A camera on a tripod was set up near Memorial Gym. There was a long cable release attached to the camera which enabled students to trigger the shutter. Dave Maxwell 18 19 20 21 22 23 A Day in the Life On October 1 , 1 980, Chestnut Burr photographers were sent out to photograph ' a day in the life ' of Kent and KSU. Their goal was to capture on film the moments which make the city and the university special. The day was chosen at random. Photographers started tak- ing pictures at midnight on October 1 and stopped at midnight on October 2. They covered all areas of the city and the cam- pus. It was impossible to photograph everything that happened during that 24-hour period, even though more than 1500 photo- graphs were taken. And due to space limitations, it was impossi- ble to use all the photographs. What appears on the following pages, then, are the images which the staff feels are the most memorable. There are unique images of the campus. Architecture can take on more meaning when you take the time to examine the way light strikes it. But Kent is more than buildings. It is people. It is the people who spend their time pursuing education. It is the people who unwind after a hard day of work. Personalities are what make the university interesting.

Two residents of Harbourt have also adorned their wall with evidence of their interests, above. Van Campen and Harbourt Halls, KSU ' s first attempt at small group dormitories, are alive and well and full of freshmen. Locat- ed across from the Ice Arena, Small Group I reopened its under- classmen halls this fall because of the increase in dormitory residents. The buildings had not housed underclassmen since 1976-77. Total dorm residency rose this year from 4642 residents last year to 5502 residents now. The greatest influx has been freshmen, said Donald Kluge, Director of Business Operations for Residence Services. He also said other changes were made to accomodate the increase. We had to uncreate the super accomodations and triple-up some rooms. We have not done this since 1970. He noted that the low point in dorm residency occurred in 1977-78. Several dorms were closed then, but Stopher and Johnson Halls were reopened last year, as were three floors of Wright Hall to house the students. Built in 1967, Small Group I houses about one hundred eighty women. The increase in freshmen is apparent as about ninety percent of the residents are freshmen. Some others in Van Campen and Harbourt are transfer students. There are a lot of freshmen and they seem to have more enthusiasm, Mark Seifarth, Resident Director of the dorms, said. Everything is brand new to them and they are all excited. I hope to keep up with them. The Small Group dorms are often referred to as the suburbs of campus because they are a bit farther from the other dorms and the rest of campus. But most residents say that the advan- tages outweigh the disadvantages of living in Small Group. It ' s nicetolookout your door and be able to seethe end of the hall, said Sue Drotleff, a freshman from Canfield. Patricia Healy, an RSA in Harbourt Hall, said that she prefers the smaller dorm. It ' s alot more cohesive. There ' s closer con- tact, so it ' s easier to get to know one another. She also said that the double and quad rooms in Harbourt and Van Campen are organized for study purposes. Sharing a room with three other girls doesn ' t seem to bother most of these residents. In a quad you get to meet more peo- ple, said Julie Winters from Mentor. Freshman Joanne Zeller, president of the Small Group I House Council, even prefers a quad to a double. Thus, for many of the residents of Harbourt and Van Campen, their freshman-filled environment is a fun-filled one as well. — Katie Mosher 39 Terrace A quiet dormitory may seem almost a contradiction in terms, but Terrace Graduate House just about fills the bill. Ter- race is the dorm with the scholarly drudge in mind — KSU ' s only dorm for graduate students, and the only dorm with a 24-hour quiet policy. Loud music is nearly unheard of, and even typing is forbidden in the rooms after 1 1 p.m. if one ' s neighbor complains. Aware that graduate students are usually more serious studiers than partlers, Resident Manager Judy Zatroch sees her main responsibility as maintaining an atmosphere conducive to studying. Peace predominates. Nevertheless, Terrace is a dormitory and not immune to so- cializing. Its staff has tried to promote a sense of community in the dorm, and has scheduled a number of activities including parties, coffeehouses, and exercise classes to bring residents closer together. A newsletter, the Terrace Triptych (the latter word defined as a hinged writing tablet consisting of three leaves ), was created with this aim in mind. Judy has observed that Terrace residents seem more sociable this year than last, and want more social activities. On the other hand, some resi- dents are so quiet — and so standoffishly studious — that they could disappear from the face of the earth and none of their neighbors would be concerned. Of Terrace ' s 208 residents, about 10% are foreign students and a similar number are older students who are working on undergraduate degrees. In general. Terrace residents are more mature than students in other dorms. Rooms are luxurious by KSU standards. Most singles have two dressers, two desks, and two large closets, and were at one time intended (if not designed) for four students. The first floor has a spacious formal lounge with two fireplaces, a gameroom, an exercise room, a music practice room, a darkroom, and a study lounge dubbed The Blue Room. Of course, there ' s a price to be paid for these luxuries, name- ly $616 per semester or about $154 a month. That ' s no bargain, at least in 1980. Certain services are also on the decline. Two broken ice machines have gone to their makers and a sun- bathing deck has been closed. But dormitory life, with its abun- dant opportunities for social interaction, has an unm istakable appeal for some people and Terrace, with the added advantage of relative tranquility, is an appealing dorm. — Jim Heinrich Photos by Fred Squillante 40 studying, the most common of campus activities, tal es on a higher meaning in Terrace Graduate House.

Below, Resident Manager Judy Zatroch, who is also a gra- duate student in community health education, takes a soda breal from her books while one of Terrace ' s few undergraduates, David Gluck, a transportation and human resources major, relaxes in the phone booth. 41 Eastway Complex Where does one go to find a large number of underclassmen in a relatively small area? Freshmen orientation classes, Intro, to Soc, and the Rathskellar are all good bets . . . and so is Eastway Complex. Freshmen especially have a need to make friends fast, explains Eastway Area Coordinator Susan Frei- drich. Andi Ickes, Fletcher ' s Resident Director, adds that shared ground floors and lobby spaces promote a nice kind of interaction. Eastway is also popular for its central location. And only Eastway residents can boast of fast-food, bowing lanes, bil- liards, a bar, and a delicatessen right in their own basement. Afternoons and evenings find many students aiming for the nine- pins, outsmarting the pinball machines, or defending their spaceships from dangerous space invaders. Behind the sharp crack of colliding poolballs, however, lies another Eastway ex- perience . . . standing in line. And many lines there are. The fast-food snack bar, critically dubbed Greaseway, requires its hungry customers to stand in pizza sub or hamburger lines to place an order. After finally obtaining his food, the harried patron must sit at a table and endure the atmosphere. WMMS blasts through speakers whose less-than-adequate reception competes with a booming juke- box, electronic pinball bleeps, and the sudden call for the proud new owner of pizza sub 56. Lines of hungry people are also found in the Timbuktoo Deli, the only place on campus where customers can purchase lunch- meat, cheese, and other foods commonly relegated to the neighborhood supermarket. In comparison, few lines form out- side the Loose Caboose, where frosted windows bring to mind frosty mugs of beer. And the overwhelming smell of popcorn makes the beer seem even colder. The general reputations of Eastway ' s four dorms are another reason for their continued popularity. Fletcher and Allyn are known as places where all the freshman girls live. Of the mens ' dorms, Clark is perceived as quieter than Manchester, which is a center of attention with a tremendous sense of pride, according to Sue Friedrich. Because of their proximity and shared spaces, many activi- ties are planned between the girls ' and guys ' dorms. For in- stance, Fletcher Hall conducted a fifteen-minute open season on Eastway men during the fall. A modified scavenger hunt, it required each female participant to locate men having specific characteristics. Manchester men retaliated with a woman hunt for Fletcher females. In the same spirit, Clark and Allyn Halls sponsored a swing-a-thon to raise money for the American Cancer Society. The fund-raiser turned into a competition be- tween the dorms as participants from both buildings swung on a wooden swingset in two-hour shifts for an entire week. Betty Bartholomew The part in the middle is Eastway Center, and this employee obviously has no idea why it ' s called Greaseway. But if the food doesn ' t appeal to everyone, the game room may. The importance of teamwork in a fast game of pinball is demonstrated, left bottom, while Mike Dayton, a freshman math major and one of Eastway ' s many pool sharks, displays his winning form. Another kind of form is displayed daily on Eastway ' s twelve bowling lanes. 42 Colin Klein 43 But all this cooperation should not obscure the fact that Eastway Complex is composed of four dorms with four separate personalities. Fletcher Hall is a nutty kind of place, but it ' s home, according to one resident. First floor ' s Western Ex- press Singing Telegram Service is an example of Fletcher nutti- ness. Organized by RSA Liz Colletto to aid the American Cancer Society, the service delivered singing telegrams anywhere on campus or in Kent. First floor residents dressed in cowgirl cos- tumes and sang messages to music they composed them- selves. Allyn is a pleasant, easy-going kind of place, making it popu- lar among freshman girls, explains Resident Director Monica Hoff. Although Allyn is not, perhaps, as nutty as Fletcher, similarities exist. Girls from both dorms spend time cutting the paper cloud, house, and balloon nametags for their doors which contribute to the almost grade schoolish aspect of decoration in their halls. Bulletin boards with such phrases as our place to grow and home is where you make it occupy walls which are also plastered with menus posted under the lettering where should we pig-out today? . The female touch isn ' t always so innocent. A second floor restroom in Fletcher has a bulletin board labeled Grins and Gripes which allows residents to vent their frustrations through graffiti. Paula Janowicz and Ann Leano, from third floor Fletcher, have another method of venting the frustration of a bad day. Called Demolition Dictionary, their technique involves kicking a dictionary around until temperatures fall or the book falls apart . . . whichever comes first. Anxiety is released more violently in the male dormitories. Firedoors are dented and vulgarities are written on the walls. Clark and Manchester Halls do, however, have many more posi- tive aspects. Unity, pride, and friendship describe Manchester for second- year resident Mike Oxner. The dorm ' s rowdy reputation is slowly changing with the introduction of a quiet policy on the fourth Dedication is a familiar concept to residents of Fletcher and Manchester Halls. Freshman engineering major Doug l loorer displays his devotion to the dollar, above, while Hollie Gusse, another freshman studying interior design, pays homage to her favorite face, opposite top.

Plans are also being made to turn that floor ' s study lounge into a dorm library. A new sense of unity is shown through the creation of a House Council newspaper, Manchester Noise, and through the annual Thanksgiving feast. Resident Director Sly Briggs suggests that togetherness is important in Manches- ter: People have concern and support for each other. Clark Hall has a feeling of students concerned with both academics and an active social life, according to its Resident Director, David Hess. Residents plan informal talks, dinners, and other activities during the year to relieve study tensions. On the lighter side, last year ' s third floor residents released two hundred crickets on third floor Fletcher during the crazy hours of spring finals week. Another unusual activity is the annual Miss Clark Contest in which residents in drag stage a beauty con- test similar to the Miss America Pageant. These activities are all in fun, as Brian Morris, a second year cartography major, explains, The people here are really normal. But, he adds, I find dorm life pretty confining and will probably leave next year when I ' m a junior. Eastway is not known for having a lot of returning students, admits Sue Friedrich. Most upperclassmen not active in KIC, House Council, or desk staff venture off into the world of apart- ment complexes. This natural turnover of residents is, however, healthy for Eastway. Its freshmen get a taste of typical dorm living and many do choose to move on. But whether it lasts one semester or several years, a student ' s experience in the Eastway Com- plex will prepare him for friends and enemies and anyone else he may encounter when he leaves. And never let it be said that this year ' s Eastway is just like last year ' s Eastway ... or next year ' s for that matter. Each September brings a brand new mood to that relatively small space where the underclassmen always seem to gather. — Jeffrey Jorney and Carol Van Treuren Steve Goldstein It doesn ' t take long for freshmen In Clark and Allyn Halls to make themselves at home. Katie Cannon, a nursing student, demonstrates the concept of desk as diversion, above. And Jonathan Wilkoff ' s trumpet serves a similar function when his enthusiasm for aerospace technology is running low, opposite. 46 Colin Klein 47 Fred Squillante Fred Squillante 48 Engleman Joy Poore The trees are definitely scenic, but your opinion of Engleman Hall probably depends a lot on your taste in architecture. At any rate, the residents like it. One of those residents heads home down the leaf-strewn back steps, opposite top. Home itself sprawls behind its giant oak trees, opposite bottom, and this resident takes time to enjoy the peaceful location, above. It was built in another era; constructed when education was dressed with an air of formality. Engleman Hall, with green ivy creeping along its red brick walls, stands in sharp contrast to the efficient, late twentieth century White Hall across the road. Unlike most other dormitories, it is secluded in a forest of oak trees and rests on a carpet of green grass. The squirrels are even friendlier here, says one resident. Engleman Hall first opened its doors on January 29, 1939 after two years of construction. Named after President James O. Engleman (1928-1938), it departed from the usual yellow brick of the other buildings on campus. Originally, it housed 189 women. Today, the W-shaped dorm has approximately 200 resi- dents. Upon entering the lobby, one faces two mirrors that have captured the lives of college coeds for the past four decades. To the right is the formal lounge where a large oil painting of J.O. Engleman stares sternly down at a group of girls intently watching a television program. Upon closer examination, there is a punc- ture in the past-president ' s forehead where a former resident placed a paper heart during a Valentine ' s Day party. To the right and left of the mirrors are the stairs. Clanky radiators and water pipelines make one wonder if it is 1980. The third floor, the 24-hour quiet floor, has a study lounge and library. Third floor residents choose to be here. The yellow pastel walls are lined with heavy wooden doors, behind which girls are studying or talking quietly. It is so quiet here and I ' m able to get a lot done, one studious resident said. Except for color, the green second and beige first floors are exact duplicates of the third floor. But the atmosphere is quite different. With radios and televisions blaring, girls saunter from room to room discussing everything from homework to the favor- ite topic of boys. How and why Is Engleman Hall so different? Being here is like being in a different time, a peaceful time, resident Peggy Glov- er said. It ' s more conservative than the rest of the campus. Summing up all the girls ' feelings is four-year resident and Resi- dent Adviser Gail Coleman. Nothing is like Engleman. It ' s a nice, cozy place . . . it ' s not a dorm, it ' s home. — Elaine Rivera 49 Joann Calve 50 Verder Mike Dobrinich For many residents of Verder Hall, life is a three-letter abbreviation ... F PA. Professionalism does not, however, preclude daily necessities. It is necessary to brush your hair, as Terry Berger demonstrates, opposite left. And it is very necessary to relax. Sophomores Jan White, a photo-illustration major, and architecture major Chuck Rosati take a break in the hall, opposite top right, while Leander Golobeck shares a beer with her snowman, bottom right. But nothing is more typically Verder than tomorrow ' s architect bent over tomorrow ' s structures assignment, demonstrated above by Mark Flipiak. Verder Hall was turned into a Fine and Professional Arts dor- mitory three years ago according to Marian Scott, its Resident Director. One half of the dorm is for art students and the other houses architecture majors. The hall, which was filled to capacity this year with some 230 residents, has a more professional air about it than some buildings because of all the work space available. Super single and double rooms help contain the many supplies that art stu- dents accumulate. A former cafeteria also houses one dark- room, a gallery where Verder students can display their wares, a music room, a drawing room, and a professional library. Two student artists-in-residence provide a kind of tutoring service for art students and plan educational programming, in- cluding running the gallery and bringing in speakers. And there have been some very impressive speakers at Verder. F. Eugene Smith, a local artist, and Bob Gadie, a restoration architect from Cleveland, are but two. The big event of the year for Verder residents is the Hallow- een Party. We put up a big sound system and everyone comes in original costumes. The students plan them very elaborately. It ' s been fantastic the last two years, said Scott. Basically, the people living at Verder are a happy group. Some students don ' t like to be reminded of academia in their dorms, but it seems to work very well here. In the words of their Resident Director, It ' s a living-learning experience. The upper- classmen help the underclassmen . . . there ' s a lot of community spirit. — Rich Jordan 51 Prentice What do you want to do? Social interaction? A brisk game of something physical? Maybe a little community service? If you live in Prentice Hall, you don ' t have to join one of KSU ' s many clubs or coalitions to fill your free time. In Prentice, involvement is an everyday experience. That ' s not to say that these resi- dents never leave home, but they are the first to admit that they really don ' t have to. The Prentice House Council assumes responsibility for the social lives of the residents. To kick off the year, the Council planned an outdoor picnic to celebrate the transition from sum- mer to fall. On the appointed day, however, the weather was also in transition, forcing the participants to create a new type of party, popularly known as hot dogs and Coke in the formal lounge. Traditionally, indoor activities have been a bit more success- ful. One evening in late fall found Prentice residents huddled in the formal lounge once again, this time for a slumber party. Of course no one dreamed of sleeping. Cookies, donuts, and creepy stories were still flying at the crack of dawn. And to keep those spirits flying during finals week, residents indulged them- selves in a game night before starting their all-nighters. But you say the formal lounge gets just a little confining after a dozen or so parties? Then the Prentice Panthers are for you. Many of the girls find that nothing rivals the excitement of an afternoon of dorm league football, especially when they ' re fol- lowing a team with a winning reputation. All residents are en- couraged to attend the games at Allerton field and support their friends and neighbors. Football season doesn ' t last all year, though, and on a Tues- day afternoon the next party is at least three days away. The Prentice Ambitious Ladies, commonly known as PAL, is one group dedicated to the constructive relief of midweek boredom. PAL is a young black women ' s organization providing public services to Prentice Hall and the Kent community. The group also hopes to promote unification and sharing among black women in all dorms. And if nothing else interests you, there ' s always the famous Prentice sandwich bar which attracts patrons from all over cam- pus. It should be obvious, however, that Prentice Hall has some- thing for everyone. So even if you can ' t decide what you want to do, life at Prentice will probably absorb you . . . and all that free time you always thought you had. — Maria Schwartz Photos by Steve Goldstein Backgammon, soap bubbles, and bedtime stories . . . maybe not the stuff dreams are made of, but major components of an evening in Prentice Hall. Lorie Zrinyi, a sophomore nursing major, prepares a swreater for tomorrow ' s classes, above. Sophomores Ann Finlayson and Debbie Gilbert exercise their board, opposite top. And l ary Beth Gintert, a sophomore education major, may just be plain bored by her roommate ' s (sophomore photo-journalism major Nancy Whe- lan) idea of light bedtime literature, opposite bottom. 52 53 54 Small Group Photos by Dave Maxwell In Stewart Hall, patriotism, cleanliness, and a night out with the boys are still innportant ideals, as sophomores Tim Bowen, business, and Ed Sobek, pre- engineering, and senior Fred Livak, business management and economics, demonstrate, opposite. But Amber Craffey, a freshman majoring in special education, wouldn ' t trade her moments of solitude or her genuine Pirates helmet for all the buddies in the world, above. Small Group isn ' t as small as it used to be. For the first time in ten years, more than 650 students occupy the eight dorms in Upper and Lower Plazas. And for the first time there are strang- ers in the TV lounge and at the mailbox. It ' s a little frustrating to realize that you ' ll probably never recognize all the people you share a building with, especially for upperclassmen who are used to knowing names as well as faces. In a single year their quiet rural neighborhood expanded into something more closely approximating its new nickname . . . Quad City. But even in an urban jungle, the search for a familiar face isn ' t entirely futile. There are always roommates and hallmates, and if you don ' t like their habits you can usually spike your com- plaints with a few references to their hometowns or majors. They also share midnight snacks and favorite albums and bath- rooms with you, so you have to know them better than the average face on campus. After all, proximity breeds familiarity, but that ' s the easy way and it certainly isn ' t unique to Small Group. In unique places, you meet people who aren ' t your next-door neighbors. They ' re the checkpoints of your daily routine, once you get it established, and Small Group is full of them. Some of the places are exclusively Upper Plaza gathering spots and some are limited to Lower Plaza residents, but many draw a crowd from both areas simultaneously. No one plans them in advance. You simply have to be in the right spot at the right time . . . and you have to be there every day. Best of all, everyone you meet when you arrive is from Small Group because who wants to walk that far if he doesn ' t have to? The most common of Small Group ' s common denominators is its bus stop. Almost everyone spends a part of each day there waiting for the Loop. Unless you live within sight of the Ice Arena or very close to Rhodes Road, that wait usually begins well before your next class. And since classes tend to occur at regular intervals and most students attend most of their classes, the same faces greet you every morning. On f ondays, of course, no one says very much and you ' re lucky to catch another open eye. On any other day you ' re likely to hear a tirade of anxieties, exultations, and life stories from people who aren ' t strangers anymore after the first week. The first snow makes former strangers close friends as bus after bus passes Small 55 56 iutnr jr • Photos by Dave Maxwell Surprise! You ' ve been caught at your desk doing anything but studying. In Mussleman Hall, Mark Nido, a freshman majoring in physical education, divides his attention between the news and the brews, opposite. In Metcalf, sophomore elementary education major Belinda Reneker concentrates on dividing the pop- corn, above. Group with a full load, leaving you and your new friends to huddle or freeze. When it comes to freezing, however, the tundra beats the bus stop any day. The wind starts at the Health Center and rips across this wasteland unhindered until it slams into the Apple McSweeney or Altmann Stewart wind tunnels. But the tunnels are a small obstacle when four busses have come and gone and you know you ' ll miss the test if you don ' t hit the tundra. So you persuade the person beside you to act as balast and together you face the wind. Lesser ordeals have contributed to lasting friendships. After contending with such hardship, is it any wonder the residents of Small Group love to come home and don ' t mind staying home, at least from December to April? There are plenty of people to meet who share your tastes, especially in Lower Plaza where the dorms are as thematic as their parties. There are also as many differing opinions as you care to track down. And who knows? Your future mate may turn up tomorrow in the sandwich line. For that line, by the way, you have to go to Stewart Cafeteria, catering three meals a day plus snacks to both Plazas. The salad bar is the best on campus and on chocolate ice cream days, hungry students wait in line for hours to get in. Stewart, therefore, is a sort of indoor bus stop. The early-eaters get the first guesses at today ' s mystery meat and the late-comers don ' t get any, but it ' s questionable whether they care. The important thing is that everyone gets together. If you see someone you ' d like to know, there ' s usually someone you do know to send on reconnaissance. It ' s also nice to know the people who are serv- ing you, especially since you may be tempted to wonder what they ' re serving. And you can ' t beat the candle light on Valen- tine ' s Day or the Stewart Christmas tree for atmosphere. On the holidays, even vanilla ice cream can ' t keep the crowd away. But what if you ' ve just finished your delicious Stewart meal and you discover, to your horror, that you have left your keys in your room? You probably don ' t worry about it very long because Stewart happens to be right next door to Humphrey, the home of the Small Group Desk. The Desk staff are probably the only people who still know the names of every person in Small Group. They also know who plays football and who plays ping pong and who gets flowers and who has the most-called number in the area. That ' s part of the job they work at twenty-four hours a day. So if you ' re in the habit of leaving those keys in the room, there ' s 57 Many Small Group residents find Its peaceful atmosphere conducive to medita- tion.

And sophomores Joanne Baracz, business, Lisa Frederico, business, and Cyndy Hannah, office administration, assume the pumpkin position before beginning their trance, opposite. 58 Photos by Dave Maxwell probably a familiar face at the Desk waiting to help you. Upper Plaza itself is a gathering place of sorts. Small Group veterans are well aware that unless you want to be decapitated by a deadly Frisbee or nailed by a football, you walk around the edge. Around the edge also means under the windows, which are open until the cold comes to stay because the best way to settle the Bruce Springsteen versus Michael Stanley question is to turn up the volume. Musselman and Altmann Halls join Hum- phrey and Stewart around the Plaza. Their decidedly main-cam- pus atmosphere might surprise all the main-campus residents who harbor the vague notion that strange things go on out there. On the other hand, Lower Plaza might confirm that notion, but only if you dislike the idea of people who can help each other out living in the same dorm. Apple and Metcalf are the men ' s and women ' s honors dorms for underclassmen. Munzenmayer houses music majors and McSweeney features French and Spanish language houses. Within the four buildings, however, are a remarkable variety of personalities, and who your friends are can be determined by such trivial things as where you choose to study, how early you like to practice, or even what language you speak. Lower Plaza also hosts its characteristic outdoor activities. In the athletic realm, volleyball takes precedence over football and occasional Flings replace the more sustained stereo wars. Flings are parties that crop up in the early fall and late spring when Kent ' s erratic weather offers the best bet for a nice day. It ' s very important that the whole day be nice, too, because Flings start at 3:00 with volleyball tournaments and progress through barbecue picnics to music, dance, and drink in the evening air. Obviously, full commitment to a Fling is emotional as well as physical, because staying at one to the bitter end means one Friday night when you don ' t go downtown or home and you certainly don ' t sit in your room and study. It ' s somehow typical that even the parties in Small Group require a degree of commitment. But then, Small Group is a nice place to live and its residents like to keep it that way. Which is not to overlook the presence of water balloons and shaving cream and nasty snow sculpture, but even the raids lack real viciousness. In general, the grounds are clean and the furniture. 59 John Neitzel 60 whole and frustrations are vented on something other than the windows. So even though the atmosphere isn ' t quite as intimate as it used to be, the area still has its charm. And by the end of the year, your collection of friendly faces is so large that it surprises you. Names don ' t seem so important when you ' re standing in a nameless Student Center crowd and your eye catches a familiar smile, or even a familiar grimmace. You ' ll see the same faces next year, too, because people tend to come back to Small Group. It isn ' t exactly home, but who wants to be there anyway when you can spend all your time, the days and the nights, with your friends ... in Quad City. — Barb Gerwin Dave Maxwell Leaving the relative warmth of her Plaza behind, a Small Group resident turns her face toward the tundra, opposite. But a year of experience has taught sophomore Joe Shorokey, a psychology major, that he ' d be wise to stay inside ... at least until spring, above. 61 Dunbar The college campus of the 1980s is at the opposite end of the spectrum from campuses of the 1960s and early 1970s. Gone are student radicals, protest marches, and love beads which came to signify this rebellious generation. They have been re- placed by career-minded students who seem too busy to bother with the world beyond the campus. At Kent State, this change is best evidenced by the residents of Dunbar Hall. Instead of making noise at night, they are com- plaining about it. And according to many Dunbarites, the wild- ness of past generations has left behind dorm policies that hem them in. For today ' s Dunbar resident, room decoration is more impor- tant than the economy or the tvliddle East. Students are allowed to decorate rooms to their own tastes, within reason, to provide some variety. And some, like sophomore accounting major Don Hillier, go to great lengths to add that personal touch. Hillier built his own beds using logs and rope. The end result stands over six feet high and allows Hillier and his roompate to put the couch and study desk under the bunks. The setup has been affection- ately dubbed the loft. For recreation, Dunbarites participate in the traditional col- lege sports. Every afternoon finds a football game beginning in the field behind the building. The most popular sport, howev- er, does not begin until sometime after sundown and continues until midnight on weekdays or 2:00 a.m. on weekends . . . the times when female visitation ends for the day. And the most popular method of announcing gametimes is the so-called tape technique. Using this system, one need only check his keyhole before trying to open the door. If a piece of tape covers the hole, the room is occupied. Most residents said they were careful not to play practical jokes with the tape method because they wanted to maintain its effectiveness. Some did, however, admit to spending the night out because of a prank. This, then, is Dunbar. Life goes on in a building where the most vocal complaint is about the food, where football games take place during the day and other games at night, and where stu- dents can actually be found studying. It truly is the opposite of ten years ago. One can only wonder when the men of Dunbar will start swallowing goldfish or piling into phonebooths. — Mark Barnette Fred Squillante Pete Maguire, a sophomore telecommunications major, and Rickie Lee Jones, a popular singer and pin-up girl, stiare a free moment, right top, while Ed Rojeck, a freshman advertising major, does the same with his recliner, right bottom.

It is not abnormal to walk past the building and see one of its occupants hanging from the window by his feet anymore than it is to hear innumerable types of music blaring from the different windows scattered across three floors. If nothing else, one resident explains, we Stopher people know how to have a good time! This is proven nearly every day and night with one or two parties somewhere in the dorm. Or by the people gathering around the piano to sing a few off-key verses of any song the majority happen to know. Or by a friendly game of football out on the lawn. Maybe they do like to have a good time, but most of the residents understand the real reason they are here at Kent State. At almost anytime during the day and well into the night, one can find some serious students lying around the lounges studying for exams and doing class assignments or tucked away in their rooms so as not to be bothered by the sometimes frequent disturbances. The physical appearance of Stopher has not helped its repu- tation. What can be expected of one of the oldest dorms on campus, which has only been reopened for the last few years? Pipes are the ceiling decorations for the girls who are lucky enough to have their rooms in the basement, better known to residents as the dungeon. And some of the students who live in the other, more modern dorms find it unbelievable that Stopher has no elevators. There are only three washers and two dryers for the whole building, and the single kitchen attracts everything except the students. After all, who wants to cook in the same room that is used to store the week ' s garbage? Besides, the stoves share a bad habit of not working all the time with the washers. The hallways are painted a drab color and the carpeting isn ' t much better, but as one resident puts it, Stopher is better than the more modern dorms because it ' s cozy. So maybe things don ' t always work, but to most of the people at Stopher, it really isn ' t that important. They make up for any- thing the building lacks. A little crazy? Yeah, well maybe. But one thing is certain, they are a great bunch to live with. — Nancy Pratt Colin Klein In Stopher, the non-academic good time has many faces.

The new face-life made Johnson one of the most popular dormitories on campus, but there are other reasons to live here. Johnson is an upperclass, co-ed building. It is also the only dormitory on campus to offer super-single accomodations to all its residents. The university visitation policy is enforced and residents themselves enforce the twenty-four hour quiet policy, with frequent checks by Security. Johnson residents began their year with a get-acquainted potluck dinner. Men and women of each floor were matched, and each couple prepared a dish for the event. From that day on, meals retained a position of importance. As most residents do their own cooking, the kitchen is common meeting ground. Sometimes, large groups collaberate on meals to cut down on food expenses. Career planning is also important to Johnson ' s junior and senior residents. Workshops are held in the dorm on such topics as interview techniques and writing resumes. But life in Johnson Hall isn ' t always so serious. Parties are held for special occa- sions, including Halloween and Christmas. And despite the stub- bornly mature and independent natures of many upperclassmen, those parties are always a success. — Karen Sigle 67 Tri-Towers Three towers loom high above a saucer-like rotunda . . . From the hill by Taylor Hall, Tri-Towers resembles a future world. Of course it isn ' t really futuristic. It ' s part of the Kent State campus today. But to the more than 1 ,500 students living there; Koonce, Wright, and Leebrick Halls do compose a separate world. Everyone ' s mailbox looks the same, the rooms are much alike, and three buildings are joined to their common center, but Tri-Towers is full of different personalities. Varying tastes are expressed through the assortment of posters on every wall, the medley of books on every shelf, and the sound of 1 ,500 stereos playing 1,500 albums . . . 1,500 different albums. Despite these differences, however, few students can avoid the routine of life at Tri Towers. One pleasant step in that routine is a daily visit to the largest area desk on campus. In addition to the all-important mail, the desk supplies spare keys, common knowledge, friendly faces, and a place to meet before an after- noon of soaps or an evening on the town. And who else is up at four in the morning to assist the latest victim of an all-nighter? The desk ' s strategic location also makes it a favorite of the come-early-and-avoid-the-rush crowd waiting for the cafeteria to open. That very cafeteria is another medium through which the vary- ing tastes of Tri-Towers residents are revealed. Everyone piles in the same doors as soon as they are opened, but the crowd soon divides. Many residents and commuters from dorms without cafeterias prefer the standard cafeteria line on the left side of the doors. For them, pizza, hamburgers, and the popular chicken fillet make a satisfactory meal. But on the right side of the doors are accomodations unequalled by any other cafeteria on campus. This side draws the hearty meat eaters and the vegetarians. The steak line was started a year ago to give the students a restaurant-type facility, Peggy Boston, Food Service Man- ager, explained. The diners at this restaurant select their own bread, fruit, and dessert before stating their preferences as to rare, medium, or well and deciding whether they ' d like a potato, a vegetable, or both. Red plastic cards are placed on each tray to denote these choices and the diners move on to the salad Photos by Jim Celuch A futuristic world rising higli into the cloudy Kent sky, the Tri-Towers complex is a massive structure housing over 1,500 students, above. The dormitories are large enough to allow individual expressions of interest and accomodate varying lifestyles, but the central rotunda encourages a sense of unity among the three buildings, opposite. 68 69 and the selection of their beverages. The final step is the cash register, from which hungry customers proceed to cloth-cov- ered tables and await the arrival of the main course. Sound familiar? Well, there are some differences. The waitresses don ' t wear uniforms and there are no fancy pictures on the walls, but re- gardless of these shortcomings most students seem to appreci- ate the steak line. The roast beef and ham line, which was started shortly after the steak line and offers the same side dishes, is also popular and serves about one hundred pounds of roast beef nightly. Obviously, the vegetarians in the crowd have little interest in these offerings, but they do respond favorably to the vegetarian line. In fact, some non-vegetarians venture to that side of the cafeteria. They come over just to see what the food looks like, commented June Moore, supervisor of the cafeteria. But then they usually go back to the other side. Moore said that although the foods aren ' t authentic vegetar- ian fare, they don ' t include any meat. She plans the meals trying to provide variety and says the line includes almost one hundred different dishes during the year. Whichever side of the cafeteria they visit, the diners go their separate ways after dinner. During the warm weather, some go to take an after-dinner rest on the beach, a wooded and grassy area behind the buildings. Others choose to work off their meal with a game of football, baseball, or frisbee. In the winter months, most everyone prefers to stay inside and talk to friends or study. All are students at Kent State and all are residents of the complex, but each one is a different part of the world of Tri-Towers. — Sue West Jim Celuch A complex as large as Tri-Towers must somehow accomodate a wide variety of interests, appetites, and activities. In an attempt to do tliis, the cafeteria offers a separate serving line for hearty meat-eaters and vegetarians and one for those who are satisfied with pizza and burgers, above. After-dinner activities are equally varied.

Meanwhile. Doug Bradley, a criminal justice major, tones his mus- cles, opposite top right as Marty TIghe, a sophomore business major, tunes his guitar, above. An athletic dormitory it definitely is, but that ' s not all Lake Hall has to offer. Of course, its convenient proximity to the gym makes Lake the chosen residence for many of KSU ' s finest athletes. Football, basketball, and soccer players, gymnasts, swimmers, wrestlers, and more take advantage of Lake ' s cen- tral location on campus and the weight room in neighboring Olson Hall. But Lake Hall is more than jocks and gym shoes. The fact that for multitudes of men Lake is the ultimate in a college dorm environment means that the actual residents are of varying incli- nations. Despite the large number of business and physical education majors, nearly every other major and interest from art to honors studies to zoology is represented. So when and if study time rolls around, there ' s no need for anyone to solo on intense cramming sessions. This diversity doesn ' t indicate a lack of unity by any means. One area of common interest, besides athletics, is definitely music. Neil Young, Joe Walsh, and the Rolling Stones perform regularly on turntables all over Lake Hall. The typical stereo wars of other dorms aren ' t as common in Lake where nearly every radio tunes in to the same rock station. The men of Lake express their appreciation of music not only in listening, but in performing as well. Whether they ' re strum- ming the strings of a guitar or caressing the keys of a piano, many residents exhibit unusual ability. As a result, the intense jamming is as frequent as the intense cramming. Another area of common interest to Lake men is, of course, partying. Not unlike the average campus dormitory, any occa- sion or no occasion is an occasion for a party in Lake Hall. Besides the annual Pimp and Prostitute Party, which attracts a varied array of appropriately adorned characters, and other regularly scheduled events, spontaneous get-crazy-in-the-mid- dle-of-the-week celebrations commemorate such noteworthy occasions as the spectacular setting of the sun over Bowman Hall or the newest album release. At any rate, it shouldn ' t be difficult to find a party going on somewhere in Lake Hall on almost any evening. So what makes Lake different from any other men ' s dorm? Some might argue in favor of musical talent while others think it ' s the great parties. One thing is certain: Lake Hall has a wide enough variety of men to satisfy the appetite of almost any lovelorn lady. — Florence Cunningham 73 Steve Goldstein 74 Olson Hall Henri Adjodha A roommate can serve many different purposes. She can be someone to study with, as sophomore business major Joanne Kahr and freshman telecommunica- tions major Dori Thomas have found out, opposite top. Down the hall, Sue Casey, a sophomore studying office administration, takes time out to discuss the day ' s activities with her roommate, medical technology major Dawn Tracey, opposite bottom. But there are times when a person wants to be alone. Andi Philips, sophomore business and transportation major, found a corner in her room to meditate in, above. Mornings come pretty early here. Not that they come later anywhere else, but those cold and cloudy days seem to creep up on the girls in Olson all to quickly. This is probably the only time Olson Hall is quiet, though. The afternoon hours find residents very much alive ... or at least on the way. For some, this means packing into the TV lounge in anticipation of the day ' s conflict on General Hospital. For others, it means a little partying in a friend ' s room before dealing with their own crises. And Olson Hall is certainly conducive to partying. Residents are well-acquainted, despite the size of the dorm. The paper-thin walls enable them to know not only what kind of music their neighbor prefers, but also what hours she keeps and with whom. Secrets are impossible to hide and even the smells of hairspray and perfume penetrate the plaster. Since everyone knows everyone else, it ' s not uncommon to find a whole floor of girls gathered in one or two rooms playing Quarters or Pass Out during Happy Hour. From about five o ' clock to eight, when quiet hours begin, music from Olson bombards the Quad area in fierce competition with stereos from the other three dorms. And if the loud music doesn ' t attract any attention, the fact that it ' s the only dorm exclusively for women in the vicinity does. Between parties, though, the girls of Olson take time out for studying. The dorm ' s convenient location on campus makes it popular among the female athletes as well as among art, archi- tecture, business, physical education, and recreation majors. The art and architecture majors in particular benefit from the size and potential of the rooms in Olson, where lofts, elaborate murals, and delicately-designed tapestries add personal touch- es to the otherwise conventional rooms. Two further advantages afforded the women of Olson Hall are the location of the Quad area desk in the main lobby and the tight security measures taken. Although one resident refers to the dorm as a virgin vault, most agree that they feel safe with the wing doors and elevators locked as they are. These assets, combined with the benefits of friendly people and crazy parties, lend to Olson Hall a truly unique atmosphere. — Florence Cunningham and Pat Quinn 75 Beall When I first opened the door to my new room in Beall Hall, I almost dropped my armful of boxes in astonishment. After living in a Leebrick single for two years, this place looked like a penthouse suite! Two bedrooms? A living room? A bathroom? No more dashes down the hall clad in only a towel to see if it ' s my phone ringing? Now this is living in style! Opened this year as an upperclassman dorm, Beall Hall is luring juniors and seniors back to campus living. And why not? With the spacious apartment-style rooms, close proximity to classrooms, and no restrictive guest policies, many upperclass- men prefer it to off-campus housing. Resident Director Charlie Maimone explained that students expressed a need for another upperclassman dorm with a mature atmosphere. Beall has always been one of the nicest dorms on campus . . . and one of the only ones with air-condi- tioning, he said. This is the first year that Beall has not been affiliated with tvlcDowell Hall, its neighbor in the Twin Towers complex. Beall ' s House Council plans many entertaining events for its residents, including free movies, a spring cookout, a Halloween bash, and the annual Christmas party. Phyllis Gusky, a senior criminal justice major, feels that an upperclassman dorm is conducive to studying. The 24-hour quiet policy is great for grades, but when you feel like getting rowdy, you can bet your neighbors share your enthusiasm. It ' s really a lot of fun here! — Mary Ellen Kowalski Photos fay Dennis Monbarren Your very own bedroom . . . maybe for the first time since you left home. For residents of Beall Hall, it ' s an offer too good to refuse.

At McDowell Hall, this statement holds especially true. Mike Richards, a sophomore business major, says It ' s usually noisy because there are now four to a room. Life at McDowell is not over- crowded, however, since residents ' quads consist of a livin- groom, two bedrooms, and a bathroom that is shared with the quad next door. Living in this mini-apartment environment is, as third floor resident Randy Ordines says, a heck of a lot better than other dorms! Don ' t surround yourself with yourself. No way here! Jazz, rock and roll, and soul reverberate through the hallways on weekends. Open doors invite others to stop in for a visit and, for an unknown reason, people sometimes gather around their floor ' s drinking fountain. Or it ' s 3:01 on a weekday afternoon at the TV room and guess which soap opera is tuned in? In the study lounge, a few students are reading textbooks. A tapestry of rich and royal hues. The halls of some floors have a personality all their own. On the second floor walls, J.R.R. Tolkien ' s Gandalf, Bilbo, and friends come alive. Between the doors of the sixth floor, Ziggy strikes a variety of poses. The cartoon strip character is seen remarking that When I was stone blue, rock and roll sure helped me through, Oh shit, and I get by with a little help from my friends. Speaking of which, the Beatles have made a comback. Where? McDowell ' s fourth floor. The elevator doors open to the faces of John, Paul, George, and Ringo in front of their yellow submarine. Occasional chords from a Beatles song echo from room 419, where Lauren Podalak sits playing her bass guitar. Dormitory living at McDowell does have one serious flaw ac- cording to a seventh floor resident . . . the elevators are too slow. But in the meantime. Grant Frazier, a sophomore tele- communications major, sums it all up when he says, McDowell is noisy at times, quiet at times. It ' s a good place to call home. — Jennifer DiMare Linda Samec Freshman art major Lona Hunt is one of the few students in McDowell ' s study lounge, above right, while Ken Sulevin, another freshman, ponders the novelty of life on the third floor (with five more above him), right bottom.

The apartments house married and single-parent students. The complex, built in 1963, was originally designed for the post- Korean War family. As such, the apartments, even the two- bedroom units, are compact . . . tiny in fact, but it takes more than small rooms to discourage residents. The occupants of the 240 apartments in Allerton present a cross-section of students here, except for age. Allerton resi- dents are, on the average, a little older than the typical student. The youngest resident is 17 years old while the oldest was among the first renters when Allerton was built in the early 60s. Allerton residents face a bit more flexibility in their relations with their landlord — the university — than do renters off campus. Resident Manager Tony Barker is particularly enthusi- astic about students furnishing their own apartments. We ' re renting about twenty unfurnished apartments, he said, and it looks as if we could rent more that way since some people like the Idea of decorating the way they want. Muriel Lucas, a single parent returning to college after sixteen years away from school, is one of the people who took an unfurnished apartment and turned it into a home. She is a tele- communications major here with two daughters still in school. Muriel decorated her own apartment, and the motif includes a fireplace; nonfunctional, but the kind of touch that changes a sterile, dormatory-like set of rooms into something a little more personal. The basic character of the Allerton complex has changed over the past two years. This change began when Barker be- came resident manager. A full-time employee of Residence Ser- vices, he tries to instill a sense of community, an esprit, in the complex. The appointment of building coordinators for each of the six quads (groups of four buildings) and the inception of a Family Service and Resource Center are just two steps toward the realization of this goal. The greatest accomplishment since I ' ve been here, Barker said, is getting people to communicate. — Pete Nofel Photos by Chris Russell Healthy plants and healthy children . . . nothing can make a clearer distinction between dorm and home.

Some work part-time, others full-time. All find paydays at least as important as midterms and finals. Why do students choose to work? In most cases, it isn ' t because they have time on their hands. The obvious reason is, of course, financial. You need money to pay the rent, money for your annual pair of Levi ' s, money for the weekend. And there ' s always tuition. When it ' s all paid, you might even have some left to save for grad school ... or for spring break in Miami Beach. So you make some time and you find a job. Kent State ' s campus offers countless job opportunities to students who want or have to work. Those who take these jobs often serve the University as well as their wallets. To be specif- ic, they serve it chili and parking tickets and library books. On-campus jobs range from the obvious to the obscure and they are always in demand. Obvious is the candy counter in the Student Center, any cafeteria, and the campus loop. It is also behind any one of the five area desks which provide a 24- hour Information service to dorm residents and the University in general. The hours can be long . . . and late, according to George Bruce, a sophomore theater major. But for Bruce, who works at the Small Group Desk, the benefits usually equal the draw- backs. These benefits include an almost superfluous knowledge of University departments and operations, a small and closely- knit group of co-workers, and two Happy Hours a month on paydays. And if its hard to wake up for your 4 a.m. graveyard shift, at least you ' ll have time to finish your homework before your 8:50. Not all campus jobs are so visible. Many students work in labs and offices where they have little contact with normal University traffic. These jobs are often taken by students seek- ing experience in their fields of study. They are also popular among students who qualify for the work-study program. But work-study students need not confine their job prospects to the KSU campus. Through the Office of Student Employment, those eligible may find jobs with non-profit organizations off campus. The interested student is matched up with an agency or can apply for work-study after finding a suitable job on his own. In either case, the student ' s major plays an important role in screening for a community job. Photos by Dave Maxwell Judy Sipe, a sophomore nursing major, has one of the most visible on-campus jobs . . . behind the counter In the Student Center ' s second floor cafeteria, above. Off-campus, freshman communications major Darryl Crosby demon- strates the creation of MacDonald ' s famous Quarter Pounder, opposite. 84 85 Rodney Wood, for example, is a sophomore elementary edu- cation major working at the YMCA Child Care Center in Kent. As a teacher ' s aide, Rodney supervises play activity, prepares supplies, and performs various other duties to assist the trained teachers. He may eventually teach a lesson or two on his own. With this job I ' ve had the opportunity to understand how chil- dren learn and have gained valuable insight by observing the instructors. In the field of teaching, experience is important, Rodney explained. For some community jobs, one ' s major may not be as impor- tant as one ' s interest and dedication. Karen Costill, an employ- ee at the Kent Recycling Center, has not formally declared a major but is interested in environmental issues. I applied for the job without really knowing what it entailed. Now this work has almost become my religion, she said. Karen ' s job requires her to play some part in nearly every aspect of the recycling pro- cess, including sorting and separating, making phone contacts, picking up recyclable goods, and delivering recycled products. Sometimes people confuse us with garbage collectors, Ka- ren explained, but an item is considered garbage only if it can ' t be recycled. Mike Casey, a co-worker of Karen ' s, shares her enthusiasm. A senior majoring in social work, Mike feels that his major is closely related to his work at the Recycling Center. The social worker must be able to understand how the environment affects individual functioning, he claimed. This environmental con- cern should be happening in every community. Like Karen, Mike is involved in almost the entire recycling process. The work-study program which places students in jobs throughout the community benefits the employers as well as the students. The university reimburses the agencies for eighty per- cent of the students ' salaries. Some of these organizations could not function without their student help. Those who don ' t qualify for work-study must seek their own off-campus employment, and the jobs they find are as varied as the students themselves. Slinging burgers at the local fast food joint is quite common, as is bussing tables at the assorted restaurants along Main Street. The Christmas rush finds many : ' - - KSSSSWSf .- Photos by Dave Maxwell Junior education major Eric Roitco relaxes behind the bar at the Town House, above.

Some even an- swer the ever-present newspaper ads for phone soliciters and baby-sitters. One of the more interesting off-campus jobs is that of the bartender. You get to meet a lot of different people here, said Bruce Scott, a bartender at the Town House on Main Street. A senior education major, he works three nights each week. I enjoy it very much . . . the interaction, dealing with the people, he added. Eric Roiko has been manager of the Town House for six months. I love mixing drinks. I took the mixology course at KSU, he said. And there are definitely two crowds here. The Town House has an older set, while the Deck (located below the Town House) brings the younger, local crowd. Roiko also ex- plained that the Town House is more of a weekend bar while the Deck has a group of weeknight regulars. When it ' s slow you get more of a chance to talk with the customers. Phychology and pre-med major Tim Kobzowicz said that he often tries to understand his customers. It ' s the basic job of any psychologist to figure people out, to understand their prob- lems, he explained. Although not quite the stereotyped bartender psychologist, Kobzowicz has given advice on occasion. One guy came in about a week after I gave him some suggestions about his problem with a girlfriend. He sat at the bar with a smile and said, ' It worked! ' Like many students who work while attending school, the Town House ' s bartenders have very little time to themselves. Their days must be budgeted between the classroom, job, study . . . and sometimes even sleeping and eating. It ' s amazing what the average student is willing to give up to maintain his standard of living. — Barb Gerwin, Florence Cunningham, and Katie IVIosher In the audio-visual library, Greg Bee, a freshman majoring in studio art, poses with a section of KSU ' s extensive film library.

At the Weaver School, Barb Burley, a junior majoring in special education, spends a quiet moment with a pair of students, opposite bottom. And another Weaver School student entertains his volunteer helper, above. While most of us are more than busy with 16 hours of classes, a part-time job, weekends downtown, and afternoons watching General Hospital, there are about 200 students here who spend up to 20 hours a week involved in one of KSU ' s many volunteer programs. These students are never paid for their work, but they won ' t tell you that. They ' ll tell you they ' re paid very well, though not monetarily. They ' re paid with the rewards of knowing they ' ve helped someone who needs it. They go through orientation, sometimes even training, to devote their time to others. Read- ing, helping, tutoring, talking, or just being a friend are compen- sation enough. The volunteers all work under the Office for Service-Learning, located in Wright Hall and directed by Roger Henry. Previously called Volunteer Services, Service-Learning underwent more than a name change this year. A part of the Student Life Office, the new program focuses on career exploration, skill develop- ment, and curriculum enrichment in addition to organizing volun- teers and services. Students can get credit hours for their work by keeping a log of their experiences. And most of them find plenty to write about. At Weaver School, volunteers get experience with trainable mentally retarded students. They work in a classroom under the supervision of a teacher and do everything from helping a child to eat by himself to getting the older children out into the community according to Karen Cotterman, the program ' s stu- dent coordinator. Depending on the volunter ' s preference, he or she may work in special athletic programs, the shelterd work- shop, or in various classroom situations. At the Portage County Nursing Home, there are seven volun- teers from KSU who do what Student Coordinator Julie DePue calls friendly visiting. The volunteers work in the home, talk- ing and visiting with the residents and also, during off-duty hours, collecting prizes for the regular bingo games and plan- ning special parties for the holidays. 93 lilEHSTMID ARE NOT THE COUNTY POUND BUT A PRIVATE llON PROFIT CHARITABLE wyiNE seciETY ALL OUR FUNDS COME FROM DONATIONS.

Volunteers at the Animal Protective League have a choice between office work and caring for the pets that are brought in to the private, non-profit agency in Ravenna. The shelter is run entirely by KSU students with the exception of the director and a part-time cleaning person. Volunteers help the director counsel families of adopted pets on the importance of neutering and proper care. They also assist in the investigation of cruelty cases and keep their Congressmen informed of such issues as the use of decompression chambers. At the Western Reserve Psychiatric Habilitation Center, vol- unteers are involved in two areas of patient care. In addition to social activities, they participate in one-to-one interaction with the patients. During orientation, the students decide which part of the center they would like to work in. The grounds are divided into different cottages, which house residents at various lev- els of functioning. These programs are just a few of what the Office of Service- Learning has to offer. There are also the East Akron Community House, the Hattie Larlham Foundation, th e Kent Day Care Cen- ter, the Kent Tutorial Program, and a host of others associated with the university. These include the Akron Rape Crisis Center, the Big Brother Big Sister Program, Challenge to Read, Fair Housing Contract Service, Kent Environmental Council, County Welfare Department, and many others. In all programs, volunteers claim a variety of majors and ca- reer plans: business, social work, criminal justice, art therapy, psychology, nursing, journalism, and corrections are common, and there are more. A volunteer ' s field of study is no requirement in the program, but it can often be tied into his choice of exper- ience. It may seem ironic that the volunteers speak more of their own personal rewards than of those who benefit from their service. A volunteer from the Residential Intervention Center in Akron summed up the feelings of so many others: We ' re getting a lot of satisfaction out of it. -Diane Laney 95 Helping Hands How do handicapped students get into their wheelchairs, dress, wash, or prepare food? Most of us seldom give the sub- ject much thought. Despite their disabilities, most handicapped students at Kent State can provide for their own needs. Others require daily assistance. In this case, a disabled student will hire a personal care attendant who is a critical part of a student ' s life, ac- cording to a handicapped student Adelle Pietszak. Pietszak, a graduate student in rehabilitation counseling and a co-teacher for a racism and poverty class, has three attendants who pro- vide what I consider almost nursing care, she said. Depending on the disabled student ' s needs, an attendant ' s duties may include assisting with meals, laundry, housework, exercising, dressing, bathing, and toileting. About seven years ago the office of Services for Handi- capped Students (OSHS) began the Attendant Referral Pro- gram, permitting a handicapped student to contact OSHS for a list of personal care attendants. After this, the disabled stu- dent is responsible for interviewing, training, and supervising his attendants, Attendant Program counselor Joanna Gartner said. The students are the employers. The list of attendants is compiled by OSHS, which first adver- tises for them. After applying and passing a medical examina- tion, the prospective attendant is asked to sign up for a screen- ing, which is held once a semester to familiarize him with his future duties. Carl Eichhorn, a freshman telecommunications major, used the referral service to hire two attendants, although some dis- abled students prefer advertising for an attendant themselves. Attendants and disabled students generally agree, however, that an attendant should be a sensitive, responsible, patient person who doesn ' t mind doing things that can get messy or tedious. An attendant, therefore, is not a special person, but a typical student who is employed to help another student go to school. Attendant Elizabeth Ferguson, a junior majoring in individual and family development, said it best about attendants and handi- capped students: We ' re really people just like everybody else. — Susan Wanamaker Photos by John Neitzel 96 97 WomanShelter If I dwelled on the horror and violence, I ' d burn out real fast. When giving speeches on behalf of Woman-Shelter, I ' ve found that 50% of the women I ' ve spoken to have had contact with abuse in their immediate family. These words belong to Bonnie Burger, assistant director of WomanShelter, Inc., who adds, the job is frustrating and draining, but when I see a woman gaining her independence — that ' s what makes it all worth- while! Two years ago, the professional women of the Portage Coun- ty area realized battered women had no one to turn to in times of emergency. As their concern for these women grew, they met as a group and drew up laws and goals . . . the WomanShelter core group had been founded. These women now serve as board members of a volunteer, non-profit organization providing abused women and their children with a variety of services and assistance. The WomanShelter advises abused women concerning the best possible course of action to take if they decide to leave their homes. An emergency housing shelter is available for the woman (and her children) to live in while she begins to plan a life without abuse. WomanShelter also councils women by tele- phone on the shelter ' s 24-hour hotline. I ' m amazed by the community support and student volun- teers, Burger said. Many of our volunteers are Kent State University students. Telephone counselors assist the battered women by providing them with information and support. In fact, the password of WomanShelter is support. Although one woman ' s problem may seem inconsequential in comparison with another woman ' s troubles, volunteers are trained to treat every problem as extremely important. During support group sessions, a woman with problems speaks with other women in similar situations. WomanShelter ' s social services and legal advocates also give information and direct harassed women to professional legal services. And the emergency housing shelter offers a woman a place to put her shaken life back in order. Because of this range of services, no woman need face the ordeal of mental, emotional, or physical abuse by herself. All women have a friend in WomanShelter. — Jennifer DiMare Photos by Steve Goldstein Communication and support are the major goals of Kent ' s WomanShelter.

Pam Kleckner and Lynn Carlson spend more time at the KSU Airport than they do on campus, opposite. Brad Cotton, a nursing major and respiratory care technician, also occupies his days with a good deal of on-the-job experience, above. I never considered I ' d be the pilot, I was always the passenger. I don ' t know if it was the women ' s movement or what, but suddenly I realized I didn ' t have to be the passen- ger. — Lynn Carlson, 36, aerospace major. They were raised to be independent thinkers. They weren ' t excited by the possibilities of traditional careers. They became minorities — students of non-traditional occupations. A non-traditional occupation is, by one definition, one which employs 75% or more of one sex. That is a deceiving definition, however, belying the struggles and rewards of taking on a ca- reer not usually assumed by a person of your sex. Lynn Carlson was in nursing for a number of years before she made the decision to go into aerospace. She said she finds the main difference to be one of expectations. In pilot training, you ' re expected to be competent, autonomous, and perform very well. While those things are expected in nursing, you ' re not autonomous. There ' s always someone who knows more than you. Those expectations worked in reverse for George Gorby, 33, who had been a field service engineer for 10 years before entering the nursing program at KSU. He finds that patients constantly call him doctor — expecting that any male work- ing in a hospital would, of course, be a physician. The standard reply when you tell them you ' re a student nurse is, ' Well, that ' s okay, there ' s nothing wrong with that. ' A fellow male nursing student, Brad Cotton, doesn ' t feel at all uncomfortable in his role. He became interested in the field after getting into emergency medical training work through the KSU volunteer ambulance service. It ' s kind of fun being the only guy, he said. And above all, he finds the work meaningful and concrete. Being a nurse beats working in a steel mill. Pam Kleckner, an aerospace major, started out in special education and though she would be happier flying. She said she has found the atmosphere at the KSU airport to be one of complete equality. Out here you don ' t get any breaks because you are female, but it ' s not any harder because you are, she explained. That experience was one shared by many in non-traditional studies. Gorby summed it up best: If you ' re very professional and you show a lot of self-confidence, then there ' s usually no problem. — Lisa Schnellinger 101 Self-portraits 102 103 104 ICC 106 ' ' ..-s - - .,., « ' ■ V., — : « B l « ? f 1 1 1 ' 1 1 M B 107 Dennis Monbarren 108 student Government Fred Squillante In student government, the glory of the council table Is tempered by the tedium of the paperwork.

Kent State students are governed by three legislative bo- dies: the Undergraduate Student Caucus, Kent Interhall Council, and the Graduate Student Senate. These three parliamentary organizations have different functions and each represents a different group of students. Undergraduates can introduce their opinions into the Univer- sity community through Student Caucus. In addition to polling and interpreting these opinions. Caucus allocates student activ- ity fees to registered undergraduate organizations. A wide vari- ety of programming and services is also provided by undergrad- uate government, including voter registration, a security escort service, and a mimeograph printing service. Structural changes are currently being planned which will enable Student Caucus to operate with greater efficiency. Kent Interhall Council is the basic legislative body of the almost 6,000 resident students at KSU. Consisting of one repre- sentative for every 150 residents of each dorm, KIC ' s member- ship is elected or appointed from each House Council to repre- sent the hall ' s opinions and ideas. KIC ' s basic functions include the allocation of programming funds to each residence hall and the continuous review of residence hall policies and proce- dures. Working toward the improvement of graduate education in all aspect s of the University is the primary goal of the Graduate Student Senate. Each graduate department elects one senator to represent it. Traditional activities include the support of gra- duate students traveling to professional meetings and confer- ences, assistance in the publication of graduate students ' pa- pers in professional journals, and the purchase of these journals for the various departments. (Viembers of all student government groups gain leadership experience and often find positions of responsibility and re- spect within the University. These rewards, however, are tem- porary. The knowledge and confidence gained through partici- pation in student government is its most lasting consequence. —Jeffrey Jorney 109 110 Research Photos by Steve Goldstein At times, It ' s difficult to find anyttiing even vaguely resembling a crystal In ttie Liquid Crysta l Institute, Graduate researchi assistant Hsing-Ctiung Liu, opposite top, and Dr, Adrlaan DeVrles, opposite bottom, do a good deal of ttieir work with large and very complicated machinery. The tools of Dr, Gary Killian ' s trade are a bit more indicative of his purpose ... a study of reproduction in male animals. above. Research is a large part of the academic life at Kent State. Although KSU does almost no classified research, it ranks third in the state in money received for research, according to Carol Toncar, director of Sponsored Programs Administration. Research projects come in two categories. Funded research is sponsored by sources outside the University, such as govern- ment agencies, grants, and private industry. Nonfunded re- search is done by faculty members and graduate students in their particular fields. These researchers do not receive assis- tance from any source in or outside KSU. The physics department has the largest number of funded projects. In fact, all physics faculty members who applied for research funds this year received them. Areas researched by the department include medium energy physics, theoretical physics, medical and biological physics, and liquid crystals. The Liquid Crystal Institute here is under the direction of Dr. Glenn H. Brown, regents professor of chemistry. Liquid crystals are condensed phases of matter intermediate between solid and liquid. These phases can be found in many organic materi- als and are considered to be one of the few bridges between physics and biology. The Institute is one of the premier research facilities in the world for the study of liquid crystals. Dr. Bruce Roe, an associate professor of chemistry, is doing research in transfer ribonucleic acid, or tRNA. In the complex workings of the cell, an important function is the transferring of information between the nucleus and the area surrounding it, the cytoplasm. Transfer RNA takes biochemical messages from the DNA — the cell ' s master set of instructions — and car- ries it to the cytoplasm through messenger RNA, or mRNA. This action helps assemble proteins in the cell. Roe ' s research deals with the functions of tRNA in both healthy and diseased cells. By discovering how normal tRNA works and comparing it with tRNA in diseased cells, Roe hopes to determine the chemical structure of tRNA, how it is built, and how it functions. He states his purpose as trying to understand what is going on in one small part of the cell.

A light-hearted warning carries a serious message, this page. top. And Mrs. Pat Wildman. a technical associate in the Liquid Crystal Institute, examines a piece of the lab ' s equipment, above. Another researcher studying one small part of a biological process is Dr. Gary Killian, who is Investigating reproduction in male animals. Killian ' s research deals with the study of the epididymis in males and the capacitation of sperm in females. When sperm leaves the teste, it is not completely fertile. It travels from the teste through the epididymis and into the vas deferens — a sperm duct. It is not until the sperm moves through the epididymis that it becomes fertile. A second aspect of Killian ' s research is to study the changes in the sperm cell after it enters the female. The sperm cell is still not able to fertilize the ovum until after it enters the female and goes through a process of capacitation. Killian is studying this change in the sperm cell membrane with electron spin reso- nance spectroscopy and with the aid of Dr. Edward Gelerinter of the physics department. Although he is only working on lab animals at present, the long-term goal of Killian ' s studies is to help people who are infertile and to find new means of contraception. Research in plant biology is being done by Dr. Alan Graham. He is trying to reconstruct past environments in tropical regions based upon the study of plant fossils. The aim of Graham ' s research is to trace the long-term climate trends and to note plant and animal response to climate changes. Graham explained that his research is important because tropical regions on earth are disappearing at a rate of 1 48 acres per hour. By studying past adaptations to a changing environ- ment, predictions of responses to current changes may be pos- sible. Graham does research in Mexico, Panama, Puerto Rico, and other tropical areas of the world. Despite its variety, not all research here falls into what some researchers call the sexy category. Sexy areas of re- search are those most likely to appeal to the public and to funding agencies. The majority of KSU ' s research is basic and has general knowledge as its immediate goal with concrete results seen further down the road. —Pete Nofel 113 Greek Life What is a Greek? I ' m not talking about someone from Greece. I ' m talking about that mysterious group of people that move among us in satin jackets with foreign letters on them. You see them all over the place. You hear about them. Maybe you even talk about them. But there are some 600 of them on the campus of KSU and there seem to be all kinds of ideas of what they are all about. I set out with the determination to find the true Greek, stereo- types aside. I got a suprisingly fresh picture. They aren ' t all obnoxious snobs or jocks after all. They seem to be a group of guys and girls who simply want to learn how to grow together in a college community and how to contribute in a meaningful way. There are approximately 25 social fraternities and sororities registered with the Student Life department of the University. Some have houses, some must operate out of the Student Life office, but all are a family ... a brotherhood or sisterhood. There are certain things that one hears consistently when listening to Greeks talk about their organizations. Jerry Super, past President of Sigma Tau Gamma, stressed leadership and self-development as the things his fraternity strives for. Our fraternity is built on friendship . . . lasting friendship. It ' s like a big family, he said. Every Greek chapter has a commitment to society, university, and nation. And indeed, every Greek organization on campus is involved with its own service projects. Whether it ' s working with the Big Brother Big Sister program, or at the Kent Retirement Center as the brother of Alpha Epsilon Pi, or with handicapped children as the Alpha Epsilon Phi sorority does, every Greek organization has a number of projects that they work on each semester which they hope will benefit the community. But what of the stereotype that is so common of the Greeks? Everything has an image, says Pat Swerring, of Alpha Epsilon Phi. But you have to look beneath the surface. You see a girl in a sorority jacket with high heels and a lot of makeup and you get the wrong idea. Or you see a guy at the bar acting macho and that ' s just as bad. Susie Sorority has been around as long as there have been Greeks, but that image just isn ' t true. She strongly believes that because of a few, the whole system looks bad. The Greeks have had a slow recovery from the turbulent days Joann Calve 114 Joann Calve 115 of the ' 60s and early ' 70s, said Dave Flitman of AEPi. Frats were tossed off campus, but we ' re rebuilding. We ' re trying to shed the rowdy image. Don ' t get the wrong idea, says Joe Haddon of Alpha Chi Rho, a new fraternity. We like to drink beer and have fun, but that ' s not our only objective. He went on to explain the scholar- ship programs, athletic programs, and social activities that his fraternity is involved with. Indeed, this young organizatio n is already working toward its own house for the fall of ' 81. By all appearances, they are sure to make it. The Greek system has three main administrative bodies: In- ter-Fraternity Council (IFC), Inter-Greek Programming Board, and Panhellenic Council. IFC is the main body, with representa- tives from all the fraternities and sororities meeting once a week. Panhellenic Council is the governing body of the sorori- ties, and IGPB is the link from the Greeks to KSU and the community. Events like Greek Week, rush, which is the recruit- ment period for potential Greeks, and various social and athletic events are formulated through these groups. After talking with a good number of Greeks in their own envi- ronment, one can see that there are indeed a lot of myths about them. They ' re not all that different. Their houses — not to be confused with Animal House — are much like home with all that name implies. Those students on campus who feel lost and caught up in the confusion of Kent State may do well to check out some of the fraternities and sororities. Jerry Super would advise them to look around until they find a group they feel comfortable with, and chances are very good that they will find one. A final and very important aspect of the Greek experience which should be mentioned is its duration. All the Greeks I talked with said the same thing: You can come back to campus in one year or ten years and you ' ll find people there who will welcome you as one of their own. As members of national organizations, KSU ' s Greeks can find similar fellowship at campuses across the country. There ' s a whole new world that opens up to a guy when he joins a fraternity, Super said. Experiences he could never know otherwise open up to him. It ' s a real growing-up process. — Rich Jordan Colin Klein 116 r U ■♦ ' ' : ' i lk ' I H WHi viA l w w L l r -vBi l 1 ' t t- ' v ■ ■•;■-•■;. h. l r i9ha Betty Bartholomew 117 May 4, 1980 On a sunny spring Sunday, the usual variety of outdoor people — Frisbee-throwers, tanning buffs, romantics, and the like — began to gather on the Commons in front of Taylor Hall to take in something more than the normal recreational activities. It was not quite noon as they sat on the hilly perimeter w atching the growing activity below. Most of the observers knew what was about to happen, though not many were old enough to under- stand it. They watched as the political banners once again covered the grounds and chants of anti-this and pro-that filled the air. The crowd, made up of many faces from many places, was making Its annual convergence here to commemorate the deaths of four students who were slain by Ohio National Guards- men on this campus on May 4, 1970 . . . exactly ten years ago. The shootings were a horrifying climax to a weekend of Viet- nam-inspired dissent which occurred at many college cam- puses across the country. Yet the confrontation in unsuspecting Kent, Ohio, was not perceived as nonviolent protest. To the town, it seemed an outright revolution and the conflict shifted from opposition to the war to protest of the presence of the guard on campus. The weekend ended that Monday in rifle fire that was to echo through KSU for years to come. It provided a fatal solution that left Allison Krause, Jeffrey Miller, Sandra Scheur, and William Schroeder dead. Dean Kahler paralyzed for the rest of his life, and eight others wounded. The 61 bullets fired by the guards- men that day were not a final solution, however, for May 4 remained an issue throughout the decade. And so it was May 4, 1980, the ninth commemoration of the shootings. This, the tenth anniversary, was different, said one man who seemed to have been part of many May 4s, including the first. It was different, yet still the same, he said. The somber, often heart-wrenching candlelight procession and vigil was there. So were the march around campus and the rally with its assortment of speakers, some urging solemn remembrance while others thundered for total revolution. May 4, it seemed, meant many things to many people. It was all there, the familiar chants, the banners, the television crews. All the emotions were there, too, said the man, ... except the anger. The anger was missing. Colin Klein 118 Fred Squillanle 119 So went the tenth anniversary of the May 4 shootings. And after the speeches, all that remained were the Frisbee-throw- ers, tanning buffs, romantics, and a few hundred scattered leaf- lets, one of which read, Long live the spirit of Kent State! The ten years of May 4s were filled with court cases, pro- tests, and reflection. Two notable events include the 1977 gym controversy and the out-of-court settlement between the defen- dants in a civil suit and the parents of the dead and wounded students. In 1977, the plans to build an annex to Memorial Gym, which would extend into the area of the shootings, brought opposition that evolved into the erection of Tent City on the site in protest. The university went to the courts to quell the protests and evict the Tent City dwellers. Actual construction of the annex ended the controversy, but not without leaving behind chilling images of 1970 when, in one sl irmish, police used tear gas to keep protesters off a fence around the site. In 1979, the May 4 conflict officially drew to a close when a $675,000 settlement was made to the parents with a state- ment of regret. Aside from these big events, however, nearly every year held some kind of activist effort. In 1971, 10,000 signatures demanding a federal investigation were presented to the White House. In 1972, 129 persons were arrested in a Rockwell Hall sit-in. 50,000 signatures were sent to Washington in 1973. In 1976, Student Caucus members is- sued a list of concerns about the gym annex. 193 persons were arrested at the annex site in 1977. In 1978, seven persons were arrested for reading the First Ammendment in the Student Center Plaza in defiance of a court order banning demonstra- tions without permission. That same year the University reject- ed a memorial sculpture depicting the biblical scene of Abraham about to slay Isaac as inappropriate. As 1980 marked the tenth anniversary of May 4, the contro- versies remained. Plans to build an orientation marker in the form of an arch were scuttled when the project was blasted by negative opinion. Like the four who were slain, it seemed the spirit of May 4 would not die peacefully. — Mark D. Lauffer Dale Dengerd Fred Squillante 120 Dale Dengerd 12-; Dale Dengerd May 4 is always a popular day for displays of activism. In 1 980, the anti-draft and anti-war chants echoed slogans of a decade before, above. In 1978, many demonstrated in defense of their right to demonstrate, opposite. 122 Activism It is a common assumption that activism at KSU began with that famous anti-war demonstration on May 4, 1970, initiating a decade of involvement in a variety of causes. Although May 4 has been credited for sparking a decade of activism, protest was nothing new for KSU even in 1970. Only a few years before the shootings, a visible and angry student group. Black United Students, was an active force on campus as it gathered black students for rallies and classroom walkouts. BUS marched against racism in the ' 60s and the issue of May 4 was kept alive in the ' 70s, despite the emergence of the so- called me generation. Would activism end as the ' 80s began? Apparently not. The year 1980 saw new groups, though some bore familiar causes. One organization, the Kent chapter of the Committee Against Registration and the Draft, materialized on campus as military draft registration was reinstated. In the Stu- dent Center Plaza, Blowing in the Wind joined Born to Run as students rallied once more. A month after that rally, the May 4 Task Force held a press conference to announce the schedule of events for the tenth anniversary of the shootings. In December, two students were found innocent by the All Campus Hearing Board of charges stemming from a no nukes protest against a job recruiter from the Babcock and Wilcox Company, a major manufacturer of nuclear reactors. As 1980 began. May 4 Task Force members Alan Canfora, who was wounded here in 1970, and Greg Rambo, who wit- nessed the incident, said activism was not dead. Only the issues have changed, Canfora said. When an issue arises that the people really feel strongly about, the time frame does not matter, Rambo added. They will organize themselves and do something about it. With an anti-abortion anti-ERA coup brewing in the streets and the radical Moral Majority gaining influence, we learned that activism in 1980 can take on many faces — liberal, conserva- tive, or otherwise. For whatever reason, KSU activism seems to have subsided. Perhaps this is because of the University ' s dim view of protest. There is a pragmatic position taken by the University that activ- ism of any kind is going to do harm to the institution. The issues, no matter what they may be, are always hot potatoes. — Mark D. Lauffer Fred Squillante 123 Fred Squillante 124 Fred Squillante Spring has no exclusive claim to demonstration and protest at Kent State. On February 7, 1979, the Committee Against Registration and the Draft held a rally in the Student Center Plaza opposing President Carter ' s proposed reinstate- ment of registration, opposite. And in late October of the same year, a group of black students staged a march during the Parents ' Day game to protest alleged discrimination against black football players, above. 125 Dave Maxwell ENTERTAINMENT Steve Goldstein 128 Halloween Fred Squillante 129 Joann Calve 130 Fred Squillante 131 H P 1 1 H H 1 H m v r 9 B Bh| Hir l 1 H PP B Ksi Jj S Hj ■ H ; N.

For example, Gumbies seldom attend any but the most exclusive hat parties, opposite. In Johnson Hall, Bela Debitsky participates in a Beer Stomping party to consolidate aluminum cans being collected for recy- cling, above. Variety is the spice of life . . . and of partying. That ' s why Kent is so spicey. It offers some of the best places to party at, people to party with, and reasons for partying. Since the Toga Party ' s introduction, theme parties have be- come very popular. All types of themes are used. There are hat parties, dance parties, beach parties in the winter, and of course Halloween parties to name just a few. It ' s always inter- esting to see what turns up next. House parties are another favorite. When the festivities be- gin, residents lose control of their domain and who knows what could happen next. Apartment complexes like Glenmorris and Rhodes Road have gone a step further by pooling their re- sources and throwing huge keg parties. Some crazy things go on at these big bashes. The dormitories are noted for their Hairy Buffalo parties. One or two floors get together and mix up some inconceivable con- coction which, after the first glassful, usually tastes pretty good. With the morning comes the realization that the first glass should have been the last. Fraternities and sororities are famous for their rush parties. And what a rush they are. Craziness abounds and everyone has a good time. In the future, however, some fraternities will prob- ably be more careful with their guest list because one never knows who might show up . . . right, Sigma Chi? Different sports teams are often the hosts of some good parties around Kent. The swimming team is all wet when it comes to partying while the football team can boast of a perfect party season. The gymnasts jump for joy when they let loose. The track and cross country teams would run a mile for a party and the basketball team has some high times during their par- ties and some tall tales to tell afterwards. This is just a random sample of the merrymaking that goes on In Kent. The residents of KSU and the surrounding community throw some of the best parties found anywhere. The best fea- ture of Kent State is Its size. There are always new people to party with and places to party at. So remember, no matter how well a party Is planned, it ' s not a party without the partiers and we have some of the finest. — Janet Gaynor 135 Fred Squillante 136 Dance Bars I was sorry when disco died. I didn ' t cry or anyttiing, but it was sad. No more I Will Survive on the old clock-radio at 6:30 a.m., which is precisely when you ' re sure you won ' t. No more shaking your body down or jive talking or spinning off to Funky Town. Darn. But did disco take dancing with it when it died? Did disco have anything to do with dancing in the first place? Not for most of us. You can still dance in Kent and you don ' t need lessons or poly- ester or roller skates. You don ' t even need a partner. Welcome back the good old days of sweat and live music and dancing in tennis shoes. And welcome back the total experience of danc- ing ' til you drop. The only place in town that actually succumbed to disco is alive and, well, not exactly in mourning. The floor is still lighted, the walls still mirrored, and the music still recorded, but things have definitely changed at the Krazy Horse. Now it ' s the Home of the Bull and the DJ plays oldies and rock ' n roll back to back with what ' s left of current disco hits. Peer pressure? Filthy McNasty ' s is certainly the best-named bar in town. Filthy ' s is big, but you ' d still be smart to come early. The place is crawling with groupies — Slydettes, members of the Starfleet, the girls next door on Easy Street. But they don ' t get in your way. They mostly stand around and lust at the band. And the band plays around and pitches the bartenders, even if they can ' t hear the tip bell when it rings. Then there ' s Genesis, perhaps the only bar in Kent catering to the Urban Cowboy syndrome. On Western night, you ' d better leave your knife, guns, and horse at the door. Your Texas two- step, however, is more than welcome and your Stetson will get you in free. For many KSU underclassmen, the ultimate in dance bars is the Rathskellar on Oldies night. It ' s close, it ' s wild, and the next song is guarenteed to be an old favorite. The gator, the swim, and twist are the norm instead of the weird exception. Every Oldies crowd wants to have a good time, especially since deep down inside it knows that on a Wednesday night, it shouldn ' t. So whether it ' s nostalgia you ' re looking for or the newest wave, Kent ' s dance bars won ' t disappoint you. You can even disco if you really want to . . . are you sure you really want to? — Barb Gerwin Steve Goldstein At times, the only man near the Krazy Horse dance floor is the DJ, opposite top.

At the Loft, opposite top and above, clean tables, empty ashtrays, and open eyes indicate that the fun is just beginning. Down the street at Ray ' s, opposite bottom, the good times have been flowing for quite some time. If it ' s Saturday night and you ain ' t got nobody, the places to go in Kent are JB ' s, Ray ' s Place, Mother ' s, and the Loft . . . four local bars which add spark to area social life. The bars draw a crowd that ranges from businessmen to students who come to meet and mingle, drink, eat, and just enjoy. All are within walking distance of each other, so in one evening many patrons make the rounds. Walking down North Water Street, one notices a maroon can- opy bearing the white initials JB ' s. Inside, there are two bars, the ground level and downstairs. On a typical Wednesday night, the dark, smoke-filled rooms draw a moderate to heavy crowd who have come to listen to the Somatics and the F-Models downstairs or to some blues by Otis Trotter and the Smokers upstairs. There is nothing resembling class, but it ' s the best bar in town, says Vicki Fresh, a JB ' s regular. It ' s really cozy and there ' s always a familiar crowd. Going south of JB ' s to Main Street and Franklin, one finds the Loft, where customers can sit down and order a pizza with their pitcher of Stroh ' s. I like the Loft because my friends are there, Jim Celuch, Loft patron, said. My roommate likes it for the cheap booze. Around the corner from the Loft are Kent ' s current favorites — Ray ' s Place and Mother ' s, both owned and managed by Charlie Thomas. He believes that it ' s atmosphere that brings in the customers. Ray ' s is surrounded by booths. In the center of the floor, beams rise to the ceiling. As the music streams from the juke- box, customers play pinball or order a meal. They have the best place in town for a good, cheap lunch, according to Tim Roberts, a four-year Ray ' s regular. It ' s a good college atmo- sphere. Right above Ray ' s is the dark obscurity of Mother ' s. Inside, the regular crowd saunters about listening to the band of the night. The music ranges from rock ' n roll to reggae to country, Thomas said. It ' s really casual, so people feel secure here. Whether that security is what you crave or you ' re simply looking for a cold glass of beer, Kent can accomodate you. For everything from you-made-it-through-Monday bashes to Hap- py Hour on Friday, the place (or places) to go is probably right down the street ... or just around the corner. — Elaine Rivera 139 Self-portraits 140 141 142 143 Gymnastics in Motion Colin Klein Dave Maxwell 144 Good Woman of Setzuan Dave Maxwell 145 Eddie Money Dave Maxwell 146 Breathless Mike Dobrinich 147 Fall Dance Concert 148 Colin Klein I Steve Goldstein 149 Gil Scott-Heron Fred Squillante 150 Ian Hunter Todd Rundgren Henri Adjodha 151 Southside Johnny Photos by Dave Maxwell 152 153 American Noise Photos by Mike Dobrinich 154 The Club 155 Slave John Neitzel - H ' ■ ?

Joe McCafferty, a sophomore business major, is one of the many undergraduate students who chooses to work for the Intramural Department, opposite bottom. Students who do not participate in Kent State ' s varsity athlet- ics have traditionally resorted to participation in intramural and campus recreation programs. In just two years, student partici- pation in intramural and recreational activity has more than dou- bled. The Intramural Department attributes its success to the construction of the new gym annex, improved playing fields, and the addition of graduate assistants to help in the management of the department. Also, $78,000 was added to the Intramural budget this year to accomodate the increase in new clubs and students. More than 200 KSU students are employed by the department as gym supervisors, officals, and lifeguards. Some of these students are on the executive board of the Intramurals and Campus Recreation Association (I.C.R.A.). Its council meetings are held twice a month to establish and change rules on club activities. The Association also offers suggestions for coordi- nation of various activities. Thirty-four clubs and twenty-seven tournaments are annually offered by the department to students. For the first time in Kent State ' s history, softball was switched from the spring and joined football as a fall sport this year. The change was made so students would enjoy a longer and drier playing season. In addition to these conventional sports, cricket, England ' s version of baseball, was introduced as a new club this year. Modern dance is the department ' s oldest consistent club, and regularly performs concerts. Other clubs include cheerleading, lacrosse, rugby, water polo, and synchronized swimming. This variety attracts many students whose athletic interests are not satisfied by approved varsity programs. — Terry Headlee 167 Intramural Softball « Fred Squillante Jim Celuch 168 Fred Squillante 169 ' -:ft?t ' ' i ¥« ' - ?W 1 Fred Squillante 170 Dave Maxwell 171 Dave Maxwell 172 Dave Maxwell 173 Photos by Dennis Monbarren 174 175 Joann Calve 176 Intramural Football Fred Squillante 177 John Neitzel 178 Fred Squillante 179 Steve Goldstein 180 Fred Squillante 181 ZILCH Joann Calve 182 Steve Goldstein 183 Intramural Basketball Fred Squlllante 184 Steve Goldstein I I Dennis Monbarren 185 Photos by Fred Squillante 186 f 187 Dennis Monbarren Chris Russell 188 Fred Squlllante 189 Football Tripling your victory output in the space of one season could be considered a major improvement, but the Kent State football team ' s leap from 1-10 in 1979 to 3-8 in 1980 hardly had its fans jumping for joy. The 1980 Flashes entered the season with several new fea- tures. The new Athletic Director, Paul Amodio, a KSU alumnus, promised to upgrade the athletic program. Nine junior college transfers, three transfers from other colleges, and twenty-one incoming freshmen were on hand to start the season. Twenty- four lettermen returned, including thirteen starters. New uni- forms made the Flashes resemble the San Diego Chargers and the marching band returned to the Dix Stadium field after a one year absence. All these new points were part of what Flash Head Coach Ron Blackledge hoped would be the first winning team since 1977. The new-look Flashes began the season with three consecu- tive road games, a tough start for any team. In the opener, KSU traveled to West Virginia to face Marshall, a team which also went 1-10 in 1979. Unfortunately for the Flashes, a record crowd at Marshall ' s Fairfield Stadium seemed to spur the host Thun- dering Herd on as they triumphed with a score of 1 7-7. The Flash defense had problems containing the Marshall running game, an area which would plague the entire season. Game two saw the Flashes go to Annapolis, Maryland, to meet the United States Naval Academy. They had also ventured into one of those games where nothing seems to go right and were defeated 31-3. Starting quarterback and punter Jeff Mor- row suffered cracked ribs on the second play from scrimmage, an injury which was to hamper him the rest of the year, and the Flashes turned the ball over six times. The final game of the trip was also the Flashes first Mid- American Conference match against defending MAC champ Central Michigan. KSU had a strong defensive effort and held its opponent to 14 points for most of the game in a 21-6 loss. October 4 was notable for several things. The Flashes made their 1980 home debut, the marching band was back, and the Flashes won their first home game since 1978. After spotting the Ohio University Bobcats a 14-0 first half lead, the Flashes came back in the second half to capture a 15-14 victory in the Dave Maxwell 190 Fred Squillante 191 Dave Maxwell 192 final 29 seconds. Quarterback Pat Gladfelter hit slotback Dar- ren Brown with a nine-yard touchdown pass to close the gap to 13-14. Then, on the two-point conversion, halfback J.C. Stafford took the pitch from Gladfelter and lofted a wobbly pass into the end zone to tight end Mike Suren for the winning points. Unfortu- nately for the Flashes, most of the original crowd of 7,339 had already left, leaving their comeback largely unappreciated. This was a pattern to be repeated at the other home games, where KSU learned to play well (3-2) for a small crowd. Next week ' s forty-ninth annual Homecoming game between KSU and guest Western Michigan was best described by West- ern Michigan Head Coach Elliot Uzelac. Bizarre. That game was the most bizarre one I ' ve ever seen. In a game filled with mistakes. Western Michigan finally beat the Flashes 28-2 1 on a touchdown pass in the last 15 seconds. Next, Kent State traveled to Bowling Green and met the Fal- cons in the midst of a three-game winning streak. The fired-up Bowling Green team literally blew the Flashes off the field, 24-3, as a 30 miles per hour wind hampered both teams ' kicking and passing games. KSU returned home for the next two games to host Eastern Michigan and Northern Illinois. A 27 point third quarter helped the Kent team bury Eastern Michigan 35-12. The following week the Flashes met Northern Illinois in a fight for the MAC title and came out second best in a 35-14 defeat. The next two games showed the Flashes two new ways to lose. Ball State quarterback Mark O ' Connell passed for 307 yards in a 34-7 Cardinal victory. The following week both of Miami ' s running backs gained over 100 yards as the Redskins defeated the Flashes 49-14. In the season finale, KSU overcame a 14-0 deficit to defeat the Toledo Rockets 34-14. The Flashes set a team record with six interceptions in that game. Two days after the Toledo game, Athletic Director Paul Amo- dio announced that Head Coach Ron Blackledge ' s contract would not be renewed for the 1981 season. Amodio said, Coach Blackledge made valuable contributions to the program and we will use those contributions to build an exciting future for Kent State football. In December it was announced that the new head coach would be Ed Chlebek, who coached at Boston College. — Jeff Gallatin Fred Squillante 193 Fred Squillante 194 Steve Goldstein 195 Frisbee Dale Dengerd 196 Fred Squlllante 197 Field Hockey Steve Goldstein 198 Jim Celuch 199 mm ' -jifv:. i :v Men ' s and Women ' s Cross Country Photos by Fred Squillante ' !.?8f ' ■ .

A gathering of MAC sportswriters seemed to concur with Douma ' s assess- ment, for at the conference preview the Flashes were picked to finish in sixth place. However, games are won on the court rather than in the polls, and KSU finished in ninth place with a 5- 11 conference record and 7-19 overall. The Flashers main problem seemed to be an inability to find a starting lineup. They opened the season with sophomore Robert Kitchen and Geoff Warren at guard, freshman Mike McClenahan at center, and sophomores Rob Koch and Keith Gordon at for- ward. When the season was over, only Warren remained a start- er. Douma experimented with eleven different lineups during the year and Warren ' s teammates on the final starting squad includ- ed freshman Curtis Moore as the other guard, sophomore Ed Kaminski at center, and junior Tyrone Evans and sophomre Greg Cudworth at forward. Most of Douma ' s changes represented an effort to arrive at a winning combination to players. Several replacements, howev- er, were forced. On January 29, co-captain Robert Kitchen, who had already left the team for personal reasons, was suspended indefinitely for an attitude not conducive to the welfare of the team. After virtually rewriting the record book for freshmen during his 1979-80 season. Kitchen played only 15 games as a sophomore. Robert Brannon, a freshman center, was lost be- cause of academic problems and junior guard Kenny Howell was sidelined by torn ligaments. With three games left in their 1980-81 season, the Flashes were still mathematically in the race to qualify for the MAC tournament. An overtime loss to Ohio University, however, end- ed this hope and the season closed as it had begun, without mention of a conference title. — Kevin Huhn Steve Goldstein 208 Fred Squillante 209 Fred Squillante 210 A Dave Maxwe 211 212 I Wheelchair Basketball Photos by John Neilzel 213 Hockey After ten years, Kent State University finally has a varsity hockey program to match its beautiful Ice Arena. Following the success of the 1979-80 Clipper hockey team, I wanted the varsity status, said Don Lumley, the Arena ' s director. I knew it would be difficult to make arrangements for the administration and operation of a varsity hockey team within the Arena, but it could be done. The announcement that ice hockey had been designated a varsity sport was made by C.W. Ingler, Vice President for Uni- versity Affairs, on June 13, 1980. In his announcement, Ingler said, The program has been so successful that it will be sup- ported entirely by its own income and by the Ice Arena. It will, however, operate under the standards maintained by the Direc- tor and Department of Intercollegiate Athletics. The newest Flashes on campus are coached by Doug Ross, a 1976 Olympian, who guided the Clippers to a 25-9-2 record in his first year as coach here in 1979-80. Ross decided to sched- ule some of the toughest teams in Division I to introduce his players to big time college hockey. I felt it would be better for the development of the team to play as tough a schedule as possible, and so far we ' ve done quite well, Ross said halfway through his second season. But next year I won ' t schedule as many early games. Among the competition were such powers as the University of Illinois-Chicago Circle, Lake Forest, Number College, the Uni- versity of Michigan-Dearborn, and Canisius College. Road trips were made to Eastern Michigan, Army, Air Force, and the Brock- port State and Geneso State tournaments. Ross was assisted by Mitch Korn, who served as goalie coach until he was offered the position of assistant director of Miami University ' s ice arena at the end of the fall semester. Korn will also serve as goalie coach for the Redskin varsity hockey team. Ross ' s other assistant is Steve Dethy, who coaches the ju- nior varsity squad and the forwards on the varsity team. Being involved with a program that is in its incubation stage gives me the opportunity to learn the ropes of coaching from A to Z, Dethy said. The Flashes average attendance for the first varsity season was 686. The reason for that impressive turnout was given by a KSU sophomore who said, The hockey team is one of the most exciting teams on campus . . . and one of the best. Although plagued by early problems of discipline, adjustment, and academic ineligibility, the team had an encouraging first season and many individual players stood out. Doug Mauser lead the Flashes in scoring (as of the last home series against the University of Illinois-Chicago Circle) and was the spark that ignited the entire offense. Ed Merrit, Mark Davies, and Scott Baker played important roles in the teams resurgence during the second half of the season. And goalie Carlos Cookie Gonza- lez manned the nets with more than 1,298 minutes of action In over 23 games. The attitude of the team has steadily improved according to both players and coaches. When we started the season we were strangers to each other, but now we have finally put things together as a team, said Ed Merrit. I am impressed by the group of guys we have here, Coach Ross agreed. They could have gotten down on themselves early in the season, but everybody bounced back and pulled together to work for the team. They proved to themselves that they can compete with Division 1 teams. — Steve Sefchik 214 Fred Squillante Dave Maxwell 215 Dave Maxwell Steve Goldstein 216 Henri Adjodha 217 Steve Goldstein M Dennis Monbarren Joy Poore 218 Men ' s and Women ' s Swimming Dennis Monbarren 219 Wrestling Fred Squillante 220 Steve Goldstein 221 Women ' s Gymnastics Fred Squillante 222 Colin Klein 223 Fred Squillante 224 Men ' s Gymnastics Colin Klein 225 Volleyball 226 Photos by Dennis Monbarren 227 Steve Goldstein 1 ra c - ajPPWII • MB g g : bj it. , ' i ' Z 4 H Vi .

The social calender of Chi O is very full with frat parties, rush parties, hayrides, formals, serenading and Greek Week — to name a few. Just as important as our social events are our philanthropies. Some of them are trick or treating for Unicef, a Halloween party for underprivileged children and a bingo party at Kentway Retirement Center. There are also many other phil- anthropies. These are just a few of the reasons why Chi Omega is so special. 283 The CREW Hawk Talk Crack! The cry goes out . . . The nectar of the gods flows freely amongst these chosen few . . .

Warnock Jim Celuch 331 Graduate Students There are twenty-five schools and departoients with graduate programs at Kent State and the resulting plethora of available courses of study has created a type of subculture at the Univer- sity. Graduate students are students . . . and yet, they aren ' t. They exist somewhere between undergraduate and faculty, at- tending classes like their younger counterparts and often teach- ing those counterparts as well. For many, it is a time of role conflict and identity crisis. The life of a grad is more complex and pressured than most people realize. At this level of learning, students are required to show the ability of independent thought, to draw on a back- ground of information, and to logically consider new problems. Norm Hudson, a grad student studying chemistry at Kent State and the Northeastern Ohio Universities Medical School, is a typical grad in many respects. He is in his mid-twenties, mar- ried, always on a tight budget, and accustomed to fourteen-hour workdays. The amount of work is overwhelming, Norm said. It can affect all of your outside relationships. The pressure of the work became so demanding that Norm and his wife have separated. She moved back to Indiana and is now teaching learning disabled students. We only see each other once a month, but the time together is better because I ' m not busy studying or working, Norm explained. And when Norm works, he works. He arrives at the Medical School at around nine each morning and spends part of the day working on his thesis, studying chemistry , or attending class. The rest of the day is spent on research that is part of his assistantship. It is usually eleven before he gets home. The heavy work load in only one of the differences between undergraduate and graduate life according to Norm. You think differently when you are an undergrad, he said. When you are in graduate school you have to do more thinking on your own. You have to draw on things you have learned. For Sandy Freeman, President of the Graduate Students Sen- ate, the trip to grad school took a different route. She worked as an alcoholism counselor before returning to school to study sociology. I ' m a mole, she admitted. I didn ' t want to see the devestation anymore so I retreated to the academic life. Money is the biggest problem facing grad students, Sandy feels. Many are in excellent shape financially, she said, but many are poor, getting food stamps and buying clothes from Goodwill. She agrees with Norm on the long hours of study and the necessity of a foundation of knowledge. Professors approach undergrads with the attitude that the students know nothing. They expect more from grade. Sandy ' s husband, Roger, is also a students majoring at the University, in journalism. Because both are in school, it is hard for them to find the time or money to get away from work. We have to work on mutual respect and give each other space, Sandy said. We set blocks of time for recreation and don ' t do things on the spur of the moment. Another grad student, Paul Facinelli, also worked for several years before beginning his graduate studies. Because of his job as a reporter for the Akron Beacon Journal, he had money in the bank when he returned to school. In one year, he has watched that sum slowly disappear. I ' m watching every penny, he said. I started with several thousand dollars in the bank and a gra- duate assistantship, but by this summer, I ' ll be out of money. Paul ' s ambition is to teach journalism at the college level. For the present, however, he finds his position as student and teacher somewhat awkward. I need to maintain a certain aloof- ness because of the teacher-student relationship, he ex- plained, but when I ' m in class, ! have the same problem In reverse. Like most grad students, Paul takes his responsibilties very seriously. He wants to turn our aggressive reporters, and teach- ing them gives him an extremely warm sense of accomplis- ment. For all the hours spent teaching, taking classes, and working on his thesis, Paul does not consider himself out of the ordinary. I ' m not exceptional, he said. I ' m just doing what a lot of grad students do. — Mark Barnette Sandy Freeman, above, Norm Hudson, opposite top, and Paul Facinelli, oppo- site bottom, experience the ruts and rewards of life as grad students. 332 Photos by Fred Squillante 333 ' Si- W : (K • -- v HSIP iill iH Fred Squillante Dave Maxwell 334 BUS Eric Williams looks back on his first semester as president of Black United Students with very few regrets. It ' s been very, very satisfying, he said of fall 1980, which was a period of continued growth for the organization. All 1200 of Kent State ' s black students are automatically members of BUS, and the organization tries to meet the needs of every one of them. BUS is involved in a variety of program- ming to meet such needs, ranging from cultural and academic activities to social and entertainment events. The one thread which holds these myriad activities together is a push for student involvement, not just among blacks, but among all KSU students. You simply can ' t go through this University just going to classes and nothing else. It ' s not enough, Williams said. In an effort to combat such student apathy, BUS annually holds its Involvement Week, which offers a series of speakers and activities geared, as the name implies, to getting students involved. In 1980, Involvement Week ran from September 22 to September 26 and featured talks by Williams and Director of Pan-African Studies Dr. Edward Crosby, as well as a rally for the football team. The message throughout was clear. There are so many organizations here that there is bound to be something for everyone, Williams said during his speech. If you ' re not involved, you don ' t know what you ' re missing. But while Involvement Week was an important five days on the BUS calendar, the highlight of the semester came in November during Renaissance Week. Climaxed by the annual Renais- sance Ball, the week focused on developing black cultural con- sciousness and celebrating the beauty of women of color. BUS brought poet David Mathews, the only person ever to win the Los Angeles Poem Society ' s Poem of the Year Award twice, to the Kiva on November 5. A crowd of 300 watched intently as Mathews provided them with some food for the soul. Moving about the stage accompanied by light and sound, Mathews did more than simply read words from a page. He spoke to the audience about life, love, blacks and whites, and a whole range of other human concerns. Two days later, on Friday, November 7, Renaissance Week concluded with the Renaissance Ball, BUS ' S major event of the semester. A crowd of over 700 packed the Student Center ballroom to enjoy the pageant-like festivities, watching on as twelve contestants vied for the title of Renaissance Queen. The candidates opened the evening with a talent competition, which featured acts of song and dance, dramatic readings, and even a bit of gymnastics. When that was over, the crowd danced to the music of Vital Connection while the judges tallied their votes. Poise, character, and talent were as important as beauty in determining the winner. One woman was chosen from each class to represent all women of color. Freshman queen was Melissa Bass, sophomore queen was Andrenee Fant, junior queen was Janine King, and winning the senior title and the title of official Renaissance Queen was Anna Turner. Eric Williams lauded the Ball as the best ever, but quickly gave the praise to coordinator Paul Guy. Guy himself was quick to point out the work done by his assistant coordinator, Greg Collins, and the rest of the Renaissance Ball committee. There was an immense amount of work done this year, Guy stressed. And the result was an unqualified success. While the Renaissance Ball might be the most overt example of BUS ' S accomplishments, there is another, and perhaps more important, side to the organization. This is exemplified by the Progressive Education Community School, a program BUS runs every Saturday of the school year. BUS brings children from the Kent-Ravenna area, and especially those from the impover- ished Skeels-McElrath neighborhood, to KSU for a day of learn- ing and fun. Rex Marshall, director of the program, said the school provides services including personalized tutoring which the kids simply might not get anywhere else. In its twelfth year on campus, BUS is firmly established as an important force in the lives of KSU ' s black students. But Wil- liams stresses the need for the organization to grow and change with the times. We ' re here for the students, not ourselves, Williams said. We always do, and always will, keep that in mind. — Dan Gilmore 335 Events Nature showed its ugly side in 1980. A lone man walks in what is left of Balvano, Italy, above top. A devastating earthquake struck southern Italy in November, killing 3,076 people; 200,000 were left homeless. The United States also felt the fury of mother nature. Mount St. Helens erupted in May, above; the tons of debris killed 34 people. A fire at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas killed 84 people, opposite top. Nature, however, did show a good side in 1980.
