1 reshmen, sopho- mores, juniors, seniors ... it doesn ' t take long to discover that we are in this together and that we are most brilliant when helping others to shine. UMB MiMjam ure, the grind is diffi- cult but there are al- ways a few spare hours to spend to make things happen, education is the cake, but participa- ti on is the frosting. WLUHfnomn , owerful and swift as lightning bolts, the Coyotes flash down the slopes and across the courts to fry their oppo- nents in skiing, basketball and tennis. (See the sports section for details.) hearty roar of ap- proval as the bon- fire flames leap up- ward, warming the chill evening air and dancing on the encircling ring of faces. I r; ,; ometimes, in order to get things going to ignite the fiery in- tellect, a few sparks have to fly first.

' W the alpine squad had been racing at mt. hood the previous four or five days in an effort to qualify for u.s. nationals, the group met the rest of the team in marquette michigan. 350 schools and nine regions were present for competition, chances for the coyotes duplicating last year ' s feat and win- ning the combined alpine nordic title, were slim, boston college was said to have a strong team; so did Colorado state university, in addition, the northwest teams from Oregon state and the university of pudget sound, were good bets for an upset. three of the men, seniors greg wilson, scott troyer, and dan brizee have skied their limit, in the process, they have had an experience they will each remember long past the thoughts of tests and lectures, they will know they have what it takes to be champions. 44 ■ Snow Bound! the coyote women ' s team faired well in the competition placing two in the top ten. sara wells and carin Stevens showed their cunning and currage, placing third and seventh against the powerful bobcats of central oregon. another strong showing was karen meissner skiing sixth place, nora Constantino from reno surprised the team by placing ninth in the second race she has ever run in her life, their efforts captured third place in the endurance event and third in the meet. 45 IAJ the college of idaho ' s women ' s basketball season ended feb- ruary 23. the coyotes finished their season 9-12. lynn crossett, head coach, was pleased with the season, particularly the last half, and. looks forward to a strong team next year. c. of i. played nnc in nampa, february 8 and lost 79-71. lerna thames had 22 points, followed by barb silver with 19, and kris major with 10. at half time the score was tied 39-39, but the team couldn ' t put it together to win. February 9 the coyotes hosted csi of twin falls and lost 69-63. according to lynn, it was a good game, but could have been better, down by 4 with one minute, 27 seconds to play, col- lege of idaho could have won but threw the ball away. the team went on the road to montana the 12th. they played montana tech in butte and won 61-53. kim jones had 13, kris major had 10. college led most of the game and reduced turnovers. the coyotes hosted eastern Oregon state college from lagrand on february 16. down by 12 at halftime, the coyotes came back to win 75-62. they out-scored the opponent 52-27 in the second half, lynn commented that the team tried too hard the first half, then calmed down the second half, barb silver was 11 46 Successful Second Half for 12 from the free throw line and was instru- mental in the comeback, she had 19 total points, lerna had 23 points, kirn jones had 13 points, and julie padelford had 11. college of idaho traveled to Spokane on febru- ary 22 and lost to gonzaga by 30 points, lynn said that they were avenging their earlier loss to c. of i. and that they played very well, kim jones was out two minutes into the game with a sprained ankle. for the first time in six years, c. of i. beat whitworth 68-66 on the 23rd. lerna had 37 points in that game; julie padelford had 9. kim jones was still out with her ankle injury, but karla baver and terri mosher both did a good job coming off the bench. lerna thames has been quite an asset to the college of idaho athletic department this year. lerna is a freshman from imperial, California, where she was the athlete of the year in 1977 and 1979. several times this year lerna was named all- northwest division III honorable mention under the player of the week heading, then for the week of february 12th, lerna won the award player of the week. c. of i. lost both games that week: 79-71 against nnc and 69-63 against csi, but lerna led the team with 45 points, 24 re- bounds, and seven assists, she scored 22 points against nnc and 23 against csi. lerna also was 4th in scoring in the division that week, she had an average of 19.7 points per game, up to and including the week of february 12th. it wasn ' t enough that lerna as a freshman got player of the week once, the following week she again captured the honors, in the three games that week c of i beat montana tech and eastern Oregon state college and lost to western montana. lerna had 62 points, 31 rebounds, and 12 assists, she pumped in 23 points against mon- tana tech and eosc both, and made 16 points in the western montana game, lynn crossett, head coach, conjectured that one reason lerna was noticed by the division was a phenomenal 37 point effort against whitworth. lerna was picked for the region 9 division III all-regional team. 47 48 Volleyball Team Overcomes Inexperience October 4th concluded the pre-season activity for the coyote team inland valley league play began with a game against northwest nazarene college in nampa. don braunecker, the volleyball coach, expressed his appreciation for the tremen- dous support the college community has shown and he hopes that students will continue to support c. of i. athletics; not only for team morale, but for the morale of the school as well. about the recent losses the team has suffered braunecker remarked that youth and experience are the biggest reasons in the game against boise state September 28th, the c. of i. girls lost by a narrow margin, it was an exciting 2 Vi hour match that lasted all five games, braunecker said that he wasn ' t disappointed in the playing at all. bsu hosted a tournament in which the coyotes beat tvcc, but lost to boise state, at one point in the bsu game, c. of i. ' was ahead 11-4, but boise came back to win. braunecker re- marked probably the biggest thing in the boise game was poor coaching. braunecker went on to say that there is a lack of leadership on the floor, and that ' s something they have to work on. braun- ecker has been happy with the bench support and substi- tutes, my substitutes have been playing up to my expecta- tions and i ' m verv pleased with that. he said that attitude on the team is good and the girls work very hard, he described them as the best team i ' ve every been associated with. he is also pleased with the well-rounded players he has. many of the girls are active in several other aspects of college life and many of them have high g.p.a.s. one important asset on the team is a high level of communication between the team members; also between the team and braunecker. coyotes traveled to pullman, Washington, to participate in the Washington state tourney, c. of i. won three matches and lost two. at pullman they played better than they had all season, lasting all five games in the two matches that they lost. on november 10, the c. of i. team participated in the eastern Oregon state college tourney in lagrande. the coyotes lost the first two matches but won the third against o.i.t. coach don braunecker said he was extremely happy with the girls he coached this year, he said that improvement was consistent and he described the season as gratifying. he looks forward to the 1980 volleyball year as very competi- tive with an older and more experience team. 49 the college of idaho men ' s tennis team ended its season with a strong 3rd place showing in the treasure valley community college tourney, and a 7-9 over-all record. members of the team, in ranking order, were mark heleker, chet wood, dave guyot, ted Stanley, phil dougherty, andy loyst, and kevin taylor. making great strokes for the j.v. team were graydon Stan- ley and dave spurling. of the nine men four will not be returning: Stanley, taylor, spurl- ing, and heleker. despite illness and injury, mark heleker had a good season, and along with team mate chet wood, ended the season with an invi- tation to district play on the 9th and 10th of may. the results of the competition were disappointing to the pair, and they re- turned non-victorious. 50 Tennis Season Turbulent •WW WW • ' r • Iv ll 51  !? I Hid n! ■H - - jH ..- I Time And Injury Hurt Wo mens Team!! ib s ■ «• -a  ■• • the college of idaho women ' s tennis team had a disappointing season, due in part to injury and scheduling prob- lems, members of the team were mona tucker, kelly rose, renee rem- brand, shane rose, nancy mcintosh, wynn beers, rose igitol, sam Constan- tino, karin najarko, and toni bondi. despite a strong individual showing by many team members (rembrand won all but two in her 3 position) the season ended with 4 wins, 7 losses. in the doubles department, mona tucker and kelly rose competed well for the first half of the season; then the pair split and tucker - rembrand finished with strong placements. although it is not necessary to qualify in order to attend regional competition, coach nadine maggard and lynn crossett felt that the time and money necessary to go to the competition would be better used building the program. according to assistant coach crossett, the season was a bit of a disappointment, we just didn ' t do that well; we just didn ' t play up to our potential. of the team members eight will remain to provide the nucleus for a stronger more experienced 1981 team. 51 imnrmm e Intramurals Closet Athletes Shine!! the intermural program for this year had many different sports and activities to offer the college of idaho student, the activities provided fun, competition, and a release from all the tensions of school, the tournaments that chet wood and mark preston, intermural directors planned for the year were tennis, co-ed flag football, fun-runs, pool tourney, frisbee golf, 3 and 5 man basketball, volleyball, skiing and co-ed Softball, the intermural directors did an outstanding job and many students participated n and enjoyed the ac- tivities. 53 the college of idaho basketball team this year began witha col- lection of inexperienced new- comers and ended the season in the running for state cham- pions, although the c of i beat northwest nazarene on their home court for the first time in a long time, nnc took its re- venge by bouncing the coyotes out of first place in the annual tip-off tourney after brilliant play by the c of i gave them victories over notre dame college and hawaii. that last game was a heart-breaker with the coyotes finally going down in overtime and losing by only one point. members of the team include from bottom left, marvin mumm, trainer; jim grigsby, grant sheperd, ricky alien, tod sulivan, eric bizzard, and mike dawson, manager, top row left, willy muniz, asst. coach; ron- rico hawkins, ron achenbauch, steve manten, gradon Stanley, gary coleman, dan sims, arthur mcfadden, asst. coach scott michaelson, and coach richard carrow. 54 Hot Shots !! STAFF C Of I President William C. Cassel Resigns!! The College of Idaho President William C. Cassell announced today that he has resigned his postion at the C of I to accept the Presi- dency of Heidelberg College in Tiffin, Ohio. Cassell will leave the C of I effective this sum- I was approached by Heidelberg and feel honored to have been chosen President of another outstanding liberal arts college. This summer I will have served six years as Presi- dent which is considerably beyond the aver- age tenure of a college president today, Cas- sell said. I have enjoyed serving The College of Idaho and am grateful for the strong sup- port that I have received from the Board of Trustees, the faculty and staff, the students and alumni, and the many friends of the Col- lege, Cassell continued. When President Cassell came to the college in 1974, it was experiencing serious financial dif- ficulties. During his presidency at the C of I Cassell has consistently worked to maintain a balanced budget, while reducing consider- ably previously incurred debts. Presiden Cas- sell has achieved a national reputation for his work at The College of Idaho. The Board of Trustees deeply regrets Presi- dent Cassell ' s decision to move on, noted Robert Smylie, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the College. He has done an out- standing job in the Presidency at The College. His talents will be missed. Mr. Smylie went on to explain that the board will institute a search for a replacement in the near future. Cassell has served on numerous national com- mittees. He is consultant to the Ford Founda- tion. He is author of numerous articles and is co-author of the book The Case for Deferred Giving. In 1979 he was selected as one of the 100 Outstanding Young Leaders in America Higher Education. Among his many accomplishments at the C of I was the planning and implementation of a four-year baccalaureate nursing program to start in the fall of 1980. The family and myself leave with many fond memories and friends in Idaho which we will always cherish, Cassell said. It has been a privilege to serve such an outstanding college as The College of Idaho. lee lenuson secretary to the presi dent. 58 The End Of An Era. 59 Administration 1. Arthur S.

The College of Idaho has changed, matured and grown in stature during the ninety years since its establishment. The change has been gradual and constant unnoticable from day to day, unmistakable in retrospect. The personality of the college is a compos- ite of all the personalities which, for a brief span of time merge and form a unique whole. The trail has attempted to freeze a fleeting moment when the special people captured in its pages were together: when they were the College of Idaho. It is not an easy job. The outcome is never good enough. But it is our sincere hope that each memory we did manage to capture will trig- ger a thousand more in the minds of our readers and that through the 1980 trail these memories will endure. 112 %
