The job: the volunteer position of freshman counselor during freshmen orientation Aug. 20-22. Qualifications: willingness to help freshmen understand and adapt to the new environment they ' d chosen — Fairmont State College. The counselors were chosen after they underwent interviews with student affairs counselors Bill Bailey and Michael Belmear, who based their selection on the interview as well as material contained on their application forms submitted during the spring semester. While incoming students finished last-minute vacations and packing chores on Aug. 17-19, the 87 upperclassmen selected to help the newcomers attended counselor-orientation camp at Jackson ' s Mill, where emphasis was placed on how to help those students who seemed the most wary of college life. : J ii;. ; — i._ F % W 0f Helping freshmen get to know one another during Freshmen Orientation are Sandy Stewart and Pat Mascaro.

Orientation began Wednesday, Aug. 20, with new students, assisted by counselors, moving into their dorms. Moving in was followed by a picnic for new students and a variety show starring the freshmen counselors. The next two days were spent touring the campus and visiting academic advisors.

Only an occasional workman wearing a hardhat or driving a truck was seen on campus, but soon the campus began undergoing a major facelift.

Small improvements were completed relatively quickly, but the main focus of the renovation project, Colebank Hall, took 2 Renovations 1 Colebank Hall, renovations completed, awaits FSC administration, faculty, students and townspeople at its Coming Out party March 5.

Construction began on what was formerly called Colebank Gymnasium in September 1985, and was completed and officially opened in March 1987. The inside of the building was razed, leaving only an exterior shell. Crews began constructing multi-use rooms for free play and intramurals on the second floor, the site of the original gym, and other rooms were built to house computer labs, word processing, typing, and general classrooms as well as faculty and security offices. In addition, the administrative computer center and the student health center would be relocated in the renovated building. We ' re trying to humanize the campus and make it more a part of the students ' lives, said Kenneth Dillon, physical plant director. We want FSC to look like more than a concrete slab. The newly renovated Colebank Hall was unveiled at a Coming Out Party sponsored by the FSC Foundation, Inc. on March 5. Approximately $6,200 in donations were raised for the foundation ' s general scholarship fund and about 300 persons attended. Workmen in hardhats, heavy trucks, construction noise and two and a half years worth of dirt, concrete and steel were finally gone. In their place stood a newly renovated Colebank Hall and an attractive, adjacent park-like area to accommodate both people and vehicles.

Se Uosi4 NUCLEAR POWER A pact with the devil? s nuclear power turning out to be a pact with the devil? The world gets reliable, inex- haustible electric pow- er, but the risk re- mains. The world ' s worst nuclear diaster at Chernobyl, Russia in April, 1986 was a sober reminder that the price would likely be paid. But the Cher- nobyl incident will have little impact on the world ' s power pro- duction before the next century, according to experts, because the current policies of in- dividual nations are well fixed. Of most of those na- tions that have built or are planning to build more nuclear power plants, more than two- thirds of their citizens oppose buklding any more plants, according to public opinion polls of the Worldwatch In- stitute. Dr. Richard Cham- plin of California played a major role in bone marrow trans- plants for 19 Cherno- byl survivors, but only the two who had re- ceived their own re- constituted bone mar- row survived. Doctors learned a grim lesson from the April trage- dy, as did the rest of the world. Very few people exposed to high doses of radiation in such mishaps can be saved. And if a melt- down would occur near a major city, the chances of keeping many people alive would dwindle even more. The official Chernobyl death toll stands at 31 while 237 suffered acute radi- ation illness. Waiting to be checked, resi- dents of Kiev, Russia, line up to fill out forms. Checks were per- formed on everyone possibly ex- posed to radioactive fallout. (Photo from World Wide Pho- tos, Inc.) In their official acci- dent report Soviets say they expect thousands of extra cancer deaths over the next three decades. 24 Seniors Douglas R.

The NRC estimates there is a 45 percent chance that another accident as bad or worse than Three Mile Island, in the next 20 years, but other experts dispute this reasoning. How do FSC stu- dents feel the Cher- nobyl incident will af- fect U.S. nuclear op- erations? It has brought a scary awareness to the U.S. public - Chernobyl and Three Mile Island, agreed Jon Laughlin, sopho- more civil engineer- ing major. Nuclear power will eventually be the way of the future. The U.S. is moving into new technology that will eventually make it safer and convince people of this, said Ed Goss, senior civil engineer- ing major. Education profes- sor, Patricia Haught optimistically agreed that nuclear power would continue to ad- vance. Illustrating the damage, a photo of the Chernobyl reactor was broadcast on Soviet televisio. Moni- tored on CNN in New York, a portion of the photo (right) was en- hanced to clarify the damage.

Two days later Nicaraguan offi- cials produced the bo- dies of two Americans and an American pris- oner. Eugene Hasenfus, an ex-Marine from Marinette, Wisconsin, had parachuted from his doomed C-123. Hasenfus became the focus of a political con- troversy when he claimed he was a part of a CIA-directed op- eration supplying anti- government Contras with guns and ammu- nition. Shot down near the Nica- raguan-Costa Rican bor- der, American ex-Marine Eugene Hasenfus was cap- tured by Nicaraguan troops.

I feel that it is a very complex situation that doesn ' t have any easy answers, re- marked Jeffery Col- lins, sophomore busi- ness major. The FSC Society of Global Crisis invited Dr. Michael Schroer- ing to speak about Nicaragua on April 9, 1987. Dr. Schroering, a Fairmont physician, visited that country in March for several rea- sons. One purpose was to visit a mining com- munity because he regularly treats miners at the local clinic; an- other was to attend a medical conference on tropical medicine and health care in Third World nations; finally he wanted to investi- gate first-hand Ameri- can press reports of Nicaraguan news events. Giving a first hand report, area physician Dr. Michael Schroering, offered stu- dents his account of the Nicaraguan situation.

Apartheid is the policy of strict racial segregation used in South Africa that has been criticized and attacked by various governments all over the world. The aim of most governments is to force South Africa to change its policy of Apartheid and deseg- regate. In the meantime, the protests and vio- lence continue in South Africa as the fight continues over the issue of Apart- heid. Students at FSC were asked about Apartheid. I don ' t think that it affects me. The is- sue is still on the oth- er side of the fence, said Mark Ralston, freshman journalism major. Apartheid affects all people. It is the re- sult of a discrimina- tory mentality which has existed for years. It is a mentality which has no place in modern society, said Charles Minor, ju- nior business major. There is no way it can be justified, said Valerie Tennant, sen- ior business major. The U.S. govern- ment should not deal economically with South Africa or allow U.S. businesses to do so.

Likewise in China, college and university campuses have been marked as battle grounds by students in their fight for freedom and democracy. Students from Pe- king to Shanghai have taken to the streets pro- testing the Bureaucra- tism and authoritarian- ism of Deng Xiaopin ' s government. For five consecutive days begin- ning December 19 up to 30,000 students marched waving their freedom banners. These students pro- tests should open the eyes of all Americans students who should be thankful that the battle for their freedom, our freedom, has already been fought and won, said Sherry Voznaik, freshman business ma- jor. The Chinese govern- ment at first undecided at how to handle the largest outbreak of youth unrest in China in a decade, reacted with total silence, blacking out all news of the pro- tests. After being told classmates arrested earlier in the day for taking part in a pro-democ- racy demonstration had been freed by police, Chinese stu- dents give the victory sign to show their support.

Chambers Underclassmen 39 Vtttctenc£4te4 tte t Protesting for freedom One of the main com- plaints of the many pro- testing students was the fact that they obtained information about the protests on the Voice of America broadcasts, and not from their own news media. Until very recently I never even heard about the student protests. I was shocked at the Chi- nese government ' s at- tempt to black out the news from its own peo- ple, comment FSC sophomore pre-med major, Michelle Hen- derson. Tom Wilson, fresh- man business major said, It is incidents like the Chinese govern- ment ' s news blackout that makes me appreci- ate our freedom of the press. By the time the Pe- king protests ended, a government-controlled media blitz was under- way. Television, radio and newspapers all ex- pressed a similar idea. Their comment was that although students might have a well meaning desire for more democracy, they should desist from actions that may threaten the stabil- ity and unity of the country. The Chinese gov- ernment should realize that the students are just concerned over their future, comment- ed Michelle Moore, freshmen general stud- ies major. Freshman Jon Mar- tin, a general studies major said, Maybe this country would be better off if we cared as much as the Chinese students seem to. Bing Chiang perplexed at news been ecently, in Mainland Communist China, there has been an increase in the occurrence of student demon- strations. Scenes reminiscent of the sixties in the United States, have erupting in cities such as Peking and Shanghai where students protest government corruption and demand a more democratic country. Presenting this information to FSC freshman, foreign exchange student Bing Chiang, one catches her look of perplexion. She shakes her head slowly saying, I did not see any students demonstrating when I was last in China. Stu- dents just work very hard to go into colleges in China. Bing came to the United States to attend high school and college. She says she came to American because she liked it but more importantly because of the difficulties involved in entering college in China. One has to wonder if these difficulties could be a reason for some of the student unrest in her country. When you graduate from high school in Chi- na, it is hard to get in (colleges). You have to take a big test. In 1983, only 5% of the graduat- ing classes got into colleges, she explained. Of the economic conditions the students seem so appaled with in China, Bing feels things are improving. I think that the economic conditions have improved, she said. Everyone used to be poorer than they are now. m 40 Underclassmen Lori Cherry Lowell Childers Denise Christopher Debbie Chumney Tara Clancey Sherri Clark Joe Clevenger Yvette Coburn Donna Ann Collins Jeff Collins Karen Conaway Belinda Cottrill Darren Crebtree Melanie Creighton Alicia Cross Kelly Cunningham Sharon Cutlip Alieu Demba Gregory W.

In some cases, for- eign reporters covering demonstrations in Shanghai were cheered and applauded by the Chinese students who considered freedom of the press essential to their idea of democracy. It seems odd that in this country we criticize the news media for tell- ing too much and want- ing to know too much, yet that is what the Chi- nese students consider important to democra- cy, said Angie Cable, junior education major. Another demand that the Chinese students have made is the right to vote for their own leaders who are now ap- pointed by the govern- ment. Voting for our lead- ers is just something that we Americans take for granted. I wonder if we were the ones who had to protest if that would change, said Sam Welty, freshman economics major. The Chinese govern- ment faces a particular- ly dangerous delimma. The more freedom it al- lows, the more that will be demanded. It is disturbing and also sad to think that in our modern world, there are people still fighting for their freedom, said Andrea St. Clair, a freshman nursing stu- dent.

(Photo from World Wide Telepho- to, Inc.) eases are caused by our actions. AIDS is passed along during sex or in the ex- change of contaminated blood or contact with contaminated body fluids. It invades the ge- netic core of specific cells in the immune sys- tem, opening the way for infections. As of November of 1986, 15,000 Ameri- cans had died of AIDS or from AIDS-related diseased, 27,000 had been diagnosed as suf- fering from AIDS, and 1.5 million were esti- mated to be carrying the deadly AIDS virus — usually without knowing it. Official projections that by 1991, 270,00 Americans will have been diagnosed as hav- ing AIDS, 54,000 will have died per year and the virus will have spread to probably betwen 5 to 10 million people, make finding a way to protect and cure people from the AIDS virus vital. The AIDS virus is in- curable and invariably fatal, and over 90% of all AIDS victims are homosexuals or intrave- nous drug users. Broadly speaking, there are three ways to protect Americans from the virus. First, the government could try to isolate or quarantine the AIDS carriers. Second, the govern- Glenda Moore Robin Murphy Kelly Neal Jody Newbrough Lisa Nicholson Underclassmen 45 • i % W ■ ■■ K S cjfe A Sjj 3f i -: ' V: W z % is, i llv t V i v ■ t A ' awn... - v 46 Underclassmen % e w4 e An incurable, fatal disease ment could issue man- datory testing so as to identify the carriers, but this is against the doctrines of individual privacy and experts warn that testing may drive suspected carriers Researching new detection methods, a chemical techni- cian monitors a new test ca- pable of detecting a protein of the AIDS virus. (Photo from World Wide Telepho- to, Inc.) underground. The third alternative is to eliminate the com- mon behaviors that spread the virus by edu- cating people about the disease. Educating the popu- lation about the hazards of the AIDS virus seems to be the best course of action until a cure can be found. AT FSC, some stu- dents proved to be more aware of the virus than others. Jim Eddy, a fresh- man chemistry major, felt that he had no rea- son to worry. I don ' t shoot up, I ' m not homosexual, and I ' m not intimate with strangers, he said. As far as I ' m concerned, I ' m risk-free. Many other FSC stu- dents didn ' t share the same concern-free atti- tude that Eddy had. Re- alizing the potential dangers some students expressed real concern. I ' m not homosexual or shoot up, and I stick with one partner, but I think I ' m still suscept- ible, said Jeff Collins, sophomore psychology major. If I needed a blood transfusion at the hospital, I could get AIDS, and I ' m sure they ' ll find more ways heterosexuals can get the disease, Collins said.

Over 250 ethnic groups with individual lan- guages, cultures and so- cial organizations are represented by nearly 300 languages. In Nigeria, just as in the U.S., old mingles with new in architec- ture, technology and li- festyles. Business tech- nology brought Em- manuel Nduka and Joseph Igidemba to America and FSC. Nduka and Igidimba are from Owerri, cap- ital of Imo-state. Both are interested in the lat- est developments for the business world. Lifestyles seem to be the major difference when comparing this country to Nigeria ac- cording to both stu- dents. Approaches to marriage and crime control a re unusual, while most problems re- sult from increasing population and associ- ated economic troubles. As a result of exports, mainly oil, Nigeria is one of the few African states with a strong economy, but they are still unable to keep pace with demands of the ex- ploding urban popula- tion. Marriage attitudes are based on economic, historical and religious beliefs, and polygamy is easier to understand when a breakdown of the population shows five women to each man. In comparison, U.S. figures show 95 males to every 100 fe- males. According to Igi- dimba, a man can have as many wives as he de- sires, provided he can support them all. When a man does marry, he must reimburse the par- ents of the bride, and they use this dowry to rear other children. Sums may reach up to $10,000 per wife. Changing trends in America show more unwed couples, and 1982 statistics reveal one of every two mar- riages fail. Igidimba said, In my country there is no divorce . . .

But, you can al- ways marry another. Custom dictates that no one is left helpless and forgotten. Asked if drug-related crimes are as wide- spread as in the U.S., Nduka replied, Drugs are highly restricted in Nigeria. If you are caught with any type of drug, you are sentenced to 21 years in prison or face a firing squad by the military. All seri- ous crimes have the same punishment. Those committing what Americans consid- er minor crimes are as- signed to a work pro- gram where they are used productively in farming tasks or high- way maintenance. With these deterents, prisons and rehabilitation pro- grams do not present the monumental prob- lem that they do in the U.S. Nigeria is an OPEC member and one to the world ' s leading produc- ers of crude petroleum. Their oil has a low sul- fur content, making it particularly appealing to American and Euro- pean buyers trying to reduce air pollution. The quality of oil is a source of great pride as Nduka remarked, ... the country that has the best oil in the world.

I JL Every nation has its own laws con- _J cerning drug enforcement. An ex- ■HB ample is Nigeria. According to the President ' s Commission on Orga- nized Crime, independent heroin smugglers for Lebanon, Pakistan and Nigeria pose growing problems for law enforcement. In Nigeria, how- ever, there is no internal drug problem as there is in other countries. Godwin Nwoba is a foreign exchange student from the Federal Republic of Nigeria. He says that the laws concerning drugs are very strict in Nigeria. He also says that Nigeria is not a drug producer, but merely a transit point for drug traffic. In 1983, the Buhari regime, a military dicta- torship introduced new laws to cut down on drug trafficking through Nigeria. The minimum sen- tence for drug possession was 21 years with the maximum sentence being death. When the laws first went into effect, three men received the maximum sentence. Since the present regime has taken power, the laws have been relaxed, the death sentence no longer being used. Nwoba thinks the laws are good ones, but feels that the death sentence is too drastic. When you try to stop someone from taking drugs, you are trying to save their life. Why then kill someone just because they have possession of them, he says. He thinks that pressures from other countries concerning the drug traffic through Nigeria brought about the laws. The government was Faculty 53 Michael Overking Dr. E.E. Peters Dr. H.

When asked whether he thought it would help the United States to use similar laws, he an- swered, Yes. It would benefit the U.S. by low- ering the numbers of pushers through fear. He does not, however, think that the United States will ever try them. In the United States, there ' s been a great deal of attention placed on the problem of drugs. Many things are being done to combat the drug problem. Nancy Reagan ' s Just Say No pro- gram, RAD (Rock Against Drugs) and many others are trying to increase the public ' s aware- ness of the problem and to find solutions for it. Commercials on TV and radio speak out against cocaine, alcohol and other things. Sports figures and celebrities are also taking a stand. In Nigeria, Nwoba said that public opinion is very severe when it comes to drugs. This severity of opinion is one of the things Mrs. Reagan is trying to bring about. She said, We must create an atmosphere of intolerance to drug use in this country.

The number of students enrolling in the initial edu- cation course - Ed 200 - is climbing drastical- ly, he continued. Of the approximately 1200 stu- dents enrolled in teacher education, nearly 300 graduated. 1986-87 was the first school year for the imple- mentation of the Policy 5100 testing component across the state.

Harris also described the theatre as a place to learn, and a way to gain self-confi- dence. Theatre teaches you to be an individual and a nonconformist. You learn not to be afraid to show the real you, she ex- plained. Eric Dutton, a junior who just recently changed his major to theatre and began performing in FSC shows, agrees with Harris.

The- atre teaches a person to be responsible, to get along with others, and to gain satisfaction from a job well done, according to Dutton. You may not get paid, but the experiences and challenges you receive are worth more than mon- ey can buy, he added. The same enthusiastic, people-oriented ideals were apparent among the cast of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, the spring musical which drew sell- out audiences. It was the closest-knit show I ' ve ever been in, said Libbeth Long, a freshman oral communi- cations major who sang in the chorus of Joseph . I made a lot of new friends that I ' d never have made other wise, and I wouldn ' t trade my memo- ries of the show for any- thing, she said. The rest of the cast feels the same way, I ' m sure, and many of us feel sorry for those who don ' t take advantage of this great opportunity, she added.

DEBATE: Not just arguing Ask anyone on the in- tercollegiate debate team at FSC if debating is just arguing and youll get a resounding No for an answer. Debate is a diversi- fied competitive activ- ity, but is also one that anyone can benefit from, said Jean Shep- pard, a senior oral com- munications major and member of the team. Learning to argue is important, but having good supporting materi- als is very important, also. In debate, you learn both, Sheppard said. The debators re- search a topic, then pre- pare cases supporting the resolution and argu- ments against it. The 1986-87 FSC debators were Bonnie Spencer, Jennifer Boyce, Jean Sheppard, Michael Hurley, Gayle Greer, and Susan Morris. Debate tournaments are designated as novice for first year debators; junior varsity for first or second year; and varsity for advanced debators. Usually composed of 10- 12 students, the FSC intercollegiate debate squad is open to any full-time student with an interest in debate and a 2.0 or better grade-point average. The debate team was coached by Miecheal Overking, associate professor of speech communications, and Pat Wilson, a part-time oral communication in- structor, in the spring term. 72 Art Speech Fine Arts Art Speech Senior art exhibits, Fine Arts Gala Art Show highlight the year The art depart- ment of the fine arts division held exhibits throughout the year. The Wallman Hall Gal- lery had exhibits by stu- dents, alumni and guests. Exhibiting artists would sometimes give talks in the Gallery concerning their work. The Fine Arts Gala Art Show was a big event for the art department this year. Work by three stu- dents, Sam Brunett, senior art education major, Brian Meade, senior communi- cations design-graphics major, and Christine Sams, junior art major, was shown while the rest exhibited were graduates, along with four art profes- sors, James Brooks, John Clovis, Stephen Smigocki and Barry Snyder. Brun- ett feels that the Gala Art Show helped to improve public awareness of art due to the large number of people who attended. A senior art exhibit took place the week of May 4- 8. It gave students a chance to display their best art of the year. First, however, the work was judged to see if it could be in the exhibit. The works that made it were then judged again, this time for awards and prizes. Classes in the art de- partment also took trips to different places. One ex- ample was the watercolors class which went to Cedar Lakes, near Ripley, WV twice this year. The Art Gild is a club in the art department con- sisting mainly of art ma- jors.

During the past 34 years Joe Retton has no- ticed many physical changes in Fairmont State ' s scenery. The physical changes have been many, the addi- tion of the Nickel, science building, library, Feaster Center, one of the wom- en ' s dorms, the men ' s dorm, and the mainte- nance building have been quite apparent, com- mented Joe Retton. The growth of student population and facilities have allowed Fairmont State to offer a broadened curriculum. Retton ex- claims One of the biggest improvements has to be the curriculum. There are many expanded fields plus the addition of new phys- ical structures. The in- troduction of many new two-and four-year pro- grams have helped student population to increase im- mensely. When asked to contrast students of today with those of the past, Coach responded by saying, I can ' t really answer that, because during my 19- year coaching term I was in a limited athletic atmo- sphere. However Retton stated, I can only esti- mate by saying that the students of today are very similar to other ones of yeateryear. In the past youngsters worked at a outside job a little more because of lack of money and a minimal amount of financial assistants pro- grams. Retton also com- mented, The work atti- tude of today might be dif- ferent. The growth and changes that have taken place over the years have been good, according to Retton. Most all of the changes were very good. They benefit the school and the students, con- cluded Coach Retton. The success of Fairmont State College is definitely ap- parent. Academic fields and enrollment figures are still soaring to greater heights that will benefit the students of today for the future. During his class, Dr. Bundy lec- tures to his students.

Since the ending of the 1986 spring semester there have been quite a few changes in the Lan- guage and Literature Di- vision. Most notable was the retirement of its chair- man Dr. Byron Jackson. On July 1, Dr. Robert Grattan, English profes- sor, was appointed division chairman. The division of- fice and the chairman ' s of- fice were switched to allow for greater secretarial space with computer sys- tems. A computer termi- nal and printer were also ordered for the journalism department during the fall semester in an effort to up- date that area.

We ' re trying to con- centrate our strengths, to look at the English offe- ings and the frequency of the classes scheduled. We want to improve the schedule and determine if new courses are needed as per state standards, Dr. Grattan said. The division sponsored Sigma Tau Delta, English honorary; Alliance Frans- ciase de Fairmont State College, French honorary; and Society for Collegiate Journalists, Journalism honorary. During graduation, English professors Dr. George Byers and Dr. Judy Byers, participate in the ceremony dressed in their doctoral robes. 86 Language Literature Through the many changes Anne Morgan, professor of English and Spanish, has been with FSC through many changes. The changes span 45 years and Morgan sees the changes in three distinct stages. The first stage is 1941-45 during her own college days. Morgan says, When I entered college I was in the first swimming class at Colebank gym. There were about 1,000 students here on campus. When I graduated in 1945, there were 150 students. No Mound was published in 1944-45. The United States was fighting World War II, but students were still involved in college life. It was a time for concern for others as well. Naval aviation ca- dets were at Jackson ' s Mill and we would go up and have them down. At Christmas some of the cadets spent the Holidays with families here in Fair- mont. During the second stage, Morgan was assistant registrar and manager of the book store. FSC ex- perienced its biggest spurt of growth in this post World War II era, 1950-70. It was a time for build- ing new facilities — the library, dining hall, stu- dent center, North Hall and Pence Hall were add- ed. Veterans were coming to school on the GI bill and student population increased dramatically. On the changes of the sixties, Morgan says, The changes were not all from Vietnam. The world shrank in size with instant communications. People also became caught up in instant gratifica- tion. On the lighter side, one change since Mor- gan has began teaching is there are not as many barefoot students in the classroom these days. Today one of the biggest changes is the student population. Morgan says, We certainly have many more non-traditional students and I find them very willing to learn, very serious students. When asked if students have changed much since she was a student, Morgan replied, Kids today have been brought up differently than we were. I hope each student takes advantage of the excellent professors FSC has. They have so much to offer. But one thing is for sure, kids are kids and some things neve r change.

Social Sciences ROTC: a facet of FSC Social Sciences The ROTC ex- tension of Fair- mont State Col- lege wrapped up their activities held during the schoo year with the an- nual FTX exercise the sec- ond week in April at Chestnut Ridge State Park. FTX is an acronym for field training exercise, a type of post-test for cadets of the training received during the year. Involved in FTX are the MS-3 cadets. The MS-4 cadets run them through the three-day exercise which tests cadets phys- ical endurance, their knowledge of land naviga- tion and troop leadership. (The acronym MS stands for Military Science with the number representing classroom status). The ROTC shuttled to Morgantown, WV Sep- tember 28 for a day of re- pelling at Mount Chateau in the hills bordering Cheat Lake. Under the di- rection of Major Larry Brown 60 ROTC mem- bers tackled three cliffs at Mount Chateau; two 60 foot cliffs and one 90 foot cliff. The first two hours were entirely instructional on topics such as knot ty- ing and safety proce- dures, stated cadet Cap- tain Crabtree, Then we were free to repel the re- maining part of the after- noon. The cadets treated Miss America with a saber arch and color guards when she visited the Middletown Mall April 17 in Fair- mont, during her promo- tional tour. History professor John Fitch offers advice on operating a computer during computer camp. Repelling and field training exercises are highlights of ROTC year. Social Sciences 91 Library Progress made through interface, computerization in library The changeover to computer- ization kept librarians more than busy throughout the school year. If you want to talk about progress at the Fairmont State Col- lege library, you have to mention two spe- cific things Interface and Computerization. Interface is a communi- cation system set up by the librarians to get feedback from students. It ' s home is a bulletin board beside the circulation desk. Ques- tions and response forms are filled out by students and answered by the li- brarians. These forms are then displayed on the bul- letin board for others to view. I ' m surprised at the re- sponse we have had with Interface, said Penny Pugh, librarian. The stu- dents use it to comment on, criticize and compli- ment the library. ' 1 The computerization in the Library seems to be an Sitting at the librarian ' s desk on the main floor of the Library, librarian Penny Pugh looks over some reference material. important accomplish- ment. We ' re making good progress on the retrospec- tive conversion project, said Mr. Robert Masters, head administrator of the library. This is where all catalog records (the card catalog) are converted into computers — the ma- chine readable catalog. In fact, a system simi- lar to the machine reada- ble catalog has been on display in the library since February. It is the DOBIS system. 92 Library Selecting books from the stacks offered for sale, instructor Anne Morgan and other students make their purchases at the an- nual Library book sale.

Library 93 Library Progress made in library The libarary staff has worked with this system the most, but facul- ty members and the com- munity have been given demonstrations on how it works. The DOBIS system would allow a student to replace everything in the card catalog with a com- puter. In this particular system, WVU has put 30,000 records on it, whereas (FSC) have 8,000 records on it, ' ' ' said Mas- ters. It works on an ex- perimental basis. The user can search the computer ' fflcatalog to lo- cate materials by author, title, subject, etc. He can find out just how many books he has checked out. Lastly, the user can send a note or message to thfflli- brary staff through the computer. The computer can also be used to check out mate- rials. Each book and student ID will have a bar code and a light pen will be used to transmit the codes into the computer, said Masters.

Naturally, not all teams end- 1 I ed their seasons as national champions, but they were all champions in some way. In every sport FSC participated in, it somehow outshined the previous year. Perhaps one player was ex- tremely successful, as was Mike Rosco breaking the FSC mark twice for most catches in two individual games, or perhaps the whole team was successful as was the swimming team placing fourth in the nationals with five swimmers capturing national championship ti- tles in individual competition. Regardless of how big or small the team ' s successes were throughout the year, they all made it appar- that FSC was Back But Better. MP ' S!! Xi ' .

We had a remark- able season, no doubt about it, said Steve Mahaney, who has served as the Falcon ' s head swimming coach for the past 16 seasons. For me this had to be one of the most self-sat- isfying seasons that I ' ve ever had, self-satisfying in the sense that the team did so great, they worked extremely hard and they really deserved to do well. And when something you worked so hard for all season long comes together, it really feels great, said Mahaney. Getting his equipment to- gether, Jeremy Pecora prepares to practice.

FALCON SWIMMERS 11 the Fal- con swim- mers did to satisfy their coach was to turn in one of the fin- est NAIA tournaments FSC has ever had. The FSC women fin- ished fourth in the na- tion, their highest finish ever, while bringing home four national championships, eight Ail-American honors, 14 varsity records along with having one of their women named co-win- ner of the outstanding female swimmer award in the tournament. The Falcon men fin- ished seventh in the na- tion, returning from the NAIA tournament with seven Ail-American honors, while setting varsity records in ten events. I can ' t say enough about our women. They were really ready for the nationals and it showed. I sure can ' t take anything away from our guys, either.

The women ' s team was led by Lisa Bailey, who was named a co-winner in the Out- standing NAIA Wom- an Swimmer Competi- tion. She set two nation- al records in winning the 100 and 200 back- stroke. She also won the 50 freestyle and was a member of two national championship relay teams that also set NAIA records in those events.

Karen Pteko and Mary Ellen Earley were also members of the two national championship relay teams that set NAIA records for the fastest time.

In addition to the Falcon ' s All-American honors, two lady swim- mers, Sally Lambert and Susan Simmons, were named Academic All-Americans for their achievements in the classroom as well as in the pool. Sally is probably the finest lady I ' ve ever worked with, Ma- haney said. She is a true leader who has many fine qualities that you just can ' t teach a person.

For the third year in a row, diver Bill Cushing won All- American honors on the strength of his third place finishes in both the one and three meter board events. Our men did as well as could be expected, commented Mahaney. There was some stiff competition for the men this year, which is usu- ally the case. The men ' s competition has been around much longer than the women ' s so there ' s that element of tradition there that fur- ther enhances the com- petition. Those swimmers qua- lifing for All-American honors were Jeremy Pe- cora, John Simon, Brad Slus, Ward Purvis, and Ron Lark along with divers Bill Cushing and Ed Gordon.

Having two such athletes on the same team when the team only consists of nine people seems almost impossible, but Fairmont State swim team members Lisa Bailey and Sally Lambert have taken the impossible and made it a reality. In the pool Bailey and Lambert were the ma- jor forces behind the fourth place finish for the Lady Falcons ' swim team at the NAIA national meet held in Milwaukee, Wis. Bailey was named Co-winner of the meet ' s Outstanding Female Swimmer award by winning three individual events setting two Naia record times. Lambert, finished third in the Outstanding Female Swimmer award and won two individual titles establishing NAIA record times. At the annual Falcon swim team banquet held May 8, Lambert was named the outstanding female senior swimmer for 1987 and Bailey was named the outstanding swimmer for 1987.

And why not? In her junior and senior years in high school, she par- ticipated in the AAU Junior Olympics, reach- ing the finals of the tournament against Notre Dame the first time around. Her out- standing performances in high school prompted scouts from big schools like UCLA, New Mexi- co, Ohio State, and UNLV to try to recruit her into their respective programs. But after vis- iting several of these schools, Vonda was less than enthusiastic about attending them. I knew I didn ' t want to go to a big school, she said. I was very un- happy at the big schools because there you were just another number and coming out of high school, being a lot more than a number, I didn ' t want that.

LADY FALCON BASKETBALL ty ! t was a good I || thing that I she was playing for its program because the 5-6 point guard was one of the main components in the team ' s incredible sec- ond-half comeback. The Lady Falcons were struggling to get past the .500 mark dur- ing the fall semester, but after the Christmas break, the team was on fire, winning 13 of 16 games before bowing out in the WVIAC tour- nament semi-final game. The game that began the streak was a 70-65 win over West Liberty Jan. 23, that saw the Lady Falcons score six points in the final 24 seconds. Three games later, the team rolled up an FSC record of 103 points in its Jan. 30 home game against Da- 112 Women ' s Basketball vis and Elkins. Shaw who scored 27 of those points, had some fond memories of that game. D E was the last- place team in the league, but I came into the locker room before the game and told them (the Lady Falcons) to forget about their (D E ' s) record and just play the game. And that was probably the finest game we played all year. We went out, we executed, everything we threw up went in and we had a good time. The 100-91 overtime loss to Salem Feb. 2 provided mixed emo- tions for Shaw. She scored a career-high 33 points and made the shot that put the game into overtime. But in overtime, a persistent Coming down from a rebound Rita Rhodes keeps the ball out of her opponents hands during the FSC 70-65 victory over WSLC.

We were terrible in overtime and it is de- moralizing because we were fouling out right and left and their inside people were still playing with four fouls. Shaw called the Feb. 14 home victory against W.Va. Wesylan one of the more satisfying wins of the season because it broke a three game los- ing streak against the Lady Bobcats. An 83-76 regular sea- son-ending victory over Charleston rocketed the Lady Falcons to a No. 3 seeding entering the WVIAC tournament in Charleston. Women ' s Basketball 113 LADY FALCON BASKETBALL ■J ,-«-, heir first opponent 1 was No. 4 Alderson- Broaddus, a team they had beaten twice in the regular sea- son. It ' s really hard to beat a team three times, especially in the tourna- ment. Last year, we beat A-B twice in the regular season, but in the playoffs, we beat them by only four points. When you go into a tournament, it ' s a brand new season; no- body ' s records count and it doesn ' t matter where you are seeded. As far as pregame jit- ters go, we were so anx- ious to play that we couldn ' t wait to get on the court, so we didn ' t execute the way we should have. After half- time, we worked out our jitters and we went out and killed them in the second half. The shoe, or sneaker in this case, was on the other foot against their second-round opponent W.Va. Tech because the Lady Falcons had twice lost to them in the regular season. But Shaw was quick to point out why that statistic was meaningless. We played Tech in the Salem Tip-Off tour- nament, but that was in the first semester, so we knew we were a totally different team from what they had seen then. When we played Tech the second semes- ter, we didn ' t have Jackie Burks because she was out with pneu- monia or something and we finished the game with only five guards on the floor because we were in foul trouble again. So, psychologi- cally, we knew we were capable of beating this team. It was just a mat- ter of going out and do- ing the type of things we needed to do. Shaw called the tour- nament semi-final heartbreaker against Concord the lowest point of the 1986-87 season because the Lady Falcons lost an al- most insurmountable 15-point lead in the fi- nal six minutes. The whole game, we played great. We were the top seed left in the tournament and every- one was picking us to win the tournament. So we went out against Concord and blew them off the floor in the first half. We went out in the second half, and this has been typical of our whole season. We get a lead and we don ' t play smart. With six minutes to go, we were winning by 15 points and they ' re chipping away at the lead.

Even after the Leaving her West Liberty opponents trailing behind her, Vonda Shaw goes for a layup in a fast break during the 70-65 FSC home victory. game, sitting in the stands, we couldn ' t be- lieve what had hap- pened. It was disap- pointing and disgusting. Disgusting is a good word because we had everything in front of 1 14 Women ' s Basketball us. All we had to do was to keep winning and do- ing the things we knew how to do and we didn ' t do that. I had always told Coach (Jim) Brink- man that all our mis- takes were going to catch up with us and it was a shame that it caught up when it did. It took me a long time to get over that game be- cause the potential was there. It was the best opportunity we ' ve had since I ' ve been here to win the tournament. All in all though, Shaw had a great season. She led the WVIAC in as- sists, breaking her own record with 7.1 per game. Her 448 points (16.7 per game) not only placed her 12th in the league, but also put her just 1 1 points short of 1,000 career points. She also placed 10th overall in field-goal per- centage with 48.7, an impressive figure for a long-range shooter like Shaw. Her accomplish- ments at Fairmont State moved her coach to call Shaw the great- est player I ' ve ever coached. Attempting to put two more points on the board, Jackie Burks takes a jump shot during a home game. Moving downcourt Vonda Shaw prepares to do battle with three A-B opponents.

The game against Concord, Sept. 27, was the high point of the season for me. I caught 1 1 passes to set the school record and I caught a key pass in the fourth quarter (to keep us in the game). Because Concord usually beats us, this win was the biggest one we ' ve had since I ' ve been here.

Although the Falcons won 3-0 against Salem on Nov. 8, Roscoe said that this game was the low point of the season for him. He had only three catches all day. Thus, he had to play very well against tough Edinboro College to set a new season mark. This was the last year in the contract between us. They wanted out because they thought they were too good fox us. We wanted to prove them wrong. Our defense was No. 1 in the nation and that gave us a lot of confidence. The defense held for three quarters, but an outburst final period propelled Edinboro past the Falcons 57-33 despite Roscoe ' s performance.

The ladies tennis team consisted of only one senior, Tina Peller- ite, and several other players that were en- gaging in competitive tennis for the first time. Despite their lack of experience and having to deal with some horrid weather, the team man- aged a tie for fifth place in the WVIAC cham- pionships. Preston, the Falcon ' s No. 1 singles player, was without a doubt the highlight of the team ' s season. Compiling an 8-3 re- cord, she reached the finals of the WVIAC championships for the second year in a row be- fore losing to Rebecca Falbo of the University of Charleston, 6-1, 1-6, 2-6.

The defending WVC champions, Shepherd College, proved to be too much for the Fal- cons in their next match Sept. 11. The victory went to the Rams by a score of 8-1 with the No. 1 doubles team of Preston and Vickie McNear posting the only FSC victory. After the Shepherd match the rains came. The Falcon ' s next two matches, Sept. 19 with Alderson-Broaddus and Oct. 3 with Shepherd, had to be cancelled. To complicate matters, the re-scheduled match with A-B on Oct. 1 3 was also rained out. When the Lady Fal- cons finally resumed play two weeks later they were defeated by West Liberty 8-1 with Preston, again posting the only FSC victory. Playing an indoor match which featured no doubles play against Charleston, the Falcons lost 5-1. The team suffered their only shutout of the year at the hands of W.Va.

FSC ended their regular season on a positive note by de- feating A-B 5-4 on Oct. 9. Preston, McNear, and Pellerite all won their singles matches for FSC. Preston and McNear also won their No. 1 doubles match and the No. 3 doubles team of Melanie Paligrino and Lenora Boord also post- ed a victory for the Fal- cons.

The season definitely witnessed a joint effort on the part of every member on the team while hopes of another trip to the National Championship blos- somed in the back of their minds throughout the course of the year. The squad captured an eleven place finish at the national event the year before and still carry hopes of a high finish. Todd Trickett, the team captain, led his squadron into battle at the Northern and Cen- tral Regional and came out with a third place trophy for their efforts. The next week saw the team traveling to the lower half of the state where they took an un- ceremonious fourth place finish for their ef- forts.

Falcon Men ' s Tennis Netters finish second in WVIAC Tournament A lot of ath- letes, espe- cially those chosen few who excel in their respective sport, tend to down- play their ability probably because the rightly learned early in their training that overconfidence is the quickest route to me- diocrity. Fairmont State sophomore Eddie Si- zemore, who has held down the No. 1 sin- gles position the past two years, apparently has learned this les- son well. The Mullens High School graduate has every right to brag about his ability. For example, he won the WVIAC conference championship in sin- gles competition in both 1986 and 1987 and has only lost three singles matches in his two years at FSC. But when he was asked about his domi- nation over his oppo- nents, he quickly pointed out that he had tough matches against Darrin Iden of Shepherd (a 4-6, 7- 5, 6-4 win) and Troy McMullen of the University of Charleston, whom he defeated 7-5, 6-4 April 12. The team that was so utterly dominating in going 18-1 and capturing the confer- ence title in 1986 fin- ished the 1987 season at 12-5 and second in the WVIAC tourna- ment. But in many ways, this year ' s team was even better than the 1986 squad. For example, the 1987 Falcons faced a much better grade of competition. Secondly, several key members of the team had to play with injuries. Dan LoNi- gro suffered a back injury during the sea- son while Bill Lehoist injured his arm. Size- more had to work through an ankle in- jury for their next seven matches, but in the middle of that streak, a freak April snowstorm cancelled matches against Con- cord, Charleston, Al- derson-Broaddus and Duquense. The Charleston netters proved to be a big thorn in the Fal- con ' s sides this sea- son, as FSC lost both regular-season matches by identical 6-3 counts in addition to finishing second to them in the WVIAC tournament. Intramurals ■j _ he intramural program at Fair- mont State College continued its ■ growth this past year with more students than ever participating in the 24 various sports that the program of- fered during the course of the year. I feel the program is growing because of the people associated with the program, said Jean Ward, intramural director. Participa- tion in all events was upped from that of last year which, in itself, was the most populated ever. The intramural program at FSC is broken down into three different categories of frater- nities, club-dorm, and independents for the men and two different divisions, sororities — faculty and halls — independents, for the women. The men boast a roster of 19 different teams while the women compete amongst their 11 teams.

Burkes, who just began playing the sport this past year, has proved herself to be one of the most feared players in the confer- ence.

Men ' s Basketball 133 team player. - Coleman needed every bit of his versatility to complete the 1 986-87 sea- son successfully. Because of Joe Jones ' graduation, this year ' s squad was left without a dominating center. Coleman ' s respon- sibility to help teammate Haywood Highsmith con- trol the middle as well as play strong forward and small forward, demanded a big adjustment for the 6-5 Charlottesville, Va. high school graduate. It was a big change for me because here I played forward, post, swing . . . it ' s like you have to know how to play everything. The difference is that in high school we had to set up first and then run, but here it is mostly instinct. What were Coleman ' s recollections about his first collegiate game against Wilmington Col- lege? I was very nervous . . . 1 didn ' t want to overdo it because I could have got- ten out of the rhythm of the offense and defense. I had no idea that 1 could perform at the college lev- el. I always thought that I could. Sometimes I would perform well because of my attitude toward play- ing. (I ' d say to myself), i have to do something bet- ter this time ' ... so I wasn ' t consistent at times. After a home win against LaRoche Nov. 19, Fairmont State suffered a humiliating 1 1 6-68 loss at Waynesburg Dec. 3, the worst defeat in the col- lege ' s cage history. In the rematch almost two months later, the Falcons vindicated themselves with a highly emotional 96-94 home win. (The loss) really dis- couraged us. I thought we had a good team, and I still think we did. But to come out and play like that, the way we did 134 Men ' s Basketball against a top-20 team, it affected us a lot. We got down . . . and we couldn ' t get the tempo back. We lost it in the opening five minutes ... at one point we were down 28-2. The first time, we were physically, ... but not mentally ready. We were trying to do too much, ... by trying to think ahead to the next play instead of letting it come naturally. The second time, we got a good start. We knew we could beat them and we proved it . . . the last time, we were mentally ready this time and that helped ...

Later against Concord Feb. 7, FSC twice came back from 5-point deficits to force two overtimes to win. According to Coleman, the motivation for the comebacks came in the locker room. In the lock- er room, the coach told us what we ' re doing right and wrong. In one mid-season stretch, the Falcons played Alderson-Broad- dus, West Virginia Wes- leyan and Shepherd, the No. 3, 4, and 2 teams in the WVIAC at the time, in succession. Although the team lost all three games (the last two in overtime), Coleman thought the games had a positive effect on the team. It made us feel better because we knew right then we could play with anyone in the league. That confidence resulted in the Falcons holding their own against heavy favorites West Vir- ginia State (a 105-94 loss) and Charleston (a 85-81 setback), the No. 1 and No. 2 teams in the WVIAC, in the final two regular season games only to lose to Shepherd in the first round of the WVIAC tournament.

It ' s really tough to get kids to come out for the team because many of them aren ' t willing to make the committment to the number of hours it takes to make the team work. You have to realize that we really have no season, we basi- cally work all year round. Tacy admits that new rules instituted last year have limited some of the stunts that the squad was able to perform. There have been some new rules that have revised somewhat the restrictions from last year on stunts and pyramids to allow us to do more, but the restric- tions are solely for the safety of the cheer- leaders and we know that is more important than anything else.

FALCON BASEBALL rp I he only j| jj problem Schuler said he had was weight. The only problem was that I had put on a good bit of size to en- able me to play college football and when I went to pitch it really showed in the sense that I didn ' t have the veloc- ity on the ball that I really wanted. When Schuler ar- rived at Fairmont State he stood 5- 1 1 and weighed 205 pounds. I just got off the weight program I was on and as the weight came off you could see my velocity (on the ball) pick up. Schuler feels that he is a much better pitcher now that he weighs around 186 pounds. My two best pitches are my fastball and my curve. I really rely on them for the most part. 142 Baseball I never disagree with whatever pitch the catcher tells me to throw, said Shuler. He ' s (the catcher) the man behind the plate. He knows better than anyone else what ' s working for me on any particular day or what the batter has been go- ing after, so why dis- agree with him. One of the attributes that Shuler feels that he has is the ability to block things out of his mind to enable him to fully concentrate on his pitching. It ' s not that easy mentally being a pitch- er. I think I do a pretty good job of blocking out everything else that is going on around me. It especially comes in handy when we ' re play- Swinging several bats, Kent Freeman loosens up while waiting his turn to bat.

Take the game where we played at Marshall this year, they had a rowdy crowd. I re- member I hadn ' t shaved in a few days and the crowd was yelling things like I hope you pitch better than you shave. Baseball 143 BASEBALL don ' t pay any atten- tion to that kind of stuff. Sometimes I ' ll just step in back of the mound and relax for a second, but things like that don ' t really bother me. One of the things that Shuler really enjoyed about the Falcons 1987 season was the relaxed atmosphere that first year head coach Ron Whiting brought to the team with him this year. I really like Coach Whiting, he ' s sort of been a real father figure to all of us this season. He ' s really easy to get along with and its just made it easier to go through the whole sea- son. I think the best game I had this year was the West Virginia Tech game, said Shuler referring to the April 1 8 contest at Tech in which the Falcons won 19-9. Everything just fell into place for me that game, I had good veloc- ity on fastball, my con- trol was good, I just felt really good that game. We should have a pretty good team next year, said Shuler look- ing to the future. | | 144 Baseball Young and old baseball fans en- joy America ' s number 1 past- time at the collegiate level on the bleachers during the FSC vs. Concord game.
