But the Falcons lived up to the task. It was rough going, but then again it ' is every year. Campus construction proved to be the first ob- stacle forcing students to re-adjust their traveling habits. )ne by one the obstacles were overcome. From the flappers during Homecoming to flipping hamburgers in the Nickel to the Falcon mascot and swimmers exercising their wings , they all worked together to make FSC the town ' s talk. But people made the big difference. After all, they were the ones doing all the talking! u ,« to break is Opening 3 - To loosen up after an intense day of college preparations, incoming freshmen and counselors unwind at a dance in the Feaster Center. 4 Student Life CfMh Lils In between freshman orientation and graduation, numerous events kept students busy. Despite all the book reports, term papers and final exams of academic college life, it was Homecoming, guest speakers, plays, dances, banquets or concerts that kept all the talk buzzing Divider 5 ff n tudent Leaders k : Freshman counselors work hard to WL J make freshman orientation a success. W Without them, many freshmen would j be confused and disappointed. Guidance is provided by upper- classmen who are counselors to aide the newcomers in the start of college life. They were chosen by William Bailey and Michael Belmear, Student Affairs counselors, based on leadership skills, communication skills, and participa- tion in college activities. Eighty counselors were chosen out of 130 applicants. Counselors and administrators greeted the freshmen as they first encountered their new stomping grounds on Aug. 22. The three-day event was designed to give students a chance to be- come acquainted with the campus and each other. However, preparation time took a lot longer than three days. Counselors attended a training session Aug. 18-20 at Mountwood, located near Parkersburg to learn to work as a team and to generate and limit conversation. The focal point was how to involve quiet students to make them feel like they belonged. According to Bailey, The counselors have to be role models. They must be able to provide the basic information so that the students will have someone to go to with their problems or questions. On the first evening of orientation, Billy Crystal ' s hit song inspired the class of 1990 into consuming marvelous hot dogs, potato chips and pop at a picnic in the parking lot above the library. The new freshmen ' s first day of orientation saw them involved in various activities, like gathering in groups by birth- days, squatting on each other ' s laps while trying to walk in a complete circle and hugging other people who were complete strangers. Soon, nearly everyone became accustomed to intro- ducing themselves repeatedly. Orientation gave freshmen a few extra days to make a dorm room feel like home. Freshman Counselors enjoyed a relaxed but competitive game of volleyball during train- ing camp at Mountwood in Parkersburg. 6 Freshman Orientation New freshman could be seen moving their posses- sions into the dorm during the three day orientation which began Aug. 22. One of the 80 freshman counselors who attended training camp at Mountwood takes a minute to catch up on the news. Eighty counselors greeted freshmen August 22 to begin a three-day orientation to acquaint them with the campus and each other. Arriving at Mountwood, near Parkersburg, 80 upperclassmen prepare for intense training as freshman counselors. Student Government president Tim Watson greeted freshman during the first evening of orientation in the parking lot above the brary. Freshman Orientation 7 The freshman counselors had to get in on the act and topped off the evening by giving a variety show in the Wallman Hall Auditorium. The counselors creatively explained the Twelve Days of College and displayed their talents in lip-synching, aero- bics, acting and an all-male beauty pageant. On the second day, college presi- dent Dr. Wendell G. Hardway and Student Government president Tim Watson greeted the newcomers. Afterwards, the freshmen broke into groups and counselors helped guide them through the confusion of pay- ing tuition and buying books. A dance in the Feaster Center provided time for the freshmen to unwind and meet new people. On the last day of orientation, freshmen representatives were elected to student government and counselors answered ques- tions about college lite. A pizza party in the Feaster Center again toMi provided time to unwind and meet more people. The counselors also gave the students their phone numbers, in case they were ever in need of further assistance. Even after classes began, freshman counselors were still visibly seen across campus to help anyone who still felt lost or out-of-place, be- cause adjusting to a new place takes longer than the three days set aside for orientation. The first week of a new way of life provided many new experiences, in- cluding dorm life, communting, mak- ing new friends, and most important, a sense of independence. Even after three days of walking across campus to find themselves in the wrong rooms, standing in lines for what seemed like hours and dropping loads of books, freshmen settled nicely. They had found a new home on the hill with a little help from the counselors. 8 Freshman Orientation Counselors grill hot dogs (or the freshman picnic held in the parking lot behind the library. Getting everyone involved in various ac- tivities was the goal of freshman coun- selors. Group activities were a major part of rreshman orientation, allowing students to meet fellow students and get ac- quainted with counselors. Freshman Orientation 9 P 7 } I m As early as classes began, so did Hj B I preparation for the biggest event of M _ _ the fall. As the weeks progressed, Stu- i B dent Government officers chose the Roaring ' 20s as the 1985 Homecoming theme. The Roaring ' 20s officially kicked off on Monday, Oct. 21 with a performance of ' 20s music by Tennessee ' s comedian gui- tarist Brian Hussey. Tuesday was a night out at the movies for students, featuring Charlie Chaplin and the Three Stooges. Thursday was a bustle of activity as floats were completed, band instruments and shoes were shined by the Fighting Falcon marching band and candidates were lined up. At 6 p.m. the parade stepped off down Fairmont Avenue where the streets were lined with many students, faculty and townspeople despite the rainy weather that had plagued the day. Fourteen queen candidates and Parade Marshall Anne Holbert, a 1939 alumnis, headed the lineup. The whole thing was fun — working on the float and the parade, commented Jane Fichtner, home economics major and queen candidate. My driver and I couldn ' t get the roof down on my car. We finally got it fixed and went on in the parade. oaring Twenties After the parade, the Turley Center ballroom rocked with the sounds of the band Staircase. Roaring ' 20s costumes were worn by students, faculty and staff, bringing to life the characters of the Prohibition Era. Flappers, gangsters, gamblers and characters from the Cotton Club were all in attendance, with period music like the Charleston being popular. During a break in the dance, the finalists for Homecoming queen were chosen. By choosing yellow colored roses, the field of 14 candidates was narrowed to five. They included Kari Carlson, Masquers ROTC Rangers; Sherry Christian, Sigma Sig- ma Sigma; Tina Cinelli, TKE; Denise Clark, Phi Mu; and Jane Fichtner, Home Economics Technology. According to Miss Fichtner, it was luck that she chose the right rose. I picked the rose closest to me and though it was just a yellow wrapper. Everyone was very happy and excited for me. When Saturday finally arrived, the Homecoming excitement had reached a peak. With a warm, sunny October afternoon, Rosier Field was filled with fans ready for a tough football contest. The Falcons took on the Shepherd Rams and needed a win to stay in the race for the WVIAC title. During four exciting quarters of football, the defense held the Rams to four scores Representing a saloon from the ' 20s. the Tri- Sigma float carried members dressed in tra- ditional costumes. During the parade, a game wheel from the float fell into the street and stopped the parade for a few minutes. The Spirit of St. Louis was the title of the Sigma Pi float which contained hand painted drawings by senior Jim McCloskey. The float took second place in the competition. Members of the military color guard prepare to step off down Fairmont Avenue to begin the annual Homecoming parade. 10 Homecoming Everyone loves the Falcon mascot, especially little children. During the Shepherd game. Falcon Duane Eldridge met up with one little girl who wanted a hug. Members of the staff got involved in the idea of the roaring ' 20s with a variety of costumes. They posed with Dr. Wendell Hardway in the president ' s office. Following the parade, a dance was held in the Turley Center featuring the sound of Staircase. Many stu- dents enjoyed the night of dancing prior to the candidate drawing. During halftime ceremonies. Freshmen atten- dant Susan Berardi and her escort wait attentive- ly for the announcement of the 1985 queen. Leading the parade down Fairmont Avenue, the Falcon marching band created a spirit- filled atmosphere despite the rain showers. Roaring Twenties ll while the Falcon offense racked up 44 points enroute to a 44-17 victory. During the halftime ceremonies, the marching band per- formed and winners of the float and banner contests were an- nounced. The TKE ' s took first place in the float competition with their Key- stone Cop float. Sigma Pi fraternity ' s Spirit of St. Louis float took second place and the Speak Easy float by Theta Xi fraternity received third place. In the banner competition, Alpha Phi Sigma won first place followed by the Criminal Justice Club in second and Baptist Campus Ministries in third place. All fourteen candidates and Fresh- man Attendant Lisa Gianettino were present when the public address announcer called the name of Jane Fichter as the 1985 Homecoming Queen. She was crowned by Dr. Wendell Hard- way and Student Government secretary Lisa Heishman. I had to look over at my escort Tom Strickling to make sure they had called my name, explained Miss Fichter. I could see all my friends from Home Ec. cheering in the crowd. It went so fast that I can ' t believe it happened. I received my crown and a kiss from Dr. Hardway and then I was sur- rounded by the other girls. I was so excited that night I went out with my friends and celebrated. After the game, happy fans went home to post-game parties, savoring memories of Homecoming. For Miss Fichter the memories will last for a very long time. I would like to thank the Technol- ogy Division and the Home Ec. De- partment for helping me to win. If it weren ' t for them I don ' t think I would have won. I met a lot of new friends and all the other candidates. I was so excited and I just want to thank them for this great opportunity. fe Once again the defense did the trick as the Falcons kept Shepherd to only 17 points. Combined with the offense, FSC slaughtered the Rams 44-17 for the Homecoming victo- A large crowd began to gather at Rosier Field for the annual Homecoming matchup, many for the game and a few just for the halttime ceremonies.

Skills in working with sophisticated computers and other office equipment necessary in today ' s business world continue to provide changes for the Commerce Division as they continue state-of-the-art training. New equipment, an associate degree in word process- ing and office automation, and the prospective addition of a banking major are among the changes, according to division chairman Robert Bowers. Word processing and EDP classes on micro-comput- ers became part of the new curriculum with the use of micro-computers in business education classes. Micro- computers were also essential to investment, marketing and accounting instruction this year. Dr. Bowers said that because of a statewide demand for 1,300 banking employees, a banking major was re- quested and submitted for approval by the West Virginia Board of Regents. Should the new major be approved, Dr. Bowers said the hiring of a full-time faculty member to teach banking and accounting would follow. The micro-computer lab had 14 IBM-PC computers for use in all areas of commerce instruction. Glenn Har- man, accounting coordinator, said the department was involved in using computer technology in the work role. Gary Bennett, assistant professor, said that students were taught to use software in accounting through the prep- aration of financial statements and spread sheets applica- tion, a process that projects what will happen in the business world. A new course in income tax preparation was added to the accounting department this year. The course, with a 20-student enrollment, assisted in a voluntary income tax assistant preparation program. Bennett supervised stu- dents in assisting a qualified group in preparing their tax forms. These students performed a community service helping low-income, elderly and non-English speaking groups from Feb. 1 through April 15, on the FSC campus. SAM, Society for Advancement of Management, advised by Mark Friend, associate professor of com- merce, set a goal to familiarize its members with the many unique aspects of a business in the real world. In the fall, members toured the General Motors plant in Lordstown, Ohio. Members also took a trip to Pitts- burgh to visit KDKA-TV and watch first-hand what actually goes on inside the doors of a TV station. A trip to Los Angeles was planned for the spring. Future Secretaries Association throughout the year attended monthly seminars on various topics includ- ing Executive Dressing, Interviewing Skills, and Weightwatching Tips. Associate professor of commerce Dorothy Coffin- daffer served as adviser and helped members conduct panel discussions with lawyers and other professionals in the Fairmont area on job requirements and job responsi- bility issues. 14 Academics, Organizations Each year many groups can be called unique because of different and creative things they do to spark interest and arouse curiosity in their organization. One organiza- tion, however, demonstrated its uniqueness in a different manner. The Student Education Association displayed its uniqueness through the diversity of its members, educa- tion majors from elementary and secondary fields, all with different views and concerns. SEA held meetings and events to cope with these educational differences and concerns. Stephen Haid of the West Virginia Education Association discussed problems with rural schools, particularly their funding difficulties. Brendajoe, president of the Marion County Education Association, covered teachers ' rights and re- sponsibilities as teachers. Faculty members also dis- cussed specializations for those who were undecided about teaching fields. Overall, SEA ' s uniqueness, shown through in its pro- gram, helped members grow professionally and person- ally together to be the teachers of today for the leaders of tomorrow. Kappa Delta Pi recognized outstanding contribu- tions to education by extending membership to students considered to exhibit membership to students consid- ered to exhibit commendable personal qualities, worthy educational ideals above a 3.0 academic average. The education honorary strove to maintain a high degree of professionalism among its members and to quicken pro- fessional growth by honoring achievement in education- al work. Strictly an honorary, Kappa Delta Pi is traditionally not active at FSC with the exception of two initiation dinners held at the end of each semester. For the first time, an FSC student may graduate with a bachelor ' s degree in education, but not be licensed to teach, said Dr. Harry Hadley, dean of teacher education. The education division was involved in changing its college teacher training program to meet specifications set by the West Virginia Department of Education to enhance education at all levels in the state. Under the new program students enrolled in educa- tion, Dr. Hadley said, are required to take preprofessional and content specialization tests to be certified. The tests have statewide cutoff scores. Current education majors were required to take only the National Teachers Exam, a $75 test with no cutoff scores. Incoming education students, however, are re- quired to take, in place of the present exam, the pre- professional Skills Test for $50 and the National Evalua- tion System Test for $90. The preprofessional test covering reading, writing and mathematics, was designed to assess prospective educa- tors ' abilities to understand and use given information. The content specialization test assessed how well stu- dents have mastered their particular field. Changes in the licensing pattern caused changes in course content, student teaching and program require- ments. The human growth and development class was adjusted to include the new age groups within the cur- rent patterns. For example, students might be required to student teach longer to fulfill certification requirements within their projected teaching age range. Elementary teachers had to add West Virginia history to their program to meet new state requirements. Pro- spective teachers were told to have computer literacy, which involved knowing appropriate software for var- ious age groups. fmmtmmmmm. WMi Commerce, Education 15 mm ?m? Something always appeared to be going on in Wall- man Hall. The Fine Arts Division, housed in that round building, virtually always had an event in progress. One major occurence in particular was the Board of Regents ' acceptance of a letter of intent from the college concerning the re-institution of the bachelor of Arts in Theatre. According to Fine Arts chairman Leta Carson, this has not been the first time FSC offered this particular degree. A cost-cutting move in 1984 eliminated the theatre major, ' ' Dr. Carson said. However, the need for such a degree has long been recognized in the department. Besides the unusual usual fine arts activities, an ongoing play, concert, recital, or an art exhibit usually was in some stage of preparation, presentation or evalua- tion. With the attainment of the new degree, major campus theatrical productions should return to four a year, along with additional student productions. Thus, the Fine Arts Division continued as a veritable hub of activity. Awards for best musical series and best overall chapter were awarded to Sigma Alpha Iota, women ' s profes- sional music honorary during SAI ' s international con- vention in Phoenix, Ariz. Involved in many service projects this year, the nine members, advised by Janet Gilmer, part-time music in- structor, visited nursing homes, went carolling, and orga- nized a program for the local women ' s club. The organi- zation presented its annual recital featuring American music and works of a local composer. This year ' s select- ed works were those of Philip Glass, composer of the 1984 Olympic theme. Membership in the organization required that stu- dents maintain a 2.5 average and overall 3.2 in music average. Members, who need not be music majors, need- ed at least 12 hours in music, have to enjoy music itself, and want to further and uphold SAI standards. FSCs chapter 315 of the music teacher ' s professional organization, advised by Dr. Harry Falk, professor of music had 35 members who met monthly to listen to featured guest speakers discussing topics associated with teaching music. The students in MENC sponsored the invitational stage band festival on campus to raise money for their organization. They also worked during the state solo and ensemble festival Feb. 15, and music teacher ' s associ- ation conference Nov. 23 on campus. MENC students also participated in the March state music conference, during which two FSC students were selected state offi- cers. Robin Woodward was selected state president, and Kim Parent was selected secretary. The organization is officially known as the West Vir- ginia Student Music Educator ' s Association affiliate of MENC. 16 Academics, Organizations Theatre students gained recognition from being on stage and working in theatre, but the highest honor of recognition came from becoming members of Alpha Psi Omega the honorary drama fraternity. The Alpha chapter or cast, of Alpha Psi Omega in recognition of outstanding theatre students, were re- quired to earn points in acting and technical theatre to become members of the international organization. Alpha Psi Omega was founded at Fairmont State un- der the guidance of the late Dr. Paul F. Opp in 1923. Since then over 700 casts have been organized in the United States and throughout the world. Officers of the Alpha cast, advised by Jo Ann Lough, associate professor of speech communication and the- atre, were Jayne Traugh, president; Rich Myers, vice president; and Helen Patrick secretary-treasurer. Building a float for the Homecoming parade and sponsoring a candidate for the Miss FSC pageant became major projects for the Water Polo Club formed in 1977-78 by swimming Coach Steve Mahaney to provide non-varsity swimmers chances to compete in a varsity sport. In its first few years of existence, the club participated in water polo matches with other schools along the east coast, but the group has not had a competitive match in three years. We stopped having matches for two reasons, said Mahaney. One, because I moved swimming practice up to the beginning of September and all the members of the club are swimmers; and two, because the sport is extremely dangerous and we were getting some people injured. All members of the swimming teams are in the club, but Mahaney noted that anyone interested in joining would be considered. The fitness craze is still alive, according to Colin Ca- meron, chairman of the Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Safety Division, which reports a 5 percent increase in students majoring in the program. It ' s here, and it ' s here to stay. In light of the public ' s continued interest with staying in shape, a new fitness program was offered through the Fairmont State Community College. Adults were tested for physical fitness and, based on the test ' s results, pre- scribed a program especially for them. They were then tested at the end of their program to evaluate its success. Physiology students worked with the testing in the lab, Cameron said. The program was expected to be expanded into a student testing program for athletes. One hour of physical education was included in the general studies requirements to give students carryover activities such as tennis, golf and volleyball, Cameron said. Also offered was a basic physiological conditioning course geared to teach students what they needed to know to stay physically fit for the rest of their lives. Besides the classes offered, students also enjoyed swimming, racquetball, volleyball, basketball, weightlift- ing and jogging in the indoor facilities of the Feaster Center. Football, baseball, tennis and frisbee toss were some of the activities offered outdoors. Fine Arts, HPERS 17 mmm vm? Change was a real challenge for all our programs, said Dr. Paul Edwards, chairman of the Health Careers Division, which consisted of two-year programs in medi- cal lab technology, medical records technology, nursing and veterinary technology. The nationally accredited programs changed continu- ously, Dr. Edwards said, so graduating students were trained to meet area health institutions ' needs. A community-based advisory, comprised of represen- tatives from nearby health institutions, helped determine the future needs of employers. They were quick to tell us if we are doing something differently than they were, Dr. Edwards said. Veterinary technology students gained experience working at the state depository for injured birds of prey, the West Virginia Raptor Rehabilitation Center, which moved to Fairmont State this year. The students were responsible for nurturing the birds until they were able to return to their natural habitat. Their care was a very good experience for the students, Dr. Edwards said. Plans underway for a bachelor of science program in nursing should be completed by 1988, Dr. Edwards said. All the health programs had fine reputations, he said. They were the only FSC programs with selected and limited enrollment. For example, only 60 of 300 nursing applicants are accepted. Any of the four division programs could serve as the first two years of a bachelor ' s degree in Allied Health. To become certified after graduating, students took national certifying exams. The percentage of passing rates on all the tests increased, Dr. Edwards said. The Medical Laboratory Technology program is hands on work experience , said Jo Ann Burns, MLT program coordinator. Through work experience practicums, students learned to work under supervision in areas such as chem- istry, blood bank, hematology and microbiology. The MTL Student Association raised funds by selling candy and stitchery to fund a May trip to the State Society for Medical Technology convention in Charles- ton. Money second-year Student Nurses Association raised from fall sub sale was used to provide necessities, said Aletta Moffett, first and second year club adviser. During spring semester both first and second-year students participated April 13 in the Lions Club Eye Clinic at FSC. The nurses took blood pressure and checked children for amblyopia, the lazy-eye disorder, she said. The name of the Veterinary Technology Associ- ate Degree program, the only one of its kind in the state, changed from veterinary assistant during the 1985- 86 academic year. The addition of a $5,000 hand-held portable x-ray machine used for farm animals helped secure the nation- al accreditation after the program was on probation. Other department additions included a resusciation dog for a CPR course and a raptors center for birds of prey. 18 Academics, Organizations The Student Medical Records Association raised money for their April 16 dinner, featuring speaker Niki Hutzler, R.R.A., from Parkersburg. The officers were Chris Hardway, president; Melissa Marton, vice president; Angela Smith, secretary; Stacie Morgan, treasurer; Susan Tatterson, activities officer; and Melanie Wilkinson, first year representative. The Alliance Francaise of Fairmont State spon- sored the International Education Committee, which in turn sponsored the fall reception for foreign students. The alliance was founded in 1972 by adviser Christiane Sweeney and is open to any student interested in study- ing France or French culture. Sigma Tau Delta, honorary for students in an Eng- lish language related major, emphasized the cosmopoli- tan by sponsoring an educational and cultural trip of the British Isles last June and the campus visit of a Fairmont native, now a well-known novelist. Summer 1985 saw a 24-day trip to Europe June 8-July 2. Fifty-one people, including 21 Fairmont State stu- dents, toured England, Southern Ireland, Wales and Scotland. The trip studied the English literature and educational majors. The group visited schools in London as well as Shakespeare ' s home, the London Theatre and Canter- bury. Computers are being used more for instructional and organizations purposes in the Language and Literature Division, which consists of English, foreign language, journalism and library science. Expository and technical writing are the first English courses in which we are formally trying to incorporate computer science into the students ' activities, said Dr. Byron Jackson, division chairman. Students actually composed at the computer during scheduled lab time, resulting in a more concise and efficient method of writing themes and term papers. A number of English professors with computer exper- ience used computers for grading purposes. Dr. Charles Poston spent a recent sabattical preparing a program to grade compositions more efficiently. Dr. Leland George began instructing new writing courses using computers. Foreign language instruction expanded teaching tech- niques with the computer. The French Department had 10 programs for intermediate students, said Christiane Sweeney, French coordinator. Students enrolled in the 199 Foundations course spent one hour with the comput- er and one hour in the language lab to receive credit for the course. Library director Robert Masters said students saw more changes in the library as it invested in a local library system using computer terminals in place of the card catalog, bringing about changes in instruction for library science majors. Journalism students taking Advanced Reporting con- tinued to receive hands-on computer experience during their internship at the Times-West Virginian, said Jane Dumire, journalism coordinator. In addition the depart- ment planned to link student publications Macintosh Plus Computer network to the academic program when funding is allocated from the division. ■■-- ' ' ■ ' Health Careers Language Lit. l9 mm vm? Independent student reseatch, hosting seminat speak- ers, adding new faculty member Dr. Harry Baxter, and computer purchases were some of the events and changes taking place in the Science and Math Division. Several speakers and senior biology and chemistry majors were involved in independent research guided by biology professor Steve Stephenson and division head William Ruoff. Seminar speakers sponsored by the division visited the FSC campus from Ohio U., Pitt, WVU, and Marshall. Computers were used in the biology and chemistry classes. Students doing independent projects also har- nessed the computers ' power. The division continued to add to the number of computers available to students and faculty. Along with the new happenings in the division, classes in geology, mathematics, physical science and physics progressed as usual, with many instructors keeping their students up to date with related current events of the world. Observations of Halley ' s Comet, space probes and satellites were some of the topics discussed in classes. In the everchanging flap of science, FSCs science and math division moved to keep pace. The American Chemical Society, an international organization dealing with the chemical sciences, was designed to promote scientific interests and inquiry. The society, which began nationally in 1876 and local- ly at FSC in 1964, provided in-depth research through guest speakers, field trips and student seminars. The society held many social activities related to chemistry throughout the year. Christmas they decorated a tree with ornaments made of chemical substances. They also had many fundraising activities, such as gath- ering and recycling of aluminum cans. Faculty sponsor Elizabeth D. Swiger, professor of chemistry, said she believed the society was beneficial to students. One of the things the society does is offer help in future employment, she said. The speeches and journals broadened a student ' s hori- zons. To provide opportunities to explore the life sciences, Beta Beta Beta, biology honorary, helped rehabilitate injured hawks, falcons and other birds of prey. Members of the organization also participated in con- ventions, field trips, and nature explorations geared at stimulating interests in the life sciences. The society had four types of memberships: active, associate, graduate and honorary. Active members had to be biology majors and maintain B averages in biology. Associate members were undergraduates not eligible for active membership. Graduate members completed their undergraduate studies, and honorary members were elected for significant contributions to the society. Founded in 1922, the society boasted over 100,000 persons accepted into lifetime memberships. Twelve ac- tive members belong to the organization at FSC. 20 Academics, Organizations WK M The social science honorary, Phi Gamma Mu, en- couraged excellence among students participating in so- cial science programs. Membership required interested juniors and seniors to maintain a 3.0 average in at least 21 hours of social science courses including economics, geography, histo- ry, philosophy, psychology, political science and sociolo- gy. In addition, an eligible student had to rank in the top 35 percent of the class. Membership included a two-year subscription to In- ternal Social Science Review , and offered students aca- demic recognition, advancement in government service rating, and chances to work with people with similar interests. Founded in 1924 at Southwestern College and William and Mary College, Pi Gamma Mu had over 150 chapters with 150,000 members, according to adviser JoAnn Van- Horn. The Psi Imicron chapter of Phi Alpha Theta, na- tional history honorary with more than 500 active chap- ters, recognized and encouraged excellence in the study of history, according to director Mary Morgan, history professor. The national chapter awarded six annual scholarships for graduate students and sponsored an annual contest for papers written in historical subjects. To be eligible for membership students had to be juniors or seniors who had completed at least 12 hours in history, with a 3.0 average or above, and ranked in the top 35 percent of the class. Criminal justice, geography, history, philosophy, po- litical science, psychology and sociology programs in the Division of Social Sciences improved in increased com- puter hardware for classroom instruction, office automa- tion for exam making and the addition of a new degree program. According to Dr. Yu San Wang, division chairman, the new degree, the bachelor of science in human ser- vices, was an extension of the existing bachelor of sci- ence in sociology with emphasis in human service and increased employment opportunities for the students in the area of social services. While no new instructors were added to the division ' s faculty this year, Dr. Wang saw the possibility in another year of adding someone in the criminal justice program, the largest program in the division, with 140 majors. Criminal justice majors required to have internships for practical training were sent to law enforcement agen- cies, such as the sheriff ' s office, the police department, or a correctional facility. Psychology seniors were also required to participate in on-the-job-training. The had to have 12 credit hours of practical training to graduate. They went to various hos- pitals and social service agencies such as senior citizen centers for practicums. Six students from the division went to Charleston during the legislative session to work learning the legisla- tive process. The students selected were not required to be social science majors or minors but were selected on a campus-wide basis. While these students worked in the capital city anywhere from one week to one month to earn credit, others stayed a whole semester to work for the executive branch. These students worked for the governor ' s office, com- missioner ' s offices and various departments. On one hand, they participated in the government process and learned how it operated. On the other hand, they re- ceived payments to help with their expenses. fa ■ Science Math, Social Science 21 $mm vm? Students in the Division of Technology, guided and supported by their professors, continued to reach for lofty goals. The Technology Education Department, formerly In- dustrial Arts, created a company that produced a prod- uct, in this case drafting tables, from inception to pro- duction to sale. Projects of this kind make the Technol- ogy Education Department the premier program of its kind in the United States, with none as far along as it is, according to Dr. William Griscom, division chairman. Other departments were active in their pursuit of ex- cellence. For example, the Architecture Department took a trip to New York City and won a National award for Best Student Organization Project, and the Civil Engineering Department won first place in a Concrete Design Project at Penn State by racing a concrete canoe weighing less than 175 pounds. Another strong program that Fairmont ' s Division of Technology boasted was its safety degree. Remarks made by industrial recruiters indicated that the strong emphasis on science, math and toxicology made the FSC bachelor of science in safety degree unique among other four-year safety programs. Change and improvement, the foundations of tech- nology, were evident within the division itself. A new associate degree was added in 1985 with the Home Eco- nomics Department ' s Fashion Merchandising Program, coordinated by instructor Beth Thorne and electronics instructor Gary Devine-King joined the division ' s staff. With new programs, new activities, new faculty, and a desire to excell, at least so far as the Division of Technol- ogy was concerned, 1986 was a very good year. The American Institute of Architecture ' s 25 mem- bers promoted greater interaction between the students themselves and the students in the professional commu- nity, said Lee Gray, club adviser. Members attended the annual meeting of the West Virginia Society of Architects in December and pre sent- ed a display of student works. Then in January, three club members, Kathy Prior, Julie Hutchins and Jerry Bankovich, and Gray participat- ed in a photographic survey of the flood damaged areas from the November flood. American Society for Civil Engineering ' s 20 members planned, designed and built a two-man con- crete canoe for the April 26 races at Penn State. The canoe, made of concrete and wire reinforcement, was judged for design and maneuverability. Members competed against other colleges and universities in six different races, said adviser Gary Zickefoose. Last year the club won the design award. A new student professional group on campus, the Computer Graphics Association, became the first West Virginia chapter of the American Institute of De- sign and Drafting. The organization planned to develop the organization statewide and then to begin work on designing logos, developing a newsletter and taking field trips. Membership was open to anyone interested. 22 Academics, Organizations National, regional and local activities occupied mem- bers of American Society for Nondestructive Test- ing as they had another active year. Major happenings included National Student Direc- tor Mark Hart ' s work on a National Honor Society for ASNT and a curriculum guideline for NDT courses to be submitted to ABET, the college certification board; chapter president Alan Huffman ' s groundwork for the chapter ' s long range goal of an associate ' s degree in NDT at Fairmont State; a trip to Harman High School to speak to juniors and seniors about NDT; a guest speaker on airborne distance measurement using ultrasonics; and a meeting in Huntington of the Tri-State Section of ASNT. Computerization of printing methods became a major concern for the Graphics Communication Associ- ation, designed to help generate a universal interest in the field of graphics. Members of the group, participated in field trips dur- ing the year, including a visit to the Times West Virgin- ian to study its printing methods. Additional emphasis was placed on learning different computerized graphics applications and developments currently coming on line in the industry. Epsilon Pi Tau, technology honorary established in 39 countries, was the only international honorary on campus and the only chapter in West Virginia. Members took a field trip in the fall to General Mo- tor ' s stamping and assembling plant in Lordstown, Ohio. •• ' .J : ' :■ Availability of scholarship for Engineering Tech Society (E.T.S.) members from the American Society for Certified Engineers and Technicians became reality in spring 1986. Earlier in the year, ASCET, a national organi- zation for engineering technology, contacted ETS advis- ers and offered scholarships for which all club members were eligible. One hundred dollar and $500 scholarships were available. The club, after opening the year with a pizza party to interest perspective members, toured Al Can Aluminum, where ETS members observed computer applications to materials used in making aluminum cans. Next they went to Harrison Power Station, where co-energy is trans- formed into electrical energy and read out computers. To end the year, another pizza party was given for the installation of new officers. The Industrial Arts Club ' s 12 members coordinated a Technology Update Day last fall. State and county supervisors, teachers and students were able to observe products and look at activities in the areas of construc- tion, transportation, communication, and manufacturing technology. The club also produced newsletters during fall and spring semesters for the West Virginia Industrial Arts Association, the first time in four years that the state association had a newsletter, said adviser Gary Bolyard. It was to be an ongoing project for the club. Then, during April, members conducted workshops and judged and coordinated some of the contests held during the West Virginia American Industrial Arts Stu- dent Association conference. Technology 23 $mm jcl p Debating is more than just an organized argument; and intercollegiate debating is an activity just as wide- spread and competitive as intercollegiate football. Intercollegiate debate, a contest between two two- person teams who are rated by a judge or panel of judges, began work shortly after July 15, when the na- tional collegiate debate topic was announced. The 1985-86 topic was, Resolved: that more rigorous academic standards should be established for all public, elementary and or secondary schools in the United States in more of the following areas: language, arts, mathematics, natural s ciences. The debators then researched the topic and prepared cases supporting the resolution and arguments against it. Around Oct. 1, the debate season began with teams meeting on a selected college campus. As many as 50 to 100 teams participated by going through many rounds of debates at the end of which a tournament winner emerged. Debate tournaments are designated as novice, for first year debators; junior varsity, for first or second year; and varsity, for advanced debators. The 1985-86 FSC debators were Tammy Hearn, Gayle Greer, Dan Calvert, Jennifer Boyce,Jean Sheppard and Susan Morris. The FSC debators participated in three tournaments during the 1985 fall semester winning team and individ- ual awards in each tournament. The team finished their debating season 10th overall out of 40 schools. The novice team finished 7th, the j.v. team finished 6th, and the varsity finished 18th. The FSC intercollegiate debate squad was composed of approximately 10-12 students. Any full-time student with an interest in debate and at least a 2.0 grade-point average was eligible to participate. The debate team was coached by Michael Overking, associate professor of speech communication. Delta Sigma Rho-Tau Kappa Alpha the national honor society for students who excel in intercollegiate forensic debate, was started on the FSC campus in 1970, by faculty members Suzanne Snyder and Michael Overk- ing. To be eligible for membership, students must have at least two years of intercollegiate forensic competition experience and rank in the upper 32% of his college class. Each academic year, FSC inducts two to three members in this society during a formal ceremony usually held at the home of a faculty member. For the second consecutive year the FSC chapter of Alpha Phi Sigma was selected as national head quarters of the organization from among the 105 chapters com- prising the national criminal justice honor society. Members of the chapters participated in the national convention in March in Orlando, where the selection was made. Other activities consisted of a tour to the Moundsville Penitentiary and a trip to the Association of the College Honor Society in Arlington. The society also attended a symposium at the Indiana Pa. University and later toured the Federal Law Enforce- ment Training Center in Glynco, Ga. While in Georgia the society established an internship program and held an FBI seminar on criminal personality profile. During the Homecoming parade, Alpha Phi Sigma placed first in the Banner Contest and the Activities Fair took third place. 24 Academics, Organizations The International Relations Club, interested in promoting the international culture and affairs, gave a reception for foreign students att ending the college dur- ing the fall semester. The showing of several films, such as Bakhtiari, a tribe in the Middle East, some on Islamic and Arabic culture, and another on Latin America concerned with domestic violence, proved to be the major activity of the club, whose purpose is to generate a better understand- ing of people of different cultures in this shrinking world. The club was essentially inactive this year, according to adviser Patricia Ryan, political science professor. Twenty political science members attended the annual convention of the West Virginia Political Science Asso- ciation in Huntington during the fall. Convention participants heard Phillip Converse of the University of Michigan, who is a noted authority on political behavior, and a political cartoonist from the Charleston Gazette. The Political Science Club, a non-partisan group, was interested in promoting the study of politics, politi- cal science and the discussion of public affairs. The club was essentially inactive this year according to adviser Patricia Ryan, professor of political science. Election of home economics representative Jane Ann Fichtner as Homecoming Queen 1985 highlighted the fall semester of events for the Home Economics Club. Fichtner was also a contestant in the FSC pageant, April 14. As part of the program she planned to present a fashion show of clothing she had designed. Her presen- tation also included her commentary on the clothing. The club held events during the spring semester, such as open house on April 10, and sponsored the senior dessert on April 29. Members also participated in the Division of Technology Banquet on April 4. There were about 15 members in the club. The officers were Kelly Townsend, president; Veronica Snodgrass, vice president; Vikki Toothman, secretary; and Lisa Greenlief Jefferies, treasurer. Associate home economics professor Judith Radcliff was club adviser. The student chapter of the Society of Mining Engi- neers continued to seek exposure to the real world of the working mining engineers by touring surface and under- ground mine facilities in the local area. Tours of area facilities included Daugherty Coal ' s sur- face mine and preparation plant in Preston county; Southern Ohio ' s Martinka underground mine and prep plant in Marion county; and Consolidation coal ' s Love- ridge underground mine in Marion and Monongalia county. In addition to mine tours, SME members heard several guest speakers. A unique seminar comparing engineering curricula with that of engineering technology was pre- sented by the associate dean of the College of Mineral and Energy Resources at WVU, who was assisted by the chairman of WVU ' s Mining Engineering Department. Fine Arts, Social Science, Technology 25 mm vm? The 1985-86 school year saw the involvement of FSC fraternities with various community services and social activities ranging from floor relief to fund raisers. Sigma Pi members were involved in a lot of commu- nity services according to adviser Jean Ward. Members of the fraternity went into flood devastated areas and helped clean up mud and debris in several area nursing homes. In addition to their involvement in fund raisers for the Salvation Army, the fraternity participated in several Bowl-A-Thons for the United Way, and were involved with the annual Crop Walk, Basketball Invita- tional Tournament and the Special Olympics Track Meet. Sigma Pi also served as Big Brothers in the Step- ping Stone Foster Home for boys, according to Ward. Theta Xi members were involved in flood relief, donating food and clothes to devastated families in Par- sons, Marlinton and Rowlesburg, according to president Brian Henderson. Along with the Phi Mu sorority, the fraternity held the annual Marion County senior citizens dinner. They par- ticipated in the Bowl-A-Thon for United Way and spon- sored car washes. The Theta Xi ' s were also involved in social activities as they participated in the FSC Scavenger Hunt and captured 3rd place in the Homecoming Float competi- tion, according to Henderson. Tau Kappa Epsilon donated time and effort to the Salvation Army, flood relief and the annual Blood Do- nor Day for FSC. They partcicipated in the Bowl-A- Thon for United Way, and Balloon Day for Easter Seals, according to president Patrick Mascaro. The TKEs as- sisted with the annual FSC Scholarship Dinner and had their annual Danny Thomas fund raising project for St. Judes Hospital. They donated to the FSC Foundation through the IFC and contributed to the FSC Chimes fund, according to Mascaro. The Interfraternity Panhellenic and Interfrater- nity Councils are made up of representatives from each fraternity and sorority. Their main functions are the co- ordination and sponsoring of Greek Week activities and the annual Holly Ball. In addition, the councils partici- pated in the Bowl-A-Thon for United Way on March 3. They are under the advisership of William Julian and Michelle Casteel. The Women ' s Panhellenic expanded the format of the Miss FSC pageant, their most important activity. While previous years saw only eight or nine coeds partici- pating, this year twenty-three FSC women vied for the title April 23rd in Wallman Hall. This pageant included a first, categories to select a Miss Photogenic and a Miss Congeniality. Contestants were sponsored by campus organizations. John Maciwee, a local fashion coordinator, served as the master of ceremonies and the winner was chosen by West Virginia certified judges. Entertainment was pro- vided by Bobby Nichols. Since the Miss FSC pageant is a preliminary for the Miss America contest, the same rules apply for the cam- pus pageant as does for the Miss America Pageant. Two FSC winners, Kelly Anderson and Kelly Carr, have gone on to become Miss West Virginia and com- pete in the Miss USA contest. Women ' s Panhellenic is a council composed of 12 members representing each sorority. They meet once a week to plan activities that include a formal rush for three days during the fall semester, homecoming open houses and teas for sorority alumni, a less formal spring rush and a December Holly Ball held in the FSC Ball- room. 26 Academics, Organizations 9NG The number one sorority scholastically during the fall term of all campus sororities was the Epsilon Iota chapter of Delta Zeta, an organization founded on a scholar- ship. Because of Delta Zeta ' s high academic standards, the chapter is required by nationals to hold weekly study halls. The 25 members of the Epsilon Iota chapter also participated in many service activities, such as giving treats to Wishing Well Nursing Home residents for Thanksgiving and contributing to the State ' s flood vic- tims. They also gave food to the Glenville College Delta Zeta chapter after the flood. In addition, members donated money to the sorority ' s national philanthropy, Galludet College for the hearing and speech impaired. The money came from profits made raking leaves. A national loan fund and many scholarships are pro- vided for Delta Zeta members who need financial assis- tance. Delta Zeta helped each member to reach her highest potential through leadership and accepting responsibil- ities, commented Chris Harold, Delta Zeta president. The sorority was founded in 1902 at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, as the first national sorority. It became a FSC campus sorority Aug. 22, 1956. Delta Zeta ' s purpose is friendship. It gives confi- dence, support and encouragement in all phases of life, added Mrs. Harold. The semi-formal Carnation Ball and Homecoming activities highlighted activities of Phi Mu during the year. The Beta Chi chapter, originally the local Gamma Chi Chi sorority, was the first sorority established on campus. Gamma Chi Chi affiliated nationally with Phi Mu in 1966. Additional activities included holding a Halloween party for faculty and alumni children and sponsoring a faculty tea. Along with Theta Xi fraternity, Phi Mu also held a dinner for senior citizens. Members sponsored a Miss FSC candidate and held the Carnation Ball for their pledges. In addition, they held their annual Homecoming, tailgate and afterbash party for members and their guests. Their colors are rose and white, their flower, the rose carnation and their mascot, the lion. What do sailboats, pearls, violets, and royal purple and white have in common? To the average person, these items may mean nothing. But, to Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority, these are the symbols of their club motto, Faithful unto Death. The sorority, also known as the Alpha Kappa chapter, sponsored holiday theme parties for the patients at the East Side Emergency Hospital. They also participated in a bowl-a-thon for the United Way, and stuffed envelopes for the Easter Seals. The Sigma Sigma Sigma social service theme is Play Therapy for Hospitalized Children, and its national phil- anthropy is the Robbie Page Memorial. Members take turns putting up a bulletin board at Fairmont General Hospital, and also helped sponsor playrooms at North Carolina Memorial and the Children ' s Medical Center in Dallas. Fraternities, Sororities 27 $mm Jia? Getting students more involved in activities was the main goal of Student Government as they began the 1985-86 school year. Led by president Tim Watson, vice president Mitch Fisher, secretary Lisa Heischman, treasurer Rocco Zan- nino and parlimentarian Dan Calvert, the group had the task of planning events for the student body. The first major event was Homecoming. With the theme being the Roaring 20 ' s, activities included a per- formance by Brian Hussey, a parade, and a homecoming dance. Jane Fichtner was crowned queen at halttime ceremonies of the Shepherd game on Saturday after- noon. In addition to concerts by Howard Jones and George Thorogood, the group also sponsored performances by the Washington Ballet, the Touleusse Orchestra, and Paris pianists the Lebeck sisters. Students also had the opportunity to attend an opera entitled the Marriage of Figaro. Speakers sponsored by Student Government included former Pittsburgh Steeler, Franco Harris and executive director of the NAACP Benjamin Hooks. Dr. Wayne Dyer and Dr. William Parker both spoke on self confi- dence during spring semesters. After a long absence, the Advisory Council was re- vived this year. Made up of one representative from each campus organization, the group discussed problems of the organizations. The chairperson of the council also served as a voting member of Student Government. Students had the opportunity to receive free tutoring in any subject through the tutoring program. Student Government paid the students minimum wage. Typewriters were also made available to students in the Nickel and copy machines were placed in every building. I think overall that the year was very successful, and I believe the students had more input in school events than in years past, commented student body president, Wat- son. Alpha Phi Omega members were busy most of the ye ar giving tours to prospective FSC students. These tours, one of the regular services provided by the organi- zation, were designed to introduce people to the campus and advisers in their chosen field of study. The fraternity also worked at the community level, organizing fund raisers for various charities. In Novem- ber the group held a dance-a-thon to benefit missing children, and in October, in the true spirit of Halloween, members donned costumes and went trick or treating for UNICEF. Alpha Phi Omega, an international coed service frater- nity, is the only coed fraternity at Fairmont State. It provided students with opportunities to enjoy social ad- vantages of a fraternity and at the same time provide helpful services within the community and on campus. The Black Student Union devoted one week to the observance of Black History month. Activities during that week included a speech by Benjamin Hoos, execu- tive director of the NAACP; a fashion show and dance; a sports forum; and a program entitled The Voice of the Church. Patrick Harton, business major and president of the Black Student Union, became the first Fairmont State student to win a Truman Scholarship. He received his scholarship at the Harry Truman Presidential Library in Independence, Mo. The scholarship, named after the 33rd American presi- dent, covers academic expenses up to $5,000 annually for four years. Sophomores who have at least a B average, rank in the upper fourth of their class and exhibit an interest in a career in government were eligible for nomi- nation. 28 Academics, Organizations Circle K International, advised by Dr. Rayman Richardson, professor of physical science, was a campus service organization designed to develop community leaders who were not just concerned about social and environmental problems in their community, but who also became involved in finding solutions for them. Circle K members helped raise money for the Ameri- can Cancer Society in November by selling cookies. At Christmas time, members were spotted throughout various store locations, ringing bells for the Salvation Army. In addition to various community involvements, Cir- cle K members provided a program for students on the special Olympics program and other activities for the retarded children of Marion County. Beginning in the fall of 1985, the Wesley foundation helped students and their families who were victims of the floods in West Virginia. The foundation contacted various members of flood stricken families and also managed to obtain a grant from the Presbyterian Church to aid families. During the fall, the Wesley foundation helped spon- sor and design the Peace and Justice Class. By working with Student Affairs, the foundation has set up an Emergency Contact service in case students are involved in a serious accident or if there is a death in the family. Christian students often experienced trauma when dealing with collegiate morals and values. When these troubles became too rough, many turned to the Wesley Foundation and the Rev. Richard Bowyer. The ROTC program was divided into two phases, the basic course for freshmen and sophomores and the advanced course covering officer skills. During the first two years of the basic course, students learned the military mission, first aid and land navigation. Non-scholarship cadets were not required to wear uni- forms or get haircuts. Students could take beginning courses on a trial basis to see if ROTC was for them, and no commitment was made. College credit was awarded for the basic course. The advance course, the final two years of the ROTC program, prepared cadets as officers in the Army. Cadets in the advanced phase received subsistence allowances of $100-a-month totalling up to $1,000 a year, whether or not the person was a scholarship recipient. Much of the time spent in uniform occured between the junior and senior years during six weeks of military training at Fort Lewis, Wash., where classroom knowl- edge was field-tested. Cadets were paid $600 for attend- ing advanced camp in addition to their monthly subsis- tence, as well as room, board and transportation to and from camp. In addition, 11 students competed for positions at the Airborne School at Ft. Benning, Ga., and two for the Air Assault School at Ft. Campbell, Ky. Scholarship and advance course students served in the U.S. Army, the Army National Guard, or the U.S. Army Reserves upon commissioning. Inside Flap 29 esponsibility The Educational Book of Essen- tial Knowledge, an edition of the Webster Encyclopedic Dictionary of the English Language, defines jour- nalism as the trade or occupation of publishing, writing in, or conducting a journal. It is an adequate definition for most people and would even satisfy the majority of the faculty and students at Fairmont State College. However, anyone associated with Student Publications or the Journalism Department, which is part of the Division ot Language and Literature, knows that the definition offered hard- ly touches the surface of what journalism is really all about. Journlaism majors are not the only ones with the inside infor- mation. Graphics fine arts majors, English majors and even stu- dents who are in it for the fun of it know that it involves more than what the dictionary definition describes. It is rare to find two journalism students who agree on the same specific definition for journalism However, finding stu- dents who agree on the same general ideas about it proves to be easier. Anyone of them will say that journalism is a lot of hare work, a tremendous responsibility and often requires more hour of work than an average day has to offer. It ' s more than just writing and publishing. It ' s a lot of han work and responsibility and I think that some people don understand that, said senior Duane Cochran, 1986 Column general manager and a former editor. It ' s a big learning expei ience. It teaches you responsibility because you have to delegat authority and meet deadlines. You can ' t realize the value of th learning experience until you go through it. I feel like journalism is my major instead of graphic arts, said senior Bonny Starkey, a graphics fine arts major expressing a feeling common to many students required to take journalism classes for majors other than journalism. It takes a lot of time and I complain about it a lot, but a much as I hate to say this, it has helped me even though I fight it I used to be shy, but it has forced me to learn how to talk t( people and now I have more self-confidence, she added. No student will argue the fact that journalism is time consum Choosing the right photographs is an important Editing a paper takes a lot of time and respi aspect of yearbook work. 1986 editor Lisa Gian- bility as well as many other duties.

It involves dedication and sacrifice that often only pays off in terms of experience and self-satisfaction. There is a lot of responsibility in- volved in producing and publishing a quality publication. It becomes your project and you want to make it the best, regardless of the cost of sleepless nights, skipping meals and falling behind in classwork, expressed Lisa Gianettino, 1986 Mound editor. Outside of the educational experience and self-satisfaction, the FSC chapter of the Society for Collegiate Journalists (SCJ), is the only other reward for journalism students. SCJ is a national honorary designed to recognize campus journalists for their services to their colleges and universities. Even in the honorary the work does not stop for the student journalist. SCJ activities for 1985-86 included hosting the West Virginia Scholastic Press Association Con- vention, participating in the Activities Fair by setting up a booth in an attempt to increase student interest in Student Publi- cations, inducting six new members dur ing the annual Student Publications Ban- quet, helping students at South Harrison High School with their journalism pro- gram and mailing out letters to help en- courage and recruit West Virginia high school students to take part in journalism at the college level. SCJ officers for 1985-86 were Duane Cochran, president; Lisa Gianettino, vice president; and Camelia Bunner Kline, secretary. Advising student journalists takes a lot of time and patience. Journalism coordinator Jane Dumire prepares to go home after a hard day of advising the two publications. Lab experience provides a lot of time for taking care of office work. During her Friday morning lab hours, Linda Colelli answers the phone and types stories in the Student Publications office. 32 Student Publications Cartoonist wins national award An FSC student political cartoonist won the Gold Circle Award for 1986 from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association. Jim McCloskey, senior graphics fine arts major, received the top award for a collection of his editorial cartoons. The award was announced at the national convention in New York City in March. In 1984, McCloskey received first place honors in the Society of Colle- giate Journalists ' national publications contest in the political cartoon category. His entry titled Man of a Thousand Faces, was a series of caricatures of Walter Mondale showing his consistent facial expressions with the same face conveying a range of emotions from confidence to constipation. It was among 30 entries judged. In 1983, he captured first place and second honorable mention, and in 1982, received third place in the same competition. He hopes to begin a career in cartooning, eventually reaching syndica- tion through a major newspaper. d° K 4 Is wore Jp+ to ° % dte rioting, - f Student Publications 33 njoyable Events When one thinks of college life, L _ __ _- _ they often think of studying, reading and writing term papers; however, throughout the 1985-86 school year FSC students were provided with numerous entertainment events. One of the NFL ' s all-time leading rushers and former Pitts- burgh Steeler running back Franco Harris spoke to students on Oct. 3. In his speech he discussed the importance of a good attitude and education. At the fall concert held Oct. 12, pop artist Howard Jones performed for a Feaster Center crowd. Marshall Crenshaw pre- ceded Jones in a guest appearance. A spotlighted Charlie Chaplin figure danced for the crowd before Jones appeared. The Washington Ballet performed in Wallman Hall on March 2. The Washington School of Ballet was co-founded in 1944 by Mary Day and the late Lisa Garndier. They have made ma ny tours in the United States as well as China, Singapore, South America and the Far East. Dr. Wayne Dyer, well-known author and psychologist, spoke to FSC students, faculty and the public on March 19 in the Ballroom on How to be a No Limit Person. The annual Miss FSC pagent, sponsored by the Women ' s Panhellenic, was held April 21. The pagent featured 17 contes- tants, competing in four categories.

Award-winning jazz artist Wynton Marsalis performed at FSC on April 24. Marsalis began recording with Columbia Records four years ago and has since won Grammy awards for both jazz and classical music in the same year. Vocalist and guitarist George Thorogood and the Delaware Destroyers performed in the Feaster Center on April 25. Johnny Winter preceded Thorogood in the opening act. Thorogood entertained the audience through singing, duck-walking across stage and dancing energetically while still pounding away on his guitar. College life requires a lot of hard work and dedication, but al FSC there were many opportunities available for students to take a break from class work to enjoy themselves. 34 Campus Events Rock musician George Thorogood per- forms for FSC students and the public at the Feaster Center April 25. The concert was sponsored by Student Government. Sponsored by Student Government, How- ard Jones performs his hit song Things Can Only Get Better. Former Pittsburgh Steeler Franco Harris spoke to interested students in Wallman Hall about his career and the importance of a good attitude and education. Campus Events 35 usical Variety ■■■■M What would anyone ever do with- out music? It can sooth or offer an The opportunity to explore a vari- ety of music was available through the college ' s performance groups, namely the stage band, brass ensemble, college-commu- nity symphony orchestra, the Collegiate and Chamber singers, and the Falcon marching and concert bands. The stage band, directed by associate music professor John Ashton, was comprised of 20 musicians playing saxophone, trumpet, trombone and rhythm sections. The group, modeled after the large dance bands of the 1940s, 50s and 60s, played music ranging from pure jazz to jazz rock fusion. Performances included an annual stage band invitational on campus Feb. 26, in which local stage bands also participated, campus concerts and limited touring and performing off cam- pus, such as in one performance at a county festival in Wood- field, Ohio. The brass ensemble, also under Ashton ' s direction, was com- prised of 15 musicians, whose instruments were the same as thos in a brass section of a typical symphony orchestra. It ' s purpos was to study intensibly stylistic problems, that professional play ers face, said Ashton. The ensemble performed Baroque and contemporary liters tures during campus concerts and accompanied organization such as the chorus. In late March, some members played for th West Virginia All State Band at the West Virginia Music Edua tors Conference in Morgantown. The college-community symphony orchestra, in existence fc 15 years, was comprised of players from the music departmer and also the community. Instrumentation varied from 45 to 5 musicians each performance. The type of music played wa classical symphonic music, ranging from Bach to contemporar works of Stravinsky. Performances included three or four concerts, including a: annual concert featuring soloists chosen by auditions. Also, children ' s concert co-sponsored by the Marion County Board c Education was performed at the end of the school year. I 36 Music nbers of the newly organized flag corp were: ry Marchese, Robin Woodward, Suzzette ins, Thelma Hawk, M elissa Stevens. During the annual Homecoming parade, the Falcon Marching Band leads the way down Adams Street. ng from the field to the stage, the Falcon hing Band presented concerts for the pub- October and December. Band, Collegiates 37 The Collegiate singers, under the guidance of Ronald E. Miller, director of choral activities, had over 60 members from all majors. In April they completed a three-day five-perfor- mance tour of the northern panhandle which included high schools. West Liberty State Col- lege and Bethany College. They have also performed publi- cally on and off campus. Off cam- pus performances included a Ro- tary Club luncheon in October and the Grace Luthern Church of Fair- mont. The 19 Chamber Singers, also unders Millers ' direction, a part of the Collegiate Singers, auditioned to be in the group. Other than per- forming with the Collegiates, the Chamber Singers performed at civic luncheons and Gamma Delta, a local service fraternity. The 45 member Falcon Marching Band, under the direction of Dr. Harry Faulk, began the fall semester with a three-da- band camp to prepare for the football season. The organiza tion played at all home football games, attended the Wes Liberty State College game in Wheeling, participated in th Homecoming parade, and present ed two concerts, one in Octobe and one in December. A new addi tion to the band this year was th Flag Corp. The band performed the firs eight weeks of the semester an then switches to concert band which was also under Dr. Faulk ' direction. The concert band is comprisec of about 40 people music and non music majors playing woodwinds, brass and percussion instru ments. Performances included a concert in March and one ii April.

As the Shiite Hizballah held 40 American men hostage on board the flight, fear of terrorism permeated the globe, then climaxed as news leaked out that Navy diver Robert Stethem had been murdered and more deaths were threatened. Americans and people everywhere reconsidered vacation plans to travel abroad. People traveling wondered if their plane of hotel would be attacked. The terrorists demanded release of Shiite prisoners held in Israel in exchange for the Americans. Seventeen days later the Israelis agreed. President Reagan and Israeli prime minister Shimon Peres said repeatedly that terrorists could not be given in to. The hostages arrived home for July 4 celebrations; but hearts remained heavy as Stethem and other hostages still in the Middle East were remembered. As a result of the crisis, airport security was increased, travel in hostile areas limited, policies for dealing with future terrorists dis- cussed and American patriorism was once again uplifted.

Nearly 1,000 lives were lost in three major plane disasters. The first tragic crash happened on Aug. 2, 1985 when a Delta Airlines jet exploded in a fireball killingl37 of the 162 passengers. Witnesses of the accident, which occurred near Dallas, said the plane was apparently struck by lightning on its landing approach, nosedived short of the runway, struck a huge water tower and burst into flames as its wreckage skidded across an open field. The second crash, which has been listed as the world ' s worst plane disaster in history, happened on Aug. 12, in Japan. The jumbo jet carrying 524 people on a domestic flight crashed into a wooded mountain range, killing all but four. The cause of the crash was never really determined, other than a broken door may have somehow led to the fatal crash. The only other plance crash worse than this one occurred only two months earlier on June 23. An Air-India 747 plunged into the ocean killing all 329 passengers on board. An Indian official attribut- ed the crash to an explosion. The third disaster during the month occurred on Aug. 22, in northern England, when the British charter jet burst into flames as it roared down a runway at Manchester Airport, then broke apart. A total of 137 people — 131 passengers and six crew members — were on board. As smoke and flames poured into the cabin, some passen- gers ran to safety through doors and emergency chutes. Fifty-four people were killed. As a result, stricter safety codes are being set for airlines. peace talks with the white-minority unless it is for handing over power. 22 A British jetliner with 137 people aboard burst into a ball of tire when one of its engines exploded on takeoff and spewed burning fuel into the cabin killing 54 and injuring dozens. The 83 survivors were sit- ting in the front of the plane and escaped by sliding down emergency chutes. 23 The Soviet Union accused the CIA of attempting to sour U.S. — Soviet relations by inventing a charge that the KGB used possible cancer-causing chemical dust to keep track of U.S. diplomats. The State De- partment charged the KGB used a powder to dust doorknobs and other objects to trace the movements of diplomats in Moscow. 24 An attempt to launch the space shuttle Discovery on a daring satellite repair mission was postponed at the last minute and resche- duled for Aug. 25, because of erratic rain- storms popping up around the firing pad. 25 Computer failure forced the second launch postponement in two days for the shuttle Discovery, and the ship was ground- ed until Aug. 27 so technicians could check for possible engine plumbing leaks.

Disaster kills thousands in Mexico At least 7,000 people were killed in two earthquakes that struck Mexico City on Sept. 19 and 20, 1985, according to the U.S. Agency for International Development. The earthquakes, measuring 7.8 and 7.3 on the Richter scale, collapsed more than 400 buildings and trapped thousands of people under the rubble. Damages were estimated at $5 billion. Several aftershocks followed the earthquakes on Sept. 21, but they registered less than 4.0 on the scale. Mexico, who had refused help for the first two days after the disaster, began accepting offers of relief for their many homeless victims. French, German and American rescue workers came to their aid. Using special equipment to cut through tons of concrete and stone rubble and aided by specially trained dogs, rescuers reached many survivors buried under the ruins. First lady Nancy Reagan flew to Mexico City and presented the government with a $1 million check from the United States to help with the restoration of the city. A great concern during this time was the risk of unsanitary conditions, triggering the outbreak of an epidemic. As a precaution- ary method, the dead were buried immediately. They are buried in individual shrouds hurriedly prepared, and the ceremony doesn ' t last more than 10 minutes . . . without a funeral prayer . . . without flowers, El Universal newspaper said. The first tremor was upgraded to 8.1 on the Richter scale labeling it a great earthquake. 20 Thousands of rescue workers clawed through collapsed buildings and fed survi- vors through tubes in the rubble of a devas- tating earthquake that killed 7,000 people. A second quake registered 7.5 on the Richter scale. 21 Shiite militiamen shot down an Israeli he- licopter with 30 men aboard in southern Lebanon as rival factions battled in the streers of Beirut and Tripoli, killing 15. 22 Rescuers pulled more survivors from the rubble as international aid poured in to help Mexico recover from two earthquakes that killed thousands and left many homeless. 23 President Reagan declared that he will not stand by and watch as Americans bu- sinesses and workers are crushed by imports. He called for the creation of a $300 million government fund to promote U.S. exports. 24 Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard Shevard- nadze urged the U.N. to reject Washington ' s sinister plans of Star Wars and to endorse the Soviet proposal Star Peace for space exploration. 25 The Mexican disaster was upgraded to a great earthquake, raising the tremor to 8.1 on the Richter scale.

The ship, sailing in the Mediterranean, where terrorists were demanding the release of 50 Palestinians from an Israeli prison, was bound from Alexandria, Egypt, to Port Said, near the Suez Canal, when it was hijacked. The hijackers were quoted as saying they would blow up the ship if a rescue attempt was made. It was not known at first how many hijackers had seized the ship, but it was reported they were members of the Palestine Liberation Front, a dissident faction of the Palestine Liberation Organization. The terrorists holding the ship threatened to kill American hos- tages first if their demands were not met and that they did. On the second day of the hijacking, American Leon Klinghoffer, confined to a wheelchair after a stroke, was shot in the head and dumped overboard. Klinghoffer and his wife Marilyn, who died of cancer in February, were on the Achille Lauro for their 36th wedding anniver- sary. But finally terrorists took the blow, and on Oct. 10 the good guys finally won. As the four gunmen holding the ship tried to escape by plane, it was intercepted by U.S. Navy fighter planes in the night skies over the eastern Mediterranean, and forced to land in Sicily, where the four Palestinians were taken into custody.

Fairmont man aboard fatal flight A charter DC-8, bringing home 248 U.S. soldiers from the Middle East peace-keeping force in the Siani crashed and exploded into flames shortly after takeoff Dec. 12, 1985, at Gander, Newfoundland International Airport. It was the third worst aviation disaster of the year and the worst ever involving U.S. military forces. Six of the 248 soldiers who were killed were from West Virginia. One, Private Thomas Raft Hileman, a former Fairmont State stu- dent, was scheduled to return home two days earlier. But he traded places with a homesick buddy who wanted to get home to his family before the holidays. The soldiers were coming home i n three shifts — 250 soldiers came home the week before and 250 the following week. Investigations into the crash focused on the charter airlines — safety record and weather conditions that prevailed when the plane went down. Investigators found that the DC-8 was not de-iced before taking off in the freezing rain and snow. Airport officials stated that it was the pilot ' s responsibility to request the de-icing procedure, but he did not. During a memorial service at Fort Campbell in Kentucky, Presi- dent and Mrs. Reagan met with the soldier ' s families. Our hearts go out to the loved ones of these brave soldiers who have paid the fullest price in the service of their country and the cause of peace, said Ronald Reagan, speaking to and for the nation. The soldiers, members of the 101st Airborne Division, were en- route to their home base in Kentucky when the accident occurred. 17 The House, responding to a call by Presi- dent Reagan to keep his tax reform promise alive, passed a historic tax overhaul bill that would reduce rates and shift at least some of the burden from individuals to businesses. 18 Chancellor Helmut Kohl ' s center-right coalition announced that it would negotiate with the United States over a role for West German industry in the Star Wars missile defense program.

It was the second time the seven-member crew, including Rep.

America ' s Tragedy, Jan. 28, 1986 On Jan. 28, 1986, history ' s worst space disaster occurred, killing seven American astronauts when the shuttle Challenger exploded moments after takeoff. Liftoff was perfect, but within 72 seconds excitement turned to horror. Spectators were still cheering when the shuttle exploded; but soon the cheers turned to crying and numb- ness. President Reagan, quoted as being in a state of shock, was to have given his State of the Union address that evening, but cancelled because the mood of the nation will not be on politics. Speculation about the cause centered on pre-launch icicles possi- bly damaging the external fuel tank. Later investigation centered on a solid rocket booster as the cause. A presidential investigating committee studying the explosion awaited Challenger ' s fragments, salvaged in the Atlantic off northeast Florida, and crash investiga- tors ' reports to determine the cause of the tragedy. Bodies of the Challenger crew, comprised of flight commander Francis R. (Dick) Scobee, 46; pilot Michael J. Smith, 40; aerospace engineer Ellison Onizuka, 39; physicist Ronald McNair, 35; electrical engineer Gregory B. Jarvis, 41; electrical engineer Judith A. Resnick, 36; and schoolteacher Christa McAuliffe, 37, were recovered. Flags were flown at half-staff and the president declared a nation- al week of mourning for the seven. At their memorial service the president comforted their families: Sometimes when we reach for the stars, we fall short. But we must pick ourselves up and press on, despite the pain. 19 Hard-line Marxists supported by Soviet- equipped armed forces overthrew President Ali Nasser Mohammed of South Yemen after a week of bloody rebellion.

Government and independent accounts showed Aquino ahead. 8 A new government of Haiti was formed and Haitians avenged former president-for- life Jean-Claude Duvalier ' s 14 years of tyran- ny by attacking the Tonton, his hated secret police.

The vote does not catty any sanctions. 20 A House Foreign Affairs subcommittee voted unanimously to end military aid to the Philippines and cut off any economic help to President Marcos until a legitimate govern- ment rules in Manila. Aquino wins disputed election Although the overthrown of Philippine president Ferdinand Mar- cos occurred in February, the actions behind it began years ago when Marcos declared martial law in the Philippine Islands. Marcos ' corrupted government, the poor economy and violent demonstra- tions were factors in the change of attitude of the Philippine people. With the presidential election came a hope for change for many of them. Corazon Aquino, Marcos ' opponent in the election, was the wife ot Benigno Aquino, Marcos ' opponent two years earlier, who was murdered before the election took place. Mrs. Aquino had the backing of the middle-class Filipinos, as well as that of the Roman Catholic Church. Although Marcos tried many maneuvers to defeat Aquino, such as mud-slinging and fraud, she chose to use peaceful means to attain victory. She used the terms People ' s Victory, claiming that the people had the power to get out from under Marcos ' powerful hand. Both Aqunio and Marcos claimed victory for the election, Mar- cos stating he had won by popular vote, and Aquino disagreeing saying that foul play had occurred. Soon after being inaugurated, Marcos fled the country, in an attempt to save himself from the violent demonstrations and murder threats from the people of his country. He left with a large portion of his country ' s money. Aquino took over as president of the Philippines, as an inexperi- enced but determined leader of a country torn by debt and corrup- tion. 21 Studies a year ago indicated that wind deflected from a shuttle ' s frigid external fuel tank could freeze portions of a booster rock- et, but NASA did not consider this informa- tion when clearing the Challenger for launch Jan. 28. 22 The Philippine defense minister and the deputy armed forces chief, backed by hun- dreds of soldiers, seized the nation ' s military headquarters and demanded President Mar- cos resign because his Feb. 7 election was fraudulent. 23 President Marcos declared a state of emergency, but commando rebel forces cap- tured the government ' s television station and declared the formation of a provisional government with Corazon Aquino as presi- dent. 24 President Reagan, seeking a non-violent resolution to the crisis in the Philippines, urged President Marcos to step aside, as Cor- azon Aquino was sworn in as president.

Au- thorities also announced that 10 people were arrested in a suspected plot to assassinate Aquino and her defense minister. 28 Kennedy Space Center officials said they anticipate at least a year ' s delay in shuttle flights, forcing them to lay off 450 workers because of Challenher ' s explosion one month ago.

Heading the ' O-inch thick list released by the space Carriers cross line of death U.S. naval forces tested Libyan leader Moammar Khadafy ' s line of death in March. It began Sunday, March 23, with U.S. naval exercises. Aircraft darted into the death zone. The next day three U.S. ships crossed the line. The line of death is the area south of the 32nd parallel in the Gulf of Sidra off the Libyan coast that Khadafy claims as Libyan territorial waters. The internationally regarded territorial limit is 12- miles from the coast. In response to the crossing, Libya launched throughout the day, Soviet-built SA-5 and SA-2 missiles at U.S. reconnaissance planes. The U.S. Navy retaliated later that night and the next morning. When the confrontation was over, the radar transmitter site at Surt was bombed and five Libyan vessels were attacked, two of them destroyed. The U.S. Navy ended the exercises on March 27 with no damage or loss of life reported. The right to enter international waters around Libya had been established. Khadafy, an archfiend of the Reagan Administration since the president took office in 1981, has been accused of being a major sponsor of international terrorism. He has been linked to the hijack- ing of TWA flight 847 in which 39 Americans were taken hostage in June, 1985 and to the Rome-Vienna massacres in December, 1985. The Reagan Administration has tried different tactics in dealing with Khadafy. Lack of cooperation by other countries led the administration to send the three carriers, America, Saratoga and Coral Sea, to the Mediterranean. agency of booster systems that might not fail safety under worst case conditions were the rubber O-ring rocket seats. 18 The Soviet Union accused the United States of a provocation violation of Soviet territorial waters in the Black Sea and warned of severe repercussions in the event of U.S. invitation of President Reagan. 19 A document seized from deposed Philip- pines ' President Ferdinand Marcos maybe evidence of a massive plan to influence U.S. politics with tens of thousands of campaign contribitions. 20 The House rejected President Reagan ' s appeal for $100 million for the Nicaraguan revels battling the Sandinista governments slapping aside his offer to hold back some military aid during a new bid for peace talks. 21 Rat poison was found in capsules of Con- tac and Teldrin that prompted the drug ' s manufacturer to withdraw three over-the- counter products from the market nation- wide.

Sources said the ships steamed further into the gulf than ever before but stayed outside the internationally recognized 12-mile limit of the Libyan coast. U.S. military helicopters transported Hon- duran troops towards the Nicaraguan border from the Honduran frontier near Jamastran. The airlift carried about 600 Honduran troops to join another 3.000 troops near the border with Nicaragua. 27 The Senate, in a critical foreign policy victory for President Reagan, approved S100 million in military and other aid to the Con- tra rebels in Nicaragua. The bill pressures Reagan to seek an end to the Nicarguan conflict. 28 Libyan leader Khadafy, in a speech marked by the symbolic slitting of President Reagan ' s throat, vowed to attack American embassies and businesses in retaliation for the U.S. — Libyan confrontation. He also denied that Libya lost any anti-aircraft mis- siles and claimed his forces shot down three F-14 fighter jets. 29 Soviet leader Gorbachev offered to meet President Reagan anywhere in Europe to dis- cuss a nuclear test band, but the White House rejected the proposal, saying a test band was not in the best interest of U.S. security. 30 Actor James Cagney, who won tame with his portrayal of snarling gangsters but earned an Oscar as a jauntyhoofer, died Easter Sun- day at his farmhouse in upstate New York at age 86.

The accident occurred at the restricted Chernobyl nuclear power plant, about 80 miles north of the Ukrainian capital of Kiev, the nation ' s third-most populous area. At first Soviets reported only two deaths frorruhe accident, but reports from other sources say that as many as 2,000 Soviets may have died. A Kiev resident with close contacts to hospital and rescue work- ers told UPI that 80 people died immediately while others died on their way to the hospitals. The most seriously injured were the workers on the scene. They were sent to Moscow where Soviet, American and Israeli doctors tried to save them. Extreme doses of radiation destroys bone mar- row, the source of white blood cells, which protects the body from infection. As the fire at the plant was still burning out of control, the Soviet Union asked West Germany and Sweden for assistance but refused help from the United States. The Soviets did accept one American doctor, Dr. Robert Gale, a bone specialist from Los Angeles. Also sent to help was an Israeli specialist. Soviet leader Gorbachev publicly acknowledged the accident on May 13, 18 days after the tragedy. For the first time ever, Gorba- chev declared on Soviet television, we have confronted in reality the sinister power of uncontrollable nuclear energy. The 25-minute speech was more than just an official explanation of the Chernobyl disaster; it was an effort by Gorbachev to strike back at critics and limit the severe damage to Soviet prestige caused by the accident. He declared in the statement that the official count was 13 dead and 299 victims hospitalized. terror sparked by the LIS. raid on Libya and Britain ' s role in the attack. 18 Libya accused President Reagan of order- ing U.S. warplanes to strike at residential areas of Tripoli and Benghazi during this week ' s raids and said the administration had fallen victim to its own madness and arro- gance of power. 19 A tornado slashed a ragged 2-mile long path through the west Texas town of Sweetwater just after dawn, demolishing hundreds of houses and leaving 2,000 people homeless.

Western diplomats feared a high death toll at the accident site. 29 The Soviet Union sought help from the West in extinguishing a fire at an atomic power plant and acknowledged mass evacu- ations and two deaths in the disaster. One unconfirmed report from the area said the death toll may have surpassed 2,000. 30 A second meltdown apparently occured at the crippled Soviet nuclear power plant in the L ' kraine, as more radioactive materials spewed in the skies.

Participants of the historic event contributed a minimum of $10 to join the line on Memorial Day weekend at 3 p.m EDT and 12 p.m. PDT. The project was expected to raise $50-100 million from partici- pants ' fees, donations, and corporate sponsors. Celebrities such as Bill Cosby, Kenny Rogers, Pete Rose and Lily Tomlin served as national chairmen, while companies, churches, organizations, graduating classes and wedding parties formed the route spanning the country from the Atlantic to the Pacific Oceans. The eastern end of the link began at Battery Park, New York City, with Amy Sherwood, a six-year-old homeless girl, and continued through 16 states ending with Bill and Mary Jones and their five children, residents of the Family Shelter for the Homeless in Long Beach, Cal. Though there were a few breaks in the line, due to the tempera- tures of the desert and lack of participants, the event was in no way considered a failure. The money raised was to be used to feed the hungry and care for the homeless in the United States. While the Hands Across America Project was going on in the LInited States, another event was taking place in 76 countries around the world. Twenty million people participated in Sport Aid by running to raise funds to feed the starving people in Africa.

In fact, the official conference presea- son picks listed FSC in the No. 5 position, focusing most of the hype on Salem and Concord. To Coach Wally Hood, his staff and the team, fifth position wasn ' t a bad spot to be in. We felt that we were better than fifth, said Coach Hood. But based on the previous year ' s record it didn ' t surprise me. I would rather be picked fourth or fifth in the league and win than to be overrated and lose. I do believe that once you have established a good program, it ' s exciting and challenging to be picked No. 1. Fairmont began the season on a down note at Clarion, Pa., dropping a 7-2 decision to the Golden Eagles when some problems arose with the offense, particularly the quarter- back slot. Unable to move the of- fense consistently, Greg Higgins and his replacement Tom Morrone combined to complete only five passes in 22 attempts for 55 yards. Despite this inconsistency, some bright spots emerged. Ail-Ameri- can wide receiver Ed Coleman only had one catch, but it gave him a career total of 128 and the all-time FSC reception record. On the de- fense the Falcons played very well, stopping the Golden Eagle offense numerous times with big plays.

The quarterback tandem of Hig- gins and Morrone was also click- ing, completing 11 passes in 14 at- tempts for 151 yards. The touch- downs scored against the Yellow Jackets, the first of the year, led to their first loss. The following week the Falcons opened their conference schedule against rival Concord at Rosier Field, where the Mountain Lions handed FSC its second loss of the season, 8-0. The game which showcased Fairmont ' s No. 1 defense in the na- tion against Concord ' s No. 2 de- fense turned out to be exactly what it was billed — a defensive struggle as an untimely fumble deep in Fal- con territory led to the only Con- cord score.

For the second straight week Fairmont took to the road and came home big winners, pounding West Virginia Tech 35-3. Big plays set up the Falcon TDs as the of- fense rolled up 274 yards, while the nationally-ranked defense limited Tech to 27 yards on the ground and sacked the Golden Bear quarter- back 10 times. Oct. 19 saw the Falcons return to Rosier Field to rout the Glenville Pioneers, 49-0. On the day Mor- rone, who by now had emerged as the No. 1 signal caller, completed none out of 12 passes for 115 yards and two touchdowns. Coleman caught eight passes for 136 yards and two scores. Brian Brown and Kikume led the rushers by gaining 72 and 70 yards, respec- tively. Sam Collins was 7-7 on extra points, and the defense limited the Pioneers to 130 total yards and came up with six turnovers.

Brown led the team in rushing, gaining 1,058 yards on 175 attempts for a 105.8 average per game, good enough to finish second in the conference. He led Fairmont and the conference in scoring with 68 points and finished his career at FSC as the all-time leading Falcon scorer with 174 points and second as the all-time rusher with 3,163 yards.

FSC ' s top three run- ners graduat- ed in May, however, the runners replacing them, Glenn Tacy, John Reynolds, Kent Barker and Jim Si- burt had good credentials. Tammy Moury and Dana Dean ran for FSC on the women ' s side. The only returnee from last year ' s men ' s team was sophomore Allen Moran. Numerous schedule changes and injuries caused problems for the Falcons. The California State Invi- tational was moved up forcing the runners to go for the W.Va. Invita- tional, then the W.Va. State Invita- tional was cancelled and finally, the team could not participate in the conference championships because they were 15 minutes late. Injuries forced Fairmont to run with less than a full team. Siburt came into the season with a painful shin splint injury and, as a result, did not run in the final three meets. Dean had a badly cut hand and on doctor ' s advice, quit after the first meet. Consequently, FSC failed to fin- ish in the top half of the team stand- ings in the majority of their meets. Although Dr. Bohnke said the team performance was not as good as expected, he believed the season was successful because the runners improved individually. r $L i - ..:;:; m ■ t s •■ i i California State Invitational Indiana University Invitational Frostburg Invitational Fairmont Invitational Joel Varian Invitational WVIAC Championship After a season plagued with injuries, Kent Barker stretches his hamstrings before run- ning as a preventive measure.

The team placed fifth in the con- ference standings and fourth over- all in the October conference tour- nament held at the Sheraton Inn in Martinsburg. Going into the tourney as the top seed, freshman Vicki Preston and captain Penny Collins were the only members to advance past the first round of action in the three day tournament. Individually, Preston had a good first year, finishing the season with a 13-2 record. Collins finished her FSC career at 2-1 1. Second seed Sal- ly Raines finished at 8-7 and fourth seed Denise Clark finished at 2-12 as did Kristin Cox, at seed five. Lisa Nicholson, sixth seed, completed her year with 0-3 record.

The third place finish, the high- est by an FSC team since the pro- gram began about 10 years ago, pleased Coach Larry Hill. The team really worked hard and had a great deal of desire to win, he said. Some honors were taken by FSC at the tourney, one of the biggest honors being awarded to Coach Hill, as he was voted coach of the year by his colleagues. Also receiving an honor was sen- ior Pam Spencer, who earned all- tournament and conference awards. A few of the other players in whom Hill was very pleased were junior Amy Richmond, sopho- mores Lori Rogers and Bobby Jo Billings, and freshmen Holly Harri- son and Jennifer Anderson. He said, Richmond was the most consistent player on the team and any time we needed a squeeze play, we could always rely on her. Rogers improved with every game she played, and Billings was the most improved player on the squad. This is the best team-oriented group I have ever worked with. They had a lot of determination be- cause they were such a close knit group. With the return of a sturdy foun- dation from this year ' s team, the 1986 team has a chance to improve possibly to No. 1 in the conference.

The Falcons started slowly, los- ing their first three games before getting on the winning track with a 104-91 victory over California (Pa.) University. The team then proceeded to win 10 of their next 11 games. At one point FSC won seven straight to boost their record to 11-4 overall and 8-0 in the West Virginia Inter- collegiate Conference at mid-sea- son. During that 11-1 run the Falcons had wins over California, Alderson- Broaddus, West Virginia, Wesley- an, Pikeville, California, Salem, Da- vis and Elkins, A-B Wesleyan, Shepherd, D E and West Liberty. The team ' s only loss came at the hands of Pikeville, 89-87. The big win in the streak was over Weslyean on the Bobcats ' home floor in the Rockefeller Cen- ter. The building, nicknamed The Rock, had lived up to its billing the past few years as Wesleyan had a 38-game winning streak at home and hadn ' t been beaten there in three years.

I feel that the big problem for us was that we were trying so hard not to lose that we tightened up. Instead of playing to win we were playing not to lose and this caused us to play mentally tired. Those things happen in basket- ball along with the fact that almost every team in the league gets fired up when they play Fairmont.

I Swimming 125 Building squad Cheerleaders fourth in WVIAC conference by Bonny Starkey SC cheer- leaders and adviser went through a year filled with ex- citement and uncertainty. The squad, which started with as many as 15 members with many skills and great physical ability, went through many changes, including the lose of many of its personnel throughout the year. Due to a WVIAC memo stating a new NAIA policy, cheerleaders in national competition could no longer do stunts such as stacking and propelling of bodies and pyra- mids because of the liability factor. Although squads could do what they wanted during the regular sea- son, the colleges would be liable for any accidents. The risk factor prompted FSC compliance with the WVIAC ruling. Falcon cheerleaders adapted the state cheerleader association rules, which are based on the NAIA rules, and used them as guidelines. In April, new rules proposed to allow the use of stunts again at FSC were not in effect during try-outs for new cheerleaders. We ' ve been in limbo for about a year, ' ' said Carolyn Crislip-Tacy, cheerleading adviser. We ' re doing things by our new rules; and if they don ' t go through with it, I don ' t know what we ' ll do. High points during the year oc- curred when the squad placed fourth out of eleven schools in the WVIAC tournament competition.

Third-year coach Dan Kupets welcomed 15 lettermen back in 1986, and his first order of business was to strengthen every aspect ot the Falcon defense. Besides strengthening the de- fense, the other team priority was to develop a pitching staff. Kupets built his staff around three talented sophomores: Robbie Abruzzino, Dave McQuain, and Jeff Payne. The recurring bad weather limit- ed most of the team ' s pre-season practices to indoors. The team spent their time going over basic hitting and fielding fundamentals, as well as doing a conditioning pro- gram. While most FSC students headed for the beach during spring break, the Falcon diamondmen traveled south for a rigorous eight-day trip with 12 games slated. The southern trip is one of the exciting parts of the Falcon base- ball schedule. All your do is eat, sleep and play ball, explained Ku- pets. Bad luck seemed to follow the team on the trip, though, as they returned home with no wins on their record after battling poor weather, cancelled games and the illnesses of several players. Although we didn ' t win a game, there were several positive things, said Kupets. We hit the ball better than we ever have down south, and our defense wasn ' t too bad either.

A Fairmont city fireman walks away from apartment building B after battling the mid- morning blaze which began in the kitchen of a second floor apartment. Blaze destroys off-campus housing Damage was heavy at the Forest Glen apartment complex after fire swept through the building on May 5, leaving more than 40 persons, mostly Fairmont State College students, homeless. An estimated $75,500 in damages resulted from the fire. Fire chief David Wimer said four apartments, two on the second floor and two on the third floor of Building B were damaged, as well as a hallway and a stairway. The remaining apartments in the building sustained varying amounts of smoke and water damage, but structural integrity of the building was still intact, he said. Dr. David Barkin, a Florida resident, is the owner of the Forest Glen complex, while Junior Waugh is the resident manager. The fire department received reports from individuals who discovered the fire saying it originated in the kitchen area of apartment 204 B. The apartment was occupied by students David King of Buckhannon and Dan Riggs of Bridgeport. Upon investigation, firefighter found one of the burners on the kitchen stove was on high and that a small pan had been left on it. The fire was discovered by a neighbor, Tom Kovalski of Rayland, Ohio. The apartment across the hall from him was unoccupied at the time of the fire so Kovalski had to kick in the door, firefighters said. All 11 C shift firefighters and units from every station responded to the alarm and worked quickly to bring the fire under control, Fire Lt. Bill Harris said. The fire department, according to the tire chief, considered the fire accidental, although an investigation by assistant state fire marshal Mack Dennis, was made simply to rule out the possibility of any other cause. No residents or firefighters were injured. Forest Glen fire 147 Wesley Foundation: Tony Huffman, vice president; Tammy Moury, president; Rev.

Graduation guest speak- er Howard K. Smith drew everyone ' s attention to the state of world affairs. Terroism in Libya, as well as in Europe, kept many Ameri- cans home for the spring. Nuclear radiation from the. Soviet Union also stirred the attention of would-be travelers. On the homefront, NASA experienced a shake-up in power after the third failure in space exploration and the Presidential report on the Challenger explosion. Even with all that was happening around the world, FSC provided plenty to talk about. Coaches Steve Mahaney, Stan Groves and Craig White were named WVIAC coaches of the year for swimming, golf and tennis, respectively. Ail-American wide receiver Ed Coleman signed a free-agent contract with the Cleveland Browns and attended training camp. And a blaze at the Forest Glen apartment complex the first day of finals week left nearly 40 students homeless. With all the attention that was focused on national events throughout the year, it may have seemed that FSC took a back seat in many ways.
