Presque Isle Dreamin' by Dave Schultz briiiiiiiinnng. Here I am again. And here he is again. He's ready to give another hour's worth of notes and obtuse lectures. But no way am I ready to pay attention, let alone take notes. God, it's 80 degrees outside. The sun is shining, there's a nice breeze and . . . what am I doing here? I should be out at the beach. Maybe that's what you think in the spring, when you have to endure your last classes of the semester before May, when you can spend your days in the sun. Or maybe that's what you think in the fall when you realize that another summer is gone, and you will have to wait another year to loaf on the sand. Or maybe you think about it all year long. 10 It . - „ll)_ tL- wMMttM«m_ It may not be California, but Presque Isle State Park has seven miles of the most beautiful beaches in the area. With spring finals comes summer and, for many, making the trek to the peninsula at every possible chance. Once you pass the Welcome to Presque Isle sign and get surrounded by trees, water, bikers, runners, swimmers and sand, sand, sand, it seems like you're in a faraway place. Summer should be a time for sleeping late, lying on sand, getting tan, and, basically, taking it easy. You may not accomplish much in those four months, but it doesn't really matter. There is plenty of time to accomplish things while you're in class for the other eight months. And once you graduate and become a full- fledged member of the work force, you will be trying to accomplish things, endlessly. Summer is a great time to truly enjoy life and forget the mundane aspects of school and work. And after a fun summer is over, you'll have some great memories. Nothing can make you appreciate those lazy, hazy, razy days of summer more than a frigid Erie winter.

Say what? 13 14 New U in town by Dave Schultz Back in the early depression years, the headmaster of Erie's Cathedral Prep school was concerned that the students he was preparing for higher education could not get into the nation's colleges and universities. It wasn't that they weren't smart enough. They just didn't have the money. And so in 1933, while Erie Diocese bishop, John Mark Gannon was in Europe, Prep headmaster Monsignor Joseph Wehrle established Cathedral College as a two year extension of St. Vincent's College in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. There wasn't much fanfare for this new college and anyone who had any sense probably thought starting a college during the depression years was doomed to fail. But the fact that Gannon has continued to the point where it was named a University by the Pennsylvania Department of Education is a tribute to the early backers of the institution. They watched it grow into a four year Gannon School of Arts and Sciences (in cunjunction with Villa Maria College) in 1941, and then into Gannon College in 1944. When Pennsylvania governor Richard Thornburgh announced that the school had the right to use the name University — to an overflow crowd it was a memorial to everyone who refused to give up on Gannon. The college kept going even in the rough times, like the time in 1943 when all but 35 of Gannon's 250 students were drafted. And, more recent, was the financial crisis of the early 1970's when officials had trouble getting the school budget out of the red. Thornburgh's announcement was also the culmination of the one and one half years of planning that went into Gannon's application for status change. It all started during the summer of 1978 when Gannon officials began holding meetings to prepare to make an application for university status to the Department of Education. Meetings on status and structure change became commonplace on campus with administrators, faculty and students getting input into what would be changed if the college became a university. Also of concern was what argument Gannon would use to justify the change in status. Gannon decided that the institution already had the qualities of a medium-sized liberal arts university, and university status and structure would allow it to better serve it's students and the community. After an evaluation committee judged that Gannon should be a university, eight task forces and committees were organized to write and revise a university transition document. The inch-thick document stated what would happen to Gannon if it became a university. Once the school board of trustees drafted the document if was sent to Harrisburg as part of the application for status change, and two weeks later Governor Thornburgh came to Gannon to tell the audience that all the work was not in vain. In )anuary, the divisions of Humanities, Business, and Science and Engineering, and the graduate program were renamed colleges, starting the process of school revisions that will continue for the next couple years. 16 I i fr'-fi ! 18? annon University J Ml}'' i| PERRY SQUARE • ERIE.

Downtown Erie is no D.C. But ii - no Crassflats either. In addition to the usual dorm and commuter activities, students can usually tmd something to occupy their time and keep from studying too much — if not on campus, then in downtown itsell There are coffeehouses, plays, speakers, movies (films for the patricians, Rocky Horror Picture Show for the plebeians), concerts (well, one actually.

The international academic commu- nity has designated March 14, 1979 — March 14, 1980 as the Einstein Centennial Year. Symposia dealing with Einstein's life and scientific accomplishments have been held at leading univer- sities throughout the world. Gannon was proud to be one of the institutions participating in the cele- bration or Einstein's centennial and designated the second University Festival '79 as the Einstein Cen- tennial Festival. 29 University Fever Oh, we just hate posed shots JO Dance Marathon If we flap our arms real hard maybe we can take off! 31 Telethon VI [ hanks to the efforts of students and the generousity of alumni this years telethon raised $53,175 for Gannon University. !- :• : J 2 -?  33 W£ r. ENTRANCE i ' WE PROPER OEW PCAT ON REAW J 34 Bars, Bars, Bars by Dave Schultz What's this place like? he asks, wondering if he looks d. Ah, they never card here, his friend reassures. Who cares if they don't have Gennie Cream Ale, or if the ke box has lousy tunes? First you have to get in. You ther look 21 or have cards that say you are. Or you learn hich bars card and which ones don't. There is a wide variety from which to choose. Erie has ore bars, taverns, inns, pubs, lounges, saloons, discos, jgouts, cafes, clubs, cantinas, grills' wharfs and places hich serve all legal beverages than most cities its size. That does not necessarily mean that Erie is a town full of unks. It is, however, a city with four colleges, the students which need to do something for fun between classes and jdying. There are plenty of things to do in Erie, but going to a bar relatively cheap, you can meet all sorts of people, you n arrive and leave anytime you want and the different mospheres that the various drinking establishments have e unique and inimitable. Bars are not simply created. They 3 molded — molded through a combination of architec- re, decor, neighborhood and clientelle. The Friendly Tavern and Doc's are both busy places, ually with wall to wall people on a Saturday night, endly's tends to attract an older, more sedate crowd, ough, and just about everyone sits at a table. At Doc's the Dwd is younger, almost everyone stands and the juke box back-logged by at least a dozen songs. Juke boxes are a good way to judge a bar. When you walk into the Twelfth Street Tavern and are greeted by Waylon Jennings and Roger Williams, you don't have to see the flock of cowboy hats to know it's a country and western bar. When places like the defunct Altadonna'a don't have a dj spinning disco platters for all the would-be John Trav- oltas dancing the poot, then there are disco songs pumping out of the juker. Sullivan's , with its green walls and green beer (on St. Patty's Day), naturally has about ten Irish ballads on the juke box. And yes, Bing Crosby will croon Turra Lurra Lurra for a quarter. Checking the graffiti is another way to judge a bar. If you want a clean alcoholic libation vending emporium, you'd probably like the bar that has a chalkboard in the men's room (I don't know about the women's room) for the writing of words of wisdom. Most bars have only the rest room walls for their clientelle's creative expression. If the walls get saturated with graffiti, some bar owners will paint over the mess. Others simply wait for the plaster to fall off. And bars with little writing and doodling on the rest room walls are obviously frequented by customers with all the creativity and derring-do of a Mr. Milquetoast. Another reason for picking a certain bar is its proximity to other bars. If you get bored at some places, it's only a short stagger to another bar (and maybe to some more interesting people). What the Hell, you might say as you leave a real dive, As long as we're in the neighborhood ... 35 36 37 38 LANCE 98Q CLUBS AND ORGANIZATIONS Alpha Gamma Delta First row: L Washkow, L Reed, L.

Ranoarivony The founding of Zeta Chi Omega, social sorority, in 1979 paralleled the designation of Gannon as a university. Zeta Chi Omega is the university's first local sorority founded by fourteen Gannon women with a variety of interests and backgrounds. Through the guidance of their advisor, Ellen Dagon, they joined together and formed a common bond of sisterhood. Through this bond the sisters are able to grow academically, and spiritually. They hope their future will hold as bright a promise as the university's. Through beginnings such as this, Gannon is able to expand and diversify it's horizons for it's students. rst row: K.

Sadness for his family and friends, but also a sense of loss for Gannon. I guess that does sound a bit selfish. But after having Dr. Freeman for class, I know that Gannon lost one of its best teachers when Dr. Freeman died. I can still remember Mr. Freeman's (he was still a Mr. then - he was awarded an honorary LLD from Gannon in 1977) classroom techniques. He'd walk around the room and ask students for an answer to the homework problems he as- signed. If you didn't have them done, you tried to shrink into your chair, because he had this certain way of making you feel bad. Like you had to apologize for not having it done. It made some of my days in his trig class pretty uncomfortable. Sounds like a strict old school professor. But the concern he had for his students dispelled that image. He held helping classes and stayed after class many times. He gave fair tests and always gave the students the benefit of the doubt when he corrected them. I remember one test when he gave every- one ten extra points because he thought the test was too hard. I was also a student in Mr. Freeman's class when he first became ill. He missed a few weeks of class and then came back. Of course, he had dicated what he wanted us to be learning to the other math teachers who came to visit him in the hospital. He puffed on his cigar when he told us about his doctor's orders. No smoking, no exertion and no teaching, he laughed. To hell with him, Freeman bellowed. He even taught on days when he had doctor's appoint- ments. Our class met at noon and should have lasted until 1:20 p.m. When he had to go to the doctor, Mr. Freeman would let us out a few minutes before his 1 p.m. appointment. You see, he said, if they take away my teaching, they might as well take away my life. I guess you could say he gave his life to the college and to his students. Dr. Freeman began teaching at Gannon in 1946, only two years after it was founded. He saw a lot of changes take place at Gannon. Three presidents. Fifteen or so buildings added to the Gannon campus. Gannon's enrollment increasing from a few hundred males to 3,500 men and women in undergraduate and graduate programs. And on December 19, 1979, we became a university. Dr. Freeman had only left Gannon a few days before, teaching until the very end. I think it was fitting that Dr. Freeman, someone who gave so much to Gannon, was alive to see its designation as a university. — reprinted, with permission, from the Gannon Knight, January 23, 1980. 10 Tom Barringer by Julie Waechter Few people touch the lives of those around them as did Thomas Barringer. Whether you knew him as a coach, teacher, neighbor or colleague, you knew him first as a friend. The genuine concern and respect with which he treated people — whoever they were — will keep him in their hearts long after his renown as a basketball coach had dimmed. My first memories of Barringer are as the playground director in Lawrence Park, where I grew up. He was the man who pumped up the basketballs, taped the softballs and kept the big kids from picking on the little ones. I don't remember him ever yelling at kids — he didn't have to. No one gave him a hard time, because he thought of kids as worthwhile individ- uals, not as a bunch of brats or troublemakers. This is the same attitude with which he taught and coached. Barringter taught history and coached basketball at Lawrence Park and later, with the merging of the two school districts, at Iroquois High Schools. He also served as guidance councelor. Barringer is hailed for his overall record of 433 wins and 132 losses as varsity basketball coach in the Lawrence Park com- munity, but I think the qualities that marked him as a superior coach, and perhaps directly contributed to his scoreboard success, were his calmness and fairplay. Barringer seldom got upset at his players. When the game got tense, he instead gave them encouragement and sat on the bench wringing a towel. And though it seemed our team never lost, winning was not Barringer's first priority. Once his son, the star player of the team, violated one of the team restrictions. Barringer sus- pended him from playing the next night and it cost Iroquois the game. Some people were bitter, but no one could accuse him of playing favorites or lacking integrity. The interest Barringer showed in other people and his concern for other's welfare gave them a feeling of self esteem. When Barringer was named Gannon's assistant basketball coach in 1978, I went to interview him at his home. To an observer, it would have seemed that he was interviewing me: asking how I liked college, what other kids from high school were doing, how my family was. The value of a man's life cannot be measured by material wealth, but rather by how much he enriched the lives of others. All who knew Thomas Barringer gained a piece of spiritual gold. — reprinted, with permission, from the Gannon Knight, February 6, 1980. Administration Bishop Alfred M.

Gannon's Home I have walked over the same set of steps on which President William Taft stood, been in the room where Taft once got stuck in a bathtub, and sat at a foot dinner table at which three presidents (Teddy Roosevelt, Grover Cleveland, and Taft) had sat. But most Gannon University students, whether they know it or not, can make the same claim. And so can anyone who has ever walked through Gan- non's Old Main administration building — once the home of Erie's foremost high society, ultra-cultured, filthy rich families: the Strongs. Old Main is sometimes called the Strong Administration Building, but the story of how the 46 room mansion was built as a wedding gift for Annie Scott Strong, and the private lives of Annie and her husband Charles Hamot Strong are not the subject of campus gossip as they once were. How many people today know that the former president of Gannon's Perry Square mansion, Annie Strong, was one of the city's leading socialites at the turn of the century? At that time the Reeds, who were descendants of one of the first families to settle in Erie, built their mansion on the north corner of Sixth and Peach Streets. That building is now the Erie Club. Annie's father, William L. Scott, built what is today Gan- non's Old Main across the street in an attempt to out-do the Reed home. It was supposed to be a wedding gift for Annie and Charles, although most records say it took about six years to complete — well after the two were married. William Scott probably never saw it totally finished when he died in 1891. Records say the shell of the building cost $480,000 with every brick on the outside being imported from Europe. The furnishings cost over $800,000. Five years ago the structure was valued at $5 million. Except for frequent guests, Charles, Annie, and their daughter Thora were the only family members living in the mansion. But they were about 40 servants living on the fourth floor and in the carriage house (which is today Downey Hall). Downey Hall was also the garage for the Strongs, who owned one of the first electric cars in the city. Gannon chancellor and former president Monsignor Wilfred Nash remembers seeing it parked in front of the house, when he was a child. The cars and carriages were washed on the first floor of Downey and raised to the second floor for storage — by elevator. The pulley for the elevator is still on the second floor. Pictured at right: Charles Hamot Strong by Dave Schultz 141 nnie Stroi i Iding da 142 Cars and carriages were frequently around the Strong home because Annie's father had influential friends and connections. William Scott had made $50 million in the railroad industry, and was a mayor of Erie before being elected a democratic congressman. At his funeral was Presi- dent Cleveland, one of the three presidents to visit the mansion. Another was President Taft. Taft was a former classmate of Charles Strong Yale University, and he visited the mansion at least twice. In 1911, Taft was a wedding guest when the Strong's daughter, Thora Scott Ronalds got married for the second time. Thora was the only person to be born in the mansion. Taft also visited the Sixth Street house at another time when, legend says, the 400 pound chief executive got stuck in a bathtub on the third floor. Some sources said the story was just a joke, but others contend it really happened. Either way, it makes for a good story and gives some heritage to an otherwise young institution like Gannon. Heritage is probably what Gannon students, teachers and administrators were seeking when they used to re-hash old tales about the Strongs. Like the story about how Annie and Charles never did quite get along . . . It is uncertain whether their marriage was arranged for convenience or whether they simply grew apart later. It is common knowledge though that as time went on, Charles and Annie found more ways to avoid each other. The second floor of the mansion was where the couple had their bedrooms. Annie's three-bedroom complex was at the end of the hall, where the Student Affairs office is now. Charles's rooms were at the opposite end where the Campus Ministry has its office now. One story holds that the reason all the rooms on the second floor are connected by doors is so that Annie could have avoided bumping into her hubby accidentally. Eventually Charles moved out of the mansion and into his Somewhere Estate, which was between the Erie Day School and Presque Isle Bay. This land is today the site of Zurn Industries corporate headquarters and the under-con- struction South Shore Place high-rise apartments. On those occasions when Annie would go to the Some- where Estate, Charles would come in town. But Charles was supposedly never attached to the mansion. Annie's father really built it for her, and he specified in his 24 page will that the Sixth Street property should stay in the possession of Annie or her daughter Thora, free from the control of any husband. 143 The Strong Mansion as it looked in 1941. 144 When Annie had a cerebral hemorrhage and became the only person to die in the mansion, in 1928, the house then belonged to Thora. But Thora had moved to New York (where her daughter, Thora Scott Ronalds McElroy, still lives) and Charles stayed at his Somewhere Estate until he died in 1936. The house remained unoccupied from 1936 to 1941, when most of the Strong's furniture was sold. Some of the furniture, including the dining room table, can be seen in the Founder's Room in the Nash Learning Resource Center. This is the table that was in the formal dining room, which is today a confer- ence room. What was once the family breakfast room is today the president's office — the most well preserved room in the house. The original tapestried wall paper is still there. The family emblem, carved by European craftsmen, is also well preserved on the main stairway and on the ceiling of the Business Affairs office, which used to be the grand ballroom. The office of the vice president of Business Affairs was the Strong's chapel as well as being Gannon's first chapel when classes were held on the third and fourth floors. The Erie Diocese was the only interest which seemed to want the empty mansion. The trustees of the Strong estate had no trouble selling the furniture, but there were no buyers for the house itself. It sat unused until 1940, when the city acquired it for delinquent taxes. The new owner, Thora Scott Ronalds apparently did not think the building was worth the taxes. The city did not think it was worth much either, and considered tearing it down to make a parking lot. Bishop John Mark Gannon saved the building from destruction when he bought it in 1941 for $35,000 establishing it as the nucleus of the newly formed Gannon College. The diocese also bought the adjoining properties, including the carriage house and the Strong's sunken garden, on top of which the administration annex building was built. 145 rhe staff of the Strong Mansion. he si rong's automobile 146 The Strong Family Crest. The Strong Mansion as it appears today. Its history still arousing the inter- ests of those who come in contact with it. It still maintains its original dignity. 147 GANNON UNIVERSITY CELEBRATES DEDICATION WEEK The week of April 19 through 25 marked a very special week for Gannon University. It was the formal celebration of designation as a university. The week was kicked off with an exciting event ... a 10 Kilometer Race, entitled quite approriately, The University Run. Four hundred twenty ran the 6.2 mile course, and two Gannon students walked away with trophies. Sunday, April 20 brought about the Dedication Mass and the Dedication Convocation. Rev. |ohn Driscoll, President of Villanova University was guest speaker at the convocation. During the rest of the week, a series of recitals took place at Gannon, as did an Academic Convocation, and both the student sponsored events . . . the University Fever Dance and a concert by Livingston Taylor.

Row, row, row your boat 159 160 Parting Words To Gannon University, I, like most of the students who have entered your doors, have both hated and loved you, cursed and laughed at you, and most recently, been consumed with a passion to leave you. And now I'm about to do just that. How do I feel? Just about as indecisive and mixed up as that first statement read. You see, I've spent too many nights searching for wisdom at two a.m. (when it wasn't to be found), too much time searching for books in the library (when they weren't to be found) and too much time remi- niscing about these past four years. We'll be remembered as the first graduating class of Gannon University. We've seen a relatively com- placent student attitude turn just a bit more activistic with the formation of the Draft Information Group and the Energy Awareness Group, and the debate on student government reorganization. We've seen gasoline prices rise to amounts that just a few years ago would have seemed astronomical. And unfortunately, with the world-wide hostage crisis, the possibility of our being called to war has loomed large, after we thought our country would never make an- other mistake like that again. And on a more pleasant note, we danced to the disco beat four years ago. Now we're seeing Death to Disco parties. As the song says, Rock and roll will never die. Let's hope. But as I close the doors on this part of my life, I can't feel bitter. Because, Gannon, you have made me grow. You have taught me a discipline that I hope to successfully make my career. You have given me the chance to meet, understand and sometimes love a variety of people. You have put the finishing touches on my value system, which is at least as important, if not more, than the education you have instilled in me. The end has arrived. I've wanted this to come for so long that I could almost taste leaving. Funny. All of a sudden, the taste has gone sour. by Lisa Pater ihi Gary Abram B.S.

It began in 1952 with the gener- ous donation of $2,500 by Mr. Edward Lamb. This money, and several later donations to- taling an additional $10,000, was provided to allow Gannon students to learn about in- vestments through actual purchases. Over the years the wise investments of the students have returned enough profit to finance several trips to the New York Stock Exchange and annual banquets. In addition to these activities the members have toured various brokerage firms and annual corpo- rate (stoc kholders) meetings. The year 1979 was our greatest year ever. Our membership skyrocketed from three to sixteen. Financially, we achieved an out- standing 50% return on our portfolio, it's value increasing from $24,000 to $40,000. This dramatic increase in earnings has allowed the group to begin awarding schol- arships to freshman and sophomore busi- ness students, encouraging higher academic achievement. As Gannon University moves into the eighties and beyond, so too will the Student Investment Trust. 196 DELTA CHI AND CHI DELPHIA Congratulations to our 1980 graduates!!!

Editor's Last Words by Denise MacKenzie 1980 Lance Editor-in-Chief When I took the job of editor, I was told that I was perfect for the job. I was calm, cool, and collected (not to mention organized). As time progressed I found out that not only was I not calm, cool, and collected, I was as far as a person can get from organized. It was a good thing that I had some people on my staff who weren't afraid to work. With out them, this yearbook would never have been completed. I will forever be thankful to the likes of Dave Schultz, Cathy DiNardo, Kathy Ingram, and Bill Williams. Other people who deserve more than just thanks are: My parents, who put up with the stacks of yearbook junk that I brought home over the course of the year and who helped provide me with typewriters all those nights I typed up copy at home, Mr. Babowicz, who supplied us with pictures of sports events and plays. Without him several pages of this book would have been empty, and Last but not least, my brother, James, who spent several nights typing up envelopes for mailings, typing final copy, and doing final layouts when he would have rather been watching television or out with his friends. To him I owe the most thanks because he gave up more than anyone to help get this yearbook out. I hope that the next editor realizes just what he or she is getting into. But more than anything, I hope that he or she has as many people pulling for him as I've had. 1980 Lance Staff Editor-in-Chief: Denise MacKenzie Assistant Editor: Bill Williams Copy Editor: Dave Schultz Organizations Editor: I red Lictenwalter Sports Editor: Cathy DiNardo Advisor: Monica Lewis Staff: Kathy Ingram Photographers: Greg Fisher Sue Vargulich Carolyn Weinder Special Contributions From: Mr Babowicz I nn I ogerty Lisa Pater Julie Waechter z(X) 9
