Middle Tennessee State University - Midlander Yearbook (Murfreesboro, TN)

Text from Pages 1 - 360 of the 1976 volume:

W- ' Looking back on your time at this place called MTSU ,-oa 4b § m We know that you ' ll remember most not what happened, but rather, who it happened with. We can offer, at best, a history of the year, minus those special people. Realizing all of this, the 1976 Midlander is dedicated to the people of your memories. FRESHMAN WEEK H A concert, dance and football game highlighted the jam-packed agenda known as freshman orientation during the initial week of the fall semester. The week s activities opened with a mass meeting of con- fused freshmen and competent student orientation advisors in Murphy Center. Afterwards, the new students were treated to an event known as dorm mixers. Wild Mountain Thyme and Foxfire performed in concert to a less than enthusiastic audience at the Dramatic Arts audi- torium Friday night. But undoubtedly the worst frustration occurred during registration Saturday morning. Standing in line which snaked across Murphy Center, some weary freshmen entertained thoughts of returning home. After endless hours, the survivors completed the maze of registration and relaxed during an extended weekend. Classes began Wednesday morning. That night, the Ideas and Issues committee sponsored The Story of Dracula as narrated by Raymond McNally. A second-year performance of Mark Twain on Stage de- lighted another DA audience Tuesday night. John Chappell brought the stage alive with his superb portrayal of America ' s greatest humorist. A Friday night dance with the Cadillacs set the freshmen bopping to good ole rock-n-roll music. Concluding the week s activities on Saturday, the Blue Raiders battled Tennessee State University to open the 1975 football season. Dressed up to boogie, freshmen dance to the ' fifties ' music of the Cadillacs. filhen Charlie Daniels announced plans to have Volunteer Jam 75 in Murphy Center, he said he was inviting everybody in the music industry to show up and perform. Although everybody didn ' t show up, there were enough folks to keep the concert going for over four hours, rocking a standing-room-only crowd into near exhaustion. Buckeye, a powerhouse band from the Midwest, opened the show. The six member band fired up the audience well, combining guitar and saxophone in smooth duels of sheer energy. Their hard, crashing set opened the way for Daniels to take the stage. Daniels said it was one of the biggest honors of my life, being in front of you tonight, and the enthu siastic crowd greeted his appearance with thunderous applause. Daniels and his band opened their set with a Tennessee Waltz instrumental, then directly into their hit, Whiskey. With the crowd still on its feet, they rocked into the mellow Going Back to Bir- mingham and the powerful Trudy and No Place Left to Go. Several members of the Wet Willie and Marshall Tucker bands took the stage to aid Daniels with the country sounds of Long Haired Country Boy and a new He ' s a Damn Good Cowboy, and I Hope to Hell He Stays in Tennessee. ' Other strong numbers the artists performed in- cluded the Spanish-sounding El Diablo, several . i % fJ I ♦ r songs emphasizing Daniels on the fid ' die and the near-classic The Souths •, Gonna Do It Again. To close out their first part of the show, Daniels and friends brought the crowd back to its feet, clapping to the fiddle strains of The Orange Blossom Special. After a short break the whole damn Marshall Tucker Band came on stage and played several of their hits, includ- ing Searching for a Rainbow and 24 Hours at a Time. For the last part of the concert, various artists joined Daniels on stage to jam through several long numbers. Among the performers aiding Daniels were Alvin Lee of Ten Years After fame, Ronnie Van Zandt of Lynard Skynard and three members of the Allman Brothers Band — guitarist Richard Betts, pianist Chuck Leavell and the Brothers ' bassist. The show roared to a close with Betts ripping through Ramblin Man, everyone back on stage for the old- fashioned Mountain Dew and then once again to the Tennessee Waltz to end a most amazing concert. Although it was broadcast live over the radio and recorded for a rebroad- cast on TV, there will never be any way to recreate the excitement the Volunteer Jam caused inside Murphy Center. You had to be there to really know. HOMECOMING tfsii tiiiml ' ol 70 The Spirit of 76 was the theme of MTSU ' s final homecoming before the Bicentennial. Pep rallies and an activities day highlighted the week before the game. Sigma Chi won the trophy for activities day, which included such old time events as a sack race, balloon tossing, wheelbarrow race and pie eating. Music played a big part in the homecoming celebrations as Shotgun played for the home- coming dance, the Temprees ' provided music for a special performance for the Black Student Association and Linda Ronstadt came to town for the homecoming concert. The week was not without controversy. A short parade, marred by a steady drizzle of rain, was made shorter because of conflicts with the local high schools which were upset because of their placement in the parade and because of a conflict over the use of Jones Field. A National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws float composed of a giant joint in red, white and blue papers caused some furor in the community and on campus. The winning float was submitted by the Middle Tennessee Christian Center with the theme, ' We Still Trust in God. The rain continued into the homecoming game itself, which turned out to be a big 17-5 victory for the Blue Raiders. The rain didn t dampen student participation, however. Sigma Chi won their second trophy of the week for best house decorations, Monohan Hall won yet again for the best dorm decorations and Alpha Tau Omega won the homecoming spirit trophy for the second year in a row. All in all, homecoming week was, as usual, a fun and interesting time for students and alumni alike. ■ 0 . ow that lithe, petite body like hers can belt out a song like she does is totally beyond me. But belt is what she did when Linda Ronstadt appeared at Murphy Center home- coming weekend. Fronted by a fairly tight Barefoot Jerry, a d a fairly good Andrew Gold, Ronstadt didn ' t get on stage until after 10p.m. But when she did, it was magic. Ronstadt, known by many as the queen of country-rock, showed her receptive audience her total range and proved that she can just about handle anything that moves fairly fast or fairly slow. Doing such old standards as Buddy Holly ' s That ' ll Be the Day, Paul Anka ' s ' It Don ' t Matter Anymore, ' Hank William ' s I Can ' t Help It (If I ' m Still In Love With You ), ' she proved she could handle the old really- country and the old really-rock songs. Her renditions of ' Heat Wave, Hey, Mister, That ' s Me Up On The Jukebox and Silver Threads and Golden Needles, proved it even further. f s Songs attributed to her such as You ' re No Good, Love has No Pride, Long, Long Time, When Will I Be Loved, the old Eagles tune (her former backup group) Desperado, and Neil Young ' s Love Is A Rose were just as good on the Murphy Center Stage as in her albums and other live performances. All proving that thing which sums Ronstadt up is that she does rock with feavor and country with class. Though her backup vocals, including show opener Andrew Gold, were just about the tightest I have ever heard, Ron- stadt just didn ' t have enough rapport with her audience to really get them involved in what she was doing. Ronstadt has the type of voice that takes you down a long highway at night k hen you are in the middle of nowhere heading home. Her voice is well-honed sharp and mellow. The piece de resistance was her encore song Heart Like A Wheel , which in my opinion is her best, in which Andrew Gold did with the piano what I only thought possible with the cellt and violin, on the backup. Although she made references to show she didn ' t exactly know where she was, it didn ' t matter because she was at MTSU and made a dismal homecoming weekend bright anyway, Goodnight. Vanderbilt . ..smr ' PINBALL A New York lawyer said it promoted idleness. One psychologist suggested it was an outlet for homosexual urges. In spite of this criticism, pinball addicts nationwide are enthusiastically gambling those hard-earned quarters and giving the slot machine industry a major sensation. Pointing to the number of teenage games rooms (archades?) appearing in the nation ' s shopping malls, one pinball distributor said that all coin machines are experiencing a rebirth. In fact, the University Center games room has four machines — the Bally Flicker, Air Aces, Boomerang and the Wizard which is based on the pinball player ' s national anthem, Pinball Wizard, by the Who. 16 A n n n They run just about non-stop, ' according to games room manager Elson Dennis. When nothing else is running, the pinball machines are. The electrical response and the challenge of competing against a machine seem to be behind pinball ' s charismatic appeal, he explained. Each machine is adorned with flashing lights and pie-bald pictures of voluptuous women, laughing comedians and daring men each beckoning the player to pit himself against the machine just one more time. Players slouch over the glass tops of the machines watch- ing the shiny ball bounce and bump as it careens down the board amidst ingenious traps and gadgets which flash on and off to the tune of dull door bells and an assort- ment of thwocks and buzzes. Once the speeding ball reaches the flippers, the player sends the object rocketing up the board with the press of a button and the moist nudge of a hand or hip or what some people call body English. He must be careful not to tilt the machine lest the gismo cut itself off. (Hint: According to Senior Scholastic Magazine, the tilt device is on the left side of the machine. so caress and bump on the right. ) With the advent of the space age pinball video game and the demands of an electronical society, pinball is coming out of the smoke-filled honky tonks, pool halls and truck stops. In fact, the games have become so popular that television magnates have got in on the act and produced a pinball t pe game show. According to one Atlanta distributor, For years, our games — pinball, shuffle alley, pool — appealed mainly to, you know, the laboring class. Now with the video games, you have a broader patronage. I mean a lot of lounges will take a video game that never would have let a pinball machine in the door. Why does pinball have such a shady past? Apparently the colorful machines are still operating under the stigma of Mafia rule in Chicago and New York Cit . in the 1930 s police began cracking down on the Mafia s slot machine business. In order to continue operation, the mob began using slot machines disguised as pinball machines. Although lack- ing flippers, the new machine operated much the same and paid off according to the number of free games a person won. To meet this challenge, legislation was passed in some cities outlawing pinball all together. In fact, pinball is still illegal in New York City. What makes people gamble on the pinball machines? According to one psychologist, the excitement of gam- bling is equivalent to masturbation and the conse- quent losses are viewed as self punishment motivated by guilt over Oedipal strivings. Well don t tell a pinball player that. That ' s a bunch of crap, replied an indignant player. Its a lot of fun. I like to hear the sound of that bell. Still other players are not so laudatory. Those machines have little vacuum cleaners which suck up souls. They just suck you right in there, retorted another player. Regardless of the reasons why people are playing pinball there seems to be a perceptible shift in attitude towards the machines. This shift has led the conservative New Yorker magazine to conclude that, The love of pinball has nothing to do with race, creed, or ethnicity; nor is it, strictly speaking, a sexual preference. Pinball is a form of solitaire. 17 DETLEF KRAUS One of the world ' s foremost pianists, Detlef Kraus, appeared in concert at the Dramatic Arts auditorium in October. Making his debut at age 16 in Hamburg, Germany, he performed Bach ' s complete Well-Tempered Clavier. As he grew in his musical knowledge, he built a large repertoire including the complete works of Brahms and Beethoven. Kraus has been guest soloist with such orchestras as the Czech Philharmonic, Berlin Philharmonic, the Pittsburg Symphony and the Paris Conservatory. In addition to his extensive concert activities, he has been professor of Master Classes for Piano at the Folkwang Hockschule of Essen, Germany for the past 13 years. VISIONS OF POWER For all those who attended, the night was spent totally enthralled with the presenta- tion on the DA stage — nothing was flashy or elaborate — just two men with simple props who presented through the blending of music and drama the writings of Carlos Castaneda in the program Visions of Power. ' Actor Burgess Meredith and composer musician Charles Lloyd presented the pro- gram capturing the terrors, bafflements and exultations of the non-ordinary ' world of sorcerer don Juan Matus and Castaneda. The captive audience had to rely upon their mind to actually see what was happen- ing. And, as in don Juan ' s world, lack of illusion became the best illusion of all. 18 HAMLET Bringing Shakespeare back to the people, is the intention of the troupe of the New Shakespeare Company. And that is what they did when they appeared in Octo- ber in the DA auditorium. We are all trying to bring forth the most concrete human conditions, the real, the now, which lie and underly, like roots of trees, at the bottom of Shakespeare ' s plays, according to Margrit Roma, director of the com- pany. A very unique departure from the traditional pre- sentations of Shakespeare was the use of a recorder and an acoustic guitar. It made the evening truly unique. 19 WHO KILLED JFK? Nov. 22, 1963 was a beautiful sunny day in Dallas, Texas. A particularly good turnout of people have come to watch the motorcade of President John Kennedy as it passes downtown. The motorcade enters the area of Dealy Plaza and suddenly the beginning of a national nightmare occurs — shots ring out — the President is hit — mass confusion everywhere. Thanks to the medium of television, Americans know in moments that something has shattered their Camelot — they know something drastic has happened to their President — and they know that Lee Harvey Oswald has been arrested for the murder of Kennedy. They see before their very eyes a man named Jack Ruby shoot and kill Oswald before he had a chance to defend himself. Months later, the Warren Commission comes out with their official report of what happened that terrible day — Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone assassin — three bullets were fired — and Jack Ruby as a fanatic who thought his duty was to kill Oswald. Harvey Yazijian of the Assassination Information Bureau put some doubts, as well as some spine chills, into the minds of those who attended the fascinating Ideas and Issues Committee presentation of Who Killed JFK . Flashing hundreds of slides to present his case, Yazijian narrarated facts accumulated through eleven years of AIB research. Also included was a showing of the Andrew Zapruder film, which according to Yazijian, was suppressed by the FBI, along with other evidence, until recently. Yazijian contests the film shows Kennedy jerking backwards — thereby destroying the theory that all the shots came from behind. The program is presented on the foundation that the Kennedy assassination was a conspiracy and though Yazijian never came out and said who he believes was behind the killing, he did make some suggestions which are indeed food for thought. SEYMOUR HERSH Saying that the press has been overrated, Pulitzer Prize winning reporter Seymour Hersh expounded his personal philosophies as well as experiences of working on such major stories as foreign and domestic spyings by the CIA, Watergate and most notably the My Lai Massacre when he spoke to a sparce DA audience in Decem- ber. Hersh, who was presented by the Ideas and Issues Committee, said that journalists are not the new heroes the public makes them out to be. If this were so, he says, Americans would have known about Watergate while it was going on instead of two years later. The press only presents the problems, they do not solve them, nor should they, he said. The problem lies in the individual American to change the complexion of Congress where it really matters. Hersh, an investigative reporter for the Washington Bureau of the New York Times, has covered the Paris peace talks and was one of the few members of the establishment press to travel to Hanoi. He is also the author of My Lai 4, Coverup ' and Chemical and Biological Warfare. 21 ♦ The Who? Yeah, that ' s right. The WHO!!! Right here at MTSU No- vember 25 had been greatly antici- pated by most everyone, and neither the horrid warm-up act nor Daltrey s maddening circles could hinder the high of the near-capacity crowd. The first band was a real joke — Toots and the Maytalls, that little ol ' band from Jamaica. Their biggie was Take Me Home Country Roads done raggae style. They stomped around on stage for a while and then left — much to the relief of the audience. The Who came on and started off slowly. For about the first hour things were quiet as the four men reeled off song after song. Some of the better numbers were Baba O ' Riley and Behind Blue Eyes from Who ' s Next and Jimi Hendrix ' s favorite Who song The Spider . The second half of the show proved to be the climax when they did a med- ley of songs from the rock opera, Tommy. Amazing Journey was the first and the worst one they did. The second song was Sparks. It was about the best one due to the per- fect synchronization of the ' eye-split- ting ' lighting system. Some much needed comic relief came when Keith M ' ir i ' ) f , . f. Moon was given a microphone and sang ' Fiddle About and Tommy ' s Holiday Camp. Pinball Wizard created a stir in the crowd, but not like that caused by See Me, Feel Me. Tiny, penetrating light rays of red and green panned out across the darkened Murphy Center. The fans stood in awe waiting for something more and were not disappointed. Rows of lights on stage ripped through the darkness to reveal a mass of excited people clapping as Daltrey ' s powerful voice stormed through Listening to You. The frenzy died down somewhat as the Who continued with Summertime Blues and My Generation. Wont Get Fooled Again was the scene of the second spectacular show of lights as well as the end of the concert. Throughout the entire show Roger Daltrey paced endlessly. Time and again he demonstrated his stunning skill at twirl- ing the microphone with one hand and catching it with the other. Pete Townshend, not to be outdone, occasionally jump- ed up and down doing a good impression of Chuck Berry. All the while John Entwistle stood placidly to one side and simply played his bass guitar. Keith Moon did not display any of his well-known explosive nature. He just drummed, and that proved to be enough to win him his fair share of attention. There ' s no doubt about it, the Who provided a good ending to an otherwise dull semester. THE PICTURE ABOUT COPSjytYAGOPi..

VERONICA ' S ROOM AND THE BOYFRIEND PROVE TALENT BEST AT MTSU Two top-notched performances were presented by the Drama Department under the direction of Dorethe Tucker that prove MTSU has one of the best drama departments in this section of the South. On opposite ends of the pole, The Boyfriend ' was a light, fanci- ful orchestrated musical and Vero- nica ' s Room was a spine-chilling, almost eeriy play that had the audi- ence holding their breath until the very last moment. Both showcased some of the best student talent around and left most people wondering what the Drama Department had left for the rest of the year. 26 fc . U J .- rf rfcL ' ■ ■ DREARY WEEKENDS IN ' BORO I I SAVED BY NASHVILLE It ' s Friday night in the ' Boro, most ■■ ' ■■ ' ■■■ ■ ■ ™ probably raining like cats and dogs and sud- ,.. •: denly you get this urge to do drink a few , drinks and maybe do a little boogying while , . you are there — or could it be you are in 5 . the mood for a nice sophisticated dinner. You have to pause and think a bit — where is there to go in Murfreesboro? Still think- , . ing? Well, you better quit while you are ■ • ' ' ahead. Oh, of course, there is always Monk ' s (if you like paying a steep cover charge), the three movie theatres, the pinball ma- _ chines in the UC (which are always crowd- ed). Stones River Motel or Holiday Inn (lounges, that is), but most of these places are beer-drinking joints and do not really offer a classy evening, If you drink, you are well aware that liquor can only be purchased in packages (don ' t gripe, that didn ' t happen until five years ago ). So where do you go? Right! 32 miles northwest of us is Music City USA, otherwise known as Nashville and the savior of many weekend-stranded MTSU students. Of course, everyone has their special place to go. A few of these I _; places will probably be left out, but just remember Nashville is a fairly large place and it would take a fortune to go to everything. But here is a partial list of a few favorites: Elliston Place (at the end of Church Street ) has a fairly decent offering of night spots aimed particularly toward the college-aged single people. There is TGI Fridays which offers one of the best j hamburgers around — the All-American Cheeseburger —as well as great atmosphere. Decorated with wood floors, wooden chairs and tiffany lamps, Fridays is not the place to go when you want a quiet dinner. The noise is probably another trademark of the place, which is a part of a national chain. The waiters are very loose and informal. Fridays is known for their good drinks, particularly their whiskey sours they serve in beer mugs. The restaurant recently . added a line of snacks — try their cheese natchos, they are really I out of sight. The most unique feature of Fridays is their Thank God Its Fri- day party held on Thursday nights which is complete with party hats. Moderately price, Fridavs offers a fairlv decent get-away-from-it-all atmosphere. Two doors down from Fridays is the txit In — a really good place to go and listen to some really heavy music. The establish- ment is fairly well respected by people in the music business and this is proved by the entertainers that appear there: Barefoot Jerry, Dan Foge.lberg, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings and Dobie Gray just to mention a few. (If you are lucky, you may get to hear some really good jams from unscheduled entertainers who just happen to pass by. ) There is a cover charge, and at last checking, food and beverages were offered. But don ' t go there unless you intend to go and enjoy yourself. i Hi On further down Church Street toward town is Mississippi Whiskers, which of- fers some good beer and entertainment. It has just recently come to the attention of many MTSU students — so look for it to rise in popularity. On over from Elliston place is the street which offers the famed Bluegrass Inn. Nothing fancy, but Hubert Davis and family most of the time doing their thing, as well as the coldest beer to be found in Nashville. At last checking, there was a 50 cent cover charge. It also seems that Vanderbilt has invaded the sanctum, but if you can put up with people who try to get attention to shift to them, you can pretty much enjoy yourself. Don ' t go expecting anything else but good ole blue- grass — and you won ' t be disappointed. The Old Time Pickin ' Parlor is along the same lines as the Inn, but it is down- town near the river. At this time it is open and offers good old bluegrass and beer. (For those who like the kinkier entertainment, the massage parlors are numerous around there). In the shadow of Vanderbilt are some good eating places. Irelands, one of the three in Nashville, offers their famous steak and biscuits; O ' Charley ' s offers some really sensibly priced steaks and a bit more sophistication than previously men- tioned place; Muhlenbrink ' s Saloon (formerly Jocks) is also in that area. Right smack in the middle of town is the new Hyatt-Regency which offers some really neat places to go and some really sensible prices, too. On the first floor is the Blue Max, a discotheque which as really offers some high class entertainment such as the Buckinghams and the Platters. There is a cover charge, but the drinks are really good as are the shows. Traveling up the glass elevators in the 30-plus stories, one will find on the top floor of the Regency the Polaris Room, a revolving cocktail lounge which offers a spectacular view of the city through the glass window. The cocktails are good and strong, sometimes one wonders if perhaps that is why the room revolves. Also in the Regency is the Window Box, a piano bar and Hugo s a gourmet res- taurant. ' On down the Regency is the _ world-famous Printer ' s Alley, which offers some strip joints as well as some classy es Heaven Lee is perhaps the attraction for the Black Poodle and she really puts on a show — well worth the $2 cover charge. But stay away from the drinks. ; Upstairs is the Cabaret room which of- fers the female impersonators who put on really a impressive show. It is a respect- able place, too. If lounges are your type of entertain- ment, the best one around is the Lane Lounge at the Rode way Inn at 1-40 and Briley Parkway. The Pride really puts on an ex- traordinary show and there is dancing and cocktails. Nashville abounds in good restaurants: The Jolly Ox has three locations and offers some really good steaks with a fairly de- cent salad bar as well as unusual atmosphere; The Smugglers Inn on Murfreesboro Road is in the style of a (continued ) Eurupcan discotheque and though fairly expensive, it is worth it. The Barn dinner theatre is perhaps one of the most unique entertainment spots in Nashville, and it is precisely what it is named — dinner and theatre — in fact, some of the best theatre around. Marios and Viscaya are other good restaurants but with prices to match. Of course, there is always Krystal, which surprisingly Murfreesboro does not have, a Burger King, a Shakey ' s and a new Wendy ' s Old Fashioned Hamburgers which are really fine. If none of this appeals to you — well, you can stay in Murfreesboro and watch television. 30 THURSDAY NIGHT ' GET-DOWN ' TIMES AT THE SUB ' S TENNESSEE ROOli A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A DORM DIRECTOR Knock, Knock. No joke this time. It ' s just the beginning of another day for residence hall director Merry Lynn Starling. Merry Lynn does not fit the stereotyped role of a dorm director. In fact, she doubles as a 22-year-old student. On some days, the job of a dorm director is more demanding. At seven in the morning — seven a.m.! — a girl will knock at my door asking for change for the dryers. At eight o ' clock, the housing office will call to inform me that a girl is checking out of her room, she explained. At eight-thirty, as I ' m still clad in pajamas, the maintenance men will come to fix a leaky sink in someone ' s room. I ' ll get dressed and run up to the room, she answers. Usually, the girls won ' t be up so they complain, she added. Afterwards, a parent will call wondering where their lost daughter has disappeared to. After convincing a parent that dorm directors don ' t check on residents daily, they threaten to call the president. The heck with everything — I simply leave for class, the director sighed. When Merry Lynn returns, three residents wait for a pass key, two request room maintenance repairs, the maid reports stopped-up sinks and the fire extinguisher man impatiently waits for a guide. During the afternoon. Dean Judy Smith calls inquiring about the absent hostess the previous night. I immediately set up a meeting with hostesses and express the importance of their job, Merry Lynn said At 11 p.m. my husband calls. The security guard won ' t believe that he lives in a women ' s dorm, she grinned. At 2 a.m., the energetic freshmen stage rollerskate races that sound like the Kentucky Derby. To top off the days events, an ob- scene phone call interrupts a peaceful slumber at 3 a.m. 34 Merry Lynn admitted that most days are somewhat less traumatic. In reality, all these events don t happen in one day — but some days come close. ' The best days are those when nobody gets locked out, all the dryers operate, the candy bars are fresh and everyone handles theirown problems. Some days, I wonder why I am here. But I enjoy my job and can relate to my residents because I experienced the same problems when I was single. Merry Lynn has special problems due to her age. People just don ' t believe Lm a dorm mother. At campus police, 1 requested a red parking sticker and they didn ' t be- lieve I was actually a dorm director. ' And . . . knock, knock . . . Ld better answer the door. 35 UNIQUE CLASSES DEFY ' HATE-TO-GO-TO CLASS ' SYNDROME classes are usually a source of great displeasure and heartache for the MTSU student. They are annoyances and the most irksome disrupters of sound sleep and plans for lazy afternoons. However, there are some courses offered that seem to defy the run of the mill I-hate-to-go-to-that-class syndrome. Surprisingly, a few academic offerings spur the student ' s imag- ination, creativity and enthusi- asm. Science Fiction and Fantasy, an upper division English depart- ment offering, is a relatively new course that has arrested the atten- tion of many MTSU sci-fi buffs. Works by such science fiction illu- minaries as Ray Bradbury and Rob- ert Heinlein draw students into the worlds of futuristic images and modds. For those students who would rather delve into the world of yes- terday, the Medieval Experience honors course has given students the opportunity to view the life- styles and philosophies of medie- val Europe. Students have trav- eled to monasteries and have prepared and hosted a medieval revel and banquet during the course of their studies. Students who have wanted to capture and freeze a special per- son, moment or feeling have turned to one of the photogra- phy courses offered by the mass communications department. Scores of camera buffs have com- pleted at least one course, tak- ing with them some knowledge of the art of good photography. Jewelry-making is another course popular with students who wish to acquire a creative skill. Student craftsmen, after long hours of painstaking work, have fashioned rings, bracelets and other jewelry pieces. Two courses included in the HFERS curriculum, Camping and Canoeing, have afforded the more atheletically-inclined students a chance to take part in exhilarating and physically-demanding classes. The safety, as well as the fun aspects of the sports have been emphasized in these offerings for the rugged individual. Interesting courses are not limited to full-time university students, as the office of continuing education provides various opportunities for persons to pursue areas of study not included in the regular university schedule. The continuing education office h as offered such self-improvement courses as conversational Spanish, a program for certified professional secretaries, and automotive awareness for women, a course designed to help women better cope with the four-wheeled mechanical monster. ffnt fntcKrn i Vcu tfuutt dkO rl up ■ DliFose Of PAiV M IT 5er5 Vii Y . 36 Courses dealing with practical approaches to parent education and the Montesso?i method of education have been popular offerings for those interested in the educational field and its impact on children and the family unit. Additional classes have included the study of woodworking, folk and bluegrass guitar and five-day instruction in snow skiing at Appalachia Ski Mountain in North Carolina. As several of the course titles indicate, not all learning must be done sitting in a hard wooden desk in a musty classroom. A majority of classes may b e viewed as drudger ' , encouraging to some students that there are a few bright spots in the world of formal education. 37 MARIJUANA: ON CAMPUS? Jy s ' , _, ■ from ihf Mf « I ' ' ■ - — -•- make ' s esper the - otfti NORML DEBATE Marijuana — it ' s a harmless toke for the individual who wishes to make his own private decisions, or is it an evil seducer of youth into the dark underworld of harder drugs? The issues revolving around the uses of marijuana have always elicited considerable response, mostly emo- tional. Everyone seems to have reems of statistics backing his position, whether it be pro or con. The question of marijuana ' s decriminalization was brought to life (again) in a lively debate sponsored by the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) in October in MTSU ' s Dramatic Arts Auditorium. Some 400 students and Murfreesboro citizens gathered to hear George DeHoff, local minister and publisher, and Lionel Barrett, Nashville attorney, speak, reason, rant and discuss the pros and cons of marijuana de- criminalization. Barrett, speaking in favor of decriminalization, said the government has no right to intervene in what a person does in the privacy of his own home. The government doesn ' t have the right to tell a citizen what to do in the privacy of his home when it does not adversely affect any person or society, Bar- rett said. Barrett further defended his stance by contending that there are no reliable statistics to prove that marijuana leads to harder drugs, that the money spent on enforce- ment could be better used and that many national or- ganizations (the American Medical Organization, the Na- tional Council of Churches and the National Education Association) have publicly supported marijuana decrimi- nalization. Speaking against the proposal, DeHoff said that mari- juana should not be decriminalized because it is a problem that society must effectively deal with. Marijuana is an evil and harmful drug and its use is a legal, medical, religious and social problem, the Murfreesboro minister said. .Arguments cited by DeHoff were that medical evidence points to marijuana ' s harmful effects, that every civilized nation in the world has laws governing its use and that marijuana is addictive and leads to the use of harder druf« 40 After preliminary arguments were presented, the two debaters engaged in rebuttals. Both participants reiterated the remarks made during their presentations. During the course of the presentations, the audience members, by clapping, booing, cheering and other vocal responses, made their opinions known. Most of the audience participation occurred during DeHoff s rebuttal. Many of DeHoff ' s remarks were punc- tuated with laughter and jeering from some of the audi- ence members. At one point, DeHoff announced that he was not going to be interrupted by a bunch of pot-smoking, pill-popping, beer-guzzling students. The house practically came down with that remark. Members supporting DeHoff clapped and Amened! while those pot-smoking, pill-popping, beer-guzzling students jeered and booed. During a question and answer session that followed Barrett ' s and DeHoff ' s rebuttals, several members di- rected questions to the debate participants. Paul Keckley, director of university public relations, protested one of DeHoff ' s earlier remarks and came to the lowly student ' s defense. I am disturbed that people here tonight were called beer-guzzling, pot-smoking, pill-popping students, Keck- ley said. DeHoff than denied that he had directed the remark to the entire audience, but only to those few who it specifically referred to. At the debate ' s conclusion, most of the townspeople chose to leave during a short speech given bv John Shenk director of the state chapter of NORML. The evening of entertainment was closed with a showing of ' Reefer Madness, a 1937 anti-marijuana film. It is highly doubtful that anyone ' s mind was changed about the marijuana issue at the debate. The presentation became too clouded w ith emotional ravings, not clear and intelligent arguments. However, as a circus, it was clearly a success ||| 41 LEARNING RESOURCES CENTER Students and faculty members find the new Learning Resources Center full of valuable educational aids rang- ing from microfilm to a room that can simulate rain and wind. The Personalized Learning Lab houses audio as well as visual facili- ties, a flight simulator, group interac- tion rooms, copy machines, computer terminals, a test scoring machine for faculty and special equipment for blind or partially-sighted students. The Media Service stores the tapes, films, videocassettes and other learning media for further use by MTSU or the three other institutions participating in and exchange program, while the Equipment Distribution and Repair Service center keeps the equipment in working order. It also loans equipment to faculty to enhance classroom pre- sentations and will give instruction in its use. The Instructional Design Center and Telecommunications Department each serve the students by aiding teachers in creating or revising courses. In the design center, assistance can be provided for planning, scripting production, presentation and evalua- tion of teaching materials. The Telecommunications Depart- ment could then videotape any neces- sary programs, adding special graphic techniques to further hold student in- terest. Another operation of the de- partment is the cable TV system in many of the NCB classrooms. Any material other than video- tapes, films, cassettes and the like could be produced by the Materials Development Center of Photography Services. In many instances, charts, graphs, diagrams, artwork, overhead J transparencies and photographic services expand the four walls of a classroom and bring about more vivid illustra- tions. One of the biggest attractions to the LRC is the Environ- mental Simulation Laboratory. In it, temperature, humidity, air flow, lighting and odor are combined with 360 degree film projections to simulate different environments. This un- usual classroom opens up not only the four classroom walls but the student ' s awareness of lifestyles in different geo- graphic areas. Another LRC attraction is the Multi-Media Classroom with its revolving stage. Seating 390 students, the classroom tries to minimize large group disadvantages. One way is by providing a method of immediate response and feedback to students by the ' use of a series of f|ve buttons at each seat. A connection with the university computer gives an immediate analysis of the responses and can tell the teacher if his students are understanding him. The revolving stage allows presentations to be set up in advance in preparation for other classes. It also serves as a screen for tapes, television, films, and slide projections. Of other interest to students would be the sminar room for small discussion groups of faculty and students, the Photo Gallery displays and the easy access to WMOT, the campus radio station. ST. JUDE ' S WEEK Sigma Nu fraternity sponsored St. Jude ' s Week October 27 — November 1, a series of events in which campus organizations could pitch in to help a a worthy cause. In a drive that netted nearly $6,000 for the famous children ' s research hos- pital of Memphis, the fraternity planned a week of several interesting competi- tions and events. Opening the week, university stu- dents and administrators sat in a dunk- ing machine in front of the grill and allowed antagonists to throw three balls at them for a quarter. Among those in the machine were Public Relations Di- rector Paul Keckley, Assistant Dean of Students Ivan Shewmake, ASB President Ted Hel- berg, fall Sidelines Editor Bill Mason, and each of the fraternity presidents. Other events included a hole-in-one contest, a bas- ketball-shooting contest, a 24-hour football game, and a bike-a-thon. 44 _ - r — ' 1 • . . . .1l 1 . w In a special football game, Alpha Tau Omega fra- ternity bid more money then any other organization and won the right to take on a team from WMAK radio. The ATO ' s won 19-18 after a tough contest. Delta Tau Delta bid the second highest amount and won the right to play Sigma Nu in a consolation game. Halloween provided another opportunity for fund- raising for the hospital. Many students volunteered to participate in a trick-or-treat escort service. In door-to-door soliciting, ATO brought in more money than any other organization. The finale was the mass walk-a-thon on Saturday which raised the bulk of the funds. Sigma Alpha Epsilon brought in the most walk-a-thon money by far, winning the grand trophy for the fra- ternity. Sidelines won a special award for exceptional service to the drive. All in all, the week was a very productive one for a verv worthv cause. 45 46 EATING ON CAMPUS 47 SUITCASE COLLEGE Welcome to MTSU, home of the world ' s fastest student body — fast at get- ting out of town, that is. Why, the instructors have barely shut their books on the last Friday class when the great weekend migration begins, with almost all students beginning their treks back home. What is it about this school, with one of the most beautiful campuses in the southeast, that makes students abandon it on weekends like it was a leper colony? Many students, over half to be exact, live in Rutherford and Davidson counties, which would naturally account for much of the going home. After all, the entire mid-state area is just a short interstate drive away. But what about the 3,000 or more students who live on campus and don t have homes so close to the campus? They too can be seen streaming out the exits on Fridays like their counterparts. Well, let ' s face it. MTSU has the reputation of being a suitcase college. It has been rumored that the president of the American Tourister company is one of the founding fathers of the school. That seems unlikely, though. Murfreesboro is the geographical center of Tennessee, but that doesn ' t make it the entertainment capital of the universe. In fact, it ' s just the opposite, unless you like to watch it rain all the time. About the only people who derive satisfaction from weekends here are the fraternity and sorority people, but they usually abandon the campus for the houses for Nashville when things really get desparate. There are several solutions to the problem, but the administration seems willing to let this situation continue. Maybe they like the peace and quiet caused by the lack of screaming students on campus during the two-day breaks. That in itself should be a good reason to stay around, just to bug the administration. A war on suitcases is in order. Weekend activities built around an athletic contest or a concert could be publicized. Bring the circus to campus, or a rock concert, maybe. But something needs to be done. Or maybe we should ask the legislature to change the name of the school to Samsonite State University. We can call our athletic teams the suitcases. Anyway, a few students are talking about starting a new business off campus. Anybody want to open a suitcase store? Ill 48 On a l)leak and cold day at Middle Tennessee State Univer- sit , Ebeneezer Students sits in a gloomy corner of the library, scratching awa at his English term paper. Enter M.G. Cratchitt, who cheerfulU says, Good morning, Mr. Students, fine day isn t it? Bah, Humbug, what s so fine about it? Well, isn t tomorrow the da we celebrate MTSU spirit? Can t you feel that burning desire in ()ur heart to shout and scream, sir? The onl burning desire I feel is from the heartburn and stomach acid I got from the Grill. It s a bad scene, you-er-dig? I, uh, eat off-campus, sir. Bah. Gee willikers. Mr. Students, said Cratchett, staring at his shoes, I was hoping that I could con — , er, ask ou if I could have tomorrow off, so I can celebrate MTSU spirit with my family and Tin Raiders. Tiny Raiders? Who in the Humbug is that? That s my scra n , sickK kid, sir. He still likes to celebrate events like this? You mean he still buys that sh . . ? Well, yes he does, sir. He s one of the last few who actualK believe that such a thing as a Spirit of InNoKciiient exists anymore at Middle Tennessee. Involvement. MTSU spirit. Bah, muttered Students, pull- ing his tattered Army jacket tighter around himself. If I could work my will, ever idiot that ran across the campus shouting Go, Blue Raiders! should be drowned in his own Coca-Cola and buried with an ornamental sabre through his heart. Okay, clown, since its only once a year, go ahead and take the da off tomorrow, but be here before eight o clock the next day. Bless you, sir. Humbug, With that, Ebeneezer gathered up his books and slumped out the door back to his dorm. . s he looked up at the number above the door, he thought he could see the face of his old friend and one-time partner, Jacob Concern. Once, Students and Concern w ere inseparable. Old Jacob Concern, mused Students. Why Humbug, he s graduated. Concern is gone forever. He flopped down at his desk and w ent to sleep. Ebeneezer Students was awakened by the sound of chains coming down the hall. Oh. no, he groaned, Is Vince Vance and the Valiants back in town again? He sat up with a start as the figure of Jacob Concern glided in through the closed door. It figures, he grumbled, Just who the Dickens are you, as if I need ask? In life, I was your big budcK, Jacob (Concern. I know. It s what ou are now that realK freaks me out. You could be nothing but my reaction to that greasy hambur- ger I ate for lunch. You ma just be an undigested bit of saw- dust ... At this, the ghost shrieked horribh. Ah, um, but then again, you might not be, heh-heh. No offense old boy. By the way, what are you doing back here ' : Im here to try and save your worthless mind, ou apa- thetic schmuck. AN APATHY CAROL (With Apologies to Chuck Dickens) You always were a far-out dude, Jake. You will be visited by three spirits who will show ou the past, present and future of Middle Tennessee. Expect the first one when the bell rings for first classes. With that, the phan- tom vanished into thin air. Undoubtedly, all this thin air is getting to me, muttered Students as he fell asleep again. When the bell rang. Students awoke to find himself in Woodmore Cafeteria. Ever one w as clearing out on their way to their 8 o clock classes. Students looked up and saw a strange apparition standing at his elbow. In form and figure, it was not unlike a freshman, his short and skinny frame being covered with a sort of tunic of the purest white, and his long white hair hanging down nearly to his waist with several rubber bands and a no-no protruding from a hip pocket. He gave off a brilliant light from within, as if he had SN alloN ed a lit candle at a verN earb age. NoNv, Frat rush Nvas a couple of Nveeks ago. Students said under his breath, so this can t be a put-on. Listen Jack, if Nou aren t the Ghost of Middle Tennessee Past, then Id appre- ciated Nou not making any sudden moves. Come, touch mN ' robe. Now, NNait just a minutel You ve got the NNrong guN. I m reallv not that type ... I am the Ghost of Middle Tennessee Past, dummy, and I m not getting paid by the hour so let s begin shall we? With a N ave of his hand, the spirit transported them to the third floor of the UC Nvhere an ASB meeting Nvas in progress. But it was one that had taken place several long years before. Do you recognize any of these people, Ebeneezer? Do I ever! That guy Nvith the glasses over there . that s Wayne Hudgens. Students chuckled to himself as the memo- ries came rolling back in. Har, har, yessiree, old Hudg had a mouth as big as a barn door. He d argue with anybody about auN thing. I remember him debating Nvith a Nvall once. And — over there is little Billy Mason and Bennie Barrett, rhey were the first guys to ever enter beauty contests. They Nvere almost as popular as the pig. Hey, look! They re reading Sidelines. Boy, that Nvas one heckuva newspaper before it finally folded. They used to run socko editorials about the Board of Regents and student government, and stuff about apathy and hoNv it was going to ruin everything. I guess they were right, but it didn ' t seem to matter at the time. Students looked doNNn and saN that the Clhost had been staring at him all the time. Your lip is trembling. . nd nnIuiI is that upon Nour cheek, a tear? Students muttered that it Nvas a pimple, Nvith an unusual catching in his throat, and asked, Where are n e headed, spirit? Well, I thought NNe d go over and NNatch Ken TrickcN run the basketball team through drills, or . . Over your dead body, fella! What! exclaimed the Ghost, Would ou so soon put out with nicotined hands the light I give? 50 Voii bet your bubblegum, shorty. Students said with an evil grin. If this is the past, before everxbodv stopped car- ing whether or not everything got torn up, then the fire ex- tinguishers ought to be working. So sa ing, he snatched one up and liberally douced the spirit, drowning out his light. Everything v as dark The bell rang, and Students woke up in the Home Ec kitchen, as the others were going on to their nine o clock classes. Before him, seated on a throne of fruits, vegetables, poultry, fish, beef and TV dinners was the second of the spirits. He was a giant in size, but he smiled benevolently at Students from his jolly green visage. He beckoned to Students with one huge hand. ( mon, Ebeneezer, e 11 have to haul it. 1 time on this earth is ver ' short. Why is that. Spirit ■: ' When Mrs. Arthur sees the mess I ve made of her refrige- rator, she s gonna skin me alive. He waved his hand, and the materialized in front of a glass-walled room Students had never seen before. Where are we. Spirit? The Administration Building Don t ()u recognize these people? Sure enough, huddled around a desk inside was M.G. Cratchitt and his family of twelve, diving a Pablo s sandwich and a pickle between them. Students noticed that they were all smiling, particularly an e. peciall ' undernourished lad on a stool to one side. That must be Tin Raiders. Tell mc. Spirit, what can ou see in store for him? Unless somebody starts giving a damn about him, I see a tiny stool with no owner. He needs to be cared about, Ebe- neezer, or the boy will surely die. Hmm Poor kid. Students said, looking long and hard at the child, laughing and joking, oblivious to his fate. Sud- denl ' , the scene fades into a blank wall (in need of a paint job at that). . s the clock struck 10, Ebeneezer felt the touch of a skeletal hand on his shoulder, and turned around to confront not the Ghost of Middle Tennesee Present as he had e.xpected, but the last of the spirits, the Ghost of Middle Tennessee Yet to Come. Oh, are ou the last of the phantoms? The cloaked and hooded figure nodded. You re going to show me the stuff that ma happen, if nothing changes? It nodded again. Very well, show me the scenes. The Ghost took Students on a nightmare tour of the school. Through bathrooms with no ceilings, equipped with television mon iters and marijuana de- tectors, past the ruined LRC, broken w indows and trash knee- deep everywhere. They stepped out into the back parking lot, and an unbe- lievable panorama spreads before Students. Here, a vandalized car, there some coils of barbed wire, over there a dead cow (he stares in udder disbelief) and weed everywhere. The spirit leads him past the eight foot high speed breakers (crumbling with abuse), a lonely grave on the 50- ard line of what once the football field before football became unpopu- lar. Ebeneezer was trembling as he knelt before the grave. The Ghost pointed at him, and then at the tombstone. I don t want to read it. Spirit. It pointed again. It it sa s. Here lies Ebeneezer Students, he didn t care nothin ' about him. Neglected to death ' . . Oh, Spirit, is there no wa I can prevent this from happening? Is there no wa I can avert this end? Hear me! I am not the name I wasi I will honor Spirit in my heart, and try to keep it all the vear. Oh, tell me that I may sponge away the writing on the stone! He made a grab for the Ghost, who dodged him and en- veloped him into darkness ... Students found himself unexpectedU walking through the NCB mall. He turned to the gu next to him and asked: He , man, what time is it ' : The hardy fellow, replied. It ' s 11 am. Where ' ve ()u been ' : If ou ve got an more . But Students ignored the remark. Aha, still in time for lunch! Tell me, have you got a car? Here, said Students, cram ming a $20 bill into his hand. Go to Pablo s and pick up a dozen roast beefs with cheese. Bring ' em to M.G. Cratchitt and his famiK, and keep the change. Go, Blue Raiders! Students shouted, dancing through the mall. . nd the moral of this stor is . cr, uni . well, we don t ha e to tell (iu if we don t want to. 51 M.G. SCARLETT President THE TOTEM POLE GOVERNOR BLANTON BOARD OF REGENTS PRESIDENT SCARLETT Jack Carlton (Academic Affairs) Robert Lalance (Student Affairs) Morris Bass (Business Finance) Lynn Haston (Administration) 53 DOC SCARLETT To the world at large. Doc Scarlett is a strange, mysterious figure of fading bronze skin and hazy eyes. To his amazing co-adventurers — the five greatest administrators ever assembled in one group — he is a president of superhuman strength and protean genius, whose life is dedicated to the instruction of school-goers. To his fans, er, fan, he is one of the greatest teaching heroes of all time, whose fantastic exploits are unequaled for hair-raising thrills, breathtaking escapes and bloodcurdling excitement. To sa that 1975 was a harrowing year for Doc Scarlett would he an understatement at the ver least. Since his retirement in 1968 (retirement from combatting the forces of evil under the alleged alias of Doc Savage, that is), Doc Scarlett has been working at the helm of Middle Tennessee State Universit . Working alongside Doc since he took the MTSU post were his amazing allies in adventure — Jonathan Hood, the bespectacled assistant who was the world s greatest expert on assisting and banking. Vice President for Academic . ffairs Jack C ' arlton, Cap, his favorite sport was pounding academics into the student ' s head. Vice president for Student Affairs Robert La Lance, Robb , his brutish exterior concealed the mind of a great server of students. Vice President of Administration L nn Haston, ' Lenn , was the plnsical weakling of the crowd, but a genius at administration. Vice President for Business and Finance Morris Bass, Mo, once slender and waspy, he was never witiiout the ominous black sword cane which is now used for support. WITH THEIR LEADER, THEY WOULD GO ANYWHERE, FIGHT ANYONE, DARE EVERYTHING — SEEKING EXCITEMENT AND PERILOUS ADVENTURE! Back to the matter at hand, said the former Man of Bronze (now affectionately referred to as the Man of Metal for the silver in his eyebrows, the gold in his teeth and the lead in his posterior). Our most formidable adversary has once again made its way to the forefront. Doc briefed his aides. You mean — , gasped Robby, flinging away the briefs. Indubitably, said the big- worded Johnn , our chief means that our old nemisis has, shall we sa , risen from the grave and reared its ugl head. ' Yes, Doc muttered solemnK. .And then the heard the sound the had heard countless times before but had never gotten quite used to. It was that indescribable humming that Doc made whenever he was thinking. Hmmmm. Er, Doc, Cap interrupted. How can that be ' ? Well, Doc replied, I first noticed the signs around the fall of 1973. The were all there. I should have realized what was happening. It was one of the few times in his long career that Doc had erred. All of a sudden, Mo, who had been busy twiddling his thumbs, struggled to his feet and w heezed, M God, — er. Doc! They had all vowed to never repeat his first name. You mean it s our oldest and toughest foe ' P ' Yes, almost as old as you. Doc replied. It s S.I. D. E.L.I. N.E.S. They all gasped. SIDELINES, that insidious organization who for decades had tried to live up to its evil nanu Stop Instruction- Dealing Educators, Leaving Idiots who Never Educate Students. The very mention ot that infamous group made the gaunt Lenny shudder. Lenny was the phvsical weakling of the six, and his shaking made the others laugh. But only for a moment, for Mo jumped in on Lenny s side. Watch your tongue, you hairy hooligan. Mo sneered at the brutish Robby, or III cut it out. That rustic thing couldn t cut butter, Robby growled. III ram that thing right up our — Cut it out, Doc said. ' We ve got work to do. That ' s what I intended to do, Robby grinned. Mo scow led. 54 As Doc reached for the portfolio on his desk — the meeting was being held at Doc ' s Fortress of Solitude, also known as Cope Administration Building — the big-worded Johnny said, Obviously, we ' ve got to catch the perpetrators of this nefarious plot before they do an real damage. ■ The damage has alread begun, Doc replied. The bronze man then recounted to his men the strange and mysterious things that had happened in the recent past. Streaking, the Bill Peck saga and se. descrimination in sociology were but a few of the tales Doc remind- ed them of. Old foes mentioned were L. Harrington, W. Hudgens, G, Jeter- Barhani, M. Gigandet, P. est and B. Mason and R. Edmondson in particular. The most recent points in case are the Marshalls (Gunselman ) woes and the calls for student rights by the Associated Student Body, Doc added. Just let em breathe, and next the re wanting porno and liquor on campus. Cant the see we re protecting them for their own good : ' ■Jumpin ' blue blazes, Cap said. Your super-duper hypno ra must ' ve worn off I gathered as much, ' Doc said sadly, one of the rare times he displa ed emotion Im going to have to perfect my device. So saying, Doc picked up his equipment and lumbered off to his private chambers, leaving his co- adventurers not knowing quite what to do. Johnny practiced at his wordiness while Mo went back to twiddling his thumbs. Lenn doodled while Cap and Robb pla ed tic-tac-toe. -Vnd then in December 75 it happened. SIDELINES announced that it would work for Doc and not against him. The onl casualty of the entire affair was the departure of Johnn , who was spirited awa b a faction known only as MB T. But thats another story. I just hope the super-duper hypno ray doesn ' t wear off after the spring semester, Doc muttered as he headed for Murph Center. 55 MORRIS F. BASS Vice President for Business and Finance ROBERT C. LALANCE Vice President for Student Affair 1975: INTERNATIONAL WOMEN ' SYEAR Women s liberation — it connotes different meanings to different people, but one tfiing is for certain, it has changed the way people perceive women s roles today. An end of the year Harris Poll records that 63 per cent to 25 per cent margin of men and women ap- prove of the efforts to change and strengthen women s status, compared to 42 per cent five years ago. Even though people are now willing to accept women as equals, the re is still inequality in many areas. Women constitute 40 per cent of the nation s work force, according to the Tennessean but more than 40 per cent of all emploved women are still shackled to the clerical and secretarial receptionist positions and are still struggling along on consummerate salaries. But women are slowly and surely gaining the etjuality which they are fighting for in all areas of society. Women are becoming more involved in traditional men s roles such as law and medicine as well as reli- gion and politics. There are 18 women in the 94th congress, one woman governor and three lieutenant governors, seven mayors as well as many women in state legislative positions. A recent Gallup poll shows that fully 73 per cent of the American public would support a qualified woman for President. Also included in the consciousness-raising effort is the awareness that women are also becoming more involved in crime — within seventeen days of each other, two apparent assassination attempts were made against President Ford — both by women. The trial of Joan Little brought to focus that women, both black and white, are almost defenseless against law enforcement officials. 60L W TO amcAL 4W 7 FEUJ P eSSlVE UiJOME! fELi A aJeed For cm JCE jajD 58 But things still aren ' t the u a feminists would like them to be. The Ecjual Rights Amendment has been called an attempt to undermine motherhood and Mom s apple pie, as well as a communist attempt to destroy the very foundations of democracy. But the bill, needing .38 states to ratify it to become a part of the constitution received onl 34 voites. Alice Doesn ' t Day, an attempt by feminists to have women hold out all da long on everything, did not draw the response needed to make it very effective. In fact, many clever, cutesN chauvani ' sts dedded to capitalize on the day and call it Alice Does among other things, some unprintable. The International Women ' s Year Conference in Mexico City put the women in a bad light as bitter petty fighting went on over trivial issues. American feminists felt the conference did not focus on the important things. But things are getting better. Sardi ' s, a traditionalK male-employed restaurant, hired their first waitress. As the old cliche goes, though, one small step for womankind, one giant step for humanit . HAfiLY Wour [MMs lOFiKJD IT.

We are celebrating 200 years as a nation, a nation which provides freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of the press, the right of as- sembly and petition, equal protection of the law and due process We are celebrating 200 years of struggle and strife in which the country was finally united We are celebrating the ideas of government con- structed by such notable men as Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and Patrick Henry — ideas that have proven to be the most civil to the welfare of most citizens. Landofuncoln 92 1976 , n .. • ' _ fl|H| EEsa IT J y ♦ ■ We arc celebrating 200 ' ears of democracv and a go ernmenf that represents the people. But the true meaning of the bicentennial and our founding fathers is buried beneath the gross misuse of the traditional American symbols and colors. Merchants and advertisers have dedicated them- selves to making this a bus centennial ear The American people are being continually plastered with red, red. white and blue matches, clothing, furniture, household items and even fire hydrants. The eagle and the liberty bell have adorned such objects as coffee jars, calendars, ties and ash tra s. Because of the exposure, sadly enough. man Americans are already tired of the bicentennial Their frustrations mount when they see a bicenten- nial minute brought to you by a national oil com- pany. If the founding fathers could only see how the bicentennial celebration is being handled, they would wonder what happened to the real . merica. Its time to remember the genuine meaning of the bicentennial instead of allowing our nation ' s birthday to become simply an e.xpanded selling season for merchants. We must remember the principles of this nation and be thankful for « hat America has meant to millions of free citizens.

Some of the optimism was keyed however, when the Big Blue took a 21-14 thump- ing at the hands of new arch-rival Tennessee State. Tied at 14 apiece at the half, the Tigers eventually marched 95 yards for the game-winning touchdown. Earlier in the second half, though, the new head coach had decided that his Raiders would try for a touchdown on a fourth-and-goal situation from the five in- stead of taking a near-sure field goal that would have produced a 17-14 margin for the Blue. A new-found hope was seen for MTSU in the play of the offense as Mike Moore carried the ball for 90 yards and quarterback Mike Robinson completed seven of 18 passes for 1 15 yards. Agressiveness was the word against the Tigers, and fans who had witnessed the game were aware of the obvious changes in the team. There were no attitude problems, everybody was fired up despite the loss, and the team was looking forward to the 1976 game with TSU. Game two of the new campaign was against tiny Carson-Newman from Jefferson City, and no one associated with MTSU program expected too much trouble from the Eagles. Midway through the game, however, MTSU, stumbled into the dressing room, shocked by the figures on the scoreboard. It read Home-0 — Visitors-21. (continued) 116 117 ' ' ■H Jk 118 ' Miracle ' Occurs; Blue Sparks Up to Warm Numb Fans in Trademark Last Minute Rally Indeed the fans were the same way. Unable to figure out what had happened since the week before, Blue Raider supporters had just watched Carson-Newman rack up 316 first-half yards behind the powerful running of Leon Brown and Andrew Pittman. The third quarter opened much the way the first two had been pla ed, but there was a marked, although barely noticeable, change. Something had happened. The defense was making harder tackles, the offense was executing blocks better, and the offensive backfield was running with authority. As all of these different aspects of the game came into focus, fans came out of their numbness, and began to scream for some kind of offensive display. With the support of fans behind them, the Blue Raiders culminated in a most amazing comeback in the last 1 1 minutes of the game. Bobby Joe Easter opened the MTSU attack with a four-yard touchdown run which was set up by a 61-yard Mike More sprint at the 10:12 mark. A little under five minutes later, Moore ended a 77-yard drive with a 21-yard jaunt to pull the Raiders within 21-14. Following the kick-off, the Blue defense stifled the Eagle attack, and limited them to one yard. After regaining possession of the ball, Mike Robinson directed a touch- down drive highlighted b two third down completions and climaxed by Easter s three-yard touchdown trot. With the score 20-21, Hurt was faced with his second crucial game —deciding call in as many games. This time, though, there wasn ' t any other choice — it was either win or lose. 119 120 H Blue Nips Racers in a Hard Fought Battle, Then Faces Mocs to Try for Upset Going for the two-pointer, vvhieh still makes college ball more exciting than the pros, Robinson drifted back and whipped the ball into the hands of Moore, ending a thriller which would excite the heart of any football widow. In their Ohio Valley Conference opener against Morehead State, the Blue Raiders nipped the Racers 12-10. But once again the battle was strong, hard fought and nearly lost. With the thoroughbreds out front by a score of 10-0, Easter capped a 73-yard drive, which was set up by a 16-yard burst up the middle. Down 10-6, the defense once again answered the call to dut by shutting off the Morehead attack and forcing them to give the ball back to the Blue. Mike Robinson then put MTSU ahead at the 5:52 mark when he scampered the final 11 yards of a 62-yard drive, producing the final margin of 12-10. But wait. This epic isn ' t finished, for the clock still said 5:52 to go into the game. Morehead received the kickoff and promptly marched downfield to inch within field goal range in the waning seconds. The three-pointer was off target, however, and the Raiders had w ithstood the last-ditch attempt by Morehead to win the game. Traveling to Chattanooga to face a team that owned a 0-2-1 record might seem like an excellent proposition to some, but one is quick to change his mind when he finds out that his scheduled opponent is the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. Since the Raiders had no choice, however, the only alternative was to go in hopes of an upset, (continued) 121 UTCDid Not ' Waltz ' Away to Victory; but Had to Fight Determined Raiders At the home of the Mocs, though, there was to be no upset that evening at UTC racked up a 27-10 win over the Raiders. The game wasn ' t as close as the score indicated, however. Behind the record-breaking rushing of Darnell Powell, the Mocs jumped out in front 17-3 at the half, with Darnell scoring both first-half TDs. Michael Robinson booted a 45-yard field goal as time elapsed for the only Raider points. MTSU opened the second half with a 66-yard drive that culminated when Ed Skin- ner pulled in a Mike Robinson pass and sped across the goal line untouched. That pulled the Raiders within seven at 17-10, but the Mocs came right back with a 45-yard field goal near the end of the third quarter stretching the score to 20-10. The final margin came when Powell crashed a cross the goal line with 3:48 to play in the game. OVC action picked back up the following week, and although Eastern Kentucky came into the game nationally ranked, they left with the knowledge that they had to fight for the win and had not waltzed away with victory. Everyone at Horace Jones field that mid-October eve knew that they were in for a display of offenses when Bobby Joe Easter scampered 66 yards on the second play from scrimmage and Mike Moore scored seconds later from 12 yards out. Eastern turned right around and marched almost the length of the field and scored on Hal Emerson ' s two-yard drive. Their drive was highlighted when Emerson broke away from Blue tackles and raced 58 yards before being tackled from behind by Johnny Carver, who in the process, broke his right foot and was lost for the rest of the season. 122 123 Eastern and MTSU Trade for the Lead; but Eastern Adds up Final Tally Leads were traded back and forth in the game with MTSU pulling to within seven with 11:23 to play in the game, after Leigh Kolka recovered a fumbled punt on the Eastern 14-yard line, Anthony Williams put the final MTSU points on the boar d with his 14-yard reception. The Raiders were unable to mount another drive in the game, and EKU s Earl Cody accounted for the final 34-24 margin when he kicked a 35-yard field goal in the final 50 seconds of the eame. For Homecoming, Murray State provided the opposition, and MTSU picked up a 17-5 victory in what was to be the first of three Homecoming games. Although the Raiders gave up 420 yards, they only allowed the Racers offense three points. The Murray placekickers missed four out of five first-half field goal attempts before finally giving up on field goals for the day. Mike Moore produced the only first half Raider points when he scored on a nine-yard scamper late in the first quarter. MTSU jumped ahead on a 27-yard field goal by Michael Robinson, but the game was almost tied up when a Murray lineman batted a Mike Robinson pitchout into the endzone. Alert Robinson hustled back to the ball and covered it for a safety to make the score 10-5. MTSU added on final tally when Ronnie Cecil picked off a Murray pass and scapmered 24 yards across the goal line For his effort, Cecil was named the OVC ' s defensive Player of the Week, (continued) r 124 125 m ' ' 1 126 Blue on Wrong End of the y Stick; for APSU Govs Provide Rout, but Tame WCU With the way MTSU had manhandled Eastern and Murray, Blue Raider fans who traveled to Clarksville expected to see a rout. They did. The only problem was, MTSU was on the wrong end of the stick, and a team that previously had owned a 0-3 conference record had upset the Raiders (2-1 in the OVC) 17-13. Well, upset isn ' t exactly the word. Better describing the action would be word dominate. Mike Moore (once again) was the only man in Blue who had an exceptional day, gaining 164 yards in 23 carries. Moore scored the first seven points of the game, but Austin Peay answered with 17 points on a TD run and a TD pass by Gov quarterback Randy Christophel, a walk-on, nonscholarship player who had earned the starting assignment. Rick Steadman scored the only other MTSU tally on a one-yard burst. A two- point conversion attempt failed on a pass complete out of bounds. Non-conference foe Western Carolina was next on the agenda, and the Raiders tamed the Catamounts 44-28 behind the record-breaking performance of Mike Moore. Moore ' s 212 yard total broke the old mark of 200 in a single game, set by Dwaine Copeland last year against Ball State. Other outstanding Blue performers who had a better-than-average day were Bobby Joe Easter, 177 yards on 17 at- tempts; Mike Robinson, nine of 15 yards; and Anthony Williams, five catches for 55 yards. WCU opened the scoring with a nine-yard drive which came to the heels of the second Raider fumble. MTSU came back, however, to even the score at (continued) 127 Blue Even at 4-4; but When Hilltoppers Invade, Raiders Never Win Again 14 apiece before departing to the dressing room to plan second-half strategy. With the third quarter remaining fairly even, MTSU exploded for 23 points in the final stanza of action on touchdown jaunts of 4, 72 and 30 yards by Dukes, Easter and Moore, respectively. The win evened the MTSU worksheet at 4-4, and was unbeknownst at the time, the final Raider win of the season. Western Kentucky came into town like a hurricane and played the same way — all of which led to a 24-10 decision, favor of the Hilltoppers. The biggest loss of all came when it was announced the next day that Bobby Joe Easter had broken his collarbone in the game. Western jumped out to an early 17-0 lead before MTSU could get any points on the board. Actually, Western had to that for the Raiders as a bad snap on a punt gave MTSU a safety. MTSU put the final points on the board when Ed Skinner grabbed a Mike Robinson pass for six, and Leigh Kolka took a two-point conversion. Hopes for a .500 or better season faded the following week at East Tennessee, as the Buccaneers powered their way to a 37-20 decision. Mike Moore setting a new school season rushing record was the only bright spot in the game. Moore surpassed the old record of 1,053 set by Bobby Young in 1953, by gaining 194 on 26 carries. Moore wasn ' t the only one setting school records, however, as ETSU s George Fugate set a new school record with 220 yards in 23 attempts and three TDs.

Never really in the game at all, MTSU allowed the Golden Eagles 308 yards while managing only 64.

Murray State grabbed the title for the second straight year in a three-game series against the Colonels of Eastern Kentucky. After opening the season with a 10-game stand in Louisiana, where the diamond Raiders finished 4-6, MTSU tripped Athens College 5-2 in the home opener behind the hitting of Wally Mathis and Chuck Smith, Gerry Melson picked up the win. But the trip to Bayou country proved to be an expensive one as the Raiders lost the services of two players. Rod Amburn, a junior catcher, who was off to a torrid start, was tagged with a broken hand. Outfield- er Johnny Murray broke his nose attempting to demolish a double play. Both were lost for the season. As they would for the entire season, the Raiders relied on pitching and defense for back-to-baok wins over Olivet College and Wisconsin-Superior by scores of 5-3 and 2-1.

At no time in the history of sports has such a furor been made over a sport that drew so few people. The subject? Women s athletics, of course. If you can understand the rigamarole above, please understand that it is not a dig at women s athletics. Simply a statement of fact. More like a sign of the times. The world of athletics is no longer dominated by men. Not really. The Lad- ies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) and the women s pro track and tennis circuits have large followings in their own rights. And so it is with MTSU. The women s athletic budget has been increased from a little over $2000 in 1973 to over $15,000 for this year. Pat Jones was named to head the women s program at MTSU and was named women ' s athletic director and head basketball coach. The department has four sports — basketball, volleyball, tennis and gymnastics. All of these sports have been increased to varsity status, and scholarships have been made avail- able in all of these sports. And herein lie two main criticisms of the sports. How come, many people are asking, sports like women s tennis and volleyball have been given schol- arships while wrestling has received none? Zilch. Zero. How come, many people are asking, women s gymnastics has attained a varsity status while the men s gymnastics team and the soccer team (or club, depending on whom you are talking to ) have not reached this level of competition? And so, these are the pros and cons of the sport. My own personal opinion is sich that while the ladies should certainly be given recognition and all the things due them, they could not be given priority over already established sports. Wrestling should not be cast aside in the name of quality. Many people will call me chauvinist, but I call it fairness. The women ' s tennis team managed only a 2-3 record last spring, but ended the season in such a fury that only better things can lie in the future. Identical losses to Tennessee Tech and UT-Chattanooga by 4-5 margins seemed to spell doom for the Lady Netters in the early goings. And a 9-0 shutout at the hands of Murray State certainly didn t help matters any. But then things began looking up for the Blue. MTSU took a narrow 5-4 win over tiny Sewanee, and the season ended on a bright note — a 9-0 trounc- ing of Peabody College. The Lady Netters are definitely on the upswing, and they have a potential to whip almost anybody this spring. With the nucleus of a strong volleyball team that boasted over 20 wins the previous season, the Raiderettes slumped to a 15-26 record this season, in- cluding a nine-match losing streak at one point. The Raiderettes dropped their first two matches to UT-Chattanooga and UT-Martin but rebounded to sweep a pair of matches from Trevecca-Nazarene. (continued ) 146 147 For many years, women ' s basketball at MTSU was little more than a joke. But with the advent of coach Pat Jones, one of the top women s coaches in the state for many years, respectability has been restored to the Raiderettes. Jones had 20 scholarships to work with, and with those, she signed 20 blue chippers. In the span of one season, the women s basketball team moved from nothing to superiority. Most of the players signed were All-Midstate, All-Region, All-City or some other title. They included Stephanie Johnson, Diane Spivey, Jan Zitney, Betty Hardcastle, Sherry Coker and Kay Green. In their first game of the year, against Murray State, the Raiderettes unleashed a powerful run-and-gun offense that, once it jells, will have the potential to keep pace with that of the Tennessee Tech Golden Eaglettes.one of the top ten women s teams in the nation. The women s gymnastics program has picked up a full-time coach, Linda Patterson, some more quality gymnasts, some scholarships and with that, some tougher opponents. Leading the gymnastics team is Sally Krakoviak, who competed in the national finals in California last year. Krakoviak was the first MTSU gymnast ever to qualify for the tournament. REBUILDING IN STORE FOR VOLLEYBALL TEAM, RESPECTABILITY RESTORED TO BASKETBALL AND GYMNASTICS TEAM GAINS COACH At the Tennessee Tech Invitational, the women beat Austin Peay and Shorter College while dropping matches to Lambuth College, Morehead, Carson-Newman, UT-Martin, Tennessee Tech, Memphis State and North Carolina State. Further losses came at the hands of Tennessee, East Tennessee and Murray State before the women had another win. A pair of wins over Austin Peay and Lambuth upped the season record to 6-14, but then disaster struck once more. At the UT-Martin Invitational, the record fell to 6-20 as the Raiderettes dropped six straight matches. The team then split a pair with Tennessee Tech before traveling to the Memphis State Invitational. In Memphis, the women picked up only one win, over Athens College, while dropping three. Two more losses came at the hands of Tennessee and UTC before the women split a pair with Maryville College. Saving the best for last, however, the Raiderettes won three matches while being on the short end only once. Clearly, some rebuilding is in store for the volleyball team. But it really has no problems that a six-footer couldn t solve. 148 149 TRACK HARRIERS POST ' BETTER-THAN AVERAGE SEASON ' ; NEW RECORD SET IN DISCUS THROW On the surface, MTSU ' s track team had just a little better than average season last spring. The season produced a 3-2-1 record which is three first-place finishes, two second-place finishes and one third-place finish. The outdoor season opened at home against Miami of Ohio, and MTSU notched a 75-65 victory. In that meet, Nigerian Harrison Salami set a new school record in the discus with a toss of 168 feet, three inches. Ekido Macaulay and Charles Hollis scored top honors in the long jump and triple jump, and Russell Holloway swept first place in the 120-yard high hurdles and 440-yard intermediate hurdles. John Johnson won the 440-yard and 220-yard sprints with times of 49.1 and 23.4 seconds, respectively. The Raiders hosted a quadrangular ' or four-way-meet next, and took the top prize, outdistancing the rest of the pack with 64 points. Eastern Kentucky was second with 46.5 points, and East Tennessee third with 42.5 points. Notre Dame finished last, managing 32 points, or half of the Raiders point tally. Highlighted for the Raiders were John Johnson ' s 48.9 time in the 440-yard dash, his 22-second-flat time in the 220-yard dash, and Henry Kennedy ' s 9.8 time in the 100-yard dash. David Lipscomb, Cincinnati and Memphis State made an appearance in Murfceesboro next, and the Raiders could only manage a second-place finish on 50 points with the Bisons of David Lipscomb College taking first with 55.5 points. Cincinnati was third with 38.5 points, followed by Memphis State with 38. (continued) 1 150 DIll.K TKN ' K!)r)HH: 151 ■•■•? ■« «  ■ JV : J ' ' ' {5131.1: TKm:r y,Fj: sg 152 .

Johnson won the 440 in 48.2 seconds, and Salami captured the discus with a heave of 157 feet, two inches. At Auburn, the host Tigers outdistanced the rest of the pack, scoring 81 team points. Furman University was in a distant second place with 45 points, fol lowed by MTSU and Troy State University with 40 points apiece. The Raiders also suffered another setback when they traveled to Murray, Ky., to challenge the Racers. MTSU came up on the short end, falling by an 86-55 margin. MTSU rebounded the following week at home, whipping Tennessee Tech in a narrow contest 72-69. MTSU went into the contest as 27-point underdogs, but jumped out to an early 21-20 lead on the efforts of James Key, who captured first place in the mile run with a time of 4:13.5. Other first place winners for the Raiders were Salami, Macaulay and Mollis. A key factor in the win for the Blue was when Johnson, Ronnie Robinson and Larry Cotton captured 1, 2, 3 in the 40-yard dash. The meet was won when the mile relay team, consisting of Cotton, Robinson, Bill Moore and Johnson, breezed past opponents in a time of 3:17.1. In the Tennessee Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Championships at Memphis State, the Blue Raiders managed a second-place team finish. MTSU finished in fourth place in the Ohio Valley Conference Championships. Once again. Western Kentucky grabbed top honors.

The harriers started off on the right foot with a 23-. ' 32 victory (in cross-coun- try, the low score wins) over Fisk University but almost immediately stumbled once out of the starting gate. James Key, a Murfreesboro native in his final year at MTSU, and freshman John Timberlake ended the Fisk matchup in a virtual tie for first for place for the Raiders with a time of 33:41. Raider runners Mike O ' Hara, Ed Capron and Pete Pihko captured the fifth, sixth and seventh positions in the match. In the next race, things didn ' t work out quite so well for the Raiders. MTSU traveled to Cookeville undefeated but scampered back nearly demolished. Three Golden Eagles crossed the finish line at the same time — holding hands, no less. The crushing 17-46 defeat might well be the straw that broke the camel ' s back, as it paved the way for things to come. MTSU ' s next try produced a sixth place finish in the David Lipscomb In- vitational. Timberlake finished eighth in the meet while Key took the 15th position. The Raiders earned a fifth place finish at the Bradshaw Invitational the fol- lowing week behind Key and Timberlake, who came in eighth and Uth individually. Dual meet action resumed against Vanderbilt, and although Timberlake took first place, the Raiders dropped the contest by 23-34. Timberlake crossed the victory stripe in 21 minutes flat, but no other Raider finished higher than fifth. In the next race, David Lipscomb College downed the Raiders by a 26-29 margin. MTSU ran without its two top runners but almost came away with a victor). A seventh place finish for the Raiders in the Tennessee Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Championships was next on the agenda, and once again MTSU was hurt by runners dropping out. John Timberlake finished 24th individually with teammate James Key winding up 25th. An all-time low was set by MTSU in the Ohio Valley Conference cross-country championships as the Raiders, on their way to a last place finish, captured three of the last five places in the meet. MTSU finished the season with a 1-3 dual meet record. ||| 155 V J £-f 156 ' ' .

The final standings showed the Raiders sporting a 17-3 record; two of those losses were to Ohio Vallev Conference opponents Western Kentucky and Austin Peay. The Blue Raider netters spurted to a quick 9-0 record, including wins over powerhouses Cincinnati, Tulane, Central Michigan, UT-Chattanooga, Vanderbilt and Murray State. In an early OVC showdown with Western Kentucky which would decide MTSU ' s fate in the conference, the Hilltoppers emerged victorious, 6-3. The only non-conference loss came at UT-Chattanooga in a rematch of an earlier contest which the Raiders had won. This time, however, the shoe was on the other foot and the Mocs escaped with a 5-4 win. MTSU got back on the winning track with wins over league foes Tennessee Tech, East Tennessee, Morehead State and Eastern Kentucky. At this point, the Raiders were in sole possession of second place in conference play. But then, meddlesome Austin Peay made an appearance on the MTSU courts, and walked away with a win. In the OVC Championship tournament in Richmond, Kv., MTSU finished in third place. Over the summer, coach Larrv Castle announced that he was moving on down the road to Florida State. The athletic department said that no head coach would be named to replace Castle and that Australian Clvde Smithwich would take over coaching duties III 157 WRESTLING WRESTLING TEAM: HARD LUCK FOR COACH, TEAM AND BUDGET BUT MAY BE MTSU ' S HARD LUCK In almost every situation of life, there is bound to be one or two hard luck stories. Such is the case in the Middle Tennessee State University athletic department. The victim? The wrestling team. From a quiet beginning, wrestling has boomed into the sports program at MTSU with the toughest schedule now or at any time in the past. Because of a basic lack of interest, officials at MTSU decided to drop wrestling from the intercollegiate program approximately 20 years ago. Three years ago, the program was revived, and Gordon Connell, one of the state ' s brightest and youngest coaches on the high school level, was brought in to head the program. At the time, Connell was faced with little interest by administrators and stu- dents alike. More importantly, he was faced with no scholarships. How can you recruit quality athletes with no scholarships? Good question, because today the situation is still much the same. Connell still has no scholarships to work with despite the fact that — aw, heck, this is really getting nowhere. It is much simpler to state the facts and let them speak for themselves. Looking down a list of the 1975-76 opponents, one sees such impressive names as Tennessee, UT-Chattanooga, Virginia Tech, Auburn, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Notre Dame, DePaul, Cincinnati, Eastern Kentucky, Georgetown, Kentucky and Alabama. Connell operates on a smaller budget than many sports have here, but that doesn ' t seem to bother him. As for recruiting, the only reason, quite frankly, MTSU has gotten some of its wrestlers is on Connells reputation alone. The honest truth is that Gordon Connell is too good for a school of MTSU s calibre, and he isn ' t really appreciated anyway. So, enjoy Coach Connells success, MTSU. Because 1 predict another school will steal him away very shortly — say, within two years. Unless the school acts soon, anyway. When a hard luck story such as this is usually written, there are almost always offers to pick up the victim and help him back to his feet. Let ' s hope this is the case this time. Because whether any- body realized it or not, in Gordon Connell, we have the Jimmy Earle of wrestling, (continued) I 7 Ai 158 ' IBWs( - ' 159 160 WRESTLING CONNELL LEADS WRESTLERS EVEN WITH ADVERSE CONDITIONS, WINDS UP COACH OF THE YEAR Before the season began, Connell predicted his squad would be lucky to break even, what with the schedule and everything. Well, they finished the year with an 18-9 record and Connell was later named the Southeast Intercollegiate Wrestling Association Coach of the Year. Our assistant, Muhammed Ghorbani, really influenced the team, Connell said, and our depth helped us this year. The season opened on a quiet enough note, a 32-7 trouncing at the hands of Tennessee. But the Raiders rebounde to break a 23-match winning streak with a 24-19 win over Southwest Louisiana. A 35-4 loss to UT-Chattanooga was ne. t and the Blue then won three in a row over Chattanooga State, Southeast Missouri State and Appalachian State. When we beat Southeast Missouri and Appalachian, two pretty good teams, When we beat Southeast Missouri and Appalachian, two pretty good teams, Connell said, I know we were better than I suspected. Southeast Conference powerhouses Georgia and Auburn visited MTSU during spring registration, and while MTSU was expected to lose both matches, the Raiders upset Auburn 25-19. The win over Auburn was the culmination, the coming of age for us, Connell said. The most heart-breaking loss, according to Connell, was a 21-19 loss to Notre Dame. We were clearly the best team on the floor. The most satisfying wins? A pair of victories over Maryville, a team the Raiders lost to twice last year. We really wanted them, Connell added. Individual records show David Scott finished the season with a 21-2- 1 record, including five pins in a row at one stretch. Mike Kuzida posted a 14-4 record while Mike Osborne ended up 17-5 on the year. Pat Simpson earned a 18-6 season while Mike Hooker finished with a 7-8-4 record. And Scott won the Most Outstanding Wrestler award at the Kentucky Open Wrestling Tournament b finishing first out of 45 wrestlers in the 149-pound division. What does the future hold for MTSU ' s wrestling program and Gordon Connell? We ' re going to get better, Connell predicted. Our competition will improve next year so our record may stay about the same. Geographically, we ' re located in an ideal situation. We could build a real powerhouse, but we can ' t nurture it without scholarships, ' Connell added. The skies the limit with scholarships. I would like to stay here 40 years, but I cant under adverse conditions. I realize there are present financial limitations, so it ' s going to be a slow change. ' 161 ■ir.-it.

It was kind of like waking up from a dream and walking into a nightmare. The subject? Varsity basketball. When the 1974-75 campaign was over and finished, there was talk from all corners of dyanasties and pots of gold at ends of rainbows. There was just one nagging thought — three All-OVC players — Jimmy Martin, Steve Peeler and George Sorrell were gone. Who would replace them? And then it happened, just like that. Sleepy Taylor, the new kid on the block, tore his knee up while playing baseball at his home in North Carolina. Well, so sorry, too bad and all of that. We ' ll just have to do it without him. But look at our freshman. Then it happened again. Greg Joyner, a recruit from Philly who was supposed to be the new Sorrell, was declared ineligible because of grades. By new, Jimmy Earle and his assistants StPn Simpson and John Ferguson must have known some- thing was up in the air. Then it rained for forty days and nights; the gates open and the flood start- ed; the moon came crashing to the earth and the sky was falling. Instant calamity. Tim Sisneros hurt his hand, Lewis Mack broke his foot, Greg Laravie had sur- gery on his back, Clint Dennison hurt his back and Lork knows what else. And if that wasn ' t enough, newcomer Ronnie Greenwade was disciplined and dropped for the season, and just when they were starting to jell late in the season, the flu almost devasted the Raiders and cost them a game at East Tennessee. At one point, in fact, it got so bad that Earle referred to the Raider ' s home court as the ' Murphy Center Triangle, ' because players kept disappearing. Yes, at best, it was truly a season to be forgotten. Oh, it had its highlights and memories, as Earle will tell you. We (the coaching staff) got as much from this group of talent as we ever have in the face of adversity. It was an almost unbelievable season from start to finish, and this was a good group to coach, Earle said. But this team went down in the records books as MTSU ' s best shooting team ever. They hit on 49.4 per cent from the field and 72 per cent from the charity stripe, second highest in that category. (Continued) 163 SISNEROS PLAYER OF THE YEAR AS WELL AS AP ' S SOUTHERN DISTRICT ALL- AMERICAN But the finest memory from the past season is Tim Sisneros. For the second time in as many years, MTSU laid claim to having the OVC ' s Player of the Year. In achieving this goal, Sisneros scored 618 points and hit 451 shots for .570 per cent, setting new records in all three categories. He was also the leading rebounder, averaging almost ten a clip, and was an AP Southern District Ail- American with the likes of Leon Douglass and Bernard King. And to top it all off, Earle says these days, I think his best basketball is in front of him. ' Lewis Mack broke the season-assist record with 131, and tied the single game record with 12 at Tennessee Tech. And the toughest record to have broken was when UT-Chattanooga halted the Raider s Murphy Center win streak at 33 in a row. MTSU, for the second year in a row and fifth in seven years, led the OVC in team defense, giving up only 73.5 points in a row. The season opened with Sewanee, and while the final score was 88-71, some- thing seemed to be lacking. With Mack, Greenwade and John Bonner making what could be considered their first major college start ever, Sewanee played MTSU a tight first half. One got the feeling that the crowd was waiting for Sorrell, Martin and Peeler to come out of the dressing room. The Raiders eventually caught fire, with Sisneros dumping in 29 points and co-captain Fred Allen netting 21. The second game went much the same way, with Morris Harvey playing a close game until late in the game. MTSU outdistanced the Golden Eagles by a score of 89-67. An early test of the Raiders ' capabilities came against the University of Alabama. While many predicted MTSU couldn ' t hold a candle to the Crimson Tide, the Raiders actually caught on to the Blue s weaknesses, however, rebound- ing and the fast-break — and put the game away, 76-62. Rio Grande College provided the warm-up as MTSU prepared for the Volunteer Classic. The Raiders dumped the Redmen 89-65 and then headed to Kno.wille and disaster. In the first game of the Classic, MTSU was humiliated by Clemson ' s 82-46 win; but the Raiders bounced back the following evening to stop Army 78-71. I though it was a tribute to our players to come back and beat a good Army team after the night before, Earle said. 164 165 166 GRUELING FIVE-GAME STEAK TOO MUCH FOR BLUE UNTIL EASTERN KENTUCKY The Raiders notched wins over Mercer, Cal Ploy State at San Luis Obispo and Athens College before their next loss. In the Athens game. Sleepy Taylor re- turned to the line-up and Julius Brown, a transfer from the University of Georgia, made his debut. It didn ' t help much though as MTSU barely nipped Athens 65-63. When UT-Chattanooga came to town, everyone knew they would win if MTSU didn ' t play up to their capabilities. Well, the Raiders didn ' t, and the Mocs left with a 83-72 Cakewalk. Sleepy Taylor, playing about 80 per cent, was the leading scorer for MTSU with 17 points. The Raiders next reeled in the Palm Beach Atlantic Sailfish 93-69 before opening the OVC schedule. And when the Hilltoppers of Western Kentucky left Murfreesboro, everyone finally woke up from the dream. They realized MTSU ' s dynasty would have to be postponed at least a year. Fortunately, after WKU ' s win, you couldn ' t tell the players that. They believed they could still win and then set out to prove it. The first things came against Tennessee Tech and East Tennessee, and MTSU clipped the Golden Eagles wings 76-74 and made the Buccaneers walk the plank 79-60. But then disaster struck again in the form of a grueling five-game read trip — the kind that shouldn ' t be inflicted on anybody. Following losses to Morehead, Eastern Kentucky, Austin Peay and Murray, MTSU finally won a road contest. Western was the victim by a score of 71-65, but then it was time for more disaster. The Raiders lost three more in a row to Peay, East Ten- nessee and Tech, giving the Blue seven losses in eight games. And then the Raiders finally started playing the kind of ball everyone knew they were capable of. It started off with a 95-75 win over Eastern Kentucky, and evervone was glad just to see the losing string end. The significance was missed, however. Significance? Yes, MTSU was finally starting to come of age. We were start- ing to jell before the Western game, but the flu at East Tennessee nearly destroyed us, Earl moaned. The season was closed out with wins over Morehead, non-conference power Marshall and Murray. At Marshall, Sisneros scored a season-high 37 points. In the last ten games, in fact, he average 28.1 points and 12 re- bounds per game, and finished the season with a 22 point average, second (continued) 167 168 DYNASTY POSTPONED, BUT STILL DREAMED OFF highest in Blue Raider history. M TSU finished the regular season in fifth place, higher than most sports- writers, including myself, figured. In the OVC tournament, that gave the Raiders a first-round foe of arch-rival Tennessee Tech. The Raiders went into the contest as the hottest team in the OVC and emerged the same way. The 84-72 win over Tech sent MTSU into the tournament finals against Western Kentucky where one of the most amazing comeback stories of the year came to an abrupt halt. The Hilltoppers handed MTSU a 10-point loss, 88-78, but they couldn ' t end the dream. Individually, Fred Allen averaged 13.8 points per game, Lewis Mack earned a 13 point average. Sleepy Taylor at 1 1.6 and John Bonner at a 9.2 clip. Yes, the dynasty ' may have been postponed for, a vear but The Impossible Dream ' will live forever. Ill GOLF LINKSTERS PURSUE WINNING SEASON Fall golf, as is most sports that are split up, is supposed to be a preparation for the coming spring season. If that is the case, the MTSU iinksters will most surely have a winning season. In the opening fall contest, the Blue Raider golfers brought home a share of fourth place in the Murray State Invitational. Austin Peay and MTSU ended the three-day tourney with a total of 909 each for the tie. Gerald Nelson, a transfer from Columbia Junior College, shot a 225 total followed by senior Geary Sharber ' s 226. Another Blue Raider linkster. Chip Yanen, shot a 227, with Sam Hunt and Bobb Dyke shooting 231 and 241, respectively. A first-place finish was ne.xt in store for the Blue raiders at the Hart Invitational in Cullman, Ala. Hunt, Dyke and Yanen all fired par 72s in the opening round to give MTSU a margin it never relinquished. MTSU entered the Opryland Invitational as not only the defending cham- pion, but as the only champion of the three-year-old tournament. This year, however, things were not destined to be the same. Although the Raiders finished in second place, golf coach Dr. E.K. Patty expressed some dissatisfaction over the play of his iinksters. Gerald Nelson was low man for the Raiders at 148 for two rounds. Making an appearance in the first annual River City Invitational Golf Tournament in Memphis, the Blue raider golfers took 18th position in a field which sported many major conference representatives and many major independents as well. Ronnie Duff was the only Blue Raider to break into the top ten individually, firing a 185 total. Considering all of the factors, MTSU did quite well in representing the OVC in such a tournament, and the Raiders will have a shot at taking first place in the OVC Championships this spring. 169 Football 4-7 Tennessee State 14-21 Carson Newman 22-21 Morehead State 12-10 UT-Chattanooga 10-27 Eastern Kentucky 24-34 Murray State 17-5 Austin Peay 13-17 Western Carolina 44-28 Western Kentucky 10-24 East Tennessee 20-37 Tennessee Tech 3-30 Fall Golf Hart Invitational 1st place Opryland Invitational 2nd place Murray Invitational 4th place River City Invitational 18th place Womens Basketball 15-9 Murray State 66-50 Lambuth College 83-21 Hiwassee 70-71 Union 76-83 Tennessee Tech 75-86 East Tennessee 85-45 UT-Martin 91-66 Murray State 55-44 Memphis State JV ' s 77-35 Miss.

For those who may be somehow unaware of the term, it means something for everybody. Whatever you favorite form of recreation is, the intramural office offers it. Sports range from the old, established ones like flag football and basketball to the new and wilder ones like innertube basketball and team frisbee. Yes, it ' s all here. The thrill of victory — the agony of defeat. Your chance to be the all-star quarterback. And, most of all, the chance to have fun and enjoy athletics for a change. 172 CIRCLE K CLUB Shirlev King PattiSprv Amy Jones Barbara Smith Cee Sizemore Cindy Plemons Ronnie Brewer Jim Corder Rilev Clark Mark Vantrease Michael Warfield Joe Ridolfe David Gray BillHinschel Debra Dement Garv Brock Mary Ann Clepper Elaine Purvis Bill Aldrich Dan Wosten STUDENT TENNESSEE EDUCATION ASSOCIATION Janice Blazer Belinda Powers Charlotte Mills Glenda Malugin Sandra Lawrence Karen Anderson Janet Alexander Kathy Dick son Debbie Duggin Jo Ellen Grant Sally Hale Debbie Guthoerl Connie Hughes Ann Kidd Gregory Lyies Honey Morgan Carol Welch 174 WADO KARATE CLUB 175 ALPHA KAPPA PSI 176 .CB CLUB.

No doubt, many professors also are a little reluctant to adorn themselves in cap and gown. Nevertheless, the academic costume is steeped in tradition. Its essential features date to the Middle Ages. The earliest European universities began as chuch schools, and both students and faculty wore clerical robes. Apparently, the gown with its flowing hood down the back was first uniformly adopted by the University of Cambridge in 1284, and by the University of Oxford soon after. The regalia followed the English into the American Colonies. King ' s College in New York, now Columbia University, is credited with first picking up the custom. Of course the tradition spread, and by 1895, the result was a confusing array of caps, gowns, and hoods. In that vear, a commission established a uniform code which was last updated in 1959 by a committee for the American Council on Education. Still, few people understand the symbolism in the garb they see on fellow students, faculty members and administrators during the graduation ceremony. The familiar mortarboard cap was in the Oxford style although it is undoubtedly less comfortable than the soft Cambridge version that was similar to a beret. A black tassle is most common at MTSU, but the code allows a tassle colored to indicate a person ' s field of study. Those with a doctoral degree may wear one metalic gold in color. Another method of distinguishing the level of one ' s degree is in the gown. Masters ' and doctors ' gowns were once of silk, with a special velvet decoration on the latter. Synthetic material is now common, but a gown ' s style can identify the wearer ' s degree. The bachelor ' s gown has long pointed sleeves. A masters gown has pouch-like sleeves, and before the last code revision, was characterized by an unusual design causing the arms to emerge through slits at the elbows. Three velvet bars on each sleeve and velvet panels down the front distinguish a doctor s gown. It is usually cut fuller than the others. The pannelling and bars may show the degree color, but not necessarily. A wealth of information lies in the hood draped across and down the back. The hoods differ with degree in length and in the width of the velvet border. A bachelor ' s hood is three feet with a two-inch border, a master ' s three and one-half feet with a three-inch border and the doc- tor ' s four feet with a five-inch border. The color of the hood lining tells which school granted a person ' s degree. MTSU hoods are lined in blue and white. Border colors denote field of study. For example, students in education wear a hood bordered by a light blue stripe. Students in science wear gold yellow, and those in music wear pink. Other color codes are aerospace, silver; arts, white; journalism, crimson; home economics, maroon, agriculture, maize; economics, copper; library science, lemon, nursing, apricot; physical education, sage green, and business administra- tion, drab. Although the hood is not worn by students receiving a bachelor ' s degree, it is a part of the other costumes paraded at graduation ceremonies. Next time you sit through one, try conquering your boredom; look at the hoods and figure out what interests the nameless faces surrounding you. 258 Q SENIORS katherine copeland ulie duncan david mcphearson patricia reed martha Simmons surusak tronggettumm 259 randall aaron david abbott warren abrams mike abston John adams sherry s. adams joe adcock micheile adcock joel akers charlene alexander John anderson. jr. karen anderson ken anderson selene anderson david andrews reid andrews waltnelle armstrong larry ash worth beverly g. bailey 260 dianna bail charles banks, rande barke nigel barker edora barnes Janet basse kay baynes pam bearden joe beeler ronnie beene John beglin bonita bell bob bellenfant gary e. bender dawn bennett 261 Susan bennelt holly benton karen berry debbiebetts kathy bingham meredith birdsong Sandra black melissa blackwell david blackwelder mark blackwelder James h. boyd, jr. debbie baltimore betsy bostick rebecca bingham donna boyington nikki bowman nancy bragg terri bramblett bob bratton 262 mark brothers derreli brown greg brown John brown Judy brown karen butner Jennifer butt judy bratton John d.

Paul Cantrell, Dean of Students, denied the group permission to burn the effigy at the outset, but later changed his decision after receiving pubHcity in several local newspapers. Cantrell was present at the burning and agreed to light the match. Cook was given last rites (Left) by an uni- dentified priest . Twenty to thirty persons watched Cooks effigy (Below) go up in flames.  u : f ' ST.

To avoid some of the hassles next registration time. Cliff Gillespie, acting dean of admissions and records, has a suggestion. Students should make sure they have all registration materials (trial schedule, name and fee cards and student registration form) before they come to Murphy Center, he stressed. Registration will be easier if the student does his or her part beforehand, Gillespie emphasized. During the two-day on-campus registration, almost 10,000 students enrolled. Late and off-campus registra- tion increased the total amount to 10,562 students. Since MTSU s enrollment has increased 113 percent in 10 years, the university has become the fastest grow- ing institution in the Board of Regents system. |i 295 mark abernathy debra ables brick abrams charles adams Janet adams melinda adams douglas aired bonnie alsup sam alsup mark albrittoii michael amburgey Joyce anderson lisa anderson theresa anderson vicki anderson 296 WHAT FOCUS IS f ALL ABOUT In trying to find a way to make the class pages more interesting, we decided to try fo- cus .

Monk ' s helped out a lot at one time, but then he, like everyone else, decided it was time to rip off the students. MTSU has yet to get a reputation for being a ' party school .

Now I have two places to go and get ripped-off. Id like to know what they do with all those books that they give us a dollar for because they re not going to be used any more. I bet they sell them to someplace else for five dollars. ' It seems like the teachers and bookstores could work together to insure that we ' re not gonna lose money on a book that s gonna be jdropped.

I don ' t care. When only 10% of the student body will vote in any given election, you have a pretty good idea of how apathetic MTSU students are. People need a good ole controversy to stir them out of their apathetic states like the logo controversy last year. I feel that the nation, as a whole, is going through a period of apathy. It s hard to follow up all the e.xcitement of the sixties. As I understand it, the students of this university have always been grossly apathetic. maria urrutia denise vvakefield karen waldron jody waldrup cathy walker darden walker deborah utiey delores vance donna vanderbilt Janet vandergriff Connie vannatta michael vanzant barry vassar karleen vaughn valorie Vaughn joey V enable 341 CUTTING CLASS jan Wallace buckv waller nancy walling patty ualsh harrell ward jimmie ward sharon ward tommy warden bob warren denise warren i LJ i No university should be without it.

I always miss a bunch of cla sses when springtime rolls around. Ive been here for two years now, and never cut a class. I ' ve missed a couple because of sickness, but that ' s all.

Limited visitation restricts this. I don ' t approve of it. I feel that is en- courages some things which should not go on between members of the opposite se.x. I don ' t think we ' ll ever see open visitation on this campus. All efforts so far have been unsuccessful. If the student body would only get behind it and raise hell, I bet we could get open visitation. Its going to be hard to get something like that passed here in the middle of the Bible Belt.

Editors Last Rant This will be a unique closing for a publication of this kind (stolen from the 1975 editor of the University of South Carolina s GARNET AND BLACK, Fred Paul Merritt). The majority of editors use this space to thank those near and dear for help and support extended throughout the year. I have chosen instead to put the screws to those who have made my job more difficult than it ever should have been. At the top of my list is one John Lewis Pitts, who, aside from being just a general pain in the tail, left me without a managing editor in the middle of the summer. Thanks, Pitts. Then there are the photographers (Photo Phred, for example) who never had the time or money to take the pictures I assigned, but were always loaded with photos of sweet little honeys. How do you explain that? ' Next on the list are those organizations who could never understand that I can ' t do everything. When a photographer didn t show up, I somehow received most of the blame. When names are left off group pictures (because we didn t get the information in time), I know 1 II get the blame for that, too. That s the breaks. Id like to extend a very sarcastic word of appreciation to the Mass Communications Department for swiping our chairs at the beginning of the year, to most of my staff members for leaving me stranded on deadline nights, and finally, to Nancy Nipper and the Board of Publi- cations for getting me in this mess in the first place. Without these people, I might have been able to leave this univer- sity with at least a teensy bit of sanity. There is no hope for that now. If you have not been included in the above rant, I truly appreciate the love, help, and support Ive been extended during my term as editor. Can ' t believe I did this, huh? Well, I did!
