MOUN The past year ' s events has made FSC a rise above the ordinary Excuse me. Is this Fairmont State College? Sure is. It doesn ' t look any differ- ent. Any different than what? Than any of the other col- leges I ' ve seen. Well, we surely think it ' s different. What makes you think so? For one thing, during 1982-83 unusual events have made us work harder to make this year a rise above the ordi- nary. What events? Take for instance the bud- get cuts. When students went to pay for their tuition, they found that the price had in- creased slightly. Many students found that they had to cut down any way they could to survive financially. Also, if em- ployees retired or quit, no re- placements were hired for them. Some of the trips taken by students in certain depart- ments had to be cancelled.

FRESHMEN LEARN first hand how to get acquainted with peo- ple. Opening 3 When revenue from state taxes didn ' t meet expectations, because of the nation ' s eco- nomic slump, the last week of the spring semester and the first summer term were sched- uled to be affected by severe budget cuts. To help relieve this critical situation, Student Government gave $50,000 to the college, by cancelling con- certs and other major activi- ties. That ' s pretty depressing. Yeah, but not all activities were cut. Even with Student Government giving the money to help pay current bills, many activities and some major pur- chases that benefitted students, like homecoming, guest speak- ers, dances, funding for a com- puter and a big screen TV, were made. Many of the Nickel activities were still held, such as the Halloween dance, Wednesday Night at the Nick- el, movies, and the annual above the ordinary beach party. Organizations kept in the spirit of things. Greeks still held rush, fund raisers, and their other activi- ties. Masguers sponsored pro- ductions, such as the Barter Theater and Outward Bound. Sports were still a ma- jor part of life at FSC. SENIOR BAND MEMBER Joe Oliverio awaits the signal that will begin the halftime show.

At the beginning of the spring term, students faced a shorter semester, but the se- mester stayed the same and so did the level of academic in- struction. No student suffered academically because of the cuts. Although the Clarksburg Center was cut greatly, the en- rollment was still at about the same level. Were students involved with other things besides bud- get cuts? Of course. Students got the chance to see the last episode of ' Mash, ' the most watched PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT, Kendra Stingo and John Fallon accompanied by Dr. Alice Moerk, professor of music, carry out this cliche through a practice session for the Cole Porter review. program in television history. Fads were still a part of every day living. ' E.T., ' the extrater- restrial became the new ' craze ' for children of all ages, and the fashion industry took on a new appearance with the Valley Girl Look. Is that all that happened during the course of the year? Well, that ' s about all of it, but you can take a look at a 1983 MOUND to find out more. You know, you ' re right. Right about what? Fairmont State is a rise above the ordinary. DR. STEPHEN SMIGOCKI ' S wa- ter color class takes a change of pace. Instead of the usual class- room, their class is held outdoors to do some painting. rise =A ris Student Life Okay, so how is Student Life a rise above the ordinary? Before one can appreciate the distinct changes, he has to look at the traditional activities and events that continually rise above the ordinary. I don ' t understand. Well, even though we always have Elderhostel, summer school, freshman orientation, Homecoming and graduation, the events had distinct changes. For instance, summer school was still held in 1982, but students couldn ' t use the college food service due to lack of funds, and the selection of the gueen and court went from two votings to one. As for graduation, no prominent personality was featured as guest speaker as in the past years. So how about the actual lives of students. How were they changed? ABC news broadcaster Max Robinson, former Pittsburgh Pi- rate Willie Stargell, and Washington Redskins offensive guard Mark May enlightened students with their unigue words of wis- dom in speaking engagements throughout the year . Were living conditions any different? Commuting students composed a large per cent of the enroll- ment with the remaining population residing in any one of the three campus dorms. To keep the football team together, Morgan Hall, off campus, was changed from a women ' s dorm to a men ' s dorm. Each day students confronted new situations and people. Brought together for whatever reasons, they made each minute count. Students gave whatever it took to make student life a rise above the ordinary. IT ' S GREAT to have friends. These students express what friendship means to them. ABOVE THE OR Student life 9 ROBIN WOODY, Homecoming queen 1981, and president Wen- dell Hardway await the arrival of the candidates. The students, the parade, the dance, the game gave FSC a taste of German culture Students got a taste of Ger- many for Homecoming week Oct. 12-16, with October- fest as the theme. The week ' s activities were kicked off with student govern- ment sponsored films on the medieval life. Octoberfest night, Oct. 13, was held in the Ballroom, fea- turing a German feast with roasted chicken, German pas- tries, root beer and apple ci- der. A dinner honoring the Homecoming gueen candi- dates was held in the Dining Hall on Tuesday. On Thursday a train of floats, bands, and Homecoming gueen candidates paraded down Fairmont Avenue, end- ing at the Mid-City Parking lot. Tying for first place in the float competition were Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity and Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority. I think the parade was the best one we ' ve had. Everything was well planned, but it could have been more fun if more people had participated, said Mary Jenkins, senior secondary edu- cation major.

Thursday evening after the parade, the band Tioux, set the beat for the Homecoming dance. The selection of the gueen was an entirely new process this year. Each organization placed a candidate in the com- petition. Then at the dance each candidate selected a cov- ered rose. The six finalists were those who had chosen a pink rose. The final voting on Friday was left up to the student body to choose the Homecoming gueen for 1982. 10 Homecoming PROPER ATTIRE is worn by Scott UNHAPPY WITH A CALL made Likens and Tina Ferrari at the by the referee, this player tries to Homecoming dance. persuade him to see it his way.

Homecoming was confus- ing for me this year. One min- ute I wasn ' t in competition; the next minute I was Homecom- ing queen. I must say it came as a shock. I think the best part was telling my family about it. I really have to be thankful for all my friends who gave me confi- dence and supported me, re- plied Miss Gregory, after be- ing asked about her nomination as the 1982 Home- coming queen. Homecoming week was drawn to a close on Saturday with the big game against W.V. State. The Falcon fans who left the game early missed the comeback in which FSC tri- umphed over the Yellow Jack- ets 25-21 to make Octoberfest a success.

In answer to this guestion, John Stewart, sophomore criminal justice major, said, I don ' t know where I ' d be, but I ' m glad I ' m here because I think the criminal justice pro- gram is the best in the state. Usually during the 1980 ' s, college-age students were thought to be between the ages 00-352-8079 1-AiRttQNT of 18 and 22. At Fairmont State, the average age in 1982 was 1 9 for freshmen and 25 for part-time students. The Fairmont State campus was dominated by West Virgin- ia residents. From this state came 95 percent of FSC ' s stu- dents. This wasn ' t surprising because the primary mission of the college was to serve the community, region, and state. The other five percent of the student body came from 21 other states and a number of foreign countries. I just want- ed to see what West Virginia was like and to travel to another part of the country, said Nan- cy Morgan, sophomore busi- ness administration major from San Antonio, Texas. The fall 1 982 enrollment was 5,210. Most students were full- time. Many of these students also managed to work 20 or more hours weekly while at- tending classes. Statistics showed that the ma- jor reason students attended Fairmont State was to obtain a college degree in one of the college ' s 52 degree programs in 2 1 different academic areas. The top three fields were com- merce, technology, and educa- tion. Paul Benedum, senior civ- il technology major, said, Fairmont State is an alterna- tive to unemployment and it ' s a road to better job opportuni- ties.

Seven groups of Elderhos- telers, elder adults on the move, lived in Prichard Hall for one week. They attended spe- cial non-credit classes and par- ticipated in after-hour events, including dances, swimming and a Night at the Races. DR. RICHARD WARDIAN, associ- ate professor of history, delivers a lecture to Elderhostelers. While the Elderhostelers were busy with their own plans, summer school students braved 90 degree weather to attend classes. Some came to renew teaching certificates, to graduate early or just to get ahead. I went so I would have light- er loads later on, Mary Bulka, English journalism major, re- marked. Due to cutbacks, approxi- mately 176 courses were of- fered, according to Dr. John Conaway, director of admis- sions. Summer school offered more than just classes, howev- er. Student Government spon- sored an ice cream social and the Nickel sold hotdogs for 25 cents each. On the sports spectrum, a summer tennis league was in action and Falcon Camp, for ages 8-12, was held both terms. Whether young or old, sum- mer school proved to be a time for learning and fun.

Freshman orientation was designed to give students a chance to become acguainted with the campus and each oth- er. Freshman orientation is a good opportunity to meet new people before you settle into a hectic schedule of classes, said Stephanie Shaffer, fresh- man journalism major. Blair Montgomery, assistant to the vice president for stu- dent affairs, and Michael Bel- mear, student affairs counselor, attempted to aid freshmen in this transitional period. Sixty- five student counselors assisted them in giving students their first impression of the college. Activities for the two-day event included meetings and recreation. Freshmen attended general meetings and listened STUDENTS LISTEN INTENT- LY as freshman counselor Sam Statler introduces campus life. to speeches. After registering, paying fees and receiving I.D. ' s, they attended adviser-advisee ses- sions. To provide relief at the end of a hectic day, freshmen danced the night away, spent an evening at the movies watching with Dudley Moore in Arthur and participated in group games. The first week of a new way of life provided many new ex- periences, including dorm life, commuting, making friends and most important, a sense of independence. Even after five days of walk- ing across, campus to find themselves in the wrong rooms, standing in lines for what seemed hours and drop- ping loads of books, freshmen settled in nicely. They had found a new home on the hill. COUNSELOR TOM FITZGIB- BONS aids arriving freshmen moving into Pence Hall. TRYING TO COOK for 2 fresh- men is a warming experience for these counselors.

Freshman orientation 19 People, groups and a belief help spread The Word Fairmont State had more than one Christian organiza- tion on campus. These organi- zations offered students the op- portunity to gather and study God ' s word, fellowship with other Christians and form life- changing beliefs. Such organizations as Baptist Campus Ministry, Navigators, Intervarsity Christian Fellow- ship, Christian Student Union, and Fellowship of Christian Athletes met on a weekly basis and were headed by church leaders or Fairmont State facul- ty. Each organization offered a different emphasis. BCM, a church-affiliated club, spon- sored such activities as snow skiing and several conferences and retreats and participated in nationally sponsored confer- ences. Navigators, an international organization led by public members, were widely known for their intense Biblical knowl- edge and held their meetings in private homes. Intervarsity, an international organization, met on campus and was led by Fairmont State faculty. This club presented Christian films to the students on a monthly basis and also sponsored an activity night in the Colebank gym. Christian Student Union, which met at the Wesley Foun- dation, not only had Bible study on a weekly basis, but was guite socially active. They sponsored retreats and also helped to send missionaries overseas. One such activity was the Rock-a-thon, in which students rocked in rocking chairs for a specified time in or- der to raise money. Finally, a new arrival on campus was the FCA, headed by faculty. Meeting on a week- ly basis, this organization con- sisted of athletes interested in Bible study and Christian fel- lowship. The goal of each of these or- ganizations is to give students an opportunity to express their religious beliefs. A SYMBOL of new beginning, the butterfly, represents Christian life.

Christians 21 Decisions, decisions . . . dorms or apartments? Dwelling in the right places Decisions, decisions, deci- sions . . . college students have to make so many. One of the most important decisions for students is deciding where to live. Most students are placed into two categories: dorm- dwellers and apartment-dwell- ers. How do students decide which they will become? Apartments and dormitories have both positive and nega- tive aspects. For instance: climbing the hills in the winter, walking three to four blocks in the rain, and having to get up earlier just to get to class on time. Do these disadvantages outweigh the advantages of do- ing what students want, when they want, no questions asked? What about quiet hours, locked doors and demerits? Would they be worth trading in a five-minute run to classes, not having to cook and clean, and friendships formed by living with 1 50 others in the dorms? For freshman physical edu- cation major Crystal Alt the main complaint about the dorms was the demerit system. For some students apartment life is great, but independence, freedom, fun and games aren ' t everything. Time is a major problem. There does not seem to be enough time for cleaning, studying, and watching sports or soaps on TV. It is hard to maintain self-discipline, and grades sometimes show it. Dormitories provide study rooms, something apartments do not have. They also provide the opportunity to be in the middle of things on campus, a THE PRONE POSITION seems to be the most comfortable for P.K. Williamson as he studies for a test. chance to get involved with others. I would recommend the dorm for anyone experiencing their first year at Fairmont State. It more or less forces you to meet people, remarked Tammy Klinkoski, sophomore accounting major. Apartments are great for that much needed privacy that dor- mitory living does not always allow. Also, stereos can be played until the neighbors complain, with no demerits. Dormitories provide security that sometimes is not available in an apartment. Not so with the dorms. For one flat rate, a good living, studying, and a safe en- vironment, the dorm is the place to live. Dormitories are a nice place to live for a year of get- ting acguainted with college. Apartment life forces you to grow up and be independent, commented Terri Boggs, soph- omore English journalism ma- jor. Individual students must make the choice, depending upon what they are looking for. They should weigh the odds. The decision is all theirs!

Hours of practice, straining muscles make Cheerleaders ache with spirit The life of a cheerleader is not always fun. It means bub- bling over with excitement even when things are not go- ing well, cheering to audiences of dead fans, and facing downpours of rain and freezing winds. Other than a strong set of vo- cal chords, cheerleading re- guires stamina, spirit and dedi- cation. Fourteen cheerleaders and a mascot built up these gualities through intense prac- tice. The cheerleaders carried out a routine at each practice session. They first practiced pyramids, then they had a schedule of stunts which were already set up. After these group activities, they broke up into pairs to practice their var- ious lifts. It all began on April 26, when approximately 30 peo- ple showed up for tryouts. There was a lot of pressure. You just go out there and be spirited and do your best. This year was especially sad for me because I won ' t try out again, A PERFECT SPLIT catch is per- formed by Rita Setliff and Todd Carey during a practice session in Colebank gym. commented captain Vicki Hughes, senior elementary education major. Skills in dance and gymnastics as well as cheering must be displayed at tryouts. This year ' s lineup, advised by Robyn Hines, physical edu- cation instructor, consisted of Vicki Hughes, captain; Todd Ernest, mascot; Laurie Schuetz, J.D. Hoover, Tonya McClung, Jack Gerdes, Rita Setliff, Mike Hill, Kim Asbury, Lisa Johnson, Lou Gallina, Micki Edens, Jack Tuttle, Rick Smith and Todd Carey. The hard work began in the summer camp at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. Here, they were awarded two spirit sticks, two blue ribbons, one red and one white ribbon. For each individual of the group, cheering had a special meaning. I like the close rela- tionships most, commented Tonya McClung, senior medi- cal records major. I like feel- ing involved and being behind the team, said Todd Carey, senior business major. The group ' s main goal was to win the NAIA conference cheerleading championship in Charleston.

Cheerleaders 25 The Columns And the Mound celebrate anniversaries SOCIETY OF COLLEGIATE JOURNALIST president Denise Gower presents a third place award to Jinn McCloskey for car- toons entered at a SCJ Conven- tion. SOME OF THE ORIGINAL STAFF of the Fairmont Normal Daily, now The Columns, work di- ligently to meet another dead- line. Nineteen eighty-three marks the anniversary of both The Columns and the Mound. The Columns, established in 1879, as the Fairmont Normal School Daily is 102 years old and the Mound, first published in 1 908 is 75 years old. During some years publica- tions appeared during com- mencement week, but the Fair- mont Normal Bulletin was the first regularly published school publication. At first it was pub- lished once every month. The local and society news was con- tributed by students and the publication included informa- tion as to what students did when they were not in class. The Fairmont Normal Bulle- tin continued to be published as a monthly periodical for some years and later was pub- lished bi-monthly. On Dec. 20, 1923, the Bulletin was re- placed by The Columns which still exists as the student paper. First published as a weekly on every Wednesday morning, the newspaper is now a mem- ber of the Associated Colle- giate Press. The first editor of the Fair- mont Normal Bulletin was Hen- ry Clay Robinson of Harrison County. His staff was com- prised of 30 students and facul- ty. Lesa Wilson and Tim Langer were the 1982-83 co- editors-in-chief, with Lisa Webb as the news editor. The Mound, first published in 1908, has been published every year since with the ex- ception of the years 1921- 1925. Since then the Mount has won many honors, includ- ing the Showcase Award from Herff Jones Publishing Com- pany for two consecutive years and was named an All-West Virginian book for 1 98 1 - 1 982. The Mound has also received many other first-class ratings. Editor for this volume of the Mound was Eddie Nesler. Co- managing editors were Lisa Wamsley and Mary Binegar. Volunteer and journalism students serve on both The Columns and the Mound staffs. 26 Anniversaries ON A VERY CLEAR DAY, Lisa Wamsley, Lesa Wilson and Lisa Webb look over past issues of the yearbook and newspapers for new ideas. PHOTOGRAPHY IS an impor- tant element in publications. Debbie Conaway is always ready to snap a picture wherever she may be. STUDENT PUBLICATIONS takes lots of people and hard work.

Anniversaries 27 Student services Stretching of Activity Fee SIGNING HIS NAME and social security number, Steve Mullins picks up his yearbook in the stu- dent publications office in the LRC. In a time of economical un- certainty, people want to know- where their money goes and its use. When enrolling at Fair- mont State College, full time students are charged $38 for an activity fee. The $38 are distributed among 1 4 areas which vary be- tween testing fees, I.D. cards, intramurals and academic pro- grams. Student Publications receive $7 per student. These funds, said Miss Jane Dumire, director of publications, are used to cover all expenses involved in producing the college newspa- per and yearbook. Student programs, orga- nized to expose students to the arts, claim $6.90 of the $38. The money sponsors concerts, dances and speakers which benefit the students, according to Michelle Casteel, student government adviser. Ms. Casteel explained that the $5.70 earmarked for Stu- dent Government finances all homecoming activities, equip- ment on campus and services such as the student directory. The $3.65 student center ac- tivities fee, also SG related, is spent on activities that directly involve the students: backgam- mon tournaments, contests, dances and Nickel entertain- ment.

Regu- lar events include luncheons, held once a month; dances, held every other Thursday; Wednesday Night at the Nickel or Coffeehouses; and tourna- ments, once a month in addi- tion to intramurals. FRESHMEN Marie Mclntyre and Robert Lough move to the music at a Thursday night dance in the Nickel. We expect to have 100 ac- tivities this year, said Winies- dorffer. The biggest event of the year was the Spring Fling, the first week of May. Among other successes were the Beach Par- ty, Winter Carnival, and Col- lege Bowl.

A fellowship of men and women exist at Fairmont State College in the form of four fra- ternities and three sororities. Each of these organizations unite through active participa- tion in intramurals, Homecom- ing, and the sharing of com- mon interests and work. Tau Kappa Epsilon with its 65 active members, was the largest fraternity on campus in 1983. Projects of this national organization included: collect- ing money for Easter Seals, ringing bells for the Salvation Army at Christmas, helping with the scholarship for the Athletic Banguet, and donat- ing money to both the FSC Stu- dent Loan Fund and St. Judes Children ' s Hospital. Symbolic of TKE are the colors cherry and gray, a red carnation, the pearl, and their largest fund- raiser, chicken roasts. Tau Kappa Epsilon had been cited as top chapter in their district for the past two years. Sigma Pi, the only fraternity on campus with a fraternity house, had 38 members in 1983. One of the fastest grow- ing in the nation, this brother- hood strives to make others more aware of the fraternity, its members, and the many schol- arships offered for outstanding service. Playing softball for the March of Dimes and donating to Easter Seals at Christmas were projects of Sigma Pi. Their Miss Sigma Pi candidate, Kelly Carr, won the national ti- tle. Lavender and white colors, a lavender orchid, and the em- erald are what distinguished Sigma Pi from other fraternities on campus. Theta Xi, an 18-member na- tional fraternity, obtained the highest grade-point average ol all fraternities on campus in the fall semester. Distinguished by blue and white colors and a blue iris, Theta Xi, along with Phi Mu, sponsored a Christmas dinner for senior citizens and a fund-raiser for Multiple Sclero- sis. 32 Greek.s SERVICE DUTIES are a major part of the Greek organizations.

Tau Beta Iota, the first frater- nity established at Fairmont State College, is a local order. TBI ' s primary money-maker was working at West Virginia University ballgames and con- certs. The 20-member organi- zation is basically a social orga- nization. Sigma Sigma Sigma was a sorority represented on cam- pus by purple and white colors, violets, and a sailboat. In addi- tion to supporting the Robbie Page Memorial via funds con- tributed to three children ' s hos- pitals, Tri Sigma adopted a child from an underdeveloped nation to sponsor and care for. This 40-member sisterhood made monthly visits to the Wishing Well Nursing Home in Fairmont and adopted grand- parents whom they attended in especially nice ways. In April, Sigma Sigma Sigma welcomed their mothers to a Founders ' Day celebration, involving an awards banguet. Delta Zeta, the largest nation- al sorority, involved 35 active members on campus, and pro- moted a national philanthropy through contributions to Gau- ladette College for the Hearing Impaired. This sisterhood aid- ed the Jaycees with the haunt- ed house at Halloween, and trained members to work as op- erators at a hotline for battered wives every Tuesday. DZ ' s are distinguished by green and rose colors, turtles, and the pink killarney rose. They par- !

Sixteen members comprised Phi Mu sisterhood during the 1982-83 college year. This or- ganization was represented by the colors rose and white, the carnation, and the lion. Among their fund raisers were a spa- ghetti dinner and pepperoni roll sales. Faculty members ' children were entertained by the sisters at a Halloween party. Homecoming activities for this sisterhood included an alum- nae tea and a Homecoming Queen candidate. A Miss FSC candidate was also sponsored by Phi Mu.

Miss Phillips, junior elemen- tary education major from Fair- mont, represented Delta Zeta sorority in the pageant. A member of Kappa Delta Pi education honorary and the se- lection committee for Who ' s Who, she has also been a fresh- man counselor. I was very shocked when they announced my name as PUBLICITY IS JUST a portion of the Miss FSC pageant.

This is something that I have dreamed of all my life, she commented. It was also an exciting day for first runner-up Stephanie Huff- man, junior psychology major, Miss Morrow Hall, and second runner-up, Beth Jarvis, fresh- man pre-medicine major, Miss Tau Kappa Epsilon. Other contestants included: Can Liebau, junior secondary education major, Miss Mas- guers; Janette Miller, sopho- more English and special edu- cation major, Miss Phi Mu sorority; Kathy Jean Klung, freshman pre-medicine major, Miss Prichard Hall; Anita Ann Mcintosh, sophomore social work major, Miss Sigma, Sig- ma, Sigma sorority; Kimberly Anne Prendergast, sophomore mining engineering technol- ogy major, Miss Sophomore Class; and Cinda Rae Bailey, sophomore interior design major, Miss Sigma Pi Fraterni- ty. The pageant, sponsored by the Women ' s Panhellenic Council, was held in the Wall- man Hall auditorium. Contes- tants were judged according to personal interviews, evening gown appearance, talent abili- ties, and the modeling of swim- suits. Miss West Virginia 1983, Kelly Anderson, and Miss FSC 1983, Kim Jones, performed during intermission. Miss Phillips charmed the audience and the judges with a dramatic song and dance rou- tine performed to the theme song from New York, New York. The judging panel consisted of three judges; Mary McDou- gal, Fairmont; Tom Clark, Bridgeport; and Donna Ander- son, Clarksburg. Even though only one of the nine contestants could be crowned Miss FSC, it was still considered an exciting day for all of them. 36 Miss FSC THE MISS FSC PAGEANT takes lots of time and preparation.

Since 1872, FSC bas been graduating students into the real world and this year, 1 1 2 years later, was no exception. On May 1 4, FSC com- mencement found some 450 graduates in caps and gowns, the proud owners of degrees which came from years of hard work. CONGRATULATIONS ARE GIV- EN to this senior by Dr. Wendell Hard-way. MARSHAL JAMES LARUE leads the procession during the com- mencement. Commencements at FSC have changed drastically since that first ceremony 1 1 2 years ago. At that time, Fairmont State Normal Scbool was locat- ed on the northwest corner of Adams and Quincey Streets. Four students graduated in that first class and ceremonies were held in the Methodist Protes- tant Church. A few years after that first graduation ceremony, a com- mencement activity began which became a tradition for several decades — the debate. In 1874, the debate was a contest between literary soci- eties of the school. The topic was Should ministers be edu- cated above what they can re- ceive in the common schools? 38 Graduation SENIORS AWAIT THE beginning of graduation. PRESIDENT WENDELL HARD- WAY addresses the graduates during the ceremonies. TAKING THAT FINAL STEP, this student receives her diploma from B. G. Dunn. Graduation 39 A quarter of a century later, in 1898, the debates were on such topics as That the Hawai- ian Islands should be annexed by the United States. Back in the days when FSC was still known as Fairmont State Normal School, com- mencement exercises were a community event. Activities extended over an entire week with festivities such as recitals, the baccalaureate sermon, hu- morous senior tributes and of course, the debate, the gradu- ates final chance to display their skills. Today, it ' s different. Some- where over the years, guest speakers replaced debators. No official celebrations were held; instead, a reception was scheduled after each com- mencement. Past guest speakers have in- cluded such people as former . . . step governor Arch Moore, Sena- tors Jennings Randolph and Robert Byrd of West Virginia, Mrs. Sue Seibert, Farnsworth WVA Board of Regents and Senator Jeremiah Denton, ex- POW, from Arkansas. As a result of the proposec higher education budget cut: this year, only FSC-related in dividuals spoke at graduatior ceremonies.

The FSC Masquers 1982-83 season was not exactly what it was planned to be. At the be- ginning of the year, four shows were scheduled and unfortu- nately only two were pro- duced. The first show of the 1982- 83 season was Sutton Vanes ' Outward Bound, directed by B.J. Sherman. Outward Bound is a comedy-drama about British passengers, stranded somewhere between heaven and hell. The show, set in the early 1920 ' s, was cos- tumed by JoAnn Lough in the 20 ' s style. The set was de- signed by Daniel K. Weber. The cast consisted of J.L. Witt, Kim McDowell, Susan Moore, John Fallon, Tony Evans, Brad Six, Randy Wilson, Mark Cof- findaffer, and Dawn Roman. Charles Dickens ' A Christ- mas Carol was scheduled to be produced in December, but an unfortunate illness forced the show ' s cancellation. Mas- quers ' first show of the second semester was to be Wings, but circumstances also pre- vented its production. 42 Masquers THE CAST of Carousel sing out in a stage performance.

The Barter rheater brought in staging squipment, which FSC theater students helped set up. The Fine Arts Gala was beld in March to raise money for Fine Arts scholarships. Both students and faculty participat- ed in this entertaining event. The final show of Masquers ' 1 982-83 season was Edgar Lee Masters ' Spoon River Anthol- ogy. B.J. Sherman directed this play, which is a collection of poems written by Edgar Lee Masters and presented in play form. The poems are individual monologues, given from the grave, by people looking back on their lives. Although the play is people giving their own epitaphs, it is actually about life, not death. The cast consist- ed mainly of members of the FSC Oral Interpretation team. With only half of the shows being done this year, the Mas- quers are more than ready for next year ' s full line-up of shows.

Fairmont State students exhibited a wide range of spirits, including school spir- it, spirit towards studies, and spirit towards sociality. School spirit was no prob- lem. The Fighting Falcon fans stood behind their teams in good times and bad. A cold fall Saturday rarely stopped fans from attending a football game. These were enthusiastic fans dedicated to backing their team. I think our athletic pro- gram is very sound and the atti- tude of our fans is excellent. It has a tradition of good sea- sons, said Duane Heishman, senior business administration major. Spirit towards studies. We ' ve got how ' bout you? Sounds ridiculous, doesn ' t it? Almost humorous. But it was true. Many students worked di- ligently to meet deadlines and obtain good grades. It all paid off when senior year rolled around and the cap and gown were ordered. Spirit towards sociality was one spirit every student was fa- miliar with — social life. Thurs- day at the Pub for quarter beer night. Friday ' s happy hour, when the end of the week came — TGIF and Miller time. Saturday at Mr. G ' s after the parties died down. Well-rounded students ex- perienced a little of each spirit. Fairmont State was a place for learning. They not only need- ed the book learning but also the life learning.

Randy Greathouse, sophomore busi- ness education major, said, When I get involved I feel more a part of the school. I defi- nitely have FSC spirit because it gives me a better attitude to- ward education. Catching the FSC spirit illustrated a rise above the ordinary.

IN ORDER to gain information for a story, Lisa Webb, news edi- tor, interviews Gov. Jay Rockefel- ler. 48 Reporters Interviewing, writing and finalizing . . . Reporters doing what they do bes What is the hardest thing about being a reporter. Every- thing from tracking down sources, to interviewing strang- ers, to writing the story itself. Finding the same time for me and my source to talk is the hardest thing for me: there are a lot of conflicting schedules, said Mary Anne Estel, sopho- more English major. Debbie Conaway, junior graphics major, graphics ma- jor, agrees that finding conve- nient times to talk with sources is difficult, but also finds that one source leads to another in many cases. Often when you interview someone, they can tell you where to get additional infor- mation that you need, she said. On your own, you may never find these other sources. The informal personal ap- proach with the people that she interviews is what Heather Hewitt, sophomore English ma- jor, enjoys. Lisa Webb, sophomore jour- nalism major, feels the same AFTER RESEARCHING her sto- ry, Lesa Suppa types her final copy. BEFORE WRITING his next sports feature, Jeff Powell, sports editor, goes over his notes. way. The best satisfaction is be- ing able to be on a personal level with someone important such as Governor Rockefeller. Somehow this makes all the hard work seem worthwhile. All of the hard work includes scheduling interviews, contact- ing regular sources for weekly information, typing the stories, having the stories revised and edited and meeting deadlines. It doesn ' t matter if you ' re on a city or college newspaper, the prereguisites for being a good reporter are being obser- vant, watching what goes on around you and being respon- sible enough to meet your deadlines, said Lisa Webb, news editor for the Columns. All the satisfaction comes at the end when you see what you ' ve written and your name in print, said Scott Weaver, senior graphics major. I like to see what I ' ve written get pub- lished, but I also know that the most important thing is getting the information to the people who need to see it. Reporters 49 : v x In Academics ris ris ris ris Tell me something else. How are academics a rise above the ordinary? As freshmen were looking toward new academic goals, seniors were putting the finishing touches on theirs. These students chose programs from nine divi- sions. They may have picked a program in Allied health, such as Medical Records Technology. Others found commerce to have the resources they needed to succeed in the competitive world of business. Fine Arts gave stu- dents the opportunity to explore theater, music, speech and art. Whereas the Language and Literature opened up opportunities for exploration of foreign languages and study of some of the greats like Shakespeare. Technology also provided opportunities in mining and drafting. The divisions of math and science, social sciences and health physical educat ion recreation and saftey also helped make academics a rise above the ordi- nary. RESEARCHING MATERIAL for a Class project, senior politi- cal science major Rocco Fucillo concentrates intently. ABOVE THE ORDINARY- Academics 51 Allied Health Courses are allies in Allied Health The chief goal of the Allied Health Division was to provide practical experience. Thus, stethoscopes, uniforms, and lab ex- periments became a normal part of life for students pursueing degrees in this field. The allied health program, headed by Dr. Paul Edwards, pro- vided opportunities for those students interested in areas of Medi- cal Laboratory Technology, Nursing and Veterinary Assistant Technology. Medical Records Technology was a popular major in the Divi- dion of Allied Health. According to Sister Marie Horvath, director of the MRT program, once a student graduates with an associate or bachelor ' s degree in this field, they will be able to maintain the medical records in any health care facility. Students enjoy the program for a variety of reasons. I like Medical Records because I did not want to be ' just another medi- cal secretary. ' A Medical Records Technician is so much more than that, said Anita Smith, a first year MRT student. In all, the division was sufficiently eguipped to supply students with necessary skills for a degree in Allied Health.

Consisting of various organizations, programs and career op- portunities, the Division of Commerce provided students with the knowledge needed to succeed in the competitive world of busi- ness. The commerce division offered a four-year bachelor of science degree in business administration, with concentrations in four areas; general business, accounting, economics and office ad- ministration. The division also offered bachelor of arts degrees in business education, comprehensive secretarial, and business principles. In the area of two-year programs, students selected accounting, general business, banking, real estate, secretarial, clerical elec- tronic data processing, retailing or insurance. Dr. Robert L. Bowers, division chairman said, Business stu- dents choose a minor from one of the associate two-year degrees, which is called 2 plus 2 concept. If a student has a two-year degree and decides to go into a four-year degree, the two years can be applied to meet the reguirements. A new organization, SAM, Society for the Advancement of Management, was added to the department, stated Carter Gro- cott, associate professor of commerce. Other organizations of- fered by the division included the Future Secretaries Association and Phi Beta Lambda. ELECTRIC ADDING MACHINES make working with numbers a lot easier for these students.

The Art Department provides a program of study for the prep- aration of teachers. Faculty members of the department are professional artists as well as educators, exhibiting their work in state, regional, and national exhibitions. The excellent student-teacher ratio enables the professors to provide individual counseling and instruction. The degree programs in music, are organized to provide through background for teaching, music or professional careers. The music department provides musical instruction for its stu- dents and believes in exposing many new and innovative educa- tional ideas as well as emphasizing the musical heritage of the past. Speech Communication and Theater is a program designed to provide students with a variety of choices to develop knowledge and skills through performance and achievement. The division also offers minors and or two-year associate de- gree programs in commercial design, music merchandising, and radio-tv communication.

Fine Arts 57 Education Learning to help people to learn One of the widely chosen fields of study on campus represent- ed those students who wished to further the education of others. These students were offered various alternatives in the Division of Education. They could have chosen fields ranging from English to business education where they could teach kindergarten through 12. Katie Stocks, a prospective English teacher, said, I decided to become an English major because I don ' t think there are enough good English teachers. People don ' t want to get into the field because they think it is a hassle. I never had very good English teachers, so I hope to help some other student the way I was never helped. Changes in attitude caused Lisa Eliason to enter into business education. She stated the reason for her change was . . . be- cause I started out in business, but I thought it would be more interesting to teach it than to apply it. When asked if an education student could find a job after graduation, Dr. Harry Hadley, dean of teacher education, re- plied, Yes, there is a pretty good chance for employment if the graduate is willing to move to the job. Dr. Hadley also said that teachers must be knowledgeable because today ' s students can- not be fooled. The students are more informed and ask more guestions. The teachers must be prepared to answer these gues- tions. The English and business teaching majors along with all the other representative fields in the education division consisted of students dedicated to the task of improving the guality of educa- tion.

A minor is also offered for those who are interested in a future in this field. For students interested in the field of physical education, non- teaching, a B.S. major and minor are offered. The curriculum also includes a B.A. degree in education with a subject specialization in physical education, grades 7-12 and K-12. The HPERS division also offers a minor in recreational leader- ship which involves a basis in recreation philosophy, principles and objectives. Elective classes include sport coaching, outdoor recreation and aquatic activities. CLASSMATES AID EACH OTH- ER in an effort to perform skills designated by an instructor.

Language and Literature Communicating for the future The English, foreign language, journalism, and library science departments combined to form the Division of Language and Literature, which strived to achieve effective communication in society today. The current English curriculum was designed to give students the instruction needed for improving their communication skills and basic knowledge of the English language. The journalism department tried to meet society ' s demand to train people for responsible and reliable positions in the journal- ism field, both teaching and non-teaching. A blend of theory and practical experience enabled students to discover what it was like working in the field of mass communications. The foreign languages of French, German, and Spanish were offered to those students seeking better understanding of a for- eign language. The students could teach or enter into the field of international relations. Students also had the option to supple- ment their major with a foreign language which resulted in a basic knowledge of that language. Library Science was a specialization open to those who wished to become certified librarians in public, academic, and special institutions. The library science curriculum was open to students interested in a better understanding of the library. The wide-ranging Division of Language and Literature was able to help students become more familiar in the wide-ranging area of communications.

J Technology Making the trade for manual skills The challenging and innovative Division of Technology, head- ed by Dr. James Hales, offered students a place to learn and expand. Many wide-ranging career opportunities were available for those students interested in technology. Four-year bachelor of science degree programs were offered in engineering technology, occupational health, and bachelor of arts degrees in industrial arts education and home economics. David Corathers, junior electronics engineering technology major, was asked why he chose E.E.T. as a career and what he liked about the technology department. I enjoy working in the informal atmosphere. I feel I ' m on a one-to-one basis with my instructors. Most of all, I appreciate being able to work with the eguipment. That ' s something you can ' t do at all colleges, remarked Corathers. The focus of the occupational health degree program was to meet the manpower requirements for industrial hygienists in the manufacturing industries of West Virginia. The bachelor of arts degree program in industrial arts educa- tion offered a study in these various concepts: construction, draft- ing, electricity and electronics. Home economics was also a part of the Technology Division. Students associated with this field were interested in developing concepts, skills, and values that contributed to rewarding and satisfying life styles and to utilize those skills for gainful employ- ment. All these programs combined to offer a variety of career oppor- tunities and signified the growing need for professionals in these areas. CONCENTRATION AND SKILL are applied by these students as they do some work in a upper-di- vision technology course. BEFORE THE INSTRUCTOR ar- rives the class takes time to pre- pare for a quiz. Technology 65 Math and Science in the future The Division of Math and Science had a very important goal. Each semester it strived to graduate responsible, well-educated students into the various fields of math and science, in either the teaching on non-teaching areas. The man most responsible for meeting this goal was Dr. William Ruoff, chairman of the division for the past 14 years. According to Dr. Ruoff, several choices were open to the stu- dent wishing to major in math or science. Each year, the division awarded four undergraduate and two freshmen scholarships. Within the division were student organi- zations such as the student affiliate of the American Chemical Society and the biology honorary, Beta Beta Beta. A student graduating with a degree in science could find em- ployment in the chemical or environmental industry. A popular area for the mathematics graduate was computer mathematics. A sign that the division was moving ahead became evident with the purchase of two IBM computers. According to Dr. Ruoff, the purchase was a wise one. Today everything is computerized, especially in the math and science fields. We needed to make sure students were familiar with using computers to get informa- tion, he commented. Although the computers were most often used by chemistry students, they were available for use by all faculty and students in the math and science division. 66 Math and Science SENIOR CHEMISTRY MAJOR Terri Doolittle transfers a sugar solution to a graduated cylinder.

Math and Science 67 Social Science Making this world a better place Political science, history, social studies, geography, philos- ophy, criminal justice, sociology, and psychology disciplines combine to form the Division of Social Science. These curricula strive to teach young men and women an understanding of the society, a skill or tool to better serve the society and to help people advise themselves in the future. The social studies program is primarily concerned with prepar- ing teachers in the elementary and secondary schools. The historian ' s concern is that of past experiences and how they relate to the actions of a modern society. Their studies are based on written documents, verbal testimony and significant physical remains. The geography curriculum allows students to become familiar with the world ' s regions, and at the same time analyze the interre- lations between man and his environment. Through philosophy courses students explore the types of thought generated in areas such as ethics and politics and are encouraged to develop a self-concept, a world-view, values, ex- pectations, commitments and loyalties in a rational and realistic manner. Political science classes enable students to understand more fully the structure of government, individuals and groups political behavior. On the psychology level courses fulfill a need for understand- ing and information dealing with problems of personal and soci- etal adjustment. With similar interests the sociology curriculum strives to expand a student ' s ability to guestion and understand various forms of communication in social and cultural systems. The criminal justice department offers students a wide variety of courses that will benefit them in their chosen field of study. These include courses in criminology, political science, allied health, law enforcement, security, the corrections process, and a variety of general studies courses. The expanding, efficient and well rounded division of Social Science adva nced throughout the year, attempting to better edu- cate students in the areas of human development, historical facts, political developments and social needs. According to Dr. Yu San Wang chairman of the division, of major importance in the future of the division is in the use of computers, because they are becoming of significant importance throughout the world. STUDENTS listen intently to a lecture on the humanities. 68 Social Science SEATED at the conference table, Dr. Wardian prepares to answer questions about his Holocaust presentation. DRIVING his point home, Dr. Wardian notes the trials and di- lemmas associated with the Holo- caust. Social Science 69 Practicums A time for Practice It has been said that the best way to learn something is through first-hand experience. Each semester, students in almost every area of study are given the opportunity to put their classroom educations to use through practicums. Various area hospitals, schools, businesses and other institutions become a major part of the educational system by donating time and facilities, enabling students to work in a professional atmosphere for career exper- ience. In most four-year programs, the practicum does not begin until the junior or senior year or until general study requirements are met. In two-year programs, however, the practicum may begin as early as the second semester of the freshman year. Most students believe that the practicum is a necessary part of a curriculum because it allows them a taste of the real world. Teaching is a lot different than I thought it would be, said senior journalism and business major Denise Gower about her student teaching practicum. It feels strange to be the teacher instead of the student, but I think it is essential to have this exper- ience before you actually begin teaching.

Academic awards 73 H J M iy g jj J 1 %M In Sports JL 19v rise ris I heard that sports were a rise above the ordinary. Is that true? Sure is. A few of the sports, as compared to years before, were not up to expectations. The football team found themselves mov- ing into the dorms instead of apartments, but they didn ' t move into the national playoffs as in 1 98 1 . While the football team was making adjustments, the men ' s basketball team was also taking on a new look or rather a new coach. Even though they ended the season with a record of 14-14, the Falcons had high hopes for next year. The women ' s basketball team had high hopes for this season. They finished third in the West Virginia Conference. The swim- ming team also did well with seven members making all-Ameri- can. Golf, volleyball, baseball, and both tennis teams from the opening play to the final buzzer make this year a rise above the ordinary. FALCON FOOTBALL team member Brian Brown heads towards the goal line in a game held at Rosier Field.

Jt season of ups and downs Wi e go into every season with lofty goals, reaching for the sky — just as high as we can go, comment- ed head mentor Dave Ritchie on his outlook of the 1 982 foot- ball season. The two goals the Falcon coaches and players wanted most were the WVIAC title and a NAIA playoff berth for the second consecutive season. Al- though their goals alluded them, they did achieve a 6-3 record. This season was one of ups and downs for the Falcons as ASSISTANT COACH Tim Viox ex- plains strategies to safety Dan Fairbanks. AWAITING THE START of the game, cheerleaders Tonya McClung, Todd Carey, Rita Set- lif f and Todd Ernest listen to the National Anthem. they started off the year ranked number 19 in the pre-season NAIA poll. In the home open- er, Clarion State shocked the Fighting Falcons as they de- feated them 24- 1 2, for the first regular season defeat at Rosier Field in four years. With a week off between the Clarion and Salem contests, the Falcons concentrated on the fundamentals. We have to get the basics down if we want to improve, Ritchie said after the loss to the Golden Eagles. The basics must have im- proved because FSC roared past the Salem Tigers in their next outing 29-6. The Falcons continued on a roll as they con- guered W.Va. Wesleyan, and fourth ranked Concord. After the first four contests, quarterback Larry Farrell passed for 913 yards, an aver- age of 228.3 yards per game. Farrell was later beset by injur- ies that stunted his time on the field.

The Golden Bears came into the WVC contest winless while FSC was ranked 1 4th in the nation and perched atop the WVIAC with a 4-0 mark. The Bears crushed the Falcons, resulting in their first confer- ence setback and second over- all loss. After narrowly defeating Glenville State 17-16 the Fal- cons and the Shepherd Rams squared off in Shepherdstown to decide the league champi- on. Shepherd scored early after cashing in on a Bird fum- ble and never looked back in thrashing FSC 35-3. Shepherd then went on to defeat W.Va. State the following week to win the conference championship. The Fighting Falcons closed out their nine game schedule by knocking off West Liberty 23-10. Backup quarterback Mark Johnson ran for one TD and passed for another in aid- ing the winning cause. Several Falcons were hon- ored throughout the season for their outstanding efforts. All conference linebacker Tim Byard was NAIA defensive player of the week for his agressive play in the Concord win.

The facilities are open to all students, faculty and staff, said Colin T. Cameron, direc- tor of athletics and chairman of physical education. Both individual and group activities, such as racguetball, volleyball, swimming, weight- lifting, running, and aerobic dance and excercise, were available. The center is used exten- sively for intramural sports sponsored for the benefit of all students, he said. Teams, con- tests, and various activities are organized for competitive play among various groups and or- ganizations. A beginners ' swimming pro- gram was offered through the FSC Community College for tiny tots, children, and adults. People age 70 and over learned to swim through this program and with the assis- tance of instructor Stephen J. Mahaney, swim team coach and assistant professor of phys- ical education. Facilities can be used by outside groups on a rental ba- sis. The building is rented an- nually by the Sports Activity Commission for high school state tournaments, Dr. Ca- meron said. Whether the activity was swimming, jogging, racguet- ball, weight-lifting, or simple excercises, the Feaster Center was the place for physical fit- ness.

However, the other women worked real hard and showed great improve- ment throughout the season, said head coach Robert Stem- pie. One bright spot was the fact that the whole team let- tered in the sport, which is one of the reasons that I am very optimistic for next year, he concluded.

Women ' s Tennis 85 Looking to the future The cross country team, informally known as the Red Hot Pokers, concluded their fall season undefeated, finish- ing second in the West Virginia Conference meet. They were outranked by Glenville State College. Despite not taking the con- ference championship, the team reached and perhaps sur- passed other preseason goals. Coach Bohnke ' s first six run- ners proved more successful than anticipated and each team member exceeded his personal goals. A prime example would be that of sophomore Greg Pat- ton ' s, fourth-place finish at the Cross Country Cal. State West Liberty Dual Glenville Invit. Indiana Invit. W Va. Tech Dual J. Varian Invit. Conf. Championship West Liberty Invitational meet, his best finish so far. Also exhibiting leadership and outstanding showmanship were the Fournier twins, Paul and Danny. Both Patton and Paul Fournier received All- Conference honors. In retrospect, Coach David Bohnke sized up the season as very successful, with nobody hurt and improvements in both competition and attitudes. However, with all but one run- ner returning in the fall and most participating in summer training, he continued looking to the future. TIMING IS ESSENTIAL in ever y meet. Coach David Bohnke and Mike Crawley anxiously await the runners ' arrival at the finish line. LEG STRETCHES are an impor- tant preparation for every meet, Nettie Hopkins takes time out to warm up.

Bump Set Spike! Women ' s sports in- creased in popular- ity as 1 4 women vied for positions on the volleyball team. It was a disappointing year for the team, said Coach Mari- lyn Neptune. The team finished the season with two wins and 1 3 losses. One came against Wheeling College and a forfeit against West Virginia Tech. In tournament play, the Falcon- ettes suffered three losses. A deficiency in the team was not playing to potential, said Coach Neptune. She re- marked that throughout the season, team members showed signs of being a good team, but never played to the best of their abilities. Lack of experience was also a problem. The volleyball team was a young team, with one freshman starter. With great potential and a year of experience under their belts, the women were not looking back. They were al- ready looking for better things to come . . . the following year. BEFORE THE NEXT MATCH, serving strategy is discussed by Terri McCamey and Brenda Christy.

But few stu- dents manage to letter in two varsity sports and keep the grade-point average necessary for eligibility. The four male athletes who received two letters all played baseball and football and were all underclass- men. Freshmen attaining two letters were Barry White and Joe Snider. Sopho- mores were Danny Knicely and Junior Thomas. One female received her second letter in her second varsity sport. Annie Mack lettered in volleyball in the fall. She had lettered in track in the spring of 1982. Athletic director Colin Cameron mentioned that some athletes who had po- tential to be double play- ers didn ' t get to do so be- cause of FSC ' s not having a track team this year.

Wheeling College end- ed FSC ' s season with a 66-49 upset in the WVIAC post-sea- son tournament. At home, the Falcons won an impressive 1 2 of 16 games. Tim Murphy, a sophomore forward, led the Falcons in scoring with 17.4 points per game. He was also selected to the All-Conference second team.

The Falcons season record of six wins and twelve losses was a deceiving factor of how the season went. The netters trav- eled south on a tour playing top NAIA and NCAA opponents and nationally ranked teams. Teams like Duguesne and James Madison were among the highly ranked teams FSC faced during the season. The losing record hid FSC ' s very much talented players. The experience and opportu- nities were very beneficial players said, and every individ- ual was given a chance to play at his fullest potential. The experience in playing these nationally ranked teams and top schools helped our team tremendously , said Coach White. . • ;- :•: v FSC Opp. James Madison U. 9 Emory Henry 1 8 King College 9 Ohio 9 Tennessee U. 9 Carson-Newman 9 Duguesne 8 1 Wheeling 8 1 U. of Charleston 3 6 Frostburg 4 5 West Liberty 2 7 Glenville 8 1 WVU 9 Davis Elkiris 9 WV Wesleyan 2 7 U. oi Charleston 9 WV State 8 1 West Liberty 3 6 j wm m  ■ ijii I ; i w.i. : • i ?

The team, which had only one senior and six returning lettermen, completed the sea- son with an overall record of 6 wins and 25 losses and a con- ference record of 5-15. The young Falcons got off to a slow start by losing ten games. The first five losses came at the hands of non-con- ference teams from South Carolina during the Falcon ' s annual southern trip. In conference play, the team managed to beat Charleston, W.Va. State, West Liberty, Glenville and Alderson Broad- dus each one time.

Feaster Award and the Jasper H. Cole- bank Memorial Award for their academic and sports excel- lence. Judy Kelly, a Fairmont resi- dent, is the female recipient of the Eston K. Feaster Award presented to the graduating senior who has maintained the highest overall academic aver- age among female lettermen of both major and minor sports. Mrs. Kelly, a 1968 graduate of Stonewall Jackson High School and an elementary edu- cation and library science ma- jor, has maintained a grade average of 3.48 in her two years in track under coaches Mike Gorton and Dave Bohnke. She holds school track records for the 10,000 meter run at 4 1 .5 1 and the 3,000 me- ter run at 11.51. Named to the All-Conference team, she ran the 1,500 meter run in 5.25. Robert David Myak, son of Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Myak, of Beaver, Pa., has obtained a 3.30 grade average while ma- joring in biology and minoring in chemistry. The male recipient of the K. Feaster Award is a four-year letterman of the Falcon football sguad as an offensive lineman. During his four-year career at FSC, Myak has helped lead his collegiate team to a 30-9-2 re- cord along with two West Vir- ginia Conference champion- ships. He is also a member of the Beta Beta Beta, biology honorary. Donna Jean Hopkins is the recipient of the Jasper H. Cole- bank Memorial Award pre- sented to the senior who has done the most to promote the best interest of athletics during the course of her college ca- reer. The daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Irving Hopkins of Oak Hill is one of two women basketball players who has hit the 1 ,000- point mark. Playing in every game over the past four years, Miss Hopkins has achieved a career total of 727 rebounds and 1 ,007 points. The three- year captain and four-year let- terman has helped boost the women ' s team record to a 2 1 -9 mark her senior year. Majoring in radio and televi- sion communication, the senior woman is a member of the Black Student Union and the intramural staff at FSC. She also boasts a career average of 1 0.7 points per game and high game of 26 points against Mar- ietta, which won her honorable mention on the All-Confer- ence team this past season. WITH THE AID of his teammates, Robert Myak (5 2) holds off the op- ponent. Awards 1 1 5 rise in play The ideal of a well-edu- cated society is served and supported by the desire for fulfillment and en- richment as evidenced in this program, said FSC president Wendell Hardway of the FSC intramurals program. According to Jean Ward, di- rector, the intramural program was developed to allow those who are not on an intercolle- giate team to participate in competitive activities within the local college community. The goal of the program is to develop wholesome attitudes toward physical fitness and life- time sports activities. It is hoped that each individual who participates in the pro- gram finds the recreation to be an added dimension to a more complete college education. Participants are taught sportsmanship, fair play, and respect for the rights of others. They also gain self-confidence and a competitive spirit. This year ' s program added four new teams to the men ' s di- vision, bringing tbe total to 20 teams. Each team consisted of 30 to 1 00 members, increasing participation about 22 percent. The men ' s teams were divid- ed into three divisions: fraterni- ty, independent, and club- dorm. HEY MAY not be professionals, ut these students take their ool-playing seriously! Intramurals 1 17 play play play The women ' s division con- sisted of 1 1 teams and partici- pation increased by 33 per- cent. Women ' s teams were divided into an independent division and a sorority division. Intramural activities includ- ed such things as archery, backgammon, bowling, horse- shoes, spades, basketball, foot- ball, track and field, tug-o-war, and a hen of turkey trot, among others. The teams were governed by an intramural council com- prised of the intramural direc- tor and a representative from each team. The program also had its own constitution, stating the rules of the organization and its function. The rules concerned membership, eligibility, pro- tests, postponements, forfeits, officiating and the point system used. At the end of the year the team with the most total points and the team that won the mc championships were reco nized. According to Miss War this year has been the best far for mtramurals.

How did the people at FSC make it a rise above the ordinary? Well, let ' s see. I guess you could say that the vast range of unigue people make the biggest difference. Each person, wheth- er he or she was a student, faculty member, administrator, or staff member, somehow contributed to life at FSC. Everyone found that the old group effort made life much easier and fulfilling. The first day of the first semester seemed years ago by the time finals rolled around. People working together helped the days to go faster. Despite the depressed economy, spirits and outlooks were kept at an optimistic level — thanks to the people . What made the people at FSC so different? I ' d say that unigue talents and gualities that each person brought to FSC made life very interesting. The ' Valley Girl ' rage along with the revival of the 50 ' s and 60 ' s dress codes inspired many people to display their intermost personalities. Also, atten- tion was brought to the campus on the hill by newsmaker Kelly Anderson, Miss West Virginia. Not only did beauty add to the flavor of life at FSC, but many other great personalities directed traffic on snowy mornings that should be forgotten, cooks who made sure that each student had enough ' food for thought, ' and staff members who kept the lawns and grounds immaculate. Yeah, I guess you could say that the people helped to make FSC a rise above the ordinary. THIS STUDENT RELAXES while he plays his guitar.

Instead, Kelly Anderson, re- cent Miss America contestant and FSC coed, was unpreten- tiously clad in jean cut-offs and a t-shirt. Miss Anderson, veteran of five pageants, began her ca- reer by gaining the title of Miss Clarksburg on the eve of her 19th birthday in 1981, and then leaving the Miss West Vir- ginia Scholarship Pageant as first runner-up. She returned to the pageant circuit in 1982 and was crowned Miss Harrison Coun- ty. Armed once again with a local title, she won the Miss West Virginia Scholarship Pag- eant that year. Besides the wardrobe con- sisting of casual clothes and gowns, a trip to New York, and a car, Miss Anderson was awarded $2,000 in scholarship funds. She prepared for the Miss America Pageant in Atlantic City by attending daily dance sessions with Mitzi Layne of Clarksburg, having gown fit- tings, studying political issues, and, the tough part , mock in- terviews to familiarize herself with press tactics. Following the pageant, Miss Anderson returned to Fair- mont and to the realities of ev- eryday life, which included modeling for Hartley ' s Depart- ment Store and Ames Hard- ware.

And ' good ' to an artist, is only adeguate. Tony Evans, senior theater- music major, has gone well beyond the point of being good. His charismatic style and has graced a number of the JSC Masguers productions, in- cluding Oedipus Rex and Outward Bound. In the fall, Evans started teaching children ' s theater class. His class consisted of 20 young people, ages 8 to 18. Evans feels that there is a need for children in this area to get involved in theater. Most states have theater as a part of secondary education, said the actor. It needs to be estab- lished here. The fundamental purpose for the class was to teach chil- dren to be self-confident and to be more comfortable in front of other people. Students were taught speech mechanism us- age, correct enunciation, voice profection, sta ge directions, script reading and memoriza- tion technigues. The type of acting the stu- dents practiced is called read- er ' s theater, in which body movements are kept at a mini- mum. Emphasis is placed on fa- cial and vocal expression. With their classmates as the audience, the student actors were ready to perform — on stage and in life. IN ADDITION to acting, senior theater music major, Tony Evans works behind the scenes.

The wide-spread preppy sensation was made to take a back seat role as the Valley Girls of the San Fernando Valley made a totally bitchen (the best) impact on teens. Vals were basically bubble- headed, trend-obsessed teen- aged girls whose favorite pas- sions were shopping, being popular, pigging out on junk food, and piling on cosmetics. A Valley Girl ' s total necessi- ties included: sun glasses, lip gloss, Bubblicious chewing gum, a blow dryer, a Walkmar radio, and at least one gold chain, ferr shurr (for sure). A Val ' s wardrobe had to be totally awesome. Like, clothes were important for their image, and like, everything had to match. Mini skirts, flat shoes, bow ties, short pants, and den- im jackets with the collar turned up and the cuffs rolled back accentuated the ultimate Val ' s apparel. But what really differentiated a Val from other fads, was the totally awesome vocabulary. Val-speak renewed itself al- most daily. It was like changing mega times. Spin-offs from the new fad included: a hit record by Frank Zappa and his 15-year-old daughter, Moon Unit, a TV sit- com Sguare Pegs, calen- dars, coloring books, beach towels, T-shirts, lapel buttons, bumper stickers, and a Valley Girls guide on make-up, clothes, proper manners and vocabulary. Some popular Val expres- sions were Omigod, Bag your face, Grody to the max, and Gag me with a spoon. Of mega importance for a Val was popularity. As one puts it, Being popular is, like, so important. Otherwise, people might not like you. Although the Val fad started out in the youngteens ' bracket, it quickly infected nearly every age group. People of all sizes, even FSC students, could be heard prac- ticing the popularized Val ex- pressions. Valley Girls will more than likely to remembered in the years to come; it was like rilly trnedystosthtrendy to the max.

I write a song to make it relate to whoever is listening. That makes it mean something to ev- eryone, stated Brian Haugh, senior psychology major. Haugh, who has been play- ing guitar for 13 years, started writing songs when he was 1 5 and has written 20 songs. Accidentally meeting Steve Goodman, acoustic guitar player with John Prine, at a Tas- tee-Freeze in Philippi, Haugh explained he had some songs he would like the professional musicians to hear. Goodman tore off a piece of hamburger wrapper, wrote down his ad- dress and told Haugh to send him what he had. I would like to perform pro- fessionally, Haugh said, but you have to meet the right peo- ple, at the right place, at the right time. He has sent out two dozen cassettes with 1 5 of his songs and some of his brother ' s songs. This is a difficult and com- petitive business, he said. I would be satisfied to write songs for a professional sing- er. Haugh liked to express him- self in his songs. His favorite song, Coffee ' s Cold, which he wrote two years ago, was about a first love affair that end- ed in tragedy. Haugh has provided enter- tainment for various area night- clubs. Who knows where he will be performing in years to come? SENIOR PSYCHOLOGY MAJOR, Brian Haugh, provides entertain- ment during a Wednesday Night at the Nickel.

The 5-11 center played for South Harrison High School before enrolling at Fairmont State. Miss Huffman, a hopeful ail- American candidate this sea- son, was featured in the NAIA Media Guide for scoring 17.1 points and grabbing 12.7 re- bounds per game last season. JUNIOR ELEMENTARY EDU- CATION major Vicki Huffman shoots for two. . :m This season, she exceeded the 1 ,000-point mark and stnved for a record-breaking 37 points in a single game. Three people she said who definitely influenced her game were Jill Ruziska, her high school coach, her father, and FSC ' s Coach Joe Lambiotte. My father, Ed Huffman, had the biggest influence on me, she stated. Without all of his criticism, I may not have been able to improve early in my ca- reer. Futher praise went to Coach Lambiotte, who she said has developed her into a well- rounded ballplayer. When asked what she con- sidered the best season of her college career, she cited her freshmen. Thus, she said, it was easier to excel. Miss Huffman was relatively satisfied with her fulfillment of potential and abilities. This sea- son, however, was one of team excellence rather than person- al excellence. Although she had outstanding teammates, her personal statistics have not reached her high expectations. Nevertheless, she strove with great determination to meet her goal. We have a very talented team, and I was proud to play as their teammate, she re- marked, adding that her most important goal this season was for the team to win the WVIAC title.

He claimed to be one of those people who can ' t take it easy. Jacobin, a third year student, graduated in May. His classes last semester were in fields of graphic arts, real estate and in- terior decoration. For his graphic arts practi- cum, he went to Washington, D.C., in the summer of 1982 for his work experience. He worked first at the Type found- ry and then the Levy Zimberg Advertising Agency. His biggest summer accom- plishment came when be be- gan doing display work for the New York-based Blooming- dales Department Store. After returning to Fairmont, Jacobin started a freelance dis- play business, Visual Con- cepts. He also worked at Say- Boy ' s Restaurant and for Newton Manufacturing. In March, he worked as a display director for the Bon Ton De- partment Store in the Meadow- brook Mall. Surprisingly, Jacobin had time for other interests, includ- ing skiing, traveling, and Broadway shows.

A major task: Three majors The chemistry most people are interested in is the kind concerning love between man and woman. However, another kind of chemistry involved bal- ancing eguations, combining elements and scientific formu- las. This second chemistry was the one for which Mike Lem- ley, senior chemistry major, has set his cap. Lemley was walking the pro- verbial extra mile by graduat- ing with three majors: chemis- try, physics and general science. He successfully com- pleted this rigorous program in four years. In describing Lem- ley ' s feat, Dr. Harry Hadley, dean of teacher education, said, He really knew what he wanted and set out to get it. Most people bump around for a year or two. He ' s unigue in that he combined three fields. Lemley is an excellent student who went for what he wanted. Not only did Lemley com- plete two other programs, gen- eral studies and education. This made him graduate with a total of five fields. Lemley originally planned to go into computer science, but changed his mind after taking some high school chemistry and physics courses at East Fairmont High School, where his high school chemistry teacher impressed him. Lem- ley felt the math and science department at FSC was very good and well-eguipped. When asked about the fu- ture, Lemley replied, I want to teach all three subjects. I think there are too many people who go through the chemistry and physics fields and go else- where for jobs because teach- ers ' salaries are too low. I want to teach because it would have more influence on future sci- ence and could possibly steer people into the direction of sci- ence. Lemley had to juggle his courses around and stick to a tight schedule of 68 straight hours of science. Some of the courses were only offered once a year or every other year. Throughout these trying se- mesters, Lemley maintained a B-average in all subjects. In the long run, Lemley proved that he ' s chemically in- clined.

From this gathering and the blending together of cultures have emerged a new America. In numbers, variety and dif- ferentiation lie the vitality of oneness. Through encourag- ing individuality and the re- taining of various groups integ- rities, an American was liberated and guided into a fel- lowship of oneness. On a smaller scale FSC pos- sessed this same vitality and oneness. Here too, various cul- tural groups were brought to- gether. Natives of Iran, Jordan, Taiwan, Saudi Arabia, Pakin- stan, Thailand, Canada, Co- meroon and Nigeria were en- rolled at FSC in 1983. Also, many FSC students of diverse cultural backgrounds were now American citizens. Junior electronics major Richard Coutinho, one of these unique citizens, was asked to compare FSC with a Pakistin- lan college. He said that one of the differences was that Ameri- can colleges have a wider vari- ety of subjects from which to select. We have only biology, engineering and accounting over there, Coutinho stated. After completing his studies at FSC, he planned to stay in the United States to obtain a Ph.D. Among the FSC faculty were also several persons of differ- ent backgrounds. China, Egypt and Nepal were a few of the countries represented by these instructors and profes- sors. Thus, from this gathering and blending of cultures with- in FSC, the American melt- ing pot continues.

Unfortunately, lacrosse did not gain the popularity in West Virginia that it did in his home in the Baltimore area. Considered to be the fastest game on foot, lacrosse is similar to hockey and soccer. With 1 players, the game is based on a defense and an offense made up of a midfield, and an attack. A small ball is passed from player to player with loop-net- ted sticks that players carry. Ray played lacrosse since he was eight years old. He gained interest in the game because of its popularity in Maryland. He added that his parent ' s support was a large part of the reason he remained interested in the sport. In high school in addition to playing lacrosse, Ray played basketball and football. This past year he played football for Fairmont State. He has been as- sistant coach for young chil- dren at the Fallston recrea- tional center in Fallston, Md. since 1979. Because lacrosse was sel- dom played in West Virginia, Ray taught some of his friends to play the game to give himself competition. I wish more FSC students played the game, Ray said. You have to keep playing all the time to stay on top of any sport and lacrosse is no exception to the rule. DISPLAYING A PIECE of lacrosse equipment is Chris Ray, fresh- man political science major.

E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial made its first showing in late summer and could still be seen at the Tygart Valley Cinema six months later. The popular film was viewed and enjoyed by people of all ages. Some returned to the the- aters time and time again. The 40-inch E.T. worked his way into many hearts. The alien was abandoned by his breth- ren on a lonely California hill- side and befriended by sensi- tive, 10-year-old, Elliot. The film covered attempts to keep E.T. ' s presence a secret and to find a way to enable him to return home. Although E.T. was ugly, he made up for his lack of good looks with his gentle, uninhibit- ed, naive nature, compared to the harsh, uncaring world he had been left in. The small wonder actually cost $1.5 million to construct and was designed in three vari- ations for different scenes: me- chanical model was operated by cables and a dozen men; an electronic model for the finer facial movements; and a walk- ing E.T. for free-standing scenes. This one was operated by either of two dwarfs or a leg- less boy. E.T. ' s hand movements were the work of a professional mime and his speech that of a former elocution teacher. He had 85 points of move- ment, ranging from the raising of an arm to the blinking of an eye. His extendable neck was director Spielberg ' s idea so that nobody would think any- one was inside. As the E.T. sensation swept the nation, the market became filled with his memorabilia. Many students on campus could be seen contributing to the craze. Items found in area stores included: a stuffed doll, an E.T. version of the Texas In- strument Speak and Spell game that he used in the mov- ie, T-shirts, posters, trading cards, and candy. E.T. was also the inspiration for a Neil Dia mond hit, Heart Light. E.T., a movie for all ages, symbolized mankind ' s need for a renewal of the bonds of friendship.

Even a fish wouldn ' t get in trouble if he kept his mouth shut. This humorous quotation hung on the office wall of one of the most interesting people on the FSC campus. Jean Ward has been part of the teaching and coaching staff since 1969, and for the past 5 years directed mtramurals. Miss Ward also is an adviser for Sigma Pi fraternity, as well as being a fishing enthusiast. People just don ' t realize how much fun fishing can be, she said. My father started me fishing when I was young. At the age of 1 4 or 15 1 began fishing on a commercial boat. Miss Ward continued fishing there on and off for 1 1 years. In 1968, she started fishing competitively, and now she possess records, not only local- ly, but nationally and interna- tionally, too. One such record has been held since 1 970, for a 44-pomt Cyprinus Carp. Most recently she set eight world re- cords in 1982. So what ' s the big deal about catching a 44-pomt fish any- way? Well, try catching it on a line intended to hold only 21 pounds! During the fishing class she taught, Miss Ward had been known to pull a 270-pound stu- dent through the swimming pool with a 10-pound fishing line. Almost any Field Stream magazine may have included an article written about one of Miss Ward ' s fishing achieve- ments. She has also done many television and radio programs on the techniques of fishing. Among her accomplish- ments were the 18th Annual Maryland Sport Fishing Award, Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame, and membership in the International Game and Fish Association. WITH THEIR UNDIVIDED atten- tion, Miss Ward teaches her class the fine art of fishing.

She is Christiane Sweeney, assistant French professor and French native. Mrs. Sweeney was born and raised in Paris, where she graduated from high school and met the man who became her husband, an American soldier serving in WWII. On his return to the United States in 1948, Mrs. Sweeney accompanied him and enrolled at West Virginia University to become a teach- er. Upon graduation, she be- came a graduate assistant at the university and later a member of the staff. In 1970, she was hired to teach advanced courses in French at FSC. I knew I would have a lot more freedom at Fairmont, said Mrs. Sweeney. The Alliance Francaise de Fairmont State, a chapter of the international Federation of French Alliances of America, was founded by Mrs. Sweeney, in 1972. Her main reason for enjoying her job so much is that it enables her to stay in- formed of what is going on in her native country. Although she enjoyed the American way of life and the advantages of being a U.S. citi- zen, French food is what I miss more than anything else, said Mrs. Sweeney, especially the crusty loaves of bread. As often as possible, Mrs. Sweeney returned to France, where she visited her parents, and delighted in becoming reacguainted with her former lifestyle, and a culture that she continues to pass on to her stu- dents. PARAPHERNALIA FROM FRANCE, such as this map of the city of Paris, adorn Madame Sweeney ' s office. Faculty 149 Eighty years of practical experience lost at Fairmont State 1983 saw the retirement of three members of Fairmont State ' s staff who among them had 80 years of experience working here. Leaving were Mrs. Melva Hess, coordinator and profes- sor of home economics for the Technology Division; Dr. Mar- tha Miller, director of nursing; and Marshall Parker, painter for the Physical Plant Depart- ment. Mrs. Hess retired after 32 years of teaching experience at FSC. During that time, she was active in consumer affairs and nutrition, and organized sum- mer workshops at FSC to im- prove school lunch programs. She received her baccalau- reate degrees in home eco- nomics at FSC and master ' s de- FOR HIS 31 YEARS of service, this certificate is presented to Marshall Parker, Physical Facili- ties staff, by his fellow workers. gree from West Virginia University. She also attended Marshall, Georgia, Texas Christian, Morehead, Purdue, and Cornell Universities. Be- fore coming to FSC, she taught at Fairmont Junior High and WVU during summer sessions. In addition to teaching, Mrs. Hess had been involved in many civic organizations, and she enjoys traveling. However, she enjoys teaching most. My most important aim is to work for the students ' interest, she said. The one thing that she would miss the most was the students, she added. Dr. Martha Miller came to Fairmont State in 1964, and became the first director of the associate degree nursing pro- gram, in which the number of graduates in each class has tri- pled since its start. She retired after 1 7 years teaching at FSC. Dr. Miller obtained her nurs- ing degree gualifications from Fairmont General Hospital di- ploma program and worked as a physicians nurse before join- ing the U.S. Navy in 1942. Following her military ser- vice, Dr. Miller received her B.S. in nursing from the Uni- versity of North Carolina and her master ' s degree from Case Western Reserve in Cleveland. At the time she started the nursing program here, she was acguiring a doctorate at Co- lumbia University in New York. Dr. Miller taught nursing courses at various hospitals and at WVU before coming to FSC. She said that teaching had always been something I wanted to do ... When the two-year program here was in the making I knew it was what I wanted. Marshall Parker also retired after working as a painter on the FSC physical facilities for 3 1 years. Among the list of du- ties he had were the painting and upkeep of the tennis courts, the football field and snow removal. Parker, a Man- nington resident, was active in the Marine Corps and the pot- tery business before his em- ployment at FSC. He planned to spend his time hunting and fishing after he retired. The students come first. If it weren ' t for them, we wouldn ' t have a job, Parker said. 1 50 Retirees WITH HIS MONEY TREE on the table given to him by his co-work- ers, Marshall Parker thanks them for the reception. Retirees 1 5 ] Distinguished Speakers Fairmont State College had four distinguished speakers this year — newsman Max Robinson, Gov. Jay Rockefel- ler, and two sport standouts, Washington Redskins ' player Mark May, and retired Pitts- burgh Pirate first baseman Wil- lie Stargell. Two other political figures, Allan Mollahan and John McCuskey, also visited FSC. Max Robinson, ABC ' s World News Tonight an- chorman, spoke to a packed house in Wallman Hall, Oct. 6. Robinson touched briefly on many topics as most of the pro- gram was a guestion and an- swer forum. The Tylenol incident and the media were the subject of much discussion. He felt that, given the information, people could make their own deci- sions as to what course of action to take. In closing, he said that the reason he felt secure in doing LUNCH was one of the activities Willie Stargell participated in while on campus. Stargell is shown here with FSC president and faculty. the part of his job that reguired him to relay terrible stories to the public was that people can progress and only by progress can people really be proud of what they have. The next speaker was Gov. John D. Rockefeller IV, who visited FSC Feb. 24, to take part in the Marion County ' s Governor Appreciation Day. He visited three area high schools and residents of Fair- mont Arbors before coming to FSC for a dinner held in his honor at the Dining Hall. In an interview with The Columns news editor, Lisa Webb, the governor explained some of his views on state and county issues. One issue of major im- portance he discussed was cut- backs in higher education. It ' s a matter of law. Through a recent Supreme Court rul- ing, I am forced to cut every agency egually with the excep- tion of elementary and secon- dary education, he said. Gov. Rockefeller also stated that he has asked that higher educa- tion receive the greatest bud- get increase in 1984. The third speaker, Mark May, offensive guard of the Su- per Bowl Champion Washing- ton Redskins, spoke at the FSC Alumni Letterman ' s Associ- ation Banguet on April 16. May was a first-round 1981 draft pick of the Redskins and winner of the 1980 Outland Trophy, awarded to the na- tion ' s top interior lineman. He was also named first team Ail- American selection at Pitt by AP, UPI, Sporting News, Foot- ball Coaches, Football Writers and College and Pro News weekly. The final speaker was Willie Stargell, retired Pittsburgh Pi- rate first baseman, who gave an inspiring talk on life in general. He had a very positive outlook on life and hoped that every- one else did also. Stargell used commitment phrases like I will, I would. He strove to make each day accountable and sought something new in every day. In his retirement from professional sports, Star- gell planned a variety of activi- ties. The two politicians who spoke were candidates for the First District seat of the United States House of Representa- tives. Republican John McCuskey, spoke Sept. 23, to Dr. Michael Fulda ' s Political Science 103 classes. One issue discussed was federal aid for education. He said that he favored return- ing aid to a level that will help people in need of college edu- cation who cannot afford it. Democrat Allan Mollahan, who also spoke to the same classes on Oct. 7, said that he too supports federal aid for higher education. He also stat- ed that cuts in aid would espe- cially effect small colleges. 1 52 Speakers ON OCTOBER 6, Max Robinson, anchorman for ABC News, ad- dressed students and faculty at Wallman Hall.

Speakers 1 53 In Organizations rise I know that FSC has a lot of organizations, but how are they a rise above the ordinary? You ' re right about having a wide range of organizations. Students joined such organizations as ROTC, Baptist Campus Ministry, Masquers, Greeks, SAM and honoraries. These groups helped keep students involved. Charity drives, fund raisers, banquets and weekly meetings filled their schedules. At the beginning of the year, each organization set goals, and met them to the best of their ability. These groups formed, for whatever reason, made organizations a rise above the ordi- nary. FSC BANDMEMBER Denise Fluharty knows that the more practice the better you are. ABOVE THE ORDINARY- Organizations 1 55 . . . Organizations For the past two years, with decline in the membership of the Delta Omicron chapter of Alpha Delta, field counselors from the national fraternity vis- ited the campus to consult with the sorority members to try to help. In the spring of 1 982, the chapter had nine members and questions about folding the FSC chapter emerged. Na- tional decided to give the members until the fall of 1 982 to increase their membership. Alpha Xi Delta went into fall rush with six members and very little interest in pledging. On Nov. 1, 1982, national officials withdrew the organiza- tion from the Delta Omicron due to a lack of campus inter- est. The current six members then became alumnae mem- bers. ALPHA XI DELTA — T.

Well, you see, without the cooperation of the community people in the Friendly City, we would really be hurtin ' and probably kind of bored. You know it ' s like we kind of scratch one another ' s backs if you can understand. There are the Masquers ' Town and Gown Players ' produc- tions throughout the school year and summer that invite com- munity people to participate in some of the finest dramatic productions that Fairmont has ever seen. And, then, of course, there wouldn ' t be a lot of students here if it weren ' t for a bunch of people in the community who open their apartments and property for college student rental. Likewise, the college ' opens its doors ' to the various high schools and organizations in the spring for proms, music fests and competitions to name a very few. And, let ' s not forget the Elderhostel program that FSC hosts each summer — every generation is involved in some way at FSC. So, you can see that there ' s really a great deal of pulling together in the community and FSC. But, it shouldn ' t surprise you that we here in Fairmont give what it takes to rise above the ordinary — teamwork.

L. Witt COLOPHON The 1983 yearbook staff chose the theme a rise above the ordinary. This theme was carried out on the cover through the use of graphic design in process blue on a white litho back- ground. Each section of the 200-page book has different headline treat- ments. The student life section ' s headlines are set in Century Schoolbook 60 pt. and the subheads in 1 8 pt. Korinna extra bold 36 pt. was chosen for the headlines in the academic section and Korinna 18 pt. for subheads. The sports section ' s headlines, set in Stymie bold 30 pt., are accented by a drop initial letter set in 48 pt. Subheads used are placed in Stymie bold 14 pt. The people section ' s headlines are set in Stymie 30 pt. All body copy is set in 10 pt. Stymie and captions in 8 pt. Class portraits were taken by Davor Photo, Inc., of Bensalem, Pa. Portraits and color prints were processed by Davor. Yearbook printing was done by Herff Jones Yearbooks, Gettys- burg, Pa. The book is lithographed on 80 pound Ainsworth paper and is smyth sewn, rounded and backed. Special THANKS TO Donna Merrifield Bob Suppa Bob Hefner Rachel Merrifield Ron Boram Times- West Virginian Index 1 97 A Rise Above . . . You know, through all the things that happened at Fairmont State during 1982-8 3 I found that you ' re right. Right about what? You told me about the events that occurred during the past year, the budget cuts, Nickel activities, the fads like E.T., Valley girls and the ending of MASH. You also told me about stu- dent life, academics, sports, people, FSC and the com- munity, and the index. With all this information that you ' ve provided, I can now see how this year really was a rise above tbe ordinary. AN ARMY OUTFIT with a few added features provides this student with a scary costume for the Halloween Dance.
