A time to pore over the campus map again and again, memorizing all the buildings. It ' s the time when the high school senior becomes the college freshman. During Orientation Week, freshmen students learn all the fundamentals for surviving at KSU. Through assigned groups, each with their own faculty advisor, they are taught how to decipher registration forms, instructed which classes to take and which teachers to avoid, and given the campus tour no less than fifteen times. Recreational activities are also part of Orientation Week. Each student group is assigned a time in which they partici- pate in group sports. The City of Kent becomes part of the act with its annual sidewalk sale involving area merchants. As for nightlife, the Rathskeller probably gets more busi- ness during Orientation Week than any other time of year. The pizza delivery people run themselves ragged filling the orders of ravenous freshmen to whom cheap, cardboard-like pizza is a novelty. And Downtown, at least for those of legal age, becomes a nightly visiting spot. Scheduling classes is one of the more trying aspects of Orientation Week. Freshmen are presented with a catalog, schedule book, and a foreign-looking computer form. Given this, they attempt to construct a schedule that fulfills all o f their General Education Requirements, puts them at junior standing and lets them sleep in until noon every day; an admirable, yet somewhat unrealistic goal. But after the scheduling hassles are over and students have spent their every last cent on junk food and alcohol, most everyone settles down and prepares for the onslaught of upperclassmen. Soon the campus will be crawling with people of all ages and backgrounds. Another year has be- gun! ■ Laura Buterbaugh The transition to uni- versity life is a big step for most people. New faces, new places and a new lifestyle are just a part of what con- fronts freshmen when they come to KSU.

Orientation Photos by Jim Fossett Making your room a home away from home Is a challenge, but the rewards once you ' ve finished are worth the eHort. 27 Dorm Life Pictures, above and upper right, by Jim Fossett College lifestyles offer the best of times and the worst of times — late night chats, late night spats, friends for life and social strife. On- and off-campus living, say stu- dents who have experienced both, sup- plies all of the above and quite a bit more. I wanted a place of my own, privacy, responsibility, no quiet hours, no RAs and real food is the consensus of students who chose to leave the dorms after their required two-year stay. Sue Stepanic, senior bio-chem major and resident of Glen Morris Apartments, said the greatest problem in the dorms was the lack of privacy. I needed time to be alone, and in a dorm room there is no place to go except your top bunk or a bath- room stall. In an apartment, there are at least three other rooms that might be emp- ty and can be called ' home. ' Manchester Resident Adviser (RA) Tony Siekman said the major complaint of dorm dwellers is abiding by the policies, fol- lowed closely by noise level restraints. Senior public relations major Eric Vaughn spent two years in McSweeney Hall, where most partying was reserved for weekends. He said it was relatively qui- et until Residence Services experimented with putting rowdies there to control their unruly behavior. Dorm life can also mean a no-win battle against clutter and mess. Mary Beth Ra- dik, a senior bio-chem major, said, It ' s bad enough that three or four girls and all 28 their worldly possessions are crammed into one room. But even when we tried to keep things neat, one thing out of place — one unmade bed or one or two guests — made it totally impossible. On the positive side, dorm life means no utility bills (a real budget-buster), no monthly rent checks, no grocery shopping (except for goodies), no sink, toilet (how gross) or shower scrubbing, no trips to the laundromat and never having to be alone. In addition, most agree that at least one year in the dorms has real merits: making new friends, sharing a common, some- times frightening experience, and some semblance of regulation. When you ' re new to college life, it ' s best to meet as many people as possible, make a lot of friends, and get involved, Radik said. It ' s easy in the dorms be- cause you ' re all in the same situation. Some of my best friends in off-campus life I met while living in Fletcher. Frustration and anxiety run high and it ' s nice to know you ' re surrounded by people who understand, Lang added. Vaughn also felt dorm life was a positive influence for freshmen. It ' s a good idea to have students live in the dorms for their first year, he said. The structured rou- tine might just save them from dropping out. Vaughn said the dorms were more struc- turally sound, built particularly for the race of destructive students. Living in a dorm, you will rarely encoun- ter leaky ceilings, weeds growing through your living room floor or pestering land- Mark Rogers 29 lords. These novelties are commonplace in many homes and apartments. Dorms were built to withstand misuse — apart- ments weren ' t, he said. Although the required purchase of food coupons assures that students will have a semester full of nourishment, for some students Food Service entrees leave a lot to be desired. According to Vaughn, it is possible to get out of buying the food plan if you have a doctor ' s written word — in blood, prefer- ably his — that you ' ll die if you continue to eat campus food. One student escaped the food plan on the basis of salt content. One alternative to cafeteria eating is using coupons in the Deli at Eastway Center. And upperclassmen who remain on cam- pus can forego the coupon system alto- gether. I like food prepared by someone who cares: me, Debbie Lesseur, a senior edu- cation major said. If food is a primary com- plaint for dorm dwellers, it ' s an asset for house and apartment residents. The has- sles of shopping, preparation and cleanup don ' t seem to detract from the joy of being able to eat with freedom. Responsibility is the greatest thing about off-campus living according to Ra- dik. Rather than dreading it, she welcomed the opportunity to be responsible for all On-campus communication is increased with the aid of convenient campus telephones. Four digit numbers make dialing a snap! Peter Phun 30 Finding a comfortable place to study is a top priority, whether it be on a front porch sofa or the nearest tennis court. Tim Barmann Wendy Alexander 31 my own actions: cooking, cleaning, study- ing and partying. But not everything about off-campus liv- ing is quite so enjoyable, for instance, trips to remote garbage areas, fighting with un- cooperative toilet floats and toting bun- dles of laundry. Vaughn has developed an intense dis- like for the trash detail. Dumpsters are usually located in the most inhospitable area of apartment properties, and make for inconvenient, if not spine-tingling strolls in your robe and slippers on dark, drizzly nights, he said. While the female dwellers said cleaning was no problem because things still look good even with a little clutter, Vaughn misses the services of the University Housekeeping battalion. Now I have to scrub the shower and sink, replace light- bulbs, sweep dust under the rug, and fix the toilet every time the float jams open, he said. Both dorms and off-campus housing have their good and bad points. Dorms can provide limited responsibility and the best opportunity for making friends, but they can also offer the worst in overcrowding, restrictions, and food. Off-campus hous- ing, however, means more freedom and re- sponsibility, but also includes barren bud- geting and slumlords. The choice is yours. Barb Karol Wendy Alexander Off-campus living can have its hazards — dishpan hands, for example, but, a barbecued steak and a nice hammock make the pain worthwhile. 32 Mark Rogers Robin Coller 33 Mark Rogers The Greek system at Kent State, comprised of 13 fraternities and eight sororities, experienced much suc- cess during the 1 984-85 year. Improvements occurred in every area of Greek life, especially in the social aspect. Besides an apparent increase in the number of soror- ity functions, fraternities opened their doors more often than in past years in order to host all-campus parties. Heading downtow n remained a popular pastime with Greeks, this year penetrating the doors of McNasty ' s and making it the Greek hangout. Thursday nights at Filthy ' s became a ritual. Fraternities and sororities, wearing their colors, could be found in full force, show- ing the students of KSU how to have a good time. The Inter-Greek Programming Board sponsored a Slash Party for incoming freshmen, and a welcome dance for the campus during Orientation Week. Several Monday Night Football get-togethers were held in the Rathskeller, and all-campus Trivial Pursuit game took place in November. Fall rush proved successful for both fraternities and sororities. The five sororities in the Panhellenic Council accepted over seventy pledges, while the IFC fraterni- ties picked up nearly sixty pledges. The fall rush had more people go through the houses than ever before. Some chapters even doubled in size. Besides the large rush, another sign of growth was cited. Three national fraternities expressed their inter- est in colonizing at Kent State by the end of the fall semester, an encouraging sign to a small Greek system . Philanthropy projects thrived during the year. The Greeks worked their way to giving nearly $10,000 to charitable organizations. A bed push project allowed the IFC to present $1500 to the Ronald McDonald House in Cleveland. Greek Week 1984 was held in April. The schedule of events included a songfest, swim meet, the Greek god- dess contest, and Greek games. Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity and Delta Gamma sorority emerged as victors at the end of the activity-filled week. Greek Life Above, Cheryl White of Alpha Phi exhibits some teamwork. Right, Paula Pocher and Pennie Burge join in the Songfest. Jim Fossett 34 Jim Fossett Jim Fossett 35 Todd Acker Anew chapter of Greek Life was created this fall at KSU. All Greeks Together was formed in the fall under the direc- tion of Erica Levine. The unique group ' s membership is made up of Greeks who trans- ferred to Kent from another school to find that their fraternity or sorority was not represented, or who were members of a Greek organization that left Kent State. Although All Greeks Together is not permitted to be a member of the Inter fraternity Council or the Panhellenic Council, the group has been ac- cepted as a member chapter of the Inter-Greek Programming Board, so they can vote on issues and will participate in Greek Week activities in the spring of each year. The group is not al- lowed to rush for membership, since they can only acquire people who are already part of the Greek system. Fall, 1 984 was a busy time for the members of the Inter fraternity Council, it has been reorga- nizing and rebuilding this semester, and as a result the constitution, bylaws and Judicial Board Constitution have all been totally revised. The Pledge Council of the IPC has been re- vamped, and is expected to be completely set up by the end of the spring semester. The IPC sponsored an awards ceremony in the fall to honor those who demonstrated high academic achievement in the past spring term. Certificates were given for appearing on the dean ' s list, and certain chapters were recog- nized for their efforts as a whole. «%(rv Mark Rogers 36 Theta Chi won top honors for obtaining the highest GPA as a chapter, and also tool the award for having the pledge class with the high- est GPA. Sigma Alpha Epsilon had the most improved grade point average. Greek Life is an important part of Kent State for many people. Fraternities and sororities are a way of meeting new people and getting in- volved in the University, and Greeks share friendships that will last throughout their lives. Kevin Wyndham Fundraising, recreation and rituals are all part of Greek life at KSU. Fraternities and sororities constantly worl togeth- er to make the Greek system successful.

The amount of renovation on campus, both planned and in progress, is considerable, and promises to vastly improve KSU ' s reputation throughout the nation. Perhaps the mo st dramatic addition to the campus is the creation of the School of Fashion Design and the Kent State Museum. In order to house the school, Rockwell Hall has been completely redesigned. The $3.8 million project began in January 1984, and is expected to be completed by spring. Two valuable collections from the Metropolitan Museum of Art were donated to the school by fashion moguls Shannon Rodgers and the late Jerry Silverman: La Belle Epoque and the Manchu Dragon Robe collection. The Manchu Dragon exhibit consists of various antique furniture, rugs and cloth- ing, and also includes twenty robes valued at $20,000 each. Stella Blum, formerly employed by the Metropolitan Muse- um of Art, was hired as the director of the Kent State Muse- um. The school and museum are designed to include addi- tional exhibition space and a 150-seat auditorium for lec- tures. The school is also being planned as a future site for area style shows. The development of the School of Fashion Design is a landmark addition to the Kent State campus, and will provide an entirely new facet to its already extensive academic op- portunities. Another major development on campus is the complete renovation of the University School. The extent of this re- modeling will depend on the amount of funds allocated by the state for this purpose. However, the administration is opti- mistic, and an entire refurbishing program has been de- signed, scheduled to begin this summer and be completed by 1986. The goal of the University School project is to create a total student service center. The school will house all offices that pertain to student registration, such as Financial Aids, Bur- sar, Parking and Traffic, Orientation, and Disabled Student Services. This consolidation will be beneficial in many ways. First, it will provide the necessary space in Rockwell Hall for the School of Fashion Design. Additionally, by keeping the offices in one building, it will not only increase administrative efficiency but also aid students in the previously time-con- suming registration process. The University Library is yet another target for re-design- ing. During the summer of 1983 many of the administrative Construction offices were moved there from Rockwell Hall. Beginning in January of 1984, the computer center at Rockwell was also transferred to the library. This move was implimented in order to put ail the computers in the heart of the campus, joining them with the CAI Self-lnstructin computers already located there. A $4 million science lab is being constructed near the nurs- ing building. The lab, to be finished in spring of 1986, will be used by the Liquid Crystal Institute and the biology, chemistry and physics departments. In addition to the restoration of the campus buildings them- selves, the University ' s power sources and automation sys- tem are also being updated. In order to conserve energy and therefore save the students money, the heating plant is now upgrading its boilers, installing new lighting, and developing a new coal and ash handling process. The administration ' s goal is to be flexible in choosing its fuel source. This adapt- ability will keep the university from being continually forced to buy one particular fuel, saving hundreds of dollars. Numerous other renovation projects have sprung up around campus. Mcgilvrey Hall is being completely remod- eled, and Taylor Hall, with emphasis on the Daily Kent Stater office, was furnished with new mechanical equipment and lighting. The Wills Gym building was converted in the fall to house the ROTC program, previously located in Rockwell Hall. Renovation of the Memorial Gym is also in progress, including bold, modern graphics and a new gymnasium floor. An all-weather running track, installed behind the Health Center, will be ready for use by athletic teams, faculty and students sometime in the spring. A cross-campus jogging path, complete with fitness stations, is also in progress. Kent State ' s campus is constantly changing, and the ex- tensive amount of construction projects lends an air of mod- ernization and progress to the University.

A lot can happen in 75 years. Three-quarters of a century is a long time — for some people, it ' s more than a lifetime. For Kent State, though, 75 years seems to have been just a start. The Univer- sity is celebrating its 75th anniver- sary with an enrollment of 20,000, its highest in eight years, and with its first construction in 14 years, adding to the 66 existing buildings. Obviously change has been quick and constant since the Kent Normal School was created by the Ohio Legislature in 1910. Classes, which led to a two-year degree for elementary teachers, did not begin until May, 1913. During the 1913- 14 academic year, 21 instructors taught a total of 144 students, many of whom were already teachers seeking formal accredi- tation. Although room and board cost four dollars per week, tuition was free, due to the wishes of the school ' s first president, John McGilvrey. Altogether the first 12- week session cost a student less than $60, including room and board, laundry and books. Four buildings: Merrill, Lowry, Kent and the Administration Build- ing, constituted the entire campus. Lowry, originally named Walden Hall by its residents, served as a women ' s residence hall until 1968. Stopher, the first men ' s hall, wasn ' t built until 1948. By 1926, five more buildings had been con- structed: Moulton and Franklin halls, the power plant, Wills Gym- nasium and Rockwell Hall. Moul- ton was another women ' s dorm, and Rockwell served as the library. 45 Except for the years during World War I, Kent ' s enrollment grew each year, although the women on campus consistently outnumbered the men. During the first year, there weren ' t even enough men on campus to field a foot- ball team. Athletics were one of the first major hurdles faced by Kent Normal School. January 1915 witnessed Kent ' s first in- tercollegiate basketball game against Otterbein. The Kent Silver Foxes, named for President McGilvrey ' s fox farm, lost that first contest with a de- pressing score of 56-5. When a football team was finally formed in 1920, Kent ' s team fared even worse. Three winless and scoreless seasons passed before Kent scored a touchdown in a 1923 game. A victory was finally chalked up in November 1 925, at Kent ' s 7-6 defeat of West Liber- ty (West Va.) College. Despite Kent ' s dismal athletic record, school spirits continually ran high. Cam- pus Day, an open house-like affair be- gun by President McGilvrey, was a fes- tive highlight of the year. Because of the school ' s small size, most all of the stu- dents were familiar with each other, with the faculty members and even with President McGilvrey. Literary, outdoor and social clubs abounded on campus and the first fraternity. Kappa Mu Kappa, was founded in 1922. By 1925, If --Kl k another fraternity and seven sororities were established. Despite McGilvrey ' s initial resistance, the Greeks became a major force on campus which was to be encouraged throughout the succeeding years. Just as social activities grew on cam- pus, Kent ' s academic life also grew in size and responsibility. In 1915 the Board of Trustees voted to change the school ' s name to Kent State Normal College, a change which the Ohio Legis- lature formalized in 1928 when the as- sembly changed the name to Kent State College. The board effected another im- portant change in 1926 when they picked David Anderson to replace McGilvrey as president. This change in name and leadership signalled an even greater change in di- rection. From its very beginning, Kent has served as a training school for teachers. Out of the 30 credits originally offered, only nine did not deal directly with education. During his two-year term as president, Anderson expanded the curriculum to include more profes- sional and advanced courses, and he also strengthened the faculty by hiring better qualified instructors. In 1929 the first liberal arts class. Elementary Latin, was offered. Other liberal arts classes, including philosophy and psychology.

For Summer School Bulletin, Address President J. E McGilvrey Kent, Ohio FALL TERM OPENS TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25. 1917 Student Cottagn bI the Laket were gradually added. Before these classes were offered, however, James Engleman became Kent ' s third president. His term, which lasted from 1928 to 1938, witnessed an even greater expansion of curriculum. The College of Liberal Arts added such departments as journalism, economics and political science, and in 1936 the College of Business Administration was created. As a testimony to this expan- sion, the Ohio Legislature changed Kent ' s name to Kent State University in 1935. Despite the Depression, enrollment grew during President Engleman ' s ad- ministration. In 1929 Kent students numbered 832, the largest enrollment ever. By the fall of 1937, this number had more than doubled. Lack of jobs caused many high school graduates to go on to college. With the lowest fees in the state, Kent was a natural choice. 46 An early advertise- ment for the Kent Nor- mal School stressed the free tuition that the school offered teach- ers in the early years of the institution. Be- cause of the United States involvement in the first World War, male enrollment be- came virtually nonex- istent. 47 Engleman ' s term also witnessed the first mass demonstration at Kent State, in protest against a national war prepared- ness program, 1200 students marched across campus waving banners reading No more war! By the time Karl Leebrick became presi- dent in 1938, 128 professors in 23 depart- ments were teaching at Kent. President Leebrick brought a great many changes to Ke nt State, including the official division of the 23 departments into their specific col- leges. Until this time several of the courses and departments had been the joint re- sponsibility of two of the colleges, which often led to confusion. Leebrick further cut academic confusion by permanently rel- egating the College of Education to a less dominant role, finally allowing the colleges of liberal arts and business administration to gain equal status. Once and for all, Kent State broke away from its normal school roots to become a well-rounded, complete university. Although the Depression had stopped all of Engleman ' s construction programs. President Leebrick pushed through sever- al new projects, using New Deal funds for some of them. Engleman Hall, the third women ' s dorm, was finished in 1938 as was McGilvrey Hall. Further construction was halted by World War II. KENT STATE UNIVER5ITY FIFTY YEAR. PLAN IM| Xt-Hieilwvu 48 James McGilvrey, first president of the Uni- versity, was laughed at when he presented his fifty year plan for the Kent State University. By 1960, McGilvrey ' s plan had come to pass. The plan, left, turned out to be a con- servative estimate of Kent State ' s growth in the next five decades. Above, The William A. Cluff teacher training building, opened in 1927, was renamed Franklin hall by McGilvrey after a dis- agreement between the University presi- dent and Cluff. Al- though the building was renamed, duff ' s named is still en- graved over the en- trance to the hall. 49 II tm M m iM L 1 i «?.

Far Right, Kent ' s first basketball team. V 50 War, of course, brought great changes to the university. By Spring, 1944 enrollment fell from a 1940 high of 2707 to a mere 696 students. A full 30 per cent of the faculty left to help with the war effort, either by joining the military or entering war-related industries. Helping to compensate for the loss of civilian students, 500 aircrewmen from the 336th College Training De- tachment arrived on campus in 1943. The Kent State airport was pur- chased to aid in their training. The men att ended classes on campus and lived in Lowry Hall, even though they weren ' t formally registered with the University. Another addition was made to the University in 1944 when George Bowman was selected to become president. In contrast to the war years. Bowman ' s administration wit- nessed an incredible jump in enroll- ment. Through the Gl Bill thousands of World War II veterans were able to return to college after the war ended. By the spring of 1946, Kent ' s enroll- ment had risen to over 2000 stu- dents, about 1 000 of whom were vet- erans. In the fall of 1949, 2500 veter- ans boosted Kent ' s number to over 6000 students. The veterans that year alone outnumbered the entire 1940 student body. 51 i - 52 To cope with this amazing increase ten pre-fabricated buildings were ac- quired from federal agencies in 1946. Five of these were set up as dorms on the present site of Terrace Hall. The other five were erected behind the power plant. Two of these plus one purchased in 1948 served as classrooms. Two others were used as a warehouse and a men ' s cafete- ria while the last one served first as the temporary student union or Hub and later became the military science building. Although these buildings were only meant as tempo- rary measures, at least one remained in use until 1970. Construction of permanent build- ings resumed in 1947. By 1951 six buildings had been erected: a health center, which now serves as the cam- pus police office; the Kent Student Union, now Oscar Ritchie Hall; Stopher Hall, the first men ' s dormi- tory; Van Deusen Hall; Memorial Gymnasium and a football stadium, located on the site of the present Stu- dent Center oarkina lot. S3 54 Above, Homecoming, 1934. Following a na- tional craze, Kent State began to accept football in the 1920 ' s. Kent ' s first football team, the Silver Foxes, formed in 1920, but never scored a touch- down until 1923. The team won their first game in November of 1925, snapping the school ' s first, and longest, losing streak. I !•■ l; -. ' l. 1 I Mm. r.r, l;iil(,li U.. .-!-.. Juhii W.-Im-i. Il:iiiy J.ir.,l. .

Built in 1956, the University School was considered an important addi- tion to the University because of its use as a nnodern training lab for edu- cation majors. The remaining five buildings were dorms: Dunbar, John- son, Prentice, Terrace and Verder. Not only did the tremendous in- crease in enrollment spark the new construction program, but the de- mands of a larger and more varied student body created a need for a more extensive selection of classes. By 1959 six new departments had been developed and an entirely new college. Fine and Professional Arts, had been established. Seven schools from the College of Arts and Sci- ences were incorporated into the new college. In recognition of this vast increase in academic volume and value, the State Assembly voted in 1959 to al- low Kent State to confer the doctor- ate and any other degree seen as fit- ting and necessary. Kent State had finally achieved full university rank, in its own eyes and in the eyes of the government. 55 56 The construction which began after World War II continued at an even great- er pace through the 1960s. Between 1960 and 1969, 33 buildings were con- structed on campus. Twenty-three of these were dorms, including Eastway Complex, Lake, Olson and Korb halls, and Small Group. Allerton Apartments were also built at this time. With the exception of the University Supply Center, all of the other buildings were academically oriented. Along with Taylor and Nixson halls, Music and Speech, the first building constructed in 1960, gave the infant Fine and Profes- sional Arts College a real, physical pres- ence. The other buildings inlcuded Bow- man, Satterfield and White halls. Although 33 buildings in ten years seems to be an incredible figure, stu- dent enrollment swelled to more than fill the buildings. In 1959, over 7500 stu- dents attended classes on campus. Within five years enrollment nearly dou- bled. Classroom space was in such de- mand that temporary classrooms were set up in dorms until White Hall and oth- er buildings were completed. After World War II, Kent State saw one of the quickest growth periods in its history. Male students, like the ones pictured above, were often unable to find living space on or near campus. Right, the Memorial Gym is transformed into an Army barracks. Prentice hall, along with Dunbar, were built in 1 959 to keep up with the Increasing post- war enrollment. Both halls were named after early female faculty members. 57 58 With the coming of the 1 960 ' s, Kent saw some of the swiftest changes in its history, as did the rest of the nation. Dissent turned to tragedy on the KSU campus on May 4, 1970, writing one of the darkest chapters in the Kent State histo- ry books. Right, the construction of Tri Towers in 1967. Built in 1966, White Hall was not formally named until after the 1971 retire- ment of the University ' s seventh president, Robert White. A major force be- hind the construction pro- gram. White replaced Bowman in 1963. During his administration 30 buildings were either com- pleted or begun. These in- cluded Dix Stadium, the Ice Arena and the highly acclaimed Student Center and University Library complex. Despite the emphasis on physical facilities, aca- demics were not ignored. The first three doctorates were granted in 1964, and in 1965 the Honors Pro- gram was upgraded to the Honors College. 1965 also marked the birth of the Liquid Crystal Institute, now a nationally recog- nized research center. A year later, the School of Nursing was created. These advances helped to establish Kent State as a mature center of learning. During this period social changes were also leaving their mark nationwide. Al- though it was never a hot- bed of radicalism, Kent State, like most other campuses across the na- tion, had its share of stu- dent demonstrations throughout the late 1960s. These demonstrations ended abruptly on May 4, 1970 when Ohio National Guardsmen wounded nine students and killed four others. The Guardsmen had been called to Kent State in response to a series of anti-war demonstrations during the first three days of May which had resulted in some damage to both public and private proper- ty. Although the cause of the shootings may never be completely under- stood, the incident has left an indelible mark on the University, both in the na- tion ' s attitude toward Kent State and in the many me- morials on campus. One immediate and visi- ble effect of the shootings was the resignation of President White in 1971 and his replacement by Glenn Olds. Olds, too, re- signed in a storm of con- troversy in 1977. Cen- sured by a 1976 Faculty Senate poll and highly criticized for his tough austerity program. Olds faced his greatest chal- lenge in 1977 during the protest over the Memorial Gym Annex. Demonstra- tors charged that the an- nex, which stands near the sight of the 1970 shootings, was an insult to the memory of the stu- dents killed and wounded on May 4. Despite these protests. Olds ordered the con- struction to begin and the Annex was completed in 1979. Other structures built during the Olds ad- ministration included the Art Building and the Busi- ness Administration Build- ing. A decline in enrollment during the 1 970s, generally regarded as another result of the May 4 shootings, may have been even greater had the Northeastern Ohio Universities Col- lege of Medicine not been created in 1973. A joint effort of the University of Akron, Youngstown State Univer- sity and Kent State, the College fea- tures a unique six-year program and drew many students to the University who otherwise would not have at- tended Kent. Brage Golding became the Univer- sity ' s ninth president in the midst of the enrollment decline. During Gold- ing ' s administration, however, enroll- ment began to rise again, the Nursing Building was constructed and the School of Fashion Design and Mer- chandising was created, although it did not open until 1983. A lot can happen in 75 years. Today, under the administration of President Michael Schwartz, Kent State is a thriving university with an excellent academic reputation. Its continually improving facilities and programs set it apart from other uni- versities, and make Kent State a dis- tinguished member of the academic community. ■ Beth Ann Falanga 60 61 Homecoming 62 The crowning of Eileen i lcNamara and O.J. Smith as Queen and King capped Kent State ' s 1984 Homecoming festivities. The ceremony was part of half-time activities during the Homecoming foot- ball game against Central Michigan. Other festivities included the Home- coming parade, led by Dick Goddard, TV-8 weatherman and 1984 KSU out- standing alumni, a cheerleader and marching band-sponsored bonfire and a Saturday evening Sock Hop. Although few students participated in Homecoming events — a typical sign of the student body ' s general apathy — many alumni attended other events such as the brunches and dinners spon- sored by various academic depart- ments and the annual downtown Okto- berfest. KSU nearly pulled off what would Mark Rogers M. Brian Woikbh M. Brian Wolken have been the biggest upset of the 1 984 Mid-American Conference football sea- son as the Flashes held a late 10-7 lead against Central Michigan, the pre-sea- son favorites to win the MAC crown; although KSU had its three-point lead and had possession of the ball with just under four minutes left in the game, the Flashes ' offense could do nothing, and the Chippewas regained the football. Central Michigan mounted a good drive, going 62 yards on eight plays and capping it with a two-yard end zone plunge by tailback Curtis Adams, put- ting the Chippewas ahead 14-10. Mean- while, the drive ate up a good portion of the time remaining in the game leaving KSU with only 52 seconds to mount a counterattack. The Flashes could not score again, though, as senior quarterback Stu Ray- burn was intercepted and the Flashes lost their third consecutive Homecom- ing contest.

He got kind of forceful, Ran- sid told the Stater, adding that Adams knocked down the four-year old daugh- ter of protestor Sue Hess, a resident of Akron.

Main and S. Lincoln streets to complete the second an- nual Kent 500 on Sept. 30. They raced for a first place prize of $175 and a second place prize of $75; sponsoring this year ' s race were Kent Nautilus and Portage Dis- tributing of Ravenna. One bike of the same make was issued per team giving the race an exciting, equal- ized nature. The course was very demand- ing, calling for coordinated team member cyclist changes, individual endurance and responsive racing abilities. The 50-lap course could be split up a number of ways among the five team members, but each cyclist had to compete Photos by Jim Fossett 72 at least one lap. In the few minutes before the begin- ning of the race, while other teams loos- ened up and made strategies, Ron Schwartz, a KSU alumnus, was plan- ning to race as the sole person on his team , but hastily complied with the rules and found four willing bystanders to sign with him — Brad Sherin, Jeff Newhouse, Eric Saunder and Mark Ott. Schwartz then proceeded to lead his newly formed team to victory by con- quering 20 of the 50 laps himself. Even though the race wasn ' t that close, the second place team finished in the same lap and the third place team crossed the line one lap behind. Ott, like his teammates, had really come to watch and wasn ' t planning to race that day, but he said the experience was well worth it and the prize money would come in handy. Another rule change has already been made: in future competitions racers must wear helmets. This decision was made following the race, after a bicy- clist, without a helmet, swerved and braked to avoid a photographer and flew over the handlebars onto the street. An ambulance transported the injured man to Robinson Memorial Hos- pital in Ravenna; the lesson was learned that bicyle racing, like many other sports, has protective gear for a reason.

Jefferson, a vet- eran runner with the KSU track team, grabbed the bronze Aug. 8 with a time of 20.26 — a personal best and a KSU re- cord — in the 200 meter run. Besides Jefferson, the University boasts two other Olympians: Jud Logan, a 1981 graduate of KSU who qualified for the U.S. Olympic Team in the hammer throw, and Al Schoterman, KSU assis- tant track coach and an alternate, also in the hammer throw, for the 1984 U.S. Olympic Team. Jefferson was not listed among the favorites to win the race, as Carl Lewis and Kirk Baptiste were correctly picked to take the gold and silver medals, re- spectively. In the eyes of oddsmakers, Jefferson was a longshot. Going into the race my thoughts were on a United States sweep. It didn ' t matter which medal I got just as long as I was a part of the sweep, Jefferson said in an interview with KSU ' s Versus magazine. After a good start, Jefferson headed into the straightaway in second place, slightly ahead of Baptiste yet still be- hind Lewis. I kept looking as if I expect- ed someone to come up on me. Kirk fi- nally did come up on me and that re- laxed me more, and as I was running down the straightway, I figured I had third and I would try to catch Kirk again, Jefferson said. By the time I made my adjustment, my coordination was thrown off just enough and when I saw that I couldn ' t catch Kirk, I made sure I had third. Jefferson became the first KSU Olym- pic medal winner since Gerald Tinker won the gold in the 1972 Munich games as part of the 4 X 100 meter U.S. relay team. The first thing I thought about was the sweep — we got it, we finally got it, said Jefferson. The victory lap was really special. It gave us a chance to share with each other. We were all part of something that happened 28 years ago (the last U.S. medal sw eep in the 200 meters), which made it even more special. The Olympic magic reaches all the way to Kent State as Thomas Jefferson signs his autograph for a young fan. The United States decided the best way to demonstrate political disfavor with the Soviet Union in 1980 would be to boycott the Summer Olympic Games in Moscow. Likewise, this past summer the Soviets, along with most of their allies, staged a boycott of their own and pulled out of the 1 984 Summer Games in Los Angeles. Without the Russians and other socialist bloc nations the summer competi- tion was obviously diluted, although a record number of countries (140) and athletes (7,800) were featured in Los Angeles. Indeed, U.S. Olympic fans ap- peared to ignore the controversy of the Soviet pullout and instead chose to concentrate on the American runaway victory, with U.S. athletes earning 83 gold medals, 61 silver medals and 30 bronze medals. Jim Fossett 74 courtesy of the UPI Photo Library Logan qualified as a member of the U.S. Olympic Team at the Olympic Tri- als in Los Angeles June 19, 1984 with a distance of 237 feet, 9 inches in the hammer throw. It was a great experi- ence — the thrill of my life, Logan said of Olympic competition. I was disap- pointed because I ended up being eight inches short of making the finals, but that was minor compared to just com- peting. Schoterman, in addition to his 1984 Olympic alternate status, was a mem- ber of the 1 972 Olympic Track and Field Thomas JeHerson and two U.S. teammates reflect on their victory after the 200 meter run. team in Munich. Having coached Lo- gan and myself being close behind was the most rewarding thing that could have happened to me in the Games, Schoterman said. Schoterman compared the 1972 games to this past summer ' s competi- tion, noting that the Los Angeles Games were special to him because they were in the United States. Anything at home is much more exhilarating than some- thing in a strange place (Munich, West Germany), he said. Tony Trigilio Olympics 84 75 Lights! Cameras! Ac- tion! Another TV-2 pro- duction is on the air. The girl sits behind the huge console, talking into a live mike. Needles register in the dials around her. She ' s one of 70 students working for WKSR, the student-run radio station, and she ' s on the air. The station gives on-air experience to students interested in radio broadcast- ing. It is not an academic program, al- though telecommunication students can receive credit for their work. The s tation is patterned after com- mercial radio. There are sales and pub- lic relations departments and a promo- tions director. With 20 advertising ac- counts, up from last year ' s 10, the station is basically self-supporting. Campus Communications 76 The students learn from each oth- er, says Robert West, faculty adviser. It ' s peer group teaching. They watch and learn. Then they go on the air and do it. Nothing can replace that kind of real life experience. While some telecommunication stu- dents work at WKSR, others learn about live television at TV-2, the on- campus student TV station. The station broadcasts two hours of live program- ming Monday through Friday. The nightly news show is broadcast at 5:30 and 6:30, using a different cast for each show, to give more students TV experience. News classes write the scripts, a volunteer crew works the cameras, and five students make up each show ' s cast. The station also produces Reflec- tions, a popular magazine-style news show. It features interviews with cam- pus figures, movie reviews, and topics which concern students. There ' s also Family Tree, a show on black history. TV-2 gives students valuable hands- on experience, says Dr. Gene Stebbins, faculty adviser. It ' s one thing to prac- tice in a lab, and a whole different thing producing a live show. I ' ve watched net- work news for years, and never once have I heard them come on the air and say, ' Sorry, folks, we ' re not ready to do the news. ' It takes discipline to survive in the TV world. Our students learn each day what that means.

The atmo- sphere is electric, but somehow strange. There are no typewriters. Gone are the messy stacks of paper, pencils, and ink that characterized the old newsroom. Video display terminals glow with om- niscient power on the desks. Last fall the Daily Kent Stater left the old news- room behind and began using a system that hooks the VDTs to a computer that stores the news. Un- intimidated by the new technology, the Stater staff is part of the new breed of newspaper jour- nalists who write and edit stories on the terminals. They then store the re- sults in a computer file, instantly available at the touch of an electronic but- ton. Copy editors point out that the new system is only a tool, and they are not above playing a few practical jokes when train- ing new students. The un- initiated often find myste- rious rocket ships or elec- tronic spiders littering their copy on the screen. Practical jokes abound and help to relieve staff tension. The work is very de- manding, says Mark Price, copy desk chief. I spend 40 hours a week here, besides my other classes. But it ' s worth it — I ' m becoming an excellent copy editor. Each Tuesday through Friday 14,000 copies of the Stater are produced. Advertising sold by stu- dents accounts for three- fourths of the $300,000 annual budget. The re- maining one-fourth is col- lected from student fees.

We ' re one of the best college newspapers in the country, says faculty ad- viser Bruce Larrick. We ' re rated ' All Ameri- can ' by the Associated College Press. That puts us among the best. In pub- lishing the Stater, stu- dents are on the line. They ' re exposing their learning to the academic community every day. Sports Editor Tony Tri- gilio agrees. You take ev- erything you learn in the classroom and apply it here. Besides writing and learning the mechanics of newspaper journalism, you deal with people. You find out who needs con- stant prodding to get sto- ries in on time, and who ' s reliable. You develop di- plomacy in dealing with the public, too. Organiza- tions become angry when they don ' t get enough space, he says. Associate News Editor Joe Powell also wrestle s with lack of space in the paper. He hunches over his VDT screen, trying the impossible — fit two doz- en stories into the small space left on his page. Photo Editor Gregg Ell- man has a different sort of problem — how to photo- graph all the campus events which need cov- ered. It always happens, he says, the day you ' re swamped is the day you have to take a million pic- tures. Reporters get re- placements to cover sto- ries, but we can ' t get any- one else to shoot pictures. This job has helped me learn how to deal with people more than any- thing else at Kent, says Editor Tom Jennings. It ' s demanding and the pres- sure often overwhelms me. But when we get to the end of the week, there ' s a great feeling of accomplishment. Susan Jones 79 Photos by Jim Fossett It was a time to relax, learn, and enjoy. At the 17th Annual Folk Fest, artists from all over the country met at KSU to share their talent with others. Above, Les Powers picks a tune on his banjo. Folk Fest February 25 the Kent State Audito- rium was transformed into a cultural center as dozens of folk artists from around the country converged at KSU for the 17th Annual Folk Festival. The Festival consisted of a shov and several workshops ranging from crafts- men to musicians. The SVz-hour show, hosted by profes- sional emcee Al McKenney, performing music from all over the world. The show opened with Sally Rogers, a Connecti- cut musician who emphasized audience participation in her act while accompa- nying herself on the harp and guitar. Rogers sang songs such as Zip ' s Din- e r, a tune dedicated to the nation ' s un- 80 employed, and once during her act, di- vided the audience into four sections and led everyone in a Hungarian round. Another group, IVlary, Tali, and Paul Uasi, played Polynesian music as well as performing a memorable rendition of Please Release Me in both Polyne- sian and English. Daniel Womack, a 79-year old blind singer from Roanoke, Va. accompanied himself on the piano and guitar. His gos- pel jubilee style delighted the audience, and his performance w as highlighted by a quartet song in which he sang all four parts. The closing act of the evening was Alex Udvary, Ernie King, and the Conti- nental Strings. The spirited group played Romanian, Hungarian, and gyp- sy music with a violin and a cimbalom, a cross between a xylophone and a pi- ano. Laura Buterbaugh All types of instru- ments were played at the festival including some not usually as- sociated with folk mu- sic. 81 Photos by Jim Fossett Kent State ' s 17th An- nual Folk Festival fea- tured entertainment by dozens of folk art- ists from around the country.

With a sudden burst of energy, she springs across the floor combining speed and grace into a beautiful display of talent. Another Gymnastics in Motion has begun. Last spring marl ed the 22nd presentation of this program which highlights the many talents and accomplishments of Rudy and Janet Bachna ' s gymnastics team. More than any- thing else, Gymnastics in Motion exemplifies the pride in ex- cellence and team closeness which the Bachnas try to instill in the team. Each aspect of the show — the music, the lighting, the choreography — is carefully planned by team members and coordinated by their coaches. The result is an impressive exhibit of concentration and discipline, muscle and grace. Team members work well together, both during the show and during competition, because of the close-knit, caring at- mosphere in which they develop, Rudy explained. We have a close, family relationship, he said, not just a coach-team relationship. We (he and his wife, Janet) know Brian Mooar them as individuals. We ' re concerned with their well-being here and after they graduate. The Bachnas ' extensive coaching ex- perience also benefits the gymnastics team. Having managed and coached several Pan American and Olympic gymnastics teams, the Bachnas have been members of the U.S. Olympic Committee for both men ' s and women ' s gymnastics. They have also judged and officiated at competitions around the world. Aside from their efforts with the gym- nastics team, the Bachnas teach a Fri- day afternoon gymnastics program for children who also participate in the show. ■ Beth Ann Falanga Mark Rogers Gymnastics in IVIotion: Above, Junior Dawn Roberts does a hand- stand on the balance beam while At Right, Sophomore Jodi Pro- vost performs during the floor exercises.

Timothy Barmann 87 Photos by Jim Fossett May 4th, 1984 There are those who favor the student demonstrators, those who empathize with the National Guardsmen involved, and those who embrace the political machinery that autho- rized the use of force on the KSU campus in May, 1970. The tragedy of May 4 is an inescapable aspect of Kent State. May 4 generated worldwide publicity for the University, not just because of the liberal political climate of the United States during the Vietnam era, but because the incident pos- sessed a certain significance that has remained throughout the last fifteen years. The United States, a country that places much value in free speech and the right of dissent, silenced on May 4 the very element responsible for its unique moral standing among other nations of the world. The arguments continue on campus in 1985. Did the stu- dents go too far? Was the throwing of rocks at armed enforc- ers an act of radical stupidity? Or did the University adminis- tration overstep its authority? Was the imposition of martial law on campus May 3 an act of rash paranoia? Conservatism has swept America in the 1980s. It is no longer in to be a liberal, as it was in the 1960s and early 70s. Because of this recent attitude adjustment, a larger amount of students than ever before wish to either forget the incident entirely, or shift most of the blame from society to the students. The recent arguments concerned the lack of a permanent memorial to the slain and wounded students. No one can say there are no memorials at KSU, but many have argued that the University has no memorial that could withstand genera- tions. The Center for Peaceful Change, which offers courses on nonviolent methods of conflict resolution, can be seen as one of the most important memorials at the University because of its method of continuing education. However, the CPC is funded by the University, making it vulnerable to economic realities — budget cuts and the like — which could potentially cause its demise. But in January 1985, a 12-member committee appointed in March 1984 by KSU President Michael Schwartz approved the construction of a permanent physical memorial to May 4. The memorial is to be built on the wooded hill behind Taylor Hall, and its design is to be decided by a national competition. Although a memorial has been, after 1 5 years, finally decid- ed upon, the University still needs the awareness the May 4 Task Force provides. The M4TF was formed in 1975. It annu- ally commemorates the incident with a candlelight walk May 3, culminating in a vigil that lasts until noon May 4. At noon, speakers and entertainers offer a program on the commons to remember the incident. A permanent physical memorial has been established, and that itself marks a step in the right direction for the University. Perhaps KSU no longer is blaming dead and wounded un- armed students for what happened on May 4, 1970. Perhaps the University and the city of Kent is finally coming to terms with the tragedy. Tony Trigilio 89 K (%.,. ' T il amt smsmmmtfrn . ' m 5?! i; ' n M MmmmwsWui y dr. diana culbertson Dr. Diana Culbertson: professor of Eng- lish and Dominican nun BURR: Do you feel that your secular ca- reer conflicts with your religious vows? Culbertson: No, my whole view of reli- gion is that it must be immersed in the world. It may not be a part of the state, but it is never separate from society. BURR: How do you feel that your reli- gious training has affected your teach- ing? Culbertson: Well, I see theological impli- cations in literary texts. It ' s fairly com- mon to seek out philosophical implica- tions, but there ' s also a theological sub- structure — for example, the author ' s view on why we are limited. I try to get that across to students. BURR: Why do you teach? Culbertson: I ' m deeply involved in en- couraging students to study because it ' s one of the best things they can do with their humanity. To go through life ignorant is the worst deprivation. Kent has a good, scholarly atmosphere. I ' ve been able to teach in my specialty here, and fortunately have developed it with tremendous support from the English department. Jim Fossett 90 mike zagger Mike Zagger: senior, nursing BURR: How do you feel about being one of few males in a female-dominated field? Zagger: It ' s really not different from any other field. Since there are only six or eight men out of about 1 60 students, I ' m definitely part of a minority. But there isn ' t any hostility between the men and women. The only time the women get competitive is when one of the guys does better on a test or something. Then the girls will work even harder to do better. I ' ve heard from various sources that Viv Addicott men have a better chance of getting hired in the nursing field than women do, simply because we ' re the minority. But I don ' t think that ' s true. Most of the job contacts I ' ve made haven ' t shown favoritism or expressed any preference whatsoever about whether I ' m male or female. Qualifications are what ' s impor- tant, and that ' s the way it should be. BURR: Why did you choose KSU ' s nurs- ing program? Zagger: I checked out several schools in Northeastern Ohio, and Kent State had by far the best nursing school around. I heard, in fact, that KSU was ranked one of the top nursing schools in the nation, and that was more than enough to convince me to come here. BURR: Do you feel that Kent State of- fers the practical experience you ' ll need after you graduate? Zagger: Definitely. During their under- graduate studies, students are sent to work in many excellent area hospitals, such as Akron Children ' s Ho spital, which is adding a new burn unit to its existing facilities. In this way, we ' re con- stantly coming in contact with what ' s happening out in the real world. BURR: Medicine is a highly competitive field. What do you think your chances are of finding a job once you graduate? Zagger: Around here, for example in Akron and Ravenna, the job market doesn ' t look good. Hospitals are only hiring people for part-time positions, which usually only turn into full-time jobs if you ' re willing to stick around and wait for an opening. The Cleveland area, though, is continually looking bet- ter. Facilities are being added, nuclear medicine is emerging, and because of this jobs are beginning to open up. Also, all branches of the military are in- terested in recruiting nurses. I ' m con- sidering entering the service, but if I don ' t, Cleveland will be the first place I ' ll look. With its reputation, it ' s a great place to start a career. BURR: What are some of the advan- tages of KSU? Zagger: I think the Intramurals program is great. I ' ve had a lot of fun being in- volved in that. I also think Kent ' s loca- tion is a big plus. Basically, it ' s an hour away from everything. I like to visit dif- ferent towns to see what they ' re like, and here I ' m close to Youngstown, Ak- ron, Cleveland ... It gives me all kinds of opportunities. 91 rabbi gerald turk Rabbi Gerald Turk: Director, Hillel Jew- isli Services Center BURR: What does your job at Hillel in- volve? Turk: It involves pretty much what I make of it. Theoretically I ' m here for reli- gious purposes, but my job deals with a little bit of everything. I can ' t hit kids with the hard religious stuff because they won ' t listen. So, I try to reach them in areas that are important to them. For instance, with the problems the Soviet Jews are having. I want to try to make the kids realize that it could have been them. It ' s just chance that we ' re here in America instead. I also believe in doing social things. I plan coffeehouses, picnics, movies . . . anything to make students aware of what ' s going on around them. BURR: How would you describe stu- dent involvement in Hillel? Turk: It ' s large, but lower than it ' s been in a long time. The problem is that we ' re dealing with the me generation. You have to really cater to the kids to get them to come. Out of about 800 Jewish kids on campus, about 200 are involved in Hillel. BURR: What do you feel you have brought to the program since you ' ve come to KSU? Turk: I can talk to kids. What ' s more, I like to talk to kids. I think this has helped to increase student involvement. I also established a number of courses in the Experimental College that provided the base for the continual- ly growing Judaic Studies program. Mark Rogers 92 Dr. Edward Crosby: Director, Pan Afri- can Studies Department BURR: What is your role in the depart- ment? Crosby: I have and always will, primar- ily, addressed myself to students. Around the Pan African Studies depart- ment we are basically a student-based operation — a student equality-based operation, which tends to make me an anathema in that context. If there ' s any- one out here that is on the side of black students, it ' s me, number one, and this department number two. I have never had problems addressing myself to stu- dents. BURR: How do you view your responsi- bility as a teacher? Crosby: In the days when I first started teaching here at Kent State, there was an attempt to coot the students out, and to pacify them. Then I was constantly trying to tell students, Don ' t get paci- fied. Once something goes onto paper, that does not make it real. Something is only real when you see it in force. Don ' t go to sleep when somebody writes you a letter and says hey, everything is fine. No. Everything is not fine. It isn ' t fine until I look at it, critique it and analyze it. It isn ' t until that happens that I can say it is fine. BURR: Do you feel there is much change going on in your department? Crosby: Nothing will ever go exactly the way I want it to with this department. One way to critique an organization is to take a look at where it was when it start- ed, then take a look at where it is when you become aware of it. If any one ele- ment of that organization remains stat- ic, then you are dealing with a dead or- ganization. I, to some degree and to my faculty ' s disdain, am constantly forcing in newness. They have to try some- times to keep up with me. My initials are E.W.C., and one of my faculty members interpreted these letters as the Eternal dr. edward Crosby Work Creator. That ' s O.K. because sometimes that ' s what I feel I have to be about. In order to keep dynamism in a system, you have to confront the sys- tem with newness. 93 Chris birt Christine Birt: junior, musical theater BURR: With all the talk of unemploy- ment in your field, why do you want to be an actress? Birt: There ' s just something in me that makes me want to perform. I suppose I could be a business person, but I don ' t feel that ' s my calling; I just feel at home on the stage. I could probably make my- self feel at home anywhere I decided to put myself, but I don ' t want to do that. I don ' t want to work a job that ' s strictly 9- to-5, I want something that ' s going to challenge my brain. BURR: Is it a job that changes a lot? Birt: It changes constantly, and that ' s one of the things I like about acting. You have to be very intelligent about what you ' re doing when you are on stage. There are some dummies in theater, but these days, you can ' t be. The peo- ple who are putting on the big shows don ' t want to take any risks, so you al- most have to be very well-rounded. BURR: When you are on stage, do you hide behind your characters? Birt: No, I ' m not that kind of person. I ' m pretty much myself, and sometimes that gets me into trouble. I just think people have to open up themselves when they ' re making a character, and that ' s something I try hard to do. BURR: Then how much of your stage character is taken from personal experi- Peter Phun, Brian Mooar (opposite) ence? Birt: That depends on the part I am playing. What I do when I make up a character is try to think of a person that would act the way I ' m supposed to act. Sometimes I even base my character on an animal — a lot of actors do that. They go into their roles with a little se- cret that will help them carry out their role. You really have to think out your roles, because if you don ' t, your acting becomes very thin and it really shows that you haven ' t done your homework. And that ' s where the challenge is; mak- ing a role work is what it ' s all about. 94 Jim Shimko: Fall Editor, the Daily Kent Stater BURR: Has everything gone the way you expected it to in your semester as editor? Shimko: Hell no! It ' s been a lot harder than I ever thought it was going to be. It ' s been hard, not so much in the work itself, but in learning how to lead people . . . learning how to be the boss, yet still stay friends with people. Hopefully, I ' ve been able to do that. BURR: Have you been able to maintain your grades? Shimko: (Moans) That ' s been hard. Sometimes I feel like I come here every day to put out a paper, not to be a stu- dent, and there are times when I have to push myself to remember that that ' s not the case. There ' s a lot of responsibility, and sometimes you really feel the heat, not so much from other people, but from yourself. If it weren ' t for my friends and my staff, I probably would have lost my , ' ) m- sanity a long time ago. It ' s really going to be hard to leave the Stater — I ' ve been through a lot here. BURR: If you had your job to do over again, what would you have done differ- ently? Shimko: I would probably have taken more time to plan the Stater right from the beginning. That includes how I wanted the Stater to look. I would also have taken more time to integrate my- self into the overall plan of the Stater. Daily Kent Stater Mondata go St H in RoundZ Daily KsntSt t ' ' jim shimko I can ' t lie, I knew what I was getting myself into as Sfafer editor from my ex- perience on staff. It ' s really hard, though, to know what ' s going on behind that desk until you ' re really sitting be- hind it. A lot of times I feel detached from the everyday news beat. If I don ' t let my staff do their job, then that ' s a reflection on me. I ' m there to help ad- vise and set the tone, but when it comes right down to it, they all have to do their jobs. I can ' t do it for them. BURR: So you view your job as an ad- ministrative role, rather than an active role. Shimko: I guess you could call it that. I have to be the boss, but these people really know their jobs. Just by being there as a backup, I can set the tone of what is going on. An editor could easily be out of the office all day, meeting with people and talking to groups, but by be- ing there, I ' m saying, Hey, I care. BURR: On paper, there are a lot of fringe benefits associated with the posi- tion of Sfafer editor. Shimko: Of course, it ' s good resume material, but for me, that ' s not the most important thing. To me, the biggest benefit is the people I work with. As a matter of fact, I see them more than I see my own family. Right now, they are my family. 95 Timothy Barmann Dr. C. Owen Lovejoy: professor, anthropology BURR: What brought you here to Kent State? Lovejoy: My mentor, Olaf Prufer (chairman of the department of sociology and anthropology) came here and I came with him. I was hired as a temporary in- structor fourteen years ago, and I ' m still here. BURR: Of what accomplish- ments are you most proud? Lovejoy: My paper on human origins, and the students I ' ve produced and am producing now. BURR: What do you like best about KSU? Lovejoy: It ' s a pleasant place to live. Kent ' s a low-pressure, rea- sonably major midwestern uni- versity. We have superb stu- dents. I ' d take one of our stu- dents over a Berkeley student any day. They (Kent students) are more open-minded. BURR: If you hadn ' t been an an- thropologist, what would you have been? Lovejoy: An immunologist. If not that, then an automobile en- gineer. They all deal with how things fit together and how they operate. BURR: What do you do in your spare time? Lovejoy: I do quite a bit of work on my car (a gray Alfa Romeo). I ' m down at the garage so much they gave me my own jacket with my name on it. I ' m also on retainer for the Cuyahoga County coroner ' s office. I work on the identification of decom- posed bodies and footprint and shoeprint identification. dr. owen lovejoy 96 atf A rr,v i ' . ? r-i f BfST! Km ' 9 ' ' n John wallin [ Jortn Wallin: Head coach, KSU hockey team BURR: What do you think of the student body in your first year at KSU? Wallin: I thinl we ' ve got tremendous di- versification. I ' ve seen all kinds of stu- dents here. Our job as faculty and staff is to create the environment for stu- dents to be totally dedicated to the Uni- versity. And I know, without a doubt, that the University is totally dedicated to the student body. BURR: What do you enjoy the most about coaching college hockey? Wallin: I love the challenge of helping a student athlete grow and develop into a man who can make a positive contribu- tion to society. That ' s the first thing that I like. The second challenge is being prepared to defeat any enemies that come in here and try to take away the pride of Kent State. BURR: Is this year ' s KSU hockey team different from any other team you have coached in your career? Wallin: Sure. The thing that I see here is that these guys have had a great base of support from coach Don Lumley (Flashes ' head coach from 1982-84) over the last couple of years. I can see the training that he has put into the pro- gram, especially his individual work with the players. BURR: Do you have some sort of coaching philosophy? Wallin: Here is my hockey coaching phi- losophy that we followed this year: de- feating the tragic hero with hockey. The tragic triad of human existence is guilt from our past, pain in the present, and death in our future. But where can this encounter be solved? Where can pain be found on demand? Where can we meet guilt head-on and cleanse our- selves? Where can we experience death, and then return? The best an- swer is in hockey. Hockey is a theater where a sinner can turn saint and a common man become an uncommon hero. Hockey is singularly able to give us peak experiences where we feel completely at one with the world and transcend all conflicts as we finally fulfill our own potential. Life is just the place where we spend time between classes and games. m 97 An Ordinary Day Wednesday Oct. 1 0th At 4 a.m., the Kent State campus was covered with a thick blanl et of fog. No cars, no pedestrians anywhere. Just quiet. An hour later, things began to stir — light by light, the campus began to come alive. It was Wednesday, October 10, 1984 — an ordinary day at KSU. Assembled on these pages is an in- side look at an ordinary day at Kent State as seen through the eyes of 43 student photographers. The project produced nearly 9,000 photographic im- ages from nearly 200 rolls of film within a 24-hour period. From early morning until late evening, Burr photographers roamed the cam- pus in search of typical scenes, both ih the classroom and outdoors. Here is what they found.

Brian Mooar, Jim Fossett opposite 113 Religion Mark Rogers Although religion has always been important at Kent State, this year saw a surge of religious activity. Ellen Midlam, a junior music education major, has participated in United Christian Ministries, also known as Campus Ministries for three years. UCM is a student organization sponsored by seven area churches and is open to all denominations. 114 Peter Phun Campus Ministries has given me somewiiere to go, IVIidlam said. I found tiiere a special spiritual growth. It helped me find where I am — they helped me find ' me ' . Midlam said she was lonely when she first moved into her dormitory until she joined other dorm students in prayer sessions and Bible studies. There I found friends who understand how I felt, she said. Midlam said UCM has helped her begin her own ministry, Sermon in Song, with which she tours Ohio. Cassie Rogers, a junior international relations major, is a member of the UCM mime troupe and also tours the state. Rogers said she is not very religious — she joined UCXM just to mime. UCM Mime does more social statements, more messages, Rogers said. The skits are more controversial than a theater mime troupe, and I like that. I like to shake people up a little. 115 Lisa McNeil, a sophomore nursing major, is a member of the Campus Crusade for Christ. Campus Crusade is a great group, McNeil said. But the thing that makes the difference is not the group but Jesus Christ, and your personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ really gives purpose to my life. McNeil said she participates in Campus Crusade for fellow- ship and discipleship. There I can spend time with people who live life day-to- day with Jesus Christ, not just Sunday, she said. She added that Campus Crusades also trains students to be evangelists. They teach us how to talk to friends about Jesus Christ without banging them over the head with it. But Christians are not the only religious students on cam- pus. Robin Jacobs, a sophomore, wants to be a rabbi. She said the programs at Hillel, an organization for KSU ' s Jewish students, helped her make her decision. There are not many organizations on campus to bring Jewish students together, she said. Hillel services . . . have played a large role in my life. Jacobs said Hillel offers different programs throughout the year in addition to regular weekly services. Although Jacobs said she does not have much interest in the programs of other religions, she has noticed an increase in Christian programming. I think everyone has a right to believe what they want to believe. R.

Tom Eisvtrorth from the Newrman Center holds an infor- mal service in the Student Center plaza. 117 Downtown For many, it ' s what they do every weekend. It ' s the elusive dream of 18-year-olds who have no ID, and the routine of hardened veterans who have been through the weekend wars. It ' s going downtown — visiting the strip of bars that lie on Franklin Avenue and the immediate area. They rest conveniently in a row, and they avidly compete for student attention with bands and drink specials. But bars and clubs compete in more than the obvious ways, such as the atmosphere they establish and the clien- tele they attract. For all of the obvious inducements places offer, some frequent the same places weekend after week- end, while others continue to make the circuit in their search for the perfect bar . Why? What is that mysterious something that the down- town area lacks? Does Kent need a new bar? Yes, said Laura Kowalski, a senior psychology politi- cal science major. No, said Kathy Latta, a junior interior design major. Uhhhhh . . . okay. Why? Kowalski pauses and reflects, It ' s not that I ' m upset by the places that are here now. These places play OK music and they ' re not too pretentious. But if I could have my ideal bar, I would have it play Motown and the Beatles and 60s music. My friends and I have talked about this a lot. But Latta said, It ' s no big deal where we go. Wherever my friends and I are, we ' re gonna have a good time. Larry Joseph, a senior computer and management sci- ence major, said he and his roommates stop just about everywhere when they go downtown. Of the bars in Kent, he likes different ones for different reasons. The Loft is good, because it ' s laid-back, you can usual- ly get a table, and lots of people I know hang out there. But Ray ' s has a good selection of beer, and it ' s one big room with lots going on. But as far as a new bar, yeah, it would be nice. None, well, few of the bars in Kent are really nice. You go to bars in other places and they have really good tables. They ' re Live entertainment from bluegrass to jazz is a major attraction to Kent ' s down- town scene. All photos by Viv Addicott 118 119 Some enjoy the atmosphere of the bar scene, while others prefer to do their partying outside. 120 Left, Carl Eichhorn shares a drink with his admirers at the Loft. just classier. As far as music, I ' d say it should have a good mix, maybe a DJ — a little of everything on the jukebox, Joseph said. Senior theater major Mark Polcyn agreed. A new place would need to be very well taken care of. It needs to be a place where you would feel intimidated about trashing it. Right now, I don ' t think there ' s a place like that. I mean something that ' s more quiet and reserved — a place you could take a date, he said. Most bars either attract the new wavers, a middle group, or a ritzy group, said Don Cuddy, a senior educa- tion major. Kent needs a place that would attract all types — a populist approach. Senior Joanne Litwack, a telecommunications major, added, Kent needs one that ' s bigger, with a big place to dance. I like going to bars where you can be yourself and not worry about dressing up to get all smoky, she said. Swell. Anything we left out? No heavy metal, ' said Kowalski. Anything but heavy metal, said Joseph. No hanging ferns, said Polcyn. And nicer bathrooms, added Joseph. But not everyone feels that Kent bars need redesigning. Jim Pleshinger, a junior journalism major, said, Kent doesn ' t need a new bar, although it sometimes seems we could use one. I ' m not especially wild about the trendier, dressier places with mirrors, glass and 42 video screens. You need to feel comfortable when you go downtown, and if I could design a new bar, that ' s what I would gear it to. Hyllori Leshman, a junior recreation major, felt the same way. A new bar? No. I don ' t think we need the ones we have. But we could use something new, like a TGIFriday ' s: dancing, good food — a young adult kind of place. A little dressier, she said. You don ' t really need to make a lot of changes, said junior Mike Fender. Our bars are a lot like the ones in other towns. The Kent bar scene is not bad, not at all.

On election day the people become the boss — an old cliche, but accurate. And, on election day 1984, incumbent Ronald Reagan won the overwhelming ap- proval of his employers. During the campaign, many people felt the president would win. He was charismatic and well-liked. What they didn ' t know was by how large a mar- gin. The president won about 60 per- cent of the popular vote in his race against Democratic challenger Wal- ter Mondale, but more importantly, the president carried 525 of the 538 electoral votes — one of the biggest electoral landslides in the history of the presidency. All through the campaign, the president preached his ideals of a strong America — one that could withstand the attacks of internal eco- nomic repression as well as dealing with the Soviet Union in forceful terms. Obviously, the American peo- ple liked what they heard. And while the president pulled more and more votes to the Republi- can camp during the months of the campaign, the Democrats battled dissention within their ranks in trying to decide who would have the task of trying to unseat the president. Eight candidates — including Ohio Sen. John Glenn — were on the nation ' s first primary ticket (New Hampshire) in February. Some politically active Kent State students with a desire to help get the Glenn campaign off the ground traveled to Concord, N.H., and spent almost a week there hand- ing out leaflets and manning precinct voting headquarters. The Glenn ef- 130 Gregg Ellman (above and below) They ran an admirable campaign, but it wasn ' t enough to boost Democratic presidential candidate Walter Mondale and his running mate, Ger- aldlne Ferraro, to vic- tory. fort, however, stalled early, and the senator pulled out of the race after the Super Tuesday election. The struggle for Democratic su- premacy was finally settled in San Francisco at the party ' s national con- vention. Former Vice President Wal- ter Mondale edged out Colorado Sen. Gary Hart for the nomination. Although the Democrats could not stand up to the Reagan political ma- chine, they did accomplish two American firsts. The Rev. Jesse Jackson, the first black to make a se- rious run at a major party nomina- tion, stayed in the race until the end and made a good showing. Also, Democratic vice presidential nomi- nee Geraldine Ferraro became the first woman to run on a major party ' s ticket. If the Democrats did nothing else, they broke down race and sex barriers in the American political sys- tem like no one had before. And the Republicans proved just how popular Ronald Reagan is in America.

Reagan and Bush captured an amazing landslide vic- tory in the 1984 elec- tion, evidence of a generally conserva- tive-minded public. 131 Entertainment 132 133 Halloween 134 Above, John Wyse thing, and they were. There were strapping young lads dolled up in their girlfriends ' best dresses, and delightful lasses decked out in gang- ster suits. No ghost was safe this night as fully three squads of Ghost- busters were on patrol, compliment- ed by an auxiliary Beerbuster squad, proclaiming that they weren ' t ' fraid of no beer! . Dandies, pirates and bucklers of the swash fenced in the street and courted damsels on the sidewalk. The strangest thing of all, though, was the parents who brought their children out to see this freak show. Crazies abounded and all enjoyed themselves that night, a living testi- mony to the fact that Halloween is Kent ' s most glorious holiday. Pete Coogan Halloween. Mere mention of this holiday conjures up thoughts of ter- ror-filled faces peering out of dark- ened windows, nasty beasties and ghouls and goblins haunting desert- ed neighborhoods and towns. This may be the case in far and foreign lands, but not at KSU. In Kent All Hal- lows Eve is synonymous with fun, and Halloween ' 84 was no exception. The evening started with a few pri- vate parties spread inconspicuously throughout the city. Guests and other assorted personages filled the porches and houses to overflowing. Gangs and groups attended the bashes en masse. The revered holy man, Gandhi, was seen at one gath- ering. He was followed shortly after- ward by an all-female six-pack of Lite Beer from Miller, accompanied by an all-male six of Bud. The females were then given the ovum treatment by a band of wandering sperm on their way to the downtown festivities. Downtown Kent was a most mar- velous place this night, due to a com- mingling of all age and social groups. Kent ' s spirit of mild intolerance was replaced by an inebriated accep- tance of all.

Dick Scesniak led the Golden Flashes into the season with only one goal — to improve — even if that meant a 1-9-1 record, half a game better than his inau- gural season as KSU ' s head coach. Since the Flashes ' only accomplish- ment in 1983 was extinguishing a 21- game losing streak, the longest in the nation at the time, expectations of more than a pair of wins seemed a bit high for the 1984 edition of Kent State football. KSU equaled its 1983 win total in its first game when sophomore tailback Derrick Nix led the team to a 24-17 vic- tory over the University of Akron with a career-high 110 yards rushing. The Flashes journeyed to Lexington, Ky. to take on the Kentucky Wildcats of the powerful Southeastern Conference. The Cats were too much for the Flashes, however, and produced an of- The Flashes ended their losing streak when they beat the Ball State Cardinals 15-10.

DeLeone finished his career with the NCAA re- cord for most consecutive and career punts without having one blocked. Two KSU wide receivers concluded their careers in 1984 by setting all-time records. Flanker Todd Feldman caught a 23-yard pass in the Bowling Green game to finish with 1,663 yards receiv- ing, one more yard than Kim Featsent ' s previous mark.

The Flashes, who had been coached the previous two years by Don Lumley, had to adapt once again to a new coach, John Wallin, named head coach and director of the Kent State Ice Arena Aug. 1, 1984. Lumley left the team to accept a po- sition as assistant director of KSU Physical Plant Services. Wallin came to KSU from the Cana- dian American Hockey Group, where he had been operations director since 1979. He also had been a part-time scout since 1982 for the Calgary Flames of the National Hockey League. Wallin gained collegiate coaching ex- perience at Chicago State, where he compiled a 53-1 6-5 record over a two- Mark Rogers 162 Photos by Mark Rogers year period. In his first season with KSU, Wallin ' s Flashes finished with an 11-14-2 record. The team finished the season winning the KSU Pepsi Invitational Tournament.

An overstatement of the suc- cess of this year ' s team? Hardly. Led by the seniors Anthony Grier and Larry Bobbins, the Flashes finished the year with a 17-13 record under third-year coach Jim McDonald. That re- cord, however, is only the tip of the iceberg when the real story begins to unfold. A first-ever trip to national post-season tournament play, a third-place conference finish, and the most wins in 35 years are just the backbone of this team ' s accomplishments. Despite a 77-61 loss to Cin- cinnati in the first round of the National Invitation Tournament, Kent State stepped out from under the shell which Kent ' s program has remained in since its inception. It was high time for the Flashes to earn the respect of their peers in the traditionally powerful Midwest. A long-suf- fering program before McDon- ald ' s 1982 debut, KSU has slowly reversed its losing trend and has put together three con- secutive winning seasons. Strong efforts by both Grier and Bobbins were essential to the team ' s success. Only losing one senior from last year ' s team promised a strong team for this year, but detractor ' s of the Flashes were skeptical that KSU could find a spot at the top of the MAC. Still, the team ' s po- tential was there for an out- standing season. And the Flashes certainly reached that potential. A regular-season third-place tie with Toledo, whose 1 0-6 re- cord matched Kent ' s, had some Peter Phun Tempers flared and emotions ran high as the Flashes battled their way to their first national post- season tournament, the NIT. 164 believers expecting a repeat performance of tlie Plasties ' second-place finish in the 198th MAC tournament.

During the regular season, Kent State posted impressive wins over Defiance College, Edinboro State and Big Ten pow- er Ohio State. The Flashes recorded a fine 5-1 record in the MAC during the season. The team ' s five conference victories included a 34-9 win over defending MAC champion Miami on KSU Wres- tling Alumni Day. Instrumental in leading the Flashes to their fine perfor- mances were seniors Doug Dake, Ed DiFeo and Rick Wilson, along with junior Don Horning. Horning, Dake and DiFeo each garnered an NCAA championship berth. Horning took championships in two pre-season tourna- ments at 118 pounds. He also captured the MAC champion- ship and was ranked in the top five wrestlers in the nation much of the season. In the NCAAs Horning finished third at 118 and was named All-American. Dake, the defending MAC champion at 177 pounds, fin- ished second in the conference this season after being upset by Northern Illinois ' John Major. Like Horning, Dake spent the season ranked among the nation ' s top ten wrestlers in his weight class. At the NCAAs Dake finished seventh and was also named an All-American. DiFeo compiled a fine record for the Flashes with more than Photos by Mark Rogers 168 Wrestling can be a very topsy-turvy business.

He also captured his weight class at the West Virginia Open early in the season. Roger Metzger 169 Women ' s Basketball The Kent State Lady Flashes began the sea- son with an inexperienced roster. They wel- comed back three juniors and three sopho- mores from the 1 983-84 team that went 5-22 over- all and 4-14 in the Mid-American Conference. Added to this nucleus were six freshmen and one sophomore. KSU began the season with a 64-54 loss to Youngstown State, but won its next two games over Cleveland State and Xavier. The Lady Flashes had a 4-5 record when they began confer- ence play against Bowling Green. The Lady Flashes lost eight of their fi rst ten MAC games, defeating Eastern Michigan on Jan. 5 and Ball State, on the road, Jan. 19. But KSU coach Laurel Wartluft began shuffling the line-up, mixing in the freshmen with the veter- ans. The result was a 4-4 record in the team ' s final eight games. The last two losses, to Miami and Central Michigan, were by a combined total of four points. The Lady Flashes ended the season by rallying from a 17 point deficit to defeat Bowling Green 67- 65 in overtime. The loss kept Bowling Green out of the MAC tournament. KSU ended the season with an overall record of 10-17 and 6-12 in the MAC. Sophomore Judi Dum, 1984 freshman of the year in the MAC, led the team with a 13.6 scoring average. She averaged over 20 points in the last eight games when the Lady Flashes began their comeback. Junior Amy Schuler proved to be another cata- lyst of the team, averaging 1 1 .1 points a game and dishing out 73 assists during the season. Perhaps the most pleasant surprise of the sea- son was Jennifer Grandstaff. After averaging 10 points and starting all 27 games (the only other KSU player to do this was Dum), Grandstaff was selected as MAC freshman of the year. With Dum and Grandstaff each being honored as freshman of the year the last two seasons, KSU became the first school in MAC women ' s basket- ball history to have two players from the same team achieve this award in consecutive seasons. Ken Krizner A combination of grit, determination and concen- tration helped the Lady Flashes to win twice as many games this season as last. 170 Above, and below, Coach Laurel Wartluft directs the Lady Flashes from the bench during a tense game.

The first-ever triumph over a Big 10 school highlighted the men ' s efforts, as they defeated the University of Michi- gan by a count of 255.3 to 243.6 on. Feb. 7. KSU ' s women closed out the home season on March 8 with their finest performance of the year. The Lady Flashes compiled a sea- son-high mark of 174.85 en route to double dual meet victories over Ball State and Clarion. Their team score was only .65 of a point shy of the record of 175.5, which was established in 1984. The men ' s team placed second be- hind Western Michigan at the Great Lakes League meet and managed a Gymnastics requires a delicate bal- ance of strength, determination and grace — and just a little bit of dream- ing. season high aggregate score of 266.65 in the event. On March 16, the KSU men conclud- ed their competitive schedule with a first place finish at the Eastern Colle- giate Invitational. The win marked the fourth successive year the Flashes have prevailed in the meet. The women ' s team placed a disap- pointing sixth at the MAC meet, but had one individual qualify for Region- als, while two other Lady Flashes came close. Freshman Wendie Burrier finished fifth in the Northeast Region in the all- around, which earned her a trip to the Pittsburgh Regional competition as an independent. Kathy Collett and Debbie Rose just missed the cutoff of the region ' s top six, as they placed eighth and 13th, re- spectively. For the men ' s team individually, se- nior Mark Gilliam had the remarkable distinction of ranking first in the nation on the floor exercise, with an outstand- ing final average of 9.79. Gilliam also qualified for the NCAA championships, as he did in 1983. He joined four of his teammates on the 1985 Great Lakes League squad, se- nior co-captains Lee Pluhowski and Tom Varner, Greg Francis, and Tom Logar. Men ' s coach Terry Nesbitt complet- ed his seventh year at the helm, where he has led his squads to a fine 55-30 ledger, including a pair of Great Lakes League championships. For Rudy and Janet Bachna, it was year no. 26 as KSU ' s gymnastics au- thorities. The dynamic duo have guid- ed their teams over the years to a phe- nomenal .750 winning percentage.

Top, runners from six different schools compete with KSU in a Mid-Ameri- can Conference meet.  5 ' . 174 The Kent State men ' s indoor track team had to manipulate its thin roster to fill such non- standard events as the open 300, 500, 600 and 1000-meter events, and the 3200-meter relay. As a result, KSU posed only a minor threat in these areas, and the Flashes enjoyed little success during the indoor season. The team fared better in the outdoor season, though, as the unorthodox in- door events were replaced by standard events including the 100 and 200-meter dashes and the 400 and 1 600-meter re- lays. Inconsistency w as one of the biggest problems the Flashes faced during the outdoor season. The field and short sprint men carried the team during most of the meets while the squad ' s only oth- er noticeable consistency was in the weight area. Two standouts among the KSU weightmen were Senior Matt Lewis and Junior Joe Napoli, both shot putters. Ju- niors Thomas Jefferson, Olympic bronze medalist, and Lloyd Richardson led the KSU runners, along with Senior Mike McGruder. The Kent State women ' s track team performed better during the outdoor season than during the indoor season as the Lady Flashes faced the same problem their male counterparts did — a thin roster unable to function competi- tively in the non-standard indoor events. The outdoor season could not have started any better for the Lady Flashes, however. KSU opened the season with a victory in the Early Bird Relays in Hun- tington, W. Va. The squad scored 61 points, topping the nine-team field, while their closest opposition, second place Ashland College and third place Marshall College, finished far behind with 46 and 38 points, respectively. Despite this victory, the Lady Flashes were plagued by inconsistency and nev- er seemed able to equal their initial suc- cess. Freshman Colleen Connolly, Sophomore Jodi Riedel and Junior Sue Fitzgerald led the team ' s field unit throughout the season while Senior Co- Captain Rose Johnson was one of the most reliable runners on the outdoor squad.

Jim Fossett Jim Fossett 175 In his first sea- son as head coach of the KSU baseball team, Bob Todd managed to stay on the win- ning end of a 24- 20 season. It was a far cry from 1983, the most successful season in Flash baseball history, but many of the players didn ' t seem wor- ried. Coach Todd taught me more about the entire game than anyone else ever has, first baseman Ja- mie Stehlin said after the season. Some of the bright spots of the 1984 season in- Photos by Mark Rogers Baseball eluded series wins against such top Mid-American conference teams as Miami and Western Michigan. The Flashes ended the season with 11 MAC wins, setting a new team record for conference victories. According to Todd, Kent State had been playing below its poten- tial for a number of years. He wanted a change for his team. For years, the baseball program wasn ' t winning, so they dropped the schedule — playing lower division schools to build up the team ' s spirit, Todd said. This year, we started tougher, higher division teams. It helped us a great deal. In keeping with his coaching philosophy, Todd sees bigger and better things on the horizon for the Kent State baseball team. But the first priority is rebuilding. The Big Eight conference is one of the most competitive confer- ences in the country — Kent State can, and will, play baseball at the level of the Big Eight in the future, Todd said. Despite the boost KSU received from playing tougher competi- tion in 1984, an 11 -game mid-season losing streak had a dismal effect on the ball club. Of the 1 1 in a row that we lost, eight were in the MAC. We finished just three games out of second place in the conference (with an 11-14 record), so if any of those games would have turned around, we would have placed second, Todd said. In their first season under new head coach Bob Todd, the Golden Flashes finished the season with 1 1 confer- ence wins, setting a new team record. Pitcher Rick Moyer, above, was named as a second team All- MAC pick. Below, shortstop Rob Good- win takes first on the hit-and-run. 176 The 1984 Softball season was one of potential, just as it was a season of lost chances for the Kent State softball team. The Lady Flashes, under the direc- tion of head coach Lori Fuglestad, ended their season with a 19-22 re- cord. A number of the games lost by the team were decided by only one run, including one game which lasted for 27 innings. According to Fuglestad, the team ' s talent exceeded its performance dur- ing the 1984 season. We really played sub-par consid- ering the talent that we had on the team this year, Fuglestad said. In critical situations, they (the players) didn ' t fill their responsibilities, and sometimes our players just put too much pressure on themselves. It was hard and frustrating — sometimes we just defeated ourselves. Throughout the season, the Lady Flashes struggled to balance a strong defense with a weak offense. Although the team batting average was only .225, KSU managed to fin- ish the season with a .950 fielding percentage, with the pitchers posting a 1.11 ERA. The players will have a little more experience next year, Fuglestad promised. The players we have will have been playing under me for two, three, or four years, and we ' re not going to have many players graduat- ing. We ' ll be much improved — soft- ball from the high school level to the college level is completely differ- ent, and it takes time for players to gain confidence. Mike Crosby tf- ---.

Although the team did not advance past the semi-finals, merely making it to the championships at Ball State ended the season on a positive note. The season began with a bang, as the Lady Flashes opened the season with two shutouts. By the end of September, following their first-ever win over Ohio State, Kent State ' s record stood at 6-3.

Jay Dummermuth Mark Rogers 179 Jim Fossett Rugby Jennifer Brown 180 The Kent State Rugby Club ' s fall season was highlighted by a 7-2 overall record and the championship of the Ohio University Tournament in Athens. KSU ' s season got off to a bad start with a loss to the Bowling Green Fal- cons 13-7. However, the team went on to record seven straight victories before losing to the Miami Redskins in the Ohio Rugby Union Tourna- ment. The team beat Wittenberg Univer- sity 31-0 and the Erie (Pa.) City Club 31 -4. But the true test of Kent State ' s ability came in the team ' s come-from- behind victory over Dayton Universi- ty. Midway through the second half, Kent State scored thirteen unan- swered points to overcome a 13-6 deficit and defeat Dayton 19-13. KSU defeated the University of Cincinnati 22-12, then qualified for the Ohio Rugby Union Tournament by downing John Carroll University 14-6. The club traveled to Athens on Hal- loween weekend to participate in the Jennifer Brown Ohio University Tournament. The championship match with Ohio Uni- versity, however, was a defensive struggle with Kent State winning 7-0. Following the season, three Kent State players: Rob Annen, Ken Brig- den and Bob Melenick, were named to the Ohio Rugby Union all-star team.

Much unlike the 1983 squad, the Lady Flashes were helped by exper- ienced players, including senior cap- tain Laurie Mehlenbacher, senior Kim Maddox, and sophomore Lynda Shepler, all of w hom were ranked in the top MAC standings. Because there were only two se- niors on the 1984 team, the prospect of a winning KSU volleyball team in upcoming seasons seems unusually bright. Highlights nf the 1954 season in- cluded a four-game sweep over the University of Akron, a five-game win over Cleveland State, and a season- ending come-from-behind victory at Miami. Mike Belopotoski Veteran players such as Lynda Shepler (far left), Pam Laake (left) and Lisa Baker (bot- tom) added much- needed experience to the team in its ill-fated season.

The 800 freestyle relay, comprised of sophomores Brenda Bury and Martha Curley and freshmen Kathy Kropf and Lauren Neft, placed first in the Mid-Ameri- can Conference with a record-breal ing time of 7:43.56. In addition, the women broke nine school records and posted a fifth place conference finish which, Oberlin commented, was the team ' s best confer- ence performance yet. Winning made coaching this season ' s women a lot of fun, he added. The men took sixth place in the MAC. Oberlin commented that they were up and down in the dual meets but that he was pleased with the overall season. Freshman Peter Horwitz ' s first place conference finish in the 100 backstroke with a 53.09 highlighted the men ' s season. Junior Todd Glascock broke the school re- cord in the 200 freestyle, and all three of the men ' s relays qualified for the United States Swimming Senior Nationals in Los Angeles. However, Oberlin said that ex- penses kept them from attending. The Flashes finished their season with a 1-7 record overall and a 1-3 record in the MAC. The Lady Flashes had a 4-6 overall record and a 1-4 record in the MAC. 185 Intramural Softball Judy Solon, right, ob- serves an intramural Softball game and wonders if her team can really make it to the tournament.

That is if you don ' t mind a short walk to Allerton Fields, lots of fresh air and the camaraderie of other teammates all trying to win the big one. Although the participation level for intra- mural Softball decreased this year, softball still remained the second most popular in- tramural sport on campus. Over 1850 stu- dents, faculty and staff took part in the fall semester softball tournament. The 144 teams played a three-game round robin schedule for the regular sea- son. The season was followed by a single elimination championship tournament. This year ' s big winner in the Super 8 Tournament was the Alabama Slammers, while the women ' s tournament was won by the big machine from New Front, The Prentice Powerhouse. Winona Vannoy, director of intramurals, said she was surprised to see this year ' s slight drop in intramural participation. The reasons for people to participate in intramural sports range from fitness, to competitiveness, to social reasons, Van- noy explained. For this reason we may have lost a few players to other intramural sports. Overall, Vannoy felt that the intramural softball season was a success for all in- volved. John James 187 Photos, above and below, by Peter Phun Everyone who has experienced a winter at Kent State knows that they can be cold and physically limiting. Responding to this need for exercise and fun in the winter months, the in- tramural department created basket- ball-for-the-masses. And the masses turned out this winter. Over 1,500 people participated in intramural basketball this year, and the number of teams grew to 162. These teams were separated into six divisions, including the A league, the B league, the Women ' s league, the Co-Rec league, the KSU league, and the Faculty-Graduate-Staff (FGS) league. Winners of the A league were Chocolate City, while Tucker ' s Tip- pers won the B league. Taking the honors for the women ' s league was 14-Carat Gold. It ' s Casual won the Co-Rec league, and the Porphyb- lasts took the FGS league. This year a three-on-three tourna- ment was held, as well as a one-on- one tournament. Many players be- came involved in these tournaments instead of the team competition, which may explain a decrease in team participation.

Intramural volleyball continued to enjoy its in- crease in campus popularity during the 1984-85 school year. Over 1 20 teams participated in the fall and spring versions of the sport. The teams that participated this year were clas- sified into three categories: the women ' s division, the Co-Rec division, and the Co-Rec power divi- sion. Fourty-four teams participated in the fall version of volleyball. The women ' s division winner was the Court Dusters. The Coral Reefers claimed the title in the Co-Rec division, and the Co-Rec power divi- sion was won by the Peace. Winona Vannoy, director of intramurals, said, I was pleased with the participation level we achieved this year. Volleyball is becoming one of our most popular sports. Volleyball ' s increasing popularity on campus be- came evident this year as over 1 ,350 people par- ticipated. Once again, the intramural department served up a winner of a sport. John James 190 Even volleyball can involve hand-to-hand combat at times. This year more people than ever tried their hands at intramural volleyball, as the participation level passed 1,350. 191 ■i, jr. -J V  .- «.- 192 Intramural Football Intramural football continued to be the third most popular intramural sport this fall as over 1250 students, faculty and staff turned out to play with the pigskin. Intramural football fielded 96 teams this year, with an average of 13 people per team. The teams were divided into four divisions, including the popular dorm and independent leagues. Teams also participated in the women ' s league and the KSU league, which demonstrat- ed the highest level of talent, according to Winona Vannoy, director of intramur- als and campus recreation. Vannoy explained that each team played a three-game regular season, using a round robin schedule, followed by a two-week single elimination cham- pionship tournament. Brian Mooar, Bob Huff (below) Mark Rogers (above and below) The winners in tills year ' s tournament were Inner Circle in the dorm league, Phi lappa Kegga in the independent league and Duffy II in the women ' s league. Ab- sent from this year ' s league roster were the fraternities, who won last year ' s tournament. Vannoy said the fraterni- ties failed to sign up in time to play. Vannoy expressed satisfaction with the results of this year ' s season. She said that Kent State intramural partici- pation, which averages 50 percent, was above the national average.
