Williams Being a student . Yi. 5' in 1975... 'J . iv i i i JOBS 'v Looking for practical solutions in ct real world ONE ARE the bomb scares, the rallies, the profes- sors pleading with their classes to keep KSU open. lt is a new breed of college student--pragmatic, complacent and deeply concerned with career and financial future. For the most part, the KSU student of today was a high school or junior high school student during the late sixties who never faced the draft and was never involved in polit- ical activism. Most still do not exercise the franchise won through the lobbying efforts of their elders. The same economy which in the past welcomed college graduates with open arms plays havoc with them now. The unfavorable odds in the job market have led many students away from rhetoric and idealism and toward practical solu- tions for survival in the real world. There has been a change in attitude, claims Thomas Hairston of the Placement Bureau. Students are most in- clined to work within the establishment than to stand off and take pot-shots at it. ln a hard market, students or graduates are hesitant to question goals or beliefs of poten- tial employers, such as those manufacturing weapons or military equipment. The carrot is no longer outstretched before the college graduate. For some, staying in school is a goal. The demand for training in medicine, law, architecture and other profes- sional fields surpasses by far the capacities of higher educa- tion to handle students in these areas. Story by Keith Sinzinger A major trend away from education and liberal arts finds more students in fine and professional arts. Journalism, art and telecommunications enjoy healthy enrollments, while education, the leading college for four years ago, has fallen to less than 20 per cent of KSU enrollment. Although enrollment in the College of Business Admini- stration has retained a fairly constant percentage over the last five years, more students are pursuing two or more concentrations of interest to increase their job chances. According to Hairston, careers in marketing and sales, although not valued by students as most desirable, are promising because demand is insatiable Employment opportunities in the service industries--food, health, clothing and finance are attracting many students fearful of what a history or English degree would hold for their future. While students of today may appear to be a resurrection of their parents with a change only in clothes, the outlook of many is borrowed straight from the sixties. People want jobs where they can continue to be themselves, says Dr. John Binder of Academic Advising and Orientation. The organization man of the fifties is not the ideal anymore. The popular analogy of college life today to the fifties fails on other points. The best of the sixties has been bor- lSee next page.i With the job market as tough as it has been, Kent students are increasingly concemed with employment and many make use of the KSU Placement Bureau, opposite and above. 4 lv .hs 1 v ,M-4 ' ' 'J x 9 .. e fo fx Q9 6 82562, 40 54 ,iiik .

Abuse of drugs is down in general, with alcohol taking up much of the slack. Buyers are more suspect of street drugs, which have gone down in reliability while increasing in price. Use of marijuana is still increasing, according to a spokesperson from Townhall II, because it's so common, no one thinks of it as being against the law. However, most of the drug users are of the recreational type-a thrill for the weekend, but not a central part of their lives. Hallucinogens are seeing a revival of sorts, with mush- rooms being the most popular vehicle. Use of stimulants has remained fairly consistent, yet finals week is still the most popular period. Dr. Jay Cranston of the Health Center says a slight increase in stu- dents seeking help for anxiety usually occurs just before finals. He noticed students are less reluctant now to seek help for anxious problems, both of classroom and social origin. if. In general, students seem disinterested in politics, national affairs, student government and most anything that takes them away from their books Whether or not the student of today is more willing to seek medical help for his problems, he is willing to seek legal aid to address his grievances through the courts, as wit- nessed in lawsuits initiated by both dormitory and off-- campus students. Yet, in general, students seem disinterested in politics, national affairs, student govern- ment and most anything that takes them away from their books. The student has a new prime concern: himself.

Orendt Townies who've been here a while view o changing Kent Looking back in time OHN SHOUP. 63, is very much concerned with the past. Not only does he run a quaint antique shop on Gougler Street in Kent, but studying the city's past is his favorite hobby. Early Kent is my main area of interest, around the 1820s. It was called Franklin Mills then and the finest glass in the world was made here, Shoup says. He gets much of his information from old court records and history books. His knowledge of Kent is astounding. Shoup told story after story of the Kent family, how the railroad finally came to be and why all the money people have left. It's the taxes. Each time the university grows and buys more land, less taxes come in since they don t pay any. So t nuch indus- the townspeople have to pay more. There s no 1 trv left in Kent: they all moved out after World War II, so who pays the taxes? Story by Inge Orendt Shoup puts his history book away, rises from his chair with his pipe in hand and points out some of his antiques. The majority of his sales are made to wholesalers who come from the East or West Coast. Selling to the public is not his main source of income. Shoup also makes pottery. See these cups? They look like granite ware, but I made them out of clay. I sold them for 33.50 for awhile and them I raised them to 54.50 and they sold much better. I think I'll raise them to 35.50 next week and see what happens, he chuckles. Raising geraniums is another hobby of Shoup and they decorate his store by nearly every window. ' h d u many, many These windows have been smas e p b t as Shoup points out I jest keep patchin' 'em times, u , and patchin' 'em til I can't patch no more and I hafta buy new ones. . . h doesn't blame the students for breaking his wm- S oup dows or causing any disturbances, such as May 4, 1970. 'During those riots in '70 I'd see truckloods of those ogitotors come here.' --Shoup It was the agitators! During those riots in '70 I'd see truckloads of those agitators come here to the corner of Gougler and Mantua, get off the truck and it would go back for more. They came from the turnpike. They weren't Kent kidsf' Shoup stands firm on this belief and claims that he would sit on his front porch on Willow St. and watch the same people we'd see on TV in California go by. But they weren't students. We had lots of students on our street and they were all a fine bunch. He puffs on his pipe, nods and says, Nope, nobody bothers me.', John Shoup, opposite, watches Kent go by through the windows of his antique shop.

Retiring to her rocking chair, Mrs. Kerr, in her sing-song lilt, tells why she thinks she's lived so long. I never went to dances or shows or went gallavantin, here, there and yon. I've always tried to live a good life. I always tried to read something that would edify me. Good clean readini. Vitamins? Ooooooh nooo, she says with shock and amazement, her eyes widening. I don't take vitamins to keep me alive! I hate medicine. I'm jest gettin' my prayers paid back now for my good life. God has been good to me. I have to give Him all the praise. He'll keep me all the way til he takes me home. She rocks in her chair, smiles and repeats, He'll keep me all the way til he comes to take me home. F ANYONE has seen Kent change over the years, it's Clarence V. Skaggs, a retired trackman of the Erie Lackawanna Railroad. Skaggs has been in Kent for 67 of his 70 years. Yep,,' he remembers, Kent ain't what it used to be. I remember when Water Street was all-l-ll mud and dirt. Skaggs is known as a regular at Walter's Cafe on Water Street. He's been retired for about 6 years and visits the bar every morning around 10:30. He's often there in the after- noon, too, but not at night. I used to come here at night, but no-o-o-0 more. Jesus Christ! They turn that damn jukebox upuso you can hear it from the next block because of all the students in here. Although Skaggs thinks some of the students are all right and some of 'em no goodf, he's most verbal on the latter. Average people are afraid to come down here at night, he scolds as he sips his can of Rolling Rock, 'fwith all those motorcycle gangs and hippies that raise a ruckus and break windows. It's that dope that,s doing it. With shaky hands, Skaggs lights another cigarette and shakes his head. I see things changin, all the time for the worse. Yep, there's more trouble all the time. Students tear up the restrooms and always breakin' the windows. 'Course not all students do it, some of 'em do and some of 'em don't. Yeah, I'd like to see it go back to what it used to be. It used to be a lot better. In the next tive years, itill be even worse than it is now. Anybody who's been around here can see that. Skaggs strokes his unshaven face, gives me a toothless grin and adds, But I like it here at Walter's. I eat here. It's home. Mary Kerr, opposite, delights visitors with her shamrocks and other plants Skaggs, above, makes his daily visit to Walter's Bar on Water Street. What' diploma 2 . iw, college worth? .1-Q, , 99 O99 These days it ain't no ticket to Easy Street RADUATION. GETTING a degree that leads to better skills, better jobs, better pay. At least, that's what many of us believe. But for a great number of Kent graduates that dream has not yet become reality. Jobs in their chosen field of study have been impossible to find or unsuitable once found. And so the graduate wanders into a different job, one that's available or more desirable, and leaves his training and degree behind him. Why the job shift? Sometimes it's necessity, sometimes disillusionment. sometimes opportunity. John Fischer graduated cum laude from KSU in 1971 with a BA. in anthropology and is currently a Volkswagen mechanic at European Car Service in Akron. Story by Laura Nagy and David Shaffer I had wanted to be an archaeologist ever since I could spell the word. It always fascinated me. When I started school in the '60s, whatever field you went into there was no doubt about your getting ajobf' But there were no jobs for anthropologists without post-graduate work, and though John was admitted to the graduate schools to which he applied, no financial aid was available. So he got a job pumping gas. It was on his first journey into the mechanic's world that he learned to work on VWs, and his specialized skills kept the bills paid for a time. It turned into a way I could make a buck. It was something I could learn to do and I could do it fairly well. lSee next page.l fb .-. Ls 1. 34 v . , K 2 ' ' 5' .4. f, V ..mQ?'f' lContinued from page 12.l Then came a frustrating position as a social worker with the University Year for Action at KSU. John saw the youths at the Fairfield School for Boys in Lancaster as victims of an inefficient state system. The way the juvenile system in Ohio is constructed, there can be no results with these kids. Fixing VWs has much better results than social work. It was back to the grease pits. A stint in Cleveland and one in Ann Arbor preceded a move back to Kent. Finally John landed at the Akron shop where he now works. It's hard. it's dirty and the hours are long. but when I'm done I can see what I've done and it works. But John hasn't left the academic world behindg in fact, he made a return to it in winter of '74 as a KSU graduate student in anthropology. I wanted to use my head again, he said. I like school. There isn't much career motivation in my continuing school. In the past five years there were 1,400 Ph. Ds gradu- ated in anthropology and only 200 jobs available. But, he added, my job lets me afford my most expen- sive hobby-graduate school. For the time being, John will continue to fix VWs, read and drink beer. He does admit that his goal still is to be a world famous archaeologist working in a warmer climate, like Mexico. And, he said, I would also like to get up one morning and be able to grab my steering wheel and not get grease on my hands. Jtlllll P. Fiscllel' lirzuly Luke.

Anything for thatolmighty buck ogg HO WOULD think that mopping floors, driving a bus or doing other jobs deemed undesirable by those outside the university community would be some of the most sought-after jobs on campus? None other than the most honorable figure of the American Dream--the working student. With today's economy, students in need can't always de- pend on dear old Mom and Dad for that weekly allowance, but instead must venture out to seek their own fortunes. Be he doctorate, graduate or undergrad, you will more often than not find a KSU student holding down some type of temporary job while working toward his degree. Skilled or unskilled students have held positions ranging from cafe- teria workers to jobs cleaning out mice cages in the biology building. According to the Office of Student Financial Aids, there are currently 1,200 students employed part-time by the uni- versity and 800 students employed under the work-study program which guarantees jobs on campus if financial need Story by Linda Jones 1 lSee next pageJ Kathy Smosarski, right, finds it necessary to put in a 40-hour factory week so she can put herself through undergraduate and t.hen graduate school, with her own money.

Very few of the positions pay top dollar. Students have accepted pay as low as Sl an hour and many work more than one job to fulfill financial needs. For Kathy Smosarski, working full time and going to school makes it more difficult to make friends, yet at the same time allows her economic independence. Kathy works a 40-hour week at Smither's Oasis, a Kent factory that produces flower arranging materials. I really have no time to get bored at work because we change jobs every one and a half hours and there are a lot of nice peo- ple, Kathy comments. Kathy, a sophomore in accounting, decided in January of her freshman year that she would put herself through school. That way, if I mess up in a class or decide to quit, I won't have wasted anyone else's money. I also need to save money so I can go straight through to get my master's de- I lgreef' w 1 1 1 Working doesn't bother me. I've grown to accept itg however, I have to take extra care in scheduling my study- ing and other things. I can do some homework on lunch break at the factory. Since Kathy works the second shift, from 4 p.m. to 12:30 a.m., she has a hard time getting involved in campus organizations. Most activities are scheduled in the evenings, so I can never go to meetings. I'm labeled sometimes, too. lPeople just assume that since I work full-time, I can't do this or go there. Besides, being a commuter from Mantua l l makes it even harder to make friends. Despite the long hours added to her full day of classes, iKathy says she likes her job- It makes me appreciate my lfree time a lot more. Rick Brouman, a junior majoring in criminal justice, works night security in Twin-Towers, a job which requires securing the dorm from intruders. He works I0 to 12 hours per week. School is a good place to make moneyf, accord- ing to Rick. A lot of people need it--especially mef' Rick says he prefers part-time employment to a work-study job because work-study is still below minimum wage. A person putting himself through school by work-stu- dy would have a hard time doing it because they're only paid 31.90 to start. Rick is currently paid about 32.10 an hour. Mike Brouman, Rick's twin brother, also works night se- curity in Twin-Towers, but his views on working are not 'identical' to those of his brother. It's kind of a worthless job. Basically it's a police job and the security staff has nothing to do besides call the police. An accounting major, Mike said he feels his job does not give him any practical experience. He explained the work wasn't difficult, but said he dislikes the hours because they take away from his partying time on weekends. Michael Wright is a Resident Staff Advisor IRSAJ in Lee- brick Hall. As an RSA, Michael serves as a counselor to dorm floor residents and keeps order, enforces university regulations and helps to create a good living atmosphere on the floor. lSee next page.l Michael Wright, below right, an R.S.A. in Leebrick Hall, holds meetings often just to talk with the students on his floor. Sometimes, he says, they talk business. , '1 Ll. A. Keich lContinued from page 19.l In charge of three floors, Michael says, Uyou have to be extroverted enough to be able to reach out to the students who are not familiar with their new surroundings. UI enjoy the job because I enjoy people, which I think should be a prerequisite for the position. KSU's RSAs do not receive a salary, but their room and board is paid for by Residence Halls. My major is criminal justice and I think the RSA job relates to it. Since corrections and juvenile delinquency are other facets of my major. I feel my understanding of stu- dents and people will definitely be an attribute, Michael sa s. yHe identified the shortcomings of being an RSA in Lee- brick as smaller rooms compared to those in other dorms and with rising costs due to inflation, he feels a small sti- pend for RSAS would help. Michael finances his education by the monthly income he receives from ROTC and the Veteran's Administration. Paula Bair makes ends meet by working as a sales clerk at O'Neil's department store. It's difficult working and going to school, especially at exam time, she says. I go to classes from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. and I have to leave for work from 5 until 10 p.m. I usually cram for a test from 10:30 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. two nights prior to a test. Paula says her summer job at a bank paid for a third of her expenses and a university grant pays another third. Her job at O'Neil,s takes care of her rent, board, utilities and the upkeep of her car.

Not many people would look on modeling as work but, according to Mike Milligan, who is a model in the art department, it is just like any other job. There's a rhythm and a pace to it which is really diffi- cult, he says. Mike, a senior, models in the life drawing and painting classes. He also models fashion for photojournalism classes. The pay for nude modeling, which is what Mike does in life drawing and painting, is 33.55 per hour. Because his parents completely finance his education, Mike refers to the money he makes modeling as play money. Contrary to other student's opinions that working and attending classes is difficult, Mike would prefer to do both. There was only one year that I didn't work and that year my grades went down. When youire working, you know that there's not a lot of free time, so you know that you have to budget things a little more closely.

The hours vary but do not conflict, and the job is directly related to Mike's art major. It's one of the few jobs that I've had that I can work when I want to. Doug McClung is a KSU graduate student currently writ- ing his thesis in telecommunications. He has a job in televi- sion services, which consists of production of closed circuit TV lectures. He works 8 to 20 hours per week and, to further make ends meet, he is receiving welfare. As an undergraduate student, Doug had an evening job operating textile machines in a factory and he worked in the TV labs during days, but I was under academic pressure and pressure from having to be at a job at the same time. he explains. On the subject of university jobs, Doug said, I think that the university is putting their money into materials when they should be putting it into people. Working and going to school keeps Gary Yasaki fairly busy, probably because he works two jobs along with com- pleting his coursework in Photo-Illustration. As a lab assistant in Taylor Hall, Gary checks out photo equipment and developing materials to photography stu- dents. He also assists students with developing color tilm. I like photography and working at the lab, so the job doesn't really bother me. Gary says. Gary works about I6 hours per week in the lab and feels the job is an advantage because he has access to the photo facilities at any time. Working is kind of a necessity for me, he says, which is the reason he is holding a second job at Akron City Hospi- i i . .3 .4 -- , .wal tal. Gary spends eight hours a week in the hospital's opthal- mology department, where he photographs diseased retinas of eye surgery patients. Receiving some financial assistance from his parents, Gary makes most of his money by working. I-Ie receives no financial aid from Kent. How does Cindy Parmenter, night waitress at Jerry's Diner in downtown Kent, feel about working and going to school? It's kind of hard to do it and have any kind of time to yourself, but I like doing it. Cindy works 24 hours a week serving customers, cooking, cleaning, stocking food and washing dishes. I love my job became of the people that come in and the people that I work with, explains Cindy, who is a sophomore interested in forestry and conservation. She admits her job interferes with studying and that she has to study at work on slow nights. Socially, Cindy doesn't feel left out by working because she says her job is very social in itself and many of her friends visit her at the diner.

He and his wife, Mary Helen Brewster, bought land at 450 W. Main St. and began construction of what is now known as the Wolcott House, one of Kent's historical landmarks. Simon, a very influential man in Ohio was a state senator and close friend of Marvin Kent, the city's namesake. He and Kent were part of the clique that put two Ohioans in the White House: the assassinated Presidents Garfield and McKinley, both of whom spent nights in the Wolcott house. Simon and Mary Helen oversaw the construction of the house, which was completed in 1868, and tried to give it the best, including an imported tire- place. Simon's son, Duncan Brewster Wolcott Sr., was born and died in the house. He was a lawyer, Portage County prosecutor and the chair- person of the Chamber of Commerce. It is well known that he was influen- tial in establishing the Normal School that later became Kent State University.

He walked all over Kent un- til he found the perfect spot for a college, which was the land at the east end of town owned by William S. Kent. Duncan then organized a com- mittee to convince the state that Kent was the ideal spot for the college, gathered all the necessary facts about Kent that the state committee would need to know and, armed with the facts fo four railroads in town, an in- terurban that connected with Cleveland and Cincinnati, and a suffi- cient water supply, he contacted the state committee and invited them down. This was where the real politicking began. The Kent committee laid out all the facts and nearly sold the state committee on Kent before it had seen lSee next page.l 49- 'E-'E' 5z'Qg5'fD B qq E-U '5o ' :rsfbo-0 imogagg .- gm ,H 2, 019' U59 an -4 -'U' oline 0815- Og nnzfgcf g '!2,Q5G- CJ :U fb 3- a' :rw-., Elgwggr gg'pq-'EGG-5. 55 -FN: C 250 N 25502221 taei QE Soaggga w use 22 B e ol-9.'.'2.UQnT:' Q- 5-'-+ Sai... enOE'r.zu5g, T40 5 rn rn .

After the committee toured the proposed site, Duncan's group in- vited them out to a home in Twin Lakes for some fresh bass. entertain- ing and dining the committee until it was too late for the group to even look at other suggested sites. They left Kent all but convinced of its suitabil- ity. Duncan then began what amounted to the final move. The owner of the land, William S. Kent, was interested in selling the parcel to the state. Duncan had a friend named Herrick write an open letter to Kent thanking him for donating the land for a new college. After the letter was published, Kent did donate the land and the city had a Normal School. Before all this came to pass, Daisy Lodge became a resident of the house. On May 9, 1906, Daisy became Mrs. Duncan B. Wolcott, Sr. She was very big in community affairs, but her greatest contribution to Kent was the famous Wolcott Lilac Gardens. Soon after joining Duncan there, she began the rambling garden which contained a Ginkhol tree, two cherry trees joined together by a branch about ten feet above the ground, a wall and rock paths that meandered around the garden. In 1920, her uncle,Col. Plumof the lSee next page.l a K, if Q? 5 Tn! eseep .ff K A lilac garden with over lOO varieties of lilacs-a place of peace and beauty that many townsfolk visited. ich: ik...

The result was a lilac garden with over 100 varieties of lilacs--a place of peace and beauty that many townsfolk visited. Duncan Sr. died in 1930 and Daisy decided to open the gardens to the public during May of that year. The most admission that was charged was a quarter but Daisy would turn no one away. Daisy and her children kept up the gardens and had the yearly tours until her death in 1955. The gardens were advertised nationally, usually for Mother's Day, and as many at 2,500 out-of-towners toured the gardens then. After Daisyis death, the gardens were forgotten, and the Wolcott home and lands were sold. The house and gardens still inhabit the hill, allowing modern day visitors to see and smell a truly pleasant part of Kent. After Dc1isy's death, the gardens were forgotten. May 4 I974 - x 4 .. A ..f' u .- f , lg , A XX . .. . 35' Kent Stare gathers again under the eyes al the world HEN IT began, it was my third May 4. Colder than hell again this year so when I suited up before the candle- light vigil, I packed on extra layers of clothing. Although l've attended all memo- rial activities since I came here as a freshman in the fall of 1971, the candlelight vigil has always been espe- cially significant to me. May 4 itself is somewhat more biting in my eyes than in many, because a girl from my hometown and high school, Sandy Scheuer, died then. My roomate, Kathie, and I arrived on the Commons just as the vigil procession was about to begin. I took a candle, as I had always done, although I was to view this march more as a journalist, a recorder of the Story by Nancy Lee event, than as a participant. Two clangs of the victory bell opened the walk. Dead silence hit with the first ring, shuffling of feet began after the second. The start of the procession, and most of it there- after, was very intense. Somehow, I got caught up in the rhythmic silence as we walked at the semi-front of the line. I plodded along with my eyes planted firmly on the ground instead of milling to get the feel of the crowd. What's even more bizarre is I didn't realize any of this until I was halfway past front campus, but I collected myself and dug deep for the necessary clinical attitude. The first marchers l noticed were Dr.Olds and his son, Dick. S'Hi, Dr. Olds. Nod, nod. Is Mrs. Olds here? No, she's ill tonight and regrets not being able to make it.

I got to the Commons the following day well before the rally began to find a preliminary crowd seated near the half-assembled speakers' podium on a day that hauntingly enough was an exact meterological replica of May 4, 1970: bright, warm sun and cloudless sky. It added an extra tenseness to the day's atmosphere. Television crews and one documen- tary crew from Germany were setting up to film the day. Dr. Olds was there Gathering for the vigil, opposite bottom. May 4 activities coordinator Michele Klein rings the victory bell, below, to begin May 4 rally activ- ities, as James Bond bows his head. ' surprisingly early, once again without Mrs. Olds and with his son, and attending only the university event. Allison Krause's parents were seated behind the victory bell and lawyers representing parents of the other dead were there to speak briefly. And then the SHOW began. Yes, folks, it was Welcome to the Big Top after Peter Davies talked of May 4 and the university event ended, and it was a really big shew. Daniel Ellsberg talked of the Watergate tapes and made passing reference to May 4. Julian Bond talked in a game-like string of words with matching first let- ters, a semi-mockery of the crowd it seemed but nonetheless dynamic--and iSee next page.I 35 D. Mead PETER DAVIES The four who died were innocent victims of a chain of events that few Americans can look back at with pride. There is no denying my sense of vindication now that the federal grand jury and the Supreme Court of the United States have set the wheels of justice in motion. The time will come, I say to you today, when this university will be looked upon as a symbol of the triumph of American justice over the travesty that has haunted you for so many unhappy years. JULIAN BOND We are here today to honor death and to cele- brate life. To celebrate life by driving the President from power and by replacing the Congress which lacks the testicular fortitude to impeach him or improve our lives.

Jane Fonda spewed her rhetoric on Vietnam, as she had done at a rally here a year ago, and also made passing reference to May 4. Judy Collins sang her heart out, as did Holly Near, and people hugged and kissed and linked arms and rocked--and I clapped and enjoyed it, God damn it, and when it was all over I felt ashamed. It was a good time for all who attended, but the essence of May 4 was lost. If leaving behind the reality of the day--a day when his- tory was made on our campus as representatives of the U.S. shot four of our own--was the purpose, it was well accom- plished. I know I literally forgot why I was there. Buttons. literature and signs circulated through the crowd while Jane Fonda, below center, talked of Vietnam's destruction.

Workshops followed the rally, with Jane F0nda's husband, Tom Hayden, heading one. After attending a few, I returned to the Stater office. I must have been in the office five minutes, seated on the ad manager's desk at the front of the room, when two guys walked in, one carrying a guitar. My face must have said, Who are you? because one said, We've come to serenade the Stater staff. His guitarless friend said, Actually, we're here from Northwestern Univer- sity to cover May 4. Then I knew what was coming. They wanted the scoop,', as does every visiting college journalist. They wanted to know something about May 4 no oneelse knew. Well, I was disgusted, took the gui- tar from the guy and began to strum it. My friend, Jan, who was with me suddenly popped up with this fat lie: You know Nancy was here then, pointing to me. The two looked at me, all but drooling, and I said, I don't want to talk about it, figuring I'd play along with whatever Jan had in mind for them. They begged and begged and I finally relented, giving them the emo- tional drama they wanted to hear: Well, the guard was charging up the hill. I went around the side of Taylor Hall when suddenly I heard the shots. I thought they were firecrackers until I saw Mary Vecchio bending over the lifeless body of Jeff Miller.

One man next to me looked at a frame house across the street and suggested it be used for firewood next, his friend readily agreed. Meanwhile the word sifted through that scores of city police decked out in fuU riot gear flanked us. Punches con- tinued to fly, but not one policeman came within about 50 yards of the action that night. After the injured left, the bars closed and on-lookers drifted away, bar attendants swept up the debris, with only the fire dying that night.

HE FIRST KSU Campus Day, originally called Extension Day, was held May 16, 1914, and fea- tured a Maypole dance, group singing on front campus and an address on Theoretical and Practical Educa- tion. Campus Day has since become a week-long parade of activities, but the original ideas of fun, festivity and ,W bringing students together have been 1 retained through the years. Return to Hollywood, the theme of Campus Day 1974, started off with an air show by the Air Force ROTC on Sunday, May 12, at Andrew Patton Airport. A film festival featuring the Marx Brothers, Laurel and Hardy and W.C. Fields was held Tuesday night. Wednesday featured the traditional Oldies But Goodies Night at the Rath- skeller. A tug of war on the Commons started Thursday's activities, with a lo- cal band concert in the Rathskeller following the contest. All night movies, sponsored by the Alumni Association and featuring stars from Rudolf Valentino in Blood and Sand to the Pink Panther in Pink Panther Festival, were shown Friday night. A parade led by the 1974 K-Girl topped Saturday's long o r ' Story by Teresa Hamilton list of festivities. Sororities started the tradition of the K-Girl, a girl chosen each year to paint the K in Kent written on front campus. Unfortunately the parade couldn't be stopped long enough in 1974 for the painting to be done. Saturday afternoon activities featured a carnival on the Rugby field sponsored by All Campus Programming Board and the alumnae. All student organizations were invited to set up booths for food, fun, sales adn prizes, with proceeds going to the organizations and ACPB. Entertainment included a songfest and India dancers at the field, as well as a gymnastics demonstration in Me- morial Gym. Students finished the day at the Rathskeller for Drink-n-Drown and an arm wrestling contest. Comments on the worth of the week varied: It was okay, but I thought it was more together in the past--more 5 alumni-ish, you know? The games were a damn ripoff. I think it was a great time. I don't know. At least it gave me something to do be- cause this place is such a bore on weekends. Just another way for the university to dip its hands in our pockets.

U Full circle Drinking to dope to drinking Y MIND is goin' through them changes... sings Buddy Miles, and we all know what he's about. It seems the world is changing with every blinking of an eye and our minds are hard put to keep up. But are those changes always in a straight line or do they sometimes curve around and come back, making a full circle? Here's the premise. At Kent State's Chestnut Burr office, the lady editor says check to see if the bar scene has come full circle. Kent used to be a big town for drinking but then it seemed as though everyone suddenly turned to drugs. The lady detects the shift back to drinking again. Go downtown and see if it's true, she says. First letis get some nostalgia. We're in Kent in the party era of the early '60s. Susie Sweetbuns got her daddy's big Buick for Friday night, so she and the girlfriend put on their hip huggers and angel blouses and join the swarms of young adults who shuttle back and forth on Water Street in downtown Kent. They show their fake IDs at the door to the Kove and get in to listen to the Velours and drink a lot of beer. They sit in a booth with Frank and Joe, who they met at the cigarette ma- chine, and somehow the pitchers of beer keep disappearing. They dance, they talk, they drink, they kiss. Frank's hands keep creeping up under Susie's angel blouse and down over her hip huggers. After enough beer and enough cheap feels, the panting proposition, Hey, Let's go to your car. And in the back seat of the Buick two new members of a future PTA are spawned. Kent, the Sin City, has done it again. A brief spin of the old time dial and we're in Kent a few years later. Down on Water Street, the hippies and freaks are bumping into each other because they've been doing too many reds or sopors. The hair is longer now and the blue jeans carry patches, but the bars just aren't doing the same business. The heads get high and then come into the bar to trip out and listen to the band while nursing a beer. Down in the dark, behind the bars by the railroad tracks, Bonnie and Tony share a joint. g'Wow, man, says Tony. This is some good shit. Here, lemme pass the smoke to ya. And their mouths meet to exchange the smoke, but it Story by A.M. Murray turns into a kiss. They groove on the sensation of touching each other between tokes. Finally, they go to Tony's place to really get high, but they have to get up early the next morning, May 4, to join the protest against Richard Nixon's policy toward Cambodia. Whatis the scene in Kent today? Well, go down to Water Street and see. The old crowd is still milling about in front of the bars, but itis not as packed as before. It's not sloppy drunk and noisy as in the party era, and not as paranoid and suspicious as the drug era. Thereire still people drinking beer here, though, and sometimes you see a joint on the street. The scene inside the bars depends on the establishment. The old standby Ron-De-Vou is strictly a drinker's world, mostly mixed drinks, and it still gets packed in the wee hours. JB's next door is closed more often than not, perhaps a fitting testimonial to the James Gang, who started there. The Phoenix is a new bar which ap- pears to serve mostly very young punk . types and is rarely even full with them. The bartender has little to do but sweep up the roaches in the game 5 room. The big business on The Stripi' is done by Walter's, the Kove and the Water Street Saloon. Walter's is called Orville's by everyone who has been around for a while and most nights there's not enough room to peel the label off your beer. The bottles pile up and the conversations are heavy...in quantity, if not quality. The Water Street Saloon is the home of country rock. Good Company picks out the numbers there to the thunder of clapping hands and heavy feet. Farmer's daughters can be seen with apple cheeks flushed from the exertions of chug-a-lug or the latest barn stomp. The Saloon's fans are fiercely loyal and will chuck a road apple at you if you run their place down. In the cavernous Kove, the remnants of the drug culture worship at the altar of the bandstand of 15-60-75. The band plays the same dozen blues-rock tunes they've been playing for the last three years, but they play them loud and well-and the crowd loves it. They boogie, they smoke, a few snort, the air is heavy and sweet with the burning hemp, people are shakin' their things all over the place and th 5 lSee next page.i sm fu. .Q A iii' -4 ..1.

The truth of the matter is, the further away from Water Street you go, the straighter the crowd and the heavier the alcohol flow. The Deck and the Towne House on Main Street serve as mid-way points where you get some alcohol freaks and some heads. This is where the true college crowd begins to be evidenced. The clothes are cleaner, the language more educated even if more artificially obscene. The people who frequent here avoid downtown except for cheap thrills. Closer to campus are the Krazy Horse and Friar Tuck. These are student bistros where the beer flows just as it used to downtown, the same old games are played, ploys used. The people here take drugs sometimes, but drinking's safer. It seems more moral somehow--or at least more legal. I wandered the cold and dark streets of Kent in search of truth, talked to many people and bartenders. I wondered, can one make a value judgement over what is or was or will be better? Was the party era happier than the drug era? Is our present mixed bag any better than either? Can you condemn the street freaks and condone the drinkers? My mind raced with the myriad possible answers. Should I go cover the Dome and talk to the dancers? Or the Loft for a beer and pizza? Maybe Pirate's Alley or the Blind Owl? The on-campus Rathskeller? Was there really any purpose at all in talking about the Kent bars and their different scenes? As I groped for the truth, I spotted a shadowy figure in a dark alley. He seemed to radiate a force that drew me nearer. I searched his face. Was it? Could it be? Yes, it was! Turk! The old legend Turk who rode a Harley hog that was dirtier than a sow's under- belly. Turk, who rode with the Hell's Angels until he was kicked out for being too polite, who was known far and wide for his skill at pulling a wheelie from his bike parked on its kickstand. I presented my dilemma to him and waited in the hopes of enlightenment. Whazzat again, man?', he replied. The bars, I said. 'fWhat,s the scene? Is it booze or drugs, are we coming full circle? What does it all mean? Oh.,' And the Turk thought. l'Listen, he said, and I craned closer to hear THE TRUTH as presented by this man of the world. The important thing is that you get fucked up...ya know what I mean, man? Even while I pondered the subtle meaning of his reply he interrupted my thoughts. Hey, let's go down to the Toilet Bowl an' get loaded. The Toilet Bowl? I asked. What bar's that? I don't think I know it. It ain't no bar, man. ltis under the bridge next to the river. They throw so much shit in there, it's just like your toilet, man? I'll drink to that. Intramural sport They may not be professional playoffs, but they're a night away from the books T's NOT the Super Bowl. the NBA Playoffs or the Stanley Cup Playoffs, but to the 1,855 annual participants in intramural sports at KSU. that football, basketball or hockey game is just as important. Hit that guy! shouts a sideline rooter at Allerton Fields. Scramble, Ron: pitch out! yells another. Braving the chilly late afternoon temperatures. the grid- ders open another season of intramural football. Only one will remain after seven weeks of competition, one team that can say it was the best. But it's far from your customary rah, rah football game. Each team has its one play--when in trouble, throw long and just hope one of your teammates happens to make a lucky catch. And the cheering? Well, you may be one of the popular teams and have a standing room only crowd of 20. The real cheering comes from the team. Leagues with as many as 165 teams competing in various intramural sports highlight seasonal activities. Besides foot- ball. the program includes basketball, softball, track, swim- ming. bowling and volleyball. Other high interest IM sports are table tennis. golf. handball, tennis, wrestling and ice hockey. lt's really great to get away from the books for awhile and go out and crack a few heads, said an IM football participant. Although the intramural fall activity is only touch foot- Story by Frank Beeson ball, the touching sometimes gets pretty rough, as one participant noted. It never failed, Thursday afternoon. following an evening of touch football, the All-University football champs, Krazy Horse, would be in full celebration at their sponsor's busi- ness. The IM Top Ten had rated the Krazy Horse team a strong contender all along and its team members didn't plan to have anything obstruct their chances to win the coveted crown. Krazy Horse did allow Beall Place to win one game--the IM Champs didn't show up. Following a long-awaited Christmas break, students flocked back to the university, many wondering what their winter quarter classes would be like, others wondering what team would dominate the IM basketball season. An exaggeration? Not totally. As one senior stated, All I'm going to do is study a little and play basketball every chance I get. On any given Sunday morning, well before many students even think of getting out of bed, this senior was in Wills Gym practicing for the upcoming game. Not every IM participant is as enthused about the season as this student, but he clearly wasn't alone in the gym. With the falling of that first winter snow came the bounc- ing of the basketballs and the shiiiish of hockey skates at the Ice Arena. lSee next page.l 54 l WY .Kl5 . 4 -i., .'- Wg- 1 X , .fy - A--: 1-5 ..-.W . . -f---f in 0' '1a5Mq..,-. 3' xx wr wk Eff?

The winter months have an added touch in store for students involved in intra- murals--women's ice hockey. Getting out on the ice with a stick in your hand serves as an emotional outlet for many. f'Sure it gets a little rough, but it wouldn't be any fun if somebody wasn't out to make things even, said one student as she laced up her skates. One of the more interesting spectator sports in the intramural program is the facultyfstaff basketball competi- tion. Names like Coming Attraction, White Lightning, Hole-in-the-Wall Gang, Seven Stooges, Nameless Five, Cos- mic Debris, and Hose Nose and Smooth Shoes make the basketball season lineups unique. Rounding out the intramural season, softball comes into play. Spring works a certain magic on students and, as a result, extra-large numbers turn out for the softball season. As in the major portion of the IM activities, the men's division is divided into three categories: dormitory, indepen- dent and fraternity leagues. Following a season of inter-league play, the teams which finish with a 500 per cent win-loss average advance to the league playoffs. Once each league has produced a league champion, that team then proceeds to the All-University playoffs, which involve the three represented leagues. lSee next page.l ,X e4A,,,, iContinued from page 57.l For softball, the All-University playoffs represent the World Series at KSU.

Once a week for several hours. Friend visits a nine-year-old Kent girl selected by the program to be her little sis. She aids with the child's studies and performs lei- sure activities with her. such as ice skating, that the girl might otherwise be unable to do. Friend said she thinks a volunteer must have patience with others, a need for helping people and the ability to derive enjoyment from the work and the interaction with people it affords. Talking peryonally, Friend said the program helped her to be more open and happy-- I feel like a better person. As a volunteer, Friend receives two hours of credit per quarter and is required to write several papers concerning the progress of the child and herself. Volunteering in this program is more than just hours toward graduation, she said. lt is related to helping hos- pitalized persons, which is where l will be working after Story by Cindy Raffath graduation. I think I've learned the guidelines for helping others in my profession through this program. Friend said she is attempting to strengthen her little sis' emotional feelings toward her. After a while together, Friend said, a little sis usually becomes more open. I like my little sis to show her feelings, she added. I get more out of teaching when a child shows affection. Friend said she would have been disappointed if her little sis had rejected her as a person and as a big sis. If we have a problem I try hard to overcome these bad times by isolating the block, she added. She said she likes the program because it gives a special time to the children and allows them to become involved in special activities. g'Free time and the desire to give it are necessary to be a good volunteer, Friend pointed out. I can't wait to see my little sis each week. 'I feel like o better person.' --Friend learning patience in the world of 'special' children '.v 'f l -I iff i We 3 13 2 I 4-.Lf--f LEARNED I had more patience than my friends and other persons claimed, said Pam Gruver, a student volunteer at the Hattie Larlham Founda- tion for severely handicapped children. By working at the hospital in Mantua, she said she learned more about herself personally in terms of what she is able to handle emotionally. Gruver said each child is provided with individual atten- tion and care through physical therapy, which includes de- velopmental, tactile and visual stimulation. She said although the children receive top medical treat- ment, there is a limited amount of time a staff member can spend with each child. Gruver, who began volunteering about a year ago, said she was quite shocked initially at the children's severe ab- normalities. She overcame this feeling with her next visit. Gruver considers her work at the hospital a rewarding experience for both herself and the child. Gruver's reward was not helping a child overcome a handicap, but merely providing extra attention and sometimes, on rare occasions. seeing the child respond. The experience, she added, is not always rewarding. She saw the attachment between the child and herself as obviously existing more within the volunteer. I look for- ward to seeing the children when I go to Hattie Larlham twice a week for visits because I miss them. Before beginning her volunteer work, Gruver said she took several courses in mental retardation and psychology, but she is presently doing personal research. As a coordinator for the volunteer program at the Foun- dation, Gruver sets up meetings and arranges hospital visits for prospective student volunteers. She said she would never shame a person if he or she could not handle the volunteer work emotionally. However, persons visiting once or twice, then dropping out of the Story by Cindy Raffath program, are resented by Gruver and paid staff members because it is thought they only come to see a freak show. Those volunteers who stay cannot expect too much from a child or become discouraged if a child does not respond, Gruver stated. 1 P X355 W ox, S53 Wx my-1 s- , .uf i It was out of no pity for these children that Gruver began lvolunteering. In fact, she added, If I wasn't a senior and a lpsychology major now and had begun working at Hattie gLarlham earlier, I would have gone into special education. I lreally like the work.

She sat by the window and talked to one of the campus bus drivers a lot. She was almost always smiling, and one sensed a great deal of other-directed energy in her.

But Donna said there are some bar- riers that stem from people who feel uncomfortable around handicapped person. Architectural barriers are physical--you can tear down things and put in ramps, but you can't do that with attitudes, she said, with a hint of frustration in her voice. We have to understand our own limitations, she explained. Some of us can do more than others, there are so many degrees of handicap. We have changed a lot of people's attitudes by what we do.

She said she has grown a lot and has made real friends, both other handicapped stu- dents and able-bodied, or AB peo- ple, she said. Most of the uncomfortable situa- tions she has come across have hap- pened in a social context outside the university, Donna said. She told of how she'd go to a restaurant with her parents and the waitresses sometimes would not know how to react to her. They'll ask my parents, 'What would she like today?' instead of ask- ing me. They talk to you as if youire younger than you are. When you're lower down, people tend to talk down at you. They don't talk to you directly, she said. Donna lives in Silver Oaks apart- ments.

'tl wasn't a kid when I came here but I sure have grown. It's not quite a real world, but itis more than what Donna and I had when we grew up. You felt like you were in a cocoon, she recalled. Another student, Barb Ruggles, 22, became disabled four years ago. Barb was in the back seat of a car driven by a friend she went to visit when they got in an accident which left her par- alyzed from the waist down. At that time, I was too worried about staying alive and recovering, I didn't have time to think about being handicapped, Barb remembers. lSee next page., 'I don't miss walking because I never knew it. This is normal for me.' lContinued from page 67.l HI don't consider myself as a 'handicap': if people could only look at me as me. she said determinedly. When asked whether she ever thought about how she used to be. Barb said, I think about whether things would have been different. Once in awhile I feel depressed, irri- table. she admitted. I feel bitter sometimes but only to- ward the people involved. I miss sports, bicycling, hiking. Watching people do it gets kind of frustrating. she says. A student with perhaps a more casual approach to his handicap is Jim Butler. The 33-year-old junior majoring in geography has been chaired for 13 years following a swim- Ili 3? -s IPTG maur :ki -' Plldfff-4 4 Radgow ' J. ming accident when he was in the Navy. Jim is often seen downtown making the bar scene, espe- cially at the Water Street Saloon. He speaks of his handicap as though it were any other characteristic of him, such as the color of his eyes.

Who's there?', It's us, Herman, the writer and photographer from the Burr. Come on in, a reluctant voice told us. Here, hang up your coats, he offered. 'Elf you have pictures to take, you'd better get them over with quick, he warned. I've been showed off a million times already. He sat on the bed in the closet-sized Tri-Towers dorm room and began to rock back and forth, something he did almost incessantly unless a question touched a nerve or made him stop momentarily to think. Herman Rubin, a 21-year-old speech and radio major, has been to- tally blind since his pre- mature birth. We asked him if he ever wished he could see. It doesn't bother me at all-if someone had a chance to give it to me I wouldnit take it 'cause Iim so used to what I have-I don't need it, he told us. We prodded more. Herman, how's your so- cial life? I'm one of the straightest people I k n 0 w . I d o n ' t party--ever, he told us. Besides , there are too many alcoholics here. You're really a serious person, arenit you? I see things in a different light than most people, he said. Do you have a lot of friends? It's not the making of friends, but the kind of friends you make. I've not been blessed with the greatest of friends. They're not ones Iid want to keep forever. Most of my friends are girls but then a lot of them tend to take advantage of me. Love you and leave you.

Supposedly, My grades are not the greatest in the world, but grades don't make the man. In class people getting tests back ask the dumbest hings.

You must have had a lot of troubles. Itis tough in the job market, he said. People willjust lie through their teeth to tell you you're not good enough for the job. I have to be twice as good as anybody else to get that job, he said, with unmistakable bitterness. The worst frustration he knew was when he was Shafted from the radio station CWKSUI for about two years,'i he said. They kept me off until I established myself here. I didn't even get a chance to get in the door until last summer and then when I got my chance I didn't do well enough to please the bureaucrats, so they took it away from me. I wasnit able to work - fast enough--the first time. I felt my radio career was taken away before I started. What happened? You're training now, d aren't you? My parents got the word and straightened it out. I found out I'm not allowed to have a radio li- cense because I can't read a VUQvolume unitj me- ter. What do you want to do with your life? Try to find someone I could be happy with, do thingsl like to do, maybe even make a few other people happy, he said. Do you find a lot of 'attitude barriers to the way you are? I get a lot of assistance--sometimes people overdo it. There are some things I can do for myself that they won't let me do, he added. If I wasn't lost people would want to lead me around. If I was lost, nobody would be there to help me, he com- plained. Herman, what makes you happy, when do you really feel high? Playing the keyboards. I am capable of playing anything I want to play. Friends turn me on. I don't go for any artificial turn on like drugs, I go in for what really is real. Do you feel different? I don't feel it, I know it.', Herman, do you keep alot inside, a lot of deep feelings? Oh, yes, quite a lot. Herman, are you happy? W ru .C V! Story by Marilynn Marchione Burr focus on: A ulvony LIVING TCGETHER OMPA RING THE costs for on-campus and off-campus housing is like comparing apples and oranges. It can't be done, it's impossible, said Joel Rudy, dean for Student Residence Life. You can make a comparison of dollars per square foot of a room but not the diversified services that come with it. The major difference in the cost value of on-campus and off-campus housing lies in the kind of services required by the individual student. According to Rudy, while dorm rooms range in price from S238 for a triple to S335 per quarter for singles, the services may make the dorm an ad- vantageous place to live. He explained that the services included in the room charge are furniture. utilities, phone installation charges, cleaning and maintenance, and public lounge areas for so- cializing. However, James Buchanan, volunteer for Commuter and Off-Campus Student Organization KCOSOJ said the partic- ular wants and needs of an individual dictates the financial advantages of living on or off campus. A student can get an off-campus apartment with a kitch- en and bath for less than S80 per month and may be per- fectly happy without maid service or the convenience of prepared meals, he said. lt depends on what a student values more, Buchanan explained. agreeing with Rudy on the difficulty in compar- Story by Kathy Siemon ing on- and off-campus housing situations. If a student would rather have a pool than maid service or the solitude of a private room rather than a lounge area, then it would be advantageous to find a place off campus, he said. There are a variety of off-campus housing possibilities that can fit the needs of particular students, Buchanan said, with literally thousands of spaces to choose from with just as many services relfecting the costs. According to the COSO housing list, rent rates range from S10 a week for a single room in a house to S185 a month for a one-bedroom apartment. Costs for two-and three-bedroom apartments range from S190 to 5280. Prices range anywhere between these extremes, Buchanan said, and services accompanying the rent rates are just as diversified--some come with essentials such as a bath and kitchen, others do not. lt is also important to remember leases when comparing housing alternatives, Rudy said, explaining the advantage of an academic year lease with the popular l2-month lease used in many apartment complexes. He said there is a great- er difficulty in breaking a non-university lease and it may cost the tenants their security deposit. Food preparation and costs are also determinants in hous- ing rates. On the one hand, the dorms have the convenience of already prepared food for a minimum cost of food cou- pons at S160 per quarter. Apartment living offers the objec- tive of how much one wants to spend and the preparation of food to fit the desires of the individual student.

Regardless of all this lor perhaps because of ity, the incidence of un- married couples living together seems to be on the rise. It has been said that such behavior abounds on college campuses. If so. some profound social implications could result. Angie and Denny have been living together for a year and a half. Denny signed the lease in Riverview Apart- ments. but they both live there. Describing how she feels about the situation. Angie said. It's nice. If you live with someone you don't have to have a piece of paper. Denny agreed. It's just a good re- lationship right now. It lets you breathe easy. he said. I got out of the service in January of '73 and came here in the spring. I came here with the idea that before the year was out, I'd find someone I'd want to live with. he explained. I roomed with a guy named Mark at the time. Angie and Mark were friends, she said. It was a Saturday night, I was doing my laundry and Mark brought Denny over and we got stoned, she said. After a period of seeing each other, they agreed to work out a living situ- ation for fall, she recalled. I lived with a girl when I was in the Army and I really liked the com- panionship. Denny said. I can com- municate better witn a female and I find more emotional satisfaction out of living with a female. There is less tension. Story by Marilynn Marchione a license l'm a very profound advocate of women's lib, Denny said. I'm not a ltraditionall male and she's not a ltraditionall female. I do dishes one night, she does them the next, he said. We share everything right down the line. They both cook, clean and do the laundry, Angie added. I make it a point to completely support myself, too. I hate it when women use a man they live with, she said. Explaining that they differ from many couples who see living together as almost a prelude to marriage, Denny and Angie both said they have no intentions of making definite mar- riage plans, but this could conceivably happen sometime in the future. There are no binds and this is just our little phase of sharing together, Denny said. He plans to graduate this spring with a degree in sociology. Angie will graduate next year sometime... maybe, with a double major of bio- logy and psychology. Angie said she is not sure if her parents know that she and Denny are living together. I argued it with my mother lbefore she and Denny metl just as an alternative to getting mar- ried, she said. Denny said his parents know about the arrangement and don't really mind. Many parents play 'little Susie wouldn't do that' games, he said, adding that his parents weren't that way. I don't feel any social pressures on me because of living with Denny, Angie said. I donlt want to do some- thing just because I'm supposed to, she explained. Sometimes I think people just react as they were socially brought up to react, she said. I think a lot of people do it as a fad or don't think about it before 74 Angie and Denny share apartment chores and find enough time to relax andjust be together, without any pressures to change each other. they do it, Angie said. Maybe it's just like any other serious relation- ship--you are living with another person. It's a challenge not to fall into games. Both of them agreed that the expe- rience has made them more realistic. I donlt think I'd want a hearts and flowers kind of thing, Denny added. Summing up what they like most about the arrangement, they both said the closeness which developed. In the beginning, you sort of focus on the other person. Then afterwards, when you know the other person better, you can kind of de-intensify it, Denny said. Besides learning about what another person is like, you learn a hell of a lot about yourself. is.- I IH 'MGP' Y .. s--M., .., A P -i.. X Q 'Q . xx A X . ,Ax ,. 5 . sf Y N wh. ' iv,-,.

And when the two are put together you can come up with either a winning or losing combination, depending on a number of personal circumstances. The majority of married students at Kent State live in the Allerton apartment complex owned by the university. The apartments themselves. unlike the residents inside, all look plain. simple and identical. But there is little identical be- tween any man and woman who are striving to put one, the other or both through four years or more of college. Thirty-year-old Gene Stocker and his 25-year-old wife. Debbie, have two small girls. The biggest hassle for the St0cker's is making it to class at KSU everyday. I have classes in the mor- ning on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Gene said. I really can't take a leisurely walk back from my class be- cause I have to 'relieve' my wife from the babysitting duties. This is because Debbie has a two-hour afternoon class on the same days I have my morning class. Both Gene and Debbie have already attained bachelor Story by Jack Marschall degrees and are now working on graduate studies. Gene has a BS in physical education and Debbie has the same degree in biology. I'm substitute teachingin Cuyahoga Falls and other local areas right now, Gene said. Debbie is working on a pro- gram which will make her a certified biologist in the state of Ohio. Gene said he sometimes found himself neglecting class- work in school before he was married. but things have changed for the better following the walk down the aisle. I don't think I could have made it without Debbie. he said, because she made me more determined. Now I feel like doing much better be- cause I don't want to let my wife and family down. Twenty-nine-year-old Asher Landesman has been married to 21-year-old Naomi for al- most three years. But unlike E the other couple we talked to, 3, theirs is a life of rigid spiritual J. Rad devotion. f'As married students we really don't have too many hasslesf' Asher said. Most of our problems evolve around our spirituality. Following their marriage Asher and Naomi began to prac- tice the Jewish religious customs of Lubavitcher Chassidin. Our faith creates some problems such as having to travel ll thi 'W L to Cleveland for kosher meats, Asher said. t'But the faith has also given us an opportunity to grow and work together. We find ourselves to have a very groovy marriage. Asher said that marriage and attending classes at the same time can be tiresome, especially when working at a part-time job. Naomi previously worked as a consultant at the Office of Continuing Education, but quit in the fall because of her pregnancy. 'fFinding a babysitter for our newest addition, Muriam, isn't really difficultf' Asher said.

Even when we were standing face to face, I had to ask him to speak louder. And he talked. He walked up to me and, in his foggy voice, launched into a rambling monologue of disconnected events. He talked about his parents, drinking, bills, joining the Army and getting a full-time job. He would skip from one thing to another and back again non-stop. But even though I listened and tried to really hear what he was say- ing, I couldn't understand what he was talking about. I felt frustrated and uncomfortable. I arrived at my weekly group meeting the following Mon- day to find Terry there. I was apprehensive. As the evening progressed, I felt impatient when he talked because he would drone on and on almost incoherently until someone interrupted him. When asked a direct question, he would either remain silent or scratch his head and start talking about something apparently unrelated to the question. Terry seemed so engulfed by his own little world he couldn't get out of it long enough to hear others in the group share themselves. I found myself questioning whether CH philosophy could be of any value to Terry. Could our philosophy of self-dis- closure as a means of affecting personal change be of any use? Could he understand what being open and honest meant? Could he realize that he was totally responsible for his behavior? The groups at CH had significantly helped me become aware of myself as a person. Openness and honesty are a requirement of group therapy. Building trust and closeness is necessary, sharing my feelings and thoughts with the group serves as a means of getting in touch with myself.

Opposite, psychodrama is used to learn about oneself and relationships with others. lContinued from page 81.I on what I say. Since the group held me accountable for my actions, I began to deal with uncomfortable areas of my life and make needed changes. I wondered if it would be the same for Terry. Over the next few months I got to know Terry better. I learned he had very few good feelings and a staggering amount of negative feelings about himself. I still felt uncomfortable but began to identify my feel- ings of discomfort more as hopelessness than impatience. I realized I cared about him. Finally Terry did several things which dispelled my feel- ings of hopelessness. One night in group he was confronted by one of the other live-insl' and told he was making too much noise late at night. Terry reacted with anger and stubbornness. For me the significance of the incident was in how readily he re- sponded and communicated during the discussion. He talked clearly and with no hesitation. He was communi- cating. Shortly thereafter, Terry showed us a poem he had writ- ten. It was a clear expression of an idea and more evidence of the fact that he and I could understand and relate to one another. In January, the Live-In Program moved to Van Campen Hall at KSU and Terry moved with it. With moving I hoped the possibility of Terry deciding to change would be more likely. Perhaps he would be called upon to trust someone or be trusted. The idea of more sophisticated role playing was explored by staff members. I found myself investing more 5 ff, '- time talking with him and noticed other members of the community doing the same, but he was still maintaining a distance. He would stand on the outside of a conversation, hesitant to interact with others on more than a one-to-one basis. Then one night Terry showed up for group, spoke his thoughts loud and clear, and smiled, saying, l've got to get off my ass and do something. He had finally made the decision to change and rid himself of that backlog of bad feelings. l am no longer concerned about Terry,s capabilities. I trust he can take the steps toward acquiring the full-time job he identified as one of his goals. The decision is up to him. He is the only one in control. l'Ia in full s alla re lnlma nity, Iblllllfillllt' in IIlll.'iC FOLK FESTIVAL is just what it seems--a joyous celebration of culture through both ancestral music and the traditional tunes of today.

Writing a story representative of some 300 foreign students from 60 different countries currently attending Kent State University seems a Herculean task, even for one who speaks in tongues. It is difficult to get any sort of gut reaction from these people, Garcha Singh. foreign student adviser in the Inter- national Students Affairs Oftice, tells me. He is an Indian who has spent only two months of his life in India, but still wears the white turban of the Sikh. Many of them are told, 'You are there to learn and that is all you do.' so they do not speak freely about their countries or about the United States, he observes. Forewarned by Singh, I try a little daring--a gut question in quest of a gut response. My victim is an Iranian student, Fatollah Salimian. GIVE US SOME OIL! I shout, holding out my arms as though l were trying to catch a large basket. a gesture meant to say. Why are you being so unreasonable? GIVE US SOME MONEY! he shouts back, making the same gesture. So much for diplomacy. I stalk the halls of the internationals office looking for unique angles. freaky dress. But they look just like Americans. Two Africans are playing ping-pong, but by their own admission they could pass as blacks from the U.S. Would you believe I'm from Cincinnati? Edward Cooper from Liberia asks me. laughing. I say no, but only because he has an English accent, the kind a Jamaican might Story by A.M. Murray If a- N L is D 2 2 4 S .Q lh o O' o .: n. have. He laughs about Cincinnati because he told some Americans once he was from there and they believed him. I have a feeling he also likes the sound of the word. All the internationals speak very precise English, unlike Americans who drop g endings and soften er sounds. They are all very happy to be in the U.S., Singh has told me. This is it, he said. 'This is the best place to be. You know, everyone complains here about inflation or unem- ployment, but in other countries it is much, much worse. And they are very serious students. They all say they are rich, Singh says, but they always end up coming to me and asking if they can defer payment on tuition or telling me they have to write home for more money. The money they have is family money: it is not their own. It represents a dream of the family and only one of perhaps many chil- dren can be so well educated. Nader Ghahramany, Iranian doctoral candidate in phy- sics, has previously told me he likes America very much but he is puzzled by how isolated we are from one another, how superficial many of our friendships seem. Tina Holder, from Giana, in a group interview agrees that Americans are too self-centered. Cincinnati Cooper of Liberia has a theory on this topic. You all try to be sepa- rate, he says. The states try to be separate from the federal government, the cities try to be separate from the states and so on down to the people who try to be separate from each other.

He says he doesn't want to be identified and proceeds to lead the discussion into a loud jumble of harangue on America's faults. I suppose I asked for it. Americans don't have the proper respect for other peo- ple, especially older ones, I'm told. They are always in too much of a hurry. Americans are too commercial. If some- thing doesn't make money. it has no value to us. We don't know anything about the rest of the world--we're hung up on ourselves. These are all things which most Americans are aware of. The older generation has been saying it about the younger American generation for years. Some of the younger ones are saying it about the older ones now. Values are changing quickly in America. It is a land of change. I think of current history. In a quiet room, I interview Mey Lie Ng. an Indonesian student studying nursing. She is giving me her speech, which sounds quite rehearsed. I think women are better off here than in my country, she says in a small voice, and cites the .- -q . ' ..,, P Q Ilrzn .45 I N f' N Y .N S I advantages of mechanical devices over manual labor. I can forgive her for her prepared words though. She tells me later of how when she first attended a high school in America, she had to talk in class and the students laughed at her. She is reluctant now to speak in classes and is still a little shy of speaking to any American. She doesn't date, she tells me. Why? Because she's afraid she couldn't talk well enough and there's another reason. She won't tell me the other reason but says, You know. Mey Lie Ng excuses herself to go to class and I am left to contemplate all I've been told. And the answer, Idecide, is communication. What people tell you is not what they al- ways mean and between nations. I have found there is always the wall of different cultures which breeds misunder- standings. But even fumbled conversations and awkward jokes lead to more of an understanding of each other than existed before. Communication is a solution.

Keicher A. A. Keicher G. McNichoI Interim government and HAT CAN you write about a person who's had everything in the world written about him al- ready? Alright students, quiz time: Who was the sole student government throughout sum- mer, fall and winter quarters? Right, Brian Anderson. And who made all the student appointments to university committees and recommended changes in the guidelines for allocating student activities fees to campus organizations? Anderson again. And who attended meetings of the Board of Trustees. organizers of food coupon gripes, faculty unionization and collective bargaining seminars. mandatory housing battles. KSU Presidential cabinet meetings, etc., as a.student rep- resentative? Right, folks. Anderson again. Called everything from a dedicated workhorse to a be- nevolent dictator , Anderson has made a relatively quick rise as a major figure in KSU student politics. Appointed executive secretary of student government by the Student Affairs Council in the spring of '74, Anderson was to act as an interim caretaker until the end of winter quarter or until the creation of a new student government. Anderson was co-chairperson of the Student Union along with Ann Fry last spring. Before this he was virtually a political unknown. Probably the most obvious question people want to ask is why he does it. What makes me tick is what makes anyone tick, Anderson said, adding that he has a fatalistic viewpoint of life. Things happen when and if they are meant to, he said. One individual act doesn't determine the whole game. I care about students. Down deep inside I enjoy it. l'm happier when I'm working for people, he said. Some- body's got to do the dirty work and I can take the heat more than other people, he claimed. Part of his motivation is selfish. he said, because if I help some poor sap avoid a language requirement it's ultimately going to help me. lt's a community deal. Anderson said his involvement saves me from myself. It's too easy for an individual to get caught up in his own lack of fulfillment. If I was left to myself, it would just gnaw at me. he said. Whenever he has quiet time to be alone, he usually thinks of going to the desert where he can be away from people. Periodically I am human, he said jokingly. Most of his time is spent in figuring out how he will get through the next day, he said. I wanted the executive secretary position because I didn't want the administration to do everything. I can effect small changes here and can be an information bank for stu- dents about university policy. There are programs l've wanted to develop but I need more people. he said. The history of KSU involvement is that three or four people do it and then die. A lot of things about the job really bother him, he said. Many times I feel like l'm becoming plastic here--I don't feel real. But l've been too busy to think about that, he added. Story by Marilynn Marchione A ad , Anderson justified this in his own mind because he said, It's something you do to reach another end. There are overriding concerns and many things which enter into every decision, he said. I don't even really claim to be a leader. Legally I'm not bound to the students, but I try to do things in the stu- dents' best interests. I'm more of a bureaucrat than any- thing else, he explained. Anderson said that when he took the student government post, I assumed Ann lFryl would still be with the Union. I felt guilty about leaving the Union to become executive secretary, but the Union shouldn't be based on two people either, he said. He became involved with the Union after he was draft- ed by Fry, Anderson said. Soon, he was elected to the revolving chair position. I saw the Union as a real possible lobbying agent for student concerns, he said. Democratically speaking, it is still a viable form. the students --at X Ew- Brian Anderson, left.

They are more willing to set aside special interests and ivork togetherf' However, with the referendum ahead and a new govern- ment expected to be formed, Anderson said he sees a year wf frustration with new leaders coming out of it. There will be mass confusion for awhile but I can see no vay of avoiding it. The political vacuum has to be filled, ind there's not natural transitionf' he added. Anderson appointed two administrative assistants, Russ ones and Bob Polzner, and a treasurer, Mike Humphrey, to 'ssist him with special projects. Jones said he became involved in student government be- use, I felt that if a student could gain the expertise, he lould perform valuable functions. He said he saw a shortage f dedicated people and decided to try to be one. I Jones said he has learned that making demands not the Way to effect change in a system.

G'That,s the type of thing you have to deal within the outside world, he added. What I'm attempting to do is to formulate in my mind what structure would implement the most viable student input. I've lost a lot of my idealism. I only want to accom- plish things I can in the best means I know how, he con- cluded I think I am representative of Joe Kent State student, Jones said. He has no organizational ties or biases and is seeking to fill the gap in the absence of a representative body, he said. Polzner has been a veteran of student government and organizational involvement ranging from activity in Kent Interhall Council to all-university committees andinvestiga- tive work. I think I can help some of the people involved to know the intricacies of the university, Polzner said, indicating that his current involvement is with hopes that he can pro- vide some know-how and sound advice from his past expe- riences. A psychologist would probably have a very good expla- nation for myinvolvementj' he said. 'tlt provides a satis- faction, security and a feeling that I've done something for people. Speaking of past activism on campus, Polzner said, We were into social things my first two years here. Students now seem more self-centered. They're here to get their de- grees, get out and get ajob. People wanted to change the world. Now there are a few, but not many who want this. Students are a lot more realistic and a bit less idealistic, he said. It,s a misconception that there is power on this cam- pus,', Polzner added. I avoided student government at first became I thought it was a zoo. Humphrey said he is treasurer because I like the workf, The junior accounting major said last spring he worked with the allocations committee and helped with some audits of student organizations. At that time, he was told that there might be an opening for a student government treasurer in the fall and said he felt he had ample experience for the position. It provides good training for future career work, Hum- phrey said, indicating that an experience like student gov- ernment can supplement learning in the classroom. Nothing but sheer enjoyment of the work motivated his decision to become actively involved, he added. At la t they voted to choose o government NOTHER EPISODE in the continuing saga of stu- dent government on the KSU campus took place winter quarter with the student government refer- endum, held to allow KSU undergraduates the chance to select a governance structure. Indecision and some confusion seemed to cloud the air before the referendum. A feeling of Haven't we been on this merry-go-round before? seemed to penetrate the cam- pus and be echoed by even casual observers. Student sentiment varied from Don't bother me with this again to l'd really like to see a good government: it's just been so long since we've had a working constitutional form. Many students expressed fears that if we didn't act now to form a government, all hopes of doing so would be lost because unsuccessful attempts had soured the taste of the idea in students' mouths. The stage seemed to be set. The Board of Trustees, which would have to approve any structure voted upon, indicated it would support any representative structure the students chose. A committee to study the nature of governance held many dry meetings but managed to wade through several proposals and banter around ideas for governmental forms. An elections commission formed and screened proposals for basic functional provisions. Plans for a referendum were SCI. To most everyone connected with the affair, the big ques- tions were Will it come off? and How many will vote? They got their answers when 1,500 students went to the polls during the referendum, Feb. 4-6. Although this was still only one-tenth of the students elegible to vote, it was the largest turnout in recent student government history. The vote was close. The winning proposal received 321 votes and a combined total of 303 voters chose yes for a student government but did not indicate a specific proposal choice. Two of the other proposals received just under 300 votes to rival the winner. A total of five proposals appeared on the ballot, along with a no governance option, which was selected by 200 voters, The proposals ranged from an executive secretary to a coordinating board of some sort to a student government Story by Nlanlynn Marchione caucus. The winning proposal was perhaps a compromise of these. Written by Russ Jones, assistant to Brian Anderson, executive secretary of the student government interim struc- ture, the basic plan is similar to a city manager model. The student body will elect five students to serve as a caucus. These must not be major officers of any major student organization and will serve without pay. Among other powers, the five-member caucus will make appointments to university committees, determine all pol- icy, distribute all monies for which student government is responsible, receive and act upon student initiative peti- tions, and choose and supervise an executive secretary to f A fx al v ar X I ...2 Info-3000 A look at th HERE DO most students call to obtain a campus phone number or find out where a university event will be held? Normally. they will pick up the receiver and dial 3000. the phone number to campus information. The workers at Info-3000 are trained to answer most types of questions posed by inquisitive callers. but the prob- lem now seems to be who will answer questions being asked by Info-3000 workers--questions concerning working hours and the hiring of new employes. Lisa Bixenstine and Les Prysock, two student employes at lnfo-3000. say the current troubles there resulted from recent employe hirings by Robert Myers, director of the Office of Parking and Traffic at Kent State. - . ' ' About midway through fall quarter, we learned Parking and Traffic was going to build an information booth at the Music and Speech building and also would take over our booth at the Student Center. Bixenstine said. We were told the new booth would be staffed by civil service employes. These would be new people hired and trained by Parking and Traffic. Bixenstine said she thought many of the current em- ployes at lnfo-3000 felt insulted by this announcement since it was implied they couldn't be trusted to perform an additional service--handing out permits to those parking in the Student Center lot. Other than handing out the parking permits there is nothing different between the Info-3000 employes and the civil service people, Bixenstine said. These workers get paid more than we do and don't even answer the phones. oices on the other end af the line Basically many of us feel it was a waste of energy, time and money, Bixenstine continued, because we were al- ready properly trained, and it sure would have been easier to just instruct us to issue these parking permits. Les Prysock said he was also concerned with the tactics used by Parking and Traffic. The greatest drawback, accord- ing to Prysock, is losing working hours because of the new civil service employes. All our time at the Student Center was cut, Prysock said. I used to work 15 hours every week. But since the civil service workers came in, I've been cut' down to about eight and a half. I worked most of my hours down at the Student Center information booth, Prysock said, but after the new hiring I was shipped down to Rockwell,s information booth. This whole situation' could have been avoided, Prysock said. All Mr. Myers had to do was brief us for 10 minutes on writing out the parking permits. Then all we would need is a key to open the drawer. What he also had to do, interjected Bixenstine, was trust us. It was Myers' department which came to the financial rescue of Info-3000 at the beginning of fall quarter. But, according to Myers, he is not planning to take over the telephone service line on campus. My aim was to create more continuity for the jobs themselvesf' Myers said. These people were hired to keep the program successful. There was too much responsibility for one person on the job,', Myers continued, 'Sand l decided it would be bet- ter to hire full-time student employes instead of adding work to the schedule of the part-time employes. The controversy behind the job hiring should be made known to the student body, according to Bixenstine, be- cause it involves everyone on the campus. Whether talking about this will do any good, I don't know, Bixenstine said. But people ought to know that the whole thing is a big waste of the students' money. The sad part, she added, His that the students are get- ting less out of Info-3000 than they ever did before. Story by Jack Marschall DK S: HEY ASKED me to spill myself to the public.

I didn't think much of what changes occurred in me within a year or a quarter--for one thing I didn't have the time and for another. well. sometimes a person becomes afraid. I lost my anonymity around the university a year ago. There was no such thing as going home for relief because sooner or later the phone would ring. Now I have an inkling of what it is like to be Glenn Olds. ad infinitum, and that kind of life is not for me. Someone suggested I should an- swer the phone. This is Susan Murcko, can you help me? Winter quarter I will retire to the copy desk as copy editor and will be taking I6 or more hours. I have forgotten what academics are like because for a year and a half as managing editor, then Editor. there wasn't much time to keep my grade average as high as I was accustomed. The return to classes will be a welcome one. but it scares me because I am out of practice with everyday basics. such as reading and research papers. The Stater is an incomprehensible animal. People work on it for love. My fringe benefits after a S333 per quarter salary included an I8-hour day of either putting out the paper or planning it. Yes, that's a 60-hour workweek. Most of our inside pages depend on untrained reporting students who usually have never done an interview in their lives. Some of them we help turn into writers by the end of the quarter. ln the meantime, the editorial board spends the day on the phone taking calls from people who ask why their reporter hasn't shown up yet that quarter. Since we are not a laboratory paper, we hold no leverage over a stu- dent except professionalism. The nucleus of our regular staff is masochistic. Every quarter the adviser asks them why they. maybe 30 out of about 900 journalism students, give so much to the Stater lit's obviously not payl and every quarter he gets the same answer: I really don't know...the experience...to get a job when l graduate. The latter probably is the closest answer. Former Stater and yearbook staffers usually get the better jobs because they're professionals with experience when they graduate. Every Srarer Editor is different. Each leaves a distinct mark on the staff. although l don't know if the staff always realizes that effect. All editors have their outstanding points and each has one big bungle that no one forgets. Near the end of the quarter, it begins to hit you.

You try to impress things on your successor but you realize that next quarter it will be their bag and the whole lonely cycle will repeat itself. Itis strange to spend a long time on the staff and watch people's paths up and out of the paper, including yourself. To watch a writer or a photographer develop or to watch someone who just wonlt make it begin to realize it. You begin to develop a sense for the person who walks in, does some work for you and who you know by the result is going to succeed. I would not trade the experience for anything. It has taught me more about journalism than any course I've taken in the School of Journalism.

The typewriters sound like gun- fire. An Associated Press wire machine is clacking out information vital to the unit's operation. The monitors spastically spit out more information about the Kent area. The phone buzzes constantly and, in all this confusion, peo- ple hurriedly run in and out. ln a sense, it is a command post, but not for any of the armed services. It is the nerve center of the WKSU news department, part of the campus radio station, WKSU. The people manning the station on the third floor of the Music and Speech building are the newscasters, engineers and disc jockeys that keep the station on the air. Although the AM and FM stations are located in the same area, they are totally different in staff, programming and audience. The AM jocks provide the campus with a closed circuit rock 'n' roll program and newscasts. They perform many functions at once, although on-the-airjocks sound as though the job is a very simple one. Running tape decks, cueing records, picking cartridges and answering the phone--all these facets of programming keep the sound flowing. Shows must be tight , having no gaps of silence or dead air. Everything must flow back to back in one continuous mo- tion. Across the hall in the FM station, the jocks call them- selves talent. Things aren't as hectic there, which creates a more relaxed tempo.

QI f -131 K SU'S PROCESS of screening prospective bus driv- ers is unique among transit systems in the United States. It is the only system that tests a driver's auto skills before the applicant can even be accepted into training as a bus driver, said Joe Fiala, director of the Cam- pus Bus Service. Applicants are given only one try at an auto skills test and must score 75 per cent or better to pass. Fiala said he knows of no other transit system in the country that tests an applicant's ability to drive a car before this person is trained to drive a bus. Due to this initial screening test, only the top 25 per cent of the available drivers at Kent are trained to operate a bus, with only about half of those who take the test scoring in the top quarter, Fiala noted. Then. prospective drivers must meet additional subjective requirements necessary to operate a bus. The student must be 5 feet 6 or taller and weigh 120 pounds--down 10 pounds from previous requirements. Fiala explained that the physi- cal requirements are due to seat and control positions. These are the minimums necessary to reach the controls and have full view of the windshield, he said. The trainees. which number about 20 per quarter, are given five days of orientation and practical driving before they take final practical and written exams. During the five-day training period, defensive driving is stressed continually, according to training supervisor Mike Watson. Day one includes class sessions on rules and policies at KSU. along with slides to familiarize the trainees with vari- Story by Janine Gladys lSee next page.l Here's the scoop 102 .1 3 ffff Z 1 X J x X .R-WQ '.r: we 0 r 5 ix i Q 3 if il liff 'mT 1 nr- l ' Q Q J' l 1 5 ! 3 'VJ- . .wb af I 5 f ., . .wp if ,. 8 5 - fm I .

Trainees drive the buses around the dorms at Eastway on the second day. The Eastway area is used primarily to give the new driver confidence and teach the turning of figure eights. This gives the driver an idea of the size of the bus and an opportunity to judge distances. Watson explained that the campus area is used because cam- pus turns are not as radical as those on the city routes. The various other routes are driven in groups of four with an experienced driver supervising on the remaining three days. The trainees are given the qualifying exams on the fifth or sixth day, depending on the skill of each training group. Some groups achieve enough proficiency to take the exam earlier than the sixth day, Fiala said. The exam is broken into two parts--a practical route test and a written exam. The route test,which is based on an evaluation of 100 different points in regard to the operation of a bus, is administered by a training supervisor. The written test, which is also comprised of 100 ques- tions, tests the trainee's knowledge of the bus procedures, including systems functions, capacities, breaking ability, emergency practices, radio process and courtesy. After successfully completing the practical, written and physical examinations, the trainee is then given federal certi- tication to operate a transit vehicle. Fiala explained that this federal certification does not automatically guarantee the driver getting a job in another ever actually stops transit system, but the certification does supply a much better chance at getting another transit job. He said this also applies to Kent--CBS will take experienced drivers into training over other applicants, but added that few students come to Kent with such experience. Trainees drive at least 10 additional hours during the three days prior to the beginning of the quarter to give them experience with passengers before the crowds begin to board. Fiala stressed that the training process never actually stops, and said that all drivers are evaluated at least once per quarter by a supervisor to assure that the operation and procedures of driving a bus meet standards. Quite a few more drivers leave Kent trained for transit system jobs than come here with experience--as evidenced by the fact that between 15 and 20 of all the drivers who left Kent in the last six years have gotten similar jobs. Some are inner-city drivers while others hold management posi- tions. 'Promotions should come after about six months with the Campus Bus Service, according to Fiala, who says this is quite a bit faster than generally occurs in the transit indus- try. Promotions are slow in the industry, usually 10 to 15 years apart, he contends, but says this is probably due to the fact that there are few managerial posts available. Even the Kent system, which has between 70 and 100 drivers, has only six regular supervisory positions and two additional supervisors who handle the transportation schedules and ser- vices for handicapped students. Fiala said there is only one special position, senior train- ing supervisor, for advanced supervisors who want to be- come more involved in mass transit. This supervisor gets experience in planning, planning grants, survey analysis and in making application to the federal government for grants for regional transportation. Students who progress to this level can apply for a full time position with CBS when they graduate, but this seldom happens, Fiala said, because few people advance that far or show that degree of interest. Portrait of an artist 3' sd :if 2' if 3. ,,.-f 'x LIVED 18 years of my life in suburban University Heights, Ohio, and went to Cleveland Heights High School--began making art seriously at 8 tdoll clothes, jewelry-anything that involved makingl--and for- mally in my senior year of high school... this is my last year of studio art. I paint because I'm a visual person and because this is the most effective way for me to make my perceptions into a visible product with its own reality. My work is some form of expressionism...I've been influ- enced by several people, like Matisse. I hate social comment. My most recent influences have been Gorky, Joan Mitchell and Claus Oldenburg, with other people scattered in between. I try to paint every day, but today I got behind a bit--I've only painted about three hours today. I'm not really a hermit who just paints all day...I like to go down to Walter's... I've used oil paint for a long time but just recently tFall '74J switched to acrylics... ...and I'm doing printingg I feel most at ease with lithography and etching. I do a lot of drawing with soft pastels and when I do sculpture, it's mostly been metal. When I prepare to make art, I try to clear my mind of everything except for what's going on in front of me on the canvas. I think that creative thought--that is, pure thought--can only come out of a cleared mind. The artwork follows this process for me. That is--I don't seek out subject matter to recreate.

Rather, it can be traced directly to the traumatic confrontations of the civil rights movement of the 60s, as Black people insistently demanded a share of the academic pie. Black Studies departments were carved in the framework of academia and the struggle to defend relevancy and prolif- erate academic expansion became the vogue. Although they are noticeably less vociferous, the confrontations persist as a new conservatism in white academia encroaches upon Black Studies departments and similar achievements related to the l960s. A university can be modeled as a microcosm or a minia- ture motif of the American cultural structure, and one prob- lem that Black people are trying to resolve is how they can Story by Milford Prewitt and Joice Smith L S T. Grande survive in a dominant and authoritarian white society. Sewn into the fabric of this society is a set of standards or values in which the individual is required to accept, emulate andfor propagate. At KSU, Black students are affected by these values, and the compulsion to ape them by imitating white attitudes through academic intellectualization is very strong. How do Black students hold themselves together at KSU? How do they hold themselves together emotionally, psycho- logically and spiritually while simultaneously pursuing their goals. and maintain their positive impact in the Black com- munity? Or are they together? Has the curriculum at KSU redirected Black students to- ward professional achievement in the white community and severed them from their communities intellectually? Does success mean obtaining a job with the white elite after graduation? An examination of the cultural motivations and ideals of Black students may reveal some of these answers and expose pertinent influences in the academic, social and political thought of Black life at KSU. Searching for identity, purpose and direction is a very cumbersome occupation as a minority. Black students, like Black people the world over, find welcomed relief in the enjoyment emitted from social cohesion. On most week- ends. despite major impending exams, students tend to flock to dorm parties with a thirst for relief and enjoyment in an overriding white environment. One of the motivating factors for this passion is a univer- sity community whose cultural programming does not al- ways embrace the social aspirations of Black students. There are no Black bars downtown. Rock music and beer blasts are not necessarily an expression or channel of enter- tainment of the Black experience. Therefore, distinct satis- fying preoccupations arise for entertainment. Emotionally, these weekend, Greek-produced functions, commonly re- ferred to as 'LShit Dances, easea great deal of tension and academic strain. For a freshman, it proves to be an opportune time to meet upperclassmen and become tuned to the vital social outlets provided by Black Greeks. Many students, even on the freshman level, avoid these social functions. One of the reasons for this is the apparent tendency for parties to be- come habit forming and debilitate one's academic perfor- mance. Some students have even accused the Greeks of ad- ding to the flunk-out rate of Black students by rigorous pledge periods and a constant stream of partying. But as one accelerates and assumes upperclass standing, the dances become less popular as course work intensifies. Academically, adjusting to KSU as a freshman could be compared to wandering through an endless maze. If a Black student attended a large, inner-city and predominantly Black high school, it might take a considerable amount of time before he is comfortable enough to accept the micro- cosmic reality of his existence at KSU. Like a directionless maze, he strives to formulate friendships, perfect studying techniques and then bleakly realizes that his past schooling was remiss in equipping him with some basic skills for learn- mg. Paramount among the problems faced by Blacks in their first year and throughout their tenure is the inadequate high school education with which they've been trained. Often feeling as though they are continuously catching up, they seek the assistance of many services in the University, espe- cially the Institute for African American Affairs, to strengthen these deficiencies. James Gray, a junior from East Technical High School in Cleveland, expressed the view of many of his peers when he opined, If I could return to high school, I would stress every subject and make the curriculum more difficult for college prep students. The teachers just didn't care. Depending on a students' maturity or psychological moti- vations, the first year at KSU can be mentally draining. Technical terms are casually uttered in lectures as the stu- dent attempts to define his purpose and ponders if the col- lege experience is worth the effort. Either poorly advised as to how to obtain a counselor or poorly counseled, Black students often find themselves in classes in which their past backgrounds will be of no benefit. In addition to the counseling and special services which might be applied to improve the academic performance of Black students, another mitigating factor is friendship bonds. When passing other Blacks on campus, Black stu- dents acknowledge each's presence with a warm, idiomatic greeting to reinforce oneness in an immense white environ- ment. Because of this, friendships are often formed quicker and because of the experiences shared, they are often more binding. After a Black student accepts the cultural reality that he is truly a minority at KSU and after he realizes he needs help in some basic skills, the next problem is determining a major. Once again, depending on the student's maturity and psychological motivations, the selection of a major can be a terrific task. Unlike some middle-class students who may pursue a ma- jor because a father or some relative is ah'eady employed in that profession. some Black students have a difficult time selecting and maintaining the same major for four years. Judging from a random poll involving 73 Black students ranging from freshman to senior standing, the biggest factor in selecting a major was interest. Thirty students revealed they chose their major because it was what they wanted to dog 18 decided their major because Black people needed their professions: another 18 selected their major because it pays well and is economically secure: seven picked their majors due to the insistence of parents or relatives: one picked his major because it is easy. Maintaining the same major for four years is a challenge. Of the 73 students polled, 15 were seniors. Of that 15, six admitted they had changed majors at least once. One senior had changed majors three times. Clearly, these statistics indicate the sensitive and flexible nature of pursuing a career through academia. 'There comes an awakening one clay when you realize you haven't been taught anything relevant to Black people.' ---- Myrick Furthermore, the College of Education was the depart- ment where the majority of the students, curriculum re- sided. The College of Arts and Sciences was second in popu- larity. The School of Fine and Professional Arts was third and only two students were enrolled in aerospace tech- nology. When asked how much faith they had in the system pro- viding jobs when they graduated, more than half of the students expressed a dismal, eschatological view about the American economic, social and political structure. Thirteen students expected the American economy to be bankrupt by the time they graduated, 17 expect the system to pro- vide jobs and six were thoughtless on the subject. With all the brouhaha about academic relevance and ulti- mate purpose after one graduates from KSU, many Black students are stunned when they enter the real world and discover they were mis-educated. Connie Myrick, a senior, sums up this fret: There comes an awakening one day when you try to relate what you've learned in terms of taking it back to your community. You realize you havenit been taught anything relevant to Black people. Being in elementary education and special educa- tion, I've been required to take classes that teach you how to amuse the children through HPER and art courses, but not how to deal with them as people. 'Q IAAA: ENT STATE'S Center for Pan African Culture is . the headquarters for Black expression. Progres- sing from a six-room cubbyhole in Lowry Hall to a more spacious first-floor dwelling in the Old Union, the I center houses offices, classrooms, a library and a theatre. It also holds two lounges that students use as a place to rest and wrap. , The center is under the guidance of the Institute for Afri- can American Affairs, which exists mainly to meet the cul- I tural needs of the Black community at KSU. Black education, Black consciousness and an awareness of Black lifestyles in general are promoted by the staff at the Institute. The educational programming focuses on African-oriented lifestyles, languages, community health i and development, arts, communication skills and campaigns for African liberation. , Is the Black community genuinely attracted to the Insti- tute? lt appears that way, said Dr. Edward Crosby, direc- tor of IAAA. We register more students each year. Supportive of Crosby's statement are the results of the course evaluation surveys that students complete at the end of the quarter.

How do most Black students feel about the Institute? Most students exhibit a genuine interest in what is being taught here. commented Hulda Smith, instructor of communication skills, particularly those subjects which speak to the Black cultural and historical heritage. They realize they are learning something about them- selves that has been denied them and will only be recalled by the efforts of institutions such as the IAAA. Von Young, a senior who frequents the Institute, said, The IAAA is about me. People say you can get an easy 'A' at the Institute. They think it is easy. but they never stopped to think why. For me the classes are easy because they relate to me. The in- structor comes from my point of view. Yes, some students have come here because they think they can 'get over', Smith said. We don't change our methods for these students. We just try to show them that everyone has to work--and work hard--for what he wants. Carlos Cato, Black United Students' grievance minister, stated that Institute courses are definitely helpful. It's just that some students take the courses to get a good grade and d0n't try to apply the point that the IAAA is trying to get across. If that frame of mind could be changed, it would be better. A lot of people say the Institute turns you against whitesf, said Young. None of the instructors I've had tried to turn me against whites. They just taught me from a Black perspective? Henry Nickerson, a student who has been active in the Institute's theater productions, commented that the Institute has a warm environ- ment like a home away from home. lt's a place to be proud of, said Lewis Williams, It's a nice place to take visitors because of the atmos- pheref' Unlike other buildings on campus, the Institute's walls are covered with Q colorful illustrations done by students -15515. g showing dramatic and abstract -5 interpretations of the Black ex- perience. Summing up the general feeling of students toward the Institute, Walter Johnson said the IAAA is an outlet for frustrations? When someone comes through the Institue upset about a grade, f'there's always somebody there to tell you to 'hang tough'. S' ahah Qption to go Greek IVING IN an age where there are so many diver- sions, college students must decide what to do with their spare time. An option which most Black students are certain to ponder is whether to join a fraternity, pledge a sorority, become a little sister to a frat or remain independent of Greek life, known as GDI or Goddamn independent. Darrell Hudson, a junior, says of pledging, If that's what they want to do. it's cool for the girls: the fellows ought to stay away from that. Known as an avid basketball player, Darrell says pledging doesn't make any sense to him. However, Cissy, a junior majoring in elementary education, says, I think it's a way of bringing people together on the basis of true communication. Cissy is a pledge of Delta Sigma Theta sorority. Having taken the whole route, Idon't see any relevance in pledging any longer, says Joice Smith, an inactive mem- Story by Diane Adrine ber of Zeta Phi Beta sorority. She was also an Alphabet, which is the little sister group to Alpha Phi Alpha frater- nity. I find now when you take a realistic look at what you learned while pledging, such as history, codes and hand shakes, you have to ask yourself the validity in this and what's so secretive about the whole thingf, Joice says. Joice explains, HI feel that a lot of pledges are asked to compromise their manhood and that many things are done in the name of teaching only humility. Black folks have been humble to white people too long for us to degrade ourselves to each other. Joice is a senior majoring in adver- tising. I am my own man, says Carlos Cato, an industrial man- agement major. I take enough stuff out there on the foot- ball fieldf' Carlos is a member of KSU,s Golden Flashes and ajunior. He continued, saying, I am a stone GDI! After dealing with my books, I only have a little time for myself. I feel as if I could see they tfratsl had something to offer me in the long run besides being strictly social maybe then I'd pledge. Right now I got,s to have some time. Plus I'm in BUS tBlack United Studentsj and I feel by working in BUS, I can work more with and for the people. .lane-Ellen Dawkins, a senior journalism major, said she's for f'Me Phi Me or 'Me Phi I but pledging is not for me. She says, I can have just as many friends without joining a sorority. I don,t need it but I don't knock it.', Jane said she thinks little sister organizations do a dis- service to the women who pledge them. The connotation is not what they make it to be and a reputation usually fol- lows the girlsf' she adds. A member of Omega Psi Phi fraternity, Van Anthony Amos explains, I think 'little sisters' are unnecessary. When you have a maleffemale relationship such as this, the women become 'bros' in a sense, but not really. It's a big letdown to the women, which creates a lot of animosity. Linda Lester, a Que T, Gerald Bryant, a member of Kap- pa Alpha Psi fraternity, and others say their pledging mo- tives stemmed from such reasons as liking to be with people and seeking brotherhood and socialization. However, when it comes to identifying, there will always be different opinions towards achieving a oneness. Many GDIs will agree with Carl Sims, a zoology major, who says, I don't think that it's tpledgingj healthy toward ultimate Black unity. I've observed the behavior of some and because of the competition, they can be more destructive than con- structivef' Or some agree with Cornell Moore, who says there should be no more frats between Black people. He feels frats cause dissension and are irrelevant. No matter how one looks at Greek letter organizations and GDIs, the main goal should be unity, whether this means uniting within an organization or independently. -3.4 :I .

S. funding Why it was cut off and an answer from those who suffered EETING AFTER meeting, hours of frustration, nu- merous hair-pulling sessions and arguments of def- inition where even a dictionary could not help marked Black United Student's tBUSl attempt to get alloca- tions for l974-75. BUS's money problems began Dec. 20, 1973, when a stop-posting request, which closes an account. was applied to BUS' university account by the director of Student Ac- counts. At that time BUS had incurred a deficit amounting to S2,528, according to Warren E. Graves, director of Student Accounts. In the spring of 1974, BUS members became suspicious of its financial accounts. The account was closed due to an alleged deficit of 52,528 lt was at that time I took the matter to the police. said Marvin Tucker, former BUS Progressive Council member, and asked for an investigation into the possible illegal spending of BUS funds. Dr. Richard Bredemeier, dean for Student Group Affairs, told BUS if the investigation showed an individual commit- ted fraud resulting in criminal prosecution where restitution could be made to BUS, its deficit would be removed. In the meantime, however, BUS was ineligible for 1974-75 allocations because its debt exceeded the S50 debt ceiling for groups requesting allocations as set up in the allocation guidelines. During the summer, Brian Anderson, executive secretary of student government,-offered BUS and all other groups with deficits of more than S50 a deal. If the organization could provide a budget for 3076 of its allocation, it would be able to receive that 30? for mo ney-making activities to help relieve its deficit. lf the deficit was completely removed, the organization would be eligible to receive 50W of its original allocation, according to the guidelines. BUS members argued that such a stipulation was unfair Story by Cindy Brown because it Hjeopardized and penalized the new BUS admini- stration for the mistakes of the past ones. BUS then sought out KSU President Glenn A. Olds for help. Olds set up a meeting with BUS, student government representatives and administrative members to discuss the funding problems. At the meeting BUS and Anderson agreed to meet to try to solve the problem. ln October, Anderson awarded BUS a S700 grant from the Student Government Contingency Fund to operate the African Liberation School, BUS' pet project. The school is designed to help children of African descent from the Skeels-McElrath communities to improve academic studies. Also in October, the investigation showed that 52,025 of BUS' deficit had been illegally spent by an individual in the organization but BUS was still S745 in debt. At that time, Anderson and administrative officials decid- ed that another 52,100 in outstanding bills owed by BUS outside its university account would now be included in BUS' total deficit. BUS thought the decision to be unfair and pleaded that it had no knowledge of last year's deficit spending. When members had become suspicious, BUS told Anderson, they went directly to the police. The university made a iaundiced decision ln November, with approval of Anderson and the Student Affairs Council, BUS received a 81,400 grant to finance Black Homecoming. BUS suffered a S250 loss from the Homecoming events due to poor attendance. At the end of winter quarter, BUS' deficit remained at S2,852. The weekend of March l, BUS planned a series of money-making events to help raise money to erase its defi- cit. The organization also requested that each Black person on campus save five cents a day for four weeks and donate the sum to BUS. If each black person donated one dollar, then BUS would have received Sl ,000, according to Darlene Evans, minister of social and cultural events. These projects were BUS' attempt to erase its debts and its inability to qualify for allocations for 1975-76. Alloca- tion guidelines for 1975-76 set the debt ceiling at S100 for groups requesting funding. 120 An editorial Where can I find a man governed by reason instead of habits and urges? Kahlil Gibran LACK UNITED Students QBUSJ entered the 1974-1975 academic year facing a dismal predica- ment. Despite an increase in out membership and despite a heightened enthusiasm to legitimize and consoli- date our interests with the university community, the Stu- dent Affairs Council QSACJ stripped the organization of its annual student activities allocation and BUS did not receive one penny. The justification for this economic deprivation was im- puted to be a deficit which the organization had sustained during the 1973-1974 academic year. Although there is some credence to the charge that this deficit was caused by irresponsible leadership and poor tiscal management of past BUS leaders, questions remain. Was the university intimi- dated by the present economic plunge? Did it seek, with the convenient charge of the deficit, to retain some funds or did it plot to force the demise of BUS? One's imagination need not stretch too far to believe that the university made a jaundiced decision Is it a mere coincidence or a calculated scheme of self-interest when, within the span of a year and a half, BUS loses not only its news organ, The Black Watch, but also its total allocation? Is it a coincidence or a calculated scheme of self-interest when Admissions Office statistics reveal that the Black stu- dent population has increased and at the same time BUS, the only organization that functions for the direct needs of Black students, is being selfishly drained of its basic ser- vices? In both questions, the latter is suspect. When BUS began seven years ago, it rallied together around a truism that academia did not consider the real cultural interests of Black students. Black students have an obligation to themselves and the communities from which they come. We are not content to improve what has aheady been accomplishedg we are striving to achieve that which has not yet been done. If KSU is truly s' dedicated to the development of human resources, as the bronze plaque in the Administration Building reminds us, why has the administration apparently taken such an adamant stand against BUS? Totally abandon- ing its own motto, the university seems to have supplanted it with the cold diatribe, If you're Black stay back. This viewpoint is not designed to inflame passion or ani- mosity between BUS and the administration. The writers recognize that Black students have also contributed to the apparent strangulation of BUS. Allied with the university's arsenal for the legal dismantlement of BUS, Black students have, through their own self-defeating passivity, allowed the university to ravage and gnaw at BUS' accomplishments. The time has long since passed for Black students to unite. Similarly, but for different reasons, it's long past due for the administration and BUS to unite. A gap now exists between us which must be closed by an open-minded sym- biosis. Otherwise, the events of the past will continue to reincarnate and deepen this chasm of ignorance and disre- spect. Hopefully, the recession will not compel the admini- stration to inflict further encroachments upon us. Memorializing what has been a most black year for Black students, it's very ironic that this editorial can appear in the Chestnut Burr as we hope for improvements in the future.

I longed for the 'peace and tranquility' of the class- room, joked Bernard Hall of his choice to leave his post as executive vice president and provost to resume teaching eco- nomics. Hall came to Kent in 1957, but actually started admini- strating in 1960. Since that time, he has founded the Bureau of Business and Economic Research, which he directed for two years. Hall has been offered administrative positions at other universities, but turned them down, saying, I wanted to get back to teaching after 15 years of being an administrator.

Last year. rumor had it that football Coach Don James was resigning his post to take a higher paying position else- where, but James reassured fans he would be back next year. True to his word. he returned, but at the close of the 1974 football season, he made another announcement: his resignation to become head football nation is uncertain, but there had been claims by Black United Students that he discriminated when recruiting Black players. Fans in general complained of his failure to produce winning seasons. A 14-10 record in 1968-69 and 13-11 in 1970-71 were the only two winning campaigns out of Truitt's eight years of coaching. I guess the resignation was prompted by lack of success in the basketball profession, com- ! '7- coach at the University of Washing- ton. James signed a contract at Wash- ington worth approximately 350,000 a year. His salary at KSU was S25,000. The Flashes, often called the James Gang, captured the Mid American Conference crown in 1972, ,KSU's first MAC football title, under James' leadership. The team also re- corded a 9-2 mark in the same season. J. Dennis Fitzgerald, defensive co- ordinator of the Flashes for four years. succeeded James as head coach.

It offers many grains, nut and herbs unobtainable through chain-stores, as well as other natural products. Many vegetarians claim the information in Diet for a Small Planet caused their conversions. The book extensively covers the processes used in today's cattle farms to prepare the herds for market, and types of insecticides and other chemicals used in food preparation and their effects on the body. Readers claim that once you learn what you're consu- ming by eating the cow that ate the grass that was sprayed with poison, you'll no longer be able to do so without feel- ing some sort of physical or mental disturbance. One girl said the reason behind her conversion to vegetar- ianism was the realization of how ridiculous the process is. Not only do we kill other animals to feed ourselves when we could eat plants, but if we didn't feed the animals all that grain to make them fat, we could use that food to wipe out stawation. I grew up on meat, too, but now just the thought of having flesh in my mouth disturbs me, she said. On campus, a vegetarian line at Eastway was begun in mid-fall. The line serves the usual salad, bread and yogmt, plus granola, cheeses and a different set of entrees daily. It may not be equal to Genisis or Earth by April, two meatless restamants in Cleveland, but the project maintains its own gastronomic value. Most people deal with the co-op in weekly bulk orders of non-meat food, using a check-off sheet like the one at left. The volunteers who help truck in the food enjoy a Friday night supper. - L...

The bright florescent lights shine on rows of gigantic vats, big enough to fit two people. Huge pots, enormous bowls, pitchers and massive pans and trays fill the shiny metallic tables. Overhead hang large ladles, skimmers, spoons and beaters. Six pressure cookers of washing machine size stare men- acingly at the rows of grills and the larger-than-laundry-size basins that line the wall. Working with this equipment are the gold-uniformed, white-aproned cafeteria ladies. They prepare the food which is so often complained about. Clara, a breakfast cook, says there is little difference be- tween the way she cooks her food at home and the way it's prepared at Lake-Olson. The only difference is in the volume made and frozen products used. For instance, take the scrambled eggs, she explains. They come frozen and we just thaw them and fry them up. In the meat department of the kitchen, frozen foods are used more frequently than in earlier years, according to one employe nicknamed Boots. We have to doctor up some of Story by Inge Orendt these frozen meats more, she says, By using different seasonings and spices. In the salad department, procedures haven't changed much over the years, but now there is a larger variety. One motherly-type lady remembers, Years ago we'd only have two salads, a tossed one and maybe ajello. Now we have four or five. Nancy, a student helper who works in salads, says herjob consists of filling salad bowls, making salad dressings and filling condiments. She sums up her job as boring. An elderly full-time employe disagrees. She has been wor- king in the salad department for over 12 years and says she loves it. Every day is a challenge, she insists. The atmosphere in the huge kitchen is busy and friendly. The full-time employes are in agreement about working with students, they all like it and wish they could have even more contact with them. A blond-haired dishwasher appears and drapes his arms around a gray-haired lady with a southern accent. This here is beautiful sweet lovable Marief' he says. Marie, a supervisor, thinks students are wonderful . She points at the blond and scolds except for this one, he never works on weekends because he's always out gettin' drunk! The blond retreats back into the dishroom where the 128 whirr of the dishwasher and the constant clatter of dishes and tableware force one to yell in order to be heard. We have a lot of fun back here, shouts one dishwasher. We scream at each other and throw water and stuff. Other employe's comments arenlt as cheerful. For a buck ninety an hour too much is expected of us, he grumbles. Split shifts, too many people calling in sick and not enough help were other complaints that were voiced. Keep the supervisors out of hereli' yells one girl with long red hair. She confesses to stealing dinner every night, easy, saying she knows of three or four other employes that do the same. About ll workers help in the dishroom daily. What about other forms of stealing? According to the dishwashers there, the lifting of silverware, glasses and dishes are not as high as with students out there who eat in the cafeteria. But if you ever need a table setting for ZOO... jokes one employe. The amount of waste compared to last year tbefore the coupon systemj has definitely declined, says another dishwasher. A food server named Bobbi, who sees hundreds of stu- dents go through the cafeteria line, says she is amazed at what some students try to get away with. Some kids take bites of things and put them back, they put cookies in their pockets or scoop half of the salad from one bowl and dump it on their own. It's disgusting, she says. li lSee next page.l ln a one-pagenewsletter distributed by food service last fall, rising costs were partially fixed to civil service wages, though the pay of part-time student dish- washers, above, remained frozen. For self-serve lines, at right, the cost of any item is determined by the actual cost of the raw food product purchased, plus an amount equal to the percent of the total food service budget that is reserved for non-food cost items. ye- V' ,af X gm' A 'fu .',. . ear 4-XX lContinued from page 129.l Mary Smith, a cafeteria lady who has worked in dorms for 12 years says these kinds of actions are common and have always occurred, even before the coupon system.

This is Dirt Rowdy coming your way from the glamorous Beall-McDowell Cafeteria here at Beautiful Kent State University, bringing you the final serves of the last quarter of play here at the frst annual NCAA Food Coupon Rip-Offs-I mean Play-Offs. With me is that epitome of American Sportscasters, Mr. Coward Nosell. Take it away, Coward. COWARD NOSELL: Well, thank you, Dirt. Hello there, fans. This confrontation promises to be a real test of wills. The Administration is heavily favored. Their Student Housing and Feeding Team, known as SHAFT, has really been giving it to the Students all year. The Students are pinning their hopes on young Heimy Fensterwald, a freshman from Shaker Heights, who holds the indoor track record for getting through the SHAFT line--15 minutes and three seconds. Unfortunately, the cafe- teria wasn.t open at the time. Heimy started the season weighting 200 pounds, but with rigorous training and a strict diet, he's now down to 98. The SHAFT team hopes to counter with their ace goal tender, Gertrude Goose Gosling. She's been guarding those entree's all year, and really knows how to stick it to 'em. It promises to be a tooth and nail fight. The competition all year has really been grueling, and with the gruel the SHAFT team dishes out thatis not sur- prising. Each of the Students had to pay S160 just to enter, and if that sounds like a bunch of crap, well, there's a lot on the line here. Back to you, Dirt. ROWDY: Thanks again, Coward. And now, for today's starting Menu: The Offensive Line Triple Threat Salad .20 Clammy Chowder .20 l Chicken Gotchatory .85 Noodles Roaming-Off .55 Mystery Meat .70 Chocolate-Covered Hard-Boiled Egg on a Stick, with or without Shell .30 Soft-Boiled .25 Apple Pie ala Commode .25 Puddin--Smooth or Chunky .15 Plus assorted beverages and condemned- I mean condiments. And now, for the playing and singing of our National Anthem. Do you see any salt, Or are my eyes at fault? Have some mystery meat fries, Or the hamburger surprise. 0 say, do they still serve that Same old food again today, That they served the same old way- Only yesterday? O say, can you spy Any fruit in my pie? Any meat in my stew, Or some carrots, just a few? Oh, the gas, grunts and groans, Oh, the heartbum and moans, Those sounds just like guns, Now we've all got the runs. NOSELL: You know, Dirt, every time I hear that song, I get a funny sensation deep down inside. ROWDY I Yeah, Coward, I know what you mean. NOSELL: Well, it's been a long season, and we're winding down to the final serve. Fensterwald has only 52.00 left. The question is, can he make it through the last supper? Lord knows, his chances are pretty slim. ROWDY: All right, fans, the doors are opening--and-he's off!! Heimy grabs a tray and starts down the line! Ouch!--thereis a quick swipe for the salad, and a hard right for the jello--followed by a fast grab for the fruit pie! Ow!-there's a glancing blow to the deviled eggs, and an upper-cut to the pudding! Wow!-there's a sharp jab right into the bread basket!! Boy!--this kid is sharp tonight! Goose Gosling is really guarding that goal, though. Heill have a hard time getting by those entrees. Here he comes. Oh, no! He's pointing at the chicken! It's her serve. Wow!-she did it! Right down the middle of the plate. Letis see that again on instant replay. NOSELL: Well, Dirt, that was really a nice move by Gos- ling. Fensterwald had no choice. It was either the chicken, or mystery meat, and she really laid it in there. ROWDY: She sure did. Now back to the live action. Heimy's heading for the milk dispenser. He'll have to take two glasses to wash it down. Now he's heading for the -Fumble!! Fumble!! I think heis dropped his mashed pota- toes. Did you see that, Coward? NOSELL: I sure did, Dirt. Another student cut in front of him heading for the pay line, and he just lost control. They splattered all over the track. Weive got a yellow flag until the debris is cleared. This is Fensterwald's third fumble this year, Dirt. He's going back for another bowl, but I'm afraid he's lost valuable time. Back to you, Dirt. ROWDY: O.K., Coward. As usual, you're right on top of everything. Back to live action. He's heading for the pay line. Helen Wait is guarding the register for the SHAFT Team She's looking over his tray very carefully. She's really punching those buttons. She's to the 203 she's to the 40, sheis to the 50. Sheis up to 75! She's up to 51.00 She's up to SL05! It looks like sheis going all the way! 81.75 ! S2.00! Score!! The Students are shafted again!! Well, Coward, it looks like another victory for the Administration. NOSELL: It sure does, Dirt. The SHAFT Team seems to be holding all the knives. Of course, there are rumors that there may be some big changes in the line-up next year. ROWDY: Don't you believe it, Coward. The old days are gone. This is the big league, now. No more free passes. You gotta buy your tickets. NOSELL: Maybe so, Dirt. Well, fans, there you have it. The final score, once again, is SHAFT-l, Students-0. ROWDY: Well, fans, be sure to be with us again next year, when we'll bring you the second annual Food Coupon Rip-Offs from Lake-Olson. Until then, this is Dirt Rowdy, speaking for Coward Nosell, saying good-bye, and happy eating. Coupon system. o real grind WAS A good student at Kent. He never caused any undue trouble, he knew how to act. He was quiet- ly respectful to faculty, brazenly superior with other students. He was like everybody else-Everyman. K was always ready to engage in discussions, taking the proper role of agreement. He knew how to get along in the institution of higher education. So it happened that one day K went about his usual routine. He walked into the dining area of his residence hall, perused the assemblage of lukewarm greasy offerings, fought his way through the masses of other hungry. harried, hurried people for his few meager spoonfuls of gruel, and took his place in the conga line. which inched centipede-like toward the computerized finale. There was the usual buzzfmumble of complaints over ser- vice, quantity, quality, edibility and excretion but for once K took no part. He was tiredghe felt the need for quiet. All the complaints had verity but K's search for Socratic truth was the victim of Fatigue. But there was a new commotion today. The buzz! mumble was almost a roar. There were huddles of conspi- racy, the electricity of defiance in the air, papers being passed about. Here, sign this, somebody said, shoving a clipboard at K. We're boycotting the damn capitalistic Food Service until they meet our demands. I'd really rather not, he answered, passing the paper back. The last time he signed anything on a clipboard he found himself investigated by the FBI. In itself this was not so unusual at Kent, but the knowledge of it made K uneasy and cautious. What are you, some kind of administration lackey!? demanded the clipboard owner. Hey everybody! This guy don't want to sign up for the boycott. He likes the food here. He thinks the Food Service should get rich off usf, Well, the upshot of it all was that a large assemblage of students gathered around reluctant K and eventually pres- sured him into signing. As the days passed, the drive for a boycott grew and the Kent Interhall Council designated leaders to negotiate with food administration representatives over the demands of the students. Things were progressing well. K noticed the change in the cafeteria as well. There seemed to be more food, more meat especially. Perhaps his signature on the clipboard had stood for something after all. But he still found himself looking over his shoulder and wondering when they would catch up with him. Catch up with him they did. One day K became ill. It was just after lunch when he had consumed a particularly greasy hamburger. They took him to the Health Center. Story by A.M. Murray K.I.C. sponsored a petition to free students from year-long coupon contracts and to make coupons redeemable during any quarter. Some dorm students, opposite left, boycotted the cafeterias with their own cookouts-here joined by a friend who had been on the system too long, Margy Haeffner, opposite fboxj, had her own special encounter with the economics of eating. He went through the usual routine. Poking and jabbing, filling out forms, pull down your pants, cough. A smiling ogre of a nurse came in, clipboard in hand. Zo, she said with a German accent. Ve haff here a zick boy. She looked at the clipboard in her hand. Per- haps vone should be sayink a zick boycotter. . .ya? Immediately K knew his goose was quite literally cooked. Zo,', smiled the nurse, revealing large pointed teeth and blood red gums. you are vantink der food to cost less. Ya? Und you are vantink more food. But you are too zick to eat. Maybe you are dyink from der cheap food, ya? K could no longer maintain his grip on reality. He swooned, his mind tumbled through a dizzying whirlpool. He felt he was plumetting down into an abyss, into a huge meat grinder. The grinder turned, made squishing, sucking noises and out the mouthcameground K. ' The students on the coupon system were very pleased with the new changes in the system. There was more food and you had to pay less for it. Funny thing, though,all those students who had supported the boycott seemed to be mis- sing. -1 Y WA-M-,,,,,,...........ll xx ai, f x ,- l' Qu-elu.lu .S:..:l.'f ,- 'Q for some If Q I I l 1 l aw 3: V' Y 1 if t N M Y -.7 Y like 4?

She was of a hunger to eat ten men, yea, and all that she desireth was a slab of beef and peas. An Ethiope, put at the head of the supper line, was wise and full of sage and fairness and compassion on the starving girl. Don't pay for that beef all by itself, honey...', and ven- tured to share the secret of The Special with the muddled, disbelieving youth. Wait a minute! Hold it! I don't want all of that extra stuff. I don't want to pay for your potatoes and carrots or a salad or anything else you call Specialf' But you'll only pay 31.50 for The Special, and with those peas, that beef plate 'ud cost 81.90. Take my advice, save the 40 cents and throw away anything you don't want. And yea, she learned at Olson, the most valuable lesson in her Kent adventure. Story by J.

His reward for all his efforts is seeing his name buried somewhere at the bottom of a sports page under a headline reading Harriers streak to victoryf' Dwight Kier, captain of Kent State's successful 1974 cross country team, is one of the many young men who toil year round to condition themselves for the grueling pace of a cross country race. Why does Kier participate in such a demanding, yet unglamourous, sport? I like to run and the competition is thrilling, Kier explained. But it is a lot of hard work. There are good times and bad times. There were mostly good times for Kier during the '74 cross country season. The 5-8, 125-pound senior mighty-mite from Pittsburgh, Pa., had seven first place finishes, two seconds and four thirds in regular season meets. In post season races, Kier came ln second in the Mid-American Confer- ence Championships, finished fifth in the NCAA Region 4 meet and placed 23rd at the NCAA Championships.

Not so for Daryle Griffin. For four years, the Kent State cornerback has gone with- out a payday. Hoping--and expecting--to play, week after week, season after season, but never quite making it. Long hours of grueling practice, two-a-day workouts in the summer, the physical hurt on the practice field and, maybe worse, the mental hurt on Saturday when heis stand- ing on the sidelines watching someone else do his job, while his labors go unheralded. So how does a talented player like Daryle stick with it, especially as a senior with little chance of ever making it to the top? It's definitely hard,'i he says. But I have deep personal pride. There were several times I felt like quitting, but my parents and my friends gave me a lot of support. They helped me see it in a different light. If I had quit, it would have been just that much easier to quit on something else later in life. It hurts not playing. I feel like I should play more than I do, but the young guys are really good. From a coach's standpoint, I can understand. To tell the truth, it's like a horror movie sometimes. I can't believe it's happening. Griffin was a superstar in high school when he was the runningmate of another Griffin-a fellow by the name of Archie, the Ohio State phenomenom who is Daryle's brother. S0 after a very productive prep career and great expectations of the same in college, maybe it's even harder for Griffin to accept the role of a non-starter than it would be for someone else. Then there's the often-asked question: What's it like being the brother of perhaps the best running back in the country? iSee next page.l Story by Charlie Stricklen Daryle Griffm on t.he sidelines. 5 4 fur two Flashes LARRY POOLE Height: 6'1 Weight: 191 Age 22 High School Akron Garfield Major Phys1calEducat1on Future Plans: Professional football OR LARRY Poole, the last four years have been quite a good time. One of the most highly prized prep football players in the country when he graduated from Akron Garfield High School in 1971, Poole has put together one of the most successful grid careers in Kent State history. What more could a college football player ask for? Poole has, to mention a few things: - been a starter in almost every game he has suited up for. - played, and played well, in KSU's only visit to a post-season bowl game. - finished second in the nation in scoring. - rushed for more than 1,000 yards a season. I don't think I'll ever have any regrets about playing football at Kent State, Poole says. This school is going places in football and I'm glad I can say I was part of itf' But then, the KSU experience has only been a part of a football career filled with good times. Poole has started in the backfield for one team or another ever since he learned how to tuck away a pigskin. A lot of would-be tacklers wish he would never have bothered to learn. I guess I'm what you call a hard runner, he says. The Larry Browns and Franco Harrises--they're my type. You get the ball and go straight ahead-it's the easiest way to get where you want to gof' Being 6'1 and 191 pounds make the job that much easier. Poole's job hasn't been without its uneasy moments, however. When a team has the talent that KSU has, there will often be more than one man vying for the same posi- tion. KSU's tailback situation is no exception. Danny Watkins also like to see his name in the starting lineup. f'Having a guy like Danny competing with me gives me a tremendous incentive, Poole says. We are two different types of runners--he can do some things better than me and I do other things better than him. The competition brings out the best in both of us. ' lSee ne t .l Story by Bob Baptist X Page Larry Poole after a play. It hurts not playing. I feel like I should play more. From C1 COGCHS standpoint, I can understand' --Griffin lContinued from page 144.l I don't think of Archie as being any different than any other brother. We're very close and we're concerned about how things go for each other. Even though I'm not there lat Ohio Statel with him, I'm there spiritually, Being the brother of a superstar doesn't have that much of an effect on me. Archie has had alot of success in foot- ball, but our family is accustomed to that. We were all stars in high school tArchie, Daryle and younger brother, Raymond, who is also at Ohio Statel, so it's not a new thing. Perhaps in terms of long range benefits, Daryle has re- ceived more from his college career than many who are more successful. He has surely bolstered what was already a strong character. And underneath it all, isn't that what it's all about? A B. Jon E as D. Mead Watching the action from the sidelines, Griffin, top and bottom left, sees others do his job.

Watkins has, in fact, captured that elusive starting assign- ment a few times. There's nothing like starting, but I can see the coach's 7 ' point sometimes when Danny starts, Poole admits. Who- ever the offense moves best with deserves to be in theref, The topic of professional football naturally comes up when talking to Poole. HIt'll be unreal if I get drafted--I've always wanted to play pro ballf, he says. And ifl do make it, I'll work hard to become a good pro, not just your average Sunday ball- player. Does the prospect of riding the bench enter into Poole's .E mind? E Oh, therels a lot of talent at every position in the pros ,S and I might not be playing as much as I,d like when Ifirst E get up there, but like I say, money makes a man do strange -i things. fs, .fin up . ii -I 95' av xt .V .- gr..-1 -U.

Rubenstein Rated as a team very likely to win the Mid-American Conference, the Flashes' dreams were darkened after their disappointing loss to Bowling Green State University in mid-October. The rest of the fall added up to a season of frustra- tions. - 149 ll1lfIJa'R Qclyssey '- to 0 ford HE BARE facts of this story have been known for almost seven months now: Miami I9, Kent l7. Dave Draudt kicked a 39-yard field goal with six seconds showing on the clock to crush Kent's late game hopes for a victory over the team which spoiled their chance for a Tangerine Bowl bid last year. As the blue and silver KSU buses pulled out of Dix Stadium parking lot at l2:30 Friday afternoon headed for Oxford and Miami Field, the 90 or so players and coaches knew that their 6-3 showing this year was not the perfor- mance expected from a team picked to sweep the MAC title. With their championship hopes nothing but a past dream, they prepared to meet the very real Miami football team. Ranked l3th in the Associated Press poll, the Redskins led the MAC in offense, defense, rushing and scoring. The was cut out for Kent. They had to revenge last year's humiliation and prove they were the team everyone said they were before the season started. It was a matter of pride. Story by Dan Ernst By 10 p.m. Saturday the buses had deposited the last of the tired and sore team in the freezing night in front of Dix Stadium. They had lost. Not from lack of desire, not from a lack of planning, not from anything you could put your finger on. They had marched onto the sun-drenched field at Miami and come up empty handed, but only by the barest of margins. This perhaps was the hardest way to lose. They had played superior football and nearly upset a nationally ranked team. The loss was shattering. As the buses pulled out of the gym parking lot in Miami, a deliriously happy fan yelled, Hey, Kent, what hap- pelted? A barely audible reply came from a darkened seat, Next year, sonny. Next year. And that seemed to put the loss into its proper perspec- tive. The Flashes had wanted to win so badly and the loss was a bitter pill to swallow, but it was a game after all.. There would be another next week and another next year. There was still time. ,. J' ,su- uv- qu.:-.. f. . ..,. .. V , -K ,A-n..-1 ,Z L. Rubenstein With their hopes of a championship past, the Golden Flashes went afier Miami. The players tried to rest before the game as best they could through sleep, opposite bottom, or meditation, left. For Greg Kokal, below left, it was a time for planning play stragety. 151 The 250 miles to Oxford were slow and tiring on the bus. No one spoke above a whisper the entire five and a half hours. Some tried to read, some tried to sleep, each was difficult on the swaying, bouncing bus. Coach James sat in the first seat and did not speak to anyone the entire trip. The strategy had been mappedg it was too late to change it. All that re- mained were the final preparations. Trainer Don Lowe and his assistants began to tape the many ankles with swift, skilled hands. Each man dealt with the awesome pressure in his own way. Center Henry Waszczuk medita- ted on a dock next to the hotel. Mid- dle guard Larry Faulk, later named MAC player of the week, could not eat with the rest of the silent team. In the locker room near the field the final taping and dressing took place. Trainer Mike Grunkemeyer gave quarterback Kokal an arm rub and Chuck Celek had his leg taped. The trainers would use 80 rolls of tape before they finished. When everybody was suited up Chaplain O'Brian asked for help from the Almighty in beating Miami. Everything else that could be done was done. On the field Miami was not over- powering Kent. The Kent defense was containing the Miami run and the Flashes had scored against the tough- est defense in the MAC. At halftime Kent was only down one touchdown. In the locker room Coach James asked for a field and a touchdown, in any order. In the second half neither team moved on the other until late in the fourth quarter when the Flashes moved down the field and Lan'y Poole scored, tying the game. Ken Brown's extra point put Kent ahead by one. The Kent bench exploded after four quarter of tremendous effort. The game was won. But one minute showed on the clock. Miami got the ball and drove down the field to the twenty six and kicked a field goal. The desperately longed for moment of victory had turned into... It was hardly believable that the precious win had been so briefly clasped and then lost. Coach James faced the questioning of reporters wanting toiknow how he felt and then retired to the locker room with his players. In the silence each tried to accept the loss in his own way. It would be a long ride back to Kent. In the dark cold of a rest stop someone remarked to Mrs. James that it had been a beautiful day earlier. No it wasn't,', she replied, we lost.'i - They were suited up, opposite top left, taped up, prepared through prayer, right, and finally brought onto the field to face the Redskins, below. 154 In the silence each tried to accept the loss in his own way.

She said she initially couldn't believe it. I didn't think KSU was ready for the change. But later, upon closer examination of her position, Kathy said it feels lonely to be s'queen of a predominantly white school. Something's missing, she observed, saying she received roses and two tickets to the Roy BuchananfFocus concert, along with a plaque which did not bear her name. Her motive for running for Homecoming Personality: cu- riosity. l knew I would make court, but I didn't expect to go any farther than that, she said. Kathy said the questioning procedure for selecting candi- dates wasn't challenging. It didn't demand much intelli- gCl1CC. I'm still curious about the purpose of Homecoming Per- sonality besidesjust a title. KSU has a beautiful campus, but the school appears to Story by Diane Adrine X ,- vw, , arm : N E .: cn : m N I -s me to be racist because of the way I was accepted, Kathy noted, saying she thought Homecoming was done in poor taste in some ways. Until the 1974 contest, the winner was traditionally awarded a S500 scholarship. I'll be back next year just to see if the next Home- coming Personality receives a scholarship. Whether I transfer or not, I'll crown whoever it is--male or female, she added. Some of her feelings were brought out when she said, No recognition was given to me at the ball. I had to leave because there was no true spirit shown in the traditional sense. Kathy is a 1973 graduate of Glenville High School in Cleveland. She is a sophomore at KSU majoring in special education. She said one of her goals is to counsel black juvenile delinquents at her high school alma mater. I think helping blacks is the main thing needed. My generation, has the world in its hands now and we can mold it or change it. We have to stand together-black, white, red, yellow and brown.

But, in an effort to make a positive dent in an ever-changing world-and because I was drunk and my roommate talked me into it',--Lee Paull ran for the coveted title of Home- coming Personality in 1974. We were here in Lake Hall drinking, Lee explained, and someone suggested we run a representative of our dorm. For some strange reason, I said okay, that I would do it. When talking of the myth of Homecoming, Paull said he feels no one actually knows what the tradition means, al- though it is supposed to show true spirit for the alumni. I think it was good and out of the ordinary, though, he reflected. I wanted to run to see the reactions of people: 'Is he gay?' or 'What are his motives?' In all, it was fun and differentf' His parents' reactions to the news of his candidacy were somewhat along these lines: 'fWhen my father heard about it, he said, 'He's running for Homecoming Queen. What is he?' My mother told him it was Homecoming Personality and then he said, 'Oh, that's okay. ' Paull said he thinks students should run for the title to save their sanity-just for the farce of it. I really wanted to walk across the field with my pant legs rolled up but it was too cold. Paull is a junior psychology major from Pittsburgh, Pa. Before transferring to KSU, he attended Allegheny Com- munity College, the University of Pittsburgh and Alliance School of Acting in Atlanta, Ga. Paull said he feels a warmth here between people he has never felt elsewhere. Everywhere I go, he noted, there is always somebody saying he lo. Story by Diane Adrine ,... 7,1 Q. lf! M74 .J,s. .

Sports enthusiasts are bicycling themselves to work and classes while others jog or walk to relieve the heavy frustra- tions of a day's work. Now more than ever since the turn of the century, exercise is the name of the game. At Kent State University, jogging has become a forerun- ner for full relaxation of the body. Day after day, at any hour around campus, professors, cross country runners and students can be seen virtually running for their lives, as jogging builds heart, lungs and circulatory vessels to help prevent coronary attacks. Dr. Lawrence A. Golding, physical education professor, is conducting a noon hour jogging program for the men in Kent. Townspeople, students and professors have been per- ticipating in this program. Rick Tauber, assistant director of intramurals, says, Peo- ple are getting away from varsity sports for more partici- pation and personal satisfaction. Right now the thing is self-defense. I suppose the women signing up are trying to protect themselves. A new campus exercise addition this year is a weight Story by Diane Adrine 'I'l O 1 E0 U! HI Q U' O C WI fb 1 0 1 '4 U' O Q.

The two main features of the room are the univer- sal gym, which makes it possible for more than one person to work out at a time, and the bench press. Although there is no weight lifting team atKent, students still practice this Olympic sport, and also work out with power lifting, which consists of the bench press, squat and dead lift. In regard to handball and raquetball, Tauber says, the courts are always filled. These sports have become very popular here. We have three courts open from 8 a.m. to ll p.m., with a one-hour reservation period for each, and they're filled every hour, every day. We also need another pool. Students always wish there was more open swimming time , says Tauber. He goes on to say that Roosevelt High School's swim team also uses the Memorial Gymnasium pool. The pool facilities at Wills Gymnasium have no time open for swimming. ln terms of exercise itself, aside from Foundations for MOVeITlent offered by the women's physical education de- partment, there is none, except for warm-up exercising and pre-season conditioning for various sports. Women's team competition includes gymnastics, swim- ming, volleyball, basketball, field hockey, golf, temiis, soft- ball and fencing. The performing groups are the square dan- cers, better known as the Fancy Flashers, and the modern dance club, called the Performing Dancers. j lSee next page.l A uf' . lki -1 ..1 x ,WF s 5.

Vannoy, assistant professor of physical education, and adviser of the Women's Recreation Association QWRAJ, intramurals, and the performing clubs. She said the physical education re- quirement has been dropped in some schools, so the interest has dropped somewhat.

Intramurals draw many students who enjoy a swimming, archery, Weightlifting, table tennis and basketball. One stu- dent, who was a lifequard here last summer, said swimming for the handi- capped was offered last summer in Memorial Pool, but people didn't take advantage of it. I don't know--it could have been they didn't have transportation. By all appearances, an increasing number of enthusiasts in Kent have put exercise in their lifestyles.

Kent has kept up with the surge of interest in tennis.

Rig- Ever wonder what it would be like to toll 5,000 feet over Kent? HADING MY eyes with my hand and squinting hard against the brilliant sun, I can just barely make out a tiny figure against the blue of the sky. The figure is suspended from a small inverted dish that grows larger with every second. Soon the figure is identifi- able as a man. His feet touch the ground with a quiet thump, the dish collapsing around him. He gathers the cloth together and stride toward me. Hi, I'm Jonathan Frickf' A big hand on a long arm that is covered with the green of a light-weight jump suit reaches out and smothers my own hand in a firm grip, pumping furiously. Billows of orange and white nylon seek to escape from under his left arm with every puff of wind on this hot day. What can I tell you about skydiving? he asks, fixing his intense gray eyes on mine. Still awed by the grace of his de scent to earth, I manage to relate how I am writing this story about skydiving for the KSU yearbook and how I thought it would be best to learn myself so I could tell the story from the inside out. Well, that won't be hard. Can you start today? Today? I choked. Doesn't it take a couple of weeks? Jon laughed and shook his head at my ignorance. Most people don't realize exactly what they are getting them- selves into when they come to learn to jump. Somehow that sounded rather ominous to me. The length of instruction time is actually quite short, he continued. If we start now, we can have you jumping Story by Dan Ernst by five oiclockf' Things were progressing much too fast for my taste and I was seriously wondering if I wanted the story that badly. Before I had a chance to say no I was moving toward the airport classroom on spongy knees. Jon was directing me with gentle pressure on my shoulder. Somewhere through my reluctant haze I heard a voice explaining the ins and outs of parachuting. The two most important parts of the whole expe- rience, said Jon in a tone that made me sure he had made the same speech to hundreds before me, are the aircraft exit and landing. You'll spend three hoursjust learning how to land without breaking your ankles. My right knee be- came much spongier. Your first jump will be a static line jump and so will the next four after that. Then, if you're ready, you can free fall. He led me into an air-conditioned room that already had nine other neophyte parachutists who sought refuge from their own protesting knees on wooden benches around the room. Several looked as though they had very large butter- flies in their stomachs. At least I was not alone and drew some strength from the numbers. For the next hour, Jon lectured on the teclmiques of exiting the plane, controlling the descent and landing so as to minimize the already slight shock. Next we went outside to a place Jon called the pit. It had a I0-foot high platform next to it. The idea of this was to teach us to land with our legs together, slightly flexed, lSee next page.l 176 F 23 C x K 51' .. --.. -Jr,-'Q . ,.. 'r5'f? W' ,ai L 3 v 3. 'x I' u ' .. 1, s?'

We practiced in the pit for two hours and then broke for lunch. During the meal break, .lon talked about skydiv- ing and the enjoyment he gets out of it. After lunch we practiced for another two hours in the pit with Jon constantly critiquing our practice landings and making suggestions. We didn't leave until everyone had it right. OK everybody, gather around here. You all look good. I think it's time to go do itf, With that we all headed for the equipment room to draw parachutes and flight gear--helmets, goggles, gloves and jump suits. We all marched out to the waiting airplanes and climbed in. Almost all the morning's apprehension was gone due to the hard drill and confident in- struction we had gotten from Jon. As we climbed to our 5000-foot jump altitude, I watched Jon's face for any kind of expression. He only looked out the open door of the plane searching for high winds over the drop zone. He had done all he could. We were on our own. I heard Jon yell Go and by sheer reflex from the day's drill, I stepped out. The plane and its noise dropped away and I counted to five waiting for the 'chute to open. With a smooth de- celeration, the nylon blossomed over my head and I floated, hardly feeling any sensation of the descent. All was quiet, I could hear only the wind around my helmet and the far away drone of the airplane as it headed back to the field. The ground was coming up faster and I had to think about making the target zone. Dumping some air from the right side of the 'chute I changed my drift away from some trees and into the clearing. The ground was coming up very fast now and I tried to remember everything Jon had said: Keep your feet together, knees bent, roll with the landing..Q,, Thump! I hit the ground and col- lapsed into the dirt, making a perfect landing. I stook up thoroughly enjoy- ing the thrill of my first jump until the wind caught my 'chute and drag- ged me through the dirt and grass bringing me back to the real world. I was finally halted by Jon who ex- pertly folded my canopy laughing un- controllably. Don't get carried away. It was a good jump but not that good. There'll be many more. Yes, I agree. There will be many more. ...the ground was coming up very fast now and I tried to remember everything Jon had said -4 I 'ge ' . 'ty 'M --r -f V . L. f :Lf . J .fe , ms X y, ,gs ,- X I I . I' i ' .- .

In case you've wondered why, the answer is probably equitation, If you don't know what that means, don't feel bad-you're not alone. Simplified, it means horseback riding, but although the classes have been offered at Kent for seven years, relatively few students know about it. The equitation listing in the catalog has caused much confusion. As Judy Devine, coordinator of the program, says, l've had students sign up for the course, come the frst day and then I watch their mouths drop when I an- nounce itis a horseback riding class? Three equitation courses--beginning, intermediate and ad- vanced-are offered fall, winter and spring quarters under the physical education department. The two-hour courses teach not only the rudiments of proper riding, but also a general knowledge of the horse: its history, anatomy, breed- ing and diseases, and how to groom, feed, and break horses. Prior to riding, the students are responsible for bridling and saddling the horses. -il' lSee next page.l Story by Leslie Burkhart Kathy VandeLogt, right, riding instructor at Sun Beau Valley, instills confidence in beginning riders. , . ,4,,,.V. 1 3 1 'EV fi ' 5 : pf W , 'fi' 'D iff.

The inexperienced Flashes struggled to a 5-I9 record and finished dead last in the Mid-American Conference. But the fiery Hughes gave Kent fans something to talk about. Clad in his flamboyant, modish clothes, the 6 foot 4 former Southern California assistant coach paced up and down the sideline like a caged tiger as his team found a number of bizarre ways to lose games. A familiar sight to Flash fans was that of Hughes cupping his hands to his mouth as he shouted words of encourage- Story by Jeff Bell ment and instruction to his sometimes hopeless ensemble of Flash cagers. The Kent cage coach found the going tough as he at- tempted to mold four veterans tBrad Robinson, Rich Gates, Tom Brabson and .lim Zoetl, three freshmen tTony Jamison, Odell Ball and Mike Millery and a transfer tRandy Felhaberl into a winning combination. MAC referees quickly learned how vociferous Hughes' language could get when a call went against the luckless KSU squad. Ask just about any conference referee about the extent of the wrath of an irked Hughes and you would probably receive a reply something like: Rex can get really mean. lSee next pageJ xx 'sm , . . x,,x...y-Q-Q-g.5,-N: ,.,x, MN, N-.IN N. , x . is Q pt - .

Field hockey captains couldn't remember who beat Slip- pery Rock the previous year. Nobody kept statistics for the basketball team. The press didn't report if the volleyball team even went to the State Tournament, let alone print a score. However, with the advent of Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972, insuring women separate but equal opportunities in sports, attitudes began to change. In many ways, Denise tChickil Chicko, a senior at KSU, represents the transitional woman college athlete. She has played field hockey and basketball, as well as swum for Kent State for the past three years. I asked Chicki to comment on what it means to compete in the forgotten sports at KSU. In many ways, her answers reflected the ethical code for the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women tAIAWi which contends the purpose of intercollegiate ath- letics is to provide an opportunity for the participant to develop her potential as a skilled performer in an educa- tional setting. Do you agree with the AIAW philosophy that it doesnt matter if you win or lose, its howyou play the game? I like to win, but I like skill better. li may sound corny, but sports isn't just to win, it really devel: ps you. I get off on the 'movement experience'--it feels good. At other times, her comments reflected gutsy competi- tion. Do you mean you can accept victory or defeat without a lnSSf' Story by Debby Malacky No, I get upset when I lose. Do you get violent when you compete? L'No, just aggressive--to me 'aggressive' is a good word. Do you cry from tension? No, I see a game as two teams competing and the better team at that particular moment is goint to win. I may feel a little bummed out if we lose-especially ifl didn't play my best. Sometimes she spoke like a pressured athlete. How keyed up do you get, for example, before a basket- ball game? I get really psyched--I don't eat anything for a day be- fore the game. I start to get vague, tense feelings about a week before the game. At mid-week, the feeling gets 'nit- ty-gritty'. It reaches a peak on the way to the game with the rest of the team. There's alot of cheering and talking on the bus. We have a couple of women with good mouths who lead cheers. The noise relieves tension. At that time, I'll either talk a whole lot orjust sit there and meditate about what I'm going to do to help the team. She talked about school spirit and team morale. How does Kent State compare with other area colleges in competitive spirit? We're looser in a lot of ways and that's good. I would have atrophisized in a highly competitve school because l'm not that good. The exciting part of sports is not watching the 'best,' it's watching two women being their best and seeing how it turns out. Often she answered like the new woman. Have you ever competed against a man? Yes, to sharpen my skills in basketball. I don't like it ' fy if x5 k ' 8 wi I A 25 f ' Q l uf., Hn 5 H1i, es. 4, ' g .A qi t u sw.-:A eg - 5 2 A x I , Q nv I -.- , ,, 'Pound for pound, you're os good os he is.'

You don't even care if you fall down and bruise yourself. Story by Inge Orendt I90 Most of the women on the team have black and blue marks during the whole season. But now we have knee pads. That helps somewhat. Joyce says. In the locker room. knee pads, sweat socks, gym shoes and other sports equipment are cluttered.

I don't consider myself masculine or feminine, she says, turning to me. I think both sexes have qualities that late considered male and female. I'm capable of defending myself, which is considered masculine, yet I like to cook and sew and I treat my Siamese cats like children. HI like to get dressed up, but I'm not upset if I don't get a chance to put on my make-up, she continues. I guess a lot depends on how one's been brought up. My parents always encouraged my sports and my boy- friends have always thought it was great, too. Talking to Joyce has changed my impressions of what a female jock really is.

A-154 v, rf' Vying for a fair share of the sporfsr F IT wasn't for government legislation restricting fi- nancial inequalities in a state institution, women's intercolle- giate athletics would probably still be operating on a small-scale club basis. Instead, thanks to Title IX, the government legislation offering guide- lines for equal opportunity with feder- ally funded institutions, along with the increased interest in women's sports, women's athletics at KSU are on the rise, both in power and pres- tige. The Department of Health Educa- tion and Welfare tHEWJ recommended the legislation in 1972 which guaranteed equal treatment to all constituants in any federally fund- ed institution regardless of race, sex or religion. The legislation helped by doubling the operating funds of intercollegiate athletics, bringing its budget to a S31 ,O00total for conducting I0 inter- collegiate sports on a somewhat larger scale than last year. With the increased budget, Janet Bachna, acting director of women's intercollegiate athletics at KSU, has been able to operate on a larger scale. I have been able to better insure our players against injury, bringing the Story by Kathy Siemon dollar . 1 nf- -1 ,,,,,. -.af -Y 1 insurance standard up to par with men, Bachna explained. She said she also has increased allo- cations to each individual sport by an average of S500 and has put funds aside for tournament participation. But, while the financial increase is on the upswing, Bachna said it will take still more money to bring the de- partment up to athletic standards. HWe would like to purchase more equipment for the department and have better facilities for training, she said. Intercollegiate athletics, operating under intramurals, presently share equipment with the Department of Womenis Health and Physical Educa- tion. y We would also like to begin an athletic scholarship program for lwomen who excel in athletic perfor- mance, Bachna said. Presently, women athletes are only offered academic scholarships and fi- nancial aid from the university which means they must comply with the aca- demic standards of the scholarship program to stay in school and advance their skill.

L'Women's athletics stress the edu- cational value of sports participation rather than the win-loss philosophy of men's athletics, she explained. In order to maintain this philoso- phy, a scholarship program can be implemented only with stringent guidelines, she said. i'We must try to avoid buying ath- letes with a scholarship program so we don't lose sight of our objectives, she said. It comes down to the school with the most money winning and that is not what athletics is all about, she added. Bachna said she would also like enough money to hire full-time coaches to keep continuity within the sport. There is a great turnover in the part-time coaching staff because we can only pay them about 31.000 per sport, she said. Bachna estimated an increase to 360,000 as an operable budget for an effective program. Women's intercolle- giate athletics are funded through the general fund. Financially, however, KSU is not unlike other State universities in the country. Athletic department budgets range from 85,000 to 590,000 per year. Thanks to Title IX and an increase in interest, both on the part of the women and the administrators, KSU's athletic department is beginning to grow, Bachna said. Yet, according to Vannoy, while Ohio is out in front in funding its wo- menis athletics programs, a great in- equality between men's and women's athletics still exist. 193 - '-yajh. ., .,-t K . .,1 . 1 .

We don't expect to operate with as great a magnitude as men's athletics do, Vannoy said. It would be unrealistic to think that women's athletics expect 31,000,000 to operatef, Bachna said. MWomen don't want the large-scale pressures of men's athletics, she ex- plained. I don't want to hire and fire a coach on her win and loss records like the men's athletics department does, she said. Rather, a good coach is judged, in my mind, on her ability in leadership and the guidance she can give to the girls to perform to their best abilities, she added. The importance of sports and the expansion of the women's athletics lie in the effects it has on the participants as well as on the university, according to Bachna. Sports gives a girl a chance to learn to cope with competition and that is what life is all about, she said. L'Progress of women's athletics came for the realization that women are human beings--what is good for one sex is good for the otherf, Vannoy said. Title IX gave women's intercolle- giate athletics at KSU an expanding program. An AIAW was formed nationwide in 1972 to unify the growing women's athletics and establish a set of guide- lines, Bachna said. Women's athletics has been behind for a long time and has just recently begun a rapid growth, Vannoy said. We still have a long way to go. .,.. . af.vw..1f:k---Q .. ' 4'X 'eYk .

Coming into the I974-75 season the women brought an overall record of 88 wins and five losses with them. The program has flourished under the coaching of Rudy and Janet Bachna. The men and women work togeth- er, Rudy said. They help each oth- er, spotting during practices and giving each other encouragement. This year the women's team has a strong nucleus of veterans returning. We're trying to blend our veteran strength with the new kids, he added. 5' We want to hit a team score of 100 this season, he said. ln gymnas- A ,,, tics, the top four out of five scores xx count in each event. .,. lf the gymnasts qualify at the state meet, they go to regional competition. From there qualifying gymnasts head for Hollywood, California, and the na- tional competition. Nlembers of the KSU women's team have gone to national competition for the last four years. making a total of five appearances there. Perhaps the most strenuous women's sport is field hockey. The game is similar to ice hockey. but is played on a regulation football field. The strategy is similar to soccer. Players use field hockey sticks to manipulate a small round ball down the field and into their goal, which is somewhat smaller than a soccer goal. The game is played in two half-time periods lasting 35 minutes each. There is one five-minute break between each half, but rules call for no time-outs or substi- tutions. The girls really have to be in shape, KSU coach Judy Devine said. lt's a . - S, Story by Teresa Hamilton 194 'U ru aa E ci of competition V . ! v I - . in ,Qs si- 'The men ond women work together.

We want individuals to gain confidence in themselves and we want them to enjoy competition. Our motto for the season is 'Try in '75'. The women's tank star is freshman Gail Thompson. She qualified for national competition last November in the 200 freestyle and may soon qualify in three other events. Seven members of the women's swim team traveled to Ontario, Canada, to compete in the University of Waterloo Invitational early in the season. Thompson took a third in the 300 freestyle. Other team members competed in consolation finals and came back with much improved times. HI hope the people who went will be the strength of the team in the future, KSU coach Pam Noakes said.

There is the real dust, because she is not home all the time to keep it under control. And there is dust in the mind--her mind and the minds of her husband, her children and her friends. With the help of Project Dove, a returning student can keep ahead of all the dusty problems created by her new life style. Kay Schotzinger. Jan Patton, and women of the com- munity started Project Dove in 1973 with the first Woman's Day on Campus to discuss what women are doing now and what they want to be doing. There was a large response and have since been four Women's Days on Campus and at least 30 women each quarter seeking some counselling from Project Dove. There is often a misunderstanding about Project Dove, says Schotzinger. The people at Dove do not make decisions for other women. The big decision to come back to school has already been made--Project Dove is there to help the decision work easier. The biggest problem women have when returning to school after a long absence is that they are timid and afraid to take chances, says Schotzinger. Story by Kathleen Belknap N. Kaye 'I Q ET 3 Q O -is -In E qi B' 'U 1 2. tb n 'D U O 1 tb One woman who has been back to school for two quar- ters said, I've learned to be vuhierable. It feels great! It's better to be vulnerable and fall on your face a few times than to be passive. I used to be a 'yes, but...' woman. When things like the Woman's Day came up, it would be the same story--yes, l'd like to go, but...my cleaning lady comes that day, or the kids have piano lessons. Schotzinger says the real ending to the sentence is, Yes, but I might fail. Often, people never get past the yes, buts... Other real problems faced by women returning to school have to do with their families. Besides fears about inadequa- cy, they have to contend with husbands and relatives who sometimes don't understand why they want to leave home and go to college. It is also difficult to schedule classes around meals, ironing, children, and other household duties that cannot just be dropped. Project Dove helps women to deal with personal frustra- tions, family hassles, and also helps to cut through some of thhe red tape during registration. The university is a big, scary place and the admissions procedure alone is enough to make anyone have second thoughts about coming to school, says Schotzinger.

They are usually in classes with 17-to Zl-year-olds and in many cases the women have children as old as their classmates. They are also con- cerned about being too old when they graduate. They wonder if anyone will hire them. However, Schotzinger is quick to point out that the mature women at KSU are among our best students. They have better GPA's than younger students and tend to be more motivat- ed to study and participate in class. The best way to understand the motivation and thought behind women who are braving it at KSU is to listen to their stories.

I think one could not rule out the possibility, but the likelihood of it happening is not very high. We have learned a great deal on how to deal with slowdowns, and we have a greater understanding now of economic recessions and what can be done to curb them. There is a greater willingness on the part of the people to put into effect programs that would help to curb re- cession. Dr. William J. Weiskopf, economics professor MARGARET BOURKE-WHITE: Kentucky, 1937 The business cycle is by no means obsolete. This is well evidenced by the series of recessions experienced by the U.S. since World War II. There is no reason to expect that these will not continue to occur in the future. How- ever, a severe depression, such as that experienced by the U.S. during the '30s is highly unlikely for several rea- sons. There have been widespread bank- ing and financial reforms since the '30s, new and improved economic the- ories have been developed, and the Employment Act of 1946 made it a prime responsibility of the govern- ment to foster maximum production, employment and purchasing power. Also, government spending relative to the Gross National Product IGNPJ is now much greater than in the '30s. Dr. Harold R. Williams, acting chairperson, Department of Economics 201 ls it possible for another economic crash similar to the Great Depression of the 1930's to recur? There is a substantial difference be- tween the situation in the 1930s and the situation now. Not only the United States but other economies have developed remedies against de- pression which work. I do not see any depression in the next years in either the United States or the industrialized countries of the world. A recession or mini-recession, yes, but depression, no. The outlook for 1975-76 presents a picture of the U.S. economy which could be characterized as stag- flation -where the economy develops at very slow rates of growth and under inflationary pressure. Dr. Vladimir Simunek, economics professor F 'W . 3 The next generation of 10 years or so will rate Richard Nixon among the lowest of presidents--along with Warren Harding. However, unlike Harding, the future will concen- trate less on his personal failures and more on his foreign policy. He showed more imagination and grasp of foreign affairs than any other president since Truman. If Kissinger is suc- cessful, Nixon's rating will go up. Their skill in the handling of Vietnam, the resumption with China and relations with the Soviet Union are major potential advantages that Nixon's reputation may be salvaged if the present foreign policy is successful.

In more traditional measures of evaluation, I think his- tory will be blandly neutral with regard to his domestic policies and favorable to his foreign policies.

Frank Ritzinger, joumalism instructor Collegiate frontiers in cancer research A fight for the interaction of atoms and molecules- and much more. 66 OR THE scientist, life is the interaction of atoms and molecules, Dr. Bruce Roe said matter-of- factly. Of course, he reflected, life is much more than that. For Roe, assistant professor of chemistry at KSU, being a scientist is not a life of snobbery. His office does not depict the leather-bound academic atmosphere of a professor's study. Instead, reams of loose papers piled on the desk indi- cate his role as a hungry cancer researcher, a man who can be meticulous in his work and jealous in his findings with- out sacrificing human warmth in personal relationships. His work concentrates on the study of transfer RNA, a molecule involved in the making, or synthesis, of protein. This protein synthesis occurs in an abnormal manner in can- cerous cells. Why he chose to enter this aspect of cancer research out of the myriad of other possible areas of concentration is simple: Because it's my bag, he says. His study, however, is not as simple as the flippant jargon suggests. His interest in biochemistry began at Hope College in Holland, Mich., where he earned his B.S. in chemistry in 1963. Interest heightened as he worked on his masters and doctorate at Western Michigan University. He has been working at Kent two years to discover if tRNA could possibly be the pivotal point in determining the cause of differences in normal and malignant cells. The re- search is being supported by a grant from National Institutes of Health. TRNA is a nucleic acid found in the cells which reads the genetic code of the cell and helps make cell protein. Cancer- ous and normal cells make different proteins, therefore dif- ferent tRNAs are present. Story by Debby Malacky The question Roe is trying to answer is, What are the chemical differences between tRNA in normal cells and can- cer cells? We are observing phenomena of normal and abnormal tRNA from the same types of sources. So far, all we've found out is, there are differences, Marie DiLauro, senior undergraduate student, remarked. DiLauro worked with Helen Rizi, also a senior honors college chemistry major, to compare tRNA differences in normal liver cells and rat liver tumor cells. Two other undergraduates, junior Ann Stankewicz and senior Kevin Roesch, are working to compare normal hu- man liver tRNA and placental tRNA. Placental tRNA is being studied because it bears similarity to malignant tRNA. I want my students to surpass me, to do even better things, Roe says. That is my goal as a teacher. Besides, I have to draw on others to answer all of the questions. Three graduate students and one post-graduate doctorate assistant complete the team which tries to answer the ques- tions. By this winter, they will have a fair amount of infor- mation on what the differences are. By summer, they may have some discoveries of what made the tRNAs different. The next question would be how the malignant cell can be stopped from making different tRNA. That might be a cure. CURE--CANCER. The words have become necessarily connected in the United States, mostly because of fear, partly because of publicity. Newspapers splash Betty Ford's photos on front pages. One week innuendos are made to cures and the next week the story is forgotten, the cure has been discarded. The week after that, the reader buries a person who has died of cancer.

But cancer research is not analogous to running a space program. ln a space program, you can apply technology that is known. You can set time limits. In science, that isn't the case at all. You never know when a breakthrough might occur. Newberry, assistant professor and director of under- graduate studies in Kent State's psychology department. is also a cancer researcher. KSU's department of psychology sponsors his psychosomatic studies of cancer. He has been involved in such work ever since he was a graduate student at the University of Wisconsin where he earned his doctorate in 1969. The theory that an individual's personality and psycho- logical make-up may make that person susceptible to certain illnesses has been around almost as long as the identification of cancer as a disease. But the spur for research in this area more recently came out of the discovery that cancer is not autonomous. That is, it is not a matter of cells growing wildly, randomly, without a cause. The discovery is attributed to Charles Huggins, l956 Nobel Prize winner who found hormonal changes may vary the growth of malignant tumors. In turn, hormones are affected by life's conditions, the surroundings. the environment. Newberry is researching the hypothesis that malignant growths may be affected by psychological stress. lt has been suggested that individuals who are under f f 4 7 ,i 1 Jones 1 1 I Photos by B. n :l i 3 -4 UI i e n. cb :l 1 U! 1 o UU e Q 1 Q I M 3 cb 5 to do even better things.

Besides, I have to draw on others to answer all of the questions' 'T 'I wouldn't even attempt to apply what we are experimenting with to human life because of complexities involved in human personaIities.' great psychological stress, who suppress and control emo- tions, are afflicted with cancer moreso than individuals who release feelings. However, psychological stress in humans can be defined in innumerable ways, Newberry said. 'It is impossible to experimentally control stress factors in human lives. Therefore, Newberry, along with numerous undergrad- uate and graduate students, employs rats to test relation- ships between stress and malignancy. You can manipulate the life history of a rat, Newberry said. Specifically, rats that have been injected with a cancer- producing chemical which causes breast cancer are subjected to controlled stress. Other rats are subjected to the controlled stress before being injected. By applying the stress factor at different times during the life cycle of the rats, Newberry is trying to collect data on whether stress affects malignancy formation or malignancy proliferation of mammary tumors. But we are dealing at a simple level, he emphasized. I wouldn't even attempt to apply what we are experimenting with to human life because of complexities involved in hu- man personalities. Our purpose is to understand the rat. ln fact, psychosomatic studies of the rats so far point to the direct opposite of what is believed to occur with hu- mans. Kathie Ashbaugh, undergraduate assistant, is conducting the first radio-immunological measurement to study the re- lationship between stress and the milk-producing hormone, prolactin. She found that prolactin output and mammary growth 1 Q 8 P' .-:ff A . l .1- iwvwvi - ' 'Genetically, a person may be closer to a stranger than to a family member.

But it's impossible to say how close we are to a cure, he concluded, because there is no one cure. There are sev- eral different kinds of cancer. Some, like Hodjkin's disease, Iare already curablef, There is one kind of cancer, leukemia, for which no cure has been found. Dr. Raymond Gesinski, associate professor of biological sciences at the Stark Branch Campus,became interested in studying leukemia at a visiting scientists conference in I 55:44. i r i La' A f fi, 46 Z' NASA in 1971. He has been interested in studying blood systems since earning his masters and doctorate degrees from Kent State in 1962 and 1968, respectively. After the conference, he obtained a strain of the tumor lymphosarcoma, which causes leukemia or cancer in the blood system, from a colleague. Under the auspices of the department of biology and a grant from the Tuscarawas University foundation, he began research at Kent in 1971. Since then he and his assistants have implanted sections of the original tumor in selected generations of mice more than 270 times.

The first generation resulted from breeding brown DBA lJ mice tall of which will accept the implanted tumorj and black 5 7 BL mice Q94-l00'Z1 of which will reject the tumorj. To study genetic influences, Gesinski is karyotyping- looking at chromosomes to support the theory of genetic control. '-..1 rf f-,,, x X , JF 1 . .- I ' if f tigq N , f a c ,V 'V ' ' - Y dip.

Besides studying physiological pro- pensity, undergraduate and graduate assistants perform connected research. Howard Lorsen, graduate student, follows lipid formation in mice that have been implanted to connect levels of fat in cells with tumor acceptance. Jill Sellers, also a graduate student, studies structural relationships of tu- mor cells to one another. It's like studying the architectural development of the tumor mass, Gesinski explained. However, the question of genetic propensity is the chief concern of this researcher--and possiby of the public. At other times, genetic complex- ities have frustrated and shocked the public. For example, Gesinski grinned, genetically, a person may be closer to a stranger than to afamilymember. That bothers some people, but in a way, it also makes us kind of like bro- thers and sisters? However, if indeed cancer is geneti- cally controlled, the study is note- worthy for the public. A mouse whose I 'Q ii V E body accepts the lymphosarcoma tu- i mor dies within 12 days. A human being dies within six months. The million Americans under medical care for treatment of cancer cling to findings of men like Roe, Newberry and Gesinski. Yet, none of the three professors predict cures. t I They are basic, realistic and honestl with themselves as researchers. Each is an intense scientist putting results on lab reports. Simultaneously, each is a dynamic human being, hoping that by being faithful in the little things, he can bridge the gap be- tween paper and public. l i 1 'i . 5 M What is Dr. Franklin doing in the dark? Shades of the human aura 66 9 M GETTIN' some good vibes, man, How many times have you heard it said, or talked about good or bad vibrations yourself? Weive all felt it before, that indescribable something that makes us immediately hostile or friendly upon meeting a stranger. What we might be perceiving is the unconscious interpretation of an aura. The atmosphere around the body may be excited by high speed electrons emitted by the body. This may cause auras to be visible, explains Dr. Wilbur Franklin, professor of theoretical physics at KSU. Some claim they can see auras with the naked eye. They say auras float around each of us, with the color scheme changing as moods alter. Franklin, however, uses a tech- nique called Kirlian photography to capture on film a halo of light surrounding the fingertips. This photographic halo is interpreted as the aura. Franklin began this experimentation in 1972 when Dr. Edgar Mitchell financed his trip to Stanford University to conduct experiments on noted psychic Uri Geller. I think Story by A.M. Murray we could have set up the experiments and run them better at Kent, said Franklin, but then Stanford has a bigger name...and, of course, thereis the money. The experiments at Stanford convinced Franklin of the legitimate value of studying psychic related phenomena, al- though he will not come right out and say he is convinced of the reality of psychic powers. A view of Franklin's of- fice gives good insight into his interests: the expected assort- ment of physics manuals, magazines and technical journals, books on hypnotism, the autobiography of a yogi, a few ESP texts, a couple on the occult, and even The Exorcist. When talking to his colleagues, he drops phrases from the world of higher mathematics as casually as a conversation about the weather. Distribution functions...velocity of molecules in the random distribution...the decay back to equilibrium...the Vlasov equation...the Falker plank equa- tion. But then he might smile and say, I'm not even sure I know what the numbers mean here yet. Meet Dr. Franklin and he gives off good vibes. His gradu- ate assistant complains of a bad stomach and he suggests a little meditation. He conducts classes in ESP but he cautions lSee next page.l 3 4 's L 5 3 Y g x 0 i - ish-KHIQ ,-ww.

Franklin is the center of an open forum at Kent on the psychic. Students and others gravitate in his direction for an exchange of ideas and information. His most concrete re- sults so far, however, have been with Kirlian photography. Franklin, with the help of an assistant, Linda DeFeo, has been photographing fingertips at KSU and compiling data files. Linda has spent many afternoons at Kent's Health Center taking Kirlian pictures of people who come in for treatment. Kirlian photography ties into acupuncturef, said Franklin. There are 12 meridiars in acupuncture which run throughout the body. These meridiam are nerve lines which acupuncturists use in their treatments. Ten of them meet at the fingertips and toesf, This meam a Kirlian photograph of the fingertips can help diagnose the person's health, since the color and distri- bution of the aura shown indicate which organ is malfunc- tioning. This method is ah'eady being used by some doctors in the country as a diagnostic tool, but further experimentation and a larger case of repeatable results will strengthen its validity. Most of the experiments have been done by Franklin on his own time and at his own expense. As his success grows, there is every hope he will be able to further research not just Kirlian photography but the whole area of para- psychology.

SheIIy's Book Bar Breeding thought in the poetic arena UESDAY NIGHTS find them amidst the aisles, curled around the front of the store. Up front a lone desk-the modest pulpit from which all manner of poetry will be read, dissected, praised, criticized, sometimes even applauded. Out a front window, a traffic light flashes a red caution through the night air. A train occa- sionally passes nearby, its clamor interrupting the quiet. At this time, few cars pass the dingy dimly-lit book shop on Franklin Ave. where, since October 1973, a group of poets and assorted interesteds have been meeting weekly in an atmosphere both argu- mentative and appreciative. Anywhere between 10 and 30 of them assemble at this store of intoxi- cating bargains: Shelly's Book Bar. Situated discreetly at the intersection of Franklin and Summit, Shelly's is the kind of slice of life depicted in Norman Rockwell paintings. The faded green walls and the aisles are lined mostly with used paperbacks, and there is that inevitable scent of mustiness found in all bookstores worth their salt. The participants in this poetic en- deavor are too spontaneous in nature to tolerate much in the way of struc- ture. Indeed, there are no leaders as such, there are no requirements, there are no institutional ties anywhere. There is only the poetry tsome of which was published in the first Shelly 's magazine in October--more monthly collections hopefully were to follow- and some presented at a read- ing in The Kove in Octobery. Story by Ron Kovach As described in the first issue of Shelly 's, Kent area poets gather at Shelly's to proclaim, contest, and disseminatef' The meetings are open: the young, the unknown, journey- men, and sympathizers of whatever stripe from out of the greatswarm, are cordially challenged to come by. The procedure is uncompli- cated-anyone who wishes to read some of his poetry may do so, copies of the poems to be read are often available to be handed out, after read- ing, the author awaits comment and criticism directed towards his work. The meetings usually last about two 214 hours, afterwards, many of those pre- sent repair to De Leone's, a neighbor- hood bar just down the street. There, amidst the beers, the tortured coun- try-western songs on the jukebox and the miniature bowling games, much of the business of Shelly's continues un- til the late hours of the evening. An observer new to the Shelly meetings senses at once that its partic- ipants are not half-baked pre- tenders-that there is an underlying seriousness present. Not that the mood isn't relaxed fthe beer, which circulates intermittently around the room, helpsy or there isn't humor pre- sent larguments over semantics are apt to be entertaining as are, for example, some of R.C. Wilson's har- monica-accompanied comic versej. But there is a kind of energy in the room. Its existence lies in the fact that most of the people at Shelly's are se- rious about poetry, about their work and about the work that the others are doing. Contributing to this energy, there is the sharp concentration need- ed in trying to grasp a poem on its first reading, there is the sense of an- ticipation at the reaction to the poem, there is the earnestness of people try- ing to define their initial reactions and state them with an underlying tone of helpfulness and encourage- ment, there is finally the intensely personal aspect of writing a poem--because the process is so per- sonal, it is sometimes a gritty task to tell the author where one thinks he went wrong or right, what worked and what didn't. A sample of the reaction to a poem: COMMENT: You're going to have l Readings at Shelly s, left and above The poet, Jack Ramey, is placed in the environment ofhis poem, right. to show me where there s something to go on here Theres nothing spe cific you have to say its amor phous There s only one definite word wall It can mean anythmg AUTHOR I think we re argmng about semantics RESPONSE Poets do get hung up on words it s an occupational hazard AUTHOR I thmk there s a multi phclty of experiences the poem can arouse RESPONSE I don t thmk they matter COMMENT To mirror my own idea of poetry I don t thmk you give enough m these poems to guide the reader...Thats why we cant decide about it. Comment on some playful poetry: Ijust find a lot of stuffl can turn away from easily...What you re doing is okay but there s not enough tex- ture. If you don t create a little disci- pline your playfulness will hide what you re trying to say. If you want me to get off on it you re going to have to give me some doorways some ten- sion. There's no risk in your poetry. We had a guy here last year--he was a clev- er guy. He had a kind of playfulness, too, in his poetry. But he was taking responsibility for his cleverness. May- be you do, too, but it doesn't come across. By taking risks, I mean you're going to do more with language than play with it. I think your strength is your play- lSee next page.l 3.4 There are no leaders as such, there are no requirements, there are no institutional ties anywhere.

Although there are no official lead- ers at the meetings. the participants seem to defer somewhat to one indi- vidual, Ralph La Charity, when he's present. Although, as one person said, this could be due to the fact that La Charity has the loudest mouth, there is more to it than that. If he can, in fact, be considered something of an unofficial leader , it is also for two other reasons: strength of personality and a profound commitment to po- etry. Thirty years old, black-framed glasses, strong forehead, hair combed back, there is an intensity in him that is hardly ever difficult to find. To many participants, Shelly's of- fers a kind of comradeship with others of a similar artistic bent, having many of the same problems peculiar to art- ists. Says Judy Platz, I would say the specialness of Shelly's is people help- ing one another with each other's art. There are so many in one spot genu- inely concerned. This is one place where the helping and caring for art is really going on. Shelly's works be- cause the people there really love art, so they'll help. To Platz, what sets poets--and all artists-apart is their more precise vi- sion of the world around them. The artist, she says, cuts through the grease and the garbage of human exis- tence...He gets to the point where he can say--'uh huh: this is existenceg this is what makes the world go aroundg here are the motivations that make people act the way they do.

M. Bulvony ...cmd from the sure death of THE HUMAN ISSUE L - The Cicada is born HE Human Issue, is dead. We've gone from a stuffy office in Sattertield Hall, to an office in the trunk of a car to the apartments of staff members. Once the Kent Quarterly, then Human Issue, then Train City Flyer, the literary magazine at Kent, now the New Kent Quaffefly --first issue subtitled Cicada, has emerged from a freshman-type poetry magazine, to become a total review of the arts. This fall the English department told the New Kent Quarterly staff its office space was needed. So the literary magazine moved off campus. There is still some affiliation through the Experimental College, which gives credit for participation on the magazine. New Kent Quarterly staffers say the magazine fulfills a need of students and townspeople who write to produce other art by providing a showcase for their work. We like not being connected with the universityf, says Jeff Jones, editor of the Cicada issue. Kent has always had a literary magazine and it has always been controversial. Members on the new staff say the magazine should apply to all arts, not just poetry. Indeed, the Cicada has branched out to include interviews with writers, poets, dancers and sculptors, photography, drawing, and even gourmet recipes. The staff is no longer dominated by English majors, there are persons in journalism, art, psychology and business. Sub- missions for the magazine come from all over the campus, community, and even a few from out of state.

TONI BECKETT 'f The Birds How the actress felt Diana McNees VERY TIME I saw a play. I constantly wondered what it would be like on the stage where everyone would be looking at what I thought would surely be me. Most people at one point in their lives have been in some sort of play and I guess it was the most exciting thing in their lives-or they hated it to the utmost. I couldn't remember ever being in a play and I was determined to be in one before graduating in June. I was sure the whole thing would be a total disaster. Never being able to get past tryouts without passing out from sheer fright, I found out that a friend, Tom Shaker, was going to direct a comedy in Rockwell Theater. Having his moral support and realizing that this was my last chance, I went for the first tryout. Making sure I wore dark pants that would not reveal the pee running down my leg, I got through the worst part and was now the second messenger in Aristophanes' The Birds. The first rehearsals would start when spring quarter did and I had the whole two weeks to learnt my lines. All I had to say was Alas, alas, alas, alas, alas, The thing is that Zeus has already learned what we planned to do, But I got here first, But they're my lines, Thank you, and Have you got a dime? I couldn't memorize them and all too soon realized I was going to flop miserably. The first couple of weeks were devoted to the main char- acters and I felt left out. Tom, you've got to give me more attention and help me practice. Ijust can't do it alone. And so forth. Tom had a million things on his mind besides one very chicken shit second messenger and kept telling me that the stage fright was part of my act and I needed it to make the part believable. Believable, hell. It was all too real for me. lSee next page.l The making of ci play How the director felt Tom Shaker INDSIGHT HAS become a very invigorating aspect of my life these days. With undergraduate school behind me, memories are all I have to combat the static regimentation of my present existence. There were a lot of highs in those recent yesterdays, but I can safely say that the biggest challenge, the most painful headache and the sweetest accomplishment befell me on May 9, 1974, with the opening night of The Birds in E. Turner Stump Theater. The hassles involved in this show were many. There was a small turnout at the auditions. There were unavoidable problems that called for re-casting. There was a necessary departmental shakeup that moved the show from Rockwell to Stump, causing the loss of a second weekend of perfor- mances. There was even a problem in adapting the show to the elaborate staging in a limited amount of time. But, despite these major problems, combined with pes- simistic undertones by unassociated armchair directors, it came off-and it came off as the finest show of the season in the eyes of many. My cast was predominantly freshmen, transfer students and upperclassmen with very limited experience. My stage crew had people who never worked technical theater before. I, myself, was functioning in a rookie role. It finally culminated with opening night. I remember go- ing into the Green Room to give that last pep talk tif there was one major flaw that stood out from all the others in my repertoire of directing it was my vivid verbal verbosityj and not knowing what to say. I quickly told them to think, have fun and keep it mov- ing. I didn't have to mention energy. I could feel it as I shook each hand. lSee next page.l 222 4 i 1 f Q l Q. ' l 3 1.12 ' 4 V' '?'

Just take me quick, Gocl.' --Diana lMcNees continued from page 222.l My lilies were finally down pat and the first thing I did when I woke up in the morning was to repeat them at least three times to reassure myself that Iknew them. I got my blocking down but it involved the whole bird chorus which never seemed to be there when I was. Miracles happened and final dress rehearsal came upon me. My cue to enter was the KSU fight song and when I heard it, every sense--nervous system, stomach and bowels--wanted to quit. If this is just dress rehearsal, what the hell will opening night be like? Just take me quick, Godf' and out I ran onto the stage. So there I was, all eyes on me, saying, Alas, alas, alas, alas, alas at the top of my voice and tugging at my shorts. The lines were said and someone through divine grace laughed. I exited with Have you got a dime? and discov- ered myself going back into the Green Room saying, Somebody laughed, somebody actually laughed. Was I really funny? Somebody laughed. I gained confidence until I walked into the make-up room the next evening for OPENING NIGHT. The stomach and bowels began to quit on me again and nothing could salvage my confidence back. Besides, all my friends would be out in the audience tonight lSee next page.l After the final dress rehearsal, opposite above, Tom Shaker talks to the entire cast about curtain calls.

Tom coaches Bob Sherman, right, about how to work the bird puppets. iShaker continued from page 222.1 With curtain time nearing, I rushed to the back of Stump to sit and watch. The sound tape faded with the lights and the show began. It was pure agony. I couldn't stop it, I couldn't fix it. I could only watch. It wasn't my show anymore-it was theirs. The key detern1iner was laughter and I waited for a brief eternity to see if it would come. It came-first in chuckles, then true laughter. Soon they were roaring. Internal ap- plauses began to happen. And still it came. The cast didn't flinch from the distrac- tion. Instead, they waited for the peak of noisy approval and when that crest was subsiding, they jumped right in again. After 15 minutes I was squirming in my seat with the egotistical awareness that it was a hit. A hit, hell. It was a smash. At intermission I flew into the Green Room, hugging everybody in sight. The cast knew they were on top of it and so did the crew. So there was nothing more to do except bask in it briefly and prepare for the second act. Act II was even better. The crowd was already set up so the vibes between stage and house were constantly present. tSee next page.l ,J F .,,...r- .. .i I use A I W .. 'Q gf Z 4 K . x atb!

To top it all off, everyone seemed so cool about it and I have yet to understand how they did it. As I waited sweating in the Green Room, someone told me there were some people waiting for me out in the hall. My friends came bearing roses for my big premier and I felt even worse for I knew I would shit right on the stage. I didn't shit on the stage. In fact, I felt very good in the part and actually got some laughs? The only casualty was my left contact lens had been knocked out and was lodged somewhere in my eye. As I dug for the lens in the make-up room, I kept repeat- ing how great the whole thing was and that I was funny. The next two nights got even better and I became a full-fledged HAM. I probably held up the play with my dawdling on stage. I didn't want to leave. Have you got a dime? Applause. Applause. The set was struck that night and I couldn't bear it. lim not used to seeing something I've worked on torn down and it seemed so very cruel. How theater people do it is beyond me.

It wosn't my show anymore-- it was theirs.' --Tom It was like that for the next two nights, too, but Saturday was a special night. Knowing that it was the last shot, every- one reached back for that little something. We were denied a second week, a decision that was made long before this night. And the cast realized that the hit of the Stump season was doomed to memory after this last bow. A few of the cast cried as they helped tear the set down to make way for the next show. The rest of us just pitched in with fake enthusiasm. In the following weeks, I got the post mortem reports. Some of the pseudo-intellectual graduate students of the theater department instructed their classes that the effort was a rape of the classics and a blow to audience mentality. Others took the time to offer congratulations to my cast members. All in all, the reports were good. The only real negative attitudes came from those few in the theater department. I look at some as constructive criticism, but treated most with the only analysis one could give to people who were left out of a successful show. The people liked it and that was all that mattered.

N MAY 4, 1970, a confrontation here between antiwar demonstrators and members of the Ohio National Guard left four students dead and nine others wounded. It was the first time in the nation's history that a volley had been aimed at a civilian crowd on a college campus. Four and a half years later. a federal judge in Cleveland closed the books in a trial to determine the guilt or inno- cence of eight former and present members of the Guard charged with violating civil rights of students in the shoot- ings. In granting the defense motion for acquittal on Nov. 8. 1974, U.S. District Judge Frank J. Battisti ruled that evi- dence presented by the government prosecution was not sufficient to support charges levied against the defendants by a federal grandjury March 29, 1974. lt's been a long road to the courtroom. lSee next page.l Story by Nlarilynn Nlarchione Z N 14 -as .-.

S. lContinued from page 235.l Clamor for a federal grand jury in- vestigation into the matter did not subside after an investigation was con- ducted by the FBI and another by a special panel. the Scranton Commis- sion. Petitions for the federal probe were circulated by Greg Rambo. a recent KSU graduate. and 50.000 signatures were collected. Author Peter Davies. in his book The Truth About Kent State. called for the grand jury as well. Rambo, Davies and others got what they wanted. The Justice Department ordered the impaneling of a federal grand jury after a review in I973. reversing the l97l decision against such a move by then Attorney General John Mitchell. Heading the investigation was Robert Murphey, chief of the Justice Department's civil rights criminal divi- sion. lts charge was to determine whether there were violations of fed- eral law in the May 4 episode and whether indictments should be re- turned. Termed Nvindicators of the law by Battisti. the 23 jury members were sworn in Dec. 18, I973. ln the process of deliberation, the jury heard testimony from more than ISO persons including former KSU President Robert l. White, former Na- tional Guard Officer Michael Delaney, then Governor James Rhodes, photo- graphers. journalists and members of the Guard. James Pierce, one of the guardsmen who said he fired his weapon, refused to testify. citing the Fifth Amend- ment right against self-incrimination. A highpoint of the investigation came when Delaney said he told the jury the killings were the result of pre- arranged plans to fire among the guardsmen or the result of an incident that triggered the gunfire. This was in contradiction to the opinion that the Guard had acted in self-defense. ln returning indictments against eight former and present members of the Guard, the grand jury charged that they were in violation of Title I8 of the R.S. Code, which states that no person shall be deprived of liberty without due process of law. Accused were James D. McGee, 27, Rootstown Twp.: William E. Perkins, 28, Canton: James E. Pierce, 29, Amelia lsland, Fla.: Lawrence A. Shafer, 28, Ravennag Ralph W. Zoller, 27, Mantua: Barry W. Morris, 29, Kentg Leon H. Smith, 27, Beach City, and Matthew J.

Opening statements in the trial be- gan at the end of October when 12 jurors had been selected from roughly 60 persons who were considered. A deposition from Delaney was read to the jury which stated in part that then Governor Rhodes told Guard officers May 3, l970, to use whatever amount of force was neces- sary to break up student gatherings at KSU. The prosecution called the shoot- ings indiscriminate and unjus- tified, The defense countered with arguments that the National Guard faced a riotous mob throwing stones. The regrettable incident occurred not because of the actions of these eight men but because of the actions of other people, the defense con- tinued. John Filo, a former student and photographer at the time, and Douglas Moore, a photographer for KSU News Service, both testified they saw no surge of student demonstrators to- R adgowski -S wards the Guard just prior to the shootings. Miscellaneous students, photo- graphers and other newsmen testified in a like manner. Some excitement was sparked when Thomas J. Murphy, an FBI agent, tes- tified that one of the defendants, Barry Morris, told him he saw a lieu- tenant fire a shot and then others fol- lowed. Murphy told the jury that during the FBI investigation of the incident, Morris said he fired his 45-caliber pis- tol twice toward the crowd at approx- imately knee level but didn't know if he hit anyone. Testimony continued in this man- ner with the defendants making state- ments and witnesses called to substan- tiate or discredit the claims made. Another of the defendants, James Pierce, stated he feared he would not get out alive, adding that he saw a man with a rock in his hand within I0 feet of him, fired at the man and the man fell. This was part of a statement made to the FBI May 7, 1970, which was read to the jurors. Lawrence Shafer, another guards- man standing trial. said he fired at a man who fell, grabbed his stomach and rolled over. Shafer said he be- lieved the man was planning to injure someone on the hill. Both Shafer and Pierce told of be- ing struck by bricks, Shafer on the left forearm and Pierce on one leg, as they left the football practice field. Pierce said he was knocked down by the im- pact. Crucial testimony came from an Ohio Highway Patrolman, Sgt. Douglas C. Wells, who told the jury that McManus ordered troops to fire one shot into the air after he heard others shooting. After weighing this and other testi- mony, Battisti ruled that this consti- tuted insufficient evidence to warrant conviction on grand jury indictments. The opinion does not hold that any of the defendants, or other guardsmen, were justified in dis- charging their weapons. The conduct of both the guardsmen who tired and of the guard and of state officials who placed their guardsmen in the situa- tion noted...is neither approved nor vindicated by this opinion, Battisti said. The reaction of various people ranged from utter shock and dismay to happiness. I'm extremely pleased with the verdict, said Rhodes. It is a great relief to the guardsmen and their fami- lies. I have had faith in our system of justice all along and once againjustice has prevailed. Author Davies expressed extreme disappointment in the acquittal ver- dict, adding that this pushed all chance of a court settlement to the various civil suits now pending. Rambo said that in his opinion, For four years, we've been trying to get to the truth. Now we're back where we started. uifvl- 237 U .Q QC 9. 'For four years, we've been trying lo get at the truth.

The 1975 As students have changed through the years, so have their yearbooks. Students seem to have become more concerned with themselves--not in a negative sense, but in a positive, self-fortifying way. Yearbooks have come away from loose, graphic montages to a new journalistic maturity of their own. lVlany creative minds set to work for many long hours to record the year of many other creative, hardworking Kent people. This book is a diligent attempt to show just who the student of today is. To give a realistic picture of the KSU student, it is necessary to give a full account of the environ- ment at Kent including all types of students, workers, ad- ministrators, faculty and even townspeople. In short, any- thing that makes the KSU experience unique. At the same time, it was important to keep this yearbook as readable and entertaining as possible, while remaining informative. Writers and photographers were encouraged to report as objectively as they could, yet also to interpret what they saw, to give each story a certain uniqueness. This has been an ambitious project. ln this section of the book we present many of the staff members that put it together--from several thousand feet of film, thousands of typed words, headlines, and layouts to the finished pages of the 1975 Chestnut Burr.
