It’s a lot like sex. Everybody thinks he knows everything. But when it gets down to the nitty gritty, people don’t know as much as they thought,” he said. --by Steve Ferry Those trying to make a profit on marijuana, buy it by the pound and divide it up for their customers. --illustration by Kim Ferrill The white smoke and the distinct smell of a joint pervade a dim- ly lit room--illustration by Kim Ferrill Ronrico appeared at football games more and more as the weather got colder.--photo by Tony DeCristofaro : When the books begin to pile up, many resort to Jack Daniels to help them through the pressures. --illustration by Kim Ferrill agai Tl oo Satire Attack of A pprenension by Patty Lighty Eight “qualified, licensed full- time physicians” and 11 registered nurses are employed by the universi- ty to care for the “general health of the student.” However, some students seem to think the Amelia T. Wood Health Center and its doctors and nurses fail to provide them with quality health care. “They gave me medicine that I was allergic to. I told the doctor before he prescibed it to me, but he gave it to me anyway,” said Nancy Simpson, Elkhart sophomore. As stories about the Health Center circulate, other students become ap- prehensive about going there. There is nothing that makes one more hesi- tant than hearing stories told by friends or fellow students about their bad experiences. Donna Neilson, Elkhart junior said, “A doctor at the Health Center told a friend of mine she had appendicitis. The only bad thing about that was the fact that she had already had her appendix removed.” Even the Health Center personnel sometimes fail to instill confidence in their patients. “A nurse told me before I was examined that the doc- tor who was to examine me used to Health Center i beageqae be a surgeon and was good at per- forming appendectomies. She said every time someone complains of stomach pains, he diagnoses them as having appendicitis,” John Wien- ing, Griffith junior said. Despite complaints, there are ad- vantages. One of the benefits of the Health Center is its low costs to students. A student going there is able to get an examination without paying for it. If after being examined the patient is prescribed medication, it can often be obtained at the Center’s pharmacy for substantial discounts. What some students may fail to realize is that some of the money in the Health Center’s budget each year comes directly from student fees. Of the $710,709 budgeted to the Health Center during the 1980- 81 academic year, money came from student fees, the state, and other sources in the general fund, said Gordon Sleeper, Controller. This is one of the reasons the Health Center does not have to charge for students’ examinations, which is very helpful to the student on a tight budget. Some doctors, however, may get carried away with prescribing medication to students. When Senior Margot Farber visited the Health Center during Winter Quarter, she was given five different kinds of medication, one of which was supposed to stop her runny nose Farber did not have a runny nose and had not mentioned that symptom to the physician. Another student, Patty Kemps, Hartford City sophomore, said, “I’ve been to the Health Center about 20 Be different times and they’ve given me enough medication that I could pro- bably run my own pharmacy.” Although it seems that most students had only negative points to make concerning the Health Center, some were not so harsh. Suzanna Stumpf, Milford Ohio senior, said, “The Health Center does a pretty good job if all you have is a cold. If f it’s anything more serious than that, I usually consult my family doctor.” Actually that is how the University sees the Health Center. According to the University STAT File concern- | ing the Health Center, “It does not attempt to replace a student's private | physician or assume full responsibili- tv for the students’ health needs.”U Watching one of the two televisions provided by the Health Center In- firmary helps Paul Domi pass time. -- photo by F.A.

Phillips, Jr. On the Issue Personalities Mesh “WE try to provide medical care and health education for all of the students,” said Dr. Julia L. Adams, and Director of Stu- dent Health. In response to students’ complaints about the Health Center, Adams said, “We try not to let it upset us when we hear flack. Sometimes personalities don’t mesh and that can cause unhap- piness. Misunderstandings are often a source of problems.” She continued, “One almost has to judge cases on individual merit. I’m sure many students don’t understand the administra- tion’s arrangements with other services.” “Sometimes students come in the middle of the night and want care right now when the nurse doesn’t think it necessary, ” Adams said. “Many things can wait till morning, and it’s hard for students to accept that if they’re frightened or scared.”’ Money can be another possible source of problems with the Health Center, but Adams doesn’t feel this is really an issue with the students receiving the best possible care. “Of course at the Health Center we have a system in which the administra- tion pays for a student to make one visit to a specialist for diagnosis. Now if the student would pay for visits to specialists or student fees were raised, this would help,” Adams said. “Money to run the Health Center comes from student fees, legislature, and other sources. “We are budgeted and stuck with it. We don’t always have all of the equipment desired, but we have what’s necessary. There’s no good to lack for good help in that respect. We have good relations with X-ray and pathology labs in Muncie,” Adams said. “When patients feel they’ve been put upon or they’re unhap- py, they should come in and talk to us,” Addams emphasized. She added, “We’re always glad to hear from s tudents. Our doc- tors are always interested in the students and pretty experienc- ed at treating people of all ages.” --by Karin Klute Physical therapy allows Susan Crowden, Lafayette senior, time for more entertaining interests.

The bad ones are the only ones we have any conflicts with,” said Mann- ing. “In general, we have a good working relationship and just try to treat students like everybody else,” he said. “We’re on- ly human.”--by Steve Ferry Campus Police mmm 222777 ee od ee nen The Brigade of Men in Maroon by Margit Willis They are the Campus Cops. The men and women in maroon who work in an unreal world of 18- 24 year olds, where the theft of a wallet is a major catastrophe and responding to fire alarms can become a part of one’s everyday routine. They are seen as chauffeurs by sick students waiting for a ride to the Health Center. They are seen as lec- turers by students reporting thefts and they are seen as the enemy by many of the recipients of parking tickets. Rarely are they seen as pro- fessional police officers. “Give tickets to cars. That’s all I see them do,” said one Ball State co-ed. “Yes, we are professionals,” said Tom Osborn, director of the Office of Traffic, Safety and Security. “Whatever police do, University police do. We are law enforcement officers and we have our authority from the state of Indiana.” Their job is to provide police service to University personnel and the University area. Their jurisdiction in- cludes all of Delaware County. To become a University police of- ficer, a candidate must meet all the qualifications of an Indiana police of- ficer. The University runs con- tinuous training programs and many officers have qualified to become Emergency Medical Technicians on their own time. “We try to be as pro- fessional and efficient in doing our service as possible,” said Osborn. Three shifts of uniformed divisions patrol campus 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The office of Traffic, Safety and Security also has a team of investigators. A dispatcher monitors all radio and fire calls and has contact with 70 cities in Indiana and all 50 states. Students, however, complain a lot about the Campus Police Force. As one irrate student said, “It seems like when you need one, they’re never around. They're all probably parked somewhere just talking and eating donuts. It’s rather ridiculous.” The Daily News was especially full of complaints during Fall Quarter when the issue of security and rape on campus came up. “People don’t really know what the police are doing and they are quick to criticize,” said Osborn. Part of their job does involve writing parking tickets, authorizing tows and taking students to the Health Center. “One of ourbiggest prob- lems is helping to keep safe the property of the University and University personnel from theft.” “It was routine and it was just another report to fill out, but it wasn’t for me,” commented a Ball State student after she reported her wallet stolen to the University police. “He (the police officer) didn’t try to be mean, he just kind of lectured. | felt bad enough and he didn’t help matters by telling me what I did wrong. I just think he could have been a lot more sympathetic, but there wasn’t anything he could do.” It’s been my experience that the police on this campus are really serious about doing their job well,” said Jay Farlow, Fremont senior. “They're not here to bust heads. They really care about the students and they care about what’s going on. You've got to face it. This is not the best police job to have.” Transporting sick and _ injured students to and from the Health Center is one of the duties of the Campus Policemen.

They are the drivers of the buses that transport students to and from classes. Drivers board the bus early in the morning, carrying a daily supply of coffee and donuts, and drive their ten hour routes, picking up and letting off those students who find the distance to classes just a little too iong. Bob Merryweather, 27, has been driving for the Muncie bus service for two years, and he’s been driving for Ball State for two months. “I don’t talk to people a whole lot. I’m really kind of in- troverted,” Merryweather said. “But the people are all real nice to me. They always say ‘hi’ and ‘thank you.”” And I always wait for someone when I see them running,” Merryweather con- tinued. --by Patty Hughes and Patty Lighty Transportation cuameomea |i aczaeni Transportation Challenge by Sharon Griffey Nf you don’t mind the 15 to 20 minute walk to classes, and if your feet are in excellent condition, you probably don’t even know that there is a transportation problem on cam- pus. But there is. There are constant complaints, battles between the administration and students, and daily arguments with traffic officers or University cadets. Angry words often flare, but too often they are spoken to sym- pathetic friends or mumbled in- coherently to oneself. For those times when the words do fall on the right ears, it seems nothing is ever done to remedy bad situations. Overcrowded parking lots are at their worst. The problem is par- ticularly hard for students who live off campus or commute and must drive to and from their classes. They must leave a lot earlier than other students in order to find a place to park. Kim Lockhart, Indianapolis freshman, stated that she did not br- ing her car to campus this year because of the restriction that freshmen can only park their cars in the freshmen parking lot, past the Duck Pond. Another transportation complaint is the shuttle bus service provided by the University. Students grumble that fumes often come into the bus, making the ride quite unpleasant. Some busses are cold in the winter, and riders almost need to do calisthenics in the aisle to keep warm. Many times students who walk to class will see an empty bus go by, or one that has very few passengers in it. Could the above reasons possibly be why there is a lack of riders?

Perhaps more should travel the side streets and allow off campus students to take advantage of them. Yet, all of these complaints pose only one side of the issue. The ad- ministration takes a different pro- spective on each stand. They realize there is not as much parking as the students would like, and perhaps not even as much as there should be, but they contend there is no more available space to build addi- tional parking lots. The Administration also consider themselves as doing the students a favor to the students by allowing them cars on campus. The best il- lustration would be Miami Universi- ty, located in Oxford, Ohio, which allows no student, whether on or off campus, to keep a car within the city limits. This is the most controversial point for them, but there is no sign of any change. Many other large universities require a student to be at least a sophomore or junior before he is allowed a car on campus. Does this show leniency on the part of Ball State Administration that should be praised rather than con- demned? Controversies, issues, unsettled feelings are all a part of campus life. No one will win.

While most people moving off- campus found the freedom they sought, some did not. One landlord had rules prohibiting more than two visitors at one time. This could put a cramp in any plans for a wild party. Most tenants were satisfied with their landlords, but many were not. One renter, who wished to remain anonymous while waiting to receive her damage deposit, complained about needed repairs. A back door lock had broken and left easy access to the four girls’ apartment inside. It took two burglaries and angry threats from irate fathers to get the lock fixed--six months later. Three of the girls’ bedrooms had no locks on the first floor windows-- another security problem, and the fourth bedroom’s windows were nailed shut--a possible fire hazard.

Most off- campus students were willing to stretch their legs a little more for the transporta- tion, but food still posed a problem for some. “I’m not a very good cook,” said Camille Sexton. “I eat a lot of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, now that I live off-campus. I think the dorm food was a lot better than what I’m eating now,” she said. Some off campus students still ate their meals in the residence halls, but many preferred to cook their own T.V. dinners and macaroni and cheese.

With the rash of resignations and appointments, the most recent being that of the president, the administrators are now the ones being shuffled. A search and screen committee 1 ‘chaired by Will Parker, president of the board of trustees, selected Anderson in January of 1979. Anderson was officially inaugurated as president in October of 1979. Only 18 months later, during a special meeting of all faculty and ‘professional personnel on Jan. 30, 1981, Anderson’s resignation was announced by Parker. Parker also announced the board’s appointment of Robert Bell as the next Ball State president. The resignation of Anderson was never officially explained and left faculty, staff and students guessing the reasons behind the move and how it would effect the University. “I don’t know why Anderson was asked to resign,” said Gary Crawley, assistant professor of political science. Crawley said “philosophical dif- ferences” was the only thing the faculty was told, and that didn’t tell him much. “I was kind of left in the dark and I assume the whole faculty felt that way,” he said. “Bell was chosen because he represents the historical Ball State. Anderson’s decisions didn’t match traditional Ball State views,” said Crawley. “Things will be much the same as they were before Anderson becarne president. Any plans Mr. Anderson made will be put on a back burner until a permanent president is ap- pointed,” said Dr. Richard Lorette, professor of management science. “Bell seems to have many friends. He collaborates well with the legislature and that is important,” said Lorette. “It was all politics. You get the feeling that Anderson didn’t do what the board wanted so they got rid of him,” said dill Lane, Gas City sophomore. “Tm not defending Anderson, but it makes the University look unstable. Nobody is going to put money into a university that is unstable,” said Lane. “Anderson was his own man,” said Michael Teegardin, Nappannee junior. “He wanted to run this university like a president should, but the bank president and the board of trustees oing’ the “Presidential Shuffle” wanted to run the whole show. Anderson wasn’t a pushover so he was out,” said Teegardin. “The whole thing really stinks,” he said. Anderson’s resignation was only one of several at Ball State. In February of 1980, Provost Richard Burkhardt resigned under pressure from Anderson. Five days later, Dean of Sciences and Humanities Robert Carmin resigned. In June of 1980, Vice President of Business Af- fairs Robert Bell also resigned, but then he was appointed president of the University. Faculty, staff and student opinion varies widely, but most people seem to feel the administration should do a lot less shuffling and a little more administrating. Will Parker, president of the Board of Trustees, announces the resigna- tion of Anderson. “Philosophical differences” were cited as the cause. --photo by Robert Bridges ommunity Contlict On the Issue Aw by Jennifer Kunce and Pamela Records hey live in the same place, but their lifestyles vary greatly. They share the same restaurants, stores and gas stations, but they don’t dress alike, talk alike or act alike. They’re neighbors, but not always friends. The Muncie residents and Ball State students are stuck with each other, but they don’t always like it. Although relations between the ci- ty and the university are usually rather peaceful, there were times during the year when tension could be sensed. Issues such as the lack of parking around campus and the sudden enforcement of zoning laws for student apartments caused emo- tions to flare. Students complained about the Muncie old stuffed-shirts, and the residents complained about the lazy, noisy, good-for-nothing students. The campus and the com- munity were divided.

The law has been on the books since 1973, but is just now being enforced. The section affecting students who live off-campus states that no more than three unrelated people can live in a house zoned for single family dwelling. Due to limited budgets and lack of on campus housing, many students are sharing houses with more than three people. Over 11,000 students live off campus. Muncie Mayor Alan Wilson said if the landlords currently renting homes in this manner agree to convert to single family dwellings in the spring when school is out, the city will wait before enforcing the law. But students are worried about next year, especially those without transportation. The Riverside-Normal City Neighborhood Association pointed out the zoning law to the city. Spokesman for the association, William Wright, said their reason for doing this was that they didn’t want to turn the neighborhood into a slum. Some of the problems, according to Wright, are noise, parking, and lack of upkeep. Mayor Wilson said, however, that the city is not “anti-student.” Homeowners in the area have varying opinions about the students living near them. Bruce Gillum, member of the neighborhood association, said “There should be a neighborhood zoned for students, but not in mine.” Jim Stevens, who lives on North Street, said “I have students living on both sides of me, across the street and alley. They don’t bother me.” Joseph Mumpower, one of seven landlords who received a notice from Muncie Community Development concerning overcrowding of tenants, claims his properties are exempt from the ordinance on grounds of a non-conformity clause. Mum- power said the city is taking a special interest in the case, and he complained about a lack of support from the University in his fight. “Most universities stand by their students. They use their political clout. But this one lets the city kick them around,” said Mumpower. --by Jenny Kunce magerine years. --photo by Robert Bridges articles about residents complaining of rowdy parties, loud noises, and | discarded beer cans.

She feels Ball State is | a good academic school, and that it contributes a lot to the city of Mun- cie. One of the things the Albrights like about Muncie is the programs offered at Emens. In the past years, the Albrights have attended many concerts, plays, and productions. Like the Albrights, many residents attend the campus productions. In fact, for some Emens performances Muncie residents seem to fill most of the seats. “They always get the front row seats. They buy up all the good tickets in the summer before we even have a chance,” said one Plainfield junior. “It just doesn’t seem fair to students.” Emens, however, is a community auditorium, partially funded by the cit — Landlord Carl Bowman, who owns many apartments in the area and rents about 30 percent of them to students, is pleased with the students as a whole and agrees that Ball State is a worthwhile contribu- tion to Muncie. Bowman, design engineer for Ontario Corporation, owns, lives-in, and rents rooms out of the house across from the Prac- tical Arts building. He likes living on campus and has for eleven years. He gets perturbed when residents complain about living near the school when that is where they chose to live. “Many of these people don’t realize the college was here before they were,” he explained. Besides Bowman, there are several other businessmen and women that benefit from Ball State and its students. According to a study conducted by Joseph Brown, director of the Bureau of Business Research in the College of Business, Ball State students spend at least $128 million a year. The University also produces some 9,400 jobs, about 20 percent of the Muncie workforce. The University is definite- ly a significant influence on Muncie. “The study reflects the fact that universities are big business,” said President Jerry Anderson. Although the campus has a major economic impact, many students feel that it doesn’t change the way the community reacts to the cam- pus. “All these students supply jobs, income, and money to the city, and get treated bad in return by area merchants,” said Dan Payne, East Chicago senior. He described the way businesses near campus seem to inflate their prices because they know that students without cars are forced to shop at those near-by places. It’s like a mini-monopoly. Payne also felt that the university ad- ministration doesn’t give the students enough support. He especially pointed out the cases in- volving the zoning law restrictions and off-campus students. Payne ad- ded that he would like to see, in ad- dition to a change in administrative attitude, a better means of com- munication between the city and the University. He would like to find a more receptive community. “After all,” he said, “we live here nine months of the year.” As a whole it seems that Muncie residents like Ball State, except when they charge unreasonable prices and try to take advantage of them. This, however, depends on every individual. It is true the University is an atmosphere geared strictly toward people with, or trying to achieve, a higher education. This has always caused somewhat of a sociological gap. A vast gap of com- munication and misunderstanding seems to separate the two groups at times. But they go on being neighbors. They have to. Ball State is an unavoidable part of Muncie. And some people appreciate it, some resent it, some use it, others ignore it.U At the intersection of Walnut and Granville, Chief Muncee, a symbol of the town’s heritage, endures the weather. --photo by Robert Bridges.

Americans complained in unison. The American voice turned to one of anguish in December as the assassination of former Beatle and peace activist John Lennon brought violence out of f oreign lands and in- to American living rooms. Thousands gathered outside the Dakota apartment building in New York where he, wife Yoko, and a five-year-old son Sean lived, singing Lennon songs and lighting candles. Sean informed the press that his father is now a part of something much bigger, and slowly Americans returned their attention to Iran and the 52 who missed still another afraid to let their children out of their sights, anxiously awaited news of still another murder. More than 20 black childrenwere murdered by an unknown assailant, about whom police could only speculate. Green ribbons to mourn the dead appeared as far away as Indiana, where Ball State students marched, and others simply prayed. Protests and controversy marked the passing of Steven Judy, con- victed rapist and murder, and the first execution to take place in In- diana in several years. Judy refused to appeal his sentence, although anti-capital punishment groups pro- tested the legal taking of a life for a life until the switch was pulled.

Reagan was hit in the left lung by a ricochetting bullet as Secret Servicemen put their lives on the line once again.

Americans watched the drama from their T.V.s but news coverage wasn’t the same without Walter Cronkite, who retired as an- chorman, from CBS Evening News. The absence of the fatherly Cronkite seemed toexemplify the mood of the year--the haunting sense of loss that always seemed to be just around the corner.

While Indiana’s Dan Quayle, Republican Candidate for Senate, campaigned by calling for a “New Generation of Leadership,” Presidential candidate Reagan, also a Republican, who was approaching 70 years old, campaigned saying it was “Time for a Change.” Not even the experts predicted the outcome of the 1980 election ac- picked Reagan as the winner, but few were able to predict his actual margin of victory. On the first Tuesday in November, over 84 million voters went into the voting booth, pulled the curtain, and cast a vote for their chosen candidate. Most of those who pulled the voting levers early that day, did not realize that they would be watching incumbent Presi- dent Jimmy Carter delivering his concession speech by 10 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, while peo- ple on the west coast were still casting their ballots. When the returns were tabulated, Reagan had won 489 of the possible 583 electoral votes. He captured all the big electoral states, including California, New York, Ohio, and II- linois. Carter won only Georgia (his home state), West Virginia, Rhode Island, Maryland, Minnesota (Vice President Walter Mondale’s home state), Hawaii, and the District of Columbia, which accounted for Carter’s 49 electoral votes. The possibility of a Carter defeat first became apparent as the tearful President returned to Plains, Georgia to vote, while a smiling Ronald Reagan cast his vote in his home state of California. On the state level, Birch Bayh fell victim to the “fourth-term jinx” that has plagued Indiana Senators since 1914. Bayh lost to two-term Representative from the Fourth District, Dan Quayle. The last senator to suffer defeat seeking a fourth consecutive term was Vance Hartke, who lost to Richard Lugar. Now for the first time since 1958 In- diana will have two Republican senators. Quayle visited the campus late in October and spoke to a packed room on the campaign issues. He then conducted a short question answer session before going back to campaigning. College Republicans volunteered some of their time campaigning for Republican candidates on the na- tional, state, and local level. They distributed information door-to- door, called registered voters, and sponsored Quayle and 10th District candidate, Bill Fraizer’s visits to cam- pus. Throughout the entire campaign, polls showed Bayh and Quayle to be even; however, the final margin of victory for Quayle was ten percen- tage points. Quayle captured 55 per- cent of the Indiana votes casts, while Bayh got 45 percent. On the local level, Republican Frazier challenged incumbent Phil Sharp for a third consecutive time. This year, however, Frazier closed the gap and Sharp’s margin of vic- tory was 53 percent to Frazier’s 47 percent of the vote. Sharp is a former Ball State assistant political science professor. Independent presidential can- didate John Anderson’s support seemed to diminish as election day ashington drew nearer. The Anderson buttons that were visible in the spring became invisible as fall came. They were replaced by Reagan and Carter buttons. According to the January edition of Life magazine 3,000,000 official Carter pins and some 4,000,000 Reagan buttons were displayed. On January 5 members of the House of Representatives and Senate were sworn in and began serving their terms. And on January 20 President Ronald Reagan and Vice President George Bush were sworn in on the traditional inaugura- tion day to begin their four year term. Newly elected representatives and senators were administered the oath of office on January 6, beginning their respective terms of two years for representatives and six years for senators. Robert Orr and John Mutz began their new jobs as governor and lieutenant governor, as Gov. Otis Bowen’s two terms ran out. Orr was lieutenant governor under Bowen both terms, and said he would con- tinue with programs and plans developed during the Bowen years. As the clock struck noon on January 20, Ronald Wilson Reagan took his 35 word oath of office mak- ing him the 40th President of the United States and the oldest to take the oath. Vice President George Bush preceeded Reagan in the oath- taking. Reagan, the former Governor of California and former actor, spent an estimated $8 million on the In- auguration Day gala which marked the beginning of his four-year term. As crowds of people gathered in Washington, D.C., to witness the day’s events, people back in Muncie crowded around televisions to watch history being made. While Reagan delivered his 5,000 word Inaugural Address, the plane carrying the hostages took off from the Iranian airport ending their 444 days of capitivity and beginning the Reagan administration.

How about babysitting college students 24 hours a day? As you can probably tell, most of the jobs on campus were created to give the students a chance to make money to pay for college. To receive one of these jobs, you must go through the Financial Aid Office in the Administration Building. Students on the work-study pro- gram can only work a certain amount of time depending on how much money they make. The Ball State Dining Service employs between 450 and 500 student workers. Most people do not even have to go out of their building to work when working for the dining service. Each complex apie Campus Jobs WORKING IT QUT ringing in the Bucks hires dish washers and_ floor moppers toticket givers and ticket takers.

One of the harder jobs on cam- pus is the student staff. To be a good staff, you must devote all your free time to staffing, which proves to be impossible. Staffs must be prepared for an emergen- cy 24 hours a day and seven days a week. A staff must know all the rules and regulations of Ball State, and must enforce them equally with each resident of the floor. Connie Alexander, staff for 8th floor Brayton, said, “Staffing is a unique experience because it’s rewarding and challenging at the same time.” A few other types of jobs on campus are library jobs, secretarial work, film service, and desk staff. Some jobs are harder than others, and some require a certain skill, (disc jockey, reporter) while others need training, (telephone operator) though there are a lot of jobs that require little concentration (ushers for ball games). The best part about a job on campus is almost anyone willing to try is given a chance at a job.0 One of Car!

The nude models in the Art Department know exactly how it feels. Nude modeling has been at Ball State for about 10 years. Before the student models, the art classes us- ed professional models. These models were on the circuit, which meant students had a chance to draw them for only about a week at a time. Jan Wisz, one of the models, has been modeling for one year. She enjoys modeling because she likes the people in the Art Depart- ment, and she feels the building itself has a “more friendly at- mosphere.” The models may have to hold a pose for as long as an hour or more, and this becomes very strenuous work. There is usually an average of four models working at a time with a majority of them being female.

Wisz said, “Although we get paid $5 an hour, it’s still not enough for as hard as we work.” Although there is a legal binding contract for the models, Wisz, as well as other models, has been hurt by photographers distributing her picture to several men’s halls, Because of this, most models refuse to work with the photographers in the Art Depart- ment. The Art Department was not sure in the beginning whether to have nude models. Models were afraid people would look at them in a sexual way. Now, the models as well as the art students do not think of it as nudity. They call it art.0 Jan Wisz, art model and professional model, makes her living by posing for campus artists and photographers.

They have no police power other than giving parking tickets. In their training, the cadets must learn the university rules, use of police radios, and writing out reports, among other things. Cadets are hired at minimum wage on their ability and interest in the job. One of the top cadets, Steve Nauman, said the job helps him “learn how to get along with peo- ple.” Nauman has been a Campus Cadet for three years and now is a cadet leader, which means he is responsible for others on his shift and training new cadets. Each registered car owner is given a map of where they can and cannot park, but students still park where they are not allowed. “Students are at fault. They don’t read. They don’t pay any atten- tion. They just park,” said Nauman. At the end of the day the tickets are counted by parking lots so the cadets know which lot had the most violators. They try not to go to the same lot at the same time everyday. They consider Studebaker the worst lot on cam- pus because there are no parking spaces for students. Although most people do not like the Campus Cadets, without them campus parking would be disastrous. They are only trying to help by keeping parking open for those who paid. 0 beast bh —), 4 ?

It is a way of life. It is a mood. Ex- ploding out of the surrounding corn- fields and faded store fronts, the campus is a core of actions and emotion. It’s a mini-world of com- puter printouts, frisbee freaks, backpacks, and a duck pond without ducks. It is a campus of details left unnoticed. It is a campus of feelings. For every student, teacher and administrator, the sensations and impressions are different. They are as varied as the general electives, as colorful as the imported tulips and as unique as each of the 18,490 students. The multitudes of feelings are also changing, elusive, unseen-- but they are everywhere. On September 7, the feelings ex- ploded; Fall quarter began. After a short summer hibernation, the core suddenly came back alive. The students had returned. With their emergency survival kits of bottle openers, reggae albums, and Loni Anderson posters, they appeared at the campus doorstep. Gradually, they unloaded their make-shift mov- ing vans, discovered new room- mates, looked up old friends, and eventually squeezed in together for the temporary stay of 231 days. At Ball State the days go quickly, though. Even after the first week, time takes on a surreal meaning. The pace is hectic and minutes became sacred; free minutes are savored, one by one. There are 6,688 steps from Wilson to the West Quad, enough ti me to read a class assignment or think of an excuse for not reading a class assignment. There are also 84 stairs to climb to get to the fourth floor of Cooper, which is just enough for a pain in the side, and the Scramble Light is reported to be one of the busiest in- tersections in the state. About 150 students dodge their way across the faded white lines at the sound of the bell every hour. The pace is endless. The motion is continual. Days end late and they begin early. Mornings on campus are strangely calm. At 5 a.m. Ball State is a university of drowsy operators, bored night monitors, and home- ward bound architecture students. The central parking lots are empty, but the campus police patrol them still. Piercing the lingering darkness, a few study lounge lights are still bur- ning, but the 24-hour lounge in Bracken is finally deserted. The late- night students have given up and gone home, and the early risers haven’t even stretched yet. This is Ball State’s mellowest hour. The shouting matches in LaFollette have died out. The parties have all ran out of beer and broken up, and only the slimy things in the Duck Pond are stirring, causing ripples and bubbles in the black, silent water. The buildings are silhouetted against the Muncie skyline. Bracken Library looks strangely like a stack of books and University Hall seems to be a huge grand piano dropped in the middle of campus. In the glow of its saucer-shaped lights, the Whitinger College of Business looks like a brick and cement typewriter. waiting for huge hands. The unusual quiet surrounds the ivyless buildings. At 6 a.m. the student life stirs. The joggers head out into the thick shade of Calvert and Dill Streets. The din- ing service crews are getting up, tip- toeing around their gray, cold dorm rooms. The aproned women pull up in their Chevys, ready to begin the daily task of frying thousands of eggs, mostly over easy. The sun continued wane! | W hen it Rains. . . rises over the starkness of Studebaker Complex, and the 600 campus squirrels start their scurrying and scampering for sack lunch crumbs. Slowly, the whole campus wakes, grumbles, stretches and calls 284-6lll for the weather outlook. The 1900 LaFollette residents race to the showers and to the last of the hot water. On some days, however, there’s no morning mad dash. When it rains, the whole campus moves dripping, they have to head back out into the gray day. There are some, though, who say that they like the rain. They are the ones out walking in it, jogging in it, and just taking in the new clean crispness of the air. They may be the hearty and healthy ones, but only Benny never comes in out of the rain. She just endures . . .and enjoys the face washing.

The day becomes a strategic contest of avoiding puddles, um- brella points and flu germs. Thousands of multi-colored um- brellas move down the drenched walks, making their way to shelter. But even the buildings are damp. The hallways smell like mold and wet wool. On those days classes are less crowded. On those cold, damp days, the Tally Ho is especially crowded.

The puddles turn to mud . . . and at the end of the day, the dorm hallways are lined with hundreds of opened umbrellas, dripping and drying. The next morning, the rain will be forgotten. Moods change quickly at Ball State.

Activities and interests vary great- ly at Ball State. There are 264 cam- pus organizations, most of them sponsoring at least one disco, having two bakesales, and meeting twice a year. The clubs range from The Alpha Angels to the Tubist Universal Brotherhood Association. The ficial organization. The campus is also more than its _ clubs. It is the people in the clubs, in the halls, in the fraternities and the | sororities. Some of them are or- Students International Meditation Society also met throughout the year, and even The Club that Time © Forgot managed to remember its meetings. There’s an organization for everyone, but when there isn’t, one can be created. One group of students invented their own social — had 30 participants, mostly Daily fraternity, and they called it Tau Nu Beta. What few realized, though, is that TNB originally stood for “Tues- day Night Buzz,” the group’s favorite drinking night. The university, ob- viously, doesn’t recognize it as an of- weaee «| dinary, some are unusual, and some just have unusual habits.

They eat the leftovers for breakfast, and one practical chemistry major in Elliott distills his own “corn whiskey.” For most other students whatever brand Bob’s Bottle Shop carries is good enough.

SRDS REE Joseph and Robert Kennedy are also included, but not in the ad- ministration section. During the con- fining winter days, the names became more than just B-book en- tries.

Looking back, Ball State is still a campus of details, trivials, and Bizarre 186 wipe almost forgotten places. It’s a monster of minute pieces, moving as one. Ball State is a city within a city. It is a campus of 106 buildings and 386 bathrooms, many of them with little signs asking if “you got more than you gave.” It is a quadrangle in the shape of a triangle, a cowpath without cows and a Student Center Music Lounge that has no piano, no instrument, and no sheet of music.

The fren- zied party-goers wore leather jackets, t-shirts, and wrap-around sunglasses, while the earrings and dark make-up accented the ears, lips, and eyes of both males and females alike. The girl in the silver- glittered spike heels was little com- fort as she smiled at the stranger through her deep blue lipstick and stared at him through her purple feathered sunglasses. The young man had stumbled into something that was not a regular party-- something called “new wave.” New wave is not only the latest fad in rock music, but it is one of the latest styles of dress, art, and at- titudes. Rock music has gone through dozens of adaptions in the past, including movements like the British invasion of the 1960’s, the acid rock trend, glitter rock of the early 1970’s, and more recently, punk rock. New wave draws heavily from the English punk rock. Punk rock was | spawned by the pent-up aggressions _ of English youth looking for a way to — fight back against society. The poor — economy and 80 percent unemploy- — ment rate among 18-year-olds turn- — ed the movement bitterly anti- establishment--very similar to the 1960’s movement in the United States. Songs like “God Save the Queen” and “Anarch in the U.K.” by the Sex Pistols were considered 4 so threatening that they were bann- ed from airplay in England.

While punk rock was based on_anti- establishment hate, new wave con- centrates on being innovative and } enjoyable. The anti-queen lyrics | from England have been replaced with lyrics concerning life on im- | aginary planets, describing what it is | like to win a pink poodle, and how it feels to be turning “Japanese.” “It is something new--something just for fun. It is for people who are looking for something to throw themselves into,” said Rick Greathouse, a self-proclaimed new | waver. | While the attitudes and lyrics are more innovative and less rebellious than punk, the style of art and dress ‘is just as off-beat and wild. Pointy- toed shoes with flat bottoms or spik- ed heels are frequently worn with the most outlandish get-ups im- jaginable. Costumes that resemble the suits worn on the show “Lost in | Space” are another popular item. T- shirts can be white, feature a logo of ‘a favorite band, or for true new | wave elegance, have several holes in it fastened together by safety pins. |The art on the album covers of new ‘wave LP’s follows the trend of the music and the dress--the more ec- icentric and barbaric, the better. Hair styles and names change iwith music movements. Men's hairstyles have reverted to shorter ‘lengths, but some of the new wavers ‘leave the front closely cropped while ithe back is left long and flowing. The inew wave style for women dictates ‘that the hair should be teased, plastered, or tied into the most bizarre finish achievable. Even the names of new wavers have creative originality. Stars’ names like Sioux- sie Sioux, Poly Styrene and the group name The Plasmatics all add 'to the mood of new wave-- innovative. | “No, it will never really die-- something else will come out of it,” said Greathouse. “Music styles never die, they are just adapted into Inew styles. New wave will be ab- isorbed by another style and live on within that style.”0 NEE yTA| New Wave mapiaN Imitation leopard and wrap-around Mark Nelson sinks his teeth into a juicy piece of pizza. --photo by Tony DeCristofaro The temptation of a hot, thick and chewy pizza was more than the strongest could resist. --photo by Tony DeCristofaro eg eae Ps Working at Sicilianos, Dave Connor serves up a pizza for their “All you can eat” night.--photo by Tony DeCristofaro When a pizza is delivered from Domino’s, it seems that everyone comes around, even pet cats.--photo by Tony DeCristofaro Mi agaqae by Beth Dotson It’s Monday night and the dining service served raw roast beef and dry mashed potatoes for the fourth time in two weeks. You are starved. The only thing in your refrigerator is some butter, a rotten orange and a coke. From down the hall drifts the aroma of a pizza. It would be so easy to simply pick up the phone and get one for yourself. Dominos and Greeks answer these craving calls from college students every day. “It’s easy to order a pizza because you don’t need cash. You can always write a check,” commented Mary Jones, freshman. The pizzas are also delivered right to your residence hall, making the pick up situation very convenient. | If 4 stu like Brady or Williams, getting the pizza delivered directly to their hall could be a problem. Delivery boys have been known to confuse residence halls with customers’ names. Patrice LaFollette, Lawrenceburg freshman, once ordered a pizza which was delivered to the 24-hour desk at LaFollette Complex. The problem with this was that LaFollette lived in Schmidt Hall. “I'll never use my own name again when I order a pizza!” excalimed LaFollette. Problems like these are avoided after a few months at college when most students become experts at piz- za ordering and eating. Students learn which places have the best sauce and the thickest crust. Vickie Chambless, sophomore, said, “Greeks has the best sausage pizza and Dominos has the best pepperoni pizza.” Another aspect of the fine art of pizza eating is what to do with the grease. It has stained many bedspreads and carpets in its time. The pizza expert remembers these problems before putting the pizza on anything valuable. Ordering a pizza can even be hazardous to the health. Some peo- ple are so anxious to receive that call saying, “Your pizza will be delivered at the desk in five minutes,” that they are prone to physical violence if anyone dares to touch the telephone. The poor pizza man gets it even worse. He can be almost trampled by over-anxious customers who throw their money in his face then jerk the pizza from his hands. Pizza could be named the BSU D.C.

Enthusiasm knows no size limits; however, and. those fans who at- tended were treated to an electric performance. The evening began with the solo appearance of John Hall, former member of Orleans and his unusual band--a Pignose micro-amplifier, and acoustic and electric guitars. Hall entertained with his versions of “Still the One,” “Dance with Me,” and “Under the Boardwalk,” songs that were big hits for Hall and Orleans. He also demonstrated his mighty guitar abilities with a solo guitar version of Jimi Hendrix’s “Are | You Experienced.” John Hall the musician merged ' with John Hall the anti-nuclear | power activist with his closing _ number, “Power,” the anti-nuclear movement anthem during the 1979 | Musicians United for Safe Energy | (MUSE) concerts at Madison Square | Garden. Natural energy flowed steadily as Poco began its contribution to the night’s good vibrations. Lead vocalist and guitarist Paul Cotton led instrumentalist Rusty Young, bass player Charlie Harrison, drummer Steve Chapman, and keyboard _ player Kim Bullard through a varied | selection of Poco songs. And as the licks grew hotter, so did the excited fans, whose exuberant shouts became so distracting, the concert was stopped by Rusty Young, who asked the audience to yell for a few minutes. The band played on, including its biggest hits, “Crazy Love,” “In the Heart of the Night,” and “Under the Gun.” But it was the banjo pickin’ bluegrass ‘‘Rocky Mountain Breakdown” and the ballad “Rose of Cimmeron” which proved to be most popular with the shouting, whistling, hand-clapping audience, whose enthusiasm more than filled the empty seats of Emens.U Bass Player Charlie Harrison joined in on the background vocals and the chorus parts of some of the popular tunes. --photo by Kim Ferrill The audience really got into the music.

The tune | “Wind Machine” began the act at a dynamic pace, and the momentum | never slacked off. As soon as the tination: Planet Jazz notes of one piece started to fade, Rich snapped out the number of the next tune. Then the musicians scrambled. They frantically searched through their sheets for the right number, trying to keep up with the famous drummer--who is infamous for his quick temper. They never let him down, though, and it soon became obvious that this pressure awas just another part of the routine. Their conviction, though, was more than routine. From tune to tune, the intensity continued. From “pretty jazz” to “dirty jazz” the styles varied, but through it all, the drumsticks raced. They seemed to be just a steady blur of movement. Rich wasn’t just playing the drums; he was concentrating, commanding a performance of perfection. Leading the band with only facial cues, he went from “Love for Sale” to a tune so intensely moody and sensuous that it almost became cryp- tic and haunting. The spell was final- ly broken only by the progressive up-beat of the next number. Then a different kind of spell was cast over the audience. Slowly everyone became mesmerized, stunned with disbelief as Rich began his momentous drum solo. For the next ten minutes his drum sticks per- formed acrobats across the set of snares and cymbals. They glanced, skimmed, and danced, turning beats into complex schemes of rhythms. The drums seemed to come alive, and Rich seemed to have, at least, three hands. And when it was all eventually over and a pause again settled over the stage, the audience came to its feet and responded with its own rhythms of applause. The audience: was shocked, but inspired--and that was only the first half. After a short intermission, the band returned, but this time instead of Rich, another master musician took the spotlight. Mel Torme, nicknamed “The Velvet Fog” because of his smooth, mellow voice, kept up the magical mood. The jazz continued. The intensity grew. From “You Are The Sunshine Of My Life” to “Here’s That Rainy Day,” he added something unique to each number. His voice was a tool, working, creating, blending with the band and adding a vivid new dimension to the music. He felt every word that he sang. He sensed the damp loneliness of “Here’s That Rainy Day.” He understood the deep solitude of “Around Midnight.” ‘had. And that was a lot. The great And he breathed meaning into each word he sang in Born To Be Blue.” But he didn’t stop with words. He also sang sounds.

He “trad- ed fours” with a tenor saxophone for over ten minutes. His pitches went from very hi gh to very low without even a pause. His control was unbelievable. His range spanned at least four octaves. The numbers he sang also had a great range of variety. He added his brand to both old tunes and new ones.

It was a tale nt that the audience seemed to crave. No one wanted the velvet fog to just slip away. Their ovations kept calling him back. Three times he returned--until “Send in the Clowns” was the last tune he sang. Then like in the last song, the entertainment was gone. The lights went back on, and the awed crowd returned to the early fall frost of the Muncie streets. For most, the crisp chill quickly broke the spell. But for the musi- cians, the tempo continued. Their bus was parked, waiting at the Emens dock. A small sign in the front bus window made their last statement foretelling the end of their tour. The sign read, “Destination: Planet Jazz.”0 During his drum solo, Buddy Rich mesmerized the audience with his lightening speed on the drums. Although Rich is infamous for his quick temper, he only. became disturbed with the lighting crew twice. --photo by Robert Bridges Rich Torme Pa by Beth Dotson 66 ° Mime is just a matter of breaking down the body and taking every single movement in life and exaggerating that movement so that if you are in a huge auditorium the person in the last row could see you and could understand what you were trying to communicate to him,” said Cathy Brandt, director of “Mime Over Matter.” Mime is a language that people of all ages and nationalities can relate to. It is an expression of human emotions and life situations. “Mime Over Matter” is a student troupe that has been spreading this art throughout the area for the past four years. “We started in 1977,” said Brandt, a Logansport senior. Brandt has been in the troupe since Reed K. Steele started it after studying mime in Los Angeles during the summer of 77. “He came back to school that year and he wanted to do a mime show. He taught us enough to get us through a show, then asked us if we wanted to form a troupe and per- form around campus.” It wasn’t all that simple and easy to do, though, because mime is not an easy art. “It takes a long time to learn,” said Brandt. “You have to be able to control your body and you have to know how to move and communicate with your body. It’s a strain just like ballet or dance and it requires a lot of body control.” The troupe begins each practice with wa rm up exercises. In mime, the body is divided into seven sec- tions and the artist must be able to maintain control over each section. After practicing body control, the first thing a mime must learn is the technique of illusions, such as a rope pull. He practices this step by step until he can do it naturally. When the illusion is mastered, the mime is ready to develop a character. When developing a character, the mime must learn how to portray dif- ferent personalities through facial expressions. He learns to use his body to change people and moods. Dancing and acting experience are very useful to the mime. This can reciprocate in that mime ex- perience can also be useful to the ac- tor. Most of the students in the troupe are theater majors or minors. There are five girls and three guys in the troupe. They try to maintain a group of about ten members each year. All of the members don’t always participate in each per- formance. The group operates on the basis of seniority so if there isn’t enough transportation, the oldest members have the first opportunity to go. “Mime Over Matter” has perform- inted Smiles and Silent Partners schools and they have performed for many campus events including numerous coffeehouses. Mime is very versatile in that it ap- peals to a broad spectrum of people. The same show can be used to entertain almost any age or interest group. The troupe does get paid for their shows, but usually not too much. A performance for an Indianapolis club at Christmas time stood out in Brandt’s mind. She said the club paid the troupe $125, which is more than they usually get, plus the group liked them so much that they passed around the bucket after the show and donated an extra $40.

' Another thing the troupe igang accumulate over the years besides shows is costumes. Each |) member is responsible for his own ‘costume and he usually adds a new ‘one each year. 4 _ Troupe members also use white ‘race makeup in their shows. Makeup isn’t a definite necessity in mime, but the students prefer the } tradition. Another extra in the mime shows is music. Scott Solterman has been doing the music on the piano. He uses his talents to help create any mood the troupe feels is needed in their particular pieces. Other members of the troupe in- clude: Marcia Swanger, Doug Jones, Laurie Rowe, Bart Simpson, Brian Goodall, Elke Schwarz, and RobinBingham. The mime is like every other entertainer.

The most valuable thing to the average college student is the free time. It is the valuable commodity that’s sought after and once gained, used only in constructive ways. Ball State students can devise im- aginative, out of the ordinary ways to spend their free time. Jim Kempf, Ft. Wayne junior likes to spend some of his off hours writing papers for other students. “I do it for the payment, which is not always monetary,” says Kempf. By far the most popular way peo- ple in the dorms spend their free time is watching television. At any hour during the afternoon you can find one or more televisions tuned to the latest disaster or divorce hap- pening on any of the soap operas. Some have even been known to schedule their days around these dramas. Soap operas aren’t the only shows people watch. T.V. in general seems to be a favorite way of passing time. Patty Oden, Zionsville senior says, “I spend nearly all of my free time playing euchre and just talking with my friends,” This along with playing backgammon and other card games are popular with a lot of people on campus. When the sun shines and the weather turns warmer you can see the sports enthusiasts bringing out the volleyball nets, the softball bats, the basketballs and the frisbees. They spike, run, bounce and fling their way through hours of unscheduled time often even into the dark. Carol Gott ron, Fremont, Ohio senior enjoys spending her free time sleeping. “There’s one thing that | never get enough time to do and | that’s snooze.” said Gottron. Relax- ing is a popular free time entertain- ment. Some people say shopping at the Muncie Mall relaxes them, others prefer to read unassigned books to unwind after a tough day in classes. And the crowded conditions at the local bars prove that there are those who choose to take it easy ina more social atmosphere. Some people fill their free time doing those necessary jobs that seem to pile up around them. Everyone has to find time to do their laundry and clean their room at least once a quarter. And if you are look- ing for a job for the summer or after graduation there is the endles job of writing letters to prospective employers and mailing out resumes. This job can effectively take care of hours and hours of free time. Around Ball State there seems to be a common problem. Finding enough free time to do all the things you want to do. Classes take up more and more of your time and the outside work assigned in each can significantly cut into everyone’s spare time. Stephen Franklin, Washington D.C. senior summed up this idea when he said, “Free time, what's free time?!”0 Tt? Free time at university facilities isn’t always used by students as evidenced by this father and son walking away from the softball field near Ball Gymnasium. --photo by William Vance Feet imprisoned daily by the confines of the classroom break out to the fast disco tempo in the freedom of the evening. --photo by William Vance a 3 ee The Life of the Party by ee ee Black There is one thing students on every campus have in common, and that is a relish for parties. Ball State students are no exception. Given the opportunity, a Ball State student will call up his friends to share a couple of beers or contribute to a hairy buffalo punch. Although most people don’t need a reason to have a party, there are those im- aginative few that like to have or need a stimulus to spur a celebra- tion. Some of the more common theme parties thrown by students in- cluded “Who Shot J.R.?” parties. The guests showed up in all types of Western attire and watched the prime time soap opera, Dallas, to find out who had shot J.R. Ewing, one of the most famous and popular villains of all time. It was indeed a cause for celebration since J. R. fans had waited patiently through the summer to discover the culprit. The Cardinal basketball team’s trip to Tuscalusa, Alabama to play in the NCAA tournament also generated the party spirit at Ball State. Despite the dismal outcome of the game, most students didn’t let that deter them from having a good time. There were those people who had a twist to the parties they held. Dave Ricks, a graduate student in adver- tising, required all who attended his party to be dressed in a “tacky” manner. Curlers in girl’s hair, people dressed in striped shirts and checked pants or bathrobes were a few of the costumes found at this “tacky par- ty.” One gala affair that every senior who ever sent out a resume should have attended was the rejection let- ter burning party. After receiving too many polite rejections to his letters of query and resumes, Bob Tonkel, a graduate assistant in physics and geology, came up with the brainstorm of burning all those negative responses. To watch the bonfire, Tonkel invited a few close friends over to help him celebrate. “Not only did I get a job, which alone is reason enough to throw a party, but the fact that I no longer had to be subjected to rejection made me very happy!” Tonkel said. A somewhat novel way to salute the Homecoming football game is to serve a menu of screwdriver drinks and donuts--at nine in the morning! John Wielgos and Charlie Woehnker wanted to get a head start on the festivities so they called up some friends for pre-game refreshments. Surprisingly, a good number of people attended the early morning get-together, proving that al though 9:00 may be too early for a class, it is never too early to party! Indianapolis coeds Marianne Forestal, Barb Murphy, Theresa Canton and Kathy Hehmann plann- ed an April Fool’s Day party that ended up being a big joke on all who attended. After spreading the word on the impending bash, including a band and several kegs of beer, the girls leit for home and hung a sign on the door on which was boldy written: APRIL FOOL’S. The Greek fraternities and sororities had their share of fun too. Sigma Kappa girls and Delta Tau Delta guys joined up for a Liquid Gold party. Instead of putting a ball at every hole, a big glass of beer had to be downed by those on each “golf team,” a team consisting of four girls and one male caddy. After nine holes of such challenging activity, members of each team could burn up any excess energy on the dance floor. How about attending a marriage and divorce party? Well that was the central theme of the party that the Alpha Phi sorority threw for the Teta Xi guys as a mixer party. To get a drink from the bar each guy had to get a girl to marry him in front of a phony preacher. After a round of drinks was bought, the couple would get divorced and the whole process was repeated with different partners. “It was a great way to meet everyone and the guys really en- joyed having the drinks bought FOR them instead of the other way around,” Joani Ogle, Alphi Phi senior said. New Wave music was the central idea of a Sigma Phi Epsilon celebra- tion. Not only did the men of the house concoct a black hairy buffalo punch, they also filled a sink with green jello that was made with vodka and had a plastic pig in the center of it. New Wave fans showed up with bizarre hairdos, torn shirts, shimmery skin-tight pants and saftey pins attached to their ear lobes. These parties and all others held during the year helped enhance the reputation that Ball State has en- joyed through the years--that of be- ing a party school and having students who enjoy fun to the fullest. 4 Not only does Ball State party all day and all week, but always with plenty of imagination and style. As long as there is floor space, dan- cing is always a favorite party past time. Amy Kotek and _ Jeff Clevenger dance at the Sigma Tau party. --photo by F.A.

Phillips, Jr. Partying to Death-- Again by Sue Miller P artying. At any campus this is a necessary part of college life. Hand in hand with lectures, exams, papers, and field trips goes the fun and revelry needed for students to recuperate from these strenuous collegiate pursuits. For some, partying is an occa- | sional past time, a chance to get together with friends and take a pleasant break from the routine. For others, however, partying is the routine. For these seasoned partiers anything and everything can be taken as a reason to seek out the }, healing powers of flat beer, crowded rooms, and loud music. Partying can relieve stress and | tension faster than the leading asprin }ever could. The asprin manufac- turers, though, get their revenge when the morning after arrives and handfuls of their product are needed | to abate the after effects of the cure. Such trying situations as a com- | prehensive test in a class regularly skipped twice a week, finally making | it out of bed in time for an eight ) o'clock class and the professor doesn’t show, a fight with a room- | mate, receiving a partial schedule or | just being served french fried fish in | the dining service just once too often | are enough to make even the most even-tempered yearn to get away | from it all. Instead of just wishing it | would all go away, however, the ' seasoned partier sallies forth, with a idry throat and an uncomfortably | clear head to obliterate reality for | awhile. | Any kind of mental duress com- ) monly promotes delusions of sobrie- | ty in some and increases the need to | restore the mind to its comfortable ifuzzy state. During mid-term and ‘finals weeks, students have been known to run out of their exams to frantically begin administering emergency partying for an overload- red brain. It’s a case of drinking to ‘forget. In some cases, the remedy | works so well that a partier will forget manners, possessions, his name, iwhere he lives, and how to get there, as well as his problems. Not everyone parties strictly for medicinal purposes. A_ truly dedicated partier doesn’t even need to think about partying, he just does. Like an automatic pilot in a plane, the pro will instinctively head for the nearest, and best place that will send him flying.

Phillips, Jr. by Sue Miller | LNO one can accurately accuse the | Ball State Theater Department of sit- | ting idle. With four different theaters | presenting 30 shows throughout the ‘year, both students and faculty |found plenty to occupy themselves with. | “The season is going pretty well,” ‘said Dr. George Irving, chairman of ‘the Theater Area in the Department of Speech and Theater. “We do on- ly 30 shows a year, but it keeps us busy.” This theatrical activity begins dur- ‘ing the summer with the Summer | Festival Theater. Summer Theater, ‘involving both the college and the ‘community, operates during the two | summer sessions, with the auditions for the acting roles and technical i positions held the first week of the first summer session. The casts for Summer Festival tend to be balanc- ed evenly between area residents and students from other universities and Ball State students and faculty. During the regular school year the activity increases with the selection of plays and musicals offered by the other three theaters, Studio, Mainstage, and the Children’s Theaters. Studio Theater is an experimental theater, where shows are chosen, built, directed and acted in entirely by students. Produced in the small, flexible theater in room T-100, the presentations give the student direc- tors, the actors and the technical crews a lot of valuable experience. “You always learn so much,” said T.J. McCombs, Fort Wayne senior, who has been director for two shows in Studio Theater. After directing “Gingerbread Lady” for the 1980-81 season and For the play “The Shadow Box” Charles Dawson was one of the actors that had to budget his time around rehearsals. --photo by F. A. Phillips, dr. Phillips, Jr. Big Productions in Little Theater “Its Your Dime” the year before, McCombs has had plenty of ex- periences as well as experience. “The director has to pull from the actors and technical people to get what she wants,” McCombs said. “Sometimes it’s frustrating because you're in the middle. The actors and technicians do their parts and the director must take it and put it all together.” Studio Theater usually puts on four shows per quarter with the stu- dent directors selecting their own shows. Directors for studio are chosen on a volunteer basis, usually juniors or seniors, but any student withan interest may be chosen. After selecting the show, the student director must manage everything needed to produce it, from publicity to casting and selecting props and lighting crews. “When you're working on a show, Henry II, King of England, played by Jim Hardin, threatens John, the youngest son and eventual sovereign, played by Gregg Howard, dur- ing a performance of “The Lion in Winter.” The play concerns the king’s choice of a successor to the English throne. --photo by F. A. it’s no sleep, no grades,” said Mc- Combs. The time and work invested by the students in their shows paid off this year with excellent attendance and good audience reaction. Nearly every show was sold out at least three nights and the musical “You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown” was sold out for all performances, said Paul Reihart, Studio Theater manager. An annual sell-out for the Studio Theater is “The Mime Show.” The first studio production of the year, “The Mime Show” delighted the au- diences with its completely pan- tomimed performance. “The important thing about Studio Theater is that it is ex- perimental theater,” said Reihart. “It’s all student-run. The faculty is only a liaison. It is for the students continued ee eee (4 feces Productions maga “Skillful liful makeup techniques add fo ‘the appearance of Lisa Pettet and dim Hardin in the Little Theater _ production of “The.

While students may dick any kind of play which interests them, the shows for Mainstage are selected carefully to provide a sam- ble of most of the great theater geriods in the six plays presented a year. “This is supposed to be ‘great theater’,” said Irving. The plays, produced two a quarter, are directed oy faculty but are acted in by both students and faculty. This year’s theater bill offered a variety of modern American produc- tions such as the “Mad Woman of Chaillot,” “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof,” and “Lion in Winter.” Mainstage also offered Shakespeare’s “Measure for Measure,” and the musical “Wonderful Town” which was produced in cooperation with the Ball State Music Department. Along with the great theater and experimental theater, Ball State also produces the Children’s Theater. These productions, which take place on Mainstage and in Carmichael room 115, are presented at least once a quarter entirely for the enter- tainment of children. Children’s theater is held every other year on Mainstage, and as often as possible in Studio and Car- michael, not only to reach children’s audiences, but to help teach those who. would be using children’s theater. “Since many students in the Theater Department are also future teachers, we felt that introducing them to children’s theater was another way for them to be able to Big Productions reach children with literature, enter- tainment, as well as another way of teaching.” Irving said. The productions for children’s theater this year included the classic “Beauty and the Beast” on Mainstage, and the successful Studio Theater production of “You're a Good Man Charlie Brown” which toured four area schools. Quite a few original shows have also been produced for the entertainment of youthful au- diences, such as a work entitled “The Three Veggateers.” Some students also try their talents at Story Telling, selecting a story from works like Grimm’s Fairy Tales and dramatizing it for children. According to Irving, Children’s theater also did a number of produc- tions where the dialogue was signed in deaf language to an audience of deaf children. “A deaf audience isn’t much dif- ferent than a hearing one,” said Irv- ing. “They pick up on the jokes and visual effects as well as anyone.” The Ball State Theater Depart- ment not only teaches students the craft of theater but also gives them a chance to write for it. In the One Act Playwriting contest, students have | the opportunity to have these prize- winning plays produced. These plays are presented as the last theater offering of the spring. “This gives the playwrites a chance to see what works on stage and what doesn’t,” said Irving. Irving summed up this incredible amount of activity taking place in Ball State’s Theater Department. “Like I said,” he commented, “We keep busy.”U The medieval setting of “The Lion in Winter” proved a challenge, both to the props crew and to actors Jay Booth and Ji m Hardin. --photo byF.

The costumes are fitted, the grease paint is spread and the set is ready. The house lights dim, the footlights come up and the curtain rises. The play begins and the au- dience is taken into another world. Although the torn ticket stubs say this Ball State Theater production started at 7:30 p.m. this evening, this show actually started long before tonight. The days, weeks and mon- ths of planning and preparation are a part of each show that the au- dience never sees. The technical crews of the Ball State Theater never appear in the limelight. They work their craft out of the view of the best seats in the house--backstage. “For every actor the audience sees on the stage there are four times that many people working backstage on technical crews,” said David “Kip” Shawger, technical director of the Ball State Theater. “Being on technical crews is basically a job just like an architect’s, only our creations are only built to last about a month. We’re glorified carpenters and painters,” said Shawger. “We enhance the actors and build around them. If someone admires our work too much, we know we upstaged the actors. We don’t want to detract from them. Instead, we work with them. “We design, work and build a framework. We create an illusion for the audience,” said Shawger. A tour of the steep stairways, tall ladders and dimly lit corridors which make up the backstage area helps explain how this illusion is created. The buzz of activity created by the working tech crews makes one wary of accidentally being pasted to a flat or mistakenly carried away with un- wanted props. One area is used to paint flats or backdrops. Sponges, brushes, sprayers and rollers are used to app- ly the paints, glues and textures. These materials turn flat canvas into a grassy, green horizon or a gray Backstage are stone wall. Two painters carry away a small section of a flat while another rummages through the tool cage. A locked door leads to the small prop room, which is filled with shields suits or armor, a fire hydrant, drapes, spears and a miniature piano. A trash can full of umbrellas is surrounded by stuffed heads, arms and legs. A plaster statue of Venus Demillo stares out of the caged-in room. In another room, two girls are putting finishing touches on a costume for that night’s production. One full wall is lined with shoes of every style, color and size. A nearby storage room is jammed with sailors uniforms, evening gowns, mini skirts and sports suits. Another prop storage area is stacked full with barrels, trees, fur- niture, steps, fireplaces, a dog- house, two pianos, bath tubs and, of course, a kitchen sink. A prop per- son could find anything from empty cereal boxes and old books to stain- ed glass windows and old-fashioned What A udiences Never See street lamps. The mirrored make-up room sits calm now, but swarms with activity on show nights. The base, grease paint, spirit gum, hair coloring, cold cream, liquid latex and derma lay waiting in storage drawers. Every niche and corner seems to have a special purpose, whether it be the spotlight booths in the rear of the theater or large weights and counter-weights hanging at the side of the main stage. The light board, overhead lights, sound systems and communications intercom are all checked, adjusted and rechecked. One has to wonder how so many different crafts and talents are pulled together for one show. “It’s not easy. Nobody can blow it or we all look bad,” said Pat Harkness, one of the technical assistants. “We all know each other and we all get along with each other. We have to work as a team,” she said. Actors receive applause and sometimes even standing ovations, but technical crews never take any curtain calls. “We don’t get the applause, but that’s part of it. It’s something you know before you ever work on a technical crew. We're in the pro- gram and that’s enough. “We really shouldn’t be noticed. The effects and sets should blend in so naturally with the play they seem to be real,” said Harkness. “If the technical people do their job the best they can do it, then nobody should notice them.” The play ends and the audience is returned to the real world. The cur- tain falls, the footlights dim and the house lights come up. The set is torn down, the grease paint is removed and the costumes are carefully stored away. The hammering, sew- ing, sawing, painting and planning are finished--at least until tomorrow.U The costume department carries all styles, colors and sizes, but it’s keep- ing them organized that keeps Melanie Fearnow busy. --photo by Kim Ferrill Finding the perfect prop for the play sometimes requires hours of sear- ching through piles of possibilities. - -photo by Kim Ferrill Preparing a set requires lots of time, and lunch breaks are not allowed as Kip Shawger demonstrates. --photo oy Kim Ferrill From the lighting cage, the stage looks rather different than it does from the audience. --photo by Kim -errill $$ rin Although his expressions seldom varied, his songs were all unique and distinctive in style and melody. Gordon Lightfoot played folk songs, ballads and some country tunes. --photo by Pat Rogers by Julio Resik lt was not a typical concert. There were no fans dancing in the aisles, standing on their seats or wildly clapping their hands to the music. There were no empty bottles or cans littering the floor . . . and no oder of marijuana pervading the air. No frisbies or beachballs sailed over head, and there was no stampede for the best seats in the house. But that doesn’t mean the au- dience didn’t enjoy the show. Despite the un-rowdy atmosphere of Emens Auditorium, the Gordon Lightfoot fans still managed to ex- press their enthusiasm for the Gordon Lightfoot popular folk singer. Throughout a show of both new and old tunes, the crowded auditorium laughed with the musi- cian’s few jokes and shouted re- quests for their favorite songs to be played. Usually he complied and played whatever the audience asked for. He had no line-up of numbers and, as he said, he was “winging it” through the performance. But the music didn’t suffer. Such classic hits as “Sundown,” “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald,” and “If You Could Read My Mind” sounded much sweeter than when strained through the circuits of a Panasonic radio. While singing “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, Gordon Lightgoot seemed to feel the agony expressed in the ballad. --photo by Pat Rogers During the performance, Gordon Lightfoot revealed that he was 42 years old and that he had been making recordings for 16 years. --photo by Pat Rogers That Warm and Mellow F. eeling After “Sundown,” the fourth number, the crowd sparked, and even the stone-faced musicians cracked a smile at the turmult of ap- plause. From then on the show was warm and mellow. Lightfoot was comfortable with the audience and it was comfortable with him. After 16 years of making recordings, his talent hadn’t slipped one bit. Although he included some country and pop rock tunes, it was still the ballads, the folksongs and the soft, rambling melodies that made the biggest impression with the packed house. It was an audience of devoted fans. That was obvious. Early in the show a woman brought up an em- broidered jean vest and placed it near the frayed cuffs of the per- former. “For you,” she said as he paused between songs. “We love you Gordon,” shouted another en- thusiastic fan from the balcony, and throughout the show fans begged for their favorite songs to be played. And they weren’t disappointed by the bearded, vagabond-looking musician. He played what they came to hear, and in his usual style. He didn’t smile. He didn’t dance or wiggle his hips. He didn’t make faces or prance up and down the stage. It was no typical concert per- formance. He played the guitar. He sang... and sometimes he tapped a toe.U {3@ ——HHRe _-—— ———— - Th by Beth Dotson Quietly, you and your group walk onto the stage. The person’s hand you're holding is perspiring; he is as nervous as you are. The weeks and months of practice about to be climaxed by the performance you have been dreaming about since the thought of Spring Sing first entered your head. The lights go, making it hard to distinguish people in the huge au- dience. The music begins and you hear your voice blending in just like it did the day before practice. The sound is beautiful. You feel beautiful as you begin to move with the music. The music you are making is filling Emens Auditorium and im- pressing the audience you are enter- taining. For the third straight year, Botsford Swinford Halls captured first place for residence halls and first place overall in Spring Sing. The group, directed by John Naab and choreogrphed by Deneice Fields and Kim Klee, sang a “Mary Pop- pins” medley. The 33rd annual Spring Sing was sponsored by Sigma Alpha lota and Phi Mu Alpha on Sunday, April 12. Nine Greek organizations and four residence hall groups participated. All participants went through prelims two weeks earlier. One group was cut there and the rest went on to practice until the big per- formance. Kappa Alpha Theta Alpha Omicron Pi performed a “Fame” medley to win firts place in the Greek category. Michael Waters was direc- tor and accompianist for the group. Second place went to Delta Tau Delta Alpha Chi Omega which per- formed a Gershwin medly. Baker Hall won residence hall second place with a medley from the “Sound of Music.” Angie Slayback, a member of the Wilson Schmidt Hall group that placed third for recidence halls, said she thought Spring Sing was a good way to meet new people. She said, “T had a blast.” Performing in rain coats and hats, the Schmidt Wilson group placed third in the residence hall category. --photo by Sue Wilden e Sound of Spring Music Practicing for Spring Sing can be trying at times. Some practices are held late at night when students would rather be doing homework or other things. Although some groups had been preparing for their act for months, others put their show together in two weeks. Costumes had to be measured and ordered. Some singers even gave up a few weekend parties so their voices would be in good condition to sing. The results of all the practice was varied. Some won trophies while others meritted applause. For a number of performers, being in the limelight on stage was a memorable reward.

Wage by Dona Johnson M onths of preparation, prac- tice and patience produced a spec- tacular show of frolics, follies and friendliness as the University Singers once again displayed their talent with a tune during the Spec ‘81 ex- travaganza. It has become a tradition for the Singers, as they are commonly referred to by their fans, to prepare a show for the springtime. This show, staged in Emens Auditorium, cap- tures the gift for a song each of the 54 members possesses. Not only do the Spec shows demonstrate the Singers good taste in music, but it also gives the energetic bunch a chance to dance their way into each member of the audience’s heart. The Singers, dressed in rhinestones or rags, cover the stage with their tap shoes. From one end to the other, they tap to the beat of a variety of music. But tapping is not the only form of dance known to the Singers. A com- mon occurrance in every Spec, the Singers can Charleston “like there is no tomorrow.” ore than Spectacular As a group, the Singers shine. In- dividually each Singer has a special talent. Some are encouraged to radiate it on the audience. Solo songsters choose a tune each likes and make a small production of each act. An added bonus to this year’s Spec was a salute to television. Parading across the stage as the Beverly Hillbillies or Gomer Pyle, the Singers never lost the audience. A tribute to the fifties in dress, dance and song was also an extra the Singers added. In recent performances, the Singers have invited another attrac- tion to share the limelight with them during their spring spectacular. This year’s guest provided his own lighting. Laser Odyssey, a laser light show, demonstrated many shapes and forms laser light could take. Though interesting at first, the lights became boring and the Singers were welcomed back gratefully. The University Singers, with a guest artist or without, provide an evening if true entertainment en- joyed by students, parents and Mun- cie residents. For the most part, the Singers show was, indeed, spec- tacular._ Among the many songs performed by the University Singers was a medley of American folk tunes. Shari Flint, choreographer, and Barb Ruber add to the harmony.

The music began loud, and it got louder. It was more progressive and hard then it was easy and mellow. And fans seemed to be more dissap- pointed than pleased. The Late Show, a four-man band, opened for Ambrosia on Saturday, May 9. Wearing brightly colored ties and white shirts, em- broidered with different musical symbols representing the in- struments they played, they sound- ed like left-overs from the 1960’s and imitators of The Monkees and Hermit’s Hermits. Most of their selections were from their album “Portable Pop” and got a satisfactory response from the almost-crowded audience. One of the highlights was Rick Clayton on guitar, singing the old Bruce Spr- ingstein song, “I Only Wanna Be with You.” 1981 Emens On May 9, Auditorium got a taste of some real rock-n-roll when Ambrosia took the stage for an evening of pro- gressive tunes.

Phillips, Jr. Sheagge = a Another number popular with the audience was the one that closed The Late Show’s set. Saying that The Who inspired them, they con- cluded with a meledy of songs, in- cluding “My Generation” and “Come Tomorrow.” Then for about 30 minutes the audience fidgetted through the in- termission and waited for the group they had come to see. The soft hum of voices talking seemed strangely quiet following the pounding rhythms of the amplified guitars and drums. When Ambrosia finally took the stage, they rocked and vibrated the whole auditorium with a progressive rock cut “Nice, Nice, Very Nice,” from the group’s first album. Then the music finally toned down to the expected Ambrosia style of mellow. On keyboards, David Pack sang lead on “You're the Only Woman.” The audience let the six-man band know that was R ocking the Decibels the kind of music they wanted to hear. When the roar of applause quieted down, Ambrosia switched back to a set of hard rock. The au- dience seemed confused, and several people got up to leave. Others held their hands over their ears to block out the deafening-loud music. The only other highlight of the show was when Pack sang lead on “Biggest Part of Me.” With a lot of urging from Pack, a few members of the audience even acted enthused and clapped their hands with the music. When the concert was over, many left disappointed. A few were impressed with the group’s versatili- ty, but others were angry at the deluge of hard rock. But almost everyone left with a ringing in his ears and a temporary case of hard- hearing from the evening of very loud, very hard rock. By the end of the show, lead singer David Pack sparked some en- thusiasm out of the crowd when the group played “Biggest Part of Me.” --photo by F.A.

After the intermission the or- chestra played its best number of the night, “The Comedians Ballet Suite.” This piece combined music, folk melodies and a waltz for a lively highlight of the program. Severinsen re-joined the or- chestra in a white and gold-trimmed suit. Not only had his style of dress changed, but his style of music had changed as well. “Malaguena,” composed by Ernesto Lucuona, featured solos on piano, drums and bass and lead guitars that showed hints of jazz and rock. Severinsen played several solos, also. On one very high note Severinsen jokingly pulled away from the trumpet after apparently straining himself. “Now I know what it feels like to be kissed by a Roto-Rooter,” said Severinsen. During this number Seve rinsen joked with Hargreaves and members of the orchestra. The best audience response came during a medley of songs that in- cluded Billy Joel’s “Just the Way Doctor in the House You Are,” Elvis Presley’s “Hound Dog” and Bread’s “If.” A foot- stomping rendition of “Orange Blossom Special” featured a Severinsen version of dueling violins and tru mpet. Concertmaster-violinist Neil Wein- trob and Severinsen performed a jig during the hoedown. Severinsen thanked the MSO and Hargreaves for the opportunity to play with them. “He has his hair done by General Electric,” joked Severinsen about the flighty-haired Hargreaves. Hargreaves stepped out from the wing and responded with the tradi- tional Johnny Carson show bow and rolling hand gesture that brought applause from the au- dience. “MacArthur Park” was performed by the MSO and Severinsen as an encore. Severinsen entertained the crowd with his gestures and antics as he conducted for Hargreaves. A shower of balloons fell on the crowd as the concert ended, ap- propriately, with Severinsen calling, “Hi-o-o-o-” as the MSO and Hargreaves bowed.U While Robert Hargreaves directs the Muncie Symphony Orchestra, Doc Severinsen takes a rest. Hargreaves retired from the Ball State School of Music, but will stay on as conductor of MSO. --photo by F.A. Phillips, dr.

That Sunday was the day a new “African Violet” would be selected. The Ball Room was filled for the 12th annual Miss Black Ball State Pageant. President Robert Bell and Student Association President Michael Looper were just a few of the members of the large crowd. The eleven contestants were judged in five different areas: sports wear, formal wear, essay, im- promptu questioning and talent. The talent portion of the pageant featured several dramatic inter- pretations which ranged from Negro spirituals and folk to contemporary. One performance dealt with the emotions of strife-torn Atlanta. Theresa Moore was crowned Miss Black Ball State for 1981. Moore is an Indianapolis junior. First runner-up was Casandra Allen, Gary freshman. Second runner-up was Denise Johnson, South Bend freshman. Norma Irby, Indianapolis sophomore was third runner-up. Moore will receive a $500 scholar- ship and a $100 gift certificate for her title of Miss Black Ball State. She will also receive automatic bids for the Miss Black Indiana and Miss Expo pageants. Besides these awards, Moore will receive one other honor. She'll be known as Ball State’s “African Violet.”L During the sports wear judging, Theresa Mooore models for the judges.

The riders wore snuggly fit helmets, gloves and knee braces. Some fans wore halter tops, shorts and tank tops. Other fans battled the unexpected cold with heavy coats, sweaters and mittens. On the track, the riders warmed up. They discussed last minute strategies. They checked the tightness of the bike’s chain. They loosened up with a few practice laps. Off the track, the fans warmed up. They replaced bottles of suntan lo- tion back in purses. They snuggled inside blankets. They sipped on Peppermint Schnapps which was concealed inside jacket pockets. Finally, the race began. Riders jockeyed for position--trying to build up leads or drafting opponents. Fans jockeyed for position--trying to sit in the warm sun or, at least, sit by at- tractive members of the opposite sex. There was a mad dash for the pizza man as he made his way through the hungry horde. Number one pole sitter, Sigma Alpha Epsilon took an early lead, but Destiny, Bets, Delta Chi and Sigma Nu teams all closed in. Some fans cheered and tried to see what place their team was in. Other fans seemed more interested in who was A Race for Destin y with whom. and who should know about it. After battling it out with the Beta team for much of the race, indepen- dent Destiny pulled ahead and brought down the checkered flag. Destiny was the first independent team to win Bike-A-Thon in eight years. In the sorority and fraternity divi- sions the results were very much like last years. Beta Pi fraternity finished first and Chi Omeaa. for the fifth consecutive year, took first in the trike competition. First of residence halls was awarded to Hurst Hall. Another first for the year was that the Black Stu- dent Association sponsored a team for the first time. The Rough Riders, the BSA team, won the award for the best uniforms. While the list of firsts goes on and on, a possible ominous last was also present at the 3lst Bike-A-Thon. Crowd and liquor control were seen as severe problems by Muncie residents and the directors of the Delaware County Fairgrounds. Next year, Lambda Chi Alpha, this years sponsor, may be faced with no facility to hold the race in. The fans seemed to be untroubled by who won and who lost. There was no time to gloat or argue--other races were already starting. Fans raced for cars. Fans raced for McDonald’s and liquor stores. And fans raced to the nearest party.) After winning the race, Destiny racers receive congratulations from fans. --photo by Jerry Davis Bike-A-Thon — Thi AAAS os Counseling Appointments Please check ' 4 before and after EACH appointment Sacaaicoee Whether to seek professional help or not was a question that students had to deal with when things just seemed to.be erumbling in.

The many screams of campus students bounce out into the dark still night as if it were heard bouncing off the rocky terrain of the Grand Canyon. Living with roommates, budgeting time and money, doing homework, studying, going to classes, and passing finals were just some of the thousands of pressures that students had to deal with each year. “Finals week is my ultimate of pet peeves,” stated Kevin Belles, a Plainfield sophomore, “It is just that during finals week the pressure from the tests is ridiculous.” Lisa Main, a Seymour sophomore, complained about tests coming at the same time, com- pounded by personal problems.” Dr. Ed Dailey, the Associate Director of Counseling and Psychological Services in Lucina Hall, stated that their busiest times were during finals, due to the stress from pressures. Dr. Dailey stated that “students today are great copers because of the advanced society.” The com- plexity of society makes decision making--large or small--something to cope with. He explained that in careers alone, “it is estimated that 60 percent of careers were not in ex- istence 20 years ago. That means more decisions for students and more stress. “| have found that trying to decide on a major is difficult because | haven’t been able to find anything that interests me,” said Kim Accardi, a Zionsville freshman. “There are so many things to choose from, but none that I would like to do for the rest of my life,” she added. Intense academic competition, not making a team, roommate pro- blems, homesickness, loneliness, studying problems, and time budgeting are problems that may sound familiar. These are some of the problems Dr. Dailey sees students coming to Lucina for. He stated that these problems not only happen to freshmen but can appear anytime during one’s college educa- tion. Services are also used for faculty and staffs’ problems. Ray Freeman, a Rome City sophomore, finds “the biggest pro- blem this quarter is nothing to do the first three weeks, and then all of a sudden it is all piled on.” “Disciplin- ing myself to sit down and study and making sure I got to bed on time and got up for classes” is something Brian Devaney, Elkhart freshman, had to deal with. He also said that he found scheduling and talking to an advisor about classes to be a real problem. He said that anytime he talked to someone, it turned out to be someone different. Sue Mileff, a Fort Wayne junior, said, “It is difficult to deal with the profs piling on the reading material ©2889) 9 and with the winter quarter blues; mainly everybody you live with get- ting on each others nerves.” | It’s the kind of mood where the ‘average student dreads his 8:00 ‘morning class. He steps from the bed into a chilly room and looks out the window into a dark, cold day. The thought of trudging through the slush -and snow sends “goose pimples” up his spine, and he cr- inges at the thought while heading to the icy water of the showers. Living with someone from home or someone you don’t know are also problems to some students ac- cording to Dr. Dailey. Shar McCoy, a Zionsville freshman, finds “being able to cope with the change of high school rela- tionships to college relationships-- malewise and femalewise” a big dif- ‘ference. Another is “being able to take on the responsibility of in- dependence, making the right deci- sions and still managing to have a good time while doing it.” “Being able to take on the respon- sibility of living on my own and ad- justing to a new lifestyle,” challenges Lesa Alkire, an Indianapolis freshman, along with “getting along with people that have different living habits without getting on each others nerves.” According to Dr. Dailey relation- ships with parents also change. Jim Paulsen, a Winimac sophomore, feels his relationship with his parents has changed. “I’ve noticed a change for the better in my relationship with my parents,” he said. “They respect my opinion on family matters now. And they finally realize that my personal moral values are strong enough to let me survive on my own, ” he added. Nancy Jones, a Wabash sophomore, finds she copes with many things, such as “disciplining yourself to study while others are having fun, telling yourself not to eat When school began, Scott Jacob, New Jersey freshman, found himself living in an Edwards Hall study lounge and having to deal with four room- mates. Finding time for himself was a problem and by the middle of September Jacob was able to move out to a regular room. --photo by Robert Bridges Coping was an issue that students had to face every day. Just getting up in the morning sometimes involved a complicated decision. Was the class really worth getting out of a warm bed? Some couldn’t handle it. Some quit school. Some escaped with drugs and drinking. Some went home sometimes, saying no to people, budgeting money wisely and not on alcoholic beverages, not getting enough sleep and then trying to get out of bed for classes especially when it’s cold outside, and pro- crastinating homework.” Coping with partial schedules and advisors is also a problem Jones has to face. On top of all this, “coping with this damn chlorine water in Muncie” really fru strates her. The philosophy that people are constantly growing is how Dr. Dailey attributes the always increas- ing and complicated number of decisions and choices that people have to make every day. In Dr. Dailey’s opinion, “We're a generation of fantastic copers. We're fantastic adapters,” coping in today’s already complex society. every possible chance. --photo by Robert Bridges eS See eon of — If a student can’t manage to just get away from everyone and everything for awhile, then things can really start to pile in.

However, one of the university’s most impor- tant offices is also one of its best hid- den ones. Far away, on the west side of campus, behind West Quadrangle, next to the cinder track, and nearly engulfed by Chris- ty Woods, stands the Placement Of- fice. Though it occupies a rather out of the way spot on campus, to many job-hunting seniors, graduate students, and underclassmen the Placement Office offers a vital ser- vice--helping them in search for employment and teaching them the skills they need to aquire the job. With four or more years of college almost completed and that elusive degree nearly in hand, students are suddenly faced with the realization that their college days are numbered. It’s about time they put their educations to work and find a job. After leading the relatively in- sulated life of a college student this realization can come as quite a shock, and the idea of tackling the job market alone can be more than a little intimidating. However, with the help of the Placement Office, job- seeking students need not face this trial by themselves. “We have several charges, and the major one is to assist students in making the move from campus to a job,” said Glenn Rosenthal, Director of Placement, “but we would like to think we have other charges as well.” This process to move from college out into the cold, cruel world doesn’t just start with a student's senior year. The Placement Office provides an on-going service for some 5,000 students and alumni a year. The popularity of the services of the office can be seen in the numbers of people lining up outside it at 6:00 a.m. to sign up for inter- views. In order to acquaint students with Placement its services earlier and to relieve some of the apprehension which in- creases the nearer graduation draws, the Placement Office has begun to put out more of an effort to reach the underciassmen. Ac- cording to Rosenthal, the sooner the students come in, the less anxiety they'll experience and the longer period of time they’ll have to correct any mistakes. The office deals with 2,000 underclassmen just seeking career information. “We may have to ask them to drop a trail of bread crumbs to get them back to their residence halls,” said Rosenthal about the out-of-the- way location of the Center. “But they are coming,” he said. The Ball State office is a centraliz- ed placement office, designed to work with students across-the-board no matter what major. Some students consider the Placement Of- fice as just a place to interview for a job. The office, however, isn’t only a facility for arranging interviews. The concept behind the Placement Of- fice is more that of a classroom where novice job hunters are able to learn the skills that they need to find a job. Skills like interviewing, resume writing, business letter ap- plications, and the reasoning of the employer are taught to help students in their face to face con- frontations with potential employers. “| thought my interview was really exciting because it was that first big step you take to really being on your own,” said Ann Rigsby, an Ander- | son senior. “You're in there selling yourself and with the response you get from a good interview it just makes it that much more exciting.” Also among the benefits of the Placement Office is its work in help- ing students identify the kind of jobs available that they might not have even known existed. “You would be amazed at the number of students who have no idea what to do or what they can do with their academic background,” said Rosenthal. Although many students file resumes with the Placement Office | el and make use of its services, there are still those who, for one reason or another, don’t take advantage of the office’s benefits. Whether their pro- spects are limited to only a small area, or they are already inundated with job offers, or just don’t quite have the energy to hike all the wav to the office they get their placement papers, some students fail to register with the Placement Office. For all of placement’s assistance in offering placement information, career counseling, and teaching in- terview skills, what this help finally A Place in the Employment Line ———EE eS: Ae leads up to is that one-on-one confrontation--the interviewer and the interviewee. It’s his own resources that the student must draw on and no one elses. “I feel really strongly that my job is to teach students how to get a job. | can’t go into an interview with you, so therefore we at placement have to do everything we can possibly do to lead you up to that room. Once you're in that room you're on your own,” said Rosenthal, “placement can’t get you a job. All we can do is help the heck out of you.”0 As the year goes on the Placement Office gets to be a busy place. Students come in, seeking career advice, looking for job openings and wanting to talk to counselors. --photo F.A.

Phillips, Jr. Varying Degrees of Emotion Re by Pamela Records ood things are worth waiting for, according to the old saying. On May 23, more than 1600 students found out if that phrase was true. After at lease four years of working, anticipating and waiting, they receiv- ed their diplomas. On that sunny afternoon, the consensus seemed to be that it was definitely worth the wait. But emotions were varied. In the beginning of the three-hour ceremony, most faces were solemn, slightly nervous and anxious to have the ceremonies get underway. Others had begun celebrating early. While the graduate candidates paraded into the folding chair-filled Quadrangle, friends and relatives strained their eyes and necks to pick out a familiar face among the mass of black gowns and tasseled caps. Parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents and friends still scurried for the choice seats. Everyone wanted a good view of the Arts Terrace. Overnight the popular Arts Ter- race had changed drastically. The frisbee players, sunbathers and smokers were replaced by potted ferns, microphones, a canopy and University dignitaries in caps and gowns. The administrative officers each took their designated seat on the stage. The students calmed their nerves. Parents loaded their in- stamatics with film. And the ceremonies finally began with the Symphony Band playing “Pomp and Circumstance.” Following the national anthem, invocation and greetings from Lieutenant Governor John Mutz, Will Parker, president of the board of trustees, took the microphone for the installation of Robert P. Bell as University President. Although some seniors had previously ex- pressed concern about sharing their e) graduation with the inauguration of [ Bell, the actual installation Ff % ceremony lasted no more than ten PRs minutes. Once Parker presented FQ. Bell with the presidential medallion, Bell officially became Ball State’s tenth president. The new president gave his ad- dress, and the ceremony proceeded to the presentation of the class of 1981 and the reading of degrees. This was the long moment awaited. This was why students put up with all-night studying sessions, made ex- cuses for beer-stained papers, ate popcorn and Spaghetti-O’s for din- ner and spent days at a time at Bracken Library. Some of the faces seemed to be looking back over such highlights of their college days. As they rose, sec- tion by section, to proceed across the Arts Terrace, some were laughing and jubilant; others were misty-eyed. As they walked across the stage, and received their diploma, some paused to wave, some held the diploma up for everyone to see and some hurried back to their seats. When a son or daughter approach- ed the terrace, parents hurried to the front with cameras ready to capture the important moment. Some | relatives cheered and others were too pride-stricken to do more than applaud. Gradually the boxes of diplomas became emptied. They were dispersed among the crowd of celebrating, kissing, hugging, picture-taking graduates and relatives. The tension was gone. The mood became festive as the crowd finished their gift-giving and hand- shaking and began heading home to graduation parties and celebrations. The only anxiety left involved the uncertainty of future plans, job hun- ting and leaving all the friends and familiar places of Ball State behind.

A college education begi ns the first day of orientation and doesn’t end until the day of graduation. What happens outside of the classroom is just as much of an education as what happens inside the classroom. A college education is term papers, finals and mid-terms. It is professors, graduate students and classmates. It is study lounges, class rooms and Bracken Library. A college education is fraternity parties, dorm parties and off campus parties. It is togas, hairy buffaloes and keggers. It is leaving for a party at 7 p.m., waking up in a stranger’s bed and coming home at 7 a.m. A college education is wearing Calvin Klein jeans, Izod shirts and Nike tennis shoes. It is painter pants, deck shoes and old gray sweatshirts. It is tuxedos, formals and, sometimes, wedding dresses. A college education is rooming with a total stranger, living in a run- down apartment and being stuck in temporary housing. It is having an 8 a.m. class in Carmichael, a 9 a.m. class in Cooper Science and a 10 a.m. class all the way back at Car- michael. It is learning how to balance a checkbook, learning how to wash clothes and leaving home for the first time. A college education is studying, all-nighters and cramming. It is cheat sheets, stolen exams and “giraffe necking” on a final. It is A’s, C’s and F's. A college education is fraternity brothers, sorority sisters and G.D.I.’s. It is meetings, clubs and organizations. A college education is long distance phone calls, letters from friends and care packages from home. It is tuition bills, phone bills and parking tickets. It is lost class schedules, stolen wallets and misplaced car keys. A college education is all of these and more. Only a college student knows the expressions, quietness, rowdiness, loneliness . . . and rela- tionships that make up college life.

Their faces were all __ different, their lifestyles all unique, but the mass crowd of people had one thing in common. They were a part of THE BIG SQUEEZE that encompassed the campus. They felt it in their too-small paychecks, their cramped classes, their economy Cars, and tiny apartments. But more importantly, they felt it in the closeness of their comrades. Friends stuck together. Hugs and good luck handshakes were essentials for finals week, and sometimes all it took was the squeeze of a hand to tell someone special just how much he meant.

Just a little professor humor, there. All set? The date is April 3, 1981. If you will all look into your viewing screens, you will notice the Scramble Light. It is 11:55 a.m. and everyone is changing classes. There are two people talking--see? The two with the leather jackets and feathered hair. “Say, Biff, you really should be at the chapter meeting. We’re going to decide the Bike-A-Thon uniforms. Personally, I think we should get the Izod shirts and Jordache shorts. We don’t want to look like the common teams.

We’re going to go to the library now. You can hear that it is very quiet, and hardly no one is talking. The ones who are talk- ing, are probably helping their fellow student on a difficult assign- ment. There’s two now. “Yeah, I’ve got a Trans-Am. I was cap- tain of my high school football team, and I lettered in...ah, I said I was captain of the football team. Yeah, and I’m really a sophomore, but somehow I only got 20 hours last year.

Although most people would think that all these assignments would keep students busy, it does not prevent them from getting bored. The most common detour directing interests away from studies is the T.V. Rather than struggle with algebra problems or determine the tense of a verb, the typical student turns to that magic box for diversion. Little does it matter that the pro- grams offered are usually insane situation comedies which deliver absolutely no mental stimulus. Consequently, it is a favorite past time to while away the hours that should be spent at a desk. However, there are some students unable to sit through hours of T.V. and turn instead to their stereos. It is believed by many college students that without the benefit of a decent stereo, school simply could not be survived! And when boredom descends, music is especially welcomed. One group of coeds in Knotts Hall put together an air guitar band called the “Four D’s and One J.” Kim Jackson, Marianne Black, Nancy Wellman, and Karen Sexton put on a favorite and especially rowdy album (usually REO Speedwagon), choose an instrument to pretend to play and decide who will mouth the words as the lead singer. Once everything is set and all are in their assigned position, the music goes on and the band puts on a performance. “Granted, it isn’t the most common means of battling restlessness, but we’ve gotten pretty good at it. We’ve even at- tracted an audience of the other girls on the floor. Maybe we should start charging admission!”’said sophomore Marianne Black. “Not only that,” senior Kim Jackson added, “but after we're done with our show, we’re usually too exhausted to go back to the books!” While an air guitar rock concert is staged in Knotts Hall, the girls of 7th floor Wilson Hall use music in a different manner. “We have been known to round up about five stereos in the study lounge and create our own disco,” Alanna Chichuk, a continued i eel | Bush Cronkhite Nancy Conelley Marion, Sophomore Michael Conner Kettering, Freshman Janet Kay Cook Brook, Freshman Thomas Cook Speedway, Sophomore Jeffrey S.

About the only item missing ‘rom the im- promptu night club was a glitter ball. But once the guys started to join in the dancing and various types of snack food from the girl’s rooms were offered, no one seemed to notice the omis- sion. Senior Diane Singer confessed that when monotony sets in she’ll pick up the telephone and call everyone she knows, only stopping short of going through the Muncie city telephone directory. “Although the thought has crossed my mind to pick out random numbers and just talk to whoever answers the phone. But I hate being hung up on, so | decided to control that urge,” said Singer. When life gets really boring, Jamie Dan, junior from In- dianapolis, looks around the kitchen for week old biscuits and calls up friends to form a baseball game--in his apartment living room. The biscuits are used as substitutes for the basic baseballs. “The way I figure it, the biscuits won’t cause as much damage as real baseballs. Although there have been times when the biscuits have been almost as hard,” Dan explained. Lisa Ledman and Lynn Borgeson tend to lean toward ac- tivities less athletic. Doing imitations of famous people and friends is what keeps these two Crawfordsville undergraduates from buckling into boredom. “Hey, it’s good for a laugh and since we’ve been bored a lot lately, our imitations have improv- ed!” said Ledman. Borgeson feels that her best impression is that of Sammy Davis, Jr., while Ledman sticks to imitating friend’s dance steps. continued CARIES INET tl Cronkhite Eltzroth Jay DeHority Anderson, Sophomore Julie Dellicolli Kokomo, Freshman Lisa Michele Delong Indianapolis, Freshman Timothy Deprey Ft.

By donning Bermuda shorts, Hawaiian shirts and Panama straw hats, Steve Funkhouser, Drew Strole, John Voorhees, Dave Kolger, and Doug Hagey create a vacation atmosphere right down to the finishing touch of sipping Mai Taies and beer. If all this fails to take them away from Muncie, a litle Frank Sinatra on the stereo helps develop the mellow mood necessary in a tourist spot. While many students attempt to find distractions indoors, others prefer to spend their free time outside. For instance, Jeff Glover and Phil Barrick pack up their scuba diving equipment and head out to the reservoir. “Prairie Creek Reservoir can’t compare to deep sea diving of course, but I’d much rather set- tle for what is available than sit at home. Besides, it’s a good time and | need the practice. That’s how I rationalize the time spent away from the various graphic art projects I should be working on!” Glover said. Sally Williams, Ohio senior, would rather travel 600 miles to a camping spot than stay on campus if she’s finding school life dull. It may be a bit to travel for some people, but William’s philosophy is that if she needs to get away from books and studies, she may as well get as far as possible from them. To shake off a hum-drum feeling, Stan Ross from Cowen exercises his horse at the fairgounds. During the spring Ross was training the horse, Jay Mite, as a harness racer. “To tell you the truth, I spend more time down at the fairgrounds whether I’m bored or not,” Ross confessed. So boredom can be combated in a number of unique and at times, eccentric ways. But if the somewhat bizarre is not for you, free time may be spent constructively by writing letters home, reading a long novel, doing laundry, or seeing a movie. However many students may feel as sophomore Rhonda Smith does, “If I get really bored, I go home!”0 : To some, “getting crazy,” meant dressing in cellophane and drinking beer. --photo by Tony DeCristofaro {5 Crazy Capers Trail i] Unelerclassmem | Lyle Haney N Webster, Freshman Mary Hansing Greenfield, Freshman Eileen Harbes Syracuse, Junior Kerry Harding Bloomington, Junior Matthew Harper Greentown, Junior Chad G.

But at Ball State there is an entirely dif- ferent species of rats, unique only to this area. This scholarly rodent can be viewed at the Student Center daily. Anyone entering the Tally Ho can see and study this peculiar species first-hand. He is a very friendly, warm and special human being known as a “Tally Rat.” Generally speaking, this “Tally Rat” can be described as “radical” in nature and a throw-back from the free-thinking hip- pie movement of the 60’s. Basically, these rats are of up- perclassman status, having found the joys of “ratdom” early in | life.

Susan VanDyke, 28-year-old Muncie senior has been a “Tal- ly Rat” since 1966. Susan got her indoctrination into “ratdom” as a student at Burris High School. “I originally started coming here while I was in high school to meet friends after school.

That’s the joy of ‘ratdom,’ ” said Vandyke. Three other “Tally rats,” Becky Slavin, Fortville sophomore; Nancy Dickerson, New Castle senior; and Karen Odom, Ander- son sophomore, all live in and commute from New Castle. They like the convenience of the Tally and use it as their favorite watering hole and resting place. Slavin said, “The other girls and I meet here after class and between classes, and we eat lunch here because the Student Center Food Service has improved greatly in the past year. We also all know Sarah, the cashier, so political beliefs and behavior. Getting involved in rallies and marches is a life-long commitment and a way of life for him, not just an ideal from years gone by. When the weather is nice, you’re also likely to see many “Tal- ly Rats” on the Arts Terrace throwing a frisbie or smoking some “Mexican lettuce.” To those students who avoid walking by the Arts Terrace because the long-haired radicals give you the willies, this really isn’t necessary. This species of rat does not carry the plague nor bite. They’re just fun-loving people who can’t be bought anywhere for any price. we come here to eat and talk.” Dickerson siad, “I have been a ‘Tally Rat’ for five years. My freshman and sophomore years | commuted, so I frequented this establishment often. My Junior year | avoided the ‘rat hole’ as much as posssible, and here I am again my senior year back in the rat race. There really is no other place to go when the weather is bad. The Tally really doesn’t of- fer an atmosphere very condusive to studying, but I’ve met a lot When the Pied Piper led the rats out of Hamlin, he must have stopped playing long enough for some of the friendlier ones to run into the Tally.

They are, in their own minds, devoted to a just cause and that scares a society that doesn’t like changes. Three organizations on campus, The Way, ENACT, and National Organization for Women are out to change society on religious, environmental and personal levels. The Way has infiltrated into the campus. The group is small, but as the leader and teacher, Steve Lortz said, “The meetings won’t be small forever.” The group originated when Paul Wier- wille claimed to have received a special revelation from God. “He (God) said He would teach me the Word as it had not been known since the first century if I would teach it to others,” he said. Much criticism has attacked The Way, because it varies strongly from the fundamental aspects of Christianity. It denies the Trinity and believes salvation gets them off the hook for any past, present, or future sin. Partaking in worldly desires is, therefore, possible. ENACT, over the past year, has had several major changes. Foremost was the resignation of John Bartlett, former director, who had to leave his position because he was not enrolled in any university classes. Jo Cotton and Jon Smith were then ap- Susan Kurt Indianapolis, Freshman Patricia LaFollette Lawrenceburg, Freshman Kathryn Laidly Kettering, OH, Freshman Paula Lamar South Bend, Junior Lisa Larch : : : : Lafayette, Freshman pointed as co-directors. The small group is “dedicated to piven Lares educating BSU of environmental concerns and informing them Hammond. Sophomore '_ of concerns on state and national levels,” Cotton said. The major concerns of ENACT are the recycling program, where aluminum, paper and glass are converted into cash, and the annual energy fair. They also encourage students to write to congressmen about environmental matters when new legislation is being considered. Members of ENACT act radically at times because they care about the environment. Cotton believes that “if the environment dies, we die. Everything we do now to the environment will multiply in effect later.” Lobbying against nuclear power and for alternative sources of energy, such as solar, wind, geothermal, and tidal are vital in order to reserve the world, perhaps even to make it better. A personal aspect enters into the National Orgainzation of Women. They believe in one thing--themselves. NOW was radical when they first started out, but after lobbying so long for the cause of equality it has lost its momentum. Or even worse, it has become too ordinary. People are tired of hearing about equal rights. The early 1970’s made the term equal rights com- monplace, and eventually dull. In other words, it has been run into the ground. Nevertheless, the devoted group will continue. Undoubtedly, ENACT and The Way will continue also, because they have one major thing going for them--dedication. Radical or not, they are devoted to a cause. And as it happens so often, change will happen because of a few who want it to come.0 Linda Larson Westville, Freshman Kimberly Law Atlanta, Junior Katherine Laws Brownsburg, Freshman Thomas Lazoff Fort Wayne, Freshman Sue LaRachelle Indianapolis, Freshman A.

Picture the kind-hearted nurse, the solemn mortician, the empathetic bartender. Benny Benefiel seems to fit his profession as precisely as his scissors clip hair--they are both to the point. Benny Benefiel is the barber in the Campus Barber Shop, located in the basement of the Stu- dent Center. Benefiel is a man of few words, humble concerning his brush with stardom. The barber of Ball State actually clipped the trademark hair of the man himself, Red Skelton, when he visited Ball State during Homecoming a few years ago. Benefiel has seen a lot during his 17 years at Ball State, from the days of $1.50 haircuts, now tripled, to today’s longer hairstyles. He has worked alone in the shop for the past six years, but there were once two additional barbers. “That was when everyone felt that they had to get a haircut every two weeks,” Benefiel remarked. A barber’s day is slow, especially in these days of permed and blow-dried hair, and the unusual occurs few and far between. Benefiel recalled the most exciting thing to ever occur in the shop (Skelton not withstanding) during the past ten years. “Right in the midd le of a haircut the lights failed. The guy did look funny.” And with that, the almost-celebrity and Babe Ruth baseball coach resumes what he does best, with a clip anda snip, and always to the point.U Benny Benefiel has seen heads and hairstyles come and go.

The campus has grown and spread out. There are other places for students to go,” said Benefiel. “In the 60’s the Student Center was quite the place,” said Iona Jones, hotel supervisor and 20-year employee of the Stu- dent Center. “I think the Student Center image was changed several years ago and now we’re trying to change it back. The Student Center was not really student oriented,” said Jones. Jones said the Blue Room, a nicely finished lounge adjacent to the hotel desk, was an example of the non-student image. Students were not allowed to enter the Blue Room. “It wasn’t there for the students. It was just a show place. We’re trying to change that image. Now, students are free to enter the Blue Room. We’ve got to make the Student Center truly a center for students,” said Jones. “The Student Center is too far out of the way,” said Rusty Helms, Crawfordsville sophomore. “It used to be the center of campus, but the campus spread northward. It’s just too long of a walk to get down there,” he said. “There are too many other places to go,” said Sophomore SEED DEPOT TOL DTI LE ODL ESTES DAR IRR EEL LR EE Jeff Surber. “It’s easier to go off campus or to the Commons or something,” said Surber. “The campus did grow north. That’s real and physical, but to use that as an excuse is a cop-out,” said David Thomas, assis- tant director of the Student Center. “The Student Center has kind of spiraled down as far as building, activities and staff. I think we are reversing that trend. We have the potential to turn this program back around. “We offer a lot of really excellent programs, but we have to get the students involved,” said Thomas. The Student Center and the Student Center Governing Board offer everything from sk i trips and horseback riding outings to tournaments and lectures. Movies, art shows, and dinner theaters round out the program. “We’re trying to make the student union as student oriented as possible. Students get hammered by classes, hammered by their roommates, and just plain hammered. We try to provide a place they can re-charge their batteries,” said Thomas. “I think we are making progress. Perhaps not as fast as we like, but we’re moving. We really need consistent funding and that can only come from the University. “We can do it as a team if students will open up to us. Even though the campus has shifted n orth, if we provide a positive program in a warm environment, then the students will find us.”U a GIRDER RT NELSPRUIT SEL REA LT EE AE AAI TED een een EAS PE OSE SESE ENCE INSEE BE STEIN!

Approximately two million pieces a year go through their office.

No, they aren’t piles of construc- tion material left by one of the many building crews on campus. Those forms, seemingly innocently placed, are the beginnings of a sculpture garden. The idea of the sculpture garden originated with William Storey, director of the Ball State Art Gallery, in 1978. What Storey had in mind was to provide students with the opportunity to enjoy contemporry art as well as providing them a pleasant outside study area. Presently Storey’s garden contains three modern free-form sculptures, but future plans promise many more additions. An architect’s drawing for the garden shows the area sur- rounded by a brick wall to allow for privacy and seclusion. New walkways, benches, and landscaping, as well as several more pieces of art are hoped for. Construction of the garden has come to a standstill due to lack of funding. According to Storey, support for this project comes from the friends of the Art Gallery Fund, some of the money being specifically designated toward the garden, privately donated gifts and perhaps grants given by the Indiana Art Association. The three sculptures now in the garden were donated by Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Feldman and Mr. and Mrs. Earl M. Latterman to help the idea get started. Two works are by a New York sculptress, Lila Katzen, and the other sculpture was created by former Ball State student, John McHaughton. Director of Campus Planning, Maurice Mann, hopes to start work on the walkways, necessary drainage and lighting, and the landscaping this summer. Once the sculpture garden is completed, it will be an im- pressive addition to the Ball State campus.U Samuelson Snyder Kerry Sue Simpson Danville, IL, Freshman Jennifer Skogland Kokomo, Freshman Angela Slayback Lawrenceburg, Junior Michael Slorarz Indianapolis, Junior Debbie Slowiak Hammond, Sophomore Ronald Small Whiting, Freshman Diana Smith Lawrenceburg, Junior Although over $10,000 has been spent on free-form sculptures, many students have little appreciation for their aesthetic value. --photo by F.

Ranging from the Baha’i Association to the Wesley Foundation, “thirty religious organizations are active at B.S.U. and function with the assistance of a faculty sponsor and a religious advisor appointed by the related Muncie congregation or state or national agency,” states the Ball State University Student Guide. Serving the cam- pus on a full time basis are 19 ministers, priests, and layworkers. Eric Gale, Indianapolis senior and Student Chairman of the Navigators, said about 40 students are actively involved with their group whose purpose is “to know Christ and make Him known.” Gale said through dorm evangelism, Bible studies, seminars, conferences, workshops, and social outings, Ball State students are given more of an ability to cope with the pro- Lebanon, Freshman Karen Spuzlock Monticello, Sophomore Jennifer Staggenbur Anderson, Sophomore Paula Staples Henryville, Sophomore Gina Stauffer Portland, Freshman Jeffrey S.

Campus Crusade sponsors Athletes in Action, For the Greeks, Family Night, and Leadership Training Class as well as small group Bible studies. Through these gatherings, prayer meetings, holiday parties, and game nights, Crusade’s overall emphasis is “to show people how they can have a personal rela- tionship with Jesus Christ,” Rittenhouse said. “The Christian Student Foundation or Campus House, located at 1411 W. Riverside Ave., is interdenominational and strives to meet the emotional and spiritual needs of Ball State students,” said Jerry Telford, assistant minister there. Campus House provides a place of fellowship for Christian students, a base for evangelism to non-Christian students, and training for students in leadership development and preparation in returning to the local church. “About 1200 students come in once during the year, and a core group of 40 to 60 students are most active with the ministry,” Telford said. Worship services on Sundays are attended by about 200 students, Telford added. The St. Francis of Assisi Newman Center, 1200 W. Riverside Ave., works to “create an atmosphere of Christian warmth in a college atmosphere,” said Laura Barr, Muncie senior and member of the Student Parish Council. “Through a student parish council consisting of 21 members, activities, prayer groups, and retreats are organized to serve the more than 3000 Catholic students at Ball State,” Barr said. The Newman Center holds Bible studies and special services for Christian holidays throughout the year. Masses are held both at the Newman Center and in Lafollette Complex.

Discipleship training ties in with the local church. “We don’t want students to lose touch with the whole church, Hopkins said. “We provide opportunities for students to use their Chris- tian commitment to reach out to other people,” Hopkins said. Forty to 50 students are at fellowship events at the Wesley Foun- dation. About 150 students attend worhsip services on Sunday, Hopkins said.

John Shafer, Milroy junior and committee chairman, said there are 20 to 25 active members at the Baptist House. Through student-led Bible studies, prayer and praise breakfasts, Friday night suppers, and Sunday morning seminars and Sunday night dialogues, the Baptist House, “provides a relaxing escape from campus in an easy atmosphere,” Shafer said. “Approximately 10 students are involved with the Baha’i Association,” said Sarah Mahboubi, Muncie fifth year student and president of the group.

But more than a church, this interdenominational meeting place, sup- ported by the Christian Church and Church of Christ, serves as a vehicle in strengthening Christian students’ faith at Ball State University. Campus House, staffed by senior minister Williard Walls, assistant minister Jerry Telford, and secretary Lois Straus, serves Christians at Ball State through worship services, retreats, Bible studies, prayer breakfasts, Friday night suppers, and coffee houses. Administrative duties, maintenance of the building and the yard, and programming are further carried out by student staff, selected each year.

He explained it is not so much Campus House but the people that go there who have helped him obtain a deeper commitment to God. “Tve learned there are as many needs as there are people, and you can’t meet all those needs. Campus House can’t meet all those needs, but we meet what we can. It’s important to discover what you have to offer and how you can offer that to people, and I’ve learned a lot of that by living at Campus House,” Lomax said. “Tve learned through my involvement at Campus House that you always have to work at applying Jesus’ teachings in your life whether it’s fun or not,” said Valerie Franklin, New Castle senior and student staff. “And I’ve learned I don’t like to just stay in the church but I want to go out and apply what I learn to other places--like in my classes,” Franklin said. Beth Benning, Huntingburg senior and student staff, sees Campus House as a place that offers the opportunity for students to find their own faith in God and to discover how im- portant a relationship with Christ is. “It’s not necessarily the place that has changed my life but what it stands for--that we’re a body of people that represents a part of the body of Christ. Campus House also makes me aware that we all have a part as individuals and also as a fellowship in the total body. Through that awareness, Campus House is a fellowship in the total body. Through that awareness, Campus House has provided me with the preparation to continue to grow and share after I leave Ball State.” Benning said. Campus House has helped Tim York, Kokomo senior and student staff, to put into practice the attributes of management that he’s learned from the College of Business. “It’s helped me to deal with the first-hand experiences with the negative and positive elements involved in developing a program and seeing it through God when no one else will believe in what I’m doing.” York has seen changes in Campus House over the five years he has been involved there, and he says that’s inspiring because it’s changing to meet the needs of the people. “A very important detail not to be overlooked is through the changes, the Campus House has not left its biblical principles. The biblical principles are the same today as they were five years ago. That’s a unique characteristic that is not maintained by many other organiza- tions,” York said.0 The scene in the Newman Center is not that of a typical church.

Christian Concerts Ministry, CCM, is an organization of Chris- tian students whose purpose is to minister through bringing Christian artists to campus. “The group is comprised of students from each Christian ministry on campus, totalling 20 official members,” said Jeff McQueary, Scottsburg junior and member of CCM. Now in its second year of activity, CCM brought to Ball State the DeGarmo and Key band, a Christian singing group, October 18, in LaFollette field. This concert drew about 600 people that huddled in blankets and bundled in coats to enjoy the Christian music. Leon Patillo, keyboard player and Christian singer came to University Hall March 22. Formerly with musical groups Santana and Earth, Wind and Fire, Patillo shared his music with approx- imately 450 people. “We’re not a profit-oriented organization,” said Linda Cumm- ings, Winchester senior and member of CCM. “Our goal is to br- ing Christian music to a secular campus and to expose people to different types of Christian music. It’s not all hymns.” “There is as much diversity among Christian artists as there is among secular artists. We choose people like Patillo and 2nd Chapter of Acts who'll be here next year because their goal is to minister rather than entertain,” Cummings said. The sole purpose of CCM is to minister the truth of Jesus Christ. “Christ has bridged the gap between us and God which now allows us to have a relationship with Him,” McQueary said. McQueary believes the group has bound together in the unity of faith and become mature as an organization seeking God’s purpose in a ministry. “One thing we’ve found is that we as a group are growing in effectiveness and efficiency in selection and production of Christian artists,” McQueary said.U Beaven Brown Lynn Borgeson Muncie, Social Work Frederick A.

Given to the university in 1969 by a retired Ball State science professor and his wife, the outdoor biology laboratory is used for research and classes, such as taxonomy and ecology. The third area, purchased by the university in 1971, is Ginns Woods, a 111-acre nature preserve rich in native trees. It lies approximately 15 miles north of the campus.0 by David Gardner A mid the duckweed and honeysuckle of the oxbow basin biology and natural resources students found another side to Ball State. In this river bottomland of cot- tonweeds and sycamores, many a student spent a quiet afternoon--quiet except for the calls of a bird or the occasional rustling of a squirrel. In the Miller Wildlife Preserve, owned by the university, students of science, birdwatching, wildflowers, and the out-of- doors saw the change of seasons: crisp, cool fall dawns with leaves crackling beneath their feet; quiet, snowy winter morn- ings; warm, spring afternoons, and hot, humid summer even- ings. The 16-acre preserve is located less than two miles southwest of the campus near White River Boulevard and Hawthorne Road. In the late 1930’s, the Army Corps of Engineers straightened out the course of the White River as part of a flood prevention program. It built a levee to hold back the spring floods in the area and forever isolated an oxbow of the river. The White River Boulevard runs along the top of the levee. Ball State purchased nearly 14 acres along this oxbow in 1946. A year later, an additional 2.6 acres were purchased giv- ing the property the title of Sixteen Acres. The gift of nearly an acre brought the total land in the area to just over 17 acres. The low land serves as an outdoor education area, providing students and faculty with the opportunity to study the larvae and organisms of the area in order to determine their effect on mankind. Life was at its peak in summer. Minnows and small fish swam beneath the duckweed, while frogs and salamanders hid along the river banks. A legion of painted turtles sunned themselves all summer on the stones and rocks of the river. There are no sidewalks, only a few paths winding leisurely through the trees and by the river. The cautious student, alert to movement in the folliage, encountered wildlife of a larger variety, ranging from opossum and raccoons to woodchucks and small snakes. Overhead, owls, hawks, and crows crisscrossed the sky. The Ball State Department of Biology operates three other field study areas. The most well known and visited is Christy Woods, an 18-acre tract on the west part of the campus which During peaceful, mellow days of summer, students often relaxed in the shade of a favorite tree. --photo by Steven Fry EESTI SESSA SLUT SHORE Robbin Clark Indianapolis, RTM Susan Claxton Kokomo, Biology Lisa Claytor Muncie, Home Econ Karen Cleaver Anderson, Office Admin.

Play is directly the opposite: It has no purpose but gives meaning to life. Play must be a total activity from a body that’s full of energy.” For George Sheehan, a New Jersey cardiologist and author of The Running Life, “play” is running. Sheehan is considered the philosopher of running. For some people running is the ultimate exercise while for others it’s a pleasant habit. The number of joggers in the United States today is estimated at more than 15 million. Most people say they run for physical appearance, health and psychological serenity. Because jogging is aerobic and develops cardiovascular endurance, many joggers often sleep better, have more energy, eat less and have sound, healthy bodies. Jogging a mile burns up about 125 calories for a 150-pound person. At that rate, a person who jogs two miles a day and modifies his eating habits slightly can burn up to 10,500 a month or three pounds per month. Losing three pounds in a month may not seem earth-shattering but jogging is a recommended method to not only lose weight, but more importantly, to keep it off. Good running shoes are essential for the jogger as they are designed to cushion the impact of jogging and support the arch and heel. Cheap shoes can cause blisters and bruised muscles because they do not have adequate support. Steve Folgate, Marion senior, has been jogging for six years. Each day he jogs between eight and 12 miles. Folgate’s advice for beginning joggers is to “be consistent and jog a little every day.” Steady but modest progression allows the body to adapt to the new demands more easily. It also helps a person to fight the urge to give up completely. According to Essence, there is a new breed of jogger today, one that is “strong, fit and full of energy and self-confidence that comes with having a body that is in tune with itself.”0 Marathons provide the ultimate in fulfillment and discomfort. Many times the discomfort is fulfilling, though. --photo by F.A.

What was that? Believe it or not the blur that just whizzed by was a Ball State student--on roller skates! When the weather was nice during fall and spr- ing quarters there were a few students who tied on a pair of skates instead of shoes and skated around other people who chose the more conventional way of walking to classes. But roller skating was only one fad of 1980-81 to hit Ball State. An activity popular around midnight on weekends was to take in a feature of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. This movie, which was a take off of the old Frankenstein pictures, reached almost cult status by inviting the audience to participate in the plot. Fans would dress up as their favorite character and on cue would throw food and say lines in unison. French braids proved to be popular with many females on campus.

For awhile it seemed every sentence spoken had the words “Tm so sure!” in it. Exactly why this phrase caught on is hard to determine, but its origin came from the late night show, Saturday Night Live. A new gimmick in some bars was the mechanical bucking bull. This metal bull, developed to meet the cowboy craze that swept the country, tested the riding skill of anyone who attempted to mount it. Many a would-be cowboy, felled by the animal, pro- bably hoped that would be the closest he ever got to a real buck- ing bull! To go along with that western spirit, a lot of students strutted around in fancy cowboy boots and Setson hats. Just because In- diana is in the heart of the midwest is no reason for Hoosiers not to share in the rawhide and round-up attire of the wild west. Conservatism made a big comeback with the election of Ronald Reagan for president in 1980. A strong defense and big budget cuts in welfare programs were supported and even cheered about. Nonetheless the anit-nuclear sentiments and ERA women’s rights movements were still as strong and intense at Ball State as in previous years. Frozen yogurt, ham on pizzas and carob covered candy were a few of the “in” foods this year. Local merchants as well as the student center catered to these new gastronomical tastes and were not disappointed in the big sales. continued Charles Frank Bluffton, Marketing Stephen Franklin Oxon Hill, MD, Visual Comm Valerie Franklin New Castle, Dietetics Kathy Franzman Brookville, Elementary Ed Jone Annette Frazier Muncie, Finance Harrison J.

There were home versions and an increasing popularity in their larger counterparts. Games such as “Space Invaders” were found in nearly every pizza parlor and bar in town.

Bridges manual called “The Official Preppy Handbook” (Workman Publishing, $3.95). Lisa Birnabach, the 24 year old editor of “The Handbook,” claimed that the purpose of the book was to “democratize preppy and make everyone elite so there would be no one to snub.” As with millions of other college coeds, many Ball State students liked the preppy look. Speedway Junior Kathy Casa- q day said she started “getting into the classic look because it’s fun and makes you feel like you’re not getting older.” Chicago sophomore Tyrone Johnson said he started dressing preppy when it became a fad. Some people were not as enthusiastic about the current fashion trend, however. Lafayette sophomore Dave Kenny con- virtual preppy epidemic swept college campuses nation- sidered himself a “borderline preppy.” “I think everybody wide, and Ball State was no exception. Izod sweaters should look nice and it’s better than wearing overalls all the time and shirts, cable knit cardigans, plaid kilt skirts with knee | guess,” Kenny said. Steve Funkhouser, Richmond socks, khakis and topsiders were trademark items of attire which sophomore, said preppy clothes are “good quality and have lFasiniomalolie lFadl by Pam Hicks distinguished a “preppy” from other students. The sudden scramble for the classic look had merchants’ sales thriving. According to Newsweek, in 1980 the G. H. Bass Com- pany in Wilton, Maine tripled production of Weejun loafers to 6,000 pairs per day. Also, $150 million worth of Gloria Vander- bilt jeans were sold in 1980. However, it took more than proper clothing to make the full- fledged preppy. Preppies also had distinctive vocabulary and mannerisms. These guidelines could be found in a 224 page been around a long time but it’s turned into a fad.” For those people who were totally against the preppies, an anti-prep movement was started by Michael Katz, a senior work- ing his way through Princeton. Katz devised and sold pins for $1 ($2 off campus), featuring an alligator with a red slash through it (The international auto symbol for “forbidden”). Although the anti-prep movement hasn’t hit Ball State yet, when and if it does, wearing topsiders and Izod’s will probably be as taboo as not wearing them is now.)

To combat the loneliness some students adopt pets, whether legal according to the housing contract or not. Dormatories were designed for the occupancy of students and for the most part, only students. But not everyone likes to live alone. Some people prefer the company of fuzzy, furry friends. These are the people who break rules and regulations just to own a pet. Adopting a guinea pig is one way to fight the “Marine life in fresh water facilities” is the only kind of pet loneliness of college. '--photo by Patty Hughes allowed by the housing contract. No regulations are made about the size or condition of the tank, but it can only contain fish. Fish are nice enough for those who want a pet to watch rather than cuddle or hold, but not everyone has that preference. Page Backus, Tichenor Hall resident, is one of the students who prefers a pet with a little fur. Page and her roommate, Mary Lavery, owned two hamsters while living in the dorm. “We keep them in two cages and clean them once a week.” Page said. “We don’t have to hide them because the director is seldom around.” During a fire drill, however, their director spotted the furry friends and asked the residents to get rid of them. She never bothered to follow through on her request, so the residents kept their pets. Lavery also found a sheep dog puppy in a building on cam- pus, and she carried it home. She kept it in the dorm room until the dog’s owners answered her newspaper ads. Mysch Hall director, Rachel Brooks, said any pets other than fish are illegal, and she is “supposed to” ask the residents to get rid of them. In her time as director, Brooks has been faced with hamsters, gerbils, kittens, and an occasional puppy. It’s hard to hide a cat or dog in a small dorm room, Brooks said, because they can’t be let outside. It’s not long before the whole hall can smell the pet. Hamsters and kittens are not the only pets students take to, but perhaps they are the friendliest. Senior Rick Walters had a pet tarantula named Horrace. Though Horrace rarely sees the outside of his cage except to look through the glass, he is still a threat to Walter’s visitors. When told Horrace was ugly and hairy, Walters said he preferred to call it “burly, because it sounds so much more com- manding.” Even though housing contracts forbid owning any pets other than fish while in the dorm, many students find ways around the system. Whether a hamster or a tarantula, owning a pet is just another way to beat the system and that is a challenge few students can pass up.U Teal ft Degree Candidates Marianne Janicek S.

Assassins. The object of the game? Seek out your target and kill. The place? Ball State Univer- sity. With the reopening of school after Christmas break the university, the city of Muncie, surrounding areas, and many of the inhabitants within were suddenly aware of an alarming fact. Terrorists had struck. Armed with dart guns and three darts con- taining lethal doses of poison, the unassuming murderers were preying on the college students. But, there was a hitch. Everything was a game. Play, fun. Everything from the guns and darts to the fake assassinations was a part of a game called “Assassins.” Assassins hit many colleges this year as a way for students to relieve themselves of the monotony and tensions brought on by the either too slack or too rigorous college life. Senior Will Gam- ble, Denver, Colorado and Greg Muirhead, Indianapolis sophomore introduced the game at Ball State after Christmas break. Gamble learned of the game from his sister when they were both home for the holidays. Some 150 students paid the $3 entry fee to participate in the killings. Each player was given his gun and darts along with a copy of the game rules, and their victim’s names were drawn. Assassins were to locate their victim and assassinate. After a player had been killed, he still had to follow through on killing his victim as every player was given his chance to be an assassin. The last player left to be assassinated was considered the win- ner. Once the game began, none of the players were safe. One was chased across the Arts Terrace, tackled, and shot. Com- muters were followed to their homes and assassinated on their own front doorsteps. And finally, one assassin decided to take advantage of his victim while his pants were down, waiting until his target was comfortably seated in a restroom before attacking. Obviously, everyone seemed to have a weakness whether it was the lack of speed needed to evade his pursuer, the lack of knowledge of when you’re being followed home, or as in the last case, nature’s calling.0 2 @ a. oa g tates es ® 22° 2° @, One player. for his-unsuspectin -by Tony DeCristofaro “tp ais Janicek Kessler Shirley Jones Cleveland, OH, Comp Sci James W.

It could have carried a label: “To be used only as a last resort;” because that is what is was. It was a reserve, a safeguard against the penny-pinching Friday nights when no restaurant coupons or willing dates could be found. Friday evenings without dining service food were a mixed blessing to Lori. The break from the overcooked ravioli, greasy fried chicken, tasteless beef and noodles or pork fritters at times outweighed the burden of finding an inexpensive, tasty eating establishment. Ponderosa, Rax, Arby’s, Noble Romans and McDonalds were favored by the girls on her floor, unless it rained. Rainy weather promoted restaurants with delivery: Domino’s and Greeks, pre- dominately. A carefully planned “splurge” resulted in a well-dressed but costly trip to a higher quality place, but these were infrequent. Without a car, students were stuck using the order-ins each week unless they could arrange a ride with a friend. Carloads of four or more students head for the fast-food havens on Friday evenings. Although they avoid the parking, ticketing and tow-away problems, students, male especially, are hindered by the lack of acar, and not exclusively on Friday nights. Men who want to impress their dates will have a difficult time if the best they can offer is a trip to Pizza King and an SCGB movie. Those with the gleaming Trans-Ams and a fast ride (and line?) to Butterfields or Kings will undoubtedly be more success- ful. Students without cars are tied to the whims and schedules of their roommates and close friends in finding rides to . . . where- ver they want to go. Photographers cannot trek to Jack’s Cam- eras for their lifeblood photo paper and supplies; elementary education majors cannot reach the children they long to teach; marketing majors who try to sell their product are also hindered. Rides to the mall are important and often require intense plan- ning to fit rider and driver schedules and include where to meet, who to include and how long to stay.

They can be seen hauling huge and heavy bags of laundry to the closest laundromat and then bringing the clean, but equally as heavy and wrinkled clothes back. Grocery shopping can be troublesome for walkers; when the order overflows to more than one sack, even a block’s walk can seem like a mile. Bag boys who offer to carry the purchase out must be politely turned down, although some female students report trying to entice them to carry the heavy groceries all the way to their apartments, instead of to a non-existent car. Off-campus students are also familiar with the “Can opener blues,” resorting to the previously-mentioned Spaghetti-Os, beef stew, ravioli, soup or the instant macaroni and cheese as a fast dinner. Those students that are involved in numerous activities or have late afternoon classes, when arriving home at 7 or 8 p.m., are disinclined to fix an elaborate meal and usually resort to con- venience foods. “It’s times like that when I appreciate Mom and the food she always had ready for me at home,” said an Indianapolis sopho- more who lives in Greenbrier Apartments. Anyone without a car, on campus or off, can sympathize with the embarrassments, difficulties and time involved in finding a ride home. Rides at break are easier to find but to go home for an “off weekend” can be as tricky as extracting a festered tooth. continued Jeff Lauman Valparaiso, Earth Sci Mary Lavery Laporte, Psych Joni Lea Buffalo, Psych Sharon Lebryk Munster, Poli Sc Scott Lechner Evansville, Marketing Charlene Lee Gary, French a] err Be 3] mies Sard Seas Students without transportation usually find ways to compensate. -photo by William Vance a Ruth Lee Muncie, Home Econ Kathryn Leer Julie Lehunt Patricia Lemmons Deborah Lewis Douglas J.

Consider the disgust in calling people you don’t know with a line like: “You don’t know me but Mary Jenkins told me you’re from New Albany and might be going home this weekend. I need a ride and I'll help pay for gas.” College students do it ev- ery weekend. Another every weekend activity is hitting the bars or discote- ques. College students are notorious for trying to obtain and use false identification, the “fake I.D.” Establishments serving alcoholic beverages are favored enter- tainment spots and without proof of legal age, the delights of li- quor, dancing and, most importantly, socializing with members of the opposite sex, are severely limited. Jenny, a freshman from Marion, explained it this way. “All my friends in the dorm are older. They like to take off unexpected, for a pitcher of beer or to Kings on Thursday nights. I’m 19 and while they don’t mean to leave me out, I’m stuck at home doing homework.” Hastily memorized social security numbers and addresses or rummaging through the backs of less reputable magazines rem- edy this lack of legality for some. Borrowing others’ I.D.s, whether for the evening or every weekend, is also common. However, several Muncie bars, including the Chug-A-Mug and Butterfields, require two pieces of identification at the door, due in part, to the proliferation of false identification. Flashlights and a careful scrutiny rebuff the idea of bluffing your way through or slipping in without an I.D. College students also are expected to be perpetually broke. After paying $3,000 or more a year for an education, working only three months at minimum wages and visiting bars every weekend, how could they be any other way? On-campus employment is an income supplement to some, a necessity for others. Most students work about 20 hours in the two-week pay periods, netting between $50 and $70. Getting paid bi-monthly is no problem for those who have learned to budget or stretch their funds. Those who haven't, however, find the last three or four days rather uncomfortable, without cash and without the means to buy anything, do any- thing or go anywhere. From most indications, most students fall into this latter group. continued Slushy streets are a common winter nuisance for drivers and pedestrians. --photo by William Vance REE IEE REET TEM ITV EF EEE SLA SE ETCETERA ETE DESI BEI DEEN EEA TR ILS EEE LEIS Jackie, McKee Rochester, Elementary Ed Jon A.

Area merchants note larger spend- ings on pay-day Wednesdays; perhaps they also note less cus- tomers the days preceeding it. College students learn to live with a lot of things: neighbors who crank their stereo at 2 a.m. or 6 a.m., disregarding those still sleeping; professors who cancel 8 a.m. classes—after stu- dents arrive; losing a contact lens down the sink drain and hav- ing someone else wash it away before a maintainance man can be reached. Students who are very ill must not only cope with a 103 de- gree temperature, the constant struggle to keep their food down and the unhelpful roommate but also is expected to trek over to the Health Center during precise hours, sit with others’ contami- nated germs, call their professors and make up assignments, not daring to fall behind. They must learn to wait patiently in lines in the Administration Building and sifting through the red tape that accompanies most university dealings. Arriving five minutes after the dining service or post office closes, walking across campus to cash a check and finding you forgot your I.D. or having it start to pour outside when you have no umbrella and must walk from Carmichael to Cooper—in ten minutes are all part of your education.

The office is Handicapped Student Ser- vices, and the student coordinator is Senior Bruce Rose. Rose, under the direction of Richard Harris, and Max Adam- | son, Muncie senior, supervise all of the handicapped programs | including the attendant care program which provides handicap- | ped students with an able-bodied roommate who attends to the needs of the handicapped. Attendants are hard to find, but housing is even more scarce. “Ball State is physically accessible, classroom-wise, building- wise. The problem we’re having is housing for females. We ex- panded three years ago to LaFollette for males, but there was no place for females. We’re talking about moving to Trane or Tichenor, but we haven’t been able to demonstrate to housing numbers enough. We’ve got the numbers, but they've moved off campus due to the housing cruch. It’s a kind of Catch-22.” Finding attendants is another matter. Meetings are held in the spring for prospective attendants, during which education films are shown and explanatory lectures given. What the students hear is far from a sales pitch, however. “All along we try to discourage them from being attendants,” Rose admitted. “We don’t want people who are just doing it for the $4 an hour. We need people that are conscientious, that will be there when you need them, but are not over protective. It’s a special person who can be an attendant.” Physical accessibility is no longer a problem for handicapped students, according to Rose. “We’re almost totally program ac- cessible, except for the architecture building. It’s kind of ironic.” continued Added accessibility to events such as mass at Newman Center has come through time and efforts from members of Handicapped Student Service. --photo by F. A.

He’s doing F work. I'll give him a C, but that’t the best I can do,” Rose quoted the professor as saying. “At the other end, there are the profs who expect more. Two years ago a prof in the English department who’s no longer here called Rich Harris. It was straight and to the point: ‘I’ve got a handicapped student in my class. I want him out now.’”” Rose said. Not all of the faculty hold such prejudicial views, Rose underscored. “The profs are really understanding, for the most part. The profs are becoming more receptive. We just want to even things out.” Social functions are a deterrent tc loneliness and feelings of isolation. --photo by William Vance Winters can mean a hazardous trip across campus for handicapped students. --photo by William Vance Nicholson Poisel Michael Pasierb Cedar Lake, Ind.

It is not that the student who is making such a request is being anti-social. It’s just hard at times to concentrate on notes for a test when your roommate insists on playing the stereo at full volume, a water fight is being carried on outside your door, and the screams and yells of a softball game across the street filter through the window. But where can a resident of the dorms escape to when a little privacy is longed for? With a little ingenuity and perhaps discom- fort, some st udents are able to discover a small corner to call their own. Janice Throgmartin from Indianapolis would sneak off to the laundry room, closing the door behind her so that she’d be secluded from the noise of the other girls. About the only inter- ruption she would encounter would be someone retrieving their clean laundry. “I guess most people were somewhat startled to find me actually studying in the laundry room instead of a more conventional setting. But as long as | didn’t let the sound of the dryer put me to sleep, I got a lot accomplished,” Throgmartin said. Some residents of Knotts Edwards Halls climbed up to “the penthouse,” located on the roof of those LaFollette dorms. It is a large, bright yellow room with various graffetti scattered over the walls. Occassionally one will find a lone student up there, wat- ching TV, playing the piano or simply sitting and listening to delicious silence. “It’s rather nice being able to get away from it all without really getting that far away,” said Kim Combs, a resi- dent of Knotts who as taken advantage of the top floor. However not every dormitory has the benefit of a “pen- thouse,” so for those students who seek silence within the con- fines of the hall, they may have to resort to desperate measures.

And Cristine Carey, from Brownsburg, will go to a shower stall to gain her piece of mind. “There have been times when someone has caught me in the shower, fully dressed. just sitting there, reading a book, or even sleeping. It’s embarrassing, but the time alone is well worth it,” Carey confided. continued After finishing his homework, Danny Young escapes from pressures and turns to his music. --photo by Julie Wark Beside the creek leading to the Duck Pond, Kevin Mahoney pauses to reflect for a moment. --photo by Patty Hughes Porter Renner “eseeererennotn sen Sn Say _ a Sr “d “u it Ra 7 a .

Actually it was a discovery more out of necessity than imagination. But ever since then I’ve used it as my personal den and lounge. It’s great!” said Freshman Perry Shepard. But for some dormies solitude cannot be attained in any part of the residence complex. Therefore other buildings on campus are visited and transformed into hiding places. A lot of students find an empty classroom, a seldom used stairway, or even the open roof of a building to use as their place to get away from the rest of the world. Finding a deserted corner may prove difficult to find at Ball State. But if one is desperate enough and willing to do a little searching, those secluded spots are out there--in the strangest places. A quiet corner outside of LaFollette becomes a place of refuge for a silence-seeking student like Carolyn Payne. -photo by Patty Hughes —— ee ARREARS PT ETI ESN Rensberger Savich Patricia Rister Merrillville, Journalism Elizabeth Rivera Gary, Special Ed.

Instead, many lead the normal, well adjusted routine of the almost unpredictable college male--normal in all aspects except the sexual partner he most enjoys. The same applies to lesbian women at Ball State as well. Weekends seem to be the usual time for escaping the “straight routine” of campus, and many gays gather together and head for the bars in Indianapolis or a growing favorite, “Infinity,” in Dayton, Ohio. “The Water Main,” much like “Infinity,” is popular for many Ball State homosexual students. It offers two distinct advantages. One, being located in Ohio, where the drinking age is 18, anyone of college age can go there. Two, it is far enough away from the mainstream of life in Muncie that chances of being seen by an ac- quaintance are slim. This is expecially appealing to “closet” gays. Closer to home, “The Carriage House” and “The Mark III Taproom” of Muncie are also frequented by gays. These places are not entirely gay bars, though. Since people who are not gay go to these bars, “closet” gays can maintain their secrecy. “The gay life is a whole world unto itself,” one gay Ball State male said. “It’s like an underground organization that only sur- faces when someone on the outside--like Anita Bryant--allow it 10x In a year when anti-gay activist Anita Bryant announced she Tne Gay Lite | Mf had decided the homosexual is a human being and does have | SCa ING f e feelings, the subculture on campus existed almost daily without much notice from the others around it.

Nor is he the Coke-slurping, danish chomper in the lounge. A Bracken Bum knows and uses every foot of Bracken. He knows the card catalogue from “A” by Louis Zukofsky to Aleksander Zyw’s paintings. He takes ad- vantage of the reference desk and has thumbed through Who’s Who in British Crime on numerous occasions. A Bum is also familiar with the variety of T=: clank of dime on metal. The whur learning materials in Educational Resources. He has examined the human skull several times, as well as the World War I German Army helmet, complete with spike. Ditto the ostrich boa and fan, and the other pieces of 1900’s women’s ap- parel donated by the Ball women. The animal lover in him has examined the stuffed squirrels, pheasants, and other birds, as well as the plastimount insect specimens. And for those cultured Bracken Bums, there are the reproduc- tions of great paintings to be checked out for an entire quarter. An experienced Bracken Bum can name every record album available through Educational Resources, from Scott Joplin to the Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin. And he’s probably played them all, at least once, even the collection of folk music from around the world. But even the most studious Bracken Bum must enjoy some leisure time. And if he enjoys watching movies, he’s smart enough to know where he can watch free classics without leaving the security of Bracken’s brick walls. Film Resources has everything from classic Chaplin and Laurel and Hardy to episodes of I Love Lucy and Ozzie and Harriet. And he’s seen them all, as well as Bran- do’s On the Waterfront adozen times or more. That’s a true Bracken Bum for you--someone who eats, sleeps (especially sleeps), and breathes the educational en- vironment of the library. He can be seen at any hour on any floor doing anything from reading Time to writing research projects and even yearbook articles about people who hang around libraries.U . .

They are the core ( of college. They may not be the only reason that we’re here, but they're ob- viously a very major part of this, our college career. Classes cover a wide spec- trum. So do the students who take them. Ball State offers just about everything imaginable for the average (and the not so average) student. He is offered everything from Accounting to Zoology. In the years one spends at college. he will probably also find that classes vary in difficul- ty, in value, and in enjoyment. Most will agree that all majors require hard work. Some classes just seem to demand more time and devotion than others. Some of these classes are found in the infamous Architecture Department.

Some of their classes include Design, Structure, Systems, and Survey, combined with a lot of long hours spent in the studio. The program is a five-year plan, too, so the Arkie major must plan on a lot of preparation before he is out in the real world. Nursing is another large and demanding department at Ball State. Sue Reiner, Goshen senior and nursing major, said she feels clinical nursing is the most time con- suming sequence of her major and in- volves a lot of stress, a new environment, and someone looking over your shoulder constantly. Nursing has two built-in minors in either Biology, Psychology, An- thropology, or Sociology. The nursing pro- gram also had required students to take still another outside minor. It is now, however, dropping that requirement, and Reiner said she feels this is good. “The extra minor is too much.” Of the hard majors on campus, Reiner said, “we’ve got to be up there pretty close to being one of the hardest.” The artists and musicians are also very devoted to their work. One can wander through the halls of the Music Building anytime to hear someone diligently, earnestly practicing. Or stop by the studios in the Arts Building. There is always a painter, weaver, potter or sculptor to be found work- ing. But the hard work in all fields can at times be very enjoyable and rewarding. Business major and South Carolina Senior Cheryl Mallory said some of the roughest classes in her department are Finance, Business Statistics, and she particularly remembers Money and Banking. “In that class,” said Mallory, “the prof meant business. It was very time consuming, but the time was well spent. I learned a lot.” Still more examples of time consuming classes are found in the Natural Resources Department. Mike Pestridge, Zionsville senior, explained how much of his time is taken up with field trips or in labs. Some of his hardest classes include Chemistry, Geology, and a mapmaking class in Geography. “The mapmaking was hard, took lots of time, but was also very rewar- ding and satisfying and helped me narrow down what I really wanted to do.” Pestridge explained that certain core classes are known to be hard, and people generally plan on a lot of work in them. When asked about her major, telecom: munications, Jasper Senior Pat Fierst said, “It can be hard.” Fierst feels that some of the roughest classes in telecommunications involve law. “The laws of communications have to be updated almost daily. You can’t have a book because it would be outdated before it got printed. You take a lot of notes and work to keep up,” said Fierst. eee ee ae £° 2 5aa22%. . eee, he te a on oe ee oe ee re ee epee OF — “ACADEMICS eee eee ES Difficult Classes. Ss =x rm SA aE Sweating Out The Workout P.E. STU DENTS ENDURE VARIETY OF CLASSES diver can become certified as a scuba diver ne of the departments which of- Oe«: the largest variety of classes is the Department of Physical Education. P.E. covers sports (indoor and outdoor), dance, exercise, and recreation. With six P.E. credits required of all students, many interesting and exciting classes are offered to choose from to get those credits. Whether a student has rhythm in his heart or he feels that the more competitive sports are for him, the P.E. Department of- fers everything from Folk Dance to Ad- vanced Basketball. A variety of condition- ing and exercise classes are also in the long list to choose from. But some of the many interesting classes are ones that not every one knows about. For example, although Fencing is a class offered, it isn’t very often that you see someone carrying his sword around in his backpack. Skiing and Horsemanship are also possible choices, but getting a pair of skis or a saddle on the bus with you could be a major challenge. So, most people don’t even hear about those amazingly unusual forms of recrea- tion. For instance, when the first thing you learn in a class is how to fall out of a canoe, it would be a pretty good guess that it's going to be an exciting quarter. Pam Miyata, LaPorte senior and aquatics minor, says that Basic Canoeing is one of the classes she has enjoyed the most in her field. The first day of class (which meets in the pool in University Gym) the class learns how to get in a canoe, how to flip it and how to get back in it while in the water. Part of learning to canoe involves working with a partner, taking turns working the front and then the back of the canoe. The canoers practice different strokes. Then the class gets to put all this into effect. They go out to the Waterbowl (an old quarry not far out of Muncie) by carpool twice a week. At the Waterbowl the canoers learn how to carry their own canoes by themselves, and rca Education ty ees eS ae ACADEMICS once in the water, practice their skills by playing water games in their canoes. The prof is also in a canoe the whole time, either by himself or with a partner from the class. The final in canoeing class is done on a creek in Muncie. The student and his part- ner go down the creek by themselves and handle anything and everything that comes up. If the weeds are high and they have to take their canoe out and carry it for a while, they do! Pam Miyata said it is one of the most fantastic classes to take in the spring. “After the winter, the water is high. It’s so much fun!” The terrific thing about the class is that it doesn’t have any added cost. It’s simply a fun way to learn to “ride the waves!” And for the really hooked canoer, there is the advanced class that teaches how to canoe through white water. Another intriguing P.E. class in- volves someome putting on a tight suit, wearing a heavy tank on his back and going 30 feet under. Scuba diving is offered for class credit and a lot of fun. This class doesn’t involve any extra fee, either, but a student needs to pass a physical exam from the Health Center before being allowed to dive. The class begins in the pool also, where the diver becomes familiar with the equipment (all provided by the gym). He prac- tices putting on his mask, snorkel, belt, tank and flippers. The actual diving is then done at the Water- bowl first because it is shallow, then the class moves on to Phillip’s quarry where it is deeper. All diving is done with a buddy. Phillip’s quarry is not a public ac- cess site, and it does involve a small cost to dive there. The cost includes rent of the facilities and all equipment. According to Pam Miyata, the suits are fantastic and the quarry itself is the most interesting thing imaginable. Miyata explained that the quarry used to be an old outside pool in Muncie that got cracked and was left for junk. It is now buried in the deep, dark water of the quarry. The water is full of treasure--old junk cars, large mirrors that divers can ac- tually see themselves in as they dive, and you can even see the old swimming pool! The diver must also be wary of snakes. Upon completion of the scuba class, the and receive his certificate and card. For the === diver interested in going deeper into the sport, there is the Advanced Scuba class. Therefore, since P.E. classes are one of these inevitable facts of life, the choice of those classes doesn’t have to be. P.E. classes are as individual as the students who take them. For those students who can’t really get into the competitive sports like basketball and bad- minton, classes like Yoga and Exercise are good ways to work off some of the winter quarter blubber.

The classes are required to provide every student with a well-rounded educa- tion. It also gives the student a chance to try different fields in an effort to find the one just right for him. The undergraduate catalog states: “The purpose of General Studies at Ball State is to provide undergraduates with the concepts, understandings, skills and values necessary for educated men and women to live pur- posefully in modern society...to establish the unity of knowledge and experience, the distinct courses in general education share common goals in the sense that they all should promote a spirit of inquiry, relate knowledge from varous fields, and en- courage continued liberal education on the part of the student.” The areas involved are humanities, social and behavioral sciences, sciences and mathematics, and business, technology and applied fields. Many students feel that the general studies are a good idea. Sue Reiner, Goshen senior, said “It’s a good way to meet people outside your major and not spend all of your time on one area.” Chery! Mallory, South Carolina senior, agrees that they're good. “You can take them and they help you find your interests. It depends on whether you know what you want to go into, and most people really don’t at first.” Some of the specific general studies classes that stand out are the popular General Education 210 (“Peace and War’) with Dr. Barber, Health Science 160 with Herb Jones, General Psychology 100 with Dr. Meuier, and Emergency Health Care 250 with Dr. Hahn. Of Gen. Ed. 210, Pat Fierst, Jasper senior, said that it helps you “broaden yourself and it makes you more aware of your environment. Dr. Barber is ' not a stuffed-shirt prof; he’s very open and � that makes a big difference.” Jenny Bryan, Warsaw senior, said she RAL STUDIES SERIES feels everyone should take Emergency Health Care. “It’s important first aid--it’s important to everybody.” Mike Pestridge, Zionsville senior, said General Psychology is fantastic. “The text and the prof (Dr. Meunier) made the class. He could talk to large classes easily.” The class involves understanding human behavior, which is something very impor- tant and basic to us all. Among the not so favorite general studies requirements are English 103 and 104. The main response to these classes was summed up by Fierst -- “Oh, gag!” They are designed to provide the English speaking person with a basic understan- ding of his language. But are they too picky? Most students feel they are made difficult to weed out non-college material. Bryan feels that one does need to have the English courses. “It’s hard,” says Bryan, “but you need to learn to com- municate with people.” Reiner agreed that the grammar and public speaking are im- portant, but that poetry and explication needn’t be as stressed. Pestridge said bluntly that English 103 and 104 “are the most ridiculous classes on this university. Just because you can’t write a six-page theme without one limiter does not mean that you are inept! A basic understanding of the language is good, but the pressure on theme writing is not.” What this all boils down to is that students are here for an education. Most are very aware of that, very proud of it, and are working hard to acheive it. Some of the classes are required, some are chosen, some are taken just for fun. And after years of reading course descriptions in the handbook, sitting through a variety of 100 level classes, and constantly filling out class schedules, one thing is for sure. In between the partying, the friends, the trips home and the just plain having a good time, classes are there, and they are a ma- jor part of, a good reason for, and a valuable result of being in college. U General Studies ae | - Sewercs Hl eee A Pain in the Pocket A Cut in the Checkbook THE WOES AND WORRIES OF BUYING TEXTBOOKS by Karin Klute students to see large dollar signs and to feel crimps in their billfolds. “The average price of a textbook runs bet- ween $12 and $15, and many are running $20,” said W.R. ‘Schaffner,. Ball State Bookstore manager. Some students feel the financial burden of purchasing textbooks more than others do. Architecture and nursing texts are the most expensive books on campus with history books occasionally running high. The financial aspects of textbooks are important considerations to both the students and the bookstores. A textbook used for an educational psychology class was purchased by Darla Burdette, Marion senior, for $15.95 when she was a freshman. Three years later, the same text was being sold used at the Col- legiate Book Exchange for $14.25. Buy back value during the middle of the quarter for the book was $5 at both the CBX and the Ball State Bookstore. The CBX beught the book back for $5 and reshelved it for $14.25. Books bought back at the Ball State Bookstore during the quarter are purchas- ed from students for below half price and shipped to a wholesale book company. A stu- dent would receive from $2.50 to $3 for a book he originally paid $10 for if he sold it back to the bookstore during the quarter, said Schaffner. During finals week, half of the value is paid to students if the book is going to be used the next quarter. The Ball State Bookstore purchases approximately 35 to 45 T sisent of textbooks will cause most thousand books from students in a year, said Schaffner. In textbooks alone, the Ball State Bookstore takes in the neighborhood of a million dollars a year. But contrary to the common belief among students, the Ball State Bookstore doesn’t make much money on textbooks, said Schaffner. The mark up in textbooks at the Ball State Bookstore is 20 percent. That means if a book cost the bookstore $8, they would sell if for about $10, Schaff- ner said. He explained that out of the $2 profit on every book they sell come all ex- penses including wages for student employees and rent for the building. Two percent is the most profit they make, and Schaffner said they are “lucky to break even.” Many bookstores around the country operate at a loss and are leased out, said Schaffner. If that happened at Ball State, books would be more expensive than they are now. So the dilemma of expensive textbooks goes on, but it’s comforting to know the situation could be worse. And learning to manage one’s book buying is just another part of the financialhassles that students have to face.0 Although this student isn’t actually looking to buy a book, he spent about a half-hour just browsing through the aisles and casually look- ing up some interesting bits of social and political science information. --photo by Kim Ferrill Even after the quarter begins, new textbooks still arrive for the shelves of the bookstore.

Gasping, she tried to ex- plain to a Health Center nurse what had struck her. But as she continued through her list of mysterious symptoms it became clear that the cure would not be easy. The nurse only shook her head. This sad story, though, is not an unusual one. According to a RBNNS survey, (Re- cent But Not Necessarily Scientific) nearly every student has suffered at least once from the dreaded “Toxic Textbook Syn- drome.” Although the first symptoms are rather strange and defy the medical books, they are fairly common around campus. Everywhere that students study--from the Tally to the dorm study lounges--the ill effects are obvious. First the unwary stu- ACADEMICS dent may notice a strange burning sensa- tion around his eyes. Then, even after he puts on a pair of glasses, he may notice a dull ache settling over his entire head. If that isn’t enough to make him put away his copy of American Literature then it won't be too long before the textbook germ spreads. The stomach is usually affected next. Two pages of Natural Resourcesis sure to send even the strongest students scurrying to the nearest vending machine for a Snickers Bar. And there’s something ex- pecially toxic in the pages of history books. “After four years of fighting the syndrome, I finally gave in. I realized it was just im- possible to even open the cover of American History without a Coke and a bag of Fritos,” recalled a plump Social Studies major. “The worse seizure I ever had though,” recalled a patient recovering from the Tox- ic Textbook Syndrome, “was while reading about the mating habits of salamanders. Suddenly I had a horrible craving. I knew that if I didn’t have a Hostess Twinkie within the next 30 seconds, | would just curl up and die.” This terrible textbook disease strikes in other ways too. Just the thought of reading Personal Financecan cause some students to run for the bathroom. But for others the thought of spending an evening over a book brings out the instinctive cries for companionship. Every Thursday Bracken is full of clusters of couples “studying together.” If the syndrome has hit them, it will be hard for them to resist the tempta- tions brought on by the disease. Soon they will be writing notes, whispering between chapters, doodling... and even strolling back to the “classified” section of the ———s One of the strange symptoms of the Toxic Tex- tbook Syndrome is the blurring of vision whenever a student tries to tackle the huge mound of homework piling up. --photo by Kim Ferrill The books may look innocent enough on the shelves of the Bookstore, but once the un- suspecting student gets them home, they take on subversive characteristics.

Although the symptoms may vary great- ly, each known case of Toxic Textbook Syndrome has been linked to the same thing: textbooks. There is something in these innocent looking pages that causes students to behave abnormally. No cure is known. But students who have escaped the fatal grip of the syn- drome have formed a list of possible safeguards. 1. Don’t read any textbooks. Rely on a friend’s notes instead. 2. Find alternative uses for the books already lying around. They make great door stops and pets. 3. Dispose of the least useful ones. Try _ hiding them under the bed or try lending them to a least favorite friend and “forget- ting” to ask for them back. 4.

Most students, that is. There are others who decide to stick around for more and earn a graduate degree. One of those students is John Sakowski, a graduate assistant working toward a degree in Student Personnel Administra- tion in Higher Education. Sakowski receiv- ed his undergraduate degree in psychology at Marquette University. His primary responsibility as a graduate assistant was to work with the Student Center Governing Board in developing new programs. “One of my biggest adjustments was learning to schedule to get everything done i on time,” said Sakowski. “My typical day is getting up at 7:15, spending the morning studying at the library, afternoons working at the Student Center, and then classes at night. There is an absolute minimum of time for relaxation.” And the salary? “Well, it’s certainly not | generous, but Ball State is comparable to | other schools on that point,” Sakowski ex- plained. “The pay could be better,” agrees Kaye Beyond the Degree FOUR YEARS JUST ISN’T ENOUGH Potts, “but it’s not too much of a problem for me because I am able to save money by living at home.” Potts is a graduate assis- tant from Muncie. She earned an undergraduate degree in radio and televi- sion from Ball State two years ago and is now. working on a degree in public rela- tions. Her assistantship is with the office of Conferences and Special Events. “Balancing my time between classes and my assistantship hasn’t been terribly dif- ficult, even though I usually put in more than the required twenty hours at the office each week,” explained Potts. “I’m really enjoying it and I know all of the work is go- ing to be worth it.” Another public relations graduate stu- dent is Nancy Gillette, whose graduate HTT UL sbibbhebheheheLLeLLLLL irr rt TTT ba MITTT I Lusosdunesessenseeonnsosasceitooss ] assistantship involves working as a liaison between the Student Center and Limited Edition, the student-run public relations group. “I have really had to learn to establish my priorities and balance my time between studying and working. That is more difficult than the school work itself,” she explained. Gillette received her undergraduate degree in Elementary Education and Spanish from Wittenburg University in Spr- ingfield, Ohio. She admitted that one of the things she liked best as a graduate assistant was the opportunity to live in Shively Hall and to get to know all of the international students that live there. “The atmosphere there is really great--an educa- tional experience in itself.” 0 As graduate assistant with the Geology Depart- ment, Bob Owens reads a map at the weather station. --photo by Tony DeCristofaro ‘ Photojournalism is one of the most time con- suming sequences in the journalism depart- ment.

Learning by Living PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE IN A DOMESTIC SETTING by Ann Filchak haring chores, fixing meals, S scan a budget, and speaking a foreign language; it’s like living in a dorm or sharing an apartment--almost. Aside from the usual academic ex- periences at Ball State, the foreign language houses and the home manage- ment houses provide a unique opportunity to enact their major in a residential setting. The three foreign language houses: French, Spanish, and German, havea department sponsor. Students usually live in a house for three quarters, although some stay less than that. Eight or nine girls live in each house during a quarter. The foreign language houses give students the opportunity to put their classroom instruction to work and to fur- ther develop their skills. The director of each house is a native speaker of the language. Gloria Gomez has been the director of the Spanish House since Winter quarter 1979-1980. She is a graduate of Ball State and earned her bachelor’s degree at the University of Puerto Rico. “I speak Spanish to the girls all the time. They listen to my pronunciation and learn things about the language they could not in the classroom,” she said. Ruth Winkleheide, director of the Ger- man House, and Christiane Brutillot, director of the French House, said that the fluency level varies from student to stu- dent. According to Brutillot, it would be practically impossible for a student to come into the house without knowing something about the language. Fort Wayne junior Lisa Duemling said, living at the French House increased her vocabulary, and allowed her to pick up lit- tle things about using the language correct- ly. Duemling felt living at the French House was really an asset to her French major. “I hope to eventually travel to Europe in order to really solidify my com- mand of the language,” she said. Her future career plans involve using her bilingual talents in the business world. Two similar types of residential academic programs are the Home Management Houses--Schermer House on Warwick Road and the Moore House on Riverside Avenue. Astel hvo) mse economics education majors are required to spend one quarter in one of the houses, which can accommodate six girls. According to director Nancy Zeigler, 1979 Ball State graduate, the Home Management Houses offer practical ex- perience in managing a houseshold. “It’s sort of like being married,” said Nancy, “you learn to manage your time, pay your bills, operate on a budget, and generally maintain an efficient household.” “The girls get to be really close during the quarter,” she said, “it’s just like being a family.”0 —— | a 4 S ti} SS . 1234 Practical Houses ACADEMICS Students living at the Home Management House not only do all of their own cooking, cleaning, and decorating, but they also discover what it is like to live in a group situation.

The new Solar Research and Education Facility being constructed as part of the architecture addition seems to be saying that the rising sun may not be just the sign of a new day, but the sign of anew source of energy. The solar lab will contain class rooms, a computer room, conference rooms, of- fices, storage, and research labs. While the name of the lab is the Solar Research and Education Facility, power from the sun is not the only type of energy to be studied. Energy from harnessing the wind and the tides of the ocean will also be investigated. The solar facility, scheduled for comple- tion in the Fall of 1982, is the only solar lab in the nation designed specifically for education, according to its future director, Dr. Ronald Cosby. The solar facility will not only house classes on alternate energy sources, but will conduct research and host I: time to find your place in the programs educating youngsters about solar energy. Cosby emphasized that even though the center would be working closely with the Many solar energy displays are built and placed in the Computer Science Building.

Not only is solar energy becoming more prominent on campus, but it is being ap- plied off-campus, as well. Several area houses are being partially, or fully heated by solar energy. “I think we are morally bound to turn to alternate forms of energy,” said Dr. William Middleton, who is currently building his own solar heated home. “It’s not only a matter of economics, but it is a matter of ethics. We’ve got to leave something for our kids, don’t we?” said Middleton. Dr. James Kirkwood spent $10,000 to have his home partially heated by solar energy “I suppose it will eventually pay for itself. I save about fifty’ percent on my - heating bills,” he said. “A lot of solar homes are being built today. Most new homes are at least being designed with good orientation to the sun,” said Kirkwood. ; Even when dusk settles in on campus, one has to wonder if this isn’t the dawn of the use of a new energy source--the sun. The sun shines over the site of the new Ar- chitecture annex. --photo by Larry Prazak — iolncancmies Digging began late in the summer of 1980 for the new Solar Research and Education Facility.

It's every man for himself, and the competition is stiff out in the real world. Students struggle and strive against each other in many different ways. Sometimes it is for grades. Sometimes it is done to sell Ounseaseealata: Sometimes it’s done to beat so- meone else out of admittance to a program or for aeeSPOteinwsa group. Often times, it’s done out of the pure | + } — desire to be the 1 best. “Most of our competition is with grades,” said Nancy Morrison, nursing ma- jor. There are a limited number of spaces available in the clinical nursing program, and admittance to the program is deter- mined by G.P.A., according to Morrison. “We’re at each others throats to even get into the program. Really though, we’re competing against ourselves, so we won't drop out,” she said. The competition can get rough in the business classes too. “With projects, you just want to do the best,” said Theresa Jankowski, marketing major. “Business classes gear you up for competition, because that’s what you are going to be us- ed to later.” Proving to someone else that you are the best at something can often be the dif- ference between an “A” or a “B”. It can mean winning the lead role in the play or first chair in the orchestra. A lot of com- parison can occur. “You watch another person and you compare them to yourself to see how you can do better,” said Joyce [x a dog eat dog world out there.

O’Connor feels it is all a part of human nature. “If you want a part and so- meone else almost has the part, you want it more. You'd love to beat them out,” she said. The competition can often be a matter of setting standards higher than so meone else’s standards. “Everyone is trying to turn out the best they can,” said Harold Davis, architecture major. He feels that tension sometimes exists between people in the ar- chitecture program, but that it comes basically from the long hours they work together. “Things begin to grate on you,” he said. “You begin to learn very quickly to learn to do the best project you can.” “Competition helps you to think more,” said Davis. “I think it’s good. If there’s never any competition, you never try to do any better.”0 At times it is almost dangerous to work on ¢ project in the Architecture Building, for fear that another student will steal your idea and claim it for his own or just “accidentally” bump it over. - -photo by F.

And they also like to party, date and do typical college things like ordering pizzas at 2a.m. The Honors students are average students, but they are also unique because of their classes. Instead of struggling through Biology 100, these students whiz through honors classes like Biology 199. The Honors classes are usually more dif- ficult; however, the classes are smaller and more informal. “Honors College is beneficial because the classes are smaller,” said Lisa Hiser, Indianapolis sophomore. “Therefore, you receive more attention from the ‘profs.’ There is also a closeness of the people. You always have someone in a class that was in a previous class.” Huntington freshman Judy Hoch said she believed that because of the smaller classes there is not much competition. Gwen Riechmann, Cincinnati freshman said, “You are graded on what you can do yourself instead of compared to _ the class, so the competi- tion is within yourself instead of the class. Honors have a little more senority when scheduling classes.” If two freshmen wanted the same class, the student in Honors would pro- bably receive the class. The classes re- quired to graduate from Honors College include Contem- porary Civilization, Honors Symposium in Biology, three courses in the Pp: stereotype them as academ- Honors College A) ACADEMICS The classes required to graduate from Honors College include Contemporary Civilization, Honors Symposium in Biology, three courses in the Humanities sequence, two colloquiums and_ the Honors senior thesis. Because there are so many requirements, many people just can not put in the extra time. Hoch dropped out of Honors college because it took too much time. “I would not receive any credit toward my major; therefore, I would have to go to school an extra year,” she said. For some Honors students, a special en- vironment is desired. Blasting stereos and wild water fights are not common in Botsford and Swinford Halls. Honors students have first choice of these halls. It is not uncommon, though, to find the halls quiet and students studying on a Friday night. Although this may be an ideal en- vironment, some chose not to live in these halls. Lisa Hiser lived in Menk Hall. “I did not want to limit myself to just Honors. Liv- ing in a coed dorm gives me more to do. Also Menk is closer to classes than Botsford.” The Honors College is not a new pro- gram, it has been in existence since 1957. Entrance to the program is strictly volun- tary. An incoming freshman must have at least a 3.25 overall grade point average. A student already enrolled with a grade point average of 3.0 or above is eligible to apply for admission. During the fall quarter of 1980, 868 students were enrolled in the Honors College. Being in the Honors program is not as easy as some may think. Honors students have to work for the grades they receive. Many people believe that the Honors pro- gram is a good reference for future employment.U Two models used by Tom Nemcik for his senior thesis photo exhibition study his final work. -- photo by Kim Ferrill A half-empty Honors College classroom strikes a vivid contrast to crowded general studies lec- ture halls. --photo by Kim Ferrill eterna Smaller-sized Honors College classes allow bet- ter professor-student ratios.

But field trips are not just a vacation, they can provide students with new insights into their field of study. Ronald Warner, whose german students have visited german communities throughout Indiana and Ohio, German restaurants, plays and movies and even gone canoeing, gave his reason for taking students on field trips. “These experiences are motivating to students in further studies. They become aware of the german influence in Indiana.” Indianapolis junior, Elke Schwarze agreed, “I went on the canoe trip. Through that everyone got closer, at the same time they got a chance to speak german. It was really something.” Design and photography classes in the art department often go to Chicago to visit the art museums and design agencies. “It’s a chance for the students to see profes- sionals at work,” said Charles Nivens, associate professor. Students of criminal justice and correc- tions visit the women’s prison and Set: have always looked forward Pendleton Reformatory to get an idea of what these institutions are like according to department chairman, Stephen Brodt. Michelle Early, Fort Wayne senior, had mixed feelings about her visit to the Field Tri ee 124? ACADEMICS women’s prison. “The tour guide showed us what the prison was like and we saw the different programs, but I didn’t feel that it was that informative because we didn’t get to talk with the prisoners themselves and find out how they felt.” Students who enjoy field trips should take Natural Resources 101. This course averages five field trips per quarter. They include a gravel quarry, Prarie Creek Reservoir, a farm, a wood lot and the Muncie Water Treatment Plant. “These field trips show students that people actual- ly do the things that we talk about in class,” said Donald VanMeter, department chair- man. “Sometimes the authorities have newer information and can update things from our textbooks,” he added. Members of the geology depart- ment took a trip to the Ozarks over Thanksgiving break and one to the Smoky Mountains during Spring break. “They went sightseeing, col- lected rock and mineral samples and studied the structure of the mountain ranges,” said associate pro- fessor Adan Samuelson. “Tl went to the Smokies,“ said Phil Bon- neau, Muncie senior. “It was fun and in- structional at the same time. It was not strictly organized but we still collected samples and learned the geology of the ranges.” Field trips give students a chance to see. professionals doing the jobs they'll be do- ing when they graduate. It’s a chance to see if what they are learning will work in the real world. In order to fully explain a concept to his class, it is sometmes easier if they go out of the classroom. This especially became a valuable alternative as the weather got warmer. Dr. Crankshaw points out an example to his students. --photo by Robert Bridges : we : j ' j | ae Sere NE | to_use field instruments, Ecologt a ir lab manuals andtequip git , ae =-photo by Robert Bridges Sere iat i, Practically Employed INTERNSHIPS, PRACTICUMS GIVE STUDENTS EXPERIENCE by Renae Hudson here are some things that just Te be learned from _ textbooks, and not all learning can take place in crowded, stuffy lecture halls. For a student to really know his field of study, it helps if he can get out into it. Although there are moments in a college education that may seem rather “useless,” there are also the classes that offer valuable practical ex- periences for students. Ball State offers many programs for the student interested in practical experiences. Some departments offer them as an option and some of them make practical ex- perience mandatory before the student can graduate. In the Education Department, all students must do participation and student teach before graduating from the Universi- ty. When a student participates, he is in a classroom for an hour a day three days a week. In student teaching, a student could be in the classroom for half a day or a full day for ten weeks. For freshmen who are interested in teaching, there are specific courses design- ed for them to give them a taste of what is to come later on. This gives the student more knowledge of his or her field and to make sure he or she is not making a mistake. Sally White, Colfax senior, said she has greatly benefited by her practical ex- perience in the classroom. She said, “It puts everything you’ve learned in theory into practice, and you get full control of a classroom which will help you later on. Student teaching lets you know what teaching is really like.” “Each person will come out of student teaching with different philosophies,” she said, “find your strengths and weaknesses, and what you need to work on. You can- not actually fathom how it will be until you experience it.” Besides teaching, Ball State has a number of non-classroom experiences to help better its students. Practical Experiences Ad ACADEMICS In the History Department the student can sign up for an internship course in public history where the student can do a variety of things. He may get helpful ex- perience by editing history journals. Dr. William Eidson, History Department chair- man, said there is one experience no one has done and that is to go to Conner Prairie Farm for their internship. Another activity might be to study historic preserva- tion or do on the job training, he said. The Mathematical Science Department also offered a new co-op program dealing with the computer center. The student goes off campus to a business or industry and works with computers, thus gaining new knowledge of what it will be like work- ing with computers. Political Science is another department where the student gains advanced Central High School had many student teachers from Ball State. Kevin Kelly (Center), Wabash senior, teaches advanced woodworking. --photo by Pat Rogers knowledge through working on _ political affairs. A popular program is with the legislative internship. The student works at the state capital and observes what is go- ing on. One of the few departments offering many practical ex- periences is jour- nalism. To graduate a student must have had a practicum or an internship. With a practicum, the stu- dent works on a stu- dent publication and learns how to use newsroom equip- ment. A student may do more than one practicum, also. In an internship, the student goes off cam- pus and works on a publication, either during the summer or a school term. He may get experience in all aspects of jour- nalism, ranging from advertising to news writing to public rela- tions. Most liberal arts departments offer practical experience because they give a student more of a feeling of how it will feel in his or her own career.

Hard, bland walls bounce the sound of quiet whispers around the circled room. It’s cold and quiet like the inside of a tomb. The people file in and take their seats near the edge of the room. They fit themselves into hard, plastic chairs all closely con- nected at the isles. A large glass ball stands in the center of the room. It is surrounded by designs of stars and small technical gears. The lights slowly dim until all that is seen is the Muncie skyline. A gold light glows behind the skyline like the sun as it fades over the horizon. When the sun is gone the room becomes even darker, so dark that you can not even see the person next to you. Then a voice is heard through the darkness. “Welcome to Ball State Planetarium,” he says. The show is about to begin. This particular presentation is for Christmas. It is “The Star of Bethlehem.” Under the management of Dr. Roger Scott, director of Ball State Planetarium and Observatory, the audience will be taken back almost 3000 years to Bethlehem to observe what may have taken place in the sky that Christmas night. There is a new wave of interest in astronomy that is evident on the Ball State campus. Not only are the astronomy classes picking up an interest, but also peo- ple who are genuinely interested are show- ing up for the special presentations more and more. In the fall the planetarium presented “Life Beyond Earth.” The show brought in more than 100 people. Students and city residents filled the room to hear Scott talk about UFO’s and the possibility of life on other planets. In the first three weeks of Winter Quarter the Christmas show was presented. Scott entertained as well as informed the Christmas spirited crowd of the possibility of the star of Bethlehem. At the end of the show Christmas music was played while the crowd watched pictures of Santa Claus and his sleigh flash across the ceiling of the planetarium. The constellations and how they change in winter was the show for Winter Quarter. It was titled “Winter Storms,” and it was scheduled for January 30. In the spring, a show presented about the Voyager spacecraft was the center of attention. Scott had ordered special slides of Saturn and Jupiter taken by the spacecraft to be shown. Scott writes all his own scripts for the shows. He plans what is to be studied and creates the whole slide presentation. He also tapes music to go along with the slides as well as for dramatic effect. The lectures Scott gives during the shows are many times “off the cuff.” He sticks to the old rule of no tape recorders in the planetarium during the shows, because many of his ideas are new and his material is all his own work. Everyone was welcome to come listen to the lectures. The only restriction was that the children under five must be accompanied by a parent. The ad- mission for the shows was free, and Scott hopes to keep it that way. He saw it asa break in the academic side of astronomy and devotes almost all of his time to the shows. “I'll never be a movie producer in Hollywood, but this is as close as I'll come,” Scott said. The shows were for fun and to inform people. Scott said he would think people who do not work in astronomy would find it boring. He said that he is amazed and interested by the number of people that come to the shows. When the room was not being prepared for a presentation it was used by many classes. The planetarium is regularly used by Astronomy 102 classes as well as some general education classes. Ball State’s Planetarium was constructed in 1967 along with the Cooper Science building. The room seats 77 people com- fortably, but has been known to house more than 100. The Muncie skyline en- circles the room with cardboard construc- tions of the campus and_ surrounding buildings. Fifteen to twenty slides are shown at a time during a presentation . Recently, Ball State received a new projection system that allows as many as 80 slides for one show. The planetarium is capable of showing the constellations from any area on earth. It can advance or reverse the stars as far as 3000 years to observe the sky as planets then and now.U At the control panel for the syst@M@er projectors and special effects, Roger Scott works on his newest show. --photo by Tony DeCristofaro The planetarium projector (center of photo) displays the constellations on the dome of the center.

The ability to run the table in a pool game or meditate in the lotus position isn’t a skill that looks good on a resume. Still, courses in yoga, sexuality, and billiards are popular classes, compared to the history research classes and the ad- vanced biology classes. They are the kind of classes that everyone seems to want to take and that fill up very quickly. Classes such as Emergency Health Care 250 or Women and Health 372 become closed soon after class registra- tions are accepted, even when many sections are offered. Gary Rink, Auburn senior, signed up for the yoga class three times before he was S ex and violence are not requirements class. “My class is all except for one junior,” he said. Rink’s yoga class is just one example of classes that are often exclusively up- perclassmen. Denise Gobble, associate professor of and health science, teaches “Women in Health,” a class she believes is “filling a need on campus.” In this class, students discuss rape, wife abuse, and health problems women in and outside the home might encounter. “IT know this is a popular class because over the past few quarters we’ve had to add other sections to meet the need,” she said. Gobble added that so many people wanted to get into the class spring quarter that she had to turn away 115 students. Classes are popular for different reasons. Sometimes, it is the professor who teaches the course, but more often the topic of the course attracts students. Sexuality almost always wins out over Business Law 360. One class where the professors take a more active role than usual to attract students is Sports History, team-taught by Tony Edmonds, professor of history, and Marvin Gray, professor of physical educa- tion. Edmonds said the coverage is exten- sive and includes economics, children in sports and sports heroes. “We have fun in the class,” Edmonds said. He and Gray conduct a debate three times a quarter, going so far that they even call each other names. Edmonds said students “like to hear professors disagree on things.” Many times, these classes are practical, teaching something which can be applied later in life. Emergency health care students learn CPR or cardiopulmonary resuscitation and basic first aid. “It was a practical class,” said Dale Parry, Steubenville, Ohio, senior, about the colloquium in Social and Behaviorial Sciences he took. “You weren’t learning the square root of six, but you were learn- ing about life. That fits into every major and it fits into life.”U A wide variety of gestures, expressions and ex- amples helped make Dr. John Barber one of the more popular professors on campus. The favorite classes weren’t always the easy ones, just the interesting ones. --photo by Jeff Zehr : - .

Strange as it seems, following a car- bohydrate diet from the Human Per- formance Laboratory, a nationally-ranked research institution at Ball State, is Kar- molinski’s small part in helping shape academics to be taught in the future. The Human Performance Laboratory, located beside the Field and Sports Building, offers both masters’ and doc- torate two-year degrees through the Physical Education and Biology depart- ments. David Costill, Ph.D., lab director, instructs the research program, which in- cludes basic and applied research. Conducting dietary studies and food preparation research is just one part of the laboratory. “They gave us food and prepared it,” said Steve Luber, who is working on his second master’s degree at the lab and doubles as director of Howick Hall. “The carbohydrate diet includes 3300 calories per day. In fact, we had to eat 15 slices of French toast every day.” Karmolinski said, “I liked taking the ingredients for French toast and.eating them separately, even when I had to eat raw eggs and drink the maple syrup by itself.” One other participant in the diet program, Rick Sharp, said he had to be careful in dipping the bread in the batter to save enough for all 15 pieces! Sharp came to Ball State two years ago with a background in physical education. He wanted to strengthen his masters’ degree. “They started the program so I thought I'd stay. Being a former swimmer in high school, I wanted to contribute something to others in the field since | didn’t with my body,” he said. Basic research at the lab includes exer- cise and research prescription programs. Each individual is tested before beginning, and based on the test results, they are directed into a 10-week individualized pro- gram. General tests are measurement of body fat percentage and composition, blood constituents, cholesterol level and triglyceride content. Two specialized tests are the aerobic capacity test to determine the amount of oxygen needed by the body during exercise and the electrocardiogram (EKG) to determine the pattern of electrical waves caused by heart action. Tests were administered to Karmolinski along with other runners for his measurements. He compares running on the treadmill and being attached to measuring equipment as “running with a trashbag in my mouth.” A _ tube mouthpiece connected to an air bag measured the volume of gas inhaled and exhaled to determine oxygen and carbon dioxide content in the runner while he en- dured the treadmill run. An example of the perfect running body- -Bill Rodgers--was tested by Costill at the lab in 1980. A world-class marathoner, Rodgers is 5’81 2”, weighs 128 pounds and has seven percent body fat. His maximum oxygen uptake was 78 milliliters per kilogram bodyweight per minute. Costill is co-editor with Hal Hidgon for “The Runner” magazine, the December issue of which had a cover story on “The Perfect Running Body.” “We can learn something about the ideal running body from statistics and measurements of those who run fast,” Costill said. An average group of good college run- ners tested at the Human Performance Lab has a heart volume of 988 millilters. The heart volume of an untrained person would probably be 800 milliliters. In another recent article, Costill and Higdon commented on the lab’s research of fat metabolism. “We had perfected the rather complex techniques for measuring this phenomenon, and it is possible to train bodies to metabolize fat more efficient- The applied level of research answers the ques- tions about limitations on per- formance. For instance, run- ners are tested in the lab to determine what factors limit how fast and how long the runner can run, and also how much heat dehydration can be withstood. “I’ve been running 50 miles a week without affecting me too much; running heavy now prepares me for the big race,” Luber said. continued Dr. David Costill, Director of the Human Performance Lab draws a blood sample from a test patient. --photo by F. A. Phillips, Jr. Guinea Pigs In addition to spending their time testing students, runners and athletes, the workers at the Performance Lab and director David Costill have also become semi-famous. Since the lab’s existance, it has been the topic of numerous magazine and newspaper articles. Costill even got a taste of stardom when Nova and 20 20 both did program segments concerning the research done by the lab. Eventually all the hours of research, though, will be put to a practical use. In the future, students may study about the fin- dings discovered by Costill. Already the principles of the the lab are being put to practical use. Although many students on campus are not even sure where the Physical Performance is, the members of the Ball State swim are especially familiar with all the equipment, gadgets and instruments of the lab. To them it’s another place to work on their performance, strength and endurance. Finding the scientific answers to swimm- ing is the goal when the lab tests the men’s swimming squad of Coach Bob Thomas. Working with Sharp, Thomas began a strength-testing program in 1979; however, results won’t be evidenced until next season. “Generally, the guys like it; we need to give them a little more feedback on how well they’re doing, but they like the atten- tion. I’m glad the coach is willing to work with them, because they don’t think we’ll turn them into robots or anything,” Sharp said. First, the team is tested on dry land for upper body strength. Then in the water, a belt is fastened to the waist and attached to a pully with a bucket of weights. An elec- trical signal shows which movements are necessary and which are not by the amount of propulsive force. “Usually when we ask the swimmers to give their maximal effort, we usually never aet it. We believe in going hard.

Phillips, Jr. our tests: Dennis Kruse, an amazing swim- mer,” Sharp said. “He swam a better time during one of the test when he was at a disad- vantage than his best time in a meet. It’s kind of nice to have kids like that who are motivated.” Another specialized service the lab does for the swim team is test muscle acidity levels. This determines the cause of burning tightness and fatigue in short-term ex- ercise. In addition to the specializ- ed areas, the Human Per- formance Laboratory works with basics such as muscle regeneration, affects of nutri- tion and exercise on aging, genetic and circulatory in- fluences and human disease processes. “The lab needs certain types of people also depen- ding on each _ particular study,” Luber said. “They ask for controls, but they are selective; they choose those who are able to produce and be dedicated. They have very much con- cern for their participants because they know they are the people giving them the answers to their study.” Sharp said the university encourages the lab because it’s good public relations. “But if a program is going to do a lot of research, it will have to go to the outside for fun- ding.” “If there is one main goal of the Human Performance Lab, it would probably be for athletes, coaches, and scientists to be working together each contributing to the end product,” Luber said.0 up for Performance Lab 1) AD ACADEMICS Concentrating on adjusting the oxygen analyzer is Mitch Whaley.

W Two quizzes tomor- row, a paper due Mon- day, two art projects due soon and tests are creeping up. You cringe at the thought of all this. Everyone is going home this weekend, and someone is screaming down the hall about the parties on Dill Street, Calvert Street, Greenbriar Apartments and in Clevenger Hall. You should do your homework, but you're sick of studying, depressed about your grades and anticipating spring. What do you do? You go to the party with your friends and either suffer the consequences later or cheat! People do occa- sionally cheat and sometimes in weird ways. One sophomore girl from South Bend said, “My room- mate wrote a paper for a secretarial class, and they keep them on file. Another girl check- ed it out and copied it verbatim. They could have both been kicked out of school and denied their diplomas.” Associate Dean of Students, Kenneth Collier, expressed that the faculty is not naive. He said that many professors pass out old tests so students will understand the new tests. With paper writing, Collier stated, “More of it is plagiarism than out-right cheating.” He explained that with freshmen and sophomores the lack of knowledge or understanding in footnoting summaries or quotes causes plagiarism. Professors will probably recognize a _ word-for-word passage from a book or periodical because a difference in the writing style from the student’s previous writings will be evident. “My fiance has a business class where a Cheati — ‘cae group paper of 25 pages was to be writ- ten,” stated a Nappanee senior. “One girl didn’t have time to help and offered to pay $20 to the group to put her name on it. They said no.” One Fort Wayne junior stated, “I’ve observed several students cheating in large classes because the ‘prof’ can’t watch everyone at the same time; but generally, cheating doesn’t occur in small classes.” Different ways exist to cheat. One freshman from Fort Wayne stated that he had seen people “with notes in their shoe or a piece of string on their belt which goes up their shirt and down their arm with their notes. When the ‘prof’ comes by they just stretch their arm and the notes are gone.” “You sit by the chalk board, put the notes on the chalk tray, and cover them with the eraser until you need them,” said a Seymour freshman, “I’ve not used this method. I’ve used the one where you tape the notes to the back of your calculator.” One girl, a _ Plainfield freshman, stated that “asking questions of how to do it out loud when the prof is there, switching papers during the test and putting the paper in the sec- tion between two desks and co- pying” are techniques used in her class. “I know of one girl who has gotten old tests, and a group of people get together and study to see what’s on the test.” People have different mean- ings of cheating, also. One Broad Ripple senior stated, “When you haven't studied and you have crib-notes--that’s cheating. But when you help each other--that’s not cheating. It’s acommunity project.” Whatever your meaning of cheating, however, action can be taken. Usually, the faculty member encourages the student to withdraw, to take another test, to receive an “F” grade, or to go before the Review Board. When there are several formulas to memorize, some math students insured good test scores by taping the information to their calculators. -- photo by Robert Bridges The bottom-of-the-shoe cheating technique is a common way to guarantee a good grade. -- photo by Robert Bridges | ing rs) vo i 1S) “a i¢p) O = Lu Q O In Search of a Nobel Prize OUT OF SCIENCE LABORATORIES COMES RESEARCH ON INSECTS by Dona Johnson coveries and modern progress, some- students are actually making the discoveries themselves. They work in labs dealing with animals not quite as freakish as those in Dr. Frankenstein or Dr. Jekyll, but they are just as capable of making your skin crawl. Within the depths of the Cooper Science Building, there are 150 corn borers waiting to be tested. They are bred and sustained there for research experiments for the Biology Department. Harold Zimmack, biology professor, conducts these corn borer experiments in search of a fast screening technique. He is trying to find a virus or bacteria that is harmful to the insect without being harmful or dangerous to humans. This type of research began when the hazards of DDT were discovered. “We’re looking for something that we can spray on the crops to control the corn borer,” Zimmack said. Insects eat as muc h as one-third of the corn grown in Indiana every year. Zimmack has devoted many years to this research. The fast screening technique Zimmack referred to is the application of different viruses to the insects hoping to change their health or heart beat. This kind of research allows results to be found much faster than the previously used techniques. Speaking of the methods used by many other scientists, Zimmack said, “We’ve been spinning our wheels for fifty years.

Hands at T tspentiters and video dis- play terminals pass quickly over the lettered and numbered keys, transforming unorganized thoughts into organized stories. Minutes turn into half-hours and hours as photographers get assignments, load film, and leave the West Quadrangle in search of an eye-catching shot that will please the editor. Time continues to escape as photographers, carrying film cassettes, return to the ever-familiar darkrooms to develop and print their pictures. Stomach knots and tension headaches become familiar to all editors as they battle with writers and photographers to turn in assignments. These symptoms become especially apparent as deadlines become closer. Pam Records, editor of the Orient said, “Around deadline time I feel like a rubber band that has been stretched to the limit and almost to the breaking point.” “But after we meet our deadline, everything returns to normal, and I can relax again at least until our next deadline, which is usually within the next month or month and a half,” said Records. Another publication that has to deal with long-range deadlines is Verbatim, the cam- pus magazine which is published quarterly. Editor of Verbatim, Flava Galbreath, who has also worked for the Daily News, said, “Switching from newspaper to magazine was a big adjustment for me. This year we have worked on formalizing deadlines to allow time to edit copy, typset, and other functions to produce a magazine, and yet not drag it out since there is so long bet- ween deadlines.” Unlike the Orientand the Verbatim, the Daily News is faced with daily deadlines that must be met to produce a newspaper. To help speed up it’s production and modernize it’s system, the Daily Newspur- chased about $250 thousand in new com- puterized equipment.

Public Relations majors spend their time on the student-run Limited Edition. They look for clients both on the campus and in the community or state, and promote that company by distributing surveys, giving presentations and suggesting im- provements. Whether it is reading a story in the Daily News, Verbatim, or Orient or looking at pictures printed in each, students on cam- pus depend upon publications for informa- tion and entertainment.U As Verbatim editor, Flava Galbreath contacts staff of writers. --photo by Tony DeCristofaro PP i thy : es : Mei TEACEEETORPET ETO priv aa8y Maar rrr eee r4,, . ee ae ii a Typesetting the Daily News Brameier uses a new video disp photo by Tony DeCristofaro Publications rcs tt} General filing is a part of the efficient organiza- tion of the Better Business Bureau. --photo by Kim Ferrill Ball State has the only student-run Better Business Bureau in the nation.

The BSU BBB is a student-run Better Business Bureau that is located in the Whitinger College of Business, but ac- cording to William Moser, faculty adviser, “it serves all of Muncie and Delaware county.” The Better Business Bureau system was born out of various Vigilance and Advertis- ing clubs in the early 1910’s, and now has offices throughout the United States. The BSU BBB was begun in 1974 when Moser was teaching his first term Marketing and Consumer Issues class. The bureau has gone through many changes since then, and now answers more than thirty calls a day, from general inquires about businesses to serious complaints about landlords. The Bureau won’t advise whether to purchase or not to purchase, though, leav- ing the decision to the consumer. “Sometimes we have a caller inquire about a business that has a questionable record,” Moser related to his Marketing 300 class. “We read them a report that says the business has not resolved complaints in the past, but the caller still asks ‘should I buy?’ You have to read the report verbatim, though. We cannot attempt to give advice on buying or in legal matters.” “The most calls we get are inquiries,” said Moser. “There is a series of codes assigned to each business we have a record of. Each code has a report associated with it, and we must read that report exactly as written. No additional comments, or per- sonal experiences may be added to that report.” If a customer does have a complaint, the BSU BBB won’t try to resolve it, unless the customer has tried unsuccessfully on his own to contact the company and reach an agreement. Moser added. “Sometimes the caller doesn’t even tell the business that they are dissatisfied. Many times the business will absolve the problem im- mediately. In these cases the BBB is not needed at all. We tell them to contact the business first.” The BSU BBB maintains close contact with it’s parent office, the Central Indiana Better Business Bureau, in Indianapolis, as well as with all bureaus in the system. If a person has a question about a company in California, the BSU BBB can get that in- formation very quickly by calling the bureau in that area, or by sending out a ‘Speedletter.’ The BSU BBB is a novelty in the Better Business System. According to the BSU BBB handbook, “the Ball State Bet- ter Business Bureau is the only student-run BBB in the world.” Even though it is student-run, the quality of the bureau does not suffer. Even though there are new workers from the Marketing 300 class every quarter, each one is com- pletely qualified to answer questions. There is a rigid series of tests each student must pass in the class in order to work there. The Ball State Better Business Bureau’s goal is best summed up by the words on the logo. “BSU BBB, Aid, Education, In- formation.” Current files of complaints, inquires and ques- tions are kept up to date by Better Business Bureau employees. --photo by Kim Ferrill mf Business Bureau ACADEMICS ; = Molly Wantz, an instructor’of Health: Science, ‘teaches ‘young children as .well’.as college students} Here she assists some kindergarteners witha p ject using their we senses.

The freshmen stare in amazement as the lines stretch before them. The upperclassmen just sigh and step into line, knowing there’s no other way around it. Standing for what seems like hours in lines only to be handed a form to fill out and pointed in the direction of another line can be maddening. As one student put it, “You can’t make a move around here without filling out a thousand forms!” It may appear that way to students, but for the majority of people who work in the Administration Building, those mountains of paperwork represent efficient opera- tions. It’s hard to imagine being beseiged by people and paperwork every day. But ac- cording to a great majority of those involv- ed with sorting out all that paperwork, the trouble is worth it. “I don’t see how the University could maintain the level of efficiency that it does without the procedural guidelines and paperwork,” said one assistant in the Financial Aids Office. Her thoughts were echoed over and over again throughout the AD building.

Sometimes they got to be good friends. Sometines they didn’t even see each other very often. Rome City sophomore, Ray Freeman said, “We do a lot of things together on the weekends because we’re too busy during the week. That’s why I think we get along so well. I think guys get along better than girls do because girls are so picky about things. When guys get mad, they just punch it out; girls argue about it for a week saying. ‘I'm so mad at my roommate.” and my: Joyce McGinty, South Bend sophomore, added that “It depends.

Girls seemed to develop closer friend- ships and ability to talk to each other than guys. They can talk seriously about pro- blems with their roommates who have become close friends also, rather than keeping it to themselves. “We got along real well because we were from the same home town,” explained Jeri Meditch. “We talked things out and knew about the people the problems were about,” continued the Syracuse freshmen.

One of the compensations is the myriad of activities that are planned for the benefit of the residents. Botsford Hall offered a wide variety of activities this year. They included a Christmas coffeehouse, a blood draw, a square dance and a finance week with speakers on money management. The hall also won the RHA “Be Kind to Your Residence Hall” competition by refurbishing their lounge furniture and painting their laundry rooms. “The girls really got together and worked hard on that,” said Botsford President Ruth Fulton. “Our residents are open to different ac- tivities. We try to appeal to their diversified interests so that at least some of the ac- tivities will interest all of them,” she said. Marsha Johnson, Wood Hall presid ent said that her hall concentrated on two main activities this year. They held a Christmas party for the multi-culture center kids who come from low-income families and they stages a little Kim Weekend. “Our residents are really active on cam- pus so those two things are what we set el S ; ae Study lounges are used for snacking, snoozing, socializing and, occasionally, studying. --photo by Sue Wilden aside to really work on this year.” Shales’ most successful activity this year was buying weights and painting their weight room. They also bought new pool tables and sold hotdogs during Monday night football. The key to a successful activity is par- ticipation according to Shales President Larry Dewitt. “We try to choose something that everyone can get involved in.” “Residents are very active in inter-hall sports activities,” said Kelly Kern, Shales senior. Lounge games such as Family Feud and the Roommate Game are really popular with Hurlbut Hall residents because “a lot of people can participate,” explained Tyler Wiltrout, hall president. This year Hurlbut had coffeehouses each quarter and picnics in the spring and fall. They also painted a mural of Pink Floyd’s “Just Another Brick in the Wall” in the hall which residents seemed to enjoy. Ideas for Hurlbut activities come from hall council programming meetings which are open to the residents. Wiltrout feels the activites in his hall are very successful because, “We are like one big, happy family. The residents are all like brothers and sisters to each other.” Good planning and lots of publicity make Baker activities successful said Presi- dent Julie Oberlies. Baker has been Hall of the Month four times time year. Oberlies felt that high-point of the year was the hall opening. The theme was the Barnum and Baker Circus and hall decora- tions as well as residents’ costumes con- veyed the atmosphere of the big top. Big Brother-Little Brother, Big Sister- Little Sister activities were planned for residents this year. Baker women also en- joyed Parent’s Weekend, Little Kin Weekend and a studying marathon at the end of winter quarter. These activities are inspired during brainstorming sessions at the beginning of every month. “People appreciate the little projects hall council plans; they are spirit boosters,” said freshman Kim Beasley. Hall activities can be educational, enter- taining or moneymaking. They are plann- ed by each hall’s council to give residents a break from the everyday hassles of campus life. Residents who participate benefit. They go back to their mountains of homework with a clearer head, a new bit of imformation and sometimes even a fuller stomach. Getting off to a great start in the bed race is a group of women representing their hall. -- photo by Larry Prazak Ni Hall Activities Organizations | Halls use money for everything from radio sta- tions and discos to cook outs and trips to Kings Island.

Some halls even have tents and tandem bicycles. --photo by Julie Wark = } i j | | | i Dishing Out the Dollars by Pam Hicks hether the hall’s planning a W eens dance, buying a pool table, or paying an entry fee, it all requires dollars. Some of these dollars are raised through money-raising project, but most of the money available to hall coun- cils comes from the resident’s themselves. Each quarter, every hall is given an allot- ment to spend however they see fit to benefit the hall. The allotment money comes from the student’s themselves in the way of fees. According to Tichenor Hall Director Jan Olsen, the amount of the allotment equals $3 per student living in the hall per quarter. Brayton Hall Director Nancy Napier said, the total hall allotment per quarter varies from one quarter to another depen- ding on the number of residents. For ex- ample, Demotte Hall received approx- imately $344 per quarter while Howick Hall received approximately $687 per quarter. Hall Money 176 Organizations To supplement the allotment, some halls add money received from vacuum cleaner rental and pool table use. Howick Hall President Dirk Cushing said his motto concerning the allotment is “if we got it, spend it.”” Howick’s major expen- diture this year was $125 for a sand volleyball court. They also spent money for skating parties, dances, a hayride and a canoe trip. Besides spending their money for hall activities, Cushing said Howick uses its allotment to sponsor teams for Bike-A- Thon and Greek Week, to buy hall awards for tournaments and to make donations, such as $25 they gave to Muscular Dystrophy Week. Allotment and income money must also be used to repair or replace equipment previously purchased by the hall. Howick recovered their pool table this year. Demotte Hall Treasurer Brenda Croft had a smaller allotment to work with. She said she thought the amount of Demotte’s allotment was a little low since their hall had no other income. The majority of Demotte’s allotment was spent for hall par- ties, various entry fees, films and to spon- sor intramural teams. Botsford Hall Treasurer Donna Schultz said she thought the amount of Botsford’s allotment was sufficient. Schultz said they plan to spend “around $300 to purchase an Atari game which could be used to make money to eventually buy a new TV.” Botsford uses its allotment for magazine and newspaper subscriptions, hall ac- tivities, coffee houses and for Little Kin, Parents and Best Friend Weekends. Without such allotments, whether large or small, many residents would not have the opportunity to participate in events such as Watermelon Bust or Tug-O-War. Entry fees range in price from $5 to $25 and without allotments, students would have to pay the money themselves.U ‘ ‘ aed te é paivilie ats me 3345 a = aoe: th vets HOWICK HALL.

According to many students much of the hall damage was done after-hours by residents of the hall. “Most of the damage is done by immature people living in the hall,” said Diane Stuckey, an Indianapolis sophomore who resided in Burkhart Hall. She said the most common damage in the hall seemed to be broken lights and missing lightbulbs. During fall quarter each Burkhart resident had to pay $8.24 to cover the costs of such van- dalism. Stuckey said hall damages were a big pro- blem in her hall because of her hall’s reputa- tion as “the zoo.” “Because of the hall’s reputation, people think it’s a place to get rowdy and get away with it,” she said. She also added that some of the damage was due to the acts of drunk residents. Although residents of some halls viewed hall damage as a major problem, there were some residents who felt hall damage in their hall was a minor problem. Jeanne Hess, In- dianapolis sophomore who lived in Painter Hall, said her hall ’s major problem was not hall damage, but was drinking, guys in rooms after hours and apathy. Hess said, “Painter is really a good hall. All the residents seem to be considerate of all the other residents. I think the at- mosphere in the hall makes the residents want to take care of it.” “The night staff should patrol the floors of the hall rather than just sit in the lounge,” said Hess about solutions as to how to lessen the amount of hall damage done. Making the student who did the damage fix what he breaks and posting a list of who did what and the cost were some of the other solutions suggested by Hess to lessen the amount of hall damage. Students who lived in residence halls had to pay for hall damages, but some students did not know where the money they paid went. According to James Jacquette, direc- tor of campus residence facilities and hous- ing, the money the students pay for hall damages comes in as revenue to the Univer- sity. The money is then figured in to the budget of each complex. Jacquette also stated that before students are charged the decision as to whether the damage is actual damage or normal wear and tear of the hall has to be made. Students are not charged if the damage is the result of normal wear of the hall. Although hall damage has solutions, most students agreed the amount of hall damage could be greatly decreased but not entirely eliminated. “As long as there is something for students to destroy, hall damage will ex- ist,” said Hess.0 Broken door glass plagued Shales Hall among other halls and added to the amount of damages paid by residents. --photo by Sue Wilden Restrooms are a favorite prey for vandals who ripped a stall from its hinges in Clevenger Hall. --photo by F.

Up to Their Old Tricks Again by Mary Beth Maexner onnie’s nightgown went flying out ( the window. As three of her clo- sest friends were up to their stunts again, Connie stood by watching helpless- ly. “You guys stop that,” she screamed as they threw her intimate apparrell out the window. In the meantime, Connie’s pillow was also on its way out the dorm window. Connie’s pale body was rising in temperature, like a thermometer ready to explode from heat. This prank really got to her, and she actually put her foot down for the first time. Although they were too busy laughing to care, she made the pranksters go outside and get her stuff. It took Connie awhile to cool down this time, but she final- ly did. Her last exclamation was “Would you guys stop picking on me all the time!” Will it ever stop? Probably not. Hall rowdiness will remain as long as people continue to get in crazy moods and can think of new pranks all the time. Chuck Godby, Sheraton senior, was a staff who didn’t like it when the rowdiness turned into destructiveness. He stated, “I think personally that it’s too bad that peo- ple are considered mature adults just because they go to college. Because then they pull this stuff.” Sue Mileff, Fort Wayne junior, also thought that it should be fun and not destructive. She said, “Rowdiness is an art. And some believe that only the immature are rowdy, but I believe that to enjoy life, one must be rowdy--and say to hell with maturity.” Throughout Ball State, there have been many rowdy stunts played on people. “One time they tied me up when I was in my robe and took me down in the elevator. They shut the door and let me think they were going to leave me at the elevator to Woody-Shales. They opened it right away though after they scared me enough,” stated Beth Brooks, Indianapolis sophomore. Sh e continued, “I felt like a hostage. It was fun, though, in the end.” Ken Carpenter, Morris Hill sophomore, worked with is roommate on pranks. “Sometimes we'll get buckets of water, and we'll take them up to 5th floor (a girl’s floor) to some unsuspecting person and dump the whole bucket of water under the door. If they don’t wake up, because it’s usually after hours when we do it, then we dump three or four more under it,” he said. Nancy Jones, Wabash || sophomore, stated, “Once at 2 a.m. a friend and | decided to pull a prank on her sleeping roommate. We told her the elecricity went off and that it was 7:30 in the morning and that she had to get up for her 8 o'clock. She proceeded to get her things for the shower until she decided to question us. We turned on all the showers, so she would think others were up. When she ckecked it out, no one was there. Boy was she angry because it was 2:30 in the morn- ing when we did it.” “Last night I got handcuffed to another guy on the floor, and he wouldn’t give me the key,” stated Jeff Havlick, Seymour freshman. “So 1 went in the room and shut the door, on the handcuffs, but | was going to get my hacksaw, so he unlocked them,” he said. Rowdiness can be crazy or calm. Larry DeWitt, Austin sophomore stated that “staying up until 2 a.m. talking, telling stories and keeping the hall up was also func Rowdiness continued at Ball State last year and will always continue.

Many types of situations are en- countered, and student staffers must re- main calm and in control. “Last year I came across someone with a knife in her hands rocking back and forth on the bed,” said Wendy Arner, Highland junior. “This year we found a guy downstairs on PCP, and he went crazy. I had to call the director who called the campus police. It’s just a job in staffing.” said Arner. Student staffing can be rewarding in many ways. The opportunity to meet new people and enjoy new experiences often outweighs the sometimes mind-boggling decision-making that is required. Connie Alexander, Zionsville junior, commented on the opportunity to meet new people. “I like getting to know the residents and associating with residents.” Student staffing also offers individuals an opportunity to strive for self-growth in Hall Staffs {8 korgancanons areas such as developing communication skills, making decisions, assuming respon- sibilities and responding to emergencies. This can be a challenge to individuals who wish to employ leadership-like qualities to future careers. On-the-job experience can also be acquired by student staffing. Qualification for becoming a student staff mostly requires the ability to work well with people. Five quarters of school are required plus an accumulative grade point average of 2.2 or above; this must be main- tained throughout employment. A. will- ingness to live by and support the policies and philosophy of Ball State University is also a requirement. Responsibilities of the job range from working the hall desk to pouring out alcoholic beverages that students may wander into the hallways with. Alexander says she has had to pour out drinks many times. “I didn’t like doing it, but I knew it was my job. Most of the time people understand.” Eric Schrieber, Laporte junior, commented on the understanding of students when their drinks are being dumped into the sink. He says there is a difference between residents and non- residents. “Most people cooperate. Most of those who don’t are from off campus.” Other responsibilities of the job are sometimes hidden and overlooked. Small jobs like Thelma Miller loans and staff meetings on short notice are just a few that student staffers overlook when applying. “1 don’t like it when people get locked out of their room. I spend half my day unlocking doors,” says Alexander, “but when we take the job we know what we’re getting in- toy Each staff works the hall desk six hours a week and must be on duty once every seven nights. This gives them the op- portunity to meet residents in the hall and to act as resource people for students with questions concerning the hall and its ac- tivities. Student staffers are also required to take student staff classes and to attend meetings with the hall director. Working in close cooperation with the director is important in student and administrative relationsnips. Student staffers accept the respon- sibilities of maintaining Ball State standards when they take the job of student staff. Schreiber sums up the job when he says “Sure it gets old, but everything gets old after awhile.”0 BRAYTON HALL.

For some, coffee houses are a chance to show abilities others only dream of. For others, coffee houses are just a small stepping stone to the dream of stardom. For most students, however, coffee houses are an escape from the night-marish tension of textbooks and teachers. “I just go to cofee houses for the enter- tainment,” said Jane Lyon, Greenfield sophomore. “Even if someone is not that good, when _ they have the courage to get up in front of everybody--more power to them. “A coffee house gives you a chance to check out the new talent on campus.

Miller, a singer and guitar player, is a veteran of more than twenty coffee houses. “I try to publicize myself through coffee houses just in case I ever get good enough to make a career of performing. If that is ever possible, that would be great, but I get a lot of self-satisfaction through coffee houses,” said Miller. “Sometimes I’ll be walking around cam- pus and a stranger will say I played well at a coffee house the night before.

SE No Place Like a Hall by Terri Gleich a4 n Campus Fun in ‘81” was the O) iene of RHA’s annual On Campus Days this year. January 18 through January 22 residents participated in a variety of activities in- cluding a musical chairs tournament, Splish-Splash and a coffee house. “Be Kind to Your Residence Hall Day” kicked off the week of events. The purpose was to get residents involved in a project to better their hall. Botsford won the competi- tion by mending and cleaning their lounge chairs and painting their laundry rooms. A new event this year was the Musical Chairs Tournament. The seven teams par- ticipating brought their own chairs specially decorated for the event. Rogers Hall’s chair, adorned with musical notes, won for the best decorated chair. Tichenor edged out Crosley to win the musical chairs con- test. Part of on-campus fun included learn- ing. Many halls scheduled educational pro- grams for their residents during this week. The topics ranged from deaf signing to drug abuse to Student Voluntary Services programs. Botsford invited beauticians from Ayres to demonstrate hair cuts. The hair stylists gave free cuts to three Botsford residents and gave tips on blow drying, conditioning and choosing hair care products. Mark Krouse of The Outdoor Store talk- ed to Baker and Williams residents about cross country skiing as well as snowing them how to dress correctly for outdoor winter sports. Swinford sponsored an open forum with Tom Osborn. The director of traffic and safety fielded questions about paving the lots near Johnson, the rise in vandalism and the qualifications of campus policemen. The action moved to University Pool Wednesday night as residents took to the water in Splish-Splash. Swimmers and non-swimmers alike participated in the basketball relay, obstacle medley and the ping pong ball hunt. Klipple won top honors in the women’s division and Howick | in the men’s. The highpoint of the 1981 On Campus Days was a coffeehouse showcasing the talents of residents. The Shady Grove String Band opened the show with a half hour of bluegrass melodies, which they called “bona fide music.” Their best numbers were “Fox on the Run” and Rocky Top.” Among the student acts, Williams junior Doug Jones stole the show. Jones’ three mime sketches kept the audience laughing. He dressed up, nearly strangling himself with his own tie. Then he held onto a rope through a tug-o-war match, up a ladder and all around the stage. “Earth, Wind and Doug” spoofed an inept entertainer tripp- ing over the cord of his microphone as he sang. Singers from all over campus performed popular music. Swinford freshmen, Tim Connor and Tom Kuhn sang an original tune poking fun at Ball State life. Since ar- riving on campus they had suffered “Ad- ministration Building blues,” “never walk alone on the cowpath blues” and “G.D.I. standing outside on Riverside Avenue blues.” On Campus Days gave students a chance to celebrate a unique aspect of the college experience: residence hall living. While most Snow Queen contestants showed bare arms and legs during the cool contest, others opted for more enclosure and less exposure. --photo by F. A.

Cheers were heard from all around the track as the 21 teams prepared for the Sigma Switch. Not only was the crowd not hampered by the rain, but the cold, whistling wind only discouraged a few from attending. The eighth annual Sigma _ Switch, sponsored by Sigma Sigma Sigma Sorority and Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity, was held October 4, 1980. As the teams lined up along the track at the Delaware County Fairgrounds, the fans began to fill the old, rusty bleachers. The fans filed in wrapped up in blankets, heavy coats, gloves and anything they could find to keep warm. The race began with the rain falling and the wind blowing at the bikers’ backs. The field was compiled of women from sororities, fraternity little sisters, and residence halls. The teams began the race by completing practice laps as fans cheered, and coaches figured out last minute strategies. The tricycle race, which is run by men in fraternities and residence halls, preceeded the bikers. The twelve teams ran in heats trying to qualify for a spot in the ultimate, final heat. Sigma Nu Fraternity, who had sponsored the event the previous year, was awarded the first place trophy. Finishing behind Sigma Nu was Delta Tau Delta and Beta Theta Pi Fraternities. The bike race run by the women then began. The race was a test of strength, en- durance, and strategic bicycle racing. The team that came out on top was the one which had everything working together for it like a well-oiled machine. The superior team for 1980 was Alpha Chi Omega Sorority, who came in ahead of the residence hall team the Windjammers. As the day ended, the hours of practice that were put in by the bikers was now forgotten as teams began to ready for the next year. The cold rain could not dampen the spirits of any of the competitors. Competitors resting between riding shifts spent almost as much energy cheering teammates. --photo by Robert Bridges Peddling, pumping and puffing were the order of the day as bikers searched for the finish line. --photo by Robert Bridges Strategy and teamwork are considered essentials for a successful Sigma Switch.

Life at Ball State wouldn’t be life at Ball State if it didn’t have hassles. While most people were doing their best to get moved in for the year, the Sigma Nu’s were not as lucky. Housing and city zoning codes com- plicated life for the Sigma Nu’s this year. A zon ing ordinance prohibited them from moving into their newly-purchased house on the corner of Beechwood and Pauline. Fraternity houses must be located in a student social service zone. Their house complied, however, other red tape concer- ning the house complicated their moving in. The house was not 75 feet from the street, it was not located on at least one acre of land, and it did not have ample parking for the number of people who would live there. The zoning code stated one off-street parking space for every three active members must be provided. Therefore, while most students were busy hanging posters, decorating rooms a nd attending various celebrations of the new school year, the Sigma Nu’s had the The hassles of moving in and moving out at the Sigma Nu’s. --photo by F.

Pledging y Od Organizations The Price of Pledging by Susan Taylor hat is worth five months of car- Weis a pledgebook, cleaning a fraternity house, lighting active brother’s cigarettes, and a week of “help?” “The moment you go active,” sid Mark Martin, Logansport freshman. According to Martin, Delta Chi pledge class president, pledging a fraternity is definately a worthwhile learning ex- perience and a good investment socially. “Pledgeship is very time consuming, but well worth it,” said Mark Edwards, Fort Wayne junior and member of Sigma Nu fraternity. “We have to complete five pro- jects before we can go active. This benefits the community, as well as establishes unity among our brothers.” Alan Selking, Fort Wayne freshman, and treasurer of his Delta Tau Delta pledge class, feels pledging has helped him become involved on campus. “Socially, | am always around people. There is always - y something to do like Bike-A-Thon, Spring Sing, and other campus activities. You can always go down to the house and do something with brothers, too,” he said. The cost of joining a fraternity is expen- sive, approximately $300 the first year. “It seems like a lot of money to invest,” Selk- ing added. “I guess I will just wait and see if the friendships I developed are lasting.” Martin feels pledgeship is hard work, but the encouragement from the brothers makes you want to continue working. “I can really trust my brothers, and could de- pend on them whenever | need anything.” The requirements of pledgeship en- courage you to better yourself, Edwards believes. “We have study tables for four hours a week, and line-ups teach us how important it is to be dependable, respect one another, and work together as a unit. From experiencing this, | know I can count on my brothers.” Line-ups are when the pledges must all be together, and answer questions. “It is a time when the actives can see if we are liv- ing up to their expectations,” Edwards commented. “Line-ups reinforce the idea that our pledge class is working as one.” “Physical abuse or hazing is not permit- ted,” said Selking. “It is not considered hazing if an active brother does a require- ment with a pledge.” “Pledgeship is four months of proving yourself to active brothers that you are ready to be a part of them. The re- quirements are tough, but the rewards are great,” concluded Edwards. Dean Kenneth Collier, adviser to the In- terfraternity Council, said students need to belong to a couple of campus organizations whether it is Greek or not. “They have a responsibility to themselves to be affiliated with some organizations. The end of winter quarter, there were 704 active members and 240 pledges in fraternities.” For Sigma Nu pledges, Ron Larimore, Bruce Eppley and Mitch Bryan, brother Todd Helmke signs pledge books. --photo by Julie Wark Pledging Grganwanons| 4} From Derbies to Superstars by Keith Waltz raternity philanthropics are F eectcaty a larger part of Ball State Univeristy than are English 103 and 104. They start in the cool breeze of September and continue into the blistering sun of May. There is not time throughout the school year when some fraternity does not have a philanthropic project in the planning or execution stages. The projects take on various types and forms as they are centered around such things as watermelons, derby, pigs, superstars, and the list goes on and on. But they all have one purpose in com- mon and that it to raise money for some charitable cause. Fraternity men use such things as a lot of work, time consuming projects, good times, and helping others to describe the philanthropy. To them philanthropies can mean a variety of things and hold much more meaning than is presented in Webster’s definition. Proceeds from philanthropics at Ball State go to help fund organizations such as the American Cancer Society, Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Delaware County, the Muncie Police Athletic Club, and the Ronald McDonald House. Philanthropic projects also act as a great public relations tool. The events are a device to help keep harmony among the Greek and non-Greek students. This is something that is lacking at many other colleges and universities across the coun- try.

Rob Fowler, treasurer of the Interfrater- nity Council, said, “The events allow all students a chance to interact and be together.” Fraternities also use the philanthropic events as a tool of their rush programs. The events allow the non-Greek students to see the Greeks organization in action. Scott Cliford of Delta Chi Fraternity said, “Philanthropic events give the non-Greek students a chance to come down and see the house and meet a few of the bothers.” The philanthropic projects of the frater- nities exemplify that the fraternities do not just drink beer and party. Rather, they are involved in raising money for charity and helping numerous under-privilieged peo- ple.U Casino Night of Unity Week was a chance for students to experience the thrill of gambling freely. --photo by Gail Kempe | LAMBDA CHI ALPHA LITTLE SISTERS.

The Ball State Band is playing as the Cardettes perform. But 90 Greek women are breaking this serene moment trying to steal a derby from a Sigma Chi fraternity member. “About 20 Sigma Chis were inside a cir- cle consisting of women. It seemed real relaxed at first, but at the sight of 75 to 100 girls running at a handful of Sigma Chis, the pace picked up. I’m glad I was on the outside running in, instead of being in the middle,”’said Lisa Lattimer, Elkhart sophomore. Tackling members, climbing trees, and running around in cirles were all tactics us- ed to confiscate a hat. This unusual behavior can be explained by the Sigma Chi Derby Days annual scramble. Derby Days is a week of festive events sponsored by Sigma Chi fraternity, and in- volving Ball State sororities. The men raise [evens a relaxed, beautiful October money for their national philanthropic, and people have fun as well. Judy Montgomery, Anderson junior, and Delta Delta Delta active said,“The week is a good, fun way to raise money. Everyone has a good time, and this is what draws the crowds.” Derby Days is a nationwide Sigma Chi fundraiser to help the children with minimal brain damage at Wallace Village in Colorado, and this year over $2,000 was donated to the fund. The week included activities involving 12 sororities. Along with the scramble, there was a bash, a hidden derby hunt, slide presentation on Wallace Village, coaches contest, collection jars, and the games. Each sorority had two Sigma Chi members as coaches. Lattimer added, “The coaches kept the spirit up and kept continued On October 16, 90 Greek women tried to cap- ture the derbies of 20 Sigma Chi men.

At the bash, each sorority was represented by four chuggers. The crowds cheered, and the women gulped down the beer. Lattimer said,“The winners were ac- tually losers.

Delta Zeta sorority received the trophy for the most spirit throughout the week. “Derby Days is a way to raise money, and get the sororities involved.

Rivalries belong in sports and events like Super- stars, but rivalries must be kept in perspective. If you dislike someone just because they’re from another fraternity then things have gone too far.” --Jim Burk President, Phi Sigma Epsilon Rivalries 4) | isecneeee by Patty Lighty and Jan Myers ivalries--they begin early in R live. From the time we are old enough to walk, we have this urge to out-do the other guy. As we grow older, this instinct becomes even more evident. Being able to out-run your best friend in a race or out-score your opponent in a basketball game is a necessity to life. College changes nothing. But instead of little boys, there are men competing against each other to determine the win- ner. Eighteen fraternities, with men numbering over 2,000, compete with themselves and with each other to be the “best.” Although most people think rivalries in- clude such things as toilet papering or yell- ing at neighboring fraternities, it is not always this way. Phi Sigma Epsilon fraternity brother Jack Brunner said he thinks rivalries are good. “I always enjoyed the rivalry. It’s just like we were in high school. The fraternities have it just as the high schools do.” Brun- ner said rivalries help give everyone involv- ed a sense of pride. There are many times during the year when rivalries surface among the Greek organizations. Rush and pledging are special times for fraternities because they have a chance to compete with other fraternities to attract new members. Pledging tends to work both ways. If a certain rushee believes he has found the right or best fraternity, he’ll do his best to get involved. Jim Faber, a Sigma Tau Gamma pledge, explained his reason for pledging. “When I was rushing I got along with Sig Tau better than the other groups. I really felt at home.” he said. Fraternity sponsored events such as Tug-O-War and Watermelon Bust give the men a chance to compete against each other in hopes of winning. Rivalries between fraternities vary in ex- tent, said Faber. “As far as rivalries go, the only outstanding one that comes to mind is Bike-A-Thon. There is always one team to beat. When we are out training, we always try to show the other team we can win,” he said. Most of the rivalries that fraternities engage in never reach a very serious or permanent level. Faber said, “Everybody has their yelling contests and best looking car contest. “But it’s all in fun.”0 At the Derby Bash Chugging Contest Sue Miller watches her competition out of the corner of her eye. --photo by F.

More Than Slobs or Snobs by Greg Bibler rancis Fitzgerald Fraternity Ill comes speeding down the road with the top down on the Spitfire. His well groomed hair is hardly ruffled by the wind. He proudly wears the Izod alligator on his sportshirt. One hand is on the steering wheel. The other is around Mary Sue Sorority. She looks so cute with her long blond hair, peaches and cream complex- ion and baby blue eyes. On her tight fitting sweater, Mary Sue wears Francis’ fraternity pin, her fifth. In the yard of the rival fraternity, Bluto Slobronski glares after the happy couple. He chugs the rest of his beer, finishing off the case next to his sneakers. Wiping his mouth on the gray remains of this white T- shirt, Bluto stumbles back through the front window for another case. These are the two most popular stereotypes of the Greek system, the clean- cut snob and the drunk slob. The snob im- age is for those who think money is the on- ly reason Greek organizations let anybody join them. The slob image is for those who think Greek organizations only want to have a good time and don’t care about col- lege. Movies like “Animal House” help to support these stereotypes. Most Greek organizations fall somewhere between the snob and the slob. Like most students, Greeks like to party, date, and goof-off. But Greeks go beyond this. Greek organizations were established because of colleges and universities. They support these institutions and help their members get through the trying years of college. Greeks provide various services to the surrounding community. They provide entertainment through parties, dances,and other events. Most importantly, Greek organizations help their members to grow to their full potential. The next time you see someone wearing Greek letters walking down the street, remember there is more behind those let- ters than just a snob or a slob.U Although fraternities do have quite a few par- ties, contrary to popular belief, they do do other things. --photo by F.

Participants, athletically clad in sweatsuits against the chill of the Field and Sports Building, ner- vously awaited their turn to compete. All the free hot dogs, potato chips, and soft drinks you could eat quelled both hunger pains and nervous pangs. Enthusiastic sup- porters braved the chilly February weather and dusty conditions to rally their teams with chants and yells. This was the Olym- pics, Ball State style. It was the fourth an- nual Beta Theta Pi-Chi Omega Superstars ever. Held February 6 in the Field and Sports Buidling, this evert raised money for the Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Delaware County through ticket sales and team entry fees. Competing for trophies and other prizes, like a dinner for four at Butterfield’s, 49 teams of four participants each put their strength to the test in four events: the half- mile relay, shot-put throw, grocery cart race, and the dreaded obstacle course. The course consisted of a wall to scale, pylons to zig zag around, tires to trip over, and hurdles to leap before the final frantic dash for the finish line. Many Superstars athletes took home scrapes, banged knees, and shaky legs with their memories of the event. According to Cathy Terwiske, Chi Omega chairwoman for the _ event, everything ran smoothly. “This is our fourth year for Superstars, and every year it gets better,” she said. Terwiske also reported increased profits from the event which went to the Big Brothers and Big Sisters Organization. This was due to increased participation, more ticket sales, donations of food, condiments and prizes, and a lower budget which was strictly adhered to, Terwiske said. Also competing, but for a different honor, were the eight contestants for the ti- tle of Mr. and Miss Superstars. The four finalists were each selected by penny voting. The field of finalists was narrowed down by a preliminary running of the obstacle course, and the winners were determined by taking the fastest times in the final run-off. Racing to the title of Mr. and Miss Superstars were Lauren Kerley of Sigma Sigma Sigma Sorority and Stuart Reece of Delta Chi Fraternity. For some, Superstars provided a welcome Friday night diversion to socialize and cheer on their favorite teams. It gave others a chance to be weekend athletes just for fun or to see if they still had “it.” For others, the competition was _ serious business, and it was every team for itself. This was especially evident in the obstacle course and relay events where different teams from the same organization would be pitted against each other in the same heat. In the end, it was Williams Hall trium- phing in the overall competition as well as in taking first place in the men’s division. First place in the women’s division went to the women of Baker Hall. Second place honors went to Sigma Alpha Epsilon B Team and the Little Sigmas A Team. Supporters of Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity were rewarded for their tenacity and long windedness when they were awarded the spirit trophy for their unflagg- ing support of their teams. : 66°T°HE Superstars is main- ly a_ philanthropic event.

Gary Rice, member of Alpha Tau Omega fraternity, estimated that he has spent about $40 a year on an ever-growing collection of glasses, clothes, and paddles. 4 ; i g @ i “I wouldn’t even know how much,” said Jan Fyffe, member of Alpha Sigma Alpha sorority, adding that she really didn’t want to know an exact total on what she has spent on items for her sorority. It was pro- bably, she thought, “ungodly amounts.” Besides the actual Greek letters or crests, items which represent individual sororities and fraternities can be found in area stores. There are stuffed owls and turtles. Violets, pansies and other flowers are imprinted on vases, pillows, and sta- tionery. “I have zillions of rainbows,” said Fyffe. The rainbow is symbol of her sorori- ty. Some symbols are easier to find than others. However, members of Sigma Kap- pa and Delta Delta Delta sororities sometimes find it hard to locate snakes and dolphins. Locate a greek, and you'll locate their letters.

Formal, as in shirt and tie or fancy blouse from the waist up. Box- er shorts from the waist down. Yes, boxer shorts. It’s not just another Saturday night. It’s another Sigma Tau Gamma theme party. No one was allowed admittance without the proper attire-- boxer shorts. Though not every party at Sig Tau has a theme, those that do often draw a bigger crowd. It’s the little something extra that makes the same old people a bit more ex- citing. Theme party topics come in a wide range of ideas. This range covers those as traditional as a western party or a fifties party, but they also can be very im- aginative. Hawaiian parties were plentiful as well as holiday parties. Topping the list for strange party ideas may have to be nerd parties. Visitors to such a party obviously try to be as much a nerd as possible. It’s a great release for the tensions built up from college life. All campus parties do not have themes, and many feel themes are unnecessary. But the intent is the same at all parties.

The answer for many is to become alittle sister to a fraternity. Nearly all of BSU’s fraternities offer a lit- tle sister auxiliary organization as a part of their program. Not only do these organiza- tions benefit the fraternity by offering assistance in philanthropic projects, they also introduce the sister to the Greek system, as well as develop a multitude of friendships. “I joined Sigma Chi because I didn’t want to get involved in a sorority as a freshman, but I did want to get familiar with the Greek system,” said Jodi Benefiel, Indianapolis freshman. “Now that I know a little more about Greeks, I plan to rush for a sorority next year.” The time and money commitment is not as great for little sisters as it is for sorority membership either, according to Becky Reimer, Carmel freshman and Theta Xi lit- tle sis pledge. “You don’t have to get as in- Little Sisters 13121 Organizations volved time-wise in little sisters as com- pared to a sorority’s requirement, and you still get the benefits of Greek life. Sure, pledging takes a lot of time and effort, but I like the closeness between brothers and sisters that develops as a result,” she said. Although the little sister system has often been criticized as a dating service for brothers, many Greeks feel that this is an unfair representation of the little sis func- tion. “There are a few brothers dating sisters, but we basically have a friendship situation at Theta Xi,” commented Mike Sorrels, Columbus freshman and athletic director for Theta Xi. “If you start liking someone in the fraternity, fine. But we don’t look at lit- tle sisses as just a way to get dates. There are some really close friendships between brothers and sisters.” For many girls, little sis organizations are the best way to socialize ona limited college budget. They offer an alternative to sororities for those who don’t feel com- pletely comfortable with the Greek system as newcomers to campus.

They help us out on any functions we plan.” --Carl Peterson Vice President, Sigma Tau Gamma Little Sisters Organizations ‘i it Doing It for a Cause by Pam Hicks here is much more to sorority Tie than parties and Sunday meet- ings. An important function of sororities is to serve society. And to do this, a sorority will participate in a philanthropic project to raise money, or in some other way benefit a specific charity. Each year sororities participate in philan- thropic projects in order to raise money for, or in some other way benefit, a specific charity or organization. Each sorority has a different national organization which they work to benefit. The national philanthropic for Tri Sigma is the Robby Page Memorial Fund. Ac- cording to Muncie senior Jean Schaller, Tri Sigma philanthropy chairman, the money raised is used to help play therapy for children in hospitals. In November, they sponsored a “Purple Auction” in which all collegiate and alumni members made a small craft to be auction- ed off with the proceeds donated to the robby Page Memorial Fund. “Last year we gave the Fund $392 from Purple Auction,” Schaller said. “The basis of our philanthropy is to serve children,” Schaller said. “We sponsor a Sor. Philanthropics id lGrganissHon matinee movie for children where we all dress up in costumes. The money made from the 50 cent admission fee is donated to the fund.” “I would say that last year we donated close to $500 total,” Schaller said. Sigma Kappa’s national philanthropic is the Maine Seacoast Mission. According to Elkhart sophomore Cheryl Penrose, Sigma Kappa philanthropy chairman, “We collect books, toiletries and old clothes and send them to a boat called Sunbeam. The boat delivers the goods to people in the isolated islands of Maine,” she said. Sigma Kappa has a variety of other philanthropic projects. From a craft auction the members raised $280 which was donated to Riley Childrens Hospital cancer research. They also held a_ senior citizen’s hoedown, which was a pot luck dinner and square dance held in a barn. “We also sponsor an American girls farm school in Greece. The school teaches reading and writing basics to girls who live on farms in Greece. We collect books and donate them to the school,” Penrose said. Although sororities are too often viewed as merely social clubs, the members of these Greek organizations also work hard for good causes.)

Elaine Hawkins studies in her room. -- photo by Patty Hughes by Susan Taylor tudying is essential for good S astes And good grades are essen- tial for being active in a sorority. Contrary to popular beleif, sororities are actually an asset to most members’ grades. Mary Grace Walsh, Pi Beta Phi, said “My sorority stresses grades, as well as our na- tional organization. When you join a sorority you are pledging yourself financial- ly, socially and academically.” The Greenfield senior added, “The three parts are all equal. To not pay your dues is the same as not making your grades. You not only have incentive for yourself, but for your whole chapter.” The Panhellnic Council also encourages good grades by presenting a scholarship award to the sorority with the highest grades. “We even won the every year, but one,” said Christi Ehereman, Alphi Chi Omega. “I pledged a_ sorority my sophomore year and it made no diference in my grades,” the Warsaw senior added. She also said that her sorority encourages good grades by not making events man- datory. Studying is an excuse for missing parties.” Cindy Glass, Sigma Kappa and Griffith senior said that the pledges must have high grades to pledge, then maintain them before they can go active. “Pledges are re- quired to be in the library ay least six hours a week. They are not allowed to skip classes either,” said Glass. Glass went on to say that she believes Sigma Kappa has encouraged her to strive for high grades by its file system. “We feel having files of tests are unethical, therefore, we have a list of sisters’ phone numbers and major. Although some sororites have tests and report files, we feel it would be more of a learning process to have a sister study with you,” Glass said. Ehereman said her sorority does have files, but the contents are for reference. “The themes are marked up, so you could not reuse them,” she said. Walsch said that their files consist only of notes from the different classes. “We don't believe in having tests, but the notes could be really useful in studying. You could also call that sister for help,” she said. Almost every sorority has study buddies. “This is where two sisters of the same ma- jor are assigned to one another, and they usually meet in the library and study,” Glass said. She also added, “Grades must be maintained or you have to temporarily go unactive, until you bring them up.” Therefore, in addition to the commit- ment of time and money, _ sorority members are also required to hit the books--and hit them hard. _ | a Studying Organizations a Escaping the Normal Routine by Susan Taylor here was a freshman, terri- Te homesick, having to face an evening of a weird roommate, T.V. and a Biology 100 book. Then across the hall there’s a sophomore, seasoned one year. but still lonely. She had the same friends, an old boyfrield, and the same rut of studying and watching T.V. 1000 Ball State women escaped the wrath of the everyday, hum-drum, terribly normal pace and went Greek. They joined a sorority and found it to have several ad- vantages. Barb Murphy, Indianapolis senior, join- ed a sorority her sophomore year. She felt that joining a sorority made her more aware of the campus activities. “I’m more involved since I joined Sigma Kappa, because we are participating as a group in activities all of the time. It has helped me become more outgoing. This campus has a lot to offer, and I’ve realized this because of sorority. Alpha Sigma Alpha member Brenda Stewart said, “I might have dropped out of school, but I had sisters around keeping me to busy to get homesick! They made me feel like I was needed and really so- meone special!’ The Merrillville freshman added,“Sorority has made me become more outgoing everywhere. Even in the hall, I am more sociable since I joined Alpha Sigma Alpha.” Many sororities are often criticized for taking time away from studies. Some members, though have found that sororities are advantageous to their grades. Stewart said she was encouraged to keep her grades up, so she could go active. There is a minimum grade point average required in all sororities. Murphy said that if she is having trouble in class, there is always a sister that can help. “Alpha Phi helps me budget my time, so I can keep my grades up and still be active in the campus events,” said Elizabeth Eaton, Rushville junior. She added that Alpha Phi has taught her a lot. It helped me learn to share and get along with peo- ple. Murphy criticized the idea sororities only help you grow socially. “It helped me with leadership. I met a lot of people from Sigma Kappa, but it has helped me in other ways. Friends in dorms are so transit. Every year there are different groups of friends. My group of sisters will be there for four years, and for the rest of my life.” Stewart agrees that her sorority helped her grow in several areas. “I met a lot of people through rush, but by pledging | have met so many more. My sisters and | are really close, although I haven’t known them very long.” “l have made a lot of friends through Alpha Phi,” Eaton added. “I have grown so much. | like the feeling of a sense of belonging. It encourages responsibility, as well as offers opportunity. Next year I am living with a group of sisters.” Murphy also feels being in a sorority in college will help her in numerous ways after she graduates. “I have sisters in col- leges all over the United States! When I graduate, I can get involved in a chapter in a new town. Plus, I will always have some place to come back to during Homecoming.” she added. Freshman Brenda Stewart added, “If I need a change from the dorm and need to get away, or am feeling homesick, I can always go over to my sorority suite. There will be sisters there that I can laugh or talk with, and really cheer me up!”0 One advantage of joining a sorority is always having sisters near by. At Bike-A-Thon, sorority members express their excitement. --photo by Patty Hughes Sor. Advantages 148 Organizations CHI OMEGA. Front Row:Liza Scotten, Becky Demjen, Ruth Glessner, Lori Hart.

Rituals of Religious Origin by Pam Hicks art of sorority life is the par- Pircivatios in secret ceremonies and rituals dealing with aspects of the sorority such as pinning, initiation and pledging. According to Judy Abrahamson, assis- tant director of student programs, “most ceremonies are based on ideals and goals. They are made up so the girls will share common, meaningful experiences.” Abrahamson said colleges and universities were built a lot on religion and piety in their early days and due to this, many rituals are a take-off of religious ceremonies. “The verv first ceremonies ever were probably held in church. That’s probably where the darker atmosphere for ceremonies and the use of candles came from,” Abrahamson said. “Many ceremonies evolved from that religious history. They were created from something that was already known,” Abrahamson said. Many honoraries have the same basis for ceremonies as do social organizations ac- cording to Abrahamson. “The use of robes during ceremonies is not only for fraternity ceremonies and rituals but are also used by the church, judiciary and academia,” Abrahamson ad- ded. She said many of the ideas for actual ceremonies came from the English since they founded many of the first universities in the United States. According to Zelda Decker, Alpha Phi graduate counselor, “many ceremonies are based on love, sisterhood, truth and God.” “Ceremonies teach members about the symbols and beliefs of a sorority,” Decker said. In the Alpha Chi Omega suite, rushees learn about sorority customs, ceremonies and sym- bols through songs, skits and speeches. --photo by William E.

[Tee added life to Skate-A-Way. hey added life to Handicapped Ser- vices. During the last week of January, the Greeks added life to the 1981 Greek Week festivities. Handicapped Services was once again the recipient of the money raised during the week through street corner collections, penny-voting for the Greek King and Queen and the all-night skating marathon. This was the second year in which an entire week was devoted to Greek Week festivities. It had previously been a weekend activity. A Monday night variety show allowed fraternity and sorority members to display their talents in an all-Greek variety show filled with singing, dancing, and skits. The Tuesday night Greek “study” took place on the third floor of Bracken library. “It was supposed to be emphasized that it was study night,” said Barb Murphy, a member of the Greek Week Steering Committee. The Greek fair with-booths displaying in- formation on individual fraternities and sororities also took place on Monday and Tuesday. Greek night at King’s Corner featured a dating game and the winners were treated to free movies and dinner. Dinner was also enjoyed by many at the Thursday night ex- change dinners when fraternity houses and sorority suites opened their doors to members of other Greek organizations. “I think the marathon went over real well,” said Murphy, speaking of the roller- skating marathon held at Skate-A-Way on Friday night and Saturday morning. Blisters, sore muscles, and money to pur- chase a TTY unit for Handicapped Ser- vices greeted the s katers at the end of nine hours of skating. A casino night was held in the Student Center on Saturday night. This event replaced a concert which was held in previous years. “It was hard to get a con- cert,” said Murphy. “I don’t think it (Greek Week) was as effective this year as last year. I think the concert was a part of that. I think we need something at the end of the week.’’() % The money raised from the skating marathon went towards the purchase of equipment for Handicapped Services. --photo by Jill Dunne During Greek Week, the skating marathon was only one of the events that the Sigma Phi Ep- silon fraternity got involved in. --photo by Bill Marks Greek Week wy) lOrganigauone KAPPA ALPHA THETA.

It’s a time to learn about campus life, join organizations, meet new people and maybe pledge a sorority. Girls flock to meetings during Rush Week hoping to be accepted by the sororities they choose. While this is hap- pening, other young women are watching the action without feeling the excitement. Not everyone wants to be ina sorority and there are numberous reasons why. The two most obvious disadvantages of being in a sorority are the cost and time it takes. The average amount of dues is $160 for an active member. As a pledge, one spends more than this. This amount does not include the “extras” that go with the membership like sweatshirts, visors or anything else one might want to buy. Another added cost is one for social fun- ctions, new outfits, T-shirts for special events, etc. Sor.

Another disadvantage some _ students cite is the “image” they feel sorority members have to keep up. “You have to worry about what other people think of you,” freshman Kathy Gray noted. “I also don’t think it’s fair that the sororities don’t have houses,” Gray com- mented The cost element comes up again in another girl’s opinion.

Rushing Through the Spring by Margit Willis t's a scene repeated every fall On one side, hundreds of girls dressed in their Sunday finest trudge from one sorority suite to another. On the other side, hundreds of girls dress- ed alike in itchy wool suits, swelter through songs and skits. And on both sides, they smile...and talk...and smile...and laugh...and smile... It’s all a part of sorority rush, a time of picking and choosing, where names and faces often get lost, or at least mixed up, in the shuffle. For some girls, however, the heat and fury of formal rush are avoided. They are the spring pledges of a sorority. Smaller in number, they have the advantage of less formality and little more special treatment. A spring pledge doesn’t visit every sorority suite when going through rush. Her weekends aren’t filled with parties or the anxiety of waiting for computer prin- touts telling who chose her. Usually, a girl who rushes in spring is invited to visit one sorority. “It’s a lot less formal. There’s a lot fewer girls,” said Mary Woolridge, a member of Alpha Phi sorority. “I liked it better,” said Kelly Thomas, a ; member of Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority. “I don’t think I would have made it through formal rush. It seems so vicious.” “If I had gone through fall rush, | wouldn’t have pledged,” said Wooldridge. “I would have gone to one set of parties and quit. It wouldn’t have been worth it.” Where a fall pledge class can have up to 30 members, spring pledge classes average five or six members. “They treat you really special,” said Thomas. Wooldridge felt that pledging in the spring was less difficult since there are fewer girls together for an activity. Although their class may be small, spring pledges are usually required to do the same activites as a large class. Where daily suite cleaning duties can be easily divided among the 30 girls, it becomes more of a chore for five. Spring pledges don’t have a pledge dance either. Visiting only one sorority can make one wonder about other sororities and what it would have been like to see the others dur- ing fall rush. “I missed not seeing the other suites and all the parties,” said Thomas, “but I’m glad I missed all the heartache.”U As a part of fall rush, sorority members dress up and put on skits.

The calendar includes all campus activities a Ball State map, a final exam schedule and emergency phone numbers. SCGB also plans many of the academic, cultural and social events listed on the calendar. Each September SCGB sponsors an Ac- tivities Night. All campus organizations are invited to set up informational booths to encourage freshmen to get involved on campus. They also plan hayrides, a halloween party, ski trips, a Ball State Christmas, dai- ly video tape programs, coffeehouses with local and national talents, and a trip to a Cicinnati Reds game . “We try to program a variety of events so all students will be involved.” said Karen Terhune, publications chairwoman and next year’s president. One of the most successful activities this year was a forum with Gordon Liddy. He began the program with a speech on strengthening American defense and then held a question and answer session where students asked pointedly about the Watergate scandal. Every fall and spring students dust off their frisbees and head for the SCGB- sponsored “Day in the Park” held on the Arts Terrace. Terhune said, “They attract a certain crowd of people who like to spend a real relaxing afternoon listening to the bands.” For the first time this year SCGB held the College Bowl trivia competion. The Schmidt Wits outwitted the other Ball State teams and went on to a competition in Il- linois. Sandy Schrier was named Miss Ball State in SCGB’s scholarship pageant this year. She will go on to represent Ball State in the Miss Indiana beauty pageant in Michigan City. Students can enjoy last year’s hit movies for $1.25 each week, courtesy of SCGB. This year the films were one of the board’s least successful activities. “We’re trying to work on that problem for next year. Dif- ferent student unions across the country have been having the same problems,” said Terhune. “We’re trying to bring in really big movies that haven’t made it to home box office yet.” Terhune is looking eagerly to next year. “We spent alot of time reorganizing and redefining the board this year. I think we’ll be even more effective next year,” she said.U During the year SCGB sponsored many events, such as the forum with G. Gordon Liddy. He spoke about national defense and answered students’ questions. --photo by Robert Bridges CAMPUS CHEST. Front Row:Laura Hunt, Tammy McCoige, Marty Clemmer.

Earth Day ’8I, previously celebrated ona weekday, was acknowledged the last Saturday in April by anyone strolling through the Arts Terrace. Since the event took place on a Satur- day rather than during the week, the crowd was much smaller than in years past. The smaller turnout was changing all day long as some would wander over, listen for awhile, and then take their leave. Others came early, found a favorite spot in the sun, and stayed all day. Those that did attend found the events of the day basically favorable, however the general apathy of the campus once again took its toll. Monticello Freshman Lori Barker said, “The singers and the booths were great. The only bad part was the shortage of peo- Earth 4 | lorganieauone ple. It could have been so much better if more people had come.” Even though the crowds were small, the speakers spoke to the audience as if they constituted millions, each spokesman with his own personal message he was trying to convey about the earth. But the lack of observers didn’t stop those who came from enjoying the festivities. While listening to the singers or bands or avoiding listening to the speakers, several crowd members passed the time by throwing a frisbee. Amateurs weren’t the only ones passing frisbees though, and the audience was treated to a frisbee exhibi- tion. The comsumption of beer was also a quick way to pass the day and a technique used by many. Though not allowed on campus, coolers bearing fine gifts were scattered throughout the terrace, and no one seemed to care. Performing for the patient crowd were several singers and bands, each with his own sound. J. Michael Henderson headed at nner om the list of entertainers. He played some of his new album, and it was agreed that he was very good. Bitter Creek was also well received and enjoyed great praise from Walton Junior Joan Jump who especially enjoyed their version of “Rocky Top.” Sponsored by Environmental Action, Earth Day ’81 also carried several booths. The information available ranged from organizations like Planned Parenthood to No Nukes. “It was fun to walk around to all of the booths just to see what they had to say. Some of them were really interesting.” Jump said. Though the temperature was a little low to make it completely comfortable, the weather was good. The sun broke through the clouds often enough to warm the spec- tators. It was an appropriate day to celebrate the earth.

Their activities span from sponsoring the student issues convention, which brought up student concerns about zoning, financial aid, and housing to br- inging a controversial issue between students and administrators to light. Many programs the Student Association had an active role in this year will continue next year, according to Liz Blume, vice president of SA for 1981-82. Programs which will continue include the Student Employment Service, the Ball State Better Business Bureau, the Travel Bureau, the Student Legal Services, and the Birth Con- trol Information Center. “Next year we intend to start a Col- legiate Consumer Club. We already have 10 to 12 merchants signed up for it,” said Blume. The consumer club will aid Ball State students in getting discounts on items from the merchants who participate in it. At Earth Day, Michael Looper, Student Association president, introduces the next act. --photo by Sue Wilden In the Student Association office, Jeff Kelley writes, sorts and sends out correspondances. -- photo by F. A. Phillips, Jr. Blume said the most controversial issue the Student Association dealt with was the sexual harrassment issue. “It had a wide scope. It involved not only students, but the administration as well.” Blume said she thought SA handled the situation effectively. “The administration is trying to rectify the situation because SA brought it to light.” “I think SA should attempt to have better communication between the students and administrators,” said Dale Dart, South Bend senior. He added most students f of oe | 4 have trouble in trying to-find out about the administration because they don’t know where to go. “If SA wants to serve the students better, they should try to vocalize more that they can help or aid the student with the administration.” Dart also said the students should show more support for SA since it is mainly to serve the students. “If students don’t show more support, then the Student Associa- tion might have to be dismantled. It’s hard to accomplish anything if there is little en- couragement from the students.” i Student Association Organizations 3351 During spring quarter, the Banevolks folk dance troupe put on a performance in Emens Auditorium.

Under the present direction of Greg Lund, the Banevolks have been perform- wirling skirts and high kicking; hard clapping hands and intensely smiling ing mostly Eastern European fo!k dances. faces are part of the Banevolk Dancers’ colorful ethnic costumes. The Banevolk Dance group was formed 12 years ago when a few students in Folk Dance Physical Education class got together to continue dancing outside of class. As a result of their work and interest, the dancers gained the help of the P.E. faculty. Ever since then the reputation of the group has grown beyond the Ball State campus. As a part of their schedule, the Banevolks perform international dances on college campuses throughout Indiana and in Kentucky. But their travels also took them out of the United States and into Europe. During the first three weeks of summer, the dance troupe presented a number of American dances in Romania and Bulgaria. While there, the dancers learned the national dances of those coun- tries first hand. “We have to practice 10-12 hours a week prior to a performance. It is a lot of work, but the time spent is more than worth the experience gained. I know | won't have another college experience that will compare to being a member of Banevolks,” said Jim Hines, Indianapolis sophomore who has been dancing with the seco Wkorganizanrons And the frothy petticoats, brightly stitched vests and pleated skirts are the work of Taunya Lund who sews all the costumes for Banevolks. Being a member of the Banevolks isn’t easy, and it is time consuming. But for the most part, being a Banevolk dancer is a lot of fun.

Not for members of the Ball State Frisbee Club, who take it very seriously. Considered an intramural _ sport, Ultimate Frisbee, as the players call it, has halves, inzones and organized plays similar to football. Competition in Ultimate Frisbee can be just as strenuous as any other sport, according to Tom Kuhns, Frisbee Club member. The Ball State club consists of about ten teams each competing in two seasons per year. The teams are made up of 15 men while only seven are on the field at any one time. The object is obviously to score as many points as possible. A team scores by passing the frisbee from one team member to another until it is finally close enough to the inzone to go for the point. The average score for a game is around ten points. Although the Ball State organization is not as organized as other clubs on campus, they are trying. During fall quarter, the club members drew up a constitution and join- ed the International Frisbee Club. Being members of the IFC, the teams can get their frisbees at discount prices. The cost of frisbees probably doesn’t amount to much, but all expenses for the club are paid by the members, so they cut corners every way they can. Kuhns said the teams travel to various competitions around Indiana and all travel expenses come from the members. But that’s not enough to keep them home, however because they are planning a trip to Ann Arbor, Michigan over the summer to compete with other schools. Travelling out of Indiana is a big ac- complishment for the club and they hope it will draw in new members. Practice is sometimes the best part of the club, according to Kuhns who prefers the front throw and the overhead throw. Frisbee Club members can often be seen on the Arts Terrace on a warm afternoon tossing around a frisbee or two. “It’s a lot of fun and I’m glad I got involv- ed. I’m learning to use the frisbee like it was a football or baseball.” Kuhns said. No longer are frisbees just a way of relaxing. They have become a business, a sport, a way of life for the particularly crafty frisbee flingers at Ball State.0 oe TE i : : “e z � ey eThe. ‘ent State o, ponents closed Division if = o ——-— — — — er SPORTS re During some games, Charlie Cardinal joined the crowd . -- photo by F.A.

Building up their bodies for an increase in strength, stamina, and en- durance has become an overwhelming concern of students. The term “working out” is now in the vocabulary of the majori- ty of students, whether involved in athletics or not. There are a variety of ways in which people work out. A typical session consists of daily exercise and jogging, but there are those who do more than this and those who do less. The jogging phase of the workout is becoming more and more popular everyday. Male and female jog- gers can be seen on a variety of routes all around the campus everyday, making their way through the rain, snow, wind, and Working Out sometimes, sun. Many use the outdoor track by University Gym as a set distance they run every night, but others choose to change the course regularly. This makes jogging less monotonous and more en- joyable for those working up a sweat. One of these typical joggers is Jenny Harre, Cincinnati sophomore, whose daily routine consists of about a half an hour of stretching then setting out for a three mile jog. “I work out to keep my muscles toned and weight down. While I run, I do a lot of thinking and this relaxes me. If I didn’t run, I would have a lot of built-up tension and no way to release it,” she said. An example of one of those students who does more than just the basics is Shane Eversole, a hurdler for the Ball State track team. He is one of the many athletes who works out not only because he likes to, but also because he has to. The biggest part of Eversole’s work out is daily track practice. This consists of pumping iron or weightlifting and running. Eversole said that weightlifting is “helpful if you give it time, but it’s not going to help you im- mediately. One of the biggest downfalls of those who lift is the fact that they look for immediate results, which just doesn’t hap- pen.” Eversole also stressed the im- portance of eating balanced meals and supplying the body with the proper amount of vitamins and proteins without the use of pills. Those who are more dedicated to the sport aspect of working out are those into body-building for competition. One Ball State student who lifts for competition is Freshman Mark Stull. Stull is presently not competing, but plans on working himself back up for the Mr. Ball State competition. He believes that working out helps “as long as you do the proper exercises and don’t over-exert yourself. Building yourself up 383 $$? Soe for too much bulk does more harm than good for you. During the time span when an individual is working out, he or she should do the exercises completely and to the best of their abilities.” Stull also strongly believes that eating the proper foods is very important to the one working out. The one aspect of working out that he thinks has helped him the most is preparing himself mentally as well as physically. “Doing something day after day sort of helps you discipline-wise in your everyday life. You can set shorter goals and have the feeling of accomplishment to build your con- fidence up,” Stull said. Lifting weights, to many, is a big part of working out, but to many it is no part at all. The gymnastics room in University Gym is always filled with males and females just limbering up their bodies. These people aren’t necessarily interested in building bulk or muscles, but just keeping toned and in shape. No matter what the reason or who the person, each individual has his or her own reason for working out. It can be helpful as long as it is done regularly and done cor- rectly, but not in excess. It has now become part of a daily schedule for those who have chosen to do it, and those peo- ple have set their own personal goals to meet.U Even when the weather got cold, rainy and snowy, Brett Davis could be seen jogging around the campus community. --photo by Bill Marks Football Won 6, Lost 5 BS OP Central Michigan ; I Ea Northern Illinois 18 17 Toledo 27-7 Miami University 9 42 McNeese State 7 24 Eastern Michigan 26 0 Western Michigan 15 17 Bowling Green 21 24 Kent State 34 7 Ohio University 37 18 _ Indiana State — 28 21 In a game against the Kent State Golden Flashes, Tim Clary breaks around the end eluding his tackler for a large gain.

This is not the case for the players, coaches, student managers, and all of those involved with the Cardinal team. For them the grueling season was to begin on August 12, 1980. It began with those hot August practices in the treacherous heat and humidity in which the players participated in “two-a-days.” This simply means that they practiced twice each day. The first of these practices was scheduled from 8 to 10:50 a.m. and the second from 3 to 5:30 p.m. The even- ing s were reserved for meetings, where the players were required to learn and memorize the complicated offensive and defensive patterns that provide the core of the Cardinal playing strategy. Once school came into session the morning practice was eliminated and the afternoon one con- tinued on throughout the season. Some of the players continued to work outas well as run until spring practice began while others prefered to take a break until January. “Spring practice is a very important time for the players,” Coach Wallace stated. “This is the time we, the coaching staff, make our primary decisions on next year’s starters.” Coach Wallace, now in his third year at the Cardinal helm, believes that spring practice also serves two other im- portant functions. One, it provides the op- portunity for experimentation in the of- fense and defense, and two, it is a return to fundamental football. “Basically, spring practice lays the groundwork for the com- ing season,” Coach Wallace added. Even though practice is rigorous and time consuming, its reason is very impor- tant - it promotes togetherness and unity. Most players believe that team unity and togetherness are necessary in attaining good team play. Evening meals are also eaten together as a team, during the season. As a form of uniting the team on the Friday nights before a game, after the dinner the team will together enjoy a movie. As Ohio Freshman Jeff Earle put it, “Even those that don’t see much time in the games feel like part of the team. Team unity is an important part of football and when it comes to this unity the Cardinals © have a lot of it.” Those chosen to play in Saturday’s game will then, to insure them a good night’s rest, spend the night at the Kitselman Center. To show the magnitude of this team’s unity when Coach Wallace was asked about this team in particular he stated, “This season is one I'll long continued became an art among the loyal fans. --photo by F.A. Phillips, Jr. ——romnlh Football - Not Enough remember; this is a special team.” Another important part of molding a total team is academics. Football players are often stereotyped as “those dumb jocks.” This is not the case at Ball State. The fact that the players must learn and memorize many intricate offensive and defensive patterns, indicated intelligence. The players are also required to attend study table four nights per week unless they have attained a grade point average of 2.75. The Cardinals also boast of their five players who were placed on the Academic All-Mid-American Conference football team for 1980. These five Car- dinals were Tim Clary, Phil Debes, Jeremiah Gunn, Gary Reese, and Reid Willen. After spending the better part of a year in preparation, Coach Wallace’s Cardinals at. sabtlamt Univesity canner by Kim perf: a c= Football JA 54 SPORTS headed into the season with the common goal of winning a MAC championship. The Cardinals opened up with a loss in their first game at the hand of defending MAC champion. The loss came against a power- ful Central Michigan team by the score of 21-17. Wallace explained, “We got off toa bad start on both sides of the football. Our defense played very tentatively. Offensive- ly, the early mistakes forced us to play catch-up throughout the game.” In this game the Cardinals also lost the top rusher of a year ago, Mark Warlaumont. The sophomore who ran for 713 yards in his rookie year suffered a knee injury early in the first quarter. Perhaps the most rewarding victory of the season for the Cardinals came at Nor- thern Illinois. This game had a special significance for the two head coaches. Nor- thern Illinois head coach Bill Mallory had Dwight Wallace as an assistant at Colorado before Wallace took over at Ball State in 1978.

A passing and rushing attack which was led by Mark O’Connell and Ken Currin enabled the Cardinals to score a last minute touchdown and attempt a two-point conversion. The success of this conversion allowed the Car- dinals to claim the victory by a single point 18-17. After the NIU game the Cardinals went off to have an unpredictable season. They defeated MAC foes Toledo 27-7, Eastern Michigan 26-0, Kent State 34-7, and Ohio University 37-18 to finish in conference play with a record of 5-4. “The Ohio University game was our overall best effort of the year,” Wallace continued. “Everything seemed to come together and it allowed us to continue our trend of im- proving as a football team each week.” The Cardinals closed their season with an impressive victory over rival Indiana State 28-21.

The season not only ended, but also ending was the collegiate career of 16 Car- dinal football players. These 16 graduating seniors were Terry Bates, Mark Calvert, Tim Clary, Chris Clupper, Ken Currin, Dennis Gunden, Jeremiah Gunn, Ray Hinton, Brady Hoke, Doug Jacoby, Clif- ton Johnson, Scott Newburg, Mark O'Connell, Don Petrosius, Dave St. Clair, and Curtis Westbrook. : In summarizing the season from a player’s point of view, Gary Reese, Youngstown, Ohio junior, responded, “The season was not quite what we had Football expected, but the future looks good.” When asked about the outlook for the future he stated, “We have the players if they can only come around.” The posi- tions that he believes the Cardinals need a little strengthening at were quarterback, tight end, and offensive line. “We lost strong players at these positions and losing the entire offensive line besides myself will be one spot we have to work a lot at,” Reese said. Another player stated that the team suf- fered from inconsistency during the year. “If we would have started the year out the way we ended, we would have had a much better year and probably would have had a MAC championship. We suffered through a lot of bad breaks and this hurt us throughout the season,” he stated. Brady Hoke, a senior from Ohio, who was the defensive captain for the Cardinals this year commented, “The 1979 season was the rebuilding year and in 1980 we were suppose to put it all together. Things just didn’t work out the way they were sup- posed to, but the team is young and they should be able to put it all together in 1981. They are young and should be very strong contenders for the MAC championship in the year to come.” Coach Wallace summarized the season by comparing it to a window display and what is behind it. In the Cardinal window there was a season record of 6-5, but on the shelves behind the window there was a team full of heart, a team that knew how to work and compete. A team that was a mere nine points away from a conference MO S98 A ??? __ championship and five points from a tie. Now that the 1980 season is only memories in the minds of all those involv- ed in the program, a look toward the next season is in order. Those memories are both good and bad, but most of all, the one memory all will remember is the loss of the superior senior class. With the help of the 41 returning lettermen, the Ball State Car- dinals hope to improve upon the 1980 season and plan on coming into the 1981 season with hopes of walking out with a Mid-American Conference Champioship. A MAC championship could take the mighty Cardinals to California in late December or early January, because the winner of the 1981 MAC Conference would get a bid in the newly developed California Bowl.0 E a Feeling the exhaustion of a football game, Steve Nelson (21) takes a break on the bench. -- photo by F.A.

Scrambling and fighting over empty seats is a common sight, but for all of those who push and shove to view the game, there are others who choose their spot strategically. These people look for the sight where there is plenty of action, be it the fifty yardline, the center of the court, or the front row. Their presence at the event is not to avoid another boring afternoon, nor is it to pass the bottle down the aisle. For close to two hours they will survive on a diet of canned soda pop and the thrill of athletic competition. Their rewards may consist of nothing more than the clash of shoulder pads, the swoosh of a hoop, the splash from a dive, or the enjoyment of a sideshow of cheerleaders and majorettes. They are wil- ling to pay the price of losing their voices and are not afraid of “commenting” on a referee’s questionable decision. Phrases like “Down in front,” “Kick ’em in the head, kick ’em in the knee,” and “One, two, three, kill the referee,” are intergral parts of their vocabularies. These people can be categorized as loyal Cardinal fans. The number of actually loyal fans in 1981 was a small one. The first basketball pep rally for winter quarter consisted of 29 persons who were not required to be there because of team affiliation. Therefore, it would seem that the clique of loyal fans was a dying breed. What did it take to be a member of this small but unique group? For Steve Pavalak, Ball State transporta- tion employee heralded as Ball State foot- ball’s most dedicated fan, being a loyal spectator meant attending each Cardinal football game, whether home or away, in his recreational vehicle. Pavalak and his wife, Ellen, have never missed a football game since 1965. Pavalak mentioned, “Whether the game is in Alabama or Loui- siana we go. We kind of adopt the players and follow their progress through their years here.” On a less eccentric scale, Indianapolis freshman Liz Pfeifer commented, “A dedicated fan needs to have a knowledge of the sport he is watching, have no fear of weather, and be able to sing the Ball State Loyal Fans = fight song verse for verse, something many people around here don’t seem to know.” Jefferson City sophomore David Avedon opposed, “I attend a university to further may education--to study. I’m not here to yell and scream for any team. | Although the bleachers were an awkward obstacle to Steve McCue, Fort Wayne freshman, they didn’t dampen his spirit as a Cardinal fan. --photo by Frank A. Phillips Jr. Participation was a vital characteristic of loyal fans. They shouted, whistled, cheered and booed their way through home games. --photo by Robert Bridges think it’s a crime that part of our general fees automatically goes to the Athletic Department without our consent, regardless of whether we can attend games at home for free because of it.” The trait common to all fans who con- sider themselves dedicated spectators was pride, a pride in a certain athletic team and pride in the school that team represented and reflected back upon. They also recognized and respected the dedication needed to compete as a collegiate athlete, both the physical talent and the pressure due to the many controversies associated with collegiate athletics. “It’s true we don’t have many loyal fans, but the ones we have are exactly that-- loyal. They can’t change anything out there on the floor, but by being there they are a psychological advantage. When I see one person at a meet who could be out partying or studying instead, it might as well be one hundred. They may not know it, but by being there they mean a lot, and I think my performance can reflect that,” stated Ball State gymnast Greg O’Leary. As long as there are intercollegiate or in- tramural athletics at Ball State there will be spectators for the events. Numbers will vary, seating will be uncomfortable, and Ball State will remain a member of the M.A.C. But along with it all, seated on the bleacher while sipping his soda pop will be the loyal Cardinal fan joining in another chorus of “Ball-you!

Phillips, Jr. Marching Band [he Painand Pride Of Staying in Step Practices, band camps, and constant learning of steps all contribute to the suc- cess of the Ball State Marching Band and the demise of poor feet. “The Pride of Mid- America” consists of 200 instrumentalists, rifles, flags, twirlers and cardettes who con- stantly practice to better themselves. That means 400 sore feet. They began their season of hard work in late August with a three day band camp. At this camp they learned the fundamentals of marching and a variety of marching shows. All these long, hot hours of work building up to that first show, which opens the new season. Even without much praise or reward, the marching band continues their work. They perform for every home football game, pep rally, and one away game dur- ing each season. Homecoming is their big- gest event of the year, even though many of their weekends are spent hosting special events. Some of the events they host are routines for visiting bands, band day ac- tivities for high school bands, and a parents’ day program. Of all these ac- tivities, the favorite of the band is the trip to the away football game. They make this trip to another school in the Mid-American Conference. The “away trip” made in the 1980 season was to, Bowling Green. “The Pride” traveled under the field direction of John Cook, and Norwell and Cheresa Johnson. On this trip, in front of the Bowl- ing Green crowd, they performed such selections as: “They’re Playing Our Song,” “Oklahoma Crude,” Glen Miller’s “In the Mood,” and “Beethoven’s Symphony No. Pe “The away trip is a sort of escape from long hours of rehearsal in Muncie. The trip gives people a chance to get to know each other better and perform for a crowd other than the bi-partisan home crowd,” said Joellen Brandon, senior band member. The one issue that upsets the band is the fact that they receive no physical education credit for all the hours of work they put in. After three years of submitting proposals to get the band these credit hours, all is at a stand still. The seniors, however, do recieve an award for all their rehearsal hours--a red and white wool band blanket. When asked about the benefits the band provides, Don Rhynard, freshman from Valparaiso, said, “It helps me budget my time and build more mature and lasting relationships.” The conclusion of another successful season means the equipment will be turn- ed in or packed away to “collect dust” until the next August. Then, once again, “The Pride” will begin rehearsals for another season of learning, fun, friendship, enter- tainment, and good times. Not to mention the sore feet.0 ——————— From way up in the stands, the precision of the Ball State Marching Band is seen in its full ef- fect.

Purdue Sticking it Out by Julie Widdifield beretteiie her team’s defensive skills was the primary goal of first year Women’s Field Hockey Coach Karen Fitzpatrick this past season. It paid off. Of their 11 wins, the Cardinals took seven shutouts. Their record for the year was 11-10. “From the beginning we needed to work on defense,” Fitzpatrick said. “We stayed cool those times we needed to and made improvements.” “The number of goals scored against us decreased this year,” Fitzpatrick con- tinued. “Last year we had 36 goals scored against us. This year it was only 26.” The Cardinals Scored 41 goals against their op- ponents, averaging 1.86 goals per game. Senior right-link Sally Williams was a strong defensive team factor. “We never won without her leadership in defense,” Fitzpatrick said. “Her flick helped us on free hits and got the ball down the field.” Another senior who was an important defensive factor to the team was sweeper Linda Huhnke. “Linda had a difficult role to play at sweeper. It was a new ex- perience for her,” Fitzpatrick said. “She had a really nice game against Pur- due at state. She showed a lot of leader- ship, encouraging effective and more ag- gressive playing,” F itzpatrick said. “The position takes a lot of timing and it many times calls for a one-on-one situation. You have to know when to make the tackle.” The team’s “biggest asset,” according to Fitzpatrick, was senior center-link DeeDee Pflum who finished with four goals. “She Field Hockey was always hustling which helps in her middle (center-link) position,” Fitzpatrick said. “Her aggressiveness carried over in her passing and stick work.” Offense was a strong point for the Car- dinals. Only seven losses were shutouts. Four of these losses were 1-0 games. Sophomore center-forward Mary Lou Brazee was “valuable in the scoring end,” Fitzpatrick said. “Near the end of the season, when her knees started bothering her, she was not as effective in carrying the ball down. She would have scored a good amount more if her knees hadn’t bothered her.” Brazee was leading scoring this year with 18 goals. In 1979 the top scorer was Laurie Young with 16, followed by Brazee with seven. Among Brazee’s accomplishments this season was getting two hat tricks (scor- ing three goals in one game). Her first was after scoring three goals against Earlham to aid in a shutout 4-0 win. Her second hat trick came against Eastern Michigan when she scored all five goals in another shutout win. Kathy Kemper, left-link, took a hat trick as one of her accomplishments for the season and was second leading scorer with seven goal. Her three goals came against Notre Dame in the final dual of the season. “Pat Huble and Kemper worked hard on a passing play; they perfected twice in that game,” Fitzpatrick said. Both junior right-halfback Consuelo Fry and junior left-wing Brenda Hills made a lot of overall improvements, Fitzpatrick said. Two of the Cardinals best games were Western Michigan Central Michigan DePauw Marion Goshen Michigan Notre Dame Purdue CHRORWAH EH ONUARCOOHRHENNUHD NNNTOCOCWNHHOCOHHUONBRHOON OQ against Purdue. The second time they fac- ed the Boilermakers the final score was 1-0 in favor of Purdue. Their final match of the season was the IAIAW state tournament. They lost 2-0 to Purdue after two over- times. “Both times we had a little more con- fidence believing in ourselves as a good team,” Fitzpatrick said. “Knowing Purdue was a good team, we went out with the at- titude that we had as good a shot as anyone else to beat them.” Fitzpatrick hopes to get strong recruits for next year in order to build the field hockey program. She also intends to pre- vent her team from playing down to the poorer teams, she said. “This year we had ups and downs,” Fitzpatrick said. “We played well to teams like Purdue, Indiana, and Indiana State and then let down against the weaker teams by not playing as well.” Fitzpatrick came to Ball State after coaching the Cherry Hill East High School (New Jersey) field hockey team to a state championship and an undefeated (18-0-l) season in 1979. The women’s Junior Varsity team finish- ed their season at 2-1 with both wins being shutouts. The team beat Earlham twice, 3- 0 and 1-0. The Cardinals lost to Indiana State University 0-1. High scorer for the J.V. team was freshman Kim Martin who scored two goals against Earlham. Martin also scored four varsity goals. Sandy Eppert and Robin Finley had one goal a piece.

But, said Coach Steve Cooksey, the team has much to look forward to for next year. The Cardinals finished last in the Mid- American Conference meet, but there were some positive spots. Sophomore Doug McKee was the first Ball State runner to cross the finish line. The next Cardinal to finish was junior Jay Conway, followed by sophomore Jim Castetter. The fifth man was freshman Kirk Price. Although the team didn’t have a lot of trophies and wins to boast about, they do have quite a bit of potential for future years. “Youth has to be one of our greatest assets,” Cooksey said. “We’ve got prac- tically everyone coming back. We have a couple of guys who will be eligible next year who should help us.” The one man who will not come back is team captain and top runner Dave Kemps. Kemps finished 52nd in the MAC race but was running on a bad ankle. The Blackford senior finished first for Ball State in every meet but one.

In- juries, once overlooked as spectators and coaches focused all their attention to the game itself, are now receiving almost as much attention as the game itself. Injured player lists are almost as important as rosters. The athletic or team trainer has recently become a very valuable part of the success or failure of every team.

Each do their part towards preventing injuries. To aid in the healing of injuries, there are whirlpools and other physical therapy techniques. Daily attention is given to athletes by the trainer. He monitors the injury from the time it occurs until the time the injury is healed and the player can return to action. Head Trainer Don Vogelsgang is respon- sible for the men’s intercollegiate sports and Andrea Seger attends to the women athletes. Sports medicine and the athletic trainer have become very prominant parts of modern sports. Whether it be high school, college or professional athletes, an injury can be very detrimental to the entire team. This justifies the continued emphasis being placed on sports medicine today.

Coached by Jerry McManama, they started the season out strong with two vic- tories over Purdue and St. Francis. Then the Cardinals came up against a rival Ohio State and were defeated. This game had extra significance for the team because Ohio State was coached by Al Biance, a former Ball State player. They then went on to lose their next two contests against Miami University and Toledo. The kickers were then able to string together four vic- tories over Wright State, Central Michigan, Grace, and Northern Illinois. The Car- dinals then were defeated by Indiana Tech in one game of a long series which the Car- dinals dominated 15-3. Their next contest was to be one of the toughest of the season; they faced Bowling Green whom they had not beaten in nine previous tries. The Cardinals once again came out with the lower score, being shut out 5-0. Ball State then faced their stiffest com- petition of the year when nationally ranked Indiana University visited Muncie. IU was ranked number one in the Midwest at the time of the contest and the kickers were prepared for the challenge. The game did not go as well as the team had anticipated and the breaks all went for the Hoosiers. The final score of 5-0 did not fairly show the effort put forth by the Cardinal kickers and they left the field disappointed. They rounded out the season in November with a tie against Illinois. The final record for the 1980 season was six wins, six losses and one tie. This wasn’t an improvement on the 1979 record, but the season still had many bright spots. Throughout the season the team lost four of their six games by two goals or less and did finish with a 50 percent win loss record. They were led in goals by Greg Ruark, an Indiana senior, with a total of seven for the season. Ruark also added two assists for the Cardinals despite suffer- ing through an injury-plagued season. “Our offense really dropped off when he was out, so he played with leg injuries all year,” McManama revealed. “He never complained but just went out and did what he could do, even if it was only half- speed.” He was followed in scoring by Raphael Gardiner, Evanston, Ill. junior, who scored six goals for the season. Along with his two goals he had two assists. The key member of the defensive unit was Chris Hough, an Illinois senior, and a top- notch defender. He was voted Most Valuable Player of the 1980 Soccer Team by his teammates. “We really couldn’t ever pull Chris out of the game because of his value to us at the sweeper position,” McManama explained. “This year was definitely his best year of play for us.” He helped Ball State set team records for most consecutive shutouts (three) and most shutouts in a season plus the third lowest goals-against average (1.3) in the school’s history. McManama also announced that Greg Ruark and Steve Platt were selected honorary co-captains of the Ball State kickers. “I couldn’t say which season was Platt’s best, because he was so consistent all during his career,” McManama noted. “He was there when things needed to be done.” So even though the overall record didn’t show improvement over last season the individual efforts were more than enough to get the few fans at the games in- terested in Cardinal soccer.

Experience seemed to be one of the problems for the men’s swimming team this year. The team was composed of a mere two seniors, and had to develop their underclassmen into top notched swim- mers. The team did make an improvement from the 1979-80 season in which they had one win and thirteen losses. They finished out the 1980-81 season with a final record of four wins and seven losses. When asked about the improvement Steve Schafer, St. Louis freshman, responded, “The up- perclassmen swam better and with the ad- dition of many fine young recruits, there was depth added to the team.” Even though the final record didn’t show a successful season for coach Bob Thomas and his assistant Drew Pringle, the team did improve. Coach Thomas is presently in the process of building his young team into contenders and showing a steady stream of improvement on the way. “One of the big- gest plusses for the year was the fact that we are one of the youngest teams in the MAC and we can only get better,” responded Schaffer. In the freestyle events the team was led by two men, Dennis Kruse and co-captain Mike Ricketts. Ricketts had the best marks in the 50 freestyle and the 100 freestyle.

According to Thomas, the team strengths are in the distance freestyle events, with improvements being made in most other events. The 200 and 400 yard individual medley was led by freshmen Don Mac- Donald. MacDonald also led in the 100 and 200 backstroke. Steve Keller, freshman, was top man for the team in the 100 butterfly and second in the 200 butterf- ly. The 200 butterfly event was led by veteran Jeff Shoupe. The 100 and 200 backstroke was led by co-captain John Voorhees, who was also a member of the 400 medley relay and the 400 freestyle relay. In the diving competition Mark Ed- dington led the one-meter diving and was second in the three-meter diving. While Chip Weiss, another freshman, was first in- dividually in the three-meter diving and se- cond in the one-meter diving. Because of the fact that the team is so young and will only be losing two of their swimmers the years to come look good. “We will continue to learn and grow and that was the reason for the improvement over last season. If everyone improves in the next couple of years, then we will con- tinue to better our record,” according to Jonkind.0 Men’s Swimming Won 4, Lost 7 BSS OF Illionis State Relays 8th of 10 Eastern Illinois 49 63 Valparaiso 78 35 Purdue 52 61 Toledo 79 34 Indiana State 52 61 Wabash 75 27 Miami 50 63 Northern Illinois 64 49 Ohio 49 64 Bradley 46 67 Eastern Michigan 47 ce After completing the event this swimmer anx- iously awaits his time. --photo by Terry Clark Men’s Swimming Front Row:Rob Drakes, Mike Ricketts, Dennis Kr use, Mark Edgington, John Voorhees, Leo Jongkind, Jim Gendron, Mike Lewis.

However, it is not always a necessity as the women’s swim- ming and diving team proved this season. Seventeen of the 35 team members were freshmen. The theme of this year’s young team was records are made to be broken, which is exactly what the lady Cardsharks did. Twelve individual records were broken, all by freshmen. Coach Laura Seibold, who is in her se- cond year of coaching at BSU, was happy with her team’s dual meet season. “The level of swimming has improved quite drastically over the years. Our records show that,” she said. The lady Cardsharks finished their dual meet season at 9-5. Part of the reason for their improvement over last year’s 4-8-1 record was that the team kept within their limits this year by only swimming against Mid-American Conference teams. “We swam within our conference this year to keep within the level of competition we were concerned with,” Seibold said. The strategy paid off as the Cardsharks won the state meet by 559 points. The lady Cardsharks finished seventh in the MAC, breaking three individual and one relay record.

However, there were several bright spots, most notably Don Mappes at 158 pounds who capped his senior year with a second place finish in the conference anda record of 20-7-1. Mappes, who qualified for the NCAA finals, won the Southwestern Open and the Redskin Open and finished his career in top ten all- time Cardinal win list. Other top performers for Ball State in- cluded Doug Dake (177) who set a Car- dinal freshman record with 23 wins, Senior Wrestling 5h — SPORTS Pinned Down Season Harry Bown (142) who took third in the conference and junior Ron Meade and senior Jim Armour who both placed fourth in the MAC. Samuels experienced troubles before the season even began when he lost his three best returning wrestlers. Craig Newburg, who wrestled in the heavyweight division, was held back this year in order to save a year of eligibility. Dave Delong, who wrestled in the 126 Ib. division, transferred to Indiana and Steve Babyak, a wrestler in the 142 Ib. class, left school. The three had combined for almost 70 wins the previous year. The Cardinals had only two meets before Christmas and split them, losing the Northern Illinois 32-9 and beating Miami 23-16. After break Ball State journeyed west and were blasted by Arizona State, the nation’s fifth ranked team, 48-0 and by California Bakersfield, number one in the college division, 31-14. The schedule did not ease up when the Cardinals returned to the Midwest when they ran into the nation’s 15th ranked team, Ohio State, and lost 27-19. They also lost to Northwestern 29-12 before finishing second to Ohio State in the Redskin Open. Eastern Illionois, ranked second in the college division, came to Muncie and handed the Cardinals their fifth straight loss 25-15. It was during this meet that 150 pounder Ron Baker was lost for the re- mainder of the season, first with an injured elbow and then a leg problem. The losing streak ended against Bowling Green at home when Ball State prevailed 33-13. Then followed three consecutive lackluster performances that saw the Car- dinals lose 38-6 to Indiana, 45-6 to Michigan and 32-12 to Central Michigan. However, the Cardinals ended the regular season on a positive note by beating Lake Superior State 171-16 and Western Michigan 40-8.

Womens Basketball iff Paes PORT. A Deflated Season by Scott Harper Bi State womens basketball coach Debbie Powers said she was disappointed with the team’s 9-14 record because she honestly felt the team would do much bet- ter. “There were a lot of disappointments and there were some positive things also. Our biggest disappointment was our 29- point loss to Indiana University to finish the season.” Powers said. “Any time you lose by that many points to a state rival, it leaves a bad taste in your mouth.” Powers said she wasn’t sure how much of the team’s record reflected on her absense of the final six weeks. “You lose some consistancy when you switch coaches,” Powers said. “My assis- tant coach Chris Pritchard, did an excellent job, though, taking over in my absence. She just did a super job.” Powers said she feels Ball State’s schedule is very tough, but the girls want to play the best teams which is why she hasn’t scheduled easier teams. “Next year I expect better things from my girls. We only lose two seniors and | have my eye on some recruits, so we should improve greatly.” Powers said. Powers added the girls want to do well next year because Ball State hosts the Mid- American Conference Tournament next year. “The top eight schools compete in the tournament, so we hope to be right in the thick of things.” Powers hopes that certain individuals will improve over the summer to make Ball State competitive in next year’s tourna- ment. She pointed out Shelly Silk, Jayne Emkes and Lisa Senters as the top players for next year. She also said she hoped her two freshmen would come along over the summer. “One of our biggest downfalls is our own gym. When recruits come to Ball State and walk into Ball Gym it’s a turn off. It’s just bad for the entire program.” Powers said. Powers said she would like to play more games at University Gym. She said of all the gymnasiums that Ball State plays at, Ball Gym is the worst one. She said she hopes to be able to schedule more games at University Gym in the future. “Our over-all goal for now is to improve on the Mid-American record and the overall record,” Powers said. “We just have to keep building our confidence and build up our weaknesses. If we can do that, we'll have a strong team next year.”0 Sophomore Lisa Johnson ignores ‘her Notre Dame foes as she aims for a basket. --photo by Robert Bridges : Ray McCallum shows his skills as he dribbles around a defender. --photo by Robert Bridges Out dribbling his defenders is an art mastered by John Williams. --photo by Robert Bridges _ Gy a Taking Home the Big MAC MAC by JoeHernandez st” Joe Hernandez Bai the backing of enthusiastic crowds the whole year through, the Cardinals started th 1980-81 basketball season. The season began on November 29, 1980 with a six-point loss to the National Champions, Indiana University. The season ended with a three point loss at the hands of Boston College in the NCAA tournament. The road that stretched from that first game to the last one in Tuscaloosca, Alabama was a hard fought battle At the Cardinal helm for the fourth year, Coach Steve Yoder developed a record- breaking basketball team. It was record- breaking in terms of attendance, and the winning of the MAC championship, enabl- ing them to play in the NCAA tournament. The Cardinals began on a good note, despite the loss to I.U. It was a game in which Yoder considered “a test to see if we could compete at that level, if not where were we, and how much work did we néed. This game gave the players the con- fidence that they needed and showed us we could play with a lot of teams.” So the team set out for the twenty-six games, scheduled for the regular season, with hopes of gaining that coveted NCAA berth. As Yoder stated, “We just set a goal to be a participant in the NCAA tourna- ment. This was our realistic goal and something we could accomplish. It was just continued 60 Basketball SPORTS a . 4 ri Be 4 = TheBigMAC going to take hard work and some breaks.” On the home court, the team fared very well. They compiled a record of fourteen wins and one loss. The widest margin of vic- tory coming in the second game of the season, which was their first home ap- pearance. After coming home from the good showing with I.U. the Cardinals displayed their confidence as they exploded against Ferris State 96-63. The team was balanced in scoring, as this marked the only time all year that all fourteen players con- | tributed in the team scoring. The sole defeat | of the season came at the midway point of the season as Western Michigan defeated the Cardinals by one point in overtime. The Cardinals won a record-breaking 20 games overall with 14 of them at home. “These 14 victories in the 15 games at home were won because you have people in th2 stands pulling for you. In those close games, you have to have the support of the student body,” stated Yoder. “The defeat of Toledo, in a must-win situation, which must have been the turning point of the season was our biggest home victory. Another bright spot was in the game against Miami when we defeted them with one second re- maining on the clock. If we had not won this game, which could have gone either way, the whole outlook on the season might have changed,” he said. The story was totally opposite on the road as the Cardinals tallied up a mere four wins in twelve games. Their biggest point margin loss away came against Bradley University. The Bradley Braves handed a defeat to the Cardinals by a 33-point margin. “We strug- gled on the road, and we hit a lull period. We had an opportunity to win a couple of games, and we lost,” stated Yoder. Some of the major road victories, ac- cording to Yoder, were the consecutive wins over a strong Northern Illinoes team and then defeating Miami. Also, after Western Michigan defeated the Cardinals at home, the team bounced back and beat them by 5 points on their home court. “Even though Miami has not been a real strong team lately, they are always tough at home,” stated Yoder. Yoder accredited a lot of the huge success at home to the loyal fans. “The students are starting to be able to identify with the players and are becoming loyal to the club.

When asked Ann Arbor and “For the distance, we had a super support. It would about the support at Tuscaloosca, Yoder responded, have been unreasistic for us to believe we could have had any more.” Besides the fact that this was Ball State’s first MAC championship in basketball, and the first time they made it to the NCAA, they also had other records. three attendance records shattered this past season. Records for attendance at home, on the road, and the overall crowd for the Besides these, there were also individual achievements. Jeff Williams set a school record by appearing in 108 games over his career. Senior Al Gooden also set a new Ball State standard in career field goal percentage and two- season field goal percentage. When John Williams scored 39 points against Central Michigan, that tied him for seventh place on the all-time single contest effort in Ball State history. It was also the most points by a MAC player in one outing this season. Ray McCallum and George Bradley became the tenth and eleventh players in Ball State history to collect 1000 There were season. many Phe points. McCallum presently ranks 10th in career scoring with 1016 points and Bradley eleventh with 1010 points. The Ball State outstanding campaign ended with a loss in the first round of the NCAA tournament at Tuscaloosca, Alabama. The season ended with a 20-10 overall record and a 10-6 record in the con- ference. Victories were recorded at Ann Ar- bor after the Cardinals won the first round of the MAC tournament at Ball State. At Ann Arbor, Toledo fell to Ball State in the semi- finals and Northern Illinois was crushed by 13 points giving the Cardinals the cherished NCAA berth. Overall, the season was very satisfying for the team, but the 1981-82 season looks to be even brighter. With eight players returning and the addition of transfer students who will gain their elgibility the future looks bright. The question is going to be whether or not any new players will be able to come up with the same EOE as last year’s players. The Ball State basketball teams in the future will now have a successful season in which they will have to match. A tradition has been set for the Cardinal basketball teams for years to come.

The wood paneling peeked out from behind the wallpaper of plaques, player photos, maps, and court diagrams. Ball State basketball coach Steve Yoder took a few minutes out from the paperwork on his desk and the recruits in his lounge to discuss what a Mid-American Conference Championship really means. “My initial reactions were just happiness and joy,” said Yoder. “When something happens that never has happened to you before, it takes a while to settle down and realize what you’ve accomplished,” he said. “Winning the conference championship doesn’t make me_ better than anybody else. If just makes me proud of an ac- complishment.” Ball State had several other ac- complishments besides beating Ohio University, Toledo and Northern Illinois to clench the MAC Conference Champion- ship. The NCAA tournament appearance was the first Division One post-season tournament ever for Ball State basketball. The 20-10 final record was the most wins ever accumulated in one season for the Cardinals. The MAC Championship was the first conference title in 25 years of con- ference competition for the roundballers. And Ball State defeated the University of Toledo, a feat the Cards had been unable to do since 1938, twice in one season. “It kind of snuck up on everybody else, but it was something we’d been building for,” said the fourth year Cardinal coach. “When we went to Ann Arbor we had the best record of all the teams there. We knew we had the best team. We just had to After the Mid-American Conference win at Ann Arbor, John Williams cuts down the net.

Winning the conference championship doesn’t make me any better than anybody else. It just makes me proud of an accomplishment,” said Yoder. Seniors Jeff Williams, George Bradley, Al Gooden and Clement Murrell were members of Yoder’s first recruiting class. They were also members of Yoder’s first championship team. “Obviously the year you remember best is your senior year. Looking back on this year the senior will be able to see all that they’ve accomplished,” said Yoder. “It will be nice to remember representing your school in the NCAA tournament,” said Yoder. “For the rest of the team it really presents a challenge to repeat and do bet- ter. If they can do that then they’ll start to establish tradition. Athletics are one thing everyone can identify with. Athletics may not be the most important part of a univer- sity, but they are something many people see as representing a university,” said Yoder. “I'm not really sure how much winning the conference helps with recruiting, but it sure can’t hurt. | think it really reflects positively on Ball State, in general. “It makes Ball State alumni proud to say they went to school here. When alumni from other schools talk about their teams-- well, you don’t have to be a closet case anymore,” he said. The members of the MAC Champion- ship will receive championship rings as part of the winners’ spoils. Memories, eee = ee newspaper clippings and the rings will help remind the players of the Cardinal cham- pionship team, but Yoder felt the players had gained more than these things. “You hear a lot of rhetoric about athletes needing self-discipline, but that’s true in every part of life. I’m not saying every basketball player who can_ discipline himself here can do it after school, but | think it helps,” said Yoder. “If he can remember the discipline and hard work he’s put in here, then he’s going to make it.” --photo by Brian Tombaugh : z 375] Basketball ae In the first game of the Mid-American Con- ference championship tournament, two Toledo players attempt to block a lay-up by Ray McCallum. --photo by Brian Tombaugh During the regular season play, George Bradley tries to shoot past his Ohio State opponents. -- photo by Brian Tombaugh With his shooting and rebounding, Al Gooden was one of the four seniors that led the Car- dinals to the NCAA tournament.

Yet at the end of the year most of them ie escape with nothing more serious than a dislocated shoulder or elbow. According to Don Vogelge- sand, h ead trainer of Men’s Athletics, the incidence of serious injuries at Ball State is surprisingly low compared to other colleges. The most com- mon injuries to be reported and treated at the Training Room are first degree injuries such as muscle and tendon sprains and ankle sprains. There have been only two injuries requiring surgery reported. The old theory that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure is the foundation behind this good record. Before an athlete is allowed to train for any major sport, he must be checked by an orthopedic surgeon and pass a leg-strength test. If he is found to be weak, he must go through a condi- tioning program to prepare him for his specific sport. If he has a history of knee injuries, then he is not allowed to train at all. By far the two most dangerous sports in the col- legiate circuit are football and wrestling. Football leads with the most injuries per season with approximately 290 occurr- ing during the fall season. These injuries range from bruises and lacerations all the way to knee injuries. Wrestling has the most serious injuries such as dislocated shoulders. It also has more injuries per person that any other sport. Last year there were 76 reported injuries on the 35-man team.

Brian Tennyson, Evansville freshman and varsity golfer, feels his individual score is more important than the team score. “How can the team do well if I don’t contribute a good score first?” Tennyson said. “Therefore I must emphasize importance on my score before I can even think about the team score.” Brooke Bauer, Glenview, Ill. freshman, said that to her, div- ing is a very individual sport.

Freshman gymnast Tina Leestma agreed with Tennyson and Bauer on satisfying herself before anything else. “Although the final score is a team score, you're always thinking about your individual score first. | want to do well in- dividually first, then if it helps the team, fine,” Leestma said. Tennyson, Bauer and Leestma all felt they liked the pressure encountered when competing individually. They said they did not mind the idea of taking all the glory or on the other hand suffering the entire burden. “When I do well, it’s very self rewarding,” Bauer said. “On the other hand, if I do poorly I can very easily find out why.

In a team sport I wouldn't be able to feel satisfied,” Leestma said. Bauer and Tennyson also said they feel some consolation if they do well even though the team may have lost. All three athletes said they liked the idea of having all the pressure on them individually rather than depending on the team to do well also. They also agreed that their individual scores come first, then the team’s. The sport with the individual competing only for himself creates a lot of pressure. These athletes and others like them have a certain drive that brings out the best in them, even under extreme pressure.U yh Individual Sports During the Homecom- ing parade, the pom- pon girls exemplify their | spirit for the team. -- | photo by Robert | Bridges ‘Gees cheerleaders received the first | place spirit award at Virginia Tech. Cheerleaders Not All Fun and Games | “by Joe Hernandez I here is one special group of young men and women who are LL tthe dedicated to the Ball State football and basket- ball teams throughout the season. These people are often overlooked and denied the credit they definitely deserve. These people are the cheerleading squads, who operate under the guidance of Judy Abrahamson, assistant director of student affairs. There are two separate squads for the two major sports, both consisting of eight men and eight women. Twelve of these sixteen are regulars and the other four are alternates and only cheer for the home games. The work of those who cheer for the football team starts in March when they are selected through a series of tryouts. Those who are elected to represent the Cardinal squad attend a few camps through the summer to prepare themselves for the season. In 1980 the squad attended the Universal Cheerleaders Association Col- lege Camp held on the Virginia Tech campus in Blacksburg, Virginia. At this camp the squad was the winner of the overall spirit award, defeating 49 college cheerleading squads who attended. Capturing the spirit award is considered a significant honor since it is awarded by the members of the other squads. According to Judy Abrahamson, this award goes to the team which exhibits and generates the most en- thusiasm and pep during the camp. The Ball State cheerleaders were also awarded four first place ribbons, one at the end of each day. These rib- bons were given out by the camp staff instructors who rated the cheerleaders’ ability and daily performance of cheers. Bill Gromer, Cambridge City senior, was awarded the spirit stick for his role as Charlie Car- dinal. A separate group is then selected for the basketball season, but there are no camps for these cheerleaders to at- tend. Some of the cheerleaders cheer for both sports which re- quires a lot of time and effort. One of these few cheerleaders that did particpate in both sports was Libby Patino, In- dianapolis sophomore. “I just couldn’t sit and watch the games from the stands. I had to be a part of the team,” she said. “It’s worth the practice twice a week for two hours, plus the extra time we put in. | think it’s been a worthwhile ex- BROS ge perience, especially with the MAC tournament victories. though we have to work at it for about four months, I have doesn’t get much recognition doesn’t seem to bother them That made the season even enjoyed it very much, and | that much, even though they ef more enjoyable,” she said. think the larger crowds at the wish they would receive some 4 One of the cheerleaders who | basketball games have made it physical education credit hours _ ri chose to only cheer for one more exciting,” he said.

Tom- 5 eing in the NCAA, MAC and AIAW forces Ball State women’s sports to follow three sets of rules Womens Sports by Joe Hernandez Pise are many subjects, when talking about sports, that are controversial. Some of the biggest controver- sies here at Ball State are the problems in which womens sports encounter. The biggest problem in womens sports at the present time is that of the 1972 government legislation, which says women should receive equally as much finan- cial assistance as men. This legislation is Title IX. The women at Ball State only receive 21 percent of the total athletic budget, 19 percent which is used for grants and aids and is given back to the students. The womens teams can now give full tuition grants, but these are unlike the mens full tuition grants where men athletes receive free room and board, books, etc. . . . One benefit women have concerning their scholarships is that if they participate and make satisfac- tory progress in their grades, they can automatically have their scholarship renewed. A big advantage that the women at Ball State have over the other schools in the MAC is that they have a Director of Womens Intercollegiate Athletics. Coranell “Corky” Rossow is the person who holds that position, and she is the only female athletic director in the conference that is not an assistant to the Mens Athletic Director. The one other school that has a position similar to Rossow’s is Bowling Green where they have the title of Director of Minor Sports. The Ball State womens teams were voted into the MAC against their will. Representatives from other MAC colleges voted to include Ball State in the conference, although a Ball State represen- tative voted against this measure. This action just added to the problems they already had. Once they were voted into the MAC, the next step was that they were voted into the NCAA, again against their will. It was believed that the only reason the NCAA wanted Ball State was for the possible television revenue. However this just added to the complica- tions of rules in women sports, because they then had three sets of rules to play by. They had the MAC, AIAW, and NCAA to answer to, and if they followed one set of rules they weren’t in compliance with the other two. So the question of what rules to go by was a matter they had to decide. One solution being discussed was to combine the NCAA and AIAW and to form a new organiza- tion. Besides these complicating problems, there are many Less Than Their Fair Share? others that women athletes have to encounter everyday. Among these is practicing in the old Ball Gymnasium instead of University Gym. One of the problems with Ball Gym during the volleyball season is the height of the gym. During a match, the ball frequently hits the ceiling of the gym, and the ball must be put back into play. Lack of equipment also seemed to be a problem a few years ago, but that is one area that is now getting better. The Womens gymnastics team is now getting the proper mats and other safety equipment for their competition. This is not only necessary, but it enhances the program, therefore, draw- ing better team prospects. However, still to some extent today when a womens team One girls basketball fan pulls herself away from her reading to make sure her team is still in the lead. --photo by Robert Bridges 382 Fron MAGAZINE N | LY ow that womens sports are getting the proper equip- ment, they are at- tracting better team prospects has to go out on the road, it has to pay for its own meals and has to suffer with poor housing, while on the road. The women also suffer through a limited schedule and the problem of not having many home meets. Even though womens sports looks dismal in the eyes of many, they are proving to become as popular as mens sports. A few years ago women athletes were having even more problems than they do today. With con- tinued improvement, womens sports may be able to eliminate problems now facing them and continue to grow as they have in the past few years.

Ball State students and facul- ty can participate in anything . from basketball and football to soccer and track. Splashketball, horseshoes, snooker, frisbee and the Mr. Ball State body building contest are just a few possibilities. Forty-eight different sports are sanctioned by the in- tramural office. “In the future I'd like to add inner tube water polo. It is very popular out West and | think it would be good,” said Kovell. While some teams warm up with drills and exercises, others prefer Jack Daniels and a six pack. Some teams wear uniforms that flaunt sponsors and organizations, but others play shirts and skins. Some teams play to win and some play just to be playing. “Most teams are competing for the relaxation and fun, but there are some teams that still play to win. There are a lot of athletes from high school who still want the competition,” said Kovell. “A lot of teams put a lot of time and effort into practicing and even have set plays,” said Greg Walker, one of the ap- proximately 200 student of- ficials. Competition is divided into four divisions: residence hall, fraternity, sorority and indepen- dent. In some sports the divi- sions are further divided to pro- vide closer competition. Divi- sion and University champions are determined by play-offs. Not only is there variety in sports, but in team personalities and names, as well.

This, however, could be an understatement. Club sports are organized, led, operated and financed solely by the players or participants on the team. The purpose of the club, then, is to have fun. The club teams, such as Lacrosse, Frisbee, Rugby and Hockey, are responsible for themselves. All the equipment is paid for by its members, transportation is provided by its members, the schedule is made out by its members and coaching is performed by its members. The University only provides a club with “space.” “Ball State gives a space to play and prac- tice on,” Kurt Wiebe, rugby team member said. “They also mark the fields. If it rains we can’t use it, though, so that we don’t tear it up,” he added. Wiebe added that it is a pro- blem when a team travels to Muncie only to be told, “I’m sorry, you'll have to go back because our field is wet.” The clubs are thankful for the space, but they say that you can’t run a competitive team on just that. Requests for transportation aid are turned down by the University because of “legalities.” “There is no help with transportation costs by the University.” said Cindy McHone, commodore of the sailing club. “Just to use a University van takes a legal process,” she said. Raymond Louthen, director of men’s intercollegiate sports, said, “If the University provides finances, then we must provide responsibility. If we provide a coach, equipment, or finances, then we are legally responsible for the students.” Another added expense for the club sports is outfitting the team, and equipment isn’t cheap. “It costs about $100 to outfit one lacrosse player,” said James. That includes a helmet, face mask, gloves, arm guards, jersey, shoes and a stick. The cost is paid by the individual or some nice person who decides to play benefactor. “A problem we have with our club team is getting com- mitments from guys,” said ice hockey captain Steve Naranjo. “We have to travel to and from Anderson College for practice, and we play our games in In- dianapolis. Also it is funded by us and a lot of people do not want to dish out the money,” he said. Some clubs such as the frisbee club use their one dollar dues to buy their only needed items - frisbees. The Sailing Club, on the other hand, has to sponsor a plant sale and other projects to pay for their sail boats. McHone said that they raise money for boats costing $2000 per hull and about $250 for sails. The club owns five boats. Other fund raising ideas used by various clubs were car washes, sponsoring state tour- naments and selling t-shirts and frisbees. One club even worked as waiters to cover costs. There aresome advantages to being a club team, though. A club team has no restrictions set by the University to follow, said Louthen. A varsity team, on the other hand, must comp- ly with the rules and regulations set by the MAC, NCAA and the University.

A faculty adviser is required for each club to remind the members they are not too in- dependent. “A faculty adviser sponsors, advises, intercedes for the club, and represents the University to the club,” James said. “It is a tradition and custom.” Kevin Quarter of the frisbee club said that their adviser is not responsible for them, but helps when a problem arises. The sailing club advisers aid in instructing skippers on the basics of sailing, and the rugby team’s sponsor even gets into a little playing. Many clubs hope to become a varsity team one day, but the requirements are not easy. The University requires three main essentials for a varsity sport: the character of the sport must be a bona fide physical education activity, it must interest students, and there must be a sufficient amount of competi- tion. Adequate facilities, finan- cial support and instructional tes, SPORTS MAGAZINE 38) leadership are also required. In return for being awarded the varsity honor, the club will lose its individuality and sole control. A club sport provides the participant fun, physical ac- tivity, competition, friendship, and self-control without the hassels of university control. With only individual financing in the way, club sports are the minor sport’s outlet to the Big Leaque.U Members of the Lacrosse Club help graduate student Steve Bur- ton after being injured during a practice scrimmage. --photo by Jeff Zehr Club Sports £ his year the Cardinal Varsity Club’s goal was to raise and con- tribute $113,900 to the athletic department Compe by Joe Hernandez Win the pro- blems of inflation, high gas prices, road travel, scholarships, salaries, and other problems it is becoming more difficult to finance teams. In order to finance a NCAA inter- collegiate athletic team there are many areas that must be considered into the budget. One of the most expensive items is the buying of equip- ment to field the various teams. The university must be sure to get the proper amount of equipment and at the same time get quality and safety. There are many sports for which equipment must be bought and lots of items to equip the players. Besides the cost of getting the team ready for the season once the season is under way more and more costs add up. A team doesn’t play all their games at home, but they play many on the road. When they travel they must worry about the price of transporting the teams whether it is by bus or van. Not only do fition’s Pricetag they have to transport the team, but once they arrive at their destination they may have to stay more than one day. If this is the case the budget must supply money for food and possibly the paying for a place to sleep. Even though this is not practiced by all the teams or on all the road trips, for the ones it is done on it tends to be expensive.

Not only for the head coaches but also the numerous assistants and trainers. Most coaches do not make that much money, but the money they do make must come out of the budget. An ex- ample of a large coaches salary is that of newly assigned Notre Dame football coach, Jerry Faust, who was reportedly go- ing to be paid $60,000 per year. Not many coaches make near this amount, but they still must be paid out of the budget. There is also the problem of getting fine young athletes to attend Ball State University. The athletes must be attracted to the university not only by the academic standards, the cam- pus itself, the social life of col- lege, but also by the aid that they can receive for their specific sport. Whether the scholarships include partial payments for their talents or full grants if they participate in a specific sport the money must come from the budget. Ac- cording the Phyllis Shafer, 1981 Ball State University National Annual Fund Chairperson, the Cardinal Varsity Clubs Geiting by Joe Hernandez ate expense of a college educa- | tion has become a big factor in keeping some students from attending. When one is gifted enough to receive a scholarship in any field he or she should not be overlooked. Scholarships are earned for a variety of reasons whether it be academic excellence, artistic ability, special talents in rare fields, athletic ability or many others. There are scholarships available in just about any field both for men and women. In the field of athletics it is becoming more frequent that women are receiving financial help through scholarships to participate. At Ball State the members contribute part of the money. The 1,857 members presently contribute about one fourth of the total dollars used for grants-in-aid to the athletes at Ball State. This year’s goal for the CVC was $113,900 which would have put the total wie women’s intercollegiate athletes, for the year of 1980- 81, have a total of $202,650 that they are allowed to give away in scholarships. This figure has been growing in the more recent years at about the same pace that women’s sports are growing. The scholarships that are awarded for full tuition are for in-state students $975 and for out-of state students $1125. Scholarships can be awarded for every sport from badminton and lacrosse to basketball and volleyball. There are 134 scholarships that are available for in-state tuition and 64 available for out-of state tui- tion. For the 1980-81 academic year there were a total of 97 scholarships given out for women athletes. Of these 97, nine of them were full rides SPORTS MAGAZINE iy Paid to Play unrestricted dollars raised by the CVC over the million dollar mark, according to campaign chairperson Ross Peterson.U Coming to school on a football schoolarship makes it easier to meet the financial requirements for Dave Naumcheff. --photo by Patty Hughes which includes tuition and room and board. Out of these scholarships softball, swimming and track and field each gave out thirteen. Basketball and volleyball each awarded eleven out of the possible eighteen that they could have given out. A growing sport, badminton awarded eight scholarships to women here at Ball State, and lacrosse issued out a total of six to their athletes. Without the aid of univer- sities there would be many athletes who have enough talent to play, but maybe never got the chance. So with the help of money they earn by playing on athletic teams and keeping up their academic stan- dards they have been given a chance. A chance that other- wise would not have happen- ed.) Scholarships ecruits may often experience extra pressures due to overly high expectations Recruiting by Pete DiPrimio Co search the entire country for them. Scholarships, sometimes in ex- cess of $25,000 for four years, are offered to them. They are often given free visits to pro- spective schools and once there they are treated like gold. They are the precious commodities known to collegiate athletics as recruits. Recruits are the building blocks of any college athletic program and are the key to athletic success and profit. As such, they are treated like royal- ty and coaches spend many months assembling the talent they will need to produce win- ners. But often all this effort con- fuses the athlete, puts pressure on him and makes the ex- perience more of an ordeal than a priviledge. Ron Ver- nasco, an all-state runningback and state champion pole vaulter from Fort Wayne who is now a member of the Cardinal track team, was one such athlete who became heavily in- volved with recruitment. “Scouts from Notre Dame, Indiana and Ball State began coming to practices and games during my senior year,” Ver- nasco said. “After football was over I began receiving letters and calls.” As the winter months pro- gressed, the calls and letters in- tensified and Vernasco began to feel confusion and pressure. “IT needed a scholarship to af- ford to go to college, so I felt pressure to make the best deal,” Vernasco said. “Also | wanted to do both football and track which turned off some schools. At times, I didn’t know what to do.” Several schools began putting pressure on Vernasco to sign before the February deadline, including Ball State. Vernasco finally decided on Louisiana Tech University, but after a disappointing year he decided to transfer to Ball State. Look- ing back upon his recruiting ex- perience, he felt it had its ad- vantages and disadvanteges. “Being recruited gave me a sense of accomplishment and made me feel important to know that colleges wanted me,” he said. “But it was a Eee 10 eoarseaean Io Be Treated Like Gold confusing experience and I’m glad it’s over.” In order to produce winning teams, coaches sometimes unintentionally confuse and pressure the prospective athlete. But this is part of the game called recruiting, a part both coaches and athletes should be aware of.U The pressure of changing from high school superstar to college athlete means high expectations. --photo Robert Bridges _ Hours, days, and weeks of practice contribute to the perfect form of Shane Eversole. --photo by Jeff Zehr ies majority of athletes who face the challenge to walk on meet with failure by Michael Price Eteacne knows the familiar story of the high school -Cinderella athlete who catapults to fame by toppl- ing records and placing in news service polls. The result is multitudes of college and university scholarship offers be- ing bombarded on the now deemed “superstar.” The rituals of recruitment seek to induce the athlete to find a place on the team that offers his talents the most benefit. Conference affiliation, scholarship money, national exposure, and academic needs each play an important role in the decision facing the player. Intercollegiate athletics, however, are not sole- ly supplemented by recruited players. For many sports, the first day of training brings many unknown hopefuls with the desire to play, the intent of suc- ceeding, and a love for the Not Quite Gold sport. This is the story of the lonely athletic walk-on. The term “walk-on” refers to those athletes who try out for a place on a team, but have received no financial assistarice for playing. In essence, these players “walk-on” the respec- tive playing field at the time of training and try-outs. They do this with the same desire of “surviving the cut” as those who were offered scholarships but without the same likely assurance of playing. One athlete who was for- tunate to place on the football team as a walk-on was freshman Scott Hern. “I had the desire to play, and I knew | would have to start at the bot- tom and work my way up. | felt that if | worked hard enough I would become an accepted member of the team,” said Hern. Logansport, Indiana freshman Bert Miller had quite a different story to approaching and making the football team. “I had offers for scholarships at other schools, but I liked what Ball State had to offer over the other schools. The school fit my needs for academics, and the football program is getting better every year,” concluded Miller. The walk-ons who do make the team find it common that their playing time is generally limited. Hern stated,“I didn’t see much action this year ex- cept for playing for the scout team. I| didn’t expect to play much since this is my first year; I’m still in the learning process.” The majority of prospective athletes who face the challenge to walk on meet with failure. It seems the like of intramurals, club sports, and hopes of mak- ing the team next year have to suffice. For some students, however, there is no next year. For others, getting cut yields discouragement but increases determination. The rejected athlete generally feels no animosity toward the respective team, nor do playing teams hassle those who succeed as walk-ons. Walking on is an ac- cepted practice in modern, col- legiate athletics and is an ade- quate method of increasing the number and quality of players on a team. For many teams, the next record-breakers and news pole-toppers are right out in the field of Cinderella, walk- on athletes.U In preparation for a big game the Rugby team goes through rigorous drills. --photo by Jeff Zehr Caine Gymnasts Have Bright Future by Joe Hernandez Being young and inexperienced were two of the stepping stones that the womens gymnastics team had to conquer this past season. In order to be successful, these had to be conquered, and successful is what they were. When glancing at their overall record there is no sign of success, but they were in the case of recognition and experience due to more scheduled meets. The 1980-81 womens gymnastics team was a relatively young but a very strong unit going into the season. They were led into competition, for the fourth season, by Coach Georgia Nesladek. Nesladek has compiled a 16-20 record in her first three seasons with the Cardinals, including only three dual meets in 1979-80. She has accomplished a lot in her time at the Cardinal helm, such as a second place finish in the 1980 AIAW state champion- ship. Nesladek brought the squad into the 1980-81 season with five returnees. Among them were three juniors and two sophomores. The five returnees included Teresa Wright, Sharon Stupay, Denise Bush, Beth Stadler, and Cheri Silver. Teresa Wright, an all-arounder, had the highest average for the vault in 1979-80 with a 8.17 and improved it in 1980-81 to 8.23. Wright, who was awarded the Most Valuable Gymnast title her first year, also led the team this year in the uneven bars and floor exercises. She also placed se- cond in the balance beam with an average of 6.48. Wright also held the best all- around average of 29.90 and best score of 31.75. Denise Bush, a transfer from In- diana State, raised her vault average from 7.79 to 8.10. Kasey Robey was a bright prospect at the beginning of the 1980-81 season and bright she proved to be. Robey did well in the vaulting, uneven bars, floor exercise, and as an all-arounder. Other newcomers who proved themselves with the Cardinal squad this past season were Maureen Hornak, Tina Leestma. and Heidi Ringgenberg. The women gymnasts gained ex- perience this season as they finished witha | record of 9-14. Their nine meets, even though they weren’t totally successful, gave the young team the competition they needed, their lone victory coming in their first meet of the season with a win over Western Kentucky. The team was young and inexperienced, but now they have gained the experience they need. No one will be lost due to graduation, and the team will certainly mature. With all factors of the 1980-81 season be- ing considered, the Cardinals did well for the year. With everything looking brighter for 1981-82, the womens gymnastics team should be a bright spot in women’s sports at Ball State.0 Womens Gymnastics Women’s Gymnastics Front Row: Teresa Wright, Wendie Alexander, Tina Leestma, Kasey Robey.

The 1980- 81 season turned out to be dissappointing in some respects, but not in all. The final record of 1-8, not including invitationals, didn’t show all the hard work and effort that was put into the season. Even though at the end of the season the team didn’t shine, there were many individuals that ex- celled throughout the year. Individual achievements included a number of members on the team who im- proved their averages in the exercises over last year. In the floor exercise Greg Kuhlmann led the team with an average score of 8.98, and Doug Naylor was close behind with a 8.63 average.

Kevin O’Brien, a senior veteran with the team, was expected from the beginning of the year to be a strong performer on the rings and parallel bars. He lived up to both of these expectations as he had the high average on the parallel bars with an average of 7.37 and second on the rings with an average of 8.09. On the horizontal bars Carl Leland was the team leader with an average of 8.94 and his best mark of 9.50 Doug Naylor, Ohio sophomore, led the team in all-around with an average of 46.83 and his best score of 48.74. All- around means that the gymnast par- ticipates in all of the events and Doug Naylor faired well in all. He finished se- cond in the floor exercise, first in the rings, third in vaulting, second in parallel bars, and fourth in horizontal bars. At the end of the season the team was looking toward the future with hopes of im- provement. Although the team was still young, it had gained experience needed to be competitive on the college level. The team lost two members, Kevin O’Brien and Greg Yoder, to graduation. With the loss of only two members of the squad and the fact that Coach Shepard had his first year under his belt the team expects to do better in the 1981-82 season.U Tit bee = 4 = = et ee ee pow $4 | Mens Gymnastics Won 2, Lost 8 BS OP Ohio State 226.25 259.65 Illinois (Chicago) 205.91 258.52 Eastern Michigan 231 80 182.55 Western Michigan 231 80 237.35 Indiana 228.01 236.79 Indiana State 231.65 242.30 Southern Illinois 298 25 256.00 UW-Oshkosh 234.65 247.10 Kent State 244.05 241.45 Illinois State 236.10 261.6 Mens Gymnastics Front Row: Chris Kuhlmann, Doug Naylor, Jerry Scholem, Dave Milan, Tim Ginter.

Participants in only five meets prior to the Mid-American Con- ference Invitational, only two of which are at home, is not a big plus in the season. Headed by Coack Sharon Burgess, the boa track team centers the entire season around the Ball State Relays and the MAC. Burgess and her assistant Mara Ausenbachs have begun to show signs of making the team progress. The team was especially strong this past season in the sprints and relay events. Angle Phelps, New Castle freshman stated, “Thebest events we have are pro- bably the sprints and relays. We strive for excellence in these areas especially but we continue to work very hard at all the aspects of track and field.” At the start of the year Burgess, now in her fifth year, was counting heavily on freshmen. Seven girls who were in the top ten in team scoring returned to the squad. Amoung these returnees, Karen Beekman, Muncie sophomore, was at the top. of the list. She owns the school record in most of the distance races. Other returnees who stood up to the challenge of bettering their marks of the year before included Laura Jakush, Hammond sophomore, and Kim Graham, Indianapolis junior. Jakush’s strong events were the 200 meter dash, the 400 meter relay, and the sprint meledy relay. Graham fared well in the 100 meter hurdles, the 400 meter hurdles, and the 400 meter relay team. Among the newcomers that Burgess was counting on was Angle Phelps, who was a link in the 400 meter relay that came close to a record-breaking time. They tied the school record in the MAC Invitational. Karen Easton, Ontario, Canada freshman, led the team in the 800 meter run and was right behind another freshman, Pat Jackson in the the 400 meter dash. At the MAC Invitational the team did well in numerous events as individuals, despite the seventh place finished by the team. In- dianapolis freshman Valerie Sharp finished second the the long jump and Fort Wayne freshman Gloria Tyree set a new school record in the pentathlon with her second place finish. Ball State was the only squad to have three girls in the finals of the javelin. Sophomore Sandy Smith finished third, sophomore Kim Woodhaouse finished fifth, and freshman Shelly Arnold finished eighth. A new school record was set by freshman Debbie Snider in the discus, with a th row of 139’234”. This shattered the old recordof 118’. The 400 meter relay team consisting of Phelps, Jakush, and sophomores Kim Graham and Susan Wall tied the school record in their sixth place finish. These accomplishments made a mostly dismal season slightly more uplifting. The team had many underclassmen that did well in various events. With the ac- complishments being made on a large scale by underclassmen, the season looks to be even better in 1981-82. Adding on some good recruits to the list of already fine run- ners, the team should come into the new season at a strong pace.)

Phillips, Jr. Mens Track SPORTS Running Low on Wins by Pete DiPrimio The 1981 mens track season was one of individual success and team disappoint- ment under the second year tutiledge of Coach Steve Cooksey. The individual success was highlighted by Eric MacCarrol who became Ball State’s second All-American when he placed seventh in the long jump at the National Collegiate Athletic Association Indoor Track Championships with a leap of 251 2 feet. McCarrol continued his fine per- formance into the outdoor season as he was the Mid-American Conference long jump champion with a 24-2 jump. Pat Bush also qualified for the indoor nationals in the 600 yard dash and con- cluded his collegiate career by placing fourth in the MAC 400-meter intermediate hurdles. Kevin Brown ran_ consistently throughout the year and repeated his 1979 performance by finishing second in the MAC 110-meter high hurdles. Brian Whitehead, a freshman from Joliet, Illinios, cleared 6-ll in the high jump to set a new school record and placed fourth in the conference with a 6-8 jump. The team performance was not of the Olympian Al Jackson demonstrates the practice shot put for the track team. --photo by Larry Prazak quality Cooksey had hoped for at the start of the season. Five freshman, Whitehead, Dave Harmon, Stephon Jones, John Kalugyer and Prentis Turange, were called upon for heavy service and while they pro- vided some help, it was not enough to make for a successful season. The indoor season was a disappoint- ment as the Cardinals finished 2-4 with losses to Indiana, Indiana State, Eastern Il- linois and Miami, while beating Cincinnati and SIU-Edwardsville. Ron Vernasco set a new school pole vault record with a 16-0 vault and, along with Bush and McCarrol, provided one of the few bright spots. Before the outdoor season began, Cooksey admitted that depth would be a problem for the Cardinals. “We have a few blue chip kids but we’re not very deep,” he said. “Everyone must work hard and stay healthy for us to do well.” The lack of depth showed up in the first meet of the season when Ball State was beaten by both Middle Tennesee and Pur- due by scores of 711 2-69-401 2. The next two weeks were difficult as the Cardinals competed in the nationally regarded Dogwood Relays and the Indiana Intercollegiate. No team scores were kept and Cooksey was looking for week to week improvement. He found some at Ball State Relays where McCarrol, Bush and Whitehead took firsts and Brown, Ver- nasco, Scott Malcolm (in the 100-meter dash) and Doug McKee (in the 10,000 meter run) placed second. Next came defending conference cham- pion Western Michigan and the Cardinals came on the wrong end of a 100-62 score. Things got a little better the following weekend when Ball State lost to Miami University but edged Ohio University 461 2- 451 2 for their second win of the season against four losses. All of this led to the MAC finals, held for the first time at Ball State and a meet Cooksey hoped to finish among the top five. Unfortunately, that was notto be as the Cardinals finished last with 31 points, six points fewer than last year’s ninth place finish. Other Cardinal place winners were Tim Dwyer, fifth in the decathlon with 6,256 points; Stephon Jones, sixth in the 400- meter dash in 48.5; Paul Hyndman, fifth in the discus at 147-3 and the 1,600 meter relay team of Jones, Dave Harman, Pren- tis Turange and Bush, which finished sixth. 0 Mens Track Won 1, Lost 4 Middle Tennessee 711 2 Purdue 69 BALL STATE 40! 2 Indiana Intercollegiate: 4th of 10 teams Western Michigan 100 BALL STATE 62 Miami 88 BALL STATE 461 Ohio 4512 MAC Championships: 10th of 10 teams Mens Track Team.

It was the first losing season for Coach Barb Curio in her eight year tenure at Ball State. Curcio said she did not anticipate a winning season at the start of the year, but did not expect such a poor finish either. The squads only senior, Deb Wehman, was suspended along with sophomore Julie Kehoe for the last two games of the season for their actions following the Hoosier Classic Invitational at Bloom- ington. Curcio termed it a disciplinary ac- tion, but the two lady spikers considered it to be a big misunderstanding. The suspen- sion was appealed to the Women’s Athletic Council, but to no avail. Wehman said there was no basis for the suspension and added, “She (Curcio) would not even listen to me. She would not let me defend myself. It hurts because we were a close team this year.” Curcio said, “It was unfortunate the year ended as it did. I think the players learned from it. I got to know some of the players better. Some in a positive fashion and some negatively.” The team progressed well and matured for a young team, which was indicative of how the team played at the state tourna- ment at the end of the season, Curcio said. The team lost to a strong Purdue team, beat Indiana State and carried a match against a strong Indiana team in the In- diana Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women tournament. The team played without the two suspended players in the tournament. The team had third place finishes at the Mid-American Conference tournament and the Saluki Invitational, but then suf- fered through very poor showings the next two weekends at its own invitational and the Hoosier Classic. “We beat some tough teams and lost to some weak teams,” Curcio said. “I was disappointed with some losses. I thought we were better than our record indicated.” Sophomore Karen Granning was one of the shining lights for the team.

Curcio described Granning as a super in- dividual who was a hard worker that makes coaching a team a pleasurable ex- perience. Sophomore Julie Kehoe led the team in serving and was second in passing. She was often inserted into the lineup for play in the back row because of her serving and passing ability. Sophomore Amy King, a first year, player, was the team’s leading blocker with freshman Karen Majewski a close second. “Amy King did well in the middle,” Cur- cio said. “Majewski was the team’s most improved player although injury slowed her development.” Michelle Miller, who fought her way into the starting lineup after the first few games, led the team in passing and had the second highest total number of spike kills on the team. Curcio said freshman Maureen Hale, who missed much of the second half of the season with a sprained ankle, started to gain confidence in the middle blocker posi- tion at the end of the year. Sophomore Kim Woodhouse was the most improved substitute on the team, she said. “Woody (Woodhouse) is an aggressive, strong individual with good game sense,” Curcio said. “She might possibly move into the middle blocker position next year.” “We progressed well for a very young team,” Curcio said. Qur problems were playing as a unit, getting leadership on the court and no sparkplug to step into the mM lineup when things are down.” J Womens Volleyball Won 12, Lost 21 Dayton Eastern Ill.

After finishing 3-6 in the fall the Womens Tennis Team came out for the spring with high ambitions. After a winless spring season, the squad is feeling the growing pains of sports. Embarking upon her third year at the helm, Eloise Wiertel had five returnees. The top six players on the 1980-81 squad were underclassmen. These girls have now gained that valuable learning that is need- ed on the collegiate level. Kerry Simpson, freshman from Danville, Illinois, stated that “the team is more of a group. We ar e all working together toward a common goal therefore we have a better chance next year. The team will be working hard this summer and we should have some good recruits for the upcoming season.” The team set a goal after their fall season. The goal was to defeat the Mid- American Conference teams that had beaten them in the fall. “The teams are tougher in the spring and we wanted to finish higher in the MAC. We especially wanted to defeat Indiana State who had defeated us in the fall,” stated Simpson. The team accomplished part of their hard sought-after goal as they finished above In- diana State in the IAIAW but they failed to win a match in the spring season.

The team was only able to compile 4 points, with Miami leading the MAC with 32 points. The squad was led in singles by Colum- bia City sophomore Pat Blain for the se- cond consecutive year. Blain compiled a singles record of 5 wins and 16 losses com- pared to her 5-18 mark the year before. Shelli Fullhart, Muncie sophomore, was the number two singles player with a record of 4-17. Behind her were top returnees Janice Ross, Margot Faber, and the top freshman singles player Ann Voors. Voors, from Fort Wayne, compiled an impressive 13-7 mark in her singles competition. The top doubles pairs includ- ed the twosome of Blain and Fullhart. Directly behind them playing in the number two spot was the duo of Faber and Simpson. Many combinations were tried b y coach Wietel when it came to the doubles assignments. “The team is beginning to root for each other and that is badly need- -ed.We are becoming unitedas a team, and we are learning a lot in our first and second years. Looking toward the future I see a better team overall and better individual improvement,” stated Simpson. For coach Wiertel’s fourth year the team looks to be stronger. There will only be one person Faber, graduating. With the addi- tion of recruits, plus the summer ahead to work on their games, the tennis team should come into the new school year stronger in the physical and mental aspects of the game.

The team played strictly in tournament competition rather than on the duel meet system. Ball State was led by sophomores Kirk Schooley and All-America B.G. Winings, freshmen Brian Tennyson and Greg Havill, junior Richard Prange and senior Team Captain Mike Jones. The Cardinals took fourth in the Mid- American Conference championships which was hosted by Ball State at the Whispering Oaks Golf Club. Yestingsmeier said he felt the MAC tourney was a disappointment since Ball State was the host of the event and should have been contenders. Surprisingly, though, the team finished 27 strokes behind champion Miami of Ohio. Winings finished second individually in the MAC tourney with a 72 hole total of 288. The golf team’s year was highlighted by early spring visits to the Seminole Invita- tional in Tallahassee, Florida, the Gulfstream Invitational in Corpus Cristi, Texas, and an overseas visit to Scotland to play some of the British championship courses. Ball State will be returning many of their top players since only senior Mike Jones will be lost to graduation. Lining up his next shot with the use of a golf club is B. G.

Half way through the season they had an outstanding winning record of 11-1. But a collision between catcher Dee Lynn Chrisman and first baseman Brenda Gidley put the two seniors out of play. Chrisman returned to finish the season. The Womens Softball Team _ played against teams with high national ranking such as Western Michigan which ranked fourth overall. Coach Barbara Felderman felt the Bandits played extremely well against their stiff competition. They also werein three important tour- naments during the season. At the Illinois State tournament they were 3-0. A rain-out kept them from playing in the semi-finals. At Western Michigan they split, and at the In- diana University Invitational Coach Felder- man thought they played well. This was the biggest tournament they played all year. Kelly Adelsperger, senior pitcher, holds most of the pitching records at Ball State. Major hitters include Tee Pazitney, Chrisman, Barb Syler and Linda Neal. Syler and Pazitney were named to the state All- tournament team. There is a family atmosphere that prevails throughout the team. They work well together. They are noted fo their abundance of spirit which shows up most vocally in their singing. They even have song sheets for every member. This is Coach Felderman’s first year with the Ball State Womens Team. She says she has never coached a group with so much spirit. It just won’t stop. Only four seniors graduated at the end of the year, and Coach Felderman said theat she expected another stronger, more ex- perienced team for the next season. Softball Team.

But now it’s finals week of spring quarter. The office is rather disheveled and deserted. The frog poster has fallen down again. The dictionary and ladder are lost again. Three typewriters still don’t work, and the last blue marker has run out ink. It’s time to change our motto. “It’s too late now.” There’s no more time for re-writes, correc- tions or last-minute moments of inspiration. We’re stuck with all the copy, captions, photos and folio tabs, as perfect imperfect as they may be. Now we just have to wait--and hope that seeing the book will make all the headaches, ulcers, tears, fights and hangovers seem worth- while. Things didn’t always go smoothly. The print dryer broke three days before a deadline. The president of the University resigned the day of a deadline. Pope John Paul II was shot after a deadline. The basketball team winning the con- ference title caused a deadline to be postponed, and after winter quarter the staff never wanted to hear the word “deadline” again. But that wasn’t all. Scotch tape, dictionaries, pica rulers and grease pencils were stolen daily by a phantom thief. the Bi-tie was kidnapped and the gap was never really filled. Michael Price and Frank Phillips took turns being the staff skeptic. Somehow a broken Orient chair ended up at the bottom of the stairs, and although Charlie, the staff mascot and morale chief, was a lot of help at deadline time, it was difficult removing cat hair from layouts. Then there were the good times. During one short year we “jumped for it,” went preppy (in our own way), became Pepsi distributors, went to a banquet with a temporary nun and priest, wrapped up in the “world’s longest blanket,” borrowed a ceiling tile, kidnapped a tupperware lens cap, told 2,000 jokes, and were treated to the best tasting blue pens that money can buy. We even started a few fads. By winter quarter we had all gone “Mexican,” and Julio became the generic name for everyone--except for Cub- by Smith. Then after Mark Records gave lessons in enunciation, “I want some spaghetti” was the thing to say. And by spring quarter, nose-biting and “acting married” even became semi-accepted. It was an interesting year. It was year of good times, bad times, weird times and a year of a lot of people working together. Their efforts were all greatly appreciated. And, like every year, there was a core of especially dedicated staffers that deserve special thanks. Without Mark | would have lost hope, patience, strength and my sanity long ago. Without Patty Lighty, Mark Records, Michael Price, Frank Phillips, Tony DeCristofaro, Patty Hughes, Steve Ferry and Marilyn Kimble there would be no book. They always came through, no matter what. Without their time and talent we’d still be working on Watermelon Bust and Homecoming. To all of you, thank you. And to the past Orient editors, especially Randy Abbott, thank you for the foundation, the instruction, and the Orient tradition. To future Orient staffs, please keep it up. There’s a lot left to do. But now even the phone is finally silent. The “world’s longest blanket” is in a heap in the cor- ner. The photo of Yoda looks over dark light tables. A couple of darts still protrude from the walls. The last issues of “Eggrolls,” the staff newsletter, are left crumbled and discarded ona shelf next to “Taylor Talk” and a roll of toilet paper. Charlie is looking for his portable litter box. And hanging on the bulletin board, crook- ed and about to fall, is a sticker that proclaims “I’m for yearbooks.” --Pamela Records Editoreem aetna ac es aa Pamela Records Associate;Editor marca -ts ne Patricia Lighty Managing Editor (fall and winter) . . .

The last snow fell and melted. The monsoon season came and went. And through it all, the big squeeze continued. Students still hung on through homework hassles, close- quarter cramps, and budgeting pains. It was a year when the word “crunch” seemed to apply to everything from housing to energy to paychecks and athletic competition. Then spring came. The tulips bloomed, and the Arts Terrace gang returned from hibernation. The campus re-awoke with ac- tivity. Events like Spring Sing and Earth Day diverted attention from the pressures of graduation, job hunting, and apartment searching.

The end of the year was closing in, and the final tests of the final quarter were in- escapable. The crammming began early. Lights burned late. But during those last, long days of the year, there were other unavoidable hassles that also gripped students. During March, 12 students felt the crunch of a police crackdown. They were arrested for dealing and possession of drugs. Not only did the “big drug bust” put Ball State in the news and cause many parents to panic...but that weekend several parties also had to be cancelled. WHILE all the old tex- tbooks, snapshots, pressed flowers, ticket stubs and other remnants of the year can be packed in a box, friendships and memories need to be preserved more carefully. --photo by William E.

For awhile, Kazoo’s faced possible closing because of a contract dispute. When that conflict was finally settled, the Chug came under fire. A few neighbors complained of noise and garbage and wanted the Chug’s liquor license revoked. Some students became worried. Within a day after the complaints, Chug owners had over 300 signatures on a petition to keep the Chug open. Students united to return the pressure. The big squeeze never let up. There were close calls all through the year and close friends that were there through them all.

Then there were days when the hardest decision was whether to sunbathe by the Duck Pond or on the Arts Terrace. Headaches, like the hassles of finding a summer job, room and board going up 13 percent, tuition rising 14 percent, the Financial Aid Office running out of funds and the cost of a large Domino’s pizza going up to $8.63, were temporarily forgotten. Those were the challenging aspects of the big squeeze. But as the quarter inched toward an end, another kind of big squeeze was also important. STUDENTS couldn’t isolate themselves from the com- munity and the problems of the community. Muncie had a 12 percent unemployment rate, and for some, kite-flying was the affordable type of entertainment. --photo by Terry Clark TWO of the major inconve- niences of the year were mov- ing in--and then, after nine months of collecting memorabilia, moving out again. --photo by William E.
