A day that has come too quickly for those not quite caught up with their work, and a day that has come too slowly for those anxious to finish projects. But somehow, every day seems to start in the same way . . . 18 Mike Dobrinich 19 . . . fighting with the alarm clock, fumbling for the light switch. lust managing to put one foot on the floor is an accomplishment for many people. Is it even worth it to begin the day? Can you make it even if you decide to get up? Maybe some cold water will wash the crust from your eyes and clear your head. Photos by Mike Dobrinich 20 21 Julie Salonchok 22 Slowly, things start to look better. After a shower and shampoo, the hairdryer ' s roar will surely wake you up enough to shave or put on make-up and get dressed. Always the ritual of rummaging through the closet — I don ' t have anything to wear, 1 never have anything to wear. Is it cold? Should I wear long underwear? boots? With boots 1 should wear those jeans. But this top doesn ' t look right with those jeans . . . Oh, what the hell. Grab a T-shirt and some well-fitting Levis and throw them on. Fred SquiUanle 23 Steven Begleiter 24 Time for breakfast. Whether it ' s coffee at Brady ' s, cereal at home, or doughnuts from some organization ' s table set up in Bowman Hall, the extra energy is a necessity to get through the morning. Gus Chan 25 Getting to classes, however, can be just as challenging as trying to get up. Popping into a car seems easy, except on those typical Kent mornings in the winter when cars won ' t start — or if it ' s just your car that never starts. Then there is the drive, some coming from far away, some from near, all jockeying for parking spaces where they won ' t be ticketed. Those who live closer may decide to hoof it, but they must hike the long, hilly sidewalks and blaze the trails across those diagonals where there are no sidewalks. Dave Maxwell 26 Steven Begleiter 27 When the weather is good, the bikes come out of the racks and the adventuresome students and professors navigate their vv ay through an obstacle course of rutted roads and crowds of people. Gus Chan Fred Squillante 28 Steven Begleiter t And if you don ' t have a bike or the energy, you can take the campus buses, which are perhaps most recognizable by the two tail lights that can be seen as the bus takes off — and you ' re not on it. Or if you get lucky and the bus driver waits, you ' ll have to squeeze in with sixty other people. Gary Harwood 29 30 Once on campus, everyone sorts out to classrooms, labs, and lecture halls grabbing a Stater on their way through the halls or stopping for one last cigarette. Lab partners collaborate on results of experiments; classmates make arrangements to Xerox the notes they missed the day before. The routine of the day settles in . . Fred Squillante Steven Begleiter 31 Barb Kingsley 32 Dave Maxwell ... as you look for some kind of distraction. The fluorescent lights suspend the classroom in a hypnotic h aze, and just sitting there, some are possessed by the overwhelming desire to tune out. And slowly, oh so slowly, some of the would-be listeners succumb to sleep or the oblivion of daydreams. 33 DaleTibbitts 34 Others choose to leave the more structured world, and enter the interpretive w orld of dance, where the movement and flow of form takes precedence over the flow of papers and hand-outs. DaleTibbitts I Fred Squillanle 35 There are a few spots to be alone between classes or pre-finals, in the out-of-the-way places so hard to find, and, once found, so hard to leave. Or there ' s always the seventh floor of the library, where you can retreat to the silence of the stacks of books. Although the silence may be interrupted by the chatter of two who have not seen each other since last September. 36 Photos by Gus Chan 37 Besides the shuffle of classes, there are also jobs and internships. Some students have the responsibilities of student teaching or an office job. Betty Bartholomew Steven Begleiter Or the hassles of taking orders in the Schwebel Room, or piHng people onto a bus. Steven Begleiter 39 And between the flurry of studying, playing, working, and talking, you find time to eat. Some opt for the convenience of a cafeteria; others brown-bag it, or run home. Somehow, you put something into your stomach and hope that it lasts you until the day is over. And when it is . . . Photos by Gus Chan 40 41 Barb Kingsley 42 Fred Squillante . . . it ' s the best part of the day. Talking with your roommate or friends about a recent trauma or the usual ins and outs of the day can help to unwind. Or you could go for a quick game of pool, or a cup of coffee at Jerry ' s Diner, to relax before hittins the books. Fred Squillante 43 Although studying, too, can be relaxing to those who enjoy the grass and the sunshine. Others need the more rigorous atmosphere of a study lounge or a cramped-but-homey desk, and still others grab whatever moments they can. Barb Kingsley 44 Gus Chcin 45 _j fc, • ' v„ ' A k. , . .- % , Barb Kingsley Gus Chan 46 But there never seems to be enough time to study, especially when there is the spirited camaraderie of endeavors such as frisbee in the hallw ays, a quick game of touch football, or an impromptu songfest in the formal lounge. Cus Chan 47 Still, there are times when elements from the larger world draw you out of yourself and your environment to protest, to make your opinion known, and to ask others to do the same. There are times when injustice or the seed of a cause brings out the anger in people; and it spills out into common grounds of domain for all the campus, and sometimes all the world, to hear. 46 Photos by Barb Kingsley 49 And there are other times when escapism seems the only way, when you need to remove yourself and retreat into another kind of world, whether imagined or of the past, whether bizarre or just fanciful. Fred Squillante 50 Steven Begleiter and Gus Chan 51 But being crazy and doing what comes naturally is an important part of being here. Good or bad, there is an individuality in the way that things are done here. The diversity and contrast in the lifestyles and personalities in our small chunk of the world make this campus something special. Dale S. Dengerd 52 Maybe that ' s what has made the difference.

Dr. Betty Hartman, dean, School of Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance. In the past two years, KSU has been in the process of changing from the quarter to the semester system for financial and academic reasons. Most faculty seem to agree the change was an improvement academically. As Dr. Walter Watson, director of the School of Music, said, On quarters there is not enough time to let it sink in or mull things over. But students repeatedly complained of being stuck for 15 weeks in classes they dislike. And assistant professor of journalism Dr. M.-Daniel Jacoubovitch, while favoring semesters, said many faculty members haven ' t re-structured their courses but instead are stretching old material to fit the longer term. I feel like I ' m getting quarter material in semester form. Timothy Pullen, sophomore pre-art major. The students, like faculty, are divided. One junior called semesters an educational rip-off, but another said he prefers them and doesn ' t feel as much pressure. Sophomore Jim Nacht favors the early end in May, but senior Kim Newton said she hates getting home late for Christmas: College is the last years to spend with the family getting ready for the holidays. However, senior Tom Clark claims, I ' ve been on quarters for three years. This is the first year I ' ve not been hyped. There were less differences than we would have anticipated. Marjorie Eckel, receptionist. Counseling and Group Resources Center. Was there any effect on students physically and emotionally? A Health Center nurse said, I think people are a little more tired. But I really can ' t say that a big change was noticed. One student observed, I think people ' s tempers are shorter. But Mrs. Eckel emphasized the difficulty in making comparisons: We ' re playing it by ear, like everyone else. Some people think it is long, but I think it ' s just a matter of getting used to it. Carol Diller, assistant to the dean, School of Nursing. Faculty and administrators said again and again it is too early to judge the semester system. In addition, English department chairperson Dr. Robert Bramberg brought out, Those who used to teach on the semester system enjoy it; those who have never taught under it have a period of adjustment. And junior Elizabeth Byrd, after voicing her gripes, concluded with a sigh, Maybe next semester will be better. — Lisa Schnellinger Dave Maxwell 57 Rockwell For many students, the mention of Rockwell Hall stirs memories of long lines and endless runarounds. It is the place to go to drop off registration forms, drop a class, or drop out entirely. Some go to Rockwell to pick up forms, pick up grades, or all too often, to pick on some unsuspecting clerk. There are, however, some more useful and pleasant reasons to visit the building. You can find jobs, a quiet retreat, and many friendly and helpful people in Rockwell. Openings for jobs both on and off campus are posted on the bulletin board outside Financial Aids. Financial Aids and the Registrar ' s office are the best-known spots in Rockwell. The long lines that form like human calendars around each deadline create a tense and sometimes ugly atmosphere. Fortunately, the emotions and expressions displayed at these times do not represent the true personalities of either the students or the office personnel. Photos by Gus Chan 58 A much less popular spot in Rockwell is the relatively obscure James A. Michener Gallery. This one-room art museum, located among the plush and peaceful executive offices at the north end of the building, has been a favorite retreat of a few students. You can spend many uninterrupted hours studying, writing, or viewing the exhibits. The names inscribed on Rockwell ' s exterior reveal the building ' s first 40 years as Kent State ' s library. Rockwell still serves the university in many ways. The offices of Admissions, Computer Services, Military Sciences, Continuing Education, and the others mentioned all make the building an important and active part of campus. If your memories of Rockwell Hall are less than favorable, give it the benefit of the doubt, and keep in mind that, like people, even a building can have some bad days among the good. — Mark Weisman Rockwell Hall, one of the old buildings on Administratio n Hill, houses many important offices, such as Student Employment and V ork-Study.

The stately, flat-roofed structure leans up against the side of the hill. The architecture of 40 years offers a moment of solitude. This is McGilvrey Hall, buih in 1940. The geography and geology departments are found within its time-worn walls. Inside, stairways with worn wooden banisters connect the four main floors. The walls are orange brick, faded with age. A variety of rocks, fossils, and maps are housed within the old wooden showcases renovated with blue paint. The offices on each floor have been modernized with furniture, but moldings encasing the windows have been with the building since it was built. Bright punches of color form a mural painting of mountains, trees, and spirits on the wall of the fourth floor. An elaborate Geologic Time Scale made by student Gertrude de Maza allows one to walk through eternity, senior geology major Tracy Clause said. But beyond the rooms overflowing with maps and all the rocks (some used as doorstops), students are the heart of McGilvrey. Steve Svetlack, a senior geology major, said the department is very job- oriented, and is helpful in placing graduates in jobs. Colin Klein Colin Klein 60 Most people ask, What can you do with that degree? senior geology major Laurie Hillebrand said. She listed career possibilities in mining, oil, and gas exploration as being among the many that are available. The geography department also prepares students for a wide range of careers. Allan Church, a senior geography major, said that most students take geography as a required course and then discover the career possibilities available — in urban planning, mapping, environmental soil conservation and statistics. Dr. Frank Erickson, assistant professor of geography, said most of the general public does not know what geography is. Since the course is not taught in many high schools, few freshmen start as geography majors. Although it houses two departments with modern career possibilities, McGilvrey Hall itself is full of old-time flavor that contrasts nicely with other buildings on campus. Senior geology major Gary Rogers summed it up best, saying, This building ' s got character. — Carol Van Treuren Geography students share a laugh while working on maps, opposite top. Mike Raymondi, graduate student in geology, takes a glance at the past as illustrated in the Geologic Time Scale in McGilvrey, opposite bottom. Tim Allen, graduate student in geology (left), and sophomore John Schwartz examine rock specimens, below. Fred Squillante 61 Kent Hall Dr. Jeykll would envy the extensively-equipped research laboratories concealed behind the many doors of Kent Hall. However, it isn ' t mad experiments that are being concocted, but scientific research that is under way. According to Dr. Roy Lilly, chairman of the Psychology Department, there is a broad range of experiments taking place on areas such as memory and learning processes and hormonal effects on the brain. People involved in such experiments generally are students from the introductory psychology classes. To receive points for the class, they may choose to participate in the experiments. It benefits the student because they get some idea how psychologists get their data, said Dr. Lilly. We have a complaint box and our most frequent complaint is that there are not enough experiments to participate in. A former participant, Candy Rensel, now a junior psychology major, said, At the time they weren ' t beneficial to me, but now I can see their importance. ■H ' . I ■ ' w ' • . Psychoids ' 62 Research scientist Dr. David Riccio is working with memory and learning processes in animals, specifically dealing with how amnesia is produced and how one recovers. Our main goal is to increase our knowledge and information about basic memory and learning processes, Dr. Riccio said. Professor Richard Vardaris, another research psychologist, has a laboratory that looks like a setting from the movie Star Wars, equipped with endless stainless steel gadgetry and complicated-looking machines that enable him to read brain waves of a white rat or dissect a brain. Besides their research, many psychologists are professional health providers who treat patients with emotional problems. Dr. John Akamatsu, head of the Psychology Clinic, states, We treat people from the community as well as students. They can walk right in and there will be someone to talk to them. People from the community usually pay on a sliding scale, whereas counseling for the students is for free. We have both a training and service program, Dr. Akamatsu said. Graduate students with their PhD ' s receive their initial practical experience, and people with problems have the counseling they need.

Photos by Gus Chan 63 Franklin Photos by Colin Klein 64 Four flights of step-worn stairs lead from Franklin Theatre in the basement to deserted offices and classrooms on the fourth floor. Unused rooms are barren except for paper and junk strewn over the floors. Classrooms with radiators, rattling windows, and creaking floors have, in some cases, been modernized with carpeting and drapes. Classes such as Death Education and Human Sexuality meet behind the faded yellow walls of high-ceilinged Franklin Hall, home of the Health and Safety Education program. This is also a catch-all building for classes such as sociology and calculus, but is perhaps most closely associated with Franklin Theatre. A few hours before sh owtime the basement of the archaic building comes alive. The dingy ballet room is brightly lit. Props have been removed from the machine shop, where the checkerboard tan and black floor is spattered with white and gold paint. In an adjoining room a pianist practices in the dark. Actors tediously apply make-up in a warm, stagnant room which smells of old flowers. The entire building is a maze of narrow hallways which lead to small, vwndowless rooms. — Jonie Shroyer Joe Sochocky, senior architecture major, finds the quiet of Franklin ' s halls a good place to review his notes, opposite top.

Gene Cambell. junior chemistry major, and Sue Tinker, freshman, share a stairwell and catch up on some reading, below left. Joe Sochocky finishes up his notes and relaxes with a cigarette, right. White Hall It is easy enough to dispense with the building. White Hall looks like a parking garage, especially since there is a lot underneath it. As one graduate student put it, The most exciting thing visually is this window — and that ' s because it looks out. The walls are tile with concrete floors in colors to match, and the overall effect is that of a huge bathroom. The hallways are often empty and one wonders, when talking to the students, why they have any affection for the place at all. It ' s a real homey atmosphere — very caring people, Pat Holm, a senior in early childhood education, said. It ' s a real good feeling of helpfulness there, much more than in other areas. Graduate student Bernie Jesiolowski was also very positive about his classes in counseling psychology. There ' s a nice humanistic attitude here, he said. There is also a flexibility along with academic rigor; a good combination. One of his classes along the flexible lines is a graduate level Gestalt therapy class. I like to get involved in learning, one participant said. And involvement is the key to many of the class sessions. The instructor. Dr. Andy Woldt, gets Jim Celuch 66 everyone in the room involved, even those not physically participating. He molds the situation, with his penetrating eyes and concise comments. Elementary education major Eleanor Finta, 40 years old, commutes from Warren every day with 14 other people to attend classes here. She has taught in Warren with autistic children, and went back to school for her degree because it ' s thrilling to see a child who was having so much difficulty begin learning something. She finds her courses all valuable, especially practical ones such as a class in operating media equipment. Adjacent to the lab is the Video Productions lab, where taping for video programs in done. Deaf education makes a sign language tape here each week, and some remote filming is done with student teachers. Arlene Loconti, a graduate assistant who coordinates the lab, claims that use of video tapes is definitely going to be the aim of the future. Arlene is very friendly, and willing to demonstrate the equipment, as are many of those in the offices throughout the building. Even if you are a stranger they take you into their family knowing that there is something that they can teach you. — Lisa Schnellinger Graduate student of counseling psychology Bernie Jesiolowski glances through a Stater between his classes in White Hall, opposite left.

Even if you ' ve never stepped inside the Kent State University School, you know how it feels. After all, it hasn ' t been that long since you were somewhere very similar. In many ways, KSU ' s is like every other grade school in America. The greatest similarity is, of course, the children. Without them, there would be no laughter, no gym shoes, no fingerpaint, and no way to distinguish University School from Satterfield Hall. The classrooms would still be sunny, but who would decorate the walls, and who, if the children were gone, would be left for the slightly older children to observe? Outside one classroom door, a sign explains that inside this room are highly intelligent, creative, sensitive, fun-loving, friendly, happy human beings who happen to be boys and girls. Several of them may also happen to be college students. University School has room for those who are learning about learning as well as for those who are just beginning to learn. Maintaining that room is the school ' s primary purpose. In addition to those enrolled in the departments of Early Childhood, Elementary, and Secondary Education, KSU students majoring in music, psychology, technology, and many other fields use University School as a training ground. Its students, parents, and teachers are their models, advisors, Jim Celuch 68 and guinea pigs. Through this hvely interaction, everyone grows. The children become aware of the intellectual curiosity and diverse interests of the university students. The students, in turn, gain first-hand experience in their chosen professions. Dr. Herbert Goldsmith, director of University School, said he hopes the close relationship between students and the elementary system will set a precedent for other programs of alternative education. In addition to classroom observation and participation, university students and faculty are involved in a wide range of extracurricular clubs, workshops, and activities which deepen the traditionally academic student-teacher bonds. So that eerie sense of familiarity you feel when entering University School for the first time is only half right. Your elementary school may have looked like this, but it probably didn ' t give you access to a twelve-story library or dozens of professors. At Kent State ' s University School, these and many other advantages are contributing to an educational base that is exciting as well as challenging. — Barb Gerwin University School is children — big ones and little ones. It is their laughter and learning that brings life to the school. One little girl shows off her full skirt in a dance for friends, opposite. The big people are learning too: Nick Loya, a senior in special and elementary education, explains workbook material to a group of students, top left; senior Joanne Pfeil, an early childhood and special education major, listens to a younger viewpoint, bottom. Director Herbert Goldsmith also takes an active part in the learning process at University School, top right. Dave Maxwell 69 Nixson As you enter through the glass doors, your sense of smell is immediately stimulated. Cooking odors fill the corridors, bringing memories of junior high home ec classes to mind. The building resembles an elementary school: low ceilings, florescent lights and racks with hangers for coats. This is Nixson Hall, the housing facility for the Home Economics Department. Three types of Bachelor ' s degrees with majors in fashion merchandising, interior design, nutrition and dietetics, and many others are available within this small building. A homey atmosphere has been established in Nixson. Graphic designs in earthy colors are painted on the walls, in gold, orange, and brown. The speckled tile floor reminds one of the kitchen coverings in older homes, before the days of no-wax congloleum. Colorful cloth-covered posters line the walls. A glass showcase displays a collage of the four basic food groups, and nutrient posters. Stuffed chairs and couches are upstairs. The floor is partly carpeted, and the wall paper is in soft stripes. The comfortable, appropriate atmosphere is interrupted by lockers on both sides of the hall, a reminder that this is still a building where classes and work have to be done. The classrooms contain dress-designing mannequins, drafting tables, looms, stoves, and sinks. Tapestries and weavings line the office walls. Senior interior design majors Julie Friedman and Cindy Weiss pursue the sample room, above. Cathy Dimaio, junior in individual and family development, takes a sample of her cooking in Mrs. Snowden ' s Food Preparations class, opposite top. Senior Linda Hammer checks the directions in her recipe, opposite bottom. 70 There are sounds of dishes clanking, cabinets shutting, sewing machines humming and a radio playing. On the whole, the atmosphere is a quiet one. At least until the students appear . . . A junior interior design major, Kay Pricker, spoke of her impressions during the first semester in Nixson Hall. There ' s a feeling here — everyone is so friendly. Instructors deal with students on a one-to-one basis. It ' s a family atmosphere. But, she went on to say, there are people who think an interior designer ' s job only involves picking out curtains. In speaking with the students, one becomes aware of the discontent they feel towards outsiders ' views of home economics. They don ' t want to be thought of as Suzi Homemakers. Required courses qualify them for many jobs. For example, interior design majors are qualified to be draftsmen, product designers for furniture, sales representatives, buyers for department stores, or assistants to architectural designers. It is no longer just a woman ' s field. Although the ratio of females to males is ten to one in most classes, the numbers of males is increasing. No longer seen as a 24-hour-a-day job of women at home, it is now becoming recognized as a profession that tries to deal with today ' s society. Photos by Gus Chan 71 The coursework for the fields is more time-consuming than it may appear. A senior interior design major, Sandy Dolan, said, I ' m here every single day of the week — ten hours just for design class alone. She added, interior designers find it very offensive to be called interior decorators. Another senior interior design major, Sandy Schroeder, explained why they find it offensive by listing some of the courses required: architecture, art, math, environmental technology, physics, textiles, technical sketching, and business classes such as marketing, sales management, economics, and retail sales. She sums it up by saying, We live here. The interior design department is not accredited by the Foundation for Interior Design Education Research (FIDER), Schroeder said. But they are working on accreditation and hope to be accredited this year. The program has outgrown its space, said one senior design student, adding that she feels there are too many students per room and that the lab facilities are out of date. Newer labs are available, but the samples of carpet, catalogues, and building products are kept in storage because there is no room for them in the labs. 72 In addition to classes, the home economics department is involved in campus and community projects. A senior nutrition and dietetics major, Kathy Thomas, said that in her Advanced Nutrition class, the students are required to participate in campus or community counseling. They may perform volunteer counseling in the nutrition center located in KSU ' s Health Center, or they may do community counseling such as the Meals on Wheels program. Many hours of practicum are also involved in fields of home economics to give students practical work experience. According to Sharlene Ramos, a junior fashion merchandising major, the Presentation Techniques class puts together a fashion show each semester. The models are students who have sewn their own clothes. Another interesting program was set up for Handicapped Homemaking, to teach both handicapped and non-handicapped students how to adapt to a home environment with a handicapped person. Nixson Hall is a small and at times confining building. But below the surface is a diversity of people and facilities that make it what it is. — Carol Van Treuren Individual and Family Development includes the Child Care Center, where children are specially selected for the program. Senior Susan Kulberg, opposite left, and Patsy Morris, director of the Center, opposite right, involve their pre-schoolers in activity. Caroline Olynyk, a senior guest student, takes notes in Mrs. Dorothy Fruit ' s Gerontology class. Phcilos l)y (ais ( hiin 73 Music and Speech Music and Speech, a building of the College of Fine and Professional Arts, houses mainly those arts which involve an interaction of the students. When you vk ork with your classmates night after night on production, you get to know them inside out, said Liz Ostanek, a junior telecommunications major. The case is much the same in both music and theatre, the students in these majors comprising probably the most tightly-knit groups on campus. Rob Haupt, a senior voice performance major said, We are kind of like a family here. Sometimes, unfortunately, brothers and sisters don ' t get along, but for the most part we get along very well. Sophomore Rob Cole sees a similar situation in theatre, Because of the aspect of people working together there ' s a closer bond between the people in the department and the professors. Of course this close bond, again can have its bad side as well. Sometimes it ' s too political — too many cliques. Sue Bour, an audiology student, also perceives a bond among the students in her major, terming it a close interrelationship involving a small group of people. The closeness among the students in these fields is merely a reflection of the fact that classwork is where their studies begin but not where they end. Music Photos by Dave Maxwell 74 and Speech can be found open and full of students late into the night, long after classes are over elsewhere on campus. In the evening, Sue may be found doing clinical research; Liz will be up on the third floor studio working at producing the TV-2 news; Rob Cole will be at a rehearsal for Hair and Rob Haupt may be heard practicing a solo to be performed with one of the choruses. The emphasis in these fields is on the practical, and although classes are important as well, it is in performance that the grade needs to be made. You ' ve got to adjust to producing things, not papers, Liz said. Between classwork during the day and production work at night, the dedicated students in these fields are kept very busy. Grades mean something in these areas, but resumes mean much more. Rob Cole and Liz both commented on the students in their respective departments who attend classes but fail to participate in any production, asserting that they were missing the most important and essential element of their education. A degree with no experience is largely worthless in these fields. Ample opportunities exist for involvement, so there is no real excuse for not participating. For most students whose home is the Music and Speech Building, performance is the inportant thing. On the third floor, Liz Ostanek directs and oversees the production of a news telecast, opposite. Rob Cole, theatre major, evolves into an old man in the make-up room, preparing himself for his performance in The Miser, below middle. Tom Eckert and Tom Maxwell rehearse for an ensemble, bottom. 75 Rob Cole said he sees many opportunities for performance at Kent, and considers this to be one of the strong points of the program. He has appeared in Hair, The Miser, and Of Mice and Men, worked properties for P.S. Your Cat is Dead, struck sets and currently participates in an improvisation group. He maintains a very high opinion of the theatre program: especially with its expansion scheduled for next year, including a new wing and a specialized program in musical theatre. These additions taken into consideration, Rob claimed, We have the potential to become one of the leading schools of drama. The new wing will include office space, classrooms, a scene shop and an experimental theatre, seating approximately 200, and cost about 1.7 million dollars to build. What impresses Rob most about the theatre division is the attitude of the professors — they ' re basically very open-minded. As for his fellow students, he said, I think theatre majors are the most lively outgoing body of people on campus. His main complaints against the program are the lack of space (soon to be remedied), and various lumps in the pre-theatre program which have not been smoothed out yet since the program is only in its second year. 76 Sue Bour, in her fifth year, is equally impressed with the division of Speech Pathology and Audiology. Formerly a student at Cleveland State. Sue came to Kent for this program — one of the best in the country in the field, she said. Graduates of the program are certified by the National Association of Speech Pathologists and Audiologists, thus eliminating much of the red tape on their road to employment. The emphasis of the program, as with the others in Music and Speech, is on the practical and involves much clinical work. Sue views this as both a good and bad point of the program. The students are thrown right into the clinical setting, responsible for their own work, although supervised by graduate students. You are not spoon fed. They make you learn by doing, which may be the hard way, but it ' s good experience, Sue said. She sees the quality of the professors as the program ' s best aspect. The first two years of the program are mostly classwork, followed by independently- done observation courses. For the most part they give you every opportunity to learn, Sue said. You deal with people directly. learn. r ou aeai wun peopie unecny ouesaiu. Theatre students pursue the active half of their education late at night.

Photos by Dale Tibbitts 77 Telecommunications is a time-consuming major, with practical experience a must. According to Liz Ostanek, however, these are merely the necessary consequences of a program that is geared to the enthusiastic student. Work opportunities are abundant, ranging from the TV-2 news to the professional radio sta tion, WKSU-FM, and the voluntarily-run WKSR-AM. Every possible experience from being ' talent, ' running anchor and co-anchor, camera work, directing, and production is offered, she said. Liz ' s favorite aspect of the program is the challenge it presents her with. I like the challenge. When I got into directing I was a little afraid. It looked so confusing, but it was such a feeling of accomplishment to be producing the 5:30 news. I ' m under a lot of pressure all the time, but you ' ve got to keep up with it. Liz also commented on the unstable nature of pursuing a profession in the arts. In telecommunications this means constantly-changing public demands and new technology, among other things. She stresses the value of diversity in studying the field and in getting experience prior to making a career. KSU ' s program offers both for her. Like the other Music and Speech programs wherein much of the important work occurs outside the classroom, telecommunications requires a self-motivated student, devoted to his vocation so as to distinguish himself here before going out into the real world. 78 Rob Haupt, completing his degree in voice performance this year and a five- year veteran of the School of Music, sees the strong points of the program as the excellent professors here, and the university ' s location near Cleveland, Akron, Canton and Youngstown. The school can also boast of the Ohio Light Opera Company and the Blossom Festival School of Music, both conducted during the summer. Among the school ' s faults Rob listed its insufficiency of space: too few practice rooms and no proper place in which to stage either an opera or an orchestra concert. However, to its credit the school offers courses oriented to both study and practice. To an extent you can do what you want — you can perform. You can do as many recitals as you can handle, Rob said. In music there is also an interaction among the students, whether in orchestra or choral work. Rob observed, You work with one another, so you know one another. In an ensemble you have to pull your own weight, but the important thing is that it is a joint effort. Music students, according to Rob, are on the whole very outgoing and easy to talk to, so the joint effort is often a pleasant experience. — Van Watson Books and papers are discarded by students in this building, who favor other ways of learning.

They wait for the bus in the cold darkness, and during the long ride to St. Luke ' s or Mt. Sinai they sleep or study. Changing dressings, cleaning up, giving shots, taking temperatures, and discussing patients and medications, fill their days at the clinical facilities in several area hospitals. Giving a shot may seem like a simple task, but Maureen Geary, a junior, said she was scared stiff the first time she gave a shot. Sometimes patients are apprehensive, and students get reactions like I don ' t want to be a guinea pig for a student, she said. Study and dedication are required to back up practical experience. Nursing is a modern, growing field that demands much from its students. There used to be a time when nurses were handmaids, but today ' s nurses do a vastly different kind of work, Dr. Linnea Henderson, dean of nursing, said. Education in nursing has grown from a one-year program in the nineteenth century to a four- year program with graduate studies. Steven Begleiter 80 The first class of 67 was graduated in 1971. Today there are over 1,000 people enrolled in the program. Nursing is no longer women ' s work. Enrollment of male nurses is about eight percent, and the number is growing. To contain the needs of a growing school, a new facility was buih, and dedicated on October 13, 1979. Big philedendrons and spider plants grow well in the third floor greenhouse. The greenhouse skylight gives the courtyard on the first floor a spacious feeling. Small bulletin boards outside each faculty office hold notes from students. The program itself is rigorous, and as the semesters wear on a student ' s social life slowly disappears. Although the nursing students complain, they feel the time is worth it. But I never expected to spend over 30 hours studying for one test, Maureen said. The students are expected to provide mental, physical, and emotional support, which can be exhausting, but there are lighter moments. A friend of mine had to chase a senile patient around the hospital and convince him to stay in his room, said junior Cindy Chappie. We pinned a note on his gown that said ' Please return me to room 303 ' . — Jonie Shroyer clinical experience is primary in a nursing major ' s curriculum.

Steven Begleiter y|HteK y ' -i - P r ■ K , m i H Ify . en CusChan 81 Science Buildings If you mix one part concrete and brick, two parts stainless steel equipment, and ninety-seven parts dedication, what do you end up with? Kent State ' s Science Department. The air in the three Science Buildings — Smith, Cunningham, and Williams Hall — is filled with the scent of dedication. It rises above the sulfuric odors; it penetrates the formaldehyde effluvium. It invades the souls of these devoted science scholars as the chemical scents invades the average student ' s nostrils. This dedication was not erected with the new buildings ten years ago, but was born back in the 1930s, and has grown step by step with the Science Department. In 1937, when the nation was devoting its attention to military causes, Kent ' s students were devoting their time and attention to the search for knowledge. The science majors were spending their hours in the Science Hall, now known as Kent Hall. 82 Then, in 1939, McGilvrey Hall was added to the fastest-growing campus in America. The then-new, million-dollar science building, which the Daily Kent Stater said was big enough to contain seventy-five medium-sized houses, was to be the new home of the rapidly-expanding Science Department here. McGilvrey Hall served the science students for almost 30 years, until each department division was given its own home. Cunningham Hall, the biology building, houses a 369-seat auditorium, two small lecture halls, a conference-seminar room, a departmental office suite, an aquarium, an environmental room, a zoological museum, an herbarium, an animal-holding facility, and an attached greenhouse. When looking at the exterior, one sees a four-story concrete and brick structure striped with panes and panes of shiny brown-tinted glass. But again, it is the dedication that oozes from the concrete and brick, and shines through the glass, that makes this material a house of education. Added to the mixture of brick and steel of the Science Department buildings is a large quantity of glass. Bottles of chemicals line the shelves of Williams Hall, opposite top left. Glass is also utilized as senior Laura Irwin gazes through binoculars, opposite right. Dr. Hiram M. Dutta films fish swimming in glass tanks in Williams Hall, opposite bottom. Dr. Ralph Dexters ' Orinthology class, below, steps away from all the glass and inspects the birds outdoors. Photos by Steven Begleiter 83 Williams Hall, the three-story building called home by KSU ' s chemistry majors, houses two large lecture halls, several classrooms, instructional laboratories, research laboratories, the chemistry-physics library, chemical stockrooms, electronics shops, and glassworking. A unique feature of Kent State ' s laboratory is the glass-blower. Larry Maurer specializes in designing glass articles for the labs. The sizable Rumold Chemistry-Physics Library is located on the third floor of Williams Hall, where students spend many hours deep in piles of books, searching for chemical formulas. It contains up-to-date collections of all major chemistry and physics journals and all major abstracting and indexing series, along with all chemistry and physics books published by the major scientific publishing houses. The Rumold Chemistry-Physics Library becomes home to many of the chemistry professors and graduate students, as they have 24-hour access, seven days a week. The Chemistry Department offers graduate work in five areas: biochemistry; analytic chemistry; inorganic chemistry; organic chemistry; and physical chemistry. Photos by Steven Begleiter 84 The third division of the Science Department is physics. Students devoted to this strain of scientific study spend their time in Smith Hall. The physics building is divided into two sections. An exhibit area separates a three-story above-ground unit from the one-story segment. The planetarium, with a 40-foot diameter dome and two medium-sized lecture halls is located in the one-story segment. The three-story section contains recitation classrooms, graduate students ' and faculty offices, 23 research rooms, and instructional laboratories. Other than the planetarium. Smith Hall dwellers appreciate its two photographic dark rooms, a comfortably-furnished conference-seminar room, and the departmental office suite. The machine shop, electronics shop, and receiving and storage areas also add to the building ' s practical qualities. Although the physics building is very practical, it is also attractive. The colo red vinyl walls and wood-grained doors create a warmth not generally found in a science building. And one cannot help but notice the spectacular eight-foot seal of the American Institute of Physics designed in the terrazzo floor. Graduate assistant Dave Wolfe does some star-gazing in the planetarium in Smith Hall, opposite middle. An outside view as the first snow begins to fall on the brick and glass of Smith Hall, below middle. Dr. Myers relaxes in Williams Hall, bottom. Glassblower Larry Maure, opposite top, helps supply the department with glass instruments. 85 KSU ' s Science Department has still another division. A small brick building on the corner of Main and Lincoln houses the internationally recognized Liquid Crystals Institute. Here one would find the most determined of this species of scientific scholars. Chemistry students may carry on research in the field of liquid crystals, under the guidance of a member of the department who has research programs in liquid crystals. Dr. Adriaan DeVries, a senior research fellow, explained the process this way: When a solid melts, it becomes a liquid. Though before it enters the liquid stage — somewhere between a solid and a liquid — crystals are formed. These liquid crystals are used in the numerical display in digital watches, pocket calculators, and thermometers and other temperature indicators. While Smith Hall secretary Millie Mace said she can ' t separate the Science majors from the English majors, the trained eye of Dr. Ralph Dexter, Senior Professor of Biological Sciences, finds the science student a different breed of Barb Kingsley 86 student: The sciences attract a more stable, conservative student. These scholars seem to dedicate their total existence to the quest for scientific knowledge. Ask anyone you see striding through the halls of the science buildings about any scientific problem, and you will receive enough information to fill a library. But ask him what he thinks about the buildings or programs, and he may have difficulty expressing himself not using scientific equations. The science students here seem to realize their purpose in the field of science and are striving for their goals. They reach for the stars, and don ' t want to be bothered with visits to any other planets. But in reaching for these stars, if they fall short, they will still land on top of the world. And we seem to be suffering from a shortage of these dedicated people on top of our world. — Pam Tausch Science scholars Donna Joseph, opposite top, and Kurt Kocias, opposite bottom, mix bookwork and practical experiments in their education.

Barb Kingsley 87 Physical Education In a mirrored room, ballet students practice intricate steps to classical music. The dance they learn is an art respected around the world. In another part of the building, John Travolta clones bounce to the beat of Donna Summer ' s music. The building is the gym annex. No other building on campus houses the contrasts that this one does — nor the variety. There is volleyball, archery, swimming, racquetball, badminton, and more. And the students participating in these sports aren ' t all physical education majors. Post-graduate student Lyn Carlson, a full-time aerospace technology major and part-time member of the nursing faculty, is taking aerobic dancing and said she plans to take other dance classes, perhaps tap dancing. Dancing is fun, she said, and it ' s good for the cardiovascular system. Colin Klein Fred Squillante 88 A wide variety of classes come together in the new gymnasium.

Fred Squillante Fred Squillante 89 With the opening of the new gym annex, there seems to be more student interest in the facilities the Physical Education Department has to offer. According to Maureen McGinty, a senior recreation major who is also the intramurals and Campus Recreation Association ' s vice-president for co- recreation, there is a lot more individual participation. Maureen works in the equipmen t room for the gym annex and has had contact with the curious people who come over to see the ' new gym. ' Once they see what it has to offer, they become interested in it. The annex brings most of the physical education programs under one roof. (Ice-skaters will still have to make the long trek over to the ice arena.) Because of the annex, there is less competition between varsity sports and intramural programs for gym time. The new facilities also offer more open gym time to students, said Maureen McGinty. And there ' s lots of room — room for lots of events. Fred Squillante Jack Sattler 90 Junior physical education major Sue Baxter, a member of the varsity gymnastics team, said that there has also been an increase in gymnastics spectators since the annex was built. No one wanted to go over to Wills Gym to watch the intersquad meets, she said. Snow came in through a hole in the roof and stayed on a fan in the ceiling, she said. There was no heat. Wills Gym was really drab, Sue said, because there were no colors. Bright red, orange and yellow paint covers the annex walls, and blue carpet runs through the halls. Senior physical education major Kathy Tedrick said she likes the annex because it is spacious. Ceilings are high and uncovered. Windows around stairwells bring the inside and outside environments together, causing the outside environment to be an extension of the building rather than the building being closed off from the outside world. — Fred Squillante Lacing up for a few hours of ice-skating are business majors Len Starr, junior, and Lora Bourke, freshman, opposite top.

Students stop for a breather and watch action on the central courts, below. The spacious gym annex, completed this summer, has attracted more students for intramurals and more spectators for varsity sport events. 91 Bowman The building itself is less than ordinary. It looks like a high school, with its barren tile corridors and the two vast expanses of hackneyed seats called Lecture Hall A and B. Between classes, people sit and converse in the hallways, on the heaters, in the open area by the clock-without-hands, and around the coffee and doughnuts table. A kind of academic student center . . . This isn ' t only the home of political science, philosophy, and history majors — everyone has classes in Bowman to fulfill general requirements or courses in their minor. So the atmosphere is a good cross-section of the university for a casual observer. But go a little further. Go beyond the dull architecture and the utilitarian classrooms. There are intellectual distractions to be had: graduate assistants nervously teaching history for the first time; profs like John Gargan (who screams excitedly Doesn ' t that turn you on? Doesn ' t that blow your mind? ) and Frank Byrne (who gives intense, concentrated lectures full of detail with 92 scarcely a glance at his notes). And to wander into the offices of the International and Area Studies Programs takes it another step. The array of study-travel programs that have their connection here is the only hinted at by the bright posters on the wall. Italy, Geneva, Washington D.C., Mexico — the Bowman offices are the stepping stones to learning about them and getting there. Maybe the best thing about this intellectual melting-pot building is the variety of ways this very basic knowledge is presented. Classes to understand American culture, argue logically, or think about and participate in politics are, ideally, the roots of a college education. From these classes come the start, perhaps, of comprehending the past, dealing with the present, and working towards the future. — Lisa Schnellinger Bowman Hall — inside, outside — people.

Gutentag . . . this is Kent State ' s Tower of Babble — Satterfield Hall, the language building. Walking through the halls one might hear snatches of conversation in French, Italian, German and Spanish mixed in with the thesaurus vocabulary of English majors. English and language majors are often called irrational by others, particularly math majors (who believe logic is the only truth). Ask an English major what a poem or story means and you ' re caught for hours while they attempt to explain the meaning. When they ' re finally finished they tell you that ' s only one interpretation. Still, everyone at Kent has had to take an English course. Even if one abhors the subject, Freshman English is a requirement for anyone. But I ' m an art major, I don ' t have to know how to write, wailed one entering student. But there it was on her schedule in black and white, glaring at her: Freshman English 10001 — room 221 — Satterfield — Staff. The department of English also offers a Writing Clinic to help any student having problems with writing. Run by graduate students, the clinic has been Gary Harwood 94 very successful, Stockdale says. New courses in Women ' s Studies were also introduced, such as Images of Women in Literature, a course concentrating on women ' s roles in literature. The New Kent Quarterly, Kent ' s creative literary magazine, provides an outlet for creative people on campus, editor Kathi Reynolds said. It has something for everyone; art, photography, poetry, short stories and essays. Punta de Vista Point of View is a bilingual magazine for those interested in the language, culture, and Spanish-speaking countries, said editor Marilyn Shaw. The departments of Romance Languages and Literatures are the principle sponsors for Kent ' s International Film Festival. Satterfield also houses the department of Germanic and Slavic Languages and the department of Classical Studies. — Judy Goldman Annette Solitro, sophomore German major, makes use of one of the language labs located on the third floor of Satterfield, the language building, below.

Fred Squillante 95 Business Administration Gary Harwood Free enterprise, efficiency, information processing, utilitarianism, production and distribution, perfection — the College of Business Administration. Penny- colored glass strips are arranged in vertical rows between the ends of classrooms which jut out from a bronze body of brick and metal. Even the building ' s floor plan reveals its business-like efficiency. The bulging brain of the upper levels houses the meeting rooms and the private offices of the professors, who filtrate down through echoing staircases to the lower level classrooms. These unique, amphitheatre-like classrooms scream of efficiency, with their sliding chalkboards and screens, abracadabra-podium-desks, and abundance of overhead projectors. Wall Street Journals and computer print-out sheets plaster the bulletin boards which line curving corridors. People clad both in suits and in jeans converge in the halls and converse. Why are they in this field? Because of the immediate availability of jobs, one accounting major explained, adding that she could get out of here and get a Fred Squillante 96 good job with no Masters. The fields in business offer an opportunity for a growth response — you can change and develop yourself, claims Dr. Robert Smith, professor of administrative sciences. Today ' s students want good jobs with a good company, says Associate Dean Dr. Gerald Ridinger. The College of Business Administration is accreditated by the Accreditation Council of the American Assemble of Collegiate Schools of Business. Only about 140 of the hundreds of business schools in the U.S. share this accreditation. It is also the only business school in northern Ohio which offers a doctorate degree in business. The model classrooms and executive-like professors, wearing three-piece suits and smoking pipes, give the building a certain quality; very . . . well . . . businesslike. — Jeffrey Jomey Students and professors of business: reading the Wall Street Journal is part of the day, opposite left; senior accounting major Gordon Johns leaves the building at the end of day, opposite right.

Gary Harwood 97 Van Deusen The constant clatter of machinery is what one notices first inside Van Deusen Hall; the building is dominated by complicated-looking machines and the people operating them. Van Deusen is the home of more than 600 students majoring in some type of technology: metallurgy, woodworking and crafting, ceramics, graphic arts processes, aerospace technology, and general industrial arts education. A low-slung building, now 30 years old. Van Deusen sits close to the heart of campus, right off of Terrace Drive. But what the casual observer sees as most unique about Van Deusen are the two silent sentinels gracing the compound between it and the Art Building: a World War II vintage fighter plane, painted yellow, and a gutted U.S. Army helicopter, standing as reminders of how far aerospace technology has come. Inside the building, there is an industrious atmosphere and hurried pace. The technology student is a practical type; he usually has deft hands, a keen eye, and a mind for figures, details, and concepts. But most importantly, and what all technology students seem to have in common, is an extraordinary curiousity about mechanical things and ways in which they can be advanced and improved. — Don Handy Building, analyzing, fitting, finishing: all play a part in the technology skills learned and practiced in Van Deusen Hall.

Photos by Steven Begleiter 99 Art Centers To get the full effect, you have to go inside. This is not, after all, front campus with its Ivy-League aspirations or the Business Building with its mirrors. This is the Art Building, and it ' s pink, sprawling, and really rather ugly. The majority of students pass it every day without a second or even a first look. The majority of students will never go inside. Inside, there are pipes everywhere, bare, dusty floors, and a lot of open space. Technically, it ' s not much better than the outside, but artistically, it ' s very functional. In fact, functional is the kindest description anyone will apply to the physical appearance of the Art Building. It provides a place to create without influencing the creative process. There is, however, a certain atmosphere within that very functional structure conducive to creation. In the first place, it smells like paint, and paint is a very exclusive smell. An artist feels at home with it, becomes accustomed to it. Then there are the translucent walls. Dr. Stuart Schar, director of Kent State ' s art program, will tell you that it ' s extremely difficult to heat or cool a see-through building. Those slight discomforts aside, there is no better way to achieve a profusion of natural light. The light fills the space, which already smells like paint, and anyone with any inclination at all can — and does — create. Anyone. People make up the remainder of the Art Building ' s special atmosphere. Jeff Fauser ' s Drawing I classes has undeclared freshmen to very declared business, history, and, of course, art majors. He stresses learning through doing, an attitude which makes this and many other courses accessible to most students. Michelle Cook, one of Fauser ' s freshmen, agrees with her instructor ' s approach. Art is one of the few indulgences I allow myself. I ' m interested in learning a skill that will give me some personal satisfaction, not in developing some elusive talent that may be required to support me. The art program offers an unusually wide spectrum of art courses which should satisfy just such indulgences. Several of the courses, including batique, drawing, painting, and sculpture can be pursued on campus. Interpretation is the first step to appreciation — George Frost, an industrial design professor, prefers an over-the-specs point of view, opposite left top. Illustration instructor Doug Unger injects a bit of his personal perspective, opposite left bottom; Julie Zaremba, graduate student in textiles and weaving, investigates repetition. Concentration and patience come into play also, as Brendan Riley, senior illustration major, bends over his work. Photos by Colin Klein 101 Gus Chan 102 Weaving and ceramics, however, have their own, off-campus facility: the Davey Art Warehouse on Water Street. The warehouse has a feeling of its own — a big, old, dusty feeling. Its location by the railroad tracks contributes immensely to the authenticity of this atmosphere. Inside, crates and boxes have been replaced by looms and kilns which occupy the bright spaces near the windows. A casual observer wandering through the third floor might be startled by the medieval sight of young women bent over hand looms, weaving to the distant hum of the potter ' s wheel. In the Art Warehouse, students combine hand and imagination in creating textiles and ceramics. Weaving a tapesty requires some concentration from Tom Minshaw, senior architecture major, opposite top.

CusChan Simine Golestaneh If the warehouse is medieval, the Lincoln Center on Gougler Street is straight from the Industrial Revolution. Outside, it looks like a delapidated little factory — or someone ' s garage. Inside, however, the only oil is on the sculptures. The center houses metal and glass-working programs as well as sculpting, but the flying chips of stone that meet you at the door and accompany you around the building will leave you with the most vivid memories. For junior Pat Smith, an art major, all the special facets of the university ' s art program have come together. I ' m very satisfied with my studies, she says with a smile. Although I realize that art is a traditionally exclusive field, I feel that I ' m learning its practical as well as creative aspects. But, she adds, I ' ll have to admit that the Art Building is not one of Kent ' s more outstanding features. So we return to the beginning. If you stubbornly refuse to sample what ' s happening inside, there is one favor you can do for yourself and for the Art Building.

Gus Chan 105 Taylor Hall All buildings were once considered houses. A church was a house of worship, a casino a house of cards, and city hall a house of government. Taylor Hall is a house of light. Buildings are the people that inhabit them. Taylor Hall is filled with journalists, architects, and photographers — all of whom use their skills to sculpt the light. They all employ apertures. The photographer ' s aperture is the lens — an image in the back of the eye. Untold numbers of his hours are spent in the darkness, so that the light of a moment can shine far into the future. Photography is a strange art. No one else except a picture-taker would spend so much time playing with different kinds of light. In news photography, the game is existing light, dealing with real people in real life situations, and trying to capture news in a split-second frame. Another photographer-type is the illustration photographer, whose specialties are studio work for advertisement and magazine illustration. This photographer differs from the news photographer in that his hours are spent indoors, in a studio. He works v«th artificial light, and artificial situations, and comes up with portraits of models and objects that emphasize reflection and highlights. Photos by Dale S. Dengerd 106 There are of course all different types of photographers, many of whom tend to take on several characteristics at o nce. The whole lot of them are closet chemists and lighting engineers, spending more time in the dark with their hands wet than Dracula. These are just some of the people who hang out in Taylor Hall. The journalists are the aperture of the public eye. It is through them that our world becomes small enough to comprehend. Their medium is the word, with which they talk of success and failure, wealth and poverty, life and death, darkness and light. In Taylor, this means the Daily Kent Stater and the Chestnut Burr. These people inhabit the first floor of Taylor with the photographers, spending many hours over their typewriters in fierce pursuit of a beast called a deadline. More so than any other personality type in Taylor, their deadlines can really end up as DEAD LINES. First there is a mysterious thing called the assignment. This is where it all begins (and for some writers, this is where it ends). Next comes the investigation : interviews, research, and hole-digging. At its best, investigation means chasing cops and robbers. But more often than not, it means sitting in an uncomfortable chair at an uncomfortable meeting for three hours. Taylor Hall is full of people working with light and focus. Senior photo-illustration major Bill Barker sets the aperture for correct exposure in studio lighting, opposite top; senior photo- illustration majors Tom Jones and Martin Dworakowski (left) examine their transparencies over a light table, opposite bottom. Working on the Daily Kent Stater can be a full-time job: senior Eric Durr puzzles over a story, top, while seniors Nancy Bowman and Ken Krause write headlines to fit the layouts, above. 107 Facts in hand, the reporter pulls up to the typewriter to write and rewrite, polish and edit. The story then passes to another journalist-type called the editor. This person makes sure that structure and semantics are correct, that facts are facts, and that the prepositions don ' t dangle too much. (When the editor is through with you, most likely you will be through with her too.) The final step is like surgery: the scalpel comes out, and the story is sliced up. In the end it all fits just right. This group of Taylorites burns lights late into the night. The architects cherish the light and the spirit that it brings to the newfound spaces that are architecture. These formers of enclosures shape and mold the captured light with apertures of glass framed by wood and steel. The fourth floor of Taylor is the architecture studio, the place where the ritual of learning about building takes place. It is here that many devotees spend the hours between lectures learning the really important lessons. Only in the studio can you become thoroughly addicted to coffee, and very poor vending machine and SDX coffee at that. It is here that the art of exact-o blade dart throwing (at caricatures of professors) is practiced to perfection. There are many lessons to be learned, and the buzz that comes from fluorescent lights is only one of them. 108 First we learn of walls, about making them stand up, sound-proof, and (to cure the public evils) graffiti-proof. Yet ours is some of them finest graffiti around, e.g., you can ' t make champagne architecture with beer-belly clients. Walls are architecture, and the apertures that are doors and windows make buildings come to life. But the really important lesson is about people: the realization that we also need friendship. It is about keeping your sanity, and the grind; about staying ahead and getting behind. Learning about light. Our worlds are full of images of people, places, and things, our lives constructions of words and space and light. We are a tired bunch, weary of the night, eyes reddened, coffee cups deadened, warriors in a sleepless fight. They are Taylorites : photographers, journalists, architects. They share a building, and they share the light. — Rick Hawksley The studio: Here the architecture students sleep standing up, drink bad coffee, and work on laborious projects. A sign, Welcome to Turtlesville, apposite lop, is part of the legend. An unnamed professor, dissatisfied with the rate at which projects were being turned in. screamed that the group worked as slow as turtles. The sign was erected in his memory — so the story goes.

The place is seductive; everyone who goes there more than twice a week is hooked. Excuses: to eat, to study close to campus (at least it isn ' t the Student Center), or to sit in the balcony and watch the line to the register. No — the real reason that one is seduced into a morning ritual of tea and breakfast is the strategically-placed pastry counter, with cheese danish, elephant ears, and other tasty delights. Donuts talk. They say, Eat me. I ' m delicious! (They do.) Very sneaky, but it has worked on the students, professors, and townies who have frequented the place for years. The two elderly ladies who work behind the counter are as much a part of the place as the booths and the sign outside. They aren ' t Mom, but you feel that it ' s something you can depend on. They will be there, September after September, morning after bleary-eyed morning. So, now you ' ve made it through the a.m. How do you slow down after a flurry of classes, for lunch? Steven Begleiter 112 The Red Radish, of course. The service is very slow (deliberately, maybe). While you sit patiently and wait to place your order, you can absorb the atmosphere and start to enjoy the change of pace. Waiting and waiting to be served, you actually relax instead of becoming annoyed, and by the time your food arrives, you can eat it thoughtfully. There are many regulars here, too. One couple, the Van Duinwyks, comes here every day since we found it in September. George, an art instructor at KSU, puts it simply: Kent, Ohio is junk food city. He and his wife Chris have always stayed away from meat and junk food. From talking with them you know that they have always given much thought to what they say or do. Often, waitresses join in with customers, discussing local politics or social trends. They care. It is a different kind of family here, an informal, unhurried sort of family that wants you to eat healthy and relax your body for awhile. And those who come here regularly become part of the family while they enjoy the food. As waiter Jere Sitko said, They leave here feeling pretty good. Maybe the day is hard and long, but you can head up to Hard Times Bar and Grill when it ' s over . . . Brady ' s for breakfast: place your order with one of the little old ladies who are so much a part of the place, opposite top left.

GusChan J ' • Fred Squillante 113 The juke box is playing a favorite melody from ten years past, and adds to a certain classy feeling. This isn ' t your ordinary bar in a college town. Nice pants are more the norm than old jeans. It isn ' t so rowdy here either, so you can carry on a conversation without having to shout over the music. A lot of couples come here. It ' s a nice place to relax with someone you don ' t see enough of. And it ' s fun to examine the old-fashioned signposts on the walls, sheets of Gay ' 90s music on the entry walls, and the Ooh-look-I-wonder-if-these-are-really- magazines-pages on the table. But you can ' t have lived in Kent very long without hearing about Jerry ' s Diner. It is timeless. Yes, that red shoebox across from the post office. The refrigerator is a genuine icebox that ' s been converted to electric; the crud in the marble countertop cracks has been there for ages; and the smell of hashbrowns never leaves the air. This is the anachronistic side of Kent. Be careful of what you say here; nonsense and bullshit will not be tolerated. If Crazy Bob doesn ' t like what you have to say, which is most of the time, he will either pour ice down your shirt, Gus Chan Hard Times is a good place for an end-of-the- day drink, with its conversation-piece decor and pleasant atmosphere.

Gus Chan 114 or tell you that It ' s been said, man. The artists, philosophers, and poets come here to hang out together, outsiders come to gawk, and the drunks stumble in when all the bars have kicked them out. Someone has put My My, Hey Hey (Out of the Blue) on the jukebox. John launches into a speech on how he doesn ' t like Neil Young, and that the song will torture him at least 25 more times before his shift is over. He declares at the end, Whoever played Neil Young is an asshole, and you can quote me on that. Greetings like that are enough to send most children of the Quiana generation out the door. Many others are uncomfortable with the less-than-sturdy stools, and the queasy are best off to stick to bagels with cream cheese if they don ' t think they can handle Jerry ' s version of home cooking. Burned out or in a bad mood, it doesn ' t matter. Finish up a long day at Jerry ' s and you will be able to clear your head enough to get to sleep and be ready to head for Brady ' s in the morning. — Lisa Schnellinger and Joan Inderhees Barb Kingsley Gus Chan 115 Johnson Hall Dorm living isn ' t really so bad, according to Johnson Hall residents. At least not when you ' ve got your own room, a nice kitchen down the hall, plus a study lounge on each floor, said senior Kim Newton. Reopened this fall as an upperclassman dorm, Johnson has encouraged juniors and seniors to remain on campus. Some even prefer it to apartment living. Particularly attractive is its central campus location. At first glance it may appear to be just like any other dorm on campus: students gathered in each other ' s rooms watching soap operas, Mork and Mindy, or anything that happens to be on — anything to avoid studying ; others playing UNO, the new college pastime, and still others just complaining about all the work they have to do. But beyond this first glance, Johnson is different. There is a more mature atmosphere; it ' s a lot quieter, junior Darlene Weinberger said, adding she is fed up with Quiet Hours not being enforced in other dorms. Living with other upperclassmen was the biggest attraction, most everyone agreed. We ' re all going through the same things; we ' re under the same kinds of pressures, art major Elizabeth Byrd said. And because everyone has their own r oom, people have to come out in the hall to be with others. We ' ve all become real close, Darlene added. That ' s where the kitchens come in handy. Besides being convenient for the majority who are off the board plan, they make a great place to congregate. Second-floor residents enjoy Sunday morning brunches, week-day dinners and even special candlelight fondues together. Johnson has definitely changed, said Don Marlowe, who used to live here when it was an all-male dorm. I can actually study in my room now. There used to be constant partying going on. Besides the difference in atmosphere, the dorm has been redecorated. Everything used to be pretty messed up. The guys didn ' t respect the place, Don said. Today, Johnson residents really care about what it looks like. Especially after spending the first two months of the semester sharing the hall with workmen who were behind every door, in every bathroom and right outside your window at eight o ' clock in the morning. Now, even the plants in the study lounge thrive. One look at the sign hanging on the wall — Plants Are Property of Floor Residents. Please Do Not Remove or Disturb. Just Enjoy — and no one cares to disturb them. They would rather just enjoy. — Judy Goldman Johnson Hall has a different atmosphere because of all-upperclass population. The kitchen is a popular get-together place, [uniors Judy Emery, a nursing major (right), and Denise Fritz, nutrition and dietetics major, stop there to talk, opposite left.

And whether you like it or not, the front desk of Tri-Towers will control the music. Monday, 7:45 a.m. After yesterday ' s all-nighter. Heavy metal music descends from above, turning your body from a dazed heap into a electro-dynamic heap. You aren ' t quite ready to answer any questions from strangers. In a building this large it is easy to become a total stranger. The huge walls of mailboxes clearly illustrate the feeling. But face it — when you live in a dormitory you are a member of an academic cattle yard, an intellectual cattle community. This image surfaces in the mind especially when standing in line at Tri-Towers cafeteria. No matter how unique your English paper was, there you are in line with a tray in your arms, buying tuna-fish with the rest of them. As people go, one interesting group of individuals to be found in Tri-Towers complex are the architecture students ... or architorture students, as they call aaaaaanssisassaoa . ■ . . ■ • : - : ■■ ' ' ■ ' • ...... . - . - . , . - . _ i mmm. .mmm ■_ «Mik _ .

To Lecbrick Hall residents they will say: Not to insult you personally, but Leebrick, by its string rectilinear plan, is symbolic of the modern industrial institution. The rooms are maladapted to human scale, and the lights do not provide nearly enough lumens. And not only that, but the doors in the hallways create a long, monotonous, solid void pattern. To fight the physical alienation that this building can produce, some people gather in small groups in the TV room or the lounge, or they play frisbee in the hallways. But the most common way of dealing with this is dramatized by the Leebrick and Koonce residents boarding buses headed out of town on the weekends. — Michael Drexler 119 Small Group Good things come in Small Groups, according to a Resident Director in the Small Group housing complex, and Lower Plaza of Small Group has four good things: Apple, Metcalf, McSweeney, and Munzenmayer, all dorms for students of particular studies. Apple and Metcalf dorms house male and female Honors College students, and are typically quieter and more conducive to studying. But the myth of the honors nerd as a bookworm with glasses and calculator is dying, according to the men of Apple, who boast of their victories in the campus steeplechases. They also excel in snowball fights, football in the hallways, broomball, ping- pong, tray-sledding, and stereo wars. Metcalf women agree that honors students aren ' t always hitting the books — pranks between Apple and Metcalf residents are common. One shaving cream and lipstick raid on Apple resulted in the cold water being turned off in Metcalf before Monday morning classes. But we are here to study, not just to party or find a husband, sophomore Jan Granieri said. Girls come back from an exam and go down the hall screaming. It ' s neat to share everyone ' s enthusiasm, she added. McSweeney Hall, the smallest dorm on campus, houses a spirited group of Photos by Fred Squillante 120 foreign language students who host foreign food dinners for French, German, and Spanish professors, travel to the Cleveland Oktoberfest, and have open coffeehouses. It ' s surprising how many musicians we have, senior Mike Casey said. Every night someone is playing the guitar. They also present the Coco Hueco award to the empty head of the week — the person who does the clutziest thing, such as tripping the fire alarm with his elbow. In Munzenmayer Hall, music is heard at all hours. During finals week, when there is silence in other dorms, Munzenmayer has mass instruments, junior Hakan Ertep said. People like to practice at night, which can be annoying, said Connie Wright, a sophomore who lives above the practice rooms in the dorm. Sometimes I awake to a bassoon at eight o ' clock on Saturday morning. Students who live in Lower Plaza remark about the unity within their dorms and on their floors. Because we are so far from main campus, we get to know each other well, Jan said. We get the small college feeling while still being a part of a big campus. — Jill Byers The Lower Plaza dorms of Small Group have their moods and their special people.

There are so many built-in distractions, there ' s a strong possibility that few of the people who live there have a GPA above 2.8. How could they? If it isn ' t the guy below you playing Rod Stewart at volume level ten, it ' s the one next door playing Born to Run six times. But it gives you a bevy of ready-made reasons not to study: I can ' t concentrate. Let ' s make fudge, or If he doesn ' t turn that damn thing down after THIS song I am going down there and demolish his speakers! Three songs later, you go downstairs and ask for a little compromise. In ten minutes, when the volume has sneaked up to its original level, you can discuss whether to go down again or just call in the Mounties (the security guards, who look like Canadian Royal Mounties with their purple pants, brown shirts and those hats.) You can easily while away an entire evening, if your mood is right and the guy downstairs co-operates. On the evenings when he is out, there are still plenty of sidetracks. You can empty the garbage, which entails a trip to the incinerator in the laundry room. That should give you enough to complain about when you get back to occupy some time — the cigarette butts in the hall, the wild party down the hall, and the wa llpaper peeling off the wall. Then there is the dishwasher, unique to Fred Squillante and Gus Chan 122 College Towers. You can spend (waste) so much time loading and unloading it, checking to see what cycle it ' s on, and speculating how much electricity you could save by turning it off before the dry cycle. But there ' s more. There is an indoor pool to delay you on evenings in spring and fall. There is Pisanello ' s when you want a beer. And there is the wonderful Stop Inn for ice cream, munchies, Twinkies, and pop. The worst distraction of all, however, is the balcony. A gorgeous fall day of 72 degrees with a slight breeze will blow through your screen and pull you over to the sliding glass door, where you gaze enviously at the people playing frisbee and then decide that reading Criminal Justice in America can wait. Even in the winter there are excuses to put things off: Oh, look, we ' ll have a snow day tomorrow for sure! Or, Let ' s go play in the snow before it gets all dirty. So, if you really hate to study and want as many distractions as possible, you ' d probably feel right at home in College Towers. If you don ' t already live there. — Lisa Schnellinger College Towers Apartments are alive at all hours of the day and night with the activities of the 800-some tenants, opposite. The distractions are many and varied here — junior nursing major Judy Kinn hopes for a snow day as the view out the balcony window seems to indicate, below, top; two other residents just had to come to Stop Inn for a snack break from studying, bottom. With the noise and the inticements to procrastinate, College Towers is hardly a library atmosphere; but some do manage to find time for studying in their own private living space. Fred Squillante Barb Kingsley 123 Pan African Studies At KSU the African American community has planted seeds, estabhshed its roots and born fruit. In 1969, the Institute of African American Affairs (lAAA) was founded upon the demands of black students wanting a place to identify with one another on campus. This was the seed. From there the sprout emerged and took root and what came forth was the Center for Pan-African Culture (CPAC) in 1972. The CPAC houses the Henry Dumas Memorial Library of material on topics related to the Pan-African community worldwide. CPAC also holds a theatre, where several plays a year by black playwrights or concerning black culture are presented. The center is also the home of the Department of Pan- African Studies, which also sprouted from lAAA. DP AS offers courses towards a degree in Pan- African Studies; lAAA serves to put the academic activities of DPAS to practical purposes, through research, academic innovation, public university service, and meeting contemporary needs of all university students. All this takes place on the first floor of Oscar Ritchie Hall, the old Student Union, renamed in 1977 for the first African American to teach at a predominantly- white institution in the state of Ohio. — Kenyette Adrine-Robinson 124 The first floor of Oscar Ritchie Hall houses a home away from home for black students — the Center for Pan African Culture. One striking feature there is the mural of the assassination of Malcolm X. The wall decorates a room of tables open for studying, and Sandra Mosley, a senior communications major, spends some time at a table there reading, opposite. The Center ' s theatre also presents several plays a year. Actors and actresses from Stagolee strike a pose, left. The Renaissance Ball honors black women at KSU, and the queens crowned represent Black United Students throughout the year. Senior Penelope Talley, below, and a woman from each of the freshman, sophomore, and junior classes were crowned black homecoming queens at the ball this year. Dave Maxwell 125 House Life So what if the living room rug is red, the couch is brown and the lamp is decidedly grandma ? There ' s no place like home (away from home). Between five people, furnishing the house was no problem. The debate came when we had to decide who would donate her stereo to the living room. Yet, even though the furniture isn ' t coordinated, the house is becoming cozy as the year moves on. The interior design major is even inviting her fellow students over. We are no longer inhibited about the appearance of a crippled loveseat which sits in the dining room with the assistance of a month ' s worth of Akron Beacon Journals. Nor do we worry about comments over a victim of destruction, an ex- kitchen chair, which is a now paraplegic amputee, and is one of the most sought-after floor chairs in the house. But it ' s the challenge of fixing up a house that gives ambitious students the itch to try their luck. Just a little elbow grease here, some Raid there, an intensive vacuuming and shampooing of rugs, and it ' ll look better than new — or at least not so old. For instance, it took more than a 12-pack and three hours to tear down the creative webbing that long-dead artistically inclined spiders had woven in our 126 cellar, which I think was the original set for Bella Lugosi ' s horror films. Also, the people who lived here before us left some pretty unique items, such as a Mickey Mouse toaster. It runs a close second to the Pinocchio waste paper basket in the bathroom that one of the present roommates donated. It is rather hard to spot in the 5 by 6 foot bathroom (2 by 4 feet of standing room, not including the sink) through the 12 bottles of shampoo and 13 bottles of cream rinse (13?). Another incidental of home life is the division of rent and the phone, gas, electric and water bills. Even more time is spent fighting over what channel should be watched on T.V. The 19-inch set, with dubious color, jumps between afternoon game shows and soap operas, news and Benny Hill. Despite the harmless prickly orange fungi and blossoming mushrooms that grow mysteriously between the shower tiles, and the shower sprayer being rigged with a length of garden hose, this house will always be home (away from home). — Marilyn Shaw Photos by Fred Squillante 127 Campus Week From reading the advertisement of the scheduled events, Campus Week 79 looked like a great time. Students had the chance to play softball with administrators, see an air showr, all-night movies, concerts, or go to a beach party. Numerous opportunities were offered to get friends together for a good time, meet other students and show school spirit. But the impression the advertisement gave and the reality of Campus Week were two different things. Many events during the festivities held May 6-12 were poorly attended, although the Dance Theatre performance and outdoor concert drew large crowds. But over all, Campus Week, sponsored by various campus organizations, is not supported by the students it is put on for, even though it is the university ' s oldest tradition. The campus event began in May 1914 from an idea of John McGilvery, president when Kent State was Kent Normal College for teaching. Since McGilvery wanted students from campus extensions to see the main campus, he announced Extension Day and invited them to Kent for festivities. Three thousand students gathered on the front lawn to hear the Glee Club and an address on theoretical and practical education. A May Pole dance with eighty-four girls in flowing white gowns capped the program. Gus Chan 128 Throughout the years different events became part of Extension Day, including an evening parade with colored lanterns. After 1930 the day was renamed Campus Day. The tradition grew and changed; but during the ' 60s students regarded the celebration with less importance. Since then Campus Day has only partially returned to being the tradition it once was. Campus Week has the potential to be an exciting campus affair but participation and enthusiasm are missing. The Kent Dance Theatre performance on the Student Center plaza introduced a good-sized crowd to modern dance through a series of short presentations. The free outdoor concert at the ice arena, meant to climax Campus Week events, featured the Guess Who. People spread blankets and relaxed to Sheriff ' s and Buckshot ' s country rock and roll tunes and Seven Miles High ' s disco music before the Guess Who ' s finale. The concert and dance performance were examples of the enthusiastic spirit that can come from gathering students together for campus-wide events. It proved that this tradition has the potential to be successful, if people realized that their participation determines its success or failure. — Alison Bashian One of the better attended programs during Campus Week was a presentation by members of the Kent Dance Theatre. Performing on the Student Center plaza, they gave Kent students a show of modern dance, below. The highlight of Campus Week was the outdoor concert featuring the Guess Who. Artful Dodgers, Sheriff and Buckshot and LandsEnd. One could easily see the enthusiasm in the crowd, opposite left. Dan McDougall of the Guess Who, opposite right, gave it his best as the group concluded not only the outdoor concert, but Campus Week as well. Dave Andersen 129 Greek Week As fraternities and sororities continue making a comeback at KSU, so too does the annual Greek Week, fast becoming a showcase for the Greek system and a highhght of the year for members. At no time is Greek pride and spirit more pronounced. The 1979 Greek Week, May 14-20, had the best participation by the fraternities and sororities in recent years. Besides being a lot of fun, Greek Week really does a great deal for the promotion of Greek life on campus — it unifies all of us, Bob Warner, president of the Intra-fraternity Council, said. An Inauguration Ball kicked off the week Monday, and Tuesday night an all- Greek party was held at the Sigma Chi Fraternity house. However, the week ' s first real competition came on Wednesday night at the Greek Songfest. The theme of the fest was musicals, and mixed teams of the most showmanlike members of the fraternities and sororities, complete with costume and choreography, vied for top honors. The Songfest drew a near-capacity audience and enthusiasm mounted quickly, with loud cheering, footstomping, and raucous howls from the upper deck. Thursday night saw another overflow audience, this time jamming the Rathskellar for the Greek Goddess contest, a mock beauty contest in which each sorority dressed up one member from an assigned fraternity. Delta Tau Fred Squillante Steve Goldstein 130 Delta and Delta Gamma teamed to win this contest. Over $200 was raised for the King-Kennedy Center, a chief philanthropy of the Greek system. A beer- chugging contest was also held, and in this longtime area of Greek reknown, Sigma Chi edged out the Phi Sigma Kappa Fraternity, but in the sorority competition the Delta Gammas easily disposed of the others. Friday was the highlight of Greek Week: Greek Parade and Greek Games. Some of the favorite games were a human pyramid-building contest, the pyramid often crumbling ignominiously as the last person clavv ' s to reach the top; a nerve-wracking egg toss, and a medley of assorted relay races. The Alpha Xis dominated the games and in the fraternity division, Sigma Chi again managed to win, but not without stiff competition from Phi Sigma Kappa and Sigma Alpha Epsilon. Friday ended with a party and corn roast. The last competition was Saturday ' s bathtub pull, with sorority girls collecting for the American Cancer Society along the way. The week closed with an awaVds banquet. Alpha Xi Delta won the sorority division and Delta Tau Delta narrowly defeated Sigma Chi among fraternities. — Don Handy Steve Goldstein 5 4 79 May 4, 1979, dawned cold and grey and damp. The crowd of the night before, the 600 who had participated in a moving candlelight parade, had dwindled to less than a dozen people. Now they stood stiffly in the cold, marking the sites where four people had died nine years earlier. Occasionally someone strolled by, perhaps wondering why people would deliberately stand around in such miserable weather. Most of the spectators appeared young — perhaps in the fifth grade nine years ago. A few, carrying cameras, paused awkwardly as they went to take a picture of those standing vigil, and of the empty parking lot in which they stood. Nine years earlier, four people had been killed here by military gunfire. Nine others were wounded. All were part of a huge crowd that had gathered on campus for several days. Some of the people were outraged by a war that few understood; others found comfort in the anarchy and optimism of the anti-war movement; still others were simply curious. But suddenly it seemed as if the universe had come crashing in. Amateur soldiers, people who were only students, fathers, sons, had killed four protestors, people who minutes earlier had been students, daughters, sons. All in the crowd had seen death before . . . but the soldiers died on the nightly news. Gus Chan t Jim Celuch 132 and their brief two-dimensional agonies were followed inevitably by the gentle reassurances of Walter Cronkite. The death at Kent State University on that May 4 was real. And it was followed, not by reassurances, but by horror, confusion, anger, and disbelief. On May 4, 1979, a handful of people gathered at Kent State to commemorate the events of that past. Those who came were drawn by much the same things which had attracted the far-larger gathering nine years ago. Some came to protest social injustice; others sought comfort and companionship; still others were simply curious. The faculty attempted to mark the day with a performance of Mozart ' s Mass in C Minor. Professors in dark caps and gowns held a processional. Dr. Bruce Harkness gave a beautiful if obtuse speech. Several hundred watched in the ballroom. The May 4 Task Force then presented Stanford Rosen, an attorney involved in the lawsuit against the government. Rosen read endlessly about the details of the just-settled suit. Benson Wohlman of the American Civil Liberties Union praised civil liberties, and drew polite applause. Top-billed radical lawyers Constance Slaughter and William Kuntsler did not appear. Only folksinger John Bassette succeeded in recapturing, for a moment, some sense of history. The audience of 500 joined in gladly in a four-song set of American folk music. Like the blind men groping with the elephant, each of the speakers, and many in the audience, sought to describe what had happened nine years earlier. Like the blind men, each came away with only a bit of the tail, an ear perhaps, or the tip of the trunk. Strain showed on faces throughout the crowd. At the end, several minor disputes broke out, one faction accusing another of selling out, or of ruining the program . . . The Revolutionary Communist Youth Brigade held a march which attracted more reporters than supporters. The day ended as people left to wander the cold, deserted campus. Reflecting on the day, I began to understand why efforts to recapture the spirit of the ' 60s were doomed to fail. The euphoria of that decade was built on the shifting sands of an illusion. Many of us — hawks, doves, hippies, straights — believed in our hearts that there were easy answers to terribly frightening questions. A few more bombs or soldiers would certainly halt the inevitable Steve Goldstein 134 decay of nineteenth century colonialism in Southeast Asia. A little marijuana and a few demonstrations would surely transform a complex and often cruel industrial society. The decade swept in with the election of John Kennedy and the promise of Camelot. Ten years later, two Kennedys and King were dead; the best and brightest of the young knights, our Lancelots and Galahads, had led us into the quagmire that was Vietnam; Camelot was in ruins. Bit by bit, the realities of the world hacked apart our optimism. The senseless killing of four students on May 4, 1970, was but yet another blow. In the nine years since, attempts were made to explain the killings at KSU in some way that would permit a return to our earlier innocence. But we had been thrust beyond our childhood into the harsh realities of human existence . . . ugly, absurd perhaps, but realities just the same. Small wonder that attempts to recapture the innocence of the ' 60s seem so attractive yet remain so futile. — Tom Wilkinson Jim Celuch Steve Goldstein 135 Homecoming Kent State ' s 50th annual Homecoming was a mixture of the old and the new, but as would befit this golden anniversary commemoration, the emphasis was more on the latter. Graduates from the classes of 1929 and 1954 were brought back by the Alumni Association and honored at the Alumni luncheon buffet Saturday, Oct. 13. The Association ' s Champagne Breakfast earlier that morning got the day ' s festivities under way. Student leaders had the chance to let alumni know the state of Kent State, and hear about how it used to be in previous years. But Saturday was just the culmination to a busy week of Homecoming. Grover Bob ' s won the annual Steeplechase, sponsored by the All-Campus Programming Board, for the fourth year in a row. Only two other teams braved the cold and rainy weather Thursday night to complete the offbeat event. Elections for Homecoming King and Queen took place during the week. And a pep rally Friday night got those in attendance primed for the upcoming game. Although the overcast, damp weather that prevailed for most of the week still persisted Saturday afternoon, a crowd of 8,435 made its way to Dix Stadium to see if the Flashes could defeat Bowling Green in a Homecoming game for the Fred Squillante Fred Squillante 136 first time in 25 years. Placekicker John Kenneweg ' s 37-yard field goal just three seconds before halftime put KSU ahead, 9-8. The ceremonies before the start of the second half were highlighted by the crowning of the Homecoming King and Queen: Jeff Johnson, 21, president of Black United Students and a telecommunications major; and Mary Pat Englehart, 20, a member of Delta Gamma sorority majoring in public relations. Unfortunately, the enthusiasm went rapidly downhill. After both teams traded touchdowns, the visiting Falcons proceeded to score twice again in a little more than seven minutes to decide the issue. The 28-17 setback, the Flashes ' sixth consecutive loss to Bowling Green, did not dampen the spirits of the Alumni Benefit Dance that evening. The music of the KSU Jazz Lab band kept the Ballroom swinging. And for people with a taste for rock music, the Kenny Loggins concert in Memorial Gym Sunday night brought Flashback Weekend to a rousing conclusion. — KenHornack Steve Goldstein Steve Begleiter 137 Halloween By the pricking of my thumbs 139 Something wicked this way comes. Shakespeare , Steve Goldstein 140 Steve Goldstein 141 BUS, COSO, KGLF: Making Progress Hidden among a maze of cubicals on tho Student Center ' s second floor are the offices of Black United Students, the Commuter and Off-Campus Student Organization, and the Kent Gay Liberation Front. They are small rooms, hut the people who work in them are working with detcirmination for causes which affect thousands of KSU students. Greg Lockheart, the soft-spoken BUS director of Social and Cultural events, explains that BUS has been an umbrella organization for campus black organizations for 11 years. To move ahead you have to focus on what has happened before, he said, referring to Think Week, in which blacks are urged to recall their historical past, and Challenge to Read, a remedial reading program sponsored by BUS. But even while; blacks are moving ahead, racism is still present. A broken window in the office attests to that.

Two-way radios and a large hunch of keys keep them company while they answer calls from headciuarters, lock up and patrol the dorms in the area they are assigned to, and escort residents from all parts of campus to their dorms.

Although Nick said, the job is pretty much routine, one of the increasingly appreciated services in that routine; is the escort service, utilized by both male and female dorm residents who would like the reassurance of another person when walking at night. Use of the service skyrocketed after reports of two violent crimes on campus, a rape and a stabbing, were publicized in October. The service is also being stressed more by resident advisors, Nick said. What they are trying to accomplish — a safer campus — is a point of pride for the security guards.

Dengerd 145 Volunteer Ambulance Service Late at night, the Heahh Center may be dark, but the basement is alive 24 hours a day. There, the Volunteer Ambulance Service crew members train, practice first aid, study for exams, eat in between meals, sleep, and watch Eight is Enough. Of course that isn ' t all they do. They may seem to be forgetting where they are and what they ' re there for. But with the cue of a radio signal, they are on their feet and in the ambulance. In a few minutes, they have put in a call to the hospital with information about a patient. An outsider may find it hard to believe that these are education majors, cri minal justice majors, advertising majors — all of them volunteers. And very well-trained volunteers, at that. The VAS has one of the best training programs around, Mary Oby, VAS member, said. After the preliminary course, the volunteers are required to take a course in Emergency Victim Care. We really try to be professional, because it ' s too easy for us to get a bad reputation, Oby said. After training, the learning continues with rookie members practicing first aid on fellow volunteers. On the job, trainees are supervised by someone of higher rank. But that isn ' t the only way they learn. After every run, the team has what they call a post mortem discussion. After their work is done, they re-live the run. 146 Every run you go on, you always think: Could I have done it better? There isn ' t any way you couldn ' t learn from every run, Oby said. The VAS has handled almost every problem imaginable. They splint fractures, treat bleeding wounds and administer CPR, and they ' ve even delivered a baby. On the job, all the training, practice and lectures come to reality when the crew is required to react quickly and very calmly. Inside the ambulance, the volunteers know their equipment, neatly packed away in the walls, underneath benches and in compartments. But on and off duty, the VAS is like a family. We ' re around each other so much, it just has to be that type of situation, Oby said. We have our private jokes and fights. It has an effect on their work, too. When you ' re close to the people you work with, things go right while you ' re working with them, she added. They work together for their number one concern: the patient. After an especially good run, one night shift worker said, they ' re on such an emotional high that it is difficult to go to sleep. Sure, they get emotionally involved, but only enough to do their job as best they can. — Diane Laney Students in VAS are trained in the treatment of emergency illnesses and accidents.

But usually when that shows up in a box score, it means no wins, either. Coach Art Welch ' s Flashes finished with an 11-26 record (2-14 in the Mid-American Conference) in one of the biggest rebuilding years since the team ' s inauguration as a varsity sport. Inexperience hindered the Flashes as the roster consisted of 14 freshmen and only three seniors. The starting pitching rotation had four regulars, along with two spot starters, all of whom were freshmen. With 18 rainouts causing a problem with gaining vital experience for the MAC Schedule, inconsistency plagued the Flashes and their coach. The offense was inconsistent, with the team batting average hovering around .200 all year. The bullpen had problems jelling and holding leads in crucial situations. The starting lineup had a new face in it everyday. Even with losing 19 games in a 20- game stretch, Welch looks to the future, waiting for experience to take hold. — Bob Parasiliti SCORES W Northern Illinois 7-1 w Bethel Baptist 5- 3 L Youngstown State 0-1 w Bethel Baptist 2- L Youngstown State 2-3 w Bethel Baptist 8- L BOWUNG GREEN 0-2 L Middle Tennessee 0- 2 L BOWUNG GREEN 0-8 L Middle Tennessee 3- 7 L TOLEDO 2-8 L CLEVELAND STATE 4- 6 L TOLEDO 3-4 W CLEVELAND STATE 1- L Ohio State 6-8 W Akron 1- L Ohio State 4-8 W Akron 9- 7 L Miami 2-8 L MARIE Tl ' A COLLEGE 3- 4 L Miami 1-8 L MARIEl ' lA COLLEGE 3-10 W Cleveland State 2-0 L Ohio 5- 7 W Cleveland State 4-3 L Ohio 1- 4 L YOUNGSTOWN STATE 4-7 L AKRON 4- 7 W YOUNGSTOWN STATE 2-1 L AKRON 2- 6 L EASTERN MICHIGAN 2-3 L Western Michigan 0- 5 W EASTERN MICHIGAN 3-2 L Western Michigan 4- 6 L CENTRAL MICHIGAN 3-7 L Northern Illinois 2-17 L CENTRAL MICHIGAN 4-6 ■ ■ H n I H H Dave Andersen 180 1 iMlHl ' - -. -♦ -.

A dual meet record of 0-6, along with an eighth place finish in the Mid-American Conference Championships, was not what coaches Al Bashian and Orin Richburg expected. Sprinter Terry Carter held the spotlight most of the season with seven first-place finishes in his specialty, the 100 meter dash. Carter ' s best time of 10.0 at the Cleveland State Relays was declared wind-aided and ruled not a record. Carter came back to post a 10.1 at the Ohio State Relays to qualify for the NCAA Championships. Carter also had KSU ' s best times in the 200 meter and 440 yard dashes. Shotputter Gene Divney also qualified for the NCAA Championships with a throw of 59 feet, five-and-three quarter inches. Divney also had KSU ' s best efforts in the hammer throw and the discus. Jud Logan turned in consistent performances in the hammer and the discus. Bill Dobbertin led the KSU hurdlers with the best times in the 110 meter, 440 yard and 400 meter intermediate hurdles. A bright spot for KSU is the return of almost the entire team. KSU had only four seniors on the roster last year. — Curtis T.

The 6-feet one inch. 190- pound native of Mansfield, Ohio, was consistent in winning the 100 meter dash. Carter ' s performance was not only pleasing to his coaches, but also a surprise to himself. I was very pleased with the way I ran, he said. 1 was surprised with the way I ran, but I think I could have put more into it. A season best time of 10.1 in the 100-meter dash at the Ohio State Relays earned Carter a spot in the NCAA Championships. A time of 10.4 in the qualifying heat was not good enough for him to make the finals. Dedication and hard work have made Terri Byland the best women ' s discus thrower in KSU history as a freshman. With a best toss of 144 feet, two inches, she broke the school record and qualified for the AIAW National Championships where she finished 27th. Byland, who is from Crestwood High in Mantua, Ohio, started throwing the discus in high school. Track coach Al Bashian said she was getting good distance but she had poor technique. Coach Bashian showed me everything about technique, Byland said. She ' s an excellent learner, Bashian said. Terri has a real appetite for hard work. Gene Divney fits the typical Gentle Giant role. His six feet three inch, 250 pound statue presents him as awesome and intimidating, but his personality is congenial to everyone. Divney, from Dublin, Ireland, throws the discus, the hammer and the shot put for the KSU track team. Last year, he qualified for the NCAA Championships in the shot put with a toss of 59 feet, five and three- quarter inches in the Central Collegiate Meet, in which he finished second. When Gene came here, he was a pretty accomplished thrower, said coach Al Bashian. All I did was help him with his fine points. — Curtis T. Clingman Dave Andersen 189 Dale S. Dengerd 190 In its second year of existence, the Lacrosse Club came across many of the same troubles it found in its inaugural season. Most of the teams on its schedule were more experienced, and this was reflected in the club ' s 3-8 record. Within its division, however, Kent had its share of success. Wins over Miami (10-5) and Toledo (8-6, 13-7) were almost enough to take a division title. But in a game played in a downpour during the final quarter, Ohio University edged Kent, 9-8. as the club settled for a second-place finish. Like the year before, Kent was led in scoring by Mark Jewett, Tom Jewett and Ron Smith, and anchored in goal by the strong play of Paul Turevon. Player-coach Paul Auyer said the team improved as the season progressed. He was particularly pleased with the play of Clipper hockey players who had never played lacrosse before last spring, such as Brad Bishop. How well they will do next year will surely be evident, because Auyer, the Jewetts, Smith and Turevon were all lost through graduation. — Ken Hornack Dale S. Dengerd 191 Men ' s Rugby Give blood. Play Rugby. Certainly, this saying applied to the men ' s rugby team last spring. But you ' ve also got to give in order to get something, and the club ' s efforts were rewrarded w ith a 4-2-1 regular season record. Losses to Eastern Michigan and Ohio University in the Mid- American Conference Tournament evened up their overall mark, but it was still a vast improvement from the 2-9 record posted the previous spring. Victories came at the expense of Oberlin (32-9), Ravenna (9-3), Lake County (13-3) and the Ohio State B team (10-4). — Ken Hornack Mi Steve Goldstein Gus Chan 192 ■ • Ir )dle S.

They take it on themselves to work hard, and that improves the team and themselves. — Jim Horvath 195 Golf All the planning was there, but something went wrong in the works. Throughout the season, the 1979 Flash golf team was in the middle of a constant battle among senior leadership, inexperience and consistency. Fortunately for KSU, the golfers had the leadership, but unfortunately the inexperience won out. First year coach Herb Page led his team down to the Bahama Islands with hopes of gaining experience for the starting team with the help of seniors Doug Hanzel, Ned Weaver, and Dan Muller. In the early going, the extra effort looked as if it would pay off. The Flashes were runners-up in three of the first four tournaments they played in. But soon, expectations of a championship team soured and all the senior leadership in the world couldn ' t straighten the problem out. Inconsistency took its toll and each golfer ' s season average soared above the one they owned for a career. The final disappointment came when the Flashes finished eighth in the Mid-American Conference Championship. — Bob Parasiliti 196 Photos by Gus Chan m 197 Men ' s Tennis For the first time since 1973, the KSU men ' s tennis team had a successful season. Despite placing eighth in the Mid-American Conference Tournament, the Flashes posted a 10-8 mark, the best since the 12-6 slate six years ago. New coach Tom Katovsky ' s tennis philosophy stressed the process of playing rather than winning, and this change was one of the main reasons for the turnaround in the KSU tennis program. You just have to concentrate on the process and the result will take care of itself, said Katovsky. Another reason for the success was the addition of freshman Len Simard, the Flashes ' number four singles player. Simard compiled an impressive 13-5 singles record and teamed up with number two singles man Tony Debo to post a 14-4 doubles mark. Besides Simard and Debo, the netters received steady play from number one player Chris Moore, number three Kevin O ' Connell, number five Bill Robertson and number six Mike Lannan. — Jim Timoteo Jim Celuch SCORES L Virginia Tecli L Miami L Kalamazoo W NORTHERN KENTUCKY W Edinboro L Penn State L Bowling Green W Eastern Michigan W Malone 1-8 W Toledo 6-3 0-9 L Western Michigan 0-9 2-7 W NORTHWOOD INSTITUTE 6-3 8-1 W CENTRAL MICHIGAN 6-3 6-3 W AKRON 8-1 2-7 W WAYNE STATE 7-2 4-5 W Northern Illinois 5-4 6-3 L Ball State 3-6 9-0 L Ohio 1-8 198 In a season highlighted by a 12- match winning streak, the women ' s tennis team put together the finest season in KSU history.

After that rough start, we played extremely well, said second year coach Jan Sholes. It was definitely a successful season. Besides Tooke and Beachy, the Lady Flashes were paced by number three player Sue Panyi, number four Grace Marasigan, number five Laurene Heinsohn, and number six players Sue Weimer, Jenny Arkett and Joanne Trbovich. — JimTimoteo Women ' s Tennis M.B.Camp SCORES L MIAMI 1-8 L OHIO 4-5 W EASTERN MICHIGAN 5-4 Sin- f . rirney W MALONE 941 W OBERLIN 8-1 W Cuyahoga Community 8-1 W CEDARVILLE 9-0 W Toledo 5-4 W Cincinnati 6-3 W MOUNT UNION 9-0 W Case Western 9-0 W Bowling Green 6-3 W Akron 8-1 W Bowling Green (OAISW) 5-4 L Ohio State (OAISW) 04 199 Football Dave Maxwell Steven Begleiter 200 Flash football, 1979. It was a season that some would like to forget, but it was a season that many will remember for a long time. The Flashes were 1-10 in a rebuilding year that never really found any foundation, due to injuries and inexperience. But the thing that will make the 1979 season stand apart from seasons past is its pageantry and politics on the sidelines and the outside of Dix Stadium. Meeting challenges was a hobby of Coach Ron Blackledge ' s that became his trademark. But this soon became his curse as the season opened with a lifetime of challenges just waiting at the front door. Blackledge ' s first problem was to put together a workable unit from the only team in the Mid-American Conference that didn ' t have an all- league player from the previous year. As in any season opener, 11,485 fans came out in full force to see a revamped but inexperienced Flash team take on Eastern Kentucky. The outcome of that game was to act as the underlying theme in a domino effect season. Though the Flashes lost, 17-14, they played an exciting, wide open game that had been lacking during the previous season. One play that stood out in that loss was a 100-yard kickoff return by junior Norman Warren. It was to be recorded as the longest return in KSU history, eclipsing the old mark of 98 yards held by Orin Richburg, now a KSU track coach. The return wasn ' t enough to win the game, but it made Warren only the fourth player in MAC history to perform the feat. Flash coaches found quarterback Jeff Morrow and installed an invention called the forward pass. This gave the Flashes a new look offense, scrapping the veer from the year before. Gus Chan 201 In the beginning loss, fans were able to tolerate mistakes because the team seemed to be more exciting and needed more time to develop. But the honeymoon would soon be over. If the team had believed in omens, the Flashes never would have taken the field in 1979. For all intents and purposes, the KSU marching band was benched and made into a sitting pep band, preventing it from doing a normal show due to a lack of funds, participants, and interest. In game two, the Flashes traveled to the Rubber Bowl to reopen the KSU-Akron rivalry. Fans gave the team a second chance as they followed the team to Akron. Though the game was called the Rival-Revival, it didn ' t do much to revive the Flashes. The defense was constantly on the field, the offense was unable to move the ball, and the mistakes sealed the Flashes fate in a 15-13 defeat. The problems became as much a continuing saga as a soap opera. Inconsistency became as much a problem as injuries, especially on the offensive line. The front line suffered nagging injuries that would keep the players like Kurt Pakan out of one game now and then, and the crippling type that kept left guard Terry Kindling out for the season. It soon became evident that the main focus of attention at home football games would be the stands instead of the game. More and more interest was being directed to the stands before, during and after the plays as it seemed to be where all the action was. In the north endzone, the O-Zone got more and more recognition. It was a group of students which included the Dunbar marching Kazoo band, fraternities, sororities and others which could ' ve been likened to vagabond partiers who found a home in the Dix Stadium stands. Fred Squillante 202 As the season wore on, it began to look like the Flashes were only able to play 30 minutes of football. KSU would play opponents for the first half and would be leading or trailing by a few points at the half. But the second half was another story as shown in the Ball State game. The Flashes trailed the defending MAC champs, 14-10, at the half. Dreams of an upset fizzled in the second half as Ball State scored three more touchdowns for a 35-10 victory. The script of the season was written. The Flashes were in for many more angonizing losses. Gus Chan Fred Squillante Fred Squillante 203 Dale S. Dengerd The Flashes were to become a homecoming favorite as they played in four consecutive homecoming games, including KSU ' s 50th anniversary game against Bowling Green. All but one were losses, that being an 18-13 win at Western Michigan, the team ' s only win of the season. The Flashes headed for Western Michigan sporting an 0-4 record. The record wasn ' t causing half as much problems as trying to stop the option attack of the opponent ' s offense. Whenever an option play was run, it struck fear into the hearts of the Flashes and success into the opponent ' s offensive totals. Dale S. Dengerd 204 At Western Michigan, it looked as if the Flashes were in for more of the same as they trailed the Broncos 10-7 at halftime. As a matter of fact the only offense the Flashes produced was a 91 yard kickoff return by Warren which tied the game at seven. After KSU ' s John Kenneweg traded field goals with WMU, KSU trailed 13-10 in what looked to be agonizing loss number five. With 1:16 left in the game, Morrow teamed up with receiver Bob Whitt on a 12 yard scoring toss. Combined with a Whitt to John Armstrong conversion pass, the Flashes took home their first, last and only hurrah, 18-13. Back home for KSU ' s homecoming against Bowling Green, one of the most prevalent groups among the 8,035 in the stands was the Card Section. The Card Section sat in section five of the bleachers and grew in number at each game. Led by George Levermore, an advertising student, and his assortment of signs, the Card Section led fans in cheers that not even the cheerleaders would touch. One of the band ' s choruses of In Heaven There Ain ' t No Beer was often changed to pursue them, pursue them. Make them relinquish the ball by the section. Gus Chan 205 Later in the season, the challenges would overflow from the field into the locker room and seep outside the stadium right before the Central Michigan-Parents ' Day game. A week of tension began as the Black Leadership Council voted to boycott and protest the game because of racial discrimination on campus, especially in the athletic department and on the football team. The council urged black players not to play in protest of the large amount of black talent that had been standing dormant on the sidelines. Supportive of the situation but confused, the black players met Photos by Fred Squillanle 206 with Blackledge on the Thursday night before the game and voted not to boycott in order to play the game with CMU. That Saturday, four players — Mike McQueen, Keith Elam, Kevin Hockett and Warren Love — chose not to dress for the game in order to join 150 blacks in a march from the Student Center to the stadium in protest of discrimination against blacks. The Flashes trailed only 17-7 at the half to the eventual MAC champs, but the bottom dropped out again — not only for the game, but the rest of the season as well, as KSU lost, 44-21. After the game, Blackledge suspended the four players who decided to boycott the CMU game. They missed the final three games, games which the Flashes lost. The Flashes had sole possession of last place in the conference. In the final home game of the season against Miami, Bob Wallace ' s 500th career tackle, safety Bill St. Pierre ' s two interceptions and Dave Bouldin ' s best career rushing game went for naught in a 35-8 loss. As for omens, the Flashes should take heart. There will be a marching band next year. — Bob Parasiliti SCORES L EASTERN KENTUCKY 14-17 L Akron 13-15 L BALL STATE 10-35 L Ohio University 13-43 W Western.

Five of those losses were by one goal, while another was a 10-1 thrashing at the hands of national powerhouse Cleveland State. The team improved its scoring capabilities, but slacked off a bit on defense, according to Shemory. Shemory plans an expansion of sorts for the KSU soccer program in the future, with practices to be held during the off season for working on team and individual skills. The top scorer for the Flashes was Frank Guglielmelli with seven goals, while he and teammates Nicki Milicevic and Tim Richardson had a total of seven points each.

According to Coach Judy Devine, losing five starters from that squad and some key injuries this season hurt the Lady Flashes. I was surprised, though, that we didn ' t do better this year, although half the squad was new, she said. The team did have some outstanding players, including Susie Jensen, a senior who set the all-time KSU scoring record of 64 goals in four years. Other strong performances came from the three n m c % .

During mid-season, Devine changed strategies in the offense and defense, enabling the Lady Flashes to outscore their opponents, 34-9. At the state tournament, Devine said the competition was evenly matched, even though Ohio State was ranked 20th in the nation. Both semi-final games went into overtime, and that showed what a close tournament it was, she said. — Norbert Hobrath w MARIETTA 4-0 T W w T Ohio University Goshen College Wheaton College Lake Forest 1-1 1-0 1-0 0-0 L L Michigan State Southern Illinois 0-1 0-3 L KENYON 0-1 L MICHIGAN 0-2 L L Bowling Green Denison 1-2 0-3 W Oberlin 6-0 L Wooster 0-1 L Ashland 0-1 W Cedarville 3-0 W YOUNGSTOWN STATE 6-0 W TOLEDO 3-0 W W Cleve.

The season started strong with KSU pushing Ohio State to five games in the opener, only to lose, 2-3. Yet a tougher schedule and an increased number of tournaments proved too much for the Lady Flashes. Coach Jan Sholes expressed disappointment wdth some team members ' values and attitudes. There is no room for mistakes in this game, especially with a bad attitude. The result is instant, she said. Sholes had praise for some of her players, including Terri Byland and Leisa Coleman. Byland received the most improved award because, according to Sholes, Terri came in and did a real fine and steady job for us. The season highlight for the team was its first trip to Windsor, Canada, to play in the Can- Am Invitational. It was nice to go somewhere different, and we played well as a team, said Sholes. Next year looks better for the Lady Flashes, and with an intensive recruiting program, Sholes hopes to field a stronger team. — Norbert Hobrath Photos by Steve Goldstein I 212 SCORES L Ohio State 2-3 W WRIGHT STATE 3-1 W Duke 2-0 L Miami 0-2 L Central Florida 0-2 L Cleveland State 0-2 L Mt.

We had some good additions to our team this year and did a good job at regionals, said Richburg. With most everybody returning next year, I ' m looking forward to a good season. — Jim Horvath 216 m 217 Hockey The 1979-80 season won ' t be one the KSU hockey fans will soon forget. Unleashing an offense that averaged over eight goals a game, the Clippers compiled a 25-9-2 record — a vast improvement from 1978-79 mark of 13-13. We were very fortunate to land some top players from the Cleveland area, first-year coach Doug Ross said. Included in the victories were 23-0 and 19-0 whitewashings of the University of Cincinnati here in early February. Leading the potent offense was Doug Hauser, a freshman from Brookpark. Hauser broke the records for most goals (50), assists (56) and points (106) to be named Most Valuable Player at season ' s end. Also breaking a scoring record was Zane Reid, a sophomore from Toronto, Ontario. Reid had 67 points by a defenseman, and was named Most Valuable Defensive Player for 1979-80. Senior Brad Bishop ' s contribution of 35 goals, 31 assists for 66 points won him the Most Valuable Forward award, and freshman goaltender Dave Binnie was named rookie of the year. Binnie had a 10-5-1 record for the 218 Clippers in the nets. Also increasing in 1979-80 were attendance and games played. According to ice arena reps, attendance to Clipper games increased well over 100% from last year; and 36 games were played this season as opposed to 26 in 1978-79. The real key to last season was that they hired Doug as the first full- time coach the Clippers have ever had, Mitch Korn, assistant coach, said. That, and the fact that everybody worked harder on promoting the squad really gave this program some respectability. — Duane Smith SCORES w CLEVELAND JR.

Dengerd 219 Men ' s Basketball Dale S. Dengerd Dale S. Dengerd 220 For the first time in a number of years, the Kent State men ' s basketball season was previewed optimistically. Second-year head coach Ed Douma had taken over a 6-21 team in 1977-78 and transformed it into a 13- 14 squad in 1978-79. Talk began to circulate about breaking the .500 mark in 1979-80, and even qualifying for the Mid-American Conferences ' first post-season tournament. Most of the talk proved valid as the Flashes raced to a 5-1 start, losing only to powerful Illinois. Then, with KSU sailing along at 7- 5 and 2-2 in the league, junior forward Doug Lane was discovered to be academically ineligible. The oversight in the registrar ' s office meant the Flashes had to forfeit six of their victories and fall to 1-11 and 0-4. It was at this point in the season that the KSU fans realized they had a winner. Instead of folding, the Flashes responded to the forfeit disaster by reeling off nine wins in their remaining 14 regular season games. The deceiving 10-16 overall record and 7-9 conference slate was good enough for a fourth-place finish and a berth into the MAC tourney, where the Flashes were stopped in the first round by Ball State 73-71. No single player was responsible for the turn-around by the Flashes, but one man who played a big role during the flurry was senior forward Trent Grooms. Grooms established himself as one of the most prolific players in KSU history by becoming the only player in the Flashes 67 years of basketball to score more than 1,000 points and grab more than 1,000 rebounds in a career. The 6 ' 7 senior was selected by the MAC coaches to the all-MAC first team as well as being chosen to the. All-Midwest team by the Sporting News magazine. GusChan 221 Grooms led the conference in rebounding for the second consecutive season with a 12.3 average which placed him in the top ten nationally. He was also the leading scorer for the Flashes with a 16.2 clip. If there was one positive aspect about the loss of Lane, it was that the Flashes were able to discover the talents of freshman Rob Koch. Koch, a native of Kenton, was thrust into the starting lineup for the final 16 games, where he averaged 12 points per contest. The 6 ' 7 forward was the only other player besides Grooms to be recognized by the league in post- season awards. He was chosen as an Dale S. Dengerd Dale S. Dengerd honorable mention to the MAC team. Koch, however, was not the only freshman to star for the Flashes this season. Guard Robert Kitchen just about rewrote the record books for KSU freshman. The 6 ' 4 backcourter set four KSU marks, including most points by a freshman (13.1), most minutes played by a freshman (998) and most steals in a season (67). Kitchen, who is from Muskegon Heights, Mich. (Douma ' s home town also), posted personal highs of 25 points against Illinois and 26 points against Ohio University. While Kitchen anchored the outside game for the Flashes, the inside load was carried by Grooms and center Harvey Daniels. Daniels was the team ' s top percentage shooter from the field wdth a 47 per cent mark. Even though Daniels had the team ' s sharpest shooting eye, his biggest contribution to the team was his role in the Flashes ' full-court press. The 6 ' 8 pivotman was stationed on the man inbounding the ball and often triggered a flurry of KSU points with his ball-hawking defense. In the Flashes most memorable win of the year, a 83-73 thumping of powerful Toledo, Daniels came off the bench to score 16 second-half points to secure the victory. Dave Maxwell 223 Gus Chan It was this game and Daniel ' s clutch performance that started the Flashes on their stretch run for the playoffs. The victory, over a Rocket team that had posted a 10-1 record, came in front of more than 5,000 Banner Day fans. Perhaps the most promising aspect of the Flashes 1979-80 season was the play of their youthful backcourt. Led by two freshman and two sophomores, Douma ' s guards were expected to crack from inexperience imder pressure. However, first-year man Geoff Warren and sophomores Kenny Howell and Jeff Hans Gus Chan 224 answered the call when the heat was on. In three of the Flashes nail-biting must wins Howell and Warren were put to the test at the foul line, and both players responded by icing the victories, assuring KSU of a playoff berth. Despite the loss of the opening round game of the tournament to Ball State, the fact remains that Douma had taken a team with a 6-21 record, and in just two seasons built their on-court record to 16-11 — the best season mark in 29 years. — Jim Timoteo SCORES W NIAGARA L Illinois W EASTERN MICHIGAN W TOWSON STATE W OTTERBEIN W CLEVELAND STATE L Akron L Nevado Reno W East Carolina W Eastern Michigan L Toledo L NORTHERN ILLINOIS W Ball State 82-65 W MIAMI 68-61 65-74 W Western Michigan 70-69 67-59 W OHIO 85-76 74-67 L Central Michigan 71-73 77-71 L BOWLING GREEN 66-80 79-76 L Ohio 57-67 67-68 W NAVY 66-52 60-85 L Northern Illinois 60-62 73-72 W TOLEDO 83-73 63-62 W ROBERT MORRIS 96-63 65-81 W BALL STATE 74-68 61-67 L Miami 86-90 67-65 W WESTERN MICHIGAN 65-61 Fred Squillante 225 Women ' s Basketball It may have taken an entire season to realize it, but the KSU women ' s basketball team finally found out that the older green can be as much an asset as liability. On day one of the 1979-80 season, green appeared in the form of inexperience as only five of coach Laurel Wartluft ' s players were returning from last year ' s 23-8 team. Out of the seven newcomers, six were freshmen and one was a junior Dale S. Dengerd 226 transfer, but all had to learn a new system. But by the end of the season, that shade of green turned from inexperience into the opponent ' s jealousy as everyone was accustomed to the system, and the once-missing bench strength was the talk of Columbus during the state tournament. We impressed our opponents with our depth, Wartluft said after her team finished fourth in the state with a 21-8 record. A lot of coaches were green with envy when they told me they wish they had a bench team as strong as ours. Reflecting back over the beginning of the season, a 21-8 record looked like an impossible dream. First, the Lady Flashes had no seniors that could offset the new youth movement of the team. Second, two of the team ' s record holders, Kathy Tedrick and Margie Zezulewicz, were not returning, taking away from a once-potent defense. The Lady Flashes were embarking on the toughest schedule in their history, for a team using youth as its middle name. They were set on the bench as Wartluft was set to pull all the strings, but the leadership on the floor was going to be left up to a junior. Dale S. Dengerd Steve Goldstein 227 Fred Squillante The junior was Darlene Wolfe, returning as one of the Lady Flashes ' top scorers from last year. Her leadership was needed to keep the offense on track — along with the help of Bonnie Beachy, a sophomore who seemed to be able to put the ball in from anywhere, and Leah Magestro, another returnee who was KSU ' s Cool Hand Luke when it came to dealing off assists. The season was on. KSU came out of the gate with the three backline returnees, with the youth kick also represented. Starting in the two center spots were Cheryl Nannah and Vicki Smith, a pair of freshmen who added quickness to the lineup. Fred Squillante 228 We want to be able to rebound and fastbreak, Wartluft said of using the smaller, quicker pair over the taller, seasoned power pair of Tanya Corbett and Robin Scheaf. Later she would find out one twosome would complement the other. The leadership, scoring, and most importantly youth, were showcased for the first time against Bowling Green in the first game, and the Lady Flashes came away looking as if they were in mid-season form. The final result was an 82-62 win, and everyone had a hand in it. Youth spoke out as Nannah had 11 points and Smith added 13. But what set it all off was Beachy ' s 18 points and 12 rebounds. The Lady Flashes were in the flow. Toledo was the next victim, after the Flashes lost to the Dayton Flyers. A turning point in the season came in the fourth game, when KSU lost to the Miami Redskins 69-65 in a pressure-packed game. The loss didn ' t discourage Wartluft. Miami has played tight games before and this was our first one, Wartluft said. I though we handled it well. Well wasn ' t the word for it. Nannah scored 17 points and pulled down 18 rebounds in only her fourth game. This well-played loss was just the start of something big. Gus Chan 229 After Miami, the Lady Flashes went on a 10-game winning streak, which included two wins over Akron, the championship of the Lady Flashes ' own Holiday Classic, and resounding wins over Youngstown State and Cleveland State. The highpoint came when the Lady Flashes knocked off Central Michigan, one of the class teams of that state. The women were on top of their game and defeated a tough defensive club by 19 points. The string of wins ended as KSU was unable to hold a lead at halftime against Western Michigan. KSU boasted a 14-3 record with nine games left on the schedule. The Lady Flashes dropped three of the next five games, including Ohio State and Cincinnati, to make their once-sure seed in the state tournament somewhat questionable. When the offense was faltering, KSU relied on defense to get them back in the playoff picture. The Lady Flashes ' pressure person-to-person defense took opponents Youngstown State, Purdue and Indiana State and put KSU into the fourth seed in the state tourney. We got what we deserved, Wartluft said about the seedings. We had three losses to Ohio State, Cincinnati and Miami who are all ahead of us, but we beat Indiana State by 15 points. The stage was set for a possible State Tournament winner coming from KSU but they dropped two of three games and ended up fourth in the state. Wartluft had mixed emotions on the year. We had two freshman starters and still won 72 per cent of our games, Wartluft said. We got the school ' s second-best season ever. We had a team that could have done it, she said. We didn ' t do as well as I would have liked to in the tournament. But in the words of the coach — there ' s always next year. — Bob Parasiliti Dave Maxwell 230 SCORES w L W Bowling Green Dayton TOLEDO 82-62 64-81 82-49 L Miami 65-69 W W John Carroll DEFIANCE 91-58 71-52 W BALL STATE 84-59 w Akron 74-62 w AKRON 53-45 w YOUNGSTOWN 66-45 w OHIO STATE 64-43 w w West Virginia Cleveland State 64-54 56-44 w L w Central Michigan Western Michigan ASHLAND 81-62 60-63 77-50 w WRIGHT STATE 72-56 w MARSHALL 65-59 w Clarion 77-51 L Edinboro 48-56 W L Slippery Rock Ohio State 62-43 53-71 L CINCINNATI 53-60 W W Youngstown Purdue 64-56 69-61 W Indiana 66-53 W Cleveland State 70-55 L Ohio State 57-69 L Miami 61-80 Dave Maxwell 231 Wheelchair Basketball If one was asked to name the winningest sports team at KSU in the last five years, they may reply with swimming, wrestling, etc. They ' d all be wrong. The Wheelchair Flashes basketball team has been in existence for five years and has lost only two games in that span. Sponsored by Student Caucus, the Wheelchair Flashes have played such formidable opponents as: Dunbar Hall, Ray ' s Place, the Intramural Department and arch- rival Campus Bus Service. Photos by Dale S. Dengerd 232 The Black United Students, the Daily Kent Stater, and a rematch with the Campus Bus Service were other games opponents scheduled during the year. The competition is why I participate, said team captain Mark Terry. A lot of disabled students don ' t get active enough on campus, and this gives them a chance to participate in an organized club activity. Members of the team included Terry, Bill Nester, Alan Burgess, Mark Connely, Phil Bumb, Joe DeChant and Rich Clark. According to Ernie Roger, President of Students of Mobility, the club was formed to break down attitude barriers that exist in the Kent community, and make it aware that we are people, and as people, we have certain needs. The club also made plans to enter the wheelchair basketball tournament in Columbus. The Flashes finished third in the tournament in a prior appearance. — Duane Smith 233 Wrestling Four things seem certain in life: life, death, taxes and the fact Kent State will win the Mid-American Conference wrestling title. The 1979-80 wrestling season saw the Golden Flashes win their fourth consecutive MAC crown and send four grapplers to the NCAA, championship meet held at Oregon State University. Only one other school has ever won as many as four consecutive MAC crowns in wrestling. Ohio University turned the trick, with seven straight, from 1970-76. Despite having to replace such dependable wrestlers as Harold Cochran, Pete Houghtaling and Ron Michael, now an assistant coach, KSU finished the season with a 10-5 dual meet record, 6-2 in the MAC. Beginning practice in mid-October in a new practice facility located in the Memorial Gym Annex, the Golden Flashes got off to a sluggish start, losing their first two matches to Michigan and Auburn. Both are considered to be of national caliber. After the opening losses, the wrestlers traveled to the Northern Illinois Invitational, where they swept four matches, including a 42-0 whitewashing of Marquette and a 26- 10 win over Big Eight foe Nebraska. Following an MAC loss to Miami, which dropped their record to 4-3, 3i Gus Chan 234 the Flashes followed with a 49-0 drubbing here against Eastern Michigan. In the first-ever KSU Invitational, the Flashes went 2-2. dropping their second MAC meet to Western Michigan, while losing to Auburn, ranked 10th nationally at the time. Despite the fact that they won their final three meets of the season, against Bowling Green, West Liberty and Toledo, Gray expressed some displeasure. We didn ' t look good at all, Gray said after the February 9 Toledo meet, a 24-19 KSU win. If we want to win the MAC again, we have to make a lot of improvement in the next few weeks. Improve they did, rolling past an over-matched West Liberty squad, including four KSU pins, and a 33-6 superior decision by Steve Reedy at 158 pounds. Going into the MAC meet at Ball State, several questions had to be answered if KSU had to retain its title. Could Eugene Leonard, who had vwestled most of the season at 118, wrestle well enough at 126 to place? Would the 142 pound weight class again hurt KSU ' s chances? Five wrestlers had combined for a 6-15-1 record from that weight class during the season. -Ht Fred Squillante 235 And would the physical ailments that Steve Reedy (pulled muscle), John DiFeo (illness) and Bob Stas (shoulder) had, going into the meet, hamper them? Those questions were answered as KSU tallied 7VA points to easily outdistance second place Ohio University (54% points) and third place Miami ' s 49 points. I ' m real happy with the win, Gray said afterwards. On paper, we were good for third or fourth, but the kids really busted their tails because they didn ' t want to be the group that ended the title string. The Flashes took two first places and three seconds. Ray Wagner retained his MAC heavyweight title, and became the first KSU wrestler ever to be named the tournaments outstanding wrestler. Eugene Leonard, at 126, won when his opponent disqualified, to take the other first-place medal. Taking seconds were: Steve Reedy (158 pounds). Bob Stas (177 pounds), and Steve Lucas (190 pounds). Fourth-place finishers were Casey Wludyga at 150 pounds, and John DiFeo at 167 pounds. Steven Begleiter 236 Wagner, Leonard, Reedy and Lucas all advanced to the NCAA championships, but were eliminated early. Outstanding records were posted by several individuals on the squad. Among them were: 118 pounder Doug Drew (16-5), Leonard (17-5), Casey Wludyga at 150 (20-10-1), John DiFeo, 167 pounds (21-12), Reedy (13- 1-1 in dual meets), Lucas (18-4-1) and Wagner (18-4-1). Bob Stas, the squad ' s only senior closed out his season with a 14-4 record. The soft-spoken industrial arts major had an overall record of 59-17 in his four years at KSU, with three second-place finishes in the MAC, and one third-place finish. The following wrestlers received awards at the end of the season: outstanding freshman, Darrell McNair (142 pounds), most improved, Steve Lucas, captains awards went to Stas, Reedy and Lucas, most dedicated, Leonard and Lucas, outstanding wrestler, Ray Wagner, and the outstanding senior award.

Gary Mauks was named as the new coach, succeeding five-time MAC coach of the year Tod Boyle, who quit last spring. Arriving too late to recruit seriously, Mauks found his squad further diluted when two swimmers were declared academically ineligible, one was married and two quit the squad prior to the season. Despite this, the tankers fashioned a 3-4 dual meet record, 2-2 in the MAC. Though relinquishing their MAC title by finishing fourth in the conference meet at Bowling Green, the squad broke four school records and two MAC records during the year. In the 100 backstroke, Phil Marsom broke a conference and school record with his effort of :52.47. Marsom was also part of the 400 medley relay team of Chris Hammeren, Jeff Leonard and Dave Back that broke a KSU and MAC record with a time of 3:29.7. Breaking school records were Leonard in the 200 butterfly (1:53) and the 400 freestyle relay team of John Hinkel, Pat McGuire, Marsom and Dave Back. — Duane Smith.

A 2-4 dual meet record, and seventh-place finish out of nine teams in the Ohio Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for women meet could have fooled anyone. Yet, with a squad made up primarily of underclassmen, 11 record times were recorded in events. The women swam well, first- year coach Gary Mauks said. They never gave us anything less than total effort. Getting off to a sluggish start, the women never saw victory till their sixth meet, an 82-55 win over Ohio University. One of Mauks ' prize catches was freshman Gretchen Weisenberg. The Hudson native broke school records in the 50-yard freestyle, 100- yard freestyle and 50-yard backstroke. Another freshman, Kathy Gorman, shattered school marks in the 500- yard and 1,650 freestyle. Betsy Burwell (100-yard and 200- yard backstroke) and Bernadine Linkfield (50-yard and 100-yard breaststroke) also broke school times. In addition, the 200 medley relay and 200 free relay set records. — Duane Smith SCORES L MIAMI 59-81 T Cleveland State 70-70 L WRIGHT STATE 48-76 L SUPPERYROCK 37-68 W W L Ohio University Alleghany BOWUNG GREEN 82-55 76-64 28-112 Photos by Gus Chan 241 Men ' s Gymnastics Rewarding was the word used by head coach Rudy Bachna to describe this year ' s men ' s gymnastics team ' s season. Four men placed in the Tenth Annual Great Lakes League Championships, a much better showing than last year ' s lone finalist. Graduating senior Tom Prochnow placed sixth on floor exercises, and last year ' s finalist Mike Aquino placed seventh. Losing his shoe during his double twist dismount knocked him out of first place. Denny Fortunato came in fourth on rings and Brice Biggin placed 242 sixth on vault. Bob Wood and Dean Henry, the only other two seniors, finished seventh and ninth respectively in the all-around out of 42 entries. The Flashes scored a 204.50 for another fifth-place finish in the league, but it was a much better performance that last year, Bachna said. The second-through fifth-place teams scores were grouped very closely with second-place Northern Michigan receiving a 21.45, only 11.95 points above Kent. This year the men have changed from a level 1 competition to level 3, which is the Olympic finals competition. Five scores are now figured rather than four. The Intercollegiate Gymnastics League is trying to elevate the level of gymnastics in this country, men ' s coach Terry Nesbitt said. According to Bachna, the men ' s team has improved. Raising their level of performance, they finished the season with a 7-3 record. The Flashes all-time record is 99 wins and 43 losses. — Judy Goldman SCORES W CENTRAL MICHIGAN 190.85-167.60 W MIAMI 189.05-138.35 W BROCKPORT —forfeited — W WEST VIRGINIA 196.05-195.50 W SINCLAIR 196.05-107.80 L Western Michigan 187.17-237.20 L EASTERN KENTUCKY 205.60-211.25 W EASTERN MICHIGAN 197.50-196.55 W Towson State 217.30-212.05 L SLIPPERY ROCK 208.70-215.10 Great Lakes League 204.50 Photos by Fred Squillante 243 Women ' s Gymnastics Fred Squillante Gus Chan 244 The old saying records were made to be broken seems to have been written with the women ' s gymnastics team in mind. Not only did the team receive the highest score in the team ' s history once with a 137.05 against Eastern Michigan, but the gymnasts broke the record again six days later with a score of 137.60 against Slippery Rock. Several women also broke season and lifetime records in individual events. Although the team came in third in the State Championships and fifth in Regionals, it was our best season from the standpoint of our win-loss record, head coach Rudy Bachna said.

The tie was against Bowling Green, when both teams finished with a score of 132.55. The women ' s only loss this year was suffered on January 2 when the University of Michigan beat KSU by one point. But the Flashes proved their strength when they beat both state champions, Ohio State and Michigan State, 135.70 to 134.10 and 135.55 respectively, at the last meet of the season. At Regionals the team also beat Bowling Green and University of Michigan, a feat seldom done. Janet Roscover, who led the team with the highest all-around score, made the All-Regional team along vdth Suzy Baxter. Although senior Sharon Ledger placed second in the team all- around, an injury kept her from competing in Regionals. It was her contributions that led to the 137.05 win against Eastern Michigan and Eastern Kentucky. The competition keeps getting tougher as all the teams are becoming more powerful, Bachna said. Gymnastics is becoming a more popular sport, especially at Kent State since the gymnasts moved into their new home in Memorial Gym this year. The greater attendance contributed to the enthusiasm of another winning season. — Judy Goldman Fred Squillante 245 To play for the team, for yourself, or just for fun: INTRAMURALS Steven Begleiter Steven Begleiter 246 GusChan 247 Football Dale S.

There are so many things that go into a pubUcation Hke this one that are largely unobserved or unknown to the readership. Most people won ' t even notice the particulars we debated over, or realize the extent of the time and thought put into (almost) every page. And even more, they won ' t know who to give the credit to for the work of the book. Therefore: A big thank you to Fred, who was always working, doing big and little things. Whatever needed to be done, he was there to do it. We wish him the very best of luck with next year ' s book. Much gratitude to Joan, who not only worked tirelessly on layouts and overall design of the book, but gave us ideas and helpful criticism. Thanks to Dave, who spent countless hours printing, retouching, and helping out with just about everything. He was an unexpected and invaluable addition to the staff. Thanks to Simine — besides helping with the printing, she gave me much needed moral support. Thanks to Colin, for making himself available when we needed him; and Barb Gerwin, whose promising creativity spurred me on. Thanks also to Tom, Steve, Dale, Judy, and Floyd. Last, I personally want to thank Gus, for his respect, patience, and support. He deserves a good deal of credit for all the dedicated work he put into this book, and 1 consider it a privelege to work with him. Gus and I have tried hard to make this a professional publication about life at a very complex university.
