Town and Gown players of 1987 presented a spectrum of performances. You ' re A Good Man, Charlie Brown, directed by Dan- iel K. K. Weber, associate professor of speech and the- ater, opened the season. Charlie Brown, Linus, Lucy and Snoopy proved to be a hit with children and adults. The second show of the summer season, Agnes of God, directed by B.J. Sherman, associate professor of speech and theatre, provided intrigue and mystery as the drama seeked to explain Agnes ' emaculate conception. The Foreigner topped the season and the box office. This hilarious and zany comedy, by award-winning play- wright Larry Shue, offered humor and satire at its finest. Directed by Weber, The Foreigner made three encore performances early in the fall semester. Glee Club rehearsal of Home on the Range can be frustrating. Especially with such characters as Charlie Brown, Linus and Lucy. Patty, Peggy Marchese, politely refuses the kiss from her favorite canine friend Snoopy (John Fallon). Poor Charlie Brown (John Piscitelli) is suffering the crisis exper- iences by many enigmas. Unfortunately, Charlie Brown learns that breathing can be rather difficult under a brown paper bag. Linus (Donald Carroll) has great fun being Lucy ' s (Sharene Sindle- decker) brother. Especially when he can make Lucy cry. NEW VISIONS 5 Visions of Winning The team has more depth this year, said cross country runner Jeff Dodrill. He added that many of the runners returning from last year have managed to shave one minute or more off their last year ' s time . . . It was a big win for us, said Falcon football coach Wally Hood. It was a game for which I think the kids had a lot of motivation going in ... The comments made by Dodrill and Coach Hood are just a hint about visions of winning. Depth . . . motivation . . . incentive . . . dedication . . . determination . . . hardwork . . . positive attitude . . . drill . . . practice . . . more drill are key elements in the mak- ing of an athlete, and in VISIONS OF WINNING . . . Gaining the edge, cross country run- ner Jeff Dodrill attempts to take the lead. The rush of adrenalin pumps through the runners as the beginning of the run starts. Newt McCutcheon tackles the oppo- sition with zest and vigor. The Falcons finished the football season with a 7-3- record. 6 Cross Country, Football NEW VISIONS 7 Visions of a crown The theme chosen for Homecoming 1987 was Music Mania, and all daily activities focused on some era of music. Highlights were the Miltenberger Jazz Quartet, who provided a wide variety of music. Also, the Ballet Du Nord performed in Wallman Hall. Fairmont was one of the ballet company ' s four stops during their American tour. After the Homecoming parade candidates selected roses. The top candidates who selected the yellow roses were Mary Ellen Earley, Stephanie Grahm, Anissa Jo Zan- nino, Billie Jo Koay, Prudence Short, Lisa Core, Tracey Summers, Cynthia Sebert and Jody Wills. During half-time, President Wendell Hardway crowned Anissa Jo Zannino as the 1987 Homecoming queen. 8 Opening . . . Above: The newly crowned queen sheds tears of happi- ness.

Homecoming . . . 9 The Face behind the Falcon By Pam Ryan The crowd squeals jub ilantly as the cheerleaders run to the middle of the court and begin to call out exultations for Fairmont State ' s basketball team. Suddenly, a quick flash of maroon and white passes before the eyes of the en- thralled spectators and she bounds ener- getically onto the court, her feathers flap- ping in the breeze. Every child gazes at her with innocent wonderment as she flaps around the gym- nasium performing stunts that only a fal- con could get away with and cheering on the team in a way that only a mascot can do. Denise Sponaugle is the coed who climbs into the heavy, extremely hot Fal- con costume and parades through the Feaster Center during every Fairmont State basketball game. A freshman English major with a spe- cialization in the gifted program, she be- came interested in the job of being the Falcon mascot when she was introduced to last year ' s mascot. 10 Opening Sponaugle feels that she is an essential part of the cheerlead- ing program because; she said, It really helps the team out when I ' m pumping up the crowd ' s spirit and I also feel that I help pump up the team ' s spirit. Children are a big part of the Falcon ' s popularity and; she said, The children seem to love me and want to hug me and some try to give me M M ' s and pop- corn. Some want to get their pic- tures taken with me, while others shy away a little. What ' s the worst thing about the job of being Falcon mascot? Having to put on the costume and take it off, she reflected. The feet are really hard to get on and I ' m always the last one on the floor and the last one out of the locker room when we go to away games. She also reported that the temperature inside the costume is often ten degrees hotter than the gymnasium temperature. Although she said she enjoys being the Falcon, she said it is a job that requires a lot of time and hard work. We practice two hours every afternoon, except game days, and sometimes we practice on the weekends. I ' m hoping to carry on the mas- cot job right through my senior year, Sponaugle concluded.

In the beginning, the college was named Fair- mont State Normal School and located downtown. The century brought not only a change of location, but also changes of name from Fairmont State Normal School to the Fairmont State Teachers ' College in 1936 and to Fairmont State College in 1943. The Administration Building is the oldest building on campus. Initially it housed the theatre, cafeteria and most subjects offered. Today, it is the home of the administra- tion offices, education and social science classes and surrounded by academic buildings and facilities. Demands and needs of the students have given the college many NEW VISIONS and buildings. However, it is always gratifying to reflect upon the past and see how the NEW VISIONS have changed the cam- pus. What was to become today ' s largest West Virginia public college, Fairmont State Normal School after 24 years at the corner of Adams and Quincy streets, moved to its Gaston Avenue site between Second and Third streets in 1893. Woman ' s Hall, now Morrow Hall, was constructed in 1921- 22 to help fulfill the need for dormitory facilities. 14 The Past The 1938 planting of the Mound tree (above) and the current growth of the Mound tree (right). Today, the tree is proof of how much the campus has grown in size. The growth of Fairmont State is evident not only in pictures, but in the attitudes and increased student en- rollment. The college has been more than an educational institute. It has become a community-serving college that reaches both the traditional and the non-traditional students. Offering degrees in nine academic divisions from allied health to technol- ogy, the college now serves a wide spectrum of local and regional inter- ests. Origins of FSC Powhatan, the Indian operetta, was among the first productions of the Masquers organization. The first Alpha Psi Omega chapter in the United States was founded at the college by Profes- sor Paul Opp. Home Economics was a bit primitive in the past. However, men were still candidates for the art of cooking. £ V ' .awa Wallman Hall, dedicated to Lawrence Wallman, professor of speech and theatre, was constructed in the late sixties. The fine arts facility houses the theatre, music, art and technol- ogy departments. The floor shown is currently Room 314. The Dining Hall appears much different before the addi- tion of students. Constructed in the late sixties, it is the loca- tion for many banquets.

Student Government Just as Mother Nature ex- perimented with temperatures this winter and spring, Stu- dent Government experi- mented with planning some in- formal, yet exciting student at- tractions. The council ' s agenda in- cluded so many out of the ordi- nary events it proved to be un- like any previous council. Members committed them- selves to work, plan and schedule what was in the best interest of the campus. They met not only to plan activities, but to maintain student fair- ness. Student Government members volunteered time, ef- forts and ideas, not to mention remaining to be a full-time stu- dents and keeping at least a 2.0 GPA. They were willing to petition what was believed wrong or needed adjustments. Their jobs called for them to work with the administration to keep the campus well in- formed. Community service was also an important task ac- complished by members along with the campus. The council was advised by Michael Belmear, student af- fairs counselor, and officers were Carrie Sopuch, presi- dent; Steve Hutchinson, vice president; Robin Coakely, secretary; Chip Royce, trea- surer; and John Will, parlia- mentarian. Members met every Thurs- day afternoon in the Coral Room of the Turley Center. 20 Student Government State senator Joe Manchin answers student questions. .

The students had many chances to become active in an event or to simply sit back and enjoy. The activities that stood out this year were the petitioning of the $50 surcharge, the first annual tree lighting and the supporting of the Messiah under the direction of music professor Jack Ashton. During the petioning of the $50 surcharge Robin Coakley noted, The only way that we as students can make a differ- ence is if we get everyone in- volved ... Student Government also led the production of FSC ' s own Dating Game and Win Lose or Draw competitions. Students seemed to be ex- cited about these events said Carrie Sopuch, president. The number that attended the off- beat events revealed a suc- cessful schedule by Student Government. The activities mentioned are only a few of the events the council organized. There was not a week that went by without something for the campus to look forward to. The events provided by the group should not be taken for granted. Without all of their sacrifices FSC would just be another campus on the map. The college turns Hollywood with the presentation of the Dating Game competition.

Medical Record Technol- ogy has a job growth rate of 75 percent by the year 2000, ac- cording to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The students enrolled in this two-year associate degree program have been able, through the Student Medical Record Organization, to tour United Hospital Center in Clarksburg and West Virginia University Hospital in Morgan- town. Student Nurses Associ- ation Organization members are enrolled in the associate degree nursing program at Fairmont State. Demonstrat- ing practical application of nursing skills in campus labo- ratories as well as clinical set- tings, they organized their Christmas party at Wishing Well Health Center and par- ticipated in the Lions Club Vi- sion Clinic in the spring.

The Art Guild is composed of members majoring in art education and related fields. The club participated in ac- tivities around campus and tried to learn more about the world of art. The Art Guild took first place in the Activities Fair in the Turley Center in Septem- ber. The group displayed col- lective works from members and sketched caricatures for many fair-goers. Among some of their ac- complishments were a pottery exhibit and demonstration and a student exhibit in December, including a display of current members ' works. The group planned trips to museums and galleries to be- come more aware of what was current in art. KAPPA KAPPA PSI — Back row — B. Tenney, J. Maxwell, J. Robinson, D. Johnson. Row 2 — D. Reel, L.

With 25 members the newly founded fraternity ' s main purpose was to support the band. Some of the tasks tackled by members included creating a handbook for the band, organizing a band banquet and assisting in the recruitment of high school students. The advisor of the group was Dr. Harry Faulk of the mu- sic department and officers were Jeff Caplinger, presi- dent; Scott Marshall, vice president; Liz Marshall, secre- tary; Virginia Copper, treasur- er; and Brian Bailey, historian. FSC Band aid. No this is not the adhesive strip that Mom put on your knee after you fell, and it does not mean a bunch of rock stars making a record- ing for world hunger. This par- ticular band aid refers to the campus ' s new Pep Band. The 27-member band ' s goal was to aid in enthusiasm and spirit for the crowds at the Feaster Center during home basketball games. The crowd has reacted to us really well, said senior mu- sic major and student director of the Pep Band, Jeff Ca- plinger. The reason for the birth of the Pep Band is simply to cre- ate school spirit and crowd re- sponse, leading to a greater support for the basketball team. We wanted to carry the ex- citement from football season over to basketball season, Caplinger added. The administrative director was music professor, Faulk. 30 Music Music The American Choral As- sociation is an organization that was going places. The group worked hard in hopes of sending 12 students to the na- tional convention in Winston Salem, N.C. However, this was not the only task to be met by the as- sociation. A constitution was drawn up and adopted by the group. The constitution is much like the Constitution of the United States. It allows the group cer- tain rights and privileges. The officers were Sharene Sindledecker, president; and Kathy Clayton, vice president; and Steve Morgan, secretary treasurer. The Music Educators Na- tional Conference (MENC) was involved in everything from a Christmas party to a conference of chapters in Jackson ' s Mill. The group, advised by Dr. Harry Faulk, broadened their skills in clinics and workshops throughout the three-day event. Julia Deavers, music educa- tion major, was chosen to pre- side as state vice president. Officers were Paul Blosser, president; Kim Parent, vice president; Robin Woodward, secretary; Pam Blaker, trea- surer; and Jeff Caplinger, ser- geant at arms. Music 33 DEBATE — Front row — S.

Three out of four people get fired technically are competant, but poor com- municators. Speech 100 is a general re- quirement for graduation and some students believe it to be unimportant; yet these same students spend most of their lives communicating. In addition to basic speech classes such as listening skills, nonverbal communica- tion, persuasion and oral inter- pretation offer students the opportunity to become more aware of the importance of communication and how to put it to use in their lives. There are three majors of- fered: theatre, speech com- munication, and oral communi- cation in education as well as minors in theatre and speech. Our programs over all are concerned with the skills of oral communications. Many people confuse hearing with speaking, said Swanson, who added that anyone can enhance his or her communi- cation skills. Alpha Psi Omega is an hon- orary founded by Dr. Paul Opp in 1923 at FSC. This fact is what all mem- bers in each of the over 800 chapters have to know when becoming members. The honorary gives recogni- tion to students achieving out- standing work in theatre and scholastics. It has put FSC on the colle- giate map, stated Jo Ann Lough, advisor for the group. Everybody who becomes a part of the group knows who founded it, where, why and how. Debate. Debating is not ex- actly an organized argument or verbal fist fight; it involves a contest between two two-per- son teams representing differ- ent colleges or universities and is judged by a faculty member not involved in the de- bate. College debaters re- search the topic for the year, prepare cases, supporting or against, for the resolution, said Michael Overking, asso- ciate professor of speech communications and debate coach. Any full-time student with a 2.0 GPA or better can join the team, Overking noted, Any in- terested student is welcome. Rittenhouse becomes a dy namic Thoreau.

' , ' Masquers The purpose of the Mas- quers dramatic organization is to create and to foster an interest in dramatic art. Membership is open to all FSC students interested or in- volved in theater activities. These include major produc- tions, one-act productions, Region III Drama Festival, and the West Virginia High School Thespian Conference. Masquers, one of the oldest organizations on campus, was started in 1923 by Dr. Paul F. Opp, a dramatics professor at the college. Today, the organization is under the direction of Daniel K. Weber, associate professor of speech and theater. The Masquers, comprised mostly of oral communication or theater majors, produced four plays this year. The For- eigner in August, The Impor- tance of Being Earnest in Oc- tober, The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail in November,! and Dirty Works at the Crossroads in February. The members also performed a Christmas play called Christ- mas Funtime at the Meadow- brook and Mountaineer malls. Masquers ' members also are given a chance to teach others what they have learned. In Saturday A.M. Live Odessey of the Mind, they taught fourth grade children and assisted them with prop, design. Masquers also spon- 1 sored the Region III High! School Drama Festival and! helped with the lighting designij at the scholarship dance. This year ' s student trips! were to see The Hairy Ape ! at the Pittsburgh Public The- ater and The Dance Theater of Harlem at the Pittsburgh Ben- edum Center. 36 Masquers Left — Kelly Harris and Cathy O ' Dell dramatize a scene from Ag- nus of God.

Language, Literature and irc The Language and Litera- ture division encompasses li- brary science, foreign lan- guages, journalism and, of course, English courses. New insights for the depart- ment included new faculty and a more eventful calendar. Sharon Delong, assistant professor of English, was wel- comed in the fall. Events in- cluded a Wordsworth exhibit, poetry readings, and many other activities sponsored by the clubs in the division. The Alliance Francaise, with the International Educa- tion Committee, sponsored a fall reception for foreign stu- dents. Advisor Christiane Sweeney said that the group planned with the International Relations Club for a Christmas party with FSC ' s foreign stu- dents. During the first week of March, the group celebrated National Foreign Language Week. The students helped administer tests for the ATF National French Contest for high school students in March. They also helped with the West Virginia Foreign Lan- guage Teachers Conference. Officers were Melissa Pea- cock, president; Tim Tooth- man, vice- president; Heidi Earnest, secretary; and for- eign language instructor, Christiane Sweeney, advisor. The International Rela- tions Club with its 16 mem- bers met every first and third Thursday of each month. Dr. Ryan, advisor, said the purpose of the club was to help bring students together and share cultural exper- iences. International students were encouraged to join, so as to discuss with others their cul- tures while others aided them in academics. Officers of the club were Te- resa Baxter, president; Alieu Demba, vice president; Maria Santalucia, treasur er; and Lee Greenawalt, secretary. From labs to literature tests ■v jj ' English = work.

Rocky Gallo worked as cartoonist for the fall se- mester. With the theme A New Vi- sion the Mound staff used just that to design and write for the book. Each article written was an- gled to highlight something different or new within the sub- ject. Layouts were developed in various styles and formats to give the viewer something unique or different in each section. The editor-in-chief of the Mound was Sonya Miller, while Joyce Smith worked as her assistant editor. Other editors were Eddie Gennoy, people editor; Julie Plachta, assistant; Tonya Wil- helm, campus life editor; Todd Gillispie, sports editor; Bill Long, assistant; Joyce Smith, academics editor; Stinamay Anderson, organizations edi- tor; and Dean Skinner, adver- tising manager.

Education Visions of a new building on campus that will house both the education and health careers divisions contributed to a positive outlook on the future of the education program at Fairmont State College. Initial planning has been completed, funding has been appro- priated and various sites are being considered for the new building. Completion is probably three to five years away, ac- cording to Dr. Harry Hadley, dean of teacher education. The education program is still in transition as the old state requirements are slowly being replaced by Policy 5100 testing. Probably two-thirds of our students are in the new program while one-third remain in the old, said Dr. Hadley. Students are now tested before entering the program by the Pre-Professional Skills Test ACT Comp. and at the completion by the National Evaluation Systems Test. An increased enrollment in ED 200, the initial course for edu- catio n students, is an important measurement of student trends, according to Dr. Hadley. FSC ranks behind only the two universi- ties with graduates in teaching fields. Teacher ed. is in transition, but alive and well at Fairmont, according to the dean. A national honor society in education, Kappa Delta Pi, was established at Fairmont State College on January 13, 1931. Having at present approximately 50 active members, the Beta Omega chapter of Kappa Delta Pi is one of the earlier chapters established in the United States. The society elects to membership those who exhibit the ideals of scholarship, high personal standards and promise in teaching and allied professions. To be considered a candidate for membership, students must be majoring in education, have completed 50 hours or more and have a grade point average of 3.0 or above. Members are expected to maintain the ideals of the society, to strive to extend its influence and to make the work of the society a major interest. The chapter assists the education division with programs and committees and various other activities. Beta Omega also sponsors an Outstanding Secondary Education Award at the annual Awards Banquet each spring. High academic achieve- ment, a commitment to education and high personal standards are the basic principles of Kappa Delta Pi. This society encour- ages improvement in teacher preparation, distinction in achievement and contributions to education. 42 Education Education 43 . . . ____ __ FUTURE SECRETARIES ASSOCIATION — Back row — Lisa Nich- olson, Stephanie Ward, Patty Hughes, Dorothy Coffindaffer, advi- sor.

Commerce The Future Secretaries Association is open to any stu- dent enrolled in a business major. The group meets monthly and usually features a speak- er who works in the secretarial field. One of the guests this year was make-up consultant Barbara Steiding, who spoke to the organization on the im- portance of having a profes- sional appearance. We try to have as many guest speakers as possible to talk with the students about their actual experiences in the field, said Dorothy Coffin- daffer, advisor for the group. We ' ve had speakers lecture on everything from business ethics to self-defense. S.A.M., the society for the Ad- vancement of Management, is open to any major in the Com- merce Division. According to president Greg Myers, All a potential member has to do is attend monthly meetings and pay semester dues. The organization has had several guest speakers at- tend their meetings this past semester to share exper- iences in the field of manage- ment with the group ' s mem- bers. Don Hollen, former presi- dent of Monogahela Power, spoke to the group about area development and how to ob- tain outside companies for the Marion County area. James J. Larosa, president of Larosa Fuel, discussed methods of managing a small fuel company. Finally, John Rapp, man- ager of Krogers, spoke about retail management to round out the semester.

Social Science 46 Social Science The Social Science division attempted to achieve two goals: one, to improve the quality of teaching in order to have students better educat- ed; and, two, to revise curricu- lum offerings in order to meet the demand of the students in a changing society. A new program under the sociology department was an- nounced. Human service in its first year has 48 students. The degree will provide students after they graduate with spe- cial opportunities to work in government and private orga- nizations. A number of the faculty dur- ing this academic year have actively participated in pro- fessional meetings and work- shops which made important contributions toward faculty development and improved teaching measurers. The Army ROTC program reached new heights in enroll- ment with over 100 students. ROTC became a quality orga- nization for students who wanted to explore what was available to them as Army offi- cers. ROTC proved beneficial to students and in turn they told other students, a classic case of building by positive word of mouth. While basic course stu- dents were tyring out the pro- gram, the advanced students got down to the serious busi- ness of preparing themselves to be part-time or full-time commisioned officers of the future. Nine advanced course stu- dents traveled to Lexington, Kent, and competed in the Ranger Challenge Competi- tion, which was comprised of nine other college ROTC pro- grams. The team placed seventh overall with very high scores in the generade throw and weapons assembly. Pi Gamma Mu, the social science honorary was an ex- cellent reference to academic achievement while in college. Joanne Van Horn, the advis- er and associate professor of history, said, The group of mostly seniors who were in- ducted this year gave us a larger group than normal. To achieve membership one had to have at least 20 hours in the social science area, a 3.0 GPA over all and at least a 3.2 GPA in criminal justice ma- jors.

Social Science 47 Math and Science Although the Science and Math division has maintained basically the same curriculum over the past year, new pre- requisites were added. We want all of our math students to be better pre- pared for the college level math courses, said Dr. Wil- liam Ruoff, division chairman. As a result students are re- quired to score a minimum of 15 on the math section of their ACT test. If they don ' t, a reme- dial or learning skills course must then be taken. This will give the students a chance at passing the col- lege entry level classes, said Dr. Ruoff. To benefit the students there has also been an in- crease in the use of personal computers in both the labora- tory and classrooms. A de- vice, allowing a computer to be connected to an overhead projector, was purchased to permit a whole class to view software from just one com- puter. The division added a few electives for biology majors. One is an introduction to re- search, which will teach stu- dents to begin and carry through research projects for graduate school. In discussion of plans forthe future, Dr. Ruoff commented, The lack of funding and the poor state economy pose a threat to FSC as well as all colleges and universities. We just hope to hold our own through the cutbacks; then we can think about expansion. Beta Beta Beta is dedi- cated to improving the under- standing and appreciation of biological studies. Tri Beta is also dedicated to the exten- sion of boundaries through scientific research of human knowledge. Membership is for second semester sophomore biology majors maintaining a straight B average or higher. There are no introductory biology permit- ted. Membership is approxi- mately 11, who meet four times a semester. Tri Beta is directly related to biology with a biology center. Different pro- grams are sponsored each se- mester. Various seminars and guest speakers are sponsored each semester. The club also spon- sors a baseball or softball competition with the American Chemical Society. Group meetings are called to take care of club business or to elect officers. Tri Beta was founded in 1922 by Dr. Frank G. Brooks and a group of his students at Oklahoma City University. The idea spread quickly, and by 1925 the society was a nation- al organization. In 1930, BIOS, the society journal began pub- lication. Beta Beta Beta has been at FSC for over 20 years. Ac- cording to Dr. Pritchett, head of the organization, Tri Beta was already active when he came to FSC. Officers were: Jamie Kosiki, president; Mitch Sokolosky, vice- president; Bonita Setser, secretary; Fawn Cheneit, his- torian. When working alone, these two students find chemistry lab becomes even harder. EPSILON PI TAU — Back row — M. Dunigan, T. Scott, T. Leyh, T. Morris, H. Cather, Dr. W. Griscom, W. Phillips, and J.

The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) cre- ated a vehicle for the students to socialize and participate in the activities of the club. Officers were William Skid- more, president; Greg Dickey, vice president; Ronald McGraw, treasurer; and Gary Zickefoose, adviser. One of the main projects that students participated was the building of a concrete canoe and the development of a concrete mix that is lighter, yet stronger. Two canoes were built this year, one being segmental. We have won awards two out of three years, stated technology professer John Pheasant, and the students are deeping positive attitudes for upcom- ing competitions. In the home economics de- partment, many projects and events were completed. The Home Economics Club par- ticipated in the Activities Fair and attends the State Home Economics Conference during the spring semester. Our or- ganization is small, but each individual has given us much, while also gaining much from us, adviser Judith Radcliffe said. The new fashion merchan- dising department successful- ly completed its first year. These students had the ad- vantage to work with an in- the-classroom display win- dow with mannequins. Club officers were Diann Zetty, president; Lisa Knutti, vice president; Robin Thomas, secretary treasurer. The Graphic Communica- tions Association (GCA) is advised by Larry Lauffer, as- sistant professor of graphic communications techny. GCA brought in speakers, took part in the Technology Awards Banquet and also worked on a format for a news- letter to begin next fall. Officers included: Bill Shreve, president; Kerry Hutchinson, vice president; Sheri Liston, treasurer; and Joyce Smith, secretary.

This year the club was made up of 22 members, who, along with advisors Robert and Ed- ward Strogen, met twice a month. The Engineering Techno- logical Society ' s purpose was to better acquaint students with this field and also with certified engineering techni- cians. This group is affiliated with the American Society of Certified Engineering Tech- nologists (ASCET). Most of the members are in technology fields, but anyone interested may join. The National Computer Graphics Association (NCGA) was an organization designed to help members keep up to date on the ever- changing computer graphics industry and also to keep them in contact with professional leaders in the field. FSC has the only chapter in the area. The members are comprised not only of area professionals but also stu- dents, making the FSC chap- ter one of the few student chapters. This NCGA is the second largest group after Brigham Young University ' s chapter. The NCGA at FSC was offi- cially recognized in 1985. Members switched to NCG 1 ! after cancelling with t he I American Institute of Desigri and Drafting (AIDD), wherl they felt they were not learnincj enough. The group created comput erized generated calendars tc raise funds to attend the na tional conference. The Institute of Electrica and Electronics Engineer; (IEET) was set up to furthei the education of computer sci ence or electronic majors. The club sponsored trip;, and lectures on campus. The trips were to C and P Tele phone Company in Fairmon and the Department of Energ; in Morgantown. Officers were Kevin Carpen ter, chairman; Glenn Davisf secretary. The American Institute o Architecture Students wai set up to expand exposure tci architecture through fieh trips, design contests and as sociation with the state Soci ety of Architects. They participated in poste design contests, at Morgan town ' s Erickson Alumni Cente (designed by Michael Graves and Washington, D.C. for ail extended trip.

The Global Crisis Aware- ness Organization, created in 1987, increased students ' awareness of global crisis: hunger, poverty, arms race, population growth, environ- ment, and war and violence in different parts of the world. The theme of the club was based on justice. Alieu Demba, junior eco- nomics major, explained , The way we work is to invite guests to speak on the various topics, then have a meeting of our own and attempt to draw the most effective conclusions that could lead to positive changes. Another new organization, Disciples of Christ, began this year under the direction of the Rev. Vance Ross. Mem- bers met to study, share ex- periences and reflect on bibli- cal topics. An older organization, Cir- cle K, concerned itself with reaching out in the community. Members helped out with the Marion County Special Olym- pics and made regular visits to Kiwanis meetings this year. Dr. Raymond Richardson, ad- viser for the group, added that Circle K members hoped to continue helping with the Spe- cial Olympics, and traveled to area high schools to speak at Key Clubs and promote the college organization. The Fellowship of Chris- tian Athletes (FCA), a reli-JI gious organization, met week-; ly. It changed from an athlete-; centered group, to one accepting students from all majors. The purpose of FCA, ' according to president Tom Chaysler, was to get togeth- er and study the Bible, to learn from each person ' s exper-! iences, and to help each other! adjust in relation to Christian: beliefs and teachings. FCAi sponsored camping trips, hik- ing, water rafting and commu- nity services. Existing for 15 years, the i FSC Chess Association met weekly to promote an intellec- tual activity on campus. Be- sides winning the college Chess Tournament, the club members were winners of the 1987 College Bowl. The International Foreign F lations Club welcomes ne comers.

The purpose of BSU, according to president Todd Twyman, is to increase black awareness in the college and to help establish a realization of events that are significant to black history. The Rev. Richard Bowyer, BSU adviser, said that this year was the first time Martin Luther King Jr. Day was cele- brated on campus, and that he hoped to see the tradition con- tinue in the years to come. The BSU also celebrated black history week and sponsored speakers on social issues to come on campus. The Soccer Club, now two years old, met only in the fall and spring during warm weath- er. With 25 members active, the club was also attended by people from the community. Carter Grocott, adviser to the club, commented that Age groups from 8 to 40 (males and females) all participated in the club ' s activities. Founder and president of the organization, Alieu Demba, said, The Soccer Club exists to give students the opportunity to participate and learn about the game. Jay Mullenax, vice presi- dent of the club, said, The Soccer Club is the only organi- zation that provides open ac- tivities on weekends during the seasons it operates. The Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship (IVCF) has been a campus organization for at least 20 years. Its 15 members, from a vari- ety of majors, provides mean- ingful Christian fellowship to all interested students. The hope of the organization was to provide its members with the opportunity to grow in the faith and knowledge of Jesus Christ. The IVCF sponsored a spring banquet and a 10-week Bible study in the summer. Melissa Peacock enjoys a luncheon sponsored by the Alliance Franchise organiza- tion.

Sigma Pi ' s accomplished many outstand- ing tasks this year. Under the leadership of their adviser, Jean Ward, the fraternity won the scholarship cup 1 1 semesters in a row. Athletically, the Gamma Epsi- lon chapter sponsored an an- nual basketball tournament in April; and for the past three years, they captured the championship title of their An- nual Invitational Softball Tour- nament held in Kentucky. Their community service in- cluded: helping with United Way, Special Olympics and Stepping Stone. Karl McCul- lough felt that we (Sigma Pi as a group have taken commu- nity service and fraternity ac- tivities more seriously and worked harder at making them better. This year Alieu Demba, a member of Sigma Pi, was elected as student body presi- dent. Ron Ridgeway, president, said, It seems we have bond- ed together more as a group and strived to reach better academic standards. Tau Kappa Epsilon had the largest number of active chap- ters of any college social fra- ternity. The Theta Delta chap- ter strove to develop person- ality, encourage leadership and enhance loyalty. This year ' s members donat- ed much time to campus fund raisers and scholarship drives. TKEs also volunteered their talents to the Salvation Army, Easter Seals and the United Way. Established on campus in 1960, Tau Kappa Epsilon con- tinued a winning tradition this year by receiving the Presi- dent ' s Cup for their service to the community, and became overall intramural champs. Besides participating in the Jaycees Haunted House, at Middletown Mall, the chapter assisted in project Image. Vincenzo Libonati feels that This year TKE has grown in strength and numbers. We are now 70 members strong. We also have active alumni par- ticipation in extra-curricular activities. Theta Xi. established in 1 1945, at FSC, is a fraternity on the move. Scott Hunsinger president, enthusiastically! agrees, Theta Xi has turned the corner in becoming a major fraternal force to be noticed on campus. We (Theta Xi) have proven through our ac- tivities and members that we are just as good or better than other fraternal organizations at Fairmont State and nation- wide. Theta Xis sponsored a Safe House in October for the chil- dren of Fairmont, a Senior Citi- zen ' s Dinner in December, and supported their National Phil- anthropy (multiple sclerosis). Becoming champions in swimming during this year ' s in- tramurals, Scott Hunsinger set an intramural record in the 50 yd backstroke.

All the sororities shared in that they sponsored spring formals, Holly Balls, faculty teas, fund-raising drives, Greek Week, and alum- ni receptions. Delta Zeta, installed on the FSC campus in 1956, had many traditions of its own. Members participated in intra- murals, Miss FSC pagent, Col- lege Quiz Bowl and the Activi- ties Fair. Members adopted families or children for Christ- mas and Thanksgiving and participated in State Day. In 1986-87, the Epsilon lota chapter received an award for Most Improved Chapter. Missy Cioni, president, stat- ed The Delta Zetas have im- proved tremendously in quan- tity and quality. We have bond- ed together and accomplished many tasks on and off campus. Phi Mu, the Beta Chi chap- ter, participated in a Parent Daughter Banquet, Christmas dinner, and Faculty Chil- dren ' s Easter Egg Hunt this year. The Phi Mus captured the champion slot in intramural volleyba ll last semester. Beth Beer summed up her ideas about (Phi Mu) the orga- nization she belongs to by saying, When I first pledged Phi Mu, we were only 5 mem- bers strong. In just one year, we have moved up to 18 mem- bers. There was a lot of ex- citement in the sorority! Lastly, Sigma Sigma Sigma had the distinction of being the first national sorority on campus. From 1930, until now, the Alpha Kappa chapter par- ticipated in many activities. This year their highlight was Extravaganza — A Fashion Show. The Tri Sigmas adopt- ed grandparents at Wishing Well Nursing Home and assist- ed with the playroom at Fair- mont General Hospital. They serve the community by assisting the National Can- cer Society and many other volunteer organizations. Athletically, members cap- tured first place in overall in- tramurals.

Keep making ground The women ' s volleyball team captured a second place finish in the WVIAC tour- nament after upsetting Alderson-Broad- dus in the semi-final match, completing a 16-21 overall record. The Lady Falcons defeated A-B 15-13, 4-15, 15-6 and advanced to the finals against Concord. After losing the first two games to Concord 15-10, 15-4, the la- dies came back to win the next two 15- 10, 15-13 and tie the contest at two a piece. In the fifth and final game, Concord won 15-1 1, claiming the conference title. We were confident we could come back against Concord, Traci Rowe said. We knew we could do it. Rowe was named the tournament MVP for her efforts along with being named to the all-confer- ence team. Lori Rodgers and Sally Lam- bert were also named to the all-confer- ence squad. Rowe is quick to admit the tournament showing was a team effort. I was sur- prised I won the MVP award, but it wasn ' t me; we worked together as a team, she said. We need six players out there to win. 1988 Women ' s Volleyball team: Sally Lambert, Penny Wagner, Tracy Rowe, Martha Ganoe (sec- ond row) Kim Wiggins, statistician; Angela Watts, Wendy Wells, Leslie Wilfong, Louise Michael, Lori Rodgers, T.

You don ' t have to be 6-4 and 225 pounds to be suc- cessful in our sport; you just have to train hard and hopefully it works out, said ju- nior Jeff Dodrill. Dodrill took up the sport of cross coun- try his junior year in high school because I always liked athletics but was too small to play football or other games that were dominated by people bigger than me. I found running to be something I was good at and was a fun sport at the same time. Now Dodrill anchors down the No. 4 position on the Fairmont State cross country team. The FSC squad began practice under the hot August sun, running around 10 miles a day preparing for the toughest schedule the Falcons have seen in many years. Our first two matches were against Pa. schools which usually are a little better than WVIAC schools, said Dodrill. The Falcons traveled to the Indi- ana, Pa., meet where they were blown away. This made us sit back and say to ourselves that we had better buckle down, and in the end I think these poor performances early were a plus for us, said Dodrill. With four runners returning from the previous year and three new thinclads on this year ' s team, the FSC squad went out in hopes of improving their fourth place showing of a year ago. Running well and holding onto a second place standing in the conference, the Fal- cons went into the only home meet of the season, with the hopes of capturing their first win of the year. This wasn ' t the case. Running one of their worst meets, the Fal- cons came in fifth out of a field of six teams.

Everyone ran their best meet of the season at the conference, but we still came in fourth, said Dodrill of the disap- pointing fourth place showing, but the season was still considered a success because of the best times ever. Sports 65 After a slow start Falcons come on strong in the end Some people wait their whole lives for that one shot at capturing a champion- ship trophy. For Tom Sloan, offensive tackle, his shot has come many times but he was unable to grasp the final prize. This year was no different. Going into the 1987 campaign, the Fal- con football team was picked as the heavy favorite to win the conference title. Instead, the season proved to be one of numerous ups and downs that left the team wondering just what went wrong. The Falcons seemed to prove their crit- ics right in the opening game of the sea- son defeating Clarion State at Rosier Field. But the next week proved different- ly for the Fighting Falcon squad. After the Clarion State win, the Falcons took their 1 -0 mark into one of the biggest games in FSC history. Carson-Newman, the defending NAIA national champions and No. 1 in the nation, traveled to Fair- mont to take on the No. 18 ranked FSC squad. We worked on this game from the end of last year, said Sloan. In some ways we were more dedicated to this game than to the season itself. The score went back and forth with the Fal- cons holding onto the 21-14 lead at one time. Although the lead was short lived, C-N had to wonder what they were doing in the middle of Fairmont, W.Va., in a driv- ing rainstorm, playing a team that looked like a junior high team compared to their size. But in the end, Carson-Newman proved to Fairmont why it has been the dominant team in the country the past several years. At the end of the game we knew we could have won, but we were glad we made them earn the win, said Sloan. After the C-N loss the Falcons slid to No. 23 in the NAIA poll and were forced to face another Top 25 team from Concord. Poor consistence and blown assignments led to the Falcons ' second loss in as many weeks. After the loss to Concord we had to sit down and realize what had happened, said Sloan. We were now 1- 2 and still had a lot of tough games left. The next week took the struggling Fal- cons to Institute, where once again the team met up with one of the best squads in the nation. FSC led the game the whole way, putting a scare into the hearts of the West Virginia State fans, but with only 63 ticks left on the clock the Falcons fell to defeat. Shouting out orders to his troops, junior quarter- back Tom Morrone attempts to lead his team downfield. 66 In some ways we were more dedicated to this game (Carson- Newman) than to the season it- self.

They didn ' t get first downs and didn ' t win. The next game came and the Falcons finally got back on track by handing a sound West Virginia Tech squad a 21-15 setback. A solid running game mixed with 170 yards through the air enabled the FSC squad to better their mark to 2-3. The Falcon offense brought out a new look with the team coming out into an I- formation instead of the usual Wing-T alignment. The offense seemed to re- spond and turned their lack-luster perfor- mances of the past weeks behind them. FSC was back at home the next week to take on the Pioneers of Glenville State. The Falcons erupted with 27 third quarter points to down their conference foe and better their mark to 3-3 overall and 2-2 in the WVIAC. After the Glenville win we were pretty confident and felt we could salvage a successful season, said Slone.

In the past, the Hilltoppers proved to be less than a challenge for the former FSC squads. This year was different. The coach told us going into the game that they were tough, said Slone. When the game started we knew they were right.

A dormant Falcon offense of a week ago came out on fire to lead the Salem squad by a 44-0 mark at halftime. Scoring seven out of the eight times they had the ball the first half, the Falcons rolled up 508 yards in total of- fense. All- American receiver Mike Ros- coe had one of his brightest days of the season with 10 catches for 103 yards on the day. Fairmont State overcame a 15-point deficit and scored 21 third quarter points the next week in a thrilling 42-36 victory over St. Joseph ' s of Indiana. The win seemed to sum up the whole season with the team starting out slow but managing to come on in the end to capture a re- spectable showing. The Fighting Falcons finished the sea- son with a 7-3 mark after West Virginia State was forced to forfeit all their games due to a ruling handed down by the NAIA. We could ' ve won a couple more games than we did, but it just wasn ' t in the cards, Slone said. Well, maybe next year.

Finish second in WVIAC The Fairmont State golf team once again enjoyed another fine season while under the guidance of Coach Stan Groves. Along with capturing the top spot in two regular season matches, the team went on to make impressive showings in the various regional events. One of the reasons the linksters en- joyed such success was due to the con- sistently fine play of Frank Oliveto, one of the squad ' s two seniors. Oliveto wasn ' t new to the tournament scene. He held down a spot on the Falcons ' top five ev- ery season while at FSC, but 1988 proved to be his finest. During the course of the season Oliveto captured medalist honors at the Glenville Invitational while placing his name to many all-tournament teams. Winning the Glenville tournament was great, but it made me even happier when we won the tournament overall; then I knew we were on our way, he said. Oliveto proceded to lead his team to victory the following week at the West Liberty Invitational. The squad shot one of its finest rounds ever on the tough Spei- del course which proved to bring many of the WVIAC conference foes to their knees. After the second win we really began thinking that we could win a lot of tournaments, said Oliveto. After a week layoff the FSC team trav- eled to the Wright Invitational where their happiness came to an abrupt stop. A very average finish proved to be the starting point of the Falcons ' winless ways. The squad went on to post impressive second and third place finishes, finishes that oth- er teams would be proud of. We started slacking off in the end. We were happy with our placing, but it wasn ' t the same as winning. It was like the wheels fell off at the wrong time, Oliveto said. The Falcon golfers went on to capture second place finishes in the Northern Re- gional and Central Regional tournaments. Performing one of their numerous routines, Deb- bie Radcliff goes high in the air as the others finish the cheer. 72 Falcon Cheerleaders Capture WVIAC top honors During his senior year in high school he was voted as the person with the most school spirit, but Mark Bond never ex- pected to go on to college and become a cheerleader. A friend asked me to tryout, said Bond. I found the skills to be learned a real challenge, but it really interested me. So I decided to tryout. During his first season, he spent much time and effort learning double stunts, gymnastics and proper arm motions. This hard work paid off in the end when it came time for the WVIAC tournament competi- tion for which he was chosen as a mem- ber of the 10 member All- Conference squad. This year the FSC cheerleading squad started the year off with pizazz. The squad attended camp in August and won two All-American National (NCA) Awards. It also had two members, Candice Lane- tot along with Bond, named as All-Ameri- can cheerleaders. Bond remarked, We felt the only way to become champions was to pull togeth- er and work as a team.

Brian Tristani looked as though the season may have been headed for disaster. The players then rallied to win four of the last five, and the season had ended almost as well as it began. One of our high points was when we beat Alderson-Broaddus, said Brian Tristani. They were chosen the team to beat in the conference, and we beat them on their home floor early in the season. The win over A-B, 104-99, was the sixth in a row to start out the season. The win streak was halted at nine with a 10-point loss to Central State University, 82-72. We accomplished pretty much what we wanted to in the regular season, Tristani said. We lost some games we should have won, but I ' m satisfied with what we did in the regular season. The hard work of the players was re- warded with the announcement of the all- conference team. Tristani was selected for the first-team all-WVIAC, after he was named to the second team last year.

Find success at season ' s end The 1987-88 women ' s basketball sea- son appeared to be one of growth and transition as the Lady Falcons struggled through a schedule that had the adverse effects of a roller coaster ride with seem- ingly no explanation for occurrence. Fairmont came into this season with one of the top recruiting classes in recent years. However, for the few upperclass- men remaining, it was an experience too unfamiliar for them. Senior Vonda Shaw, the team ' s leader and standout performer for the past few seasons, attributed most of the reason for the lackluster perfor- mance of the team this year to inexperi- ence and an absence of team continuity and adjustment. We have a lot of freshmen on this team, with only three upperclassmen hav- ing experience. Our freshmen had trouble trying to adjust to our system, but we have a lot of talent and improved play from the whole team. Shaw, recruited out of high school by former women ' s and current men ' s bas- ketball coach Joe Lambiotte, passed up opportunities to play for larger institu- tions, such as UCLA, Ohio State and New Mexico, to stay closer to home. Fighting for the ball, Teresa Wilson struggles to gain control while Jackie Burks looks on in the background. 80 nowing her All-Conference and Academic All- merican form, Vonda Shaw pulls up to take a mper from the top of the key. Coach Lambiotte was the main rea- son for my coming to Fairmont State. He stressed academics as well as athletics as a reason to come here. He gave me a good look at the community to show that this was a good place to come for an education. He showed interest in you as a person and that attracted me to FSC over the larqer schools. Making the adjustment from high school to college was the most difficult thing for Shaw to overcome when she be- gan her career in 1985. Her freshman year, she had to play behind the seniors on the squad and contribute to the team in an unfamiliar way as a back-up player, a role she was not accustomed to during her high school career. With the appointment of Lambiotte to coach the men ' s team came a new sys- tem and new adjustment when Jim Brink- man replaced him as the women ' s coach. Shaw felt that it was not only hard on him, but also hard on the team to make the transition to the new program. But Coach Brinkman was supportive and flexible in allowing his players to enhance their type of game. Coach Brinkman was very supportive and complimentary on the floor. He didn ' t get down on you when things went bad. Instead, he stayed positive and stressed having fun. You always expect the unex- pected with him.

At the beginning of the season, we played well but didn ' t win. Coming back after Christmas, we had a new attitude and started coming together as a group. Fairmont hit one point at mid-season of eight straight losses, each of which was by less than a five-point margin. But the Lady Cagers were able to finish the regu- lar season strong, giving them a good seeding for the conference tournament. It was a different atmosphere in the tournament. We were down early and struggled through the first half. It was de- moralizing for the young players, but they showed strong character in fighting back against a good team. Vonda Shaw ended her basketball ca- reer at Fairmont State by establishing a countless number of records, the ones that stand out being the league ' s scoring leader, second on the all-time scoring list and being named the West Virginia Con- ference Player of the Year. It was a fun season, even though it was the first losing season I had in my career at FSC. No one likes to lose, but it didn ' t matter to us if we won or lost. We were having fun and grew as a team over the course of the year. I learned a lot more and grew as a person from my ex- periences over the years because of the closeness established here at Fairmont State between coaches and players alike.

Charleston finished third behind the Fal- cons in the WVIAC tournament in 1988. The netters started out the season with three straight wins in the conference be- fore the loss to Shepherd. The Biggest win of the three was a 7-2 decision over Charleston. The Golden Eagles returned all but one player from the previous year ' s championship team. The ability of the players to consistent- ly win at the No. 4, 5 and 6 singles posi- tions was another reason for the Falcons ' success. Paul Cooper, Mike Haugh, and Donnie Retton made the team strong from top to bottom, while most teams are usu- ally weaker at either the first three or last three singles positions.

However, that was not enough to overtake Shepherd, but good enough for a second place finish. Two players qualified for the national tournament in Kansas City as representa- tives of District 28 with the No. 1 doubles title. Vicki Preston and Cathy Caldwell ad- vanced to the nationals by defeating West Virginia Wesleyan ' s No. 1 doubles team 7-6 (7-1), 6-2. Caldwell also cap- tured a conference title at No. 2 singles, but lost in the finals to a Wesleyan oppo- nent. Wesleyan is no longer in the WVIAC and not eligible for conference titles, but competed in the tournament to qualify players for the national tournament. Marsha Thompson claimed the No. 3 singles title, but also lost to a Wesleyan opponent in the finals. She then teamed up with Kamela Meikle for the Falcons ' fourth conference title, and went on to de- feat Wesleyan ' s No. 2 doubles team. The No. 2 doubles team, however, does not advance to the nationals. The Lady Falcons ' four conference champions and 13 team points were two points short of a conference title behind Shepherd, who claimed only two champi- ons in the tournament. We felt that we had the best team since we beat Shep- herd twice through the season, but the draw hurt us, Preston said. Five of the top six players will return for the 1988 season as the Lady Falcons plan to again battle for the conference championship. Meikle, the No. 4 singles player, is lost to graduation. Our team goal for next year is to win the conference championship, Preston said. 88 Falcon Swimmers Taking a break from practice, Cyndy Wolk catches her breath before moving on.

Among the best in the nation The Fairmont State swimming team has proved itself to be among the best in the nation for the past 10 years. This year was no exception. The squad began practice in the fall semester and by the time March came the team had produced no less than 10 All Americas and placed both teams among top 20 swim teams in the nation. For the second time in three years Bill Cushing proved himself to be the elite div- er in the nation at the NAIA level by cap- turing top honors at the national meet. Cushing won the title at the three meter board while at the same time placing among the top at the one meter dive. Jeremy Pecora, who had his finest sea- son ever since becoming a Falcon, John Simone and Scott Thorpe all captured All America honors in their respective events. Pecora also managed to make the Academic All America squad. Karen Petko was the lone woman on this past year ' s women ' s team to capture All America honors. Petko set three varsi- ty records during the course of the sea- son. Scott Baniff and Ed Gordon captured honorable mention All America honors while Connie Dress, Melissa Ledford and Cyndy Wolk placed their names on the honorable mention scroll also. Overall, the women ' s team placed fif- teenth overall, the seventh straight year it has been nationally ranked. The men ' s team captured an eighth place showing while under the reign of Coach Steve Ma- haney, who has captured the prestigious title of NAIA Coach of the Year once dur- ing his tenure at FSC. Sports 89 Baseball Falcons finish season on good note The Falcon baseball team found the right chemistry through the second half of the schedule with wins in 12 of the last 14 games. The Falcons compiled an overall record of 20-19 and a 12-9 conference mark to qualify for the WVIAC tournament. The season, however, came to an end with a loss in the first round of the play- offs to Alderson and Broaddus 7-6. The loss ended a hot streak that made up for a slow start, in which the Falcons lost eight of the first 10. The two losses in the final weeks of the season came in the second game of dou- ble headers. The Falcons won the first game against West Virginia State 11-8, but fell to defeat in the second 12-5. FSC picked up a victory over A-B 5-3 in the first game, but lost by the same score in the second. Included in the 19 losses are a few tough non-conference battles against such teams as NCAA powerhouse Mariet- ta and Point Park, one of the top NAIA teams. The Falcons managed to score six runs against Marietta, but lost 10- 6. Point Park defeated Fairmont State 7-1 in the first game of a double header. Point Park had difficulty in winning the second, how- ever, with an 8-7 victory. The 20-19 season was the first 20 win season for second year coach Ron Whit- ing. Randy Toth, a transfer from West Vir- ginia University in 1983, made large con- tributions to the 20 win season. Toth set the FSC career home run record with 24, and single season records for hits with 52, runs scored, 41, and home runs with 10 during his college career. I ' ve set four single season records the four years I ' ve played, but I never thought much about the records, Toth said. After leaving WVU, he was given the incentive to try out for Fairmont State by former head coach Kupets. While playing in a summer league in Fayette County, Pa., Kupets saw Toth play and told him that he would have a chance to start as a fresh- man.

During the past several years participation has increased. This year was no different with participation up an astounding 35 per- cent. The program, which is headed by Miss Jean Ward, offers students a vast amount of sports. Teams vie for the title of overall champions, which is awarded at the end of the school year. The men are divided into three sepa- rate categories: Fraternity division, Club- Dorm division and Group division. The women are placed into two groups: Soror- ity and Group divisions. Tau Kappa Epsilon captured the men ' s overall championship with the fraternity winning 14 championships during the school year. TKE finished the year with 1,810 total points. Garden Lanes B fol- lowed with 1,365 points and Group IV placed a respectable third with 727 total points. In the women ' s division Morrow Hall came in first with 1,965. Sigma Sigma took second with 960. Morrow Hall cap- tured 1 1 total championships during the school year. Showing the true meaning of intramurals, two participants put out their hands to congratulate each other. Turning the corner for a big gain, Mike Coss runs up field in an intramural football game. Sports 95 Hall of Fame honors Retton; 25th Letterman ' s Banquet has nationally acclaimed speaker I want to give thanks first of all to my God who gave me the gift, said former bas- ketball coach Joseph ' Jo Jo ' Retton at the 42nd annual Victory Awards Dinner in May as he was inducted into the West Virginia State Sports Hall of Fame. I was so fortunate at Fairmont State College to have fine athletes, said Ret- ton, whose Falcons won 478 games and lost only 95 during his 19-year coaching tenure. The thing that makes me feel great about an athlete is that I don ' t care what the ability is, just be a 100-per- center. I ' d say throughout the years the people who played for me did that. They were those 100-percenters. Coach Retton is a 100-percenter, too. He cares for the players ' futures beyond the basketball season by keeping an eye on their grades, absences and attitudes in each of their classes. When potential trouble arises, he calls them in to work out solutions. He believes that discipline in love is one of the most important as- pects in teaching and coaching. We try to teach them the team con- cept, he said. We want them to know that they are a part of something good, that it ' s ' We win ' or ' We lose, ' not I win ' or ' I lose. ' Coach Retton led the Falcons to the NAIA playoffs in Kabasas City 12 times, eight in a row from 1971-78. Four times they made the final four teams and finished as runner-up in 1968. He was named NAIA Coach of the Year in both 1969 and 1976, and the Associated Press Small College Coach of the Year in 1976. Accepting congratulations from the voice of the Mountaineers Jack Fleming, Joe Retton is all smiles before giving his acceptance speech. i N. 96 I don ' t care what the ability is, just be a 100- percenter. Joe Retton The 25th annual Letterman ' s Associ- ation banquet was held on April 23 at the college dining hall. Dick MacPherson, the 1987 national coach of the year who posted an 1 1-0-1 record as head football coach at Syracuse University, was guest speaker following the likes of such indi- viduals as Woody Hayes and Lou Holtz over the past few years. The yearly event honors the college ' s athletes. The winners of the Jasper H. Colebank Award were Vonda Shaw and Brian Tristani. This award is given to the senior, who during the course of his or her college career, has done the most to pro- mote the best interest of FSC athletics. Also honored was Ed Bryan who re- ceived the Eston K. Feaster Award. Bry- an, a four year letterman in football, main- tained a 3.53 grade point average whil e carrying a double major in psychology and criminal justice. Athletic director Collin Cameron pre- sided over this year ' s event. In true Retton form, Coach Joe Retton instructs his players in a way that made him one of the top college coaches in NAIA history. Anxiously awaiting his award, senior Brian Tris- tani relaxes before his moment in the spotlight.

People are what give FSC its NEW VISIONS. As you walk along the recently refurbished parking lot and the mini parks you can see students on their way to fulfill their dreams. Whether it be a short or long-term dream, Fairmont State College is a part of that dream. Short-term dreams can include What am I going to wear to the dance, I hope I ' ll pass the quiz that our professor sprung on us, or Should I go home this weekend or stay here for the party. Long-term dreams are more important. A long-term dream may be When I graduate, I want to work for the largest corporation in the U.S. and make an annual salary in of excess of $80,000, while others can be more down-to-earth, I just want to graduate and get a good job.

The biggest negative of the ear was Congress, making ;he Guaranteed Student Loan need-based. Unlike prior ears, students now had to demonstrate financial need, the total cost of tuition and books, account for any other financial aid, and any family contribution. The GSL would only pay the remainder, if any. Due to this new plan there was at least $5 million less borrowing in 1987, said Wil- liam Shaffer, financial aid di- rector. However, despite govern- ments attempts to reduce aid, every form of financial aid, but the GCL was held in tack. Some aid even received in- creases. Another positive was the fact that FSC ' s default rate — the number of students who don ' t pay back their loans — was less than 8%. It was lower than any other states ' , and lower than the nation ' s total default rate. Getting back to the nega- tives, there was the $50 in- crease for each full-time stu- dent and smaller increases for part-time students for the spring semester. These in- creases were made by the Board of Regents as a one- time surcharge for salary in- creases. Shaffer said that he didn ' t feel it was fair for students to pay for pay increases, in this way, and many faculty mem- bers agreed. The final negative in 1987 was that beginning in the fiscal year 1987, students must re- port, as taxable income, all funds left over from any grant, loan, scholarship or other form of aid after paying for tuition and books. Shaffer advised students to save all receipts from books and tuition, in case there is any question about costs. PEOPLE 101 TREND SETTERS Hey, Mom. Have you seen my favorite jeans? Do you mean the ones with the holes in the knees, the rip in the seam and bleach stains all over? Yeh, where are they? Well, dear, I threw them away. They were falling apart. SCREECH. You threw them away? How could you? That ' s like throwing away my first born. My life will never be the same. NEVER. Enjoying themselves after a football game, Lela Emge, Donald Carroll, Jonathan Gunter and Leslie Hoover show their school spirit by cheering on the Falcon football team. School spirit was a major focus of the 1987-88 semesters. Does this sound like you? Do you have a favorite item of clothing that your parents de- test? Most people do. The Mound staff surveyed many FSC students and asked them: What is your favorite item of clothing? I like my Levi ' s. They are the most comfortable jeans ever made. There ' s only one person who can strip my Le- vi ' s off me, said Natalie Sigler, junior music major. Levi ' s were the most popu- lar jeans in the survey. Wheth- er they be 501 ' s, 505 ' s zip, or button-fly, Levi ' s were the cur- rent rage. Other jeans that made the survey were Lees, Chic, Whipp, Guess, and Gabe spe- cials. I wear nothing but Lee ' s, stated Glenn Tacy, junior ele- mentary education major. Esther Diablo, freshman general studies, said, I like my Whipp jeans. They are the most comfortable jeans I ' ve ever had. 102 PEOPLE Gina L.

My favorite shoes are my $5 bargains with no strings, said Kim Earnick, junior ele- mentary education major. I like any shoe with a big SALE sign over them, stated Lloyd White, junior elementary education major. Reebok, Fila, British Knights, and Pony were also the favorites of many. When it came to selecting favorite shirts, brand names usually did not make a differ- ence. The standard T-shirt was a big favorite. Melody Hayes, sophomore accounting major, said, I like T-shirts with sayings on them, even the crude ones. I like sweat-shirts, said Malissa McWhorter, junior art major. I usually wear them in- side out for the casual look. Danny Main, sophomore business major, said, I like to wear my dad ' s old flannel shirts. They ' re old and worn out and have seen a lot of washings, but I would rather have one of them than to go out and buy a new one. So take a look around you. Do some people seem to be wearing the same outfit to death? Well, they ' ve probably found their favorite style, or they are just afraid mom will throw it in the trash while they ' re away from home. PEOPLE 105 LIFE IN THE FAST LANE You ' re walking down the street when suddenly you stop dead in your tracks. There be- fore your eyes, is the car of your dreams. You go over and look at it and wish it were your own. Then the owner, some rich older man, comes over, jumps in, and drives away. There you are left feeling stu- pid. Don ' t worry you ' re not alone. It has happened to just about everyone at one time or another. Not many have or can afford their dream cars. Those of you who have the car of your dreams, consider your- self blessed, because the rest of us can, for now anyway, only dream. Naturally, most students want some type of sports car, something flashy, something fast, something very expen- sive. I want a red Vector with a Panasonic stereo and Bose speakers and a brown leather interior, said sophomore business major Dan Modis- pauh. Sophomore elementary education major Terry VanDe- vender ' s dream car is a black Lamborghini with a sin- gle red pinstripe across the driver ' s side, turbo-hole rims, a nice stereo and a red crushed velour interior. However, some would rath- er have something a little less sporty and a bit more down to earth. Many Corvettes were seen around campus as were other types of sportscars including Fieros, Firebirds, Trans- ams, Z-28 ' s and many many others. 106 PEOPLE Susan Ford Jane Fullen Terri Gaston Kelly Gordon Lee Greenwalt Pamela Gumbert Dewayne Haddix Bryan Hamilton Jr. John Hamilton Melica Harless Jeffery Hart Geetha Harward Carrie Hatfield Vicki Haught Brian Hayes Judy Hebb Tonya Henderson Debora Hibbs Doris Higginbotham Teresa Higgins PEOPLE 107 Kimberly Hill Susan Hinzman Kelly Ann Holbert Kim Hooper James Howell II Cindy Hunter Sandra Inghram Kirk Jarvis Patricia Johnson Jennifer Kelly Diana Kendall Jeffery Kent Patricia Kincaid Vickie Lynn Kisner Marian Kittle Lisa Marie Knutti Jackie Koontz Janice Krum Vickie Landes Susan Lantz 108 PEOPLE DREAM ON, DREAM CAR LOVERS I want a Mercedes-Benz convertible with a complete leather interior and windshield wipers on the headlights, said senior biology major Son- dra Looman.

One FSC senior received his dream car as an early graduation present — senior music major Jeff Caplinger. I knew that my parents had planned to give me a new car for graduation but I didn ' t know what type of car. During Christmas break my dad and I went to look at cars, recalls Caplinger. He showed me a Pontiac 6000 and told me to take it for a test drive. When I got back, he told me that he had already bought it. I never expected anything that nice. It puts the car I had wanted to shame. Still some students would be happy to settle for a nice practical and inexpensive car of any kind, just as long as it promised to be better than the present cluncker. But until they can afford their dream machines, they will just have to do as their parents tell them — Keep dreaming. Dreams are free! The one thing that never goes out of style is the sports car and on FSC ' s campus during the spring semester several sports cars were seen. You and your roommate are busy studying and the hours fly by. Soon it ' s 9 p.m. You both realize that you are starv- ing. Neither of you has eaten and who has time to cook! So what do you want? Chinese? Japanese? Mexican? Nah. How about pizza? Yeh! According to a recent sur- vey, pizza is an overwhelming favorite with FSC students. At any hour, with a date or with friends, students can be found at many of the local pizza places. Some of the favorites are Papa ' s, Domino ' s, Mar- io ' s, and home of the party pack — Pizza Hut. My favorite food is a Pizza Hut pizza with everything ex- cept anchovies, said fresh- man pre-journalism major Mike Riley. I know it ' s pretty far to travel, but I like Scotto ' s Pizza at the mall, said Steve Nin- dle, freshman criminal justice major.

Forty dollars was also collected from the residents for poinset- tias which were donated to area senior citizens for Christ- mas. Another $99, which Mar- sha Coffman made into a mon- ey umbrella, was given to the custodia n. The dorm printed a four- page newsletter — a fun pa- per — which contained soap opera updates, advice to the lovelorn, fashion news and RA corner, featuring a different RA each month. The biggest event for resi- dents was the minors birthday party. There was a record number of minors at Morrow, a total of 30, each one waiting for her 18th birthday so that she would no longer have to sign in and out. The dorm had a big party for all of them, treat- ing them to cake and punch, and a gift. The girls have done a lot this year and they hope to have started some new tradi- tions, said Mrs. Floyd.

Jon Joseph Dodd, a mem- ber of a local band and a freshman accounting major, said, I like to play hard rock, but I listen to all types of mu- sic. The punk scene has also gained popularity, causing many students to do totally outrageous things, especially to their hair. It ' s a little bit of a fashion statement all rolled into one. Punks are like mod- ern day flower children. Then a slightly more mellow crowd simply enjoys the sounds of easy listening and regular radio music. They are followed by those who like to kick up their heels to good old country music. I like both kinds of music, said Brett Rich, sophomore business major, country and western. A few people have ears that follow the beat of a different drum. They like to hear classi- cal, jazz and even band music. The latest craze is human beat boxes.

Many taxpayers had filed their state returns incorrectly, so rumors of delays were sug- gested. According to Pam Steel- hammer, director of the tax- payers service division of the State Tax Department, the major mistake students were making on their state returns dealt with the $2,000 personal exemption allowance. Stu- dents who were claimed as dependents on their parents returns had to claim zero ex- emptions on their own federal and state returns. Some students, however, were still subtracting this $2000 exemption, which was not allowed. This year ' s federal returns also changed and many stu- dents were not quite sure where they stood. First of all, fulltime students were not exempt from filing. They were subject to the same filing re- qui rements as other taxpay- ers and had to file to receive funds. Students who reported fi- nancial aid had to use Form 1040. Only amounts used for tuition, books, and supplies were exempt. 118 PEOPLE Kara Michele Alt John Arnold III Michelle Baker Rhonda Baker Pamela Bartley Emory Bee Betty Bennett Susan Marie Bishoff Pamala Blaker Stephanie Bock Mark Bond Anita Bowser Mike Branson Catherine Sue Brown Kathleen Brown Sharon Brown Ada Catherine Browning Martha Bunner Melissa Burton Anna Marie Cain Jackie Regina Caldwell Leslie Casto Lori Cherry Susan Coleman Carrin Sue Collins Jeffery Collins Steve Copeland Timothy Cork Belinda Cottrill Michelle Cummins PEOPLE 119 Kelly Cunningham Tamara Dalek Bobby Davis Michelle Davy Dawn Dayutis Alieu Demba Tammi Dent Danielle Diehl Nancy Dooley Tracy Dunn Brad Earnest Beth Edwards Donna Ellison Melissa Evans Barbi Flynn Sherri Gifford Melissa Goff Natalie Goff Randy Goodwin Christine Gordon Edward Griffith Karissa Groves Shannon Halterman Kristy Hamrick Victoria Hamrick Terri Lynn Hathaway Anita Colleen Heflin Renee Hendershot Kevin Hess Kimberly Hickman 120 PEOPLE IN MEMORY FSC students were shocked and saddened by the sudden deaths of two of their classmates.

Another attraction to col- lege students is the crowd which frequences a certain establishment. I go to Joe ' s most of the time because that is where all my friends like to hang out, said Beth Julian, sophomore chemistry major. But just like anything else bars have a way of losing pop- ularity after a certain amount of time. I get bored and need a change of scenery after a while. There are three differ- ent bars I patron on different occasions, said Sherry Voz- niak, junior business major. No matter what the prefer- ence in the way of shaking those school blues, celebrat- ing that special occasion or just killing time, there is a place to hit the spot. 122 PEOPLE Donald Howard Gloria Huffman Beth Husk Kevin Jackson Lorie Jackson Frank Jenkins Keith Jenkins Jessica J olliffe Daris Kinty R.

' What is the favorite televi- sion station of FSC students? s it ABC? No. Is it Showtime? lo. Is it VH-1? No. Yes, that ' s ight — you guessed it; it ' s vltv Music Television. A recent survey distributed o FSC students ' revealed that nore students watched Mtv nan any other television sta- ion. The second choice was HBO and NBC was third. Students voiced their opin- ons about the survey by say- ng, I enjoy Mtv because it ' s light and I enjoy watching the videos, said Jeff Collins, ju- nior psychology major. Most students agreed with the sur- vey by saying that they found Mtv to be the remedy for wind- ing down after a stressfull day of classes. Other students disagreed with the survey by saying, I hate Mtv because it ' s mind numbing, said Mike Arm- stead, sophomore theatre ma- jor. Some students felt that Mtv was mindless and that they could use their spare time for more useful things. Some students said they enjoyed network television as much as pay cable. I like to watch the Cosby Show and other NBC shows that follow, said Sandra Poole, senior biology major. A few students said that they enjoyed more education- al stations such as PBS, the Discovery channel, and Life- time. Gary Keen, junior journal- ism major said, I often like to watch PBS because they have very interesting and educa- tional shows. Denise Fortney, senior sec- retary major, said, I like the Discovery Channel because I find it to be a nice relief from network television. Kevin Bunner, sophomore history major said, I like PBS because it gives you a variety of programs that you can not find on other networks, such as British comedies.

Hardway resigned in June, leaving the educational system after serving in it for 38 years. After serving 15 years as president of Fairmont State College, Dr. Wendell G. Hard- way retired at the end of June and indicated that he had no plans for any professional role in the West Virginia education- al system. Hardway was appointed president on July 1, 1973, after serving as president of Bluefield State College. He has witnessed growth at FSC that has been steady, not just in numbers of students, but also in facilities. The key to this growth has been offering academic programs that the students needed and want- ed, he said. Hardway served in the state ' s educational system for 38 years, beginning his career as a teacher at Troy High School in Gilmer County. Five years later he taught in the di- visions of science and educa- tion at Glenville State College for a total of 1 1 years. He served as chairman of the Di- vision of Education and Psy- chology at Glenville and was Director of Student Teaching from 1960-66. Recollecting over the past 15 years and voicing his hopes for the future of the col- lege, Hardway feels his entire time at FSC has been a pro- ductive one. We don ' t dwell on the negative issues. We try to turn them into positive ones, he said. Probably the most signifi- cant event of his presidency has been the growth in num- bers of students and the de- velopment of pride and tradi- tion that are characteristics of a good college atmosphere, said Hardway. The integrity and quality of the faculty and staff have also been an advan- tage, he said, along with the growth of the alumni and com- munity support. Reflecting on other points during his presidency, Hard- way said that he was dis- tressed over the Faculty 129 COLLEGE PERSONNEL funding of higher edu- cation, explaining that most other schools receive more funding on a per student basis than FSC. Hardway also said that most people don ' t realize the educational value of FSC. How would Dr. Hardway like to be re- membered as presi- dent of FSC? I would like to be remem- bered as a person who put the welfare of the college and the education of the stu- dents first, said Hardway. Emily McDowell Dr. Earl McLaughlin Charles Manly Capt.

Freshmen see the vision as very distant, and often are not certain about the type of degree to pursue. Sophomores have the feeling of familiarity with the cam- pus. They relax, a little, and live semester to semester. Juniors have thoughts of graduation, and plan remaining semesters to ensure completion of required courses. Then suddenly, the senior year begins. Seniors are most often euphoric, and count down the number of school weeks remaining until graduation. Many students reflect upon such past events as their first apartment, first spring break, first day in the dormitory and first final grades. The transition from student to poten- tial career person has arrived. Five hundred twelve degree candidates were part of this arrival on Saturday, May 14. One hundred eleven Sen- iors graduated with honors and 364 degree candidates participated in the 117th commencement. Dr. Wendell G. Hardway, president, was the commence- ment speaker. The invocation was offered by the Rev. Vance P. Ross of the Trinity Benton ' s Ferry United Meth- President Wendell G. Hardway delivered his commencement address to 364 degree candidates and their guest. 134 odist Church. Students were not the only ones experiencing a transition to a new life. Dr. Hardway delivered his last commencement speech as presi- dent, and planned to retire. Following Hardway ' s address, Louis J. Costanzo, president of the West Virginia Board of Regents, conveyed greetings from the BOR. Nancy Lawler, chairman of the FSC Board of Advisors, gave greetings from the community. Dr. H. Dean Peters, vice president of academic affairs, presented the degree candidates. Dr. Hardway conferred degrees; and Dr. B.G. Dunn, registrar, presented diplo- mas. A reception was held in the Turley Center Ballroom following the com- mencement. It is true that a particular era has ended for the graduates. However, a new era has begun. The graduating class of 1938 attended the commencement ceremony on Saturday, May 14. After six years of college studies, Tim Johnson proudly graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree. Graduation 135 1 1 7th commencement held Mario Pearson proudly accepted his Bachelor of Arts degree in education. Specializing in music, Pearson plans to attend gra- duate school.

Ed Byron tentatively listens while Kim Bundy takes time out to smile at the photographer. 136 Dennis Conner, the man who lost the America ' s cup in 1983, won t back four years later. The Stars Stripes completed a 4-0 sweep over Australia ' s Kooka- burra II in the race that took place in Australia. The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco celebrated its 50th birthday. About 250,000 people jammed onto the bridge for an ann versary walk across the span. Another 500,000 packed the bridge approaches but were denied access because the engineers feared the span could not support the weight. President and Nancy Reagan waved to we wishers from the South Portico of the White House. Reagan escorted his wife back to the White House from the Bethesda Naval Hospi- tal where she underwent breast cancer sur- gery. Z0otW ' 9Mte nanc S ca Intrigue °ec e f Out of Politics and Religion Scandal, gossip and intrigue sur- rounded those in the limelight with a domino effect. First the Iran-Contra hearings provided most of the heat for the 1987 summer months. Fortunately for Marine Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North, the smoke cleared. Oily emerged from the scandal as a ce- lebrity and a hero. Jim and Tammy Bakker, Gary Hart and Robert Bork were not as lucky. The Bakkers ' deceit, sexual im- proprieties and drug dependencies lead to their dismissal as head of the PTL Club. Soon Gary Hart ' s affair with mod- el Donna Rice would permanently fizzle his democratic presidential campaign. Later, President Reagan ' s nomi- nation of Robert Bork for the Su- preme Court quickly soured. The de- Marine Lt. Col. Oliver North, was a key offi- cial in the plan to finance anti-government rebels in Ni caragua with money from arms sales to Iran. In the testimony before the Iran-Contra hearings in Washington, North became somewhat of a celebrity. bates focused on Bork ' s extremist attitudes and his capabilities as a judge. Bork ' s aspirations for a Su- preme Court seat were rejected by the senate due to his past extrem- ists decisions. The public did not refrain from ex- pressing their opinions. Many peo- ple felt betrayed by the deceit of their leaders. Consequently, many careers were ultimately ruined. Television evangelists Jim and Tammy Bakker said farewell to the PTL ministry in March of 1987. Jim Bakker resigned after confessing to a sexual encounter with a young woman. Tammy Bakker bowed out of the broadcasts to undergo treatment for drug dependency. The Senate rejected President Reagan ' s nomination of Robert H. Bork to the Su- preme Court by a 58-42 vote, which ended a long contentious debate over a judge alternately portrayed as a brilliant jurist and a dangerous extremist. Democratic presidential candidate Gary Hart was forced to drop his bid for the presidency after it was reported that he was romantically involved with Donna Rice, a 29-year-old aspiring actress and model from Miami. _ 139 ? 5 e f ©  V Providing entertainment for millions Baseball, football, Madonna and Whit- ney Houston have something in common. They provide entertainment for millions of adoring fans. What do these entertainers possess that draw so many people? Perhaps it is simply a matter of style. Madonna ' s Who ' s That Girl tour fea- tured such hits as Live to Tell and Like A Virgin . Donning mesh pantyhose and gloves or a virginal off-the-shoulder dress, Madonna ' s brassy blonde hair and ultra-white complexion have become a trademark recognized by millions of teen- agers. Her Who ' s That Girl tour was a big success, but the movie by the same name was yet another box office flop for Madonna. Whitney Houston is yet another singer with equal fame. How Will I Know and The Greatest Love of AH were the early songs that launched the young super- stars career. Making an appearance in concert at the West Virginia University Kirby Puckett and Jeff Reardon of the Minnesota Twins celebrate their World Series victory over the St. Louis Cardinals. The Twins won the sev- enth and final game of the series 4-2. coliseum, Houston performed such hits as I Get So Emotional and Where Do Broken Hearts Go. On a more physical side, millions tuned into the World Series and the Superbowl. The National Football League provided many interesting games since the play- ers, once again, were on strike. However, the games continued. Replacement play- ers were hired, and many were kept when! the strike ended. Fortunately, the strike! ended before Superbowl XXII, and mil- lions of fans were able to see their favor- ite Redskins play against their favorite: Broncos. The Baseball season was not as tur-J moiled. The Minnesota Twins beat the St.! Louis Cardinals while 55,376 fans attend-, ed the first World Series ever to be played indoors. Frank (Sweet Music) Viola pitched the I Twins to a 4-2 victory. Sports Illustrated reporter Steve Wulf called it a game of j true grit and determination. Masterful! A 24-day strike by the NFL players ended in mid- October when the union capitulated and went to court instead of trying to fight the club owners at the bargaining table. 140 J pitching, clutch hitting, nice calls and thousands upon thousands of Homer Han- kies attributed to the win. Once referred to as the Twinkies, they became the World Champion Minnesota Twins. Two of the top entertainers of the year were Ma- donna and Whitney Houston. Washington Redskins quarterback Doug Wil- liams grimaces as he hits the ground in the sec- ond quarter of Super Bowl XXII in San Diego. Williams went on to lead the Redskins to a 42-2 victory over the Denver Broncos, scoring a re- cord 35 of those points in the second quarter. 141 President Reagan talks with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev during arrival ceremo- nies at the White House. The two super- power leaders held a three-day summit meeting in December of 1987 and signed a nuclear arms control agreement. President and Mrs. Reagan greeted Pope Paul II when he arrived in Miami to begin a nine-city tour of the United States. The Dow Jones industrial stock average dropped 508 points, the largest in history, on Monday, Oct. 19. Some called it a crash , others called it a meltdown and others called it Black Monday. Whatever it was, it stripped $500 billion from the market value of U.S. securities. 142 Astrology and Politics: What do they have in common? Hello . . . How are you? . . . And What is your zodiac sign? According to ex-press secretary Larry Speakes, President Reagan ' s national and international meetings are all planned in accordance with a California astrolo- gist. Speakes ' book, Speak Out , notes the strong faith Nancy Reagan has for the interpreting of Zodiac signs. Her faith is so strong that President Reagan always abides by the astrologer, he wrote. Among President Reagan ' s confer- ences were a three-day summit meeting with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev. Though Gorbachev decided not to par- take in White House arranged tours of Washington, D.C., Pope Paul II enjoyed a nine city tour of the United States. A nuclear arms control agreement was signed by both superpower leaders dur- ing the December meeting. Something that was not predicted by the stars was Bloody Monday, Oct. 19. The Dow Jones industrial stock average dropped 508 points. Bloody Monday made the Black Monday stock market crash of 1929 look like peanuts. Computers on Wall Street, which auto- matically sell thousands of shares when the stock price goes to a certain number, were blamed for the collapse. Still others think that a young, inexperi- enced group of investors caused panic selling, which in turn caused mass buying, and then mass selling again. Interest rate fluctuation, the huge gov- ernment deficit, over-consumption and over-spending, and a generally relaxed attitude toward investments and the stock market were other plausible rea- sons for the poor condition of the stock market. No one factor caused this problem. Rather, it was a combination of factors and occurrences which have been com- ing a long time and were simply ignored, said Phillip Eleyette, senior chemistry major. Many students expressed concern over the Persian Gulf situation claiming that the uncertainty in the Middle East contributed. Unfortunately or fortunately, the an- swers cannot be found in any astrology book or newspaper horoscope. Still, as Eleyette concluded, The main cause was a lack of concern and hindsight on the part of the public and the i nvestors. 143 Index, advertising and Abel.

IT ' S A GOOD TIME FOR THE GREAT TASTE 910 Fairmont Avenue 1000 Speedway Avenue Fairmont, WV 149 New visions are most always our ideals and expectations of a final re- sult. New visions also have many problems. Some problems call for only minor readjustments, while oth- ers demand major rectifications. The new visions of student publica- tions were not an exception to the rules. Delayed awarding of the year- book printing contract, a small staff (which became even smaller) and da- maged film were all obstructions that changed our New Visions. The intent of New Visions is to pro- vide a different perspective for the student body, and a creative outlet for journalism students. The staff hopes that a dark room, more computer terminals, and a bid- ding procedure that would supply a publishing contract by the start of the second semester will become reali- ties. As with all final products, it is the small visions that provide means for the greater expectations. Optimism is the only attitude that can successfully channel any new vi- sion, and only hard work can make the vision a reality. It is a general wish that new visions will not only become realities, but will continue to expand. New Visions Gathering outside the Nickel for afternoon conversations is a popular routine for many stu- dents.
