It was dark when I stepped onto the campus sidewalk. I became mesmerized by the mystical picture before me: morning had broken and dawn was blooming atop the Fine Arts Building. At that v ery moment I was glad I was at Fairmont State College, but, more than that, I was glad I was in West Virginia. 15559 9 ! m j k  V 3S- is A«tei? Memories make West Virginia ' West Virginia ' I remember when I was only three and would walk down a little narrow path that linked our home in Clarksburg to a grape arbor and raspberry orchard out back. In the summer when the path was dusty, I ' d stomp in the dry earth and send small clouds of dust into the air only inches from the ground. Some of the dust would rest on the tops of my feet and on my legs. The dirt felt so good: I ' d wiggle my toes to allow the cold earth to seep up between them. The sensation made me smile then. Upon reaching the.arbor and orchard, I ' d stuff as many grapes and raspberries into my little mouth as I possibly could. They tasted so good: I ' d eat until I didn ' t think I ' d ever eat again. And, then, with stained purple hands and fingers, dusty brown legs and feet, and a protruding aching belly, I ' d trudge back up the path to the house. After I got near our home, I ' d hide from my mother because I had eaten her fruits for jellies and had gotten terribly dirty. Somehow, she never seemed to mind when she found me. Now I realize it was a very natural thing and she never punished me for living and learning those natural things. She ' s a West Virginia lady. Now whenever I go home in the summer, I usually take a few private moments to walk barefoot down that quiet dusty path. I even smile when I stop to cool my toes in the dirt. The arbor and orchard are gone now, but my memories still linger. I close my eyes on the sites of those precious thoughts and I can still taste their splendor. I was only twenty-two when I remembered a living experience from the age of three. OPPOSITE PAGE: A Fairmont family enjoys the summer Bluegrass festival.

Being a ' mountaineer ' has its heartaches, too When I was a little girl, my dad would pile us in the car every Sunday and we would take a drive — nowhere in particular, just a drive. Somehow we would always wind up passing through the small coal camps that dot southern West Virginia. Places like Bud, Herndon, Ameagle and Helen were as much a part of my life as the hills that overshadowed them. Dingy, grimy, run- down and at times ghostly, they spoke of the rough and sometimes dangerous life around mines. My dad is a coal miner — not a radical who jumps at the chance to strike — a man who just wants to work and provide for his family. He goes down into that dark hole five days a week so we can eat. When I was little, I never really thought too much about it. I never realized the dangers he faced, not until the day the phone rang and my mother cried. It was one of the things a miner always dreads — a slate fall. And, my father was hurt. Life goes on and so do the mines. My father ' s still working there, although he doesn ' t walk as straight as he used to, and he doesn ' t breathe too well. I ' m glad he made a way so that neither my brother nor I would have to worry about the mines. I only wish he didn ' t have to. 1uUL iAoJuaA OPPOSITE PAGE: TOP: A West Virginia night scene.

Yet the state of West Virginia doesn ' t. A progressive attitude in the Mountain State is giving the land of bare feet new hope. Rich in natural resources, West Virginia is growing by leaps and bounds. This new hope is seen from the beautiful capital city of Charleston to the coal mining towns in Boone County, from the tri-city metropolitan area of central West Virginia to the untouched Monongahela National Forest. Rivers, such as the South Branch of the Potomac and the New River, run wild and free while others, like the Ohio, Kanawha and the Monongahela, carry materials to industrial hubs across the United States. Country roads carry the people along mountain ridges to rendezvous with nature while modern interstates make movement between the state ' s largest cities fast and easy. Mountain women still hold quilting bees to manufacture age old products while large factories turn out goods used around the world. West Virginia — a land of ancient beauty and yet the hope of the future. The beauty of the Mountain Qtate: ' God has been good to us . . . ' When I was 1 4, 1 had spent the majority of my summers on my grandmother ' s farm, tucked in a fertile West Virginia valley bordered by enormously tall hills. Those days were filled with laughter and enchantment as I wandered those hills, exploring and discovering the bountiful gifts of nature. I remember running to my grandmother with tales of the fantastic beauties I had seen. The look in her eyes fascinated me as she swung on her old yellow porch swing and listened to my tales. She would just smile and say God has been good to us. We are fortunate to live our lives in such beauty. It never occurred to me, at 1 4, that she was a bit wrong; I just kept exploring. When I turned 1 6, my attitude began to change. The summer evenings were a little too quiet, the sounds of nature a little mundane and West Virginia a little too boring. The hills that had always been an endless adventure were now a trap. As I passed a football in the yard, my grandmother would sit in the swing and crochet and I would think back to an earlier time when she would say God has been good to us. We are fortunate to live our lives in such beauty. There ' s a lot more out there, I thought, that must be more impressive.

OPPOSITE PAGE: TOP: Morrow Hall — women ' s dormitory — from the rear. BOTTOM: Pence Hall in autumn. When I became 1 9, 1 found myself in a tiny apartment in the city. I walked on concrete sidewalks, but dreamed of the footpaths through the hills ... I slept to the constant music of the traffic tieups, but I still heard the gentle summer rains. I walked the streets in the shadow of towering steel and glass buildings and inhaled the soot and fumes, but I concentrated on the smell of an October morning when the trees had turned the countryside into a patchwork quilt. Then I remembered my grandmother sitting on that swing, listening to the early evening sounds, crocheting and saying, God has been good to us. We are fortunate to live our lives in such beauty. The hills called me home. When I turned 22, 1 sat alone on the yellow swing, listening to the frogs in the distant dusk. I watched my nephew run down from the hill carrying a baby bird that had fallen from its nest. As he breathlessly told me about the act of nature he had witnessed, I saw a look in his eyes that took me back a few years. God has been good to us . . . I thought. Mike, I said, enjoy it. Mountains don ' t always bring love at first sight It never occurred to me until recently that I could fall in love with a state. I never believed that West Virginia would mean any more to me than just being the home of my parents. As a matter of fact, when I moved to the mountainous terrain in scenic Tucker County at the age of 1 4, 1 hated it. I hated living in a town that was enclosed by hillside heaped upon hillside. I hated knowing that, no matter where I rode in a car, I would be carsick before I ever got there. But mostly, I hated not being able to see the sun rise or set beyond the ' true ' horizon; the mountains got in my way. Then I began catching myself enjoying the shelter that the strong mountains provided. I witnessed a kaleidoscope of autumn colors being unveiled in front of my eyes and each year the spectrum became more alive. Winter blues became enchanting artwork. Spring was no longer a ' rebirth ' but simply a changing of the artist ' s palette hues. And I enjoyed being able to take jeep rides along abandoned canyon rim roads, gazing for hours through deep green mountain-side forests at rocky, virgin streams in the gorge. There was always some place to go to be alone, and the going was never too far away. I learned to appreciate beauty I found in abandoned barns, weather-worn rail fences and wrinkled hillbilly faces. I ' ll always love West Virginia. I have roots here. I grew here. I fell in love here and am loved here. I have to love West Virginia because she has loved me. TOP: Rear view of Fine Arts Building.

West Virginia folklore: The supernatural is the source for tales We were coming back from a concert in Charleston one foggy night on a narrow mountainous road outside of Montgomery near a place called Deep Water. We never knew its real name, but that night we jokingly dubbed it the Twilight Zone ' because of its It was pitch black outside, and the fog-shrouded trees loomed over us like bony fingers, just waiting to grab us. Not a sound could be heard, except an occasional cricket, and I pushed the accelerator as hard as I dared on the tortuous road. Funny, said one of my companions, I never noticed how deserted this stretch of road was before. It was then that we all suddenly realized that not a trace of civilization had been seen for the past twenty minutes. The fog outside pressed against the straining car as we wound our way around the mountain, hardly daring to breathe. I strained to see what lay ahead, but the fog was too thick. H-H- How much farther to Oak Hill? someone whispered. We all shrugged helplessly, mesmerized by the fog and the dark, all track of time lost. Hey! is that a light up ahead? someone suddenly cried. We all peered through the windshield. Sure enough, there was a light in the bend of the road. Civilization at last! Well, I ' ll be — it ' s just a pop machine, I said as we drew nearer. Just a tiny pop machine outside of a run-down, dingy gas station. But to us, it was almost home — - we had survived the Twilight Zone. s i: ' ' jsK T - - fl ■ x ; e «3 Montani semper liberi Montani semper liberi. West Virginia ' s state motto translated into English from Latin means mountaineers are always free. The freedom flows in the mountaineers ' blood and shows on their faces. Mountaineers are friendly, down-home people, who lend a hand when it is needed. They even smile afterwards and shove the dollars back into their rescued friends ' pockets if the money ' s offered.

' Hie. : k .jfr 11 13 3 •sra u l J A yfc iX u ' Redneck, redneck ' : The worst thing you can call another is . The worst thing you can call another person is not a series of four letter expletives, nor is it anything to do with the person ' s parentage. The worst thing you can call another is a redneck. Most people not familiar with West Virginia seem to think that every person living in the Mountain State has redneck tendencies. I was visiting in Pennsylvania last summer and got into an enlightening discussion with one of the natives. You-all from West Virginny, are ya? the native asked as he smiled and stuck a wad of tobacco in his jaw. I was down there onced, but there was too damn many rednecks, so I just come on home. I smiled politely and tried to move away with as much dignity as I could muster. I said something cute about having to look for some good copper tubing for my still and tried to hurry away. I ' m glad to see that you people finally got some sense and elected a person with some breeding and education to be you-all ' s governor, he said while picking his teeth with a straw he had pulled from his hat. Jay looks like he ' s going to do a lot for your state, he went on. He just might pave your roads and build you decent schools. voted for Udall myself. At this point, I politely excused myself, telling him that my moonshine was running all over the back woods and I had to go find my copper tubing. One more thing, he yelled, where you from in West Virginny? Clarksburg, I answered. Do you live around here? Hell, no, I ' m just visiting. I ' m from Philadelphia. I smiled and hurried off. I don ' t like being around the natives when they are restless or on vacation. ' ? + t I smiled again and muttered something about Gov. Rockefeller signing into law a bill to sow grass on all state and privately supported cow paths. I told you that Jay was on the ball, he grinned, showing his throat through his gaping green teeth. I wish the rest of the country would show your sense and get that redneck from Georgia out of the White House. I TOP: The Ad. Building in winter. BELOW: Leita Calocia enjoys a football game.

Statistics and other interesting phenomena: Did you know that the world ' s longest steel-arch bridge is in West Virginia? West Virginia has the world ' s longest steel-arch bridge, the New River Gorge Bridge near Fayetteville spanning 1 ,700 feet across the New River. The geographic center of the state is four miles east of Sutton in Braxton County. West Virginia ' s highest point is Spruce Knob at 4,863 feet, while the Potomac River is its lowest at 240 feet. The largest lake in the state is the man-made Summersville Lake, which measures four square miles in area with a 65-mile shoreline and a maximum depth of 267 feet. The three national forests in the Mountain State are the George Washington, the Jefferson and the Monongahela. West Virginia is the only state located entirely within the Appalachian Mountains. The state ' s ten largest cities in order of population are Huntington, Charleston, Wheeling, Parkersburg, Morgantown, Weirton, Fairmont, Clarksburg, Beckley, and Bluefield. The total population of the state from a July 1 , 1 975, census is 1 ,803,000. You look up at ' If . You stand at the bottom of the New River Gorge in a little place in the road called Fayette Station, and you look up at It. A feeling of awe and wonder passes through you, and perhaps even a touch of fear. It is the New River Gorge Bridge — a man- made marvel, towering over the New River like a pagan idol. Tons of steel and gallons of sweat and blood went into its making, a dream many called impossible. On Sundays, wide-eyed tourists in the ir big fancy cars travel the tortuous road just to get a glimpse of It and maybe a picture or two. Natives to the area shake their heads in amazement, wondering what all the fuss is about. But, secretly, they stare at It in wonder, too. And, the majestic New River, untouched by man, continues to roar beneath it. Perhaps there are some things that shouldn ' t be changed. Nature sings the praises of springtime in West Virginia It was springtime in West Virginia when I strolled through a crocus- covered meadow and thought of the dandelions that would be there in the summer. I liked the crocuses and springtime better. ,„. ;: ' . ■■ ' ;• ' % . ABOVE LEFT: Falcon Rod Lambert waits his turn on the bench.

The cautious cardinal chirped loudly on that day and, sure, he ' d still be singing in July, but he seemed louder in March when the tormentingly cruel winter had finally ceded to spring an d the fittest had survived. Even the dogwood blossoms seemed most beautiful then. In October, when West Virginia ' s hillsides become autumn ' s canvas and explode into hues of yellow, orange, red and brown, I still remember spring ' s reds and yellows and blues and whites and greens topped by a fresh breeze. West Virginia in January is a winter wonderland with her crisp, fresh, minty air, but the warmth of the sun in April is more inviting. Springtime in West Virginia is freshly thawed streams running cool and wild, the mighty black bear retreating from his winter snooze, and the towering sugar maple donning unfaded green leaves — all returning to life. Nature sings the praises of springtime in West Virginia.

Classes were longer, professors were more difficult, assignments were larger and the activities on campus were closer, had more variation and were better received. Mary Anne Swiger, Jeanne Butler, Debbie Sokolowski, Tim Collins and Rod Kuhn headed Student Government and sponsored, among other activities, dime nights, a walk-in drive-in movie, a bluegrass festival, an oldie movie marathon and ice cream social, and a special showing of Young Frankenstein. The Town and Gown players presented Arsenic and Old Lace and the musical, Ben Franklin in Paris. With such diverse and frequent activities, students enrolled in summer classes exhibited an unusually overwhelming response to both Student Government and Town and Gown events. m z ' ■ ....

Summer School Masquers ' Town and Gown Players: 1 940 B roadway hit opens summer season Arsenic and Old Lace was presented as the Masquers ' Town and Gown Players ' first play of the ' 76 summer season. Both FSC students and townspeople comprised the cast of this lighthearted comedy directed by Daniel K. Weber. Joseph Kesselring set his play in the Brewster home in the early 1 940 ' s. Billie Reed and Iris Bressler portrayed the Brewster sisters who have a very unusual hobby: they poison lonely old men. The play opened on Broadway Jan. 10, 1 941 , and had a record-breaking run.

Freshman orientation: Counselors, frosh and Qtump ' party hardy ' Numerous social events highlighted FSC ' s 109th freshman orientation. Dances, exhibits, a picnic and a series of Almost Anything Goes games were among activities planned by 63 counselors and student affairs coordinators: Michelle Stump, William Julian, Ann Lester and Blair Montgomery. What a week it was! It began on Sunday, Aug. 22, when freshmen arrived. They arranged their schedules Monday and tended to other mandatory college tasks, such as getting ID pictures taken and meeting with academic advisers. Counselors were prepared to answer questions, conduct tours, help new residents unload their baggage and enlighten them about study and party habits.

Football 55 The Falcon squad, as a whole, rushed for their most yards in a game (330) against Wesleyan, and passed for their most yards ( 1 68) against Shepherd. In total offense, the Falcons racked up 474 total yards in the effort against Wesleyan. Blair, a 6-1 freshman safety from Ravenswood, broke a conference record in Fairmont ' s 1 0-6 win over Concord ' s Mountain Lions. The first-year player topped the conference record for pass interceptions during a single season by making his total seven on the year during that game. Freshman Dave Tomassi led the Falcons in scoring with 25. The kicker booted 1 3 of 1 4 extra points, and four of ten field goal tries. Fairmont ' s opponents led in every statistic except in first downs by passing (42-32), first downs by penalties (1 1-3), passing yards ( 1 076-824), and passing yards per game (107.6-82.4). Two costly statistics in which the Falcons led were fumbles (35-32), and fumbles lost, (21-16).

I think that Ellen Revels and Sue Burns were possibly the best players on the team this year, Coach Marilyn Neptune stated. However, all the freshmen advanced pretty well through the season. Tournament action proved to be more hazardous than regular season when the Falconettes lost the first match to Morris Harvey 10-13, 1 6-1 3 and 17-15. Then the WVU team won two at 1 5-14 and 1 5-2. Concord finished off the Maroon and White 15-6 and 15-3. Concord ended up winning the state championship and WVU finished second, Neptune stressed. We were just unlucky to draw both of them.

We ' re in a tough conference, said Falcon basketball coach Joe Retton at the annual press luncheon. And he was right. The Falcons opened their campaign with wins in the traditional Falcon style, but as the season advanced, so did the problems. First there was the weather — that horrible winter of 77 that will long be remembered. Then there was the WVIAC tournaments. The Falcons started the week of contests as expected with a close 56-48 victory over the W. Va. Tech Golden Bears. But semi-final rounds paired Retton ' s squad with a tough Wesleyan team that came up with a last-second shot to upset the favored Falcons in a nail-biting 67- 66 decision. And then the consolation game with Glenville State brought them their second loss in a row at the tournament. The Falcons, however, came up with two out of three wins needed against the Bobcats to determine who would represent the conference in Kansas City. The Fairmont squad won the first playoff game at the Armory and continued by defeating the Bobcats on their own court in Buckhannon. The Falcons went to K.C. again, but it was the same sad story . . . ABOVE: Moore goes up for two against Bluefield at the West Virginia University Coliseum.

Basketball 69 Falcons lose at tourney For the first time since many students could remember, the Falcon roundballers did not bring home the WVIAC tournament championship trophy in 1 977. The title was claimed by the West Virginia Wesleyan Bobcats after they upset the Falcons in semi-final action. The Retton five failed to come back in the consolation game and, without the help of Jumping Jim Johnston, lost to the Glenville State College Pioneers.

Falcon senior Dave Moore concluded his four-year career with the Falcons by being named to a pair of National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics All-American teams. The 6-2 guard from Akron was named to ' Basketball Weekly ' s ' first NAIA All- American team for 1 977. In addition to being selected to the second of the 1976-77 NAIA All-America Basketball teams. Moore was chosen to the NAIA team for the second straight year, after leading the Falcons in scoring in 1 977 with a 20.7 average, fourth position among career scoring leaders for the Falcons with 2,254 points. Moore led the Falcons to a 21-5 season record and to their fifth straight trip to Kansas City and the NAIA tournaments.

But the Emporia State team of Kansas was not one of them. The Falcons started the night in anything but a good showing, and things didn ' t get any better. All five starters — Moore, Johnston, Brownlee, Carr and Austin — fouled out of the game, leaving things in the hands of substitutes.

The increase will provide better representation for a steadily increasing student body. Previously, each representative represented, along with the various class officers, 25 per cent of the students. With the passing of the amendment, the figure dropped to 1 6 per cent as it became effective immediately. A list of candidates for the posts was on the ballot. Depending upon the outcome of the election for or against the amendment, the top four or six vote-getters would fill the vacant seats.

At FSC fraternal organizations make up less than ten per cent of the enrollment, but their involvement makes them much more visible. The Inter-Panhellenic Council, the united body of all campus fraternities and sororities, sponsored a mock kidnapping in the fall in order to raise money for the Marion County Rescue Squad. The kidnapping was carried out by abducting campus and local officials and requiring a ransom for their release.

The career of Wilson as Fairmont State ' s athletic director ended in January 77 when he began a new po- sition as a Marion County magistrate. Wilson was elected to the post in the November 76 elections. As a student at Fairmont, Wilson starred in football, basketball and baseball. In 1 939, Wilson returned to FSC as assistant coach to Jasper Colebank. In 1 940, he was advanced to head coach of the three sports in which he had starred. In 1 949 Squibb coached the Falcon basketball team to their first conference tourna- ment victory and, as the col- lege ' s athletic director since 1 952, has seen the Falcon basketball, football, swim and wrestling teams receive national attention. The Wilson era will long be remembered as one of the finest in the college ' s athletic history. And Squibb himself ill not easily be forgotten.

Moose and Da Sharks, a group specializing in early rock and roll music, provided entertainment for the event. Jeanne Butler, freshman counselor, offered entertainment in her own way. Having arrived at the dance chomping bubble gum and donning a tight white blouse, rolled-up, peg-legged jeans, bobby socks, and a pony tail, Butler kept the evening hopping.

Student Government is given a portion to provide activities that will reach the greatest number of students. During the 1 976-77 academic year, students were offered numerous big-name movies, lecturers such as Timothy Leary and Daniel Cohen, dances, coffee houses and variety entertainers like ' Dialogue ' and a pool exhibitionist.

All of the departments offer curricula for those students who want to obtain personal satisfaction through creative endeavors and professional careers in the arts and for those who wish to teach with specializations in art, drama, music or speech- communication. Students wanting to study art have two types of curricular options: a program of teacher preparation in the visual arts which leads to the B.A. degree in education or a minor program of study involving art history and studio courses for those who desire studying art while pursuing another major field. The department of music offers a major program of study, comprehensive music (K-l 2) which leads to the B.A. in education degree. A minor program is also offered. The music curriculum includes both theory and applied courses in voice, strings, brass, woodwinds, percussion, piano and organ, and provides students preparation for teaching positions in public, private and professional schools, as well as professional performing careers. The department of speech and drama aims to assist students in learning, understanding and effectively using the various forms of communication through public speaking, small group processes, theater, radio and television and through courses in speech correction and audiology. Several academic options are offered to students interested in oral communication. Programs for students who want to improve their communication skills, minor programs in speech and drama, and programs for those who plan to teach speech and drama in elementary and secondary schools are available. 32 Fine Arts OPPOSITE PAGE: David Davisson, drum major, directs the FSC Marching Band from atop a ladder.

Audio-visual aids, some of the many facilities available to students, faculty and all patrons, comprise an important portion of the library. These include records, filmstrips, sound films, and transparencies with viewing stations that allow pre-viewing before signing out.

I 40 Science and Mathematics I think the science and math division is a very close knit division of students and faculty. This environment is usually not obtained until graduate school, said Dr. Stephen Haynes, physics professor. Housed in Hunt-Haught Hall, the division consists of the biology, chemistry, geology, math, physical science and physics departments. In the biology department, students use a greenhouse on the fourth floor for plant physiology experiments. The greenhouse has translucent window panes to permit sunlight to enter. The average temperature in the house is 70-90 degrees. The thermostat can be set so that the windows will open when the temperature is above, for example, 85 degrees. The 65 degree office temperature does not affect the room because it is operated separately from the rest of the building and the sunlight keeps the room warm. For the past 1 years, Beta Beta Beta, biology honorary, and American Chemical Society for Student Affiliates for chemistry majors have had a traditional softball game in the fall. This year the game was held at Consolidated Park and the biology honorary won. In the Chemistry 1 06 class a traditional spring project has been to gather water samples in the area. Usually the students begin shortly after Christmas, but this year the water was frozen due to sub-zero temperatures, so the project had to be post-poned until the water thawed. In general, the water is getting much cleaner than years ago, stated Dr. Elizabeth Swiger, Chemistry Professor. Basically, we are doing the same thing we have done since we moved to Hunt-Haught Hall, stated Dr. James LaRue, math department coordinator. In the fall of 1976, Math 323, a third elementary math course, was added to the curriculum. One of the services offered to all students enrolled in math courses is tutoring. Upper division math students are available in the math seminar room, 320 HHH, to help any student requesting it. Students in the physics department study electronics, classical mechanics, and atomic and nuclear physics. In one experiment, a foucalt pendulum is used. The large pendulum is hung from the fourth floor to the first in the main stairwell. The students use it to measure the gravitational field of the earth. There are more elaborate foucalt pendulums at Buhl Planetarium in Pittsburgh, and at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C.

The Public Affairs program was developed for individuals interested in public service and administrative positions. Dr. Yu-San Wang, division chairman, published a book in 1 976 entitled THE INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS IN NUCLEAR AIDE. The book discusses elements of national power and projects the future development of international relations. Among activities sponsored by the division was an International Affairs Conference on Latin America and the October meeting of the West Virginia Political Science Association.

The enrollment has almost doubled and the director and staff have moved into a new building. The CCC has moved from the Mental Health Center to the old A P Building located on Pike St. The building was competely renovated during the 1 976-77 academic year. The CCC, directed by Robert Stemple, continues to provide low cost, qua lity higher education for North Central West Virginia. The Harrison County facility offers 31 fields in five major areas of study. Specializations have been constructed to meet regional commercial, industrial and community service needs. Areas of y J , J - y i study include allied health technology, business technology, engineering technology and general studies. The CCC encountered serious problems in March, 1 975. An attempt was made by the W.Va. Legislature to close the Center. Student and community support for the school was overwhelming as they united to support the institution. The legislation didn ' t pass and the Board of Regents dropped all discussion of the closing. The CCC is now planning its third year of service for the Clarksburg area.

Since a student ' s car is his private property, it can ' t be entered by a college official unless a search warrant has been authorized. Likewise, a student ' s dorm room cannot be searched. However, a dorm room can be entered in case of suspected fire or for maintenance matters. Like cars on campus, student-rented lockers are considered private property and may not be entered or searched by a college official. Gary L. Abel Paget D.

Headcount enrollment for all West Virginia public colleges and universities increased to 70,488 for the Fall 1 976. Fairmont State College remained the largest state college, with an enrollment of 5,1 45. The effects of the overcrowding are obvious: housing is limited; dorms are crowded; registration and pre- registration lines seem endless; and classes are filled.

ABOVE: Traffic on Locust Avenue and the main entrance to campus show a problem that developed immediately before the blizzard. RIGHT: A campus officer directs traffic between the Library and Hunt-Haught Hall after classes were cancelled on Feb. 28. BELOW: Winds were the primary factor of the blizzard. 8ub-zero temperatures — at record lows — came and stayed, but only a blizzard and a water crisis caused curtailment of classes Snow fell throughout the winter and temperatures dropped below zero. In all the surrounding counties classes were closed in public schools, but the FSC community enjoyed a short three-day-total class curtailment. One-half day was due to a blizzard on Jan. 28. Gov. Jay Rockefeller announced that West Virginia would experience a blizzard during the early afternoon hours. All state employees were ordered to leave their jobs and return home. At FSC, classes were dismissed at noon. The remaining two and one-half days are attributed to a water crisis in Fairmont. Due to a failure in the water system, causing broken water lines, a shortage of water occurred. A city ordinance was passed to help compensate the problem. Most area businesses, including restaurants, banks and stores, operated on a five-hour work day. The filtration plant ran four pumps at maximum capacity putting out about 10 million gallons of water each day. Flow was so critical that a fire truck was brought in to aid the situation.

COME TO WATSON ' S Ads, Index, and Organizations 213 Railroads, coal, farms are a part of the state It was 3 a.m. when the train ' s whistle startled me. After glancing at the clock, I rolled back over, pulled the blankets up tightly around my neck and resumed sleeping as soon as the locomotive sounds faded. The next day I kept remembering my pre-teen days when my brothers and I would walk miles down an abandoned train track that had weeds growing up between the crossties. The track was near my grandparents ' deserted 98-acre farm where coal machinery now called home. My late grandfather, although he was walking slower and becoming blind and deaf and had already passed his eightieth year, would go with us — my father, my mother, my three brothers and me. I always enjoyed how Grandpa would tell us that the kitchen was right over there and we had a bathroom next to that room, and, let me tell you, boys, there weren ' t too darn many homes with bathrooms in those days. I listened intently to those same stories over and over again, each and every occasion as if I had never heard them before, because I loved his tales and respected him. I knew his stories so well that I bet I could go to the farm right now and tell them just as he did a very short while ago. I think I will go there some day soon if only to try to remember or to learn and feel how he formed such an impression on me. I ' ll probably even at least mumble: That ' s where the pigs were kept and Dolores used to ride the pony right there. It ' s awfully nice that a dream, or whatever, could cause such a good, gut-feeling memory. MOUND 1977 Volume 67 Staff Editor-in-chief . .

There ' s just nothing to do a round here. When John Denver sang Almost Heaven, West Virginia he must have been on a Rocky Mountain High! After seeing King Kong for the eighth time, I decided I had to get out of this town. Someone said that we should go out to the falls to party, but that was getting as old as the CB Building. Someone else suggested we go to Blackwater Falls and party, but, if you ' ve seen one rock with water running over it, you ' ve seen them I thought about going to Snowshoe for a couple of days, but no one would go with me, because they couldn ' t party on the downhill slope. Finally, I decided to go to the pits of the state, Charleston, but, again, no one would venture with me, because they had partied there during the state tournaments. I finally got disgusted with the whole thing and packed my bags to go home. Being an out-of-state resident, I was thrilled at the idea of getting a change. Three days into my visit, I decided that maybe John Denver wasn ' t loaded after all. I began thinking of Valley Falls, the mountains and all the good times we had running around the state and I got home-away-from-home sick. I couldn ' t go back to West Virginia until that weekend, so, to pass the time, I conned my sister into taking me to a movie. I have now seen King Kong for the ninth time. It was a good thing I did; they had changed the movie at the Fairmont Theater. ABOVE: Sharon Singleton, student government secretary, acts as hostess at Blood Donor Day. And indeed, every mountain, every rock formation and every stream looks like the Almighty Creator hand-formed it Gary Jaws Connell enjoys half-time ceremonii As I drive through the mountains down modern country roads past ancient rivers, I think of the beauty of the hills. As Marion County flies by, the metropolitan area of north central West Virginia fades into the ecstasy of the mountains. Past the Stony River in Grant County and Patterson Creek in Mineral County, I hurry to the timeless world of the Monongahela National Forest. This is West Virginia at her finest. God ' s Country, the natives call it, and indeed, every mountain, every rock formation and every stream looks like the Almighty Creator hand-formed it. The beauty of the area at its prime creates an awe that no other site in America can match. Here lies Smoke Hole, a timeless, nature-drenched spot on the South Branch of the Potomac River. There is an area here called Big Bend that oozes with beauty. The passage to this time-forgotten place is down a steep mountain road, not unlike those often-times seen in comic strips. After inching down the mountain, travelers see a large rolling green field bordered on three sides by the river. From the far side of the turbulent fury, the mountains shoot straight up, defying man to attempt to conquer them. There is a respect that man has when he looks at the sight. God! he says, this is West Virginia. This awe continues into Smoke Hole. Looming over the towering mountains is Eagle Rock, the landmark that gave the area its name, for here the Seneca Indians smoked their game in the winter. As rustic as the area is, a Seneca scout standing atop the rock formations would draw little attention. The beauty of West Virginia — evident in the mountains, the rivers, the people and their lives.

Conclusion 219 • • • 220 Conclusion My car broke down once about two miles outside of Buckhannon. I momentarily felt stranded, until I remembered I was in West Virginia. I soon found myself walking in search of a home or a gas station where I could phone for help. As I trudged up the small — typical of the Mountain State — inclines and down again, I stopped at all the houses that were quite spread out across the hillsides. I finally found someone at home, an elderly woman who greeted me with a warm, friendly smile that I dare say can ' t be matched by any other state in the Union. The mountain woman . . . West Virginia ' s first lady front porch and swayed on a large green swing. I explained my purpose and she invited me into her antiquated home. After I made my calls and returned to the porch, the tiny old lady asked me to sit on the swing with her until my help arrived. The time passed swiftly: We talked for what seemed only seconds when a friend drove up in front of the little old house. except in thought which always incites a recurrent grin. People like this anonymous fine lady are mountain people and they can ' t be found anywhere else in the world — only in wild, wonderful West Virginia. I may never see her again, but the important thing is that I made friends with her. We made friends. In West Virginia friends don ' t have to be those we see every day. In an elegant, yet humble manner, she sat beautifully poised on her I left the lady ' s home with a smile that day and have never returned I love being a mountain people, too.

Conclusion 221 r I prefer a spelled-out West in an abbreviated West Va. I always abbreviate West Virginia with a spelled-out West and a shortened Va., because a woman in New York once asked me if West Virginia is a part of Virginia. I replied with a No, I am from West, by God, Virginia, not western Va. Instead of nicknaming our state ' the Switzerland of America, ' I think Switzerland should be called ' the West Virginia of Europe. ' If someone, upon learning of my homestate, asks me if I ' m a hillbilly I explain that a hillbilly is a mountain goat and since I ' m not a mountain goat, I don ' t consider myself a hillbilly. I am a West Virginian and a mountaineer. 222 Conclusion TOP LEFT: Stephanie Balhatchet waits in line to register for summer classes.
