Whether it was the first class or the last, every one is left with a particular image of what it meant to be a student. Through lonely hours, at times burdened with confusion, students tackled course request forms. Each quarter’s attempt to find the right number of hours produced for many an abun- dance of stress and resignation. There always seemed to be some reason why registration wasnt right the first time. One little change of mind often meant a second trip to the ad- viser’s office and another wait in line at the registrar. Waiting was common place. Whether it was at registration or at the bookstore checkout, whether it was waiting for din- ner in the residence hall or at the Tally, even the walk back to one’s room created a wait at the Scramble Light. But once students adjusted to the customary delays, they were ready for an eventful year to begin. Newy designed ban- ners adorn the front of the Arts Terrace during graduation ceremonies. The banners, designed by William Zack, an in- structor of Art, were the least controversial part of the altered tradition which featured new sub- ceremonies for the indi- vidual colleges. Biecken Library owns almost a million vol- umes. While 448,345 items got checked out in the 1985-86 year, stu- dents often complained that the library wasn’t open enough. The home team always wears the darker jersey, but the home advantage didn’t help the Cards as Miami of Ohio defeated them 17-13. Out of the five home games played, Ball State only won one game. Stusents learn to rap- pel across the Duck Pond as part of ROTC training exercises. Other exercises included rap- peling on the Ball State Football Stadium and building rope bridges from Botsford Hall to Swinford Hall. Ghristy Woods, located behind West Quad, is a popular retreat for stu- dents. The small pre- serve’s numerous vari- eties of trees provided students with cover for a few quiet moments. we EN v Ball State University Muncie, IN 47306 Volume 68 For many students the sta- tue of Beneficence is a com- mon backdrop for family photos.

For Greeks, the year would be dry--at least at rush. The Interfraterni- ty Council voted to ban “wet rushes” and to ban rush_ until Winter Quarter to give freshmen time to ad- just. At the same time, T-COM majors struggled to become the first beneficiaries of the David Letterman scholarships. But, there were still more impor- tant changes: “Semester switch possi- ble in 1987,” the Daily News headline reported. “The Ball State Debate” began. Ar- ticles showed how the change to semesters would reduce costs and paperwork, but polls showed a ma- jority of students preferred quarters to semesters. Days later, other major news broke: “Ceremony to differ, Gradua- tion crowds force change.” Students, however, devoted their attention to classes, and as fall wore Ore of the busiest places on campus to be between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. is the Scramble Light.

Meanwhile, President Worthen told students in October the semester debate was not “a sham” and that no decision on the change had been reached. In the wake of student protest, ad- ministrators claimed in the paper that “Agreement on new ceremony not yet reached,” even though the new graduation ceremony had been an- nounced in September. The result was students who felt the administration had a ‘shoot first, ask questions later,” style of manage- ment. Further upheaval came when students returned from winter break and Worthen announced that the university would adopt the semester system. Resignation set in. The winter passed as the men’s basketball team played poorly and the Daily News called for the resignation of Coach Al Brown. A month later the paper had egg on its editorial page when the team staged a eAndrew Johnston OpeningeD 6-0pening eJohn Huffer an ere” pace | dramatic comeback and won its Mid- American Conference Championship. Hopes for an NCAA title were quickly dashed, however, when Memphis State won in first-round action. Men’s tennis also won the MAC, joining women’s field hockey and basketball, along with the golf team which won its tournament title, to provide relief in a successful year of university sports. A flurry of sudden activity in May surrounded a potential visit by Presi- dent Ronald Reagan, but presidential spokesmen said there was no time on the president’s agenda for the unplanned visit. Meanwhile, graduation loomed and there was little time to find a sum- mer job. Yet students believed somehow it would work out, because as always, One Thing Leads to Another. Control and body position provide protection for Dan Palombizio as he maneuvers around a Memphis State player. The Cards participated in the National Collegiate Athletic Associa- tion basketball tournament only to be defeated by Memphis State, 95-63.

From Muncie to London, students had many arenas to display their talents. If events ranging from Homecoming’s Variety Show to residence halls’ On-Campus Days failed to meet a student’s creative output, for many summer jobs made the difference. To those students, whether they nutured a talent for management or entertainment, life on campus was only a precursor of things to come. eAndrew Johnston Mischen Stigleman sings ‘‘Who.

To most people, those two words invoke images of spine-tingling thrill rides, marching bands, fireworks and cotton candy. To the seasonal employees of Cedar Point Amusement Park, many of whom are Ball State students, those words mean long hours of hard work at low pay but for the promise of life-- long memories and friendships. But to appreciate why these students do it, one has to understand the history of Cedar Point. Cedar Point began in 1870 as a sim- ple bath house on Lake Erie near San- dusky, Ohio. During the summer of 1870, the steamship “Young Reindeer” began offering passenger service from Sandusky to the the lake. Between 1870 and 1900, diving plat- forms, horizontal bars, a water trapeze and bicycle boats were added. Cedar Point's first roller coaster was built in 1894 and reached a max- imum speed of 10 m.p.h. Today Cedar Point includes a private beach, two restaurants, a cocktail lounge, beachside patio, ten- nis courts and gift shops. While things have changed, for the students who work there there is an enduring nostalgia about how some people started out. In the summer of 1913 Knute Rockne worked as a lifeguard on the Cedar Point Beach. There he and his roommate Charles Darios perfected the forward pass and they astounded the football world with it that fall in a game against Army. This summer several Ball State students were among those who pur- sued their dreams, whether it be from behind the counter at an ice cream stand, or up front on stage, the possibilities were endless. Unlike Rockne’s day, this new crop of student employees had already sur- vived the perusal of division super- visors and managers who had muddl- ed through 16,000 applications for the summer's 3,500 jobs. While some would make salt water taffy others would sing and dance in live enter- tainment shows. What's it like to work in one of America’s best theme parks? Well, ac- cording to those who work there it’s fun, exhausting, frustrating and rewar- ding. For some it is a chance to escape summer school. For others it’s a chance to perform in front of thousands. For almost all, the work is money, independence and friendships to last a lifetime. For Muncie native John Clark, a member of the park’s Hobo Band, it’s a confidence-builder and a career op- portunity. Clark said he was able to build his confidence by working among professionals. “You're around people that say ‘listen, that’s not right. Do it right.’ It’s not ‘well, that sounded pretty good and you'll get it next time.” There might not be a next time because your performance now affects whether or not you'll be rehired, he said. Clark, who has performed in over 600 shows said he had learned a lot from Cedar Point. “The good thing about Cedar Point is that you can make it your personal best. You can’t say ‘All right, this is a Geritol crowd.’ It’s eight o'clock on a Sunday night. The people just got rained on and they're saying ‘Enter- tain me.’ And you can’t go out there and say ‘I really don’t feel like doing this because I'd rather be home in bed or at Wendy’s salad bar or whatever.’ You have to think ‘Wow, | can do this for myself.” For Mischon Stigleman, another live show employee, Cedar Point was a dream come true. After a season as usher and two seasons in a bear costume as a member of the Berenstein Bear’s character crew, Stigleman auditioned again. The same week she competed in the Miss Ball State contest and won, Stigleman auditioned for a job in the cast of “America Sings” one of the top shows in the park. A few weeks later she got the call offering her a job. In just three weeks, two dreams had come true but they conflicted with each other. She would have to be at two places at the same time; perform- ing at Cedar Point and competing in the Miss Indiana pageant. A compromise could not be found. The result was that she was forced to give up her crown. “I cried and cried and cried that week,” she said. Fortunately, Stigleman knows she made the right decision. “Six times a day we come off that show to thunderous applause and it’s wonder- ful,” she said. Both Clark and Stigleman are salaried performers but the vast ma- jority of workers are paid on an hour- ly basis. One of these workers is Chris Gordon, a Connersville native, who works in food operations in the Los Gatos restaurant in Frontier Town. “Being a supervisor is a lot of responsibility. Everything comes back to you,” he said. “The irate customers are the ones who really tick me off. You can't fly off the handle with the customers. And they’re always right. No matter if they’re wrong, they're always right.” Despite the work, Cedar Point is home to its employees, offering dorm or apartment-style housing at a nominal charge with a balanced meal at a reasonable rate in the employee cafeteria. The Point is like a self- contained community, with its own rules and regulations, security system fire department, police, laundry and entertainment services. As Clark put it, “The point of it is, when it’s hot, it’s humid, it’s 110 degrees on the Midway and you don’t feel like a show, you see that kid with the cotton candy in his hand saying ‘Oh mommy, look at the silly guy in the hobo costume,’ and that makes it all worth it.” @ Cedar Point's guests ride the ters of hun Canyon and ol off on a i t sum- mer’s day.

Similarly, their appearance at the annual Parent’s Day Variety Show was a successful combination. The Cowgirls efforts and those of various University musical and dancing groups proved the highlight of the day. With a flash of color, the parent's day show opened with the University Singers covered in red and rhinestones, belting out “The Varsity Drag.” Although the sound system left much to be desired, the excitement and enthusiasm of the Singers started the show on a high note. After a jazzy opening, the Singers slowed down with another oldie, “My Funny Valentine,” followed by “We Go Together,” from the musical “Grease.” The Singers ended their show in a patriotic flare with a lively rendition of “America.” The audience was slightly surprised, but delighted, by the second perform- ing group--Ball State's Marimba Ensemble. Sounding like old- fashioned calliopes, the Marimbas’ music amused and pleased the crowd. The players performed several numbers from ragtime to the classic “William Tell Overture.” The variety and talent displayed by the relatively unknown group was impressive. The Banevolks, the acclaimed folk dancing group, took the stage next. They started with a demonstration in clogging, a down-home style of danc- ing. The group members clip-clopped and ‘yahooed’ their way through rous- ing country music. The Banevolks continued with a group of women performing a slow, quiet dance with wreaths. Then the men took the stage in the flurry of a 1 2 Dallas Cowboys’ Cheerleaders Russian folk dance, complete with traditional Russian fur caps and sword fights. The final university organization to perform was the Ball State Marching Band. Accompanying the band as it played Glenn Frey’s “The Heat is On” were both the flag corps and the Cardettes. With the flag corps per- forming in the side aisles and the band occupying the back half of the stage, the Cardettes were the main at- traction as they danced and kicked their way across center stage. After the Cardettes and flag corps filed out and the band cleared the stage, preparations began for the even- ing’s main attraction, the Dallas Cowboys’ Cheerleaders. The Cheerleaders stormed the stage, flashing pearly whites and wearing the traditional outfit of white shorts with a blue belt and white stars, blue blouse, white vest with fringe and blue stars, and white boots. The show opened with Neil Dia- mond’s “In America” and the Cheerleaders took the stage, dancing in the large, quick-moving circle seen often in their routines. The group then immediately moved into a dance to the Huey Lewis tune “The Heart of Rock ’n’ Roll.” The fast-paced number came complete with lots of high kicks, shaking pom pons, and the smiles and energy for which the organization is known. Following the first two numbers, the women took a short break, in- troduced themselves, and told the au- dience a little about themselves and their activities. One surprising fact was that, of the sixteen performing, all but four were 20 years old or younger. A not-so- surprising fact was that most of the group was from the south, which pro- vided a lot of “howdy, y’all” in the introductions. The second part of their act began a la “Flashdance,” with music from that movie and “Staying Alive.” Wearing black and red sequined leotards and headbands, the girls displayed gym- nastics, ballet, leaps and jumps. Next it was time for a little old-style dancing. Two of the women, in out- fits that would be the envy of any flapper, broke into a hammed-up ver- sion of the Charleston. This was followed by a genuine burlesque dance routine to “All That Jazz,” in- cluding bumps, grinds, shimmees and hot pink feather boas. Michael Jackson doesn’t have a thing on these women in the dance department. The group swept through a string of Jackson’s songs with moves made famous in his videos and some original routines that would make Jackson’s head spin. In a hilarious spectacle, two members of the squad performed to “Ghostbusters.” The women, looking like two blue ghosts, floated over the stage in ‘dance bags’ while the au- dience nearly fell off their seats in laughter. The Cheerleaders proved they are more than just excellent dancers. Various members of the squad are also talented singers, which they demonstrated with ‘Singin’ in the Rain” while the other women danced wearing raincoats, holding brightly colored umbrellas. Cops and criminals took the stage with the accompaniment of “Axel F” and “The Heat Is On” from the film “Beverly Hills Cop.” Not to worry, though. The good guys won and the bad guys got a “New Attitude” with the aid of Patti LaBelle. The Dallas Cowboys’ Cheerleaders, considered the “All-American Girls,” could end the show in nothing less than a patriotic blaze of glory with a jazzed-up rendition of “Yankee Doodle Dandee” and with the women singing “God Bless the USA.”@ Rocky Rothrock TWO Dallas Cowboys’ Cheerleaders perform one of the high-stepping numbers’ from __ their world-famous half-time act.

Each balloon, intoxicated with helium, tugged at the thin, white thread which held it cap- tive, bumping and bouncing wildly in an odd freedom dance. Below, bright- ly outfitted students gathered over the field in excited clusters, alternately huddling and breaking apart to leap and cheer in their own strange rituals. The noise from the ground rose toward the clear blue sky, ac- companied by a few stray balloons which had escaped with the wind. The balloons were stamped “Watermelon Bust ’85,” but no one had to read them to know; “Bust,” as finalists, Queen Kim oversees the campus.

The queen was selected by penny voting which took place at selected stations around elon bustin’ Frivolous food feasts are festival favorites it was called, was Ball State’s biggest student-sponsored event of the year. Everyone knew of the festival, which was backed by Delta Tau Delta frater- nity and Alpha Chi Omega sorority to raise money for the Isanogel Center and the Indiana Cystic Fibrosis Foun- dation. And, everyone anticipated the festival’s combination of food (watermelon), contests (watermelon games) and general frivolity (watermelon fights). Bust offered, as Angie George, Alpha Chi Omega publicity chairperson, put it, “a chance for EVERYONE to get involved--greeks, independents, (dor- mitory) halls, the community, facul- ty.” Once the teams of students--dressed in everything from green shorts and green-painted bodies, to football jerseys to surgical outfits and hard hats--gathered and “mentally prepared,” Bust organizers tried to call everyone into readiness. The microphone boomed into operation. “No drinking during the games,” said a female voice firmly. “And please, no animals on the center field,” she added, as a spectator and his dog drifted across the marked- off lanes. Bob and Tom, popular radio per- sonalities who had emceed Bust for the past several years with their color- ful commentary, then appeared. Jac- quie Momper, Alpha Chi Omega chairperson of Bust, said of the pair, “They cost more (to get) this year continued Mark R.

Next, a few brief minutes were taken to announce the Watermelon Bust queen. Each of five finalists, chosen by penny voting throughout the week, stepped across the platform as she was announced, looking hopeful but composed on her escort’s arm. After a tense moment, Kim Buckman of Chi Omega was crown- ed. With the preliminaries over, game time had arrived. “Go to your lanes,” an amplified voice insisted repeatedly. “If you're not there in three minutes, we're starting without you.” Par- ticipants hurried into place.

Steps were retraced; watermelons were reposition- ed. Shouts of encouragement mixed with moans of exasperation as each team tried to do two things: finish first and show the most spirit. Those who didn’t succeed at the former tried for the latter by grabbing watermelons and “busting” them over teammates’ heads. The rest of the games, including a watermelon toss and a chest watermelon pass, went similarly with participants and spectators alike demonstrating their enthusiasm and desire “to have a good time,” as Matt Eckert and Jim Petre, both freshmen from Huntington, said in unison with matching grins. With the contests concluding and the craziness ebbing, Delta Zeta cap- tured first place in the sorority divi- sion, and the Theta Xi Stallions won in the fraternity division. Not to be outdone, Brayton Busters triumphed in the women’s residence hall category, while Clevenger 1 overtook the other men’s residence hall teams for first place. The Palace prevailed in the independent division. To top off the day, three bands per- formed. “Rods Cones” entertained the day crowd; “Why On Earth” and “10:01” took the stage at night. As a finishing touch to all the mayhem and madness, fireworks burst through the night air, ac- companied by the sweep of a sear- chlight. The display was an ap- propriate one; it brought a bit of Fourth of July to the end of the sum- mer, which in a way is what Watermelon Bust seems to celebrate.

Weather dampens week’s festivities Mother Nature takes toll on Homecoming 18 -Homecoming by Irene Lydia Stracke The window had been left open all night and the apartment felt like a defrosting refrigerator. Cool, damp air filled the room and thunder could be heard down the street. Thunder? The sun had come up outside but rain loomed on the horizon. Andrew Johnston Winners of a beginning heat have energy to spare at the finish line. An emotion-filled race, the sight of breathless contestants at race’s end showed showed the effects of lost speed more frequently than the ex- cited smiles of victory. The coffee had perked and the newspaper had been retrieved from the mailbox when the cat suddenly dove for security underneath the bed at the sound of trombones. Trom- bones? Outside in bathrobe and slippers and hair to make Phyllis Diller proud, a disoriented graduate student realized that the trombones belonged to the Muncie Central High School Marching Band and that the motorcade pro- ceeding down the street was the Homecoming Parade. Residents and students were treated to a motorcade including Garfield the Cat and his creator, alumnus Jim Davis. An equally memorable appearance was made by the Shriners in their an- nual performance of synchronized maneuvers on tiny yellow beach bug- geys. Homecoming had been easy to withdraw from this year as Mother Nature rained out Friday’s “Day in the Village.” The only competition to sur- vive was the submarine-eating con- test, which was moved at the last minute to the Student Center Ballroom. Ten teams competed in the contest. Last year's champion and current runner-up, Sigma Chi, was out-eaten by a team of six led by Mason, Ohio, senior Curt Stephens. Stephens’ team gave an impressive showing, polishing off the the six-foot sandwich in 17.52 minutes--only one second faster than their experienced com- petitor, Sigma Chi. Homecoming officially began on Tuesday with the staging of the an- nual bed race. Unseasonably cold temperatures caused many to miss the - imaginative costumes and strong show of spirit given by the com- petitors. Muncie graduate student Scott Yarger, a member of the Shively Hall team, said the race wasn’t like “real running at all. We didn’t have a strategy. We just got out there and started running. By the time we got to the finish line, other teams were already getting off the beds.” The race was not without controver- sy, however. Pi Beta Phi protested to the judges that they “had to jump over a guy’--that being Greg Shaver-- who was photographing the event for the Daily News. Pi Phi finished se- cond in the women’s competition when the judges told them they could not rerun the race. The Beach Olympics highlighted Thursday evening’s activities.

Despite the quality of the game, the crowd of 10,125 thinned noticeably at half time. While the weather played havoc with the “best-laid plans,” the Student Center Programming Board gave an extraordinary effort to Homecoming and scheduled so many events that some, such as the “Surfin’ BSU” din- ner, were overlooked by most of the residence hall members. Although at times the weather seemed to flounder, Valparaiso junior Robert Flude, director of publicity for the Homecoming steering committee, said sales from Homecoming items were strong. Unlike the weather, 1500 buttons bearing the slogan, “I got leied when Ball State played,” gave a predictable performance and sold out early. @ Homecominge 1 2 2 ¢Tug-O-War Masters of mud-making Pigs proven cleaner than students eby Janie Tuttlee “Be sure to wear your oldest, un- wanted clothes because they won't be spared. And neither will you,” she warned. At that point, the memories came flooding back...until then, my first year as a participant in the An- nual Theta Xi Tug-O-War had for- tunately been forgotten. But now, as 19 other girls and | listened to our activity chairman prepare us for “the tug,” scenes from the previous year flashed through my mind--the cold, wet mud hanging on clothes, stretching them out of shape; the dust flying through the air from dried mud on matted hair; the look of that ominous mud pit as girls were pulled screaming into its gooey, dark bed. | was crazy to be doing this again. The weather on that fateful day was unusually warm for October--near 80 degrees--but rain had fallen early in the morning, making the air humid and the mud pit all the more goopy. Members of Theta Xi fraternity busi- ly worked on perfecting the texture of the mud. They seemed to have devised an art of the practice of “mud making” since the creation of this an- nual event 23 years ago. A hose ran into the center of the 20’ by 40’ pit, and men ran full speed and hurled themselves belly down in- to the goo. Many came up with brown smiles and running noses, but others managed to escape clean from the neck up. Another team of men standing at the pit’s end held one end of the rope and pulled a single man through the mud, a strategy adopted to mix the mud and make it uniform. Many girls got their feet stuck by the mud’s suc- tion; shoes would certainly be lost somewhere in the murky depths as the day wore on. The music rocked as the captains of the first two teams were called to the announcer’s stand for a coin toss to determine who would get first dibs on their favorite end of the pit. One end was much more slippery than the other from victims’ clawing their way out and drooling mud on the grass. And although sand had been spread to add traction, the un- fortunate team stuck tugging on that end still had the disadvantage. Keeping this in mind in their strategies, teams in the Independent division competed first, serving as guinea pigs for the rest.

At any rate, they were crazy if they thought I’d hang on and go down with my ship like any good captain should. The crowd around us, having seemed so loud before, faded out as we concentrated on pulling in unity and at least doing well enough to avoid total humiliation. When the rope was even at both ends, the countdown began--“One, two, three, TUG!”--and | pulled with everything | had.

The group’s journey began with a three minute video tape and ended with a l6th place finish among the country’s finest cheerleading squads. The schools that participated in the competition were selected from nearly 100 entries. Each of the universities submitted a tape of cheerleaders per- forming their routine, incorporating dance, tumbling, stunts and a cheer. The squad began practice and train- ing in September. The members generally practiced twice a week for cheering at games, according to Speedway junior Sherri Cork. However, in preparation for the NCA finals, practice time was increased greatly. “After we found out we made the finals, we practiced every day but Wednesday,” Cork said. The practices ran three hours through the week, —d = Se eAndrew Johnston five hours Friday evenings and eight hours on Sundays. Besides practicing their routine, the cheerleaders had heavy workouts. Daily training sessions included runn- ing, aerobics, push-ups and sit-ups, according to Kokomo junior Eric Clouser. “We were really working for endurance,” Clouser said. “Three minutes doesn’t seem like a long time, but when you are doing gym- nastics and stunts, it’s a long time.” The squad’s routine consisted of one cheer, gymnastics, stunts, four pyramids and dancing. The program was choreographed to the songs “Oh, Sheila,” “Hungry Eyes,” and “You Spin Me Around.” After four long months of practice, the cheerleaders headed south to Orlando, Fla., to face their com- petitors. The preliminaries were held Jan. 5, in an outdoor arena at the EPCOT Center. An estimated 4,500 spectators looked on as the 20 squads performed in the first round. The first portion of the competition comprised 25 percent of the squads’ final scores. “It covered technique in building pyramids, stunts and safety,” Clouser said. In the finals, held at the Orange County Civic Center, the squads were judged on choreography, tumbling, personality and overall performance. This portion of the competition was worth 75 percent of the final score. The team’s months of hard work and sacrifice paid off as the squad placed 16th among college cheerleaders in the United States. Cork said, although the members of the squad got on each other's nerves after long hours together, they also got really close. Clouser also felt the time and effort were woth the results. “It was exciting and fun,” Clouser said. “We were treated like celebrities when we were there. We've already started working for next year.” @ Rocky Rothrock Supported by her male cheerleading partner, Theresa Snider raises her arms as well as the crowd’s spirits at a men’s basketball game.

Gueerlesdereee r( Common goal to meet the test 18 of 140 emerge victorious from Pom tryouts 28+Pompon Tryouts eby Janie Tuttlee A cool, rainy September evening may have dulled the early autumn sky, but it did not dull the nervous energy and enthusiasm of about 140 Ball State women on the first night of pompon tryouts. The women spread themselves out along the edges of University Gym’s floor, stretching and warming themselves up for two hours of strenuous practice. They sat in tight, chattering groups, some telling of be- ing talked into trying out, others tell- ing how they had wanted to all their lives. Echoed giggles bounced like basket- balls around the gymnasium as pig- tailed students nervously awaited the start of this tedious, three-day vigil. Some were short, some tall, some thin, some muscular, but all shared a common interest; being chosen a member of the pompon squad would be a highlight of their college careers. This goal would be realized upon successful completion of the tryout period. Each girl was required to learn a common routine taught during only four hours of group practice, as well as create their own 32-count routine to the Ball State fight song. Two ma- jor requirements seemed easy enough, but the routines were tough, com- plicated and physically tiring. The first day of practice, the can- didates entered the gym stiff with ner- vousness. But, with a little welcoming and lots of pep, the former squad cap- tains loosened them up. The captains explained the duties of the squad, making games and other events look glamorous. Judy Abrahamson, the squad’s coordinator, gave the girls possibilities to consider. Of over 100 candidates, only 18 would be chosen (14 regular members and four alternates). Judging was bas- ed on eye contact, facial expression, enthusiasm and overall appearance. Fast learning counted for first cuts, but creativity was stressed for second cuts. The women were shown an entire routine by two squad members. The speed and complexity of movements was incredibly confusing to those with little knowledge of dance, and somehow, in four hours each girl would have to perfect a routine without individual help. Several of the women had obvious- ly danced before. They moved with snap and finesse. Yet an atmosphere of comraderie prevailed as each woman encouraged others through rough spots in the routine. These women weren't chosen for their Barbie-doll faces or innocent smiles, but for the ability to learn, commit- ment and precision. On the second night's practice, tremendous progress had been made. Although some had dropped out, the remaining group put the pieces together. Abby Lane, Richmond junior, almost dropped out but after talking with friends decided, “What the heck. Maybe I can just concen- trate on smiling and shaking my bootie for the judges.” The 47 women on hand for the se- cond practice had their work cut out for them. Before tryouts began, the re- maining candidates practiced together with impressive precision. Cari Brown, Valparaiso junior, was trying out for the third year. “It all gets a lit- tle monotonous and tiring after a while,” she said, but she couldn't hide the excitement of the evening’s trials. The first phase of tryouts had shown the women in individual routines, but this cut placed the women in groups of four to perform the same routine. The first cut was a tough decision; each competitor per- formed skillfully. “When | first saw the routine we'd have to learn I couldn’t believe it,” Valparaiso freshman Deena Eckert said during a break. “] thought there was no way | could learn it, and a lot of girls dropped out. But when I did it for the judges, it was easy because | could ham it up.” The judges made a small cut of seven. Then the second phase began. Each woman performed her in- dividually designed routine as her private “fan club” cheered her on. The judges made the hard choices after a group consultation. The waiting period for the final cut was over 30 minutes, insuring an increase in nervous anticipation. When the decision finally came, 18 girls were chosen, and emotions, of course were mixed. Eckert didn’t make the squad but said, “I tried my best and that’s all | can do.” Lynn Gilbride, Carmel junior, showed that even previous winners were nervous. Chosen for the second year, she said, “I couldn't believe they called my name, and I had to hear it again before I did.” Amidst squeals and tears, spec- tators’ applause both congratulated and consoled. The mix of emotions split the atmosphere like lightning through the sky. And with that, the pompon squad was born.@ The form required for success is demonstrated by Cindy Jo Egan. Of the 100 who started, Egan was one of the talented 18 who endured squad tryouts and made the team. Almost 100 women show the hope and the energy required to survive the rigorous routines required by the pompon team. The candidates prac- ticed together in University Gym before any cuts were made and the Strai n showed. Only half as many returned the following day.

Bands such as_ The Primates, Atomic But- terfly, and The Chainheads have per- formed in the establish- ment. Rocky Rothrock JON Rans, owner of No Bar and Grill, also is the owner of the Repeat Per- formance which is next door to the No Bar. The No Bar, he claims, offers an alternative to those who want to get away from top 40 music. Bands found the No Bar a place to perform their music before a crowd that was looking to get away from the top 40 beat.

Rocky Rothrock 3 0eno Bar and Grill Night club plays to a different beat eby Scott Uptgrafte | The basement room next to Jon ; Ran’s Repeat Performance (a record | exchange store in the village) is dark, | dingy and sparsely furnished. The | ceiling is only about seven feet high. | The only lighting in the place seeps out through low-wattage black lights. | On Friday and Saturday nights the | distorted sounds from bands with | names like The Primates, The | Chainheads, Atomic Butterfly and Herf Jones and the Class Rings pro- | vide slam dancers a chance to cut | loose at the underground night club called No Bar and Grill. | No Bar and Grill is exactly that. | Soft drinks and vending machine-style | munchies are available, but no liquor | is sold. This allows anyone to come in. “No Bar,” as it is called affectionate- | ly by those who frequent it, was | opened by Rans and his partner Jeff | Weiss an April 1985. “Different is the | point,” stressed Rans. “There is | nothing else going on with the music ' scene in Muncie. It’s all top 40. We ; want to provide an alternative.” | No Bar does attract a different | breed. It is basically what most people | would call a punk crowd. “Most of the people we get here are liberal thinkers,” Rans commented. | Leather is a big item in the apparel department along with long, avant- | gard coats. White T-shirts seem to be | in the dress code for those who slam | dance, but the color that is what it is, you know, is the same color as all of Henry Ford’s Model-Ts. | Although it is basically a punk-style | nightspot, what goes on should not be confused with all of the horror | stories that circulate about slam dancers dying from skull fractures. People would also be hard pressed to find a switch blade in the crowd. With a cover charge of $2 most nights and $5 for acts that tour na- tionally, Rans and Weiss are doing everything but making a profit. “It’s really a lot of hard work,” Rans said. | might not have done it had I known it was going to be this hard.” Since its conception, No Bar has overcome many obstacles, including troubles in obtaining a permit and violations of the fire code. When it was thought No Bar would need two bathrooms instead of one, local bands got together for a “No Aid” concert, with proceeds going to the club for the purchase of another toilet. As it turned out, the extra bathroom was not needed because a city official was incorrect in his classification of the club. Rans thought the club was in the clear for the present but was unhappy with some people’s attitudes toward No Bar. “We are not here to threaten people,” he said. “There are a lot of people out there who just can’t handle something that is different than what they are used to. They feel threaten- There have been instances where those who misunderstood or disliked what goes on at the club have gone in looking for fights or have thrown firecrackers down the stairs. Rans simply called the police. Many people have misconceptions about what No Bar and Grill is about. They view the punk world as a brutal one. But it is not really that way. “We've never had any problem with violence here,” Rans stated. “We try to keep it clean here; there is no li- quor available. All ages are welcome, but it seems that most of the crowd is over 2] anyway.” Freshman Karen Kuhn, New Castle, No Bar provides alternative to top 40 music goes to No Bar at least once every weekend. Kuhn has been into punk music for a couple of years and really enjoys the club. “ I go to check out the bands,” she said. “In the local bands, some of the guys are the same. The singer of The Primates is also in another band that plays here.” The people who frequent the bar are friendly. “The whole point is for people to have somewhere to go and not feel alienated,” Rans said. Kuhns commented, “I liked it the first time there. If you go there awhile you'll notice a lot of regulars. It’s small and kind of close-knit, but the people there don’t mind if people of different types come in.” When the club opened, many local and college acts were playing, but now Rans and Weiss are trying to upgrade the acts and are having pretty good luck. “The reason we can get these nationally touring bands is that we can also open on odd days like Thursday and Sunday as well as Fri- day and Saturday,”’Rans said. “Also, since we are in the middle of the country, we catch bands traveling back and forth.” Another reason Rans cited for the success in booking these acts is No Bar’s reputation. “It’s usually packed and we have really good crowds,” he said. In addition, “The bands that play here really like it, and they tell other bands.” Ran’s commitment to No Bar and Grill stems from a fondness for the small underground clubs he fre- quented when he “was a hippy.” Although he feels strongly about the club, he is quick to admit that establishments featuring live bands often fall by the wayside rather quick- ly. “We tape every performance here - - you never know how long this will last.” @ NO tiquor is sold in the No Bar and Grill which allows anyone the opportunity to visit the establish- ment.

He glanced over the atten- tive females, meeting an occa- sional eye. The effect was doting, almost intimate, as though his white-toothed smile was reserved for each one. However, it wasn’t the usual Paul Newman, Burt Reynolds, or Robert Redford hunks who caused such a stir. It was no other than country music’s Urban Cowboy, Mickey Gilley. Emens Auditorium was filled almost to the brim as Gilley laun- ched his September show with the classic tavern rocker, “Don’t the Girls All Get Prettier at Closing Time.” Pounding the keys unmer- cifully, he rolled his eyes with an airy sense of bravado as he brought the song to a finish. After performing several songs from his station at the baby grand piano, he delighted the crowd with a simple display of locomotion. Even Gilley seemed surprised at the audience’s reaction. He simply picked up the microphone and strolled to the edge of the stage. The crowd went wild. Arms were outstretched im- mediately and about a dozen women squealed out his name. Others rushed from the back rows, oedown flash bulbs popping to record their closeness to their idol. Dressed in a red velvet jacket, pleated white shirt, and blue jeans, Gilley, with a subtle clean-shaven sexuality, seemed to turn normally conservative women into a quiver- ing mass of teeny-boppers. After a few introductory remarks, he crooned his 1974 number one ballad, “Room Full of Roses.” Someone shoved a little blonde-haired girl on the stage to present the singer with a spray of flowers. Kneeling down on the stage, Gilley wrapped a protective arm around the child and sang to the beaming toddler while her pro- ud parents snapped photographs. The rest of the evening was full of women and little girls presen- ting him flowers and kisses. In addition to his piano-busting rockers, Gilley performed a variety of loves songs. Beginning with “Have You Got Something on Your Mind,” he dazzled the au- dience with “Put Your Dreams Away,” “Here It Is Baby” and Bud- dy Holly’s “No True Love Waits.” Gilley changed the musical direction of the show from love songs to boozy weepers. “Have you noticed that most songs in country music are about fightin’, cheatin’ or drinkin’?” Gilley asked the crowd, who cheered their approval. “I'm gonna dedicate this song to the drinkers of the audience,” Gilley said. “But I want all you A new beat to an old sound non-drinkers to know that we feel awful sorry for you. ‘Cause when you get up in the morning that’s as good as you're gonna feel for the rest of the day.” After enduring laughter from the audience, Gilley glided through “It's a Headache Tomorrow or a Heartache Tonight.” Gilley reminded the crowd of his honky-tonk roots and the influence of cousin Jerry Lee Lewis with his piano-thumping style. Teasing the crowd with the beginning of “Great Balls of Fire,” a Lewis original, Gilley refused to play the rock ’n’ roll song unle ss the crowd sang the title line. It was his way of rebelling against the stereotypical dilemma that be- ing related to ‘The Killer” had pos- ed in previous years. However, Gilley more than satisfied the energetic crowd with his version of the 50’s number. He closed the show with a rom- ping Cajun number and a promise to sign autographs in the stead of opener Gene Watson. Watson, whose songs included “Fourteen Carat Mind,” and the famous “Farewell Party,” had gripped the audience as well. Gilley sat on the stage for close to two hours after the show, sign- ing autographs, kissing women and posing for pictures. His face revealed lines of weariness, but he took time to talk to every fan. Gilley was proof that not all sex symbols come from Hollywood.@ Brian Drumm Lost in his music, Mickey Gilley mixes love ballads and a touch of rock to deliver a performance that earned him a standing ovation many times throughtout the show.

IJ Mickey Gilleyedd Charles’ voice was a compila- tion of husky whispers and quavering crescendos. SA eray Charles Ray Charles belts out a song with an enthusiasm that hides the stress of the previous week. Charles’ private plane crashed ina Bloomington cornfield as his band was making its way to a per- formance at Indiana University. astery try sound of Ray Charles surely were surprised when they attended his November concert at Emens Auditorium. And a few of them were ap- parently expecting just that. Sand- wiched among a preponderance of stylishly dressed Ray Charles soul enthusiasts, a few mid-western good ol’ boys straggled into the auditorium with their good ol’ girlfriends. With their faces exhibiting the intent expression of Marlboro manliness and their cowboy hats squared deliberately on their heads, they seemed eager to hear Ray Charles, who had recently recorded hit duets with such coun- try singers as Willie Nelson and Hank Williams Jr. They came to hear the Ray Charles who, during his lengthy career, often basked in the Nashville limelight. This coun- try side of Ray Charles was sampl- ed during his two-hour show, but the marked influences of Willie Concertgoers expecting the coun- and Hank Jr. were absent. Instead, Charles wailed through such country-crossover tunes as “Georgia on My Mind,” and “I Can’t Stop Loving You.” The plea- sant result was enough to appease the musical yearnings of his coun- try music fans, while still pro- viding jazz and soul sounds to those who enjoy Charles’ total talent. That talent had been unleashed the moment Charles touched the familiar keys of his grand piano. His performance erased a percep- tion of frailty which had been created as an escort led him across the stage, his body swaying almost precariously from the waist as he paused to absorb warm applause, his slick yellow jacket hanging from his thin frame. The impatient hum which came from the audience members as they waited was a relative silence compared to the musical cacophony which erupted when Charles took command of the stage. Waves of sound from the Taking a bow, Ray Charles acknowledges the roaring capaci- ty crowd.

Charles, wildly ex- uberant, pounded the keys and thrashed his legs while he growled the words to “Will You Surrender to Me.” The result was an au- dience that surrendered without a fight. Throughout the performance, Charles’ voice was a compilation of husky whispers and quavering crescendos. He howled through an almost unidentifiable rendition of “Some Enchanted Evening” and created his own jazz version of the usually sedate “Oh What a Beautiful Morning.” The Emens’ concert was an ex- ample of the Ray Charles who pays special attention to blues, soul and jazz, as well as the Nashville fare. It was like hitting a musical motherlode, a golden discovery that, no matter which musical persona Charles decides to take, his music is of his own mak- ing. @ eAndrew Johnston Ray Charlese3D IT It doesn’t mat- ter how you get there as long aS you don’t know where you're going. 3 Ss OsKamcroy Brothers eby Stephanie Haucke For most of the crowd, vaudeville is only an image that comes to life through old movies and songs, but on Oct. 24, 1985, Emens Auditorium was held cap- tive by the 1920s spell of the Fly- ing Karamazov Brothers. Inspired by the German avant- garde of the early 20th century, the five-member troupe, Fyodor, Dmitri, Alyosha, Ivan and Smer- dyakov, made a dramatic entrance by leaping and swinging onto stage, wearing black harem pants and juggling Indian clubs. The show was billed as “juggling and cheap theatrics,” but it deserv- ed much more credit than its bill- ing offered. The audience was transported back in time by perfect juggling of obscure objects like sickles, meat cleavers and silver rings. Enhancing the brothers’ routines were slapstick gags, music and philosophical ramblings, such as “It doesn’t matter how you get there as long as you don’t know where you're going.” The highlight of Act | came when “The Champ” solicited ob- jects from the audience. The jug- gler stipulated that the objects weigh at least an ounce, no more than 10 pounds, and be no larger than a bread box. After a vote of applause, the winners were a purse, a stuffed mallard duck and a slice of pepperoni pizza from Flying Tomato. The Champ took on the for- midable task of juggling the au- dience’s contributions with one caveat. If he could keep the objects in the air for at least 10 counts, he got a standing ovation. If he failed, he got a pie in the face. Despite a heroic effort, the pepperoni flew and the juggler fell to defeat, receiving his whipped-cream fate. After a brief intermission, a combination of percussion and juggling skills were demonstrated by the brothers. Topping the charts were “Chopsticks” and a boogie- woogie played on a marimba with wood mallets that doubled as jug- gling clubs. The climax of the show came when “terror objects” that were collected thoughout the show were taken off an easel. The objects in- cluded a skillet, a salt shaker, an egg, champagne and handcuffs. The routine was described by one of the brothers as “a combina- tion of Russian Roulette and spin the bottle,” and it ended like a champagne brunch. After the egg landed in the skillet, skillfully cooked and salted and served with bubbly, a much deserved standing ovation roared from the crowd. @ Thé versatile Karamzov Brothers wow the crowd with a juggler’s version of ‘‘Chopsticks.’’ The talented group showed their skills around the world and made their 1985 movie debut in the adventure- packed film, ‘“‘The Jewel of the Nile.” Former university of California student Paul Magid, ‘‘Dmitri,”’ takes a bite from an apple while juggling axes.

Copperfield, once a shy, retiring schoolboy, fostered his love of magic into a career as the successor to Houdini. C6 Question number two--is David Copper- field my real name? IJ 38� davia Copperfield Illusion eby Cheri Evanse A filmy, soft peach curtain hung across the stage, lightly covering the backdrop of a big city at night. A vibrant purple light shone down the length of the curtain, creating a continuum of brilliant to deep purple. The people in the packed auditorium created a soft murmur as they waited...and waited. Suddenly, stars of light shot out in every direction on stage. The throbbing beat of Cory Hart’s “Sunglasses at Night” played as two women in tiny, black leotards rolled out a glass box which they demonstrated as being empty. Then, amidst the music, smoke, lights and applause, a sheet was quickly raised and lowered around the glass box, and David Copper- field, donning dark sunglasses, ap- peared in the spotlight, seemingly from nowhere. The crowd roared its appreciation for the master of magic. Copperfield brought his show of mystery and magic to Emens Auditorium Nov. 1, 1985. The sellout crowd had flocked to see a man who had indeed earned the right to be called the master of magic. Copperfield, who has gained in- ternational recognition as the greatest magician of our time, was named both “Entertainer of the Year’and “Magician of the Year.” In 1982, Copperfield astounded millions when he made a seven- ton jet disappear. In 1983 he went on to perform perhaps the world’s greatest illusion when he vanished the Statue of Liberty. But on Nov. 1, all his magic was reserved for our stage. Copperfield’s popularity reached beyond his tricks and illusions. He proved himself to be the perfect performer as he gained a rapport with the audience. From the start he injected his acts with humor and involved the audience at every opportunity. After his spectacular entrance, he kicked off the show by exclaim- ing, “I thought I'd start things off by magically answering the first two questions. Magical answer number one is 29,” he said as the audience chuckled, “and magical answer number two is ‘No!’” he added, raising his eyebrows. The audience was tickled by the imaginary questions until Copper- field explained. “Question number one--how old am I? And question number two--is David Copperfield my real name?” He then added, “David Copper- field is not my real name; my real name is Magic...Johnson.” Copperfield continued the even- ing with the same flamboyant presentation, carefully mixed with music and choreography. Copper- field writes, directs and performs all his own acts. At one point, after Copperfield told a joke (Never kiss a canary-- you get ‘chirpies”’), a large, white duck wandered nonchalantly onto the stage. The audience was seized with fits of laughter as Copperfield stopped in mid-sentence and eyed the all-too-adorable, attention- grabbing duck. Then the magician recovered himself and introduced his pet, Webster. Copperfield explained he had discovered that Webster had a new talent; Webster was a “daff- defying” duck. As the theme song from “Rocky” trumpeted forth, Copperfield put Webster through a series of dangerous tricks, such as apparently making him swallow swords and shooting him from a cannon. The duck proved to be one of the favorites of the evening. In one routine, he put Webster through his “Ronko Duckbuster” and rolled out a completely flat version of the bird. Copperfield then held up a Kentucky Fried Chicken box and quipped, “Parts is parts.” Copperfield also performed some more serious tricks during the evening. In one illusion, the magi- cian performed a stage version of his walk through the Great Wall of China, a feat he accomplished in China in the summer of 1985. In Emens, he used a one-foot thick steel slab, which was checked for solidity by three audience members. While strapping a monitor to his chest to amplify his heartbeat dur- ing the act, Copperfield explained he would diffuse his molecules in- to those of the wall in order to pass through it. Music from “Miami Vice” created an air of excitement and expectation as Copperfield mounted a veiled platform on one side of the wall. Then, as his silhouette was seen entering the wall, all was silent but the steady “thump, thump” of his heart. Even this sound sl owed and got fainter as Copperfield disappeared into the wall, and the beat even- tually stopped altogether. After a tense moment, the magician’s outline could be seen emerging on the other side as the heartbeat resumed. Other tricks Copperfield perform- ed also met with great success. He acted out the traditional levitation illusion, but with a style all his own. As he levitated a young woman from the audience, he breathed out, “She looks at me and I look at her...and she floats.” Other skits included a comic FOr a man who has floated over the Grand Canyon and caused the | Statue of Liberty to disappear, | levitation is old-hat. Copperfield performed this illusion as part of a 90 minute show in Emens. take-off of “Mister Roger’s Neigh- borhood,” during which Copper- | field imitated a child learning a _ magic trick from Mister Roger's show. The instructions called for the novice magician to take out a _ bandana for the trick, but Copper- field instead got a banana. His antics were more and more hilarious as he proceeded with the directions, using the inappropriate banana: “Fold it in half. Now, fold it one more time. Secretly hide it in your left hand. Open up the folded bandana. Greet the audience by waving it up and down. To pro- ve it’s a real bandana, ask an audi- ence member to wipe their face with it...” Copperfield’s personality and his dark, clean-cut good looks gave him a magnetism few spectators ‘could resist. Marcia Morgan, an Eaton resident who works in Mun- cie, responded to Copperfield’s per- sonal magnetism and flair of ‘presentation. “| think he’s unbelievable,” she said. “I can’t think of a word to describe it. I’ve never seen anyone ‘quite like him.” She planned on having Copperfield sign her ticket stub after the show in the autographing session that was pro- mised. Julie Hill, Fort Wayne junior, thought the show was “fabulous. He’s so electric,” she said with an emphatic wave of her hand and a grin. ‘It’s not that he’s doing magic; he could do just little, bitty tricks...it’s the atmosphere he puts around everything that makes it so cool. He does everything with such feeling, such flavor.” It was that feeling and that flavor which made David Copperfield more than just a magician. It made him, in the truest sense of the word, an entertainer. @ 4 ' f ee oO eae David Copperfielde 39 eAndrew Johnston Michael Antunes, saxophon- ist for the Beaver Brown Band, belts out a solo with all the fever of a serious musician in the spotlight.

Although the crowd was small, it didn’t lack enthusiasm. Students danced in the aisles and moved toward the stage as the concert got underway. “I've never seen an audience dance so much in my life,” Caffer- ty said. John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band rocked for nearly two hours as the crowd kept pace. Caf- ferty set the tone of the night with the group’s first song, “The Dark Side.” A real crowd pleaser, the band had the audience singing along with fervor. “The Dark Side” and “Tender Years” were two of several songs played from the Eddie and the Cruisers soundtrack. The band at- tributed their success to the movie, which established their name in the music industry. “Fairy tales do come true if you stay young,” Cafferty said, leading into the band’s hit “Tough All Over.” The song was another crowd stopper, prompting the con- certgoers to stand in the aisles and their seats with a roar of applause. Throughout the show, Cafferty complimented the crowd’s en- thusiasm. He told the band at one point during the show, “We got a wild bunch on our hands.” While at times it was hard to hear Cafferty over the music of the band, that didn’t stop the singer from dancing across the stage and slapping dozens of outstretched hands. He said, “I think what we need is some hand-clapping and some foot-stomping.” And that’s what he got. The last song of the set, “C-I-T- Y,” was the rowdiest of the even- ing. The crowd stormed the auditorium as the band played its heart out. Saxophonist Michael Antunes got into the act, spelling out the word c-i-t-y with his arms as the crowd did the same. Cafferty played along as if he didn’t know what was happening. “Come here and see this,” Cafferty said to Antunes as the audience copied the sax player's movements. “] can’t figure out what is going on. Every time | sing ‘C-I-T-Y’ they do that,” Cafferty commented. “What is it?” Antunes acted as though he didn’t know what was going on. Cafferty called another band member over and they walk- ed up and down the stage. As he sang “C-I-T-Y,” the crowd spelled it out with their arms. Cafferty was gradually spelling it out faster and faster when he caught Antunes helping the crowd. “Oh, okay, now I understand,” the singer admitted. As the band returned for one of four encores, Cafferty commented on “some fine college you got here.” Then the band belted out the song “Rock and Roll School.” “Anybody got a school named Ball State has to have spirit,” he said. Finishing the last encore, Caffer- ty asked the crowd if they had a good time and the crowd respond- ed with a standing ovation. “Thank you so much,” Cafferty cried out, “you've been great!” John Cafferty embraces the crowd during his rendition of the hit ‘‘C-I-T-Y.’’ Audience members stood and spelled out the letters of the song high above their heads ina hearty response to the band. eAndrew Johnston JoNN Cafferty isn’t limited to display of rocking down the house.

Severinsen, popularly known as the band conductor for the ‘‘Tonight Show,’’ brought his New Orleans style show to Muncie on May 3. eAndrew Johnston 42 ¢Doc Severinson eby Janie Tuttlee A taste of old New Orleans, se- quined tuxedoes, a bit of wit, and music from around the globe were parts of Doc Severinsen’s prescrip- tion to cure the end-of-quarter blahs. On May 3, Severinsen and 84 members of the Muncie Sym- phony Orchestra jazz-rocked Emens Auditorium into spring. The show’s theme was “Old New Orleans,” and Emens and Severinsen were decked out ap- propriately. Area bigwigs sat at white-clothed tables in a lobby decorated like a street in Paris. Complete with wicker wine racks, croissants, baguettes, black lace fans and a cajun-style buffet, Emens set the atmosphere for a night of jazz. Twenty minutes before the show began, the stage was set with emp- ty chairs and still instruments. The audien ce drifted into the auditorium, and the only sound was the beat of a lone kettle drum- mer tuning up. Slowly the stage filled as, one by one, the tuxedoed musicians took their places for the concert. Next, a lone trumpet player join- ed the sound of the drums, follow- ed by a cello, a violin, a bassoon and a harp. Finally, the stage was full. From row JJ, seat 406, the stage looked small. And it was amazing that so many musicians warming up in so many different notes could coordinate themselves. Suddenly the playing stopped and the lights dimmed. The MSO lassic Trumpeteer plays Muncie began with the orchestra playing first a lively French Can Can by Offenbach and followed with Bizet's “Carmen Suite 2” for a taste of Spain. Finally, Doc joined the or- chestra. After a simple “Here’s Doc Severinsen” introduction, Doc jumped in with a trumpet concerto by Werle. Clad in a black sequined tuxedo, a la Michael Jackson, he began with a showy solo and an American spiritual movement. He followed with a pounding kettle drum for a South American Samba influence before the intermission. The crowd provided a standing ovation, but Doc shared the credit as he waved MSO Director Leonard Atherton back onto stage. Severinsen, best known as the trumpet-playing music director of the “Tonight Show,” is also resi- dent conductor of the Phoenix Pops. Playing to diverse audiences all over the country, Severinsen frequents stages in Las Vegas, Atlantic City and on college cam- puses. On this night it was clear Doc had become a Muncie favorite. Intermission provided an MSO performance of a “Porgy and Bess” medley by Gershwin. Afterward Doc joined the or- chestra, this time wearing a pink shirt and a grey sequined tux, the sleeves rolled up like he meant business, The next movement was Le- cuona’s “Malaguena,” with Doc blasting on his horn to the beat of a newly added drum set, piano and electric guitar. Doc even danc- ed a little as the piano player played a solo, and the guitar, drums and synthesizer followed with solos of their own. Doc then strayed form the pro- gram with his own rendition of “When the Saints Go Marching In.” Up to this time, Doc had not said a word to the audience but his wit came through when he finally did speak during the spunkiest part of the show. He swung his hips, and as his face almost burst on his highest note he said with a smile, “And I’m not even done yet!” Then Doc played with the au- dience. “Let me hear an ole!” “Ole!” the audience answered. “How ya feelin’ this evenin’??” he asked. And in response to the au- dience’s loud reply, he said, G6 “That's more like the Ball spirit!” Back to the program, Doc got even livelier. His fingers flew, like that Ball cheeks blew, toes tapped, lips a. smacked. Face red, Doc led the or- Sp | rit! chestra into a medley of songs im- yb) portant to America’s music history. Billy Joel, Elvis Presley, Bread, the Beatles and John Lennon were represented. Doc even took the conductor's place near the end of the show. “I don’t conduct as well as I play, but I try my best,” he said, raising his arms, wiggling his tush, and leading the MSO out of the grand finale medley. The show, a perfect taste of “Old New Orleans,” was just what the doctor ordered. @ Rocky Rothrock Members of the School of Music seize the opportunity to socialize with Doc Severinsen backstage.

Rocky Rothrock LEANER TTR TY g Rocky Rothrock eby Angie Fullenkampe Some Ball State University tradi- | tions have been around as long as the | university itself, and even if their | origins and initial purposes have since faded, they remain an important part | of campus life. For over 35 years ; Campus Chest has raised money for | campus and community organiza- ) tions. “Campus Chest began in the ’40s as | war relief,” Sue Wanzer said. Wanzer | is director of Student Voluntary Ser- vices, the main sponsor of the event. ) “In the 50s the activity died out at most universities because there was no need. For some reason, however, | it kept going at BSU,” Wanzer said. | Finding organizations in need of | funding was never difficult, and perhaps that contributed to keeping | the tradition alive. “Any campus or community service | can apply by citing on a funding form | a specific need,” Wanzer said. “This request is reviewed by a committee which makes the determination where the money goes.” At the end of the week’s activities, however, the goal of $8,500 had not been met. “For the most part, the students who worked on the committe were disappointed,” Wanzer said. “But given the activities and the fact that every year money is tighter for college students, $5,500 was not a bad amount. “We were able to provide funding for all who asked,” she added. “It may not have been for the full amount, but each organization receiv- ed something.” Campus organizations benefitting from Campus Chest’s coffers were Disabled Students in Action ($200), Hearing Impaired Support Services ($200), Student Council for Excep- tional Children ($400), Student Foun- dation ($1,000), Miss Ball State ($500), BACCHUS ($400),and SVS ($900). The three other groups receiving funding were community services: Alpha Center ($500), Aquarius House ($200) and Gateway Health Clinic ($500). The total donation after expenses, $4,800, was also a good figure because in past years larger totals had been whittled down by large ex- penses. A greater percentage of the money collected during the activities went to the organizations rather than toward paying bills. “This year we kept our expenses low,” Wanzer said. “The Dd for the All-Campus Dance, for example, donated his time and also let us use his equipment for the Air Jam free of charge. In the past we’ve paid $800 for that service.” The week of activities was full of student sacrifices for the benefit of others. Two organizations joined SVS in its fundraising attempt. Stu- dent Center Programming Board sponsored a new event, a 10K Fun Run, and also showed the movie “Halloween” especially for the week. Residence Hall Association spon- sored a $250 prize for the residence hall participation award. Another change from previous years was a switch from the tradi- tional Dance Marathon to an All- Campus Dance because only one couple entered the contest. Despite the last-minute change, the event was a success. “At 9:00 we hadn’t had anybody,” Mike Reuter, Muncie sophomore and business manager for Campus Chest, said. “At 10:00 we had about 150 people packed into the Tally.” “Things come and go,” Wanzer said. “The Dance Marathon hit its peak about three years ago. When | first started working here eight years ago, no one thought of doing an Air $8,500 challenge Bands and boppers benefit campus coffers Jam. Now it’s really big.” The fourth annual Air Jam brought out the bands and the bop- pers alike on Halloween night. Schmidt Hall’s “Shake Well Before Using” took first place with their ren- dition of Stray Cats’ “Rock This Town.” A mass of boppers swarmed the stage for Delta Chi Survivor's performance of “First Night,” which won second place. In third, another Delta Chi band fiddled their way through Alabama’s “If You’re Gonna Play in Texas, You’ve Gotta Have a Fiddle in the Band.” Air Jam was just one event in which organizations could score par- ticipation points. Some points were awarded for entering a contest, others for placing in the competition and some for sheer numbers in at- tendance at a given event. “Some organizations can raise much more than the average group simply because of the structure of their organization,” Wanzer said. “So a couple years we started this system to give credence to participants as well as those who raise money.” Palmer Hall and Davidson Hall joined forces to claim the residence hall prize, and for the third year in a row, Sigma Kappa sorority held on to the Greek title. “There have always been Sigma Kappas on the steering board,” Sigma Kappa Jill Dimick, Muncie senior, said. “We’ve always par- ticipated a lot to support them.” From the residence halls to the suites and houses, students gave a part of themselves to give to others in need. “We like to point out that students do more than have parties, trash people’s lawns and urinate in the middle of the street,” Wanzer said. “They do a lot for the community. The organizations who receive money think Ball State students are great.” @ eRay Shepard The Greek Auction is engineered by Viki Schauer.

The march, conducted in memory of Mar- tin Luther King Jr., ended at the First Presbyterian Church on Riverside Avenue. Rocky Rothrock Working together Unity week encourages acceptance eby Angie Fullenkampe Clasped hands. Working hands, playing hands, clapping hands, holding hands, touching hands. Black hands crossed on a red background were the symbol of Unity Week, Jan. 13-19 The buttons appeared on lapels, blouses and coats among the 30 peo- ple who had gathered to hear pro- clamations from President Worthen and Muncie Mayor James Carey at the Proclamation Brunch. Dr. Richard McKee, assistant to the president, placed a plaque in the hands of Fort Wayne junior Beverly Armour, Black Student Association vice president of political affairs, and the week was of- ficially under way. The first of the week-long events had actually occurred the day before when two teams battled for first place in the Roundball Classic. Risk Factor, an all-black team, defeated the all- white Irish 98-54 to carry off the shin- ing trophy. Also promoting the week's theme, “Working Together Works,” was an open mike session in the Tally. Speakers from the predominantly black crowd called for increased unity in Ball State’s community. “We're working for unity between black and white and black and black,” said Shereen Dawson, Michigan City junior. “It takes a special individual to build someone else up. We need to say to each other ‘You can make it.’ Because if we don't listen to our own people, who will?” For other speakers, improving unity between blacks and whites was a topic of concern. “If we’re going to go out there and work in what we like to call the real world, we're not going to be working with a roomful of black people,” Melody Perry, Michigan City junior, said. “We have to make an effort to get to know others.” Scattered among the group of 30 were a few white students, and one took the stage after a black student called on them to speak for their race. “| have to be honest,” Paul Dunn, Muncie senior, said. “] came here not for the event, but for the food. I have enjoyed it. | can’t say | agree with everything that’s been said, but this is America, and anybody should be able to speak. “| don’t want you to be under my feet, but | don’t want you to be up here either,” Dunn said, motioning above his head. “I want you to be by my side.” At 9 p.m., when the event was to end Williams was the last person to take the mike. “Let's do what these buttons say,” she said, referring to the buttons bearing clasped hands which had been distributed among the au- dience. The group stood and held hands as Armour said a closing prayer. “Martin Luter King said ‘Doors are opening now that never were before. The greatest challenge facing minorities today is to enter those | doors as they open,” she said. “His | part is done; we must take over from | here.” | Dr. King was quoted and revered | throughout the week, and a march and memorial service were designated _ to recognize his work. | The Minority Student Development | House was full. A box that held candles was almost empty. Sixty peo- ple, including Dr. Worthen and his wife, lit candles one-by-one as they left the house, cupping a hand to _ guard the flickering flame from the wind. Armour led the march singing with | Student Association President Jill Dimick, Muncie senior, “Soon, very | soon, we are going to see the King. Alleluia, alleluia.” Escorted by Ball State police cruisers, the group marched down McKinley to the Scramble Light, where the procession turned right headed toward First Presbyterian Church on Riverside. “If he were here tonight, he'd be happy to see just how far we’ve come,” the Rev. Julius James, a friend of the slain civil-rights leader, said. “On the other hand he’d have his head hung low because we have so far to go. “He saw that day when we would all join hands--black men, white men, all men--and sing that old Negro spiritual: Free at Last, free at last, thank God we are free at last.” James praised Worthen for atten- ding the dinner and fashion show, an event that would have been unheard of 20 years ago and said he was glad to see some white people among the audience. However, more white ad- ministrators than white students were in attendance. After a chicken dinner from Famous Recipe, Armour spoke during a break in a fashion show held at the church.

The BSU Gospel Ensemble made their second appearance of the week and they brought the clapping and cheering crowd to its feet. “Through the storm and the rain, you can make it. Through your pressure and your pain, you can take it. Don’t give up.” In a hypnotic rhythmic beat, the clapping hands and marching feet kept on, striving ever toward the goal of unity. @ particpated in the event.

As part of | her other prizes, Miss Ball State represents the university in the Miss | Indiana pageant which is a | preliminary for the Miss America pageant in Atlantic City. To get to Atlantic City is hard work though. To test the security of her hat for the competition Kikirk tapped soft- | ly through her routine. “Sometimes | think I’m getting too old to do this anymore,” she said. “I just can’t af- ford to spend any more money.” Most of the contestants were spon- sored by fraternities, sororities or residence halls, but several were either independently sponsored or represented area businesses. Despite the sponsorship, however, the pageant was expensive in more ways than simple finances. “| found it takes a lot more time than people think,” Gay Bornhorst, Botkins, Ohio, sophomore, said. “I didn’t think there'd be that many rehearsals for just one show.” Rehearsals had begun with the con- testants’ return to campus in January and continued for three nights a week until the week before the pageant. But as the actual competition approached, however, for some there just wasn’t enough time. As several girls left to wait downstairs for their turn, the first contestant returned. “The mike kept falling over,” Donetta Cox, Otisco freshman, said, slumping into one of the chairs along the wall. “A piano solo sounds a lot different when you're at home than when you're nervous. | wish | could just do it over.” For some girls, handling the stress was more difficult than any part of the competition. “Last year I said | wouldn't do it again,” Joan Merricks, Sharpsville junior, said. The twirler was second runner-up in the 1985 pageant. “There’s just so much stress and worry since it lasts so long.” Last minute changes and problems caused some contestants more con- cern than others. “| ended up changing my song three days before prelims,” Mischon Stigleman, Muncie junior, said. “I had to take a cheat sheet on stage during dress rehearsal because | didn’t know the words. This was my very first pageant.” After all the worry, mental prepara- tion, and practice, time was up. The many weeks of practicing the produc- tion number were presented in three and a half minutes of dancing to “I’ve Got a New Attitude,” sung by, Miss Ball State 1985, Jeana Tenerelli. The contestants were introduced again in their evening gowns and the top 10 were announced. A black cur- tain lowered between them and the remaining 30 girls. Previous scores were erased and the contest began again. The 10 semi-finalists competed in evening gown, swimsuit and talent competitions. “Talent was 50 percent, so | think it was the hardest part for all of us,” Merricks said. “As a twirler I have to worry about the lights, the height of the ceiling, the floor. A pianist can drop a note and it’s not as noticeable. If | drop my baton, you can’t miss it.” Almost two and a half hours after the pageant began, the results were final. Mischon Stigelman was crown- ed Miss Ball State 1986. As Stigleman pursued the dream, those whose labor did not bring them the crown resulted in the inevitable questions of “what if.” “| think if | hadn't dropped the baton twice, | would have won,” first runner-up, Merricks said. “I really have a big desire to go to Miss In- diana.” Having faced this hurdle twice and having come so close, Merricks had not decided how much further she would pursue “every girl's dream.” After all she had been through she could say only, “Now I'll have to wait until next year to decide if Pll do it again.” @ Andrew Johnston Only the 10 semi- finalists, such as junior Polly Nikirk, compete in the bathing suit competi- tion.

On Campus Days, a week set aside to recognize and promote all aspects of residence hall life, has traditionally occurred in winter, a time known for depression and doldrums in the halls. It was the first year the Feud had been part of the week’s activities and Splish Splash had not been. “Splish Splash is old, and we wanted something new,” Karin Char- pie, Indianapolis freshman, said. “When we passed out the surveys, a lot of people said they were interested (in the Feud). | think it got a lot more interest than Splish Splash would have.” Twenty-three “families” fought to What, ME?

Although most clans went by the name of their residence halls, a few, such as the Menk Mice, the Wastelands (Shively Hall), and the Towns (Hurst Hall), had a complete family tree. The smashed styrofoam cups filled the garbage cans in TC M-1 before Shively, Woody and Williams won the coed, women’s and men’s divi- sions, respectively. Each family won $25 in desk supplies for their hall, in addition to pizza coupons or movie passes for each team member. The losing families, like the real-life ones on television, got their consola- tion prizes. During the week, the halls accumulated points for participation in events such as the Feud because the hall with the most points would be awarded $50 in desk supplies. Many halls submitted their plans for Be Kind to Your Housekeeper Day and Maintenance People Day to add to their score. Most halls decorated service elevators, made signs and prepared punch and cookies for the employees’ breaks. Other activities with high point values were the bulletin board and and room judging competitions. Botsford Hall won the former from among 21 entrants. The room judging was also very competitive because some halls held preliminary contests. Su ¢Terri Kohne Contestants Kristina Horn and Katie McLellan support fellow com- petitors as finalists are announced. The four finalists answered impromp- tu questions to determine who would wear the white sash and reign as Miss Residence Hall. “We really didn’t expect anything, but we won our hall competition,” Michelle Gotwals, Rushville junior, | said. Gotwals’ room went on to win the campus-wide contest for women’s ) rooms. It was the second year that she and Karen Rockwood, Zionsville junior, had roomed together in David- son. “When the judges came, they were talking about the color coordina- tion. We planned it out but it was nothing extreme.” A triple room in Swinford, occupied by Tracy Cross, Bluffton senior, and | Brad and Thad Schrader, Columbia City seniors, won the men’s division. Mr. and Ms. Residence Hall, the next of the week’s activities, con- tinued the recognition of people and their important roles in residence hall life as reflected in the theme for the week, “For the Hall of It.” Thirteen men and 17 women competed in in- terviews, casual wear and formal wear competition. A crowd of 40 spectators gathered | in TC M-2 to cheer the candidates as they executed their runway walks and | turns. During the casual wear, can- | didates gave their name, hometown and major. The contestants modeled styles ranging from jeans to corduroy | to casual twill pants topped by ox- | fords and sweaters. While competing in formal wear, which included three-piece suits and | | a tuxedo for the men and tea-length formals and skirts for the women, the contestants outlined some of their hall and campus activities, as well as other information of interest. “This is my new suit and | hemm- ed the pants myself,” Todd Alexander, Anderson senior, said. It was a state- ment that prompted each male ap- pearing after him to comment on his own sewing prowess. After the top four finalists were chosen in both categories, each answered an impromptu question for the final phase of the competition. The judges made their last tabulations and Hurlbut’s candidate, Jerry DeFord, Noblesville senior, was given his sash as Mr. Residence Hall 1986. Judi Cannon, New Castle junior and Swinford’s candidate, put her hands to her mouth in disbelief as the white sash with gold lettering declaring her Ms. Residence Hall 1986 was pinned on. “| was so very excited | don’t remember how | reacted,” Cannon said. “I think it’s worth the process because it encourages people to get involved. They will think it’s a chance to get more recognition than just in their hall. I know | feel like I've done a lot of hard work, and now someone else has recognized that.” The halls’ last chances to score were also the events in which residents could have fun “just for the hall of it.” The men’s basketball game against the University of Toledo was the site for the banner and spirit con- test. Four halls -- Palmer, Wood, Knotts-Edwards and Menk -- displayed their banners as the pace of the game moved them, cheering the Cards toward a 67-57 victory. They worked their way toward more points for the hall and seven pizzas from Greek’s for themselves. Palmer won with an airbrush- painted banner in yellows, blues and reds that said, “For the Hall of It AL! Put Charles in Charge!” and the reference to Charles Smith seemed ap- propriate especially during the second half, when the player made a show of nabbing airballs and dunking the ball. After the game, the Palmer residents carried the banner back to the hall, cheering all the way. Mean- while, across campus in DeMotte, the all-campus dance was winding up to close out the week’s activities. Nearly 75 people danced under the red, white and pink streamers. Until 1 a.m., newcomers added their names to the participation points list and joined the others on the floor. Although Woody Hall captured the overall participation award, for employees, student leaders and indi- vidual residents, it had been a week of recognition for all who participated.@ With a hand ready at the styrofoam-cup _ buzzer, Jill Seemann awaits her chance at stardom in the Feud.

Summer and his band rocked Universi- ty Hall and provided the highlight of Greek Week. eby Cheri Evanse Four Greek students burst through the doors of the Student Center Ballroom. Judges, who had been calm almost to the point of boredom, quickly sat upright as team members nearly stumbled over one another in an effort to reach them. The Greeks deposited a brown paper bag on the judges’ table and began extracting its contents. “Here, I've got a necklace,” one member said, while another pulled out a Domino's pizza box. Then, “We got the signature of an AOPi guy,” so- meone said, while another Greek call- ed out, “Here’s our picture of Ronald Reagan.” A Daily News cleared the edge of the bag, and the judges bent over their lists, carefully checking off each item. Before the judges could finish, another group burst through the door. It was Feb. 5, the height of Greek Week. And the scavenger hunt at Ac- tivities Night was underway. After each team deposited all they had filched, bought or borrowed, the judges declared a tie for first place, awarding five points to members of each team. The purpose of Greek Week, entitl- ed “Greeks at Their Peak,” was two- fold. In part, it was to declare the “most Greek-oriented” fraternity and sorority. “The main point of it is to support the Greek system as a whole, to show that it’s good to be in the Greek system, not just be a Delta Zeta or an Alpha Chi Omega, but to be Greek in general,” Jayne Filler, Highland junior, said. Filler, a Delta Zeta Greek Week chairman, explained how points were given at each event which went toward awards at the end of the week. “For the competition points, you support your own sorority, but it’s not really that competitive,” she said. “It’s just trying to see how many people compete and to show off your sorority and the Greek system.” The philanthropic reason for Greek Week was to raise money for Han- dicapped Services. “We had a good outcome,” Delta Zeta Cari Brown, Valparaiso sophomore, said. “I think all the Greeks showed enthusiasm in Todd A. Phelps TO a TE ERR IE TE I CES TE ETE ! | ) W | raising money for Handicapped Ser- vices.” The first activity to realize these goals was Collection Days, which ran Feb. 2-4. Volunteers worked the area around the Scramble Light, appealing to car drivers and passersby for dona- tions. Next on the week’s agenda, the Variety Show stormed U-Hall the night of Feb. 4. Spectators filled the aisles as well as all the seats to watch fraternity and sorority members display their talents on stage. The room became the site of a cheering contest as Greeks performed everything from comedy acts to solos to lip-syncs. And then came Activities Night. An hour's worth of fun and frolic preced- ed the scavenger hunt in the form of sub-eating, balloon-blowing and ice cream-eating contests. The next big activity of Greek Week came Feb. 6 as the rock’n’roll of Henry Lee Summer throbbed through U-Hall. After ignoring a torrent of sleet, hail and snow, scores of people clustered outside the U-Hall’s doors in the cold, waiting to get in. And once they did, nothing could hold them back.

I love to make noise. And, | love to have big fun.” Greek Week continued Feb. 8 with a skating marathon at Skate-Away. Two skaters from each participating organization literally skated in circles from midnight to 10 a.m. to claim their previously solicited pledges. Spectators also participated in the fun, but they didn’t have to observe the no-stopping rule facing the weary con- testants. Participants skated in an assortment of zany costumes, such as Alpha Chi’s “Flamin’ Babes,” whose diapered costumes won first place, and the “Cookie Monster and Big Bird” outfit, which took second place. Capping off the week was Grand Chapter on Feb. 9. To culminate the week's hard work and fun, awards were presented for the week as well as the year. As each award was an- nounced, the fraternity or sorority stood with one great roar to celebrate Rocky Rothrock Mellow tunes vibrate from the vocalist on backup for Summer’s band.

The evening became one long series of supporting cheers as trophies were awarded, such as “highest GPA for Fall Quarter” to Delta Delta Delta, “biggest participator in philanthropic events” to Alpha Sigma Alpha and Sigma Chi, and “outstanding Greek achiever” to Sigma Kappa’s Toni Pur- vis and Delta Chi’s Brad Mendenhall. Then the most coveted award for Greek Week was presented by Dan Murphy, general chairman. “The Greeks are at their peak in 1986,” he said. “Throughout this past week, there have been two organizations that have stood out among the crowd. They have truly earned the title ‘Most Greek-Oriented Chapter of 1986.” The newest sorority on campus, Delta Zeta, and the fraternity which has won the award for the past five years, Delta Tau Delta, were honored. The night, as well as the week, end- ed with a slideshow that captured all the memories and meaning of being Greek. As Sabrina Maxwell, Alpha Sigma Alpha sophomore said, “Because of the slide show you get to see what everyone else is doing. You get to see the real sisterhood and brotherhood between sororities and fraternities.” @ [ Horror flicks have been spoofed in many comedy skits, and ‘‘Nightmare on Elm Street’’ provides Jeff Elixman with the basis for his Greek Week comedy act.

Rocky Rothrock Greek Weeke) 3 S4encca Hoosier hysteria, Cardinals’ style Team faces Memphis State in Ist-round NCAA action eby Charmaine Balsleye Every team sets goals. These goals are the driving forces which give the team inspiration and unity. Most teams, however, fall short in meeting the goals. Such was not the case for the men’s basketball team. The team set three major goals: win 20 games, win the Mid-American Conference championship, and go to the National Collegiate Athletic Association tourney. When the Car- dinal season drew to an end, all goals had been conquered. When regular season play ended, the team had only won 18 games. People looked upon the team with disappointment. The players, however, still had their goals in sight and were out to prove they could meet them. The Cardinals knew they must win two games to meet their first goal. Th e team demonstrated an excellent ability to work together as they crushed Western Michigan and Ohio in the MAC tournament on their way to the final game against Miami. The team played its best basketball against Ohio, breaking the MAC record for field goal percentage and defeating the Bobcats by 23 points. The team had done what many thought they couldn’t: win 20 games. As the team worked together as a whole, two individual players had something else to prove. Seniors Chris Shelton, Danville, Ill., and Larry Reed, Madison, Wis., were out to show they were two of the best guards in the conference. Neither had been named to any of the All-MAC teams. Michigan City senior Dan Palombizio was selected to the first team, but his was the only Cardinal appearance on the roster. In the final game of the champion- ships, the men knew all their goals would be complete if they won the game before them. A win against Miami would mean an automatic bid to the NCAA. But Miami had defeated the Cards in their two regular season meetings. The team went onto the floor with determination and confidence; they left the floor as MAC tournament champions. The team defeated Miami 87-79 and proved it was a better team on a neutral court. Palombizio was named the tourna- ment’s Most Valuable Player by a two- vote margin over teammate Shelton. Palombizio and Shelton were both named to the all-tournament team. The team, 21-9, had now become the most winning team in Ball State history. The team had met its goals and was on its way to the NCAA tournament. The regained support for the team was evident. More than 150 fans met the team as it returned home from the MAC championships. University President John Worthen read from a Rockford, Ill., newspaper: “They should rename the school ‘Basketball State.” The same day the Cardinals return- ed, it was announced that the team would be meeting Memphis State in the first round of the NCAA in the Southeast Region at Baton Rouge, La. Memphis State received the No. 4 seed in the Southeast Region and was ranked 10th in the nation. The Cardinals went into the tourna- ment with the intention of playing the best basketball they could. They were united as a team and enthusiastic about the upcoming game. The team was so enthusiastic that many of the players had gone out the week before and gotten crew cuts, giv- ing them the appearance of the basketball players in the movie “Hoosiers.” Head Coach Al Brown told the team that if they won the game he would get his hair cut in any style the team chose. Unfortunately, the Cards’ NCAA hopes were shattered as Memphis State won the game 95-63. Memphis State overpowered the team throughout the game, and early foul trouble caused the Cardinals to play a weak game, ending in defeat. The Cardinals ended the season 21- 10. The men proved to many that they were better than had ever been expected. The players, under what they felt was excellent coaching, met every goal they had set and trium- phantly earned their way into the record books. @ Victory over Miami of Ohio results in winning smiles for seniors Chris Shelton and Larry Reed.

SEL EF IPPC L, ae heh eAndrew Johnston NCAADD Histrionics Theatre has international first by Bob O’Bannone Flying to Ireland is not a normal part of life in the Muncie Civic Theatre, but the company’s per- formance in May in the land of green suggests that maybe they should travel more often. The theatre group returned to Mun- cie June | after winning several awards for its performance of “A Raisin in the Sun” in the Dundalk In- ternational Amateur Theatre competi- tion in Dundalk, Ireland. The group’s return brought a large crowd of admir- ing people to the Civic Theatre on the night of June 1. “] think we're all a little light- headed and dizzy now,” James Har- din, the play’s director and associate professor of theatre at Ball State said. “We're afraid it’s all a dream and we might wake up and find out it’s not true.” The group won first-place awards in five categories: best actor (James Wesley Williams), best actress (De Tate), best director (Hardin), best pro- duction and an award from the au- dience. The last award was given to the group that won the most votes from the audience for the best per- formance. Beth Quarles and Cindy Williams also won scrolls for outstan- ding performances. De Tate and James Wesley Williams are former Ball State students. Cindy Williams and Dante Shaw, another member of the group, are current students. The other members of the cast are Muncie residents. “It took me by surprise,” James 5 Bemuncie Civic Theatre Wesley Williams said of the ex- perience. “I knew as a cast we were good but I had no idea we would win as many awards as we did.” Tate said one of the things that stood out to her was ‘the reaction to people of color.” “One lady said, ‘It’s so nice to look out and see your brown skin. We're sick of seeing white faces all over,” Tate said. When the group returned to the United States at Boston’s airport, Tate said she really noticed a difference. “It really hit when we got back to Boston. There was no kindness or hospitality that we had been used to for the past 10 days.” She said the colored population of Dundalk was zero. The Muncie group was the only U.S. participant in the contest, although the competition included 10 groups from different countries, in- cluding Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, England and Israel. Hardin said each group performed its play on separate evenings and was judged by Irish director Barry Cassin. The winning performance wasn't the only thing Hardin liked about the trip. The country itself also pleased him. “| loved it. It’s gorgeous and the people were wonderful,” he said. Unfortunately, there probably will be no more opportunities to see the play, despite requests for an encore performance. “| hope we can put it to rest because we have four more shows to work on,” Hardin said. @ pS Be eJeff Mastin Restraint shows in the faces of James Wesley Williams won the best Beth Y.

Jeff Mastin Muncie Civic Theatres D ré | 5 Semuscle Madness Games lead to flex appeal eby Angie Fullenkampe The sky was as blue as it could get. No clouds marred its smooth surface, and so the sun shined down freely on LaFollette Field. Hawaiian shorts and net football jerseys were sprinkled liberally throughout the crowd which had gathered for Sigma Kappa soror- ity’s second annual Muscle Madness. Any observer would have believed it was a warm second day of spring. For those fraternity members and the Sigma Kappas who were on the field, it might as well have been sum- mer. The 200 participants jumped, rolled, tugged and ate their way through the games while the Kappas cheered them on and judged the events, and they did it all despite 35- degree temperatures and a stiff southwest wind that blew all day. “Some of the houses have screwdriver breakfasts, and so they don’t mind the weather. They like it,” Christa Thiemrodt, Kokomo junior, said. “The guys always like the games. It’s just the coldness.” All but two of the fraternities ex- pected were represented on walkout, Thiemrodt said. Several of the frater- nities had more than one team of five, and the Sigma Kappa member estimated that the number of teams had doubled from the year before. For the first event, most teams pick- ed their biggest man. On the tables in front of the emcee’s stand were plates heaped with hot dogs. Each man had his own technique for stuffing down the most dogs in one minute. “| almost choked on the first one. That’s why I was so slow,” John Flaugh, Fort Wayne freshman, said. The Delta Tau Delta member swallow- ed nine hot dogs by consuming three at a time. The teams competed in one more game, the hula hoop relay, before the four other events were set up to run simultaneously. Tug-o-war, cageball, the blind wheelbarrow race and the obstacle course kept the teams busy, and the Sigma Kappas, easily iden- tified by their purple Muscle Madness polo shirts, coordinated the masses with the ease of a year’s experience. The field was still muddy from the winter’s precipitation, and those who tiptoed around in an effort to keep their Reeboks clean soon gave up the effort. After each pull in the tug-o- war, the rope was moved to a fresh patch of grass so each team would have a fair chance of digging in. Shouts of “Pull! Pull! Pull!” drifted across the field on the wind as teams tried to coordinate their efforts. But even the most valiant teams fell vic- tim to the mud. Theta Chi Andy Hon- nold, Muncie sophomore, landed on his chest when his team lost. “T couldn't dig! | tried!” he said, grinning despite the streak of mud smeared on his chest. “I was really hurting!” Across the field, cageball was suffer- ing its own problem at the hands of the weather. Players tried to keep the ball from hitting the ground while kicking it from a crabwalk position on the ground. Because the wind’s persis- tent force placed half of the players at a disadvantage, the teams switched sides partway through each game. The most popular game of the after- noon was the obstacle course. Each team member hopped in a sack, jumped back and forth across a rope, spun around a bat five times, crossed a balance beam, executed three somersaults and dove through a card- board box before running back to the start to tag the next team member. Laughter constantly erupted from that Beauty and brawn brave cold for benefit side of the field when the men tried to find the balance beam while still dizzy from spinning around the bat. “It really messes up your brain,” Doug Derringer, Beech Grove freshman, said. As the last heats of each game were completed, the teams began to gather again in front of the emcee’s stand. Several pulled their spray-painted ban- ners from their stakes and carried them, cheering and singing loudly. Their jumping up and down wasn't just to keep warm. The spirit contest was still on, and each member of the winning team would get his own free pizza. The final event, the carryall, had each team contorting in every possi- ble manner to travel 50 feet on only three limbs. The winner, Phi Delta Theta fraternity, was also awarded first place overall and one month free at Silhouette Spa for each member. Theta Xi and Delta Chi fraternities won second and third overall, respec- tively, for which members received awards such as movie passes and gift certificates to On the Ball. Sigma Tau Gamma fraternity received a plaque and free pizzas for the spirit contest. Penny voting results had Theta Chi Bruce Berry, Muncie senior, crowned as Muscle Madness King. When the awards ceremony was concluded, the crowd quickly began to disperse. Something to warm the chilled bodies awaited more than one fraternity back at the house. But the Sigma Kappas, who remained behind to clear the field, had something less material to warm their hearts if not their whole bodies: Muscle Madness had earned $200 for their philan- thropic, the Alpha Center. The warm inner feeling was worth suffering the nip of the wind still blowing from the southwest. @ Be. m | .

Muscle Madnesse 9 , 4) OO-carh Day Dedicated to nature Earth Day survives apathetic students eby Angie Fullenkampe When the shadows were still long across the grass of the Quad, a lone figure lugged a steel garbage can half- full of water to where a tulip tree had just been planted. Earth Day had begun and Chris Harmon, co- chairperson of the natural resources club, was alone as he watered the seedling. The shadows had lengthened again when the White River clean-up began. About 30 natural resources students and Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity members tramped along a five-mile stretch of riverbank for the last scheduled event of Earth Day. A seedling white pine is planted in the Quad by the hands of Scott Cook and Chris Harmon. The two took part in Earth Day to convey their concerns for the environment. From beginning to end, Earth Day was the project of a few dedicated people who would not stand by to see the event fade away. The 85-degree weather and the prominence of IU’s Little 500 and Purdue's Grand Prix siphoned away any audience the club might have expected, and the people left were those who already had strong concerns about the earth. “Most of you people out here have some concern about the environ- ment,” Harmon, an Indianapolis freshman, said in a general announce- ment to the Quad. “The problem is the people that are walking by and not getting involved. If everybody could do just a little bit, we could make things a lot better,” he Rocky Rothrock Taking advantage of the sunny day, Warren Smith skateboards his way around the Quad. Some students had leisure, rather than the environ- ment on their minds during Earth Day. said. Passersby might have stopped at one of three tables set up by the an- thropology department, United Cam- puses to Prevent Nuclear War and the Natural Resources Club The “Think Global Act Local” T-shirts at the club table were popular, and UCAM’s peace buttons went quickly. But the students didn’t stay. Senior Jay Jackson pulled people off the sidewalk to sign a petition urging an allotment of $1 per tax return for acid rain research. “| think students would care if it immediately affected them,” Leonard Meyer, Plainfield freshman, said. “But if it’s someone else, they don’t care.” William Crankshaw, professor of biology, spoke on the effects of acid rain, and about 20 people attended the talk in West Quad. “He said one species extincts every day and that forests and habitats are being destroyed,” Donna Davis, Col- umbus freshman, said. “It was kind of sad. | didn’t realize all the damage acid rain does cause until my natural resources class.” For Davis and other natural resources students who attended Earth Day to get extra credit, the day was a disappointment. “Tm disappointed that there were supposed to be some lecturers that haven’t shown up,” Wayne Flannery, Muncie freshman, said. “It’s disap- pointing that people try to set up eAndrew Johnston things and then don’t show up. | think it's nice that people are trying to improvise now.” _ On the Arts Terrace, Therese War- _ ten, Sellersburg senior, Jamie | Johnson, Anderson junior, and Chris Layer, Lafayette junior, had formed a trio of voice, guitar and bassoon. “This reminds me of something you'd find in the May Day demonstra- tions of 1971-72,” Flannery said. “It’s ironic how things come full circle. But it’s nice to know that people are expressing themselves rather than just , laying back.” Earlier in the day, a circle of people under the trees took turns reading _ verses from Gary Snyder’s Riprap and Cold Mountain Poems, and Warren spoke about the complacency of peo- ple today. “People have it good,” she said. “They have the things they want and | they tend not to see beyond their world. It would take a shock to blow them out of their contentment.” The peaceful atmosphere on the Quad was broken only by the occa- sional barking of dogs leaping to catch frisbees and the isolated guitar chord on the breeze. Forty-five minutes after he was scheduled to speak about nuclear war, history professor John Barber came striding across the Quad, joking about having to push his way through the crowd. “This the 16th day we've had Earth if i | i Day,” he said. “On the first day we had 1,000 people at any one time--a lot more people than are here today. Back then we weren't concerned about nuclear war. We were concern- ed about the environment.” “In the last year | have seen more people doing more to slow down the arms race than ever before,” Barber said. “Five years ago | could only have thought of one thing to do--- disarmament. Now I can think of five or six things to do.” As Barber left, Harmon and Scott Cook, Tipton junior, prepared to plant the second tree, a white pine, in the ongoing “war against the Physical Plant.” “The Quad is a nice place because of the trees,” Harmon said. “The Physical Plant sprays herbicide around the trees so that they don’t have to mow around them. There was an argument as to whether the trees were dying because of that. It has been somehow proven that they are not, but we think the Physical Plant should be planting two to three times more trees and then thinning out the ones that don’t make it.” Harmon sat at the club table, helped people pick out T-shirts, and worried about the absence of the speaker from the Soil Conservation Society. “We're surprised we even got the planning done,” he said. “We're hap- py people are showing up and show- WAL RE. ‘AL CUissice 8 i ing an interest.” However, Harmon hoped for a bet- ter turnout in the future. “Next year we are going to have three or four hard-core people really into planning this,” he said. “We'll have a year to plan instead of three weeks. We hope to make the clean-up a continuing tradition.” About 30 people gathered at Westside Park to help clean up the grounds along the White River, ac- cording to Brad Dick, Muncie freshman and a member of Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity. The clean-up was co- sponsored by the fraternity and the natural resources club. “| was expecting a lot more people, but it was a good turnout,” Dick said. “We had about 10 natural resources people and 20 Phi Sigs. The area looked a lot better when we were finished.” The group picked up about 25 bags full of garbage on their five-mile trek, Dick said. “We feel we should get involved in the community,” he said. “It'll be a good community project to continue in the upcoming years.” Between the fraternity, the natural resources club and the other organiza- tions represented at Earth Day, the event had been saved from extinction. It was the dedication of a few that began and ended a day that could have disappeared into a haze of apathy. @ One of three display tables in the quad spon- sors an_ anti-nuclear message.

Courses in stagecraft, ac- basic groundwork for students’ became a new kind of classroom. “Our production program is viewed as an integral part of the training process, somewhat akin to a chemistry laboratory,” Don LaCasse, chairman of the department, said. “It really is our lab for what the students learn in the classroom.” The training process began early in the two laboratories which the department used to teach students, Mainstage Theatre and Studio Theatre. Operated separately, the plays for Mainstage were selected by students and approved by the faculty directors and the depart- ment chairman. For Studio, proposals were reviewed by the Studio Board. “The more popular stuff ends up in Studio, which is bad in a way because it only holds 100 people and that fills up quick,” Kelly DeVine, Lowell senior, said. “Then in Mainstage, which holds 300 to 400, we'll have half-audiences. | know it's better to do educational shows, but the other side of me says it would be nice to do fun stuff.” Productions in Studio ranged from the popular musical ‘Pip- pin” to “Bent,” a contemporary American play more controver- sial than most.

Some people say ‘Shakespeare, yuck!’ But then they see it and they say ‘That’s not so hard to understand.” Many other factors aside from time period and genre were a part of the selection process. “Most theatre departments have many women, and most roles are for men,” LaCasse said. “You have to try to get as good a balance as possible and try to get good roles for the females in the department.” Production requirements, such as adequate rehearsal Life in small town America is in- terupted by a drifter, Kelly Devine, and John Williams, Myla Tucker and Lynn Johnson portray the fami- time, were also taken into ac- count. Rehearsing a musical or a Shakespearean work in two weeks would not be feasible, LaCasse said. Other factors in- cluded technical and design considerations. “For example, you have to be careful about putting back-to-- back heavy costume and heavy building shows,” LaCasse said. And then there was the aud- ience to worry about. “I don't think audiences are very forgiv- ing,” Weber said. “If they don't like it, they don’t come back.” Despite that concern, the department had to perform lesser-known, educational plays for the benefit of its students, if not the audience. “Most educational theatre won't do cheap, easy stuff like “Oklahoma” like high schools do,” DeVine said. “It has to be something more difficult.” It was a fine line between the educational work and the play that would draw an audience, and it was a crucial one at the box office. “We have to be concerned with income,” LaCasse said. “We have to fund the program totally out of the box office, which in my mind is in- tolerable. It’s like asking the physics department to fund its own labs. So we have to pay at- continued ly that meets him. “Picnic” told the story of how in one day, the lives of ordinary pe ople can be changed. eJohn Huff a | eJonn Huffer Roland Williams, Michele Adams, Nancy Crouse, Ann Roccaforte, Todd Sandman, Micah Thomas and Kriss Griffiths perform in the classic play, “The Importance of Being Earnest.” The plot had two men donning disguises in order to woo. their sweethearts. “In the Nick of Time” is a full-length original one act play written by senior Jody Price. The play combined elements of Captain America and “Raiders of the Lost Ark” to result in a futuristic comedy. eJohn Huffer Theatree®5 66 Theatre ride in themselves: success adds to continued tention to what will draw au- diences.” Once a play has been selected, the next step, even before auditions, would be a meeting between the set designer and the director, DeVine said. “You talk about concepts,” DeVine said. “The director shouldn’t say ‘I want blue and green and | want two stairs here and a staircase there.’ Then you come up with thumbnail sketches on a napkin or a piece of typing paper.” If time constraints allow, the designer may draw a ground model, similar to an architec- tural layout, which shows the hard edge, the practical side of the set. The rendering, perhaps done in water color, illustrates for the director the artistic side of the set, the emotion and the mood. “Sometimes in a bind you skip those,” DeVine said. “The scale model, a 3-D model of the set, is being done more and more. The director can take it home and move parts of it around to see how he likes it.” Upon approval, the designer takes the working drawings, the descriptions of how the sets are to be built, to the scenery shop. Already many hours have been put into the production, the hours of work the audiences never see. Then it’s the auditions. Quick as a wink they're over. Then it's the waiting game. “You get rejected for a lot more shows than you get parts,” Johnson said. “It’s hard work.” Over and over the students compete for parts, and yet a feeling of family pervades the department. “People talk about com- petitiveness, but at Ball State | don’t see too much of it,” Jody Price, Anderson senior, said. “When one person gets a part and the other doesn't, that per- son says congratulations and the other says thank you.” Then come rehearsals, night after night, and the group becomes a cast. “T’m sure a lot of departments are close, but we are closer than most,” Johnson said. “A lot of it is in the fact that we work together all day. After class, before rehearsal, we go out and get a bite to eat. We have our lobbby where we hang out. Or we go sit and study at Jerry’s (restaurant). It just seems we spend all our time with theatre people.” Then it’s the night, opening night.

Learning didn’t end with opening night, however. “It’s never really finished,” Johnson said. “Every night you find something new.” For Johnson the educational process continued even after a production was finished. “Six Characters in Search of an Author” was entered in the American College Theatre Festival as an associate produc- tion. If selected, it meant the cast would present a 20-minute scene at the main conference at Ohio State. It was selected, and for the first time in Johnson’s four years at Ball State, a depart- ment show made it to the con- ference.

For the second year in a row, one of his original works (“Bandersnatch,” this year) was chosen as the best original one- act and was presented during the Original One Acts during Spring Quarter. Earlier in the year ‘In the Nick of Time,” another of his original plays, was performed in Studio. “Tt was really significant for me because | wrote and directed it,” he said. “I’ve been writing since grade school and the department has been suffi- ciently small that if my script wasn't good | still have a good chance. It’s also given me a chance to improve.” “In the Nick of Time,” along with “Kennedy’s Children” and the one act plays, was classified as a workshop production because the emphasis is not on costumes and scenery but on acting and directing. “The importance is in the actor-director relationship,” LaCasse said. ‘It gives you the chance to try some things and continued becomes pregnant without apparent explanation.

One bright blue line, swashed across McKinley Avenue, served as both the starting and finishing points. But the true test lay in the distance between, in the unyielding concrete. And the true result lay not at the finish line, but at the beginning of an education. On Sunday, April 13, nearly 400 cyclists gathered for the first Hillcroft Criterium. The event, sponsored by Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority and Sigma Tau Gamma fraternity, raised an estimated $2,200 for the Hillcroft Center. The Muncie center serves mentally impaired children and prepares them for the demands of a normal school environment. The race, which was sanctioned by Hillcroft the United States Cycling Federation, kicked off the 1986 Indiana cycling season, and gave the riders a chance to check out the competition. Young and old alike, from Califor- nia to New York, from Pennsylvania to Mexico, packed up their pedaling gear and converged on Muncie. According to race chairman Barbara Harman, 150 racers pre-registered, and although she knew there would be more competitors on race day, she never expected that number to more than double itself, as it did. “It tumed out really good,” she said. “I never expected it to be that big.” Harman explained that the race was divided into 11 categories, with several divisions for juniors, one novice race for men and another for women, hog (a division for riders of a one-speed, large-tired bike), senior IV, women, veterans, and senior II and Ill.

As riders negotiated the 90-degree angle, those on the outside were often forced too close to the impending curb. Some jumped it, rode down the wheelchair access on the other side of the median, and rejoined the race, quickly regaining the 45-mph speed which was typical on the straightaways. The less fortunate crashed, usually taking several other riders with them. Yet in Sunday’s event, which ex- hibited the more daring side of the sport, no major injuries were reported. Connie Edwards, Indianapolis, said she has been riding for eight years and racing for three. In discussing the race, Edwards, Diane Kennedy Spinning spokes who placed fourth in the women’s division, said, “Today | felt real good. I didn’t just have my tongue hanging down to my toes. It was fun today.” Yet another competitor, Mark Her- man, a Hinsdale, Ill., native who at- tends Indiana University, said the rac- ing is not as easy as it looks. “T gotta get in shape,” he said. Then he turned and yelled encouragement to his teammates. Paul Jaqua, a high school senior from Detroit, Michigan, wrecked in the senior IV race. Trying to describe the feelings he has while racing, Jaqua said, “You never get a chance to stop pedaling. It’s always work.” But, then, why do they do it? “For the glory, | suppose, when you get it,” he said with a sheepish grin. So for Edwards, who placed, the day was good. For Jaqua, it meant a banged-up bike and a cut-up elbow to repair. As for the children at the Hillcroft Center? They were all winners. @ Even the metal bike frames look tired and dirt spattered.

The little kin had to find their shoe in the pile, put it on and race back to the start for this part of the Goofy Olympics. eby Angie Fullenkampe Either the campus had become the set for a remake of the Wizard of Oz or it was the Residence Hall Associa- tion’s Little Kin Weekend. In halls across campus, little kin turned heads and took over the lives of their big kin. For the second year RHA organized the all-campus event around Goofy Olympics. In the past, individual halls held their own little kin weekends and RHA sponsored Goofy Olympics as a regular event for hall teams. The all-campus planning gave students more activities to keep the little kin busy and keep them sane. “You can see the big kin getting tired,” Nick Nicklaus, assistant direc- tor of housing and personnel program- ming, said. “Those little kids really keep you running.” Friday night, however, the planning was left up to the individual halls, and the majority had activities organized. In Johnson Complex, Schmidt Hall ordered pizza and had ice cream and games in the lounge. The LaFollette Steering Delegation showed the movie “Meatballs” in the Commons, and Clevenger Hall was the site of the Rock’n’Roll Hoedown Dance. Across campus in Noyer Complex, the weather held out for Klipple Hall to have a cookout replete with hot dogs, chips and beans. Later the kids were entertained with a scavenger hunt and treated to ice cream sun- daes. Davidson Hall little kin and big kin alike enjoyed skating at Skateaway. Saturday lunch in dining service was a meal included in the package deal sold as Little Kin Cards by the RHA representatives. For $9, big kin could purchase the cards worth Satur- day and Sunday lunches, the cookout meal, the Great Kin Roundup buttons and tickets for five booths at the car- nival. After the meal, it was as if the Pied Piper was playing in the middle of LaFollette Field; little kin came from everywhere. Goofy Olympics was about to begin. What followed was organized chaos. Three hundred people ranging from four to 21 years of age exerted the playful energy of a cast of thousands. Split into divisions according to age, the youngest little kin hopped in gar- bage bags pulled up to their chins and at the finish line jumped into the waiting arms of their big kin. Excited screams, laughter and the clicking of cameras erupted during each heat of the shoe race. Little kin each gave up one shoe to form a pile of pink, white and blue shoes, velcro- ed shoes, hightop tennis shoes and saddleshoes. After a mad dash down the field, the kids dove into the melee for their shoes, fastened them and then ran back to the start. On the sidelines, the little kin waited for their turns and the big kin couldn't keep the smiles off their faces; it looked as if the spectators were having as much fun as the little ones. “It’s fun just to watch,” Lynn Williams, Indianapolis freshman and chairman of the weekend, said. “I’m not doing anything and I'm really en- joying it.” Although some of them may have wanted to get away when they saw what was in store for them, the big kin didn’t get to stay on the sidelines.

The big kin laughed and raised their hands in protest as the misdirected globs of paste fell on their cheeks, chins and foreheads. The daubs of green goo looked like nuclear age war paint. The little Indians scampered away unscathed to watch the Egg Toss. Vicki Kennedy, Indianapolis junior, and her sibling Stephanie Lee had a successful lob of over 40 feet to win the event. As the games ended, an announce- ment was made reminding everyone of the cookout. However, some little persons had other plans. “Tonight we're going to order pizza and have a party and I’m going to get to stay up until midnight,” Ryan Rathmann, 8, said. The cloudy weather that threatened rain throughout the day held off as 200 big and little kin took advantage of picnic fare. As the free van shuttle dropped off its loads, and more people arrived in cars and on foot, the food line swelled and the picnickers in the shelter behind West Quad overflowed onto the grass and the surrounding curbs. The children and their big kin alike played on the bars near the shelter while they waited in line. Nicklaus handed out the Great Kin Roundup buttons to everyone. “| think it’s fun to watch the big kin--this kind of thing brings out the little kid in everyone,” he said. If attendance at the carnival was any indication, many big kin were feeling young at heart. At 8 p.m. the line to enter the Demotte-Tichenor lounge was out the door, and the lounge itself was packed to capacity. The aroma of cotton candy hung heavy in the air, and helium balloons bounced along behind the revelers as they moved from the fishpond to the lollipop game and the ring toss.

Magician Chris Henderson, Noblesville freshman, performed his act for the children who sat crosslegg- ed at full attention before him. Again and again they tried to second-guess him and were awed into cries of disbelief by his magical powers. Even the big kin were amazed. Liz Berry, Indianapolis sophomore, followed closely as Henderson made her dollar disappear into a handtowel and reap- pear as a lemon. “| don’t know how he did it,” she said, “and | was watching.” The lounge emptied slowly, and in- creasingly more big kin were found sitting down while keeping an eye on their charges. They may have been tired, but they were happy. “When | was five | came up for a little kin weekend with my sister,” Janis Wolfe, Indianapolis freshman, said. ‘So | wanted to do it for my lit- tle sister.

SO miss Black BSU Dee Varma Unforgettable Stepping out of a dream into the future eby Diane Kennedys April 27 was a warm, sunny day. Many students lounged the afternoon away, basking in the rays and dream- ing of summer days to come. But one group of students spent the afternoon competing to make their dreams come true: they were com- peting for the title of Miss Black Ball State 1986. As 2 p.m. approached, workers in the Student Center Ballroom scurried to finish final preparations, and in- strumentalists warmed up to perform. Backstage, last-minute details were attended to, and a last touch of blusher was applied with a nervous stroke. Out front, families and friends gathered to encourage and cheer on the eight contestants. The audience sang the black national anthem and joined in a prayer led by David Coatie, the newly elected Black Stu- dent Association president. Then it was time to meet the con- testants. As the spotlight came up to full force and the curtain opened, “Gor- don Knightscraft” belted out a tune resembling the 1940s Big Band era. A life-size band silhouette served as a backdrop to the “Cotton Club” setting, and the contestants, along with 1985 queen, Dolores Kay Williams, brought the stage to life with their version of the cancan and other dances from that era. Long strands of beads swung freely, clicking together as smiles radiated from the faces of the dancers. Jumping forward to the ‘80s, the band, along with a dance troupe known as the “Knightscraft Sensa- tions,” rocked the ballroom with Aretha Franklin’s “Freeway of Love.” Then the contestants appeared one at a time, decked out in their favorite sportswear. During this segment of the program, they were judged on ap- pearance, neatness, poise and in- dividuality. Following the performances of “Rainbow” and “Charades,” two original compositions by Andrea Mumford of Indianapolis, the girls reappeared for the second segment of the program, the talent competition. An original dramatic interpretation by Jacqueline Thompson, of Gary, en- titled “Black-eyed Peas and Popcorn,” delighted members of the audience. The dialogue portrayed the life of a young black girl growing up in a predominantly white school. The dialogue showed the girl faking sickness to stay home so she wouldn't have to face the white kids who call- ed her a “dirty nigger.” She lamented over having no one to share her gum with while waiting for the bus. Then she pointed out her individuality, and said, “I like bein’ me. Most of the time | stand out like a black-eyed pea in a bowl full of white popcorn.” Another favorite during the talent segment was Tracye Vann, another Gary native, who sang “Sister,” from “The Color Purple.” Strutting across the stage in a dark blue flapper dress, she asked, “Sister, how many times | got to tell you stay away from that man?” Upon completion of the talent por- tion, Williams performed “I’m Chang- ing,” singing, “] have made up my mind. Nothing's going to stop me now.” Next came the eveningwear seg- ment. Satin and sequins shimmered in the spotlight as taffeta swished and the women paraded in their gowns, escorted by members of the United States Marine Corps. In the final portion of the judging, contestants were asked to respond to impromptu questions, ranging from their opinions on current world events to how they felt they could best serve their communities after completing college. After a short intermission, Williams took her final walk as the 1985 queen, and the master of ceremonies read a letter Williams had written. In that letter, she wrote, “To this year’s contestants: I’m stepping out of my dream...tonight you step into yours. Tonight, everyone is a winner. Remember to always have a dream, for your dream is the key to your suc- cess.” With a tear in her eye, Williams waved good-bye to the standing crowd. Kenneth Doby, the pageant chair- man, recognized the members of the behind-the-scenes committees who helped make the event a success. Next he turned to the contestants with the judges’ results. Sophomore Deanna Young was voted Miss Congeniality by her fellow competitors. And before she had time to adjust to that honor, she was nam- ed the second runner-up. Junior Tina King was first runner-up. Then Junior Michelle Rouse, a criminal justice major from South Bend, was crowned Miss Black Ball State 1986. Rouse, who won a $700 scholar- ship, a crown and a trophy, said she felt she had been handed a lot of ex- pectations and responsibilities to live up to. She said she plans to talk to campus administrators on issues that affect both black and white students. Rouse said her motto of life is “Don’t pray for an easy life. Pray to be a strong person.” Then, summing up her thoughts, she said, “I feel | have truly stepped into a dream.” @ Dee Varma At home before the crowd, Tina King jazzes up her fashion segment for the jud- ges.

Rocky Rothrock § 2eMr Ms. BSU Hercules unbound eby Diane Kennedys “Are you there?” Phillip Dunn, sponsor of the Ball State Weightlifting Club, asked the audience. A barrage of applause and screams from the 1,300-member crowd answered his question. “We've got a lot of contestants who are going to put on a hell of a show for you this evening,” Dunn con- tinued. It was April 17, and as the lights dimmed the cheering mounted to a dull roar, and 22 bronzed, Herculean bodies appeared on the rising or- chestra pit in Emens Auditorium. One by one the 10 women and 12 men were introduced. Amid catcalls and whistles they strutted their stuff, each hoping to win the coveted title of Mr. or Ms. Ball State. Then the stage was cleared. When the lights came up again, the women were on the stage, posing for the judges. Next, each performed individually. The Commodores’ “Brick House” rocked Emens during one highly choreographed routine, and straining muscles were put to the test as each contestant flexed to the beat of her chosen accompaniment. After the individual performances were completed, all the women returned to the stage to strike man- datory poses, which gave the judges and members of the audience a chance to compare muscle develop- ment. Each pose emphasized a different part of the body. The “abdominal” and “rear double bicep” were crowd favorites, as was the “most muscular,” which allowed each con- testant to choose a pose she felt would show her best overall muscle development. Through it all, even when their bodies shook from muscle fatigue, the smiles on the women’s faces remained intact. Then the judges rearranged the line for more comparison and ran the women through additional poses before clearing the stage. During the 10-minute intermission, the contestants anxiously awaited the judges’ decision. Backstage the smell of coconut oil (used to “shine” the flesh) permeated the air, and the men warmed up for their part of the com- petition. Then the women were called to return to the stage. Each was presented a red rose. In the closest judging in the history of the women’s contest, Kathy Hudson, of Marion, was named Ms. Ball State 1986. Just after winning the title, Hudson said she was shocked to be the female winner. Describing the thoughts she had just before the contest, she said, “Before | went | was concentrating, meditating, going through the man- datory poses.” Then, describing her thoughts dur- ing the competition, she said, “My heart was saying ‘You worked for it. Have fun.” Meanwhile, the men were on parade, much to the delight of the female portion of the audience. Men’s competition was divided into two classes, short and tall. The men performed first individual- ly and then through the mandatory posing, just as the women had. “Relax, Don’t Do It” from “Frankie Goes to Hollywood” spilled from the loudspeakers. And where the women had smiled, the men contorted their faces with expressions of intense con- centration, apparently adding to their flex appeal as screams from the au- dience rose toward the ceiling. Backstage, during a break from the action, Tim Walker, Brookeville, Ohio, a competitor in the short class, mentioned how hungry he was. He said that on the day of a contest most competitors eat very little because they want their waistlines to look as small as possible. He also said that most bodybuilders train six days a week, once or twice a day. Then Walker and the others were called back to the stage. Dave Mitzelfelt won the short class, and senior Brad Potts won both the tall class and the Mr. Ball State title. Potts, an Indianapolis native who had trained for the competition for two years, said, “] won't know if it’s been worth it or not until tomorrow, but | think so. I’m more excited about winning this contest than | am about graduating.” But a surprise was still in store. On April 21, the Daily News reported that Hudson’s title would be revoked. According to Tony Hoover, a Mishawaka native and a member of the competition committee, Hudson was ineligible to compete because she was not enrolled for Spring Quarter classes. Hudson admitted she knew she was in the wrong before the competition started. Second-place finisher Karen Rockwood, of Zionsville, said April 20 that no one had bothered to inform her of the situation. Rockwood was informed April 22 that she was the new champion. Backstage in Emens, under a metal girder next to a brick wall, one withered rose lay alone, its stem broken, its ribbon tattered.

On May 10 it was everywhere: in the press of the chamois as it polished the bike to a high shine, in the crush of the crowd watching the teams, and in the em- brace of teammates before the race. In the minds of the bikers, the pressure was as heavy as the heat from the sun bearing down relentless- ly throughout the afternoon of Bike-A- Thon Day. “The pressure | feel is only from myself,” Destiny biker Steve Koufos said a few hours before the race, “because Destiny has won this five years. Since this is my first year, | have to ride well today.” For Destiny, riding toward its sixth consecutive win, much was at stake. Other teams were gunning for them, - and they had a tradition to uphold. But they were not alone. “Having the pole position puts a lot of pressure on us,” Delta Tau Delta rider Jay Bumbalough said. Delta Tau Delta No. 1 had wrestled the pole position from Destiny by seven seconds in the qualifying heats. But, Bumbalough said, “It’s not any indication of who’s going to win the race.” Hurst Fleet, whose 15-second penal- ty in qualifications had dropped them from 13th to 28th in the line-up, had to hope that was true. “We definitely feel pressure to pro- ve that we deserve to be in the upper slot,” Joel Hedge said. “With a crowd size like that, everyone is watching and wondering if you can perform.” But for some, a certain amount of watching from above relieved the strain of competition. “| don’t feel as much under pressure because we're riding for God, and He wants us to do our best,” Palmer-One Accord team member Chris Beiswenger said. “It doesn’t matter what the crowd thinks, we've just got to give 100 percent to Him.” At Delaware County Fairgrounds, the teams arrived in trucks and vans with coolers, jamboxes, gloves, um- brellas and helmets. On their sta- tionary bikes they began warming up their muscles, and their camps were like clumps of wildflowers along a country road, the bright pinks, purples, royal blues, mint greens and lemon yellows of their jerseys radiant against the steel gray dust of the track. One team was not warming up, but walking casually among the other teams. Composed of three Delta Chi fraternity members and two Alpha Chi Omega sorority members, it was the first co-ed team ever to participate in Bike-A-Thon. “We're scared, nervous and wonder- ing what in the world we're doing here,” Susan Kiel said. “T had the idea of an all-girls team but that didn’t work out,” Megan Gar- rett said. “We linked up with these guys over a couple beers at Bash Riprock’s.” Starting from the 31st position, the team did not feel compelled to com- pete seriously. “There are two types of teams here today,” Scott Cain said, “the kind that are serious competitors and the kind that just want to participate.” Whatever their reasons, all 33 teams had a rider up in the 11 rows of three lined up neatly behind a daisy yellow 1986 Corvette, the of- ficial pace car for the 70th Indy 500 : and Lambda Chi Alpha’s 36th Bike-A- Thon. After a lap behind the the Bike- A-Thon queen, Deanna Day, and after a pace lap, the race was underway. Delta Tau Delta sprinted to an early lead and rider Dave Albert captured the $50 prize for the first bell lap. Two laps later he was tangled in a knot of bodies and bicycles in a crash on the fourth turn. Pulling his disabl- ed bike with him, Albert sprinted on foot the 50 yards to his pit. “] got on the bike and caught up with the pack,” Bumbalough said. “But we couldn't get the chain back on the other bike becuase the crank was busted.” The team had one bike for the re- mainder of the race. The leaders changed with almost every lap, and the roar of the factions crammed in the lower bleachers of the grandstand rolled out in waves as their favorites zipped by. The au- dience kept cool underneath the shelter of the stand, and concoctions derived from several sources soothed throats parched from cheering. On the track, the sun blazed and the dust hung in the air long after the riders had passed by, as on a country road in late summer. “The heat affected me most,” Beiswenger said. “We had to suck in a lot of water and put water on our heads and down our shirts to keep cool.” In the pit, the catchers held Totes umbrellas over the riders on the sta- tionary bikes, and the other team members took advantage of the shade of beach umbrellas. The riders on the track had no protection except their helmets and sunglasses. “The one factor that really did affect me was that we couldn't carry water with us during the race,” Lickety-Split rider Tom Blatchley said. “That's kind of a ridiculous rule because you don’t have any way to cool yourself down.” For Blatchley, who rode over 30 consecutive laps for his team, it meant a long stretch without a drink. At the 60th lap, the riders in the backfield dotted the half-mile oval, and except for the cluster of top teams, it was hard to tell any team’s position. Delta Tau Delta No. 1, Sigma Tau Gamma No. 1, Palmer- One Accord and Sigma Pi Hog Master continued Even Totes umbrellas fail to bring relief to some riders, who relax after a lap around the track. Sigma Tau Gam- ma’s team No. 1 finished second behind Destiny. At the start of the race the track was a mass of confusion. With so many competitors it was dif- ficult to keep track of the laps and at the end of the race Destiny ran an extra lap in order to avoid los- ing when their count did not match the judges. Destiny’s riders congratulate themselves at the finish line. Suc- cess still felt sweet as the team took their sixth consecutive win at Bike- A-Thon.

But the strain of the pace began to take its toll. “During the race | felt more com- fortable this year because we kept in the top five most of the time,” Beiswenger said. “But toward the end I felt helpless because we dropped off the pack. We’d go out on sprint laps but it wouldn’t help.” Delta Tau Delta No. 1, crippled by the loss of a bike, also began to fall back. “We were in until the 65th lap and nobody could believe it,” Bum- balough said. “But then everybody started making faster exchanges and it became a sprint race. We couldn't keep up because we were losing 5 to 8 seconds on every pit exchange.” The lap counters read 79, and the white flag was waved to mark the start of the last lap. Anyone not already standing rose to witness the moment of Bike-A-Thon history. But there was confusion on the track. “We weren't certain if our lap counters or the Lambda Chis made an error, SO we went one more lap to be sure,” Koufos said. “Eric (Wendorf) was coming around and he would have finished the race. “If we had known, he never would have come in,” Koufos added. “As it was, | only had to ride 40 yards in- stead of a lap to actually win.” As Koufos crossed the line to claim an unprecedented sixth consecutive win for Destiny, he kissed his hands and raised them over his head. “It’s got to be the best feeling you could experience, especially when your teammates worked so hard,” Koufos said. Behind him finished Sigma Tau Gamma No. 1, Lickety-Split and Sigma Alpha Epsilon No.1, but the final results were far from clear. “Destiny’s counters had up 79, and he went around one more time,” Blat- chley said. “I had slowed because | thought we were done and that’s when Sigma Tau Gamma passed me. They reversed the ruling and counted our position at the 80th lap.” For Delta Tau Delta No. 1, com- pleting the race in seventh position, the results were bittersweet. For the third year in a row, the fraternity won the Magnabosco Trophy, given to the organization according to the number of teams entered and their finishing positions. The Delts placed seventh, 10th and 29th. “I'm glad we got the trophy, but it was really a letdown for the first team,” Bumbalough said. “It still hurts to think you train hard and have that happen. We had the worst possible luck. It was a schleprock day.” Palmer-One Accord finished behind the Delts in eighth. “| think initially we were disap- pointed, but I’m not now because | believe God had it all planned,” Beiswenger said. “The important thing was that we had some guys from other teams come and pray with us before the race. | thought that was great.” Hurst Fleet, which had started in 28th position, did not make good on its hopes to move up in the field and prove that it deserved an upper berth by completing the race in 23rd place. Bringing up the rear of the field in the 33rd position was the co-ed team. But then they had never considered themselves serious competitors. As their rider pedaled slowly toward his pit on the backstretch, friends, fans and photographers converged on Destiny’s pit. “People are congratulating me and stuff, but it hasn’t set in yet,” Koufos said. “To be honest, | feel like nothing has happened. It went by so fast | wish I could have seen it. It was like a dream to me, a dream come true.” The bikes, so polished before the race, were coated with dust as they were returned to the pits and the riders moved to the trophy table. Now Destiny's silver and biack jerseys were shiny with sweat, and they wore like a second skin. The team members embraced and pressed hands with other riders offering congratulations. The stress of the race had ended, and in its place rested a different kind of pressure, the weight of success. @ Andrew Johnston mp i Down the straightaway, Delta Tau Delta leads another lap.

Bike-A-Thones The arts Terrace is the site for the first half of the split gradu- ation. New banners, designed by William Zack, an instructor of art, decorated the ter- race. 88 -craduation Split ceremony goes into effect With banners ablaze and the air hot with the strains of “Pomp and Cir- cumstance,” the new decentralized graduation ceremony took place May 24 on the Arts Terrace as students, families and friends looked on. This year the graduation ceremony was centralized in the Quad only for key speakers. Afterward, diplomas were awarded in six separate ceremonies. The College of Business met in Emens Auditorium, the Col- lege of Fine Arts met in University Hall, Teachers College met in Ball Gym, the College of Applied Sciences and Technology met in the Field Sports Building, and the College of Architecture and Planning met at McKinley Avenue and Petty Road. The College of Sciences and Humanities, the largest of the six, re- mained in the Quad. While administrators feared a stu- dent protest prompted by Daily News editorials, only a few students held up signs saying “Bring Our Diplomas To Us.” For the most part the new ceremony went off without problems. As in previous years, the sound speakers blasted those seated beneath them and were inaudible to those on the outskirts of the audience, but few in attendance seemed to mind. This year the university honored Sen. Richard Lugar (R-Ind.) with an honorary degree and he gave the com- mencement address. Lugar said students are participating less in socie- ty while they’re in college and are more concerned with making money. He encouraged students to be more active in world concerns. At the conclusion of his address the crowd began filtering away in search of the best seats for the sub- ceremonies, where they found that some of the best seats had been stak- ed out as early as 9 a.m. At the sub-ceremonies there was similar behavior, and few people, for example, stayed to hear Associate Pro- vost Warren Vander Hill’s address which was last on the program at the Sciences and Humanities ceremony. Vander Hill said he felt “like the kid who plays right field and bats last.” The college ceremonies will be evaluated and possibly revamped in an effort to lessen the confusion that surounded them, Donald Mikesell, associate dean of students, wrote in the Daily News when it was all over. The major problem occurred at the College of Science and Humanities where the large number of graduates continued eJenny Flowers Mr. Potato Head adorns one student’s mortar board in a_ personal statement of individuality at graduation in the Quad.

More signs are also needed so that families, friends and non-graduating students can find their way to the cor- rect sub-ceremonies. In the final analysis, the worry about a student protest was unfound- ed and most students accepted the change. According to members of the committee to evaluate the ceremony, the change improved graduation. The ceremony will be conducted the same way in 1987, then a final choice between the two styles will be made. BUSINESS | Dean Neil Palomba congratulates a student with a diploma holder during the College of Business ceremony in Emens’ Auditorium. The actual diplomas were mailed to students’ homes later. While about half the graduates of the College of Science and Humanitites left after receiving their diploma holders, at other locations the ceremonies went well. The Student Association Vice Presi- dent Mike Green did tell the Daily News however, that the Field Sports Building was a poor atmosphere for a graduation. But, despite whatever comes of discussion over the merits or the faults of the ceremony, presumably most students were glad that at least the long haul for the diploma was over. @ Rocky Rothrock Besides mr. Potato Head, other mortar boards at graduation were adorned with messages. The mean- ing of those messages, however, was sometimes known only to students. Rocky Rothrock Jenny Flowers While mortar boards became billboards for some graduates, soap bubbles provide a creative alternative for another. For most students, graduation represented a final op- portunity to avoid the hunt for full- time employment. AS commencement speaker, Sen. Richard Lugar (R-Ind.) spoke about student apathy and the need for all people to become involved in the democratic process. Lugar said students were more concerned about making money than about world af- fairs. i i —-_ if ‘ eJenny Flowers GraduationeD l INatiOomMall Compiled and written by Irene Lydia Strack 9 2. National George Santayana said it best: “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” In reviewing the passage of time, it is often difficult to remember how many signifi- cant events occur each year. Natural disasters, international terrorism and the threats of war fill the world’s stage. Here then, is a chronology of the most impor- tant news stories from local, national and inter- national files. °Sept. 4, 1985. Jerry Roysden shot out the patio doors to his Scheidler apartment in a domestic dispute with his wife. Roysden forced his wife outside the apartment at gunpoint, where he attempted to rape her.

Monet’s “Impression Soleil Levant,” the painting that gave the name to the impressionist’s movement and which has “no price” because of its historical importance, was among the stolen works. Nov. 14, 1985. Twenty thousand Colombians perished in the aftermath of a volcanic eruption in the Andes. Rushing walls of mud, lava and river waters buried several small towns permanently, and left many others uninhabitable. Dec. 12, 1985. A Dc-8, Arrow Air charter, with 258 U.S. soldiers aboard crashed and exploded shortly after take-off from Gander International Airport. The plane was in the last leg of its flight, having stopped to refuel in Canada. The soldiers were members of the 101]st Airborne Divi- sion of Fort Campbell, Ky., returning from a six-month rotation of peace-keeping duties in the Sinai. There were no SUIVIVOIS. ¢Jan. 13, 1986. Delaware County police ended a two-hour armed stand-off on University Avenue, and ar- rested Muncie resident Christopher Hiatt. The incident began as a domestic argument between Hiatt and his girlfriend, Lori McKibben, police said. ¢ Jan. 28, 1986. The Space Shuttle Challenger ex- ploded 63 seconds after take-off, killing the entire flight crew. The first member of NASA’s teacher in space pro- gram, Christa McAuliffe, a New Hampshire high school teacher, became the first civilian fatality in the space pro- gram’s history. Commander Francis Scobee, pilot Michael Smith, and the crew of Judith Resnick, Ronald McNair, Ellison Onizuka and Gregory Jarvis lost their lives. O-ring failure brought on by repeated missions and the cold weather is believed to be responsible for the tragedy. Feb. 17, 1986. Mischon Stigleman resigned as Miss Ball State when she learned that her summer employer, Cedar Point Amusement Park, would not give her time off to compete in the Miss Indiana pageant. First runner-up, Joan Merricks, became the new Miss Ball State and was scheduled to represent the university in the Miss Indiana contest the week of June 23. Feb. 21, 1986. Gas fell to its lowest price since 1978. Undercutting by the members of Oil Producing and Exporting Companies (OPEC) brought the price of regular gas to as low as 65.8 cents a gallon. °Feb. 26, 1986. Ferdinand Marcos, former presi- dent of the Phillipines, fled that country aboard a US. Air Force jet. Marcos had declared a state of emergency follow- ing the country’s trouble-filled elections and initiated mar- tial law, but soldiers sympathetic to his challenger, Cor- azon Aquino, ousted Marcos’ military supporters. March 8, 1986. The men’s basketball team defeated Miami of Ohio to win the Mid-American Con- ference. The win was only the second time the university had advanced to the NCAA tournament.

April 21, 1986. Burris student council presi- dent, Richard Powell, 18, committed suicide by shooting himself in the chest. The death shocked the school who viewed Powell as a popular student leader, actor, magician and athletic manager. Powell had received a talent scholarship to study theatre at Ball State for the fall of 1986. Powell’s talents had led to predictions that he would become the theatrical equivalent of Ball State’s telecommunications graduate, David Letter- man. April 25, 1986. The Soviet Union reported that human error at its nuclear power plant in Chernobyl caus- ed an explosion and fire that burned out of control for days and resulted in the evacuation of 80,000 residents from nearby cities. At the beginning of June, 25 people were dead, 80 others were seriously ill from radiation poisoning, and thousands more were at an increased risk for cancer.

I) NationaleD 3 Q4 eNational INAtIOMA huttle explodes On Saturday, Jan. 25, 1986, National Aeronautics and Space Administration officials postponed the launch of the space shuttle Challenger because of bad weather. On Sunday and Monday, poor weather conditions continued and the shuttle remained on the ground. On Tuesday, Jan. 28, Challenger exploded just 73 seconds after an apparently flawless liftoff, sending all seven crew members to their deaths. The explosion, which marked the first in-air disaster in NASA’s history, stunned a nation accustomed to suc- cessful space exploration for over 25 years. Debris fell into the Atlantic Ocean and one of the shut- tle’s booster rockets was seen floating to earth on its parachute. Spectators, including the parents of Christa McAuliffe, who was to have been the first teacher in space, watched in horror from the frosty fields at Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida. The temperature had dipped below freezing the night before. Film footage seemed to show an initial explosion in one of the two peel-away rocket boosters. NASA officials refused to speculate on the specific cause of the explo- sion based on that footage, but they organized a board to review and assess what went wrong. During the investigation, public shock turned to outrage as the media revealed the board’s findings. According to Associated Press reports, the seals on the seams of the booster rockets were probably affected by unseasonably cold weather. Temperatures reached the high 40s the day of the launch. However, no previous launches had been made The fatal flight of Challenger from liftoff to disaster 2. One minute and 15 seconds after lift-off Challenger explodes about 10 miles above the Atlantic Ocean. It was heading due east and was accelerating to orbit at a speed of 1,977 miles per hour. 1. Space shuttle Challenger lifts off from Cape Canaveral with six astronauts and school teacher Christa McAuliffe. The launch had been delayed earlier because of weather related problems. 4. The disintegrating shuttle fell over a wide area in the ocean. Burning debris fell for nearly 45 minutes prohib- iting rescue teams from entering promptly. One solid fuel booster was seen floating down on its parachute. with temperatures under 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Investigators believe failure of the right solid rocket booster caused the January explosion. According to Tommy Holloway, chief of the flight director's office at Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, the survival of the astronauts during launch depends on the proper functioning of the boosters. If those rockets fail, he told the Associated Press, “You don’t have a snowball’s chance in hell.” In June the president’s commission issued their report on the cause of the crash. The commission believed that all of the evidence indicated that the failure of a single O-ring seal prompted by repeated use and the cold weather caused the crash. As investigators revealed their answers, the astronauts families continued to mourn the tragic deaths of seven heros: Michael Smith, Dick Scobee, Judith Resnik, Ronald McNair, Ellison Onizuka, Gregory Jarvis and Christa McAuliffe. While the future of shuttle launches may be uncertain, President Ronald Reagan said after the crash, “The future doesn’t belong to the fainthearted. It belongs to the brave. The Challenger crew was pulling us into the future and we'll continue to follow them. “The crew of the space shuttle Challenger honored us with the manner in which they lived their lives. “We will never forget them or the last time we saw them, this morning, as they prepared for their journey and waved goodbye ‘and slipped the surly bonds of Earth to touch the face of God.”” eby Diane Kennedy 3.

Tallahassee Cape Canaverat detailed Guifof Mexico FLORIDA Reprinted with the permission of the Miami Herald Controversial election Marcos flees country It took place thousands of miles away from the United States, but its effects were felt from coast to coast. Ferdinand Marcos, president of the Philippines for the past 20 years, fled the country Feb. 26 after a hastily arranged in- auguration, when it became clear his popular support in the country had evaporated. Opposition leader Corazon Aquino, leader of the democratic opposition and wife of slain presidential candidate Benigno Aquino, took over the presidency after violent elec- tions filled with charges of fraud. The Reagan administration was unable to ignore instances of fraud and violence as votes were taken and counted. Reagan initially said fraud oc- curred on both sides, but U.S. election observers held that Aquino’s supporters made no fraudulent moves. Marcos’ New Society Move- ment party showed him in the lead at the polls throughout the entire election. However, the citizen’s poll-watching group, known as Namfrel, insisted Marcos had violated election codes. Namfrel declared Aquino the winner in its election count. Violence flared during the elections and 100 deaths were estimated as a result. When the elections were over, Marcos continued to insist he had won. He declared a state of emergency and remained in control of the presidential palace until he realized his life was in danger. At President Reagan’s invita- tion, Marcos and his family, along with $1.4 million in pesos, headed for Hawaii to begin exile. Meanwhile, the inauguration of “Cory” Aquino was under- way. According to Time, Aquino was “technically head of a provisional government,” even though she had been declared president. Because Aquino was sworn in before Marcos left Malacanang, “the scheme left Aquino presiding over a government that is legally out- side the constitution,” Time reported. With a strong hold on the presidency and with Marcos in exile, Aquino had her work cut out for her. She inherited a country in poor economic shape with an annual gross na- tional product of negative 3.5 percent and a national debt in excess of $27 billion. Aquino’s goals were to create employment opportunities by ending Marcos’ coconut and sugar monopolies, to abolish levies on seed and fertilizer and to lower certain taxes. The new president had other goals as well. She released several Filipinos imprisoned by Marcos under the Preventive Detention Act. As the Philippines worked to rebuild the government and economy, Marcos struggled to rebuild his life in Hawaii. At the same time, Aquino attemp- ted to have returned the enor- mous loot Marcos established while president of the Philip- pines. Marcos owned $350 million in property in parts of New York and New Jersey, including a multi-million-dollar estate in mid-town Manhattan. Aquino hoped to earn the return of billions in lost property and cash by showing in U.S. courts how Marcos gained his wealth illegally. @ eby Janie Tuttle ‘Unsinkable’ Titanic found On Sept. 1, 1985, a blind camera sled being towed across the floor of North Atlantic waters focused on an un- familiar sight. After 73 years, the remains of the Titanic had been found. Heralded as an unsinkable ship, the Titanic went under on its maiden voyage from Southampton, England, to New York. The largest ship of her day, the 882-foot vessel struck an iceberg off the coast of New- foundland and 1,522 people perished. Ironically, the ship’s attempt to divert itself from the path of the iceberg resulted in the star- board gash that destroyed the ship. Naval historians believe if the Titanic had hit the iceberg head-on, it would have flooded two or three compartments and remained afloat. Instead, in less than three hours, the oceanliner was com- pletely submerged almost three miles below the surface in 28- degree water. While the joint efforts of U.S. and French scientists yielded the grave of maritime’s most famous civilian accident, the adventure has just begun. Salvagers seek to raise the Titanic and plunder it of its cargo and its history. Because the ship lies in inter- national waters, it cannot be declared a national monument, but it can be declared a sanc- tuary. Childhood survivers of the wreck, disturbed by entre- preneurs’ attempts to cash in on the historic value of their parents’ lives, support this ef- fort. Interviewed by National Geographic, Eva Hart, who had been a 7-year-old passenger aboard the Titanic, said “I saw that ship sink. I saw all the horror of its sinking. And | heard, even more dreadful, the cries of drowning people.” Whatever the outcome of at- tempts to raise the Titanic, this memory will remain. by Irene Lydia Strack N ationaleD5 OCa Police examine the vehicle Kimberly Dowell and Ethan Dix- on were parked in at the time of their fatal shooting.

The murders of Northside High School students Kimberly Dowell, 15, and Ethan Dixon, 16, shocked the city. Dixon and Dowell were found shot to death around midnight on Sept. 28, 1985, in Dixon’s Volkswagon. The couple had parked at the West Side Park near the White River, a known hangout for Northside students. Both teenagers died of single gunshot wounds fired from close range. The bodies were found in Dixon's car by an off- duty patrolman who was walking his dog. The police investigation provided few leads. The only substantial fact police had to work with was the descrip- tion of a car seen in the vicinity at the time of the murders. A search was undertaken for a 1972-75 black Chevrolet Monte Carlo with a raised back-end and a feathered roach clip hanging from the rearview mirror. This was the last car seen in the park and police believed it might have belonged to the murderer. A composite drawing of a suspect was also developed and distributed throughout the city. The police searched for a white male, about 24 years old, between 5 feet 8 in- wi RK = A q | | hn 9 ‘- Students slain in park ches and 6 feet tall, 155 pounds, with dark brown hair and wire-rimmed glasses. To help the police, Muncie Mayor Jim Carey initiated a reward fund. Carey donated $5,000 to an account at the Muncie Merchant's Bank. The reward was to be paid to anyone who gave information leading to the arrest and conviction of the murderer. Police received numerous tips, both in Muncie and In- dianapolis, on sightings of the car and man. Suspects were taken to police headquarters to be photographed and questioned. A witness who had described the suspect was taken in to view the photographs of the men who had been questioned. The witness helped police eliminate several of the suspects. Police continued to investigate the case but made little progress. No identifiable fingerprints other than Dixon's and Dowell’s were found on or in the car and the prime suspect was not found with the murder weapon. These clues and other leads led to speculation that the police knew who murdered the young couple, but did not have sufficient evidence to formally charge that per- son. @ by Robin Jo Mills al eJeff Mastin Red berets come to town On Oct. 21, 1985, the Guar- dian Angels, a non-violent organization of volunteers that patrols high-crime neighborhoods, announced their intention to form a Mun- cie chapter. The organization has been successful at helping deter crime across the nation since 1979, when Curtis Sliwa started the first chapter in the South Bronx. Although Muncie’s crime pro- blem is not as great as larger cities the Guardian Angels patrol, some city residents ex- pressed concern over crime and supported the formation of a local chapter. Todd Bragg, the local coor- dinator of the Angels, said crea- tion of a Muncie chapter had been considered for about a year. In order to gauge public opi- nion, members of the In- dianapolis chapter visited Mun- cie in October. After mingling with residents, and discovering a mixed but generally sup- portive reaction to the group, members patrolled downtown Muncie along with eight people interested in forming the local chapter. The next step was a one-day, The Communications Workers of America struck AT T June 1. More than 155,000 workers picketed AT T to fight for job security in an industry that is facing increased employee attrition because of automation. As part of a concession package, AT T agreed to pro- informal survey to further register public sentiment. Ac- cording to Bragg, 135 persons were polled downtown, in Ball State’s campus, at the Muncie Mall and at three other loca- tions. Results overwhelmingly favored a Muncie chapter, with 125 respondents answering “yes” to the question, ‘Is there a need for Guardian Angel patrols in Muncie?” By the end of the three-week fact-finding effort, the Angels had enough encouragement to begin. Despite the support for the Angels, as evidenced by such things as a sign posted on a utility pole that said, “Welcome to Muncie, Guardian Angels We Need You,” some opposition to the group remained. Bragg was quoted in the Daily News say- ing that sometimes the public views the Angels as a group of vigilantees looking for a fight, but that in reality, “We learn to use our heads and our mouths first. We've broken up many fights in Indianapolis and never thrown a punch,” he said. In December, recruitment began for the new chapter. Among the applicants were eight Ball State students. An orientation session was then Workers picket for job security grams to retrain employees to keep up with automation and to insure job security. The tentative contract includ- ed medical benefits, wage in- creases and cost of living ad- justments. It also reportedly in- cluded an unprecedented employment security program valued at $40 million. held, during which founder Sliwa announced plans for the Muncie Angels. Sliwa indicated that although training usually takes up to three months, it could take less time in Muncie, because there are fewer situations to train for. Training, he said, would in- clude first aid and physical defense techniques. Other train- ing would include stress management, CPR and a physical training program. As the local chapter patrolled the downtown and southside areas in February as part of training, reaction to the beret-- clad Angels was mixed. Follow- ing the four-hour patrol, Bragg assured the 1] Angels that a majority of the people were supportive, but that opposers of the group were the most vocal. Mark Driver, the coordinator of the Indianapolis group, said he thought the answer lay in talking to the people whenever possible. “The more they know about you the more com- fortable they are with you,” he told the Daily News. “Present yourselves as you are. You go in with the attitude of ‘if you need help we're here to help.”@ eby Cheri Evans AT T had fought to prevent wage increases, but after 26 days with its employees on the picket line, management reach- ed a tentative agreement with the strikers whose vote was scheduled to take place in August. @ Downtown Muncie to geta facelift The Delaware County Coun- cil voted in June to impose a 1 percent tax on all foods and beverages purchased in the county. Revenue from the tax will finance a $3.5 million civic center in downtown Mun- cie. Ball State food services, in- cluding the snack bars and the Student Center will be affected by the new tax. The civic center will be hous- ed in Muncie’s old federal post office building. It is expected that $21 million in revenue will be generated each year by the center, according to a Chicago firm that specializes in marketing studies. Within three years the civic center will be grossing more than $21 milion a year, Delaware County Council Presi- dent Jack Peckinpaugh said. The old Roberts Hotel in downtown Muncie is also in the process of being renovated. The hotel will become part of the Radisson hotel chain and will complement the civic center project, but its overhaul is being privately funded. Since both the old post office and the Roberts Hotel are historic buildings, that fact will encourage private investors in the civic center as well, ac- cording to Edgar Seward, presi- dent of the Delaware County Council Advancement Corp. When it was approved, the tax increase had no cutoff date. @ Locale 7 Teachers put to test Concern over the quality of education prompted the 1984 Indiana Legislature to pass House Bill 1105 which requires all new candidates for teaching diplomas to pass a written ex- amination for teacher certifica- tion. According to Hubert Shroyer, director of undergraduate teacher certification, this is new for Indiana but not for the na- tion. The test entails communica- tion skills, general education, professional education, and knowledge in the student's area of specialization. “You have to be competent to teach kids,” junior elemen- tary education major, Donna Miller, said. The lowest passing scores were set at 653 for communication skills, 647 for general knowledge, and 646 for profes- sional knowledge. The state has issued temporary teacher licenses that are non- renewable for the 1985-86 year to those people who were of- fered jobs in Indiana and would have otherwise qualified. Opinions among students seem to favor the new com- petency test which affects those applying for certification after July 1, 1985. “| think it is a good idea. This weeds out the good from the bad ones. It lets employers know we meet the state qualifications,” junior Michelle Bickel, elementary education major, said. “We should have one,” freshman Julie Dewitt said. “If you can’t pass the competency test, then you're not competent enough to teach.” “It is a good idea for teachers to be tested on their competen- cy,” junior Becky Leazenby, secondary education major, said. However, Leazenby said the test doesn’t measure teaching ability. Ability is gain- ed through teaching experience while knowledge from the classroom prepares you for the experience, she said. Although Indiana follows many other states in requiring students to pass a teacher com- petency test, only time will tell if this is an adequate measure to determine how people should be certified to teach. eby Anne Young Clark is sentenced Ball State junior Todd Clark was convicted of assault June 20 for assaulting junior Douglas Higgins on Sept. 8, 1985 at King’s Corner nightclub, 1901 McGaillard Road.

Nevertheless, ad- ministrators hoped the building would be ready for classes in the fall of 1986. Renovation continues The dingy brick, shattered windows, squeaking floors, saggy ceilings and tattered walls of East Quad demanded a new face, In January 1985, the univer- ‘sity heeded the cry of the dying building and devised a renova- tion plan. A “facelift” for the almost 60-year-old Quad began in the spring of 1985 by a renovation team from Tousely- Bixler Construction Co. With the exception of basic support beams, the interior of East Quad was demolished, revised and rebuilt. The computer laboratory housed in the building was transferred to the Whittinger Business Building and walls were rebuilt to form new offices and classrooms and the underground tunnel was enlarg- ed to house new heating and electrical units. The tunnel was also relocated from the west side to the southwest corner of the building, so that if tunnel work is necessary in the future, the demolition of the sidewalk and road will be minimal. As work progressed on the building, however, the con- struction company unexpected- ly filed for bankruptcy. The university lost time on the pro- ject, but not money, according to Meredith Fry, superintendent of planning and construction. Because Tousely-Bixler was bonded, the firm that bonded them arranged a contract with F.E. Wilhelm Co. to finish the work. While the major part of the renovation is complete and the new contruction company is “shooting for the same schedule,” Fry said, “ this is the part of a job that drags and drags: the pretty stuff, choosing the right vinyl and the right color paint.” On July 1, Fry was optimistic that the company would be able to get the building open by the fall of 1986 as previously planned. The price of East Quad’s facelift was estimated at $4.5 million by Karen Gilliam, assis- tant director of finance. @ by Elleen Kane ye™ he first rumblings of change were heard in May of 1985. But the recommendation of the University Senate’s Undergraduate Educational Policies Council to switch from the quarter to the semester system went largely un- noticed. The change had been threatened twice in the past 18 years but had been defeated each time. By September 1985, however, students and faculty alike started to take notice. UEPC’s motion was approved, and what began as a light flurry of ideas snowballed into a blizzard of in- formation and debate. Early on in the controversy over the change, students feared their opinions were not being heard. That fear was eRocky Rothrock On Jan. 21 President John Worthen announced the change to the semester system, effective in the fall of 1988. Wor- then’s unpopular decision annoyed the majority of students who were against the switch. Quarter system ends one concern voiced during three open forums held to of- fer the campus community the chance to exchange ideas and opinions. Because forum director Joe Rawlings took no action to implement a campus-wide poll, students conducted their own. An informal poll conducted by the Daily News resulted in 653 ballots, with 500 opposed to the switch. Numerous other informal surveys were conducted on the issue, including a Wagoner Complex survey and a poll on the VAX computer system. At Wagoner, 214 of 248 students favored the quarter system, with the re- maining 34 preferring the proposed change. The VAX poll confirmed earlier opinion: 36 out of 46 chose the quarter system, five chose the semester system and five showed no preference. The proposed change conformed to national trends, if not to popular opinion. Since 1970, a total of 103 schools have forsaken the quarter system currently in use at Ball State. Nationally, 58 percent of universities use the early semester system proposed for Ball State. Under the early semester calen- dar, classes begin in late August and have a three or four-week Christmas break between semesters. Both Student Senate and University Senate took a long look at views on both sides before rejecting a motion to switch to semesters. University senators followed suit with a 75-52 vote against the change. Although President Worthen said he heard the stu- dent’s opinions, on Jan. 21, Worthen announced Ball State would convert to semesters in the fall of 1988. Worthen wrote in a memorandum, “Especially per- suasive has been the testimony of faculty members here and on other campuses that a semester system promotes learning by giving students more time to percolate and digest rigorous subject matter. “Semester calendar systems provide greater opportunity for students to conceptualize, to engage in in-depth learn- ing, to undertake substantive research and writing pro- jects, and, in general, to synthesize their learning into a coherent whole.” Many faculty and students were unhappy with Wor- then’s action. Indianapolis senior Linda Mierke gave a representative opinion. “| don’t think he should have done that,” Mierke said. “Personally, I'm for the quarter system because | don't get bored by the end of the term and | keep my peak effi- ciency. I tend to do better on the quarter system,” she said. “That’s one of the reasons | came to Ball State.” @ eby Cheri Evans Campuse99 AIM PUS Miss BSU resigns 100-campus “™ ith a growing percentage of women entering the profes- sional work force, the dream of becoming a beauty queen is losing its power. For Mischon Stigleman, Muncie junior, it was difficult to choose| between her title as Miss Ball State 1986 and an opportunity to advance her professional singing career. In early January Stigleman, like 100 or so other vocalists, auditioned for a job at Cedar Point Amusement Park. While she waited to hear from the park, rehearsals for the 1986 Miss Ball State pageant continued. On Jan. 26, Stigleman accepted her crown in shock. It was her first pageant, and she hadn't expected to win against 39 other talented girls. As if that were not enough, less than a month later Cedar Point offered her a contract to perform for the summer in the Centennial Theatre, the park’s largest pop vocal show. However, her employer refused to allow her the leave time she needed during the week of June 23 to compete in the Miss In- diana pageant. “Singing professionally has been my goal for the past two years,” she said. “I don’t think anyone knows what that means to me.” Stigleman has been a member of University Singers for each of her three years at Ball State, but her singing career began much earlier than that. “T've told my family so many times if | could be singing right now | probably wouldn't be in school,” she said. “] want to sing professionally some day. But right now | want to finish my degree to have something to fall back on. Show biz is such a risky business I need to have some other means for supporting myself.” Working at Cedar Point is the kind of foot-in-the-door position a performer needs to get into the world of show business, and that was one of the reasons Stigleman chose the job over her title. “| know a lot of people who have gone from Cedar Point to other places like Musicana in Florida,” she said. “They work cruise ships, or go to Disney, which is one of the best entertainment parks around, in my opinion. I'd love to go to Disney. | performed a solo there last year with University Singers and it was wonderful.” Stigleman had, however, accepted the crown. Winning the Miss Indiana pageant was a possibility, however remote. “| would have loved to represent Ball State,” she said. “| didn’t want to give up my title. | weighed the pros and cons, and the job outweighed going to Miss Indiana.” Once she made her decision, her thoughts turned from her own feelings to the public’s. “| was a little concerned; | didn’t know how people would react,” she said. “I hoped everyone would unders- tand.... “T wish, I just wish there would have been some way | could have gone to Miss Indiana and kept my job,” she said. ‘I guess to other people, words can’t express the love | have for what I'm doing.” @ eby Angie Fullenkamp ie Ae ” Py é é . i .

A scene of domestic violence unfolded Oct. 12 at Scheidler Apartments as neighbors looked on in disbelief. Jerry Roysden shot his estranged wife, Jodey, as she fled from the apartment. He then turned the gun on himself. Roysden was admitted to Ball Memorial Hospital in critical condition. Mrs. Roysden was dead from two gunshot wounds upon the arrival of police at 9:20 a.m. Mrs. Roysden, 27, was a Ball State student who was employed as a secretary in the College of Business.

According to reports in the Muncie Star, a 42-year-old Daleville woman told Trooper Michael L. Pershing that she was shopping for a new bra at Ball Stores in the Mall on Oct. 19, 1985.

Campus 1 () l Campus 102-campus Frats face dry rush niversity policy changes involving fraternity rush had significant effects on this year’s activities and pledges. With new scholastic requirements for pledges and with fraternities suffering an alcohol ban, rush took on a new dimension. A new university standard was set for fraternity rushees. All men rushing a fraternity must have com- pleted at least 12 credit hours and have attained a 2.0 grade point average or better. Prior to the 1985-86 academic year, freshmen could pledge during their first quarter at Ball State but could not go active without a 2.0 GPA. The new policy seemed to be well accepted by the fraternities. Phi Sigma Kappa president Richard Ruppert thought the change was beneficial to both the pledge and the fraternity. “It was pretty much a positive move,” Ruppert said. “I think you'll see a better quality pledge because they have made the grade.” Gil Smith, president of Theta Xi, also thought the new rush policy was favorable. Smith said pledges would be able to develop better study habits before rushing. The prospect of dry rush also met with controversy. Rocky Rothrock Readying a shot, a Sigma Tau Sigma brother prepares to pocket one in a corner hole. “Pool halls” are known to be smoked-filled and liquor laden, but the Student Center ar- cade room was strictly “dry” during rush. Sigma Tau Gamma brother Chris Pence serves up non- alcoholic beverages at dry rush activities. Games Frames served as the sight of the fraternity’s get-acquainted night. Fraternities were prohibited from serving alcohol during rush functions. After an initial outcry, the organizations accepted the new policy and many favored the new dry rush over alcoholic parties. Mark Weitgenant, president of Sigma Tau Gamma, said the fraternities benefitted from the dry rush. “We general- ly had more guys interested in the fraternity and not just interested in drinking beer,” he said. Ruppert also said dry rush attracted men who were in- terested in the fraternity, not just partying. “Also, for it being a non-alcoholic rush, | think you'll see a more responsible pledge,” Ruppert said. With dry rush more parties were staged away from the fraternity houses. Several activities were held at the Stu- dent Center, video arcades and the YMCA. Smith thought dry rush parties were “kind of slow because in his opi- nion the pledges didn’t socialize as much as they other- wise would have. Smith said his fraternity hasn’t staged rush events out- side of the fraternity house, but said the change was con- sidered for the future. @ eby Robin Jo Mills eRocky Rothrock a ala ace a i a ea a RE a EE AAO ST MN RR SN AC EE EE A TS eAndrew Johnston Seven years passed since the Duck Pond was last cleaned.

Three bags of dead fish were also victims of the pollution. As the year passed no decision was made to restock the pond with fish, but the fountain, which had been inoperational for most of the year, was fixed and operational in late June of 1986.

Koch accepts UM job James V. Koch, the provost and vice-president for academic affairs since 1980, was hired as president of the University of Montana on Thursday, June 19 to be effective September 1. Koch was the only one of five finalists interviewed by the regents. Two other finalists withdrew, citing reservations over the job’s salary or perceiv- ed problems with state funding. Koch, who has a doctorate in economics from Northwestern University, was quoted in local papers saying he wanted to in- crease the university's “outreach” to geographically isolated areas of the state. The University of Montana has 9,000 students and three professional schools, law, forestry and pharmacy. The university is on the quarter system (except for the law school). UM is located in Missoula, a western Montana city with a population of about 35,000. The University of Montana, which is facing bleak finanical prospects, could be subject to the academic or other pro- grams, Koch told the Star. The university has departments of business, journalism, music, physical therapy, psychology, social work, education and speech pathology and audiology. @ Spring Sing dropped due to student apathy In the lounge of Botsford and Swinford Halls, the 30-member Spring Sing Ensemble sang its medley of contemporary Chris- tian songs for the crowd that had gathered for the Spring Cof- feehouse. Like groups before them, the ensemble continued the tradition of performing in the coffeehouse the night before Spring Sing competition. Unlike their predecessors, however, the ensemble was denied the right to perform in the tradition itself. For the first time Spring Sing was canceled. On April 8, Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia and Sigma Alpha Iota, sponsors of the event, announc- ed the cancellation. It was less than two weeks before the scheduled date of the contest. “The official reason is that four groups dropped out,” Joann Miller, Muncie senior and co-director of the event, said. “With only three groups remaining, we couldn't have a show. It would only have been 15 minutes long.” The groups that dropped out represented Clevenger Hall, Sigma Chi and Chi Omega, Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Alpha Chi Omega, and Delta Chi and Alpha Phi. “| pulled both groups out because the group putting it on was so disorganized,” Della Rogers, Plainfield senior and director of the Chi Omega- Sigma Chi group, said. “They were still deciding if they were going to have it or not. Their attitude created a bad attitude with both groups I was working with.” The sponsors had made changes in the controversial rules about dancing in an at- tempt to get more groups in- volved because they realized Spring Sing was in danger of disappearing, Miller said. The sponsors rewrote the rules to permit more choreography. Letters, packets and representatives were pro- vided to give the groups guidance, she said. For Tichenor Hall, Delta Chi Little Sisters and Botsford and Swinford Halls, the remaining competitors, a meeting was held to inform them of the dropouts. “The worst thing about the cancellation was one of the judges had turned down two other jobs for this one. I had to call him and tell him of the cancellation,” Miller said. “ We also spent a lot of money, which may hurt next year’s group if they don’t get funding from the School of Music.” Thirty Delta Chi Little Sisters were disappointed to lose their chance to be the first little sister organization in the event, Denise Olsen, Indianapolis junior and organizer of the group, said. “The director of the program in the School of Music sug- gested we have a meeting with the presidents of the halls, the fraternities and the sororities to change and improve Spring Sing,” Miller said. “We decided to keep working, to come back with an appeal to make it go over next year.” The ensemble finished its medley and silently accepted the applause. Then, holding hands, they sang “Blessing of Aaron,” and ensemble alumni in the audience joined in quiet- ly. It was one tradition they would not allow to slip away. @ eby Angie Fullenkamp Campus® 103 JEMtertaimnien plight of the homeless 104 centertainment Tires spit drops of water as they spun over the wet pavement, leaving trails of dissolving bubbles behind. As cars parked, people tumbled out, many outfitted in bright yellow slickers or clutching umbrellas, which soon pop- ped up into place. Even though sporadic showers throughout the day on May 25 had first delayed, and then postponed the In- dianapolis 500, these undaunted volunteers braved an afternoon drizzle to take part in another event, Hands Across America. Hands Across America was organized following the success of the “We Are The World” album. Both events were projects of the USA for Africa foundation. The dif- ference was that although the millions raised through “We are the World” went to support starving and drought-stricken Africa, Hands Across America was stag- ed to raise $50 million for the hungry and homeless in the United States. More than five million people were needed to form a 4,000-mile human chain from New York to California, over farmland, across bridges, through cities and over plains. While people were stepping into place across the coun- try, those just off Interstate 465 at the northeast corner of Indianapolis, were doing the same. At first, only small clusters of volunteers dotted the designated route, the only signs that something out of the ordinary would soon be happening. Then, as more and more cars made their way to the line and parked end-to-end on the road’s soggy shoulders, some semblance of an organized chain emerged from the excitement. The 2 o'clock link-up time drew near, but the organiza- tion of participants was only partly complete. Individuals, couples, families and groups of friends wandered the length of the line, seeking some choice spot to squeeze into, or looking for the largest available gap to fill. The volunteers made their way down the line, pausing to talk to acquaintances or to ask route guides a question. Although rain gear was the fashion of the day, many people were proudly clad in Hands Across America T- shirts or visors. Their display of clothing signaled that they had been among the first to sign up for the day of national unity. Donations of $10 ensured a place in line. A larger donation of $25 brought an official T-shirt through the mail, while $35 garnered a T-shirt and a visor. But even those who had delayed sending in their money ahead of time were welcomed and needed to complete the cross country line. Minutes before 2 p.m. most participants had claimed a segment of the line for their own, but gaps still remain- ed. Despite valiant efforts many spaces could not be fill- ed. Those in line let neither the weather nor the gaps dampen their spirits. Radio broadcasts floated from many of the parked cars, although not enough were being played, forcing some participants to strain to hear the na- tionwide simulcast of the now famous lines from “We Are The World” and “Hands Across America.” Others jumped out of line for a quick photograph or two, snapping the shutter in a frenzy. Some were serious, others joked; all were expectant. People then held hands, stranger with stranger, friend with friend. The event was underway and singing grew slowly louder. Helicopters flew overhead, carrying voyagers for the 6 p.m. news and trailing the line as it wound down the small but now-crowded roads. Par- ticipants lifted their clasped hands above their heads, recognizing that the moment they, and all of America, had waited for was here. The chain was complete in spirit, if not in reality. One local coordinator told the Associated Press, “We really are unique in this country. No place else could you generate the type of caring and warmth that you have here. | haven’t seen this much enthusiasm generated over something in a long, long time,” Joe DiEduardo said. Taking part in the enthusiasm in Indiana were doctors, students, teachers, unemployed and even national celebrities. Indiana Pacer Wayman Tisdale took his place in line in Indianapolis, as did singer Frank Stallone, the brother of Sylvester Stallone. Nationwide, other well- known personalities linked hands in support of the fun- draiser and its goals. Bill Cosby, Kenny Rogers, Pete Rose and Lily Tomlin acted as co-chairpersons of the event, helping to draw people to the line, which cut across 16 states. Those who had called 1-800-USA-9000 to pledge a donation had received a computerized print- out of their official place in line and a brochure explain- ing what Hands Across America was about. Singer and actor Kenny Rogers said, “Hands Across America is an immediate opportunity for each American to take direct action.... Everyone can play a part.” Despite the rain and drizzle over much of the state, hundreds of thousands of Hoosiers did take part. Organizers had quoted 400,000 as the number of people needed to complete the 321-mile Indiana route. After the event, it was estimated that about 260,000 had linked hands across the state, a good number in the face of the weather. Brad Senden, state director of Hands Across America, said he hoped that at least $2 million of In- diana’s goal of $4 million could be raised by the end of December, when the donation period would end. In Indianapolis, when the helicopters had droned off into the distance and the last strains of the songs had melted in the air, the chain united for one final cheer before breaking apart. As the line dissolved, some headed straight for their cars to avoid the expected traffic conges- tion, while others lingered to talk or take a last-minute picture. The lines of bodies soon transformed into lines of cars whose tires spun slowly, once again spiraling water back onto the pavement. Minutes later, almost every sign of the event fresh in everyone's mind had disappeared. One teenager shuffled through the wet grass and reached up to carefully remove a “Hands Across America Route” sign from a telephone pole.

Willie Nelson, after talking with Bob Dylan at Live Aid, decided that something needed to be done to show support for farmers’ needs. The result, was Farm Aid patterned after USA for Africa and Live Aid. The show, billed by pro- moters as ‘a concert for America,” took place at the University of Illinois at Cham- paigne in the middle of September. Farm Aid didn’t have the big names in the music industry that Live Aid had, but per- former organizers, John Cougar Melloncamp and Neil Young, held their ground. Other stars performing at Farm Aid were Billy Joel, Glenn Campbell, Loretta Lynn, Foreigner, Dary! Hall, John Fogerty, Don Henley, and Lou Reed. Nelson and organizers were able to raise $10 million for farmers. The amount was lower than the $50 million they had hoped to raise; in part because the weather did not cooperate. It poured rain throughout the concert. But, spirits remained high because the concert’s organizers had accomplished a goal that many thought would never happen. @ by Butch Robbins 106 cEntertainment Artists rock for hunger Hudson dies from Rock Hudson’s year-long struggle with Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome ended when Hudson died in his sleep at his Beverly Hills home on Oct. 2, 1985. Hudson’s battle with the fatal disease, which attacks the body’s immune system, was made public after he entered the American Hospital near Paris on July 21. During his one-week stay in the hospital, Hudson’s condition was diagnosed as too poor even for experimental AIDS therapy. The star of 62 films and two television series, Hudson was also a recurring guest on the prime-time drama “Dynasty.” Hudson, born Roy Scherer Jr. in Winnetka, Ill., returned from It started as one man’s dream. The dream was to gather rock stars from around the world to perform simultaneous concerts at Philadelphia’s John F. Ken- nedy Stadium and London's Wembley Stadium. The man, Bob Geldof, was the brainchild behind the organization of the event. The event, Live Aid, brought together some of the biggest names in the music industry to help fight famine in Ethiopia. Geldof’s dream came true on July 13. As he was organizing the event, Geldof found it to be a monumental task. When the show was ready to go, there were 39 acts billed to perform in Philadelphia and 22 acts in France on an Air France charter flight and spent the following 18 days in the UCLA Medical Center. Hudson, the first actor to publicly admit having AIDS, focused world-wide attention on the disease. Calls to the AIDS hotline operated by the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta tripled the day after Hudson’s announcement. Hudson also donated $250,000 to help research, and his gift enabled the National AIDS Research Foundation in Los Angeles and the AIDS Medical Foundation in New York City to merge September 26. The result, the American Foundation for AIDS Research, unified American scientific ef- London. Many performers and per- formances highlighted the 16- hour event. Phil Collins made trans- atlantic music history as he ap- peared in London in the morn- ing, then flew to Philadelphia on the Concorde so he could perform there. Madonna, making her first public appearance after appear- ing in Playboy and Penthouse magazines, performed three numbers including her summer hit, “Get Into the Groove.” Madonna, who wore a coat through the show despite very high temperatures, said, “I ain’t taking shit off today, because you may hold it against me 10 years from now.” Many groups reunited for the AIDS forts to find a cure for the disease. Entertainment stars also aided the search for a cure. More than $1 million was raised for research through a celebrity benefit, hosted Sept. 19 by Elizabeth Taylor and Burt Reynolds, friends of Hudson. Although Hudson was too ill to attend, a telegram delivered to the event said, “I am not happy that I am sick. I am not happy that I have AIDS. But if that is helping others, | can, at least, know that my own misfortune has had some positive worth.” Hudson had no immediate survivors. @ by Ellen Kane special event. Stephen stills, Graham Nash, David Crosby, and Neil Young regrouped for a 15-minute set; Robert Plant and Jimmy Page performed together for the first time in five years, and the Who, who broke up in 1982, were reunited in London. In one of the evening highlights in Philadelphia, Tina Turner and Mick Jagger ignited for their rendition of “State of Shock.” The London show ended first as its performers sang Band- Aid’s “Do They Know It’s Christmas.” USA For Africa’s “We Are the World,” closed out the Philadelphia show. The concerts, which were witnessed by over 160 million people, raised $70 million for Ethiopian relief. Although dreams may be few for the people of Ethiopia, Live Aid proved that sometimes dreams do come true. @ eby Butch Robbins Best remembered for his many films and guest appearances on “Dynasty,” Rock Hudson _ per- formed his last feature role in the 1982 television show “The Devlin Connection,” where he played a private detective.

But if | have more than an hour between classes, | go upstairs to study since it’s quieter than in the lounge.” “| don’t think there’s a dif- ferent atmosphere upstairs,” disagreed John Babb, Muncie sophomore. ‘| think that it’s just more comfortable to study here than anywhere else,” said Babb, taking the last swallow of his Coke. “It’s not like the Student Center study lounges where you get a lot of traffic or music; it’s really pretty quiet for the most part.” Music, Bracken doesn’t have-- except in Educational Resources. But traffic, it does, as Minnie Stephens, faculty turnstile in- spector, witnesses everyday. “We take count here every hour of how many people come in and leave,” said Stephens. “We usually average about 300 persons.an hour on a busy day.” Checking a student’s pile of library books before he left the premises, Stephens makes sure no library books or materials are taken without first being checked out. “We have to check their books to make sure they’ve been checked out,” she explained. “Everything that goes out has to come by here. That's the reason why everyone must go through the turnstile.” But for some students, the library provides services other than the obvious. Melissa Green, Muncie sophomore, found she could study, eat, read the newspaper and visit with friends in other places on campus; however, only the library had one special attraction. “] come here because there's a change machine,” said Green with a laugh. “No where else on campus is there another machine. And besides, it’s con- veniently centralized. | mean, you can get change from the machine, get pop and junkfood from the machines in the lounge and study all in one place.” Taking advantage of all the library offered, Ken Lowe, Mun- cie sophomore, practically made the library his home. ‘I’m here anywhere from eight to twelve hours a day,” said Lowe. “I've got a double major and | really need to study a lot. There’s too much going on elsewhere for me to be able to study. It’s quieter here, plus | can take study breaks with my friends.” Joining Lowe in making Bracken a home, other students spend time in all areas of the library whether it’s for conve- nience or class-related reasons. “T'm here all the time,” said Shelley Birch, Anderson junior. “I study, go down to Ed Resources to watch films to pass time. I’m all over the place. Plus, it’s the only place you can get change.

Whether to fulfill general studies requirements or to complete a major, the majority of students take Biology 100. Many students who took Biology 100 as an elective admit- ted to choosing the course because they heard it was a “blow-off.” One such person was Bluffton senior Susanna McCord. “| took it my freshman year, my first quarter,” McCord said. “I was really excited. My sister told me it was an easy ‘A’.” Another person seeking a good grade for minimal effort was Angola junior Scott Hill, who ad- mitted taking the course “because I'd had biology in high school and | thought it would be easy. It was something to get an easy four hours of credit in general electives,” Hill said. Some students actually com- pleted the course for their major, such as New Haven senior Rick Norton. An industrial education major, Norton said he took Biology 100 because “it was re- quired in my science series.” Other students, such as David Sipes, a Columbus senior major- ing in biology, chose the class to help choose a major. Sipes, who took the class his freshman year, said he “wanted to determine what field | would be most com- fortable in.” The course was generally divided into several sections of 20 to 25 students, with each sec- tion meeting three times a week. Students were also required to do lab assignments each week on . their own time. The first weekly class meeting was a discussion of that week’s material. The students then did their lab work before the second class meeting, which was a review of the lab and reading assignments. In the third meeting the students were tested over the week’s material. The class focused on the week- ly labs. Students had to attend the lab on their own time to listen to tapes, see films and per- form experiments. Most students agreed the labs could usually be completed between one and two hours. There were, however, a few ex- ceptions to the rule. “Labs are more or less on your own, and they took me forever,” Sipes said. The lab system seemed to be a Students clock time for science aes good, practical method of con- ducting the course. However, there were a few problems in the system. Several students, considering the lab to be the most important element in the course, did only the lab and ignored the reading assignments and studying. Mc- Cord admitted when she had the course she “never studied. | just did the labs and didn’t study.” Some students were not satisfied with the lab system. One such person was Muncie junior Debbie Young, who con- sidered the lab “frustrating.” Her complaint came from the large number of students who needed lab time and the limited amount of time available. “There are only three lab days a week,” Young said. “The four hundred and some odd students need to get in and do their labs in those three days.” The large number of students in the course brought an added frustration. All Biology 100 .students had to take the final ex- am together in University Hall, ignoring the standard practice of having the final correspond to the section enrolled in. @ Biology 100° 1 13 Future shock T he robot jerked to his right, dropped an arm and adjusted its finger to pick up the box carried toward him on a conveyer belt.

His program continued until the platform was fully stacked. Students of the new Computer- Integrated-Manufacturing (CIM) op- tion in the School of Industry and Technology learned to devise pro- grams that would improve the effi- ciency and safety of robot use in industry. Students of the CIM option were required to complete 23 hours of classes, including computer graphics in drafting and design, in- troduction to computer integrated systems, fundamentals of in- dustrial robots, and introduction to computer-aided manufacturing. Students also complete 30 hours of common core requirements and 40 hours of manufacturing technology courses of upper level chemistry, physics and math. As a result, a two-year associate degree in the department of manufacturing technology requires a total of 93 hours. A student may also obtain a bachelor’s degree with 186 credit hours. The manufacturing technology I 1 4c industrial Technology Robotic technology arrives department includes manufactur- ing design, metals manufacturing and plastics manufacturing. Manufacturing design students concentrated study on computer graphics and technical drawing. Both CIM and design students worked with two-dimensional computer drafts on Apple screens and with three-dimensional designs on a two-million dollar dual screen “Intergraph” system. This complex computer not only built three-dimensional wire pic- tures from a program, but it also shades the draw ing to the program- mer’s specifications in seconds. Metals manufacturing students concentrate on characteristics of industrial materials. Upper-level students incorporate the casting and bonding of metals with a Bridgeport CNC, a computerized metals machine that shapes metal to the specifications of a computer program. Students work to produce industrial metal and study the metal-related research of large cor- porations. : Plastics manufacturing centers on designing and making of plastic molds for industry, plastics technology, and research and development in plastics. Upper- level students, like the student members of the Society of Plastics Engineers, work with a $34,000 Van Dorm Hydaulic Injection Molder. This computerized oil-run system, installed into the plastics laboratory during the summer of 1985, molds plastics and imprints designs on a plastic piece to the specifications of a computer pro- gram. Students and faculty look for- ward to the 1986 installation of a new research and development lab into the present program. Within the next few years, Thomas Gurbach, a professor in the department, said industrial researchers hope to develope com- puter sofware to interpret and translate one computer language to another. This software will enable the In- tergraph computer in the depart- ment to direc t the actions of a robot in the robotics lab, the Bridgeport CNC in the metals area, or the hydraulic molder in the plastics lab. The development of such an in- clusive program is in the works. “This is where the future lies,” Gurbach said with a smile. @ by Elleen Kane By pouring plastic pellets into the filling hopper Joe Hillman tests an injection molding machine.

Other students gained ex- perience at WIPB public television Camera never blinks Student adventures In the screen trade T he department of telecom- munications has a lot to offer students in the fast-growing in- dustries of radio, television, and film. Telecommunications (T- COM) majors have a choice of four areas of concentration: news, pro- duction, film and management. Students used to get a general overall background of T-COM with no specific area of concentration. Since 1983-84, however, students must chose what option they would like to pursue. Muncie senior, Terry Coffey, chose the news option. Coffey said choosing news over the others was not something he knew he wanted to do all along. “It wasn’t a stairway-to-heaven kind of thing,” he said about his choice. Coffey said he wanted to be a disc jockey when he was a freshman. “To be a dj you had to start in news first, so I volunteered at WBST,” Coffey said, “and | eventually changed my mind.” Coffey began at WBST rewriting stories for broadcast from newspapers or wire copy. He then did voiceovers, recordings of news stories with his voice, to be played during the newscast. Then he moved to a shift where he ran the on-air control-room board. There are plenty of chances for T-COM students in radio to get ex- perience through the department's facilities. Coffey is confident his practice and training will help him secure a job after graduation. Coffey credits networking as a factor in the successful job search, similarly, AERho (Alpha Epsilon l MGsreecomminietiane Rho), the national broadcasting fraternity, and the International Television Association (ITVA), a non-broadcast organization for students whose interest is produc- tion, help students make contacts. At last year’s national conven- tion of AERho, Ball State’s chapter was named Chapter of the Year. Besides giving students an edge in the job world, AERho and ITVA help students pursue their interests outside the classroom. Ball State students certainly have a variety of interests. Anderson senior Jaime Babb chose the pro- duction option and said he would like to edit film or videotape-for news, but his ultimate goal is to edit motion pictures or MTV videos. Through core classes students get a taste of every aspect of radio, television and film. As Debbie Nobles, Chesterton senior explained, T-COM 200 and 201 give sophomores a good idea what T-COM is all about. Since T- COM majors must have sophomore status to register for classes, Nobles suggests non- majors try these courses to see how T-COM can apply to all ma- jors. “For example, in business non- broadcast videos are produced for promotional reasons all the time,” Nobles said. There are also classes that pertain to T-COM in the department of Library Science. “l had LIb Sci 441, production of audio-visual media. It gave me more practice in production type skills, and it had helped me in my T-COM classes,” Nobles said. Another option T-COM majors can chose is sales and manage- ment. Nobles is taking this option Nobles hopes to sell commercial time for televisionso she has had to take some economics and on Minnetrista Boulevard. marketing classes also. As Coffey and Nobles show, T- COM majors have a wide variety of things to choose from in order to get the experience they will need after graduation. @ by Jennifer Strome To all C students...’ d ee personality and Ball State graduate David Letterman has provided telecommunications ma- jors and minors with an annual Letterman Telecommunications Scholarship effective in the 1985-86 school year. Along with the scholarship, he gave the department a fully equip- ped state-of-the-art radio control room, a television camera and a recorder for electronic news gather- ing and other television produc- tion. Dr. John Kurtz, telecommica- tions department chairman, said, “The generous gifts from Letter- man will insure that young profes- sionals will continue to receive hands-on experience with state-of- the-art equipment....He has made an outstanding contribution to our -program.”” Letterman, a 1970 graduate and star of “Late Night with David Let- terman,” will have a plaque mounted on the door of the radio facility reading, “Dedicated to all ‘C’ students before and after me. Signed, David Letterman.” Grades are not a criterion for this scholar- ship. Dr. Darrell Wible, professor of telecommunications, remembers having Letterman for seven classes. “He ranked third in a class of 75 and earned an ‘A’ in mass com- munications. After that he discovered the thrill of being on the air, and his scholarly work suf- fered accordingly. The scholarship includes books, transportation, tuition, room and board, and other expenses for the school year. The scholarship is provided to T- COM students who demonstrate outstanding potential of becoming professionals in the industry. University President John Wor- then said, “Mr. Letterman’s gifts are of inestimable value to students now and in the future. A scholarship such as this will be a challenge to students in telecom- munications. It will be a reminder that David Letterman, an alumnus, took the courses they are taking, worked the WBST board as a disc jockey, and perservered....” @ by Jennifer Strome Rocky Rothrock During his shift at WBST radio sta- tion, John Rose adjusts keyboard controls.

Even as a little kid I'd heard of it.” The comet’s influence did not end with the close of that presenta- tion. For the beginning of the traditional Star of Bethlehem show, the lights in the planetarium came down slowly just as the glow fades from the true sky at dusk. Stars began to pop out of the blue velvet darkness. It was the Indiana sky, and Scott pointed out the comet's approx- imate location. Later, under the real stars, a groups of parents, children and students huddled in the December chill of the rooftop observatory, awaiting their turn at the telescope. “Don’t touch the telescope,” Scott instructed the group. “The view’s hazy, but if you look in the very center, you can see it.” As visitors stepped up to the eyepiece, the wind flipped back the edges of raincoats and sent the smoke from the Physical Plant scudding across the telescope’s field of vision while viewers sear- ched the sky for stars. “It’s a very historic object,” Scott said. “Some people have never seen it and some never will.

Planetariume | 19 Undecided on University College offers an alternative to students A new “home away from home” greeted approximately 1,300 of the 3,572 incoming freshmen of 1985. This fresh con- cept in the college experience, call- ed University College, provided both students with undecided ma- jors and underprepared students with the individual attention usually available only at a small private college. In an attempt to retain the ap- proximately 20 percent of students who became discouraged with col- lege life and drop out before the sophomore year, 16 staff members who are specialists in the fields of English, math, reading, testing and evaluation, counseling, job place- ment and career planning combin- ed personal support services and top technology to meet the per- sonal and academic needs of such students. Smoothing each student's transi- tion to college and adulthood, staff specialists were assisted by six cur- 1 20 University College Advice on class selection brings Jackie Haskins to Mary Cooksey’s office. All students admitted on academic probation and those who haven’t declared a major enrolled in University College. ricular counselors, nine graduate tutors and 50 undergraduate tutors specially trained to work “one-on- one” with freshmen. This group planned workshops on time management, decision making, stress management, developing test skills, goal setting and career plan- ning to motivate “the discovery process, clarify values and deter- mine priorities and interests.” Classes, located in the Learning Center on the third floor of North Quad, were small, and tutors were available during the day, at night, and on weekends. Staff members included Barbara Weaver, English; Audrey Kirkwood, reading; Patricia Stanley, math, and Deborah Stevenson, psychology, testing and evaluating. Six counselors, Harold Caldwell, David Clayton, John Coffey, Mary Cooksey, George Hoyt and Larry Ottinger, are able to assist students better due to their smaller caseload of students. Each represented 250 students instead of the usual 1,000 per academic counselor. Students were also individually assisted in math on an Apple II computer-assisted program and by a new MacIntosh computer pro- gram, Automated Language Pro- cessing System (ALPS). This pro- gram, designed to enhance writing skills, parroted back grammar rules in response to errors highlighted on the monitor, such as spelling, punctuation, sexist or racist language, verb tense and awkward sentence or paragraph structure. The program explained the pro- blem and asked the student if a change was desired. Ball State was the second university in the United States to employ the pro- gram, developed at Brigham Young University. To estimate the success of University College as a part of “on- going research...that deals with basic questions of cognitive development, personal growth, and Rocky Rothrock social development throughout col- lege years,” student improvement was evaluated before, during and after enrollment in the program. Administrators, such as Thomas J. Kinghorn, vice president of business affairs and treasurer, counted on the program “to make a major difference as a support ser- vice for students.” Such optimism was not shared by the Indiana General Assembly, which vetoed the $678,750 request from the administration to fund the program. Supporting finances were gathered from salary savings and other budget funds. At whatever the cost, Dr. Sue Kiefer Hammersmith, University College dean, explained, “We want a quality freshmen year ex- perience. We care about them (students) as individuals. If they are having personal or academic problems, we're going to deal with the things that foul them up.” @ by Elleen Kane The University College Learning Center provides a comfortable set- ting for tutors to assist students. The room was once the Library Science Library. Math problems stump the best of us, including Michael Lemmon, who is assisted by tutor Julie Alberding.

Then, I asked what it meant. She said, ‘I have no idea.” Kristen Cosaletto worked as a tutor at the Writing Clinic. Her three years of experience led her to expect the unexpected and helped her to deal with the difficult. Cosaletto, a junior from Hun- tington, was one of a corps of 22 student tutors who are employed to help their peers with such pro- blems as strange sentence struc- ture, poor punctuation and misplaced modifiers. Occasionally, they faced more indepth problems such as reading comprehension, as with the student from Thailand; in most every case they were ready, willing and prepared to deal with a wide variety of English-related dif- ficulties. “Our tutors are trained,” said Jane Haynes, the new associate l 2 Qe Tutors director to the writing program director. “They go through a se- quence of training sessions. Also, there are a lot of materials available and other people all around, so there’s quite a lot of help and support for the tutors.” Additional materials for the center included computer facilities in an adjacent room for students who preferred on-screen grammar battles, and extensive files full of traditional exercise sheets for those less adventurous. The files also held records of each instructor's preferences on tutor-student col- laborations so that “a tutor can really connect up,” as Haynes put it. The Writing Center itself, located on the second floor of the Robert P. Bell Building, was prepared to handle the flow of anxious students who came there in search of help. Just inside the door sat a student secretary, who sometimes also served as a director of traffic or soother of souls. Students were directed to an open waiting area where comfortable brown seats blended into the overall look of neutrality and studiousness: brown carpet, subtly off-white walls and file cabinets and grey study carrels make the center look, as one tutor said, “professional.” However, unexpected flashes of color made their appearances here and there to save the room from being too impersonal. A single wall stood as brightly orange-gold as a Trusty No. 2, while half a dozen plastic chairs exhibited a blue more colorful than the cap of a Bic pen. After a tutor and a student united, often with something like “Tm Kelly. Are you Jeff?” they moved to a carrel to settle in and get down to the subject at hand. As students worked, muffled voices, coughs and creakings of chairs often filtered through from the adjoining English classroom, reminding the students why they were there and what they were striving to improve.

Honors Intense classes challenge campus’ best O ffering an opportunity for students who show intellectual potential to study in an intensive four-year program, the Honors College continues to meet the needs of both hard workers and the academically gifted. The Honors College was tem- porarily unsettled this year as it underwent a major revision in ad- ministration. Psychology professor Dr. Arno Wittig stepped into depar- ting director Dr. Warren Vander Hill’s position. After serving as ac- ting director since July 1, 1985, Wittig was chosen as director of the Honors College in Spring Quarter. The Honors College offers many unique academic op- portunities. One concept presented to students is a challenge in education. Ac- cording to Wittig, distinction students (students who have been admitted to the university with distinction) should have an opportunity to do advanced work. Also, the Honors College offers several career-related advantages. Wittig emphasized employers are looking for graduates with “a breadth of experience and a liberal look at the world.” The Honors College provides more broad-range and perhaps more open-minded classes than are typical. Wittig used Proctor and Gam- ble as an example of a firm that looks for “well-rounded and well-versed people.” Wittig said, “In the past they have been hap- py with their successful choices from Ball State, some of whom have been honors graduates.” A second career-oriented ad- vantage of the Honors College concerns making contacts. Being in smaller classes means a stu- dent can work closely with the professor, and this close associa- tion opens up opportunities which may be beneficial to the students at graduation. An added advantage of the Honors College is that honors students often receive the best professors on campus. At the end of every honors course, the students evaluate their pro- fessors, and partially through this evaluation process, the most competent and professional educators are retained to teach in College the Honors College. Wittig, who taught honors sec- tions as well as general sections of psychology before being selected as the acting director of Honors College, feels honors courses are “more intense” than regular classes. In his opinion, the reading assignments, for ex- ample, aren’t necessarily more difficult, but there is a larger quantity of reading material in- volved. There are seven required core classes in the Honors College with the eighth being a senior thesis. The Honors College also offers many different programs and scholarships. Some of the pro- grams include Honors Commit- tee, Honors College Student Council, and Honors Publica- tions such as News and Notes, a quarterly newsletter, and Odyssey, an annual scholarly- creative journal. Scholarships include those for high school seniors such as the Whitinger Programs and the Honors Distinction Program and some national scholarships such as the Harry S. Truman, Rhodes, Marshall and Melon Scholar- ships. University honors are available in all majors. The structure of some majors programs leaves an adequate or generous number of credit hours available for honors while other majors, such as Ar- chitecture, Elementary Education and Accounting, have strict course structures which sometimes make honors difficult. But in cases such as these the director of the Honors College and the Honors College curricular ad- visor attempt to work out dif- ficulties. Incoming freshmen who have been admitted to the university with distinction are automatical- ly invited to become a part of the Honors College at orienta- tion. To continue in the Honors College, once enrolled a student must maintain a 3.0 grade point average. To graduate with University Honors, a 3.25 cumulative G.P.A. must be at- tained. @ by Susan Walters Honors College | 25 Bedpans, andages Careful insertion of a feeding tube by Lisa Cole enables Mary Alice Williams to survive on a liquid diet as part of a class lab. Laboratory practice gave nursing students the chance to become efficient and comfortable with performing nurs- ing duties. Nursing care enters a technological age T he study of nursing is not only about changing bedpans or checking thermometers. In fact, it has come a long way, and so has the School of Nursing. On July 1, 1985, the department of nursing became the School of Nursing. Since then, it has become one of the larger departments on campus. “The name change will not only enhance our image in nursing circles, but it will also promote the hiring of faculty and help us secure more grants,” Dr. Mary Jo Ardnt, director of the School of Nursing said. Although the name change was very significant to the School of Nursing, the quality the school has attained is the major reason for its success. “The School of Nursing is quite competetive, and we receive only a very high quality student,” Ardnt aid. “We are not able to take all the students that enroll, so entry is based on their grade point averages,” Ardnt said. “I don’t try to discourage students, but I tell them if they have less than a 2.5 GPA, they will generally be unable to complete all the necessary re- quirements.” The school does have some strict requirements. If students fail the same class twice, or fail two different nursing courses, they are out of the program. “The School of Nursing has many diverse techniques to train 126 -nursing the students, and by the time they complete all the requirements, they are highly sought after,” Ard- nt said. The students start their intensive training when they are sophomores and continue through their senior year. During the course of their studies, students participate in various labs and practice everything from changing a ban- dage to giving injections. They use models until they are ready to begin on live patients. Students are evaluated by instruc- aS %% Rocky Rothrock tors in lab situations and also gain practice by videotaping their techniques. “Along with the training done in classrooms, the students also utilize about 60 agencies that pro- vide on-the-job training,” Ardnt said. Although Ball Hospital is where the students receive most of their clinical experience, they also receive training elsewhere in their specialized fields. “Students specializing in geriatrics go to Westminister Village Care Center, Delaware County Health Center and Foun- tainview Place Health Care Facility to name a few, which provides the students with extended care for developmentally disabled adults and children,” Ardnt stated. Other places where experience is gained are Richmond State Hospital, Marion’s Veteran’s Hospital and Methodist Hospital in indianapolis. Several written computer in- struction programs also have been initiated to assist students in calculating drug dosages, range of motion and care for cardiac pacemakers, further enhancing training techniques. @ eby Debbie Hermansen A student nursing lab activity gives Stacey Wilson practice at preparing a dose of an injection.

Nursing o] 2 7 eRocky Rothrock Artists’ ideas require talent and effort alettes of matted paint, dried brushes and the image of the dis- tant but romantic painter are not incompatible with a high-quality education in developing profes- sional artists, designers and teachers. “We're always re-evaluating what we do,” Thomas Minkler, chairman of the department of art, said. “I think we have the strongest undergraduate program in art in the state of Indiana.” He explained that the faculty, both old and new, bring fresh ideas and approaches to teaching art. Because they are involved with their own projects, as well as teaching, they can bring new con- cepts and experiences to the classroom. “T think students are in tune to that,” Minkler said. The department offers classes for both majors and non-majors. Art majors must complete core re- quirements, which include courses in art history, design, drawing and painting. The core requirements provide the foundation for specialty areas, which include drawing, weaving, metals, ceramics, sculpture, print- making, photography, graphic design, interior-environmental design, art history, art education and painting. Ann Weilbaker, a Corydon l 28 ear senior majoring in interior design, noted the size of the department as a plus. “The interiors department is so small, they can zero in on our needs,” she said. “And | really en- joy being on a first-name basis with my instructors.” Weilbaker went on to commend one of her instructors, Phil Repp. “Almost alone, he has turned the interior design department into what it is today. It was nothing when he came here,” she said. “I'm really impressed with not on- ly what Phil has done with the program so far, but with the im- provements every year.” Weilbaker went on to say that a complete knowledge of basics is stressed. Students are required to fill out the paperwork and specification sheets on projects, just as professionals do. According to Weilbaker, familiarity with these forms has brought praise to graduates of the program. In addition to providing quality teaching, the department em- phasizes computer literacy and upgrading the physical facilities. According to Minkler, computer graphics is expanding rapidly, and art majors need to be comfortable working with computers. In attempting to improve the physical facilities, the Art Building itself is a major concern. The structure is 50 years old and has suffered from severe wear from the many people who have graced its steps. Painting and other general repairs are to be the first im- provements, and plans have been made to replace wornout equip- ment over the next several years. According to Minkler, the economy affects artists like everyone else but the job outlook for art majors is generally good, particularly in the graphic design field. Expansion of the visual com- munications fields has triggered a growing demand for advertising and for talented, inventive people to create it, Minkler said. Many art majors open their own shops or pursue graduate school to teach on the college level. According to Minkler, com- munication is what it’s all about. The artist must express himself, whether he is an actor or a dancer, a painter or a sculptor. Teaching students to express themselves artistically and creatively is the basis of instruc- tion in the Ball State department of art. “T could think of nothing finer to do than for a person to be an ar- tist,” Minkler said. @ eby Diane Kennedy eMarc d.

Dr. B.K. Swartz, professor of an- thropology, did just that when he spent a full year living among the diverse cultures of Africa. Swartz spent the year in Cameroon, Africa, as part of a pro- fessor exchange program, serving as a professor in the archaeology option at the University of Yaounde. During his year abroad, Swartz took part in several studies including cave excavations and searches, African Iron Age studies, and pottery analyses. Swartz’s original purpose in travelling to Africa was to search for Paleolithic Early Stone Age tools and to search for rock mark- ings. But according to Swartz, the areas of the markings were inac- cessible. Poor roads and the ex- pense of travel made the searches unfeasible. Swartz turned his atten- tion to cave studies. He began his excavations at the Budubwailale Cave, near Ebodie, with a group of archaeology students. Swartz said a pygmy tribe once dwelt in and around the l 30 «anthropology cave. Incidents of pygmy tribes liv- ing in caves are rare, he explained, making this particular excavation quite interesting although no major discoveries were made. “There was no occupational debris there,” Swartz said, adding, “The pygmies have moved to more modern dwellings. Maybe they're trying to keep up with the Joneses.” From Budubwailale Cave, the group moved on to the Saa Region of Africa in search of caves. They discovered a few but again found no evidence of tribal occupation. After his cave studies, Swartz worked with a “maitrise” student (a French equivalent of an American graduate student) in gathering information for the stu- dent’s masters thesis. The focus was an Iron Age site called Nkometou, where huge pits con- taining evidence of fire, pottery, iron slag and utilized stones were located, suggesting the early smelting of iron. “Many Americans still believe Africans didn’t have metal, when actually they worked with iron quite early,” Swartz said. Upon completion of these Iron Age studies, Swartz decided to focus on African po ttery. Swartz went to the area of Eton, located 40 kilometers northwest of Yaounde, where he focused on one of the five pottery-making villages in that area. According to Swartz, the pottery is designed us- ing carved wooden roulettes--small wooden cylinders rolled back and forth across the clay to make a pat- tern. “The Eton people told me about an ancient village nearby where one man remembers his grand- mother having lived and having made pottery, so I decided to look there,” he said. Swartz said that when Germans moved into the region and built roads, they forced the natives to move their settlements next to the roads so the Germans could better control them. The ancient village Swartz was about to explore ex- isted before the roads were built, and when he completed his ex- ploration, he had found several roulette patterns the Eton people had never known existed. Other than his new discoveries, Swartz found the most interesting observations on his trip to be the differences between the French and American university systems. Swartz said in the French system in Africa, the professors in a cer- tain department get together and decide the subject each will teach. Then they teach that subject to a group of students one hour per week for one year. The students then take tests writ- ten by the department. “There’s no guarantee the tests will even coin- cide with what is taught, and the tests aren't even graded by the pro- fessors many times,” he said. “And since the tests are complete- ly essay, many students do poorly if they do not know the language in which the test is written. Ac- cording to Swartz, it is essential that all students become bilingual. “Ball State students think they have it bad,” Swartz said. “But in that system, the students are treated like utter dirt. “You spend your time doing two things: simply surviving or waiting,” Swartz remembered. “You're totally isolated from the world, and after three to four mon- ths, it’s a tough life psychological- ly, and you've got to get back.” Then, summing up his ex- perience, Swartz was candid about his feelings. “I don’t want to do that again for a while,” he said. @ eby Janie Tuttle eDiane Kenned Diane Kennedy These pottery artifacts demonstrate the ancient practice of using wooden roulettes to put designs on clay. The pieces were found by Dr. B. K. Swartz during his year in Africa. Examining African artifacts in a more comfortable setting, Dr. B. K. Swartz looks over many of his ancient finds. Swartz spent a year in Africa as an archaeologist sear- ching for ancient relics. Anthropology ] 3 | Home Economics ‘holds its own’ for the moment t a time when many colleges and universities across the coun- try are phasing out their home economics departments, Ball State is “holding its own,” according to Dr. Helen Smith, chairperson of the home economics department. The department offers training for careers in dietetics, dietetic technology, food management, home economics, fashion mer- chandising, and housing and home furnishings. Programs involve not only classroom instruction, but also stress hands-on experience. Students work in restaurants and fast-food outlets, assorted retail stores and a number of local health-care facilities. On-campus learning experiences are offered in The Home Manage- ment Complex and the Family and Child Study Center. The Home Management Com- plex includes two eight-room houses and a director's apartment, designed around a small courtyard. Students spend 10 weeks in residence in the complex studying furnishings, materials, home design and management respon- sibilities. They learn by living l 3 QeHone Economics While preparing food, some students find a little room for fun.

The Family and Child Study Center provides laboratory ex- periences for students enrolled in infant development classes. Students work with young children in an educational, nursery school environment. Although enrollment is still predominantly female, a growing number of men are enrolled in the department, particularly in the food management and fashion merchandising areas. Meal management and food preparation classes for non-majors are also becoming primarily male. While home economics majors were once stereotyped into homemaker or teacher roles, ac- cording to Smith, that attitude is long gone because of the changes in women. “| think women are seeing themselves in different roles,” she stated. However, to aid those students who will become educators, the department offers a variety of courses. “My multi-cultural education class really helps,” Jan Taylor, Hartford City freshman, said. “It prepares you for a different en- vironment, and not to stereotype students.” Taylor, a vocational education major, said the depart- ment emphasized an appreciation of cultural differences among in- dividual students. Another sign of changing at- titudes has appeared in recent years. Students do not realize how much training they have gained for a job. In order to combat this problem, the department developed course work designed to help students visualize the many areas where their education can lead. One course is HE100, Introduc- tion to Home Economics. Somewhat comparable to a freshman orientation, this course explores available career op- portunities in the home economics profession. It includes field trips, meeting with practicing home economists as resource persons, and an in- depth exploration of one area of the profession. Another course, comparable to a senior seminar, explores current interests in the field and may also cover everything from writing a resume to selling yourself in an in- eAndrew Johnston terview. Gina Wantz, Muncie senior and fashion merchandising major, said she thinks the senior seminar will be very helpful. She is interested in the cosmetic field, and would eventually like to do consultant work with skin and color analysis. Job opportunities in home economics are reported to be good. According to a U.S. Department of Agriculture study completed in 1981, a general shortage of profes- sional home economists is predicted because of expanded ef- forts to improve living conditions everywhere. An example of this trend shows itself in the food service industry, which employs approximately six million people and is one of the nation's largest occupational groups. Economists estimate a need for about 250,000 new people each year to meet personnel demands in this industry. @ eby Diane Kennedy The proof is in the pudding. And in this case, the cookies.

The College of Business is one of only five schools in the nation offering an entrepreneurship and small business management major, join- ing Baylor, Babson, Southern California and Wichita State in this advanced concept of education. While the Business College had conceptualized the idea of the ma- jor prior to 1984, the curriculum had not yet extended into a major before that time. A few courses in small business were offered, but the college wanted to establish a full department for entrepreneurs. In 1983, the Business College hired Dr. Donald Kuratko to develop a practical curriculum in this evolving field of study. Presently the sole member of the entrepreneur and small business department, Kuratko was “given the program as coordinator and the task of developing everything.” The program resulting from Kuratko’s year of development is what he calls a “dual progression” system. This teaching strategy in- corporates the traditional classroom theories of business and practical experience in the business world. Students in this department take the basic 76 hours of core classes required by all management ma- 134 eBusiness Entrepreneurs jors, plus a sequence of five classes pertinent to their option; small business ventures, en- trepreneurship, small business practicum, management informa- tion systems for small businesses, and advanced entrepreneurship. One of the most exciting of these options is the entrepreneur- ship major. This course studies the development and administration of an enterprise. Students are in- troduced to the problems and challenges facing today’s en- trepreneurs. Each student develops a business plan based on the realistic possibility of the plan’s success. Similarly, advanced en- trepreneurship is considered the most difficult by students. The on- ly grade earned is an ‘A’ or an ‘F.’ Each student must devise a plan for a business he or she could start in Indiana. The business can be any thing from an elegant French restaurant to a bait-and-tackle shop. They work on developing the plan covering all aspects from finding a location and financing to the minute details of business operation. At the end of the quarter the student presents a finished proposal to a board com- prised of an accountant, a banker in charge of small business loans, a venture capitalist, a lawyer, and Taste the test of business success a successful entrepreneur. The board listens to the student's 10-minute presentation of the pro- posal, then questions the student on the project. If the board agrees the plan is feasible, the student receives an ‘A’. If the proposal is not practical and would not receive financing or support from a bank, the student receives an ‘F’ in the course. If the grading system seems harsh, one must remember the business world is equally demanding--a business either suc- ceeds or fails. Kuratko said, “They are going to be very successful. I was fortunate to have those students.” Kuratko is anticipating approx- imately 35 students attempting the sequence in the 1985-86 school, nearly doubling the department's enrollment from its first year. Not only is Ball State one of a scant five universities with this curriculum--making the College of Business a pioneer in business management education--it is the sole business school in Indiana preparing students for small business ventures. Its first year in- dicates the program, although new, definitely produces successful en- trepreneurs. eby Robin Jo Mills Diana Campbell stresses a point of her business proposal.

Thousands of dollars have been awarded to educators through federal grants to help improve teacher education. Each grant deals specifically with an aspect or problem of teaching. “The people of Indiana don’t seem to understand the im- portance of a bilingual educa- tion,” Dr. Alba Rosenman, pro- fessor of bilingual-bicultural education said. Dr. Rosenman has been award- ed grants totalling nearly $600,000 for a bilingual teacher training project for Indo-Chinese students. The focus of this pro- ject is to encourage high school graduates who are speakers of Laotian, Vietnamese and English to enter the teaching profession. Few Indo-Chinese speakers enter the teaching profession; therefore, the need for bilingual speakers is great. This program is particularly suited for students who are: native speakers of Laotian or Vietnamese; pursuing a career in teaching; interested in working in a bilingual or bicultural setting, or pursuing any of the standard teaching licenses. Students with these qualifica- tions could help decrease the shortage of bilingual teachers. Another problem in teacher education is the low number of women and minorities entering the math and science teaching areas. To help solve this problem, Dr. Charles Payne, director of secondary education and multicultural education, has been selected to lead a project called EQUALS. The purpose of this grant, which totals $64,201, is to encourage women and minorities to enter the math and science fields. The project will train 225 teachers, kindergarten through 12th grade levels, with each teacher receiving a total of 30 hours of training over a period of five days. The five school districts in- volved in EQUALS are Wayne Township, Perry Township, Lawrence Township, Indianapolis Public Schools and five In- dianapolis Catholic schools, which make up one district. Each of these districts will con- tribute 45 teachers. “We're really trying to put an emphasis on the early grades,” Payne said. The main focus of EQUALS is a combination of encouraging women and minorities to enter math and science and encourag- ing them at an early age. Another aspect that educators are trying to emphasize at a young age is computer literacy. The use of computers in the school system has widely in- creased. Dr. Dale Lawver, of special education, and Weaver wrote an applicatian for Computer Literacy Level II. According to Lawver, Ball State has completed Computer Literacy Level I, which consisted of training 2,000 teachers to become aware of computers’ uses in the school systems, to learn the terminology, and to learn about computer software. The idea behind Level II is to train 800-1200 teachers on ad- vanced topics in the use of com- puters. These teachers are selected by superintendents who make up an advisory board. Each superintendent selects four or more teachers to participate. These teachers are kindergarten through 12th grade levels. The program consists of 17 teaching modules. Each is designed to help the teacher in a specific area of computer literacy. One of the focuses of Com- puter Literacy Level II is in showing teachers how computers can be used in all subject areas, not just in computer classes. After the program is com- pleted, those teachers who com- pleted the course are to com- municate with other teachers at their school and pass on the material they learned. Communication is the main key of the Funds for the Im- provement of Post Secondary Education (FIPSE) grant. The FIPSE grant, totalling $67,400, is under the direction of Dr. Don Barnes, professor of elementary education, and Dr. Harry Bell, director of secondary education middle school programs. The purpose of FIPSE is to create better communication bet- ween the public schools and ‘teacher education. Ball State will be working with the Anderson and Richmond public school systems. Summer ‘workshops are already being planned for the Anderson area. During these workshops, six to eight teachers at a time will work to improve their teaching skills as well as their interper- sonal skills. “We've had a real breakthrough in teacher educa- tion in the last 10 years,” Barnes stated. According to Barnes, teachers used to keep the final result of their lessons from the students. Now educators are trying to stress that students should know the expected outcome when the teacher first presents the lesson. Barnes also explained that many teaching strategies have changed over the years and things seem to be improving. The grants through the Teachers College are one way to keep improving teacher educa- tion. The purpose of these grants is not only to improve current teachers, but also to help Ball State students who will be future teachers. @ eby Cindy Barber Teachers Collegee l 3 7 R apelling from the Ball State Stadium and building rope bridges over the Duck Pond, Rot- cies, as they’re often called, are more than just military men, and more than just students. “People in the military are just like everybody else-we have emo- tions. We are committed and have an obligation to protect the citizens of the United States,” said Ernie Ruble, New Point sophomore and Ball State Cadet. Offering the opportunity for one to be all they can be, the Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) pro- gram has rapidly expanded since arriving on campus five years ago. ROTC is a branch of the U.S. Army which offers students a chance to attend college while still receiving military training and financial aid. These students are more than just play soldiers or overgrown G.I. Joe warriors; they are serious about their military commitments and have passed extensive testing to be admitted into the program. “ROTC is one of four ways the Army goes about getting its of- ficers,” Captain Roger Freites of the Ball State ROTC program com- mented. “About 70 percent of the officers in the Army, Reserves and National Guard are products of the 138.-Ror1c Student soldiers ROTC programs which are offered nationwide.” Ball State is one of more than 300 universities across the nation which offer this type of military instruction. For some students the program begins a long career of military service, while others are just using the program as a stepping-stone to the civilian job market. Dave Shepherd, Gas City junior, found the program very enticing despite the fact he is planning a civilian career. “I don’t plan on staying in the Army forever, but it is offering me practical experience and a degree that is paid for.” As a scholarship student, Shepherd will be indebted to the Army for an eight-year stint, four of which must be on active duty. The scholarship, however, covers all his tuition, $120 a quarter for books, plus $100 a month com- mission for serving in the ROTC program. However, this money is not just handed out, it is earned. Those students who receive scholarship money are generally committing four to eight years of their lives after college to full time service in the Army, Army Reserves, or Na- tional Guard. In addition to their post-college Capt. Kevin Kelley laughs at Megan Garrett as she establishes a grip to rappel down the side of the Football Stadium. Kelley, who has watched many siudents face this plunge, suppressed a laugh at Garrett’s attempt. The few, the willing, the brave belong to ROTC requirements, students must meet other expectations while on cam- pus. Three mornings a week the cadets meet at 6 a.m. for physical training. These mornings begin with calesthenics in squads and usually conclude with a two or three mile run. Several weekend outings offer the cadets the opportunity to simulate combat fighting as they engage in “war games” with ROTC units from other universities in the state. Other weekend outings include trips to Ft. Harrison, Camp Atter- bury and Ft. Knox. Each of these outings will offer the cadets an op- portunity to improve and polish their skills in such areas as field communications, first aid and map reading. Such commitments are not to be taken lightly. Realizing this, the ROTC department has set up a lit- tle known program to give students the opportunity to get ac- quainted with the expectations of student serviceman. This program is a “no strings at- tached” learning process and is open to anyone at the university. Students are allowed to enroll in military science classes in order to gain a greater knowledge of the With life’s necessities packed securely in bed role and knap- sack, a cadet takes instruction before the start of a maneuver. Ex- ercises were designed to promote strength and good judgment in preparation for a military career. armed forces. With the lack of commitment, however, there is also the lack of financial help. In order to be accepted in the of- ficer training program, one must be a U.S. citizen, pass an Army physical, and demonstrate leader- ship and academic ability. Such screening has helped make the ROTC program the Army’s number one training ground for of- ficers. In the last Army promotion where colonels were promoted to generals, 68 percent of those posi- tions were filled by ROTC graduates. “I feel proud to put on my uniform. I like being an American soldier,” Keith Johnson, Cloverdale junior said. “It is a give and take operation. I’m learning leadership skills which will help me in the service while getting an education.

But if there were, Ball State’s College of Architecture and Planning would most likely rank very close to the top, ac- cording to Marvin E. Roseman, ac- ting chairman of the Department of Architecture. To keep the college on top, a dramatic change occurred in the department. For the first time since it began in 1966, an all- new curriculum went into effect. According to Rosenman, the new curriculum requires fewer credit hours and provides more op- tions and electives for students. Accredited by the National Ar- chitecture Accrediting Board, the program undergoes almost cons- tant change and expansion to meet 73 performance criteria. According to Rosenman, census statistics. show that architecture is the fastest-growing profession in America when compared with engineering, law and medicine. “The number of people in the field has, in the past 20 years, in- creased by about 260 percent,” Rosenman said. He said one of the primary reasons for this increase is the growth of corporate architectural staffs. “Architecture, which was previously a profession that relied on patrons...has now reached a corporate level, and the client is no longer a patron, but a corpora- tion that might have a large ar- chitectural division.” “A lot of the major corporations L4Dearchitecture that previously hired architects now have in-house capabilities and large architectural staffs,” Rosen- man added. According to Rosenman, the department has no difficulty plac- ing its graduates at the present time. Student interns, he said, “have more offers than we can fill.” Students who wish to major in architecture must not only be ac- cepted to the university, but also be admitted to the CAP and ac- quire departmental approval to pursue the major. Those accepted must have higher SAT scores than are re- quired for general admission to the university, and beginning architec- ture majors must also rank in the top quarter of their high school classes. Those who transfer from other colleges must carry at least a 3.0 GPA. Once accepted into the program, students must maintain their GPA and pass second- and fourth-year reviews, which involve evaluations of their work up to that time. According to Rosenman, the review process helps pinpoint defects in individual students’ work. This helps the students as well as the instructors in learning that a student’s effort should be focused. Another aid for students is known as Lunchline. Lunchline provides students with telephone access and a conference calling line to outstanding architects and designers from around the world. Students can talk to these people about their ideas without having to wait for their published work to come out. The Lunchline program builds Rocky Rothrock students’ confidence and provides valuable contacts for the job search. It also allows the depart- ment to bring many more speakers’ knowledge to the students without the cost of travel for a live appearance. Lunchline is so successful it is a registered trademark of Ball State University. The department also has a strong foreign studies program for students. Operating on the philosophy that one has to see things to really understand them, students are en- couraged to participate in the foreign studies program or at least to attend class trips to Cincinnati and Chicago. Under the foreign studies program, students have traveled to London, China, Greece, Egypt, Israel and Italy. Those who can’t get away often participate in community-based projects. This program enables students to receive college credit while improving community life in Muncie and surrounding areas. Whether studying in the classroom or in a foreign country, talking on the Lunchline, or building a model for a class pro- ject, students in the College of Ar- chitecture and Planning are provid- ed with the tools to excel in their chosen field. @ eby Diane Kennedy Light entering solar panels il- luminates the interior of the Ar- chitecture Building.

SES Rocky Rothrock The College of Architecture and Planning offers students some of the finest training in the nation.

Foreign language house residents mixed touches of foreign holiday customs with American traditions. “Enrollment has been going up here where everyone else’s enroll- ment nationwide has been going down,” Gardiol commented. The foreign language department provides more than classroom in- struction. It is also active in setting aside special days for high school students and other prospective col- lege students. “The department has language weekends for high school students,” Gardiol said. “Started in 1973, this is held in the Kitselman Center, and the students live in the language for the weekend. They also go through customs. Alpha Mu Gamma, foreign language honorary, is in charge of these weekends,” she added. Gardiol said there is also a Foreign Language Day on campus, which attracts approximately 800 to 1,000 high school students each year. The attraction of the department shows in increasing enrollment over the last eight years. Enroll- ment has grown by more than 1,000 students during those eight years. “We have a strong classics department with approximately one thousand registered,” Gardiol said. “The word development courses, as well as the scientific terminology classes, are very popular with the students,” she added. The department also offers guid- ed, self-instructed courses in less commonly taught languages. These include Chinese, Japanese, Hebrew, Modern Greek, Russian and Portuguese. The department provides the text, tapes, tests and native-speaking tutors. Gardiol hopes to offer a guided, self-instructed course in the future for most of the commonly taught languages. This would allow students who cannot take tradi- tional language courses to learn the first two years on their own. With eyes to the future, the department of foreign languages prepares to implement innovative programs and courses to attract an enthusiastic student body. @ eby Anne Young — When holidays are not in season studying is the order of the day.

Water pollution was one of numerous problems ad- dressed in the 101 course. Rocky Rothrock Great outdoors Field trips entice great outdoorsmen Ee summer the department of natural resources sponsored seven trips for students, among them two highly sought-after field studies to Yellowstone National Park and a “Northwoods Trek,” focusing on the upper Great Lakes and Ontario, Canada. These two programs were an outgrowth of studies offered in the early 70s as a chance to focus on a study entirely in the state of In- diana. By the mid-70s the program had expanded to include a study of the Appalachian Mountains. As the department sought to increase the value of the studies, the depart- ment replaced the trips offered in the 1970s. “Last year was the first time we offered two field studies,” Charles Mortensen, the acting chairman of the department, explained. “We weren't sure if the department would be able to fill all the spots, but we still had to turn away a few students. Because of the interest we intend to continue to offer two field studies each summer.” Each program offers 14 students the chance to see the decisions professionals in the natural resources field encounter. “The primary goal of our pro- gram is to allow the students to ] 14.4 Natural Resources meet with and learn first-hand from resource professionals the dif- ficult job of managing natural resources,” Mortensen said. Muncie senior John Moses echoed that thought. “I learned to appreciate quite specific items you take for granted. Like a tree blow- ing. I'd never seen 10,000 trees blowing in the wind together before,” Moses said. Among such beauty students are confronted with the conflict bet- ween preserving public land and permitting businesses to profit from natural resources, Mortenson said. For example, at Tower Hill near Cadillac, Michigan, students learn- ed a great deal from a park ranger who must determine the appro- priate use of the hill. The area has attracted the interest of a developer who wants to use a portion of the wooded area as a commercial ski resort. The role of the ranger in- cludes the responsibility to decide whether recreational development is an appropriate need of the com- munity and use of the land. Natural resource managers are entrusted with determining whether a national forest will re- main completely natural, undergo partial cutting, or be subject to wholesale modification. They must learn how to conduct public forums and assume the respon- sibility for determing the com- munity’s interest in the manage- ment of the public’s natural resources, Mortensen said. Participants in the Northwoods Trek traveled nearly 2,500 miles in university vans to visit national forests, wildlife refuges and preserves in addition to a three-day wilderness canoe trip in the Boun- dary Waters between the United States and Canada. “The three days of canoeing in the the back woods of the Boun- dary Waters was the highlight of my trip,” Seymour junior Jeff Henry said. “Very few people have ever been where we went. Seeing the land and water in its virgin state was an unbelievable sight.” In these sights, Mortensen and his colleagues find the educational value of the trip. “I can talk about trees, show slides and point to it on a map, but none of that is as good as being there and smelling the fragrance of the woods as the wind carries it by,” Mortensen said of the trip to northern forests. “It is a completely different experience for most of the students.” eby Mark R.

At a Stu- dent Center Christmas party, non- traditional students celebrated the end of the quarter and made sug- gestions on classes for the com- ing year. eAndrew Johnston Nontraditional students Prove age no barrier to college education or a small number of Ball State’s older students, tradition is no barrier to the youthful classroom routine. At 47, Mary Spaw found herself in the minority when she returned to school as one of the 8.5 percent of Ball State students who are non- traditional students. In the spring of 1985 there were 1,656 students over the age of 25 attending classes at Ball State, ac- cording to a study done by non- traditional student, Vivian Conley. Statistically, about 46 percent of Ball State’s nontraditional students attend classes part-time, while the other 54 percent carry over 12 hours on their schedules. According to a study done by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), between Fall 1972 and Fall 1982 the number of students aged 25-34 returning to school rose 69.8 percent, and those aged 35 and over rose 77.4 percent. The numbers continue to rise. A February 1983 article in McCall’s magazine put the total of nontraditional students in 1981 at 21 million, two million being over the age of 50. Younger students may wonder why anyone would want to return to school later in life. 146 non-traditional Students Many return to get an education that will help them support a fami- ly; others come back simply to enrich their lives. Spaw returned to school after her husband died suddenly and she was faced with raising a fami- ly. In other words, she had no choice. “After he died, we moved to In- diana,” she said. ‘I started as a sophomore at Ball State five years ago, but | wouldn’t have come back if things had stayed the same,” she explained. Other adults return to advance their education and earn a degree that will help them on the job. Patti Countryman, 33, was already a licensed practical nurse, but “after my divorce, I wanted to become a registered nurse and get a better-paying job,” she said. Students such as Spaw and Countryman often enjoy their classes, but, in the words of one nontraditional student, “the first step’s a doozy.” Countryman’s first day was “the most terrifying thing that ever happened to me. It was even worse than my divorce.” Entering a classroom full of students 12 to 15 years younger than oneself is understandably traumatic. “My first class was the toughest,” Spaw said. “I wasn’t eAndrew Johnston nervous, just surprised.” Other, less obvious benefits come from returning to school. Besides expanding her mind, Countryman found school keeps one more alert to the world and to the concerns of younger people. “I think they should make everyone's parents return to school so they'll understand their kids better,” she stated. Although certain concerns of nontraditional students are unique to the age group, these people real- ly are not much different from their traditional peers. They still have test anxiety, pull all-nighters, and have trouble finding a parking space. But as Countryman put her view of how she differs from younger students, “Il don’t worry as much about giving the wrong answer in class or keeping up with the latest fashions. | can laugh at myself easier, and sometimes I’m pretty hilarious!” @ by Janie Tuttle | Like many students, Edgar Hun- tington works a part-time job for the university.

McFerran, like many criminal justice majors who plan careers as police officers, worked as a university cadet for the Office of Traffic, Safety and Security. Internships treat students to real-life law W ith the value of internships increasing, many departments require students to take internships before graduation. The criminal justice department, being no ex- ception, offers its students the same opportunity. A few years ago, the department did not require internships. But, Dr. James Hendricks, head of criminal justice interns, believes the internship is the most impor- tant aspect of a student’s educa- tion. Henricks said, “There is a dif- ference between the textbook and the real world....The internship gives the student a chance to in- 148 ecriminal Justice tegrate theory into practice.” The department's internship parallels those of other depart- ments. Students earn 12 hours of credit for their quarter-long endeavor and are required to work 40) hours a week. “It’s just like a job,” Hendricks said.“They do the same work as the people they work for.” The majority of interns work at police departments, parole and pro- bation agencies, and the pro- secutor’s office. Occassionally a student strays from the predictable internships. “Every now and then someone will go to the girls’ feee™ - —� school, boys’ school or the women’s reformatory,” Hendricks said. Students may also choose whether to fulfill their internship in Muncie or in their hometown. Judi North, a recent Ball State graduate, interned at the Delaware County Juvenile Probation Depart- ment. North worked with juveniles, assisted another probate officer, observed court hearings, wrote pre-sentence progress reports, and toured the boys’ and girls’ schools and the women’s reformatory. North is now employed by the Rocky Rothrock bet a Rocky Rothroc x Delaware County Adult Probation Department and considers her in- ternship “invaluable. It’s the most valuable experience you can have in your college career,” she said. An intern writes about five 10- page papers in addition to the on- the-job work. At the end of the quarter, the student also writes a paper which is usually 50 to 100 pages long and covers the whole quarter, according to Hendricks. The paper contains information on the agency’s background, goals, personnel and budget. It also tells the student’s experiences and how he or she viewed the agency, handled the stress, and worked with the staff. North said that although this sounds like a great deal of work, “It's the key to deciding if you really want to do this. It’s on-the- job training. It helped me move in- to the position (adult probation of- ficer) with ease.” Hendricks also admitted that in- terns face a difficult time. “It is a lot of work, but it gives them an opportunity to get a foot in the door.” @ eby Robin Jo Mills The communications room enables Kenneth Lopez to serve as a criminal justice intern for the Ball State police.

Te Musicans talents travel the globe A locker door slams shut, and footsteps echo down the deserted corridor. A door squeaks open, then closes quietly over its threshold as the faint notes from an oboe rise through the silence, telling a tale of the dedication of one lone musician. The description is of one musi- cian, but it could be applied to any or all of the 402 graduate and undergraduate students enrolled in the School of Music. Here they study everything from history to performance to educa- tion to theory and composition, the backbone of the art itself. The School of Music offers a number of major and minor degrees in various areas, including music education, music history, theory and composition, and specified areas of performance. According to Erwin Mueller, chairperson of applied studies in music, the majority of students in the School of Music are music education majors. However, the vast majority of education majors are also performers. And they are taught on a performance level, which Mueller said gives them the best of both worlds. Mueller stressed the students are encouraged to study a broad base of music while they are here. “We try to get our instrumentalists to become involved vocally, and our 15 0-music vocalists to become involved in- strumentally,” he said. “That's our goal, to get them involved with all the elements.” He went on to ex- plain that students are encouraged this way because they will likely have to do more than one thing (for example play several in- struments and sing) when they graduate and enter the industry. Mueller said the job outlook for music majors is generally good. He went on to say that those willing to move to acquire jobs in the in- dustry stand a better chance than those preferring to stay fairly close to home. Besides classroom instruction, students are offered a wide variety of performance opportunities. A full range of large and small per- forming ensembles, such as the Musical Arts Woodwind Quartet, DaCamera Brass Quintet, Ars Musica String Quartet, American Piano Trio, Aeolian Trio to the Chamber Choir, Wind Ensemble, Symphony Orchestra, and the Muncie Symphony Orchestra, pro- vide excellent performance op- portunities for students. Here Mueller pointed out that the relationship between the School of Music and the Muncie Symphony Orchestra allows many students the chance to perform with the MSO, making available opportunities they would probably not otherwise have. Other ensembles, such as the University Singers, Harp Ensemble, Collegium Musicum, Ensemble for New Music, Trombone Choir, Tubadours, Opera Workshop, Mar- ching Band and the Ball State Ballet, offer a wide variety of per- forming outlets to all students on campus, regardless of their majors. Students spend countless hours in practice rooms and rehearsal halls, preparing for on-campus per- formances in the acoustically superb Emens Auditorium, in University Theatre, and in the more contemporary facilities of University Hall. Performances are also held in the Art Gallery and, when the weather permits, on the Bracken Library Performing Arts Plaza. Other facilities within the School of Music designed to serve the needs of students include an elec- tronic multiple keyboard class piano room, a record library and listening lab, a theory laboratory, central taping facilities, a piano workshop, and an array of musical instruments. In addition, the Music Listening Center in Bracken Library offers individualized programmed in- struction in the aural and visual perception of music. The Elec- tronic Systems for Music Synthesis Center operates as an inter- ¢Scott Lightfoot disciplinary studio complex which supports education and research in performance, pedagogy, and elec- tronic, electroacoustic, and in- termedia compositon. This school year brought a number of changes and events. The University Singers acquired a new director, Frederick A. Mount- ford. Under his direction, the group went more toward a jazz choir performance style, away from its previous swing choir style. The American Piano Trio went on an oriental tour. The trio con- sisted of Mitchell Andrews, Neil Weintrob and Roger Malitz, all members of the artist faculty of the School of Music. According to Mueller, one of the best brass quintets in the nation, Empire Brass, appeared on campus and hosted several workshops for interested students. So from guest performances to classroom instruction to per- formance opportunities, the School of Music offers a wide variety of learning experiences to its students, no matter what areas of music they are most interested in. “As long as you're in the art, that’s the important thing,” Mueller said. @ eby Diane Kennedy Intent on his work, Patrick Duff rehearses on the string bass.

The team spent a considerable amount of time on stick work because Fitzpatrick felt the stick work “was very beneficial.” The team did not scrimmage in practices because there were not enough players to make up two full teams. Fitzpatrick also felt that Assistant Coach Eddie Patton helped con- siderably. “Patton did an excellent job at pushing our defense. Because of the defense we did things I never expected,” she add- ed. Along with the team as a whole, several individuals also received numerous honors. Karen Burkholder, Ephrata, Pa. senior, and Kelly Dawson, Louisville, Ky. sophomore, were both named to the College Field Hockey Coaches’ Association Pen Monto All- Regional Team.

No major weakpoints developed in the 1985 team. The only thing that hurt the team was the “lack of intensity in some games because of inexperience,” Fitzpatrick said. “We need to get consistency in that area next year.” “] think the thing that is exciting though, is that the freshm en will get better and become stronger players,” Fitzpatrick commented.

Opening the season at home, the Cardinals carried with them a sense of pride and optimism. With temperatures hovering close to 100 degrees the Cardinals were quickly reminded of the heat which sur- rounded the team when they fell short in the win-loss column. Up against Bowling Green, the Cardinals were quickly overcome and defeated 31-6 in front of more than 10,000 home fans.

Venturing to Ohio, the Cardinals had their biggest offensive output of the season by racking up 36 points to defeat their host 36-23. The victory pushed the Cardinals to .500 on the season and 3-2 in the Mid-American Conference.

Having fallen behind 27-26, the Cardinals drove the length of the field to set up the winning field goal. Watching the ball sail 42 yards through the uprights, Diet- trich etched his name in the record books with his fifth suc- cessful field goal of the day. “Indiana State was probably the greatest game we had during the year. We won it and lost it, won it and lost, and then finally won it,” Schudel explained. “Diettrich was excellent. His ability to kick the ball...well let me just say he’s the best I’ve ever had.” For Diettrich the record five field goals was just one of many honors the place kicker earned.

Although the ferocity of the terms lost some in the face of the Cardinals’ losing season, the 13-14 overall record with 7-11 in the Mid-American Conference, improved the 1984 record of 9-19. Jerre McManama, in his third season as head coach, was un- surprised at the season’s sixth- place finish in the MAC. “It went about as we felt it would; we had a pretty young team,” he said. “Eight of 12 (players) were sophomores or under. We felt the first part of the season would be the worst, and it was, but the se- cond half was better. We won 11 out of our last 17 games. “Statistically, all the women im- proved quite a bit,” McManama said. A number of fine individual performances reflected those im- provements. Four players--senior Stacy Jor- dan, Parker City, sophomores Karen Gladish, Greenwood, and Arzu Calis, Istanbul, Turkey, and junior Leesa Gross, Decatur--were honored as Ball State’s female athlete of the week in Pizza Hut’s competition. Jordan, also the team co-captain, EY SENN I was honored for leading the squad in digs and service aces. She car- ried this leading position through to the end of the season, which she completed with 36 service aces and 331 digs. Also, Jordan received honorable mention on the Academic All- MAC Conference Women’s Volleyball Team. Teammate Sharon Strayer named Jordan as a key member of the team, saying, “She always seemed real ag- gressive. She’s just a tough player.” Another asset to the Cardinals was Assistant Coach Mike Lingenfelter. A former Cardinal volleyball player, Lingenfelter returned to the campus for his first assistant coaching position after graduating from the University of Cincinnati in 1985. Gladish praised Lingenfelter for his contributions to the team. “He really knows what he’s doing when it comes to volleyball,” Gladish said. “He knows how to work on our attitude and our physical condition, ” Other players turning in top per- formances were Gladish, leading in kills and attack percentage for the season; Strayer, heading the team in blocks (solo and assists combin- ed), and Janelle Lorenz, taking the lead in assists. @ eStacy Jordan and Karen Gladish battle at the net against Bowling Green.

While the season was disappointing in the win-loss col- umn of dual meets, the team finished higher in invitationals and the Mid-American Conference championship than in 1 984. Coach Joe Rogers, in his first year as head coach, was pleased with the team’s effort. “I feel good about the season and the progress we made,” Rogers said. “We were beaten by schools last year that we beat this year.” Before the season started, Rogers said his primary goal was to raise the team’s last place standing in the MAC. Rogers said the team wouldn't be a challenge for the conference championship, but he believed the team could improve enough to get out of the cellar.” The team was led by co-captains Dave Valentine, Valparaiso senior, and Dan Mulvihill, Portage sophomore. Also heading the group was Hartford City sophomore Ron Sharp, who led the team in finishes and was voted most valuable member. The coach and runners agreed that the team was short on talent, but heavy on enthusiasm and dedication. Hard work and devotion helped the team finish 1-3 for dual meets on the year, and the team’s record was greatly improved in invita- tionals. The runners finished sixth and ninth respectively in the Indiana Intercollegiate and the Notre Dame Invitational, where 24 teams com- peted. Rogers achieved his goal of get- ting “out of the cellar” with a seventh-place finish in the MAC. The team’s improvement was because the “attitude was better as a whole team,” Lafayette senior Mike Sackett said. “He (Rogers) knew we wouldn't do well, but he kept the attitude up,” Sackett said. “He understood we didn’t have a lot of talent, but he worked to get the most from us. Speedway sophomore Brian Ker- by also noted the lack of ex- perience on the team, but believed the team had a good season overall. “The schools we ran against were in the top 20,” Kerby said, adding. “It gave us more ex- perience against good runners.” @ | Fa® 3 Take 2% a; he Todd A.

These personal records are more of an indication of the women’s per- formances. All seven runners who competed last year returned this season. Wagner felt the experience and leadership these women gave the team was very helpful. Wagner also felt the best thing to happen this season was the per- sonal improvements of senior Se ea NaS ao Pe Denise Stearns, Indianapolis, and Sco tt. “This was the first year for senior Ellen Barnes, Angola, to run with us,” Wagner said. “She added a team unity and was helpful on motivation.” “All the women were very close during the season,” Wagner said. “The women are very similar peo- ple and have mutual respect for each other.” Another good thing to happen to the team was the addition of Harger as the assistant coach.

The sport demanded pure strength and concentration form the players. eMarc d. Pesetsky ‘Working together for a common goal’ by Scott Uptgrafte A bunch of men run around the field in every direction. They toss a white ball (rounder than a football and resembling a small medicine ball) to each other trying to knock down the guy who has it. This is a rough description of rugby. Even for those who understand football inside and out, viewing a rugby match can be confusing, if not dazing. Rugby combines both soccer and football. As in soccer, play is continuous (40-minute halves). No huddles, time outs or substitutions are given the 15-man squad, except in case of in- juries. It is a game of endurance. Like football, rugby is a game of intense physical contact. Players stop the man with the ball by tackling him, but blocking is prohibited. Points are scored by Bas ec a Bae a Brad Sauter running the ball into the end zone or by kicking it through the uprights. On first impression, the moving of the ball downfield looks like the option play in football, but instead, all 15 men are potential ball carriers. A varsity rugby team does not exist but a rugby club does. The self-supporting club has 35 members. Club president Craig Lyon, a Carmel senior, said, “We have 35 members so far, but in the spring we will try to get more. | think interest is picking up. The club plays colleges around the Midwest and local Muncie teams (rugby is not an NCAA sport). “When we play other clubs, we have a varsity and reserve match, which we call A side and B side,” Lyon said. “Most of the freshmen play B side because they are less experienced. You don’t have to know how to play rugby when you join. Anyone can play. There are no cuts. That's what B side is for.” Craig’s brother Eric, a freshman, is in his first year with the club. “I got interested by watching my brother,” he said. Ac- cording to him, the toughest aspect of the sport is mental, not physical. ‘The most frustrating thing was at first when | couldn't catch on. After a while it’s more fun because you don’t always have to hesitate and think about what’s going on. You can play by instinct.” Craig said, “I think it takes a player at least one full game to really understand the rules and strategies.” Watching rugby, some things become evident. For instance, not everyone on the field is extremely large. Speed and agility are as valuable as size and strength. Rugby is a team sport in the truest sense of the word. It is impossible to stand out as an individual or to “do it all” on your own. Unlike its American counterpart, football, the action in rugby never stops. “Rugby is always exciting,” Craig Lyon said. “There are no time-outs or ways of killing the clock. There is no way for the leading team to stall. Therefore, there is no such thing as a safe lead in Rugby.” This year the play has been exciting enough to draw 100, sometimes even 200 people to a match. Much of the attendance can be attributed to the club’s success. In 1984 the club went 15-4 during its fall and spring seasons and reached the final four of the Midwest Rugby Football Union tournament, which Ball State hosted. “Of the teams in the Indiana area, we are the one to beat,” Craig Lyon said. “As far as the conferences go, the MAC schools are the best in the area. The Big 10 schools take pride in their rugby but are not as good as the schools in the MAC.” Craig said the sport fosters a comaraderie among the players. “| like the traveling also,” he said. “We don’t have a coach, so it’s just a bunch of guys working together for a common goal. It’s a good chance to develop some great friendships.” @ Sports Magazine | 69 ports Mag | el SoccereEquestrianseDuncan Brains are part of game for Duncan cond on the Ball State squad and tied for sixth in the MAC in receiving, catching 44 passes for 518 yards and four touchdowns.

Smithe Compiling an undefeated 6-0-2 record against teams such as Earlham, Anderson, Franklin and Tri-State, the soccer club found a success that often eluded sanctioned varsity sports. Unfortunately, the team’s success was just for kicks. Since the university dropped soccer as a varsity sport, the team has, nonetheless, demonstrated its self-reliance and ability. Practices were run by students and transportation to away games was provided by team members. In addition, the team continued to schedule opponents who are sanctioned varsity teams at their schools. In the fall, 40 students tried out for the team and the squad was cut to 16. The students who remained made their seriousness for the sport apparent. Success, in their terms, was only synonymous with victory. The team’s seriousness brought daily practices and financial burdens. Without university sponsorship, each athlete had to purchase his own equipment and help pay for transportation and referee costs at home games. “The main goal of our season was to be as professional as we could and show the university we are serious, so when they start looking to add varsity sports we will be high on the list,” Eric Farnsworth, Kingston, Washington sophomore and co- president of the soccer club, said. “We have built a strong foun- dation in the dedication we have from our members. We scheduled teams we could be competitive with in the hope we could get some recognition from the university.” Starting the season against Earlham, the team battled to a 1-1 tie before setting off on a course that outscored their opponents 1 TO espors Magazine 18-2 on the way to a five-game winning streak. They finished the season by tying Anderson 2-2 and then defeated Vincennes University 2-0. The final match against Vincennes brought two undefeated teams to the field and, according to Farnsworth, gave In- dianapolis sophomore Wes Young his time at center stage. With the score tied at zero midway through the second half, Young found himself wide open on the right wing and able to punch the ball by the goalie. With Young’s goal, every member of the 1985 soccer team, except goalie Sivilay Phonephreseuth, scored for the Cardinals. And while Phonephreseuth didn’t score, he was the backbone of a defense which allowed only five goals in eight matches. Having previously played for San Francisco University, “Phon,” as his teammates called him, kept the defense together.” “Phon did an excellent job in goal for us all season,” Farn- sworth said. “He probably would have been our MVP if we . chose one.” While several individuals had outstanding seasons, the suc- cess of the club was a complete team effort both on and off the field. What the players lacked in coaching they made up in heart. “We have a lot of raw talent but it’s not refined,” Farn- sworth explained. “We're real excited about next year, though. Ya’akov Eden, the last person to coach soccer when it was sanctioned, has agreed to come out and oversee practices as a volunteer coach.” Completing an undefeated season on their own, the addition of a coach to refine the players may bring the team one step closer to being reinstated as a varsity sport. Meanwhile, it appears next season the team will still be play- ing just for kicks. @ For the love eby Diane Kennedye For some athletes, when the game is over, it’s over. For equestrians, the respon- sibilities of horsemanship don’t end with the judges’ scores. Through the ages, many people have held a certain fascination and love for horses. The 30-plus members of the 1985-86 Ball State Equestrian Team, coached by Mindy McMinn, were no exception. With majors ranging from graphic arts to political science to ar- chaeology, these students were brought together by a common bond: their love for the horse and their desire to compete. But in order to compete, they first had to practice. And practice. Sessions were held after- noons and evenings, Mon- day through Friday, at Hart- meyer Stables. At about 7:30 p.m., team members began tacking up for their training session. Horses, cross-tied in the aisles, watched intently as their riders gathered brushes, hoof picks, blankets, saddles, bridles, and other riding parapher- nalia. One by one the stalls and aisles emptied, and the arena became the center of focus. The radio whispered Top 40s in the background as the riders began circling the ring, warming up. At 8 o'clock Tracy Davis, presi- dent of the team, perched on one of the jumps and began calling out instruc- tions to her teammates. “Thumbs up, heels down,” she reminded them. “Sit up straight, but don’t arch your back. Lookin’ good. Heels down, not toes.” “My arms feel like putty,” remarked one rider after 45 minutes of work. “He feels so awkward,” stated another team member, referring to her Diane Kennedy horse’s choppy canter on the left-hand lead. “He doesn’t like that lead, either,” answered Davis. “It's awkward for him. He'd rather take the right one, too.” Then, “Shorten your reins, Cathy. Sit up and slow him down. That's it. That’s it.” The teacher possessed endless patience, and the determination and dedica- tion of the riders showed on their faces as they labored to perfect their riding skills. That dedication apparently worked for the team, which, as of late February, held a small lead in Region Eight. “Purdue is biting at our heels,” Davis stated and went on to explain that Region Eight includes col- leges and universities in I]- linois, Indiana, lowa, Michigan and Ohio. According to Davis, the best team in each region represents its region at the National Finals. From that regional championship team, the coach chooses the best riders to form the Car- tier Cup Team, which represents the region at na- tionals. In addition to the team championship, there are in- dividual championships for riders who qualify by plac- ing first at the regionals. Davis went on to explain that riders are placed in dif- ferent skill level divisions. They are judged on their riding execution in Stock Seat (Western) and Hunt Kim Sonneborn removes the leg guards from her horse. Equestrians not only care for themselves but also for their mount. of horses Seat (English) Equitation, and they must qualify to jump. “It's designed to be objec- tive,” she stated, referring to the judging. “A good judge won't judge the horse, only the rider. Unfortunately, we don’t always get good judges.” Davis said that at a meet, riders who qualify to jump draw the name of another school’s horse from an envelope. They find their mounts and are allowed to adjust the stirrups. They are not allowed to ride around or practice before entering the ring. Once inside the arena, they are allowed a warm-up circle and one free jump. “You don’t know what kind of stride you can ask the horse for,” Davis stated. “So you basically have to let him go, and you wing it. One time I rode in a saddle that had nails sticking out of it.” According to Davis, “A lot of credit has to go to Mindy. She came here three years ago, took a bunch of backyard riders, and took us to the Nationals last year.” (The 1984-85 team placed second at the Nationals, five points behind first place Southern Sem.) “Okay, walk ’em down,” Davis instructed. The riders brought their mounts to the center of the arena to unsad- dle them. Steam rose from the horses’ backs as their riders walked them around the arena to cool them off. For the equestrian team, when the horses are bedded down in their stalls or put out to pasture for the night, the day is finally done. @ Sports Magazinee I i 1 ports Mag Intramurals®Lacrosse ClubeHall of Fame eby Charmaine Balsleye Running sports activities for everyone, is the job of the Intramurals Director Jack Kovell, who said the purpose of the program is to give students a chance to participate. Kovell has 55 different activities for students to par- ticipate in. Any student who is enrolled in at least four quarter hours may compete in intramurals. Between autumn and spring over 10,000 students took part in the intramurals program according to Kovell. Depending, upon the event, students may enter the competition as individuals, or in all male, all female or co-ed groups. Intramurals offer events from the traditional sports such as flag football, volleyball and basketball, to the not so traditional ones of judo, archery, badminton, splashketball and ultimate frizbee. Teams like Legend, Revenge, Bud Boomers, Bomb Squad, Grim Reapers and The Supreme Court competed in intramurals, overcoming rules that could defeat the most determined athletes. Intramural rules prohibit athletes who play on a varsity team from playing on the same intramural team and in- tramural teams have only two games in which to finalize their playing roster. As a result, if a player must be substituted due to injury, the substitute may not have played on another team. In addition, no more than two varsity letter winners, whether they be from Ball State or from a former college, may compete on any team. These rules help to ensure that everyone has a fair chance. The type of student who participates in intramurals varies greatly. Even though some sports are dominated by certain groups, for instance, fraternities typically dominate soccer and independents typically dominate basketball, it all evens out in the end, according to Kovell.

Dick Falls, Bob Heady, Frank Houk, Morry Man- nies, Ben Stout and Gabe Takats are the newest members of the hall of fame. Falls lettered in golf for Ball State from 1970 to 1972 and led the Cardinals to a 14th place tie in the NCAA championships as a senior. Heady was a two-year monogram winner in both baseball and basketball for Ball State in 1962 and 1963. Houk was a three-year starter in both football and baseball for the Cardinals from 1964 to 1967. He quarterbacked the 1965 foot- ball team to a perfect 9-0 regular season record. Mannies has been the “Voice of the Cardinals” for 30 years, having broadcast more than 1,000 Ball State football and basketball games over Muncie radio station, WLBC. Stout was a three-time let- terman in track and field at Ball State from 1934 to 1936, earning All-America honors in the 400-meter hurdles. He finished fifth in the 400-meter hurdles at the NCAA championships as a senior. Stout helped organize the BSU Letter- man’s Club, assisted in the writing of its constitution, and was the club’s first president. Takas, a three-year regular on both Ball State’s football and baseball teams from 1937 to 1940, earned all- conference honors as a guard on the gridiron as a senior. He was named to the Indiana Football Hall of Fame in 1977 and has serv- ed on that organization’s Board of Directors since 1979.@ Another perfect season Insuring the tradition of excellence expected of Ball State’s women’s field sports, the Women’s Lacrosse Club continued an unbelievable winning streak through another undefeated season.

Andrew Johnston Sports Magazinee ] 73 ports Mag Howard®Kosco®Plum ® Hernandez eby Vince Welche Tom Howard w as so rotund as an infant that friends of the family said he looked like a Sherman Tank. The nickname “Tank” stayed with him, but the pounds did not. Ironically, Howard, the 11th player selected in the first round of the professional baseball draft, was recruited to Ball State on a football scholarship, where some of his weight was put to good use as a linebacker. But, after playing two seasons and lettering as a sophomore on the football team, Howard quit football to concentrate on baseball. The records that followed him proved he had made the right decision. Thomas “Tank” Howard, the All-American outfielder from Germantown, Ohio hit a league record .448, with 23 home runs and 67 RBIs. The home run total as well as his 94 hits and 188 total bases are new MAC records. Howard also established a new MAC mark with 43 home runs in his three year career at Ball State. He stroked the most hits in a game ever by a Cardinal, as well. Against Chicago State, Howard went six-for-six, including 2 home runs, 2 singles, one double, and one triple. Add that to 2 stolen bases, In 13th round Mariners choose Kosco The 13th round of the ma- jor league baseball draft brought good news to Poland, Ohio, junior Dru Kosco as he was selected by the Seattle Mariners on June 3. The left-handed-hitting Kosco was named Rookie of the Year for the Cardinals this year after batting .343 with 15 home runs and 54 RBIs. He was also a second- team All-MAC choice and tied for third in the league in doubles with 15, and tied for sixth in runs scored with 54. Kosco, who played two years at Florida State before transferring, is the son of Andy Kosco, who played for six teams during a 10-year major league career. @ eDru Kosco is con- gratulated by his team- mates after hitting a cru- tial home run in one of the many Cardinal vic- tories. Kosco, who hit eight home runs for the season, was drafted by the Seattle Mariners. ] TA sports Magazine ank’ goes pro | A realization of a childhood dream A realization of a childhood dream four RBIs and five runs scored and you've got about as com- plete a game as one could ask for from a player at any level of competition. After posting those records this season, it was no surprise that he was selected by the league’s coaches as the MAC Player of the Year. With that honor, he was one of four players to be unanimously selected to the 1986 All-MAC First Team, and one of three players to repeat from the 1985 all league squad. While Howard proved he had made the right decision, he still faced disappointment. The Cards finished 34-25-1 overall, and 17-15 in the MAC, not exactly the way Howard envisioned ending his collegiate career. “I wanted to win the MAC above anything else, and | think we had one of the most exciting offensive teams around, but I think we just tried toohard at fi rst,” he said. “We just weren't as relaxed as we should have been.” But, players like Howard are a coach’s dream. Filled with talent, desire and the right attitude, Tank could make any coach smile. Coach Pat Quinn had the opportunity to watch Howard develop both as a player and a person. “He's the best ever at this institution. Probably the best that will ever play here,” 5 He attended the convention Quinn said. “But, it's more than just athletic ability. He’s an outstanding person too, and that says a lot about him and his upbringing.” Nevertheless, on his road to the big leagues, Thomas Howard the “person” does not forsee any drastic changes. “| just want to go out and be myself,” he said. “I don’t want to change anything. | just want to play ball.” Howard does not know what the future holds for him, but the view is definitely promising. His baseball talents have already begun to fulfill his dreams. “Ever since | was little | always dreamed of being a first round pick,” he said. The San Diego Padres made his dream a reality when the Na- tional League club chose him with the 11th pick in the first round of the major league draft. Since he is skipping his senior year at Ball State, Howard will not finish his degree. But he has promised to finish his college education, a decision which undoubtedly pleases his family. “It's mostly for my mom and grandmother,” he said. “They all want me to finish up. I want to finish too. I've put in three years and | don’t want to waste that.” Furthermore, while Howard is away from the many friends he made on campus, those friends aren’t forgotten. “Ball State has been real good to me and | like it a lot,” Howard said. “I’m sad to go, but I’ve got to move on.” Whether on television or in person, it won't be long until we see our No. 21 step into a big league batter’s box and unleash his weight at bat on a new opponent. @ eTom Howard awaits his turn at bat from the Cardinal dugout.

Under first-year coach Marsha Reall, many fans hoped for an im- proved team, but no one expected the Cardinals’ overall 13-14 record and a .900 finish in MAC play. The team appeared to be much improved when opening its season, but the Cardinals never- theless lost four of their first six contests. Over Christmas vacation, however, Ball State participated in the eight-team La Salle University Invitational in Philadelphia, and things began looking up for the Cardinals. Although Ball State fell to La Salle in first-round action, the Cardinals returned to defeat Connecticut and New Hampshire to take fifth-place honors. The team’s tournament play not only turned the Cardinals in the direction of success, but the higher level of competition played a key role in building confidence. “We saw a lot of good competi- tion out there and were exposed to new styles of the game,” Reall said. ‘We played excellent against Connecticut for the full 40 minutes and found out that we can play well against some really competitive teams.” a overall mark when it began con- ference play at home against Eastern Michigan. The Cardinals won their first four MAC games, a Ball State record, and surprised everyone by taking lone possession of first place in the MAC stan- dings. The four-game winning streak was snapped when a lack of con- sistency caused the Cardinals to lose nine of their next 12 MAC contests. The team went 7-9 in conference play and ended in a fifth-place tie. Ball State bounced back, however, to end its season on a high note. The Cardinals defeated Bowling Green to move into a tie for fourth place, and in the final game the Cardinals defeated the Hurons of Eastern Michigan 74-72. After shattering Eastern’s hopes for a tournament berth, Ball State had to wait and see if it would be eligible for tourney play. The Car- dinals could get a tournament berth only if Central defeated fifth- place Western the following day. Unfortunately, Western defeated Central 73-65 and Ball State’s tour- nament hopes disappeared. Ohio led the regular season con- ference standings at 16-2, followed by Central and Bowling Green tied for second at 13-5. Ball State and Western tied for fourth at 9-9, but because Western had previously beaten first-place Ohio, the Bron- cos advanced to the tournament. Throughout the season, the Car- dinals relied on solid team per- formances to win the majority of their games. Strong shooting and Thus, Ball State owned a 4-5 passing and aggressive defense were the most positive characteristics of the Ball State squad as a whole, but five starters and three top reserve players played key roles in the Cardinals’ success. Junior forward Emma Jones pro- ved to be a consistent Cardinal scoring threat throughout the season. Jones averaged 20.3 points and 9.7 rebounds per game for the Cardinals. In addition to leading the team, Jones also gained several honors throughout the year. She earned MAC women’s basketball Player of the Week Dec. 20, and after an outstanding performance at La Salle, Jones was named to the All- Tournament Team. She set a new Ball State single-season scoring record against Bowling Green Jan. 29, with 547 points for the season, passing Karen Bauer's record of 369 points set in the 1982-83 season. Perhaps Jones’ most memorable game took place at Miami Feb. 15, when she became the career leading rebounder in Ball State women’s basketball history. Jones also became just the third woman in Cardinal history to score 1,000 career points. “T’m excited and proud of myself,” Jones said of the ac- complishments. “Our style of play makes it easier for me to score and play well inside.” Senior foward Janice Bierly was the Cardinals’ most consistent player this season, as she averaged 11.5 points and 4.8 rebounds a continued SERED EENEES Oa cme eAndrew Johnston eAndrew Johnston eGuard Brenda Summers keeps her eye on the ball in hopes of a steal.

Bierly stepped into the star- ting spot when junior forward Haley Cecil’s ankle injury took her out of action two games into the season. Bierly recorded a career high 26 points in the win over Bowling Green. Reall regarded Birerly as “a very steady player. She is a consis- tent player for us, and when you tell her what you want done she goes out and does it to the best of her ability.” Senior guard Anita Miller, co- captain with Bierly, was the team leader this season, averaging 10.8 points and handing out almost five assists a game. Miller had to sit out three games in the middle of the season due to a wrist fracture suffered during the Western Michigan game. Reall referred to Miller as ‘‘a good ball handler against the full-court press, so we really missed her ball move- ment most of all. She really push- ed it up the floor.” Senior guard Brenda Summers’ aggressive defense was a welcome contribution to the Cardinals. Reall was impressed with Summers’ ability to go head-to-head with her offensive counterparts. Along with her defense, Summers averaged 7.6 points and handed out 3.9 assists a game. Senior center Julie Ericksen earned a starting spot for the Car- dinals going into the game against Miami of Ohio. Ericksen averaged 4.2 points and 3.9 rebounds, while her career-high was 14 points in the loss to Western Michigan. Freshman reserve center Shari Mitchell was a strong addition to the Cardinal squad’s inside game Andrew Johnston this season. Mitchell substituted for Ericksen and contributed 4.8 points and 2.8 boards a game. Her high game was 13 points against Miami of Ohio. Sophomore reserve guard Kathy Pack’s overall game was an asset to the Cardinals. Pack replaced Miller when she was out with the wrist injury, as she scored a career-high 13 points. Pack averaged four points for the Cardinals, but Reall saw passing as Pack’s best strength because “Kathy finds the open person and makes smart, effective passes. Her half court passing is definitely her best attribute.” Junior reserve forward Haley Cecil was slowed with an ankle in- jury early in the season but came on strong toward the end of con- ference play. Cecil averaged 4.9 points and four rebounds for the Cardinals, including a career-high 16 points against Western Michigan. Two Cardinals received post- season honors; Jones was named to the All-MAC first team, while Miller was chosen all-conference honorable mention. Both players were also named to the honorable mention MAC All-Academic team. Although the Cardinals ex- perienced many successes this season, to Reall, “One of the great things was that we finished in fourth place, five places higher than what we were picked to finish in the pre-season poll.” Ericksen could often be heard repeating one word throughout the season, which happens to describe Ball State’s season perfectly: “unbelievable.” @ eEmma Jones tosses a pass bya Toledo defender as the Cardinals tackled Toledo at Ohio.

His jaws tighten and ten- sion bounces off the tiled walls and mirror-like water until the swimmer dives, breaking the mir- ror and sending water splashing. Surging forward through the blue pool, the swimmer exhausts every muscle he’s trained for months to develop. He knows the work has paid off as he approaches the end of his last lap. And as he goes through everyday life, he ap- preciates the discipline swimming competitively has taught him. “You feel healthy. Swimming makes you feel good about yourself,” Jim Athey, a captain of the Ball State men’s swim team, said. Swimming competitively has taught him discipline, he said, “You feel you've achieved something, not only in swimming, but in other things too.” Athey has been swimming com- petitively since he was eight years old and has made swimming at Ball State an important part of his college years. Even making the team is an accomplishment. Ac- cording to Athey, the tryouts at the beginning of the year are tough. “We participate in conditioning exercises at first, like running and lifting weights,” he explained. Potential team members then begin swimming. “We build up the yardage at each tryout, and if 7 ae e deve you don’t have good times or en- durance, you're cut.” Having survived tryouts, the swimmers must practice--a lot. Practice is run twice a day with a session from 6 to 7 a.m. and another from 3 to 6 p.m. Athey explained that practices involve lif- ting weights and swimming an average of 6,000 yards each day. So much practice affects a swim- mer’s life in many ways. “You learn to set your priorities,” Athey said, adding, “Grades come first, then swimming. You have little social life because you're either at the library or at the pool.” Despite a rigorous schedule, the team members become close friends and spend time together outside of practices and meets. About their competition Athey summed up the situation when he said, “Our biggest rival is Miami University. We always have our closest meets with them, and it always comes down to the last relay--down to the wire--before there’s a clear winner.” The swim team has about eleven meets a year. This season there were nine dual meets and two relay meets which included the Mini-MAC and the conference MAC meet. This year’s record was 4-7, and the team finished with a MAC champion in two events. Athey set two records himself in the 50 and 100 yard freestyle events, as well as being on all three record-breaking relay teams. Swimming so well at meets in- volves more than just practice. Ac- cording to Athey, some swimmers are so dedicated they shave their heads and bodies before certain meets. “We do it before we taper or before the conference meets,” he said. He explained that shaving not only reduces friction, but has men- tal effects on the swimmers as well. “It removes the hair plus a layer of skin, so the feeling we get when we jump into the pool after shaving has an effect on how we feel mentally,” he said. As far as his own pre-meet rituals are concerned, Athey said he likes to be alone before each meet to psych up. And the team sometimes gets together for a cheer before meets as well. The men’s swim coach, Bob Thomas, is respected by his swim- mers. According to Athey, “He’s a good guy. He knows every aspect of swimming you’d ever need to know.” Thomas swam at Eastern Illinois University before coming to Ball State to coach. The outlook for any team depends largely on the caliber of the returning team members. In the case of the swim team, the outlook for next season is good. Athey said the team will include a returning MAC champ and many other talented swimmers. Athey’s own swimming career will have to take a rest for a while. There will be no more waiting in anticipation for the gun blast, no more early-morning practices, and no more exhausted muscles. “I’m glad it’s over,’the senior said. “I want to concentrate on other things now.” @ eMarc d.

Pesetsky Freshme individual medley (2:14.88), and eby Joe Hernandeze The 1985-86 winter was filled with success for the women’s swimming team. In her seventh season here, Head Coach Laura Seibold-Caudill, with assistants Jay Ett! and Myra Middlesworth, put together a team that broke 11 school records. Eight of those records were broken by an outstan- ding freshman class. “| was extremely pleased with the year as far as our individual performances,” Seibold-Caudill said. ‘We didn't do as well as would have liked in the MAC championships, but the team did an excellent job throughout the season.” The Cardinals finished sixth in a field of seven teams at the MAC Championships and completed the regular season with an 8-6 record in dual-meet competition. The female swimmers competed in the Tom Stubbs Relavs and finished an impressive second out of nine teams. Leading the list of newcomers this season was freshman Kelley Keating, of Chesterton, who was the high point scorer for the Car- dinals. Keating set five individual school records and was a member of the record-setting 400-yard freestyle relay team, while recor- ding 21 personal firsts, nine seconds and four thirds. Keating set school marks in the 500-yard freestyle (5:10.24), 1,000- yard freestyle (10:46.58), 1,650- yard freestyle (17:59.31), 200-yard 400-yard individual medley (4:43.2), and she helped set the team record for the 400-yard freestyle relay (3:36.10). “She is one of the best distance swimmers that I have ever coach- ed,” Seibold-Caudill said. “She is a good swimmer because of natural ability and a lot of extra hard work that she puts in. She put in more hours of training than anybody else, and she had the year to show for it.” Angie Pearson, Marion freshman, recorded 19 first-place finishes and six seconds, primarily in the short-distant races. Pearson was undefeated in the 50-yard freestyle after 10 meets before finally being defeated at Kent State by Ohio University. Pearson, who was second on the team in points scored, had the squad’s best time in the 50-yard freestyle (:24.79) and 100-yard freestyle (:54.26) and the second- best time in the 100-yard breaststroke (1:10.72). “Angie was a joy to coach throughout the season,” Seibold- Caudill said. “I recruited her knowing that she could definitely help the team in her four years here, but it was a surprise for her to do so well in her first season. She was very valuable to our team this season and with practice will become an even better and faster swimmer.” Three other freshmen had outstanding seasons for the Car- dinals. Laura Parkinson, Evansville, Cathy Somenzi, O | bos s Se : 4 SEES Munster, and Stacy Howard, Plain- field, were all major contributors to the record-breaking season. Parkinson was the team’s top competitor in the 100- and 200- yard backstroke, where she set school records of 1:01.29 and 2:11.32, respectively. Parkinson also recorded second-place finishes in the 100- and 200-yard backstroke at the MAC champion- ships. Somenzi registered seven firsts and 10 seconds while leading the Cardinals in the 200-yard breaststroke. Somenzi set a new school standard in the 200-yard breaststroke with a time of 2:33.178. Howard had nine firsts and 13 seconds and was a member of 12 first-place relay teams. In the diving competition, Susan Allen was the squad’s high-point diver with 13 first-place finishes, 12 seconds and three thirds. Allen finished fourth in the three-meter diving at the MAC with a score of 414.35. The female swimmers were strengthened by seniors Chery] Conner, Janice Adamson, Anne Rekeweg and Linda Taillon. “All in all it was a pretty good year for us,” Seibold-Caudill remarked. “We had a great freshman class and the senior leadership helped the younger swimmers to progress throughout the season. Our performance at the MAC was not as good as we ex- pected, but because of the outstan- ding youth we have, we are look- ing forward to next season. @ Front row: K. Lekovich, A. Stahl, L.

We won six tournaments, the MAC, and made our eighth team ap- pearance in the NCAA in the past 16 years,” he said. “Only two northern teams, Ohio State and Temple University have a better record. We finished 27th, which doesn’t sound like much, but when you think of all the divi- sion one teams, that is signifi- cant,” Yestingsmeier said. In the individual and the team play, the coach looked for con- sistency to make the winning dif- ference. “A year ago we were always having two or three guys play poorly, but this year the players came close to playing their potential. Although we had young players, we had veteran players.” he said. Several team members won in- dividual championships. Evansville sophomore Joel Pad- field, who received the award as most-improved player, won the In- Team CAA diana Intercollegiate and the Fripp Island (South Carolina) Invita- tional. Freshman Kevin Kozlowski, South Bend, the team’s most valuable player, took top honors at the Wildcat Classic hosted by the University of Kentucky and junior Kevin Gallagher won the Indiana Central invitational. All-conference awards went to Gallagher and sophomore Dave Witt and Yestingsmeier was honored as the MAC Coach of the Year for the third time. In addition, Kevin and Mike David were named to the Academic All-American team. Yestingsmeier noted that ac- complishment with pride, and said that to have two players from one college serve on that team of 31 players was quite an honor. All the players were sort of determined to play toward their potential. He said, we had good players, and they had a lot of “in- ward pride” in themselves. Individual honors aside, together the golfers showed that through consistent performance and a re- sounding comeback from eighth place in the MAC, that they had every reason to be proud.@ ¢Co-Captain Mark David reacts toa missed put at the Cardinal Hills Golf Club.

Coffman compiled a 4-1 record to become the teams most valuable player. 196 -soitbal ERENT IR ASN : Team wins Saluki tournament eby Irene Lydia Stracke Trying to make a name for itself after placing last in the MAC, the women’s softball team was “kind of up in the air,” Head Coach Jeri Findlay said. “We knew we were very young, but we felt we would do better despite our youth,” she said. “We came off our spring trip with not a lot of wins but a lot of con- fidence,” Findlay said. That confidence helped boost the team to success at Carbondale, Ill. The season highlight for the young team was winning the Saluki In- vitational. The Cards triumph brought the women national recognition from Softball World News “Cardinals Complete Tur- naround,” the magazine heralded, after the Cards compiled a 3-1 record to take top honors in the six-team affair that was hosted by Southern Illinois University. “Ball State was sky high after their win over us,” SIU Coach Kay Brechtelsbauer told Softball World News “They gained momentum as the tournament progressed and won the close games. You can’t overlook any teams these days. There are more and more good teams out there looking to make names for themselves,” Brecheltsbauer said. SIU was undefeated in 1985 at the Saluki Invitational. Freshman Bernie Coffman pitch- ed for a 2-0, 1.17 ERA and batted .333 at the Saluki games and had 4-] season record to become the team’s most valuable player. In addition, junior catcher Laurie Whitcomb was named to the Academic All-MAC softball team and Kelly Everett received an academic honorable mention. Overall, however, the team’s confidence got a jolt when it lost a double header to Indiana Universi- ty. But in fairness to the team, IU’s powerhouse was formidable op- position for the Cards. (IU placed fourth in the nation in women’s softball.) Putting the season in perspec- tive, Finday said, “We lost a lot of l-run ball games, but the hitting wasn't as good as it should have been despite our youth.” The team also played the last weekend without four of our starters and as a result, “We just gave those games away,” she said. “We tried to improve our hitting and the team batting average went up 20 points over last year, but that will be the emphasis for next year. We had very young pitching, but the freshman came through for us,” Findlay said. “Our conference standing is not really indicative of where we were in the MAC. We've had another good recruiting year and I think we'll be able to show where we are in the returning talent we have next year,” Findlay said. Next year's improvement, if Findlays’s attitude is any indica- tion, may well be the key the Cards require to insure a perma- nent name for themselves. @ “ Rocky Rothrock emcee SU EC OA SOU et | “ “om + aa Pe: eTerri Kohne eSoftball-Front Row to Back Row: D.

ES LOO COOL ORE OTE ATES ONE IE ETS LO TL I ET SIMI IET 198¢Men’s Track eby Charmaine Balsleye With 14 returning letterman, the men’s track team made definite strides forward from 9th to 6th place in the Mid-American Con- ference. “We scored 62 points and were five points away from 4th place,” Head Coach Joe Rodgers said sum- ming up the team’s progress for the season. “We didn’t have the depth that we need although we had several outstanding individual per- formers,” Rodgers said. Three of the team’s outstanding individuals were Muncie freshman Scott Sanders, Portland senior Tony Evans and Marion junior Steve Cunningham who each set new school records during the season. Freshman Scott Sanders would have been the team’s most valuable player if they had chosen one, Rogers said, since he was the Co-Outstanding Performer at the Mid-American Conference Cham- pionships. Sanders is the No. 2 ranked freshman in U.S. track. Sanders events were the long and triple jump, and he placed 15th in the NCAA Indoor Cham- pionships at Oklahoma, City. Sanders jumped 24,’ 11,” He also jumped to place in the NCAA out- door championships in In- dianapolis. Sanders set a new record for the Field Sports Building with a 48,’ 9 1 4” triple jump and an indoor SUSE OS OI EOE ESO CEE ECE ECONO ESA IECES SE EEE ESE ODETTE SEEPS OSE USES SEEC ESI SETTERS EAHA ESTES NESE IE OP BEES STOTT OTP LIE school record with a 25,’ 9 and 1 4” long jump. Sanders personal best for the long jump was 26’ 3 1 4” which was a Ball State record. He also anchored the 400-meter relay which set a school record of 41.69 seconds. Sanders also won the Dogwood Relays, was a Drake Relays runner-up and the Jesse Owens Classic runner-up. “Steve Cunningham was also a leader and Tony Evans was a top performer as well,” Rodgers said. Evans also set school records in the discus with a 169,’ 6” mark and a 54,’ 4” distance in the shot put. Steve Cunningham’s school record came with a 13.9 time in the 110-meter high hurdles. The team’s dual-meet record was 2-3, but Rodgers said a controver- sial call in the mile-relay event at Ohio University caused the Cards a winning season. Because the team was dis- qualified in one event, the Cards lost that meet by 2 points and therein sacrificed what would have been a 3-2 winning season. Despite the loss, Rodgers had an optimistic view. “We really competed well and we have a good nucleus coming back,” Rodgers said. Outstanding individual performaces aside, Rodgers sees a winning team in the future. “We are just going to try to get as many people as possi- ble on the track,” he said. @ Dee Varma eA smooth sail over the high jump bar is demonstrated by Joe Obl- | inger.

For the first time since 1982 the track team competed in both an indoor and outdoor season. Ball State reinstated indoor track as an intercollegiate sport after dropping it in 1982. “This was the year that women’s track per- formed their lifetime and personal bests at meets,” Head Coach Patricia Wagner said. “They didn’t choke. The team needed to know that they could perform and they did it. They made the turning point for this program because of their confidence that they could rise to the occasion,” she said. The season’s disappointment for the Cards was at the dual meet with Bowling Green, where Wagner said, “They blew us off the road. I was very disappointed in the team. They didn’t compete with any intensity, but after my discussion with them they per- formed,” Wagner said. The difference in the team was the indoor season, Wagner said. “That helped us quite a bit with our training and confidence building for the outdoor season,” she said. The year’s achievements oc- curred primarily in the indoor season where several school records were set. Freshmen Pam Groves and Michaela Kinnaird each ran the 55- meter dash to establish a new school record at :07.3, and freshman Tammi Metcalf set a school record in the 55-meter hurdles at :09.0. Kinnaird also established a new record in the 440-yard dash in 1:01.0. and she anchored both the mile and the 1600-meter relays that set new university records. In the mile, senior Lisa Showley, junior Chris Hoffman, junior Lyn- da Fehrenbach and Kinnaird timed in at 4:07.9 and they crossed the finish line in the 1600-meter relay in 3:58.8. Junior Lynda Fehrenbach clock- ed in at :40.5 in the 300-yard dash. Senior Mary Taylor ran the 400-meter dash in :58.88 for a new university time, and Showley set records in the 500-meter run (1:16.0), the 600-meter run (1:35.4), and the 800-meter run (2:12.84). (Showley also set an out- door record in the 800-meter run when she bested her time to 2:09.74.) Other indoor records were freshman Christy Buis and sophomore Laura Didion. Buis’ new 880-yard run was 2:28.8 and Didion’s feats were in the 1500- meter run (4:42.8), the 2000-meter run (6:36.8) and the 3000-meter run (10:16.9). Junior D’Andrea White had a record in the long jump, 18,’ 9 3 4” and junior Diane Garner flew 35,’ 3” for a new record in the tri- ple jump to round out the indoor track records. Garner bested her triple jump outdoors for a record there of 35,’ 11 3 4.” The other individual school record was set by senior Joann Dimonte’s in the outdoor season’s 10,000 meter run where she finished in 38:32. From the women’s performance, it is clear the university made the right decision to reinstate the in- door season as a collegiate sport. These improved personal records indicate that as a team, the women have the potential to be a winning contender in the Mid-American Conference.

The men finished their season with a 21-15 record and a 3-1 finish in the Midwest In- tercollegiate Volleyball Association Championship. The team’s 21-15 record isn’t their best, but considering the strength of their competitors and the fact that the team placed 11th in the nation, the team was cer- tainly a contender. The university's ranking in the top 20 poll, provided by the Tachikara Coaches Poll, occurred for the first time in 1986. “| think we were very optimistic, but had a couple questions about young players who were going to be in key positions in the starting lineup,” Head Coach Don Shondell said. The players Shondell was referr- ing to were sophomore setters John Badami and Joel Walton. Xia, Student manager R. Lacis, J. Arnold, T. Elezi, B. Begor, P. Clemens, S. Scheller, S. Krenz, M. Fried, R. Sulma, Student manger J. Bull and Student assistant coach M. Piipponen. “But, both came through beautiful- ly for us,” he said. After winning the MIVA two years in a row, the 10-15, 15-9, 15-10, 15-13 loss there to Ohio was a heartbreaker. While the loss at MIVA was the season’s low point, the year was not without major accomplishment for the team. The highlight of the season was the team’s win at the Nittany Lion Invitational at University Park, Penn. The team beat No. 4 ranked Penn State in five games on their competitor’s home turf. “That was a great come-from- behind win. They had us buried and we came back and won it,” Shondell said. Helping make that success possi- ble was the year’s outstanding achiever and Most Valuable Player, senior Chris Dowler, Oakdale, Minn., a team co-captain with Badami.

He was also named to the All- Midwest Intercollegiate Volleyball Association Team with Monona, Wis. junior John Waite, and was selected for the At Large Academic All-District Five Second Team. “T felt very pleased about this year’s team. We had a relatively inexperienced setter (Badami) and left side hitter (Eric Buhlman), but they performed very well for us in their starting position. This team got along really well with each other and | was confident when they walked on the court that they were going to compete,” Shondell said. While the loss at MIVA prevented a trip to the NCAA, con- sidering the strength of the Volleycards nationally ranked com- petitors, the men’s record proved they remain a force to be reckoned with. @ °A perfect spike by John Badami allows Joel Walton to hit a perfect spike.

We were cohesive and had high desire,” she said of her players. “They (the other team) probably succumbed to the belief that since they had always beat us we weren't a threat.” The team’s effort was propelled by freshman Nancy Benjamin, who played in the No. 2 position, Wertel said. “She helped a lot to bring everybody’s esteem, and her doing well as a freshman helped encourage everyone to do their best.” Overall the team played well at the beginning of the season, but men set t ne had an uneven finish. The women won their first seven games before dropping 2-6 to Purdue. The women then beat Louisville, Indiana State and Bowling Green, then lost to Eastern Michigan, Toledo and Ohio State. The team then blitzed Ohio University in an impressive 7-2 showing, but were trounced by Miami University 9-0. They came back to topple Nor- thern Illinois 5-4, but were aced by Western Michigan 9-0, to finish the season with 12 wins and six losses. The team faces the future with the loss of only two seniors, Mun- cie’s Julie Mannies and Liz Studor, Indianapolis. “Our players showed improved desire and concentration,” Wertel said although they were two not- ches short of her goal of a fourth place finish in the MAC. As a result, the women will devote their attention to building individual strategies and to try to work a little more for each in- dividual game, she said. @ Marc d.

Everyone pulls for each other. Thats why we were suc- cessful.” And successful they were, as the men won their third straight MAC conference championship. “This was a very young team, we had no seniors,” Richards said. “Because of this, our expectations weren't quite as high. I’m not sur- prised we won, but we achieved more than we expected.” All of the men contributed to make a winning season. A prime example was the dual meet against Miami of Ohio. The Cardinals were behind 4-2 after the singles, but the men pulled through to sweep the doubles. “This was the most significant thing to happen,” Richards said. “It hurt Miami going into the championships, but it lifted us and was a big factor going into the championships. “We had a good team because we had team work,” Richards stressed. “Someone was always there to pick you up if you were struggling. Your always going to have ups and downs in a nine months season. But we never hit a low spot because of all the team work.” For this reason Richards does not give a most valuable award. There were, however, three men named to the All-Conference team. Marty Reist, Eric Nixon and Todd Hershey all received this honor. Reist was the number one singles while Nixon and Hershey were the number two and three singles respectively. Nixon and Hershey also combined to make the number one doubles team. Nixon and Hershey won both the doubles and indoor doubles championships. With all of the success that the men’s tennis team gained, Coach Richards summed up the season with a simple statement which described the team’s success: “It was a bunch of men out there playing for each other and the team.” @ eFront Row: S.

From classes to club meetings, there was never a reason for boredom. To those who get involved, the year seems to fly by, leaving little time for the necessary tasks of sleeping and studying. There were an over- whelming number of things to occupy a stu- dent’s attention. Whether it was films, dances, art or variety shows, beauty pageants or sporting events, special interest groups found a way to reward the labor of study- ing and make life more enjoyable.

At the beginning of the year, the Activities Fair kicked off the year for the Student Center Programming Board. Films, dances, beauty pageants, art shows, Homecoming to Spring Jam, all were among the fare spon- sored by SCPB. From Games Frames, to John Cafferty the Beaver Brown Band, SCPB had the campus covered. If that weren’t enough, 19 fraternities, 13 sororities, and 10 little sis groups, 34 depart- mental organizations and 33 religious com- munities were available to meet the needs of students. From Baptist to Roman Catholic, from Jew to Muslim, from Quaker to Unitarian, houses for worship abound to meet those needs unaddressed by studies or 2 1 Oespecia Interest sports. Throughout the year students proved from Watermelon Bust to Campus Chest that students do more than “get drunk and throw up on people’s lawns,” to quote one administrator who works with student volunteers. Special interest groups are a record of those whose effort did not end at the classroom or the residence hall, but extend- ed into service to the campus and com- munity. Not every student organization chose to be represented here, but those who did were among the many whose contributions to the university made study more meaningful, made life more enjoyable, or who enriched their members with the assurance that even when one is away from home, there is a group where one can belong. eby Irene Lydia Strack The pompon squad performs a routine at a home basketball game in University Gym.

They are the Cardinal Corps, and according to their brochure, they “possess...a thorough knowledge of the university, including _ its structure, history, and recent and future developments...” The Cardinal Corps was founded in 1967 by Oliver Bumb, and members serve as the university’s official hosts and hostesses. “Whenever anyone on campus has a reception, we do just about anything,” Randy Correll, Cardinal Corps president, said. The group also works at conferences, conventions, lectures and ball games, and welcomes visitors such as VT? etc vie - guest lecturers, politicians, foreign dignitaries and alum- ni. “The university president uses us for almost everything, and this has been by far our busiest year,” David Stout, Cardinal Corps adviser, said. Stout is director of Con- ferences and Special Events and has been Cardinal Corps adviser since 1976. Stout's of- fice gets requests from organizations, and every two weeks he presents the re- quests to the members. “The president will select which functions to work at on the basis of the number of members available to work,” Stout said. The Cardinal Corps has had some interesting duties in the past. “We get some weird re- Sy quests for services,” Correll said. Last fall, at a reception for former President Ford at Emens_ Auditorium, — the group served to block off a section of seats reserved for dignitaries. Each member even had to clear a Secret Ser- vice security check before working closely with the president, according to Stout. Another important event Cardinal Corps hosts takes place every summer when 2,000 thespians stay on cam- pus. “That event is the big one,” Correll said, adding, “They keep us on our toes all week,” Although most events at which the Cardinal Corps works take place on campus, the group occasionally gets to amet 4 is . .

The members of Cardinal Corps have many different duties at the events they host. According to Stout, they serve refreshments, hand out literature and nametags, and welcome visitors. Personal skills are impor- tant. Besides poise and ap- pearance, members need to have good communication skills and be enthusiastic about themselves and univer- sity life, Correll said. A knowledge of university trivia is helpful as well. “They should be able to con- verse on any topic, have an awareness of the campus, and be involved in. campus | University experts welcome visitors activities,” Stout explained. Speaking of trivia, Joyce DeWitt, of “Three’s Com- pany” fame, must have possessed these qualities because she is a former Car- dinal Corps member. Talking, serving punch and handing out literature may not sound like difficult tasks, but Cardinal Corps members work hard to give visitors a warm welcome, a pleasant stay and a lasting impression of the university.@ by Janie Tuttle Earth Day’s small participation proves at least a few students still care about the environment.

Being a married stu- dent, possibly with children, puts additional strain on the education process. The Fami- ly Housing Association helps those students living with their families in Scheidler or Anthony Apartments to cope with school and housing pro- blems and have a little fun, too. The association is an organization strictly for those students and families living in Scheidler and Anthony. “Family Housing Associa- tion was brought about because we felt the need for a liaison group between the ad- ministration and the residents of family housing,” FHA president Ron Owens, resident of Scheidler Apart- ments, said. Owens said the FHA “relates program ideas to the administration.” FHA was started about four or five years ago, family housing director David Schultz said. Schultz, founder of the organization, indicated that the purpose of family housing is to provide affordable housing for students who are residing with their spouse and or children while attending school. As a liaison group, FHA Gooty Olympics creates smiles in Ryon Slagle and Diane Wolff.

The organization was suc- cessful in its latest effort to in- stall smoke detectors in cam- pus apartments. “Scheidler and Anthony did not have smoke detec- tors,” Owens said. “We felt there was a safety hazard with the apartments being two and three levels. “We submitted a letter to Ball State,” he said. “They took a look at the situation and said, ‘Yes, there is a pro- blem.’ The idea was approved and they are purchasing smoke alarms for the apart- ments. We felt that was a giant step.” Even with all the good work FHA does, all lobbying and no play makes for a dull association. “It’s a work group,” Owens said, “but it’s also a fun group. We get together and plan parties and activities.” Owens said FHA tries to organize at least one or two major acitvities every month to keep the residents in- terested and active in the association.

FH had a shopping trip to Castleton Square Mall and an excursion to the Indianapolis Children’s Museum which was very successful. “It took three buses to get us all down there,” Owens said. Saturday programs are also provided one Saturday a month to allow the children a chance to socialize. FHA started a story time for 3-to 5- year-olds on Saturdays, and a bowling party is given for older kids and teenagers. Last but certainly not least, the group also provides a study hall service for residents. During finals, FHA supplies coffee and a quiet place to study. “Sometimes it’s hard to study with kids in the house, and you can’t just throw them outside,” Owens said. “It’s really a nice service to supply to the residents. FHA continues its involve- ment throughout the sum- mer. Plans include children’s programs and games to keep the little ones active and avoid boredom. Owens believes these ser- vices, and others provided by FHA, help students with fam- ilies while in school. “The facility out here where we live is our home,” Owens said. “We (FHA) try to make a difference in our life out here.” @ eby Robin Jo Mills Andrew Johnston Special Interest 2 l 9 One Interest leads to another Front Row: Rise Cogswell, Barbara Timmerman, Tim Johnston, Kathy Vogel, Laura Snyder, Kent Williams, Lizann George, Bill Bishir.

The Pride of Mid-America is “trying to earn the respect of the student body and fans,” Scagnoli said. He hopes more students will be encouraged to join the band as it improves. This year, the band increas- ed its size by 30 members, c= of Pride performances creating a 210-member band. The Pride of Mid-America is able to play a variety of selections because their con- cept of style is different than many other university mar- ching bands, chiefly because half of the band is music ma- jors and minors. Some bands are composed almost entirely of students for whom music is a hobby; therefore, even though Ball State has a smaller number of people in the band, their tone quality and musical _per- formance equals or exceeds the bands of many larger schools. @ eby Ann Kindt “= —— Andrew Johnston Special Intereste 2 Z l One Interest leads to another Front Row: Tracy Waller and Patty Jones.

Members of SVS donate a few hours each week working as volunteers for organizations for children, the elderly and other groups. Sue Wanzer, director of SVS, said students are involv- ed in a variety of work in agencies throughout east- central Indiana. “What we are trying to do is make students aware of what we do so they can take advantage of what we Offer,” she said. Students may choose from more than 60 different organizations to work for. Options range from working with the elderly to helping at the Indiana School for the Deaf, the Mental Health Association or the Pendleton State Reformatory.

Many students come to SVS to gain practical ex- perience in their field of study, such as Portage senior Rhonda Becker. A deaf education major, Becker worked at the Indiana School for the Deaf, the Muncie Children’s Home and as a tutor. Becker, who has been with SVS four years, said most of her work has been in recrea- tion and interacting with the children.

Throughout the year students could be counted on to carry kegs out the emergency exits and up the stairs. Smuggled alcohol was the rule, despite a prohibition that bans alcohol everywhere on campus, except in Elliot Hall, which is an over-21 dorm. Campus organizations like BACCHUS (Boost Alcohol Consciousness Concerning the Health of University Students), spon- sored a bulletin-board contest during Alcohol Awareness Week that 10 halls par- ticipated in. The prize was a complimentary BACCHUS bar featuring non-alcoholic drinks. But for the more spirited at heart, the real thing was often a keg of Budweiser. The university even created a position of alcohol-education counselor, filled by alum- nus Anna Lamb. Lamb told the Daily News “| feel that the administration here is some- what concerned about the wild-out (alcohol) abuse that is going on, and they’re hoping that I can at least make an impact on that.” While Lamb said she understood the reali- ty of the situation was that there are people here who drink, she told the DN she hoped to encourage responsible drinking. Students’ interests, which are often un- predictable, resulted in some changes in residence hall services. The Residence Hall Dining Service was prepared to serve picnic lunches before every home game at the foot- ball stadium, but the picnics were canceled for lack of interest. In other residence hall changes, freshman ules meant to be broken were required to live on campus this year, sparking some outcry and resistance. The final tally showed that nearly everyone com- plied, although one or two exceptions were granted. Declining enrollment prompted a proposal requiring that sophomores reside on campus, but that idea was scrapped after considerable outcry. For those to whom the residence halls are a world unto themselves, the halls did have their share of activities to keep students busy. On Campus Days was one week set aside to recognize and promote all aspects of residence hall life. Family Feud took the place of Splish Splash, but Be Kind to Your Housekeeper and Maintenance People Day continued as in previous years. Through participation in such events, halls gained the chance to win desk supplies, pizza coupons or movie passes. But, when all is said and done, two memories will undoubtedly stand out among the rest as images of residence hall life: smuggled liquor and hall-sponsored dances. When the memories of all-nighters have faded, and the taste of residence hall food forgotten, the recollection of evenings of dancing and partying will endure. Whether it was the Botsford Swinford Southern Ball, Valentine’s Day dances, or impromptu stereos engaged for a night of wild and reckless boppin’, the memory of a time when life was lived to be enjoyed, will en- dure. by Irene Lydia Strack SEE Residence Hallse 229 Ai enjoy festive hall Located just off Daytona Beach North near the il- lustrious Duck Pond, Swin- ford Hall enjoys year-round laughter and excitement, which moves to the water’s edge during Spring Quarter. That spirit could be found in December, when Swinford and its sister hall, Botsford, hosted their annual Christmas dance. After 12 hours of work by the joint social committee, the chair- cluttered lounge =— was transposed into a _ winter wonderland filled with Christmas trees and lights, which surrounded candlelit tables. Over 100 couples at- tended the semi-formal dance. Besides dances, Swinford offered residents numerous opportunities for involve- ment. Basketball, _ pool, euchre, ping-pong and Trivial Pursuit tournaments were just a few of the options available to residents throughout the year. yO eRedence Halls Good times weren't saved for these organized activities exclusively; fun and games could be found around the clock in the lounge. The main lounge was alive at any hour with a host of euchre games being played, empty pizza boxes on the floor, and people carrying on as if it were the middle of the day. According to some residents of “The Late Night Crew,” there is an unwritten rule that if you are the last one up you have to pull an all-nighter. If anyone ever needs a friend or someone to talk to, the crew contend, so- meone will be in the lounge, regardless of the hour. “| think Swinford is the place to be,” Randy Toering, St. Joseph, Mich., freshman said. “People will help you with anything, whether you just need someone to talk to or whether it’s homework.

If she were at home she could enjoy the privacy of her own room, the familiarity of her own bathroom, and _ her mother’s delicious cooking. But alas, she lives in a residence hall, Wood Hall to be exact, where she rooms with another student, shares a bathroom with about 60 other residents, and eats din- ing service chow every morn- ing. Although it’s not quite home, Wood Hall, located in Woodworth Complex (better eS A eRecticnne Halls known as “the Nunnery’), isn’t all bad. According to Wood Hall Director Robin Hayden, the hall is quite uni- que. “We probably have the most traffic through our hall,” she said. “Due to sorority suites being located here, a lot of girls are always coming through. And since we have better vending machine choices than Brady, they all come over here to use our machines.” Wood Hall seems to have much to offer students. Hayden enjoys being near class buildings. As hall direc- tor, she has also noticed “we have less discipline problems here, and our hall is clean, quiet and has an excellent housekeeping staff.” Freshman Wood Hall resi- dent, Laura Meyer, enjoys the privacy of the hall, but, ‘I wish there were guys living here,” she said. Residents of Wood Hall have many opportunities to participate in activities on campus and in the hall. Submarine sandwich eating contests bring out a student’s competitive appetite. The contest was one of many held to entertain students during Homecoming. “We have a lot of participa- tion, and we have excellent desk staff and student staff teams,” Hayden said.

Wrong. And Brady Hall proves it. Although most colleges in the United States have residence halls, all are not alike. According to junior Lori Raymann, a Marion College transfer, Brady Hall is quite different from what she’s us- ed to. “There are more people around all the time here.” Raymann said there is also a big difference between hall des ks at Ball State and those at Marion. “Here the desks provide more services, like allowing students to check out games and buy stamps,” she said. Not only is Brady Hall dif- ferent from dorms at other colleges, but it is even unique at Ball State. Sophomore Lib- by Kingen noticed the girls in Brady Hall are especially nice. “We all really know each other and get along,” she said. According to Raymann, the rooms in Brady are nicer than others because students can move the furniture around and because the windows are large. One typical aspect of Brady Hall is that it houses a wide variety of women, but Brady’s population is largely Greek. Ratmann emphasized, “It’s easier to get close to the girls in Brady compared to LaFollette or Studebaker be- cause those dorms are large.” Raymann said because other dorms are also co-ed, a lot of the women living in them “are too interested in checking out the guys to get to know the girls they live next to.” Indeed, the women in Brady Hall do come to know one another. Shelly Wilker- son, freshman, possibly got 2 Oe Restionee Halls to know her next door neighbor too well. She ex- plained, “We had this great water fight in the bathroom, and sliding across the wet floor was a blast. But the best part was drenching our neighbor because we don't like her.” Getting to know neighbors also results in the presenta- tion of funny awards at the Brady Hall Banquet at the end of the year. Raymann was one victim of the ban- quet. She explained how she got her award. “l can’t fall asleep if the room is silent, and it’s always silent because | live alone. So | always sleep with the televi- sion on. Now all the girls think all I do all night is watch television, so they gave me the ‘7.V. Addict Award,” she said. Brady Hall is a nice, quiet dorm, but it does have its negative side. According to Raymann, the hall had a pro- blen with crime during Spring Quarter. “Guys con- stantly roam the halls, knock on doors, and just walk in.” she said. They even corner girls in the bathroom or the laundry room.” Two rooms were broken in- to this year, Kingen said. Despite these problems, Brady Hall residents go home for the summer with happy memories of the girls they lived with at school. “It's dif- ferent from home because the food’s worse, but I made a lot of good friends and had good times,” Wilkerson said. @ by Janie Tuttle Ma, do | have to eat the crust?

Residence Hallse2OO Student honors In 1981, a national survey found the university's hous- ing program to be among the top five in the nation. Only four years before, a new organization in the residence halls was founded to recognize exceptional service to the halls by students, the kind of service that made the university outstanding in the nation. The National Residence Hall Honorary has continued to promote excellence in stu- dent leaders to provide the continuity necessary to keep hall programming at its best. “My sophomore year | was nominated when | was presi- dent of my hall,” Susan Custer, Anderson — senior, said. “I have maintained my membership so | could help the people behind me in the process.” Each fall and spring the honorary held banquets to in- duct new members. To be eligible, candidates are re- quired to have a 2.0 GPA, be of sophomore standing and be nominated by their hall director, hall council or a member of NRHH. In accordance with na- tional regulations, only one percent of the student body living in the residence halls could be chosen; therefore, final selections were made through interviews. Although the organization was first and foremost an honorary, it sponsored several activities throughout the year that reflected a com- mitment to maintaining and improving residence hall life through hall leaders. “It offers sessions to teach people how to run their hall councils,” Gary Markwell, Columbus junior, said. “Some organizations are run so sloppily, they need to d 4 2A O cResidence Halls learn parliamentary __pro- cedure. We can help them if they just ask us.” Other members of the honorary worked closely with a particular hall council. “I’m working with Woody Hall because they have a pro- blem with their joint council with Shales Hall,” Jerry DeFord, Noblesville senior, said. During Spring Quarter, NRHH joined the Residence Hall Honorary to conduct the Spring Leadership Workshop, an all-day event at Mounds State Park. The newly elected hall officers heard a keynote speaker and members of NRHH in sessions ranging from delegation to brainstor- ming to publicity. “It gives ‘the officers a general preview of what they are facing and what they need to do for next year,” Markwell said. “It gives them con- fidence to do their job and a source for information for next year.” During the lunch break in the workshop, groups of NRHH members and new of- ficers sat on the grass and shared stories of failed events and resident burnout. But they also talked about the packed dances and well- attended educational _ pro- gramming. “The organization is made up of people who enjoy work- ing in the residence halls,” Markwell said. “They are the people who can come up with the ideas and motivate others.” @ eby Angie Fullenkamp Rob Cromer pours a cold one down the throat of Keith Snyder to see how much he can handle.

Residence Hallse 24 l Whether it was skiing in Michigan, playing — sharp- shooter in the assassin’s game, ‘“snarfing” in the Jell-O Olympics, or “getting their boogies down” at a Hallo- ween dance planned for March, residents of Hurlbut Hall didn’t lack activities to fill their spare time. “Making fun out of fund- raising” could easily have been Hurlbut’s theme for the year. According to Jerry DeFord, Noblesville senior, residents competed in a food drive, col- lecting 60 pounds of canned and dry goods to donate to “A Better Way.” Looking toward hall needs, they sold flowers, organized a dance and provided a “Dial- A-Dog” hot dog service dur- ing the Superbowl to raise funds for their quarterly allot- ment. They then used the money to purchase an ice machine. Pointing residents toward academic success were the development of a quiet hours policy and the “Hurlbut Stars.” With Hurlbut Stars, “you set a goal of your grades for the quarter,” DeFord explain- ed. “If you reach your goal, they put a star on your door with your GPA and give you a pizza party.” Carefully blended with the homework and the hard work was at least a dose of fun. Many residents participated in the big brother-little sister program. Others attended dances and parties sponsored by the hall. One potential party, which was still in the planning stages in early February, bor- rowed an idea used at Indiana University. Making money for hall According to DeFord, each floor would have a disc jockey in its study lounge. Residents could go from lounge to lounge, and each floor would have a different style of music. For example, one floor might play country, another rock’n’roll, and yet another jazz. Other plans included a car- nival, the Menk- Hurlbut pic- nic complete with co-ed soft- ball, and a trip to King’s Island, as well as a coffee house and an_all-campus dance. “The hall council gets a lot of stuff accomplished,” De- Ford said. “Everybody gets involved. It’s not one of those things where just the execu- tive officers do everything, because everybody gets mo- tivated to do things.” And do things they did. @ eby Diane Kennedy 7s cues Halls H acky-Sack has Keith Snyder, Todd Harding and Rob Cromer occupied in their residence hall lounge.

Dale Westrate Residence HallseL40 At a time when the perils wrought by drinking have become increasingly promi- nent on college campuses, it is perhaps, not surprising that some modification would be made in the age-old tradition of fraternity rush. Supporting a nationwide trend toward dry rushes, the Interfraternity Council voted unanimously Sept. 23 to ban rush parties that serve alcohol. As Don Mikesell, vice president of student affairs, told the Daily News “I don't see how it can do anything but improve the situation because you don’t join a fraternity to drink beer. This decision was made because of the 20-percent to 60-percent attrition rate among university fraternity pledges, according to Rich Harris, Interfraternity Council adviser. Fall sorority rush continued as scheduled, although the Panhellenic Council which governed sororities considered the same pro- posal. Panhel voted unanimously not to make the same change. Dry rush had little effect on the number of pledges, this year 289 men went through rush despite its non- alcoholic status. Another change brought to fraternity life was the passage in the Indiana Senate of a bill that would make hazing a Class A misdemeanor. The bill defines hazing as performing an act of initiation into a student organization or coercing another person to perform an act of initation into a student organization. University officials welcomed the idea of a state law but said the university’s policy was more stringent than the state law. The university policy defines hazing as “any mental or physical requirement, re- quest or obligation placed on another person which could be harmful to the health (i 244 Greeks way of life, Greek style One Greek leads to another and or welfare of the person or which is personally degrading to the individual in- volved or which has an adverse effect on the academic progress of the person or which violates any federal, state, local or University policy.” Greek life, despite its philanthropic events, does face an occasional round pitted against the community at large. For example, Sigma Pi fraternity attempted to buy the residence at 1000 Riverside Ave., but first had to get the county planning commission to rezone the property for special student services to allow for larger occupancy at the residence. The Riverside Neighborhood Association blocked the fraternity’s attempt, claiming it would increase traffic, noise, and drunken- ness on Riverside. Theta Xi fraternity, with a different agenda in hand, made a tongue-in-cheek offer to President Reagan providing the use of the fraternity’s garage as a nuclear missile silo. Dan McDonald, the Theta Xi nuclear arms chairman, wrote the letter to Reagan ‘to point out that Ball State is more than just a hole in the ground -- it’s an important place.” ’ Throughout the year, Greeks proved just that point. Through hard work and many unseen hours of labor, fraternities and sororities showed that while they may be small in proportion to the entire student body, they are the sponsors of a good por- tion of the university’s social and philan- thopic activities. From Watermelon Bust to Tug-A-War, from Muscle Madness to Bike-A-Thon, Greeks showed they had the campus covered. by Irene Lydia Strack Fianked by Shane Faucett, Chris Courtney, Matt Mopar, Rick Caston and Dave Albert, Larry “Bud” Melman, enjoys the Homecoming game.

But according to senior Greg Abell, that’s just part of the Lambda Chi mysti- que. “Outsiders always ask us how much our fathers have to make for us to be able to be Lambda Chis,” Abell said. Tom Tuttle, a sophomore, felt the same way. “Others think all we look at is the financial statement of each rushee’s father, but that’s just not true,” he said.

Terri Kohne At their places, Delta Tau Delta, Destiny and Sigma Pi prepare for the start of the race. Although the Delts edged Destiny in the time trials, Destiny won for the sixth con- secutive year. With or without a fortune, the members of Lambda Chi Alpha, commonly known as “Chops,” are a different breed of fraternity men. Abell admitted Chops have an air about them that rubs some people the wrong way. “We're not cocky, just confi- dent,” he said. According to Tuttle, Lambda Chi Alpha won this year's Interfraternity Council intramural football cham- pionship as well as winning an award for having the most improved grades among the fraternities. Unveiling Lambda mystique “Lambda Chis are athletic, outgoing guys,” Tuttle said. Lambda Chi Alpha began at Ball State as the Navaho Fraternity. Abell described it as “a group of men, not established, who used to meet at a place in the Village called the Pine Shelf.” Later, the men applied to Lambda Chi Alpha for a charter at Ball State and received approval. They now occupy the house at 1110 Riverside as Lambda Chi Alpha.

Bike-A-Thon is the biggest Greek-sponsored fundraiser on campus, according to Tut- tle. The event raised $7,000 this year, he said. The success of Bike-A- Thon is attributed to several factors. According to Tuttle, “Our seniors were the key because they are experienced organizers.” He also said the fraternity’s little sisters used to help with Bike-A-Thon, but since the little sis organization was dropped this year, “the brothers had just that much more to do,” he said. Good weather and thorough publicity added to the event's success, Abell ad- ded. The attention _ gained through Bike-A-Thon makes Lambda Chi Alpha well- known, but there are unique things about the fraternity, Tuttle said.

Not many people realize the difference between Lamb- da Chi Alpha “associates” and other _ fraternities’ “pledges,” he further explain- ed. ‘We pride ourselves on having associates on the same level as the actives. Pledges of other fraternities are below the actives. “We don’t make them plant grass seed one seed at a time or keep them up all night. And we don't make them come down to the house. They come down because they want to,” he said. Abell agreed the associates are active because they want to be, and he said, “It doesn’t seem right that you could spit in a guy's face one minute and after activation turn around and call him a brother.” To sum up his four years, Abell said, “I feel Lambda Chi has helped me grow for my future endeavors.” @ by Janie Tuttle CH; 4 Rocky Rothrock 6 Give me that Greek Week Music,”’ has Julie Habert and Lydia Butts giving a country- western performance at the Greek Week Variety Show.

Whether members were working on the Student Auditorium Advisory Com- mittee or the Admissions Coordinating Team, plann- ing their own fundraiser or participating in another organization’s, they were having fun. Thomson said she was proud of the fact that Chi Omegas are active on cam- pus in other organizations outside the sorority. “People see us helping other people,” she said. “We're not staying in our own little clique. We all have different ideas and we're able to work well together. We’re able to get each other interested in other aspects of the campus.” Thomson said the group looks for people who are ac- tive on campus, or who were involved in extracur- ticular activities in high school, when they look at potential members. She ex- plained that extracurricular involvement is not required to become a Chi Omega, but it is desirable. What is required to become a Chi Omega is a freshman GPA of 2.3, or 2.5 for upperclassmen. This year the sorority was proud to note it sponsored several beauty queens. Chi Omega Diane Radpour was ’ named Greek Week Queen. Becky Krebs was Homecoming Queen, the second year in a row that honor has gone to a Chi Omega. Muscle Madness’ obstacle course sends Les_ Dillman skyward. The obstacle course was the most popular event in the Sigma Kappa fundraiser. Another activity that kept members busy was the Omega Open, a tennis tour- nament sponsored by Chi Omega sorority and Alpha Tau Omega fraternity. According to Thomson, the tournament was a suc- cess, all things considered. “This was only the second year it’s been put on, and it was on a weekend that con- flicted with the Little 500,” she said. Explaining that timing, Thomson said, “The calen- dar is so booked here, with events, it’s hard to find your date. Since we haven't done this activity for over five years, we don’t get a priority date.” Thomson went on to say that because of their na- tional, they are allowed to sponsor just one fundraiser each academic year. The proceeds from that fund- raiser go to the community level of an organization, as opposed to the national level. For example, if pro- ceeds were to go to The Red Cross, they would go to the Muncie chapter of the Red Cross, not the national one. Although the chapter is allowed to sponsor just one event for the community, the pledges hold a number of fundraisers for the chapter itself. In turn, members sponsor an event they call “Easter Kindness.” Youngsters from a children’s home are invited to the Easter party, which comes complete with eggs and, o f course, the Easter Bunny. Although the sisters are in involved in many activities, they can always find time for what counts. “When we need people there to do things, they'll be there,” Thomson said. @ eby Diane Kennedy Greekse2D | One Greek leads to another Front Row: Elizabeth Burchett.

Ponhel Council governs Greeks Activities abound through- out the year for the Pan- hellenic Council. Panhell is the governing body for all sororities although it spon- sors events for Greeks and non-Greeks alike. Sororities elect delegates to represent them in Panhel. This gives each organization input for programs and events. The most noticed function of Panhel on campus is fall sorority rush. While the en- tire Panhellenic Council and all sororities are involved in rush, a large portion of the responsibilties belong to the Panhel rush coordinator. Elizabeth Burchett, Ken- dalville junior, said that as rush coordinator she “worked with the rush chairmen and rush counselors from all the sororities.” This includes training in the spring prior to rush. Following rush, a series of programs aim primarily at the new sorority pledges. Lee McKown, Muncie senior and Panhel vice president, said, “AS vice president, | put on three programs in the first three months (of the school U natraid of the sight of blood, Mike Copher makes a fist while donating blood at a (Panhel blood drive.

Panhel president Diane Radpour, Kokomo senior, said these activities, which are mandatory for pledges, are also open to all students. As a campus-wide service, Panhel also sponsors a speaker each Winter Quarter dealing with women’s con- cerns, Radpour said. This year's speech was “Against Your Will,” dealing with sex- ual harassment and date rape. Spring Quarter brings warm weather and Panhel is ready for a little fair-weather fun. To honor sorority members with a 3.5 GPA or better, Radpour said, Panhel holds a scholarship picnic. The event provides a day of fun for scholastic-minded people in the Greek system with a cookout, volleyball, softball and other springtime activities. Panhel _also scholarships to — sorority women. Each fall, three pledges receive a $50 scholar- ship, while three active sorority members receive a $100 scholarship —_ every quarter. The Panhellenic Council also works with the Interfraternity Council to organize a quarterly blood drive. @ awards by Robin Jo Mills Rocky Rothrock Greekse 2 53 One Greek leads to another Front Row: Laurie Scherrer, Elaine Sherwin, Debbie Goodridge, Janet Bossemeyer, Karen Henderson.

Strictly defin- ed, the word means an organization of women with a common interest or pur- pose, especially a social or a charitable one. But more often it conjures up warm feelings and memories of a close group sharing good times and not-so-good times, the kind of _ things remembered more in the heart than in any scrapbook. For Sigma Kappa sorority, that sisterhood was the pur- pose of their organization. “We honestly strive to have an inner strongness,” Presi- dent Lisa Raysin, Ft. Wayne senior, said. “It matters how you look on campus, but what's really important is our sisterhood. If you have the in- ner strength, you don’t need to prove it to anyone else.” This did not mean the sorority limited its campus activities, however. Sigma Kappa also prided itself on the diversity of its 76 members and their individual involvement in other organizations. “We require that every quarter each member be in- volved in two organizations other than Sigma Kappa,” Raysin said. “Having a lot of girls involved helps pull us out on campus to spread our name and helps bring the campus to us. I'd bet we have a member in every single organization on campus.” Sigma Kappa had members in Mortar Board, Student Orientation Corps, Real musicians need to have no fear from those who only pre- tend. Greek Week’s Variety Show brought out a host of students who pretended to play musical instruments for an air- jam type contest. Volunteers in Admissions and the Nursing Association, to mention a few. Jill Dimick, Muncie senior, was Student Association president, and Toni Purvis, Indianapolis senior, was president of the Order of Omega, an _ organization honoring fraternity and sorority members for academic and campus achievements. In addition to their in- dividual responsibilities, the sisters also sponsored group events as well. During Cam- pus Chest, the sorority helped raise money for campus and community services to such an extent that it was awarded the participation award among Greek groups for the third year in a row. Sigma Kappa also scored consistent- ly among the top three sororities with the highest grade-point averages. The sorority also planned the second annual Sigma Kappa Muscle Madness in March, a full day of games for fraternities on campus, raised $200 for the Alpha Center. Sigma Kappa was active in a continuing gerontology pro- ject. Every week four girls were assigned to visit a resi- dent of the Westminster Village Retirement Center, who came to be known as “Grandma Griley.” The organization's activity on campus as individuals and as a group brought them respect and recognition. The diversity and number of in- dividual activities was a source of great pride for the sorority. Yet hidden under the hustle and bustle of their activities lay the reason for their success--the inner strength of sisterhood. eby Angie Fullenkamp Greeksed 55 Front Row: Dawn Rhoads, Mindy Shawver, Julie Wood, Linda Laws.

But for the women of Alpha Phi fraterni- ty, their favorite stuffed animals, teddy bears, aren't only the — organization’s mascot, but symbols of friendship and memories of college. “T think it’s cute, cuddly, and the best mascot on cam- pus,” said senior Deb Nobles, Alpha Phi’s _ philanthropic chairperson. Teddy bears aside, Alpha Phi is unique for other reasons as well. Founded at Syracuse University in Syracuse, New York, Alpha Phi occupied the first sorority house in America and is ac- tually called a fraternity because it was founded before the word “sorority” was coined. Founded at Ball State in 1964, Alpha Phi is a diverse group of women. According to Alpha Phi President Shan- non Wilkerson, “This chapter is made of so many different personalities we don’t have a stereotype on campus.” Wilkerson, a 1983 pledge, became president this spring. She chose Alpha Phi she said, because “All the women I met while going through rush were very receptive, open and friendly with me. | felt like | could be a sister here during college.” Alpha Phi’s image on cam- pus isn’t easy to pinpoint, ac- cording to Wilkerson. “J Greek Week’s scavenger hunt has Jeff McCarroll presenting his booty for the judges ex- amination. The contest’s par- ticipants had to find things rang- ing from bottle caps to brassieres. Activities Night for Greeks has Students stretching their lung capacity at balloon-blowing. The theme for the week’s events was ‘‘Greeks at Their Peak.”’ don’t think we have a certain stereotype, but our image is very good and is proven dur- ing rush because we always take outstanding girls who have heard only great things about Alpha Phi,” she said. Nobles said she thinks Alpha Phi’s image is strong due to the chapter’s internal strength and hard work. Ac- cording to Wilkerson, “Our enthusiastic, young ex- ecutive board and our members as a whole are devoted to making Alpha Phi the best.” And the devotion has paid off. Alpha Phi has won such events as the Theta Xi Tug-O- War, Lambda Chi Alpha Bike-A-Thon, and Spring Sing. Alpha Phi’s philanthropic, the Heart Association, also benefits from the members’ hard work. According to Nobles, the sorority raised about $1,000 for the Heart Association this year when it paired with Sigma Chi frater- ‘ Teddy bear serves as mascot nity to hold an annual Bowl- O-Rama contest. “All the girls did their jobs, and we had the best year ever,” Nobles said. But Alpha Phi isn’t all work. According to Nobles, it involves sisterhood and fond memories. She has happy memories of winning second place in Spring Sing in 1983 and of Pledge Overnight in 1982. “We all sat around and cried about how happy we were to be Alpha Phis,” she said. Overall, both Nobles and Wilkerson feel good about Alpha Phi, and wherever they see a teddy bear, they’re sure to be reminded of their college days. “Besides warm bear hugs, Alpha Phi has given me_ responsibility, taught me to respect others’ opinions, given me lots of friends and lots of good times,” Nobles said.@ by Janie Tuttle Greekse 2D fl One Greek leads to another Women of the Golden Hearts Front Row: Laura Laing, Jennifer Getz.

But according to Tracy Forrester and Russ Gluth, participation in a little sister organization, such as An uphill climb proves to be an obstacle for Bike Rally par- ticipants. The event, sanctioned by the United States Cycling Federation, kicked off the 1986 cycling season. the Sigma Phi Epsilon Women of the Golden Heart, can bring the missing closeness back into daily life. “A little sis organization lets you get to know a frater- nity better through friend- ships,” junior Tracy For- rester, former president of the Totes umbrellas shade bikers from the glare of the sun at the Delaware County Fairgrounds. Destiny captured the Bike-A- Thon title for the sixth con- secutive year. Women of the Golden Heart, said. “The house is a place where you know you can find a lot of friends.” A little sis organization serves other purposes as well, and the organizations differ from fraternity to fraternity. “We're there to support the guys in athletics and to have parties with them,” Forrester said. Russ Gluth, a little sis representative for Sigma Phi Epsilon, added, “The girls are people to have fun with, to ao 20'S.” , ae share good times with, to get support from in different ac- tivities...” Although little sis groups serve important purposes, they are not recognized by the Interfraternity Council. “Last year the IFC got heated at us for having mud wrestl- ing with the little sisses at a rush function,” Gluth said. “But IFC has nothing to do with the little sisters, thank God,” he added.

The girls have big brothers in the fraternity and big and little sisters within the little sis organiza- tion. The 30-member group also has regular meetings, philanthropics, an executive board, a bank account, and its own composite. “It’s basically a little sorori- ty,” Forrester said. But she emphasized one important difference, “We see more of an inside picture of fraternity life than sororities do.” As an independent organization, the Women of the Golden Heart is responsi- ble for its own business. “They basically run themselves with a little help from us,” Gluth said. He add- ed, “They take a lot on themselves and handle their own money.” Gluth is one of four little sis representatives for Sigma Phi Epsilon, and he explained that the reps sit in on little sis meetings and act as liasons between the Women of the Golden Heart and the active fraternity brothers. Becoming a Woman of the Golden Heart requires many of the same steps as sorority rush. Forrester said rush in- volves going to the fraternity house for theme parties. “The active little sisters and the ac- tive brothers all have a say in the girls chosen as pledges, but the guys have final say,” Forrester said.

Forrester spoke of her group’s diverse membership. “We have girls in majors ranging from natural resources to fashion design to business. We've got them all.” The Women of the Golden Heart also has its own executive board and pledge dance, Forrester said, which are rare phenomena among little sister organizations. As unique as the Sigma Phi Epsilon little sisters are, they have had to travel a rough road to get where they are to- day. According to Gluth, Sigma Phi Epsilon dropped the little sisters because they were “getting out of hand” and because “the program just wasn’t what we wanted.” But three years later, the Women of the Golden Heart reformed. “We've had to work awfully hard to get where we are,” Forrester said. Both Gluth and Forrester have been involved with the Women of the Golden Heart for about three years, and they both have fond memories of their involve- ment centering around Sigma Phi Epsilon’s former house mother, the late Betty Woods, known to the brothers as “Woo.” “My fondest memory is how I became a Sig Ep little sis,” Forrester explained. “I was a Lambda Chi Alpha lit- tle sister pledge when | met Woo. And she’s the one who talked me into switching. And I'm so glad she did.” Such memories make a lit- tle sister organization impor- tant to both its members and to the fraternity it supports. And the closeness found within makes being away from home just a little easier. Forrester said, “I know | can walk to the house and have friends to talk with.” @ eby Janie Tuttle Greekse 26 | One Greek leads to another Front Row: Patty Leahy, Kristen Neff, Jennifer McKeeman, Holly Fields, Kristi French, Lisa Martin, Debi Reynolds, Mischon Stigelman, Colleen Costello.

And 104 of them at that. A fraternity is a collection of men bound by friendship and loyalty. And for the 104 members of Delta Chi fraternity, their loyalty to their fraternity has meant success and lasting memories. The Ball State chapter of Delta Chi, founded Feb. 8, 1958, at the Kitselman Con- ference Center in Muncie, is a group of men with diverse in- terests and lifestyles. “We've got guys that wear cowboy boots and guys that wear loafers. We range from GQ to rednecks to homegrown boys,” junior John Kovalan, presen t IFC rush chairman and Delta Chi member, said. This diversity makes pinn- ing an image on Delta Chi a difficult task. “You really can’t stereotype Delta Chi,” senior Mike Muscle Madness has Todd Gobel, Monie Lee, Buck Martin (hidden), Randy Ross and John Mehling attempting the carry-all event. In the event the five-man team must cross the finish line, but must get there with no more than three feet on the ground at only one time. A country hoe-down act brings smiles of delight from Lory Bahney and Donna Thomas in the Greek Week Variety Show. Rahney and Thomas both represented Alpha Chi Omega in the annual event. Pease, former corresponding secretary, said. “We don’t all dress alike or act alike, like some fraternities.” Pease said that any image Delta Chi might have is a strong one. ‘It’s one of the best--even as an outsider looking in. Even ad- ministrators think so. since we haven't had any run-ins with the university,” he said. For some men, choosing a fraternity is a difficult deci- sion. But for Kovalan and Pease, Delta Chi was clearly the best. Kovalan was a spr- ing pledge in 1984 and pledg- ed Delta Chi because he said he felt at home there. “It was a family at- mosphere, and all the guys made me feel I belonged there,” he said. Pease pledged in the fall of 1983. He explained why he chose Delta Chi. “They im- pressed me _ with _ their friendliness and openness. They seemed as happy to meet me as I was to meet them.” What keeps these men in- volved and happy with Delta Chi? “It enables me to become involved and meet interesting people, and it gives me an outlet to enjoy myself constructively,” Kovalan commented. Pease felt that all 104 of his brothers have become his friends. “I know I can go to the house when I’m feeling down and have friends to talk continued eRocky Rothrock Greekse 203 One Greek leads to another Front Row: Jennifer Hayden, Brenda Edwards, Elizabeth Burchett, Toni Purvis, Maureen Horneach, Kelly Betancourt, Mark Berkley.

Delta Chi’s closeness and diverse membership con- tribute to its continuing suc- cess as a fraternity. According to Kovalan, the Delta Chi’s are involved in philanthropic activities such as the Jay Cee Winterization Project, where the brothers winterize homes of the elderly. The fraternity also raises money for Huntington’s Disease and participates in an annual canned food drive with the Salvation Army.

According to Kovalan, Delta Chi has four or five wins in the Spring Sing Greek Division, won the 1985 IFC football tourna- ment, and started one of the first alumni newsletters among Ball State fraternities. Pease mentioned that Delta Chi also had the most im- proved grades during winter quarter, had the second best grades overall, and is con- sistently in the top four or five for fraternity grades each quarter. And to put the icing on the cake, the Ball State Delta Chi chapter has been one of the top five Delta Chi chapters in the nation for the past five years. @ by Janie Tuttle Rocky Rothrock Bikers pass the ROTC building in the Bike Rally.

While devoted senior citizens ran laps around the field and coeds sat doing homework or primping, rain fell on 12 dedicated teams at the Alpha Tau Omega Powder Puff Competition to benefit multiple sclerosis. Despite mud from head to toe, these rugged women, dressed in sweatpants and football jerseys, meant business. They held serious conferences with their coaches and gathered in tight huddles to discuss strategies. The words “powder puff” evoke visions of pink, fluffy things; visions of dainty, ceramic dolls and flowered wallpaper; vi- sions of graceful ladies patting lit- tle noses with lily-white talc. The words “powder puff” do not evoke visions of scruffy, muddy knees, visions of rugged-looking women, sounds of grunting and yelling. Yet, on October 19, 1985, the words “powder puff” took on these connotations. Adding the word “football” to “powder puff” made a big dif- ference, and the difference was When the huddles broke up, the teams assumed formation, called signals and battled for possession of the famed pigskin. A stereo jammed in the background while sounds of two games going on at once filled spectators’ ears with oratory chaos. Referees’ whistles blew with every penalty, and coaches yelled instructions at quarter- backs. Fans cheered, and the usually deep, rough quarterback commands heard at college foot- ball games became high-pitched screams, nonetheless threatening. The final scene gave new meaning to the words “powder puff.” As the team members, muddy and exhausted, left the field, one lonely player followed with a dirt-smudged face and an injury packed in ice, but with a smile that could only belong to a lady. @ Phillip Ames Management Jill Anderson Elementary Education Joyce Anderson Management Lori Anderson Architecture Mark Anderson Geology Scott Anderson Art Vivian Anderson Actuarial Science Andrea Andrews Telecommunications Wendy Andrews Business Marketing Management Clement Anegbe Industrial Education Lore Lyne Apple Criminology Jennifer Armstrong Elementary Education Mark Arnold Architecture Douglas Ashley Graphic Arts Management Kristi Ashley Elementary Education Degree Candidatese269 Shari Austerman Nursing William Austin Management Susan Aysse Secondary Education Teresa Bailey Telecommunications Kevin Ballard Management Sherri Ballinger Health Education Marla Banther Natural Resources Mark Barkley Finance Aleta Barnes Nursing Ellen Barnes Marketing 2 TO eDdesree Candidates Rocky Rothrock eSquats build muscle tone and strength in the legs and are a routine part of Jeff Burns’ workout. In weight lifters’ talk, “squats’’ meant deep knee bends. by Scott Uptgrafte Twenty years ago, weightlif- ting was for large, block-headed numbsculls. No civilized person lifted weights. In fact, weight lif- ting and weight training were rarely used for sports other than football. But in the ’80s, weightlifting became useful in many sports, and for the masses it became the “in” thing to do, much like jogg- ing was in the late ’70s. Although Ball State’s weight lifting club presently includes on- ly 15 members, the number of students pumping iron increases dramatically every year. Junior Mike Jones, Yorktown, who works as an attendant at the student weight room in Universi- ty Gym, said, “There are definite- ly more people lifting this year.” Women are getting into lifting as well as the men. Weightlif- ting club member Scott Morris, Press, lift, keep lifters in shape squat Fort Wayne junior, said he likes the fact that the women are working out. Morris, who has partipated in his club’s Mr. and Miss Ball State contest twice, said, “A few years ago it was rare to see a girl lifting weights. People would think they were tomboys, but now they (females) are not embarrassed to go to the weight room. You see quite a few there.” Besides lifting at the gym, students are lifting at Nautilus. According to employee Randy McCracken, about 300 students have memberships. For the weight room novice, many of the terms or much of the jargon which a lifter must learn includes words like flys (referring to an exercise of using a dumbbell in each hand, mov- ing outstretched arms from side to front), lats (the muscle located in the upper back that gives a lifter that “V” look), burns (the sensation of muscles being on fire because of increased blood flow), reps (the number of times an exercise is done), maxes (the highest weight someone can lift on a particular exercise) and be- ing pumped (the muscle enlarge- ment that occurs during a workout). Many of the exercises budding Conans perform resemble Medieval torture chamber prac- tices. Many people are familiar with the standards, such as bench press, bicep curls and leg curls, but those wishing to develop a more defined or “rip- ped” or “cut” look must work at a number of different exercises on each muscle, including varia- tions of each exercise. The main thing to remember is that weightlifting and body- building are sports which require enormous amounts of hard work and discipline. When one sees a gorgeous body, one should remember that under that body is often a heart of gold and a will of iron. @ eTo provide bulk and power Chris Cornel must include lats in his gym routine.

Hanging near the front of the entrance to the Tally, the canvas banner was chaotic with color seemingly flung on, if not in haste in pure enjoyment. The banner was faintly reminiscent of childhood finger painting, but complex stencils gave it away as a more serious work of art. Joining in the artistic fantasy of the day, the Student Center Programming Board Musical Entertainment Commit- tee had created the canvas to pro- mote its third annual React to Art. Perhaps they used the wrong medium. Upstairs in the Ballroom the room resembled an artist’s studio, except for the small number of displays. A large framed painting dominated the room and other canvases were propped on scattered easels or leaned haphazardly against the wall. A mobile of painted ice creamicones hung in one corner, and nearby, strands of fishnet dripped from the ceiling artwork. “| walked by and didn’t even realize it was in here,” Carmela Delucio, Richmond senior and an art major, said. “There’s a lot of wild stuff over in the art department. That’s why | ex- pected to find more stuff here. “It could be the time of the quarter,” she said. “People have turned things in to their pro- fessors and haven't got them back yet. Some of these are class projects.” As the afternoon wore on, however, a few more displays came in. “| think people are scared,” Tim Howe, Indianapolis senior, said. “People come in, see what's | here and then they don’t think their stuff is that bad. They go home and get it.” | Some of the exhibits were con- | ventional, and others not so much so. One of the more im- aginative artists used dead gup- pies and toasted bread to create the piece “Fish on Toast.” The art came in every medium, water colors, Christmas paper, chalk, acrylics, film, colored pencils and glass. “| really like these pieces,” | Delucio said as she analyzed two — sculptures made entirely of broken pieces of glass bottles. “They're really different. Nobody does anything in glass around here.” | Even more pieces had appeared — by 8 p.m., when the second half of the event was slated to begin. Five bands, three of them from Muncie, were lined up to per- form. “I'm here to hear the Numbers,” Anita Swain, Muncie senior, said. “I was with London Centre this fall, and two of the guys in the band were, too. We heard one of their tapes when we were on continental tour. | know a bunch of London Centre people ' mse ALE ‘ 4 “s 5 will be here today because we all got phone calls to tell us they were playing.” The Numbers, who changed their name to Two Guys and a Bulbist, started off the five-hour jam session. At the door, the line of people in everything from black lace, leather, chains, boots and high-top tennis shoes to Lee jeans, Reeboks and penny loafers did not dwindle until 150 people had filled the room. “It's a really good atmosphere and good for 50 cents to be able to see the art and the bands,” Ann Fischer, Mt. Vernon sophomore, said. “People are being real respect- ful,” she said. ““They’re sitting on the tables, but they’re being careful to move the exhibits. It’s not a hostile environment.” As Bramble Grit member Steve Taque, an Indianapolis resident, screamed his way through the set, people began to sit on the floor. The room was black except for the occasional red glow of a cigarette in the dark, and in the back, a different kind of glow continued Gina Mays and Kate Holdcraft (hidden) discuss a work at the third annual React to Art show in the Student Center.

While th eart was the main focus of attention, the man in the dress received a great deal of itas well. Rocky Rothrock Alternative styles continued from the latest display entry. On the computer screen was a color-perfect reproduction of King Tut's gold and blue ceremonial mask. The cursor outlined a square area of the mask, and then it began to brush the screen with repetitions of the square. “It’s a new medium, but a lot of people don’t accept it,” Mark Patrick, Lafayette senior, said. “l think in France they have a museum entirely for computer art. I'm sure they do in New York. But I’m in Muncie. “T'm sure there are a lot of ar- tists here who would resent me bringing this in,” he said. “But | just wanted to bring it in to show people what's available.” A crowd gathered around Patrick as he displayed his originals, fields of repeating faces. A quarter of the screen disappeared as the printer began the lengthy task of converting the hundreds of dots per line into a picture. During the break bet- ween bands, the crowd would disperse to look at the art. The bass vibrations of the next band, however, would bring them streaming back. _The Math Bats, another In- dianapolis band, got 20 members of the audience dancing to “Don’t Talk To Me,” and it was representative of the kind of suc- cess that has resulted in their opening for the Husker Du band. Muncie’s own Singles, who can boast of a following from their previous appearances at the No Bar and Grill and Bash Riprock’s, had a very short set dominated by original tunes writ- ten by singer and guitarist Greg Moran, Carmel sophomore. Kevin Royal on keyboards and saxophone spiced up a show swamped by heavy guitar and drums. Picking up where the shouted lyrics of Bramble Grit had left off, Modern Vending used a mike and a megaphone to deliver a musical message. Singer Duncan White, Carmel freshman, tucked the hems of his frilly yellow and orange mini-dress under his under wear for a bloomers effect before jumping off the stage and slamming members of the au- dience. “Modern Vending is one of Muncie’s best new bands,” Linda Busche, Cincinnati sophomore, said. However, not everyone in the audience agreed. “The band sounded OK, but they ruined it by looking obnox- ious,” Fischer said. It was 12:30 a.m. before the last band, Atomic Butterfly, was ready to begin. The crowd had thinned to about 60, and the Reeboked and docksidered por- tion of the audience had vacated. Despite the body heat in the room, leather jackets and tren- chcoats still hung casually from slouched shoulders. “Some of them just dress to be noticed. But | wouldn’t call them punks,” Fischer said. As the artists tucked their pieces under one arm or into boxes, the pounding music had another message. The endless cacophony of sound that reverberated around the Ballroom walls said that a reaction to art never ends, but instead echoes into the world in ever larger circles of effect.@ Becky Breedlove Marketing Chris Bright Accounting Angie Brock Speech Pathology Audiology David Brooks Music Education Mark Brooks Computer Science Steve Brooks Telecommunications Helena Brown Political Science Phyllis Brown Business Education Melissa Brumback Nursing Kimberly Buckman Fashion Merchandising Degree Candidatese 75 Diane Bujak Food Nutrition Joan Bull Fashion Merchandising James Burge Marketing Political Science Frances Burger Physical Education Cecelia Burke Management Robert Burke Biology Beth Burkhart Journalism Karen Burkholder Business Management James Burnett Health Science Barbara Burris Elementary Education Dan Burton Music Education Jeff Burton Criminal Justice Kulyn Buzan Office Administration Kathryn Bykowski Nursing Diana Campbell Management Jil Campbell Exercise Physical Fitness Lucinda Campbell Business Education Pam Campbell Chemistry Bruce Cannaday Industrial Education Carol Carlz Architecture Deborah Carpenter Nursing Karin Carr Psychology Elizabeth Carrico Marketing Spanish Kim Carrier Criminal Justice Psychology Diana Cartwright Nursing Jeff Case Telecommunications Arthur Cathcart Finance Terri Caudle Journalism Edna Chadwell Social Work Janice Chalfant Social Work 2 TBedegree Candidates Bouncing beds Cruisin’ on the strip eee aS Sra) eby Butch Robbinse During the day, McKinley Avenue was busy with rushing cars and buses and students try- ing to push and shove their way to classes. But one day out of the year, McKinley became the drag strip of Homecoming. Instead of seeing funny cars with jet engines, spectators saw silly students pushing old metal- framed beds with wheels. Contestants were clad in a variety of costumes ranging from bland sweatsuits to adult-sized baby outfits complete with diapers and pacifiers. “Since we act like babies, we wanted to dress like them, and we came up with the name Beach Babies,” Lisa Nance, Windfall freshman, said. Another team, Crosley Hall Ray Shepard Cradle Robbers, had a different look and focus. Dressed in black and pushing a baby in full garb, the team was in the race because it was “fun and exciting. We also wanted to give people something to laugh about,” Jane Harlow, In- dianapolis sophomore, added. Surfin BSU, the theme for Homecoming, gave many teams ideas for costumes. Contestants sported Hawaiian print shirts and shorts in every color imaginable. “We wanted to help celebrate Homecoming, and what a better way to do it than by going Hawaiian,” Angie Mansker, New Castle sophomore and Alpha Chi Omega team member, com- mented. Besides trying to have the best time, contestants also competed for the best costume and most spirited Homecoming trophies. ePee Wee’s participants Pam Pickett, Chris Wallace and Laura Didion size up the competition at the Homecoming bed races on McKinley. With five members to a team, one member rode on the bed while the other four pushed it down the street. One team, “Life’s a Beach,” from Swinford Hall, wanted to be different when their turn came to beat the clock. Instead of going for a quick time, they went for attention. Team member Andy Benson, Richmond sophomore, placed a surfboard on the frame of the bed and stood on it as his teammates pushed the bed down the course. The team’s mascot, a paper mache bulldog, also rode on the surfboard. “We wanted to win the best costume trophy for the second year,” Benson said, unconcerned with the team’s slow time. It was not to be. The Swinford team placed second to S.S. Clevenger Hall in the men’s costume division. “Raise the Titanic” was Clevenger’s theme. Team members wore sailor hats made of newspaper, white diapers, and a cardboard ship shaped like the famous ship around their waists. When the team raced in its heat, the ships were removed. Andrew Johnston “| don’t know why we did it, but it sure is chilly out here,” a bare-chested Tim Reed, Portage junior, commented. The temperature was on the cool side, resting in the mid-50s. Despite the cold many con- testants wore flowered shorts, and some even went bare- chested. But the cold didn’t freeze the students’ spirits. Spec- tators, standing as many as three and four deep, lined McKinley to view the escapade. Pee Wee's Gang from Crosley Hall won the best costumed trophy in the women’s division. “We love you, Pee Wee,” the team members yelled as they received their trophy. The members were clad in paint- stained T-shirts, white shorts, stirrup straps and painter caps. The Gang also won the women’s division race with a time of 25.45. Menk Hall won the men’s divi- sion race with a time of 19.44. As teams went through their heats, participating sororities cheered in an effort to win the most spirited award. Chi Omega sorority chanted its way to first place and the trophy. @ eAfter the races begin all one can do is hold on for dear life and hope the team comes through. Contestants psyched up early, but in the end the winners were the strong and the swift.

One of the goals SCPB had for the Activities Fair was “to let students know what is on cam- pus and how to get involved in more activities than just studying and parties,” according to SCPB personnel coordinator, Tim Lor- man, Muncie junior. “We want students to be aware of extracur- ricular activites that are educa- tional as well as recreational,” he said. Demetrios Skalkotos, SCPB president, said more groups at- tended the fair than in past years, but “SCPB is trying to devise ways to get more people to go to the fair.” There were 32 clubs and organizations at the fair, ac- cording to Jodi Stubbs, Marion sophomore. Student Voluntary Services was one of the many groups that had a display. Janice Chalfant, SVS representative, said her organiza- tion attended the fair to make students aware of the services provided by SVS and to recruit new volunteers. Many organizations at the Ac- tivities Fair were looking for responsible students to volunteer their time. Other organizations informed students about their services, such as Planned Paren- thood and Rape Prevention. One organization, Alpha Lamb- da Delta, freshman honor socie- ty, wanted to “improve the stan- dards of Alpha Lamda Delta through social and scholastic ac- tivities,” Staci Bolakowski, Alpha Lamda Delta president, said. Todd Alexander, Alpha Lamda Delta member, said although the group was not attending the fair to recruit members, it intended to inform people about the freshman honorary organization so that students invited to join Alpha Lamda Delta would be familiar with the organization's goals. Many churches and religious organizations also attended the fair. Fred Schmitts from St. Fran- cis of Assisi Newman Center said he wanted to inform matriculating students about the Catholic Church, although his primary purpose was to draw Catholic students to the Newman Center.

Fiala gave his impressions of helicopters, jets, trains, and two people toasting each other with styrofoam cups to a Tally audience celebrating April Fool’s Eve. (Sil Sa eby Angie Fullenkampe It was five after nine and Chuck McNally, Trenton, Ten- nessee, sophomore, was worried. He left the stage of the Tally and went to the doors. He looked right and then left down the long front hallway of the Student Center. There was no sign of the audience he'd expected for the Fool’s Eve comedian. He paced near the entrance. A couple and a group of girls came in and he stopped, resting his arms and head on the wall. “This is a really slow crowd,” he said. “It’s Thursday, though, and the third week of the quarter. Maybe people have tests. And you know on Thursdays people don’t start to party until 10. “But it’s really strange,” he said. “Fool's Eve has a record of thousands of people coming.” For three years the Student Center had been the site of a traditionally care-free celebration for April Fool’s Day. The Student Center Programming Board, together with other campus organizations, turned the Center into a fantasyland of games and booths. Every edible item from cotton candy to elephant ears was available for those with a culinary turn. For the young at heart, the wedding booth was always a magnet. The goat- milking contest between ad- ministrators and student leaders always kicked off the Eve. But Fool’s Eve ‘86 was dif- ferent. “We're not having the booths and other things because of lack of funds,” McNally said. “The person before me quit and I had to take over as a committee member. They gave me a budget and it was a lot smaller than last year. The comedian costs a lot, so we decided to take a different approach this year.” At 9:15, the group in the Tally had grown to about 20. Someone kept testing the lights, giving the audience false hopes, but still the performance did not begin. McNally waited for a bigger crowd. “It seems like there’s been a lot more people here in the past,” Bill Asbury, Pendleton senior, said. “There were always a lot more activities getting a lot more students involved.” Now it was nearly 9:30, and the people gathered in the Tally wondered when the performance scheduled for nine would begin. About 50 people had settled in the booths and at the tables when McNally gave his go-ahead. SCPB’s major investment was about to take the stage. .Ed Fiala had performed on the Tonite Show, HBO and the Phil Donahue Show and had opened for Whitney Houston and the Commodores. The Tally crowd may have been smaller than his usual audience, but the large, bearded man didn’t scrimp on his performance. Much of his material he drew from his childhood near Chicago, in- cluding how he got into the business. “My Dad, we used to call him P.P., perpetually pissed,” he said. “But, no, my Dad was good to me. He gave me gifts. When | was nine, Dad gave me a microphone and an amplifier. And that’s when he started to go continued Rocky Rothrock eAfter a comedy show at the Tal- ly, Fool’s Eve celebrants dance the night away in the Student Center Ballroom.

He joked about cars, which he said was one of his favorite topics. And he wasn’t afraid to joke about his weight. “] don’t like little cars much,” he said. “I don’t fit in little cars much. I’m always telling those Toyota salesmen ‘Get me a shoehorn and get me out of this thing!’ ” Then there was the “Everyday Man’s Dictionary.” “Ground beef, that’s cattle without legs,” he said. “Acoustic? Something you play pool with. Announce? That's about 150 pounds.” But his real specialty, and the hit of the set, were his sound ef- fects. Helicopters, elephants on speed, jets, trains, two people toasting with styrofoam cups and Astro the dog were only a few he performed to the audience's great fascinati As he closed the set, he took off the fluorescent green light necklace given him by a member of the SCPB committee. He plug- ged the “Light Dance” that had already begun upstairs, telling the audi ence that the necklaces and bracelets were free at the door. And then, holding the necklace up to his nose, he finished the set. “You know what this is? So- meone from Three Mile Island sneezing.” Amid the uproar of laughing and clapping, he raised one arm, bowed and left the stage. Still smiling and laughing among themselves, the audience left the Tally. Upstairs outside the Ballroom, the table with the light jewelry was suddenly swamped. The yellow, orange and green strands went quickly. In the light of the hallway they glowed faintly. In- side the Ballroom it was another matter. The plastic ropes beamed out of the darkness from around wrists, ankles, waists and foreheads. As about 200 dancers moved to the beat of the tunes spun by dj Jeff Nichols, New Palestine sophomore, the lights seemed to have a life of their own. A mass of white helium balloons pressed against the ceil- ing to create a rounded, cloudlike impression of the flat surface. Until 1 a.m. the crowd danced in the light of a different kind of moonglow. McNally sat in a room near the dance, holding a balloon. His slumped shoulders gave away his fatigue. “I wish more people had come, but I think it went great,” he said. “I’ve heard nothing but good comments about the whole thing. Eddie Fiala was great. The dance -- the balloons and the lights -- | think everybody en- joyed that.” But now the event was over. The last of the dancers left, swip- ing at the balloons that were beginning to descend. The glow from the light bracelets on com- mittee members disappeared when the Ballroom lights were turned on. Now McNally could stop worrying. @ Mary Davey Accounting John Davis Graphic Design Lynne Dedert Management Jerald DeFord Pre-Medicine Kim DeJarnett Nursing Carmela DeLucio Art Education Jill Demaree Nursing Andrea Dennis Public Relations Mary DeVore Marketing Management Sam Dhanraj Counseling Psychology Degree Candidates 283 Dibble - Eklem __ Minnetrista provides exercise to politics (CES ES eby Cindy Barbere The Minnetrista Center: just what is it? A place of schooling? A community arts center? A political discussion arena? Ac- tually, the Center is all of those things, and more. A main attraction of the center is classes--everything from aquarobics to foreign affairs. Classes range from the practical to the pure-enjoyment offerings, with titles such as “Dealing with Difficult People,” “Music: Know- ing the Score” and “Vintage Film Series.” “We have over 16,000 people a year take part in our programs,” Dr. Carol Fisher, director of the Center, said. “We must be doing Rocky Rothrock eThe Minnetrista Center is a community center offering non- credit courses and other com- munity activities.

The success of these classes is reflected in the large participa- tion. In 1984-85, about 4,000 people indulged in special in- terest courses without the pressure of grades. In addition to the classes, the center sponsors displays of com- munity handiwork. Included in the 1985-86 exhibits was a highly praised series of “correc- tional art” created by Indiana prison inmates. “For some of those prisoners, this is the best thing that has happened to them in a long time,” Fisher remarked. As a result of the display, one inmate was offered an artist’s job at Disney Productions. In contrast to the art and class offerings, the Center also in- volves itself in serious social pur- suits. “Some people think that we always do things just for fun, and that’s not true,” Fisher said. “This year we're involved in two major important issues.” Those issues were addressed in two series of public forums. The first series dealt with three na- tional dilemmas: taxation, welfare and Soviet-American rela- tions. The series was under the direction of Tom Sargent, director of Special Programs at the Center. The second series of Min- netrista lectures was entitled “The Great Decisions.” It dealt with foreign affairs and was a local seminar for the federal Foreign Policy Association. Mrs. John Worthen coordinated this series. As if all this weren’t enough, the Center offers even more. Special exhibits are set up throughout the year, including an occasional exhibit lent by the Smithsonian Institute. In the summer, an annual quilt exhibit is the major display. And in December, special programs are run for the community, such as guest speakers on AIDS, women and health, and a wide range of other topics. Although the center functions primarily for the community, Ball State students interested in taking a gradeless class are welcome. For those who indulge, Minnetrista serves as both an escape and a chance to learn. @ } nd” Rocky Rothrock Joanne Dibble Management Information Systems Rana Dickinson History Education Cindy Diehl Management Chuzaimah Diem Elementary Education Doug Dietzel Pre-Medicine Sam Digma Economics Jill Dimick Political Science Joann Dimonte Elementary Education Kimberly Dixon Business Management Lisa Doan Geology Steve Doles Marketing Mark Dollase Architecture Susan Doran Landscape Architecture Debbie Dosch Elementary Education Jayne Doud Architecture Ann Dougherty Management Kimberly Downham Business Laurie Dozier Special Education Nancy Dragoo Home Economics Education Kelly Drayer Psychology Debbie Duff Biology Chemistry Teresa Duffer Speech Pathology John Dyman Science Education Stephanie Eaton Legal Administration Daniel Eaves Geology Kristen Edmonds Legal Administration Sandra Ege Graphic Design Todd Eikenberry Marketing Leo Eisenhutt Biology Jennifer Eklem Marketing Management Degree Candidatese 2 85 Rick Ellington History Education Jacqueline Elliott Marketing Peter Elliott Mathematics Natalie Ellison Computer Science Pedro Encarnacion Physics Mathematics Jill Engle Marketing Amy Engler Journalism Allen Epps Geology Julie Ericksen Marketing Cheri Evans English 286s decree Candidates eTerri Kohne Members of the Marimba Ensemble practice in University Hall. Although the group is not well Known, it came into ex- istence over 10 years ago. Music beats to a a different drum eby Robin Jo Millse In the music department, one group of musicians has wandered off the beaten path. While not yet widely known, the Ball State Marimba Ensemble is gaining prestige. Although the group has existed for more than a decade, it is becoming more noticeable in re- cent years, according to Dr. Er- win Mueller, the group’s director. The marimba is an instrument approximately seven feet long and waist high, made from strips of wood. When struck, it creates an interesting sound similar to ringing bells. While the sounds produced may seem unusual at first, the music is clear and beautiful. The ensemble consists of 12 to 15 students, a chosen group con- sisting predominantly of up- perclass music majors. The department does not hold open auditions for the group. Students are observed in class and “when we feel they are ready, we ask them to participate in the group,” Mueller said. “It’s a rather select group. We like to keep the quali- ty high,” he added. The number of members in the ensemble prevents the entire gr oup from performing together at once. “We sort of have teams,” Mueller explained. “Nor- mally, each student is responsi- ble for five or six selections.” During performances, members trade off, taking turns playing in small groups. The majority of students in the ensemble did not know how to play the marimba before their ar- rival at Ball State. “Many of them had exposure but learned and refined their skills here at Ball State,” Mueller said. To develop their skills, students practice their pieces alone. Then, during weekly rehearsals, the entire group spends three and a half hours pulling the songs together. The Marimba Ensemble pro- vides a diverse selection of music in its repertoire. “We play classical, a lot of ragtime, and pop,’ Mueller said. The group performs tunes ranging from “William Tell Overture” to “Maple Leaf Rag.” The ensemble plays at various university functions, such as the Parents’ Day Variety Show and the annual Christmas program. It also provides talent to area schools and organizations, and funds earned through these ap- pearances contribute to a music scholarship fund. @ eThe marimba is a wooden in- strument approximately seven feet long and waist high.

Ruckelshaus, who held several key positions in Washington in the course of his career, saw pro- gress in the fight against en- vironmental problems. “Although the concerns of the environment have been with us for decades, the movement did not begin until the late 1960s, when Vietnam was a major issue,” he said. Ruckelshaus believed en- vironmental activism was a result of color television and such books as Future Shock. “The public knew of the crisis, but it became more realistic when it could be seen in color,” Ruckelshaus said. He cited several examples of progress, such as Lake Erie, which had once been declared dead but now supports a $100 million a year fishing industry. Other areas of progress he men- tioned were the Cuyahoga River in Cleveland, which was so polluted it once caught fire, and the enactment of more stringent standards to control auto emis- sions. “We're far from being home free, and if we don't start to think we're getting anywhere, then we'll never have that level of self-confidence that is necessary to cope with our pro- blems,” Ruckelshaus said. The former Hoosier also served as one of 22 members on the World Commission on Environ- ment and Development, which is expected to report to the United Nations in 1987 on major issues of population and resource deple- tion, as well as pollution. “Those who are looking for answers to our problems will have to wait until 1987,” Ruckelshaus said jokingly. @ eRay Shepard eAs part of the Ball State Univer- sity Student Association lecture series, William Ruckleshaus gives his views about the na- tion’s environment.

As a new station, KZ 105 had many positions to fill before beginning operation. A radio station needs disc jockeys and writers to produce adver- tisements and programming for its listening audience. Set in a college town with a permanent population of low-i ncome students, WOKZ had little dif- ficulty finding willing, talented people to operate the station. The combination of a new sta- tion and the “poor college stu- dent” proved beneficial to both WOKZ and three Ball State students. Of the lucky hirees, two of three students, Stan Atkinson, Muncie senior, and Rob Bren- nan, Muncie junior, work as disc jockeys. The third, Thom Gulley, Carmel junior, works as a copywriter for the station. Brennan discovered the job through “an ad in the T-COM building on a bulletin board. | sent an audition tape and a resume,” Brennan said. He then did “a little personal selling in an interview and got the job.” Atkinson, or Stan Atkins as he is called on-air, went through the same basic routine as Brennan. “| sent a demo tape and resume and was hired from that,” Atkin- son said. Although he did meet with the station manager, Atkin- son said he “never did have a formal interview.” Gulley, who won the first an- nual David Letterman Scholar- ship, said he went to the station manager to apply for a job as copywriter. ‘I was playing my tape of commercials when Kirk Ray, the station manager, reach- ed over and stopped the tape,” Gulley said. “He told me | had the job.” Gulley also said he got the job the day before he received the Letterman scholarship. Brennan works the midnight to 6:00 a.m. shift on weekends. “There’s not really a whole lot it consists of but being a DJ,” Bren- nan said. “I also keep up on the latest on weather and entertain- ment for people who stay up all night.” As copywriter, Gulley has to write “all of the commercials and obtain approval from the sales people for the copy.” He added that he is responsible for assign- ing DJs to do production work for commercials. A college student working in any job loses precious personal and study time, not to mention sleep time. Sacrifices and changes in lifestyle must occur to work and get through school. “It’s not easy,” Brennan said. “| work three jobs. | work as a DJ at the Chug an? I work at WBST.

Eager souls crowded through the door in an effort to forget the stresses of college life, loosen up with a few beers, and meet new people. But first, they were met at the door by a flashlight-aided ID check and a $1.00 cover charge. Though most were eager to get past these preliminaries and into the action, few were happy about the door charge. Randy George, Indianapolis senior, was one opponent of the everyday cover charge. “I don't think they should have one,” he said. “They'd get more people.” Bill Wilson, Muncie graduate student, agreed. “Why pay to hear music, unless it’s a live band?” he added. Village’s Chug gets a facelift Despite the one setback, more and more students joined the crowd inside the most popular bar in the village as the night progressed. Some settled around dimly-lit tables near the entrance; others were drawn straight to the bar, where they wedged themselves between other bodies to hail the bartender and place their orders. Most patrons found tables near the dance floor--or, more typical- ly as the throng grew, con- gregated around wooden railings and posts nearby where they stood and eyed the crowd. Those being watched were mostly the ones who ventured onto the floor to dance under red, blue and green spotlights to the beat of the spinning records. A quieter, emptier room at the back offered refuge to those with more competitive interests. Here, a football game, three dart boards and two video games were set in- to a bright, rustic atmosphere. An old, unused bar lined one wall, while wooden booths decorated with thick rope arrayed another. As students drifted between the back room and the more popular dance-and-bar area, several ex- pressed their reasons for frequen- ting the Chug. For some, like Wilson, the main reason was that it was “close to home.” Dennis Wood, Anderson senior, also cited convenience and a “nice at- mosphere.” George was more specific. “The Chug is a great place to socialize and meet a lot of dif- ferent Ball State people,” he said. “And, it’s a great place to show your style.” Wood was also drawn by changes made in the bar the year before. “It’s a 180-degree tur- naround from what it was before,” he said as hundreds of tiny, white lights above the dance floor reflected in his beer. “It’s not the poolroom Chug anymore.” @ eThe majority of any _ bar’s business comes after 5 p.m. and as aresult many afternoons area quiet scene at The Chug.

For being America’s longest- lasting fad, blue jeans certainly don’t have an impressive defini- tion. But they started as pants meant to be worn by workers in the fields and have evolved into the widest range of styles im- aginable. These are the 80s. It’s the nuclear age--diversity reigns. So jeans aren't just jeans anymore. Denim abounds in jackets, vests, Styles change but blue jeans endure hats, shoes, shorts, shirts, dresses, skirts and even sweats. And don’t forget the basic, down- on-the-farm, Osh-Kosh overalls variation of denim. But the true spirit of denim still lives in good old blue jeans. First, you have your basic Levi's 501 buttonfly denims for the real American; these are everyone's favorite. Just coming back from a long hibernation, their popularity has risen with America’s newly found patriotism. They claim to shrink to fit to anybody, are extremely comfortable, are not too expen- sive, and go with virtually any shirt or top. Next, you have your bootleg variation of the 501. This style is for the cowboy (or cowperson, for you liberals) in all of us, but it is worn by few because so few real cowboys still exist. Made wider in the leg, these jeans will cover any boot they’re paired with. Although designer labels are “fading” as a popular style of jean, they are worth mentioning if only because some die-hard | Calvin fan out there still may be : clinging to his first pair of these | expensive denims. Blue jean designer labels include names such as Calvin Klein, Jordache, Gloria Vanderbilt and Sasson, and prices run from around $30 to $60. These traditional designer labels are quickly being replaced by, shall we say, “new-wave” styles. Back pockets of these jeans bear the brand names of Gasoline, Guess, Fiorenza or Helium, and they may be pur- chased in some of the more ex- clusive fashion outlets. These jeans are worn with anything from hot pink “Franky Says Relax” sweatshirts to dainty, white eyelet blouses. As the 20th century wanes into its last 15 years and America regains its pride and patriotism, blue jeans continue as the most essential piece of clothing in every real American’s wardrobe. May Lady Liberty be redesign- ed, carrying a piece of apple pie in one hand, holding a baseball in the other, waving a flag that says “Buy American,” and wear- ing Levi's 501 buttonfly denims. @ eThe style of the year in blue jeans was Levi’s 501. However, students’ tastes and opinion were never unanimous’ and some students were as firm in their dislike of the style as others were in their demand for it.

Jenny Whitney, a Greenwood junior, tried out for the part of Charlie when she was a freshman, and she continued her role as a sophomore and a junior. “| dressed up as various types of birds in high school for plays just for fun and really enjoyed it,’ Whitney explained.

Bust,” she said. “Also, | attend cheerleading practices and work with different organizations in the surrounding community, like Big Brothers and Big Sisters.” During the past two summers, Whitney attended cheerleading camps with mascots from other schools. “We have a lot of fun at these camps and really learn a lot about a crowd and how to gain their attention,” she explain- ed. The costume Whitney wears is her biggest disadvantage. It weighs about 70 pounds and can raise the temperature con- siderably. As a result, playing in 75-degree heat can make Whitney feel as if the temperature were 120. “The heat is the biggest disad- vantage,” Whitney said. “Also, | see through Charlie's teeth, so I’m unable to talk while I’m in the costume. “Another disadvantage is that many people feel that it’s a man’s role,” but, she said, ‘I feel that all you really need is spirit.” Whitney, nevertheless, enjoys the honor of her role. “I enjoy being able to travel and meet so many people,” she said. “| love to get the fans excited and interested in the game, too. | usually joke around with the band and do stunts with the cheerleaders to get the crowd fired up. When we're losing, there's no enthusiasm and it’s hard to get the crowd going,” she said. “My favorite thing about being the mascot over the past years is the crowd recognition. They know my name is Charlie the Cardinal and not Jenny Whitney,” Whitney said. “| feel it’s not who is under the costume that is important, but how much spirit you can achieve through portraying the character and how much support you give to your school.” @ eAndrew Johnston Bonita Houze Telecommunications Eddie Howard Criminal Justice Tim Howe Telecommunications Jeff Hoy Management Tim Hubartt Biology Nancy Hughes Criminal Justice Rhonda Hughes Accounting Lisa Hullinger Telecommunications Kim Hulsman Education Brad Hummel Finance Richard Humphrey Industrial Technology David Hunnicutt Mathematics Education Susan Hunnicutt Elementary Education Barb Hunter Elementary Education Julie Hupy Special Education Janine Hurd Interior Design Allen Hurke Architecture Janice Hyndman Art Jeff Iden Elementary Education Diemroh Ihsan Applied English Linguistics Jim Ingelhart Social Studies Education Markus Ishaya Industrial Education Julie Jackson Elementary Education Firdausah Jami Telecommunications Najma Javed Physiology Lee Ann Jennings Accounting Christina Jensen Dietetics Mary Jessup Home Economics Sharon Jiskra Graphic Design Barb Johnson General Business Administration Degree Candidatese299 Greg Johnson General Business Administration Julie Johnson Journalism Kip Johnson Computer Science Lynda Johnson Elementary Education Pam Johnson Secondary Education Tom Johnston Management Jason Jones Marketing Terry Jones Management Business Administration Stacia Jordan Medical Technology Susan Justice Elementary Education 300 -desree Candidates Pierced ears a sign of how times change eby Janie Tuttlee Ah, the earring. A tiny, inex- pensive piece of jewelry. Inno- cent enough. But isn’t it amazing how much hubbub such a sim- ple gadget can cause in our society? Earrings have become a new fashion and political statement. They've become so important that society has even devised a series of unwritten rules govern- ing their tasteful use. For example, more than one per ear has become cliche. Also, one earring is fine but only for men. And earrings any larger than your face are definitely un- cool. Another sign of the earring’s significance is the earring manufacturers’ obsession with creating new styles. Wandering through the accessory section of any fashion store, one may easily come across earrings ranging from nude, three inch baby dolls and black plastic terriers to hot pink Zoro signs and huge designer gems. Anything goes in today’s styles. The earring craze has caught on in all ages and both sexes. Tiny babies are wearing tiny earr- ings; women over 60 are wearing heirloom earrings handed down to them. Men are wearing them now in the forms of feathers, crosses or diamonds, and many stores sell single earrings just for the male market. The future of earrings is quite stable, but other “rings” are mov- ing in on the scene.

Kram Hitmse Although March 15 produced grey skies, the Irish spirit and the wearing of the green dominated as hundreds of onlookers turned out to see the second annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade. This year's parade capped off a week of festivities to promote community pride. In keeping with the traditional Irish style, Grand Marshall Carey donned a green tophat and blazer as he led the hour-long parade. The parade began at Walnut and Wysor streets and wound through the streets of downtown Muncie entertaining throngs of curbside viewers as it trailed the lead of a police escort. The Muncie police’s mounted patrol even got into the Irish act, coloring their horse’s manes and tails with water-soluble green vegetable die for the occasion. To the delight of the many children who watched the parade, Joan Merrick, Miss Ball State 1986, threw bubblegum and penny candy to the crowd of young ones as she ruled over the parade from atop a white conver- tible. The parade was Merricks first official duty as Miss Ball State following the resignation of Mischon Stigleman. Charlie the Cardinal (junior Jenny Whitney) also added a spirited splash to the parade as she was escorted through the streets by several huge leprechauns. The crowd cheered the men in green who did their best to hide their true identities as Ball State defensive linemen. Onlookers applauded as the Murat Shrine Patrol executed synchronized maneuvers on their little moter scooters as a troupe of Anderson bag pipers blew a bit of Scottish flair through the air. Although the true extent of the city’s Irish population is not known, everyone who witnessed the parade became a part of the unity fostered by the city and its employees, neighborhood associations, political candidates, the schools and bands and all the residents who took part in the parade. In this way, although few may be Irish by birth, the loving spirit of Ireland’s favorite saint lives on.@ Se RE aU FE me ree tt ie ie 88 ne ee 2) Vp ye th ee ee ee i Rocky Rothrock eln her first official duty as Miss Ball State, Joan Merricks enjoys the parade from atop a white convertible.

In order to help students, the center has a room eTerri Kohne Body temperature is taken from the end of a student’s finger and monitored during sessions in the Biofeedback room in _ Lucina Hall. specially designed for bio- feedback and relaxation purposes. The entire relaxation process is very simple. First, the student or faculty member is placed in one of the two large reclining chairs. Then, the skin temperature is taken from the end of one finger. Blood pressure may also be taken. After these steps, the subject listens to an audiotape which ex- plains how to relax the muscles. The instructional tape starts by telling the person to first tighten his leg and feet muscles and then to slowly release the muscles. This process is repeated up through the entire body until every muscle is relaxed. “It's not unusual for people to fall asleep the first time they hear the tape. We just go wake them up at the end of the hour. Later, they'll get to a point where they can repeat the relaxation process on their own,” Daly stated. Audiotapes are also available for such things as taking tests and giving speeches. Hypnosis has been ex- perimented with in the relaxation room but is not used often.

The peo- ple near the equator were dark; the people near the poles were light. Then an entrepreneur in Arkansas created the B booth, and suntanning was never the same again. People went crazy over a quick way to a “Coppertone” tan, and students at Ball State were no dif- ferent. “| feel like | look better with a tan,” Mark Dale, Hagerstown junior, said. “I look healthier and feel better. When I look pale | don’t like it.” Improving looks was the most popular reason to explain using tanning facilities, but other students had it recommended by a doctor to improve their com- plexions or to build up sun-burn resistance before Spring Break. “It takes me a while to tan,” Dale said. “I went before break so | wouldn’t burn.” For those students north-bound during Break, tanning booths and beds provided an alternative. “I'm going because | didn’t get to go to Florida,” Adrienne Elliott, Muncie freshman, said. “My friends are dark, and I want to be dark, too. You don’t see a dark guy walking down the street with a girl who’s pale.” Pale has left its porcelain im- age behind for a sickly connota- tion. The days when women shaded their complexions under parasols and hats are gone. Tans have become the fashion despite incomplete medical evidence linking skin cancer to over ex- posure to certain ultra-violet rays. “| believe it’s true that you can go blind from the rays,” Trina Beeman, a member of the staff at Hair Designers in the Village, said. “You just have to be careful and wear goggles.” As with most new products, tanning facilities have not existed long enough to confirm what side effects may surface from the use of tanning salons. “The Food and Drug Ad- ministration has said there is no proof backing the theory that you can get skin cancer fromisuntann- ing,” Jim Fanyo, owner of Tani- que, said. “If you suntan every day for 25 years you may be more susceptible to skin cancer. That’s what they said.” Fanyo said his greatest concern was not over skin cancer but over the popular use of beds rather than booths. “Stand-up is quicker. Ten minutes in the booth will give the same result as 45 minutes on a bed,” he said. “It’s also cooler and you're not pressing your skin against something somebody else has just sweated on.” B booths were followed by A booths and then tanning beds. The booths, created for commer- cial use, were undercut by tann- ing beds marketed at lower prices for home use. The price tag on beds made them more popular for businesses and the potential customer, Fanyo said. The average bed session ran $2 but the booth’s average cost is $3. “Beds are against what the business started for,” Fanyo said. “People thought ‘I don’t have time, it’s too hot, | get burnt. | should be mowing the lawn or washing the car. Let’s turn those hours into minutes.’ With beds you're getting right back to laying out again.” The bed surfaces can get very hot, and accumulated sweat is eliminated by cleaning solutions. However, Fanyo said not all businesses are so meticulous and some people may be allergic to the solutions. “T'm just waiting for the day that somebody will sue somebody else,” Fanyo said. Most federal regulations limiting the use of tanning equip- ment have placed liability on manufacturers rather than the owners, although the government has specified a few operating rules. “Most people don’t have any Senior Diane Calvert works ona insurance because the business is suntan at the TLC Tanning Depot so new insurance companies in Muncie.

They put on a great Homecoming Show, that is, but only 1,000 people viewed the spectacular event. Starting the show was Ball State’s Gina Wantz, of Muncie, singing “My Funny Valentine.” Wantz earned the right to per- form after winning the Homecoming Talent Search. Then, taking the stage was Rich Hall, notably known for his creation of Sniglets, “words that should appear in the dictionary, but don’t.” A sniglet is a word such as “expresshole,” a person who enters the express lane with more than eight items. Another sniglet, “cineplegic,” refers to those people who prop their feet up in movie theaters and then can't walk because their feet have gone to sleep. Hall, a regular performer on HBO’s “Not Necessarily the News” and on NBC’s “Saturday Night Live,” has also been a writer and a performer on “The David Letterman Show,” for which he won an Emmy Award. Performing after Hall was Liv- ingston Taylor, the younger brother of singer James Taylor. Taylor, whose style is lighter than his brother's, charmed the audience with songs such as “Jacques Cousteau,” “The Big Bang,” “Grandma's Hands,” “I’ve Got My Pajamas On,” “I Will Be in Love With You,” “Over in the Soviet Union,” and “Railroad Bill,” which received a rolling response from the audience. After filling in between acts, comedian and juggler Michael Davis returned for his time on stage. Davis used juggling to demonstrate his unique style of humor. He juggled everything from apples to bowling balls. The Ball State Homecoming Steering Committee couldn't have done a better job in selec- ting these performers.

Asbury, a senior physics major from Pendleton, did work in astronomical research for the physics depart- ment. Astronomy center searches heavens eby Janie Tuttlee Walking through Cooper Life Science Building, it is possible to go past the door without so much as a second glance. Few students are even aware it exists, much less know its location. What is behind this mysterious door? It’s the Astronomical Research Center. It is not, as the name seems to imply, a secretive organization of astronomers striving to discover the working order of the universe. The Astronomical Research Center is composed of astronomy pro- fessors who study the stars to up- date information already recorded. The center is not involved in the theoretical aspects of astronomy, associate professor of astronomy and major advocate of the center, Thomas Robertson said. Instead, he said the professors gather in- formation of “astronomical statistics for observational use....It’s not an educational source. It is for astronomy research.” Although the center is not well k nown on campus, the idea for it is not new. As far as research goes, the department has “always had a research center of sorts,” Dr. Thomas Jordan, assistant professor of astronomy said. The data was formerly divided up between different offices in the astronomy department. The center itself, however, is only a recent establishment. “It’s relatively young,” Jordan said. Established in 1984, the center's title is just a fan- cy name to hang on the office somewhere, Jordan said. The move into the new office was mostly for convenience and efficiency. Work was previously done in individual offices and a remote little lab in the basement. Jordon said, having all the material centralized in one office makes the task much simpler. The actual observations are not made in Muncie. Extensive studies need to be conducted on a com- pletely dark sky. Even on a clear, moonless night, the city lights make it difficult to see faint stars. The department conducts studies and collects data from all over the world. The two facilities used most are those at Kitt Peak, near Tuc- son, Arizona, and in more recent years, the observatory in Cerro Tololo, Chile. One obstacle encountered by the department is that they must schedule time at the observatory at Kitt Peak far ahead of the time of the study. Jordan said they schedule time “six months ahead of time before we can even do any kind of observational-type program.” There is no guarantee this time will be of good star-gazing quality since one cannot predict the weather that far in advance. Much of this precious time could be lost to cloudy or rainy nights.

Jordan said most people think astronomy is a “glamorous profes- sion...and they have the idea of astronomers being at elaborate telescopes all the time.” However, since he came to Ball State in 1983, Jordan says the department has only spent about three of four weeks at the telescope collecting data. The re- maining time is used to “see what information we can actually derive out of the data collected.” Most of the center's work is on the small, cool, red dwarf stars and the positional data on stars. The stars being studied are in the celestial equator, which is visible in both the northern and southern hemispheres. Jordan said there is little being done in the area at this time and basically they are filling in the gaps of existing information. A considerable amount of the work is accomplished with the aid y Dale Westrate of a computer. “We us® computers in almost every aspect of our research,” Robertson said. “Probably half the work we do is computer related.” A program is written for the desired information and the com- puter does the rest. Jordan said the work can be done manually, but the computer does t he same work in a fraction of the time. Once the data has been analyz- ed, it is published for use by others who need the information but are unable to do the actual research. It can be published in reference journals, such as the Astro-Physical Journal and the Astronomical Society of the Pacific. The center has already had one paper published with some of the unusual things the center has found, Jordan said. Although the center is not preparing for “Star Wars,” its technical name may intimidate people, but “We're just doing research on astronomy,” Jordan said. @ ¢Computer printouts of the stars pose no problem to Jodi Hamilton, a senior in accounting and computer science.

Ball State’s Campus Lost and Found aids those of us who are outstanding at losing things. It has been rumored that it is run by a group of mothers--mothers of freshmen in particular--but this is just not true. Located directly behind the Student Center, Campus Lost and Found is run by Alpha Phi Finders keepers at lost found Omega, a national co-ed fraterni- ty. Alpha Phi Omega appeared at Ball State in 1947 but became in- active in the late 70s. They started the lost and found in the early 70s. When the organization reformed in 1982, so did Campus Lost and Found. President of Alpha Phi Omega Robert Fleener, Speedway junior, said they receive about 25 calls a week from people who have lost things. He said the most com- mon lost items are eyeglasses and books; however, some rather unique things have been en- countered. “During the first week of school we had a pair of tennis shoes and an entire bag of clothes lost when someone was moving in,” he said. “The weirdest thing we ever had was...this blue and white dolphin, like the kind you see on those kiddie rides at department stores. It had ‘My name is Lisa’ painted on it. It was never claim- ed.= When making a claim at the Lost and Found, a student must give an accurate description of the item before it will be sur- rendered. “We have a filing system,” Fleener said. ‘It’s pretty organized. We don’t just bring out a bunch of jackets and let so- meone just point one out and say, ‘That one’s mine.” Items not claimed within six months are donated to places such as Goodwill and the Delaware County Children’s Home. Most of the things people turn in are insignificant--hubcaps, gloves, keychains. The organiza- tion obtains most of its lost items by going to different buildings around campus and checking with department secretaries or employees at Bracken Library. The number for all disoriented and confused students to call is 285-LOST. Who knows?

As freshmen, many students are unsure of what they want to do after graduation but think they must choose a major. A major advocate of the minors option is Dr. Darrell Wi- ble, professor of telecommunica- tions. Wible informs his T-COM students of the benefits of multi- ple minors but says it benefits people in almost any area of study. “| think a liberal arts cur- riculum with a broad foundation, learning everything you can about anything, can contribute to the kind of person which would be equipped, at an entry level, to enter the job market,” Wible said. Double minors are without any major Wible said he first heard about graduating without a major through conversations with ad- visers. Curious after learning about this option, he questioned professionals in news, broad- casting, sales and management as to what they would advise regar- ding majors or minors, whether to specialize or generalize. The majority of these people said they didn’t look for specialists. They wanted employees who could perform well in several areas. Of course, double minors are not meant for everyone. No mat- ter what field of work students enter, employers are looking for certain qualities. They look for people with good, basic com- munication skills. “Come out with those elements of learning how to read, write, speak and think,” Wible said. “That's what they are looking for.” Another reason double minors can be beneficial is because students are often unsure what they want to do with their lives. “When you are twenty years old, you don’t know what you want, you only know what you like,” Wible said. “You like those things which you've already tried. You don’t know whether you like something or not if you've never done it. “But once you get involved in it,” he said, “you can say, don’t like this.’ You ought to be in a situation where you can turn around and do something else which won't drastically change your life. “That's my basic reason for feeling that if it’s a liberal arts curriculum... you ought to know as much as you possibly can about essentially everything,” Wible said. Although some students have chosen the double minor route, others have stumbled into it. At the beginning of Spring Quarter, 1985, four seniors went to Wible with what he called a “curriculum crunch.” The four men had not planned their cur- riculum and, in their last quarter, were unable to get classes necessary to graduate with a ma- jor. _ “The logical thing to do with them, since they already met the requirements for a minor, was to _ shift them to a minor,” Wible said. “By shifting them to a minor, they could take other courses and still finish their degree and be graduated on time, without having to stay an expen- sive quarter over. “If they're going to make the schools expensive, we ought to get you out of here as quickly as possible,” Wible said. @ | Rocky Rothrock eAmong the university’s graduates are a few students who do not have a major course of study. It is possible to graduate without a major if a stu- dent completes all the re- quirements for two or more minors.

Pizza is as much a part of Ball State life (well, almost) as Bracken Library, Benny and par- tying on Thursday night. A look around The Village and the Ball State area would easily confirm this. A look in the Daily News would also support this. Many of the newspaper ads give deals like free beverages with the purchase of a p izza, one or two dollars off, or maybe a free topping. It's no secret the residence halls are the biggest consumers of this collegiate cuisine. Unlike their off-campus counterparts, the residents usually lack the facilities and the refrigerator size SE KT to eat what they want when they want it. Residents also must endure dining service, so pizza becomes their salvation, especially during A.P.M.T. (After Party Munchies Trauma). This condition usually occurs on weekends after mid- night and 12 to 14 beers. It is characterized by a craving for pizza so intense that a check written for $8.95 will be given to the delivery man when the stu- dent has 67 cents in his checking account. Another characteristic of A.P.M.T. becomes apparent when the pizza first arrives. In most in- stances, when the box is opened it is obvious the pizza is very hot. Students suffering A.P.M.T. recognize this--sort of. Actually, they just don’t care. A burned roof of the mouth is usually discovered upon waking the next day. When examining the current pizza power struggle from a social-political-economic perspec- tive, it is important to be able to classify pizza vendors. In the True College division, Dominos, Greeks and the new challenger, Flying Tomato, are the contenders. In the Fringe Operation division (these are the vendors who are just outside of campus but still have a semi- collegiate image), Little Caeser’s and Bernie Lee’s Pizza dominate the market. The last division could be call- ed the “Real World” division. This means that many of its patrons are from Muncie or are “real people,” not college students. But don’t be in- timidated. Anyone may go to these places on a date or when they feel capable of acting civiliz- ed. They include Pizza King, Piz- za Hut, Noble Roman’s, God- father’s and Shakey’s. @ ¢Dale Westrate ¢Dale Westrate eA student’s house served as pizza parlor for Todd Tucker and Dave Broady.

Once inside, she walks down the long corridor to her locker and pulls out a long case containing her bassoon. This is a frequent evening ritual for Lafayette senior Carolyn Byers and many music majors like her. Most students’ days end with their last class. Byers and other majors are not as fortunate. With music lessons, classes and rehearsals to attend, their day often doesn’t end until after midnight. Setting priorities helps Byers and other music majors get through the day and somehow still have time to study. “Budgeting time and setting priorities are the key to it all,” Byers said. “You play a psychological game with yourself. Learning to say no is hard to do, but you have to have self-discipline.” Byers, who is an area music education major, added that for the most part music majors tend to live in the music building. “The majority of my friends are music majors, but that is because we see each other every day. It's like high school, seeing the same people all the time. Each one of us pulls for each other.” That comradery shows in the Coke lobby, a favorite hangout for many of the music students. With its long row of benches ar- ranged next to various vending machines, it is an area often fre- quented to pass time between classes or practice sessions, or just to get away from the daily grind. There is little time for a social life, however. “] savor the weekends,” Byers said. “It gives me time to catch up on my homework.” Her day begins at 8 a.m. with classes until 5 p.m. There are night classes to attend as well as meetings for Sigma Alpha lota, the university music honorary where Byers is chaplain. There is also choir practice in Anderson as well as other rehear- sals to attend on campus before the day ends at 10 p.m. and homework begins. Besides responsibilites for Sigma Alpha lota, Byers plays baritone in the marching band and bassoon for the Ball State Symphony Orchestra. Occa- sionally Byers also performs on the contra bassoon for the Mun- cie Symphony Orchestra. “You learn to live on little sleep and at the same time also cope,” Byers said. But at the same time she said, “| see pleasure in music. It was really the natural thing to con- tinue in music since | come from a musical family.

A king clearly ahead of his time, Muncie Mayor James Carey topped off his 16th century fashion statement with a pair of 20th century black loafers. The ninth annual Renaissance Fair transformed downtown's Walnut Street Plaza into an open air market. Artists, craftsmen and cooks came to display a variety of goods from floral head wreaths to hand-thrown pottery. Food ran the gamut from the slightly medieval “Wing of Fowl” (chicken wing) served in a brown paper cone to the popular pastry elephant ears. To wash down the delights, one might have chosen tea, fruit drinks or ale, but soda was no where to be found. The fair’s sponsors, striving for authentici- ty, asked vendors not to sell soda, but to offer fruit beverages which were more typical of the period. Serious Renaissance shoppers found they had a lot to chose from. For the child of a noble, a $300 rocking horse hand-carved from a single block of wood might have made a nice gift. For those on a budget, pottery, woven goods, candles and an assortment of dried flowers and herbs filled the plaza. A fair of any kind wouldn't be complete, however, without entertainment. The fair’s featured performer, the Indiana Brass Quintet, supplied soft musical pleasure. The highlight of the fair, however, was the Human Chess Game. Dressed in red and green, two teams used a giant chess board placed on the courthouse plaza to do battle. Spectators also witnessed the fair’s attempts at plebian humor as the crowd saw what was billed as the first electrocution (a hair dryer dropped into a bucket of water), and a shouting match from the king and queen. But a final surprise was in store for noble chessmen and peasant bystanders alike. As the festival closed fairgoers witnessed a scene from the future -- as all the king’s men climbed into a Honda and drove away into a fading sunset. @ ¢Dale Westrate - Dale Westrate Four-year-old Ashley Morgan looks apprehensive during the Human Chess Game.

Although some stories fade with the passage of time, one ghost story sure to survive the ages is that of the haunting of Elliott Hall. Elliott, one of the oldest buildings on campus, stands as a monument to Frank Elliott Ball. Ball, a student at Harvard, was killed in a plane crash while in college. His family built the hall, a replica of Ball’s dormitory at Harvard, in his memory. Following World War II, many soldiers returning from the ser- vice decided to continue their education. One such student was a young man named William Schamberg. Schamberg fought in the war and was lucky enough to come home alive. However, he was in- jured in the war and was left disabled and severely disfigured. Upon his return to America, Schamberg had difficulty ad- justing. Because of his ap- pearance he found it difficult to meet people and he had few friends. He sunk into a deep depression. On the evening of Jan. 26, 1947, Schamberg climbed the stairs to the library on the fourth floor of Elliott Hall. There he strung a rope across the high oak rafter and hung himself. Following Schamberg’s suicide, rumors and superstitions arose among the residents of Elliott Hall. Tales of Schamberg’s restless spirit roaming the halls of the building spread among students. Schamberg’s tragic tale and stories of the haunting of Elliott Hall continue nearly 40 years after the infamous event. Claims of ghosts still circulate throughout the dorm. One tale known to most Elliott residents involves an eerie, late- night disturbance reported by two women “a few years ago.” The students said they were lying in their beds late one night when they heard some-one rattling the doorknob. The knob shook several times and suddenly flew open. The door stood open several seconds then slammed shut. The women were startled. After the shock of the incident wore off, they slowly approached the door. One of the women turned the knob and tried to open the door, but it would not budge. The door was just as they had left it when they went to bed. It was locked. The tradition of the Schamberg ghost lives on today in Elliott Hall. Residents take pride in their hall’s haunting. In fact, the Oc- tober 1984 Indianapolis Monthly listed Elliott Hall as one of the 10 scariest places in Indiana. Some people laugh at Elliott's tale of ghosts, but some Elliott residents are still reluctant to visit the library alone, especially at night. The hall housekeepers also believe in the haunting. The residents have heard that some housekeepers refuse to go to the fourth floor alone. The tradition of Elliott Hall and the pride in the haunting by - Schamberg continue to be hand- ed down each year to the new residents of the hall. Residents, whether they con- fess they believe the tale or not, are wary. Students are known to watch and listen carefully during those long, cold, windy winter nights, waiting for the return of Elliott's most popular tradition, the ghost of William Schamberg. @ °On Jan. 26, 1947 William Schamberg, a disabled veteran and student committed suicide by hanging himself from one of the rafters in Elliott Hall. To the present day, rumors _ that Schamberg’s ghost wanders the hall persist.

This was done several times during a time limit until a winner was declared. Truly interesting, to say the least. The sky grew dark and the evening air began to leave a slight chill amidst the crowd that had assembled. Cheerleaders began to warm the crowd with various cheers before the football coach, Paul Schudel, gave a short speech asking for everyone's support for the big game that Saturday.

A few felt the area had become too quiet to suit them; they turned on boom boxes to jam to various tunes. By the next day, I was only a mass of smoldering ash as my smoke bellowed across the deserted field. So came an end to my part of Homecoming--a part that is considered a tradition and will once again become a “ritual” next year.@ Brad Sauter Angie Sweet Mathematics Education Ray Swift Computer Science Linda Taillon Journalism Scott Teagardin Criminal Justice Theresa Tebbe Office Systems.

Smock, who described himself as a member of the Christian Ministry U.S.A., and a self-pro- claimed prophet, proselytized from the Scramble Light during a day of preaching around campus. Smock’s inflammatory com- ments didn’t end at hell. Women who wear short shorts are whores, he said, and all homo- sexuals should be killed, he claimed. The annihilation of homosexuals was justified be- cause at times one had a moral obligation to kill, he explained. “Murder is unjustifed killing,’ he said. A student asked if that wasn’t the same as saying that homo- ) sexuals weren't human, com- paring the preacher to Hitler. “Hitler did some things right,” Smock replied. Smock, who is known to make an appearance at the Scramble Light each spring, inflamed stu- dents with his rhetoric. Sin is the cause of all evil he said, but add- ed that he was without sin. The author of Who Will Rise Up? Smock filled his street cor- ner sermon with rousing vign- ettes about the immorality caus- ed by the failure of college stu- dents to repent. His exhortations demanding that young people abandon their “evil ways” resulted in a hurl of cat calls, profanities and insults from the students who gathered to hear the controversial prea- cher. Although his brand of religion isn’t expected to make headway on campus, Smock can be expec- ted to return next year, an unwa- vering moral figure among a community of believers in in- tellectual and moral freedom. @ Tracy Weber Social Work Teresa Wedmore Aquatic Biology Muriel Weeden Counseling Psychology Michelle Weiss Actuarial Science Linda Wells Management Jack Welter Accounting Robin Wemhoff Telecommunications Nancy Werblo Physical Therapy Tracy Whan Health Science David Wheat Psychology Marketing Degree Candidatese DOD Becky Whitlow Fashion Merchandising Carmen Whittington Fitness Specialist Erin Wiese Finance Janice Wilkins Environmental Health Science Lauri Williams Elementary Education Dawn Williamson Elementary Education Loretta Willits Accounting Susan Wilson Music Education Jeff Wineinger Biology Beth Winzenread Deaf Education 334 edesree Candidates Festival brings world to campus RRND EE by Diane Kennedys Excited voices wafted on the air, competing with a Latin American conga beat and the underlying rustle of brightly- colored silk. “Selamat Datang,” exclaimed a sign in the Malaysian booth. The English translation: “Welcome” greeted visitors to International Festival ’86. For two days, April 6 and 7, the Student Center Ballroom was transformed into a showcase of customs and traditions from countries represented by Ball State’s international students. Sponsored by the Office of Foreign Student Programs and organized by the students themselves, the extravaganza hosted a world of cultures in one small room. Kirk Robey, assistant director for Foreign Student Programs, said planning for the event began over a year ago, when the Ballroom was reserved. “Serious planning began last fall,” he said. Reminders were sent to students in October, and they in turn wrote home and to their embassies to acquire the necessary information and display items he explained. Booths assembled around the perimeter of the Ballroom boasted trinkets and artifacts from Laos to Egypt, Africa to Panama, Belgium to Saudi Arabia. A Sunday night talent show featured performances ranging from a Korean Fan Dance to the recitation of a poem from West African student Burkina Faso. Students eager to share their knowledge of homeland heritage and peoples spoke candidly with visitors. Malaythong Phansavath, of Laos, performed a Laotian flower dance in the talent show. She ex- plained that the dance is called Jamba, after the national flower of Laos and explained about Keane, a reed-like instrument which has existed in her country for nearly 2,000 years. “Laos is the only country that uses this instrument,” she said. Joaquin Maldonado, a native of Puerto Rico, said Latin culture has prevailed despite the fact that Puerto Rico is a United States commonwealth. Maldonado told about legends surrounding Coqui (pronounced ko-kee), a tiny tree frog about one inch long, native to the island. According to Maldonado, Coqui survives only in Puerto Rico. When removed from the island, it perishes. Named after the sound it makes, Coqui hide in moist, dark places during the day and emerge at sundown and after rainfall to perform a melodious song. Chuzaimah Dahlan Diem, an Indonesian student from South Sumatra, explained that her homeland includes thousands of islands, hundreds of languages and is a predominantly multil- ingual population of 115 million. She explained that although Batik garments are popular wear today, they are indigenous to Sumatra where the national costume consists of a Kain (skirt), a Kebaya (top), a Selen- dang (a cape-like garment), a sash and a hairpiece called a Sangdul. She showed figurines that she said are representative of the transportation in her homeland. One, a horse-drawn vehicle, is called an Andong. Another resembled a bicycle mounted behind a small carriage. This one, a man-powered vehicle, is called a Becak, she explained. According to Robey the inter- national festival had many more different cultures represented than in previous years. He said the festival provides students with the opportunity to share cultures. Just as American students are given the chance to learn about the cultures of their international counterparts, so are the international students provid- ed the opportunity to learn about each other. Robey also said that this year many non-international students, including some of the members of Alpha Mu Gamma, were in- volved with the program. According to Robey, sharing the homeland experience was what International Festival ’86 was all about. @ eSudanese graduate student Sayed A.

Kram Hitmse While students at home were basking in the sun sipping soda, those who stayed on campus were warned to carry muffs to keep the sound of drills at bay. The warning came in light of the construction expected on Wen- dy’s Old Fashioned Hamburgers, the new Student Center restaurant. Professional Food Service Management, the operator of the Tally, lost $80,000 during its first year of operation and the consen- sus of student opinion showed a strong preference for a fast-food Wendy’s to come Center type of restaurant. Wendy’s was selected as the new restaurant after months of discussions and proposals from fast-food companies, according to Bruce Morgan, director of the Student Center, who was inter- viewed by the Daily News Wendy’s was chosen because it offers a wider variety of items on its menu and can expand the menu, Morgan said. The restaurant will also offer a snack line and drinks, chips, fruit and pastry will be available. The hours for the new restaurant will be 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 7 a.m. to midnight Friday and Saturday, and 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday. The hours are similar to those of other Wendy’s restaurants, Renovation was set to begin July 1 and be completed by Sept. 1 when the restaurant was scheduled to open. Morgan said the same color scheme will be used and m ost of the existing furniture will be retained. Because of the change in con- tracts, Residence Hall Dining Ser- vice will provide catering service in the future. It is expected that some students will be hired to work at the new Wendy’s, but other employees will be used to run the business during vacation breaks and finals weeks, Morgan said. @ eWhile it didn’t seem possible in July to believe work on the new Wendy’s restaurant would be completed by the Fall Quarter, construction was in_ full-swing throughout the summer.

Marc d. Pesetsky Bike or bomb— parts is parts Sponsored by the Student Foundation, the bike auction raised $1,555.50 for student scholarships. The bikes were abandoned property and were supplied by the Office of Traffic, Safety and Security. Some of the bikes were as good as new and had simply gone unclaimed by their student owners. “Often a student ‘borrows’ an unlocked bike, rides it across campus, and ditches it. The owners fail to report it missing and then we have to sell it as abandoned property because we can't identify the owner,” Capt. James St. Meyer said.

Black said the money was a good invest- ment because “Schwinn Varsity is one of the better Schwinn bikes.” On the cheaper end of the scale, Matthew Beehler, Rensselaer senior, paid $5.00 for a single-speed girls’ bike that could truthfully be called a “rust bomb.” Beehler called it “a classic,” and said with good humor, ‘It’s a Renaissance bicy- cle.” Beehler’s roommate surveyed the situation and said, “Those are car tires.” Senior Allen Herke, Evansville, went home with the largest haul of the day. He paid $1.00 for seven bicycles. Herke didn’t want to buy any of the bikes; he just wanted the quick release feature off of one of the frames. But the auctioneer kept adding another bike to the lot, trying to get so- meone to bid $5.00 on the various frames. As the auctioneer stacked frame on frame, trying to get a bid, Herke finally offered a dollar and Farmland auctioneer Max Wagner quickly ended the sale, proclaiming it “the best bargain of the day.” Herke said he would take all . : | the shifters, brake cables and other usable parts off the bikes and “trash whatever's not good.” Debbie Schmucker, Zionsville senior, purchased two bikes for $17.50, one of which was in working order but needed a new seat. “It saves a lot of hassle,” she said. “I didn’t want to bring my good bike down here (to cam- pus). The second bike my brother can fix up, and I'll pro- bably give it away.” At the start of the sale, the Stu- dent Foundation had 88 bikes, about a quarter of which were not in working order or were good only for parts. Mark Satterthwaite, Muncie senior, said that it “was a good haul making $1,500.00 for scholarships in two hours.” “We were here at 10 a.m. in case anybody would identify one of the bikes as his stolen or miss- ing property, but there were no claims on them,” he added. At 12:05 it was over and the last frame had been sold. Max Wagner had effectively auctioned the property quickly and with good humor. Although many students came early to scout out the best of the ten-speeds, which sold for bet- ween $25.00 and $50.00, from the looks of the faces in the crowd of 200, few went away disappointed. @ eFarmland auctioneer Max Wagner takes a bid for a men’s ten-speed on the block as he scans the crowd for other buyers.

If there’s anybody on a frequency would you come back please with your location and your power output,” Rick asked. “Marker 28, on 67, at about 23 watts,” Sonny answered. “T’m on low power, around ten watts I suppose, and you know where I’m located at, the southeast part of town,” Bill replied. Rick is a college student. Son- ny is an independent businessman who repairs elec- tronic organs. Bill is retired and spends most of his time at home. But all three have one thing in common. All are radio hams, amateurs who operate radio sta- tions. Junior Rick Dubbs, a junior high math and science education major, has been interested in ham radio for almost as long as he can remember. His interest, along with that of several other students and faculty members, led to the formation of the Ball State Amateur Radio Technical Club. According to Dubbs, he ap- proached Marvin Rosenman, ac- ting chairperson of the depart- ment of architecture, with his idea when he learned Rosenman was also a radio operator. Rosenman became the faculty adviser. He knew of an empty room in the architecture building, which became the so- called headquarters for the club. Rosenman and Dubbs spread the word about the newly formed club over the air waves and on posters all across campus. Then, slowly but surely, interested hams began trickling in. According to Dubbs, most universities have amateur radio clubs. And they provide a valuable outlet for students, as well as amateur operators. The Ball State club offers a message relay type of service to all students, or anyone else wan- ting to use it. They can send messages throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico free of charge. In-state locations can be reached in as little as 20 minutes, with more distant loca- tions taking up to two days. Dubbs went on to explain that the service can be useful for students if, for example, they forget something at home, need money, or just want to send a birthday or holiday message. It’s cheaper than a phone call, and in most cases is faster than a let- ter. As for the operators, the club gives them a chance to practice their hobby and stay in top form. In this way they are prepared to handle emergency situations when other means of com- munication are unavailable. A station is necessary on campus for students who can’t bring their equipment with them and set it up in their dorm rooms,” Dubbs said. “And there are even some landlord pro- blems, so even off-campus students can use it. “| just wanted to get something going to get the station set up, for students to be able to use it while they're here, and to get the word o ut a little bit about the university,” Dubbs said. According to Dubbs, past at- tempts have been made at Ball State to begin an amateur radio station. In February the club members were still waiting for approval of their station’s constitution, and Dubbs was in the process of ac- quiring available funds for future operation of the station. “This station will make a go of it,” he stated, “as it shows that there is a need for it and that people who have an interest ex- press that interest.” © eA ham radio operator receives a message from Rick Dubbs from his station in the Architecture Building.

Something made us believe the pilot knew we were trying to reach his landing site. Period- ically, he would lower the balloon near a clearing as we panicked to find the road that would take us to that field. As soon as we found the right road, he would pull the balloon’s cord, filling it with more gas, and float away. It was a serious cat- and-mouse game. Once the car was south of Muncie | realized we were not the only aficionados following the balloon. Other cars were on the hunt. My friend Blanche spotted a van hitched to a big trailer and informed me that it was in radio contact with the pilot. After blindly chasing the balloon for almost two hours, we elected to follow the van. It was almost 8 p.m. I needed to get back to the newsroom to meet a deadline, but since it was getting dark, | knew they had to land soon. A short while later the crew in the van pulled onto Highway 3, heading still further south, toward Mt. Summitt. After a couple more “false alarms,” where the balloon lifted itself higher into the air, continu- ing its southward journey, the van made an abrupt turn. It pulled onto a small lane running behind a canning factory where there was a good size clearing. The balloon had just landed and the pilots had a lot of work to do before total darkness set in. When we reached the scene,we found several other carloads of admirers had made the trip from Muncie to follow the balloon. One grandfather held his grandson up for a perfect view, as other children ran around the gondola as the balloon deflated. As | took pictures, Blanche went after the balloonists’ names. A friend is useful to have when you're shooting film on deadline, but after our five-hour ordeal, Blanche doesn’t go feature hunting with me very often anymore. As for me, I am grateful my friends still put up with me, especially when they get trapped with me until 11 p.m. following my assignments. @ eJenny Flowers Melissa Harrison Freshman Lori Hart Sophomore Valerie Hauck Freshman Elizabeth Headley Junior Denise Heilman Sophomore Bobbie Heller Sophomore David Henderson Freshman Eric Henderson Junior Sharon Henriksen Freshman Tabitha Hicks Sophomore Jim Hiester Freshman Judy Hines Junior Scott Hoagburg Junior Jane Hollabaugh Junior Kristy Horn Junior Lynn Irwin Freshman Kristina Jacobson Junior Amy Johnson Junior Alice Jones Freshman Lisa Jones Junior Kevin Kalley Junior Karen Kelley Sophomore Kim Kennedy Freshman Richelle Kennedy Freshman Sandra Klem Junior Rebecca Koester Sophomore Scott Kramer Freshman Gerri Kuehr Freshman Bryan LaFollette Freshman Lora Lamb Freshman Undergraduatese 49 ie _ Lancaster : McKinney —_ : Shari Lancaster Sophomore George Launey Freshman Jim Leisure Junior Coleen Lepper Junior Ellen Levihn Junior Sarah Lightfoot Freshman Jane Linville Freshman Dorothy Ly Junior Jameelah Madyum Freshman Chris Majeski Freshman Dale Westrate eAnnouncer and program specialist Lisa Beard checks and loads a tape at the station. Beard was a senior telecommunica- tions student. 34.6 Undergraduates Small market radio fuels big dreams (re Sk SET eby Angie Fullenkampe The office was quieter now. No one hummed a refrain while searching the shelves of the record library. No one sat ham- mering out a story amidst the double row of typewriters. Only the AP wire in the corner occa- sionally rattled off its own kind of tune to interrupt the strains of Schubert. Over it all one student board operator watched, alone with the panels and turntables behind the glass plate window of the WBST radio booth. “This is only my third shift,” Steve Rouse, Shelbyville sophomore, said. “When you start, you get the night shifts, what they call low risk and high gain. It’s acceptable to make mistakes, and we get experience while it doesn’t hurt the station too much. They try you out before you can get on the payroll.” The hands-on tryout was open to any student, but it was only part of the entry process. To reach that stage, student volunteers had to take a 10-week course and score at least 80 per- cent on a test over procedures, equipment and WBST policies. “We try to facilitate the talents of the students,” Bruce Haines, program manager, said. “We recognize that nothing beats on- air experience, so we're willing to take calculated risks. We teach them how to handle Plan B’s--- how to keep something going on air.” The preparation for working the board prevented many foul- ups, but it didn’t always keep the board operators from worrying about them. “] spent the first half of my shift getting re-acclimated,” Rouse said. ‘It gets my adrenaline going. | ask myself ‘Am | queued up on this reel? Do | have this record ready? What would happen if this tape broke?’ I still worry about what to say between breaks, and | wonder if I'll freeze. “But everybody makes sure you know what's going on,” he said. “They make you feel com- fortable because they've been through it too.” Eight full-time staff advise the students on aspects of running a station ranging from producing news stories to securing under- writers to publishing a program guide. “If we had to do it all, we'd probably be in the obituary col- umn,” Haines said. “Students aren't just a nice idea academically; we couldn't do it without them.” WBST employed 15 students as board operators, news writers and taping technicians, and 30 others consistently volunteered their time. “And this is not open to just T- COM students,” Haines said. “We have journalism and business majors in the news department. We're trying to work more with the School of Music to help deliver the information on the air. It makes us sound that much more credible.” Other students to benefit from experience at WBST had majors in political science and sports in- formation. continued Lisa Malchow Sophomore Lisa Mannering Junior Kryket Mars Sophomore Teresa Marshall Junior Kelly Mathias Freshman Terry May Junior Kim Mclntire Freshman Julie McIntosh Freshman Deborah McKay Freshman Mitchell McKinney Freshman Undergraduatese 34 r( Clarice McMillan Freshman Yvonne McNally Freshman Mark McNeal Freshman Kendra McNorton Sophomore Debbie McReynolds Junior Gretchen Melichar S48 eUndergraduates Sophomore Lisa Melton Sophomore Diann Meneilly Junior Debbie Meyer Sophomore Monica Mika Sophomore WBST radio continued “These students had a chance to contact business leaders and rub shoulders with more promi- nent sports people,” John Althardt, assignments director, said. “Students were sent to cover the Colts and the Indy 500, for example. It gives them the opportunity to do things they wouldn't normally do.” Students involved at WBST earned money and gained real work experience prior to gradua- tion. Some had other motiva- tions. “Tm an English major,” Rouse said. “I’m interested in writing, and I know | can’t expect to go right out and make money. It'll be a nice avenue for me when | graduate.” Rouse swiveled back into posi- tion in front of the panel, sliding the yellow headphones into a comfortable position over his ears and clearing his throat. His hands on the right sliders, he spoke softly into the mike. “This is listener-supported WBST, celebrating 25 years of service. Now for you we have Bache: In the newsroom, a sheaf of paper gathered under the AP wire. Board operators were re- quired to check the wire every 15 to 20 minutes, tear the news into segments and place them on the appropriate pegs. Throughout the station the music played so the operator could monitor the broadcast, but any foul-up would mean at least a half-minute delay while the student dashed to the booth. As Rouse pored over the NCAA scores coming over the wire, a longer than usual pause in the music gave him a start. “Sometimes | think they do this stuff just to give board operators a heart attack,” he said. The music resumed and Rouse relaxed. Back in the booth he checked the panels and the record queued up on the second turntable. All was well. Another shift was almost completed, and WBST’s tradition of quality in public service continued. @ Dale Westrate eChief news reporter Terry Cof- fey takes a call with his eye on the clock.

Like it or not, this task must be tackled -- and tackled with success. One of the major barriers against success is finding a suitable place to study with an atmosphere conducive to learn- ing. The first thing to pop into the minds of most students when they think of studying is Bracken Library. Many undergraduates who need peace and quiet opt to haul their books to Bracken for the evening. Lori Davis, a freshman from Portland majoring in nursing, considers the library a must for her study habit. “I have to study in the library. It’s quiet and | need it quiet to study,” she said. A side attraction at the library is the 24 hour study lounge. A person can walk in any time day or night and there one can see the die-hards: the coffee-drinking, cigarette-smoking studyholics. A majority of this select group are upperclassmen who are deep into their major classes and find it a necessity to keep long, late hours to graduate. Other students find the library an uncomfortable setting and full of distractions that lure the mind away from the business at hand. “| don’t really like to go to a neutral territory to study. I'd rather be comfortable,” Steve Morley, LaPorte junior said. “I hate the library. All I do is look for books that have nothing to do with what I'm studying, or I watch the elevator doors open.” Students who don’t choose the library as their study place usual- continued Rocky Rothrock Dale Westrate eDorm rooms are a_ favorite repose of those who claim there is too much noise in Bracken Library. Good posture was not, however, an essential ingredient to some. students’ studying habits. eA tree on the Quad provides a back rest for a student reading a text. For those who couldn’t stay awake, the lawn was an equally good place to doze.

Residence hall lounges were another haunt for students in search of a place to study. Dale Westrate Mom may have begged for us to sit up straight, but few of us took her advice to heart. Some students simply found it more comfortable to read in bed than to do the same at a desk. Studying places continued ly choose the homefront, the residence hall room or an apart- ment. The comfort of home of- fers many advantages to students’ studying state of mind; they may prefer having silence and solitude, listening to music or the television, or just being com- fortable. Tom Weisenbach, Indianapolis senior, said he needs total silence and solitude. “It has to be real quiet. No talking, no music, and I have to be alone or | will talk,” Weisenbach said, but ‘There’s no place on this campus one can study without music and talk- ing.” On the other side, some think the library is too quiet, and they need background noise to study. Whether it’s the stereo, televi- sion or other people, some students need sound or activity around them. “I study in my room. | have to have the televi- sion on because | need noise around me,” Beth Wolford, Portland freshman said. Another reason for choosing the privacy of one’s room is the comfort and safety of being at home. ‘I like to study in bed or some place comfortable,” Frank West, Indianapolis junior said. However, sometimes one can get too comfortable when study- AlMAAAAA AAdddsd AAA dads dale ing. “I like to study while laying on my bed, but | usually end up falling asleep!” Lisa Wheeler Anderson junior, asserted. Lounges in residence halls also prove to be popular and frequent study places. Whether it’s an afternoon at General Hospital, prime time with Bill Cosby, or Late Night with David Letterman, students can almost always be found in the lounges. The problem with this habit, however, is the eye trouble often developed by these students from sitting for hours with one eye on a book and the other on the screen. Some students break the tradi- tional study habits and forge on to greater studying possibilities. During the warmer months, these trendsetters can be seen around campus. In spring, some students enjoy the novelty of the return of warmer weather by plopping down with their books under a tree. Another popular spring study place is on the residence hall lawns. Any time of year, students can be seen reviewing notes on the bus, or reading a textbook at Mugley’s. The possibilities are endless. @ Kelly Reyome Freshman Karla Rheinscheld Freshman Chris Richards Sophomore Anita Riehle Freshman Patricia Robbins Junior William Rodgers Freshman David Romary Sophomore Michelle Rouse Sophomore Thomas Rude Freshman Amelia Ruppert Junior Undergraduatesed 5 3 ___ Sample - Thompson Stacy Sample Junior Tony Schafer Junior Jeannie Scott Freshman Karen Seger Freshman Christine Sharp Sophomore Mary-Pat Shettle Sophomore Julie Shirley Sophomore Kristine Shupe Freshman Cheryl Sims Junior Melissa Slone Freshman Desta Smith Sophomore Gilbert Smith Junior Leo Smith Freshman Mark Smith Sophomore Jeffrey Springer Freshman 3 BA ctndersrdiates Brains bowl it out for the pride of it by Mark R. Smithe Fingers tapped gently, eyes were glazed with a look of despair, silence filled the room. Contestants realized with each passing second they were taking a greater risk. The essence of the moment was contemplation. Suddenly, eyes focused with a look of success, and hands mov- ed rapidly. The essence of the moment was speed. Pride was at stake and each team wanted vic- tory. On the far right side a light glowed and a buzzer rang. Spill- ing forth with excitement came the words “Mt. Pisgah.” The question was: “Where did Moses die?” With questions rang- ing from sports to history to Ball State lore, it was a contest of facts. It was the Honors College Trivia Bowl. The annual event, sponsored by the Student Honors Council along with Botsford and Swinford Halls, offered students an op- portunity to display their knowledge. This year's event had six teams of four members each participating in the single elimination tournament modeled after the Sunday afternoon TV show “Brain Game.” Countless questions found their way into the competition and forced students to search through the avenues of their minds for the correct answer. With each question, the scene was repeated again and again. After the preliminary rounds, Team | (senior Eugene Wall- ingford, Greenfield; freshman John Lee, New Castle; senior John Rose, Indianapolis; and freshman David Romie, Fort Wayne) and Team 4 (sophomore Eric Farnsworth, Kingston, Wash., and sophomores Don Kolezak, Valparaisio; Gary Stroh, Fort Wayne; and Steve Jones, Peoria, Ill.) found themselves in head-to-head competition for the title. Each team had advanced to the championship round with relative ease. As the contestants took their places with their respective teams, laughter drifted slowly away and was replaced by looks of seriousness. Each contestant’s pride was on the line as the match of intellects began. When the championship round started, it was evident that neither team would dominate the final round. Question after ques- tion was answered correctly and both teams had difficulty building a lead. Heading into the bonus round, the teams were separated by only a few points, and the title was up for grabs. Sitting nervously, the con- testants were now able to con- verse with one another before giving their final answers to the judges. Nevertheless, each team knew the match was on the line. “To celebrate Indiana’s accep- tance into the Union, Indiana Day was declared in February of 1925. On what date did Indiana become a part of the Union?” emcee Keith Johnson, Cloverdale junior, asked. Silence filled the room, fingers tapped, and eyes appeared to gaze off into the distance. Time was running out when a light went aglow and the buzzer sounded. “December 11th” was blurted out, and the correct answer carried team | to the top. Wallingford, Lee, Rose and Romie found themselves in first and earned the pride of the title, Honors College Trivia Bowl champions. @ rit eBotsford and Swinford halls host the Honors College Trivia Bowl.

Penzias, the vice-president of research for AT T Bell Laboratories. Penzias was honored with an honorary doctor of science degree from Ball State May 8. The conference featured workshops on micros on campus in the school, distance learning, televised courses and teleconferencing, and planning and change in the information age. While few students, if any, paid the $75 fee to attend the conference itself, they were able to see exhibits and state-of-the-art equipment from AT T, Sperry, Apple, Xerox and Reuters in the Student Center during the con- ference. While the completion of the Ball Building may be a long way off, through the exhibits students got a taste of the campus’ future in the information age. @ aa. bbins Undergraduatese 3 5 7 LEADS TO e
