7 4e ft FROM THE TOP Fairmont State College Locust Avenue Fairmont, W. Va. 26554 Vol. 79 MOUND ' 89 Students returned in full force ready to take it from the top. The near 10 percent increase in enroll- ment led to congested sidewalks and crossings. I Photo by: James Short Times — WV 7«4e It FROM THE TOP n order to get ideas for an ap- propriate pas- sage, a yearbook BtimmmM editor sits down to list words as they come to mind to describe Fairmont State College, the college on the hill. At first simple words appear: words such as exams, people, steps . . . , but a little later more personal words with complex meanings fall on the page. These words are of feeling and truth. More- over, they are words that are shared. They are common expressions that have been witnessed, yet never spoken, words such as growth, fulifill- ment, knowledge . . . These words are from the heart of the college. (Continued on page 5) Senior safety engineering technology major Tom Owens works on his archery skills in the parking lot by the lower football field. This is a common scene in the fall prior to bow season. 2 Opening Jaynes Hall houses commerce, language and literature and home economics, as well as the newly remodeled learning skills center. Not every student gets a picture taken for the yearbook ' s people section, but the ones who do can expect top quality results. It is my goal to continue the excel- lence and tradition of the college and further the quality of education. — Dr. Robert Dillman; President The tall pines shade the walk behind Mor- row Hall, where many students make their way to and from classes. Opening 3 FROM THE TOP here an evi- d e n t parallel 71 23 with the list of words and the education one receives here on the hill. They both may begin trivial, but as they con- tinue they grow and become more personal and at the same time uniting. Many times one must go to the top when confused or in need of someone else ' s words to go by. In addition there are times that people think they have gone as far as they can go. Then they later admit that they cannot wrap things up, but must take it from the top. One person or one yearbook staff cannot cov- er every single tear or smile on this growing campus, but this staff can cover this campus in a memorable glance and keep events alive with- in these 176 pages. So, now here is the chance to relive the mo- ments that the staff has captured, just TAKE IT FROM THE TOP.

The campus offers a magnificent intellectual envi- ronment. — Alieu Demba; president Student Government ; „„-««-. «%«.-i ' ' ' i Bombarded with classes students still find the time for extra activities. f is 1 m tudent Life Homecoming, the Jets concert and the many movies, sports events, plays and Stu- dent Government ' s popular TV games gave students plenty of chances to forget about the books for a time. An important part of what was seen on campus was an extra effort to get students to spend more time and weekends on campus. The Nickel was kept open on weekends and Student Goverment planned events to aid the effort. However, even with all the activities that went on, it was just like any year when refer- ring to seniors. Everyone could sense that the seniors were eager to graduate and anxious to get out in the real world and take it from the top.

Student Life 7 WHAT i 8 Student Life Do students do after two semesters of studying? The reporting class reviews material for their final exam in Multi Media B of the LRC. Rod Sterling, a junior com- puter science major, works on his assignments during his lunch break in the Turley Cen- ter. Parking problems in- creased as enrollment increased, freshman en- rollment showed a six percent increase at the beginning of the fall se- mester. The number of irritated students in- creased as freshmen and upperclassmen together learned the hard way how to get a parking space. Everyone found it dif- ficult to find a good parking space, but even- tually students learned that the earlier they ar- rived on campus, the better the parking space. So each morning at 7 a.m. the mad rush began. This meant that stu- dents were spending more time in the Nickel or the library. Often stu- dents who didn ' t have class until 9 or 10 that morning would arrive on campus at 7:30. If they stayed in bed, they could count on hoofin ' it from the farthest parking lot located across from For- est Glenn. All of this walking plus being cooped up in the Nickel and library left some students a lit- tle stir crazy, so by the end of the spring semes- ter, they welcomed spring break and sum- mer vacation with open arms. Student Life 9 • Life after hours After-hours at FSC in- volves students with sports, television, jobs, night spots, sleep and various other activities. But after two semesters of studying, the last thing on one ' s mind is books, studying or school. At the end of the spring semester, most students just want to get as far away as possible. Sell the books and burn the notes; school is out for the summer. Relaxation and fun are the only things on one ' s mind. Summer fun would include vacations, trips, jobs, parties, tele- vision, night spots and sleep. The weekend par- ties are endless. For some people, these par- ties go on all summer long and continue into the fall. Others must work the summer away, never to enjoy lying on a sunny beach or partying until dawn. Many FSC students now take trips abroad with the different de- partments such as the English department trip to Europe. Others take Student Government sponsored trips within the United States while some students go to summer school and spend their free time getting tanned in the back yard. But no matter what they may do during the summer months, when fall rolls around once again, students come back and take it from the top one more time. 10 Student Life Band students take time out to play on the teetering rock on Tom Sawyer Island at Disney World in early January, during the semester break. After a rough day of studying, these students decide it is cele- bration time at the conclusion of finals week. Student Life 11 Disney performance From Jan. 4-6 the marching band received the opportunity to travel to Florida and join in the celebration of Mickey Mouses ' s 60th birthday. Dr. Harry Faulk, band director, submitted an application for the band to perform during the celebration. Included with the application was a tape recording of the band. On Sept. 28, the response came, Walt Disney World had invit- ed the band to be quest performers in the Magic Kingdom on Thursday, Jan. 5. Two of the many high- lights at the Magic King- dom and Epcot are the daily parades down Main Street USA and World Showcase. Each day a different band was Brad Earnest leads the band down Main Street USA as they play Liberty Bell. While at Disney, Dr. Faulk had the opportunity to conduct the Walt Disney Band on Main Street. featured. The band left for Dis- ney on Jan. 3, and re- turned on Jan. 7, to allow three full days to spend at the park. With stops in North and South Carolina as well as the time at Dis- ney, the trip was an edu- cational and cultural ex- perience, especially for those who had never been south before. I was fascinated by all of the different peo- ple from all over the world. It seemed like ev- ery time I turned around I heard a different lan- guage, said drum major Brad Earnest, a junior social studies major.

Linda Kirby, senior nursing major, was chosen 1988 Home- coming queen during the game between the college and West Virginia Tech. 14 Student Life It ' s a Small World After All The theme for Home- coming, It ' s a Small World, was apparent in many of the week ' s ac- tivities. On Monday, Oct. 3 Student Government sponsored an Interna- tional Night with each organization on hand re- presenting a particular country. On Oct. 5, student groups played a version of the TV game show Win, Lose or Draw. The annaul parade marched through the streets of Fairmont on Oct. 6. Later that even- ing, six of the original 14 Homecoming candidates were selected to vie for the honor of becoming Homecoming queen dur- ing a dance for students. Friday and Saturday nights, the Masquers presented the comedy farce, See How They Run The play was free to students with their valid ID ' s. On Saturday morning, the Alumni Association held a reception welcom- ing President Robert J. Dillman and his wife Ro- seann. Following the re- ception, the annual Homecoming luncheon was held. The 1988 Homecom- ing queen, Linda Kirby, was crowned during the halftime show of the game at Rosier Field. The Falcons defeated West Virginia Tech. 48 to 25. Delta Zeta representative Linda Kirby, completely un- aware that she will be chosen Homecoming queen, rides down Adams Street in the Homecom- ing parade. Student Life 15 It ' s a Small World After All The first conference victory for the Falcons was the Homecoming game against West Vir- ginia Tech at Rosier Field in front of a crowd of 3,500. FSC easily defeated Tech to run the Falcons ' record to 2-1-2 on the year. Fairmont jumped out to a quick lead as they- scored on its first posses- sion. It took FSC seven plays to march 93 yards for the initial score as Rod Arnold finished the drive with a 35-yard run on a sweep to the left. The two-point conver- sion failed as the Falcons led 6-0 after one quarter of play.

Fairmont racked up four more TDs in the second half, bringing the closing score to 48-25. For the Falcons Over- ton and Aronld both fin- ished the contest with over 100 yards. Overton ended the contest with 186 on 20 carries and Ar- nold added 111 yards on 15 carries. Burson finished with 210 yards passing as he was 13-22 on the day with two touchdowns and one interception. 16 Student Life FSC player no. 21, Rod Ar- nold, breaks away from the pack for a first down.

I just hauled all the bags and boxes up to my room and raced down to pre-registra- tion. I stood waiting outside on the hard sidewalks in the hot sun for what seemed like days.

Next I dashed over to the cashier ' s line, paid my bill and walked out of the Turley Center, so relieved. As I made my way back to the dorm, I looked over at the line outside of the building, longer than it was be- fore. There I saw many of my friends all back and blue!

But, you know you aren ' t going to compre- hend anything, while the people next door talk about who did what, where and why. The clock hits 11 and you haven ' t gotten past page one. The neighbors finally leave.., you turn the page in your $37.95 book and begin to read about the Gettysburg Address. However, you didn ' t get past what ex- actly your forefathers did, because someone in the room above you is tapping their feet to Walk like a Dinosaur. It ' s 11:45 and you ' ve Students find ample use of the library while studying for mid-terms. decided there is no time to read word-for-word, so you ' ll just skim over the chapters and opti- mistically pray the test will be multiple choice. The next time your red and irritated eyes glance up at your clock it ' s 2 a.m. and time to call it quits. You hit the sack. The next thing you know your alarm is blaring and it ' s 7 a.m. You make your way to the shower, get dressed and grab a quick bite to eat (Oreos and a Dr. Pepper). Believe it or not, you make your 8 o ' clock class on time and the test is multiple choice — Thank you, God! On the way out the classroom door you swear you ' ll never take an 8 a.m. class again (but, of course, you said that last semester too). Luckily your feet re- membered how to get back to your room. You drop your books and hit the bed, not to move again until your room- mate comes in to get you for lunch (we won ' t men- tion the two classes you skipped) and reminds you of the French test you both have in the morning. Oh well, it ' s hard to break out of the same old routine.

Enjoying the early March sun these three co-eds relax on the flat rocks of Valley Falls. 22 Student Life Road trips make happy campers Campus and college life is not as bad as most initially believe. Howev- er, overwhelming assign- ments and the same old scene can give students an urge to break away from the monotony and go on a road trip. A spontaneous or planned day out at one of the close-by state parks just may be the cure for those study time blues. A common stomping ground for happy camp- ers is Valley Falls State Park. The park is less than a half an hour drive from campus. Students take picnic lunches, relax and enjoy the sights around them. Whether it be for the day or just an hour, a road trip may just turn out to be the answer to trivial college problems. (Road Trip Warning: no reasons necessary!)

Three hundred and fifteen seniors out of 485 that applied for gradu- ation, marched in the ceremony at the Feaster Center on Saturday, May 13 at 10 a.m. Crown Imperial by William Walton was per- formed on the organ by music professor Alice Moerk for the proces- sional.

Junior music major Brad Tenney sang I ' ll walk With God, composed by Sigmund Romberg. A degree of Doctor of Humane Letters was presented to Thelma Shaw by Dr. Dillman and Dr. H. Dean Peters, vice president for aca- demic affairs. The hon- orary degree was for her outstanding contribu- tions, which include ac- tivities on the national, state and local levels. Congressman Alan B. Mollohan, from the First District of West Virgin- ia, gave the address which followed the greetings from the Board of Regents, presented by William T.

The increase in enrollment led to congest- ed sidewalks and hallways, and parking prob- lems worse than before, but it also led to a greater demand for excellence in not only academics, but individuality as well. Honors too numerous to mention were giv- en to deserving students, faculty and admin- istration, proving that the college is populat- ed with some of the best.

Prior to that, H. Dean Peters, vice president for academic affairs was named as the acting president of the college. The president of the college, whose office is 222 AD, has the gen- eral authority and responsibility for the institution, such as exercis- ing leadership in the implementa- tion of the college ' s mission and de- veloping a support of the academic and student life programs. The president is also responsible for the development of a competent ad- ministrative organization and the efficient operation of the college. Another major responsibility of the president is the accountability for the appointment and retention of qualified persons for the faculty and staff and recommending the annual operating budgets and plans to the Board of Regents. New FSC president, Dr. Robert J. Dillman works in his new office. Dillman assumed the duties of the presidency on Sept. 1, 1988.

Among the accomlishments cited in Ms. Hart ' s selection are her con- tributions to the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) and her work with various civic organi- zations in Marion County. In November, 1988, Ms. Hart pre- sented a paper entitled Luella B. Cook: With Heartfelt Thanks dur- ing the NCTE fall convention in St. Louis. During her research, she said that she intially could find little in- formation concerning Ms. Cook ' s life and contributions. However, after all was said, and the presenta- tion made, she found her best source at the convention. It was Luella B. Cook ' s co-author, Walter Loban. People 33 Hussey, John P.

Stephenson, profes- sor of biology, conducted research at Himachal Pradesh University in In- dia in 1987 as Fairmont State ' s first Fulbright Scholar. The time I spent on the Ful- bright, Dr. Stephenson said, was the most productive, challenging and exciting period of my life. Since coming to FSC in 1976, Dr. Stephenson has carried out a vigor- ous program of basic research on several different subjects. He is in- ternationally known for his studies of myxomycetes, or plasmodial slime molds. He is a recognized au- thority on temperate forests and has authored or co-authored more than 80 papers on ecology, botany and mycology. Scaphobaeocera stephen- soni, the taxonomic name of a spe- cies of beetle he collected in India and one of his 10 discoveries of insects and myxomycetes new to sci- ence, is named for him. Dr. Stephenson says his wife, Bar- bara, has been his major, and often his only research assistant during the past 16 years. He is quick to point out that much of what he has accomplished would not have been possible without her constant sup- port and encouragement. Mrs. Ste- phenson is also a member of the FSC faculty.

Jean Ward, as- sociate professor of physical educa- tion at Fairmont State College, has proven that not only do women en- joy fishing too, but they also can do it well. Miss Ward holds 18 world records in casting and angling. Not only does she hold all of these records, she is also a published writ- er and a world representative of an international game fish association. She has had articles published in Field and Stream, Fishing in Maryland and other sports maga- zines. Her latest endeavor was a book entitled Carp in North Amer- ica, which she co-authored with five other people.

This fall semes- ter ' s enrollment of 5,747 students is an increase of 6 percent over last year ' s figure of 5,425. The largest increase has been of the on-campus traditional stu- dents, said Dr. B.G. Dunn, regis- trar. These traditional students are those who complete high school and then go straight into a four-year program here at FSC. The accessibility and location of the college and its low tuition as well as program offerings are cited as the main reasons more students opted to attend Fairmont State. I chose FSC rather that WVU because it ' s just a few miles from my house, and I can get the classes I need for less money, claimed Sher- ry Vozniak, junior business major. In fact, most of the students at- tending FSC come from either Mar- ion or Harrison counties. It ' s back to business as usual during registra- tion for the 1989 spring semester. And once again enrollment showed an increase. People 39 Cain, Anna Caldwell, Jackie Carder, Melissa Carlin, Amy B.

The state Board of Regents planned to place a receiving dish on each of the state ' s college campuses. The FSC dish was installed in July, 1988, according to Charles Manly, director of the Learning Resource Center. The transmitter, or uplink , lo- cated at W. Va. State College in In- stitute and the W. Va. College of Graduate Studies, transmits satel- lite courses to those sites that can receive them for the convenience of the students. One of the many uses of the satel- lite system administratively is tele- conferencing, a great boost to com- munications. Instead of sending re- presentatives all over the state or the country, the system lets groups meet on their own campuses. The main thrust of the entire sys- tem, was in academics, such as send- ing college and graduate courses wherever there is an interest or need. Contractors install the new satellite dish ad- jacent to the Library Building. The dish was installed to enhance academic course selec- tions on campus.

West Virginia Hasn ' t West Virginia been the butt of too many jokes and hasn ' t it been given enough bad publicity to last it a life-time? Well, obviously to a couple of Wall Street Journal reporters, enough wasn ' t enough. Recently The Wall Street Journal ran a front page story telling the United States and possibly the world what ' s wrong with the state, as if most people didn ' t know already. The Journal ' s report made Vietnam look more ap- pealing than West Virginia. This was the headline that ap- peared in the Sept. 21 issue of the Journal: State of Despair — West Virginia, mired in poverty, corrup- tion, battles a deep gloom. In smaller print the headline contin- ues: Low pay, bad schools, so its people flee the hills. Sending two sheriffs to jail ■ 8 I „ lis •  The story started out by describ- ing an 80-year-old woman who lived in a shack, with her half dozen pic- tures of Jesus, with piles of gar- bage, wood and coal sitting outside her front door. Now is this really a fair descrip- tion of how all citizens of West Vir- ginia live? True, in some parts of the state people are poor and yes, even poverty-stricken; but is this an ac- curate way to describe the entire state? Would people reading this kind of story about another state want to meet such individuals or step one foot in such a place?

In the movie Midler and Tomlin play mixed-up twins living in West Virginia, Jane Lew to be exact. The people from Jane Lew in this movie were nothing like the people who ac- tually live in Jane Lew. The movie people were barely lit- erate hicks living in shacks with ani- mals running through them. During one part of the movie Midler ' s char- acter says that she wants to try some of them — there Lee Press on Nails, as soon as she gets to the big city. Do people really believe that residents of this state are that far back in the woods? These are just a few of the exam- ples that have irritated West Virgin- ians over the years.

In corner no. 1, was talk show host Geraldo Rivera, and in corner two, a mismatched panel of guests consist- ing of a white supermacist, a leader of neo-Nazi youth group, a rabbi, and Roy Innis, chairman of the Con- gress of Racial Equality. It was just 38 minutes into the first round, when John Metzger, head of the White Aryan Resistance Youth, called Roy Innis Uncle Tom. Innis took the remark as a racial slur and began choking Metzger. The audience of skin heads, sup- porters and non-supporters or rac- ists, immediately ran on stage. All out war broke loose on the stage and FSC students watching loved it, cheering Geraldo on as he punched his guests. And what was won by this boxing match? Nothing. Except ratings, that is, although Geraldo came out of it with a broken nose after being hit by a flying chair. In between a busy day of classes, students re- lax in the Nickel and watch their favorite day- time programs. People 47 Skinner, Dean Skipper, Carla Smith, Timothy E.

Kenne- dy was assassinated; but to people mder the age of 25 the tragedy is ust a piece of history. Dallas, Texas, was the setting for ' ;his calamity that struck down the 55th president of the United States. Kennedy and his wife, Jacqueline vere there to help win support for ;he 1964 election. No one imagined :hat this trip would be the last presi- iential visit he would make. While riding in the presidential motorcade, along with Gov. and Mrs. John Conally, the president was cheered by the crowds. As the president waved, Mrs. Conally said to him, You can ' t say Dallas isn ' t friendly to you today. As soon as the words left Mrs. Conally ' s lips, the motorcade passed the Texas School Book Depository and three gunshots blasted into the limousine, sending its passengers into turmoil and hitting Kennedy and Gov. Conally. The motorcade sped away, and Mrs. Kennedy pan- icked after the last shot hit the ptJMJWLEJ Dukakh Bentsen i president, making his head seem to explode. The United States and the world were shocked to learn that after 1 p.m. that Nov. 22, Kennedy was pronounced dead. The mood on FSC ' s campus was no exception. Speech and theatre professor Jo Ann Lough was in the Administra- tion Building when she heard the news from faculty and students. She said it was terribly shocking and a very sad day for everyone that Fri- day afternoon on FSC ' s campus.

The discussion centered on the idea that the area was too small and not on the idea of having a designat- ed area. Beth Beer, junior education ma- jor, presented Student Government with a petition protesting the small area. I started the petition to get more room. said Beer. I feel that Student Government will do some- thing about the problem. Other problems were also brought up at the mee ting concerning the designated area. For example, many non-smoking students were protest- ing smoking in the buildings and some were throwing ashtrays and making remarks to smokers.

However, the pros out weigh the cons for most dorm residents. Fairmont State has three dormi- tories on campus: Pence Hall a male dorm; Morrow Hall a female resi- dence and Prichard Hall a co-ed dormitory. There is much more to dorm life than one can imagine. There are late nights of not only studying, but staying up with a roommate creat- ing a friendship that will last a life time. People cannot even begin to guess at how many bags of microwave popcorn are popped and how many cups of hot chocolate and coffee are made. There are those residents who get at least one piece of mail per day and others who are lucky to get a letter in a month, but there is always something going on to keep resi- dents busy. The dorms represent an extended family for many students, a family that is one of the most important elements toward a complete educa- tion.

In collaboration with the Marion County Public School System, FSC instituted a pro- gram known as Pro- ject Excel, which permits gifted high school students to enroll in college courses during their senior year of high school. Coordinators of the program found that it was fairly easy to main- tain a quality program if quality students are at- tracted. Dr. Don Moroose headed programs in which mental- ly impaired students in Marion County participat- ed in various swimming and physical education ac- tivities supervised by stu- dents enrolled in teacher education classes. The preparation of quality teachers has been and con- tinues to be one of the pri- mary missions of the col- lege, said Dr. Harry Had- ley, Education Division.

Prior to the concert, the con- cert band, the stu- dent brass quintet and the Chamber singers per- formed. Clearly, the hard work of the drama, speech, and music groups can easily be evaluated, but the work of students in the art depart- ment was a little tougher to assess. According to art profes- sor Barry Snyder, the grades art students receive are based on individual progress. He said that ev- eryone has a different level of skill, so he could not pos- sibly set a grading scale for everyone to follow. The art students partici- pated in a number of ex- hibits with the seniors hav- ing their own exhibits in the spring to display their individual work. Snyder concluded by saying that the art pro- gram is as old as the col- lege itself. Christy Sams, instructor ' s assis- tant, inspects one of many pottery projects. Academics and Organizations 73 At a time when most students were still enjoying their summer, the Fine Arts Division was preparing for the first of four major productions to be performed during the academic year. On the evenings of June 18 through June 23, The Mu- sic Man was per- formed in Wallman Hall. Next, the stage was set at 7:30 p.m. in the Turley Center on December 5 and 6 for the Masquers to per- form The World of Black- out. On February 23-25, The Diary of Anne Frank was performed for a large crowd. Finally, the last performance of the year was set for April 20 through April 22 with The Boys Next Door. Not only did the theatre department excel in extra- curricular activities, but the speech communica- tions department was in- volved in several competi- tions. The oral interpreta- tion team captured numerous team and indi- vidual honors in competi- tions across the country. Because curriculum has been thriving over the years, a Speech Communi- cations and Theatre Bach- elor of Arts Degree was added to the College ' s ma- jors.

Carson, who is also coordinator of music, said that the music department held ten major con- certs in the fall and ten more in the spring. All of the concerts were held on the campus, and they lasted approxi- mately an hour. Carson also added that the Marching Band went to Disney World to per- form in one of the three pa- rades. She didn ' t think the band would go next year because of expenses. Music majors had cer- tain requirements they had to meet, such as taking at least one credit hour of pri- vate lessons and perform- ing in a senior recital, in or- der to graduate. So, the music majors not only went to classes, but many in- volved themselves in marching and jazz bands or Collegiates and chorus. Without the effort and the commitment of these talented students, football games would lose their pep. The campus would be silent. Students continue to contribute their talents to make the music program what it is. Under the direction of drum major Brad Earnest, the Marching Band performs for the crowd.

HPERS, as it is known on campus, is not an organization centered around the athlete ; HPERS students are not only competitive in sports but also in academics. Dur- ing the spring semester faculty were busy selecting the student to receive the outstanding HPERS award. It was no surprise to anyone when Vonda Shaw was selected as the recipi- ent. Another project of the division of HPERS was a benefit dance along with the help of the American Heart Association to raise funds for its cardiovascular research and education programs. All participants received certificates and prizes depending on the amount of their donation. As far as changes go in the HPERS division, Ca- meron said, Presently we are working on curriculum revision. Still, unlike academics, competitive sports were not determined by who had the most votes, it was more of a head competi- tion. Who won was the in- dividual.

For the 108 course, class enrollment was based on freshman ACT scores. For the 250 courses, students had to have completed at least 12 credit hours and maintained a GPA of 3.7 or better. Through the coopera- tion of the Learning Skills Center, a tutorial service was offered. Tutors were English majors. The English Depart- ment continued its work on a new writing center that will open in the fall. Dr. Robert Grattan, chairman of the division of Language and Literature, concluded, Those students who gra- duate with the knowledge and skill to use a foreign language will possess a tal- ent of remarkable worth.

Of course, all the hard work paid off with high ex- pectations for the year- book staff and the out- standing ratings of the newspaper. In fact, The Columns received a first class rating with three marks of distinction for the 1988 fall semester. Although student jour- nalists worked hard, their jobs were made a little easier by two computers provided by publications funding for the staff. Indeed, journalism, like most other fields, slowly moved into the computer age. Jane Dumire, journal- ism coordinator and direc- tor of publications, said, We are making inroads into desk-top publishing as more students acquire computer skills. Journalism classes had access to two additional computers purchased through academic funding. Lack of revenue prevented having a computer at each student ' s work station in the Journalism Lab.

A curriculum change in political science required majors to take 15 hours of American government and 15 hours of electives. The newly formed Helpline went into effect in the fall. Dr. Joseph Shaver, advisor for the Be- havior Science Club, was the instructor for the class. Also, Student Patrols, a new on-campus security program, began on March 1. Students were chosen and trained in seminars to familiarize them with ex- isting security procedures on campus. According to Dr. Wang, The cooperation of facul- ty and their excellent teaching qualities is the biggest help. I am happiest when the faculty is suc- cessful and the students achieve academically. Dr. Wang also said, Four factors contributed to the increase in students ' interest in the social sci- ence disciplines: there are more social problems and crimes today, thus creating a demand for law enforce- ment; people are more con- cerned with other nations and international affairs; society has become more demanding for liberal arts education and social ser- vices in human service work.

Only five short years ago this aca- demic unit was in the beginning stages of progression from a traditional atmo- sphere to a comput- er-aged, high-tech environment. This change set the stage for further advancement. Increased computer ap- plication and a continued emphasis in marketing and research development was the expected trend in En- gineering Technology. The impact computers have had on us is that we have had to change the way we teach, Dr. Griscom, di- vision chairman, said. Young faculty members are coming into the work- place with computer skills and expertise. We want to provide them with the hardware and the software to teach these concepts. Retraining in areas of faculty development through workshops and seminars along with con- sultants through an FSC foundations grant last summer all contributed to the increased success of technological develop- ment.

In addition to mathematics, chem- istry and computer science courses, Dr. Griscom empha- sized that a strong liberal arts back- ground is very im- portant for students pur- suing careers in technol- ogy.

Engineers or technolo- gists who can ' t communi- cate their ideas, who can ' t read reports or write memos, are not as valuable in the workplace as those who have these skills. American industry in the past have lacked in areas of production and ef- ficiency, which were di- rectly related to one of the main reasons this country experienced problems with international competition. We should see a focus of American industry on techniques, Griscom said, which are being used in Korea, Japan and Thai- land, some of the emerging countries which are giving us extreme competition. u uu lt .,iiifn« ( ' Tim Smith displays his magneti- cally operated train model in the technology wing of Wallman Hall. 94 Academics and Organizations Janice Tydon and Sandy Moore perform their tasks as work study students in the home economics department.

One such avenue is Student Govern- ment; despite the widely held miscon- ception that it only performs small pro- gramming activi- ties. This may be true in some cases, but the 1988-89 SG worked long and hard to make things a little better for FSC stu- dents. SG president, Alieu Demba, said, This SG has become more responsible to the needs of students and has introduced many new things that were very positive. Parent weekend, international night, an in- crease in tutor funds, and a change in the Turley Cen- ter smoking policy were some positive results. Hosting the Jets in con- cert, promoting the home- coming parade and dance, sponsoring political speak- ers, the Christmas tree lighting ceremony, Win Lose or Draw, Band Fest, and Spring Fling were among other non-academic activities brought forth by the ' 88- ' 89 SG.

In the seven previous seasons to this one, FSC finished second many times, including three in a row before this fall. Fairmont ended the regular season tied for first with the Shepherd Rams, but earned the conference title by downing the Rams 10-3 and gaining a spot in the NAIA play-offs. Once we won the Shepherd game, I think the play- ers saw the light at the end of the tunnel, said coach Wally Hood. They saw we were going to go to the play- offs. The Falcons ' win against the Rams at Shepherd- stown was the turning point of the season. Fairmont was playing good football up to that point, but the Falcons couldn ' t get any breaks. Although their record stood at 3-1-2 overall and 2-0-2 in the conference, the title was slightly out of reach because Fairmont ' s two ties came to pre-season co-favorites Concord and West Virginia State. With the help of the other league teams knocking each other out of contention, the Falcons were able to achieve one of its team goals. We achieved what we started out to do at the begin- ning of the season, said coach Hood. Fortunately, we got some help from other people to get us back into it after the two ties. The kids made the most of it and I think that probably should be attributed to our seniors. What the seniors did do was get the underclassmen to play together and gave them the confidence to stride to succeed. The Falcon seniors on this team had finished second the past three seasons and didn ' t want it to happen again.

WVIAC Champs There are 16 teams that make the playoffs and they are all pretty good, added coach Hood. I ' m glad we were able to win the conference and travel to Michigan to play an outstanding Hillsdale team. Fairmont saw a repeat of the playoffs in 1981, draw- ing Hillsdale in the first round. The outcome was the same as the Michigan team routed the Falcons 42-7, ending their post-season play. The Falcons, however, did achieve what they had started out for. They began preparation for this way early in 1988 during spring drills. FSC hit the weights hard over the off-season to be better prepared for the fall. We felt starting back in January that we had the kind of team, the capability, the potential, to win the league, said coach Hood. A lot of things had to take place between the time we started and the time it hap- pened. We had a lot of talent coming back, added coach Hood. The key was since we had a new quarterback and it was hard to say how that was going to affect us. Plus, we needed to fill some gaps voided by graduation in the spring.

WVIAC Champs Coach Hood and his staff were able to compensate for the loss of several key players and FSC had more depth than any other season after spring drills. Then, things fell apart. Over the summer, when we finished spring drills, we really had probably as much depth as we ' ve had since I came here, said coach Hood. Then, for one reason or another, we had some kids that gave up football or didn ' t come back and so forth. Suddenly, our depth at certain positions was mini- mal, added coach Hood. So going into the season in August, we kind of found ourselves shortchanged in some areas. The lack of depth showed in the first few games. Carson-Newman handed the Falcons a loss in the sea- son opener and FSC just got by Clarion before tying Concord and West Virginia State. But one thing was in favor of the Falcons and that was they had yet to have a major injury to one of their big players. As a matter of fact, Fairmont didn ' t suffer many major injuries all season. We were fortunate all year not to have some injuries at key positions, said coach Hood. We did have a lot of injuries though. But the injuries didn ' t bother the team that much. Time and time again they fought adversity and came out on top, which shows that good football teams find ways to win. We were the kind of team that didn ' t do things easily, said coach Hood. We had our struggles but it was the personality of the team that pulled us together and gave FSC such a successful football season.

In the final half of the season, FSC picked up slim victories and suffered frustrating defeats. Three games were decided by only one point, defeating Glenville 53- 52 and Salem 70-69, but losing to West Liberty 78-77. In the win over Salem, senior Haywood Highsmith collected his 1,000 career rebound. Already having scored over 1,000 points at FSC, he became only the ninth player to record 1,000 points and 1,000 rebounds in a career. I play every game the best I can, Highsmith said. I try to be a team player and not try for personal goals. Four games were decided in overtime with the Fal- cons winning half of those, capturing victories over Al- derson-Broaddus 83-82 and Point Park 69-66.

Fairmont ended the season with only eight players, however, with some leaving for personal reasons and others due to injury. The Lady Falcons began competition with the Lady Tiger classic against Salem and West Virginia Tech in games that did not affect conference standings. FSC dropped a 92-74 decision to the Lady Golden Bears, but regrouped to defeat the Lady Tigers 90-65. Through the month of January, the Lady Falcons compiled an 8- 7 overall record, with three conference wins against West Liberty, Davis Elkins and Wheeling. The Fal- cons also suffered conference losses to Salem, Shepherd and West Liberty. The Falcons went over the Christmas break hoping to improve on a mediocre start. However, Fairmont had several voids to fill as senior Leigh Ann Tustin, the Falcons ' leading scorer mid-way through the season, and sophomore Carrie Baker each departed the team due to personal reasons. All season, we would start the games slowly and have to play extra hard through the rest of the game to pick up the win or lose a close contest, said coach Jim Brinkman. This team showed a lot of spirit and played well with everything that went on this season. Ending the year with only eight players is a difficult task to accomplish and expect to have a winning season.

They ended the regular season 5-10 in the conference and 11-15 overall before their tournament match-up with Alder- son-Broaddus. With the season ending in a rather disappointing fashion, the Lady Falcons, picked to finish third in the preseason poll, drew A-B in the conference tournament. FSC played well throughout the contest, but fell in the final minutes of play 65-60. Although FSC wound up with an 11-16 overall re- cord, the Lady Falcons can look on this year as a re- building one.

Over 1,100 college squads vied in regions across the nation to become one of the 60 teams selected to attend the NCACC in Dallas. Of the 60 squads that traveled to Dallas, Fairmont State captured fourth. ' TSC ' s fourth place finish was the highest ever for a West Virginia school, said coach Carolyn Crislip- Tacy.

At Pipestem, FSC claimed the Southern Regional by out-lasting the University of Charleston 618 to 624.

Fairmont State led the tournament by four strokes going into the final round of play, but fell short against the University of Charleston, ending its season by plac- ing second. FSC does however have only one senior graduating this season, which should provide a good returning team for next year. Coach Stan Groves was more than satis- fied with his young team ' s performance this year. I ' m surprised with the success we ' ve had, since this was a rebuilding year. We do have a group of over- achievers. Going into the season I hoped we would finish as high as third, but the 2nd place finish is very satisfying.

We have no one to blame but ourselves, said coach Ron Whiting. We can look back on the season and point to a lot of different places where we could have . w A 4 gotten the job done.

Missy had a great season for a freshman and really made a definite improvement by the confer- ence meet, added Bohnke. One change for the Falcons ' runners this season was the location of the Fairmont Invitational during Homecoming week. Instead of competing at the Ap- ple Valley Golf Course, Fairmont State held its home race on campus and received favorable re- sponses from the runners and enabled more people to see the race itself. The race was excellent, said Bohnke. We didn ' t have to go to Apple Valley and more people were able to see our home race. The runners and other teams responded positively to the new course.

Oh yeah. Well, if a Democrat is elected, fm going to catch the next plane to Israel. These words were actually spoken by two stu- dents before the Presidential election. Throughout the prolonged campaignings, many polls were taken to try and predict the winners. This campus was no exception. Dur- ing the Activities Fair, on Oct. 27, the Political Science Association conducted a survey that reflected the voting record of West Virginia. The votes we registered in our mock election, said PSA member Tom Fast, leaned to- wards the Demo- crats by about a 20 percent margin. On the presiden- tial vote, Mike Du- kakis received 30 marks while Bush trailed by six, a 12 percent difference. The actual election revealed that Duka- kis did lead Bush by a four percent mar- gin in West Virgin- ia. The gubernatori- al race leaned even more heavily towards the Democrats in the poll. Gaston Caperton re- ceived 35 votes and Arch Moore collected 20 votes, a margin of 28 percent. The real election revealed that Gaston Caperton did win big by approximately a two-to-one margin. Caperton claimed that his partnerships and progress program is what West Virginia needed to get the state out of the slump. Fur- thermore, at his victory speech, he perked the ears of the education sector by saying that this is a victory for education. However, several months after the election things were turning in a different direction. Many tax hikes and reappraisals were immediately enforced by Caperton. College students and faculty from throughout the state marched to the capitol in early spring to argue that West Virginia sports seem to come before education. While Caperton had his work cut out fo: him in West Virginia, President Bush had th task of maintaining Reaganized economii growth while working with a Democratic Con gress. The nation waited to see if his read rm lips, no new taxes pledge held true. Ameri cans seem to get used to these kinds of state ments. Hopefully, the two electees will keep theii words but two FSC y W 1 ! B A. students may be ! packing their bags Maybe because i Republican won th( big office, the un- pleased Democra will only move tc Virginia. Since z Democrat won the little office, maybe the displeased Re- publican will settle for a closer place ike Mexico. At anj rate may God be with both of them. The Democrats went to Atlanta in the summer of 1988 and decided on Michael Dukakis, the governor of Massachusetts, to be its candidate for President of the United States. He picked Lloyd Bentsen, a senator from Texas, as his running mate. 148 Magazine w 4kMi Vice President George Bush, after serving for eight years in the Ronald Reagan adminis- summer of 1988. His choice for running mate was Sen. Dan Quayle of Indiana. Quayle, 41, tration, got the expected nod at the Republican National Convention in New Orleans in the was not a popular choice, but some say he has more experience than Dukakis. Times-West Virginian editorial expresses good point 10 16 88 Caperton ' s criticism is aimed in wrong direc- tion Gaston Caperton, West Virginia ' s Demo- cratic candidate for governor, has said, prob- ably on numerous occasions, that he is deter- mined to improve upon the quality of West Virginia education. He said by this he also means better pay for better teachers. This is all well and good and if Caperton should be elected, as the current polls say that he will, we trust that West Virginians will hold him to this promise. Caperton is implying, of course, that the Arch Moore administration has not been good for education. And the bottom line would indi- cate that he might be correct. But one must remember that Governor Moore was working with a Democratic legisla- ture which made it very difficult for him to get his educational programs passed. Moore was working against a stacked deck. The Demo- cratic-controlled legislature did little to ad- vance any of the education programs advanced by Moore during his term. Moore placed the monkey squarely on the back of the state lawmakers with his teacher and school oriented programs including his Year of Education plan. But these all fizzled in the Legislature. This is the way politics works, of course. A Democratic governor pushing the same plans as did Moore probably would have been seen as a hero on the W. Va. educational scene with some prompt action by the state lawmakers. The legislature should be blamed! Predictions of the election were not far from actual results. The Gallop Poll gave Bush a 12 per- cent lead. USA Today and the Cable News Net- work saw Bush with an 1 1 percent lead. ABC and CBS gave Bush a 9 percent lead. NBC and the Wall Street Journal pre- dicted a 5 percent marginal win for Bush. Fifty-four percent of the voting popula- tion received the candidate of their choice. Magazine 149 Olympic wrap-up ummer games attracted record number of athletes Despite the threats of terrorism and student demonstrations that first loomed over Seoul, Korea, the 1988 Summer Olympic Games proved successful in promoting international understanding through sports, the true mean- ing of the Olympics. At no time in history have so many athletes from so many places gathered in one place to perform, as were gathered in Seoul. Not since 1968, in Mexico City have Olympic athletes come together without serious absenteeism or violence. Some felt the race for the gold was tar- nished somewhat by Canadian sprinter Ben Johnson as well as nine other athletes who were expelled from the games for the use of banned substances. But for those who proudly represented their countries, it was a time for honest competition. Although the American athletes returned home in third place of the medal race, it was an Olympics of personal and team triumph. Carl Lewis became the first man in Olympic history to win the long jump twice. His victory led U.S. teammates Mike Powell and Larry Myricks in a one-two-three finish. Lewis ' s aim in Seoul was to recapture the four gold medals he had won in Los Angeles four years earlier. Although he was awarded the gold in the 100- meter spring after Johnson ' s disqualification, he was inched out at the red tape in the 200- meter spring by teammate Joe DeLoach. He still, however, has collected a total of six Olympic golds and one silver medal. Florence Griffith Joyner, known as the first lady of track and field, won three gold medals and one silver. She surpassed the 28- year-old record of American Wilma Rudolph and nearly equaled the four golds of Holland ' s Fanny Blankers-Koen 40 years ago. In the 200-meter race, in her first heat, she set a new Olympic record; in the semifinals she set a new world record of 21.56 and less than two hours later, she broke that record in the final with a time of 21.34 seconds. Jackie Joyner-Kersee won a gold medal when she soared 24 feet 3-Vi inches, the seconc best performance in her career. Her jubilatioi at winning a second gold medal was surpassec only by her goodwill toward her East Germai opponent. She and Heike Drechsler left thi field hand in hand on the way to receive thei medals. Greg Louganis, after years of competing one notch above other divers and teaching thi world to dive on this level, faced teenager: from the Soviet Union, East Germany am China. These young competitors threatenec Louganis ' dream of sweeping the diving com petition in two consecutive Olympic Games. After giving viewers a scare by hitting hi head on the board during the springboard pre liminaries, Louganis went on to win a gol medal in that event. In the men ' s platform final Louganis trailec 3 points behind 14-year-old Xiong Ni of Chi na. He somehow managed to perform wha some refer to as the best dive of his career, ; reverse 3- Vi somersault which won him thi gold. Janet Evans won three gold medals in swim ming. Weighing barely 100 pounds, she wa dwarfed by the East Germans on the victor; stand but she had beat them all. Although these were the Americans whi shone in the games, people can ' t forget thi U.S. women ' s basketball team and their driv for the gold; the men ' s volleyball team, wh crushed the Soviets in the finals; Jim Abbotl who led the U.S. baseball team to a 5-3 victor over Japan; heavyweight Ray Mercer, the ol dest U.S. fighter and his gold medal match, a well as many others. As the games came to a close, the earlie fears were gone, and many people heaved sigh of relief. As the fireworks lit up the sky, som thought of what if. But they had performe and it was over. Sue McConnell, a point guar on the women ' s basketball team, summed u the feelings of most American as well as othe athletes best when she declared, I ' m just s proud to be wearing this uniform. 150 Magazine Balloon Arrangements - Fruit Baskets csuz ' tUl and jflowe x Silk • Dried - Fresh ALL OCCASION FLORIST 1821 SPEEDWAY FAIRMONT, WV 265S4 Gerald and Lee Michael OWNERS Johnson disgraces Olympic spirit In Seoul, Korea, September, 1 988, the mag- ic of the Olympic Games couldn ' t mask the disgrace of a Canadian sprinter after it was found that he had used steroids. Ben Johnson, 26, a master of explosive starts, had already shot down the 100-meter track faster than anyone else before him. It took him only 9.79 seconds to run the 100. But then it was learned that Johnson may have taken steroids and at the Doping Control Cen- ter of the Korean Advanced Institute of Sci- ence and Technology, tests of athletes began. The tests took 12 hours to run through and when completed they proved that Johnson had the drug in his system. Test results were re- ported to the Belgian chief of the International Olympic Committee ' s Medical Commission, Prince Alexandre de Merode, who checked to determine whose sample it was, because it was only identified by a number. Another portion of the sample was tested again and the results were the same: the Olym- Men ' s Wear — Women ' s Wear Levines 323 Adams St. Fairmont, W.Va. 26554 Canadian Ben Johnson, left, looks over at arch rival Carl Lewis at the finish of the 100-meter race in the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, South Korea.

SAY-BOY STEAK HOUSE Country Club Road Fairmont, W. Va. 26554 366-7252 Magazine 151 Now the news Discovery Some 32 months after the worst space disas- ter in history and amidst several delays and weather changes, the United States of Amer- ica returned to space exploration in October. All eyes were on Launch Pad 39-B at the Kennedy Space Center as the spacecraft Dis- covery roared to life and began its climb into outer space. As Discovery passed the crucial 70-second mark, the moment at which the pi- lot would have to throttle the main engines to place the shuttle in orbit, memories were re- vived of that tragic January day when the shuttle Challenger exploded, killing all seven crew members. However, the newly designed orbiter rose faultlessly and ended any doubt that the USA was back in space. The four-day flight of the shuttle was above all a test of the spacecraft itself. In addition to improvements of the booster rocket joints, which was one reason for the Challenger acci- dent, NASA, the National Aeronautic and Space Administration, made several safety improvements including an escape system and modifications to the landing gear and general design of the shuttle. Some changes had to be made and I think it is a better and safer system now, said Ray Payton, junior chemistry major. The Chal- lenger accident was tragic and steps must be taken by NASA to reduce the chances of an- other such incident. ' In the 25-year history of the space program, no manned mission ever ended in such a graphic fashion. This incident has been called the worst ever, but was not the first in which an astronaut had lost his life. On Jan. 27, 1967, during the Apollo series of flights, three astro- nauts were killed when fire swept through their capsule. The cause was a pure oxygen leak which pressurized inside the spaceship resulting in a flash fire which engulfed the entire capsule. The three killed were the first Apollo Astronauts who were preparing for voyages to study the lunar orbits of the moon. Virgil I. Gus Grissom was the mission com- mander and the second American in space during the Mercury project. His crew consist- ed of Edwin White III, the first American to walk in space, and Roger Chaffee Jr., who was preparing for his first space journey. There have been other tragedies for pilots and astronauts, but none worse than the Chal- lenger accident, said senior business major Jeff Houghton. This latest incident is prob- ably the worst because it marks the first time that a civilian had been killed. The civilian was New Hampshire school teacher Crista McAuliffe, who was the winner of the teacher-in-space competition from 1 1,000 applicants. The astronaut crew of the Challenger was led by mission commander Francis Dick Scobee, co-pilot Michael Smith, mission specialists Judith Resnik, Elis- son Onizuka and Ronald McNair, and satel- lite engineer Gregory Jarvis. It was a very sad occurrence that will stay in my memory forever, said Mike Hood, ju- nior business major. But we should encour- age progress in the field of space exploration and respect those who work in that field. Although the Challenger accident was truly a misfortunate happening, NASA has planned for several missions into space, as well as pro- posals for a manned space station and deep space explorations of neighboring planets. With this new sense of security in the space program, Americans will be able to watch and participate in missions well into the next dec- ade. Water crisis Very rarely does the college cancel classes, but area water problems led campus officials to have to close down the college on the hill. The water problem originated from a break in a 20-inch line in Millersville, leaving in the beginning about 4,000 residents without wa- ter. Mid-afternoon on August 25, 1988 college administrators were prompted to call off classes. Although the city informed residents and students that the water was safe to drink, soon after they were forced to indicate that the water needed to be boiled before using. The city police advised all car washes and area laundromats to close during the emergen- cy. City workers repaired the breaks in the area lines and classes resumed that Monday morn- ing as usual. 152 Magazine Highgate One hundred area citizens gathered to share their views and listen to plans for saving High- gate in early September. The major concern arose when it became known that the Hardees ' food chain bid on a part of the property. The preservation of Fairmont ' s historic mansion, Highgate, was initiated by the Con- vention and Visitor ' s Bureau on Sept. 19, 1988. The bureau donated offices for the Friends of Highgate to organize, campaign and raise money for the preservation of the property. Many ideas were presented in what to do with the mansion one of which aroused enthu- siasm from Marion County citizen Jude Mill- er. This idea was to have the carriage house the home of a coal mining museum. It would be a real feather in our cap, Miller said. Telescope crashes The National Radio Astronomy Observa- tory in Green Bank, W. Va. reported that their 300-foot radio telescope crashed to the ground on Nov. 16, 1988. The telescope was the first of its kind and was the key to pioneering the modern study of the universe. The telescope fell to the ground after two towers collapsed. These towers were the main support for the enormous dish-shaped tele- scope. The National Science Foundation runs the Deercreek Valley observatory and reported that an operator was on the site at the time of the incident, but no one was injured. The telescope was used for research by about 150 scientists a year to collect radio waves from space, helping to locate and de- scribe distant objects in the cosmos. Its de- struction is taken as a major loss to the astron- omy community. Deercreek, outside of Green Bank, was cho- sen to support the observatory because the mountains in the area shielded the extra-sensi- tive instruments from problem noise activity. With exhibits of antique equipment, coal mining stories and history it would be some- thing to really bring people into this area. Hardees ' officials withdrew their bid to buy eight lots of the property as a friendly gesture to the city, and has set out to aid the effort and will find another site for their new store.

The chal- lenger, at 105 pounds, heels and a tight dress, is his soon to be ex-wife, Robin Gi- vens. Who do you think will win? In a 20 20 interview, Barbara Walters acted as referee for the fighting Tysons. Givens, 23, stars in the ABC sitcom, Head of the Class and is believed by many to have married Tyson, 22, for his money. Well, folks, the man makes a living getting his face pounded to a pulp and his brain gets bounced around quite a bit, so do you really think she married him for his awesome good looks and charming wit? This marriage has been rocky since its beginnings, but in the interview it was evi- dent that it would soon hit rock bottom. Givens told Walters that Tyson had be- come abusive towards her and that he had threatened her. She also went on to say she even had to coax him down off a roof one night. The tabloids have had a field day with the Tysons. They have printed stories or Tyson ' s suicide attempts, having a heydaj when he crashed his BMW into a tree. The flames of the controversy were fanned ever more when it was rumored that he had threatened suicide before driving off. Tyson told Walters in the interview thai At this stage of my life, I have millions. M wife would just have to ask for it, and she has every penny I have. If she wants it right now, she can leave right now, take every thing I have and leave. Maybe she tool him up on his offer, because just three days later that ' s exactly what she did. Critics of Givens say she and her mothei manipulated Tyson and just wanted his money. Others feel Givens is the devotee wife who tried to stick by him, but began tc fear for her own safety, and Tyson is a bi£ bully. Whatever story is fact, one thing is for sure: This marriage is over. 154 Magazine Congratulations Graduates!

It wasn ' t if Michael Dukakis would win the Democratic nomination. It wasn ' t about who would win the war in the Gulf. It wasn ' t if Oliver North would spend some time in jail for his involvement in the Iran-Contra scandal. The question was, Is Elvis alive? Elvis is alive, rumors have been going on since Presley died on August 16, 1977, but during the spring of 1988 the question was on the tip of almost everyone ' s tongue. These ru- mors of Elvis ' being spotted all over the coun- try were the focus of talk shows, radio programs, tabloids and a new book claiming that the rock-and-roll king faked his own death. The controversial book entitled Is El- vis Alive? by Gail Brewer-Giorgio, questions many of the circumstances surrounding the death of Elvis Pres- ley. Giorgio asked the question, Do you know of any- body who has more imitators? The per- son on the street could be fooled by a look-alike — or it could really be Elvis. Other evidence that Giorgio pointed out to support her claim was that Elvis ' Graceland grave has his middle name spelled Aaron: it ' s spelled Aron on his birth certificate, his mar- riage license and in most crossword puzzles. This was enough to convince some. But for others who were still skeptical about Elvis being alive, Giorgio claimed many fans believed that Elvis looked different in his cof- fin, maybe even waxed and in fact, that the body was a waxed replica cooled by an air conditioner to prevent the fake Elvis from melting like ice cream. Another significant factor in the Elvis is alive furor is a 60-minute cassette tape that is supposed to be a conversation with Elvis four years after his death. Elvis explains on the tape that he needed privacy, talks about his trips to Europe, and his desire to return to the stage someday. Further conversation on the tape revealed that Elvis needed a rest even more than he realized. And after about a year, I started missing the people and the entertaining . . . It ' s been a constant battle, growing beards and this and that to keep from being recognized, said the tape claiming to be Elvis speaking. The controversy has raged everywhere with the campus as no exception. I believe Elvis is still alive, but went into hiding, because he didn ' t like the ex- posure and had enough money to pull it off. Besides I don ' t care if he ' s alive or not, people should just leave him alone, said senior business ma- jor, Danny Moodis- paugh. With some stu- dents believing El- vis could still be alive, others feel that this claim is a total hoax. It is all just a scheme. People will make money off his name as long as possible, ' ' said freshman John Tiano, engineering tech- nology major. 156 Magazine Readers Rap Stop complaining Dear Editor: It is not too often that people have generally nice things to say about something. Most of the time, all anyone wants to do is complain. Well, I do not want to complain this time. I have no questions or criticisms, just a com- ment of compliments! Overcome by smoke Dear Editor: I realize you probably receive hundreds of letters concerning the restricted smoking on campus, but I feel mine is a very valid com- plaint. As a non-smoker who is extremely allergic to cigarette smoke, I am often overcome when entering a restroom or lounge area. Such inci- dents sometimes result in my having to leave school entirely and go home to recuperate. Even the slightest hint of smoke left in a room can cause my eyes to remain swollen and irri- tated for up to three days. It is an extreme health hazard to me and possibly to others, such as those stricken with asthma. I will never understand how people have the nerve to complain that there are not enough smoking areas. I don ' t feel that there should be any. I think smoking should be entirely banned on college campuses. If people want to smoke, let them do it in their own cars with the win- dows up.

The Dodgers, with a short break after the seventh game of the WLCS against the New York Mets, faced a well-rested Oakland team that swept the Boston Red Sox in four games. Los Angeles also entered the series with start- ing outfielder Kirk Gibson, the Dodgers lead- ing home run hitter, hampered by injuries and starting pitcher John Tudor also slowed by injury. The Dodgers appeared easy prey for the A ' s led offensively by Jose Canseco and Mark McGwire. Canseco became the first player to hit 40 home runs and steal 40 bases in a sea- son, with 42 homers and 40 steals. McGwire hit 32 home runs and 99 runs batted in the regular season. Oakland ' s pitching staff, with 21 -game winner Dave Stewart, and 17-game winner Bob Welch, and complimented by re- liever Dennis Eckersly, who compiled 45 saves in the regular season, seemingly had a tremen- dous edge over the battered Dodgers. However, in game 5, Dodger pitching ace Orel Hershiser hurled a four-hitter and Mick- ey Hatcher, replacing Gibson, hit a two-run homer, leading the Dodgers to a 5-2 victory and the world championship. In Game 1, at LA, the A ' s led 4-3 and one out away from a win. Gibson hobbled off the bench for what would be his only at bat in the series and hit a two-run homer for a 5-4 Dodg- er victory. Hershiser, the eventual series MVP, provided the heroics in Game 2, pitch- ing a shutout and collecting three hits of his own in a 6-0 Dodger win. The Dodgers took a 2-0 series lead to Oak- land, and the A ' s responded at home with a 2-1 win on Mark McGwire ' s ninth inning home run. The next day, however, McGwire popped up for the fi- nal out of the game with the bases loaded, giving the Dodgers a 4-3 win and one game from the champion- ship. Her- shiser, also named the NLCy Young Award win- ner, ended a brilliant sea- son for him- self and his teammates with a four- hitter and earning him- self the series ' MVP. A $7.9 mil- lion contract for Hershiser was signed after the se- ries, making him the high- est paid pitch- er in baseball. The World Series belonged to the captured their sixth World Series title Oakland A ' s in the fifth game of the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Dodgers in October with a 5-2 victory over the series. Wrapped up in sports cliches You know, sometimes coaches get inter- viewed so many times during one season, they run out of things to say. They end up repeating themselves or they may even try to come up with a few clever phrases. When coaches do come up with some catchy phrases, you can rest assured that they will make the story. There is no doubt about it, cliches can make a story that more interest- ing to read. Then, once a coach uses these phrases and other coaches read them, look out. Every coach in the area will be using it or they will try to come up with one better. The coaches at Fairmont State are no dif- ferent than other coaches. They like to use cliches when being interviewed. Sometimes they will come up with one of their own or they may borrow one. Most of the time, how- ever, it is borrowed. It ' s like a money hanging on your back, is a famous one liner that a lot of coaches use after getting the first win of the year. It is also used if a coach hasn ' t got a win for a while. Another good one is, We ' ll just play one game at a time, or a better is, If we can cut down on our mistakes, we ' ll be a good team. Come on, coaches, any time you can cut down on mistakes, you ' ll be a better team. And there is no way that you can play more than one game at a time. 158 Magazine KIME FLORAL Artistry In Flowers 600 Fairmont Avenue Fairmont, WV 26554 366-9711 STATE FARM GREG KELLY agent 124 Adams St. Fairmont, W.Va. 26554 Bus. 366-9616 Res. 366-9301 HE AT Quality Banking For West Virginia A subsidiary of CBS.

The building was dedicated during a cere- mony with president Robert Dillman, William McLaughlin, a member of the West Virginia Board of Regents, and Dr. William Simmons, WVBOR Chancellor. Dr. Hardway spoke at the ceremony. A reception was held in the Turley Center Ballroom following the dedica- tion, which was held in the hallway of the Administration Building because of rain.

The year is through and soon the book will close. However, each time this book is opened the events of the past year that have been frozen within these 176 pages come alive and awaken many happy and sad mo- ments in each of our lives. Such events as Homecoming, the successful season of women ' s volleyball and the death of George Cannon, vice president for Student Affairs. No matter how often or how little this book is dusted off and reviewed the 1988-89 Mound staff worked day in and day out to present the college a year taken from the top. The college provides the opportunity not only to become well-rounded, but students are en- couraged to aid in the growth of the campus — to offer the college something in return for the quality and traditional experiences the institu- tion has given to each one of us. — Joyce Ann Smith Mound Editor ' 89 Closing 175 How we wrapped it up Editor in Chief Joyce Smith Assistant Editor Bill Long Publications Director Jane Dumire Student Life Joyce Smith and Bill Long Student Life Coordinators Julie Plachta and Missy Halpenny People Coordinator Eddie Gennoy Academies and Organizations Coordinators Vanessa Kerns and Annette Menas Sports Editor Bill Long Assistant Mike Riley Cover design by Joyce Smith and Scott Cool Group Organizer Tracy Marple Advertising Manager Sam Olivio Assistant Missy Brown Index Karen Faulk Photographers: Bill Shreve, Chad Swiger, Jon Hart, Mike Hood, Danny Snyder, Joyce Smith, Eddie Gennoy and Vanessa Kerns.
