However, the campus wasn ' t the only thing going uphill. The 1984-85 year carried Fairmont State College to new heights in scholastic and athletic excellence. Stu- dents sensed this as they took more advantage of what the college on the hill had to offer. In addition, incoming students provided continuation of the steady progress the college has enjoyed in the last decade. Several academic programs also took steps forward. The education division made plans to increase en- trance requirements and make competency testing mandatory in 1985-86. Several new courses were add- W SHF- ' -l • ' ?V ' ' VvS A« W ' - ' . essential ' ?■ --Jjk i 1 i ed to the Foundations curriculum, thus advancing it into the computer age. The nine academic divisions all welcomed new faculty to their ranks. College wasn ' t all work even though students had the same time problems as usual - how to compose a 500 word term paper, finish a chemistry assignment and still get to work on time. Students had more op- portunities for fun in 1984-85 than ever before. £. - • __ ,,, ' ) ■ ' SI.JII14 iiri car wash at tl . fool ol the hill.

There were also special guests sponsored by differ- ent campus organizations ranging from a United States senator to renowned poets. Even top entertainer Cyndi Lauper showed up in November and not only the girls had fun. Breakdanc- ing experienced a climb in popularity that year when FSC broke into the new school year with the New York City Breakdancers. For those who preferred more standard activities the HPER Division offered a physical conditioning workout program for faculty. One of the biggest climbs of 1984-85 was the dra- matic increase in intramural participation. Thirty percent more students took part in basket- ball, volleyball, badminton and other events than last year and six new teams were formed. Also, more peo- ple than ever came to support their teams. FSC ' s swimming team had its greatest season ever. When the foam cleared, both the men ' s and women ' s teams were highly ranked overall .nationally. riN(« Ihemtelve « Into human relg ii rai U 600 I s sin!. ..i-. .mi iiipi to i • -! the world record (or Twitter p«i n.

The men ' s and women ' s basketball teams also fared well. The Lady Falcons battled their way to third place in the West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Confer- ence tournament and the men reached the state con- ference finals. New organizations appeared on campus, too, such as the Collegiate Singers, an off-shoot of what was formerly the Collegiate choir and the Falcon marching band added a flag corps to its ranks during the march- ing season. Homecoming, however, took a step back, specifical- ly into the 1950 ' s, that is, as students donned apparel of that era to participate in the weeklong activities, appropriately called Happy Days . Overall, it had been a year of reaching new heights for the friendly college on the hill. The extra efforts assured students, faculty, administration, staff, alumni and everyone concerned that Fairmont State College would continue its steady climb into the future. w% it %3 ' % i ■   Todd Jollll itw« n clasae In th Turlry •t the Weslyan game puts Shana Duckworth into the spirit of Mom. ...nil,. | Steady Climb • 7 8 • Student Life Divider Student Life As spring approached, students began to enjoy the last days of school From freshman orientation in August until graduation in May, FSC students were involved in numerous events. Whether it was Homecom- ing, plays, guest speakers, dances, banquets or concerts, there was always something for stu- dents to do. Happy Days served as the theme during Homecoming week. Students participated in such activities as a sock hop, twister game and float competition. Theresa Piscitelli was crowned the 1984-85 Homecoming queen. Throughout the year many guest speakers appeared on cam- pus. They included such names as Ray Meyer, former head bas- ketball coach at Depaul University, civil rights leader Dr. Ralph Abernathy and John Malloy, author of the book Dress for Success. At the fall concert held in November, Cyndi Lauper and the Bangles performed before over 3,800 fans in the Feaster Center. The FSC Masquers entertained students through various play productions such as Annie, Gigi, The Diviners, and A Doll ' s House. The campus Nickel provided a number of activities for students which ranged from card playing and dances to social gatherings and just relaxing. Not only did students rely on school activities, but they also enjoyed activities of their own. In their spare time, students used the swimming and racquetball facilities at the Feaster Center, shopped at the malls, visited the local establishments or just plain relaxed in their dorms or at home. As spring approached and the warm weather began to break after a long winter, the campus started to swarm with students enjoying the last few days of the school year. With graduation signaling the end of the semester, 600 seniors made plans to start off their careers. w TANNING SLOWLY, Pat- ty King relaxes between orientation planning ses- j slons during freshman counselor camp at Jack- son ' s Ml A helping hand When thinking back to the first day of high school, do you remember how lonely and overwhelmed you were in the new environment? Now remembering the first day here at Fairmont State, didn ' t you feel the same? No matter where you came from, getting acquainted with college life seemed impossible. Every facet of college life needs some guidance and Freshman Orien- tation is no exception. This guidance is provided by up- perclassmen who are counselors to aid newcomers in the start of college life. Seventy counselors were chosen from approximately 100 applicants based on personality, grades, community and college activities by William Bailey and Michael Bel- mear, Student Affairs counselors. L L A freshman counselor is • a role model. He must a be able to show empa- thy and project confidence. We feel it ' s an important time on campus and we ' re lucky that we get the cream of the crop of freshman counselors. And it is important to realize that this is strictly a volunteer project and the counselors give it their all, agreed Bailey and Belmear. Freshmen counselors attended a training session Aug. 19 and 20 at Jackson ' s Mill to learn to work as a team and how to generate and limit conversation. The focal point was how to involve quiet students to make them feel like they belong. A freshman counselor is a role model, said Bailey. He must be able to show empathy and project an image of confidence with which he can best assist freshmen in their transition to college life.

After a warm welcome from the freshman orientation committee on Wednesday, Aug. 21, freshman settled into dorms and then attended a picnic on the hillside and broke into groups. A variety show was provided for en- tertainment. On Thursday, a dance was held featuring the New York City Breakdancers with WVAQ of Morgantown ra- dio station FM 102 providing the music. The following day the freshmen counselors patiently helped everyone through the long lines of registration. That evening freshmen and counselors relaxed at a pool party at Wave Tek with music provided by WVAQ. Monday evening students enjoyed an outdoor concert with Stark Raven before starting classes the next day. Through the activities provided, lonely people met lonely people, making new friends and learning the rou- tine of their new environment. For freshmen, it ' s their first time away from home and we are the first people they will know and the first impression they have of the college, summarized Tim Watson, a counselor for two years.

As Homecoming week approached on campus. Student Government officers selected a theme and made preparations for the activities. The era of the ' 50 ' s and Happy Days were chosen to rep- resent the 1984 event. The festivities began on Tuesday, Sept. 25, with a banquet for queen candidates in the Dining Hall. That evening, a sock hop got un- derway in the Turley Center Ballroom. To gain entrance, students had to dress in ' 50 ' s clothes. Bob Hank served as disc jockey, playing ' 50 ' s music. The sock hop featured dance and best-dressed con- tests. Also, a practice game of Twister took place to 4 4 A b° ve average turnout for Homecoming made it a success.

The game of Twister was held on the lower football field on Thursday with approximately 600 people participating. That evening the Homecoming parade with queen can- didates, floats, marching bands and parade marshall, Bill McLaughlin of Community Bank Trust made its way down the main streets of Fairmont.

Campus Events • 21 Nickel: Campus social center a E Student recreational activities had their focal point in the Turley Center, usually referred to as the Nickel. Under the direction of Stan Groves it provided a variety of activities, coordinated by Brian Winiesdorffer. Each year it seems attendance at the recreational activities which we provide for the student body keeps rising. This is due in large measure to the hard work and dedication of activities coordinator Brian Winiesdorffer, said Groves. This past year was no exception, and because of this success, we are now looking for ways we can expand the activities we will provide in the future ' Ranging from movies to competitions, special events, and the Thursday evening dances, these activities gave for the students a break from the academic world. As fall began, an Activities Fair was held to help famil- iarize students with campus organizations. In October, students enjoyed Hal- loween with a chilling film festival and dance. A backgammon tournament and. College Bowl highlighted November while a Christmas dance and video game tournament were held in December. The student center sponsored a ping-pong tournament in January, a spades tournament in February, and foose- ball tournaments in March. The annual beach party, with over 100 prizes given away, a chess tournament and spring dance were the final activities for the 1985-86 school year. ach year it seems atten- dance at the recreation- al activities we provide students keeps rising.

Clad in cap and gown and sur- rounded by an atmosphere of formal- ity and tradition, graduates, for the 114th time in the history of the col- lege, walked away from the commencement ceremony the proud owners of various degrees which marked their stay at FSC. The excited graduates contained their enthusiasm dur- ing the two-hour ceremony which began with an invoca- tion offered by the Rev. James Johnson of the First Baptist Church and was followed by the guest speaker, The graduation ceremo- ny is our principal for- mal recognition of students ' accomplishments. Chief Justice of the West Virginia Court of Appeals, Richard Neely. Neely, a 1967 graduate from the Yale Law School, a military veteran and the author of several books, told graduates that the United States is still a land of opportunities. He ac- knowledged the fact that the econo- my was declining, in his commencement address, but encouraged them not to be pessimistic. Times are harder now than they were in your parent ' s generation because the nature of the economy is chang- ing, Neely said. What all of this means is not that opportunity is foreclosed to you, but that a rising tide is no longer lifting all boats.

Finally you must cultivate enthusiasm - the most high- ly recompensed of all qualities - for enthusiasm will allow you to enjoy what you are doing, to think creatively about how to do things better and to rejoice in your accomplishments, Neely concluded. After Neely ' s speech, Dr. H. Dean Peters, vice presi- dent for academic affairs, presented the degree candi- dates and President Wendell Hardway conferred the de- grees. Dr. B.G. Dunn, registrar, presented diplomas, 106 to seniors who graduated with honors, and the ceremony came to a close. The graduation ceremony is our principle formal rec- ognition of students ' academic accomplishments. We try to plan, organize and stage the ceremony so the parents and friends of graduates will be satisfied with the recogni- tion of their graduate. It is a nice time of the year and we try to make it a special time with the speaker, the music and the color, said Dr. Dunn. The jubuliant graduates and their families and friends left the Feaster Center with cameras wildly clicking, ea- ger to capture the tears of joy and sorrow, reluctant to let the moment pass. The graduates, basking in the limelight of their special day, proceeded to the Turley Center Ballroom for a reception.

The Nickel, in the Turley Center, with its snack bar, video arcade, big screen TV lounge and student room was a popular stu- dent hangout. The Greek room located in the rear section of the Nickel was a per- fect place for fraternities and soror- ities to meet and socialize. Although the bar on campus was closed, according to Turley Center director Stan Groves, due to lac k of interest, Mr. G ' s, the Plaza Lounge, Danny ' s, Joe ' s and The Pub fre- quently overflowed with students. East Garden Lanes, Sigma Pi fraternity house and the lobby of Morrow Hall proved to be popular haunts. Of course students could be found in the library using the advanced microfich system and receiving help from the library staff. Physical fitness, popular nationwide, was a daily pas- time for many. The pool, weight room, racquet ball and tennis courts were open to students and were extensively A NIGHT OUT, Lana Chenoweth share an ice Lounge. used.

McDon- ald ' s had McNuggets and the ever changing Bonanza salad bar fed many a student. And if these places were of ' no interest, there was always cooking at home. The Meadowbrook Mall gave ev- eryone a new place to walk to lose weight and spend cash. The Middle- town Mall remodeled its interior to draw more of the local business. But the bookstore was a more convenient place to shop. Students stayed up late on the weekends watching Night Flight ' s Cult Classics. G Men Forever, Andy Warhol ' s Dracula and Frankenstein and Reefer Madness were repeated over and over throughout the year. Midterms jolted students back into the reality of why they came to FSC, class.

Well, what do teachers do with their free time? According to a facul- ty survey the number one pastime of teachers seemed to be farming or gardening. Physical fitness and other related activities were big vote get- ters. Travel, photography and music were also at the top of the list. There were also many instructors who had other intersting or different hobbies. Collecting old French postcards and old French and English greeting cards was a favorite pastime of Christiane Sweeney, associate professor of language and literature. Michael Belmear, student affairs counselor, enjoyed writing poetry. In addition to teaching full time, Dr. Rebecca Schaupp, ACCURACY is a vital asset in wine making.

John Ashton, asso- ciate professor of fine arts, enjoyed wine making while Dr. Dorothy Wedge, professor of edu- cation made peanut butter cookies as a hobby. Hobbies need not always be tangible. Professor of fine arts Barry Snyder ' s answer reflected more of a philosphi- cal view, I have no hobbies; my interest is becoming the absolute.

Faculty Hobbies • 33 34 •Academics Organizations Academics Organizations Classes and clubs blend to uniquely enrich student life Each year students enter college striving for Jm knowledge which is the major responsibility of ■■ } j the Office of Academic Affairs. Headed by Vice President H. Dean Peters, nine various academ- ic divisions, including Commerce, Education, Fine Arts, Health Careers, Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Safety, Language and Literature, Technology, Science and Math, and Social Science, various departments and complementary student organizations help fulfill each student ' s goal in life. Sixty-six four-year degree programs, 44 minor concen- trations, 32 two-year degrees and 3 one-year certificate programs offered students a wide range of study fields to help them reach these goals. Each division has its own regulations which makes it unique. Some students gain knowledge as well as receive practical experi- ence in their field. A diversity of faculty members in each division helps to enhance each student ' s learning experience. While academics stand as the basis for which students attend college, organizations play an important role as well. Many stu- dents leave family, friends, and familiar surroundings to attend FSC. Through organizations students find new friendships that help them to grow and become better individuals. Many students participated in the organizations offered at Fairmont State be- cause they give them a sense of security and belonging. Organiza- tions can help students strive for leadership ability which helps them to achieve the goals of their dreams. Without organizations, most students would probably consider college life unexciting. With the variety of academic divisions and organizations that FSC offers, graduates should be prepared to meet the demands of their profession. .v, •■?,.. • m . ' ■,.

While some students faced the prob- lem of deciding how to spend their free time on weekends, one group on cam- pus tackled the task of planning activi- ties for the whole student body. This group was Student Government. Led by president Fred Matzke, vice president Tim Watson, secretary June Taylor, and treasurer Rick Hawkin- berry, this group took on the responsi- bility of coordinating parades, dances, concerts, forums and other events. Their first major project was Home- coming Sept. 24-29. Activities included a sock hop, banquet for queen contes- tants, the movie American Graffitti shown drive-in style in the ballroom, and Thursday evening ' s parade. The queen ' s court was also chosen that eve- ning at a semi-formal dance. Students voted for the queen and freshman attendant on Friday. Repre- senting Sigma Sigma Sigma, Theresa Piscitelli was crowned queen at the half- time ceremonies of the West Virginia Wesleyan game Saturday afternoon. Melissa Bailey was chosen as freshman attendant. Student Government then faced meeting the biggest demand of the stu- dents: a concert. A capacity crowd turned out at the Feaster Center Nov. 5 to bop with the- pop artist Cyndi Lauper and the Ban- gles, a punk band as warm-up. Student Government also hosted Frank Gannon, the only reporter to in- terview Richard Nixon during the Wa- tergate crisis, Ralph Abernathy, a co-worker of Martin Luther King, the Joeffry Ballet, and jazz group Spyro Gyra. Proceeds from the public sales of the concert were donated to the United Way. All events were free to FSC students. In addition to campus clean up days, Student Government also helped many local charities. Students were asked to bring canned food, donated to the Salvation Army, to the Chirstmas Dance.

But with anniversa- ries, as the number increases, so does the excitement. During the academic year 1984-85, both student publications observed im- portant anniversaries. The Columns, school newspaper, completed 61 years of production, while the Mound, student yearbook, published its 75th edition. Through a story published in the Columns and the Times-West Virgin- ian, the 61st year celebration was brought to everyone ' s attention. For- merly known as the Fairmont Normal School Bulletin, the staffers changed the name to The Columns, in Decem- ber 1923 because it contained more local color and was more emblematic of the school. In 1923, Carlye Smail served as the editor of the small paper which served 260 students. However, during the two academic semesters of 1984-85, Terri Boggs and Duane Cochran shared the editorial responsiblities for a paper that now reaches over 5,000 people. Unlike its sister publication, the Mound ' s Diamond Anniversary went unnoticed. Except for staff members, no one knew it was the publication ' s 75th printing. Throughout the year, staffers searched through old copies to find new ideas to improve the book. Of course, as with any fashion or style, yearbook styles have changed drasti- cally over the past 75 years. With the 1984 edition of the Mound receiving a first class rating with one mark of dis- tinction from the Associated Collegiate Press, yearbook editor Rick Brooks has high hopes for his publication. I want this year ' s book to be even better than last year ' s, both graphically and journalistically, he said. It is hard to compare yearly volumes because of the changing styles, but considering the changes made over the past 75 years many more better edi- tions are sure to come. The publication staffs are not limited to journalism students as any Fairmont State College student is eligible to apply. The Society for Collegiate Journal- ists, a journalism honorary, inducted five new members into the club during the 1984-85 school year. The Society was involved in the West Virginia Scholastic Press Associ- ation workshop held annually at FSC as well as actively participating on both the newspaper and yearbook staffs.

Social opportunities GREEKS With an increased interest in the cam- pus Greek organizations, the Greek sys- tem continued as an important facet of college life. The three women ' s organizations, Delta Zeta, Phi Mu and Sigma Sigma Sigma, and three men ' s organizations, Theta Xi, Sigm Pi and Tau Kappa Epsi- lon, each saw an increase in their rosters. Sigma Pi opened the fall semester with a smoker that focused on brother- hood and netted them 19 pledges for the semester during which the fraternity held a United Way fund raiser and do- nated to the Cancer Fund and American Lung Association. The fraternity also served as big brothers for Stepping Stone Foster Home. Through the past two years, in working with Stepping Stone, we have acted as an unsanctioned big brother program. This involved various activi- ties with the boys through the active members of the fraternity, stated Tim Ross, fraternity president. In the spring the brothers held car washes and their Feb. 4 smoker helped the fraternity pick up 10 pledges for the semester. Tau Kappa Epsilon ' s 70 members cel- ebrated their 25th year anniversary at FSC in 1984. With a September smoker the fraternity secured 13 pledges. In December the Tekes rang bells for the Salvation Army in Fairmont. The brothers of Tau Kappa Epsilon collected over $1,000 for Easter Seals, becoming the charity ' s largest local money collector. We hope to better that mark every year we participate, said J.D. Hoover, president. The brothers closed out the year with the annual three-day hog roast, a re- union for alumni and actives. Twenty-eight Theta Xi brothers start- ed the fall semester with a smoker fea- turing skits by little sisters and speeches by officers explaining various fraternity aspects. The smoker helped the broth- ers gain seven pledges. In November, along with Phi Mu fra- ternity, Theta Xi held the annual dinner for Marion County senior citizens. The spring semester opened with four brothers representing Kappa Gamma chapter at the fraternity ' s regional con- ference in Philadelphia. Six men pleged Theta Xi in the spring.

Social Opportunities While students attended classes and did their homework last year, 47 women became Greeks. The women who decided to join a sorority first had to decide which organi- zation they preferred. With the help of fall and spring rush, a time for sororities to advertise what they offered to pro- spective members, each sorority gained new members. Totals for last year show 16 women joined Delta Zeta, 13 chose Phi Mu, and 18 pledges increased Sigma Sigma Sig- ma ' s membership. Rush themes added flavor and fun to the festive parties and skits put on by the organization members. Delta Zeta used their Rainbow Connection theme to pledge 10 women while Phi Mu ' s kicked up their heels at their Touch O ' Country fall rush and obtained nine pledges. Sigma ' s slumber party influ- enced 12 girls to snuggle up to the sis- ters of Sigma Sigma Sigma. The spring semester brought new members to the sororities. Delta Zeta ' s Greek Toga theme enabled them to ob- tain six members and Phi Mu received four pledges at their Hawaiian Luau. Sigmarella, Sigma ' s theme, helped them acquire six new pledges. Pledges later became active members and involved in activities that constantly benefited the sorority, the community and the individual. Yard sales, parent weekend, senior day, a pledge dance and Christmas caroling were some events Delta Zeta sisters participated in. Phi Mu held car washes and yard sales to raise money and celebrated their 133th birthday since Phi Mu ' s founding in 1852. Sigma Sigma Sigma supported Fairmont General Hospital ' s Children ' s ward, held car washes and had a tag day for their national philanthropy. Beyond the activities, each sorority offered something deeper. Phi Mu has shown me the true meaning of friend- ship. We have shared both good times and bad, and I know when ever I am in need of a friend they will be there, said Phi Mu active Sharon Maditz. A sorority isn ' t a social organization. A sorority is a family, which, regardless of time or distance, is always there when needed. The girls aren ' t just friends, they ' re sisters, stated Delta Zeta alum- nus Karen Hill. 42 • Greeks PACKED to the rafters.

Service to self and man GROUPS Fairmont State offers a wide variety of interests to its students, both in the classroom and out with a wide selection when it comes to joining a club of service organization. It all depends on what the individual ' s interests are. Religious organizations on campus such as the Baptist Campus Ministry, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Inter- varsity Christian Fellowship, Navigators, Wheelers, Wesley Foundation and Christian Student Union teach and fol- low Bible principles as well as provide participation in recreational activities such as picnics and retreats. Helping out in the community was the major concern of the Circle K Club, a part of the K Family, which includes Ki- wanis, Keywanettes, Key Club and the Builders Club. Circle K members were involved in various charity and commu- nity projects in their desire to serve others. Also interested in helping the commu- nity and school was Alpha Phi Omega. In its third year at FSC, it is the largest international service fraternity. Accept- ing both men and women, members of the organization were involved in clean- up projects and in campus activities such as giving tours of the college. A social organization on campus, the Black Student Union, provided a meet- ing place for students to express their views and concerns to Student Govern- ment, as well as to participate in social activities. The Slippery Slats Ski Club, another social organization, offered students the opportunity to sharpen their on-the- slope skills. Students who preferred positions with responsibility, applied to work as Residence Assistants, and became part of the Women ' s Residence Judiciary Council. This disciplinary council for the women ' s dorm is comprised of all the Residence Assistants from Morrow and Prichard Halls, as well as the elected presidents and elected judicary council representatives from the two dorms. The council ' s duty is to review behav- ior and if necessary set penalities. These and other campus organiza- tions provided a variety of groups for students to participate in giving them a chance to mature socially as well as academically. 44 • Groups PICNICKING at Valley Falls.

How the market works Commerce The business world today requires people to know computers but it also requires them to deal with others in a professional manner. With so many schools just teaching computer courses, FSC ' s Commerce Division did not forget the human element. Of course, the Commerce Division also is well prepared in the computer field. Fifteen IBM personal computers became available in the fall of 1985, for use in word processing, accounting, per- sonal finance and other related courses. A collaberation of faculty and stu- dents analyzed results from a survey taken on campus in the fall of 1984. According to Dr. Robert Bowers, chair- man of Commerce Division, the survey was used to measure interest in comput- er courses and to give students an op- portunity to suggest improvements in the labs. The Commerce Division revised its curriculm with the basic objective — to better qualify students for graduate school and broaden exposure to disci- pline in commerce. An unique aspect of the division was the program dedicated to introducing seniors into the job market. Last fall Joan Lawrence, assistant professor of commerce, accompanied the students to a job fair in Charleston, where they met representatives from major ac- counting firms. A new course in business internship allowed teams of students to confront actual market research problems under faculty guidance. Dr. Edward Peters, co- ordinator of buisness administration, felt this course provided the opportunity for students to see how the market world works. Phi Beta Lambda, Society for Ad- vancement of Management and Future Secretaries Association are three orga- nizations sponsored by the Commerce Division. The student chapter of SAM, Society for Advancement of Management, with Mark Friend, associate professor of commerce as adviser, took many field trips to surrounding businesses and sponsored a trip to London, England to visit the business market. The president, Mac DeRiggi, was appointed as a repre- sentative to the national board of advis- ers. Only three were chosen in the country. The Marion County chapter of the Fu- ture Secretaries Association, sponsored by Professional Secretaries Internation- al helped members cope with secretarial duties and current issues through guest speakers. Dorothy Coffindaffer, asso- ciate professor of commerce served as adviser.

Today, it still maintains this high standard of teacher education offering one of the most com- prehensive elementary and secondary programs in the nation. Of the approxi- mately 900 students enrolled in teacher education, 250 graduated from the pro- gram this year and became teachers. The program began a period of transi- tion as West Virginia ' s education system underwent reoganization. The major difference for education students was the entrance requirements to the program, including academic competency testing with statewide cut- off scores. Another change involved the re- grouping of the educational levels as pre-kindergarten-kindergarten, early childhood (K-4) middle childhood (5-8), and adolescent (9-12). These levels cor- respond better to the developmental stages, according to the West Virginia Board of Education. Within the education department, the new licensure procedure included a se- ries of content specialization tests given to assure proficiency of future teachers. The education department was fully accredited regionally and nationally by all teacher education agencies and the program was enriched by the caliber of the students in the program, according to Dr. Harry Hadley, dean of teacher education. The program changed to fit the grow- ing needs of education today, but the quality of students remained the same. Dr. Hadley also stated that this transi- tion had been in the process for three years and a total of 33 states were going through similar changes. The Beta Omega chapter of Kappa Delta Pi, education honorary, inducted 70 members, during the year, according to Dr. William Phillips, faculty sponsor. Student Education Association, an or- ganization for students in education, aims at involving members in the issues of today ' s education. Members received education journals, magazines, and dis- counts on other subscriptions stated Erin Brumbaugh, senior elementary education major and 1985-86 SEA president. These organizations, like the division, stress high academic achievement, per- sonal standards, and ideals of scholarship.

FSC students enjoyed the summer production of Annie, the fall produc- tions of Gigi and New Faces of ' 84, and the spring productions of The Di- viners and A Doll ' s House. Also appearing at Wallman Hall the- ater was the Joffrey Ballet Center Con- cert Group. The debate team, directed by Michael Overking, associate professor of speech communication and theatre, was active in regional tournaments, including Penn State, James Madison, Old Dominion, and George Mason Universities, and the College of William and Mary. The music department provided the division with a fresh sound with many concerts throughout the year. The art gallery was used for senior and class exhibits, photography shows, art shows and competitions. In addition, Rick Morris, graduate of Maryland Art Institute and FSC and Judy Hokan- son, local artist, exhibited their works. The first bronze casting workshop was held by Professor of Art Barry Sny- der in April 1985. Senior art students, Jackie Sprunger and Rick Brooks sub- mitted finished bronze works in the an- nual spring show. The annual spring art exhibit, April 19-May 3, featured student works in painting, sculpture, photography, de- sign, ceramics and drawing. The annual Art Gala held Feb. 23 raised funds for scholarships. A variety of vocal and instrumental musical per- formances and an art exhibit by faculty and students were featured. A gas fired reduction kiln was com- pleted in the summer of 1984. Fired at 2350 °F it was used for several high fire stoneware and porcelain firings. Students also experimented with the raku process of placing molten pottery into a combustible mixture. Sigma Alpha Iota, a music fraternity, Music Educators National Conference, and Delta Sigma Rho-Tau Kappa Alpha, forensics honorary, are three organiza- tions sponsored by the Fine Arts Division.

The musical Annie, directed by B.J. Sherman, associate professor of speech communication and theatre, drew a full house as Annie touched the hearts of people, both young and old, with the promise of a brighter tomorrow. The realistic performances of Shelley Rogan and Shannon Norman, who both portrayed Annie, as well as the other children and members of the cast brought happiness, sadness and laugh- ter to the audience. FSC students and faculty who made up part of the 60-member cast included Mary Beth Wilson, Rodney Gibbons, Tom Fitzgibbons, Jack Hussey, JoAnn Lough, Jack Wills, Brenda Sauro, Roger Carr, Mary Pat Connor, John Teahan, and George H. Turley. The Masquers began the fall season with the comedy, Gigi , also directed by Mrs. Sherman. Mary Beth Wilson portrayed a 16-year-old French girl in turn-of-the-century Paris where l ' amour was the preoccupation of the adult women. Gigi became a student of the art of romance. Jo Ann Lough, assistant professor of speech communication and theatre em- phasized the fact that students do not have to be theatre majors or have expe- rience in acting to audition for roles in a play. Ms. Lough directed a series of one- acts called New Faces of ' 84. Alice Doesn ' t Live Here Anymore, Anasta- sia, The Birthday of the Infanta, The Diary of Anne Frank, The Lark, and Liliom were among the plays that gave Tammy Swisher, Jayne Traugh, Brenda Sauro, Dave Harbert, Cindy Wolk, Melaney Conaway, Rich Myers, Jennifer Perry, Betsy Constable, Jane Quinn, Tara Clancey, Katherine Noto, Helen Patrick and Sherry Jones their starts on the Wallman Hall stage. Following New Faces of ' 84 came the Reader ' s Theatre, featuring the one- woman show, Eve ' s Daughters per- formed by Mary Beth Wilson and the one-act Masquer ' s performance of The Best Christmas Pageant Ever. 52 • Masquers Plays SOLILOQUISING during A Doll ' s House Sharene Sind- ledecker captivates the audience.

Cast of The Best Christmas Pageant Ever included Miss Wilson, Sharene Sindledecker, Betsy Constable, Cari Lie- bau, Don Raikes, Mark Isabella, Rich Myers, Ed Smalley and Sherry Jones. To start the spring season, the Masqu- ers presented the tragic drama A Doll ' s House, directed by Charles Swanson, professor of speech communication and theatre. In spite of the fact that FSC students didn ' t seem quite prepared for the seri- ous nineteenth century drama, Sharene Sindledecker, who portrayed the hero- ine Nora Helmer, Rich Myers, Mary Beth Wilson, Rodney Gibbons, Randy Rittenhouse, Dorothy Nine, Helen Pat- rick and Steve Hamilton gave outstand- ing performances. Miss Sindledecker, also a member of the award-wininng Oral Interpretation team gave one of her best performances of the year, portraying a woman break- ing the rules of the 19th century house- wife. After seven years of being treated like a doll by her husband, she leaves him. The Masquers wrapped up the year with the drama The Diviners, directed by Daniel Weber, associate professor of speech communication and theatre. De- picting a southern Indiana town in the early 1930 ' s, it is a story of a disturbed young man ' s deathly fear of water and how a befriended disenchanted preach- er tries to help him overcome that fear. The play featured John Bowyer, who portrayed the young boy Buddy Lay- man. He made his debut along with John Raimondo, who portrayed Melvin Wlider. John Fallon, a recent graduate appearing in previous Masquers perfor- mances, returned to portray the preach- er, C.C. Showers. The 1984-85 theatre season would not have been as successful as it was without the combined talents of people working behind the scenes, such as Jeff Gillis and Tammy Swisher. 54 • Masquers Plays DRAMATIC LIGHTING and costume draw atten- tion to The Lark from New Faces of ' 84 which featured Rich Myers and Jennifer Perry.

Stage Band members per- form free for FSC students and townspeople during their annual fall concert. A MOMENT OF EXCITE- MENT is climaxed by the playing of the fight song by FSC Marching Band after a touchdown and extra point at a home game at Rosier Field. MUSIC DEPARTMENT Practice and performances character- ized the year for vocal and instrumental musicians who comprised the Collegiate Singers, Falcon Marching and Concert Bands, Concert Brass Ensemble, Stage Band and Fairmont State College- Com- munity Symphony Orchestra. The Collegiate Singers, formed after the addition of music director Lee Brat- ton, began the fall semester with a per- formance at St. Peters Church in Fairmont and a raft trip the next day down the Youghiogheny River in Pennsylvania. The group performed at St. Peters Church, the Fairmont Rotary Club, the president ' s State of the College Dinner, Choral Festival, Winter Concert, Facul- ty Christmas Dinner, and First Presby- terian Church. Social events included bowling, square dancing and a Christmas party. The spring semester brought the addi- tion of the Chamber Choir, 15 members selected by audition from the Collegiate Singers. The Marching band, made up of 50 members, less than half of whom are music majors, performed at each home football game and one away game, Shepherd. The Concert Band, consisting basically of the same members, present- ed a concert in December. The band is under the direction of Dr. Harry Faulk. The Stage Band, directed by John Ashton, presented a concert December 5. They also hosted the Stage Band Fes- tival for area high school stage bands. The Fairmont State College-Commu- nity Symphony Orchestra began the season with a performance Nov. 8 fea- turing the celloist-soloist Carol Oliver Wasson. Under Ashton ' s direction, the symphony performed such pieces as Saint-Saens Cello Concerto No. 1 in A Minor Lutoslawski ' s Mala Suite and Anton Bruckner ' s Symphony No. 3 in D Minor. The symphony also per- formed at the Annual Concerto Concert April 14, featuring student trumpet so- loist Ben Wright. The Concert Brass Ensemble per- formed with the mass choir at the annual choral festival, and also performed its own recital. On March 21, the music faculty presented a recital to honor Ger- man composer J.S. Bach ' s 300th birthday. Three FSC music majors became Merit Scholars this year; Ben Wright, senior, Wendy Ruckle, sophomore, and Jeannette Benson, senior.

Practical field experience Health Careers The Division of Health Careers strives to maintain and enhance the quality of health care in West Virginia, said Dr. Paul Edwards, division chair- man and community college dean. Health Career programs constantly change to keep up with modern trends and technology, according to Dr. Edwards. Students don ' t just read about health care — they spend 300 hours or more observing and working in major hospi- tals and clinics in the area to gain knowl- edge as well as practical experience in their field. Patricia Wynd, instructor of the Medi- cal Laboratory Technology program, fa- miliarized her students with the latest information regarding toxic shock syn- drom and AIDS this year. Medical Laboratory Tech students at- tended the annual AMST convention at Pipestem for three days. The veterinarian assistant technology and the medical record technology de- gree programs are the only ones offered in the state. Job opportunities for both degree programs are excellent. All the 1983-84 graduates found jobs, said Marie Horvath, coordinator of medical records technology. Maybe we can have a real falcon for a mascot, said Dr. William Carpenter, coordinator of the veterinarian assistant program. Dr. Carpenter hopes to add a rehabilitation center that will house birds of prey in the future. The veterinarian technology students raised about $300 by giving dog baths this year. They attended the State Vet- erinarian Association held at the Green- briar. The students also helped the Human Society find homes for animals during National Pet Week held at the Middletown Mall. Nursing students took time out from their demanding schedules to parti- cipate in health fairs at the Middletown Mall performing blood pressure tests for Marion County residents. Students enrolled in the one-year emergency technology program learned basic emergency care, including treating cardie arrest and trauma patients. They are a unique bunch of individ- uals, said Leah Hynbach, paramedic training coordinator. There are four organizations in the Health Careers Division: Student Nurses Association, Student Veterinarian Tech- nology Association, Student Medical Laboratory Technology Association, and Student Medical Records Association. 58 • Health Careers GENTLY AND SKILLFULLY Dr. William Carpenter spreads the chest of a small dog for student observation during an autopsy in Hunt Haught Hall.

Health Careers • 59 CO o O a Competition students enjoy HPERS Chairman of the Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Safety Divi- sion, Colin Cameron described the HPERS program as being wide and di versified. He said people tend to asso- ciate physical education with athletics. When they think of a good athletic pro- gram they automatically associate that with a good physical educational pro- gram and visa versa. Intramurals and free play programs in combination with athletics contribute the element of com- petition that students enjoy, said Cameron. Dr. David Bohnke, physical education professor and cross country coach, in- troduced a faculty-staff fitness program in conjunction with physical education classes as a teaching station for educa- tion majors. It included a fitness study and an individual excerise program. Carolyn Crislip used various ways to teach elementary physical education. For example, students made inexpen- sive games and activities from house- hold objects like milk jugs. These projects, graded on the feasibility for specific age groups, also had to be safe, while exhibiting color and appealing design. Dr. Bohnke, who taught academically oriented classes, was concerned with de- veloping the realistic academic self- concept of the student, which he defined as what the individual says to himself about himself. Feeling it impor- tant to make his students feel good about what they were preparing to do in teaching physical education, he attempt- ed to illustrate the potential they have in the development of their future students. Randy Hess, instructor and assistant basketball coach, was Falcon Camp di- rector for the first time this past sum- mer. He felt the camp allowed FSC students to gain experience in camp ad- ministration and counseling. Students were involved in coordinating and mak- ing up the activities adequate for the various age levels. The HPERS Division replaced faculty who resigned before the beginning of the 1984-85 academic year. Newcom- ers included Ty Clark, assistant football coach; Carolyn Crislip, physical educa- tion instructor and cheerleading adviser; Wally Hood, head football coach; and Joe Lamboitte, physical education instructor.

The world is the greatest classroom, and there is no better way to learn about life than travel, said Judy Byers, assis- tant professor of English. Indeed, directly or indirectly, the mo- tif of travel was reflected in the various departments of the Language and Liter- ature Division. Researching material or studying cultural educational aspects of Germany, Spain or France in the foreign language department were subtle ways travel was introduced to students. However, enrolling in the overseas study program or participating in the English honorary ' s tour of Great Britian were international travel opportunities that directly influenced students as well as townspeople. The French foreign exchange student program, offered during the spring se- mester through West Virginia Univers- ity, has been in effect for FSC students for the last several years, according to Christiane Sweeney, associate professor of French. Mrs. Sweeney was the first faculty member to receive the William A. Boram award for teaching excellence. The opportunity to travel overseas was not limited to France. Dealing with the history, culture and attitude of the British people was the June tour of Great Britian, sponsored by Sigma Tau Delta, English honorary. Dr. Byers, sponsor of the trip said, It helps students gain so much knowledge from the practical experience of travel. Traveling, especially in the organized group form that we used, is the greatest teaching and learning device we have. Up to six hours of undergraduate credits were earned by taking the trip. For area teachers this meant in-service credit via continued education or teach- er renewal certification credit. The tour of Great Britian is the first of a series of six trips planned for each summer. It is a good opportunity for both. Division chairman Dr. Byron Jackson said This trip was for almost three weeks and so far, nothing of this magnitude has been done at the college. The Division sponsored Sigma Tau Delta, English honorary; Alliance Fran- ciase de Fairmont State College, French honorary; Society for Collegiate Jour- nalists; journalism honorary.

Our main goal is to graduate stu- dents who are up-to-date with current science and math knowledge, said Dr. William Ruoff, chairman of the Division of Science and Mathematics. To meet this goal, two special topic biology courses were taught this year along with an expansion of the divisions micro computer assets to four IBM per- sonal computers. While it is true that today ' s science and math majors are often tomorow ' s problem solvers, the students and facul- ty were not confined solely to textbooks and experiments. Both divisions went beyond the scope of the classroom set- ting with its formulas, laboratories, and mind-boggling problems, to outside activities. The faculty were involved in various outside functions ranging from assisting in the math and science fairs to writing articles for major magazines and publications. Biology students took a trip to the Pittsburg Zoo in the fall, and went on numerous camping excursions. Canaan Valley and Cathedral State Park were among some of the sites where students conducted their field work studies. Members of the student affiliate of the American Chemical Society and the biology honorary Beta Beta Beta kept busy throughout the year planning and attending activities which included stu- dent seminars, guest speakers, and topi- cal movies. Brain-buster problems were every- day challenges for math majors and mi- nors to solve. Calculus was only the beginning for students majoring in math — but considering the 100 percent employment awaiting the average 10 graduates a year it ' s a beginning worth finishing. One facet of the math division is the Math specialization 4 - 8 program. More students have graduated in this program this year than any other specialization. It ' s a good program, said Dr. Eliza- beth Frye, professor of mathematics. It frees high school teachers to teach the upper grades, while the specialization majors teach middle school. We try to convince math majors to minor in EDP, and the EDP department recommends its students take extra math courses, said Dr. James A. LaRue, mathematics coordinator. We believe we are on the right track, he concluded. INSTRUMENT CARE and op- eration become a major part of Biology 101 classes. 64 • Science Math REMOVING a core sample from a tree during a research venture in the Monongahela National Forest, biology ma- jor Matt Gall collects infor- mation for a paper.

Diversity of opinion SOCIAL SCIENCE Diversity of faculty is what makes the Division of Social Sciences different from the others at FSC, according to chairman Yu San Wang. This diversity of opinion enriches teaching in terms of dialogue among the faculty. Also, it helps lead to greater understanding on the part of students, he said. Approximately 230 students chose to major in four-year social science pro- grams, which include political science, criminal justice, psychology, history and social work. Eighty-five students majored in crimi- nal justice, making it the most studied field in the division. Criminal justice is a popular major because we are the only institution in north-central West Virginia that offers it, Dr. Wang said. Some changes are slated for the divi- sion ' s academic programs. The social work major, both the two and four-year programs, has been terminated. Present social work majors, however, will be able to obtain ' their degrees. To help prepare students for careers, field placement is required for criminal justice, psychology and social work ma- jors. Usually lasting one semester, stu- dents work in correctional institutions, hospitals, nursing homes and various so- cial service agencies. The division also sponsored two in- ternships. Under one, five students worked for various government agen- cies in Charleston each semester. The other was a one-week internship, enabling three to five students to work for the state legislature when in session. Although our division manages these internships, all students are eligi- ble for them, Dr. Wang said. During Dr. Wang ' s second semester sabbatical leave, Dr. Steven Gatrel served as acting division chairman. Dr. Gatrel retired at the end of the spring semester. The division sponsored four honorar- ies; Phi Alpha Theta, history; Pi Gamma Mu, social science; Alpha Phi Sigma, criminal justice; and Phi Kappa Phi, a general honorary which Dr. Patricia Ryan, professor of social science advises. Other organizations in the division were International Relations Club, Politi- cal Science Association, Young Demo- crats, Young Republicans and ROTC. 66 • Social Science FINAL EXAMS call for in- tense study.

Events ranging from the appointment of a new division chairman to the annual concrete canoe races at Penn State made the 1984-85 academic year a memorable one in the Technology Division. Dr. William Griscom, associate pro- fessor of technology at FSC since 1976, was appointed chairman of the division in September, replacing Dr. James Hales, now dean of the School of Ap- plied Science and Technology at East Tennessee State University. Our long-range goals include explor- ing new programs such as fashion mer- chandise and a cultural arts program for Home Economics, said Dr. Griscom. We want an improved facility manufac- turing program through computer-con- trolled equipment such as robotics to improve the division ' s computing abili- ty, he said. The division acquired a $250,000 col- or separator and worked to obtain a grant for several microcomputers and a computer numerical controlled lathe. Five faculty members added to the division in the fall included Gary Bo- lyard, technical education; Leonard Co- lelli, manufacturing technology; Gary Zickefoose, civil engineering; Chandra Gollapudy, electronics; and Beth Thome, clothing and textiles. Organizations within the division were very active this year. The Society of Mining Engineers toured Patroit Coal Co. ' s underground mine in Preston County in September and the Martinka 1 underground mine in Marion County in November and sponsored and orga- nized a job interview seminar for tech- nology students. The American Institute of Drafting and Design (AIDD) became the first West Virginia chapter of the National Computer Graphics Association during the spring. The move was designed to attract more students and enable them to become aware of industry changes. The organization sponsored the annual drafting contest for high school drafting students in the nine-county area around Fairmont to compete for over $42,000 in prizes. Epsilon Pi Tau, technology honorary fraternity, was also in transition. Profes- sors Walter Phillips, John Pheasant and Richard Whiteman were appointed co- trustees and Dr. Bacza was appointed trustee, suceeding recently resigned fac- ulty. Members took a field trip to Pratt- Whitney Co. in Bridgeport in early December and in the spring inducted new members.

Technology • 71 CO o o: O a Special programs Regents Interdisciplinary Enthusiasm for variety in baccalar- ueate degrees increased as some stu- dents enrolled in the Interdisciplinary and Regents special academic programs. Initiated in response to student re- quests for programs not offered at FSC, the Interdisciplinary Degree was de- signed for students whose career and educational goals were not satisfied by available major fields. To date, six students have completed degrees in this program, in which inter- est appears to have stabilized. Interest- ed persons were counseled initially to do intensive research into employment op- portunities and to check graduate study requirements in case additional course work was under consideration. Admission to the program required students complete at least one semester of academic work as full-time students with an average of 2.0 or better prior to beginning coursework. Application to the program was made between the end of the first semester and the beginning of the fifth semester of academic work. Students were advised that arranged courses should be avoided and that at least one-half of the hours in the concen- trated area must consist of upper divi- sion level courses. General studies requirements were determined by the first field of study. The quality of the Interdisciplinary Degree is maintained, according to its coordinator, Flora Petro, assistant to the academic vice president, by the in- volvement of division chairpersons, fac- ulty and the Academic Affairs Control Committee. The Regents ' B.A. Degree Program, in its tenth year, has graduted 332 appli- cants with 481 students still enrolled, according to Dr. William Phillips, coordi- nator and counselor. This tailormade program offered col- lege credit for those seeking career ad- vancement, a successive degree to an associate ' s degree, or an opportunity to gain intellectual development and per- sonal fulfillment. The Regents ' B.A. Degree is not an escape outlet for people who are not succeeding, Dr. Phillips said. Persons obtaining a Regents ' B.A. De- gree may gather more knowledge and hands-on training than the average college student because they are re- quired to demonstrate that what they have learned outside the school setting is applicable to their education.

The computers were used like work- books. Questions appeared on the screen and students typed in answers, which were graded and corrected by the computer. Programs for vocabulary building and general math were avail- able in 1984-85. Enrollment is up 30 percent over last year, Martha French, Foundations coordinator said. Eight hundred stu- dents enrolled in credit courses during the 1984-85 school year. Mrs. French said that this increase meant instructors could not provide as much individual at- tention, but the addition of more com- puters and the eventual relocation of the program to the second floor of Jaynes Hall will provide more space. Foundations offered courses in basic writing, basic reading, speed reading, vocabulary building, general math, pre- algebra, trigonometry and geometry, and Support Courses II. Assistance in student Skills and test-taking techniques were also available. Students took advantage of these courses as electives, while others want- ed to brush up on their skills before tak- ing higher level courses, or were advised to take them because of their ACT scores or high shcool grades. Mrs. French was appointed to suc- ceed Dr. Elizabeth Balser as Foundations coordinator last summer and was also named Information Coordinator for the State of West Virginia by the Center for Developmental Education at Appala- chian State University in North Carolina. Mrs. French and Brian Williams, ju- nior English major, wrote the computer program enabling the students to take tests on the computers. The program was designed to analyze each question the student missed and make a printout of the error and where information on that particular question can be found in the textbook. Mrs. French also wrote a Foundations program textbook which will be used in the course next year.

Foundations • 75 76 • People Divider People Students, faculty, staff are the heart and soul of the College on the hill A 2 percent increase in student enrollment meant an increase in personalities. Even the slightest increase changes things. Despite all the academic courses, organizations, and sporting activities, the people — students, faculty and staff — were the heart and soul of Fairmont State College. However, it took all kinds. From football, basketball and swimming All- Americans to the all-American beauty queens, FSC had a wide range of students. Of course, there were the honor students and the unhonored students that every college has. But many types of personalities floated in between. The spectrum varied from the quiet shy type of the freshman who just left home to the rowdy bunch of the fraternities and sororities. There were student body and organization leaders who took their first initiative as well as followers who took the second step and continued the project. There were even a few celebri- ties on campus. Ed Coleman and Tim Murphy and 13 swimmers were honored nationally in the NAIA for their contributions to their respective sports. And although not as widely known as his younger sister, Olympic star Mary Lou Retton, Donnie Retton was a sports star in his own way on the Falcon baseball team. And although many students were not as outgoing and as easily recognized on campus as others, they were no less important to building the image of the college. Their fame came in the class- room where they studied to be the administrators, artists, doctors, musicians, teachers, and writers of tomorrow. Though enrollment did not take a giant leap, any forward projection is good for the college. And it can be said that the STEADY CLIMB in enrollment over the past few years helped to add to the good atmosphere of FSC.

Pulice helped found the Theta Delta chapter of Tau Kappa Epsilon at Fairmont State College and helped affiliate it with the national association. He was also re- sponsible for the formation of the TKE Alumni As- sociation. During his 25 years as chapter adviser, Pulice initiated 617 members, organized formals and homecoming events and worked closely with the fraternity ' s elected officers. There were 617 men who have passed through this fraternity and he was a father away from home to every one of them, commented Jay DeSantis, TKE president. To most of us, Frank Pulice is the fraternity. During the 25 years that I was involved in the Greek system at Fairmont State College, it was my pleasure and privilege to work with many of my fellow advisers and I will cherish many fond memories, Pulice said during a speech at a reception held Oct. 18 in his honor. Pulice was chosen as 1977 ' s Top Chapter Adviser of TKE in the United States. Although retiring as chapter adviser, Pulice will remain on the TKE Board of Control, where he will continue to aid and guide the fraternity.

Brooks Duke Miecznikowski has a facination for clay. The whole process of producing an object excites me, starting with a lifeless lump of clay and creating finished works, the FSC pottery instructor said. Miecznikowski ' s pots can be found in arts and crafts fairs and galleries throughout the East and as part of permanent and private collections in Los Angeles includ- ing Kathrine Hepburn ' s. During the Carter Administration he was commis- sioned by the White House to do a 55-piece dinnerware set. I thought it was a practical joke when they first contacted me, said Miecznikowski. After being used in the White House , the set was sold to the West Virginia Archives for display. Miecznikowski, a potter since 1967, feels one of the exciting elements of pottery is having an audience. Not only can the work be expressive, but people are excited by watching. You do not fall asleep watching a potter at the wheel, he said. During Miecznikowski ' s graduate assistantship with Daniel Rhodes, internationally known author and potter, influenced him greatly. I remember the rush that surrounds the opening of a kiln and today I have that same excitement. Lately I have been fascinated with the raku process. The pots come out of a red hot glaze kiln and are immersed in combustible material, sometimes producing a metallic sheen which makes for an interesting surface. E. E. Peters, Ph.

I ' m a great believer that I ' m only as good a coach as the players I get, Hood explained, as he placed heavy emphasis on recruiting. From the beginning Hood told his players, Look, I ' m here for the rest of your lives. I have no desire to be a Division I assistant. I ' ve been there and I ' m not about to go back to that type of situation. Coach Hood came to Fairmont following a 10-year stint at Ohio Northern University, where his teams com- piled a 49-39-3 record. The 49-year-old mentor obtained a bachelor of arts degree in education from Ohio Wesleyan in 1957 and began his coaching career in Ohio by returning to his high school alma mater as assistant football and wrestling coach and head wrestling coach. After serving as assistant football and head wrestling coach at Ashland, he became head football coach at Olmstead Falls, followed by similar assignments at Defi- ance and Cuyoga Falls. During this time his teams com- piled a 47-24-2 record. Obtaining his master ' s degree from Kent State in 1966, Hood became a college coach at Baldwin-Wallace, and Colgate University ' s backfield coach before becom- ing the fourteenth coach in Falcon football history.

Barkley Fairmont, Elementary Education Wide receiver looking toward pros by Terri Boggs Ed Coleman has certainly proven his ability on the football field. The senior radio television communications and psy- chology major was named to the NAIA first team, WVIAC first team, Little American team, and Kodak All- American team. He is also the all-time leading receiver at FSC with 60 catches for 934 yards and 7 touchdowns and the leading receiver in the nation for 1985. Coleman began his FSC academic career in 1981 and his sports career in 1982 after being red-shirted because of injuries his freshman year. Since then it is obvious that he has acheived athletically but he has also maintained a 3.0 grade point average in his double major. Explaining the cohesion of his double major, the wide receiver said, Psychology is understanding the mind and behavior. This helps with broadcasting by knowing what attracts the attention of the viewer or listener. Knowing this I can better meet their needs. Coleman, a junior athletically, plans to return to the Falcon football team with a goal set for becoming a draft choice or free agent. But if football doesn ' t work out, some career possiblities for him are directing, producing, editing or sports commentating. He also plans to attend graduate school to study a relatively new and upcoming field, psychology-graphics. 86 • Adams-Barkley Seniors Klmberly A. Basnett Shinnston, Sociology - General Kevin A.

Aside from being a wife, mother, and student, she manages to have time to be an avid supporter of her husband ' s basketball team. Mrs. Cooper is a mother of three children, Chad, 9; Cassie, 7; and Courtney, 6. We live on a schedule that starts at 6:45 a.m. and ends at 1 or 2 a.m. Her children, above average students have other outside interests, en- abling her to carry a full load of classes, and pursue a degree in elementary education. Her decision to return to college came after four years of being a homemaker, and her love for young children. I decided to return to school to reach my self-actualiza- tion, she stated. I knew my children wouldn ' t always need mommy, and I wanted to have something to fall back on. Whenever she finds time, Mrs. Cooper enjoys photog- raphy, gardening and decorating. She is a member of Jayenne Elementary Association, where her children at- tend school, and the Easter Star Organization in her hometown of Petersburg, W. Va., Marion County Read- ing Council, Student Education Association, Kappa Delta Psi and Phi Gamma Mu. Even though she loves going to college, her family will always be her main concern. When asked her priorities, she stated, My children, my husband and his career, all come before mine. 88 • Closson-Connor Seniors Tom H. Cook Attica, NY, Business ■ General Judy O.

Fischer Toms River, New Jersey, Physical Education Gregory Fisher Clarksburg, Business - General Fraternity involvement helps treasurer by Sonja Sigley Rick Hawkinberry, student government treasurer, became involved in student government because he wanted to help change things he didn ' t agree with and learn how student government is run. Hawkinberry, senior safety engineering major, cam- paigned with three other executives on a platform pro- posing more campus activities and student access to facilities on weekends. It really doesn ' t matter how many posters you put up or how many people wear buttons that say your name; but that the people know what you want to do and that you establish a trust with them to look out for their best interest. Hawkinberry, who is also president of Theta Xi Frater- nity, feels that being a member of the fraternity helped him gain the experience necessary to meet, deal with and become involved with people and them to work together to accomplish a common goal. As treasurer, Hawkinberry ' s responsibilities include planning the activities of Homecoming Week and organiz- ing the committees to carry out the preparations. He must also give a monthly financial report at student gov- ernment meetings and attend student government activities. As for the future, Hawkinberry intends to stay in the field of safety engineering instead of pursuing politics. He is planning to work as an intern with Mobil Oil and to eventually attend graduate school. Thomas M. Flatley Wheeling, Psychology - General Tamara K. F linn Fairmont, Business - General Gayl A.

Races have taken him to Minnesota, Tennessee, Flori- da and throughout New England. Maltba trains by constantly riding to build endurance and to become mentally tough. Loss of concentration for a split second could have disastorous results, he said. Yet he has an occasional bad day, having crashed sev- eral times. Still, he has never been seriously injured. It does take one or two days to recuperate from a race, he said. He has probably avoided injury by being clad like a football player with shoulder pads, padded pants, hel- met, eye protection and gloves. Maltba also emphasized that riders should never climb on a bike without their helmet. His 1985 goals include to start winning overall races instead of just those in his class, take the overall National Championship, and qualify for the American Six Day Team, which will compete in the International Six Days Enduro, the Olympics of motorcycle racing, to be held in Spain. After racing a few more years, he would like to get into research and development of new and better bikes. 92 • Johnson-Kirby Seniors Tammy R. Klinkoski Wheeling, Business - General Kimberly L.

McCloskey has been using his artistic skills since high school and has continued to polish his creative ideas over his four years at FSC. His cartoons have covered such hard-hitting events as the Iranian crisis, presidential elec- tions, the El Salvador conflict and various college events. Although his cartoons have gathered some negative opinions in the past, McCloskey says this in no way hinders his ability to jump into a potentially explosive issue and comically simplify it for his viewers. I like to say in graphic form what writers cannot, he said. A McCloskey editorial cartoon was awarded first place in the Society for Collegiate Journalists ' national compe- tition in 1984. Finishing with a first place and second honorable mention in the 1983 SCJ competition, he scored a third place finish in the same contest in 1982. He was asked to submit a slide presentation of his best illustrative cartoons by the Director of Publication of the University of Tennessee for use as lecture aids at a jour- nalism seminar held in New York City in late March. McCloskey hopes to one day work for a major newspa- per and eventually have his work nationally syndicated. Susan P. Morris Enterprise, Chemistry Tammy E. Mozuke Fairmont, Business - General Mary E.

Miss Piscitelli, who represented Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority, was among the 15 candidates chosen to draw roses for the selection of five finalists during the Home- coming Dance. Michael Belmear, student affairs counsel- or, had 10 red roses and five winning yellow roses. I would look at the roses as they came down the line and every time I had a rose in mind someone else picked it. When I unwrapped the yellow rose, my sorority sisters were already jumping up and down and screaming. They all came over and hugged me, Miss Piscitelli said. Fairmont State College students voted on the five final- ists on Friday in the Turley Center and the winner was announced Saturday during halftime ceremonies of the Homecoming game. I was real surprised and happy because I have never had that kind of honor before. When I got home, my parents had a party for me and I think that they must have had a picture for every step that I took out on the field, Miss Piscitelli stated. She concluded her Home- coming week at a Tau Kappa Epsilon dance. A member of Sigma Sigma Sigma, she is a student government representative at large, in the education hon- orary, and has served as a freshman counselor. 96 • Rial-Rollins Seniors Karen A.

Although it is not unusual for athletes to switch from one related sport to another, this transition was not exactly a common switch made by male athletes. Eldridge, a junior law enforcement criminal justice major, perhaps better known as the Falcon mascot, said that he shocked many people when he changed from football player to cheerleader during high school. . Even so, when Eldridge entered FSC three years ago, he decided to continue his cheerleading career. One day during practice in his freshman year, Robin Hines, former cheering adviser, asked him if he would consider becom- ing the mascot. As mascot, he donned a bird suit that can reach up to approximately 150 degrees and also functioned as a cheerleader in building pyramids and spotting squad ■members during such stunts as the high split catch. I have a great time as the mascot and get really active in college activities, he said. Eldridge, who served as the Falcon mascot for three years, said, What I like best about being the mascot is meeting new people and hugging girls. His appearances as the Falcon at college sports events and other local happenings presented him with many personal contacts with his fans. 98 • Strauss-Taylor Seniors Melissa A.

The transfer student from a branch of the University of Maryland in Munich, Germany has viewed army life from a very different perspective. She is the daughter of a 33- year career soldier. I ' ve lived in Maryland, Kansas, Texas, Georgia, West Virginia and Germany. I attended three different high schools in four years, and traveled throughout Spain, France, Czechoslavokia and England, she said. I liked all the changes and being the new girl. Adapt- ing to all the different places has made me a more open- minded individual, she added. The biggest change for her came when her father was transferred to an army base in Germany. We arrived on the base in the middle of a nuclear protest demonstration. The soldiers were in full combat dress and there were armed guards everywhere. Miss Dye admitted that she does miss the European people and lifestyle. She recalled being a member of the Alpine Club in one of the schools she attended. The club is really the thing I miss most. We skied and went moun- tain climbing. Those are just a few of the things I don ' t have the opportunity to do now. Though Miss Dye does not intend to make a career of the army, she does want to be involved with it by teaching army children overseas.

In addition to this she performed her duties as the 1984 Coal Festival Queen. As part of these duties she was obligated to be present at certain parades and festivals. Her biggest responsibility was competing in the Queen of Queens Contest, held in Charleston, in January, in which she placed in the semi- finals. Besides brains and beauty, she has other talents. Miss Nagy has written several poems that have been published by the World of Poetry Press, Sacremento, CA., in three different volumes. She has been awarded two honorable mentions from the World of Poetry Press and has placed in the Kentucky State Poetry Contest. My time is very important. I have very little spare time, and when I do it ' s spent doing homework, she said. It shows. Miss Nagy frequently appears on the Dean ' s List. According to Kathy ' s mother, Sandy Blizzard, who also works in the athletic office at the college, she rarely sees her daughter. I probably see Kathy about an hour and a half twice a week, if that much, she said. Mrs. Blizzard said that although she dislikes Kathy ' s busy schedule, she is proud that her goals are so high. Miss Nagy ' s ultimate goal is publishing her own book of poetry.

She graduated from Franklin High School in 1981, leaving an array of accomplishments behind her. Her singing voice won her the title of West Virginia All-State Soloist 1981, Outstanding Choral Award, and selection into Who ' s Who of High School Students in Music. She also participated in a number of musicals including Get Up and Go and was a member of the jazz singing choir Rhapsody. The radio tv communications major lent her talents to the campus drama organization, the Masquers, seeing this as another opportunity to release her creative abilities. In addition, she did some fashion modeling and photo sessions at the Barbizon School of Modeling in Washing- ton, D.C., for one year. She enjoyed the time spent there, and is available for additional work. She appeared in the Masquers production of New Faces of 1984, and worked on sound for The Diviners. Miss Perry spoke of the need to read a part, re-read it, and read it again if she intended to memorize her lines. She doesn ' t like to portray unpopular, mean charac- ters; she prefers to play the role of the heroine.

He has been collecting comics books since his grandparents gave him Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck comics when he was a child. However, he did not become a hard-core collector until the end of 1981. Sypolt has 450 comic books, of which 400 are in note- books. They are worth approximately $764. The electronics major explained that comics are classi- fied into five divisions: mint, near mint, fine, very good and good. Books in mint condition look as if they just come off the printing press, Sypolt said. Comics in near mint condition have most of the original printing gloss, no major tears, stains or writing in them. Comics in very good condition look as if they have been read a lot. The printing gloss is almost gone and they have smal l creases, said Sypolt. These are the most popular too because of their low price and reason- able quality. Comics in good condition have one noticeable flaw, such as a tear, water stain or tape. Sypolt ' s most valuable comic is X-Men 129, which is worth $10 to $16, according to the Mile High Comics Price List. Sypolt said that he does not plan to sell his comics in the near future. Maybe I ' ll sell some if I can find anyone who ' s interested in buying them.

Trying to form her own band, Miss Sauro was inspired at an early age when she watched Mitch Miller and the Ed Sullivan Show. Once she got Donnie Osmond ' s auto- graph, she was sure she wanted to be a singing star. Since that day, she has met other stars, such as Adam Ant and Tommy Shaw of the rock band Styx. Although her band is still making plans for the future, she already has songs written, ready for their first public appearance. Feeling strongly against patterning her style of per- forming after other rock performers, she said, You can- not copy someone else ' s style, because they work too hard to get their own style. You have to develop your own and be yourself. But if I were to copy someone else ' s style, I would like to use Duran Duran, Adam Ant, or Madonna. Miss Sauro claims that her reasons for wanting to be a star go beyond greed. Money means nothing to me, she said. The glory and fame are nice, but most of all, I want to be admired by others. Louise VanGilder, senior music major, is credited with being her counterpart of the band and helps write songs, sings and plays the synthesizer.

Sophomore Dorena Sturm, Sophomore Stephanie Suder, Sophomore Jody Swenskie, Sophomore Shaw All-American opts for small college by Susan Harmon Vonda Shaw, freshman, spent hours pondering which college to attend before deciding on Fair- mont State. It wasn ' t an easy decision for the All-Ameri- can basketball player to make with offers from Notre Dame University, New Mexico University, University of Charleston, University of Hawaii, and UCLA staring her in the face. The business major started playing basketball in junior high school. I was really never interested much in bas- ketball until seventh grade and when I started playing, it became a major part of my life, she said. The Fairmont State basketball player won many awards during her high school career. She won the All- Tournament team award her freshman, sophomore and senior years, played with the Amateur Athletic Union in the Junior Olympics her junior and senior years and was named All-American during her senior year. She said she chose Fairmont State over the other of- fers she received because this college is smaller and she could get more help academically, if she needed it. The biggest problem with those larger schools is that they are only interested in you as a basketball player and not concerned with your academic achievements, she com- mented. FSC is also closer to her home which makes it easier for her family to come and watch some of the games. Shaw played the point guard position and is the leading candidate for the starting point guard position next year.

The freshman clerical-secretarial major has dreams of being a professional model and she is well on her way to attaining her goal. As a senior in high school, she became Miss Teen West Virginia in 1983 and went on to represent the state in the 1983 Miss Teen All-America pagent in Miami, Fla. She won the state title for the 1984 Ms. PPA Photoge- nic contest sponsored by the Professional Photographers of America. She also won the state East Coast Princess and Model of the Year contest, was a semi-finalist in the Seventeen magazine cover girl contest and represent- ed West Virginia in the 1984 Miss North America Okto- berfest Festival in Ontario, Canada. She was one of only 10 American women to compete in the contest. Miss Zinn hopes that her modeling experience, in addi- tion to her vocal and dance training at Wanda Lake ' s Dance Studio, will help her in the search for a profession- al modeling career. With all these activities, one would think that she would not have time for college. But she said that she considers her education at Fairmont State to be very important to her future. If for some reason I don ' t make it in modeling, I want to have a good education and a degree that I can fall back on, she said.

In nearly every West Virginia Conference Tournament, FSC athletes walked away with several achievement awards. Taking the state crown runner-up position and a third place conference finish was the men ' s basketball team. The Lady Falcons also boasted a third place WVIAC ranking. Capturing the college ' s only conference crown was the men ' s cross country team led by seniors Greg Patton and Dan and Paul Fournier. Under new head coach Wally Hood the football squad put on a late season surge to even its ledger at 5-5. Ed Coleman was named to the NAIA All-American first team, WVIAC first team and the Kodak All-American team. Charles Hall, Tom Rogers, Tom Smith, Brian Brown and Demetrius Rush were named to the WVIAC second team. Joe Haas and John Riamondo were named WVIAC honorable mention. The Falcon tankers wound up another successful year by plac- ing 13 All-Americans and two academic All-Americans. Also sporting a new coach was the acrobatic and innovative cheerleading squad that placed third on the All-Conference team. After a year off, the volleyball team returned with a new coach and finished in sixth place at the state tournament. The golf team doubled its wins from last year to end the season with a 9-22 overall record and a 9-10 League record. A 30 percent increase in participation resulted in the formation of many new intramural teams. The Falcon netters finished third in the WVIAC with a 12-5 overall record and a 11-4 conference record. : I Season Record 5-5 ©© MJA A team with gusto The 1984 Fairmont State football program began a steady climb for ex- cellence as the season began with a new head coach, the second in as many years. Wally Hood and his team opened their first season together as the Clarion Golden Eagles invaded Rosier Field to face the Falcons Sept. 8. FSC put up a tough fight, but Clarion, ranked third in the nation by the NAIA, came away with a hard fought 21-13 victory. Fairmont went on the road to Waynesburg Sept. 15 and gave Coach Hood his first victory as head coach. FSC used a stingy defense and a consistent offense to roll to a 37-12 victory. Falcon sophomore Vince Mitchell made a place for himself in the FSC record book by returning an interception 93 yards. Fairmont came close, but failed in its attempt to upset arch rival Salem on Sept. 22. FSC took the lea d early by taking advantage of Salem ' s mistakes. However, the Tigers put together some long drives to forge ahead and defeat the Considering the situa- tion the program was in when I arrived, we had a good 5-5 season. We were very pleased and yet some- what disappointed. Falcons 28-21. Tackle Charlie Hall was named WVIAC player of the week for his efforts against the Tigers. Using a balanced offense led by ju- niors Ed Coleman and Brian Brown, and a hard-nosed defense led by Marty Guzzetta, the Falcons improved to 2-2 on the year by pounding West Virginia Wesleyan 31-14 at the Sept. 29 Homecoming game. The following week Fairmont traveled to Athens to face Concord. The first half the Falcons played well, but in the second half the Mountain Lions put together two long scor- ing drives to shut down the FSC offense to achieve a 28-14 victory. WVIAC offensive player of the week Coleman led Fair- mont to a 39-14 romp over West Virginia State on Oct. 13 with seven catches for 210 yards and three touchdowns. The Falcon defense used big turnovers to keep the Yellow Jackets in check all day. Coleman was later cited for all- conference honors as a unanimous first team selection and as a member of the Kodak All-American squad. r RUNNING BACK George Cooper demon- strates his exuberance over a Falcon gain against Clarion State before halftime.

I had never actu- ally even seen a volleyball game played before. It is a really quick rough sport, he said. Since the program disbanded last -year due to lack of interest and participation, Coach Hill spent a lot of his time helping rebuild the team. We came very close to beating everyone we played this year. This will help build our confi- dence, Hill remarked. Though they opened their season with a loss, as the season went o n, the team became more relaxed and won some tough games. In this year ' s state tournament they defeated West Virginia Tech and Glenville to place sixth. Pam Spencer, team captain, led the team with 92 spikes and 66 blocks throughout the year and was named second team All-Conference. Patty Yannuzzi was named second team All-Conference It was very different for me from coaching baseball and football. I had never ac- tually even seen a volley- ball game. It is a really quick rough sport. and is one of the three hardest hitters in the conference. Amy Richmond had the best kill per- centage on the team, spiking 55 out of 152 attempts. Elizabeth Lantz, very consistent in setting and serving, will return to the squad next year. The main weakness of the team this year was defense. We need to work on not letting the ball hit the court, and to run our play combinations better, said Hill. I feel good about next year. I have all of my starters back plus a few additions from the student body, as well as a few recruits. This should provide good competition and improve the team ' s play. Also, we should be more familiar with our system and other players. This will help our consistency. The team ' s main goal is to win the conference title next year. If they succeed, they will advance to play the winner of the Pennsylvania district with the district winner going to the NAIA playoffs.

The Lady Falcons opened their sea- son by traveling to Institute, W.Va. to challenge West Virginia State College where Fairmont was greeted by a 72-67 loss. The following game was played at the Feaster Center. The Lady Falcons were matched against an aggressive Wheeling College squad that outlasted the Falcons 80-74.

The Pioneers had de- feated the Lady Falcons twice in the regular season with one of the losses ending an eight game winning streak for Fair- mont. The Pioneers were ready to make it three in a row but the Lady Falcons come from behind to win the game 70-65 and finish third in the tournament. We came on strong at the end, which was the right time for us. You could see the progress we made through the season when we won 1 1 of our last 13 games. This was also our third consecutive trip to the final four in the WVIAC tournament, which is a great accomplishment, said Coach Joe Lambiotte.

Women ' s Basketball • 129 Season Record 22-9 Men ' s Basketball — slow beginning, strong finish Coach Dave Cooper and his Fight- ing Falcons ended their 1984-85 bas- ketball season with a 22-9 record which is respectable by anyone ' s stan- dards. The philosophy of Coach Coo- per ' s game plan emphasized performance on a team basis and this would play an intricate part in the out- come of Fairmont ' s games. With the return of four starters from the 1983 season, the Falcons seemed to have quite an advantage in the West Virginia Conference. The Falcons opened their season against Southern Mississippi, an NCAA Division I school, on the road and made an all out effort to win. The Falcons jumped all over Mississippi 69-62. The Falcons faced Tu- lane University, another NCAA Division I school, in their second game of the season. The Falcons exhibited great effort on offense and a sound defense, but they bowed to a nine point decision, 72-63. When the Falcons came back north to compete in the West Virginia Conference, they traveled to Institute, W.Va. to challenge West Virginia State We struggled but our kids still made it to the tournament finals.

We knew we were going to be a pretty fair ball club, once we put it all together, said Coach Cooper of his squad. As it turned out, getting his five players to come together in his offensive scheme would be the determining factor in the outcome of most of their battles. Playing on their home court seemed to be just the encour- agement the Falcons needed as they won their first home game 82-60 against California State College (Pa.). The fol- lowing game, also at home, resulted in Fairmont outlasting a winless Point Park State College squad 71-65. We got better as time went on; we jelled as a team. As a coach, you can ' t always determine or influence how your team will perform to start with. There are a lot of things involved, you don ' t have them all year. You practice, but it gets to a point in practice when you can ' t get any better; you have to play games, remarked Cooper.

With this increase in strength came an increase in wins. Fairmont traveled to Athens, to face the Tigers of Concord College. The Falcons pounded the Tigers with a score of 106-81. Fairmont ' s offense had awakened and showed itself in grand style. With Coach Cooper ' s game plan being run as it was designed, it was apparent Fairmont would win as a team or lose as individuals. The Falcons came back to the Feaster Center where they took on a very strong University of Charleston team. The Falcons had been defeated by U.C. earlier in the season 88- 85. This may have been one reason for the whipping Fair- mont gave them as U.C. was turned back 100-92 in overtime. Right on the heels of this performance, Salem College was invited to the Feaster Center. The Falcons grabbed Salem ' s Tigers by their tails and flung them for a 101-86 setback. We have an excellent defensive ball club. In 31 games, our opponents only shot for a field goal percentage of approximately 39 percent. This was not by accident. Out of the NCAA Division 1 schools, only Georgetown has held their opponents to under 40 percent in field goal shooting, said Coach Cooper of his team ' s efforts. Fairmont State had really turned its season around. The Falcons were playing well and with confidence. Coach Cooper commented, Around the latter part of mid-season, we were playing like a championship ball club. The Falcons played well through the rest of their regular season schedule but ran into problems at the state tourna- ment. Falcon forward Tim Murphy was hampered by illness and center Joe Jones had problems with back spasms. As a result of having to make untimely replacements, Fairmont ' s timing was thrown off. Then once Murphy was able to return to the line-up, he injured his knee. We struggled but our kids still made it to the tournament finals. That shows you the type of character that our team had, remarked Cooper of his team ' s year ending performance. This season was one of steady progress for Fairmont State. Though the team began slow they finished strong. Coach Cooper commented, We hope that our young peo- ple coming back have their heads set on winning the confer- ence, the tournaments and doing whatever it takes to reach the national finals.

Men ' s Basketball • 135 NAIA ranking- Men-7th; Women-6th A most rewarding year This was the best year perfor- mance-wise and the most rewarding year we ' ve had for several reasons, swimming coach Steve Mahaney said of the 1984-85 aquatic season. The team itself functioned very well as a group of people, he added, explain- ing that the swimmers overcame many hardships and personal problems at the beginning of the season. Lastly, but definitely not least, they swam so well, accord- ing to Mahaney, that the team was very enjoyable to be around. When personality clicks so does performance, add- ed Mahaney. Fairmont States ' swimming program, based on the NAIA competition, found women finishing sixth in the nation, the highest they have ever placed on the national level, and men finishing seventh. Mahaney said, This is the best com- bined year I ' ve had in 14 years. Thirteen swimmers obtained All-American honors, bring- ing the total to 84 individual All-Americans in 14 years in I have always felt that our teams have worked as hard as any in the nation, and I don ' t have any gim- micks to make them fast, just hard work and estab- lished goals. over 200 events. The 13 All-Ameri- cans included: Maryellen Early, Sally Lambert, Eileen Luigard, Julie Paugh, Susan Simmons, Cyndy Wolk, Patty Yannuzzi, Earl Anderson, Bill Cushing, Tom Fitzgibbons, Jon Gentile, Ron Larkin and John Simone. Those women having outstanding performances at the nationals were Maryellen Early and Sally Lambert. Early placed second in both the 500 and 1650 freestyles, fourth in the 400 IM, fifth in the 200 freestyle and competed in three relays that scored. Lambert placed third in the 100 butterfly, sixth in the 100 freestyle, seventh in the 50 freestyle and competed in four relays that scored. The women went far beyond our expectations. They were phenomenal, the coach said. The outstanding man at nationals was Ron Larkin, who placed fourth in the 500 freestyle and seventh in both the 100 butterfly and 100 freestyle. Tom Fitzgibbons, and Chris Ashton, both qualified as Academic All-Americans on the national level.

The men, respectively, set six new varsity records. At the Tri-State Conference in Philadelphia, the women finished second and the men finished first for the second year in a row. This conference consists of 11 men ' s and women ' s teams. Both Maryellen Early and Tom Fitzgibbons won three conference events, the maximum number of events any one competitor may win. Our dual meet season is nowhere as important as what we do at the end of the year, explained Mahaney. The nationals are most important. The women finished the dual season with three wins and three losses. This is the most wins for the women we ' ve ever had. The men concluded with seven wins and four losses bringing their 14-year-total to 89 wins to 56 losses. Our team has not lost to a WVIAC team in eight years. Captains for this year ' s team were David Weaver, Tom Fitzgibbons, and Brad Snow. Captains, voted on by the team, function as go-betweens for the coach and team. The captains don ' t necessarily have to be the best swimmers, but they are expected to provide leadership. This year ' s diving program was far better than it had ever been. The divers set varsity records in seven of the eight possible diving events. On the national level, two of four earned Ail-American honors. The All-American divers were Patty Yannuzzi and Bill Cushing. Yannuzzi set four new iM« W ' l 1 ALL-AMERICAN Bill Cushing performs a front dive straight In the Slippery Rock meet. GEORGE WINTER.

Cushing set three new varsity records and finished eighth at nationals. Junior math major Scott Pringle was a definite plus to the program this year as the first student-assistant coach the swimming team has ever had. The two-time All-American, after suffering severe abdominal injuries, had to give up swimming, but stayed on as coach. Student trainer Elizabeth Hines was the first four-year manager the team has ever had. Mahaney said he had enough faith that she could handle any of the administrative duties a coach could handle. Coach Mahaney ' s philosophy is centered around goals, hard work and enthusiasm. I have always felt that our teams have worked as hard as any in the nation, and I don ' t have any gimmicks to make them fast, just hard work and established goals for each team member. Before the wins, the set records, and the nationals comes practice, practice, practice! Mahaney described swimming as being the longest season of any sport. Practice and competition runs from the first week of school through March. The team practices three days a week from 5:45 a.m. to 7:30 a.m, everyday from 2 to 5:30 p.m. and on Saturdays and Sundays depending on the season. Mahaney concluded, It takes a very dedicated individual to be a successful and competitive swimmer on the FSC swimming team. m¥ Wm 138 • Swimming AN UNDERWATER VANTAGE POINT shows Tom Fltzgibbons fine swimming form during practice.

Swimming • 141 Season Record 9-22 MJk Winning in spite of inexperience A defeat by California University April 28 marked the end of the 1985 Falcon baseball season, a season that second year Coach Dan Kupets knew would center on rebuilding. Coach Kupets had begun prepara- tions for this season in September 1984. Practice began in the fall to ele- minate spring tryouts leaving more time to trouble-shoot problems before the season began. The 23 team members began a training routine of weight- lifting, running, throwing and hitting which lasted until the end of the fall semester. Each team member then trained on his own until spring practice began in February. During pre-season practices, special emphasis was placed on hitting. The Grenada Five, a pitching machine was also added to the program. The team encountered a major set- back in January when 16 players were found academically ineligible. Coach Kupets was forced into holding spring tryouts. Our goal this year was to win twice as many games as last year ' s team and we did it two and a quarter times. Last year ' s team of veter- ans had a conference record of 4-8 and this year ours was 9-10 with a young team. All the work in the fall was for naught when you lose the starting line- up because of grades, said Kupets. Spring tryouts left Kupets a team of 22 players, 16 of whom were com- pletely inexperienced on a collegiate level. For some, taking the field for the March 9 opener against the Citadels in Charleston, S.C. was their first time on the field as college players. They lost their first game 16-1. The team ' s inexperience seemed to be the only thing that held them back. The defensive team made 111 errors dur- ing the season but they doubled the wins of last year ' s team, which had a 4-win 19-loss record. Our goal this year was to win twice as many games as last year ' s team and we did it two and a quarter times, explained Coach Kupets. Last year ' s team of veterans had a conference record of 4-8 and this year ours was 9-10 with a young team. The Falcon baseballers ' season record was 9-22. L M 2LA pi v % J ?

As it turned out pitching was one of the team ' s biggest assets. First year pitcher Rob- bie Abruzzino had three of the nine team wins while Jeff Payne and Randy Flowers each pitched two wins and Mike Morrone and Jay Lanham had one each. The emphasis placed on hitting in the fall was reflected by the team ' s performance. Randy Whited had six home runs, 29 runs batted in and a batting average of 416 for the season. Whited, the team ' s strongest hitter was fol- lowed by six other players with batting averages over 300. Randy Toth, a WVU transfer student averaged 360 and catcher Donnie Retton and Todd Schuler both aver- aged 333. John Commodore had a batting average of 326; Mark Haseleu, 303; and Mike Gough, 301. Coach Kupets was satisfied with the team ' s overall season. The improvements made this year, combined with the experience they gained,made this season invalu- able. He is looking forward to next spring with enthusi- asm since all but two of his players are returning. Looking over the year, Coach Kupets felt the southern trip was the most important aspect of the season with its rigorous schedule and stiff competition. Although the Falcons lost 1 1 straight games he and the players felt that it was worth the experience. It ' s basically the same game but different, Kupets explained. Climate allows the teams down there to play almost all year round. I wanted to take the guys south not so mu ch to win but so they would have a chance to experience baseball on another level. Going south was a great help. Everyone got down on us when we got home because we didn ' t win but what they didn ' t see was that those teams had already played 15 games when we were just starting, said Mike Gough. If we could play them now, after we ' ve played a few games, we would probably win a few. It was great spending time away and playing teams better than us. Down there it ' s the way baseball should be, explained Abruzzino. They talk, eat, and sleep baseball down there. The April 28 defeat closed out a 9-22 overall season for the Falcons. The team made some progress and gained a bit of experience along the way; another exam- ple of the Falcon ' s steady climb for excellence. TEAM FSC opp. ! Citadel 1 16 Citadel 2 6 !

Zannino also held the No. 2 position in singles competition for FSC. He fin- ished his regular season with a 14-3 record. Freshman Paul Cooper held the No. 3 position and finished 11-6 in the reg- ular season. He and junior Rodney An- selene filled the No. 2 doubles shot and finished with a 13-4 mark. Anselene was No. 4 with a record of 13-4 in regular season singles play. Mark Walters and Dave Kopp, sophomores, finished with a 14-3 record. As the No. 3 doubles team, they finished with a 6-2 season record. Senior Kent Barker played as No. 3 team alternate in doubles competition. The alternate No. 3 team of Walters and Barker team finished the season with an 8-3 record.

Men ' s Tennis • 153 Best year ever Where do students who crave com- petition go if they don ' t want to par- ticipate in organized athletics? The answer is easy — intramurals. The program, under the direction of HPERS associate professor Jean Ward had developed into one of the finest in the state. Intramural activities include archery, backgammon, bowl- ing, basketball, football, track and field, tug-o-war, and a hen and turkey trot in November. The men ' s division had three catagories: fraternity, inde- pendent, and club-dorm. The women had two catagories, independent and sorority. In women ' s activities, Fairmont III, independent, won the overall championship in the flag football competition. The duo of Tammy Klinkoski and Crystal Alt won the doubles in the horseshoe competition and Jeanne Fischer and Kelly Anderson captured first place for the sororities.

Garden Lanes won the club-dorm division. Sigma Pi won the archery contest for the fraternity division, with Garden Lanes, club-dorm, and Group III, inde- pendent, also victorious. The men ' s group and women ' s in- dependent divisions are the strongest they have ever been, said Miss Ward. According to Miss Ward, this year was one of the best intramural years on record. A participation growth of 30 percent over last year increased into 20 thousand participa- tion hours. Miss Ward said that spectatorship had also grown chiefly due to the success of her helpers. Constitution revision and amended game regulations also contributed to present intramurals success by giving officials better perspective and clarity when making decisions. It (intramurals) is a beautiful marriage between the ad- ministration and the student body to know the needs and possible opportunities of both students and faculty, said Miss Ward. 1 s A KEEN EYE ON THE BIRDIE assures a successful return for badminton team members Lisa Childers and Lisa Cole.

Ms. Crislip said coaching the new techniques of cheerleading is exciting. She added, Cheerleaders have to be more athletic now. They are more so performers than the traditional rah-rah bunch. It all begins with two week tryouts in mid-April. Those trying out must first learn the college song, gymnastics and double stunts. The remainder of the time is spent in try outs. Ms. Crislip commented that the all-round cheerleader must have gymnastic and rhythmic dance ability as well as crowd appeal. Upon selection, cheerleaders attend camp in August held at various locations each year. They are judged daily on stunts, pyramids, sideline routines and ability to enthuse the crowd. This year ' s squad submitted a taped routine for the NCAA cheerleading competition, a nationally televised Cheerleading is a more dangerous sport to be in- volved in than people think.

This was the first time Fairmont State entered and although not chosen they felt it was a good learning experience for the WVIAC Competition. The cheerleaders traveled to the WVIAC Basketball Tournament in Charleston to spend a week performing at FSC games there. They received a trophy for Best Cheerleading Group and placed second overall. Fairmont State was also the only school to have three cheerleaders, the maximum number allowed from the same squad, to make the All- Conference squad. They were Tina Cinalli, J.D. Hoover, and Todd Ernest. Todd Ernest, senior business administration major said, By far, Fairmont State was the best talented in Charleston. Ms. Crislip concluded, Cheerleading is a more danger- ous sport to be involved in than people think. This squad was the best FSC has had in years. It was not necessarily due to me. They just had a lot of talent. ' fr THE FINAL STEP is the most difficult when performing a high fan. The FSC cheerleaders demonstrate their versiti- lity during halftime activities.

Golden Colorado 80401 • Brewer of Fine Quality Beers Since 1873 Working Hand In Hand Fairmont State College and the community of Fairmont have been working hand-in-hand to better serve the students and citizens. The 1984-85 academic year was no exception. Joint efforts of Fairmont State and the Marion County Chamber of Commerce resulted in a number of activities and events which proved beneficial to college and community. The Marion County Chamber of Commerce and Fairmont State were just two of the many sponsors of Mary Lou Retton Day and Parade, presented to show the community ' s appreciation of Miss Retton ' s efforts in the 1984 Olympic Games. The events held at East-West Stadium, was in part set up by FSC ' s physical plant workers with stage and chairs provided by the college. The College Chamber team also co-sponsored Leadership Mar- ion, a program of seminars and retreats to teach people about community affairs and prepare them for future leadership roles. The Division of Fine Arts, working with the Chamber of Com- merce, raised $3,100 by sponsoring the fifth annual Fine Arts Gala featuring a variety show, art exhibit and dinner. Proceeds benefited the Fine Arts Scholarship Fund. Working together, the Marion County Board of Education, and FSC have formed Project EXCEL which enables advanced area high school students to enroll in selected college classes. At the college level, education majors entering the block receive first-hand teaching experience at various high schools in the county. The community of Fairmont recognizes FSC as a vital part of the community and economy. FSC students and employees spend $9 million each year in the greater Fairmont area, according to a 1983 Economic Impact Study of the College, prepared by Dr. E.E. Pe- ters, associate professor of commerce, and released early this year. Community members boosted FSC ' s Foundation Scholarship Fund last year when they volunteered their services to work at McDonald ' s for a day without pay. Ten percent of the earn ings made that day were donated by McDonald ' s to the Foundation. Trying to meet the needs of the surrounding community, frater- nities, sororities and various clubs participated in community pro- jects through the year. They donated food and funds to organizations such as the United Way, Marion County Food Pantry and Easter Seals. During Halloween, Sigma Pi and Phi Mu sponsored a haunted house open to children of the community. The TKE fraternity was active during the Christmas season, collecting money for Salvation Army. The Fine Arts Division sponsored numerous art and photogra- phy exhibits, concerts, and theatrical productions throughout the year. Included were productions by the Masquers and the Town and Gown Players, completing the 25th consecutive summer sea- son with the presentation of Annie. Student Government sponsored activities open to the public such as the Cyndi Lauper concert which drew a crowd of close to 3,800 fans from the Fairmont area. Other events featured speakers the Rev. Ralph Abernathy and Sen. William Proxmire (D. -Wis). Prof. Mark Friend ' s advertising students compiled material for the city of Fairmont ' s entrant in the All West Virginia Cities Competition, sponsored by the West Virginia Chamber of Com- merce. The students spent almost 2,000 hours on their entry, which included the completion of a book entitled, Fairmont is Moving Up, and a video tape and slide show depicting the past year ' s accomplishments and community developments in Fairmont These developments were made in part by FSC and the commu- nity working together, each lending a helping hand for the growth of a better college community. by Bonnie and Sue Starkey GOLD RIBBONS adorned ev- ery business In Fairmont and FSC was no exception as Ra- chel Merrlfield, Bill Bicker- staff and Michael Belmear decorate the campus.

But even that description does not adequately describe the seven year famine and drought in Africa. When the dilemma was first brought to the public ' s attention, Americans rallied in late 1984-85 to fight the 27-country African hun- ger plight which had already killed millions. President Reagan, along with other govern- ment officials, visited the countries at the re- quest of the Red Cross. Mrs. Ray Kroc, Mc- Donald ' s restaurant millionairess, donat- ed $1 million to a drive, organized by the Red Cross to help staff and support 180 feeding centers and a hospital. Meanw hile, the civil war between Marxist government troops and rebels in the northern provinces of Ethiopia had cut off four million people from relief efforts. There comes a time when we heed a certain call, When the world must come together as one, There are people dying, And it ' s time to lend a hand to life, The greatest gift of all. We can ' t go on pretending day by day, That some- one, somewhere will soon make a change, We are all a part of God ' s great big family, And the truth, you know, Love is all we need. Years of drought hampered most efforts to improve the food supply but current efforts being implemented are planting market gar- dens, teaching health techniques and provid- ing livestock. The most prevalent need was supplies of food, medicine, clothing and shelter. The African famine situation had long been a major problem, but not until just re- cently has it gained world wide recognition. Part of this attention is attributed to the pro- jects taken on by the music industry and oth- er celebrities around the world. It started with a song, Feed the World, from the Do They Know It ' s Christmas al- bum recorded by Band-Aid, a group of British rock recording artsits. American pop musi- cans, USA for Africa (United Support of Art- ists for Africa), recorded the song We Are the World, which has raised millions of dollars for African famine relief. Since then many other musicians have recorded songs to raise funds for the crisis. Ken Kragen, an organizer of USA for Afri- ca, explained how the money was spent: 80-90 percent for immediate and long term relief and 10-20 percent was earmarked to help alle- viate hunger in America. Continuing their efforts for the dying in Africa, rock musicians, led by Irish rocker Bob Geldof, staged the largest live concert in history on July 13, 1985. After six months of planning, Live Aid took place at JFK Stadium in Philadelphia, Wembly Stadium in London, as well as local concerts in Japan, Austria, 166 • World For Africa Holland, Yugoslavia, West Germany, Austra- lia and The Soviet Union. The two stadiums were connected via satellite for the 16-hour production which reached over 1.5 billion people. At the concert ' s end, Lionel Richie, leader of the finale in Philadelphia, reported that $40 million had been raised by viewers ' donations with a final two-day total expected to reach $70 million. Approximately half of the dona- tions will be used for immediate relief aid to Africa and the remainder for long term recov- ery efforts in an attempt to again make Africa self-reliant and alleviate world hunger by the year 2000. Locally, funds were raised by projects such as the CROP walk, annual food drives, and donations to USA for Africa and Live Aid. We are the world, we are the children, We are the ones who make a brighter day, So let ' s start giving, There ' s a choice we ' re making, We ' re saving our own lives, It ' s true we ' ll make a better day, Just you and me.

With a 73-year old Republican seeking a second term, many Democratic challengers prepared to face the president on the Nov. 6 ballot. However, after the first few primaries, the number dwindled to three men — a former vice president, a U.S. senator, and a black Baptist minister — and the race for the nomination was on. During the weeks of July 16-19 and August 20-23, television- viewing time was dominated by the proceedings of the Democratic and Republican National Conventions. As was expected, the incum- bent president, Ronald Reagan, was overwhelmingly nominated and once again selected George Bush to be his running partner. Howev- er, the surprise came from the Democrats. Former Vice President Walter Mondale was nominated and unexpectedly chose Congress- woman Geraldine Ferraro of New York as his vice presidential nominee. Following the patriotic hoopla that came after the conventions, the band wagons took to the road to promote their causes and them- selves. Traveling from city to city and state to state, with one visit each to West Virginia by both presidential hopefuls, and shaking hands with potential voters, both nominees campaigned diligently for the Oval Office. However, all the campaigning was not perfect. Mudslinging, name calling and harsh political advertisements were all a part of the election season. Another intrical part is endorsements. Many state politicians supported the national candidates in hopes of riding the coattails into office. As a result, West Virginians re- elected Republican Arch Moore as governor for a third term and ex- Governor Jay Rockefeller replaced Jennings Randolph as a Democratic U.S. senator. But finally when the campaign came to a close, the advertisements were taken out of newspapers and off the television and radio, and the fund raisers were complete, it came down to the voters. On the evening of Nov. 6, the President had recorded an overwhelming landslide, claiming 49 of the 50 states and 512 electoral votes. West Virginia, usually a Democratic voting state, went totally for the Republican ticket. Mondale captured his home state of Minnesota and the District of Columbia. In December, the electoral college confirmed the results of the popular vote taken earlier and it was realized that Reagan would be starting his second term in office. As a congratulations present, First Lady Nancy Reagan gave her husband a dog that they named Lucky. Because the official inauguration day, Jan. 20, fell on Sunday, as well as Super Bowl Sunday, a private ceremony was held in the White House with both the president and the vice-president taking the official oaths of office. Later that day, Reagan, via satellite, flipped the ceremonial coin from Washington for the start of the Super Bowl in San Francisco. The public celebration, the usual grand parade scheduled for Monday was cancelled due to sub-zero temperatures in the nation ' s capitol. As the 1985 presidential term began, the 1984 campaign season could be remembered for its unique contributions to the history of the United States. by Lisa Gianettino 168 • Presidential Election THE 73-YEAR OLD president attracted large crowds at many Republican rallies while campaigning for re-election. Many support- ers turned out to hear Reagan during the sum- mer of 1984 as he prepared for the November election. Presidential Election • 169 170 • Election CLOSE UP: Off the record the family man, feels strongly that the family unit is the strength of West Virgin- ia and the nation. The family unit is the basic reason West Virginia has had the lowest crime rate in the nation for the past 10 years, he said while reflecting on his own private and public life during his first year as the fr eshman senator from the Mountain State. The Washington scene allows him only budgeted spare time for his wife Sharon and their four children, John, Valerie, Charles and Justen, he said. But what free time he has he spends with his family hiking, jeep riding, playing tennis, reading and having after meal discussions, all of which mark a few of his favorite activities. Before his election to the U.S. Senate, Rockefeller spent two consecutive terms as governor of West Virginia. Comparing his gov- ernorship to the U.S. Senate, he said, Each is totally different than the other. Each has its own exciting and hard aspects, but I won ' t say one is better than the other. The move to the senate was a welcome and fulfilling one. Even if I could have run for a third gubernatorial term I still would have run for the Senate. A graduate of Harvard with studies at International Christian Uni- versity in Tokyo, Japan, Yale University and Phillips Exeter Acade- my, Rockefeller knows well the importance of higher education. Being a parent, I feel higher education is fundemental but being a parent isn ' t the first consideration. Higher education is in some trouble; we are dealing with the demographics of a declining popula- tion. We must work harder to fund and keep education strong. The senator said he does not have long range political plans, but that he wants to do the best job he is capable of while in office during the five years left in his term. He, however, does not rule out the possibility of running for reelection. fcy Rjck Brooks r ■ HOPE t GAS W Contributed by the shareholders of the Consolidated Natural Gas Company.

Retton became the first woman to grace the cover of the cereal box. M off The athletes of the 1984 Los Angeles Summer Olympics took over the nickname of baseball players. The boys (and girls) of summer captured the hearts of the world in what was termed America ' s Games. Probably the most spectacular performance of the Games came from Fairmont ' s 4 ' 9 dynamo, Mary Lou Retton. She was labeled America ' s Sweetheart, and Little Miss Double 10 but to Fairmont, Marion County, and West Virginia, she was a hometown girl who made it big. And made it big she did by leading the women ' s gymnastics team to a silver medal, behind a strong Romanian team. But the big story came during the women ' s all-around competition. Going into the finals, Retton held a slim lead over Romanian Ecaterina Szabo. After one event, the two were tied; after the second event, Szabo had taken over the lead. With only two events remaining, Retton had her two best routines left — the floor and the vault. Her strong performance on the floor gave her a perfect 10. She had narrowed the lead on Szabo and with one event remaining she needed another 10 to capture the women ' s competition. The excitement and tension were building as Retton pounded down the runway toward the vault, hurling herself into the air completing a layout Tsukahara, and landing firmly on the mat. Retton, her coach Bela Karolyi, the crowd in the arena and at home, as well as Szabo, knew that it was perfect. Now it was up to the judges. And when the scores came up, she had done it — a perfect 10. As if to prove herself, Retton completed her second vault and received another perfect score. The Fairmont native captured the gold medal and had become the first American woman to win an individual medal in the Olympic competition. Szabo and a Romanian teammate were awarded the silver and bronze medals, respectively. Later that week, Retton captured another si lver and two bronze medals in the individual events competition. But for Retton the excitement was just beginning. She and her parents came home from Los Angeles to an overwhelmingly successful impromtu parade. Later she re- turned to LA. for the closing ceremonies of the Olympics. Her picture graced the covers of Time, Newsweek, and Sports Illustrated all the same week, some- thing no one has ever done before. She made television appearances on three morning news shows, guest-starred on The Bob Hope Christmas Special as well as many parades with other Olympians. Although a month after the Olympics and dampened by rain, thousands of people turned out in town for the Mary Lou Retton Day celebration on Sept. 21. Area politicians and businessmen presented Retton with gifts of. appreciation. From West Virginia Governor Jay Rockefeller she received a personalized license plate for a 1985 red Corvette that she had already received from a Charleston businessman. She was also given a street sign which indicated a new road in Fairmont — Mary Lou Retton Drive. Later in the year a park near her home was renamed Mary Lou Retton Park. As a special guest, Coach Bela Karolyi spoke to the crowd and was made an honorary citizen of West Virginia. Because of all the offers she was receiving, Retton hired an agent to handle her business affairs. She was contracted as a spokeswoman for Vidal Sasson, Wheaties and McDonalds. Promotional appearances, cereal boxes and commercials were among her many duties. West Virginia had another gold medalist. WVU rifle coach Ed Etzel was near perfect in winning the small-bore rifle competition. Since the Olympics, his popularity has not been as great as Retton ' s and although his business deals are not as lucrative as hers, he has done advertisements for a local bank. The Olympic gold was probably the biggest honor for Retton, but it was not the only thing she won. She was named Co-Woman of the Year with runner Joan Benoit; she and hurdler Edwin Moses were named Sportsman and Sportswoman of the Year by Sports Illustrated, and she was named Woman of the Year by Associated Press and West Virginia Amateur Athlete of 1984. For her 17th birthday in January she was the cover story for Seventeen magazine with gymnast Julianne McNamara. In April she, along with three other active athletes and six retired ones, was elected to the Olympic Hall of Fame. For Retton, the 1984 summer Olympics may be a memory, but the popularity and exposure she received will be something that will last a lifetime.

Since its premire in 1981, MTV has reached millions of homes and dra- matically changed the way rock music is viewed. The fascination with MTV and a host of imitators had effected everything from teenage ap- parel to a resurgence in record sales. When Duran Duran ' s Debut album was released in 1981, it barely cracked the HOT 100. After its videos were pre- sented more than a year later, both their first and second albums broke into the TOP 10. The VeeJays, Video Jocks, are as well known to pop fans as main rock stars. Fairmont State College students know them well as they watched the channel from about 2 to 25 hours a week. The impact of rock video is considered by some to be as dramatic as the first programs on television.

In the 57th Academy Awards, Amadeus won Oscars for best picture, best actor, best director, best screenplay, sound, makeup, art direction and costume design. Other winners were The Killing Fields, for best supporting actor; A Passage to India, for best supporting actress; Places in the Heart, for best actress and best orginial screenplay; Purple Rain, for best orginial song score; and The Woman in Red for best soundtrack. Based on the Tony-award winning play by Peter Shaffer, Ama- deus presented the life of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart as told by his rival and contemporary Antonio Salieri. The court composer, Salieri revered Mozart the musician and composer, but despised Mozart the man. F. Murray Abraham, in his first major film role, won for best actor in his portrayal of Salieri. Tom Hulce, also nominated for best actor, played the ever-obnoxious Mozart. An apocalyptic farce, Ghostbusters starred Bill Murray, Dan Akyrod and Harold Ramis as three parapsychologists who are ex- pelled from academia and become, in the words of Time movie reviewer Richard Schickel, exorcists for hire. They time their entry into the paranoramal job market just as the spirits of the underworld are preparing to launch an Armageddon-style offensive on New York City. Unfortunately, the EPA shut down the facility in which the heroes have been storing captured spirits and the city is terrorized by unlimited ghouls, who united at the film ' s climax to become one giant marshmellow man and prepared for a final battle with the Ghostbusters. The top movie among local students and fourth nationwide, Bev- erly Hills Cop, starred Eddie Murphy as a Detroit cop who spends his vacation time in Beverly Hills investigating friend ' s murder. Be- fore solving the case, Murphy must adjust to the new environ- ment, its brand of criminals, and especially, a police department which operates strictly by the book, wrote Schickel in Time , Dec. 10, 1984. Next in line to Amadeus with two Ocsars, Places in the Heart was one of three movies in 1984 about women fighting for their land and, according to Schickel in ' Time for Sept. 24, 1984, the best of the three. In it, Sally Field, who won an Ocsar for best actress, portrayed a depression-era widow trying to save her Texas farm from foreclosure. In her battle she is up against the natural elements, the economy and those who would exploit her misfortune. She is aided in her efforts by a black man, her kids and a blind man. busters BILL MURRAY, Dan Ackyroyd and Harold Ramis challenge New York ' s finest phantoms in Columbia Picture ' s Ghostbusters.

MCMLXXXIV Buena Vista Distribution Co., Inc. BlockbusW mm In a sense, in the Heart, is a movie whose characters would otherwise be losers were it not for a common battle shared among themselves. The Killing Fields recounted the friendship between 1976 Pulit- zer prize-winning journalist Sydney Schanberg and his assistant Dith Pran during the fall of Cambodia. When the two are separated, Pran is forced to labor in the Khmer Rouge fields. The movie reveals a bond of friendship inseparable to even politics. But the strongest point in the movie, according to Schickel is in Schanberg ' s desperate, and unheroic attempt to get his friend out of the fields and Pran ' s strong will to survive the ordeal. Dr. Haing S. Ngor, himself a Cambo- dian refugee, won for best supporting actor in his portrayal of Pran. Sam Waterson played the part of Schanberg. A Passage to India depicted, said David Ansen of Newsweek , a clash between Anglo and Indian cultures. Based on a book written in 1924 by E. M. Forster, the movie covers the trail of a Muslim Indian charged with attempted rape. Dame Peggy Ashcroft won an Oscar for best supporting actress. Winning an Oscar for best orginial song score, Purple Rain marked the debut of rock idol Prince as an actor. In Purple Rain, Prince played The Kid, a rising Minneapolis rock star who lives a chaotic life style, competes with a rival band and loves, loses and wins back his girl, Appolonia Kotero. What distinguished Purple Rain from the other rock movies is its approach, especially in the area of The Kid ' s background of domestic violence. Winning for best soundtrack, The Woman in Red starred Gene Wilder, an employee for an advertising agency whose model, Kelly LeBrock, for San Francisco ' s campaign to return the city to cable cars becomes an obsession with him. A married man with a family, Wilder serves as an example of what could happen to the average male should he let his fantasies become a reality. Steven Spielberg finished 1984 with two movies in the top three, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Gremlins, second and third, respectively. In The Temple of Doom the adventure- some archaelogist, Harrison Ford, agrees to search for an Indian village ' s precious stone and its children, who have been taken to work the mines of an evil cult specializing in human sacrifices. Ac- companied by his assistant Short Round, Ke Huy Quan, and a nag- ging female, Kate Capshaw, Indiana Jones takes himself and the audience for a thrilling, and often funny, adventure, according to Kenneth R. Hey, USA Today Sept. 1984. For Christmas a father, Hoyt Axton, gives his son, Zack Galligan, a strange-looking pet called Mogwari, who spawns what turn out to be The Gremlins, who terrorize the town in which they were spawned with a blend of cuspid and cuteness, said Ansen, in Newsweek , Jan. 18, 1984.

The movie covered the time the daughter was an infant to when she becomes ill with cancer. The movie finished fifth in 1984 according to Shcickel in Time Nov. 5, 1984. Finishing sixth, The Karate Kid starring Pat Morita, wrote Schickel, an apartment handyman who teaches martial arts and pacifistic wisdom to a young boy, Ralph Macchio, tired of being intimidated by the thugs at school in this film for good family entertainment. Star Trek III: The Search for Spock takes off where Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan landed. The movie is concerned with the crew of the starship Enterprise, led by Admiral James T. Kirk, William Shatner, as they search for Spock. Although they know where Spock is, they are not sure just how they will find him. Police Academy was the Stripes of the police cadets and Steve Guttenberg was its Bill Murray. Through a string of comical events, Guttenberg introduced a different and much more entertain- ing approach to learning fraternal order. Police Academy finished out the year at No. 9. In Romancing the Stone, Kathleen Turner portrayed a romance novelist whose life is not quite the adventure experienced by the characters in her books. To add the excitement missing in her life, she went treasure hunting with Michael Douglass, encountering kid- nappers, drug smugglers and experiencing adventure, according to Schickel, in the April 2, 1984 issue of Time. Besides telling someone to make his day, Dirty Harry Callahan, Clint Eastwood, found himself in Sudden Impact investigating the murders of six lowlifes in the village of San Paulo. The vigilante turned out to be none other than Sondra Locke, who plays an artist raped by the six 10 years before, said Richard Corliss of Time. It ' s now 1984 in a town somewhere west of the Midwest, wrote Ansen in Newsweek. Dancing had been outlawed for the past five years. A fire-and-brimstone preacher raves on about the negative impact of rock and roll on the younger generation. Suddenly, in dances Kevin Bacon from Chicago, punk hairdo and all, playing rock and roll records and tapes, falling for the preacher ' s daughter, Lori Singer, and setting the Puritan community Footloose. Last, but not least, Splash! A mermaid, Daryl Hannah, from Cape Cod goes to New York in search of the man, Tom Hanks, with whom she is in love. Their romance is foiled when a scientist, Eugene Levy, discovers the reality of the mermaid and has her put in a water tank for the benefit of science. In the end the two lovers escape to the underwater world of the mermaid ' s.

In baseball, the Detroit Tigers leaped to the fore in every game as they bounded past the San Diego Pa- dres to win the 81st World Series 8-4 on Oct. 21. On Oct. 14, with 14:11 to go in the third quarter of the Chicago Bears-New Orleans Saints game, Walter Payton of the Bears became the top runner in football history. Payton ran past the Saints ' Jim Brown, increas- ing his career rushing total to 12,317 yards. Pennsylvania natives Joe Montanta of the San Francisco 49ers and Dan Marino of the Miami Dolphins clashed during the Super Bowl in which the 49ers surfaced with a 38-16 ivctory. The most memorable sports events to Randall Flowers, senior civil engineer- ing technology major, was the West Virginia Mountaineer ' s triumph over arch- rival Penn State, It was a long time coming. My father was only 19 when WVU last beat the Nittany Lions. For Harry Steel, senior mechanical engineering technology major, the prime event was Villanova ' s defeating Georgetown for the NCAA championship. The underdog should never give up because anyone can be a winner. The Marvin Hagler-Tommy Hearns World Middleweight Title fight was prob- ably the best boxing match in the last 20 years. Hearnes was knocked out by a TKO in the third round, said John Wallace, sophomore safety engineering technology major. Wrestle Mania is spreading nationwide. Soon it will be- came a Sunday afternoon entertainment, said Mary Jo Suplita, sophomore elementary education major. Of all the sports events, however, the Los Angeles Olympic Games were definitely the most publicized and the most memorable worldwide, despite the Soviet Bloc ' s boycott. A few of the highlights included Joan Beniot ' s breeze to victory in the first women ' s marathon, Steve Lund- quist ' s world record in the 100-meter breaststroke, Ed- win Moses ' gold medal victories in the 400-meter hurdles, and of course, gymnast Mary Lou Retton ' s per- fect 10 ' s, one for her floor exercise and two for vaulting. Some of the 23rd Olympic Games ' glory might have been slightly dimmed had it not been for an athlete of a different breed. Volunteer Olympic organizer, Peter Ueberroth helped to make this the first year the event ended with a surplus of $215 million.

ROYAL CROWN ' COLA 7§£ Fairmont, West Virginia Nat ' l Sports • 187 Liberty: Symbol of Hope and Freedom G ive me your tired, your poor, your hud- dled masses yearning to break free. For nearly a century, the Statue of Liberty has been a symbol of hope and freedom. For 17 million immigrants, it was their first glimpse of this country as they arrived at nearby Ellis Island. Designed by French sculptor Frederic Auguste Bartholdi and engineered by Gustave Eiffel, the statue was a gift from the people of France to the people of the United States. The statue took nine years to create and cost $650,000. To raise funds for the $200,000 pedes- tal, a committee of private citizens, the Franco- American Union, was formed to secure contributions and school children in both coun- tries gave their pennies to help the dream be- come a reality. Joseph Pulitzer, a Hungarian immigrant, used his newspapers to raise money for the statue. In addition, poet Emma Lazarus wrote a poem, The New Colosseus. It proceeds went to the ' Liberty fund. The poem is now inscribed on the statue ' s pedestal. The statue, which is also a lighthouse, was made of more than 300 copper plates shaped around plaster molds. Its inside is a unique sup- port system of metal beams. The statue was first assembled in France, then diassembled and shipped piece by piece to New York, where it was reassembled. The 151 -foot, 225-ton statue was then placed on 13-acre Liberty Island off the southern tip of Manhattan, where it can be seen for miles in all directions. The statue was dedicat- ed on Oct. 28, 1886, by President Theodore Roosevelt. In 1983, the statue was in dire need of repair. Her copper had turned a murkey green, the metal beams that support the interior had rusted in half and part of the torch had fallen into the river necessitating $210 million in repairs which were paid totally by private contributions. To raise funds, President Reagan formed the French-Amercian Committee, headed by Chrys- ler president Lee lacocca, whose father sailed past the statue in 1902 on his way from Italy to a new land. The committee solicited contributions from big businesses and sold items such as Liberty t-shirts and gold and silver Liberty coins while school chil- dren collected money. Repairs, begun on Jan. 24, 1984, were sched- uled to be completed by July 4, 1986. The Lady ' s rusted interior, torch and right arm were re- placed. Interior support beams were also re- placed by new, stronger steel and air conditioning and glass elevators were added. by Crystal Sloan FRIENDLY FURNITURE Dislincitive Home Furnishings 205 Adams Street Fairmont, WV 26554 (304) 366-9113 STEAK HOUSE RESTAURANT SPECIAUZING IN CHAR KO SEAFOOD STEAKS BROASTED On Smling CHICKEN Platter We reed The Chomps Owned and Operated by Al Sobo, FSC Alumni 905 Country Club Rd. 366-7252 The Gals and Guys with the Buy 216 Fairmont Avenue Fairmont, WV 26554 (304) 366-4460 188 • Liberty ANTHONY CHEVROLET Fairmont CHEVROLET Sales, Service and Rentals 1229 Country Club Road KETTERING BAKING COMPANY Fairmont ' s only full service bakery Liberty • 189 DEATHS • Baby Fae, 32 days old, the first human to receive the heart of an animal, died on Nov. 15, 1984.

It was slick going for a while, but somehow we trudged through. At last spring ar- rived and with it came thoughts of spring break, laying out — and term papers. For the seniors, however, spring meant something else — the end of their collegiate efforts and the begin- ning of their climb towards the top of the work world. Graduation also meant leaving friends and familiar surroundings in search of employment. On the positive side, they had no more term papers and assignments to worry about. On the athletic scene, the Falcon baseball, golf, ten- nis and cross-country teams strove towards the cham- pionships. Meanwhile, spring intramural competition in track and field, basketball, softball and other sports continued to attract both participants and spectators. As the semester wore on, the workload on students and faculty increased. Deadlines got closer and instruct tors rushed to fit in everything they had planned to cover. But plenty of activities were provided to ease the tension, including movies, dances, plays, concerts and the Beach Party. For all involved, 1985 represented the steady climb FSC made to improve itself and its students. ARTIFICIALLY produced waves make for an exciting afternoon freshman party at Wave Tech pool.
