Like blood cells surging through veins, students, faculty and staff stream through the arterial corridors of KSU every year. Without them there would be only dead stone, steel and glass. With them KSU becomes a growing, breathing, alive and kicking university. Students pour into rooms off- campus and on, bringing clothes, stereos and little pieces of home. Iungles of wandering jews, spiders and pepperomia plants till the rooms while posters clutter the walls. Each room expresses identity as the student inhabitant continues to seek it. Faculty members return to guide the students' search. Books full of all possible knowledge are dusted off. More than books, faculty members bring new experiences and ideas for the fresh crop of faces in lecture hall. First, eyes alight with enthusiasm, they exchange thoughts with colleagues over gulps of coffee. Staff members don't enjoy such ceremonious returns. They come in clean, pressed uniforms to attend to the business of keeping the university running. They are not the educators or the learners, and their importance goes largely unnoticed. After a Drop!Add session in Wills Gym students feel unimportant too. Numbers - id numbers, credit hours, maximum class size, course numbers, section numbers - take precedence. Students drop trance-like before a wall of section numbers, their eyes searching for the exact one. After five minutes of myopic staring they head for the departmental line and pray. Finally, they try to cajole and curse the professor behind the table to squeeze just one more on the roster. Many attempts are unsuccessful. Profs come pre-recorded, That section is filled try coming back next Saturday for final registration I'm sorry. The students are sorrier. Somehow, things work out. Schedules are filledg registration fees are paid. Students head home , then meet friends over pizzas and beers and catch up on a summer-full of adventures. Professors head back to offices with class rosters and newly t ll ' Af -- 2 dittoed syllabi under their arms, then head home to dinners while the staff keeps the university running. Newness of routine is evident in red eyes and tired faces, but there is no time to be lazy. Right away, there are texts to buy and study. The bookstores are packed tightly, full of students with hungry minds. For hungry mouths there are refrigerators to rent, drag back to the dorm, and fill with munchies. Professors have lectures to plan and office hours to decide upon. For staff workers there are roads to repair, bushes to trim and rooms to clean. School hasn't officially started and already everyone is busy. Morning comes - the first day of class. Students, faculty and staff rise .

Lecture A Bowman fills up quickly with freshman faces for history and psychology classes. They scribble notes incessantly, hoping to understand them later. Other students stride confidently into the Business Administration Building with briefcases, slide rules and pocket calculators in hand. Confidence quickly evaporates as scribbled computations cover blackboards. In Satterfield frustrations arise from learning French accents after three years of Spanish. Even one's native language requires work in English ifi.. . -,-:tr ,' - , ',j -' ' classes. Biology, physics, and chemistry classes are time consuming and difficult. After an hour squinting down the throats of microscopes, jotting notes and diagrams, the brain is ready for a rest. Physical education classes offer a chance to work the muscles as well as the mind. Classes range from dance, to paddleball, to gymnastics. Many require constant practice to condition the body. Gym lights burn late into the night. Other buildings do not sleep, Fourth floor Taylor Hall is always bright, full of architects striving to finish one more project. Downstairs, journalism students battle deadlines. l need PX. Q-'-I copy, I need art! screams a Stater editor. Next door, editors, writers and photographers work under harsh flourescent lights and the constant night of darkrooms to fit together a year's experiences for the Chestnut Burr. Across the dark Commons yellow angles slice the sky. Inside, budding artists work at their masterpieces. Clay-covered hands slap and pinch at sculptures or pull stoneware from the potter's wheel. Art projects grow from days and nights hunched over easels and layout tables. Music majors spend days and nights practicing instruments and voice charts. Theater majors pace the hallways of Music and Speech with hair slicked back and faces lost under greasepaint. On another floor, telecommunications students labor to broadcast news and music over the air. When the clock radio blares on weekday mornings the university bustles to life. The quarter is short and the year passes by fast. There is seldom the right kind of food, never enough time for sleep, and always too much studying to be done. But interspersed with chaotic times are times of solitary peace. Moments of frustration are laced with those of fun and laughter. And there are as many times to stomp through snow or lie in the sun as there are to run from the monsoon rains.

Kent, Ohio trees, the Holiday lnn, countryside, picturesque farmlands, highway - city - you're there. Largely populated and spotted with business for a town with seemingly little indsutry.

With its quaint tree lined old sections and increasingly swelling sub-suburban sprawl, Kent resembles any one of a number of small northeastern, southwestern Ohio, mid- western United States towns. Kent's major difference is that nearly two-thirds of its approximately 32,000 residents either live at or commute daily to the main source of livelihood, the 1200 acre Kent State University campus.

Twenty thousand students struggle to leave warm beds and make their way to campus. A morning shower, coffee and donuts, and a long walk interrupt their journey. As Ken Iones sleeps, the day unfolds around him. He will soon awaken to become a part of it. At 8:50 a.m. he will join classmates in Bowman Hall to ponder the views of Descartes. Thirty photographers set out early on this day to capture part of its soul and preserve it through thousands of shots of which the following ten pages are a small sample. The photographs contain pieces of what attending KSU is all about - the way the photographer saw the campus and life on it that day. May 27th does have its place in history. Captain Lester Grau, as he walked into the ROTC Office said, Today is an important day, gang. today is the 201st anniversary of the Battle of Noodle and Hog Is1and. ,A 'Gi .

Then the official announcement came. Yes, KSU was going to have a free concert on the commons. Liv- ingston Taylor, Earl Slick, the Michael Stanley Band, the Outlaws and the I. Ceils Band would play. All Campus Programming Board and Kent Interhall Council cospon- sored the concert on Saturday, May 15 as a part of Campus Weekend '76. ACPB spent 532,000 and KIC contrib- uted S5,000, Stacey Harper, concert chairperson said. ACPB spent money made as proiits on previous events. On Friday eighteen wheelers pulled into town, one by one, carrying the monstrous stage, lights and sound equipment. ' Crews went to work. The day came. A cloudy, lukewarm, drizzly day, hardly ideal, but the crowd which would eventually num- ber some 10,000 people didn't seem to mind. They straggled down to the Com- mons slowly in groups. Picking spots for blankets, arranging themselves for maximum listening pleasure, and scanning the gathering crowd for friends, they came together. 32 -?' Nxt Z Most of the people on the commons May 15 were dancing, drinking and listening. but a few people had to work. Some set up the stage, and some provided the music. The music began at 2:30 p.m. Livingston Taylor Itopj opened the show and started the festivities. Photography.

Livingston Taylor began the per- formance at 2:30 p.m. Some of the crowd expected the I. Geils Band to perform first. They heckled the musi- clans, who continued their show un- daunted. Earl Slick followed Liv- ingston Taylor with an original guitar production. As the day wore on the crowd swelled and contracted. People wan- dered back and forth between friends. They left to buy lunch and dinner. returned and ate. They were anxious to hear some familiar tunes, when the Michael -ev -:QNX 1 i ' N 'i' x no 'Y I 6 Stanley band took over. A favorite with the crowd, the Cleveland based band entertained them with popular songs from their newest album. Rock 'n roll, Southern boogie, frisbees and the sweet, pungent smell of everyone's favorite weed filled the air making the intermittent drizzle vir- tually unnoticeable. Although many merely ignored the rain, some brought umbrellas and some invented their own protection from plastic garbage bags. A few lis- teners sought shelter under tarps, tents and blankets. They came to their feet waving beer cans and Confederate flags when the Outlaws began to play. They danced, drank and lined up at the johns. Some ended up flat on their faces, too drunk to be aware of the surrounding activi- ty. Here and there couples engaged in a lover's duet, some shielded by blan- kets, some not. With night came the I. Ceils Band and two more hours of hardcore rock 'n roll led by the frenetic Peter Wolf. People clapped hands, swayed to the beat, and took in the sounds. When it was over the crowd stag- gered home. No one had been ar- rested. Six people had been treated at the KSU Health Center for minor in- juries. Tired and happy, they left be- hind empty bottles, beer cans and trash, but they took with them many memories. While Michael Gee. leader of the Michael Stanley Band, Daniel Pecchio, the bass player toppositel and later, tht- I. Ceils Band thottomj performed on stage, the audience vnloyed themselves in a variety of ways. l'hr1tographx Upptrsitv page l,xn1it' Sltulkx toil Holtf-rt X W.ivh-slut-rg:-r, riiitltilw lwoii l.Xill1.ims. lmttoiii Iliis paul- lwrrx hriirinlv lupl5.irre1llVXliiIv lmlntlii 35 FY '3r'Fl.5i' Jxzff iter- , is Greek Week is a national event that evolved from the tradition of the an- cient Greek Olympic Games. At KSU, the tradition, which started in 1947, has become a Greek Weekend, held every spring. Seventeen Hellenic And Interfraternity Councils on campus sponsor the activities. Co-chairpersons were Mary Craig and Edward Louisa. We've got the spirit was this year's theme. From April 29 to May 2 Greeks wore pins, shirts with Greek letters, and stickers. On Thursday night, as an opener, they sponsored The Way We Were , in Bowman Lecture B at 7:30 p.m. 'affix The games started Friday at 3 p.m. on Allerton field after a campus-circl- ing parade that featured a car from each of the chapters on campus. Fra- ternities and sororities competed in tug-of-wars, a steeplechase, four-leg- ged races, egg tosses, rope-pulls, tire relays, and trike races. Friday night a dance was held and a Greek Goddess was crowned, a frater- nity member dressed as a beauty queen by sorority members. Saturday's big event was the bath- tub pull, which benefitted the Ameri- can Cancer Society. lt started at 8:30 a.m. at the Rockwell Hall information , , , wx booth, and traveled to University Plaza, Tallmadge Circle, Chapel Hill Mall and the Stow-Kent Plaza. The week ended at 4:00 p.m. Sunday with a recognition banquet. Awards were given to the Creek Woman of the Year, Ioy Dingee of Delta Gamma, and the Creek Man of the Year, Scott Cunningham of Sigma Alpha Epsilon. The activities of the weekend pro- mote the feeling of solidarity between various chapters on campus. Climaxing Creek Week, a tug-of-war. an egg toss, and a tire roll determine which Creeks are the best. 1- 1 544 xx X-Z Backed by the cheers of their sistf-rs. tht- women of Alpha Gamma Delta give their all to bring honor to theu' sorority and .iioid an embarrassing tumble during tiig-oteuar toppositel Dellghting in a moment of xittory. mtl sorority sisters sharf' smiles and .4 hue 1l'l'llCldl6l while a Delta Gamma sister ponders what can be done with the last six eggs tleftl Enyoying the scenery along the campus parade route, these two tlown-tzlad sorority s1sters,ready for rain, hitch a ride ttop rightj Two fraternity brothers share a different kind of ride - a race inside a tire thottom rightj.

Americans were caught up in the way it was 200 years ago today, but few seemed to care about the way it was six year ago. The war was escalating in Vietnam. Here at home rebellion, confusion, and hatred gave way to fear, bitterness and death. On the island of Kent State University some that remembered said it was better to forget May 4th and the events surrounding it. They insisted they had heard it all before, and didn't want to think about it anymore. Still others fought to continue the ceremonies. They argued and sent editorials to the Kent Stater. Speeches were written for a program on the Commons. A Unity March was organized in support of the recent civil suit appeal, and individuals were urged to skip classes on Tuesday, May sith. Un the ew-ning of May 3 with only ten minutes left before the candlelight procession began, there were fewer lift hffg, fin- '. first, .eff V ,. .. .. . .-, than fifteen people waiting. We squinted nervously at each other in the darkness, wondering if everyone else on campus was intent on ignoring what had happened here. We shivered beside the Victory Bell and scanned the hillside for more participants. People joined the group in spurts. Slowly, sporadically we grew in number. At the last minute there came a charge of people down the hill behind Taylor Hall. Some of them brought candles, which were passed among us. Strong hands pumped the Victory Bell, while others fumbled in pockets and purses for matches and cigarette lighters. A few flames sprung to life and blinked in the wind. Those with unlit candles encircled those with light. Fire was passed from candle to candle until all glowed. Darkness was illuminated by wavering candle flames. The peal of the Victory Bell echoed through the air and was suddenly silent. No political speeches, historic reenactments or explanations of current legal proceedings followed. Someone merely thanked us for coming and said the procession was traditionally walked in silence. We were more or less left on our own to Mkt. Q Ramzfgbvaf MAY Ll! group in some semblance of a line. Everyone shuffled together and began he solemn walk around front campus. Within the silent clump of people. ,here really wasn't anything to do Jesides set one foot in front of the Jther, guard the candle flame, and neditate on what had happened six ,fears earlier. Most of the participants Neren't on campus in 1970. Like them, ny perceptions of what occurred were :louded by the hazy awareness of zhildhood. f In those six years the whole political climate had changed. In 1970 there was a controversial war, an organized draft, and much misconception about political radicals. People became active protestors because the issues involved them directly. By the spring of '76 there was no war and no draft. World problems were thousands of miles away. It seemed more important to be educated for the job market and accepted in society. I wasn't sure what happened six years ago could happen tomorrow at Kent State, but I believed I would have been on the Commons that tragic day. Maybe that was why I participated. Something distracted me and I snapped out of my thoughts into immediate reality. We were now walking along Main Street, moving as one solid mass of some 650 people and hundreds of candle flames. Cars sped past us. Several horns bellowed. I thought they were mocking us, the ceremony, and the dead, and I felt anger rise inside me. I was aware of a new enemy. The cameras - intruding lenses and cold, clicking shutters - shooting the procession to hell. I understood the need for some photographs, but there were too many photographers. How could they hope to capture our emotions? They ran back and forth. shooting off their mouths and their flash attachments as we shuffled solemnly, silently amid the candlelight. My candle snuffed out and I turned my attention to it. Somehow during the walk the candle commemorating four deaths had come to symbolize life itself. There was a battle to be fought - the candle had to conquer darkness as life had to conquer death. And in the silence we pulled together in the iight. A bond had sprung between those who walked here.

I stopped beside a stranger. Soon my candle burned again. I guarded it with all the care that a mother guards her child, but I could not save it from the wind. Twice it had to be relighted. Still I fought to shield it from harm. It blew out again. I believed it was an impossible battle to keep one fragile candle alive amid the wind. It had been an impossible battle to keep four students alive amid the bullets. We had come to Taylor Hall parking lot. Sites were roped-off where William Schroeder. Allison Krause, Sandy Scheuer, and Ieffrey Miller had fallen. Kent State students stood vigil in three of the sites. Ieffrey Miller's parents stood over the spot where their son had fallen. The rest of us gathered around the sites or stood before the tombstone marker, heads bowed, striving to imagine what we were not around to remember. Defying the wind, candlelight flickered around us. Mrs. Miller cried on her husbands shoulder. The sky cried a light rain overhead. And there were many tears on the faces around me.

His hands searched the sides of the box. He was a prisoner. Outside, the faces laughed and jeered, then, watched anxiously as his expression changed from worry to despair. As he continued his act more people gathered. Some were just curious, some intrigued. Most were caught in the mystique of his performance. Only a few left for classes before it was over. Don McLead, a mime artist featured in the 1976 Creative Arts Festival, en- tertained a crowd of 300 at his mini- performance in the Student Center. Seven types of cultural entertain- ment were represented April 25-28, in the tenth annual Creative Arts Festi- val. McLeod, who studied under Marcel Marceau, took time off from his tour with Diana Ross, one of several pop artists with mime acts, to visit Kent. Mime, he said, is a way of com- municating without words - a com- bination of the clown, serious actor, comedian, dancer and jester. It reflects our surroundings through movement. Following his mini-performance. McLeod held a workshop for inter- ested students. At 8:30 that evening he performed in the Kiva. Steve Sevell, a New York City com- mercial artist, participated in the festi- val for the second year. He served as this year's guest host and coordinator. He combined caricatures of all of the performers in a collage. Soleil, a laser light show, premiered in Anaheim, California in May, 1975. On April 25 students brought blankets and pillows to the Student Center ballroom to lie on the floor and watch the three laser beams dance and skip in harmony with an original sound track. Two shows were given, one at 8:30 p.m. and one at 10 p.m. Captain Blink gave a mini-perform- ance Monday, April 26 at noon. At 9 that night the seven member jazz band performed in the Kiva. Their music spans the jazz spectrum from 1940's bop to the spatial tangents of Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea. Two Penny Circus believes a clown lies dormant within each of us. Their act included theatrical skits, circus acts, acrobatics, fire-eating, juggling, unicycling and magic. After a preview mini-performance in the Student Cen- ter lobby, they presented an original commedies dell arte entitled The Misfortunes of Senor Pontatone or A Bad Boy in Bergannoxn, at 9 Wednes- day evening in University Auditorium.

But the average rugger plays the game for the sport of it. He is in the game for the physical contact and the pure sense of sport, said Pat Ioyce, KSU Rugby Club treasurer. Ruggers enjoy their club status. They pay for their own equipment and travel expenses. They set their own pace and they even act as their own pre-game entertainment when 'the choir' starts up. Since openings on college varsity teams are limited, club teams offer a chance to play. At KSU everyone in the rugby club plays: there are no cuts. Fifty men play rugby at KSUQ three teams of fifteen and five alternates. Ruggers lament all of the misconceptions that people have of their game. On a nice day 200-400 people watch a KSU rugby game. The first time one watches the game they associate the shape of the ball with the American football and therefore compare rugby with football. The comparison should be reversed. Rugby is somewhere in the middle of a progression from soccer to football. It seems that long ago a student at Rugby School in England became dissatisfied with his soccer practice. Instead of kicking the ball downfield, he picked up the ball and ran with it. After the initial shock of seeing him running with the ball, the rest of the team converged on him. Thus the lateral pass was born a move to save a person's skin. Rugby resembles soccer only in its continuous style of play. It has striking similarities to American football other than just the shape of the ball. Anyone who knows football can see the plays which evolved from the rugby scrum, ruck and try. A scrum reminds one of two rams batting horns. It is the start of an offensive 4-l play. Football's scrimmage is a derivation of the rugby scrummage. The ruck has evolved into the American gang tackle. The try is the ruggers' version of the T.D. KSU ruggers average three tries a game. Rugby is one of the most physically demanding sports. The participants run between five and seven miles per game and can take no time-outs, except for injury. And injuries there are! The bumper sticker that tells us, give blood play rugby is accurate. Ruggers play with various injuries, from bloody noses to broken fingers. KSU ruggers suffered only two serious injuries this spring. jim Tercek had a knee injury which required surgery and Pat Ioyce also suffered a knee injury. You ne'ver know, you might send a close friend or a new found friend to the Health Center after catching him in the middle of a ruck. But if the natural violence of the game doesn't drop a player, a flying tackle or a right hook may. Fights are not uncommon in the heat of battle but are frowned upon. The team has to play shorthanded whether a player leaves the game because of injury or ejection, so arguments are usually stopped before they can become anything else. It's easy for a player to be injured by a block because he doesn't wear any padding. When a player is injured, he is taken to the sidelines without stopping play. lf action cannot be continued around him, it is stopped. If the player recovers soon enough he may re-enter the game. Since injuries are part of the game, players can't afford to think about them very much. After all. if a player is worried about getting hurt by the next block, he isn't going to play very aggressively. Many ruggers play the game because it offers things other sports do not. Two of these other things 4 Q - 5 1' -I 2:51.

An old custom in rugby is for the home team to throw a party for the visitors. This presents a chance for the ruggers to meet each other outside the field of play. Each player pays S5 dues per quarter. For every home game he pays another 53, which is used for the after game parties. loyce believes that these parties are one of the reasons the guys stick with rugby. At the party the two teams exchange ideas about the game, and talk over differences. Songs are sung JT Qt and toasts are offered. This is clearly a departure from the 'win or else' philosophy of many varsity sports in which a player only thinks of his opponent as the enemy.

He just said. All right. everybody get out! Why, someone yelled. What the hell. I just got a full beer - it's only 1:20. it's not 2:30 yet. lf you dont want to die. you'll leave. was his tight-faced reply. As he replied. someone opened the door and we could see reflections of flames on it. We left without further discussion. We escaped without any injuries since everyone was urging everyone else to stay cool and take it easy . Outside it looked as if the whole Water St. strip was on fire for the second time in six months. We. the Water Street regulars. crossed the street and sat on the sidewalk. Taking furtive sips from a few shared beers. we watched the fire-fighting equip- ment arrive. The shells of the Kove and the Wa- ter Street Saloon were once again glowing. and l.B.'s. Walters. the Phoe- nix and Ron-de-vou were aglow from the flames within. lt was like watching the slow. pain- ful death of an old friend. The flames ate hungrily at the bars which had been a large part of many of our lives. It seemed to us as though many friendly ghosts rode out on the black H rubbery smoke and the bright orange flames. They came out of our memo- ries and merged with our visions of the fire. From Walters came the visions of rednecks and hippies: hardhats and professors: KSU administrators and students: doctors. lawyers. and motor- cycle gang members. They came out together. drinking together. and cur- sing together for and against local sports teams. We could see them hav- ing breakfast and .i:l or a 6:30 eye opener together. Some were having lunch to- gether. and some were just sitting around the tables bullshitting. From the Phoenix came the haun- tingly painful notes of the hard rock blues of 15-60-75. We could see the stoned gestures of phantom figures frantically dancing their blues away. From j.B.'s came the sizzling wails of the country rock from the Immortal Porpoises. We could see smoky spirals of denim and plaid clad. sweating dancers twisting to uncanny banjo and steel guitar sounds. As the visions merged with the black sky we found our attention drawn to the battle between fire and water. The buildings, themselves fought hard against the fire demons. but the wooden boulders and the riv- ers from the firemen were losing the battle. After what seemed like hours. the fire appearing to have consumed its fill. belched gigantic clouds of steam and left. The firemen, photographers, we, the hard-core mourners and a frantically pacing joe Bujack, owner of I.B.'s and the Phoenix, were all that were left. The Ron-de-you seemed to be in- tact. but only concrete shells and the downstairs of Walters seemed to be left of that which once seemed so permanent - the strip . We threw a few symbolic clumps on the grave and numbly and dumbly trudged home. We were sure that the strip was dead and we were unable to even speculate about any possible fu- ture for it. Epilogue October, 1976 - The Phoenix as well as the rest of the strip will rise from the ashes. The Ron-de-vou re-opened within days after the fire. l.B.'s re-opened in September. Walter's had a grand re- opening in October. A re-created Phoenix is expected to open in the Winter. Bob Petry is planning a new, much larger Kove. The strip will be back. Maybe?

Olds comments The situation was incredible and almost bi- zarre when I arrived. In the five years that Glenn A. Olds has been president of Kent State Uni- versity many changes have occurred within the faculty, administration and student body. When the student body learned of his possible departure to serve at Flor- ida International University in Miami, Florida, the Chestnut Burr conducted the following interview: Q: In the past live years how have your feelings about the campus and people at KSU changed? A: The situation was incredible and almost bizarre when I arrived. Our first night here my wife and l stayed at University Inn, where I was ap- proached by two couples who recog- nized me as the new Kent State Uni- versity president. One man said, Well, I hope you're gonna be a hell of a lot tougher than the man you're succeeding, they should have shot 400 of them, not 4. This was our introduction to Kent. 511 I, Ji 's x .- 1 i S It's hard to believe the feeling was that deep and rancid. The climate of the campus was one of fear, hostility, suspicion and anger. I took a lot of criticism from faculty and others. The reason I came to Kent was be- cause people were ready to sell your generation out as bad news , and I knew that was not true. I would say that climate has been dramatically changed. Q: When you first came here, what did you want to accomplish, and have you accomplished it? A: I wanted to do several things which have been accomplished. I wanted to restore confidence in the University on the part of the con- stituency and public. I wanted to heal the deep anger and frustration and I think that's pretty well done. I wanted to develop a consensus in planning for the University. Nobody knew where it was headed or if it was headed any- where. .Skin Q: If another university offered a bet- ter situation, such as a better inter- national system, would you stay here and finish the things you wanted to accomplish or would you leave? A: My disposition would be to stay here and finish. One of the things that was tempting about the Florida situation was the prospect of building an International University from scratch. On the other hand, this would be a very bad time to leave. It would ap- pear that I was leaving for all the wrong reasons. If I were to leave, it wouldn't be because I was dis- appointed in Kent, or frustrated by criticism, but because I thought it would provide a larger opportunity for service. Q: I-lave you made any plans con- cerning Florida yet? A: No. Everyone seems to know more about it than I do. I had told them I really couldn't be a candidate and that's true. I really came down to the final picture as a candidate on their terms. I have a deep commitment to this University and have given it five of the toughest years of my life. Q: When will you know about Flor- ida? A: I'll have to decide within the next few weeks. Q: What effects have collective bar- gaining had on your position as presi- dent? A: lt has challenged a lot of my basic assumptions and philosophy. I be- lieve in the collegial concept of a uni- versity, and l have resisted, obviously, the adversarial structure. That is what I found here and worked hard to im- prove. I believe in government by the consent of the governed. Therefore, I think the faculty had a right to deter- mine what mode of participation they preferred in the problems of the Uni- versity. If I voted, I would have voted against the faculty union because I think the university is the last outpost of real freedom. I find it contradictory that I'm going to trust somebody else to do my negotiating and my collabo- ration. Obviously, my purpose now is to try to make it work and to try to insure that the worst possibilities of collective bargaining do not occur. Q: What does the next 20 years hold for Kent? A: It could become a good median regional university - and that's good - but it has a chance of being uni- quely great. It's the latter vision of the university that I share and that brought me here and that will keep me here. Kent State isn't a place, it's an historic event. Q: Ohio is now ranked 48 in money spent for education. Yet, Kent is rank- ed very high in costs. Do you think this will ever change? gif 1' - A: Oh, yes. lt's one of the reasons I came to Ohio. My experience has been if you start at the bottom, there's a lot of room, and that's where we are. Sure, it can happen in Ohio. It's a great state. It's a disgrace that it should not be one of the pace setting leaders in higher education. S: Thank you very much, Dr. Olds. A: O.K.

All around me sit disassembled tvs, ra- dios, eight-track players and cb units. As a service to the campus commu- nity the Hi Fi Clinic in room 204 pro- vides convenient appliance repair at moderate prices. ln the five years the clinic has been open thousands of ra- dios, tvs, stereos and cb units have lt been put back in working order, ac- cording to Director Richard Koelker, industrial technology professor. Between three and tive technology students help out in the clinic every quarter. The number who staff the office depends upon their time and the needs of their customers. Students work in the clinic on a voluntary basis. No credit is given for work in the clinic, but it is a possi- bility, according to Koelker, although .' fr ,X 1 ff D it has never been done. He works on each unit, either alone, or with stu- dent help. Students can learn by watching him. Last Saturday a sophomore girl brought in a turntable which did not turn. She was anxious to get it repair- ed. Koelker showed Greg Pozzi what was wrong with it and how to fix it. OK, Pozzi, he said the next time someone brought in a broken turn- table, Take that thing apart and do that little number I showed you. Koelker named three other regulars in the clinic all quarter. Ioe Schaffner, a senior, Paul Weber, a senior, and Iohn Simon help Koelker with the re- pairs. Simon is taking a transistor class with Koelker. He said 902 of the equipment brought into the clinic is transistorized. You learn more by working on the real equipment than if you read about it in a book, he said. He explained he is always learning something new about circuitry in the clinic. Simon spends about two hours in the clinic on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Both students and faculty bring in broken equipment. lust the other day one of the associate provosts brought in a broken loudspeaker. The Campus Police Department has had their ra- dios and tvs repaired in the clinic. Students get their First impression of technology at the clinic. lt brings stu- dents into the building and introduces them to the field. Koelker was in Clar- kins last fall when a girl he had never seen before walked by with a turn- table. Iokingly he said, when that thing quits, bring it to the I-li Fi Clinic and we'll fix it for you. The girl had just had an estimate done on it at Clarkins. The estimate was S50 and the estimate itself cost SG. Koelker took the girl and the turntable into the clinic and repaired it for her that day for SZ, Most equipment can be repaired the same day but there are exceptions. More than 100 units pass through the clinic doors each quarter. If a part is not available locally, the owner can order it himself, or the clinic can re- engineer the unit so it at least works. 1 r The clinic provides technology stu- dents an opportunity for involvement and experience with customers and equipment.

A board on the side wall lists all current clients and job assignments. The list may include the monthly program guide for WKSU. an income tax brochure for the Kent Finance Department. book covers, logo designs. an annual report, a bumper sticker, stationery. catalogues and posters. All of the clients are affiliated with KSU or another non-profit organization. All of the jobs are screened to provide the artist with a learning experience. The artist is an amateur, yet he is a professional. He is a member of Glyphix, a program unique to the KSU School of Art. Glyphix, a combination of the words hieroglyph and graphics, is a studio staffed by 10 to 15 students of Graphic Design and Illustration. Its purpose is to provide creative, quality print design for the university and 54 community while giving top students professional work experience. As George Opryszko worked on a catalogue for the Blossom Art School, he explained that the chance to work with a client on an actual job. instead of a hypothetical problem assigned in class, is invaluable. A job-seeker who has been a member of Glyphix will have printed work in his portfolio. Sandi Thome, who was in her fourth quarter with Glyphix this fall, said few students have the opportunity to see their work printed. Students are admitted to Glyphix any time after completion of certain 3000 level graphic design courses. They are chosen on the basis of creativity, skill, reliability, self- direction and discipline through letters of recommendation from faculty members, interviews with Glyphix Art Director Charles Walker and a portfolio examination by Walker and staff members. I' . Students are graded and receive three to nine credit hours for Glyphix. They are expected to spend at least two hours in the studio for every credit hour earned, though the actual time varies according to assignments and usually includes much more, Two members are art directors of the 1976 Chestnut Burr. Lewis Williams and Tom Bugzavich spend the bulk of their time with the yearbook, though they also work on other jobs. They had the choice of ,, , NV ni'-,os-0 ' receiving either credit or the Burr art staff salary, so they chose credit, donating the money toward studio equipment. Two other Glyphix students were apprentices with the Publications Office fall quarter, and additional apprenticeships are being developed where the student elects either pay or credit. Glyphix bills clients for material costs only, and members may not accept payment for studio work. If money above material costs is available, it is used for supplies, publicity and entrance fees to professional shows. Herbert Baade, Nancey Andrews.

Whatever the reason, the person that answers is expected to be a health professional who can find the solution to whatever problem may be facing the patient, even if the patient does not really know what is bothering them. At KSU 739 men and women want to be the persons who respond to those pleas for help. In order to become a nursing professional, 475 sophomore, junior and senior nursing students spend 1240 hours in a hospital or other professional health facility during their last three years at KSU. These clinical nursing courses also involve an additional 520 lecture hours. This adds up to an impressive 1760 clinical and lecture hours texcluding study, travel and preparation timel for 86 credit hours. The clinical nursing courses are taught in hospitals and community health facilities throughout northeast Ohio. Nursing students may get up as early as 5 a.m. to take a bus to Cleveland's Mt. Sinai or St. Lukes hospitals. Other nurses may spend clinical time at hospitals in Akron or Ravenna. Seniors provide their own transportation to community health facilities in Cuyahoga, Portage. Stark or Summit counties. Stress in clinical situations is on the application of theories learned in lecture to the practice of professional nursing in an instructor supervised real-life situation. Student nurses learn to view each patient in a holistic fashion. All aspects of the physical as well as psychological well-being are carefully considered. Patients are not just viewed in terms of medications and illnesses or injuries. Young nursing professionals are taught to see each individual in terms of a total nursing :fi Y .L1 3 1: lr' 'W W- Aww.. f i ':-dan-t sy ' 1-lbw p,,,,g.' n, - care program. They are taught to think of each person in terms of age and their psychological adjustment to both their illness and the hospital environment. The aspiring nurses are taught to communicate with, work with and support the families of the patients in order to help them understand the part they play in the health care of the individual. In short, these young professionals are being prepared to be able to assess a patients needs, prepare a total health care plan that will meet those needs, implement that plan and then evaluate the effectiveness of the plan. Hopefully, if you ever cry, Nurse! the person that answers that call will have participated in this kind of professional education.

Kent Acting and Touring Company, Incorporated QKATCJ is the place for KSU students to audition if they are looking for professional theater experience. In its second year KATC is already known for intimate style musicals and environmental theater. Sheila Crowley has worked in both university and KATC productions. She said university performances are usually done for educational purposes. Students participate because it is expected of them. People participate in KATC because they are W1 excited about theater, she continued. Unlike university productions KATC is not limited to using only students in casts and technical crews. Students in KATC have the opportunity to work beside experienced professionals. If you can do it, you're in, said Crowley. R.C. Wilson has been involved in two KATC fall productions. I-le worked beside Harold Darkow, an experienced actor in Dracula. Darkow played Dracula, and Wilson played Simon. When Richard Henzel V . - lo, i .. . 'QQ f r '. ' '-1 A l . - ?

Deb Raber is gaining experience working production and promotion for professional actors. She worked on both Dracula and Mark Twain. Managing Artistic Director Iames Thornton does not distinguish between students and non-students. To him you are the actor, the main participant, said Crowley. She contrasted this with the I am the director, you are the student attitude that most KSU directors have. Part of the excitement comes from being in a different location for every show. Thornton, who is currently pursuing his MA at KSU, utilizes these different environments to combine actors and audience in a unique theater experience. KATC has no theater of its own. It has no grants or funding. Students are not paid for their efforts. The com- pany pays for sets, theater rentals, tickets and production costs through private patronage and box office sales. David Prittie has worked with KATC since its birth two years ago. Last spring he finished off the season in jacques Brel while completing a BA in theater arts. This year he returned as KATC's first professional resident actor. Even now in its formative stages KATC offers the community unique drama experiences. It is also providing KSU theater students with the opportunity to do it professionally. 3 3 ff'-5 -W 99' 1 I Audiences see only KATC's polished productions topposite bottomj.

Aviation is a profession which demands mental and physical endurance. No one is more aware of this than students who major in Aerospace Technology. l visited Andrew W. Paton airport, yesterday. where students train to pass Federal Aviation Association LFAAQ tests for private, commercial, multi-engine and instrument ratings. About 42 students are there this quarter preparing for careers in airport management and flight training. Students are taught the basics of communication, weather, navigation and FAA flight regulations. Other funadamental information about aircraft design and construction, and engine and electrical systems is taught in classes on main campus before the student begins his training at the airport. The history of the aerospace program goes back to the post-World War ll years when the late Andrew W. Paton started the program with one professor and one student. Gradually, the program grew to its present form in 1965. Students do not have much difficulty in obtaining employment when they graduate, according to Karl D. Gould, assistant professor of aerospace technology. Not many positions are open with the airlines, however, so most are employed by corporate aviation firms. At the airport I talked with Marc Elliot who has 200 hours flight time. He said that flying is a familiar situation since both his father and brother have pilot licenses. He added that it was not hard for him to decide fill flfgf - - I on an aviation career. Ed Beacon with 1,000 hours flight time is a part-time flight instructor in the program. He told me he is the first aviator in his family. While his par- ents were not overjoyed at the thought of him majoring in aerospace tech- nology, they have accepted his choice of career. Both Beacon and Elliot told me that they enjoyed the opportunities the aerospace major offers them in both travel and experience. Flying is something you really have to enjoy in order to succeed, they agreed. l asked them if a fear of flying is unusual for the beginning student. Elliot explained, lt's something you get used to or you get out. While there are aviation programs in Army and Air Force ROTC, a major in aerospace technology does not place the student under any type of military obligation. The major demands a great deal of academic effort, according to Beacon and Elliot. The FAA requires a high degree of competency before granting a pilot's license. Students in the aerospace program should have a good background in math and physics, Beacon and Elliot told me. The aerospace students l've seen are dedicated to their profession. They not only love flying, they are willing to study the principles they must know to become certified. fvfs Ulu: u ff xg. II, , , . 1 Ll 1 ,., 1.- .K---, !

I was surprised not to see a single gray flannel suit or nrew nut. How- ever. one student did tell me that some of us do have gray flannel suits, but we keep them in our closets and bring them out for special occasions, What I did find in the business building were students with definite goals in mind who are confident that there will be a job waiting for them when they leave here. Most of the business majors I talked to said they chose to major in that field becuase of the availability of jobs. A senior marketing major who had previously worked as a retail store manager said he chose marketing beeause I thought it would have the most job opportunities. On the other hand, I talked to a student who had nhanged his major from marketing to art education.

He has a S6 an hour job at the A8tP, so he's not worrying about the lack of jobs in art education. Business majors do a lot of work outside of class that helps them gain practical experience. Marketing ma- jors do simulation projects involving the use of computers. Finance majors often work on case studies. Account- ing majors solve problems that apply to theories they learn in class. How- ever, one student said doing the home- work can be a waste of time since the teachers explain everything in class the next day. lf I do the homework and get it wrong, I just get more con- fused when the teacher explains it, he said. All business majors think their par- ticular speciality is unique. Karen Di- Fiore, a senior marketing major, said marketing is dynamic , You have the most direct contact with people. A senior finance major defended his choice by saying that all society ex- ists around business and all business exists around finance. Everyone makes an investment sometime in his life, whether it's buying a house or buying a car. A senior computer sci- ence major said his major is unique because it's such a relatively young field that l'll have to keep on learning new developments even after I get out of school , lf I could describe business ni.ijors, l'd have to say they are just about the most self-assured group ot' students l have ever seen. They all know exactly what they want to do when they get out of school career-wise, besides make a lot of money. Une economics major told me, Were realistic, 'l'bose people over in Bowman all walk around ina fog. tilt I searched like Diogenes, the mythological Greek who sought an honest man, through the tunnels of Cunningham for the typical biology major. I looked on, under and even through the microscopes which Biology students use in labs to investigate microscopic life. Into herbariums, aquariums and even tubes containing barium I peered. I watched and photographed as students bisectecl, trisected and by instructors were di- rected in their searches for various anatomical phenomena. Inside the labs in Cunningham's basement students experimented, while upstairs their companions listened and learned from lectures and lessons. I looked out the back toward the greenhouse where botanists grew hybrids and mutations. When I turned my search to the homo sapiens walking around, I learned some startling facts about these creatures who inhabit Cunningham. There, just aren't any typical biology majors. The students here are just as varied in size, shape, coloring and other physical characteristics as the rest of the population of KSU. They seem in general to be no more or less concerned with grades than say their peers in philosophy. They said they didn't particularly think they had to study any more or less than any other students, although a few did complain about rote memorization - but then don't we all? Although I failed in my search for a typical biology major , a term Professor David Waller, undergraduate advisor laughed at, I did find that Biological Science majors actually like it here. Instead of complaining about their professors' inattention and unfairness, they told of the openness and availability of both instructors and .A 1-4 professors. Instead of bitching about long lab hours, they expressed an appreciation for a hands on approach to learning. Students said that being able to participate in research currently being conducted in the department made them feel that they were working in a real world instead of just a make- believe academic environment. Interested students can participate in research in limnology, physiology, entomology, botany, zoology, biology, conservation fisheries and other related areas. Promising undergraduates are given undergraduate assistantships. They assist instructors in labs, another way for students to become involved in the department. Students enter biology to prepare for medical, research, conservation and veterinary related fields, but what keeps them in the Biological Sciences department? Faculty! Statements such 41 as, They are willing to share any little bit of knowledge with you. and They make you realize that your dreams can become reality, keep cropping up in conversations with students. Dr. Foote and Professor Waller are frequently named as the reasons I am in this department . Well, I sure am glad I talked to these students. I had thought statisfied students were extinct. I think I have found some of the reasons for their existence. But, I am also sure there are many more. Spending hours in labs and the greenhouse becomes a natural thing for biology students.

David Shaffer Philosoph Contrasting majors Philosophy is a persistent attempt to think things through, said Henry james. and with that quote in mind, I set off to the philosophy office on the third floor of Bowman Hall. I was searching for a pipe-smoking eccentric pondering the meaning of life with holes in the soles of his shoes and patches on his elbows. A degree in philosophy, according to Miss Steel, one of the philosophy professors, limits a person only in fields that require a technical or specific background. With the minduse employed in the discipline of philosophy, a graduate can tackle any job and do well. He possesses a broad background, and Miss Steel added, a persons mind has been broadened and sharpened by reading philosophy. Grad students realize that a job in philosophy is a fairy tale - there are 17 PhD's to each teaching position in philosophy. Talking to graduate and titi i equi'-: .i .1-uni , if-. . Q ua H an lim undergraduate majors. I began to realize that they were serious about being there. They said, Yeah, most of us are more serious and dedicated to our disciplines. They seem to possess an openness about philosophy, a happy consciousness, and a calmness that some said they had found when they entered philosophy. They also have a different angle on life. One graduate student told me he had gone into philosophy hoping it would answer pertinent questions of life. However, in the search for the answers, he found that the questions multiplied, with no answers forthcoming. He assured me this may be a sort of an answer. Many of the people who major in philosophy are drop-outs from other majors. One undergraduate told me he had been in political science, but had lost interest and transferred to philoso- phy because, It lends itself to the entertainment of different views and opinions, and allows for more ques- tions to be raised. Also, philosophy requires an effort from everyone in- volved - even bright students are of- ten pressured. Everyone I spoke with agreed that philosophy is fun, a creative fun. There is creative stimulation in reading and comprehending philosophy, and writing lends itself to explorations of creativity. The joy of reading something again and again, and discovering something new each time, is unbelieveable. lt's been likened to discovering a case of Coors on your doorstep. Philosophy tends to have a lot of its own vocabulary. The classes consist of lectures, discussions, and a lot of question-and-answer sections. Those who have never experienced class say that it cannot a philosophy teach them a thing. But by the end of they are conducting the quarter inquires into everything. Introductory courses either stimulate a person's interest or completely turn him off. Due to the subject matter and unique vocabulary there is a tendancy to withdraw into the discipline. Miss Steel remarked, Philosophy is of itself an art form, and philosophers themselves are artists.

Unique Classes Wild, Edible Foods Biology, history, art and photography students are all brought together in Wild, Edible Foods to exchange ideas on the joys of eating. Students willingly go to class on Saturday for a field trip in the rain to hunt mushrooms at West Branch State Park. They get muddy from head to toe collecting cattails for bread- making. The sweet smell of seeping spearmint tea fills their homes. The class is small to allow a 'Amore intimate interaction with nature, said graduate student Wayne Zipperer. who teaches the class. It is offered on a pass-fail basis by the Experimental College. Lectures cover information about poisonous plants, survival techniques. vegetarianism. and locally-found, wild foods and their preparation. Students draw plant names out of a hat weekly and cross-reference the plant, its identifying features. where it can be found and its uses. Field trips are made to local areas such as jennings Woods, Towner Woods. Allerton fields and a Streetsboro bog. At the feast at the end of the quarter wild, leek soup, lambs quarter lasagna. cattail cookies, poke casserole, japanese knotwood with wild strawberries, dandelion root coffee and rhubarb wine are served. Graduate student Debbie Lodge. who taught the class spring quarter, sees a tendency for people to alienate themselves from nature. She feels grateful for everything she has ever collected from the wild. She teaches the class to encourage this appreciation in others. Laura Klein, a junior in nature interpretation. liked the personal exchange of ideas in the class - a change from just book-learning. 68 1 K 3651 ah-fx ' ig -f SEI . LH...

This class in the Recreation Department requires more imagination. Creating puppets from paper bags and light bulbs, flour sculpting, and making egg carton critters and dolls from Pringle cans can't be learned from a book. Miss Laurel Wilcox teaches about 50 crafts per quarter. She tries to not enforce she gives encourage creativity. uniformity. After instructions, students create their own designs. Most of the crafts are made from junk materials so cost is kept at a minimum. Their potential use in community programs is stressed. The crafts are used both as therapy and recreation and can be adapted to any age group or population. Having a permissive supportive atmosphere is one of her objectives in teaching the class. Students are encouraged to share ideas and critique one anothers work. Cheryl Southworth, a graphic design major, said the class is good therapy.

One wrong stroke and you are a cat, a dog or a monkey. Sometimes the results may not be what the artist originally intended, They are created with a soft stroke of a brush, or destroyed by a harsh wipe of a cloth. In a room full of mirrors students stare with deep concentration at their changing faces. The atmosphere is relaxed with Professor Duane Reed offering occasional advice. I don't like to give letter grades, he said, applying make-up involves too much experimentation. Students begin the quarter by analyzing their personal facial features. Make-up is applyed to highlight personal characteristics. Then, moving away from realism, faces become more exaggerated. Age changes. wrinkles develop, hair greys, beards grow and new attitudes are adopted. Mary Yursky, after two hours of painting her face, examines it.

Thats why he is teaching a class offering an alternative to traditional education. I-Ie tries to be the kind of teacher he always wanted to have. Anatomy of Peaceful Change is in opposition to what he calls the digestion, regurgitation syndrone. There are no multiple choice tests to study for, and personal development takes priority over grades. Five areas of change are discussed: individual, group, institutional, societal and world. For practical experience students are required to participate in one of three outside activities, a poverty plunge. life- plannig workshop or a political dynamics workshop. Fall quarter students were left to survive in a strange city for a weekend with nothing but 2013. To approach people they were to assume the role of journalists covering the election. They had to get money for food and find a place to sleep. For accounting major Phil Smith the plunge was a chance to experience something different. Although the reactions of people he approached ranged from hostility to concern, Phil found it easy if you knew how to talk to people. He received S20 from the third person he approached - an elderly woman. The plunge is a form of consciousness - raising. Iacobs said. It takes students out of their sheltered environment and puts them in contact with the real people of life. Iacobs is trying to make education more humane. He hopes to make students more aware of their environment: what they as individuals can do to change it peacefully, naturally. 71 Fall Documenting October 7, 1976 Morning Music in my ear makes my heart beat faster, and my eyes and con- sciousness open slightly.

And that intrigued me - does it change a per- son overnight, or does it take the whole four years? It was one of those sunny Thursdays, and as I walked across the plaza, I stopped to talk to Priscilla Davis, a senior majoring in English. Her general comments ran along the line of enjoying life in the dorms. changing her major from education to library science, and that Kent, despite all the grumbling to the contrary, was inexpensive ja comment to be men- tioned oftenj. Inside the Student Center, upstairs in the dining room, the crowd had thinned out some, and amid the clut- ter of lunch and textbooks, Peter La- veck gave me his impressions of edu- cation at KSU. He started at the branch in Ashta- bula, then transferred here, intent upon majoring in journalism. How- ever, he soon decided to drop that, and now leans toward psychology. He commented on the faculty that, for as little as some professors earn, they're dedicated to giving all they can. Also, he noted, he would like to see smaller classes, but that seemed pretty much just a dream. Then, in parting, he commented, One thing - if I didn't enjoy being here, learning, I wouldn't bother to be here.

For every person I found who had stuck to hisfher original career plans, I found someone who had changed along the way.

She's a volunteer for Townhall II now, and finds it challenging. She came from a small town and came to accept things on the campus as they were. When asked about the administration, she responded, I'm not too happy with them. Often I feel like I suffer under a lack of informa- tion about policies.

Photography Bill Lewis 85 Underclassmen Over and over again, people said how friendly they found the people here. However, Sherry MacDonald, a freshman was an exception. She was sitting on a low wall when I ap- proached her. Living in a house in Kent owned by her father, she said she hadn't had time to meet many people, and the ones in her classes were always moving too quick to get to know yet. But smiling, she assured me she liked it here. It's different from high school - the teachers are different - better. And there's a lot of freedom. Then she added, It's a large spacious campus, which adds to the overall feeling of freedom. Chris Benzle, a freshman geology major, had lived in the South for a few years. although he is originally from Cleveland. To him, it just seemed logical to tzonie to Kent State when he moved hack up here. He enjoys the spacious- ness, but was surprised not to End titi many radicals. He did find, as he ex- pected, lots of parties. The frustrations of dealing with the administration were uppermost on sophomore Debbie Kline's mind when we talked. She and her dog had cov- ered, as she put it, almost the whole campus . trying to get a class. While I petted her dog, she told me. Trying to get this class, I've gone around in circles. Going to see the dean is like going to see the Wizard of Oz. You go there, fill out a sheet stating what you want, go perform some function, Come back, and then maybe he'll see you. I interrupted freshman Scott Harpers studying to inquire about his feelings on Kent State. He hadn't declared a major - he said he would hnd something he liked. And when I asked what he expected to find here, he answered, School So when I next asked what he expected to End here, he naturally and easily replied, A degree. Q l 1' Written byMar1ann Hof Photography This page B ll L 's Opp Faculty!Staff I cut through Rockwell Hall one afternoon and fell into conversation with Paul Okolish, an academic advisor. After introductions, I asked him why he thought students come here. Grinning, he replied, The locale, the good programs, like the architecture and journalism departments, the idea that it's a state school, availability of financial aid, and just the campus itself. A lot of people come to see it and just fall in love with it. Then I asked the inevitable question: Why are you here? His answer came naturally. I enjoy working with people, helping them. I can see the need for good, concerned academic advising. And you really get to know a lot about the university, for you have to learn a little about everything here.

He added, after a moment's thought, Why go some place far and more expensive when you can get the same or better education close to home? My next question quickly drew a smile from him, as I asked, Why did you chose Kent? He reflected a few minutes, then said, In the 60's, when I first came here, I saw Kent as having a bright future in graduate studies. I could see it developing into a strong graduate institute. At the moment, I think we're bogged down, but it's only a temporary thing. I still think Kent will develop to its potential. So, after all the interviewing was over, and I looked over my notes, I could see that change comes to people at different times, and sometimes not at all. But that four years of college does affect a person's perspective. 87 Football Spotlighting a defensive tackle I I A ggi' 8 8 if! , mv Smiling, senior defensive taclde Glenn Deadmond savors the Homecoming victory Qopposite, top leftl despite being kept out of the game by a painful injury fopposite, top rightj.

Opposite page: Ioe Stenger, top left Bill Lewis, bottom left, right This page: loe Stenger Senior Glenn Deadmond was smil- ing as he explained his four-year in- volvement with the KSU football team - an involvement that has seen him develop into one of the best defensive linemen in the Mid-American Confer- ence. Basically I play for the scholarship. It's something you've go to go out and work for, that's what it comes down to, he said. t'Of course, I enjoy the game. l've enjoyed it ever since I start- ed playing in high school. But after practice it's like after a regular eight- hour job - like you just got off work. The 6-1, 255 lb. senior might now be punching a clock for such bigtime football powers as Michigan State or Purdue if those schools had not sought out his talents as an offensive rather than a defensive palyer. For three years at Detroit Cooley High School, Deadmond played both posi- tions. But he preferred defense, and chose KSU over the others. When you play defense, you're the one giving out the beating, estab- lishing the tempo. said Deadmond. You're the aggressor. I like being in that position. 90 As the team limped to a 4-7 season last year, dissention grew widespread among the players. Threats of a player walkout never materialized. But the charged atmosphere of that season, said Deadmond, is far removed from the feeling this season. During the season, football is all you have on your mind. This season the players are very much into the game. Players and coaches can talk to one another. It's a relaxed atmop- shere, Deadmond said. When you have a lot of younger players, there is generally more en- thusiasm about the game. That's what this teams got. I guess the greatest thrill l've had here was the game this year against Miami, said Deadmond. We have no trouble getting up for Miami: it's al- ways a big game for us. It's kind of like Ohio State-Michigan - you feel like everything is on the line. And then to win the game That was all right. In the last year, l've tried to im- prove my strength and quickness, he continued. You go through a lot more punishment playing in the middle. Sometimes you have to play hurt. But again, that's really up to you, what- ever you can take. If it's just killing you, you take yourself out. Although KSU has supported its football teams in the past fparticularly in Deadmond's freshman year when the Flashes finished second in the con- ferencej, home games are generally played before 20,000 or more empty seats. To Deadmond, sometimes it seems like a thankless job. Oh, sometimes you wonder what it might have been like going some- where else. This just isn't a sports- oriented campus. I don't know what people here are interested in, Dead- mond said. But there are people who are into sports, he continued. And they are very cool about it, they express their concern. There are some loyal fans here. On the eve of his last game for KSU Deadmond wondered aloud about his past and future in the game of foot- ball. I guess it's really had a big effect on my life, he said. Before I came to Kent, I was the quiet, shy type. But l've opened up through being around the other players. The game gets you close together with the players. You hang together. I'm still not real bois- terous, but l've opened up some. I'd like to give the pros a try, he said. I like the Saturdays enough to stay with it. I don't really mind the other work that goes into it. But you're out there for the Saturdays. Suffering from an eye injury.

Photography joe Stenger X N 'X -Q... omecoming Variation of tradition Homecoming falls on a different day every year. This year Home- coming, Halloween, and the last day of Daylight Savings time fell on Octo- ber 30. Homecoming was first celebrated at KSU in 1929, although the traditional homecoming activities were not for- mally established until the next year. Many of the older traditions such as the football game are still retained. This year the Flashes humiliated East- ern Michigan 38-13. However, each year new events are added and older events are left behind. The cross country race for the cov- eted homecoming trophy is still in ex- istence, but the race has been trans- formed through the years into a wild steeplechase. The winners of this event receive the Bowman Cup which has been part of the home- coming tradition for more than a dec- ade. This year the Apple Corps won the trophy. In the battle for the Bowman Cup the Corps stuffed themselves into a Volkswagon and painted each other 92 -ei Students willingly cram themselves into a VW at the Student Center ftop,leftl.

Homecoming tradition was com- pletely broken this year when no queen was selected. Andy Malitz, head of the All Campus Programming Board QACPBJ Homecoming Com- mitte, attributed this to the women's movement. Lobbyists from Kent Women Against Coalition QKWACJ and other groups said that a queen contest was a sexist thing , and they would not permit it - no matter how much of a tradition it was. In the past a bonfire, carnival, and 12-foot spirit log have been used to celebrate homecoming. This year the KSU skydivers parachuted into the stadium for the second year, and the 1976 distinguished teaching awards were announced at the Homecoming Luncheon. as One social event which has become a tradition of Homecoming is a con- cert performed by a special singer or top band. The first concert featured Ralph Marterie and his Marlboro Or- chestra in 1956.

U B ack Homecoming Creation of tradition Black Homecoming has been celebrated every year since 1970. Its purpose is to celebrate the richness of black students and their culture. 94 Black United Students fB.U.S.l, the Elite Ebony Soul, Incorporated, and All Campus Programming Board QACPBJ collaborated to present a week of activities November 7 through November 10. A need for transition in name and purpose was seen for this year's ball. Thus it was renamed Ebonite Ball and more emphasis was placed on the black women. The four queens, representing each class, were traditionally crowned at the Homecoming Ball. This year the queen contestants were judged on the basis of their creative expression of black womanhood and leadership qualities, along with their talent, and career goals and objectives. Karen Slade, a senior telecommunications major was crowned at the Ebonite Ball on November 7 in the ballroom. She read poetry in the talent contest. A fashion show was sponsored by B.U.S. on November 8 in the Kiva, and on the 10, Roy Ayers and Ubiquity performed, co-sponsored by ACPB and B.U.S. Approximately 400 people participated in the three days of activities.

I am wearing a blue tunic with black and white designs. Its crotch comes to my knees and its sleeves are not stitched underneath. They are like wings: the matching skull cap and pants are tight. Navy knee socks are pulled over my pants, and a red jacket hangs over my shoulders. Parent-types leave a frat house, and I remember it is Homecoming. Acrylic paint colors sit in plates in front of a long mirror that leans against the bedroom door. The artist's face is shiny with cold cream. She paints it an African mask, using each color carefully. I draw designs on paper and mix whiskey and Seven-up. The Roman comes home. She cannot decide whether to drive alone to a party in Cleveland or go with us. She finally leaves, but comes back because she cannot find the address. The painted lady paints my face blue, black and white, suggesting the flow of my costume on my face. Superman and bumble bee arrive. They paint their faces and take pictures. I decide I am a Liberian Monk. We wait for the ear. She arrives instead an upside-down man, tlli bringing a normal human friend. We drive to the Ice Arena and run from the cars in excitement and embarassment. The first period of the hockey game has just ended. Everyone looks at us. We are loud and laughing. We talk to people and watch a few minutes of the game. We are glad not to be working tonight. When we enter the 11th Frame everyone claps and the band leader acknowledges old friends. The football-alumni people are dressed-up and happy. It is Homecoming and victory time. It is Halloween. We sing-a-long with Dave. We drink. A short man with a shiny head and rosy cheeks buzzes at the bee and swivels his hips. He takes the dance floor to shuffle and tap. He takes the mike to sing those old songs. He has been sick and tonight is his first night back at the bar. Everyone loves him. We follow the sax plaver in a line that curves and claps singing When the Saints Go Marching In . At 2 a.m. the last acknowledgements are made: the last songs are sung. You're nobody 'till somebody loves you. Clocks turn back to 1 a.m. The girls are ready to play more, singing as we drive away, but I go home to sleep. It is Halloween and after I've slept two hours a blue ghost knocks at my door. I-le is wet from walking in the rain and wasted from drinking tequila. He wants to show me Kent. We wrap in his poncho and hold each other up. We are not cold. Few cars drive on the overpass: none light Depeyster or Erie. The streets are black and shiny with rain and lamplights. We look in Ierry's Diner and the ghost sees some old friends, so we go in to talk. They are tired and disappointed after a party. I remember the bearded man. The waitresses, costumes dripping with Halloween make-up, beg us to leave. They are weary. It is their hour to clean and close. I feel sorry for them and pull the ghost away. We refuse a ride and walk a block to Franklin Street. It is as deserted as the old train depot. We stand on the building's river-side under the protective overhanging roof. We cross the tracks, lean on the rail and watch the river. Its water doesn't fall since the wall is open. It gushes. We look for trains. It is 4 or 5 a.m., and Halloween.

Gerald Ford had hoped it would. Republican strategy Qngame plans as the former All-American's aides described itl predicted that Ford must win in Ohio to defeat Iimmy Carter: they contended that Ford would collect the state's 25 electoral votes if Mother Nature cooperated and kept Carter supporters home. ln other words, the Bicentennial year was ushered out with politicians hoping the public didn't care and wouldnt vote. Although this at iirst seems like a haphazard way to decide the nation's future for four years, it is actually typical in a race that was conducted in an atmosphere like that of a game show. Ford and Carter both spent a lot of time land a lot more moneyl in Ohio trying to attract various voter groups. Campaigners such as Birch Bayh and Howard Metzenbaum visited the KSU S18 - 3. campus Fall quarter stumping for Georgia's answer to Horatio Alger. Neither drew a large crowd, but at least they knew where they were. If Ford had spoken at KSU and referred to it as Bowling Green, he might have lost more than his sense of direction. I pictured students filing slowly between the Student Center and Bowman Hall during an autumn drizzle and wondered if the campaigners had taken into account students who might not be deterred from voting by an insignificant factor like the weather. Other minor factors such as the qualifications of the candidates deterred them, several nonvoting students said. Seems as if the qualifications most campaigners cared about were those of the other candidate. I don't think students hesitated to vote for any conscious particular rea- son, but many didn't because of an unconscious reason - they felt that it didn't make any difference who was in office. Things would always be hopeless, a campus bus passenger suggested. Obviously many people thought their vote would make a difference, but I think that view was advanced and publicized by the media - the press said it would be close, so it was. he replied, shrugging his shoul- ders as he climbed off the bus. The doors slid shut and the bus began rolling again, its occupants sitting in their silent, dazed worlds: I watched and wondered how many voted with- out really understanding the candi- dates and issues. There was a lot thrown at us in such a short time: I don't see how the average person could absorb it all, an education major said. I voted just because I felt responsible for making an intelligent choice. I was worried about those kind of people who vote without any real idea of what the candidate plans to do. I don't trust the other guy, I guess, she added. She seemed sure that ignorant vot- ers were abundant. One person who fell in this category told me, Since I'm living in Kent I decided to register and vote here in- stead of in my home in Massillon. I kept up on the Carter-Ford race and knew enough about Taft and Metzen- baum, but I felt foolish in the voting booth when I realized I didnt know anything about those state issues or the local candidates. I left most of them blank because I had no idea which of the choices was the most sensible . . . or the least nonsensical. Several persons said they chose Carter or Ford for a single or a few reasons rather than supporting the en- tire platform. Reasons cited included Carter's stand for a blanket pardon of Vietnam draft evaders, Ford's pardon of Rich- ard Nixon, Ford's verbal slips throughout the campaign, and Carter's alleged fuzziness on the issues. The anti-Washington sentiment that Carter espoused for 22 months before November 2, 1976 apparently did have an effect - besides Ford's defeat, about two dozen incumbant Congress- men were defeated. I think people just got sick and tired of the way they timcumbentsj ran the nation without listening to their constituents, a polit- ical science student said. Carter and the others weren't elected because of who they were, but because they rep- resented change - or at least a chance for change, he commented. Students expressed interest in the presidential debates, those who watched for enlightenment and infor- mation were usually disappointed, while those who sought entertainment and a good time were not let down. Those interviewed often said the de- bates were a draw, and most thought the media had over-publicized the de- bates' importance. Another common view seemed to be. Ford and Carter didn't change anyone's minds with their debate per- formances, but they reinforced and encouraged their backers' support. Supporters. The people who spend endless hours assembling and posting innumerable yard signs and distribute enough leaflets to make the Iehovah's Witnesses jealous. Kent Students Democrats, Students for Carter, Students for Ford, and the KSU Republican Club spent most of their time going door-to-door, canvass- ing by phone and manning informa- tion tables in the Student Center. Were they successful? We'll know by 1980, unless that vision of America acquires astigmatism at an early age. Depending on who you talk to, Car- ter's victory land the general ascen- sion of Democrats to power in Con- gress and statehousesj was either luck, skill or well politics. But, then again, who's to say what exactly swung the election to the orthodont- ists' dream? The patrons of Ierry's Diner, for one. It was definitely a foulup in those new voting machines, said one customer who seemed to be speaking to his coffee cup more than to me. Whenever they bring in that com- plicated, computerized stuff, accuracy goes right out the door. I asked him how he had reached that conclusion and he started mumbl- ing something about how the same forces that caused the loss of sound in the first debate were responsible for incorrect vote tallying. He was still mumbling when I left. The punch-card voting system. I compared the campaign to a game show earlier, the new voting arrange- ment resembles some sort of Parker Brothers game, for 12 to 14 year olds. Speaking of technological accom- plishments, anyone who watched the in three networks' coverage the election evening land interest in the election was demonstrated by the large num- ber of people who spent the evening glued to the television screeni was probably awed by the fancy equip- ment, lit maps and whatnot that pro- vided a swarm of useless figures and statistics for the braodcasters to ana- lyze, ie. CBS' Dan Rather made this astute statement: There are more Re- publicans than people. The evening wore on and it began to appear that Ford would lose more than his voice. lust after 3 a.m. Carter supporters went to bed when he was announced the winner: and everyone outside of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. breathed a yawn of relief.

When I began covering his administration as a Daily Kent Stater reporter, he often referred to me as his alter ego. And at the beginning of the academic year, no one on campus thought Glenn A. Olds would resign his post two months later. No one thought the university would be rocked by controversy, hints of 102 F ' Uv 1 . f A-. - ,-ff, 1 ' . . . : ij- fir' ' '4 illegalities and scandals. In September, Olds was proceeding with the business of his administration: with tuition, class size and collective bargaining. A philosopher always, Olds had difficulty coming to terms with bureaucratic realities. He was a lover of analogies but a poor judge of human behavior and motivations. His charge in coming to this university was itself a philosophical one: to heal the wounds of May 4, 1970. But could one man turn around the sentiments of an entire era of unrest, distrust and dissidence? It was a charge he somehow carried out. The campus returned to normalcy, and a kind of do not disturb silence settled everywhere. Apathy. people called it. Then Kent State University shot to the headlines again. only this time. Olds' administration was under fire. He denied charges that a doctoral degree had been bought by personal favors and that university resources may have been misused. And those denials were the reason his resignation at a regularly scheduled Board of Trustees' meeting came as such a shock. Olds served as university president for six years. He came to a campus clothed in suspicion and left it that same way. But in between those times, Olds provided KSU with the type of president it needed. A United Nations - --. 0 ,U U 51.21 'Y 3 Ni is -R . , ,xx X . diplomat. A Methodist minister. A man not afraid to talk with students. A public speaker. And above all, a philosopher. After the tragedy of May 4, 1970, the high ideals of a philosopher were desperately needed. And now people talk of having a president whose qualities are bureaucratic ones. An efficient administrator. A person who feels comfortable in dealing with computer output data instead of students. A person who speaks better over the pf telephone than publicly. A person of the times. And Glenn Olds? I don't know what I'm going to do, and I don't really care, he told me. Taking a fully philosophical stance with reality, Olds believes his new niche in society will find himg it will not be the other way around.

Scarfing, Chowing down Much discussed, and usually much ignored in relation to our everyday living is food. Our next meal is often forgotten. or passed over until it demands attention in a variety of ways. Dr. jay Cranston, director of the Health Center, expressed surprise that students get as much nourishment as they do, considering their eating habits. He is quick to add malnutrition is not an element of KSU life. He prefers to call it disnutrition , eating too much of the wrong things. rather than not enough of the right things. Students obtain nutrition from products such as Uspongy American bread which is so enriched it compensates for deficiencies elsewhere. Providing the central chow line for many students are various cafeterias. Designed for apporpriate nutrition, the system falls apart because students choose their own menu. They consider cost or choose foods purely for their taste. Vegetables aren't particularly fascinating to many students, and the balanced meals they consume are too high in carbohydrates and fats and too low in B vitamins. Quite a few journey elsewhere to settle stomach grumblings. A wide array of restaurants exist to satisfy this need. Convenience and cost are important to students, but with few exceptions not much else seems to matter. The Brown Derby, east of town, doesn't look as though it would hold 10-1 much attraction for financially strapped students, but three dollars can be turned into a stomach- stretching marathon at the salad bar. Ierry's Diner looks as though it would dare students to enter. Actually the reverse is true. The mid-40's Hoboken decor is accented by mid- 50's menu prices. Entertainment is often provided by the customers themselves in the form of loud arguments. But aside from the advantages of location and hours, a fiercely loyal student cult has developed around 1erry's. Certain establishments which seem student oriented do well also. Patronizing a vegetarian restaurant often means becoming subject to the harsh stands these places take on the question of health. The Red Radish shares these strong commitments to health, but the atmosphere is far more relaxed, far more friendly, far less snarling. A single sign asks politely that smokers abstain. The only bit of menu politics is an introductory paragraph which expresses concern for feeding an already over-populated world. Beginning with relish trays and tabouli salad, the menu boasts of main dishes fmany rice orientedl with names such as Hoppin john and Staff of Life. They even offer a vegetarian Rueben sandwich. Carob and banana smoothies or fruit mists complete the unique meal which can be enjoyed even by those who are far too carnivorous to become vegetarians. However, Dr. Cranston warns that the routine offerings are simply not complete in protein. The menu variety and provision for dairy products at the Red Radish should ease the nutrition problem there significantly. East of town a bar known as Carson's was once a meeting place for several academic departments in the early '70's. It has become the Tavern, expanded its food offering considerably, and increased its student patronage many-fold. A An attractive happy hour arrangement, interesting menu, agreeable prices and informal atmosphere set it off as a valid location for student gatherings. The Tavern has a certain time-less quality.

With competition causing them to branch out and offer more, quick and cheap has become relative in many cases.

Dr. Cranston is not so quick to condemn. He points to a study conducted recently which found that three meals a day of fast food tburger. fries. shakel is deficient only in vitamin C. Rarely do students eat three of these meals in a day. Often only one trip is made to Burger Chef.

Kent possesses a varied group of bars, each just a little different from the one across the street or across town. And there are parties that can blossom into madness on any given night. Ray's and Walter's open their doors at 8:30 a.m. for breakfast, and don't close until 1:30 a.m. At night business picks up in Ray's, but it still has the feeling someone can come in alone, have a few beers and be left to their own meditations. It's homey, open and brighter than some other bars. One of the bartenders said, lt's not so much a bar bar. There isn't much hustling, it's just a place to come and talk. Walter's is almost an institution. At night it's like sardines in the can, especially weekends. The atmosphere is like Ray's, except noisier and crazier. There's a family feeling where everyone knows everyone else, the jukebox is blaring and the pinball machines are clanging and flashing. The campus has its own bar, the Rathskeller, in the basement of the Student Center. The guy at the door said that a lot of people come down because it's convenient - bad weather means we do good business - they don't have to drive or walk far. Also, the students can purchase pizza or sandwiches with food coupons. As a matter of fact, he said, a lot of people come down just to eat. Like the Rathskeller, the Loft has pizza and beer. Downstairs can be found the pizza, and upstairs, the i.d. checker says, lots of lonely, frustrated people can be found among the crowd. Somewhere along the way the Loft got the reputation as a hustle bar, and inside are booths full of girls, booths full of guys. guys cruising slowly, and a few new couples appearing out of the shadows. The beat of the jukebox is steady. The Townhouse and Deck are only three blocks from campus. The Townhouse is spacious with two levels. On the top level a square bar xiii, iii! leads to, according to the bartender, a lot of, Hey, buy the guy across from me a drink. The Deck, next door and below, shares a common atmosphere.

Brit- annica describes sleep as a condition of rest during which there is a renew- al of energy that has been expended in the hours of wakefulness. Last Monday I began to study the sleeping habits of KSU students. I fo- cused my study on where they slept. I asked friends and acquaintances. What kind of bed do you have? Would you like to see it? my friends answered. I explained that I was working on a story about sleeping and what else occurs in or on beds. I intended to study the person's bed in the context of his room and personal habits. My correspondents gained interest. Sure, I would be glad to show you my bed. but it's not unusual. . ll P 99 I continued to probe. Did your .andlord supply it? Is it borrowed? Is .s big? Small? As I explained to Scott Wolf. the resident advisor on the ninth floor of Koonce I-Iall, I was looking for beds which are typically unique. Where io KSU students sleep? lNhen? With whom? As I expected, Scott has an uncom- nonly neat room. His bedroom is so small that he has folded the legs of his Jed under and put the bed and springs on the floor to save space. Leebrick rooms are so confining that several residents have built lofts to riold their mattresses so they have more room to move about. Clark Hall residents Duff Lind, Nick Dragash, Reid Lewis and Tom Durst were not satisfied with their uniform bunk beds. They set up criss-cross af- fairs with their beds to make better use of available space. When I walked through Manchester in search of unique beds I found much the same approach. Students need more room. Mark Iudy and Scott Anderson rearranged dorm furniture to suit their own needs and person- alities. They rested one end of the upper bunk on a dresser and sat a desk and lamp underneath. Down the hall Paul Shinkle raised his bed off the ground by placing rocks under the legs. Even if the bed is supplied, the stu- dents must furnish sheets, blankets and bedspreads. When Mark Midei moved from the dorm to Glen Morris he had to buy all new sheets to lit the extra-long beds. Some students solve the dilema by sleeping on the floor. Dan Goldfarb says only one person in his house sleeps in a bed. I-Ie said sleeping on the floor is comfortable and cheap. Xifhen I asked if he could afford a bed. he said, I can't afford to go to school. but I'm doing it. Snuggling with her monkey.

However, it is important to consider that we spend about one third of our lives sleeping. We must sleep whether we have a bed or not. Students fall asleep in many places. My family has always insisted eight hours of sleep are necessary to function efficiently. Apparently some of the people in my classes aren't getting their eight hours. They nod off during lectures or catch a few winks in the hall between classes. They could probably benefit more from an hour of sleep than some of these lecture courses. The sleeping habits of KSU students are not much different from those of most other college students. Some still sleep with teddy bears or stuffed animals. Most like to stay up late and sleep late. ln the middle of my last all-nighter l wondered if college students were the only ones awake at that hour. Then I remembered that many businesses op- erate around the clock with night shift employees. One of the most difficult adjustments for some college students is sharing their room. Not only must they share the bathroom with more people than ever before, they have between one and three roommates to fight with over lights out. And of course, college is often seen as a time of loose morals and open sex. While l haven't seen any loose morals or open sex, I do know many students sleep with a member of the opposite sex for the first time at college. The opportunity is there. When it's late, and roommates aren't home or his bed is closer land it's 90 outsidej they naturally sleep where it's most convenient. There aren't as many one night stands as I expected. Most sleeping arrangements evolve from long term relationships. The majority of students have been influenced in some way by their parents' morals. Living together is not as much in style as it was, although there are two distinct attitudes tsometimes l think divided between males and femalesj. Marriage relationships are viewed more seriously than in the past. Before marrying, students want to know all about their future mate - to see if he will be a good or bad roommate or next to impossible to live with. After all, the only way to change roommates is divorce. KSU is quite conducive to shared sleeping arrangements. Every dorm began the year with 24 hour visitation on weekends, and some have 24 hours visitation on weekdays. Of course, most off-campus students can impose their own visitation rules. The only losers in the sleeping game are those who live at home, tbut they can date someone who doesn'tl. Apparently, some of my classmates aren't getting their eight hours.

Occasionally her fingers moved towards the soft, grey keys, commanding the green-letter screen to cough up more information. Other than that her body was motionless. her eyes glued to the magnificent purveyor of what was pertinent to her at that moment. She was oblivious to the hubbub of activity surrounding her and unaware of the line of angry eyes glaring at her and waiting to experience her obvious delight. This scene is from the KSU library where students now have the assistance of a computer terminal to find books, whether they are in the KSU library or libraries across the country. lt's remarkable how students will sit and play with the computer for hours. They are just fascinated with it. But we have many complaints that students take too much time at the terminal. We should get more, said a library reference aid. But the computer terminal is just one indication of how totally involved modern students' intimate relationship with the wonders of electronic media has become. 'l 16 KSU incorporates computer registration, computer library book finding terminals and programs in electronic music composition. Perhaps the most obvious indication of our fondness for the nature of electronic media is the rising trend of movie, tv and music buffs. According to KSU sociology professor Dr. jerry Lewis, the area of northeast Ohio has the highest concentration of movies in the country, both tv and theatre. And KSU is right on the mark with Tuesday, Thursday and weekend cinemas year round. Movies are big around here, said a spokesman for All Campus Programming Board. And it really dosen't seem to matter what the movie is, people will come. I think some of them just go to movies to be going to movies. ln a 1973 sutdy, Dr. Lewis questioned 2.3 percent of KSU students about why they attend movies. When asked if they went for entertainment, about 88 percent said yes. Nearly 75 percent said they did not go for relaxation. Only 7 percent said they watch movies to escape from reality. While students enjoy hours of movies, they don't relax or escape the realities of their everyday lives - perhaps this is because film media has become only an extension of their everyday lives. Possibly the greatest indication of the role of media in our lives comes from television, instant entertainment. A flick of the switch and the message is there. The President of the United States is in your dorm room. Scarlet O'l-Iara and Rhett Butler are racing through flame-swept Atlanta and the word for tomorrow is sunny and warm. If a lot of students are in the movies, more are glued to tv screens across campus. A random sampling of 60 KSU students shows that the majority watch tv, information and entertainment splitting as the boob tube's drawing card. In the straw poll, 48 said they watch tv. Of the 45 who turn on, 27 said they tune in regularly. Twenty-tive said they do so as an informational source to catch the 5 or 11 o'clock news or documentaries. The others said their reason for idiot box watching was relaxation and entertainment. Remarkably, 42 of the 60 do not regularly read newspapers except for the Daily Kent Stater and only a few more read weekly news magazines. Students explain. I only watch for good programming and specials. TV gets news so much faster than newspapers. By the time you see it in a newspaper, it's old news.

Are students learning as much in classes as they are from the lyrics of rock music? Music involvement becomes more popular every year in the campus community.

Written by Gene Harbrecht Photography Thom Warren lltl Religion Worshipping, Studying, Living Students bring much more to Kent than furniture, plants and sentimental knickknacks. They bring their philosophies and beliefs. They bring themselves - what they have become after 18 or so years of influence by family and friends. For many students, religion has been a heavy influence. Some bring their faith with them and look for ways to practice and share it. Some find their religion here for the first time with the guidance of new friends, Still others may change their religion after long, personal searching. However it happens, God is still very important to many people at KSU. Students find different ways of expressing their faith. One junior at KSU takes advantage of the services provided by Newman Center. After 12 years of religious education at Catholic schools she said it feels quite natural to go to church every week. When Newman Center asked for volunteers to teach Sunday School she did. It is hard to explain religious concepts to young children, she said. Patti Bukovan shares her faith with others through Campus Crusade. This on-campus organization is geared to helping others find Christ. There are Bible Studies where I go to meet with other believers, she said. Besides reading the Bible, talking about problems and life, we are taught how to share our faith with others. Her faith was not very important to her as she grew up even though her family was strictly Roman Catholic. In her sophomore year at KSU a friend showed her the way, she said. After years of being Iewish, Linda Goodman said she felt something missing. She read, and studied. and finally prayed to see the truth. Q' ik... 11 Now she has accepted Christ as her personal savior. She calls herself a Completed lew. The modern Iew says the Messiah has not come because there is still war and pestilence, she said. As a Completed jew I feel that Christ has shown himself. The first coming was to prepare us for the second coming. That is the difference, she said. l am still Iewish. For Linda Goodman her own individual feelings are most important. Ted Lebowitz is a Iew concerned with keeping religion on a personal basis. Ted, a sophomore, said religion has become mass produced and intitutionalized. He talked about prayer as a chance to say to Cod what I feel and get feeling back. He spoke of being able to feel the Sabbath. to experience its specialness. Instead of doing school work he'll relax or do something special for the Sabbath. Usually he prays alone and plays his guitar. On occasion he has played his guitar at Hillel. but generally he prefers to have his own private service. These students. like others at KSU. are actively living their faith. Some participate with large numbers of people, others practice their religion in solitude. What is most important is that Cod is important to many people at KSC llll The C-ideons are a familiar sight on campus. passing out pocket-sized New Testaments to anyone who wants one.

In vogue with the changing identity of women in the 1970's, women's basketball is experiencing a slow face lift at KSU as well as across the nation. KSU women's basketball coach Iudy Devine said public acceptance for the sport has certainly changed. lt is not so shameful now for girls to play sports in their own back yard, said the seven year veteran coach. We are at the ground stage now, said Devine. Attendance is increasing and the skill level of the players, as compared to players live years ago, is tremendous. There has been an increase in the opportunity to play basketball and there are better coaches, Devine said. The players are earning respect. Other universities have better facilities and offer scholarships. Although KSU is not a sports oriented school, the over-all athletic program has improved in the last three years. The team has gotten new uniforms and warm-ups, and a new facility is planned. The quality of athletes and coaches is improving, too. The women are playing in Memorial Gym and getting more publicity because of Title IX. With the added publicity the crowds are picking up. It used to be nobody tat KSUJ looked up to us, said co-captain Molly McKeown. People are looking up to us now as our record is improving. Two-thirds of the way through the season, their record was 7-4. We have come a long ways from winning 5 or 6 games last year, said assistant coach Laurel Wartluft. The women work harder because there is more prestige today. McKeown said the game is a lot tougher and much faster. And there are more fastbreaks, said co-captain Sue Iacobs. Since basketball is being pushed in the high schools, more talented players are being recruited for college teams. The play is more aggressive because the players are beginning to condition more, explained second year varsity trainer Debbie Cochrane. Women's basketball is changing since its addition in the Olympics and the attempt to start professional teams. It is one of the fastest growing sports, said Wartluft. Society doesn't look down on girls in sports anymore. However, Coach Devine said, The competition will never reach the scope of the men's because they are physically stronger. My goal as assistant athletic director is to get the Women's teams at KSU extremely competitive in the state, she said.

VM About 150 people braved the bitter cold Ian. 17 to attend In Pursuit of a Dream, the commemoration service sponsored by Black United Students QBUSJ to honor Martin Luther King Ir., the slain civil rights leader. Melvin North, BUS president, gave the opening remarks: Let us remember that Martin Luther King Ir. died in pursuit of a dream. He urged the audience to work to fulfill King's dream that all men, regardless of race, creed or color can and someday will live together in harmony. The tone North set was carried by the music of the Kent Gospel Choir, soloist Iohn Madgett and the words of guest speakers Evelyn Iackson of the Institute for African-American Affairs, the Rev. Donald Shilling of United Christian Ministries and the Rev. Darryl Smaw of the Cleveland Antioch Baptist Church. Iackson read King's I Have a Dream speech to the audience and 136 King Memorial l commented, We are gathered today to hope and pray that one day Martin Luther King's dream will come true. A student afterward said she had never heard the famous speech, delivered on the steps of Lincoln Memorial during King's famous freedom march to Washington, in its entirety. She said, When Martin Luther King was around I was young and not aware of what real blackness was or the plight of our people. In many ways he was the leader of us all, Rev. Shilling said, We honored him greatly, we followed him, we marched with him and prayed for him. Shilling hailed King as the apostle of non-vio1ence and quoted a King sermon, We must combine the strength of a serpent with the softness of a dove, we must have courage as hard as a rock, and hearts as soft. Rev. Smaw attacked systematic discrimination by local, state and federal governments and said black people in America must assume the leadership role to assist all minorities. Knowledge is the key to freedom, Rev. Smaw said, and to respond to the challenge requires a stronger self- image, knowledge of yesterday and today, knowledge of those whose lives were touched by King and a recognition of the urgency of the situation. Vanessa Henry, KSU student, said, We have a lot to gain attending cultural programs like this. l'm hoping students at KSU will wake up and understand their apathy isn't good for anyone. The program's impact sparked my memory of what King was struggling for, said Steve Iackson, KSU sophomore, It reminded me of him and our heritage. Young blacks of today are the foundation for taking off and building on what King advocated, Iackson said, That was the main purpose of this program, to remember King's goal. The memorial service was part of a two-part program. After the service, many of the participants went to the Center for Pan-African Culture for a spaghetti dinner and a poetry reading by Mwatabu Okantah and the Many Tongues of Ptah. One student commented, I think the second part was as enjoyable as the first. It gave us a chance to get together and talk about King, have dinner and meet with the speakers.

The Tenth Annual Folk Festival be- gan Feb. 18 at noon with workshops in the Student Center. Started in 1967 in a local tnow defunctj coffeehouse by what was then the Student Activities Board, the festival has since moved on campus. Local folks are spotlighted along with well-known folk singers. Nine acts, sponsored hy All Campus Programming Board, entertained ca- pacity crowds in University Audito- rium Friday and Saturday nights. Al McKinney, veteran storyteller and master of ceremonies, said in esti- mation of the number of bodies, the fire marshal is tearin' his hair out over this. People were everywhere. When all the seats were taken, choice floor space was appropriated. Everyone got friendly, shifting positions in unison, passing hrown-hagged bottles and heer cans, telling stories of other festi- vals, singing, clapping and often danc- ing within two feet of space, lfertoriners scurried in and out the tiailx stage door.

Vladimir Simunek KSU Controversy The Kent Model is the largest forecasting system in the world. ln the Akron Beacon journal on Oct 3, 1976 lean Peters, Beacon journal Education Writer, alleged that A Bea- con Iournal investigation has uncov- ered: tBusiness College Dean Gailj Mullin and five business college facul- ty members founded a private, profit- making corporation, Kent Econo- metrics Associates Inc. QKEAJ, to mar- ket a computer program developed at the university. Virutally all of KEA's development costs were paid for by the university. 1-10 ,f 4 by li Q- l 9, ii r Q if t -4 4 T M .r f 5 af - - D A' The computer program, known a as the Kent Model, was devised in 1971 by economics professor Dr. Vladimir Simunek. The model uses a series of mathematical forumlas to predict trends in the U.S. economy. On Monday, Oct 4, Simunek refused to comment on the specifics of the Beacon's allegations, but faccording to The Daily Kent Staterl said the article was a pack of lies. Development of the Kent Model led to the formation of KEA - with Simunek, Mullin and other professors as shareholders. KEA founders envisioned high profits for themselves from sales to industry, business and financial in- stitutions of predictions made by the model, according to the Oct. 3 Beacon Iournal story. KSU was also to share in the profits, the story continued, but virtually no profits were realized. During its three- year existence the corporation cost the university more than S100,000, accord- ing to the Beacon journal. Lowell Heinke, assistant state at- torney general, stated in a letter to President Glenn A. Olds, I have found no evidence at all that indicates to me there was ever any misuse of university funds for the benefits of KEA. Olds had sought a legal opinion in 1973 when conflict of interest was first suggested. A major controversy is what re- search was done twith the use of uni- versity funds and facilitiesj for the benefit of the university and what was done for the profit-seeking motives of KEA. Olds told the Stater in an interview Oct. 15 that he felt Simunek's in- tention was to use any KEA profits to reinforce his research. He hoped Kent State would become a major place of economic modeling and de- veloping, Olds said. For three years, while the system was being widely promoted for sale, it never really worked, the Beacon journal story alleged. Simunek said Oct. 22 the allegation that the Kent Model never really worked is not true. He explained in his second of a series of three semi- nars tdesigned to explain the model to the universityj that an experimental part of the model, KEAI, has not al- ways worked. KEAl, the computer program which makes the actual predictions, some- times come out, and sometimes doesn't come out, according to Sim- unek. But the model has always Worked. It can predict economic trends, he said. The Kent Model is the largest fore- Questioned recently about the validity of his model, Dr. Vladimir Simunek, economics profes- sor, said the model has always worked. It can predict economic trends foppositej, Questions have also been raised about a pos- sible conflict of interest stemming from his membership in KEA, the former marketing agency for the Kent Model tbottomj. Written by Cindy Ficke. Photography. Iohn Carten casting system in the world, Simunek told the audience of about 40 people, including business faculty members, research and computer center direc- tors. The second annual economic pre- dition made by the Kent Model was presented in a 31-page report during the week of jan. 2, 1977. The forecast called for a slow, staggering recov- ery. ' Simunek said that the first forecast. which was computed in 1976, has proved to be very accurate. He said the predictions prove that the model does work. The newspaper allegations have damaged the reputation of the model and myself and the reputation of the university, Simunek said, according to an article in the Stater Ian. 5. Econometric experts were expected to be chosen April 31 to evaluate the model. McGraw-Hill Book Co. was in- vestigating the model in january. McGraw-Hill had the option to buy the model. The model was being marketed in january by the Concept Development Institute QCDIJ under the direction of the KSU Foundation. CDI absorbed a s50,ooo debt incurred by the Founda- tion in the model's development. A private corporation which solicits funds from the private sector for uni- versity programs, the KSU Founda- tion, was granted exclusive marketing rights to the model by the Board of Trustees in March, 1976 when KEA was dissolved. The major thing we proved, said CDI Chairperson Burton D. Morgan, was that the model works and Sim- unek is not a fraud. One KSU student wrote to the edi- tor of the Stater to say that he had observed Dr. Simunek working hard on the model almost every night. For the benefit of the KSU faculty, stu- dents and Dr. Simunek give him a chance to perfect it, wrote Kirk Wachowicz, Nov. 12, 1976. 141 Profs in the Classroom Between the time you enter college and the time you graduate, unless of course you are acutely truant, you will run into a person known as the Prof. The Prof will invariably have some sort of effect on your life. lt's like playing chess with someone you have never seen before. It's impossible to know who is going to win the game, but usually by the end you know your opponent pretty well. Four years of chess is enough experience to give even dullards a talent for judging personalities. The similarities among members of 1-12 the departments often gives these departments images or stereotypes. These character sketches are in no way intended to portray anyone living or dead, rather view them in this light: I made them up. Type A Type A can be found in almost any department. He is what is known as a universal prof. He is the strict authoritarian gentleman from the old school. He is easy to spot because he is always wearing a bow tie. Most of these types were good friends at one time with the school's founders. Many a statement made by these fellows is followed by phrases like and I've been teaching for 25 years who's gonna argue with that? No .wonder the guy is nuts. They also like to say, I have tenure, you know. Type B is the guy I call the Type B groove. The groove is always a young with a Ph.D. in something artsy. These types smoke Ovals, smile dramatically at person liberal English the class and arrange seating charts with all the women sitting in or near the front speaks, all row. When the groove who are enlightened will bask in the warmth of his knowledge. But then again there is always that the back drooling on his student in desk top. This flagrant display of indifference looms large in the fears of the groove. His response is usually a quote from Bartlett's or People magazine. He is under the illusion of teaching a class. Type C With maybe a rare exception here and there, Poindexter is always found in some kind of science department. His glasses are thick, people are constantly asking him if he just got up and he can't figure out why The Ed Sullivan Show isn't on anymore. After all, everyone watched it. The most interesting thing about Poindexter is the comical inrony which pervades his existence. On the one hand he understands on a very profound level the innerworkings of thermo-nuclear physics and yet he could not raise the shade or focus the overhead projector to save his life. He scratches his head and says hmmm a lot. Type D The noveau prof dresses down. He can usually be found in an art or music department. Some would call him a slob. But at least he is a sincere slob. The noveau prof has put a lot of thought into those raggedy garments. This guy is years ahead of tenure paranoia. He always sits on the desk rather than behind it. It is more than likely that he voted for Hunter Thompson in the last election and has been known to begin classes with the statement, What day is this? Type E If you do not know what a I- teacher is, go to Taylor Hall. Wrinkled clothes are a sure sign. Something about their job wrinkles the cloth. Nicotine stains extend from the linger tips to about the elbow and he ingests coffee at an incredible rate, volume and speed. Checking those skinny ties will tell you what happens to old typewriter ribbons. Smoking, swearing or spitting in class by this prof indicates he is normal, natural and at home in his job. Most aspire to the professional accomplishments of William F. Buckley. But all would jump at the chance for a job at Hustler. Type F The bore is by far the most dreaded of all these types. Some exist in every department. He is the guy whose lectures are dryer than the Sahara. He revels in his own monotone and knows how to use it to keep the class from passing an otherwise cake course. For example, the master of the mundane will drone on for a good 45 minutes covering the most obscure insignificant aspects of the material and after he has lulled the masses into a comatose stupor he will whip off the seven key points essential to passing the linal. Another technique used by the bore is turning the furnace up to 80 degrees and scheduling his classes so that they are almost always after lunch. Mumbling is common among bores. The ends of all his sentences somehow manage to drift into outer space, or come out in Chinese. e.g. Now I think it especially important for you to note, especially at this time that in chapter seven we have a forlasnza grunt portablashnopps. Furthermore . . . And so it goes. Now that l've taken so much space writing about lousy profs I feel it only fair that I give some ink to the people who do a good job. These are the profs who 1. know the material 2. are enthusiastic about presenting it and 3. have a sense of humor. This is the prof that no matter how many people are in the class, at the end of the quarter you feel like you know him personally. These are the profs who inject a little of their own personality into their work. They don't hide behind the sterile image of University Representative. Their classes are enjoyable, educational positive experiences. One sign of a good prof is a class other prof where you get to know the people in the class. A good always brings the class together on a personal level. These people are the ones make education worthwhile. will be the ones remembered in years to come, and rightly so. It is these people who have to put up with as much baloney or more than we do and still come out smiling. I hope they realize it's much appreciated. who They X - l in ., 'll - W I nl I I f if F-- I ' I I i I I I as i . - .S 'X V ? .A , ti Q , I 5 1 it sf.- 41, Q 6 R9 g I . H ki.

All four areas have as their base Researching energy problems using math and computers, Dr. Richard Varga is currently look- ing for more efficient methods to get oil from the ground fleftj. On the blackboard in his office, Dr. Varga. math professor, outlines the four areas of re- search he is investigating fopposite. top leftl. Often his research is completed at home top- posite, bottom rightj. Written by Mariann Hofer, Photography Frank Zizzo how math is used with computers, Dr. Varga said. He explained the four areas of re- search as: linear algebra, iterative methods, which deals with solutions of large systems of equations titerative is defined as repeatingj, applications to petroleum problems and appli- cations to nuclear reactors. He has two grants, one from the Air Force to research Use of Varational and Pro- jectional Methods in Numerical Anal- ysis, and another from the Energy Research and Development Associ- ation IERDAJ for research in Numer- ical Method for Problems on Environ- mental Effects on Aerospace Ve- hicles. Dr. Varga received his Ph.D. from Harvard and worked for West- inghouse in Pittsburgh, Pa. for six years until 1960. While at West- inghouse he worked on the design of nuclear reactors. He has been a con- sultant to Gulf Oil in Pittsburgh for 15 years, and was involved in the math model for the Nautilus nuclear subma- rine series. The model he worked on was put into use on the second sub- marine in the Nautilus series. In math research, it's possible to travel a great deal, Dr. Varga said. He had just returned from guest lecturing at Yale. In December 1976 he attended an International Congress of Math- ematics in Tampa, Fla. Smiling, he explained the choice of Tampa by saying, It was planned by a friend and I. The choice was between Cleve- land and Tampa, and in December where would we rather be? Ninety people attended including 22 from Eu- rope. Dr. Varga has also travelled to Si- beria, He has a friend, Academician Curi Marchuk, who lives in Academia City, which is near Novosibirsk. Novo- sibirsk, he said, is exactly half way around the world, and takes 12 hours to reach. Marchuk has also been to KSU recently. Dr. Varga said he plans to go back to Siberia to visit him soon. KSU students are actively involved with Dr. Varga and his research. Cur- rently, he has two students working for himg Arden Ruttan, a senior, and Lala Krishna, who is originally from India. All together he has had 16 Ph.D. students working with him at one time or another. KSU benefits from these research grants because with the 816,000 grant from the Air Force, and the 545,000 grant from ERDA, contracts for work come in and provide money for speak- ers and visitors to the university. This is how Academician Marchuk was sponsored, along with several other visitors and speakers, who were brought in for the benefit of the math department. Dr. Varga explained how his work in the petroleum Held would benefit the world. At the moment he is work- ing on more efficient methods to get oil from the ground. He is working on a comubstion theory and third level method. The third level method is put into use when there is 30921 or less of an oil reservoir left below the ground. lt usually wasn't used when oil was S2 a barrel, due to cost feasability, but with the price rising to S12 to S14 a barrel, it is being considered more of- ten. It consists of injecting chemicals into the reservoir to reduce surface tension, and thereby enable the oil to be drawn up. The economics of using this action on a well can be worked out on a computer, which is the center of Dr. Varga's interest. He and a for- mer Phd student are working on this in conjunction with the 13 major oil companies, who are contributing mon- ey and information. Along with his research he is in- volved with a seminar and class at KSU for which he wrote the text. In his spare moments, to take a break from math and computers, he indulges himself in his hobbies, photography and working on his car. 147 Bill Patton Researching 41, 2'-V Redesign of Teacher I ll Cost Benelit Ratio for K .

Photography, This page: Bill lewis Opposite page: Lynne Sladky, lop left Greg Lewis, top right The State of Ohio has redesigned the teacher education program so that education students will have a minimum contact of 300 hours with school age children before they start student teaching. Under the current program many education students have no experience with children until they begin their student teaching. Like most major program changes this renovation will cost more money. just how much is the subject of Assistant Professor Bill Patton's research. Patton submitted a proposal to the state to look at the cost of training teachers under the new plan. The official title of his research is Cost Benefit Analysis Study of the Redesign of Teacher Education. The State of Ohio granted him 59,000 for this project. Patton says the new plan will require the extra costs of professors and transportation of education students to schools. The project is designed to compare the current method of teacher- education with the proposed method and translate it into a cost per student - the cost to train a single student in elementary education over four years. said Patton. We compare we these two figures and come up with a cost benefit ratio. Patton does all of his research by computer, feeding data in and going over reams of computer print-out sheets in his office. He has no student assistants on his six month project. It's exclusively the fruits of my labors. said Patton. Part of Patton's research grant will pay for the design of a new computer program for the College of Education which will be used as the base for the college's budget. The dean of the college will be able to more accurately figure costs with the new program. said Patton. When Patton finishes his research in Iune he hopes his findings will identify the critical aspects of teacher training from the financial point of view. He added that there has been a limited amount of research in this area. His project proposal was one of 36 proposals to receive funding from the S1 million allocated for educational research. This money was available to all of the 51 educational institutions in Ohio, of which Kent is the second largest. Patton has spent most of his life in the state of Washington and attended the University of Washington as both an undergraduate and a graduate student. He received his doctorate in elementary education from the University in 1973, then came to KSU as an assistant professor. He said his duties are currently 5096 administrative. He is the Co-ordinator of Project and Proposal Development for Elementary Education. In other words, I get money for the college, he said. Patton also teaches Evaluation in the Elementary School , an elementary education course. 149 Dr. Randy Brown ., Q x . mesearthzng i 's 'L ,J The Sharing Problem. a real-life story problem Science is exploration and in- 'sstigatioriz Randy Brown is a scien- tist.

HUD did not need to use the al- gorithm, but in 1975 the city of Akron asked Brown for help in budgeting its Department of Parks and Recreation. A model was being used. but it was not correct. Amazingly said Brown. the right one turned out to be the Sharing Prob- lem. I changed a program and ran it and it worked. Taking into account what jobs are necessary to park maintenance and the price of equipment and workers. Brown used the model to determine the cost of maintaining one park for a year. On the basis of that information. Akron City Council voted not to build a new park in 1975. Brown continued to refine the al- gorithm. and in early 1976 he helped implement a work schedule in one of Akron's three park districts. The schedule included a record of what equipment and workers were avail- able and what work was accom- plished. Then Akrons technology agent sen' a proposal to HUD for an Inno'.'ati'.'e Projects Grant. Out of an initial 175 applicants and 250 letters of intent. only 11 projects were funded.

Written by Eileen Luhta. Photography. This page lee Stenger Opposite page: Dave Anderson A research project, using videotape in the courtroom to reduce trial delays, is being studied by Dr. Carl M. Moore, associate Professor in the School of Speech at KSU. Dr. Moore has been awarded a grant of 350,154 by the Administration of justice Division of the Ohio Department of Economic and Community Development. The purpose of the project, according to Dr. Moore, is to determine whether videotape technology can be utilized to help Ohio courts reduce trial delay. Ohio is the first state to use videotape to record testimony, Dr. Moore said. He added that other states don't use this system because the legal community is conservative and resistant to change. Dr. Moore, who specializes in speech argumentation at KSU, is also Research Associate of the Center for Urban Regionalism and Environmental Systems. He said the goals of his research are to train judicial personnel on the use of videotape equipment, examine the different ways used to get testimony, recommend court rules on recording procedures and to certify standards glllllll' Q5 - , for videotape equipment operators. Moore said the videotape can make good use of a witness' time, situate him in a relaxed atmosphere and delete unnecessary testimony that might sway a jury. Assisting Dr. Moore in reaching these goals are three KSU students. The program coordinator, Bruce Landis, is a doctoral candidate in speech. The research assistants are Allen Bukoff, doctoral candidate in psychology and Richard Klein, doctoral candidate in educational media. Dr. Moore said a task force, serving in an advisory capacity, will also be included in the research. Serving on the task force is Clyde Hendrick, professor of psychology at KSU, an appeals judge and a practicing attorney. Moore said his research will service society at large. He added, The project will affect KSU by bringing money in for KSU and by training graduate assistants in this new era. Moore said, This research addresses more real problems than just studies and applies the research. The result of videotape use in Ohio will determine its use in the legal systems throughout the country, Moore added. gif' gb' 153 Professing the Future What will be the new primary energy form? lik-Q 0 I Dr. Benjamin A. Foote Professor Biology I would say that in the near future. about 10 years. we will probably be using solar power. After that in about 20 years I think we will be reaching the availability of fusion. Fusion is a controlled hydrogen bomb. However. we do not have the technological capacity to use it yet. Scientists are predicting its availability in 20 to 30 years. Immediately we are stuck with the fossil fuels and with fission. nuclear power. Ultimately I think we will turn to fusion because it is an unlimited source of non-polluting energy. ?'h. .iqr3phx lim ilerigei' l 34 Dr. Raymond R. Myers Chairman, Professor Chemistry Fossil fuels will continue to be the dominant energy form until the end of this century. They will be rationed in order to achieve equitable distribution and to assure that supplies will last until alternate sources can be developed. Meanwhile the increased use of solar energy will progress from direct heating to indirect forms such as wind power and photosynthesis. It is only a matter of time until the acreage needed for solar farms will also become a limiting factor. Satellite solar installations will alleviate some of the pressure on real estate, but their use will be limited by their cost. In short, there is no way of escaping mandated conservation measures. Only when energy needs can be met by solar energy will there be a stable condition. Nuclear energy provides only a stopgap solution. but one which will impinge on the lives of all of us for the remainder of this century. Photography Chuck Hu mel T Glenn W. Frank Professor Geology Renewable energy resources such as solar, wind, tidal and water power may be important locally. but they will not supplant the continued use of the nonrenewable fuels. The psychological and technological problems with nuclear fuel will relegate it to minimal use. We will continue to find new petroleum and gas reserves in the world: however, the easily recoverable deposits have been found. and new supplies will be more costly to extract and deliver. Coal burned directly or through its conversion to gas will become the major source of energy in the next thirty years. Although technology will improve efficiency in the conversion of all fuels to energy as well as in the transmission and use of energy, the abundant, non-polluting. inexpensive energy resources are a thing of the past. Difficult choices and compromise will be required to balance the important questions of environment and personal energy demands. Even the most dogmatic environmentalist expects the light to go on when the switch is turned. Photography loe Stenger How will the Bicentennial . be remembered? Dr. Iames W. Dickoff Chairman, Professor Philosophy How the Bicentennial will be remembered is determined by what the future brings. Who would have thought that the bright promise of the sixties would be remembered with such sorrow. The Centennial occurred in the Gilded age in 1987. The Bicentennial came swift upon the heels of Watergate. It seems we have passed from a Gilded age to a crass age. What struck me about the Bicentennial was its low key. What we would have hoped would be a glorious reaffirmation has simply become, in the way it was handled, an occasion for small town patriotism. Photography. Bob Huddleston Dr. Richard W. Taylor Chairperson, Professor Political Science The Bicentennial will be remembered as well as the Centennial of 1876 was. One good reason is that Republics are not hospitable to celebrations of this formg another is that the American public is fed up with the pious political shows, as they have been disenchanted with the behavior of the politicians. Elected officials and political parties might well take the voter turn-out in 1976 to heart. Ph t graphy Chuck Hu l Dr. Ierry M. Lewis Associate Professor Sociology Most Americans took part in the Bicentennial in their local neighborhoods and towns. Parades. festivals and ceremonies created a sense of community that surprised many people. I believe that this feeling of warmth for one's neighborhoods and friends will be remembered long after the particular events of the Bicentennial are forgotten.

Morbito Director, Professor Architecture and Environmental Design In spite of the tremendous expenditure of money as well as thought that has been devoted to planning, the results have been mediocre. This is due to the urban centers' inability to cope with transportation, air contamination, sanitation and water supply. Photography Huh Huddleston 156 ai Henry Leonard Assistant Professor History Our urban centers will obviously survive and, though I may be naive, I think that many of them will prosper. Sunbelt cities, such as those in the southwest, will of course have the fewest difficulties. But even the financially and socially troubled, aging urban centers of the middle West and Northeast are beginning to grapple with their problems, even if in a painfully slow fashion. Most of them are finally waking up to financial realities, they are attempting to stabilize neighborhoods, which have usually been of great importance in making urban life civilized: and they are trying, with varying degrees of success, to keep the middle class in the cities and to entice back those who have left. Although enormous problems remain, we must not forget that most cities are exciting places to live, in the best sense of the term. Photography Ioe Stenger Dr. john I. Gargan Associate Professor Political Science Research Associate Center for Urban Regionalism and Environmental Systems Overall, I am pessimistic about the direction in which I see our urban centers moving. For at least the immediate future, the watchwords of urban America are going to be fiscal conservatism, no growth and limited social policy innovation. The relevance of the watchwords for any given urban center will depend upon its age, geographic location and economic health. Life in the younger, economically expanding cities of the South and West will be better than life in the older, economically declining cities of the Northeast and Midwest. The fate of the cities is dependent upon sets of forces that are, for all practical purposes, beyond the control of urban public officials: such things as energy availability, the state of the national economy and decisions made in the private sector. If these new problems become the major concerns of the cities, certain segments of the society - the poor, the old, the have-nots - will disproportionately bear the costs. For this reason, I am pessimistic. Hopefully I am wrong in my HSSESSTTIETIL Photography. loe Stenger What do you foresee in the art world as far as trends, location and accessibility? Ralph Harley Assistant Professor Art Photography as an expressive me- dium has emerged in recent years with the works of serious amateurs and professionals increasingly acces- sible through galleries and museums around the world. In the United States aggressive pho- tographic activity is expected to con- tinue on both coasts over the next decade. The straight school represented by Stieglitz, Weston and Adams and the experimentalists lead by Calla- han and Siskind are being reconsi- dered. College trained photographers in- creasingly dominating the field will establish the major trends over the next 25 years. Photo mechanical, elec- tronic and polaroid derived images should substantially influence their work. Availability of the computer for the serious amateur promises to revolu- tionize the world of color photogra- phy. Photography. Thom Warren joseph B. O'Sickey Professor Art Artists are doing what artists shouldn't be doing. They are selling out for economic reasons. They are allowing themselves to be exploited. Art is being sold and promoted like pop records. Artists in New York, in the lofts, are intimidated by the rising cost of exis- tence in New York. In every area of art there are bad points which often reflect onto the good areas. Films and painting are being exploited. Galleries and museums are suffering - support, public and private, is lack- ing. Even the larger galleries and mu- seums, which have grants and endow- ments, are in economic danger. Art does have a future, even though the promoters are taking money any way they can, artists are creating sellable products, and films and the- ater are being exploited. Dance, espe- cially, is getting better than ever. What the future is, is hard to say, because the artist creates the art, the product. Photography. Thom Warren Vance George Assistant Professor Music Woicej Art in the 70s seems to be of many kinds and is available to everyone. In the 60s it was shifting from the professional world to the university. Now it seems art centers, univer- sities, old theaters, anything that will hold an audience, there you find per- formances. For instance, in Playhouse Square we have a surprise - free theater. Actors are being paid from the con- cessions and theater is available to anyone in Cleveland. Iames Levine, who was formerly in an academic position in Cleveland, is now the director of the Metropolitan opera. In the future it's possible that there will be a synthesis of the many styles today that range from pop to art mu- sic, a synthesis that will be considered THE music of the 21st century. This synthesis will be one style not the tremendous number of musics we have today.

Last Spring 2,628 people partici- pated regularly in intramural softball. Many more substituted, refereed and kept score. One of the most popular intramural sports is basketball. We always have more sign-ups than we can handle, said Dave Straub, IM director. Twenty-six leagues, with live teams competing in each, filled Memorial and University School gyms on Sun- day, Monday, Tuesday and Thursday nights winter quarter. Participation is free, except in bowl- ing and hockey because the lanes and ice must be rented. Student government allocates mon- ey to intramurals which is used to pay and train referees, buy equipment and pay the staff. Intramurals is a division of the School of Health, Physical Education and Recreation. It has been a part of KSU for about 30 years. 178 4 I-Z .. eva. -u. ,W-'B YK 35 Sw, 395, , z vs 10 -vu-f.,,f,., . -4. . '4' A' -cc . ff .- X f 5-4, ' wi -H. :Q--. . k l.'1'3. 1 N X .. 4 . '.
