The act of change perpetually inexorably occurs in an institution that desires to keep pace with the de- mands of the people that it serves. An educational institution, such as East Tennessee State University, feels demands from multitudinous and multi-varied areas. It experiences V ETSU-an educational in- tion with a quiet and beautiful ing. world that is always demanding more and more knowledge, and as faculty work to stay abreast and research new endeavors. It is also a perplexing experience as employers look for graduates with expert-like book knowledge but also common sense to solve problems already existing or which are yet to be created. In arising to meet the changing needs and demands, a university re- sponds by altering and improving its abilities to supply educational experi- ences for those desiring such. As Tol- stoy has said, The evolution of knowledge proceeds by truer, and more necessary knowledge dis- lodging and replacing what was mis- taken and unnecesary.

CATHLEEN SULLIVAN Orientation and registration are two major con- cerns for students at East Tennessee State. Whether one is just beginning or almost through, the student is affected in one way or the other by the two processes. Beginning freshmen in recent years have had the advantage of orientation sessions at the school in the summer before their first quarter. 18 Orlentation This year ' s orientation sessions were July 9, 23, 29, and involved scime 90 percent ot the 1977 freshmen class. Staffs of the dean of students, and admissions and records office coordinated each program, with the purpose of such orientation being to gi e par- ents and students opportunities to meet adminis- trators and become acquainted with Johnson Cit and the East Tennessee State campus. Each dav began with a continental breakfast in the ballroom of the Universit Center followed b a general assembly, with speakers such as President Arthur H. DeRosier, Jr., Student Government Asso- ciation President Pennv White, and various deans and facultv members in the Center auditorium. Em- phasis was given to good things happening at ETSU with involvement stressed. Coke breaks followed the general assemblies, followed by assemblies of men and women in sep- arate sides of the auditorium for presentation of college life do ' s and don ' ts b the deans of men and women and other administrators.

A lunch provided by the University was followed by meetings with advisors and registration in each student ' s major department. Identification cards, the magic carpet for everything at ETSU, were also made during the day as each former high school student became a college student overnight. Registration at East Tennessee State has changed drastically over the years, evolving into a unique system tor the Johnson City campus. Prior to the 1970 ' s, any student planning to enroll at ETSU would first make an appointment for regis- tration in the library, and then proceed to registra- tion in the gymnasium. Of course, not everything has changed as gradu- ate students and seniors still had first choice of reg- istration times. The old process began with students filling out course cards in the bleachers of the gym and wait- ing until their appointed time to register. Cards to be filled out numbered anywhere from 10 to 15 and were available in a wide array of colors. All the cards came in packets and had titles such as pre-registration cards, partial schedule cards, problems cards, and identification cards. There were even cards to fill out if a student left the gym floor during registration. 20 Orientation I 3— After assemblies with the dean ot men and of women, freshmen recei e their first bit of college education- registration packets. 4- The process is also tiring lor those at the computer terminals Regina Harrell pauses to recouperate. Orientation 21 n kl In the old process, if all desired classes were available, if all the right people signed all the right cards in all the right places, and if all the right fees and charges were paid, registration for the average student took four to six hours. As the schools ' enrollment grew frcjm college to university status and beyond, the registration pro- cess became inadequate. In 1973, in response to this need, a computerized system was begun that was unique to ETSU and that has remained since that time. Admissions and records personnel point with pride to the cutting of students times spent in registration to approximately 30 minutes over the previous four to six hours. Each student now works out the class schedule with advisors before going to the registration area. The schedule is then key-punched into the com- puter system for checks against full classes and J 22 Orientation I — Lunihtime in the ballroom !• an anlicipdlfa deiighi-unk-sv you are at Ihu bottom of the ramp. 2-The process ot pa rng lor fees became anotfier patience enduring lest as lines began to grow. 3-Seeminglv a bastion ol lonlusion, the Admissions and Records Department does much to clariu perplexing registration problems. conflicts.

An example of the efficiency of the ETSU system was seen fall quarter when 10,037 students were registered in an approximate two-month period.

I PHOBEE WATKINS One morning last fall, I woke up and realized that summer was gone, and school was approaching. The date was Sept. 16, and I couldn ' t believe my leaving for school that had seemed years away was now, in reality, only two days away. I spent the whole day shopping for things I thought I would need, and for the things I forgot that I needed. On Sept. 17, I visited all my local grocery and package stores for boxes to pack my necessities in. ▼ 1 .,••5 k For me, this was practically everything I owned. I was so busy trying to get ready to move into the dorm that I didn ' t realize that within a few hours I would be on my way. D-Day, Sept. 18, arrived and I was excited and nervous at the same time. I arrived in front of my dorm, Lucille Clement Hall, about 1 p.m. and was shocked to find so many people and so few parking spaces. There were approximately 2,500 students living in 16 dorms, I was told. Ten of these were for women, while six were for men. Those figures showed me rather quickly the ratio was not to be in my favor, seeing as there were some 1,500 females to only 1,000 males. The first thing I wanted to know about my dorm was its visitation plans. I learned that there are three types-plan A (no visitation except for open house), plan B (four-day visitation), and plan C (seven-day visitation). I just knew that my dorm would have plan A, but we didn ' t. We had plan B. As far as my friends and I have been concerned, the new system has been a success. A 3 Living in a dorm is an experience that reveals what college life is all about. I ' ve spent more time, on the whole, in my room than anywhere else on campus. Here, I have the chance to express myself in my room decoration, in meeting people around me that are now my neighbors, and in having the op- portunity to participate in various dorm activities, such as intramurals, parties, dances, pot-luck sup- pers, trash pick-up, and parties for charitable orga- nization, including the Salvation Army and Grand- father Mountain ' s Children ' s Home. 3-With pen in hand-and one in the mouth- this coed diligently solves another problem. 4-Warm fall days bring out the best in people, t ooks and lunch. Wanted New Experiences in Life . . . Although dorm life is a big asset to my life, there are problems. First, and foremost, are the toilets and showers. The toilets work pretty regularly, only there aren ' t enough of them. It seems about the time I have to go, everyone else on the hall does, too. The showers have another problem, however. They only work about half of the time. There are al- ways problems with the plumbing and water supply (plenty of hot, little cold), and the shower heads are horrible. When the water is turned on, it sprays in one thin, steady stream that either knocks you down or washes you in sections. It ' s better than nothing, but . . . When I finally got moved into my room and started unpacking, I realized that I was already missing some of the comforts of home, one of these being a refrigerator. This year there were approximately 565 refrig- erators for some 2,500 students, according to Ted Rastall, director of the Central Receiving Ware- house. The refrigerators aren ' t very large in size, but they are large enough to hold the necessitites. They rent for $22.50 for three quarters, and I believe that it is worth every penny. To be able to acquire one of these jewels re- quires a contract, although that doesn ' t necessarily guarantee one, and plenty of patience. 1-Four times a year the university bookstore is wall-to-wall [jeople buying books and supplies. 2-One young coed finds a rare commodity among the shelves-a captivating text. 2 t 26 Moving In Welcome to the Dorm! 1— A good book and a cuddly toy sometimes help to alleviate homesickness. 2-A long line of students besieged Central Receiving Ware- house for one of those luxuries of dorm life— a refrigerator. The warehouse, where the refrigerators are dis- tributed, opened its doors Monday, Sept. 19, around 8 a.m. I thought I would get there about 7:30 a.m. and be first in line. Well, about 300 other people had the same idea. I stood in line from 7:30 a.m. until 12 p.m. I was so mad and hot that I was ready to explode. Finally I made it up to the refrigerator man. As I handed him my contract and he pointed out my re- frigerator, I just smiled and forgot that I had been standing in line four and a half hours. It was like a new toy- 1 just wanted to get it and go home. After all the excitement and confusion of moving in and finding all my classes, I walked down the hall of my dorm and reality hit me like a ton of bricks. All I could think of was, Boy, this place could use some fixing up. There are plans for future renovation, I learned. The two dorms that are first in line are the men ' s Browning Hall, and the women ' s Carter Hall, ac- cording to Joan Dressel, housing director. This pro- cess is not scheduled to take place for another two years, though. It ' s up to the state legislature to sell bonds to raise the money, so the dorms wait. Air conditioning of the dorm is also in the future plans. That ' s good, as there isn ' t a bit of breeze coming into my room, except when I open my door. Then, of course, everyone walking down the hall looks in or the wind blows the curtains and knocks the plants on the floor when the door is Needless to say, privacy is rarely found in a dorm. Dorm space itself is a problem, but if new dorms are built, where would they go? There isn ' t much campus property left for dorms, according to Dres- sel, and what is left may be used for parking spaces. One possibility for dorm space is to build across from the new health building on Southwest Avenue. As for now, new things are being ordered for some of the more desperate dorms. McCord, Clement and Dossett got new drapes this year. This wasn ' t really a special gift, since all that was hanging on the rods were strings where the drapes used to be. McCord was the first to receive their drapes, with the others scheduled for instal- 28 Moving In 3-Some people even take time out from the hectic chores to pose for the photographer. 4- The moving in process is brightened by a friend stopping by to chat about summer activities. lation during the year. As for Clement, only first, second and third floors will be receiving drapes. Now at least I will be able to come out of my closet to dress. Looking back at all the crazy things that I have said and done, all the times I got mad and swore never to come back, and all the times I spent endless hours studying when all my friends were at Tulley ' s, I have to admit that I ' m excited when I think I have another year ahead. I really did a lot of growing up, and if I had the chance to do it all again, I wouldn ' t change a thing. ETSU Dining Service CATHY HAMM Campus dining facilities at ETSU for 1977-78 were contracted to the nation- ally known food service ARA. Although this company has previously contracted such places as Atlanta Sta- dium, Mile High Stadium in Denver, and the last four Olympic Games, dining ser- vice director Chuck Kelley prefers the service to be called East Tennessee State University Dining Service. The switch to ARA during the late summer of 1977 from Morrison ' s food system resulted in many changes for ETSU students. Two cafeterias operated on an a-la-carte and meal ticket basis for the year. There were four different meal plans available fall quarter through ARA to the student-21 meals per week, 15 meals per week, and a 100-meal plan that could be used at anytime during the quarter. A budget plan was also initiated that allowed students to budget meals per week at a $100 cost per quarter, or to use them anytime during the quarter in any food facility on campus. There were approximately 1,200 meal tickets sold by ARA each quarter. The food service employed 50 full-time and 150 part-time workers. The university food service also hos- ted a variety of other services for the stu- dents during the year. An ice cream par- lor, located on the middle level of the University Center and in its second year of operation, served homemade ice cream and fresh donuts. The grill, also located on the middle level of the Cen- ter, maintained a fast food service. ARA also supplied concession stands, located on the east and west sides, in Memorial Center, during athletic events. The Rathskeller, located on the lower level of the University Center and also in its second year of operation, offered pizza, deli sandwiches, a salad bar, and other short order foods. Also, in the cash cafeteria on the upper level of the Uni- versity Center, the student could build a sandwich by the ounce. Something new this year at ETSU was found in Adventures in Dining. Every month the food service prepared a meal based on a certain theme with decora- 30 ARA tiorib and employees ' attire reflecting the mood of the occasion. The University Fcjod Service also had several promotional sales including buy- ing soft drinks and receiving a poster, frisbee, or a variety of other articles free. Also, the food service obtained a spe- cial cart called the Hot Dog Cart. The cart rolled around campus in warm weather, providing students and faculty with a quick, convenient food break. 1 -Student wonders, Trick or Treat? 2— SCA sponsored picnic (or students catered by ARA food service. i-ARA employee fills student ' s plate. -1— Student workers diligently dish up food. 5— Cos- tumed boss makes sure things are running smoothly.

ETSU ' s campus bookstore observed its second year in new, enlarged facilities in the University Center during the 1977-78 year. The new facilities of the University Bookstore have al- lowed for much expansion and adjustments, a vast change from the original store in a small book room in the adminis- tration building. The bookstore carried a tremendous range of products in 11 departments throughout the year. The products ranged from clothing, sporting goods, record albums, tapes, gradu- ation caps and gowns, graduation announcements, rings, school and office supplies, art and engineering supplies, greeting cards, stationary, candy, cigarettes, and photo supplies. The store also carried novelty items, jewelry, and cosmet- ics, with a photo finishing service also available. The Bookstore was a supplier of paperback and hardback books, as well as being a major outlet for textbooks of both new and used quality. A service also continued for buying used books for resale. The bookstore served approximately 11,000 people per month during the year for an average of 600 people per day. Manager Guy Maddox maintained the University Book- store as a regular store, employing 20 people. Business hours were 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays. The store operated on Saturday on a trial basis during the year, being open from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. Several problems caused by relocation were solved dur- ing the year with the bookstore assuming its own shopping and receiving responsibilities as well as bookkeeping duties. 32 Bookstore 3— The usual first of the quar- ter rush. 4— Reading cards— a favorite pasrtime for some. 5- The latest albums are part of the bookstore ' s offerings.

Sherrod Library at ETSU completed its 10th year in its present facilities during the 1977-78 year. The library, a four-story structure in the heart of the campus, was completed in 1967 and named in honor of Charles C. Sherrod, president of ETSU from 1925 through 1949. A variety of services and programs for students were continued during the year with approximately 530,000 bound volumes, 5,000 serials and periodicals, and 65,000 reels of microfilm being counted among the library ' s holdings. Director of Libraries Dr. Edward M. Walters began his first year in the department which employed 46 full-time librarians and 120 student assistants. Walters, who did his undergraduate work at Baylor University and master ' s and doctoral work at the Univer- sity of Georgia, was hired in eary 1977 to replace former 34 Library head librarian Hal Smith. His work during the year in or- ganizing campus library facilities was aimed toward de- fining informational needs of library users, supplying users ' needs, organizing library material for better use, and delivering information to the user. Hours for the library during the year were 8 a.m. to 10:30 p.m., Monday through Saturday; 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Friday and Saturday; and 2:30 to 10:30 p.m., Sunday. First floor study areas were open until 2 a.m. each night. Special services offered by the library included refer- ence assistance through the second-floor reference desk on an 84-hour per week basis. Special loan services were also continued during the year with students being able to borrow books from other institutional libraries in the service. Reserve library services were also continued for the use of students and professors, as was a government documents section which serves as an official depository for all U.S. government documents. Other services continued during the year included mi- cro-form and micro-film. Micro-film holdings numbered some 50 current subscriptions from newspapers around the U.S., plus 3,000 other periodicals, while micro-film facilities included 16 film-viewing machines and a print- ing machine. Photocopying and typewriter services were also main- tained for library users ' convenience. Walters and library personnel defined several future goals for the library during the year, including the installa- tion of a new cataloging system, new methods of book acquisition, increased reference staff, better display of periodicals and micro-films, and the employment of a systems librarian. Some 2,400 current periodical titles are expected to be on display on the fourth floor of the library by the fall of 1978 as an aid to students. Micro-film holdings are also expected to be consolidated on the fourth floor of the building by the fall of 1978 in an effort to centralize hold- ings and improve service. A long range goal for the library is to switch to the Li- brary of Congress classification from the Dewey Decimal system presently used. The new system is hoped to get books on library shelves at a faster rate than is currently possible. A computer-based cataloging network, the South- eastern Library Network, is also expected to be em- ployed by the library to provide all card production. 1-On the left is the first book presented to the library in 1912.

However, the main activities in- volving campus competition were iponsored by the Student Govern- nent Association (SGA) and the Uni- rersity Center Program Committee UCPC). Both worked hard to make his year ' s Homecoming more ex- citing and participated in by more people. New contests were createdT and traditional ones spiced up a bit, renewing Homeco ming interest for both groups and individuals. Months of planning and organiza- tional effort paid off during the week, with greater spirit and student in- volvement than ETSU had seen in several years. There were 20 entries in a bubble gum-blowing contests Tuesday, with over 500 pieces of gum chewed. Competition consisted of five heats of four people each, with winners having a blow off . Danny Colen was the fi- nal champion, blowing a 22 cubic- inch bubble.

The day concluded with a dance in the University Center ballroom featur- ing Bill Deal and the Rhondels. A large number of students turned out for the music and fellowship. Thursday morning began with the Inter- Fraternity Council-sponsored Run-a-Thon throughout the Tri- Cities area, which raised $500 for the ETSU Foundation. A bonfire and pep rally on the intramural fields, spon- sored by the cheerleading squad, ended the day. Final judging in sign painting and dorm decorating competitions took place Friday afternoon. Clement Hall was judged to have the best sign, with the Baptist Student Union just behind them, and Delta Sigma Pi taking third. Powell Hall took first place in dorm decoration, with Dossett and Carter tying for second. One of the highlights of Home- coming festivities was the concert given by popular country music singer Kenny Rogers at Freedom Hall Friday night. His performance was well-at- tended by students and the many ar- riving alumni. The ladies, especially, had a screaming good time. Also, highlighting the day was the annual Alumni golf tournament. Saturday proved to be a beautiful day for the Homecoming parade down Main Street in Johnson City. Of the many floats entered by different organizations, Sigma Chi-Sigma Kappa was judged to have the best based on originality, design, and rela- tionship to theme. Sigma Nu-Alpha Omicron Pi placed and the Women ' s Interdormitory Council took third in the parade competition. There were many brunches and re- ceptions by different campus groups for their respective alumni as well as the annual Alumni Barbecue before the ETSU-Murray State Homecoming game at 2 p.m. The attraction of the then newly- opened Memorial Center was a spe- cial feature for many of the returning alumni, with over 9,000 spectators fill- ing the stands for the game. The Alumni Association invited former football captains, All-America players, and former Homecoming queens as special guests of the Uni- versity for the day. Albert Choate of Port St. joe, Fla., captain of the 1924 football squad, highlighted the returning captains, 38 Homecoming queens and football stars as the oldest living captain. Five All-America players on hand for the day ' s activities included ETSU golf coach Hal Morrison (1954), Mike Banyas (1958), jim Baker (1962), Ron Overbay (1968), and John Walton 1 —The bubble gum blow off contest was won by Danny Colen (seated, far left).

Reynard the Fox CONNIE KYKER The Children ' s Theatre of East Tennessee State Univer- sity presented Arthur Fauquez ' Reynard the Fox on May 26-28, 1977. Mrs. Daryl Frank directed the produc- tion and was assisted by Andrea Ritchie and Geary Dillon. Reynard the Fox , a witty, satirical play based on Ger- man folk legends, was written originally in French and first produced in Brussels. It has been translated into English for American audiences. The entire play took place in the heart of the forest and included the four seasons— spring, summer, autumn, and winter-as evidenced by special lighting effects devel- oped by Harold J. Hunter. Ray McBride, a member of the original Irish Brigade— ETSU ' s nationally recognized cross-country team— and a star of previous ETSU plays, portrayed Reynard. The fox was seen as brave, charming, and good-natured, al- though having been brought to trial for tricks played on fellow animals. He was given a year ' s probation in which time he was not to be deceitful. 4 But Reynard, a fun-loving fox, could not resist the many opportunities he had to trick his friends. At the end of his probation, he accumulated a long list of misdeeds. Karen Brewster, Johnson City, another experienced ETSU player, portrayed Tiecelin, the Crow, also known as the Royal Registrar. Terry Smith of Bluff City, portrayed Reverend Epinard, the Hedgehog. Seigneur Brun, the lumbering and slow-moving bear was played by Rick Schmid of Knoxvill Ysengrin, the Wolf— the eager but clumsy Baron— was portrayed by Steve Meroney of Johnson City. Guy Priester, another experienced actor on the ETSU stage, played Noble, the majestic Lion, King of the Forest. Lendore, the Marmot-a sleepy, cuddly lady-was played by Robin Hardin of Johnson City. The play, ideal for children, told an entertaining story with colorful characters, who acted comically and with dramatic suspense. While entertaining children, it was very thought- provoking to adults by wittily commenting on the good and the bad in everyone and hypocrisy of those who would be the judge of others. 4— Brun the bear patiently listens to the wolf ' s argument. 5-The listening is over; the battle begins. ▼ 5 ■ 1. An Evening With Moliere CONNIE KYKER Moliere ' s Tartuffe was presented by the ETSU Theatre on Feb. 8 through 11 in Cilbreath Hall. Tartuffe, a verse comedy in five acts, shows the aspects of hypocrisy, gullibility, and overbearing pompousness which apply to men in general. Madame Pernelle, the mother of Orgon, was played by Becki Hood. Becki is a se- nior theatre and English major from Bristol, Va., and has had previous acting experi- ence at both Barter Theatre in Abington, Va. and Virginia Highlands Community College, having had roles in such plays as Three Penny Opera and Hedda Cabler. Karen Brewster, a senior theatre major from Johnson City, portrayed Elmire, Or- gon ' s wife, who is chased by Tartuffe, yet finds little refuge in her husband. She is fi- nally forced to prove what she has said about Tartuffe is true, thus opening Or- gon ' s eyes to what Tartuffe is doing. Brews- ter, excellently portraying Elmire, has had other roles in Reynard the Fox and Carousel. Marianne, Orgon ' s daughter, was por- trayed by Betty )o Morrison, a sophomore from Johnson City. Morrison attends both ETSU and Milligan and is majoring in hu- manities. She has appeared in A Man for All Seasons and Camelot. Marianne, deeply in love with Valere, wants to kill herself because of her father ' s decision that she should marry Tartuffe. She has always obeyed her father and does not want to change now. She cannot, how- ever, bring herself to marry Tartuffe, so she must fine some way to change her father ' s mind. Mary Ann Tokash Sanderbeck, a sen ior theatre major from Youngstown, Ohio, portrayed Dorine, the lady ' s maid to Mar- iane. Sanderbeck is a transfer student for Fairmont State College in West Virginia where she appeared in The Crucible and Beggar on Horseback. Dorine is portrayed as a very talkative maid who always has her nose where it does not belong, always offering advice, even when it is not asked for. 48 Tartuffe Danis, Orgon ' s son, was portrayed by Jim Murphy, a freshman theatre major from New Orleans, La. His most recent appearance at ETSU was in Carousel. Danis, a Knothead like his father, speaks out against Tartuffe and, for that reason, is sent away from Orgon ' s house but returns in the end. Guy P. Priester III, a theatre major graduate student from Mi- ami, Fla., appeared as Cleante. Guy has appeared in such ETSU productions as Reynard the Fox and Man of La Mancha, and has also been in the Olde West Dinner Theatre ' s production of fiddler on the Roof. Cleante, brother-in-law of Orgon and the reasoner who speaks for the rest of the sane people, points out that Orgon is blind to Tartuffe ' s doings and is a selfish menace to his entire family. Orgon was played by Mark Alexander Beverly, a graduate stu- dent from Rochester, N.Y. He graduated from ETSU, majoring in theatre, and returned to the ETSU stage after two years. He has appeared in Haunted House and Alice in Wonderland. Orgon, buliheaded and gullible, trusts and admires Tartuffe so much that he wants him to become sole heir of his estate and husband of his daughter. After many efforts by his family to open his eyes, he realizes that he has made a terrible mistake. He is about to lose everything when a gentleman of the King ' s Guard steps in and saves them from disaster— Tartuffe ' s robbing of Or- gon ' s belongings. Tartuffe was played by Mark Cakus, a sophomore from John- son City. He is a theatre major, attending both ETSU and Milligan. Mark has appeared in Knock, Knock at the Johnson City Com- munity Theatre, Fiddler on the Roof at the Olde West Dinner Theatre, and ETSU ' s Carousel. Tartuffe, the Imposter , is a dangerous religious hypocrite, al- though not a perfect one as he only fools Orgon and his Madame Pernelle. His actions almost fool Orgon so well up to his arranging control of everything that Orgon has. In the end, Orgon ' s good-heartedness overcomes Tartuffe ' s hypocrisy and deceit, and Tar- tuffe is jailed. Valere, Marianne ' s love, was portrayed by Steve Carpenter. Steve is a junior theatre major from Kingsport, and has had pre- vious roles in Wait Until Dark and Indians. A transfer student from Vanderbilt, Wil- liam Lewis was seen as Flipote and the Po- lice Officer. Lewis is a sophomore business administration major from Louisville, Ky. and newcomer to the ETSU stage. Monsieur Loyal was played by another newcomer, John Hardy. John is a junior transfer student from Maplewood, N.Y., and is majoring in physical education. Tartuffe was directed by Harold |. Hunter. He and Richard Schmid were in charge of lighting design. The fantastic costumes were designed by Karia Green, a junior theatre major from Kingsport. The set designer for Tartuffe was Dorsey Smith, a graduate student in English and theatre, from Grundy, Va. 1-Dorine. (Mary Ann Sanderbeck). tries lo patch up a lovers quarrel t)eKseen Valere.

A member station of the National Public Radio (NPR) system and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the station, with a studio on the )ohnsn City campus, reached residents within a 65-mile radius via 70,000-watt signals from its transmitter atop 4,000-foot Holston Mountain. Funded by ETSU, with supplementary funds through the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and private donations, WETS-FM is located at 89.5 on the FM dial and broadcast throughout the year from 6 a.m. until midnight, seven days a week. Dick Ellis, a native of Roan Mountain and a graduate of Lees-McRae Junior College and ETSU, managed the station as it completed its fifth year of operation. Three fulltime an- nouncers, two engineers, and a secretary were involved in the total operation. Ellis, the radio voice for Buccaneer football and basket- ball and a veteran of over 25 years of broadcasting experi- ence, continued his work during the year of bringing ETSU sports to the local area.

Special activities of the station during the year included a visit by an engineering team late in the winter quarter in preparation for interconnection of the station with Western Union ' s WESTAR communications satellite through the aus- pices of the National Public Radio system. The expected line-up with the satellite, one of 192 around the country which are expected to be in operation by Janu- ary of 1980, will be part of a nationwide $12 million project. Varied programming continued as a trademark of WETS- FM, encompassing classical, big band, symphonic, and jazz music, in addition to informational programming in- volving documentaries, interviews, lectures, and speeches concerning politics, education, local problems, and other matters of interest to listeners. Expected changes for the station in the near future in- clude establishment of a Community Advisory Committee, and the production by WETS-FM staff of more local hap- penings for nationwide broadcast.

WETS-FM 51 Miss Buccaneer 1978 Beverly Gail Jetton waltzed away with the title of Miss Buccaneer 1978 in fall quarter competition in the D.P. Gulp University Center Auditorium. Miss Jetton, a freshman marketing major from Knoxville, vied with 14 other young ladies for the title in the annual event sponsored by the Bucca- neer yearbook staff, and took the honor, which is based on poise, appearance, and photogenic quali- ties, in her first pageant competition. Approximately 60 entrants attended preliminary judging in October of 1977, although only 15 were selected for participation in the pageant, Nov. 8. Pageant director Mike Carrier prepared the ladies for the event through a series of rehearsals before actual competition. Former Miss Kingsport Karen King assisted Carrier in program coordination. First runner-up for Miss Buccaneer was Debo- rah Kaye Huffine of Jonesboro.

Excitement and tension filled the air as five nervous but hopeful young women awaited the final announcement. All the long hours of work were over, with the moment of reckoning at hand. And the winner is . . . contestant No. 1 . . . Miss Harriet Whitaker! Thus it was that the new Miss ETSU, beaming with happiness, stepped forward to accept the coveted crown, surrounded by fel- low contestants and an enthusiastic crowd, in the Feb. 17 university qualifying event for state competition. A junior from Johnson City, Whitaker earned the honor of representing East Tennes- see State in the Miss Tennessee State Pag- eant scheduled in June in Jackson. The state competition acts as a preliminary to the Miss America pageant. Whitaker ' s victory came in competition with eight other contestants in talent, swim- suit, and evening gown competition, and earned her a scholarship of in-state tuition costs, and room and meal ticket costs for three quarters. First runner-up in the pageant was Cynthia Lynn Wolford, a freshman from Bristol. Renee Collehon, a senior from Kingsport, was sec- ond runner-up, while Karen Michelle Wilson, a freshman from Memphis, received the Miss Congeniality award, in addition to being one of the top five finalists. Sarah Lynn James rounded out the top five finishers. The first runner-up received in-state tuition and room costs for one quarter, the second runner-up, in-state tuition for one quarter, and the third and fourth runners-up, $100 each. ETSU is recognized throughout the state as providing the largest pageant scholarships in Tennessee, with funds raised by the ETSU Foundation through pledges designated for the Miss ETSU Scholarship Fund. The pageant, which was sponsored by the UCPC, was directed by 197b-77 Miss ETSU, Judith Lynn Milhorn. Milhorn and guest soloist Tom Blessing provided special entertainment throughout the three-hour program. Serving as Mistress of Ceremonies was Nancy Luntsford Osborne, a 1 70 graduate of ETSU, a former Miss Johnson City, and a former Miss Tennessee contestant. Other pageant contestants included Deloise Hill, a freshman from Bristol, Va.; Beverly jean Osborne, a junior from Bristol, Tn.; Linda Gail Ritchie, a freshman from Elizabethton; and Marolyn Gale Woods, a junior from Chattanooga. Garland Roberts served as producer of the program, with Robyn Smith working as special assistant to the director. 2-Miss ETSU 1977, )udy Mil- horn, makes her final appear- ance. 3— First runner-up, Cyndi Wolford, performed Don ' t It Make M Brown Eyes Blue, in earning her title. Parking— the perpetual problem JOY DUNCAN Of all the campus committees, which may prove to be the most unpopular? It seems likely for the year 1977-78 that the Parking and Traffic Planning Committee will win this one. This committee, with the help of professional consultants, has among its duties to determine the major needs of the university relative to parking and traffic, and ultimately to recommend a course of action designed to relieve the park- ing problems that plague ETSU. Sounds simple enough, doesn ' t it? Truly, as most of us al- ready have a few ideas about the best way to handle the situation. The parking situation has worsened yearly. As enrollment increases as it did in 1977-78 so does the number of re- served parking spaces-or so it seems to the hapless student who searches futilely for an unreserved space, especially between peak hours of 9 and 11 a.m. Jokes are frequently heard about the distance traveled from parked car to classroom-like stopping for lunch, hitching a ride, or the new freshmen orientation course— The care and feeding of camels. But the humor becomes sarcastic over the penalties for parking violations. The minimum penalty of $2 is imposed for blocking a ramp used by the handicapped, blocking traffic flow, or even parking on lawns, walks, or other unde- signated areas. A $5 penalty is imposed for parking in a re- served space-an infraction equivalent in magnitude to blocking a fire lane. Obviously there is need for change. According to the chairman of the Parking and Traffic Planning Committee, Dr. Michael Marchioni, the group is working to find the best solution to the problem. Each member is looking beyond the wishes of the group he represents to what will best serve the entire university. Unfortunately, they will almost certainly be maligned for their efforts. The decision they finally reach will displease some groups. In fact, it may be safely said that no group will be completely satisfied with a new parking policy expected to be implemented for the fall quarter 1978. For instance, the one change that is definite at this point is that ETSU will have paid parking come next fall, no matter what system is devised. As unwelcome as this fact may be, Without paid parking ETSU will not be eligible for federal aid to improve parking, says Marchioni. Other changes are possible. There may be fewer reserved spaces sitting empty hour after hour. Estimates are that 10 to 20 percent of these spaces are unoccupied during peak parking hours. One alternative the group has studied will have a minimum of reserved spaces , with the remainder of the parking allotted by zones-for faculty, handicapped, vis- itors, students, etc. Some space now occupied by cars belonging to dormi- tory students may be freed. It isn ' t unusual for many of these cars to remain in the same spot day after day accord- ing to parking analysts. Since they are seldom used-some- times only on weekends— it should be a minor inconven- ience to their owners to park further from the mainstream. But the extra spaces would be a boon to commuting students. What do the experts say? Well, as a matter of fact, the committee won ' t get their final recommendations until May 1978, after traffic and parking studies throughout most of winter quarter. And the new plan won ' t be implemented until August, just before fall quarter begins with its usual headaches and problems. One of the considerations in recommendations will be aesthetics. We could asphalt the entire campus, but no one wants that. ETSU has a beautiful campus and it ' s en- joyed by the students, said Marchioni. In fact, we are for- tunate in having some of the few surviving elms, he added. Marchioni says he would like to see the penalties for traf- fic violations overhauled to reflect reasonable priorities. He also suggests a raising of fines from the present $2 minimum to a figure that would better deter violations. He suggests that bicycle and mo-ped racks, as well as carpools, can pro- vide some relief for the parking situation. Marchioni admitted that the faculty will not be apt to ap- plaud any move that eliminates reserved spaces. With the addition of the medical school, the problems are going to increase, though, he said. We ' re all going to have to make some sacrifices. Zoned parking used at other state and area institutions is also being considered in the total plan- 1 -Parking signs-who needs them? 58 Parking ning. Marchioni feels it can be feasible at ETSU. No parking or traffic pattern preferences are expected before com- mittee recommendations are final. Phillip Thomas, dean of men, doesn ' t wholeheartedly share the opinions of the committee. The committee will find it hard to come up with a better system than we have now. His own preference is to open up every space on campus, first come-first served. But he readily acknowl- edges this isn ' t practical. Visitors and handicapped stu- dents must be given special consideration. And house- mothers can ' t be expected to carry groceries halfway across campus. Thomas says ETSU really doesn ' t have a parking problem when compared with universities of comparable size. In fact, a count by Thomas ' office of empty spaces during peak parking hours on normal days found an average of 250 available spaces. For the most part these were located in the areas most distant from the classrooms. Students aren ' t going to be able to park across the street. The best plan can ' t change the facts-there is never going to be quite enough parking space (in the right places) to satisfy everyone. Dr. DeRosier, of course, will make the final decision on the plan to be implemented. But the Parking and Traffic Planning Committee will get all the credit-or blame. 2-Cars, cars every- where, and no relief in sight. 3-Snowy winter weather made normally tight park- ing situations much betler-if you could get to school. Parking 59 Spotlight on Personalities CAROL TAYLOR 1 -White ' s person-to-person approach in student government Is character- ized in this photo. 2— White confers with presidential assistant Dan Russo. Just how many organiza- tions and activities can one per- son be involved in? However many it is, 1977-78 Stu- dent Government Association Presi- dent Penny J. White probably came close to breaking the record. White, a se- nior political science major, is from King- sport and graduated from Sullivan Central High School in 1974. Her student government interest was evident in her high school activities when she was on the student council for three years and president of the group her senior year. White was also in the National Honor Society and Beta Club, and a member of the De- bate Club. Being president of the ETSU student body is actually a full-time job in itself. White made a campaign pledge to be available whenever a student, faculty member, or adminis- trator had a question or gripe, and she definitely fulfilled that obligation with real concern and long hours during the year. Her role as mediator between students and adminis- tration to turn conflicts into formal complaints and prevent chaos from breaking out during communication gave her headaches but also admiration from faculty and students alike with her determination and continual accessibility. Besides having to keep things running smoothly for the university as a whole, White also oversaw activities within the SCA involving forty elected and appointed positions. A poster in White ' s office within the SCA office complex met visitors with the statement, There are no strangers here, only friends we haven ' t met. This philosophy perhaps contributed to the success of the Student Government As- sociation during 1977-78 as the organization became closely-knit in a conscious effort to make friends with as many students, faculty members, and administrators as possible. A glance at the list of White ' s activities other than the stu- dent government during the year revealed adherence to her advice, Never hesitate to get involved. By virtue of her position as SGA president. White served on the Judicial Board; was on several standing university committees, including the Academic Council and the Com- mittee on Intercollegiate Athletics; was on the Business and Finance Committee of the Tennessee State Board of Re- gents; was chairman of all the university presidents in Ten- nessee; and intep iewed and selected students for numer- ous standing university committees. Earlier in her college career, White served in the Senate of n %  ■ r the SGA and had a Cub Scout and Brownie Scout troop in Johnson City. She also gained membership in four honor societies-Alpha Lambda Delta, Phi Kappa Phi, Gamma Beta Phi, and Pi Sigma Alpha. She also served as president of Pi Sigma Alpha, in addition to enjoying intramural sports and being a member of the Psychology Club. After her June 1978 graduation. White will continue work toward a law degree, and hopes to move into criminal law and consumer protection law. 60 Spotlights Always search for someone already busy and involved in activities to do a little more. John Phillip Carleton has exemplified the busy student doing a little more all the time. The environmental health major will complete his degree requirements during the last half of 1978 after two very active years at ETSU. A wide span of interest has produced his involvement In academic, athletic, organizational, Greek, and political activities. A first aid class in high school initiated Carleton ' s interest in health-related areas, although at first he was undecided over health or health services for concentrated study. After high school, the army decided to place Carleton in the area of marine combat during the heighth of the Viet- nam conflict despite his medical field leani ngs, and as part of the Ninth Infantry Division, he worked aboard mortar and artillery barge tows in the Mekong Delta. The experi- ence was valuable to him as he acquired: a license to oper- ate 250-ton tugs, licensing as a Coast Guard Radar Ob- server, and schooling in harbor-craft deck operations. Deciding that he wanted to return to civilian life to start college, Carleton returned to his hometown, Santa Barbara, Calif., after his military hitch to attend the City College. In order to finance his college career, he turned to a privately- owned security guard force for work, although later switch- ing to boat building of small luxury craft. After a few more odd jobs and a lacking interest in school, Carleton returned to the Army to become a mem- ber of the 82nd Airborne Group where he finally made con- tact with the medical field. Prior to that contact, though, he received parachuting wings from the Ft. Benning, Ga., Air- borne Training Center, as well as qualifying to wear the Ca- nadian Parachuting Wings. He later received his jumpmas- ter Training Certification. Fulfilling a desire to further his education in environ- mental health and related areas after the Army, he searched for a school in the U.S. that would best fulfill his specialized needs. Choosing ETSU because of its nationally-recognized en- vironmental health program, Carleton enrolled for the fall 1976 quarter as a sophomore and rose quickly through the ranks, becoming a junior in October and a senior in De- cember of the same quarter. His amusing changes in status came as a result of several years of acquired course credits from different institutions across the nation that were finally tallied by the Admissions and Records Office. He has been working through the entire environmental health program, however, due to his lack of environmental health studies before coming to ETSU. Carleton ' s experiences at ETSU have been almost as di- versified as those seven years after high school. Finding a niche in the environmental health department on the John- son City campus, he soon found strong interests in extracur- ricular aspects also. The Student National Environmental Health Association (SNEHA) chapter at ETSU found itself with Carleton as its vice-president after a short time and later as its president, president. In the spring of 1977, the ETSU chapter of SNEHA nomi- nated Carleton for the position of national president, a nomination which was endorsed later that year in the group ' s national meeting. Responsibilities for Carleton have greatly increased as na- tional president, and he has enjoyed them as educational experiences as well as for the people he has met. Appointed by ETSU department chairman Monroe Morgan, Carleton served as a representative to the NEHA Accreditation Committee in its review of the ETSU environmental health program. ETSU has since become the first school in the nation to offer an accredited master ' s program in environmental health. He also served as a delegate to the NEHA Annual Edu- cational Conference in 1977. Representing ETSU at an international conference, Carleton presented a paper to the First Regional Congress of Social Psy- chiatry held in California in the fall of 1977. The thesis for his paper was based upon research that proves certain aspects of one ' s environment, whether it be pollution of physical sur- roundings, can and do affect the mental stability of different people. Whether or not it seems possible, Carleton is occasionally found on campus in classes, conducting SNEHA meetings, participating in meetings of the university ' s Safety and Advi- sory Committee, working as a political science intern with state senators Marshall Nave and Carl Moore, and even play- ing soccer with members of the ETSU Soccer Club. The credits and talents of the young 29-year-old Carleton seem endless. His plans after graduation are uncertain at present but, whatever happens, he ' ll undoubtedly stay busy. 3-Carieton uses his head in a soccer match with the ETSU Soccer Club against the Milligan College Buffalo. ) f t.-- ' if i I ; ' Spotlight 1 Spotlight on personalities Running— that ' s my life. Everything revolves around that. Right now I ' d put off anything for running. When you feel that strongly about something it has to be great, and the speaker of those words, Ray Flynn, is the greatest miler in the history of track at ETSU and currently one of the top milers in the world. The 21 -year-old senior is a business administration major from Longford, Ireland. He started developing his running skills when he was 15. It was everyone ' s dream to get an American scholarship, Flynn remembers. The dream came true for the Irishman when he won the Irish School ' s Championship at 17 and came to America the same year. ETSU was his final destination, and it is the East Tennessee mountains which have been home for the past four years. Upon arriving in Johnson City and coming under the tutelage of track and cross country coach Dave Walker, Flynn began a training scheduled of 90 to 100 miles a week. The difficult pace paid off quickly for Flynn as he ran a 4:03 mile in his rookie year competition, and then improved in style and reputation every year thereafter. He currently holds the ETSU records in the mile run after a 4:01 timing in 1977 which broke Mark Brown ' s former 4:03 indoor timing, and a 3:59.4 timing in 1977 in outdoor, an accomplishment which makes him the only Tennessee runner to have bro- ken the four-minute-mile barrier and broke the former record 4:03 timing also held by Brown. Flynn ' s performances during the 1977-78 year were per- haps fitting as an end to his collegiate career. He won the OVC mile competition with a 4:04.9 timing, anchored the mile portion of the distance medley event which ETSU 1-Flynn nears the finish line in 6th place in the Region III Cross Country Championships at Furman University. 2-Post-race waiting periods are good times of thought for Flynn. won, and earned OVC Indoor Athlete of the Year honors in early February. Also during the year, he won most valu- able runner honors with first-place finishes in the 880-yard and two-mile events at the Pittsburg Invitational, and quali- fied for NCAA indoor competition in Detroit, Mich. He was the third in the nation there with a 4:00.73 timing, earning All-American honors. Flynn ' s abilities have not been limited to track over the past four years, however. His running on the cross country squad has resulted in high national finishes, with his claim- ing All-American honors in 1975 after the squad took ETSU ' s first national cross-country championship in USTAFF competition. He was first team-wise and 26th overall last fall in NCAA cross country running with a 29:50.2 timing as the team took seventh nationally, and was also one of the six ETSU runners who covered the Region III course at Furman University in an under-30-minute time, a feat not even accomplished by former Irish Brigade members Neil Cusack, Eddy Leddy, or P.). Leddy in their prime. Flynn doesn ' t even slow down when he goes home for the summer, but continues training and racing in England, all the while wearing the Blue and Gold of East Tennessee. His collegiate eligibility ended this year, but East Tennes- seans may not have heard the last of him. His current plans are to remain in the U.S. and try out for Olympic teams in 1980. It could be a dream come true. 62 Spotlight Riflery is just part of what I do. In the 26 years that riflery has been a sport at East Tennes- see State, 43 All-American shooters have spent time on the Johnson City campus. One of the latest students to do so is a dark-haired soph- omore from Alexandria, Va., named Gloria Parmentier. Coaches and observers have often said Gloria can go as far in riflery competition as she desires to go, but as Par- mentier puts, Rifler is just part of what I do. She started her shooting career at Fort Hunt High School in Alexandria where she was the first high school student ever to make an open U.S. rifle team by shooting on the squad that won a gold medal in the junior air rifle event in the 197S Pan American Games. Her affiliation with the Acorns junior Rifle Club, the No. 1 Ail-American selectee alumni group, helped her shooting career also as she was a member of the club team that won the national junior team championship in 197( . Also in 1976, Parmentier won the junior air rifle event in the Benito juare? Games, was national girls ' champion in the U.S. International Sectional and the National junior In- door Conventional Rifle Champion, and was a member of the U.S. Randle Team. And that is just the beginning. A look at 1977 shows a special award for most outstanding performance and a gold medal to her credit in th( junior Standard Rifle Position at the Benito juare Games, and the junior Standard Rifle Po- sition Championship in the U.S. International Champion- ships. She also won another medal— this time silver— in the junior air rifle event at the U.S. International competition. She was a member of the U.S. women ' s team for the 1977 Championships of the Americas and carted home three gold team medals, and two silver individual, in addition to one bronze individual medal in women ' s competition. She was honored in February of this year with a special Award of terit from Sports Illustrated magazine for her inclusion in the publication ' s Faces In The Crowd section of the June 13, 1977 issue just before she shot the highest individual score of sectional NRA collegiate competition on the Memorial Center range. The sectional score was the culmination of an impressive season for Parmentier whi-re she held down No. 1 shooting honors for most of the year in leading the team to what was hoped to be a No. 1 or No. 2 finish nationalK, just above the No. 3 finish the 1976-77 squad accomplished. Parmentier also capped off her year with another trip to the Benito Juarez Games in mid-March, and is expected to compete in International Shooting Championships and Team Tryouts in Phoenix in early June. .3-Parmentier ' s shooting abili- ties loolc to bring her and ETSU national fame for years ahead. Article by Carol Taylor Spotlight 63 If you ' ve ever seen Joe Thompson walking around cam- pus before 11 a.m. any day, you may have wondered if he was truly awake. Usually the answer is yes ' but the senior journalism ma- jor is hardly an early morning person. Actually, he jokes, I think the state legislature should pass a law prohibiting any class or other ' thinking ' activity before 1 1 a.m. each day. Maybe I ' d get to class on time then. Thompson, a North Carolinian by birth but a Georgia resident for the past 17 years, has established a reputation of versatility and varied interests while completing his colle- giate studies at ETSU. I wanted to get away from Georgia for college to obtain new outlooks on life and new ideas, and this area appealed to me from the start, he said in retrospect. Georgia has plenty of schools that I could have attended, but this area and the university are unique and have given opportunities for lifestyle changes and new experiences. Thompson ' s lifetime interest lies in writing and newspa- pers, a tough, elite profession, as he calls it, and one that requires top-notch workers and courageous leaders. His interests led him to work with the East Tennessean campus newspaper during his first three years of school, be- fore switching to the Buccaneer yearbook staff his senior year. He directed the campus paper as editor-in-chief dur- ing the 1976-77 school year after previous stints as sports editor and general flunky, while serving as managing edi- tor of the yearbook in 1977-78. My experiences with the newspaper were undoubtedly the most enjoyable of my college career, he says. I know we tried to put out a good product each week, and I hope the students appreciated the work while also being stimu- lated toward thought or action by our articles. Thompson ' s talents in writing have been noticed by uni- versity and area personnel as seen by his winning of the two top journalism department awards, the John Pitman Prize for general excellence in journalistic study, and the Chan- ticleer Award for excellence in editorial writing, in addition to the Richard Cobb Miller two-year scholarship for journal- istic study. He also broadened his journalistic expertise during his se- nior year with work in the university ' s sports information of- fice, covering women ' s sports and helping with adminis- trative duties. He also worked as city and police reporter in Bristol, Tenn., the previous summer for the Bristol Herald- Courier. People have often kidded me about my writing and asked how I can just sit down and knock out an article in a matter of minutes. I never truly considered my writing a tal- ent until people-mainly classmates-began asking me about it. I ' ve had a definite advantage in classes because of my quick, generally coherent style of writing, but it ' s some- thing any good newspaper writer can do after some years of practice. Writing becomes an obsession with you, I guess, and after practice of writing under deadlines and with professional standards, the words just flow. Is he the average writer? Thompson is quick to refute the idea, citing his interests in government, church-related ac- tivities, and academics as evidence of a diversified personality. I enjoy writing and journalism, but I have tried to do other things while in college, like participation in Baptist Student Union activities and keeping my grades well above People have often kidded me about my writing RICHARD B. TROUT average. Like many writers, I ' m a very particular person, but I try to be amiable and relate well to others, and to stay ath- letically fit by running and working out. There are far too many fat writers with boring lives who try to cover prob- lems with booze. I don ' t want to add to the list. Thompson ' s activities inside and outside the ETSU ad- ministration have given him familiarity with many adminis- trators and general administrative procedures. His observa- tions are interesting in his urging of the university and local areas to realize the potential of this university. ETSU ' s possibilities are unlimited. The new approach to- ward developing these possibilities by the DeRosier admin- istration is headed in the right direction, although many hard feelings have been created with the insistent demand for immediate change and better attitudes toward university functions and activities. I certainly haven ' t agreed with all the things which have occurred in the administration changeover, but I must ad- mit some positive and badly needed changes have resulted. I just hope DeRosier can find the middle ground between his quality, not quantity and positive image, and con- tinue good community relations. Sonny Smith and the basketball team did more this year than any amount of publicity toward uniting the university and area. That ' s a good sign, and hopefully things will keep improving. Don ' t expect Thompson to eventually wind up on a large-city daily paper or as one of a multitude of staff writers. His journalism leanings are toward medium-size to small-town papers, whether in writing or administration. Wherever he is, though, he will undoubtedly be an in- fluence. As he says, To paraphrase William Lloyd Garrison, ' I will be heard! ' 1 -Thompson, ever-ready pencil and paper in hand, talks with President DeRosier. 64 Spotlight Spotlight on personalities Smile at the world, and they ' ll smile back is the philoso- phy behind the easy-going attitude that ETSU student and beauty queen Donna Stephens has toward life. Stephens, a sophomore from Oak Ridge, is currently pur- suing a baccalaureate degree in nursing. Besides taking a full load of classes, she is very active doing other things such as being Miss Johnson City, serving in the House of Represen- tatives of the Student Government Association, and having a busy social life. Stephens ' original interest in beauty and talent pageants came in high school when she entered the Junior Miss Pageant and was selected second runner-up. Later, in her senior year, she was crowned Prom Queen. In June of 1977, she entered the Miss Johnson City Pag- eant, mainly for the enjoyment and excitement, she says. To her surprise, though, she won! Not only did she win, but the other girls in the pageant voted the attractive brunette Miss Congeniality. As a result of the local pageant, Stephens has been invited to compete in the Miss Tennessee Pageant later this year in Jackson. She attained university recognition in the fall of 1977 by placing in the top five competing for ETSU Homecoming Queen. Stephens ' attitude toward beauty competition is, You have as good a chance as everybody else. You just go out there and do your best. When she goes to the Miss Tennessee Pageant, she says simply that she will do my best and be proud of what I do. Perhaps it is this philosophy that causes her to leave such a fa- vorable and happy impression with those she meets. Stephens was born in Oak Ridge but moved with her family to a farm in Philadelphia, Tenn. She lived there with her par- ents, older brother, and younger sister until age nine, at which time the family moved back to Oak Ridge where she attended Oak Ridge High School. During high school she was on the tennis and softball teams and played French horn in the band. She was also on the Ten- nessee Mountain Clogging Team, and, although she doesn ' t have much time to clog now, she still enjoys it, clogging for the talent portion of recent pageants. Here at ETSU, Stephens has been involved in many things, including marching and concert bands, intramural sports, and Women ' s Interdormitory Council, of which she was secretar ' in 1977-78. She was also president of Carter Hall during the year, a posi - tion which earned her a seat in the House cjf Representatives. In her spare time, Stephens likes to sew, cook, play basket- ball, water ski, dance, sing, and play tennis. And smile, of course.

CAROLYN MILLER The academic world of ETSU got a little smaller, yet ex- panded greatly, In 1977-78 as some 100 foreign students, representing some 33 foreign countries, enrolled for univer- sity study. An additional 13 countries were represented on campus by students and professors who have permanent visas in the U.S. The largest foreign student contingent came from the Af- rican country of Nigeria, followed by countries of the Far East and the Middle East. Reasons for coming to ETSU were varied. Some students have come here because of lower tuition than at many U.S. universities. Some have also been recruited by the athletic department. Others have come because programs offered at ETSU have something to offer them, while others have chosen to attend because friends or relatives have attended previously or are attending the university. Whatever the rea- son, foreign students enrollment during the year as re- corded by the Office of Religious-Foreign Student Affairs increased over the 1976 fall quarter figures, with the number expected to increase again in the fall of 1978. Adjustments foreign students must make upon arrival on campus, for the first time, are many. Financing can be a problem due to mail slowness, but many students are on private funding or sponsored through government scholarships. Adjustments must also be made by the international stu- dent to climate and terrain, in addition to general culture I differentiations, including foods, health practices, and nu- merous things Americans take for granted. Even English poses a problem at times due to different regional accents, as may idiomatic and collegiate terminology. Despite the problems, academic performance by foreign students is proportionately higher than for other students. Many of the foreign students have been selected through a governmental process to attend U.S. schools and have a much greater desire to learn and better discipline for study than the average American student. Special emphasis was given foreign students during the 1977-78 year with the observance of International Week, March 27-31. A highlight of the week ' s activities was an International Dinner, with all meal preparations being done by students. Some ingredients were flown up from the Bahamas or ship- ped from New York City or Washington, D.C., due to unavailability of certain items locally. Proceeds from the dinner went to the Foreign Student Fund. Selected foreign speakers also appeared during the week. Future hopes for international exchange, according to Dennis Lilly, director of religious and foreign student affairs, include an International Month observance and the es- tablishment of an International House, a specifically des- ignated house on or near campus to provide housing for visiting dignitaries and emergency housing for international students. 66 lnternational International Students U-L UVE IKAVEL JL 1— International students relax and enjoy refreshments in the Religious-Foreign Student Affairs Office.

Federal legislation passed in 1973 has made education in- stitutions such as East Tennessee State well aware of this long-silent minority, and efforts to avoid discrimination and insure equal opportunity have become the rule rather than the long-time exception. There were 43 known physically handicapped people on the Johnson City campus in the 1977-78 school year with handicaps ranging from heart conditions, acute asthma, and visual impairment to blindness, extreme diabetes, and amputation. The federal legislation under which federally-funded edu- cational institutions are required to provide for the handi- capped called the Rehabilitation Act, does not require com- plete access to every building and area on a college campus but does attempt to insure adequate opportunities for the handicapped. ETSU has been making provisions for handicapped stu- dents for several years with modifications and handicapped facilities being first added under Dr. Delos P. Gulp ' s admin- istration. Special handicapped programs continued during the 1977-78 year included assigned parking areas for the handicapped, special access ramps to buildings, sidewalk curbing cuts to allow easier accessibility and movement, elevators in buildings, and special bathroom facilities. Six classroom buildings on the ETSU campus remained inaccessible to the handicapped during the year, with a pol- icy of reassignment being implemented by the university for classes involving handicapped students in non-accessible buildings. A special example was seen in the English build- ing which remained totally inaccessible to handicapped and sometimes even to regular students. English classes in- volving handicapped individuals were relocated to Gil- breath or Warf-Pickel halls during the year for increased convenience. The D.P. Gulp Student Genter, the most modernly-de- signed building on campus is currently the most handi- capped-accessible building. Ramps leading from the out- side and ramps in the middle of the building meet handicapped requirements due to design specifications by Bo Abernathy, building architect. The only inaccessible part of the center is the theater which will not allow mobility or handicapped beyond the back areas. An outside sidewalk was suggested during the year to alleviate the problem. For handicapped students who live on campus, special considerations were also continued during the year through the housing office. Six apartments on the women ' s side of campus were maintained with handicapped modifications including special bathroom facilities and front controls on stoves. Ramps to ground floor areas were also available. Men ' s apartments were not built with handicapped provi- sions, but first floor ramps and private bathroom facilities have solved many problems. Money for modification and change has remained a problem, however, according to housing and administration personnel. Future provisions to improve handicapped accessibility on the ETSU campus include close-in access parking zones, more curbing cuts, more extensive class reassignments for handicapped students, and the possible printing of a man- ual for the handicapped in an effort to ease mobility and accessibility. Special problems for handicapped students were en- countered during the year with the opening of Memorial Genter. Although first and third-level areas are accessible via ramps or sidewalks, no provisions were made for per- manent handicapped seating. Construction during the year of a second-floor ramp for medical school personnel was hoped to alleviate some problems, although lack of an ele- vator remains an obstacle. Administration personnel are quick to emphasize the many problems of handicapped students beyond normal access and mobility. Greater awareness and appreciation of handicapped students ' situations would solve many prob- lems, according to Dean of Men Phil Thomas , with a help- ing hand often being a great help and kindness for the handicapped. I A Challenge to Live DAVID HUNTER Glenn Webster can ' t be termed a typical actor, or a typi- cal person, for that matter. For one thing, he has more hobbies than most people. He likes horseback riding, is an expert in riflery, enjoys hunting and he literally loves to sing. In addition, he has been on weight-lifting and wrestling teams, raised animals on a farm and likes to fish. He also plays a little football in his spare time. In general, Webster enjoys life. Few people would guess from his hobbies and various work experiences, however, that he has no legs and only his left arm. He used artificial legs for 18 years, but didn ' t like the way they restricted his mobility. Webster, a 26-year-old junior at ETSU, has worked as a dispatcher for the police department in Chattanooga and for the Hamilton County government. He has also done work for the Tennessee Highway Patrol and, in 1975, was on the governor ' s committee for hiring the handicapped. Webster lost his legs in a house fire when he was four months old. Doctors refused to operate immediately be- cause of his hopeless condition and burned lungs, as he recalls. But when he was still hanging on to life 48 hours later and his lungs had miraculously cleared up, the doctors decided to operate. 1 -Frank Calhoun manages to get around campus with the aid of a large riding lawnmower. 2-Without the aid of either an electric wheelchair or a riding lawnmower, )oe Gilreath receives the help of an understanding friend. 3-Not crippled, but handicapped, Glenn Webster applies make-up to himself prior to his performance in Carousel. 3f His right arm was in fairly good condition, but had to be amputated a year later when a medication mix-up caused it to become infected. The muscular junior didn ' t quit then, and after nearly 300 operations, he still hasn ' t slowed down. I ' ll never let anything stop me. he says. If something is a challenge, I go after it, but it it quits being a challenge, I go after something else. Webster began his college career as an art major, but soon dropped out. Between that time and coming to ETSU, he was involved in a wreck which totaled his car. As a re- sult, he suffered cracked ribs, a broken nose and a severed lip. He recovered in one month in time to enroll at ETSU. Arriving on campus, he initially majored in special educa- tion, but was soon asked to be the sound technician in Man of La Mancha. He was hooked on theater from then on. Besides being make-up assistant in Luther, and make-up director in Wait Until Dark, he played the character Bildad in j.B. and was a singer in Spoon River Anthology. The produc- tion of Carousel in the fall of 1977 saw him play the part of a retired sea captain, as well as coordinating make-up. As a boy, he was given no special favors. One of seven children raised by his grandparents, who are now retired missionaries, he lived on a farm and says they made him work like everyone else. If the rest of them had to get up at four in the morning and do chores, I did too. I had to do just as much work as they did, he says. There seems to be no end to what Glenn Webster can do. Harold Frank, director of Carousel, says, Glenn be- lieves so strongly that he has no handicap that he has others believing it also. He has a keen, active and creative mind. Webster is actually at an advantage without legs which could serve to confine him to a wheelchair. He can get around on his own with no problem. As a matter of fact, he is so good at getting around on his own that he wears out an average of 20 pairs of pants every three months. He says there are two kinds of people with a disability- crippled people and handicapped people. Those who are crippled are those who have given up. Those with a handi- cap are always trying to improve themselves, he says. Webster adds he has not been beaten running downhill, but he does have one slight problem-he hasn ' t figured out how to stop when he gets to the bottom. Handicapped 69 A Really Big Year KAREN FLETCHER Entertainment year No. 2 in the D.P. Gulp Uni- versity Center was filled with nnusic, movies, stars, and students as the University Center Pro- gram Committee (commonly referred to as the UCPC) continued its efforts toward providing enjoyment and educational enlightenment at East Tennessee State University. Dennis Pruitt, assistant director of the center, gave this statement about the function of the UCPC: From our perspective there are three points a student should develop during his col- lege life-the pursuit of knowledge, the skill and expertise in using this knowledge, and a well- rounded and flexible personality. We feel that our function is to aid in the latter two points. The professional center staff, which coordi- nated UCPC activities, consisted of a director of the center, Don Carter; administrative assistant to the center, Bennie Smith; two assistant direc- tors of the center, Dennis Pruitt and Dotti Quaye Chapman; recreational director, Greg Davis; arts-crafts director, Ann Etta Shadoan; and two sound-light specialists, )im Patterson and Steve Campbell. The staff continued its primary func- tion of working with student leadership and stu- dent volunteers on the UCPC to govern and pro- 1-The Loco-Motion Circus keeps its laughing audience enth- ralled with comedy and feats of incredulity. 2-Paul Vick demonstrates one difficult shot that exemplifies his being a National Collegiate Billiards Champion. vide co-curricular activities for the center during the school year. A complete entourage of stu- dent leadership, chaired by Garland Roberts, worked very closely with the center staff to place and present programs planned by ETSU stu- dents, including concerts, dances, performing arts, films, lectures, video, arts and crafts, and recreation. Center video tapes were shown Monday through Friday in the circular room near the post office on the lower level of the center. The tapes shown last fall produced especially for the col- lege audience and not available commercially, included the Ali-Foreman fight, Neil Young- Journey Through the Past, NFL Football Fol- lies, and The Rolling Stones. Movie selections were expanded during the year in the Center Cinema with extra feature films scattered in between regular Wednesday night showings at 6:30 and 9. The year ' s movies included Murder By Death, Mother, Jugs, and Speed, Two Minute Warning, Creature From the Black La- goon, and Nickelodean. Art is not only in the eyes of the beholder, it is 70 Enterfainment -The vibrant Piranha entertains with show and music to initiate the 1977-78 academic year. -I-Hypnolisl )ames Mapes astounds many people with his hypnotic teats. for the beholder. ETSU students were invited to exhibit their works (whether artistic, carving, craftmanship, or novelty in nature) in the Univer- sity Center Art Gallery, in a new development in the UCPC yearly calendar. Rather than exhibit the works of visiting persons in the gallery, it was reserved for the sole exhibitions of students with insurance and proper security provided. Also in the field of arts and crafts, the UCPC continued its offering of a spacious and well-equipped Arts and Crafts Center. Among the available projects were copper embossing, topper enameling, decopage, letter bookends, ash trays, ceramics, string art, quilling, candles, knotwork, macrame, and a potter ' s wheel. Individual selections were countless, with most projects ranging from one to five dollars in cost. In the 1976-77 school year, ETSU had two main programs on campus-a lecture by Sam Er- vin, and a show and dance workshop with the Bhaskar Dancers. Ervin, a United States senator from North Carolina who was chairman of the Watergate hearing committee, lecture on sub- jects concerning the Equal Rights Amendment (he was against it) and Watergate. The Bhaskar Dancers brought to the campus community the rare art of early temple dancing. Each dance told a story, and the history and symbolism was de- scribed before each dance. The dancers were adorned in bright and elborate costumes of the period. Also appearing during the year was Mi- chael Lorimer, a talented guitarist. The 1977-78 year started off with a coffee- house hosting Nina Kahle, a newly-signed recording artist, and a Transition Dance with Pi- ranha. Kahle is a composer pertormer who writes songs for piano, dulcimer, and voice. Pi- ranha is one of Florida ' s finest show and dance bands, having played concerts with such nota- bles as the Spinners, George Benson, The Ohio Players, Rare Earth and the Manhat- tans. With their seven-piece band, they really started off the year swinging. Entertainment 71 Really Big Year On Sept. 22, a group of local musicians, Yel- low Brick Road, drew a capacity crowd in the Rathskellar, an event never before achieved. The members included Mike Carrier, Jeff Williams, Rusty Shadoan, and two new members, Joe Ball and Howie Alexander. To open, they sang a combination of Linda Rondstadt ' s Rivers of Babylon and the Beatle ' s Help. Among the fa- vorities played were songs by John Denver, the Eagles, and the Wright Brothers Overland Stage Company. They also got down with some foot-stomping bluegrass music, including a widespread favorite, Fox on the Run. President Arthur H. DeRosier, Jr., brought the university community up-to-date on the status of internal and external issues in the State of the University Address on Sept. 27. DeRosier sug- gested the need for renovation of dormitories, a library that will be warm in the winter and cool in the summer, a tunnel connecting the gymnasium and the Mini-Dome, an Olympic swimming pool, tennis court lighting, and an updated water system. will not follow where the path may lead, but I will go where there is no path, and I will leave a trail, quoted DeRosier. He sug- gested that the students also leave a trail, a con- tribution to the university. DeRosier stated that students and faculty may expect absolute and total honesty, that their ideas, opinions and aspi- rations could be nurtured in an environment that allows free expression and the guarantees that those beliefs will be taken seriously and will be part of the process that reaches an ultimate decision. Paul Cerni and Steve Vick had a match play and trick shot exhibition of billiards in the Recre- ation Room of the Student Center Sept. 29. Gerni and Vick combined pocket billiard strategy, ac- tion, light-hearted wit and humor, and audience participation to make an amazing presentation. Gerni has won the United States Trick Shot Competition every year since 1974 (four times) while Vick is the National Collegiate Billiards Champion. Together, they bring sophisticated class to any pool and games room. ETSU started off October with a terrific con- cert by the well-known Wright Brothers Over- land Stage Company. The group planned to dis- band after the concert tour. The versatility of the group ranged from down-home bluegrass to in- credible medleys from the Beatles and Neil Dia- mond, with songs by such artists as the Eagles, John Denver, Bob Dylan, and America, as well as the group ' s original material. One of the Wright Brothers biggest hits, American Trilogy, brought a standing ovation from the audience.

When the music began, it became obvious to everyone present that they were witnessing a most unusual and talented group. Geno the Clown, accompanied by his famous chicken, Mr. Fingerlickin, made his presence known throughout the student center on Oct. 5. He performed an array of zany antics-every- thing from juggling to jokes, fire-eating, buffoon- ing, and magic tricks. Geno is also a published author, disc-jockey, TV sportscaster, guitarist, and mailman-in short, a real all-around guy. To Stan off the cultural lecture series, the UCPC brought Dr. Albert Parry to ETSU for a lec- ture entitled Terrorism: Causes and Cures. The world ' s leading expert on terrorism. Parry gave a comprehensive description and analysis of the evolution of terrorism and its manifestations. Parry ' s latest book, entitled Terrorism: From Robespierre to Arafat, is a best seller receiving national attention. Terrorists from Lenin o Hitler to the Black Panthers to the SLA were illumi- nated in depth in his talk.

Shiatsu massage was also taught to cure sinus headaches and colds. On Oct. 13 there was a special program of the performing arts by a group of musicians. The Trio D ' Anches (a French name meaning trio of the reeded instruments). The group performed like the reknown German artists of their heritage with the mellow tones of the oboe, clarinet, and bassoon combining in a most pleasurable man- ner. The intensive work of the artists, spent in molding highly accomplished soloists into a uni- fied concept of tonal blend, phrasing, and inter- pretation, brought a good reception from the audience. Traditionally Homecoming is a time for friend- ship, frollicking fun, and football. This year was no exception with a week of carefully planned activities brought to ETSU by the Student Gov- ernment Association and the UCPC. On Oct. 24, Jerry Rubin, speaking at the Uni- versity Center auditorium, not only told about his leadership in the sixties but demonstrated his public speaking abilities as he kept a firm hold on the attention of the audience.

Referring to the demonstrations at Kent State, Rubin, once a history major, said that it was another case of a university putting property before people, and not having re- spect for our past and traditions. Rubin also said that he learned more in one day of jail than he learned in all of college and that in fact, col- leges were psychological prisons. For Halloween 1977, ETSU was haunted with the sound of Children of the Night, a band from Long Island. Their single Dinner with Drac was good enough for a record and started The Children on a southern tour which started at ETSU. Members of the group included Count Dracula, Frankenstein ' s monster, the Mummy, Igor the Hunchback, and Dr. ]ekyll Mr. Hyde. Students attending were encouraged to wear a costume and prizes for the best and most origi- nal costumes were given. Bounce the clown said it, We are here today because the Olympics were in 1976. Balancing, buttoning, clowning, juggling and, general fun was brought to ETSU students in the Rathskellar by the Loco-Motion Circus. After having per- formed at the Olympics and on national TV, this duo discovered that they had something-some- thing which every audience can enjoy. The UCPC offered a variety of entertainment for the week of Nov. 15. Detief Kraus, one of the world ' s foremost keyboard artists, returned to perform his ETSU encore with the musical spirit that has gained him world-wide attention. On Nov. 17, Tom Parks appeared with the First Na- tional Rotagilla Band. Parks was a very entertain- ing comedian who could make even the college infirmary seem funny. His topics delt with many of the sterotypes people have, varying from foot- ball players to food to term papers to dates. The First National Rotagilla Band (that ' s alligator spelled backwards) was a mixture of comedy and country music. Their first song Blow Me a Piece of Bubblegum was a take-off on the bubblegum music of today. The band cap- tured the audience ' s attention when they finall got around to playing Foggy Mountain Break- down, after five adaptations of it from around the world, including Alpine Mountain Break- down, Flamingo Mountain Breakdown, and Pollack Mountain Breakdown. The UCPC wrapped up fall quarter of 1977 with a lecture entitled A People-Controlled Community by Karl Hess. Hess, once the clean- cut, gray-suited Barry Goldwater speech writer and conservative spokesman for the country, is now a bearded recluse, a tax evader, and a staunch supporter of the New Left (inc luding the Black Panther Party). Hess ' transition trom old Coldwaterism (he helped direct the 1974 Presi- dential campaign) was a haunting storv of the New Left Activism. Entertainment 75 To get the new year of 1978 off to a rolling start, the UCPC scheduled The Graduates, a three-man comedy team, and Megan McDonough. The Graduates originated in Chi- cago ' s famous night spot, Second City. The beginning of their performance had some no- table qualities, with humorous antics such as a satire on a trip to the dentist ' s office. At an age when many people are first considering starting a career in the entertainment business, Megan McDonough finds herself a seasoned profes- sional with credits as a recording artist, television and radio personality, and stage performer from coast to coast. She opened her ETSU perfor- mance with I ' m Ready for the Real Thing, then explained that the songs she sings are self-com- posed and carry a message with them. One es- pecially beautiful song she shared with the au- dience was River of Wishes which was originally a Valentine ' s Day poem which was set to music. On Jan. 19, Cyndi Grecco appeared in concert. Recently signed to a recording contract, Cyndi ' s debut single is the theme song from the popular ABC television series, Laverne and Shirley. The highlight of the year ' s entertainment came in mid-February when Leonard Nimoy, former Spock star of the long-running Star Trek tele- vision show, appeared in a show entitled Spock 1 -April 17, 1978, ETSU witnesses the emotions and vitality of Jose Feliciano. 2— Entertaining with a satirical sense of humor, Tom Parks pokes fun at many college situations. 4- Never has ETSU seen such a cast of ch aracters as in the First National Rota- gilla Band. 5-Spectacular harmonizing by the local group Yellow Brick Road was enjoyed by many people visiting the Rat. 76 Entertainment nra 3- Leonard Nimoy assures the audience that he is not Mr. Spock, a character that is better known than himself. and I. His 10 p.m. show, after a disappointing loss by the basketball Bucs to Middle Tennessee, drew wide local and regional media coverage and a good crowd response. The lonesboro Repetoire Theatre ' s production of 6 Rooms Riv Vu in late January, featured lo- cal and university talent in a well-known situ- ation comedy. Other activities during winter quarter included a concert by Free Wheeling and several Rathskellar dances after basketball games. Also on the calendar was a two-day exhibition entitled Black Oddessy (Art) as part of Black History Week, Feb. 20-24. Chris Miller, contrib- utor and general satirist for National Lampoon and other publications, addressed students in a Feb. 21 lecture. Stan Waterman, the man who filmed The Deep, concluded the UCPC quarterly events with a Feb. 28 lecture, The Filming of The Deep. Waterman ' s lecture was highlighted by film clips of his award-winning, highly-acclaimed film, in addition to films of other ocean adventures. Thus the entertainment year of 1977-78 was weeks and weeks of music, movies, and stars, but most of all, students. The UCPC wouldn ' t have it any other way. Entertainment 77 ETSU Alumnus Now A Met Star A special concert featuring Metropolitan Opera tenor and ETSU alumnus Frank Little highlighted the Christmas season for East Tennessee State University and the Tri-City area. A program of secular, sacred, and classical music featur- ing the Johnson City Symphony Orc hestra with Little as the guest artist was performed before a large crowd in Memo- rial Gymnasium Dec. 1977. Little, a 1958 graduate of ETSU and a current performer for the Met, the Chicago Lyric Opera, and the San Francisco Opera Company, sang selections from The Messiah and Carmen, in addition to O Holy Night and The Christ- mas Song. Little debuted at the Met in early January of 1977 as Nar- raboth in the production of Salome. His performance was the first in 50 years of a male from Tennessee in a featured role. A Greeneville native. Little was first exposed to ETSU through the efforts of Carrie Warrick, a music teacher at Washington College Academy, now retired. Mrs. Warrick learned of Little ' s ability through his singing in the glee club of the academy, and she arranged for him to take lessons at 78 Frank Little 1 -Frank Litlle-ETSU alumnus and Metropolitan Opera Star. 2— Little ' s ef- fortless style enthralled the audience. i-Varying trom classical to popular music, Little combined with the )ohnson City Symphony for a memorable evening. ETSU under the tutelage of Rhea Hunter while he was still in high school. Little and Hunter maintained their relationship throughout his college career, and he credits her with much of his success. A scholarship to the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music was the first major achievement for the East Tennessean af- ter college. While in Cincinnati, he sang under Joseph Krips at the Cincinnati Symphony ' s May Festival. Little slowly acquired a reputation of quality and ability throughout the early years of his career, at one point singing in Spain with soprano loan Sutherland, and again, per- forming in Florence in The Rake ' s Progress. He also worked through a voice change in the early years from baritone to tenor, a process which took years to build his new voice into an instrument of the professional stature. Little began singing with the Chicago Lyric Opera in 1970, an association which gave him the professional experience and exposure that enabled him to reach the stage of the world-famous Metropolitan The actual break that took Little to the stage of the New York opera came in 1976 when he spent an hour singing for James Levine, musical director of the Met. Levine liked what he heard, and the world debut was only a matter of time after that. Frank Little 79 Economic Impact of ETSU— Where Does All the Money Go? JOY DUNCAN Any university is an important con- tributor to the community in which it is located. Beyond its educational, cultural, and public service functions, a university has a direct and indirect monetary impact on the local economy. East Tennessee State University is no exception, but the magnitude of its impact might surprise you. In May 1973, a study of ETSU ' s im- pact on Johnson City was done by Dr. Harold Warren and Dr. Burrell Rich- ardson, professors in ETSU ' s depart- ment of economics. Collection of reli- able data made it necessary to confine the study to Johnson City, de- spite the acknowledged fact that the university ' s impact extends to a much larger geographic area. According to the study the univer- sity provided an annual flow of $18,%0,000 to local individuals in the form of personal income. The univer- sity, faculty, staff and students spent nearly $17,392,000 locally. Over $11,840,000 was spent by the students alone. There is a secondary effect on the economy when the university, faculty, staff, and students use local banks. It means more funds are available for personal and business loans. This in turn means even more local spending on goods and services and more local jobs. These dollars, flowing directly into the economy for purchases of goods and services, initiate a chain of in- direct impacts. This is called a multi- plier effect. It means a portion of any dollar spent locally becomes income for local residents, which in turn is partially respent. This continual spending and respending of local in- come generates additional business volume. Besides the initial $17,392,000 in university-related spending the multi- plier effect generated another $12,913,000 in local business for a to- tal of over $30 million. This total was 10 percent of Johnson City ' s annual business volume in 1973. The multiplier process also works in employment, with ETSU thus ac- counting directly and indirectly for 2,485 local jobs. This means that one of every five employees in Johnson City can attribute his job to the university. These figures are minimum esti- mates. As the number of students has grown, so has the faculty and sup- porting staff, causing even greater in- creases in the monetary impact on the community. The 1976-77 state budget appro- priation for ETSU of $20,745,964 rep- resented an approximate 13 percent increase over the 1973 study base fig- ures, thus providing more direct eco- nomic impact than earlier surveyed. State budget appropriations for 1977- 78 amounted to an approximate 30 percent increase over the study totals, while appropriations for the 1978-79 school year are estimated to be some eight percent over this year, totalling some $24.1 million. The opening of the medical school in the fall of 1978 will have its own im- pact. Estimates are that by 1981 it will increase local business volume by $20 million annually and, in the process, provide approximately 900 local jobs. Admittedly, there are additional costs to the city generated by the uni- versity—especially on local govern- ment as it provides services for the in- creased population. But it is usually assumed that the university ' s benefits to the community far outweigh the costs incurred. That ' s what ETSU does for Johnson City. But what does it do for its students? There has been a study on that, too. This one, A Study on East Tennessee State University Graduates, was done by Dr. Jerry H. Rust, Jr., director of the Office of Research and Infor- mation Systems. Results showed that ETSU alumni who graduated from 1972 to 1975 rated their overall programs and their major programs very favorably. This was especially true of those who re- ceived degrees in the biological sciences and health professions. When questioned as to the suit- ability of their educations in preparing them for the world of work, graduate degree holders rated their educations consistently high. Bachelor degree holders felt their educations provided good to excellent preparation for work, though there were some dis- satisfaction evidenced in every field except communications. Only 8.7% of the bachelor degree holders and 6.1% of the graduate de- gree holders required more than six months to find a job. And only 7% were unemployed at a time when unemployment was relatively high. Economic estimates and studies are often misleading, and criticism of the university ' s effect on Johnson City is heard yearly. Most students and citi- zens will agree, though, that Johnson City is a university town in easily discernible ways and that what affects the university affects the city. Favorable trends seem to be estab- lished in the past and future rates of spending and economic impact of the university in the area, and in the pre- ponderance of favorable questionaire responses. Whatever the opinion, though, 10,000-plus students and hun- dreds of teaching and support per- sonnel carry weight. So, relax! you ' ve got clout. 80 Economics The Inauguration of a President CAROLYN MILLER The brass fanfare sounded. Ttie long processional of scholars in their academic regalia and other invited guests filed into Memorial Center. The formal inauguration of Dr. Arthur H. DeRosier, jr. as the sixth president of East Tennessee State University, had begun. The singing of the National Anthem signaled the program ' s start, with an invocation and official greetings from Louise Wexler, representing the alumni. Penny White, representing the student body. Dr. Robert Patton, rep- resenting the faculty. Dr. Roy Nicks, representing the Board of Regents and representatives from the Tennes- see Higher Education Commission and the city of Johnson City following. Special music by the East Tennes- see State University Choir proceded the inaugural Address, delivered by Dr. Porter Fortune, |r. The Investiture of the President was conducted by )ohn Jones, vice-chair- man of the State Board of Regents, with the president ' s response follow- ing. Recognition of delegates and the singing of the Alma Mater finished the program. The pomp and ceremony was the climax of nine days of events and pro- grams marking the dedication of the Institute of Appalachian Affairs and the inauguration of Dr. Arthur H. De- Rosier, Jr., ETSU ' s sixth president. Months of planning by numerous committees, under the general chair- manship of Dr. Robert Botkin, assis- tant vice-president for academic af- fairs, preceded the two events. The committees were composed of fac- ulty, student, and community mem- April 20-28, 1978 bers to obtain a cross representation of ideas. The pomp and ceremony was the climax of nine days of events and programs marking the dedication of the Institute of Appalachian Af- fairs and the inauguration of Dr. Arthur H. De- Rosier, Jr., ETSU ' s sixth president. It seemed appropriate that the dedication of the Institute of Appala- chian Affairs and Dr. DeRosier ' s in- auguration share dual honors. The two events were distinct, yet inter- woven. Dr. DeRosier was responsible for the establishment of the Institute. During the planning stages, he visited various governing and financial boards to gain support for the idea, and today, remains the inspiration be- hind it. The events celebrating the in- auguration and the dedication began on April 20, with the opening of the Appalachian and Tennessee Arts and Crafts Exhibit. The exhibit was open to the public daily throughout the week. The Appalachian Studies Confer- ence, April 20-22, was highlighted by the presence of Wilma Dykeman, noted novelist, author of Tennessee ' s bicentennial book and scholar of Ap- palachian literature. It was appro- priate that Mrs. Dykeman appear as the keynote speaker of the confer- ence. In doing so, she became the first Stokely Lecturer. The Stokely Lec- turer is a newly endowed lecture fund established in memory of Jim Stokely, Mrs. Dykeman ' s late husband. The lecture will be an annual event. Other lectures on Appalachian studies were presented in papers by four scholars on April 21. A banquet was held that evening at which Cratis Williams, special assistant to the chancellor at Appalachian State Uni- versity, was the guest speaker. On the evening of April 22, the Ap- palachian Music Festival, a concert of country and folk music, was presented. ETSU ' s Sherrod Library contains a large collection of Appalachian litera- ture and material which has never been organized. On April 24, the Ap- palachian Room of the library was dedicated for the purpose of housing this material, the first major collection of the university. Huges Rudd, noted NBC morning newscaster and a special favorite of Dr. DeRosier, gave the inauguration lecture April 26. The final event was a piano concert performed by Natalia da Roza the evening of April 27. Miss da Roza was a colleague of Dr. DeRosier at the University of Mississippi. She was ac- companied on some numbers by a chamber group formed by and in- cluding City Symphony Orchestra. All programs and events of the in- auguration and dedication were opened to the students of ETSU and the general public.

A 2 4 T 92 Graduation COMMENCEMENT the end and the beginning CATHLEEN SULLIVAN The college career comes to an end and although one has njoyed it, one is ready to move on. But before any ETSU graduates saw their diplomas, there ere numerous odd jobs and last minute details to be at- ended to. F or example, forms had to be filled out. These ranged nywhere from one to 12 pages. There were applications ar degrees, area major sheets, area minor sheets, alumni in- 3rmation blanks, placement forms, etc. In addition to all the thousands of dollars the hopeful raduate had already put into his or her education, how- ver, it also cost a little more just to get out of school. A diploma fee of $15 and a binding folder fee of $4.25 ere two conspicuous costs. Of course, the library book lat was lost during the freshman year and that had been eglected until now suddenly cost $20 to replace. There always seemed to be a few forgotten parking tick- ts from across the years also that, unfortunately, someone Ise remembered. All the little fees gradually became quite xpensive, and costs of robes, mortarboards, hoods, class ngs, and senior portraits were not even included. As if all this wasn ' t enough to keep anyone busy, the raduate still had to polish up last quarter term papers, in ddition to trying to grab a few last minute memories of ollege. By the time graduation and the diploma arrived, it eemed it would take four more years just to recover! When the hopeful graduate finally made it to the Friday loming ceremony after the last quarter, however, the f 6 ...

Speakers ranging from former ETSU President Dr. D.P. Culp to Tennessee ' s U.S. Senator Jim Sasser addressed the graduates in ceremonies during 1977-78 . After the ceremonies came reunion times with family and friends and an overwhelming desire to do something rarely ac- complished over the last four years-sleep. While 10,037 students were enrolling in ETSU fall quar- ter, over 200 were leaving. The College of Arts and Sciences graduated 99 of that first quarter total, the Col- lege of Education, 63, the College of Business, 38, and the College of Health, 34. Totals for winter and spring gradu- ations were larger.

The easy going, slow-moving mountain society has been modified but not destroyed by the development of cultural, industrial and educational centers within the valley. If you pause, look around and feel the magical attraction, you too will want to join the thousands, including two United States presidents, who have chosen this area as the place to prepare for their future. Johnson City is located in Washington County, Tenn., 22 miles from the Virginia state line and 36 miles from the North Carolina border. |ohnson City, Bristol (Tennessee- Virginia) and Kingsport comprise the Tri-Cities, recently designated as a major metropolitan area. The population of Johnson City is 39,875; Washington County has 79,350 residents. Major highways in the area include U.S. Hwy. 11-E, 19-W, 23, 321, 411, 1-81, and the Appalachian Highway (State Route 137). Average annual temperatures of the area are: minimum, 46.1, maximum, 67.5, mean, 56.8; precipitation: 41.06 inches annually; seasonal snowfall 16.3 inches; relative humidity (normal).

Cultural opportunities are available through the community theater, the civic chorale and the Johnson City Symphony Orchestra. Bristol is located in the upper northeast corner of Sullivan County, Tenn. Because Bristol ' s main street follows the boundary of Tennessee and Virginia, the city is shared by the two states. The population of Bristol, within the city limits of Tennes- see, is 24,714; within the city limits of Virginia, 20,106. The total population within city limits is 44,820.

Children ' s Theater and Bar- ter Theater (in nearby Abingdon, Virginia) are two of several area offerings. Also included are the Olde West Dinner The- ater, Bristol Ballet Company, Bristol Country Club, King Col- lege and Holston Valley golf facilities, and Steel Creek and Tri-Cities Golf and Country Club. There are also three drive- ins and three movie theaters. A special attraction is Bristol Caverns, an underground fairyland to delight visitors of all ages. Paved and well- lighted walkways allow one to see vaulted chambers and an ancient underground river that carved unbelievable caverns from the core of the earth 400 to 600 million years ago. The caverns are located on Highway 421, five miles southeast of Bristol, Tenn., and are open year round. Special sightseeing parties, nature-study groups and classroom groups are always welcome. Kingsport is situated in the northwestern corner of Sulli- van County, Tenn., 22 miles north of Johnson City, close to the Virginia line. It stretches along the Holston River which winds through the foothills of the beautiful Appalachian Mountains. It is about 160 miles southwest of Roanoke, and 90 miles northeast of Knoxville on U.S. Highway 11-W and Interstate 81. w  The population of Kingsport is 31,928, while Sullivan County has 127,328. Major highways around Kingsport includt- U.S. Highways 23, 1-81, 11 -W, State 1, 36, 93, 126, and Statt ' Route 1 57 (Ap- palachian Highway). Medical facilities in the Kingsport area include two hospi- tals (one community and one privately owned), clinics, and a public health center. The city has a well-organized recreation department with a full-time director and staff. Programs offered include gym- l-The Nolichucky River-a national wilderness river. 2-A surviving relic of yesterday-the covered bridge over Doe River in Elizabethton. nasties, dance, drama and theater, basketball, softball, base- ball, swimming, tennis, exercise, arts, and crafts. There are two public pools, seven playgrounds and 10 parks of vari- ous sizes. Kingsport also has a Fine Arts Center which offers every- thing from theater productions to craft classes. For enter- tainment, there are bowling lanes, a skating rink, movie the- aters, a dinner theater, several private clubs, and an 18-hole public golf course at Warrior ' s Path State Park adjacent to the city limits. Bays Mountain Park, located near the city, offers a plan- etarium, nature trails, a barnyard nursery, and other activi- ties of interest to young and old alike. Elizabethton, completely surrounded by mountains, is lo- cated in Carter County, six miles from Johnson City, 21 miles from Bristol, 29 miles from Kingsport, and 39 miles from Greeneville. The population of Elizabethton is 12,269, with surround- ing Carter County having 43,259 residents. Major highways around Elizabethton include U.S. High- ways 19-E, 321, State Routes 91 and 67. Medical facilities of the area include Carter County Me- morial Hospital and two nursing homes. Some of the facilities in Elizabethton include municipal 1-Onc e a territorial capitol building-Rocky Mount now serves as a mu- seum. 2-The Nolichucky is well-known as a springtime haven for tubing amateurs. pools, public pools, one membership pool with guest privi- leges, municipal tennis courts, three lighted baseball dia- monds, one stadium for football, public bowling, and 18- hole golf course, two theaters and one drive-in. The Tri-Cities Airport is centrally located approximately 15 miles from Johnson City, Bristol, and Kingsport. It is an impressive modern facility which is easily accessible to more than a million people within a 50-mile radius. The airport serves Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, and North Carolina with connections available to any part of the world. Service airlines are Piedmont, South- ern and Allegheny. Jonesboro, an historical landmark, is located approxi- mately six miles from Johnson City. It was the first town es- tablished west of the Appalachians by the North Carolina Legislature in 1779. It served as the capitol of the lost State of Franklin and was a major stop- ping point on the Old Stage Road. In 1781, the first courthouse west of the Blue Ridge Mountains was constructed in Jonesboro. The Chester Inn, built in 1797 by Dr. William P. Chester, is the oldest structure. It has served as an inn, a tavern, a hotel and an apartment house. Guests have included Presidents Andrew Johnson, Andrew Jackson, James K. Polk, and Governor John Sevier. Jonesboro ' s Courthouse Square, a symbol of American justice, is filled with historic significance. It was here that Andrew Jackson was admitted to the bar in 1788 and sat as judge of the Superior Court in 1802. With federal assistance, Jonesboro is completing an extensive restoration and preservation program. Although the town is rapidly becoming a major tourist attraction, it retains the elements of early parlor and a salt house, along with shops special- izing in area arts and crafts. The oak tree, recently adopted as Jonesboro ' s town symbol, was chosen to reflect Historic Jones- boro ' s Heritage of Freedom— a symbol that repre- sents America ' s strong sense of freedom with roots deep in the differing backgrounds of our people— and representing our nation ' s history of continuous growth like the mighty oak tree grown from the tiny acorn. In addition to historic Jonesboro, there are many landmarks of early America within easy driving distance. Rocky Mount is the oldest territorial capitol building in the nation. It is located seven miles northeast of Johnson City on Highway 11-E. This historical shrine is open to visitors daily from April to November for a $1 fee. Here one can step back in history to 1768 when the first settlers came to the Watauga-Holston area seeking freedom. Sycamore Shoals is the site of the first permanent settlement in the western states and the landmark of the first American free government. It is located in Elizabethton on High,way 321. Tipton Haynes Farm is a registered historic site and is noted for its restored buildings and for the fact that it is a working farm. It is located near 1 -Author Teresa Wolfe poses beside waterfalls located near the Nollchucky River. 2-Febuary Hill is another interesting old home in )onesboro-also the home of President Emeritus Burgin E.

Davy Crockett Birthplace, located on a fork of the Nolichicky River, has been restored and developed as a park. A camping area is located nearby. Andrew Johnson National Shrine includes the restored houses of America ' s 17th President (both his home and his tailor shop) and the national cemetery where he is buried. Located in downtown Green- eville, the residence is surrounded by many other buildings of histori- cal and architectural interest. The Covered Bridge, located in Elizabethton, is one of the few re- maining structures of its type in the nation. Netherland Inn and its restored outbuildings are located opposite the lower end of famed Long Island, marking the starting point for early flatboat trips down the Tennessee River (Kingsport-Old High- way 11-W). Deery Inn is one of several structures of historic significance located in Blountville (south of Bristol). Of particular interest are restored slave quarters and antique furnishings. Reece Museum is located on the East Tennessee State University campus and features exhibits of local and international interest in its six galleries. A permanent collection representing early 18th and 19th cen- tury life in Tennessee is shown Tuesday through Saturday from 1 p.m. until 5 p.m. Admission is free. Area recreation opportunities are varied, offering faci- lities both for the serious outdoorsman and weekend sportsman. TVA Lakes included in the area are: Fort Pat- rick Henry Lake located near Kingsport, Boone Lake be- tween Johnson City and Kingsport, South Holston Lake near Bnstol, and Watauga Lake located between Eliza- bethton and Mountain City. At all of these one may swim, water ski, picnic, fish or just relax. State parks of the area consist of Warrior ' s Path off Highway 23 near Kingsport and Roan Mountain off State Route 143 near Roan Mountain, Tennessee. National forest facilities for camping are: Jacob ' s Creek at South Holston Lake, Backbone Rock in Shady Valley, Carden ' s Bluff at Watauga Lake, Dennis Cove on Laurel Fork near Hampton, Limestone Cove near Unicoi, Rock Creek near Erwin, Horse Creek and Old Forge off High- way 107 near Creeneviile, and Paint Creek off Highway 70 between Creeneviile and North Carolina. National forest areas used for picnicking only are: Rat Branch, Watauga Point, Y ' s Men and Shook Branch, all of which are located around Watauga Lake. Other sites for picnicking only are the Laurels near Johnson City, Stamping Grounds located on Unaka Mountain, and Beauty Spot on Beauty Nature Drive near Erwin. Resorts are plentiful throughout the region and cater to a variety of recreational interests. For example. Beech Mountain, situated in Banner Elk, N. Carolina, is only an hour away from Johnson City. It is one of many ski resorts that hundreds of people from the area enjoy each winter. Gatlinburg, gateway to the Smokies, is an hour and a half ' s drive southwest of lohnson City. • ■; ' -«l ii; Administration 1 04 Administration State Board of Regents The State University and Community College System of Tennessee The Honorable Ray Blanton (ex officio), Chairman Mr. Martin A.

' Dr. Arthur H. DeRosier, )r., who served his first year as ETSU ' s presi- dent in 1977-78, has many plans for the university, but all of them can be reduced to one goal: the improve- ment of the quality of education at every opportunity. His goal was reflected many ways during the year. Some changes al- ready in progress when he took the helm, such as the newly-formed ETSU College of Medicine, received his whole-hearted support, while other changes, such as the proposed switch to the Southern Conference in athlet- ics, felt much more of DeRosier ' s per- sonal touch. No matter where the changes originated, however, most fell in line with improvement of the quality of educational functions and services which ETSU offers— precisely DeRosier ' s personal goal. Assuming the presidency July 1, 1977, DeRosier brought many quali- fications to his job as the sixth presi- dent in ETSU ' s history. The 45-year- old scholar came back to ETSU after having served as the vice-chancellor of the University of Mississippi in Ox- ford for three years. He was formerly employed at ETSU as a professor of history from 1967-74, dean of the School of Graduate Studies from 1%7-72, director of the Research Ad- visory Council from 1%8-72, co-di- rector of the Appalachian Consortium 1971-74, and the first and only vice- president for administration from 1972-74. Prior teaching experience has come at the University of Oklahoma, the University of Southern Mississippi, Converse College, and The Citadel. The native of Connecticut ' s other honors throughout an outstanding ca- reer include service in the Air Force as an instructor in the Radio Operator School, a B.S. degree from the Univer- sity of Southern Mississi ppi in 1953, and M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of South Carolina in 1955 and 1959, respectively. He is married to the former Delores lordan of Columbia, Miss. They have four children: Deborah Ann, 24; Mar- sha Carol, 22; Charles Arthur, 19; and Melissa, 13. The DeRosier touch on the univer- sity became quickly evident in the summer months of 1977 as new ad- ministrators and departments were created and administrative structure overhauled as part of the quality, not quantity program initiated in search of a university-wide positive image. Studies of professional groups of campus, local, and regional attitudes toward the university formed bases for directions of policies and changes as DeRosier sought to motivate the university under his leadership. A complete restructuring of the uni- versity ' s committee system resulted in the creation of eight ad hoc com- mittees, and 37 standing University Committees, involving students, fac- ulty, and administrators. His State of the University ad- dress before a small audience in Sep- tember 1977 saw him challenge ad- ministrators, faculty, and students toward new heights of academic and general university excellence. It is the faculty and the students that will make this university great, he stated. I can only serve as the catalyst for other people ' s aims and aspirations. I will not follow where the path may lead, but I will go where there is no path, and I will leave a trail, he quoted in philosophizing about his presidential role. He further pledged, Absolute and total honesty, that . . . ideas, opinions, and aspirations can be nurtured in an environment that al- lows free expression and that guaran- tees that those beliefs will be taken seriously and will be part of the pro- cess that reaches an ultimate decision. Expect that I wi ll work very, very hard each day on behalf of the institution, that I will be fair and honest, and that I will welcome all expressions that are honestly offered. Plans for traffic and parking situ- ation changes, dormitory renovations, library heating and cooling changes, a possible connecting tunnel between Memorial Gymnasium and Memorial Center, an Olympic-size swimming pool or aquatic center, lighted tennis courts, and an updated water system were all met with eager, although ad- mittedly cynical, receptions by stu- dents, faculty and staff. Despite the cynicism, however, changes were quickly noted. The opening of Memorial Center for the 1977 football season and much greater promotion of the overall ath- letic program were eagerly accepted as positive signs. A periodic question- and-answer session with students was also well received throughout the year as the presidency emerged from a somewhat shadowy veil of previous years. Academic emphasis and dis- cussion of change to the semester system from the current quarter sys- tem were taken as positive signs also. It was undoubtedly a rough year for DeRosier and ETSU with transitions and chaotic movement, but by mid- March, earlier statements were begin- ning to ring true and bring new hope for growth of the university. His ideas of the university ' s future, as stated in a 1977 Alumni Quar- terly article, were prophetic in their concem for public image— We ' re go- ing to take an aggressive and positive public relations image. I see no prob- lem in my mind in getting this univer- sity to 15,000. And we ' re going to compete. The image of this institution is going to be projected everywhere in this area, from bumper stickers to public service announcements on television to new directions for the campus FM radio station. In every- thing, we ' re going to take a positive approach. As DeRosier earlier stated to alumni, With this area ' s potential, in- dustrial base and growth, and thou- sands of loyal alumni and friends, I ' m convinced there are unlimited possi- bilities for external help to give us that margin of excellence. The possibilities are very exciting and I want to be a part of them. The basic outlook I anticipate is for re-examination and rededication and taking a positive approach to education. Within five years, we ' ll be competing with Memphis State. After 10 years, I hope we ' ll be competing with much larger schools than Mem- phis State. I do believe, though, that people are waiting for an academic institution in the state ' s most d namic growth area to start leading the parade, and we v ill do that. I really believe that, and that ' s the reason I accepted the position over other positions . . . with the full knowledge that I need the most talented folks available doing their jobs, making the hard decisions, inspiring the faculty, understanding and relating with students, as we try to solve the problems that plague higher education today. That ' s my dream— a great univer- sity serving great people, and, if at all possible, we will succeed. 3-With papers in front of each member, matters of business are quickly and com- prehensively covered. 4— Executive assistant, Dan Russo, intently regards the mat- ters of affairs being said by Dr. Mobley, dean of College of Medicine. 5-Looking over the shoulder of the president of the university does not give one a true esti- mate of the immensity of his job. 1 08 Administration Administration is Communication )OHN HOWZE According to ETSU President Arthur H. DeRosier, )r., Admin- istration is 70 percent com- munication. With that philosophy in mind, a new idea in campus adminis- tration was put into effect for the 1977-78 school year-that of the President ' s Council. The council consists of 11 key per- sonnel within the university and the president. One of the most unusual features is the fact that the council is not a decision- making body, instead serving as the highest level advisory group to the President. This fact alone may account for the openness and idea-flow which DeRosier found the group stimulated during the year. Be- fore the council was initiated, he said, administrative leaders had a tendency to deal with the president on a one-to-one basis with little exchange of ideas among the group. Now, if some- one has a problem or sugges- tion, we sit down and any one who wants to comments on it. I listen to everyone ' s comments and suggestions, which help me in the decision I must make. The 11 council members other than the President include Vice- President for Academic Affairs Dr. Chris Bramlett who repre- sents his section of administra- tion on the body, as do David Kite (Business Affairs), Dr. Dor- man G. Stout (Student Personnel Services), and Fred Middleton (University Relations). Other council members in- clude Dean of the Medical School Dr. lack Mobley; Direc- tor of Internal Research, Sys- tems, and Planning Dr. |erry Rust; Director of Development William McCarthy; Director of Budgeting William Miller; and Athletic Director Madison Brooks. Rounding out the list are University Engineer John Rob- erts and Executive Assistant to the President Daniel Russo. The council met each Monday throughout the year, and DeRo- sier accented the informal but highly productive nature of the discussions which occurred. Aside from the fact that many of the council ' s members appeared to be on better terms with one another at the end of the year than they were when the meet- ings first got underway, DeRo- sier stressed the overall en- hancement of the entire university ' s operation as a result of the meetings with key per- sonnel becoming more aware of each other ' s problems by free comment and criticism. I don ' t think any unit can work independently of other areas, said DeRosier of the council. We are service ori- ented. We are here to serve the needs of the students. If you take a student body, add faculty members and staff, a library, and some labs and equipment, you have a univer- sity. That ' s all a university is. That ' s what it ' s all about. It seems to me that we ' re sup- posed to help these (areas) do their ' thing ' better. Perhaps those words best de- scribe the purpose behind the President ' s Council, a body which represents one of the best aspects of the new ETSU image for 1977-78, and one that looks to improve in the future. Adniinistration 109 Vice-president for Academic Affairs Dr. Christopher L. Bramlett traded the Crimson Tide of Alabama for the Blue and Gold of East Tennessee in 1977- 78 in becoming ETSU ' s vice-president for Academic Affairs. Bramlett, formerly assistant vice-president for research at the University of Alabama, assumed the vice-presidency on July 1, 1977, as the result of an advisory committee ' s selec- tions and Dr. DeRosier ' s personal decision. A native of Haywood County, N.C., the 39-year-old educator and administrator includes in his portfolio B.S. and M.A. degrees in chemistry from Wake Forest University, and a Ph.D. from the University of Virginia in 1967 where he held the Philip Francis Dupont Fellowship. He later joined the University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa as an assistant professor of chemistry, and by 1973 had be- come associate dean of the graduate school. During this period, he was named Alabama ' s first university research coordinator, a position which later led to his appointment as assistant vice-president for research. He is married to the former Patricia Ann Starnes of Albe- marle, N.C., and the couple have three children: Susan Ruth, 11; Lewis Parker, 9; and John Frances, 7. Bramlett is the author of numerous papers and articles, a member of the American Chemical Society, Alabama Acad- emy of Science, Rotary International, and a fellow of the American Institute of Chemists. Duties of the vice-president at ETSU have been varied and interesting. As the top officer of academic affairs at the university, he has headed an acade mic council which makes policies and decisions concerning academic pursuits. Much emphasis was also given during the year to the pos- sible change of the university from the present quarter sys- tem to semesters in an attempt to improve academic stan- dards and alignment with other major universities. Robert R. Botkin, assistant vice-president for academic affairs, assisted Bramlett in academic duties after his fall 1977 appointment. Botkin, who has taught philosophy at ETSU since 1%5, received his B.A. degree from LaCrange College in 1958, a B.D. and Ph.D. degrees from Emory Uni- versity in 1961 and 1964, respectively, and a Distinguished Faculty Member award in 1975. The office coordinated activities of the six colleges and school of graduate studies on the ETSU campus during 1977-78. A new Office of Contracts and Grants was created under academic affairs ' jurisdiction. Morton Cooper served as director of the office in its coordination of federal, local, and regional monies coming into the university, a fulfillment of special emphasis begun under the DeRosier administration. Dr. James W. Loyd continued in his capacity as dean of Admissions and Records as the university maintained en- rollment of over 10,000 throughout the year. Fall quarter enrollment figures saw some 10,037 students studying in university courses. Dr. Edward M. Walters assumed the new position of di- rector of libraries in 1977-78, an office which promised to have greater significance under the DeRosier administration with its greater emphasis on research and academic excellence. Dr. Benjamin E. Carmichael shifted offices to assume leadership of the extended services staff. Carmichael, who had been a professor of special education, worked with continuing education, cooperative education and non-de- gree program personnel in activities which also encom- passed university centers off the Johnson City campus. Former Dean of Continuing Education Carl W. Holland worked with Carmichael as assistant dean. Dr. Christopher L. Bramlett Vice-president for Academic Affairs Dr. Robert R.

Ihlenfeld Coordinator, Non-Degree Programs 110 Administration Business Affairs As acting head of the Business Affairs branch of the ETSU administration, David L. Kite assumed responsibility for vir- tually all aspects of financial operation of the expanding university. Kite, who is active in the First Presbyterian Church of Johnson City and the Johnson City Rotary Club, came to the university as chief accountant in 1968. He and his wife, Judy, have two children, Kathy, 16, and Karen, 12. Kite succeeded outgoing Solon Gentry July 1, 1977, in the business manager ' s position, a very difficult, yet vitally im- portant, slot of university operations which has duties far beyond the confines of one office or department of the university. A certified public accountant. Kite oversees university payroll operations, payment of bills, collection of students ' fees, and university investments. He also serves to bring to- gether several loose ends financially for smoother operation of the school, in addition to handling all personnel records of the university, and hiring and sponsoring supervisory checks of its own staff. He feels one of the most exciting things going on right now is in part of the business office he left. We are getting our accounting system on line, he stated in early March of this year. This means we will soon be capable of entering data through terminals directly into the computer. We will also have the capability for terminal inquiry and real-time budget information. We are looking forward to completion of this changeover. Offices which come under Kite ' s jurisdiction as acting di- rector include purchasing, directed in 1977-78 by Bruce Bal- lard. This office coordinates the volumnious paper work in- volved in government bids and purchasing, and maintains records of purchases by departments and university groups. Patsy Leach served as acting director of personnel in 1977-78, another office which comes under Business Affairs ' jurisdiction. Numerous hirings and personnel shifting due to administrative changes kept her and her staff busy through- out the year. Harold Johnson coordinated work of the bursar ' s office during the year, overseeing much of the tedious paper work of student fees ' billing and receipts and deposits. A new position, director of auxiliary enterprises, was filled by Scotty Snyder during the fall of 1977 in an attempt to centralize aspects of the university ' s financial structure. Jim Seaborn worked as director of the physical plant dur- ing the year, while John Knox was one of the busiest mem- bers of the Business Affairs staff in his work as director of Memorial Center. Ken Long assumed the post of chief of campus security in the fall of 1977, with Ralph Johnson serving as assistant chief. Rosemary Barson continued in her capacity as man- ager of the University Press, while post office activities fell under business office jurisdiction, also. A2 David L.

Administration Ill student Personnel Services In case you haven ' t heard the analogy of the road and the cliff, Dean of Students Dorman G. Stout will gladly tell it to you. The analogy represents ideas that are a portion of his phi- losophy, especially where students are concerned. The story, in his own words, goes something like this: There is a road that runs through some mountains which, after rounding a sharp curve, comes suddenly to the edge of a cliff and ends. What you have here is a dangerous situation, but how do you warn people? Do you install a sign, knowing that some people will not heed it and will plunge to their deaths? Or do you build a barrier across the road at the edge of the cliff, even though some people will be going too fast and crash through the wall? The proper thing would be to reroute the road, but any way you treat the situation, some people are going to be screaming that you have deprived them of their rights. Stout feels that certain questions have plagued student personnel offices for decades. Some examples: How do we best get the student to help himself? How much do we have to do, literally, for the student, recognizing the differ- ence between doing things for him and doing things to him? Which programs should be required, and which ones voluntary? He feels much of this depends on the degree of hurt, the likelihood of recurrence, and expensiveness which result from students being allowed to make decisions for them- selves. We want to help the student without sacrificing other programs and services. One of our strongest concerns is the waste in human talents, not developed in the rever- sals, delays, and confusions caused by the student ' s er- roneous assumptions. We all fail to fully check things at some time. We just make assumptions, some of which are f 1 not correct, and this causes many of the problems which we encounter. For me, there is a thrill, a real joy, in relating to the variety of needs which our students present. We get a lasting satisf . action in the development and growth we see them experie- nce. Dean of Men Phil Thomas and Dean of Women Willene Paxton coordinate various activities concerning student rea- lations within the university structure, as well as fraternity and sorority activities, respectively. Thomas is also in charge of parking permits and parking violations ' records and ap- peals while both deans serve as disciplining agent for the university students. Financial aid procedures are coordinated by Dr. Perry Counts, work which involves part-time jobs on and off campus, short-and long-term loans, and scholarships and grants, in addition to financial counseling. Housing activities under the direction of Joan Dressel were hectic during the year with too many students and too little space. Dorm renovation and improvement of facilities were important items also. Dennis Lilly continued in direction of the Office of Reli- gious and Foreign Student Affairs, acting as liaison and gen- eral trouble-shooter for international students on the ETSU campus, in addition to assisting campus religious organiza- tion in activities and ministry. Placement under Dr. Calvin Mercer moved to the Univer- sity Center in an effort to increase student awareness of the office in its assistance toward full-time postgraduate employment. Don Carter, as director of the University Center, had a in- credibly busy year as the magnificient structure continued to attract wide local regional interest for activities, in addi- tion to accomodation of a wide variety of University Center Program Committee activities.

A native of Aimwell, La., he earned his master ' s degree from Louisiana State University after graduating from Loui- siana Tech in 1936. He has continued his dedication to his duties as athletic director since 1973 as he did at the head of Buccaneer basketball squads for 25 years. Important changes for the athletic department were seen during the year in the increased monetary expenditures and university emphasis on women ' s sports. The opening of Memorial Center also served to signify a totally different di- rection as athletic programs and intercollegiate athletics moved into some of the best facilities in the country. Janice C. Shelton, assistant director of athletics, assumed much greater responsibility during the year with her promo- tion to second-in-command of intercollegiate athletics. Having received her B.S. degree from Georgetown Col- lege in 1%6 and an M.A. degree from the University of Ken- tucky in 1968; Shelton assumed her previous duties of coordinating women ' s athletics in 1974 after joining the uni- versity in 1968 as a physical education instructor, director of women ' s intramurals, and basketball coach. Two other important changes for the department came in the hiring of a ticket manager to handle ticket sales and pro- motion. Roger Newton, 1976 graduate of ETSU returned to the area to assume the multi-faceted job. Although classified officially as part of the budgeting de- partment, he worked with the athletic department in order- ing and dispensing tickets, organizing ticket promotions, and handling seating arrangements and promotional activi- ties, in addition to many other duties associated with the opening of Memorial Center. ). Madison Brooks Director, Athletics Janice C. Shelton Assistant Director, Athletics A new concept in university administra;ion was initiated in July of 1977 with the creation of the Office of Devel- opment under the direction of William H. McCarthy. 1-Dr. Dorman C. Stout, Dean of Students. 2-William H. McCarthy, Direc- tor of Development. -].

Working with a program which raised some $200,000 in 1976-77, the development office reported some $647,000 raised from July 1, 1977, to Feb. 28, 1978, over a 300 percent increase. Total cash of almost $400,000 was contributed. A goal of $1.2 million was set for the ETSU Foundation, a branch of the Office of Development, in January, with the Annual Fund Drive begun for the purpose of raising $100,000 to match a challenge gift of the same amount. Denne Cade, director of the ETSU Foundation, v orked through the private non-profit, tax-exempt corporation to provide a margin of excellence and opportunity for the uni- versity. The Foundation, established in 1970, received money through solicitation, with Cade working to receive and administer gifts and bequests for the benefit of the university. Also included as a branch of development is the ETSU Pi- rate Club, a group which operates under the sponsorship of the Foundation under the direction of Doug Newton for athletic fund-raising purposes. Also centered under development ' s jurisdiction is the ETSU Alumni Office, of which Basil Maltsberger continued as director. Maltsberger and Field Secretary Ted Hughes worked during 1977-78 to increase alumni participation through tours, special campus activities, trips, the publishing of the Alumni Quarterly, and fund-raising. Over a SO percent increase was reported bv the Office of Development in Century Club, President ' s Partners, and President ' s Trust contributors for the 1977-78 year. Mem- bership in each group of the Foundation requires contribu- tions of $100-$499, $500-$999, and $1,000 per year for ten years and up, respectively. William H.

Maltsberger Field Secretary, Alumni Affairs Administratlon 113 University Relations Few areas of university life were affected as much by changes of the new DeRosier administration as the Division of University Relations, formerly known as the Office of Public Relations. Increasing in size almost 100 percent from 1976-77 to 1977-78, University Relations was restructured completely, with a new director, Fred Middleton, assuming direction of the office July 1, 1977, as a result of a committee ' s selections and DeRosier ' s personal decision. Middleton emphasizes the purpose of University Rela- tions as an extension of the university into the commu- nity, with a qualified, dedicated staff working to promote ETSU on the local, regional, and national levels. We are a service organization for the university and community, says Middleton. As director of University Relations, Middleton is involved in numerous activities, varying from the President ' s Council to news release production. He states a definite desire to stay in close contact with the local and regional media and continuously offer suggestions of how media can better keep abreast of university activities. Dale Crail was hired by Middleton in the late summer of 1977 as assistant director, with both men being involved in day-to-day workings of the department. Crail has also as- sumed coordination of production of sports information brochures, in addition to brochures for university depart- ments and special activities. Perhaps the busiest member of the office is Kristn Fry, a former reporter for the Johnson City Press-Chronicle who now functions as news bureau editor. Feature articles, pub- licity releases and photos concerning university events and programs, announcements, and home-town information about faculty and students are written by Fry, with coordi- nation of media during campus events and close contact with area media personnel also being important in her over- all job. Sports Information Director (SID) John Cathey has be- come an outcast of sorts from the University Relations of- fice, although his new offices on the first level of Memorial iY Center are hoped to improve communication and coordi- nation of information between coaches and him. Cathey ' s job as SID involves continuous contact with coaches and players in an effort to maintain good publicity and media coverage of all ETSU sports. Men ' s and women ' s sports are equally covered by the office, with an average of two releases a day being sent to area media. Planning and execution of press days for various sports, and control and information-supplying of the media during actual athletic contests are vital functions of the sports in- formation staff. Cathey also travels with the teams as much as possible, keeping local media abreast of athletic events when they are unable to send representatives. Art work and designs for university publications are done by Majid Ejlali, university artist. In addition to working with Crail and the University Press on publications, Ejlali also does special work for the academic community involving slide presentations and pictures for special events. University Photographer Bob Cohn is pulled in many di- rections, being responsible for taking and printing pictures for news releases, publications, and features. Ray Stahl, former director of public relations, worked dur- ing the year as special projects coordinator. Besides han- dling United Fund activities in the fall of the year, he also worked toward production of publications about ETSU ' s impact on the community and university history. ETSU c ampus radio station WETS-FM, headed by Dick Ellis, also came under the jurisdiction of University Rela- tions, although not being used as a main tool for promo- tion. WETS-FM, as a national public radio station charged with the responsibility of providing alternative programming for the community, is not a public relations organ for the university but can help by providing a wide-ranging outlet for campus information. University Relations has the aim of creating a new com- munity spirit toward ETSU, according to Middleton. He cited the large increase in monetary gifts and better media coverage during 1977-78 as good examples of the beginning attitude change. Fred W. Middleton Director, University Relations G.

Middleton, University Relations Director Budget and Plannin 2k Although it may not be the most chaotic office, it cer- tainly gets the honors for longest office title. The office is that of internal research, systems, and plan- ning and is directed by Dr. Jerry H. Rust, )r. Diverse respon- sibilities and activities emanate from the offices in the former vice-president for academic affairs ' complex. Dr. Rust, who received his B.S. and M.A. degrees in 1950 from George Peabody College for Teachers and his Ed. D. in 1%7, also from Peabody, has been with ETSU since 1972. A C.P.A. in Tennessee and Georgia, he came to Johnson City after eight years with the Tennessee Higher Education Commission and the Division of Higher Education in the Tennessee State Department of Education, where he worked closely with state education development. His job as director of internal research, systems, and plan- ning involved responsibility for development of an in- tegrated information system, computer center activities, and physical facilities planning and capital budgeting on a university-wide basis. Assistant Director Gerald Gehre joined Rust ' s office this year as coordinator of the physical facilities planning, or space utilization, and capital budgeting. His work involves the preparation, analysis, and reporting of facilities ' data, in- cluding utilization and specific projects for needed facilities. Internal research involving institutional data and prepara- tion of reports for long-range planning is an important job of the office also, as is academic study research. Ginger Hawk worked in the office during 1977-78 as a data analyst in connection with this. Also coming through Rust ' s office are affirmative action complaints, a necessary concern for receipt of Title IX fed- eral funding. Pat Robinson has worked with the office as coordinator of this phase during the year. Dr. jerry Rust, jr Director, Internal Research, Systems, and Planning Dr. Jerry L. Gehre Assistant Director Pat Robinson Coordinator, Affirmative Action Ginger Hawk Data Analyst Stan Johnson Director, Computer Ser ices g lnternal Research One of the smaller, yet more important, branches of the main administrative structure of ETSU is the Office of Bud- get and Planning under the direction of William B. Miller. Working toward the complex task of developing a livable budget for the university each year, Miller must also direct appropriations and adjust for emergencies and budget im- balances. His annual task of developing a budget, and mak- ing appropriational requests to the State Board of Regents, Tennessee Higher Education Commission, and the state leg- islature, often reminds him of a seasonal Army game. It seems all we do is hurry up and wait, he jokes. Miller, who has a B.S. degree from Tennessee Tech, and a M.B.A. degree from ETSU, sees greater responsibility for his office in future years as medical school monies begin to in- crease university budget appropriations. The 1977-78 budget of $23.7 million in addition to $5.5 million for medical school development already shows a large comparative figure for the one school, and Miller be- lieves a separate budgetary officer may be required to handle the school ' s financial affairs. State appropriations of $13,340,000 for 1977-78 were sup- plemented by students ' fees, auxiliary enterprise funding, university program receipts, athletic department receipts, and research contracts and grants. An addition to Miller ' s office during the year was seen in the hiring of a ticket manager, Roger Newton, for the ath- letic department, a situation which is hoped to improve ticket sales through greater promotion and sales centralization. Also assisting Miller is Randall Younce, a budget analyst who joined the staff this year. William B. Miller Director, Budget and Planning D.

Admlnlstration 1 1 5 Internal Auditor University Engineer 1-)ohn C. Roberts, University Engineer. a Marion Lane, a 1970 graduate of ETSU, assumed a newly- created position in the summer of 1977 as internal auditor of the DeRosier administration. Lane, who has a B.S. degree in accounting and is a certi- fied public accountant, came to work at ETSU in 1975 as in- ternal auditor for the budgeting office. His work with nu- merous beauty pageants and other university functions has made him widely known in the local area. A member of the Tennessee Society of Certified Public Accountants, Lane ' s current job involves his monitoring of university departments to determine if university and state board policies are being followed, as well as determining the reliability and adequacy of accounting and reporting systems. Steven R. Campbell works as his assistant in their prepa- ration of work dealing with financial aid, student payroll, and the dental clinic. Despite not being a member of the President ' s Council, Lane works directly with DeRosier. The work we do here goes straight to the president, he said when interviewed, and there are no limitations to what we are involved in. John C. Roberts initiated a new concept in university planning with his assumption of the position of university engineer in the summer of 1977. Roberts, who was director of the physical plant from 1972-77, assumed control of construction, renovation, and energy conservation on the ETSU campus, giving the uni- versity a central coordinator of physical development for the first time. A member of the President ' s Council, he also did advisory work for and with the president during the year. Previous work for Roberts has included experience with the department of correction in Nashville from 1961-68, and with the state architect ' s office from 1968-72. His purpose at ETSU is To work into having some continuity, save money, and be faster. As a member of the President ' s Council, he advises uni- versity leaders on future plans or feasibility of development of university structures. 2— Marion R. Lane, Internal Auditor. 1 16 Administration Administrative Assistant Executive Assistant As is often the case in administration, certain people be- hind the scenes perform numerous tasks necessary for pub- lic functioning of the chief executive. Dr. DeRosier ' s right- and left-hand people during the year were Dan Russo and Janice Randolph, executive assis- tant and administrative assistant to the president, respectively. Russo, who earned his B.S. degree in 1%1 from Rutgers University, came to ETSU in 1%7 as an economics profes- sor. He worked as assistant director of research and infor- mation systems for some years before assuming his sec- ond-in-command post in the DeRosier administration last year. Seeing his job as to review recommendations that come to the president ' s office for the solutions of university or in- stitutional problems, Russo has acted as the go-between for many presidential projects of the year, finalizing details and coordinating people and supplies for smooth carrying- out of activities. As a member of the President ' s Council, he has been di- rectly involved in the total operation of the university. He has also acted as a sounding board for students who have 4-Daniel M. Russo, Executive Assistant to the President. f 4 3A problems involving the administration, usually taking them beyond his office to DeRosier for his consideration or action. Janice Randolph could perhaps be called the beauty of the president ' s top duo. Formerly Dr. D.P. Gulp ' s personal secretary, Randolph has assumed more responsibility under the DeRosier administration, now having a stenographer and secretary to assist her in what used to be a largely one- secretary job. Calendar appointments and general schedule arrange- ments are a big part of Randolph ' s work in the DeRosier ad- ministration, in addition to whatever else he (DeRosier) wants me to do. She assists with work of the President ' s Council, although not being a member, and often has to hold down the fort while DeRosier and Russo are out of town on business. When asked how she liked her new position, Randolph quickly stated, This job is quite challenging, and I really en- joy it. It takes a lot of working together to get things done, but we maintain a good relationship with each other. It ' s fun! She and her husband live in jonesboro. 3-)anlce P. Randolph, Administrative Assistant to the President. Administration 1 1 7 Academics College of Arts Sciences CAROL TAYLOR The College of Arts and Sciences has come a long way since it was first organized at ETSU in 1956. The college, which was called the School of Arts and Sciences at its inception, encompassed only 10 departments originally. College status was achieved in 1963. In 1977-78, the college contained 17 different depart- ments including art, biology, chemistry, English, geography, geology, history, journalism, languages, mathematics, mu- sic, physics, political science, social services, sociology, speech, and a new addition during the year, computer science. A total of 21 majors were offered during the year, in- volving one major for each department except languages, in which there were three. Special inter-disciplinary majors were also offered in humanities and American Studies. Full-time faculty members employed by the college num- bered 190 for the year. 1— Dr. George N.

Dove completed his 31st year of service to the university as dean of the college. He came to ETSU in 1947 and has served the school longer than any other ad- ministrator or faculty member. He plans to retire in 1979. Dove received his B.A. and M.A. degrees from Case Western Reserve University in 1935 and 1936, respectively, and earned his Ed.D. from the University of Tennessee in 1952. Departments of the College of Arts and Sciences were spread across the Johnson City campus with classes being located in Brown (science), Burleson (English), Mathis (mu- sic). Ball (art), Gilbreath (speech), Hutcheson (home eco- nomics), Roger-Stout (social science), and Carson (math- ematics) Halls. Classes were also sponsored through the college on cam- puses in Kingsport, Bristol, Greeneville, Elizabethton, Mor- ristown, and Knoxville. Over 23,000 students were enrolled in Arts and Sciences courses during the fall quarter of the year, with over 2,400 students majoring in various departments of the college. Tutorial programs in several departments were continued for students needing additional help with classes. The English Writing Lab was one such program, providing help by faculty members for students needing help with writing. 4-Several classes are interesting enough to just sit and listen, forgetting about taking notes, as is the case with this coed. 5-Most college classes are conducted informally, and lames Reese ' s English class is no exception. Arts Sciences 123 Art Sciences (cont ' d) The history department also sponsored tutoring for students, as did mathematics. Students majoring in different departments of the col- lege received a variety of study-related training during the year through the auspices of the ETSU Cboperative Education Program. A total of 14 departments were involved in work-study situations, including art, chemistry, English, geography, geology, journalism, mathematics, computer science, music, physics, political science, social services, sociol- ogy, and speech, more departments than any other col- lege on campus. Cooperative education ventures involved working in area newspaper, radio, or television offices for journalism and broadcast majors; in state and local governmental offices for social sciences majors; and with local and state-wide police and sheriff forces for criminal justice majors.

The sta- tion based its program for the year toward the listening pleasure of people between the ages of 18 and 24, broadcasting from 6 a.m. until 9 p.m. and 12 until 3 a.m. each day. WETS-AM used modular programing of campus information dur- ing the year, having many two-minute programs to present student views on campus issues and issues of student concern. One 30-minute newscast was continued for the year at 5:30 each evening, with national, state, local, campus, and sports news presented. Special broadcasts during the year involved presentation of the Homecoming Disco, live boardcast from the Miss Buccaneer pageant, and play-by-play action of Buccaneer football and basketball game. 1-ln the news room of WETS-AM, speech-broadcasting Elaine Goller, Johnnie Norris, and Debbie Kerns discuss one of the news events to be aired. 2— A coed goes through the process of testing for chemicals by a flame. 3-Speech and broadcasting majors enjoy the actual experience of being a disc jokey. 126 Arts Sciences 4— Playing a french horn at a home basketball game, Donna Stephens looks over to a sheet of music. 6-Debbie Ramsey con- centrates on writing in a journalism class. 5-Another area of broad- casting concerns itself with television prociuction as seen in the WS)K-TV, channel 2 studio. Arts Sciences 127 College of Education CAROL TAYLOR Education has been a specialty with East Tennessee State from its inception and continuing through the 1977-78 school year. ETSU has been greatly involved with teaching and train- ing teachers from its beginnings as a two-year normal school just for such a purpose to a change in 1924 to East Tennessee State Teachers ' College with a four-year curricu- lum, to a change in 1930 to State Teacher ' s College, to a multi-purpose institution with much emphasis on education in 1943 when it became East Tennessee State College, and finally a change to university status in 1963. Composed of 11 departments and divisions, the College of Education today provides programs for all students plan- ning to go into teaching careers as well as for those pur- suing non-teaching majors. The departmental sections which composed the college during 1977-78 included education, general science and science education, home economics, industrial education, military science, philosophy, physical education, psychol- ogy, and reading. Also under the college ' s administration were the division of library services and the University School. The College of Education at ETSU received national ac- creditation in 1961 by the National Council for Accredita- tion of Teacher Education (NCATE) and is approved by the Tennessee State Board of Education for preparation of teachers. The department of industrial education also was recently accredited by the National Association of Industrial Technology. College Dean L. Scott Honaker completed his 24th year at East Tennessee during 1977-78 and his 19th year at the helm of the college. Honaker first came to Johnson City in 1954 to set up a graduate program in health and physical education after re- ceiving his bachelor ' s degree in 1941 from Maryville Col- lege, his M.A. in 1947 from the University of Northern Colo- rado, and an Ed.D. from the University of Tennessee in 1953. He began to serve as director of the School of Educa- tion in 1959 and assumed the position of dean when the school became a college. ETSU awards a B.S. degree to those completing under- graduate programs in education, as well as the M.A., and Ed.D. degrees on the graduate level of study. Major areas of study on the undergraduate level during 1977-78 include elementary education, general science, home economics (with choices of emphasis on vocational home economic education or the American Dietetic Asso- ciation Internship program), industrial arts education, indus- trial technology, philosophy, and general psychology. Graduate areas of study provided by the college included elementary education, secondary teaching, instructional communication, administration, supervision, science educa- tion, industrial arts education, industrial technology, library 128 Education service, general psychology, and reading for elementary, secondary, or K-12 teachers. Undergraduate minors were also provided by the college in library service and military science. A graduate minor was offered in philosophy, in addition to an associate degree program which became effective in the fall of 1977 through the industrial education department and provided options in drafting and design technology, building and construc- tion technology, and surveying technology. Changes have been the rule rather than the exception for the College of Education since Honaker became dean. Some of the changes have seen the expansion of the gradu- ate program at the master ' s level, introduction of a major in instructional communication at the master ' s level and edu- cation specialist and doctor of education degrees, the addi- tion of two major programs emphasizing educational su- pervision and educational administration, and the development of divisions of instructional communication and early childhood education. Recently the department of education redesigned the ele- mentary education major to keep up with recent trends in elementary school teaching. Adult education and commu- nity education have also been studied and developed over the years. Other recent developments within the college have in- volved the expansion of general science and science educa- tion to include earth and space science, the addition of a graduate program in guidance and counseling, the broad- ening of the graduate level reading program to provide more comprehensive preparation of elementary and secon- dary teachers and supervisors of reading, the movement of the library service program from Sherrod Library to Warf- Pickel Hall, and the movement of the library ' s collection of 1 ? 1-Dean L.

New ideas and programs continued to be proposed dur- ing the year with work and study being done toward their development, including a modification of the home eco- nomics major to allow students to concentrate in five op- tions (home economics in business, general home econom- ics, child development and the family, food systems management dietetics, or vocational home economics education). Also under consideration during the year were creation of a major emphasis in religious studies through the depart- ment of philosophy and undergraduate recreation major through physical education. i-ROTC cadets examine parts of an automatic rifle-an AR-15. 4-Sgl.

Offering two-year and four-year programs, military science provided opportunities for students to be commissioned in the Army, Army National Guard, or Army Reserve upon graduation, giving students what the department called a head start on life after college. Lt. Col. William D. Wolfe continued as director of the East Tennessee ROTC unit and military science program during the year, continuing to promote strong curriculum and extracurric ular activities. Four-year program training begins during the fresh- man year, although freshman and sophomores can take military science I and II courses without military obligation. Students completing requirements for a commission during junior and seniors years receive fi- nancial assistance and leadership and management training. Two-year program participants who have not taken military science I and II begin with attendance at basic camp at Fort Knox, Ky., during the summer between the sophomore and junior years, with the last two years on campus the same as in the four-year pro- gram. Merit scholarships are available to students on one-, two-, three-, and four-year bases. Special activities of the department for the year continued in the Buccaneer Guard, a precision drill team with male and female units. The group main- tained their tradition as premier drill teams nationally with good performances in national and Ohio Valley Conference competition. The largest organization sponsored by the depart- ment, the Captain A.K. Broyles Company, Association of the United States Army (AUSA), received its fourth consecutive honor from the national organization as most active company of the year during 1977. Named in honor of Capt. A.K. Broyles, the first ROTC graduate from ETSU killed in the Republic of Vietnam, the company maintained a membership of over 50 students. The Outstanding Company of the Year award was given the ETSU Scabbard and Blade Society, the third award for the organization which is for advanced course military science students. Yearly activities in- cluded numerous campus and community service projects such as teaching rappelling to local Boy Scout troops and the university school, participating in a 1 20-mile Easter Seals ' walk-a-thon, and planning and presenting the annual Militar Ball. 5-lnslructors discuss firearm in a weaponry class. 6— Members of AUSA and Scabbard and Blade prepare to start a 120-mile walk-a-lhon for Easier Seals.

Kingsfxjrt L ' nKersrtN Center, ETSL ' s largest off-campus facilit , had an enrollment of some 1,400 students during the fall quarter of 1977 and employed two librarians, five secretaries, 13 facult members, and seven maintenance workers. Center Director James Davis and Assistant Director Gary Walters were responsible for classes which met twice per week and ga e students the equivalent of the first two years of the university ' s academic programs. in addition to the U o- ear program, evening classes of- fered provided lower division through graduate level credit. Other continuing education facilities located in Bristol and Greeneville averaged enrollments of 300 and 250 stu- dents, respectivelv. The Bristol Center, under the direction of Assistant Dean Ravmond Massengill. Jr., is located at Bristol Tennessee High School, while the Greeneville Cen- ter, under the direction of Director .

The pro- gram provides a balanced education bv means of com- bining theoretical class-room leaming with practical work assignments on an alternating basis. Students involved in co-op altemate beUveen full-time attendance at the universitv and full-time employment in area business firms. Typically, each work assignment is manned by two students who rotate school and work so as to cover the job year-round. Since each job is carefully planned to relate to the student ' s academic major, valuable experience is gained, as well as a valid means of testing the student ' s career goals. Three hours of academic credit are awarded for each quarter of co-op work. Undergraduate students are allowed to eam up to eighteen credit hours, and graduate students up to six credit hours through work experience. Cooperative education also benefits the employer bv providing a source of qualified, highly -motivated man- pow er, to train in his ow n way and often to retain as a per- manent employee after graduation. The program benefits the student by fumishing experience in a chosen career field and by providing financial assistance to men and women who might not otherwise have a chance to attend college. The program benefits the community by integrating the educational process with the world of work. Participating employers working with co-op students promote a close tie between East Tennessee State Universitv and the business community. Director of Cooperative Education, Jim Osbome, stated that during the 1977-78 school vear approximately 200 work placements were made in 50 work stations. Dr. Glenn Bet- tis, Dr. Charles Angus, and Dr. Ben Lvle aided the program as faculty coordinators from the College of Education, Busi- ness, and Arts and Sciences, respectively. Three new college coordinators were added to the staff in 1977— David Omduff, Patti Hagertv, and Anne Comfort- in an effort to prov ide more time w ith students in the field. The co-op program counted many business firms among its participants for the year, including Parks-Belk Bristol; Mason-Dixon Trucking Lines; Summers Hardware; Parks- Belk kingsport; |.C.

As a part of the unKersiU ' s School of Continuing Educa- tion, the Non-Degree Programs office provides quality edu- cational experiences for the Upper East Tennessee and Southwest Virginia communrtv. These experiences in 1977- 78 ranged from highly technical seminars and conferefKes to short courses on several leisure actKities, in addition to developing in-house training F rograms for several area in- dustrial firms. Participants in Son-Degree Programs are usualK high school or college graduates, although this is not a pre- requisite.

Although anyone who received a bachelor ' s degree from the College of Business is eligible for enrollment at any graduate school of his or her choosing, the college contin- ued to strive to put the icing on the cake for their gradu- ates with renewed efforts during 1977-78 to receive accredi- tation by the American Association of Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). The history of the college began in 1955 when it was rec- ognized as a separate School of Business Administration and Economics. In 1965, results of growth and adminis- trative changes led to the designation of the school as a college. Currently the college ranks among similar schools across the nation with highest-increasing enroll- ment of major-study students. Dr. James H. McLean completed his second year at the helm of the college during the year after coming to East Tennessee in 1976. McLean, who is a C.P.A. for the State of Georgia, received his Ph.D. in 1967 at Ohio State University after receiving his ).D. degree in 1958 from Emory University in 1941. The primary element needed to meet national ac- creditation requirements is employment of additional highly-qualified faculty members and support staff. Approx- imately 40 professional staff comprised the faculty of the four branches college during the year. The undergraduate program consisted of four main areas— accounting, business administration, business educa- tion and office administration, and economics. Major pro- grams of study available on the undergraduate level in- 134 Business 3-Mike McMeans ponders a question during a business law class. 4— Concentration is impor- tant in business courses as shown by this coed ' s determined look. eluded business education, distributive education, and office administration for business education students, while majors were available in finance, marketing management, management, real estate, and transportation management for business administration students. Minor programs of study were numerous also for the de- partments including minors in finance, general business, in- dustrial relations, management, marketing, real estate, and transportation in business administration, while business education and office administration were available in busi- ness education, and economics in economics. Other special programs continued for undergraduates in- cluded minor programs of study for journalism and envi- ronmental health majors, and one-year secretarial, two-year administrative secretarial, two-year legal secretarial, and two-year medical secretarial programs for students not in- terested in the four-year major. The accounting department of the college established a program of high school visitation, with professors visiting area high schools and informing students about the field of accounting and jobs that may be of interest to graduating seniors. Buslness 135 College of Business (cont ' d) The department also formed the ETSU Accounting Club during the year, an organization for accounting majors and minors. Other happenings in the department included pub- lishing of the First Annual Newsletter for all alumni of the College of Business with information concerning depart- mental activities, and career opportunities and development. The first CPA courses at ETSU were held last year, as preparation for the CPA exam. The nine-week course open to anyone wanting to take the CPA exam was held at night and on week-ends, and was taught by faculty members. The department of accounting has also submitted a pro- posal to allow for a master of accounting degree (M.Ac), a program never before been offered at ETSU. A strong graduate program continued to be administered through the college during the year also, with a master of arts degree being available for economics or business edu- cation, and a master of business administration being of- fered. Graduate minors for both degrees were also offered. The College of Business also continued its offering of courses designed for non-business students. Business in Society, a freshman-level course, was offered as a means of providing students with a brief overview of the structure and workings of business through the department of busi- ness administration, while Personal Finance, a junior-level course designed exclusively for non-business students, was offered again to provide knowledge and helpful hints for everyday money and business situations. Maintained by the college is an extensive inventory of typewriters, business machines, advanced calculators, IBM Keypunch machines, card verifiers, and card sorters, in ad- dition to usage of IBM 370 135 and 1130 computers. All are used in related courses. Great physical changes are expected soon for the college in the renovation of its current facilities in Sam Wilson Hall in the heart of the Johnson City campus.

This definition continued as the guiding structure of the East Tennessee State College of Health during 1977-78, as the college aimed toward preparing students for careers and educating them toward enjoyment of healthful, satis- fying lives as it sought to fill today ' s need of adequately- trained personnel in health fields. The seven departments in the College of Health included associate degree nursing, baccalaureate degree nursing, dental hygiene, environmental health, health sciences, spe- cial education, and health education. The Office of Pre-Pro- fessional Advisement, which was begun in 1975, was also available for students interested in related health professions. The College of Health at ETSU has come along way from its beginning as the Department of Health Education in 1950. The current dean of the College, John P. Lamb, Jr., was there when the department was first envisioned in 1949 and has helped the college expand and grow in the 28 ensuing years. Lamb, who received his B.S. degree in 1937 from East Tennessee State, his C.P.H. from Vanderbilt University in 1938, and his M.P.H. in 1949 from Yale University, contin- ued to lead the college toward development of a com- prehensive health program for the university, a program giv- ing students opportunities for expansive and intensive study in numerous areas of health. Housed in one of the largest classroom buildings on the , - H IS ETE .PHYSI£.AL, bciAL will- B V ERELY .- SEASE OR IN Johnson City campus, the multi-million dollar structure combines all departments of the college, in addition to the university Health Services Clinic. To be fully appreciated, a grand tour of the building must be made with Lamb as the guide. Offices for over 80 pro- fessional staff and various types of specialized rooms-den- tal clinical operatories, sound-proof, sound-treated rooms- and modern equipment— including electron microscopes- comprise the building ' s interior. The physical setting pro- vides stimulating, informative, and interesting educational opportunities for students in the more than 300 course of- ferings, according to Lamb. Several hospitals, health departments, and community agencies in the Quad-Cities ' area are also utilized by the college for clinical laboratory teaching. Professional degrees offered during the year by the col- lege included associate of science in nursing, associate of science in dental hygiene, bachelor of science in medical technology, bachelor of science in nursing, and master of science in environmental health. The departments of health education, health sciences, and special education also continued their offerings of ma- jor and minor programs at baccalaureate and master levels. Changes for the college in the near future will probably involve new programs emphasizing preventive health care. In realizing that good health education programs are needed to keep people well, the college hopes to even- tually offer several new programs, according to Lamb, cov- ering such areas as preventive health education and health maintenance, health administration, and epidemiology. A major forward step for the college in 1977-78 was the accreditation of a graduate program for the department of environmental health. Awarded by the Accreditation Coun- cil for Environmental Health Curricula of the National Envi- ronmental Health Association, it represented the first pro- fessional accreditation of an environmental health graduate program in the U.S. The attaining of the master ' s program also gave new hope for a doctoral program, a goal which would be an- other first for the nationally-recognized departmental program. MM HMHib 1 A 138 Health lAi Th Pa U Np Pu Am Cm Bk Cf Es Fm Md No CYNUI WAUSWCJklH The Student Health Services Clinic aims at treating all acute illnesses and injuries of ETSU students, and managed to treat 18,556 of the populace between )uly 1976 and July 1977. The month of October 1977 saw 2,086 students treated for various ailments, an average of 99 students per day. The clinic was open to all full-time students throughout 1977-78. Located on the first floor of the John P. Lamb, or College of Health, building, the clinic was staffed by two registered nurses Monday through Friday each week from 7:15 a.m. until 5 p.m. A doctor was also available two hours each day. To many students, it appears these doctors try to set records as to the number of students seen in allotted time periods. Complaints are periodically heard from students each year, with 1977-78 being no exception, of assembly- line procedures at the clinic. The campus newspaper, East Tennessean, usually serves as medium for the complaints. Each year also, some students try to beat the system by diagnosing themselves and requesting needed medication from the clinic rather than using the doctoral services. The clinic does provide special services such as throat cultures, urinalysis, pre-marital blood work, and venereal disease checks. Wednesday is set aside as wart day, with liquid nitrogen being used to treat the warts. Future plans for the clinic may include staffing by ETSU ' s own medical school interns, with the possibility of treat- ment services for faculty also being added. Full-time clinical doctoral services were not encouraged during the year due to ever-rising costs of malpractice insurance. « 1-Dean lohn P.

Health 139 College of Health (cont ' d) SHANNON COLLEY Don ' t assume that a white uniform indicates a person pursuing a career in nursing. The ever-familiar blue lab coat should at least give you a hint. We are not nurses is per- haps the most common phrase expressed by dental hygiene students. You can hear it in the Rathskeller or the band- room-just about anywhere prospective patients may be found. A lot is required to wear one of those white uniforms. It is difficult to become, and to be, a dental hygiene student as applicants must make satisfactory scores on the Dental Hy- giene Aptitude Test, have a background of biology and chemistry from high school, be admitted to ETSU, have a personal interview with a faculty member of the dental hy- giene department, and apply to the department itself- which means five reference letters, medical and dental forms to complete, and three questions to the tune of Why I want to be a dental hygienist to be answered-all of this by the May 1 deadline for the one class beginning each fall. After being chosen to occupy one of the 48 positions, for which several hundred have competed, the first feelings of elation dwindle during the first class meeting. No one told us to already have the first chapter on embryology read .... It is quickly discovered that becoming a health profes- sional involves more than acquiring knowledge and devel- oping clinical skills. It is also necessary to look and act the part. Perfume, jewelry, fingernails, and floral underwear all became things of the past-as does money. It takes much money to start out, not just because dental hygiene books are expensive, but because two complete sets of in- struments, two prophy angels, three uniforms, two lab coats, a radiology kit, and other essential equipment such as white shoe polish, white bobby pins, and white knee socks have to be purchased. Being a health professional also develops a sense of re- sponsibility and helping. As Kathy Blair says, You just want to help everybody. I saw a man at a local store who had a large swelling in the cervical lymph node region, and my mind instantly flashed back to all the slides of tumors we had seen in pathology. I wanted so badly to say something to him, and to know for myself that he was receiving medi- cal attention. It ' s hard to not feel responsible for the oral health of the patients seen in clinic. You can only show people how to improve their oral health and hope to motivate them to- ward improvement. As Ms. Phyllis Cairnes states in the first of several pre-clinic lectures, You can ' t be standing in your patient ' s bathroom evaluating his method of toothbrushing, waiting to say: Aha, you missed the Unguals of your man- dibular anteriors again. Working and struggling together for seven consecutive quarters creates an extremely close group of people among dental hygiene students. We depend on each other. During pre-clinical experience, you develop instrumentation skills through work on other students in your class. We learn to be effective, but gentle, hygienists. You don ' t want to hurt your best friend. If nothing else, she gets a shot at you later. The placement of rubber dams, study-model impres- sions, and anesthetic injections develop very apprehensive, but trusting, individuals. Every student in the department is a member of the Ju- nior American Dental Hygienists Association (jADHA) which is a branch of the American Dental Hygienists Asso- ciation. Through this organization the dental hygiene stu- dent can begin activities and see opportunities that will af- fect careers. Sheree Phillips, Sara Smith, and Michelle Walls were able to attend the national meeting held in Miami in the fall of 1977. jADHA awards a scholarship of $200 to a first-year girl to help with the expense of getting started in dental hygiene. JADHA also throws several parties-inevita- bility centered around those horrid refined sugars. A more recent problem to be voted upon by JADHA members is whether or not to print up a departmental T- shirt. Whether the shirts are to say Do It With A Dental Hy- gienist Twice Year or Smile— You ' ve Attracted A Dental Hygienist has yet to be decided.

You may wonder, though, just what student nurses do since they are rarely seen on campus. Four-year nursing students are those hardy souls who leave warm, cozy beds and living quarters at 5 or 6 a.m. each weekday for clinical work beginning at 6:30 a.m. at Quad-Cities ' area hospitals. Sometimes student nurses do not return to campus until late in the afternoon, at whic h time they usually retreat to their living quarters and bury themselves in nursing texts to try to arrange patient-care plans for the next day. The tedious work and long hours required for patient- care plans are only portions of the depth of training given East Tennessee State baccalaureate degree nursing students. Training also covers treatment of diseases, promotion of health, early disease detection, and use of ever-increasingly sophisticated equipment, such as fetal heart monitors and coronary care monitors. When the four-year nursing students enter upper division study at the beginning of the junior year, they begin a new lifestyle which continues for eight straight quarters. Study and clinical experience are intense as all health field areas must be dealt with and examined in incredibly short amounts of time. This lifestyle leaves little time for fun or in- terests other than nursing, a situation hard to imagine for the average university student. Each group of nursing students that starts out together in fundamental courses usually finishes as a close-knit family group by graduation time. They give each other support when it is needed, they learn from each other, and they laugh at each other. Each class thins out as the quarters pass as some drop out, and some don ' t meet the required high grade stan- dards. Students who make it through the tension, anxiety, and tests have worked hard, though, and will rarely say they have breezed through the curriculum. The B.S. nursing graduates in March and August 1978 are a special group. As each of the graduates was changing and molding themselves through their ( posure and work in the program, the program itself was changing. The changes came as the result of questioning by national nursing accreditation officials of ETSU ' s qualifications and overall program. The apparent threat to the school resulted in noticeable raising of standards at the start of the 1978 graduating classes ' clinical experience, a conscious tight- ening that was seen in much harder tests and greater ex- pectations from student nurses. There seemed a true fight for survival at times as students became a garden and the faculty a gardener, a situation which resulted in the less perfect flowers being slowly weeded out. The nursing school was also in the process of choosing a chairman during the crucial learning ears of the 1978 classes. Many changes were advocated and desired over the months, and the students were seemingly caught in a vise as trial and error became the rule rather than the exception. When errors were made, though, the students were al- ways the first to speak out. The faculty was there to listen, too. It was definitely a rough road for the nurses, but most pushed themselves on despite discouragement and strin- gent standards with the hope their individual and joint ef- forts would make the way smoother for nursing classes to follow. Much good was found in the four years, however, with two beneficial changes experienced by the 1978 classes in- volving clothes and men. The first, the choosing of a new uniform, boosted morale and met changing demands of nurses as the outdated old uniforms were put to rest in favor of pants suits and more stylish dresses. The increasing number of male nursing students was also important for technical reasons— their extra strength in lift- ing patients, for example— as well as providing new view- points and avenues of expressions for patients and nursing students. Male patients responded well to male nurses due to an inherent easiness in asking some personal health questions, while female nurses saw class discussions en- hanced by differing opinions and views, a blending of ideas which was often beneficial for both sexes. There are always funny memories which accumulate along the path to becoming a graduate nurse, and these are shared among classmates. Stories such as: hanging an enema bag filled with water and not clamping the end; los- ing a nursing cap in a patient ' s bed; or helping a patient into the shower and ending up with two showers. Of course, there are always the numerous emotional memories, those experiences in dealing with dving and death, or maybe the smile of thanks from a sick child. Although one may have a tendency to relate a nurse to a syringe or a mouthful of horrible tasting medicine, the 1978 nursing classes of East Tennessee State University hope you will think again about what they truly represent. Most im- portant, though, they ask that you remember what thev go through and what they must learn to get where they are.

Undergraduates in speech and hearing are prepared as speech and hearing clinicians for public schools. The graduate program promotes advance studies in spe- cial education, speech pathology, and audiology. It pre- pares its graduates to take advance jobs in these areas and also to allow the student to reach their doctoratal level. The special education department served approximately 185 special education undergraduate students and 221 spe- cial education graduate students during the 1977-78 year. There were 85 students in the undergraduate program in speech and hearing studies. The graduate programs served 33 speech pathology students and 16 students in the audiol- ogy program. The department offers a bachelor of science degree in special education and speech and hearing. A mas- ter ' s degree is offered in special ed, speech patholog , and audiology. Three full-time instructors are employed by the depart- ment, in addition to two full-time audiology instructors and a departmental chairman, along with part-time instructors. This department also consists of the Pre-School Deaf Pro- gram located in the Cooper Annex. Special education works with an annual budget of ap- proximately $180,000, not including maintenance costs of the department or the Pre-School Deaf Program located in Cooper Annex. Within the department are 10 speech ther- apy rooms with one-way mirrors that provided excellent opportunity to observe clinicians at work. The department also has two completely sound-treated rooms for audiolog evaluations, each estimated to cost at least $30,000. Services provided by special education audiological eval- uations, hearing aid evaluations, aural rehabilitations, speech pathology training, and diagnosis for people who have communication disorders, voice disorders, rhvthmic disorders, and aphasia, with some 150 to 200 people served each year. Small fees for these services are charged or pro- vided free if patients cannot pay.

Health 145 College of Medicine JOHN HOWZE The East Tennessee State University College of Medicin ' ?, which received its letter of reasonable assurance for accred- itation in July 1977, emerged in the 1977-78 school year as the hub of tremendous growth for the university and area. The first 20 or so students who pass a special selection ommittee and are chosen as the first class at ETSU for next fali, will be participating in a dream come true. Fifteen years ago was when the idea of a medical school for the East Tennessee area first surfaced. The then-casual remarks of two men, Dr. Charles Allen (area physician) and John Lamb (dean of the ETSU College of Health), began a local dialogue among medical and health professionals which resulted years later in the push for a medical school. In 1%5, a committee was appointed by the Washington and Unicoi Country medical societies to study the feasibility of medical education in the area. The group was to expand twice before realizing success, bringing itself to include people from the Veterans ' Administration, the Johnson City Chamber of Commerce, and other interested parties. The group presently calls itself the Appalachian Regional Center for Health Advancement. This group was instrumental in defining the need for a lo- cal medical institute although, in 1970, political events took an unfavorable turn for med school hopefuls. Winfield Dunn, a Republican from Memphis and himself a dentist, won the state governorship that year and, although he had pledged his support to the East Tennessee med school ef- fort during the campaign, withdrew his pledge during the years of his administration under pressure from the two existing medical schools in the state, located in Knoxville and Memphis. Efforts in support of the school continued by local residents but were dampened on a state-wide basic by the lack of funding from state sources. A major milestone was passed in the summer months of 1971 with the passage of the Teague-Cranston Act by the U.S. Congress. Representative Olin Teague and Senator Ralph Cranston co-sponsored the bill, with the support of several East Tennessee lawmakers, including First District Rep. Jimmy Quillen, which provided federal funding to create eight medical schools across the country in medi- cally-depressed areas. The bill ' s qualifications stipulated that cities have both a state university and a Veterans Administration hospital in order to be eligible for a school. Johnson City was one of a very few cities meeting those requirements, and the only Tennessee city to do so. 1— Dr. Jack Mobley, dean of the College of Medicine. 2— Change and movement were common in the medical school during the year, as shown in the office above. 146 Medicine I 3— Experiments are carried out in the school ' s department of biochemistry. 4— Dr. lay Mehta of the department of internal medicine examines xrays of a monkey. In 1974, the East Tennessee vote contributed heavily to the election of Ray Blanton as Tennessee governor. Blanton, a native of the area and a Democrat, used the med school as a key issue in his campaign, and used his influence after ek ' ( tion to win state funding in the form of several million dollars in allocations for support of the effort. Two disappointing rebuffs from the Liaison Committee of the American Medical Association (AM A) were endured by med school supporters before tentative approval was granted June 30, 1977. The letter of reasonable assurance is- sued by the AMA inspection committee released approxi- mately $34 million in federal funds for further medical de- velopment. ETSU was the last school to secure funding under the Teague-Cranston Att, but also the recipient of the largest VA grant. The original seven-year grant designates some two and a half million dollars for equipment purchase, $12.5 million for renovation of VA facilities at Mountain Home, and $19 million for staff and faculty salary support. A third development during the summer of 1977 was found in approval of plans for a department of internal medicine as a part of the school. Plans were given the green light by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education, which reports to the AMA. Other departments within the college as of early 1978 included anatomy, biochemistry, pharmacology, physiology, surgery, and pediatrics. Dr. Jack Mobley, dean of the college, entered his second year with the medical institution in 1977-78. Mobley, who received his B.S. degree in 194h from the LJniversit of Ar- kansas, his M.D. Degree in 1948 from Vanderbilt Medical School, and his M.D. in Surgery in 1956 from Mayo founda- tion and University of Minnesota Graduate School, looks toward the future development and expansion of the 4T school with much optimism. The impact of the school on the entire East Tennessee area has already been enormous. Health care practice cen- ters in Kingsport, Bristol and Johnson City are presently or soon will be providing community services and some relief to the area ' s medical shortage. A special para-medical school in Elizabethton also began during the year as a side- light of the main school. Over 40 students were enrolled in the first class of the school named in honor of Marshall T. Nave. Economic impact of the school is largely to come. Al- though land prices in some areas have risen slightly due to the school, full effects will not be felt for several years. The school lies in one of the fastest growing regions in the U.S., a standard metropolitan statistical area which is among the fastest growing regions in the entire South. With the announcement of tentative accreditation, plans were finalized for a new city hospital costing $40 million. An addition to the VA hospital has also been announced for the same vicinity of the city structure. These are perhaps the surest signs of the continuing growth of the area, and both will work in cooperation with the med school. A major hurdle in the part of the med school at one time was a lack of laboratory, office, and classroom space. To al- leviate this problem, a game of departmental shuffleboard was played throughout much of the 1977-78 year, a game which resulted in many changes. When the multi-million dollar D.P. Gulp Student Center was completed in 1977, the old student center building in the heart of the campus un- derwent extensive renovations to allow creation of office complexes for the med school. f I A2 1-Dr. Anthony DeLucia of the department of surgery prepares a monkey for cancer experiments. 2— Mrs. Julie Read checks smoking apparatus in cancer research on monkies. 148 Medicine Another earlier help had been found in the completion of renovation and remodeling of Cilbreath Hall, a project which eventually is hoped to allow the university ' s math- ematics department new facilities as a replacement of the present Carson Hall, with med school personnel then occu- pying that building. Completion of the long-delayed Memorial Center in the summer of 1977 also opened the way for additional labs and offices. Construction began in early November of the year and continued throughout the ensuing quarters in an effort to have sufficient office space available to meet AMA standards. Entrances cut into end-wall panels of the Min- idome will allow otherwise unassigned space of the struc- ture to be utilized by the med school. The expansion of a well-paid professional medical staff also continued throughout the year as over 80 professionals were employed as the first of an eventual 110 full-time employees. State and federal funding, grants, and private contribu- tions continued to increase the scope and quality of the med school throughout the year. In October 1977, a Department of Health, Education, and Welfare start-up grant was released to the school, creating a $900,000 windfall for support personnel, lease of additional office and classroom space, and supplemental equipment purchases. Dean Mobley said lease space would probably be in the form of classrooms and offices in area hospitals. ETSU President Arthur DeRosier said of the grant: This is another important grant award for the College of Medicine. I am personally grateful for this kind of support. A New Year ' s present of over a $1 million was received by the school in January of this year through a private dona- tion by Dr. Paul F. Dishner, a California doctor who is a na- tive of Duffield, Va. The largest private contribution to the school yet made, the grant consists of half-interest in a Cali- fornia medical clinic, 90 acres of land in Blount County, Tenn., and $50,000 worth of cattle. If all goes well, all the interest and money invested in the East Tennessee Medical effort will pay off in a few years as present doctoral-hopefuls render badly needed services to a once backward region. This home-town incentive is an important part of the Teague-Cranston bill, with students more likely to practice in the surrounding region having preference over others. 3-A phase contrast and fluores- cent microscope is used by Dr. Margaret Hcxjgland in the depart- ment of internal medicine. 4— Marty Ashley (left) has her Ach- illes tendon tested by Dr. Bart ara Snell (right). Medicine 149 College of Medicine (cont ' d) School of Graduate Studies East Tennessee State completed its 29th year of graduate instruction during the 1977-78 school year. Over 1,600 students were enrolled in the graduate pro- gram during fall quarter. The school, which was begun in 1949, offered 10 degrees during the year on the master ' s specialist ' s, and doctoral levels. Degrees offered by the school were the master of arts, science, business administration, city management, envi- ronmental health, and fine arts in teaching, in addition to a specialist in education degree, and doctoral degrees in edu- cation and biomedical science. Students working toward master of arts degrees were able to concentrate in several areas, among them art, busi- ness education, economics, elementary education, secon- dary education, library services, educational administration, educational supervison, instructional communication, English, science education, geography, history, industrial education, industrial technology, physical education, politi- cal science, psychology and guidance, reading, sociology, and special education. Graduate students working toward a master of science degree were also able to major in several areas, including biology, chemistry, health sciences (microbiology), math- ematics, and physics. Minors were offered in each of the master of arts and science degree areas, in addition to minor programs of study in health education, philosophy, speech, driver edu- cation, and biochemistry. Special programs continued during the year included a master of business administration degree through which graduate students were prepared for administrative respon- sibilities in business, government, and industry, and a mas- ter of arts in teaching degree for elementary education teaching which was designed for master ' s applicants who majored in non-education areas in undergraduate work and did not gain certification. The latter program allowed stu- dents to work toward certification on the graduate level. A master of city management degree was also part of the graduate school ' s offerings for the year, being a profes- sional degree designed to train graduate students for posi- tions in city administration. An internship of two quarters follows four quarters of course work with on-the-job train- ing under an experienced city manager. Two other special degrees, a master of science in envi- ronmental health and a master of fine arts degree, were also included in graduate programs for the year. The former pre- pared students for specialist and administrative positions in governmental, in dustrial, and educational institutions, while the latter sought to prepare students for professional ca- reers as artists, or artists-teachers in institutions of higher education. CAROL TAYLOR Dr. Elizabeth McMahan completed her seventh year as dean of the graduate school in 1977-78. She came to East Tennessee in 1971 soon after completing her Ed.D. work in 1%9 at Duke University. She had earlier received her B.S. degree from Kearney State College in 1943, and her M.S.P.H. from the University of North Carolina in 1944. ETSU ' s graduate program offered a broad spectrum of opportunities in professional and liberal arts ' areas as com- pared to similar regional schools, according to McMahan. An example of the wide scope of the ETSU graduate pro- gram was seen in the acceptance of four programs in 1977- 78 for the Southern Educational Board Common Market, an interstate agreement among Southern states for sharing un- u sual graduate programs, with participating states making arrangements for residents who qualify for admissions to enroll in specific programs in other states on an in-state tui- tion basis. ETSU programs selected for inclusion among the market ' s offerings were city management, library services, environ- mental health, and industrial technology. The graduate faculty, which was organized three years ago from faculty teaching graduate courses, numbered over 250 during 1977-78 and encompassed 29 departments of the university. 4-Dr. Elizabeth McMahan, dean of graduate studies. ?4 College of FARMacology A simple kinda life never did me no harm, Raisin ' me a family and working on a farm. My days are all filled with an easy country charm: Thank God I ' m a country boy. It was a journey into yesterday, yet surprisingly of today. It was a view of a different, but well-known, way of life in sharp contrast to the tech- nological, high-paced activity of a modern university community. Early Saturday morning, Dec. 17, 1977, I journeyed to Watauga, a few miles north of Johnson City, to visit friends. As I cut off the main highway and drove down a bumpy, curvy country road, sunlight gleamed through the towering trees overhead. A mailbox labeled J.T. Shortt soon came info view and showed I had reached my destination, the farm home of Bo and Debbie Shortt and their family of chickens, cats, dogs, and Amos, the pig. It was a heady experience to re- lax with a fresh cup of coffee, and then take a long walk around the farm to feed the menagerie of animals. An entourage of four people and three cats made quick work of feeding the chickens, and then proceeded to the star of the farm -Amos. Feeding Amos was more fun than work. He ran freely outside his pen- he was actually more of a pet than a farm animal-and sniffed everything, including my feet, which he appar- ently thought might make an early appetizer. My different ideas concerning feet and a few quick feints later produced a race up a nearby hill which Amos was definitely winning until Bo stopped the run with, Amos, your food is ready. The meal ended any thoughts by Amos of extra snacks, but a full stom- ach brought out another tendency— a definite desire for back-scratching, preferably by a nearby handy human. And when Amos wants his back scratched, you don ' t say no, unless of course you don ' t mind a hog root- ing after you until you give in or get run over. The conclusion of feeding led our group back to the yellow-boarded, metal-roofed farm house where we soon enjoyed a hearty country bre akfast, then sat and talked, and lis- tened to Bo play a song he wrote, in honor of his wife, on the guitar. I originally met Bo through an in- dustrial psychology class at ETSU and, upon talking with him on several oc- 1-Bo and Debbie stand back to watch Amos devour his food. 2-As they trek up the hill to home, 80 and Debbie are followed by the two feline members of their family. 3-The chores begin early in the morning-the chickens won ' t wait to be fed. casions, learned of our similar inter- ests of former military service and general life style. His invitation to visit his home was eagerly accepted by me. Bo, age 30, and Debbie, age 28, moved out to the farm some two years ago in a conscious effort to gain privacy and enjoy the out-of-doors. Living on the farm is like any other life style, says Bo. It offers whatever those living within it want or hope to create. It is a form of self-expression, also. In the spring, farm life offers a haven of nature at its best, while in the win- ter it is usually a house to chilly. There is medium in between, however, where one gains a rugged feeling of pride, a knowing that you ' re as self- ▼ 3 • -••J- . flV - sufficient as your technological so- ciety will permit. There ' s a magic in eating a meal of fried chicken, potatoes, and salad and knowing that you helped produce all of it. The farm life requires its own type of conformity, though mainly seen in living in harmony with na- ture—happy animals, rain on the roof, the rustling of wind throu gh large pines, and sunsets shaded only by fresh mountain air. Bo has previously worked as a guidance counselor, although he is currently a full-time student in psy- chology at ETSU, with hopes to be a basketball coach and guidance coun- selor after graduation. Debbie cur- rently works as a counselor at the Watauga Area Mental Health Hospi- Well, I got me a fine wife, I got me old fiddle.

He has become somewhat of an ar- tisan in woodwork in recent months, making some of the furniture used in the house and repairing many things for use. She has also developed other interests, including making burlap rugs. The couple maintains no farm animals other than the chickens and Amos, although they raise corn, po- tatoes, and other staples to help out on food bills. Bo and Debbie hope to move to Virginia in a few years, preferably back to the Honaker area from which Bo originates, but neither are com- plaining about their present life style. No neighbors are close to them, and a four-wheel drive vehicle or sturdy truck is required to get to the house, but both emphasize a willing- ness to share their farm experience with friends. Main adjustments for the two have come in the early morning rising re- quired to get feeding and farm chores done before going to work each day, and in the relearning of communica- tion betvk ' een them to supplant the lack of continuous media exposure. 4-Having a little fun with Amos, Bo tries to keep his nose out of the buckets. 5— Early morning walks from the house are invigorating as well as enjoyable.

Bo has become a fairly accomplished guitarist in recent months, a hobby which helps pass the time, while both say they also just enjoy talking. The peacefulness of any life style can only be measured by those living in its natural slowness. There ' s no rush. The creek always moves the same, the garden grows at its same slow pace, and the chickens lay the eggs the same way. This slowness of living is our at- tempt to make each day last a little longer, to appreciate a little longer what peace and harmony really mean.

Various events for sorority participation are in- cluded in the week ' s activities, including sign, spirit, skit, and carnival competitions, with points awarded for winning sororities. Two Pike brothers are picked by the competing groups to assist and coach events. The sorority with the most points wins the overall competition.

ETSU and the Tri-Cltles area had snow during the Christmas season of 1977 and also during the first few days of January 1978, a situation that seemed comforting and just right for snowball fights and snowy escapades. Unfortunately, though, the snow during the 1977-78 school year did not stop in January. February and March each had more than their share of the white stuff as several snow storms blan- keted the area for much of the winter, creating severely hazard- ous driving conditions and generally miserable living conditions. Temperatures fluctuated wildly during the months also, plung- ing to a negative five degrees in late January, for example, after registering in the 40-degree range only two days earlier. Students fluctuated wildly also as getting to classes from across town or across campus though frozen and packed ice and snow became a thrill a minute. As expected, classes were never cancelled, although students and professors alike often wished they were. The general hard- ship and discomfort of the weather was compounded also by t he already rushed condition of the shortened winter quarter which always gives rise to last-minute tests, papers, and projects as students and professors struggle to get all the required material covered. 1-Cilbreath Hall seems entrapped amid a sea of snow. 2-Ramps and walkways lead- ing to the Student Center were lost beneath several inches of snow. 3-Cars became vehicles to be parked and not driven during the worst of the winter. 4-Grace(ul designs emerged from the white stuff which covered the campus much of the winter. 5- Ice and snow-laden trees transformed campus scenes into winter wonder- lands. 6-Walking became a rediscovered art as weather conditions prevented easy rnobility by car. « Numerous non-class campus activities were cancelled, in- cluding a late January Morehead State-ETSU basketball game, a situation which did little to alleviate the boredom of study and snow. The harshness of the winter months was characterized by weather figures for the month of February, as compiled by the National Weather Service Office at Tri-City Airport. Normal aver- age temperature for February is 38.7 degrees, although February 1978 enjoyed a decidedly cooler 34.5-degree average reading. Some 6.7 inches of snow was reported for the month, a contrast to the 2 or 3 inches normally received. It wasn ' t all bad, though. Skiing enthusiasts had good to ex- cellent condition most of the winter and ski resorts were able to open earlier and remain open well into March, a situation which amounted to much greater enjoyment, whetheu i ically or economically, for all concemed. 4 H When spring finally began to show itself in mi WSrch, how- ever, there were few people in the Tri-Cities area who were not ready for a weather change. Athletics Stn The Season That Was After nearly five years of using the Mini-dome as a recruitment aid, the football Buccaneers eagerly awaited the opening game of the 1977-78 sea- son in the then newly-named Memo- rial Center. The optimism of a new season was being whispered again after a disap- pointing 3-7 record in 1976-77, with quiet words of encouragement for the approaching year echoing around campus several weeks before fall quarter classes resumed. Levels of ex- pectation soared, though, when it was finally confirmed that the first game against North Alabama State would be played inside the four-and-a-half acre dome regardless of the degree of completion. Strong notes of hope for the com- ing season were also found in the more experienced offense that was complemented with strong running backs and receivers. Even the offen- sive line seemed to find itself in a stronger position with four returnees from the previous year ' s escapades. The only weak point for the team seemed to be in the quarterback slot. Who will fill that position? was the question after spring practice in 1977. By the beginning of the season only Mark Hutsell and Sammy Simpson contended for the slot, giving the lin- ing in the cloud of optimism a lacing of hesitancy. The 1977 squad had quite a legacy to follow in the 1976 Big Blue Ham- mer defense. Relinquishing only 115.7 yards per game in 1976, the 1977 defense was missing several of its cor- nerstones in Marion Brooks, Marty Tinglehoff, Charles (Big Tuna) Nor- man, and Doug Brown, the latter two being named All-Conference for their performances. The Big Blue Hammer lost its grip, though, through graduation losses and ineligibility with no one able to fill the defensive positions quickly. An attempt was made to in- crease the speed and reaction time on the part of the linebacking corps by adding a mnning back, George Ru- gate, to the group, but a more cau- tiously optimistic tone was nonethe- less fostered in regard to the defense. If the initial contest of any year could foretell the season ' s outcome, then the Bucs would be in for a uphill battle— and they were. The first game of the season for the Bucs was held in Memorial Center against a squad from what was formerly Florence State. Wide sweeps and the option play destroyed most ETSU defensive plans and the final 16-point spread showed many weaknesses in defen- sive retaliation and offensive movement. Furman, a Southern Conference school, did little to allow the Bucs to regain confidence. Exploiting the pre- y v VV ' •1 162 Football Wk vious week ' s weaknesses, the Pala- dins continued decimating sweeps, combined with a strong passing and rushing game, to give them an easy 42-12 win. Although the Paladins ac- cumulated over 500 yards total of- fense, the Bucs gained a respectable rushing total of 351 yards. Returning to the silver-domed Me- morial Center, the Bucs hosted the Eastern Kentucky Colonels in a show of overconfidence and frustration. The Colonels, amassing over 600 yards offensively, managed to salvage a win by optioning left for a 90-yard touchdown with less than two minutes remaining. A similar 0-3 worksheet of the Hill- toppers of Western Kentucky did not seem to improve the Buccaneer spirit and poise as the ' Toppers avenged a 28-16 loss of one year ago. The down- hearted Bucs entered the game with a semblance of a will to win, but to no avail, as a fourth quarter burst of 19 points by the opponents turned the tide.

Football 16.1 Toting a 0-4 record onto the home field gave few ETSU fans much to cheer about aboard the Buccaneer ship. But catching the Mountaineers at a low ebb, an explosion was sparked that resounded throughout the dome as the home squad avenged a humiliating loss (44-3) the previous year with a 38-20 win, setting a new team record for total offensive yards (506) in the process. The Buc explosion was to be quickly doused by another Southern Conference team-the Catamounts of Westem Carolina. On the strength of the passing-receiving combination of Wayne Tolleson-Darrell Lipford, the Cats shocked the defenseless Bucs, 35-0, gaining 494 offensive yards and 31 first downs in the trouncing. Join the Gold Rush! Homecoming! Alumni! And the Homecoming game! With the once controversial dome still not filled for a game, the Bucs enter- tained the Murray State Racers in an event that was concluded with an ag- gravating 13-10 loss and the resigna- tion of head coach Roy Frazier. A disillusioned Buc te am traveled to then conference-leading Tennessee Tech to encounter a strong Eagles team in a match which unquestion- ably proved the Cookeville squad ' s superiority. The tenacious Bucs scored 20 points to the Eagles ' devas- tating 63, a mark which set a new team record for most points scored by an opponent.

The Season That Was maining three-and-a-half minutes of the second half to gain the lead and the victory. The 24-10 loss to the Governors meant several things to the 1977 edi- tion of Buccaneer football players. First, it was the culmination of a long, disappointing season— the seventh consecutive losing season since 1970 for the Buccaneers. Second, the loss signaled the end of the line for head coach Roy Frazier as his resignation became effective im- mediately after the final game. Over- all, Frazier accumulated 16 wins, 35 losses, and two ties in his five years as head football mentor. Consequently the end of the final game meant the confirmation of Jack M. Carlisle to the head coaching posi- tion for the 1978 season. Carlisle relin- quished his two-year assistant football coaching position at the University of Mississippi to accept the difficult task of rebuilding and reworking the Buc football program for the 1978 sched- ule. As a head coach, Carlisle dazzled hopeful ETSU fans, having lost only 17 per cent of 226 games in his 25 years in that position. In an effort to make quick and pre- cise preparations for immediate re- cruitment, Carlisle created his own staff of assistants before the Christ- mas holiday break.

The season ended in disappointment and frustration for most football players and fans at ETSU. In the darkened sky, however, shone a few stars. Dennis Law, a veteran wide-receiver, was named to the 1977 AII-OVC team for his sparkling performances in averaging 14.7 yards per catch with four touchdowns. As a retum specialist, he averaged 28.0 and 28.7 yards in the punt and kick-off retum categories, respectively. Although only playing eight games due to injuries, running back Greg Wilson averaged 5.8 yards per rush for 702 total yards, while backfield companion Charles Clark rushed for an average of 6.3 yards per carry. Wilson ' s explosive speed ac- counted for 542 yards in punt and kick-off retum yardage. Defensive stand-outs were brilliant in their own respect. Running back-turned-linebacker George Fugate made 93 solo tackles and assisted in 63 others in concluding his star-studded career at ETSU, while sophomore Doug Whetsel com- plemented Fugate with 71 tackles and 59 assists during the season, giving Buc fans hope for the future. Another sophomore, Levi Robinson, averted many catas- trophes by making 87 unassisted tackles and 60 assisted stops in his position as defensive back. Frosh defensive back Gail Livingston made 51 tackles and 20 assists for the Buc cause, and pulled down four interceptions. Noseguard Al Anderson performed well also, making 56 tackles and 25 assists, and har- assing quarterbacks throughout the year. Shining stars in a dismal season could never cover many of the humiliating final statistics that boiled down to only one thing: a losing season— no more, no less. Thomas Bayfess Football 1 67 earn To Behold -6% Randy Meeks And Ray McBride Four-mile morning runs, five to seven-mile after- noon runs, and plenty of teamwork proved to be a winning formula for the 1977 edition of the Irish Brigade, a group otherwise known as the East Ten- nessee State cross country team. Coach Dave Walker ' s 1977 crew emerged from a grueling season as the greatest squad to date in the illustrious and star-studded Buccaneer cross coun- try history, taking top honors in every meet up to NCAA natinal championship competition. The incredible season began in Bloomington, Ind., Oct. 1, with the Indiana Invitational, an event which annually plays host to some of the finest cross-country teams in the nation. First place eluded the Bucs in the initial meet, but the overall title did not as sixth, seventh, eighth, 20th and 26th-place finishes put East Tennessee out front. Louis Kenny, a junior from Mollinger, Ireland, led the charge in the meet, followed closely by senio teammate Mark Finucane, a resident of Buffalo N.Y., Mike Dixon, a sophomore from Toronto, Cart ada, Ray Flynn, a senior from Longford, Ireland, an Zane Branson, a Moneta, Va., sophomore com pleted scoring the meet. Walker called the squad ' s performance a littl off form. That is, we did not have the speed w normally have, and apparently hit the right psy- chological combination as both areas improved during the squad ' s next meet, Oct. 15, in the Fuif man Invitational in Greenville, S.C. Give us another couple of weeks, and we ' ll be good, commented Walker following his harriers ' running in what came to be as Super Saturday. Team honors were again grabbed by the Buc runs ners as they nailed down six of the top 10 spots a Furman, an incredible feat that marked the best gerformance by any group from ETSU. j 1-On Ihe first lap of the Region III Championships in Greenvill S.C, Mark Finucane follows the leader from underneath lh| trees. 2-Louis Kenny crosses the finish line in second place o the six-mile course, followed by Richmond ' s Hillary Tuwei an teammate Mark Finucane. 1 Kenny again led the way for his teammates with 28:51 timing good for first place.

Dixon took fifth at Furman with a 29:40 clocking Flynn was sixth, also at 29:40, and Branson seventh at 29:43.

V . 170 Cross Country Hard work was evident during the next stop on the Buccaneer victory circuit as Walker ' s crew ran past the competition in the Tennessee State Cham- pionships at Nashville Oct. 29 with first, second, third, fourth, and seventh-place finishes. Flynn claimed top individual honors this time and became the Tennessee individual champion with an incredible time of 23:04. Kenny followed his teammate closely, actually being clocked in the same time, while Finucane came in third with a strong 23:09 time. Dixon came home in 23:27, and Branson finished the scoring with a 24:07 finale. Tough Ohio Valley forces met in Bowfing Green, Ky., Nov. 5, to decide the best in the conference for 1977, with Murray State being especially interested in the title after having finished second to ETSU at Indiana. All opponents ' hopes of derailing the Buc ex- press were quickly crushed, however, as the Irish Brigade again proved victorious, claiming individ- ual and team championships. Finucane-ETSU was recorded in the OVC books as individual champion for 1977 as a result of his 31:31 time. His supporting cast captured third, fourth, sixth, eighth. and ninth positions in the meet, with Kenny (31:57), Dixon (32:05), Leek (32:22), Flynn (32:43), and Branson (32:45) finishing in that order. Region III Championships of the NCAA were the next hurdle for East Tennessee on their national championship journey, although their return trip to Furman University in Greenville, S.C. proved even more successful than the first. Placing all five runners in the top 10 finishers. East Tennessee accomplished a feat never seen before in Region III history and captured the crown easily. The victory was magical as Kenny, Finucane, Flynn, Leek, and Dixon suddenly became well- known names on ETSU campuses and in the local area. The official finishes of Kenny— second (28:32), Finucane-fourth (28:34), Flynn-sixth (28:57), Leek-eighth (29:01), and Dixon-IOth (29:06), gave East Tennessee an unprecedented dominance in the region and capped off the incredible year. The victories had been great, the practices tough, the satisfaction enormous, and the year perhaps could have ended there, but the most difficult test still lay ahead in the NCAA National Champion- ships in Spokane, Wash.

The No. 7 finish was somewhat disappointin] team members and fans alike but represente definite improvement over the 20th-place finis 1976.

Buc Linksmen Nationally Recognized Success has long been a tradition with East Tennessee State golf, and the 1977 edition was no exception. Coach Hal Morrison led his charges through 12 matches during the spring and fall of 1977, a trek which earned them high finishes and national re- spect as one of the better teams of the South. Competition began Feb. 17-19 at Myrtle Beach, S.C, with the Coastal Carolina Classic as the squad made a tremendous start with a third-place finish. A seventh-place ending followed in the next match March 11-13 in the Palmetto Intercollegiate in Orange- burg, S.C, although the linksters re- bounded with a sparkling third-place finale in the Red Fox Intercollegiate in Tyron, N.C., March 16-18. Greenville, S.C, was apparently not to the Bucs ' liking In the March 24-26 tournament as they floundered to an llth-place finish, but the momentum in Cape Coral, Fla., as East Tennessee was credited with a second-place trophy, the highest finish of the spring. A brief rest before new competition apparently did not hurt the squad ' s momentum as they continued their quest toward national recognition with a third-place finish at Sewanee in the Tennessee Intercollegiate. One of the toughest and most pres- tigious tournaments in the South was next on the agenda for ETSU in the Chris Schenkel Invitational in State- sboro, Ca., April 22-24. Southern In- tercollegiate Tournament play the next weekend saw the Bucs grab fifth place overall. Amid national com- petition, the Bucs emerged with an eighth-place finish. Ohio Valley Conference tourna- ment play. May 17-18, ended for the golfers as they took fifth overall in the Lexington, Ky., competition. Fall quarter competition in 1977 opened in late September with a fifth- place finish in the Foxfire Collegiate All-American tournament in Pi- nehurst, N.C No. 5 was again the final position for the Bucs in early October play in the Greenleaf Intercollegiate Tourna- ment in Cypress Gardens, Fla., but fi- nal link competition for the year saw the squad grab second among com- peting schools in the Furman Inter- collegiate at Greenville, S.C. Scheduled for Morrison ' s players during the spring of 1978 were nine tournaments which began in early February and concluded with the OVC Championships in mid-May. New competition on the schedule for the season was seen in the Gator Intercollegiate in Gainesville, Fla., Feb. 10-12, and the Marshall Intercollegiate in Hunington, W.Va., Feb. 31 -March 1, in addition to annual tournaments in Orangeburg and Greenville, S.C, with the Palmetto and Furman Inter- collegiates, respectively.

Fantastic would probably be the most appropriate word to describe the 1977 Buccaneer tennis season. Picked to finish last in OVC pre-season polls, coach Buddy Hartsell ' s crew compiled the most impressive record in ETSU history by completing the spring campaign with a 20-3 record. And, were it not for some unfortunate resche- duling during the season which saw the squad play seven matches in a nine-day stretch, 1977 could have been an un- defeated year. In addition to the sparkling dual match record, the squad also participated in the Alabama Classic in late March, the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament in May, and was in- vited to play in the prestigious post-season Eastern Inter- collegiate Championships in Rochester, NY. Hartsell ' s bunch placed 12th out of 16 teams in the Clas- sic, which was won by the host Crimson Tide of Alabama with a total score of 124 out of 144 possible points. The Bucs totalled 44. To the surprise and chagrin of many opponents, the team placed fourth in the tough OVC tourney which was won by Eastern Kentucky, the team the Bucs had defeated earlier for the Eastern Division crown championships which an- nually plays host to 30 of the nation ' s top teams. The honor was great, but the young hard working crew was unable to attend. According to Hartsell, It was a long season for us, and the tournament came during our final exam week. The squad has been guaranteed a tournament spot in 1978, however. The members of the East Tennessee tennis squad held one very impressive bond— they all compiled winning records in both singles and doubles competition. Pierre Arnold, the sophomore from Buencjs Aires, Argen- tina, played the No. 1 position in 1977, compiling a 16-3 sin- gles and 13-3 doubles record. Howard Flagg, a junior from Brandon, Fla., posted 20-1 and 19-1 marks tor singles and doubles, respectively. Mark Boling, a Bowling Green, Ky., sophomore, had 19-1 and Ti-3 season finishes. Sophomore Mike Jones of Lima, Ohio, finished at 16-3 and 17-0, while juniors Keith Ponder of Johnson City and George Zahorsky of Cleveland, Ohio, posted records of 12-10, 10-8, and 9-9, 8-8, respectively. The two freshmen on the squad achieved special distinction by going undefeated. Billy R 5gers of Kingsport was 5-0 and 9- 0, while Ronnie Welch from Elizabethton was 2-0 and 6-0 in singles and doubles, respectively. The 1978 squad was also expected to be impressive as most of the 1977 crew returned. Bolar, Flagg, and Welch will not return for the Bucs this spring, but international play- ers— Tienie Prinsloo of South Africa, Ron Williams of Austra- lia, and Pierre Blais of Canada— who were expected to bol- ster championship hopes of area tennis fans in spring competition.

Besides a new head coach, Charley Lodes and a first-time ever assistant coach, John Whited, the team had many new faces and even a new logo— The Battlin ' Bucs. An ambitious 58-game scheduled faced the 1978 squad as it began preparations in late January. Practices were curtailed sharply by bad weather, although floor and recrea- tion areas in Memorial Center pro- vided adequate room for hitting, fielding, and simulated situations. Teams on the schedule included perennial powers Georgia Tech, Flor- ida State, Tennessee, and David Lip- scomb, in addition to Morehead State and other tough OVC foes. Lodes, a proven winner with a 356- 169 lifetime coaching record, came in the fall of 1977 to East Tennessee from Tyler (Texas) Junior College after 11 years of coaching experience on various levels, brief time as a profes- sional player, and All-America status during collegiate years. Whited, a living legend in baseball from Kingsport Dobyns-Bennett High School, came to the Buccaneer base- ball organization in early fall of 1977 after 15 years at DB where he won 10 conference championships and com- piled an incredible 294-86 won-loss record. He, too, is a former profes- sional player. We ' re going to make things hap- pen, said Lodes in previewing his squad ' s spring schedule. The 58- game schedule we have arranged should really test our new and youth- ful program. We realize that it will be difficult to take 10 returning lettermen, 11 ju- nior college transfers, and three or four freshman and gain equality with proven quality programs, but we do feel we will be respectable and very 1-New assistant coach )ohn Whited (left) and new coach Charley Lodes look toward better Buccaneer baseball fortunes. competitive and can compete with the better programs. With a few breaks, he continued, and being able to escape the injury bug at key positions, we may surprise a few people this season. We ' ll be an exciting ball club to watch. We ' re not going to be a power-laden ball club that can sit and wait for someone to jack one out of the park. We ' ve got average speed with certain line-ups and good arms defensively. If we ' re able to score some runs for our pitchers we could have an excellent year. Pitching could be our back bone, especially left- handed pitchers, where we have sev- eral good arms. Our skill positions up the middle are ably manned with quality people. We should be fairly strong defensively and have good depth without weak- ening ourselves defensively. We could have problems with inexperi- ence behind the plate. In the outfield, speed and good defensive play should help us.

Along the way, Smith was voted OVC coach of the year, while his entire starting lineup was given all-conference recognition. From the opening tip-off Nov. 28, 1977 against Campbell College, to the final buzzer against Western Kentucky in the OVC tournament March 3, 1978, the season was filled with excitement and extreme optimism. After disposing of Campbell 95-66 in their season opener, the Buccaneers trounced Appalachian State on their home court, 80-63. UNC-Wilmington was the first to burst the vic- tory bubble with a 67-57 win in the next contest, although the winning feeling returned with a 72-63 Buc win over East- ern Montana before they faced the Wake Forest Demon Deacons in Memorial Center. More than 8,000 fans turned out for the game, which was expected to be a lopsided Wake Forest victory. Such was not the case, as the Bucs stayed close to the Demon Deacs throughout the game, falling behind by no more than eight points while grabbing leads of four points. Ques- tionable officiating eventually was the difference in the heartbreaking 70-69 loss. The game proved, however the Buccaneers were capable of playing with some of the toughest teams in the country. After two important victories against North Carolina-Ash- eville and Western Carolina, ETSU headed to Richmond, Va., for the Colesium Invitational Tournament over the Christmas break with optimism and hopes for one of the best seasons of recent years. The first-round opponent in that tourney was Virginia Union, a team that ranked high nationally in scoring aver- age. A 91-80 disposing of Union in a very physical ballgame was the result, with the Bucs facing Virginia Commonwealth in the title contest. Playing without D.C. Smith who had in- jured a hand against Virginia Union, and with Cat Watson injured as well, the Bucs were beaten, 86-71. The long-awaited debut of Joe Perry, six foot-seven inch forward who transfered from the University of Virginia, came Jan. 3. Perry did not disappoint coaches or fans as he scored 22 points and grabbed nine rebounds in just 16 minutes against Robert Morris College, and the Bucs routed their hapless opponents, 93-55. Four days later rugged Ohio Valley Conference play be- gan on the right step with the Bucs knocking off Murray State, 75-72, selected to finish first in the OVC, was fol- lowed two days later by another team that had been picked to finish ahead of the Buccaneers and who also found out just how wrong those predictions were. The Austin Peay Governors went back to Clarksvilie smarting from a 66-58 loss, and the word was out- East Tennessee State was for A Year To Remember real. After those two wins, the Bucs went on their most dan- gerous road trip of the season, entertaining Western Ken- tucky and Middle Tennessee back-to-back. Although they lost both of the contests by the narrowest of margins, 98-94 to Western in overtime and 68-61 to Middle, they refused to fold, as friends and foes predicted. The losses actually seemed to help the Bucs as they next reeled off three straight victories against arch-rival Appala- chian State, and OVC opponents Eastern Kentucky and Tennessee Tech.

Only a loss to pesky UNC-Wilmington, 82-87, slowed the Big Blue as they headed into yet another tough road trip, but Sonny Smith ' s cagers were not to be denied as Murray became the first victim by an 84-69 score. From Murray, it was on to Austin Peay, where the Gover- nors were again extremely difficult foes. Clutch free throw Basketball 185 1-A familiar sight for Buc foes-a fast break results in two points.

For the Bucs, it was an impossible dream. After all, only one other team from ETSU had ever been in the OVC tour- nament, and it had been only that same 1967-68 team which had won. The test was yet to come, however. If the team could de- feat Western Kentucky and Middle Tennessee in unques- tionably the toughest home stand of the year on Feb. 11 and 13, they would have sole possession of first place in the OVC. The game against Western Kentucky, played before a record 9,800 fans, emerged as the most exciting, emotion- draining contest an East Tennessee State team has played in years. The contest went into three overtime periods, each more exciting than the last, with clutch free throws and ef- fective high-stack offense spelling the difference in the Bucs ' 80-77 victory. The win set up a showdown for first place with Middle Tennessee the next Monday night with some 8,800 fans fill- ing the Dome. An aggressive zone defense by the Blue Raiders proved to be too much for the Bucs, but the 62-53 loss did little to slow down the Big Blue ' s OVC-tourney- bound squad. Another overtime win against Eastern Kentucky, which was won on a last-second basket by Cat Watson, followed by two wins over Morehead State by 74-61 and 93-79 scores, gave the Bucs only their second share of the OVC crown since ETSU entered the league in 1958. f2 MC- T ' ' ■ ' • 5 4A ETSU ' s chances for sole possession of the conference crown were ruined by a spirited, hot-shooting Tennessee Tech squad in a 72-64 decision at Cooi eville Feb. 25, but no matter how one looked at it, the Bucs were OVC champions. Several hundred of the Buccaneer faithful made the long trip to Bowling Green, Ky., March 3-4 for the OVC tourna- ment. The Bucs ' tirst-round opponent. Western Kentucky, had the all-important home court advantage. The game was reminiscent of both regular season games, but Western prevailed, 79-75, to end the season for the Bucs. Western eventually took the conference crown and advanced to NCAA competition. Although the season had ended on a less than exciting note, no one could be disappointed with the Buccaneers ' efforts. Their 18 victories, the most by an ETSU team in 10 years, was more than even t he coaching staff had hoped for, with the 10-4 conference slate and first-place honors being icing on the cake. There is little question the Bucs will be contenders for years to come. Key performers like Scott Place, )im Smith, and D.C. Smith, who averaged scoring 12.6, 15.5, and 10.6 points and snaring 9.3, 6.5, and 5.1 rebounds a game, re- spectively will be back to bolster basketball hopes. Others, like |oe Perry, who averaged 7.5 points and 5.1 rebounds a game after joining the squad at mid-season; At- lee Hammaker, whose quickness and non-stop hustling play made the Bucs ' , super sub Cat Watson, whose 8.7 points-per-game average was overshadowed by his in- valuable floor leadership and numerous floor assists each game; and Vincent Scott, the burly forward who left the squad but came back after Christmas to make strong contri- butions in 13 ball games, will also return for one or more campaigns. Smith ' s strength throughout the year was depth, with sports writers and coaches alike crediting ETSU with the strongest bench in the conference.

Graduating seniors for the year included Luke Veney, a starter in 1976-77 who in- jured a knee early and never worked back into the top five, and B.J. Johnson, a man who came to be known as Mr. Basketball by the end of the season through a flam- boyant style of play that endeared him to fans and gave gray hairs to coaches.

Fall quarter 1977 began a new era at East Tennessee State University as Memorial Center, commonly known as the Mini-dome, opened for sporting events of all kinds after years of frustration and wait. The $8.3 million, four-and-a-half acre building, the only one of its kind east of the Mississippi River, emerged during the year as a symbol of the new Buccaneer athletics, with an OVC-championship basketball team and a top-notch tennis team adding luster to the already magnificent structure. Students, local residents, alumni, and opponents were awed by the immensity, yet incredible utility, of the build- ing. At no sporting contest were the 12,000 individual seats filled, but Buc fans neared the 10,000 mark on several occasions. The climate-controlled Dome, similar to a structure built by Idaho State University in 1970, brought together the most modern concepts of physical education through a physical education lab, handball courts, tennis courts, a rifle range, a one-sixth mile oval track, offical-size Astro-Turf football field. Tartan turf basketball courts, volleyball courts, gymnastics areas, general athletics areas, and auxilliary gyms. Modern training room facilities, physical education of- fices, and athletic administration offices were gradually moved into the structure throughout the year as construc- tion continued and space became available. Medical school facilities also took shape during the year as construction on the second level of the center continued in preparation for the first class of students in the fall of 1978. Intramural program interest increased also as more fa- cilties became available, and the general athletic con- sciousness on campus reached record levels of interest. Jogging and racquetball became the thing for lunchbreak or post-dinner activities. Notable events held in the Dome during the year in- cluded the Tri-City area band festival (a last-minute change due to bad weather in Bristol), the East Tennessee Relays, the State of Franklin high school track meet, the OVC In- door Track Championships, high school tournament bas- ketball action. Thus, it was the Year of the Dome, as students, faculty, alumni, and residents began to point with pride at the golden-arched facility which had been the butt of much 192 Memorial Center criticism and ridicule in previous years.

Memorial Cenler 193 They ' re ' Right On Track ' RANDY MEEKS 3-Ray Flynn breaks the tape first in mile run competition in the East Tennessee relays with a 4:05.3 timing. In a year when track fortunes were not expected to be bright, coach Dave Walker ' s crew of runners and jumpers proved everyone wrong with an outstanding indoor season and the pronnise of an even better outdoor slate. Excitement was undoubtedly the effect of Memorial Cen- ter on the track program for 1978 as the Tri-State area sud- denly became aware of collegiate track, and Buc tracksters responded with one of their best seasons in history. The excitement began Jan. 14 with the first-ever East Ten- nessee Relays as performers from national track powers such as Florida State, Auburn, and Western and Eastern Kentucky, in addition to regional schools and many unat- tached competitors, gathered in the Dome for the first in- door track competition ever in Johnson City. When the snow from some of the worst winter weather of the year and the smoke from some top-notch com- petition had cleared, several Buc tracksters were ranked among the best. Senior Irishman Ray Flynn reinforced his reputation in the mile run with first place at a 4:05.3 clip, while teammate Louis Kenny also turned the trick with a 13:34.6 timing in the three-mile run. Mike Dixon was not far behind Kenny in the latter event with a 13:48.7 finish. The two-mile run also saw Buccaneers among the lead- ers, with outstanding freshman Adrian Leek taking second with a 8:49.4 timing, while Mark Fipiucane followed at 8:55.7. Lee Hicks was the star for ETSU in the sprints with a third- place finish in the 60-yard dash at a 6.34 timing. %im p 1-Creg Davis takes the baton from ),C.

Mike Halim was one of the big guns for the Bucs with a first place in the long jump event with a 2.5-foot, two-inch leap, and a fifth in the triple jump with a 49-foot, six and one-fourth-inch leap. Ray Flynn was not to be denied the spotlight, though, as he anchored the distance medley team, which took first ? 1 r Track 195 ' Right On Track ' 1— Louis Kenny and Mark Finucane are all alone out front in the OVC three-mile run. 2-Adrian Leek and Mark Finucane hold a slight lead over a Tennessee runner in the East Ten- nessee Relays. with a 9:49.3 timing, and then took the mile-run event with a 4:04.8 tally. His efforts also earned him the OVC Indoor Athlete of the Year Award, an honor symbolic of the re- newed effort and better track futures at ETSU. Louis Kenny was also bringing in a first place for the Bucs in the three-mile run with a 13:32.5 timing, while running mate Adrian Leek showed his initial performances were not flukes by taking the two-mile run in an 8:47.6 timing, a new OVC record and some two seconds ahead of Flynn at 8:49.8. Austin Peay won the team competition with a last-event victory in pole vaulting. Records were broken at random, with seven new marks being established before the end of the two-day affair. The two home meets were highlights of the year which saw the indoor squad continue its tradition of rough sched- ules amid tough national opposition. Once again, though, the Bucs responded with good performances throughout ! ' ' -1,. ' ' T 2 m ' «!• 1% Track ■ the three-month season, with special recognition being garnered in the Pittsburgh Invitational in late January in domination of the action with four first-place finishes and most valuable runner honors by Flynn. Halim was second at Pittsburg in the triple jump after taking first place in the long jump. Kenny won the three- mile run with a 13:50.4 timing; Greg Davis was fourth in the 600-year dash; Herman Brown was tied for fifth in the 600-yard dash. Flynn earned his individual honor with a first place in the two-mile run at 8:53.0, and a first place in the 880- yard run with a 1:56.2 finish. He did not run the mile, his specialty, as preparation for later meets. The season was capped off with the participation of Flynn in the NCAA Indoor Championships in Detroit, Mich., in early March. Halim was also eligible for partici- pation but was sidelined the preceding week with illness. The outdoor schedule began March 18 with a qua- drangular meet in Murfreesboro and continued with the Florida Relays, the Carolina Relays, the OVC Quadrangu- lar meet, the Dogwood Relays, the Furman Invitational, the Penn Relays and Drake Relays, and the OVC Cham- pionships in succession until a needed open weekend in early May.

Track 197 The biggest and the best yet. That phrase perhaps best describes 1977-78 for the East Tennessee State Soccer Club. Seasonal totals showed the club with a 10-1-1 record, the Alpha team recording a 7-1-1 slate, while the younger Beta squad showed 3-0 credentials. Over 40 soccer enthusiasts practiced each Mon- day, Wednesday, and Friday during the late sum- mer and early fall under the watchful eyes of coaches Michael Marchioni and Robert Replies in preparation for the season. The soccer club ' s winning record, a welcome re- lief during the dismal football season, was in- dicative of the club ' s high caliber of play and com- petitive spirit despite lack of monetary or official support from the ETSU athletic program. Challenging was definitely the word for the 1977-78 schedule as the East Tennessee soccer teams took on the best in the area. The first game of the season came against Graham Bible College in early October and proved to be little more than practice for the Alpha team which took a 10-2 victory. The season-opening win was the beginning of a five-game streak for the club with the second win coming at the expense of Bristol United, 7-0. Perhaps the biggest victory of the year came in the Carson-Newman Invitational Tournament in Jefferson City, a mid-fall competition which saw East Tennessee emerge as overall winner. The first match-up of the tourney pitted Johnson City— neighbor Milligan College, a pairing that proved to be of little trouble for the soccer Bucs who took a 4-0 win. A tie game, 4-4, against the Knoxville Kickers fol- lowed the Milligan match, but East Tennessee re- bounded against host Carson-Newman the next day with a 4-2 victory to take the tournament crown on goals scored (12). The win was costly to the Bucs who lost the ser- vices of Ray Mc Bride due to a leg fracture suffered in the Carson-Newman match. An undefeated Cosmos team from Kingsport caught other team members ailing and winded the next week and handed East Tennessee its first loss of the season, a 7-3 setback in Kingsport. Milligan College again provided the opposition a week later and once again left without a victory, this time being defeated by a 7-0 margin as the Bucs put their soccer machine into high gear. A revenge-minded ETSU was ready for the King- sport squad the following week and knocked the visitors from the undefeated ranks with a con- vincing 6-2 victory on the ETSU practice fields. The Eagles ' squad from Jefferson City provided the last competition for the club, a match-up in late November that had a similar result, although a dif- ferent score, from the previous game— 6-2, East Tennessee. Most valuable player for East Tennessee during the year was Tom Carter, a sophomore at ETSU who learned soccer in Chile where his parents are missionaries. Carter ' s 20-goal season was high- lighted by his turning of the hat trick (three goals in one game) on several occasions. Mike Halim, an All-America performer for ETSU ' s track team in long jump competition, added 10 goals for the year to come in as No. 2 scorer. It was a great season, said coach Replies in re- viewing his charges ' exploits. I was very happy with our results. Beta team, a group of soccer enthusiasts de- scribed by coach Marchioni as newcomers to the game, proved their mettle with three wins for the year, taking a 15-3 rout of Washington College 198 Soccer Peplies.

With a 52-9 season record and strong finishes among the toughest competition nationally, the ETSU rifle team will cer- tainly not complain of having had a bad year. But 1977-78 was just a continuation of the srong, championship program of riflery at East Tennessee, a program which has produced three national championships, several individual na- tional champions, and 43 All-American shooters in only 15 years as a campus sport. The Bucs, who returned only three shooters from the 1976-77 squad which finished third in the nation, relied on the sharp-shooting skills of All-America shooter Gloria Parmentier, senior team captain Marsha Beasley, sophomore De- nise Cannella, and former All-America shooter John Akemon for a first-place finish in the NRA three-position colle- giate sectional in mid-February and No. 2 sectional finish in ISU and air rifle com- petition. National standings were ex- pected to be announced in early April after compilation and comparison of all national sectional scores. The riflers began the year on a differ- ent note as Ray Carter, a four-time All- America shooter at Tennessee Tech from 1970-73, was hired as the team ' s first civilian coach, and as new range facilities in Memorial Center were opened. The Bucs fared well in shoulder-to- shoulder competition for the year, emerging with a 4-1 dual meet record, with wins over Western Kentucky, North Carolina State, West Viriginia, and the U.S. Naval Academy. Tennessee Tech in- flicted the only loss on the Bucs in an impromptu match in late January which was arranged in place of a weather-can- celled Murfreesboro tournament. Tournament competition was not as kind to East Tennessee as the squad fin- ished with a 48-8 after placing second in the Tennessee Tech Invitational, second 200 Riflery in the Buccaneer Open Invitational, sec- ond in the Eastern Kentucky Invitational, fifth in the University of Kentucky In- vitational, and second in the West Point Invitational, with Tennessee Tech, the No. 1 team nationally for most of the year, the winner of each tournament. The Bucs ' only defeat of Tech came in NRA competition when they registerd a 1153-1146 triumph. Parmentier and Carter achieved spe- cial recognition during the season with medal-winning performances in the 1977 Championships of the Americas, in addi- tion to Parmentier ' s winning of an Award of Merit from Sports Illus- trated magazine for her performance in the 1977 Benito Juarez Games. The loss by graduation of only one shooter from this year ' s squad and the addition of two highly-regarded high school shooters should promise another championship year in 1978-79 for the Bucs. }-Vice-Presidenl (or Atademic Af- fairs Chris Bramlett lakes aim and hopt ' s during opt-ning ceremonies of the Buccaneer Open Invitational in October 1977. 4-But rifle coach Ray Carter explains firing procedures to Dr. Bramletl.

That statement is a mild understatement of the facts as women ' s athletic programs across the nation slowly, but in- exorably, shared the collegiate sports ' spotlight with men ' s programs, mainly through the auspices of Title IX federal legislation passed in 1975. East Tennessee State was no different as women ' s sports continued development in five directions— volleyball, bas- ketball, gymnastics, track, and tennis-with three women ' s coaches, separate sports scholarships, and regular media coverage. Janice Shelton, an alumnus of Georgetown College who came to ETSU in 1968 as women ' s basketball coach, physi- cal education instructor, and women ' s intramural director, and who had assumed the title of women ' s athletic director in 1974, was officially recognized during the summer of 1977 as assistant athletic director by Pres. Arthur DeRosier, a move that signaled the added emphasis and general impor- tance of the women ' s sports program in the university structure. Numerous logistical, promotional, and media problems were encountered throughout the various sports seasons of 1977-78 as fans gradually became accustomed to male and female athletes. One thing was clear, though, at the end of the year- women ' s athletics were here to stay. T 2 Women ' s Athletics— the Lady Bucs A 1 Volleyball RANDY MEEKS All good things must come to an end, as the saying goes. For the 1977 Lady Buc volleyball team, the saying was true as coach Emily Walker ' s squad experienced a disap- pointing 20-20 season after winning consecutive state championships in 1975 and 1976. The squad entered the Tennessee Collegiate Women ' s Sports Federation state volleyball championship in early November, hosted this year by ETSU with a 20-16 work- sheet. They emerged 0-4 in the tournament, however, as the University of Tennessee swept team honors, losing only one game along the way. The season did not go without its bright spots, though, as Kitty Frazier, a senior from Knoxville, completed a great four-year career for the Lady Bucs by having an- other fine season. In addition to being captain and floor leader this year, she was named to the all-star team in the state tournament. Coach Walker called her a tremen- dous defensive player and a very consistent server . Along with Frazier on the state all-star squad was ju- nior Nancy Beals from Kingsport. Nancy was co-captain this season and, along with Kitty, played on the two state 1-Brenda Starnes and Cayle Sykes execute a perfect double block dur- ing a home match. 2- Okay, now this is the way it ' s done, seems to be the feeling of coach Emily Walker as she counsels with Nancy Beals. championship teams. She continued to be a good all- around player and leader, during the season and will re- turn next year. One of the main problems in 1977 was youth and inex- perience as the squad played steak volleyball, finishing llth in the University of Delaware tournament at mid- season and taking fourth in the West Georgia In- vitational, but also finishing a disappointing fourth in the Appalachian State tournament and fifth state-wide. The season ' s play is hoped to prove invaluable in 1978. Other members of the 1977 squad, all of whom will re- turn this fall, included two other Kingsport juniors, Lise Bender and Janice Walker; Janice Pansier, a junior from Church Hill; Gayle Sykes, a Honaker, Va., junior; three sophomores, Kay Flanagan from jonesboro, Peggy Mitchell from Limestone, and Brenda Starnes from John- son City; and two freshmen, Shirley Smith from Eliza- bethton and Kim Harrell from Kingsport. Good recruiting is also hoped to provide more bench strength and future hopes. The squad also acquired a new coach for 1977 as Debby Jones, who played on both state championship teams, joined Walker as a graduate assistant coach.

Basketball RANDY MEEKS Coming off their first winning season in 1976-77 in several years, the 1977-78 Lady Buccaneer basketball team looked to be in for a banner year with experience and recruiting being hoped to provide strong basketball futures. The year and opponents were not kind to the squad, though, which finished 13-13 in regular season and tourna- ment play, and 4-8 in the Ohio Valley Conference. The state tournament in Memphis was a severe disap- pointment for the squad with losses of 98-59 to nationally- ranked Memphis State and 98-79 to Middle Tennessee eliminating the Lady Bucs early. Coach Nancy Boiler ' s squad had entered the tourney with impressive wins over Virginia Tech, Morehead, and Middle Tennessee, although suffering losses to Tennessee Tech, Georgia, and Western Carolina, a cycle symbolic of the mountains and valleys type season. This tendency was especially evident in the squad ' s early season 6-1 mark which fell to the .500 level with losses in the last 12 out of 19 games. Several outstanding individual performers kept the Lady Bucs in contention despite inexperience and the loss of two star players midway through the year, Ruth Ellis and Patti Crowe, for disciplinary reasons. The duo of Connie Franklin and Pam Kilday again led the squad in scoring and rebounding. Franklin, a senior from Madison Heights, Va., placed second team-wise in scoring with a 12.3 average while acting as floor leader, and first in rebounding with an 11.9 average, Kilday, an outstanding Second Row-Brenda Keene, Patti Crowe, Jennifer Campbell, Pam Kilday, Sharon Butler, Charlotte Robinson, Connie Franklin, Rhonda Hardin. 2— Front Row (left to right)— Ann Bougher, Cynthia Harris, Connie Keasling, Donna Jones, Sharon Allen, Kim King, Ruth Ellis, Annette Culberson, Gwen Crass. 206 Basketball sophomore from Creer.eville, led the club in scoring at a lb i clip and proved her full recovery from knee problems which sidelined her in 1977. Others scoring in double figures for the year included Charlotte Robinson, an Oak Ridge freshman who came on in the middle of the year to earn a starting berth and register a 12.1 scoring and 11.8 rebounding average, and Jennifer Campbell, a sophomore from Morristown who tallied a 10.9 average for the season. Other squad members included senior Sharon Butler of Cosby, whose 6-0 height continued to give the Lady Buc important inside strength; Greeneville sophomore Connie Keasling, who came on late in the season to make good ef- forts in several contests; freshman Ann Baugher from Elkton, Va., whose speed and defensive skill served to ignite the squad for rallies throughout the year; Sharon Allen, a Culpeper, Va., freshman who got a late start but showed signs of good scoring and defensive ability in the last third of the season; freshman Cynthia Harris from Morristown, and Donna Jones, from Sevierville, who provided strong play from off the bench; and freshman Annette Culberson of Mohawk, who made herself a spot on the squad and contributed much as playmaker in several games. Invaluable experience was gained by Boiler ' s young squad as 11 players saw playing time in 16 or more games during the season. Allen, Robinson, and Culberson were special highlights for the squad as each showed strong play and developed throughout the year, giving the Lady Bucs hopes for better years ahead despite the loss of Franklin and Butler to graduation. 3-Pam Kildav tries a shot as Morehead players defend and Sharon Butler (22) waits tor a rebound. 4-Caught in the middle, Charlotte Robinson goes up with a shot. 1977-78 Basketball Results ET 84 Mars Hill 92 85 Memphis State 80 49 Marshall 58 57 Va.

Freshman Connie Sessions of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., led the team all season with support from Monica Hamson, a ju- nior from Massachusetts and three-year veteran of the squad. After dropping a close season-opening dual meet to Western Kentucky, the squad v hich also includes JoAnn Peterson, )ulie Miller, Andra West, and Teresa Lee, dropped another heartbreaker, this time to the Crimson Tide of Ala- bama by a score of 117.0-101.4. Sessions led the Bucs in the meet with second-place all-around individual honors. Teammate Hamson was right behind with a third-place all- around finish. Admitting to a serious lack of depth, coach Chris Ayers ' crew played host to Virginia Tech ' s Gobblers in the team ' s only home meet and the first gymnastics competition in the Dome. With Sessions winning all-around honors and Ham- son placing second, the squad vaulted to its only victory a 105.40-98.55. Lee freshman from Knoxville, also turned in a super performance by placing fourth overall. The final meet took place in Miiledgeville, Ga., where host Georgia College took team honors with a score of 115.70. Duke University placed second at 108.4 and the Bucs were third with a 72.00. The score was misleading for neither Connie Sessions or Teresa Lee made the trip due to sickness necessitating the performance of unfamiliar rou- tines by other team members in an effort to maintain the team ' s score. Monica Hamson led the depleted squad by placing sixth all-around. State tournament results saw ETSU take second. Meet scores were compiled for state results with no actual state competition being held. 1-Left to right-Vicki Taub, Connie Sessions, Monica Hamson, Andra West, lulie Miller, Teresa Lee.

She was making reference to the natural spring in her legs. Her legs have been valuable to East Tennessee State as she has been a key player for the Lady Buccaneers the past four years with it not being unusual for her to pull down in excess of 20 rebounds on any given night. I ' ve always had spring in my legs, she continues. I don ' t know why because they ' re sort of skinn . I remember when I was a kid, I would get out of the house and c base dogs for hours. I don ' t know if that helped me or not, but it was fun. That sort of thing was not unusual in Franklin ' s family. The fourth child of nine in the small town of Madison Heights, Va., she was always playing ball with her five sisters and three brothers. It didn ' t matter what kind of ball they played they in- vented a game, if nothing else. One of her sisters is now also playing college basketball for Shewanee College in Murfreesboro, N.C. She also stars in volleyball for Shewanee. Franklin was an exceptional performer for the Lady Buc track team also during the past four years. As a youngster, she set two Virginia Junior Olympic records in the long jump and the 440-yard dash, and her own sister, age 12, may upstage her in the near future. A lune 1978 graduate, Franklin wants to go back to the Lynchburg area near home and get a coaching job. Her last season as a Lady Buccaneer had been frustrating as the Ohio Valley Conference is just now organizing a women ' s division in basketball. And, although the Ladv Bucs played a conference schedule tor the first time this season, there was no post-season tournament. A similar situation oc c urred in high sc hocjl when her bas- ketball team lost only one game her senior year, but didn ' t get a bid to the state tournament because there was none. ETSU trac k has presented Franklin with a similar situation also with no team existing until 1977, forcing her to practice by herself in hopes of eventual school support. She ' s totally in favor of the increased number of scholar- ships given out now to women ' s athletics. It ' s taken such a burden off a girl because you don ' t have to worry as much, says Franklin. Besides, it gives a lot of girls the chance they might not have otherwise to attend college. Franklin didn ' t have the advantage of scholarship aid as a freshman at ETSU and got help from several different sources from around home to attend school. She doesn ' t look like a dominating player and surprised some teams, as shown in her 13.3 per game scoring and 11.9 rebounding average for the season. Her general floor leadership and heads-up play have also been important factors in her recognition as one of the best female athletes at ETSU. 2-Franklin ' s jumping ability and aggressive play giye her ad- vantage over taller opponents. 3-Breaking away on a fast break, Franklin puts in two points for ETSU against Austin Peay Franklin 2C ' ' etj:, Tennis RANDY MEEKS We had a very good season, was the way coach Nancy Boiler summed up the Lady Bucs, spring 1977 tennis season. The girls are very deserving of their record. They worked hard and showed me a lot of willingness and dedication, she continued in describing the 9-5 sea- sonal record including a 5th place finish in the state cham- pionships in Memphis. The team was a young one consisting of two juniors- Sarah Barron and Molly Line; four sophomores— Margaret Curtner, Ruth Ellis, )ulie Knowles, and Annette St. Clair; and four freshmen— Patricia Carter, Connie Keasling, Amy Lush, and Jennifer Watkins. The team began somewhat slowly and, at one point, were only 5-4. Boiler and the squad were disheartened, also, just before the state tournament when Ellis, one of the top per- formers, was lost for the season with an ankle injury. They regrouped, however, and finished strong, claiming wins in four of their final five matches. Fall 1977 saw the Lady Bucs finish 5th in the first-ever women ' s OVC tennis championships which were won by a strong Western Kentucky squad. Considering the Kentucky schools play a fall instead of a spring schedule, the finish was even more impressive. Boiler expects her squad to be even more competitive in 1978. In addition to the return of the entire 1977 squad, the Lady Bucs have added Charo Lopez of Peru, who played No. 1 singles in the fall. 1— Molly Line, 2— Julie Knowles, 3— Charo Lopez, 4-Lea Bailey, 5- Donna Arnold 210 Tennis Mrch 31 -April 2 Apri 3 Apri 5 Apri 11 Apri 14 Apri 21-22 Apri 24 Apri 27 Apri 28 May 2 Martin, Tenn.

Emily Walker coached a small squad of only nine mem- bers which entered a limit( d number of events in five spring quarter meets. The squad was led by junior Connie Franklin, also a stand out on the Lady Buc basketball team. Franklin, who was forced to work out on her own the previous two seasons before the team formed, won many individual awards dur- ing the season, including the outstanding runner honor in the Murray State Invitational in April. She was voted the honor as a result of her first place finish in the 200-yard dash, a tie for the first place in the long jump, and a second place in the 440-yard dash. Franklin performed in these three events most of the spring and won most of her races. In the season ' s final meet, the Dogwood Relays in Richmond, Ky., she placed second in both the 220 and 440, and jumped to a fifth-place finish in the long jump. Much more was expected from Franklin as she entered her senior campaign in 1978. Joining Franklin on the historic 1977 squad were Jennifer Campbell, a freshman from Morristown, who placed fifth in the discus throw in both the Murray Invitational and Dog- wood Relays; Nancy Beals, a sophomore from Kingsport who also excels in volleyball; Mona Meyer, a newcomer from Minnesota; Marcia Gallagher, freshman from King- sport; Cathy Erwin from Jonesboro; Rosemary Jagels, fresh- man from Creeneville; and two other volleyball stand outs, sophomore Cayle Sykes from Honaker, Va., and freshman Brenda Starnes from Johnson City. Coach Walker looked forward to an even more success- ful season in 1978 with all mem bers returning with an added plus -a full season of team competition to the squad ' s credit. 4-Kim Harrell, who holds the high school Big Nine Conference record in high jump, arches up and over the bar. 5— Debbie Hilks (left) speeds past Rosemary lagels during practice runs.

The opening of the gigantic structure signaled new ex- pansion and development of the already popular intramural sports coordinated by Tom Joyce. Students responded to the new facilities and offerings with greater participation than in any previous year Some 40 separate competitive events were scheduled by the intramural office for possible student participation dur- ing the year with places of events rotated between the Dome, Memorial Gymnasium, University High ' s gymna- sium, intramural fields, the outdoor track oval, and the baseball field. Implementation of all sports programs was hampered in fall and winter quarter by construction and lack of availabil- ity of recreation areas in the Dome. Spring was expected to see greater intramural sports usage of the new building as varsity sports teams moved outside for practice and games. Sports offered during fall quarter included putt-putt golf, touch football, badminton, cross country, volleyball, pocket billiards, and wrestling. Winter quarter saw athletes move inside for basketball, bowling, one-on-one basketball, foul shooting contests, table tennis, swimming, and water tube polo. Spring activities were expected to include softball, golf, tennis, baseball, par-three golf, track, archery, and horse- shoes. Summer quarter activities were also planned with basketball, softball, tennis, badminton, and golf com- petitions expected to be offered. Publication of an informative intramural handbook at the start of the year also helped Joyce and his assistants work toward their objective of establishing and environment that is conducive to competitive sports, sportsmanship, fair play, and respect for others, and to fill a gap between the physical education service program and the intercollegiate athletic program. lntramurals 215 : - Intramural Highlights ' ' ir 216 lntramural 3 I ? -i. i X Q Intramural 217 21 8 Intramural I k9 _ t - , . .

ETSU has 13 fraternities and seven sororities and a frater- nal colony on its campus during 1977-78, the largest num- ber of Greek associations in the school ' s history. Panhellenic Council, the governing body of national so- cial sororities at ETSU, met twice a month during the year, planning activities and generally promoting good relations between the sororities and fraternities. The council is made up of the president and two delegates from each sorority. Officers were elected during the winter quarter by the group, with Frances Keezel elected president; Carole Smith, first vice-president (in charge of sorority activities); Kim Krenek, second vice-president (working with junior Pan- hellenic Council and assistant rush coordinator); Teresa Rosenbalm, recording secretary; Lynda Ledford, treasurer; Mandy Doll, rush coordinator; and Claire Bandy and Kim Slagle, parliamentarians. Formal Rush took place the first week of fall quarter. Prospective sisters going through it had opportunities to meet and talk with members of each sorority before decid- ing whether or not to pledge. Also this year, a winter quarter Formal Rush was held for the first time. Among their activities, Panhellenic Council sponsored a dinner honoring Rho Lambda initiates, young women cho- sen for recognition due to active participation in sorority events and promotion of good relations between sororities Friends, Greeks, countrymen . .

The council also conducted a Panhellenic workshop con- cerning the fall ' s Formal Rush, and collected baskets of food to distribute to needy families at Christmas. The coun- cil, in conjunction with the Interfraternity Council, also planned a Senior Day during spring quarter when high school seniors were given a chance to visit the university and learn about the sorority fraternity system. A big event for the group is the Southeastern Panhellenic Conference, this year held at the University of Florida in Gainesville, April 14-15. ETSU was represented by 10 soror- ity members, whose trip was financed by the Panhellenic Council. Spring 1977 competition for the Panhellenic Cup, given to the sorority with the best scholarship and service projects. saw an unusual three-way tie between Alpha Delta Pi, Kappa Delta, and Sigma Kappa. The average of the points made through judging by an impartial panel of judges of each sorority ' s philanthropic projects and grade point aver- age determines the award winner. The Interfraternity Council (IFC), the governing body of the national social fraternities on campus, met once a week during the year in coordinating fraternity activities, including fraternity rush. Formal Rush took place during the first nine days of each quarter with the council setting up times for each fra- ternity rush party in an effort to avoid schedule conflicts, and sometimes sponsoring a joint party for all fraternity brothers, rushees, and dates, to begin rush week. Rushees were asked to attend at least one party of i ' a h 3-Sorority sisters of Sigma Kappa chase a derbv-carr ing Sigma Chi brother during Derby Week. 4-AZD ' s, in their formal rush skit Godspell, try to convince rushees that their sorority is best. 5-Phi Mu ' s Sandi Boyd and Susan Patton in action preparing their Thanksgiving dinner for Project Hope.

Open rush took place between formal rush and the end of each quarter for those interested students who did not pledge during rush week. Besides coordinating rush, the IFC set dates for different fraternity and sorority group competitions, such as Derby Day, Pike ' s Peak, All-Sing, Snake Day, and Diamond Day. During the spring, the IFC sponsored a bean feed at the Johnson City Boys ' Club. Hot dogs, beans, potato chips, and ice cream were served the boys at the city club. The fraternity brothers also played games such as softball and basketball with them during the afternoon. A special need was met through a $300 donation by the IFC to the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity whose house burned during the first weeks of winter quarter, with the Council also coordinating a relief fund and collecting con- tributions of money and clothing from students, faculty bers, and local residents. Officers for 1978 were elected during winter quarter, with Butch Fortune elected president; Rick Black, vice-president; and Tony Eckel and Steve Best, secretary and treasurer, respectively. Creek activities during 1977-78 included a sorority com- petition, Derby Day, sponsored by Sigma Chi fraternity. Money is raised through the event for Sigma Chi ' s national philanthrophy, Wallace Village, which provides summer recreation for children with minimal brain damage, selling ads to local merchants for publication in their Derby Book. The Derby Book features an activity schedule for Derby Day competitions. Derby Week, held in early spring each year, involved some 10 events in which each sorority competed for points, with the group winning the most points being awarded the 228 Creeks t-Pres.

Climax of the week is the Derby Chase where sorority members try to catch Sigma Chi brothers wearing the coveted black derby hats. Each captured derby is worth points, with the sorority with the most points win- ning the events. A Derby Queen is crowned at the end of the week. Activ- ities in 1978 were coordinated by Ed Ayers, Derby Daddy. The 1977 Derby Day first place trophy was awarded to Sigma Kappa sorority, with Phi Mu and Alpha Delta Pi fin- ishing second and third, respectively. Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity sponsored the annual All- Sing competition in April 1978 for all fraternities and sorori- ties, based on the theme of Walking Down Memory Lane. The 1977 All-Sing theme of Songs of the South was fol- lowed in large and small group competitions for each Greek group, with winners being Sigma Phi Epsilon in men ' s large group, Sigma Chi in men ' s small group, and Kappa Delta in both women ' s large and small group. Each spring features Snake Day , a sorority competition sponsored by Sigma Nu fraternity. The May 1978 com- petition involved sign, spirit, and outdoor relay events, in addition to a scavenger hunt. The 1977 first place trophy for Snake Day was presented to Phi Mu sorority for the second year in a row, with Alpha Delta Pi and Alpha Omicron Pi coming in second and third, respectively. Each sorority and fraternity also stayed busy throughout the year with individual projects and activities. During winter quarter. Delta Zeta sorority kidnapped ETSU President Arthur DeRosier and the president or repre- sentative from each fraternit y, and held them for ransom, allowing each one call to arrange bail. Each fraternity was asked to pay whatever they thought Creeks 229 their brother was worth, while DeRosier called his wife for help. Some $1S() was raised through the effort. For Valentine ' s Day, the DZ sisters sold Valentine-O- Grams, personally delivering them to the recipients in dor- mitory rooms or through the campus postal system. Pi Kappa Phi, hindered by a rose shortage in mid-Febru- ary which prevented their annual Valentine rose-selling project, came through with a candy sale instead. Money raised went toward their national philantrophy— the design and installation of playground equipment for the blind, deaf, and mentally retarded. They also presented U.S. Sena- tor Howard Baker, a Pi Kappa Phi Alumnus, with a specially designed fraternity jacket during his visit to the campus in February. Kappa Alpha fraternity brothers got some back-breaking work when they hired themselves out to raise money for the fraternity during the winter quarter. The KA ' s were also responsible for the colorful Old South celebration, a time in spring when the brothers dress in Confederate uniforms, have a Rebel troops parade, and sponsor an Old South dance as celebration and commemoration of the group ' s Southern heritage and spiritual founder, Robert E. Lee. Phi Mu sorority cooked a big Thanksgiving dinner during fall quarter and sold tickets for it, using money earned as a donation to Project Hope. During winter quarter, they again put their cooking skills together and gave Sigma Alpha Epsi- lon fraternity a dinner, in addition to a check to help cover costs incurred from the loss of the group ' s house. 230 Creeks am 1 -)oe Valentine, lean McKee, and Dr. De- Rosier (left to right) peruse the Pi Kappa Al- pha scrap book. 2-SAE little sister ludy Baldwin talks with a child during a Christ- mas party given for the benefit of needy children. 3-)eanie Scarecrow Henderson dances along the AOPi Rainbow at a rush theme party. 4-Sigma Kappa card sharks Teddie Wilson and Ann Nick try to outsmart Mountain Home veterans in rummy. 5- Keith Clark escorts Billie Smith through the guard of Kappa Alphas during Old South activities. 6-DZ sisters, Coleen Willard and Tern Rosenbalm, watch as their big brother.

The 1977-78 year thus continued the proud Greek tradi- tions at ETSU as all sororities and fraternities maintained their involvement in numerous campus, local, and national activities, as illustrated above, and each continued to up- hold their reputations as valuable assets to the university community.

White, Student Govern- ment President. 2. Barry L. Blair, Stu- dent Government Vice-President. The 1977-78 Student Government Associa- tion (SCA) started with new hopes and ideas in a concentrated program aimed toward achieving better representation of the ETSU student body. Penny White, Barry Blair, and Annette Stout campaigned together in the SGA elections in the spring of 1977 on a positional platform that emphasized increased student activity, greater school spirit, and closer campus coop- eration. The theme of improving student life in all phases of the college experience was con- tinually emphasized as a complement to the then new DeRosier administration policies which also stressed increased student activity and involvement. Beginning their work early in the summer of 1977, the SGA was ready for students return- ing in September, greeting them with contin- ual encouragement of student involvement and school spirit, and initiated open question- and-answer sessions between school officials and students as a way of bettering communication. The first major achievement of the White administration came in the re-organization of the House of Representatives, a representative body for campus organizations with the pur- pose of encouraging student input and ■nas i IX Ann participation. A major test of the fledgling group came in late October with Homecoming activities. The full slate of events carried out under SGA supervision left good remembrances of the week for most students and alumni, and involved numerous and varied organizations and student groups throughout the campus community. The Student Senate also felt the new stu- dent involvement emphasis and quickly re- established itself as a collective force within the governmental structure. The senators, most of whom were also elected in the spring 1977 elections, in- troduced numerous pieces of legislation in- tended to improve the general welfare of the university community and student body. Led by President Pro-Tempore Greg Mor- rell, the senators became involved in many is- sues relative to student life. Registration was an especially strong issue early in the fall of 1977 with several bills dealing with scheduling problems and the drop-add policy being in- troduced and acted upon. 3. K.

For members of the 1977-78 Buccaneer yearbook staff, relief came in mid-March as the last deadline was met and final pages sent off. Editor Tom Bayless was probably the most relieved mem- ber of the staff after worrying with pictures, copy, layouts, staff, and money problems the entire year. The 1977-78 staff had definite disadvantages in having little previous collegiate yearbook experience, but necessity became the mother of invention as novices quickly became old pros at yearbook tasks. The switching to a new company, Herff Jones of Mont- gomery, Ala., presented some conversion problems, but time and staffing emerged as the main continuous headaches. Different approaches and ideas about everything in ETSU ' s yearbook were considered and discussed before fi- nal decisions of total content. A desire by Bayless and man- 1— Tom Bayless, Editor. aging editor Joe Thompson to emphasize a magazine style layout in place of the often-times-used pictorial lay- out created a necessity for good pictures and extensive copy not encountered before. Often were the questions from workers and observers. Why do you need a story for the yearbook? The change to magazine style represents a definite trend in collegiate yearbooks today, a change that emphasizes timeliness and permanency of the book, providing not only a pictorial essay of the year but also a written account of happenings, personalities, and current events. The purpose of the change is to emphasize the yearbook as a lifetime in- vestment to which one will refer and enjoy for years to come rather than the traditional yearbook flip-through. Yes, March definitely brought relief. Now, if all the staff can just catch up on all the studying they missed .... 302 Buccaneer 2-Don Carter, University Director and Buccaneer adviser.

Athletes in their own right, the cheerleaders served as spirit coordinators for various university functions during the year, traveling to numerous athletic events to lend vocal and spiritual support to Buccaneer ath- letic teams. Other activities of the squad during the year in- cluded conducting a pep rally during Blue ' n Gold Week at the Miracle Mall in Johnson City, distributing bumper stickers and football schedules upon in- vitation of the Downtown Merchants Association, serving as hosts and hostesses for several Pirate Club events, and coordinating spirit activities during Home- coming week. The squad also performed at area elementary schools throughout the school year, in addition to en- tertaining at a Sonny and Share reception sponsored by United American Bank. 1-(left to rig ht) Dee Dee Spangler, Gary Pend- ergast, Teresa Aiello, Buddy Stuart, Cathy Mul- lins, Scoti Smith, Ginger Neally, Greg Harris, Jean Osborne, Carl Neal.

In Memoriam GO placidly amid the noisf and haste, and remember what peace there niay be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and c learly; and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant; they too have their story. AVOID loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you com- pare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. KEEP interested in your own career, how- ever humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise c aution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickerv ' . But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life . f full of heroism. BE yourself. Especially, do not feign af- fection. Neither be cyni al about love; for Holley Mobley Robert DeYoung Charles Norman J-lQ ' Memoriam William M. Beasley David M.

Take kindly the counsel of the years, grace- fully surrendering the things of youth Nu- ture strength of spirit to shield you in sud- den misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fa- tigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. YOU are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether  r not it is dear to you, no doubt the universe is un- folding as it should.

What a year! It was a 12-month period when a new president gave immediate, startling, and somewhat unpredictable impetus to changes in administrative structure, academic priorities, athletic emphasis, and student positions on campus. It was a year when campus and community sentiment begin to gell in widespread university support as the open- ing of Memorial Center and new public relations ' efforts brought area residents to campus in heretofore unheard-of numbers. It was a year when athletics became big-time as bas- ketball became a championship program, cross country gained national recognition, and riflery finished high nation- ally, while new emphasis was also given to possible South- ern Conference membership. It was a year when women ' s sports grew up, losing a rookie image in initiation of major sports programs. 394 Closing I : - 4-AII eyes are on the ball during intra- mural billiard competition. 5-Gayle Sykes (19) and Brenda Starnes (31 ) await the serve in women ' s volleyball action. 6-A helicopter lowers materials to workmen during repair of the Memorial Center roof in the summer of 1977. Closing 395 It was a year when change in athletics came in heaping spoonfuls as football coaches resigned or were replaced in favor of new and hopefully winning staffs, and baseball for- tunes were completely redirected under a new staff. It was a year when academics took major new directions as faculty became aware of a seeming publish or perish attitude and research became the byword of job stability, and students began to realize definite trends toward tougher and more quality-conscious a cademic approaches. It was a year when medical school fortunes were materi- alized in actual construction and change as faculty and staff prepared for the first class of students in the fall of 1978. It was a year when alumni and local support could an- nounce support of the university with new-found pride, a change shown by large increases in giving and better atten- dance and response at university-sponsored activities. 1— Lisa Wyati (facing camera) begins to wonder if she will really fit in an AOPi car-stuffing event. 2-Scott Place (32) goes high in trying to tip the ball to teammate Cat Watson (22). 3- After a while, it ' s easier to just stop a minute and rest. 4— Bob Sisk plays a very convincing Santa Claus to one little girl in the Pi Kappa Alpha-Sigma Kappa Christmas party for needy children. 3% ao5lng 5-Breath-taking beauty emerges from the harsh snows of winter. b-Varied ac- tions and interests are ot)served in this ( lassroom scene. 7-Tosslng of lighted batons forms a part of the loco Motion Circus performance in the Rathskellar. 8-Sen.

ETSU changes. Perpetual changes. Life is to be found only by those vigilant individuals that attempt to answer their own enigmas, for those who are not intimidated by continual change which gradually pushes one generation to the side so another can begin anew. A dream itself is but a shadow, but a shadow must be cast by something substantial. The individual cannot retard the changes which affect macrocosmi life and microcosmi lives. Changes resultant from forces basically inexplicable as to causation or termi- nation, whether in nature or emotions or elsewhere, cannot be wholly comprehended. There are simply changes, per- petual changes. East Tennessee State is in change. You are changing. Per- petual changes. 398 Closing Closing 399 Ex Parte Dear Reader, The past four years I have travelled and photographed extensively with the Buccaneer in mind. Working my first two years as graphic arts coordinator and sports editor, in addition to my photography, gave me no real concept of the hardships in producing a 400-page book that recorded the history of the past year at ETSU. Experience is always the best, although not always the cheapest, educator. For the Buccaneer and staff the year got off to a rocky start. The entire staff worked hard to shake off its rookie status quickly. In addition, I had set my goals high in order to create a work of journalistic and photographic art that at- tempted to accurately depict students and ETSU. Keeping in the back of my mind that the Buccaneer is for the stu- dents, I persevered to create an annual that alumni and community could identify with, in addition to students. The Buccaneer is intended to be of the quality needed to be utilized as a public relations ' publication for distribution to the community. Another area of major difficulty was photography. Until this year, the Buccaneer has not had its own staff of pho- tographers. Organizing enough photographers that had had no previous yearbook experience and continually stressing quality was indeed a difficult task, although I must thank Alan Broyles, Mike Snapp, Wayne McMeans, and James Dillard for putting up with the incessant demands I made. I would also thank the University Relations ' Photo Lab for the use of its facilities and supplies. Mr. Thomas N. Daniel also deserves a special thanks for the beautiful professional color photography of the Miss Buccaneer beauty pageant winners. In addition, I thank him for the four years of moral support and education that he gave freely and that I re- ceived gratefully. The reason for the tremendous amount of writing in this year ' s Buccaneer (as compared to any of the previous year ' s editions) is simple: a picture is not always worth a thousand words. A story will always complement the best photograph. It would have been impossible to achieve the task of extensive reporting without my right-hand-man, Joe Thompson. Joe did an outstanding job of coordinating a staff of writers that also had little reporting experience. Somehow, Joe managed to edit (and add to) each piece of written work. Enough gratitude could not be emphasized here for a job well done. A yearbook is for students. With the 5,700 copies to be distributed of this edition, there will be many complaints and praises. Praises are always good to hear, but construc- tive criticism to either the outgoing or incoming staff is the best manner to continually improve for quality ' s sake. Let the people responsible for the publication know what you think about the product. We have tried to improve the im- age of the book with tremendous changes and our empha- sis on change at ETSU. The suggested new Buccaneer sym- bol shown on this page is indicative of this change, but change is effective only when given support. So, support the annual-join the staff! After many continuous sleepless nights working in the of- fice to complete the materials for the final deadline, relief was replaced by anticipation of seeing the final result. I be- lieve the Buccaneer 1978 is something for everyone at East Tennessee State to be proud of. Graphic design by Chad Young Sincerely, Thomas H. Bay less II Editor-in-Chief 400 Closing i r I
