It ' s more than a theme, it ' s more than a slogan. As MTSU celebrates its 75th anniversary this year, it ' s a chance for us to look back and reflect upon where we ' ve come from, where we are now, and hopefully where we will be in the future. In the past 75 years, MTSU has gone from a two-year, teachers college to the third largest university in Tennessee. We now have academic programs comparable to the best in the nation, superior extracuricullar activities, and, of course, the Blue Raider football team was ranked 1 in the nation this year. The Midlander has tried this year to record a perma- nent history of MTSU circa 1986. As you look through this book, just sit back and think: Take A Look At Us Now!

We ' re 75 And Proud We ' ve Come A Long Way So Take A Look At Us Now . . . 44 We ' re lir We ' re number one! The chant rang out loud and clear from he MTSU locker room after their 17-0 shutout victory over the Akron Zips. That game, played before a Rubber Bowl crowd of 21,785 people, clinched the Ohio Valley Conference Championship for the Blue Raiders, who went on to complete a perfect 11-0 season. It ' s been 20 years since MTSU last won the OVC title. Head coach James Boots Donnelly played on the university ' s last championship team in 1965, and this year ' s victory is especially meaningful to him. The third time was a charm, Donnelly says. We ' ve been in the race the past two years but came up short both times. We played so well defensively. I can ' t think of a better way to win, Donnelly adds. It is rare in college football today that you shut out a team. We played excep- tionally well in this game and most of the season. The players themselves are quick to give their opinions on the championship season. We were all prepared, explains defen- sive tackle Dino Deluliis. We ' ve got the best staff, coaching, in the country. The defense played a hell of a game and a hell of a season, offensive tackle David Kercell says. They were unbelievable. I ' d like to thank the fans for their sup- port, says defensive guard Doug Homan. Not everyone believed we could do it, but the fans stuck with us. — Richard Hunt Walm(MQ,mk ( iQj ( m. . . Student Life Taken from the June 1912 bulletin of the Middle Tennessee State Normal School: Each student will be required to keep her own room in order, which will be inspected by the matron or lady princi- pal daily. The deportment and social life of the young women in the dormitory will be under the supervision and direction of the matron who will place around them every possible inspiring and protecting influence. The dormitory life will be made to conform as near as may be to the regulations of a well ordered home, and students will not be retained in the school, who will not comply with such regulations. Take a look at us now! Who ' s Amy Grant? This question was asked more than once when it was announced that Amy Grant would headline this year ' s homecoming concert. For other people. The occasion was a cause celebre. Amy Grant is the leader of a type of gospel music, called contemporary Christian that is growing in popularity among young audiences. Al- though other Christian artists (Sandi Patti, Petra) have become well-known, none have gained the popularity of Amy Grant. She regularly plays the same size auditoriums that secular bands play and consistently sells out her concerts. Unguarded, her latest album, sold rapidly upon its release and crossed over into the pop charts. When tickets went on sale September 9, they sold quick- ly, making the Grant concert one of the fastest selling this season. Tickets in hand, Mid- dle Tennessee anxiously await- ed October 19. Opening act Bob Bennett pacified the expectant audi- ence with his James Taylor-ish style. Opening with Lennon and McCartney ' s Help! and closing with Still Rolls the Stone, his current single from his LP Non-Fiction, Bennett npd, i.«k gave the crowd a simple show, with only an acoustic guitar as accompaniment. But Amy Grant was who the people wanted to see. And when she came on stage, the audience response ws deafening. With a hard rock sound, she launched into Too Late, one of the few of her older songs she did that night. She then treated her enthusiastic audience to some of the Unguarded songs which propelled her to her current supcrstar- dom: Love of Another Kind, Sharayah, and Wise Up. The crowd sort of quieted after that she as she did Where Do You Hide Your Heart, Who to Listen To, and Jehovah. A short instrumental interlude by Amy ' s band also softened the mood. But when they heard the familiar strains of Michael Card ' s El Shaddai, Murphy Center went wild. After that hit from her Grammy winning Age to i ■ ik. 1 ] r i ri Age album, she talked to her audience a bit. You know, after singing a song like ' El Shad- dai, ' something inside me says, ' Amy, shut up and leave. ' She told her audience very directly about the influence of Jesus Christ in her life, and the effect He could have on theirs. A personal story about being lost in a snowy forest and finding her way led into her song Thy Word, written with Michael W. Smith (of Friends fame). After Fat Baby, dedicated to her parents, she turned her band loose on Murphy. Led by Amy ' s singer songwriter guitarist husband Gary Chap- man, with some hot licks by guitarist Jerry McPherson, and vocals from the ladies of These Three, the band punched out a rockin ' version of the gospel standard Standing On the Promises. Grant then gave the audience more: Everywhere I Go ; Find A Way, her first pop hit off Un- guaraea; l Love you, wnicn sne aeaicatea to Chapman; Steppin ' in Your Shoes ; Emmanuel ; and finally, ' Angels. But the crowd refused to let her leave. For her encore, she gave them Fight and Straight Ahead. Unfortunately then, the concert was over. Amy Grant had made her joyful noise unto the Lord. And the crowd loved every minute of it. — Michael R. Turner Sludcnl Life fl Student Life — 13 Oaks, Exile, Schneider ' Step On Out ' At Murphy Country music fans saw a little bit of heaven when the Oak Ridge Boys, Exile and John Schneider joined forces at Murphy Center. These three big names in country music brought their Step On Out tour to MTSU in October. For the Oaks, it was their second Murphy Center concert in two years. For Exile and Schneider, it was their first time here, but the crowd made them feel more than welcome, especially Schneider. Many female members of the audi- ence could be heard yelling, ' I love you, John at Schneider, a female heartthrob since his days as the rip- roarin ' Bo Duke of The Dukes of Hazzard. Schneider sang several of his coun- try hits during his 30-minute portion of the show, including I ' m So Glad God Made Country Girls, Short Walk from Heaven to Hell and I ' ve Been Around Enough to Know. The crowd joined Schneider as he did one of his favorite songs, the theme from the Dukes. After Schneider left the stage and the band changed, the familiar strains of My Old Kentucky Home could be heard, announcing the entrance of the Lexington, Kentucky group. Exile. They quickly got the house stomping with Mama Says. Exile sang most of the hits from their successful Kentucky Hearts al- bum, including She ' s a Miracle, Crazy for Your Love and I Don ' t Want to Be a Memory. The song that first put Exile on the charts — the pop charts, that is — was 1978 ' s Kiss You All Over. The audi- ence ' s approval of Exile was thunder- ous, giving the Oaks a tough act to follow. The Oak Ridge Boys entered the stage amidst a laser show and smoke. The Oaks, long a country-music pow- erhouse, delighted the crowd with American Made, Dream On, Fancy Free, A Love Song and Ozark Mountain Jubilee. Joe Bonsall, spokesman, lead singer and apparently chief acrobat for the group, jumped all over the stage sing- ing to the audience and generally ex- citing the crowd. The fans really got excited when bass singer Richard Ster- ban even uttered a sound. 14 — Student Life The Oaks delivered hits, hits, and more hits, including Everyday, Sail Away, Cryin ' Again, Come on In, Little Things and 1 Guess it Never Hurts to Hurt Sometimes. The Oaks also did their most important song, Bonsall said, telling the audience that kids are our greatest resource and playing their hit, Thank God for Kids. Singer William Lee Golden got on his knees during an emotional moment in the song. Their two big hits were saved for last: Elvira and Bobbie Sue. The crowd refused to let them leave, so for an encore they did Leavin ' Louisiana in the Broad Daylight, Beautiful You and Ya ' ll Come Back Saloon. — Michael R. Turner .  . •  « 16 — Student Life Surfs Up At Murphy Center! Student Life — 17 Where could you go on a warm autumn night in Mid- dle Tennessee and watch America ' s answer to the Bea- tles, the MTSU cheerleading squad (complete with mascot) and a singer who claimed to play the meanest mikestand in the business ? More than 7,000 people saw this and more on October 12, when the Special Events Committee presented the Beach Boys and Three Dog Night in concert. The show marked the Beach Boys ' second appearance at Murphy Center, and Three Dog Night ' s first concert tour in 10 years. Three Dog Night played the first set. Chuck Negron leading off on One Man Band, with Cory Wells assist- ing on cowbell. Afterwards, Wells, as spokesman for the group, promised the crowd hit songs spanning a dec- ade. Danny Huttoh brought back the mood of the early ' 70s with Shambala. Negron ' s pleading Easy to Be Hard means more now than it did when it was originally released. In Old-Fashioned Love Song, the tightly in- terwoven lines of the echo-ending brought cheers from the fans, while Wells hammed it up by holding his nose and delivering his lines in the purest ' 30s radio style. After a false start on Back in the Saddle Again (does every rock act playing a Tennessee campus have to 18 — Student Life razz country music?). Three Dog Night launched into Never Been to Spain, with everyone clapping and singing along. Wells swung his mikestand up and strummed it soulfully, like any 14-year-old brother, at the end of Mama Told Me Not to Come. Hutton stepped forward with acoustic guitar to per- form the only new song of the set, Brand New Day, the theme song of a soon-to-be-released movie, American Flyer. The set closed with Celebrate, a perfect lead into the rest of the evening. The audience rose in a noisy standing ovation — Three Dog Night ' s return was as solid as Rock itself. The Beach Boys opened with their famous cover of the folksong Sloop John B., then moved into a medley of their surfing hits, ending with I Get Around. Mike Love vamped madly back and forth on stage, showing off his bright yellow beach shirt. In solemn tones. Love reminded his listeners that the concert was being held at a conservative, classical edu- cational institution, then started a slow country and western rhythm, turning it at the snap of a finger into a fast, loud Little Deuce Coupe. As a brief tribute to Dennis Wilson — victim of a diving accident in 1983 — the group performed Broth- er, a song from Carl Wilson ' s first solo album. The Del Vikings ' old rocker, Come Go With Me, was next, followed by Get You Back and the group ' s newest single, She Believes in Love Again, both from their most recent album. The stage became a pep rally as the cheerleaders of the Big Blue helped out with Be True to Your School, a hit from 1963. The next number, All Summer Long, was older than most of the audience, though many were familiar with it as the ending of the movie American Graffiti. Three or four beach balls appeared down on the floor section as the band romped through the classic Rock and Roll Music. Beach themes returned with Surfin ' Safari, Love pausing once in a chorus to kick a beach ball back out to the fans. The group left the stage then, but returned after four minutes of encore calls. Good Vibrations, the first encore number, was dedicated to the MTSU audience. At the wave of a pompon, the cheerleading squad reap- peared for Barbara Anne. The final song of the even- ing, Fun, Fun, Fun, had Three Dog Night ' s keyboar- dist Jimmy Greenspan returning on concert grand. — Freida Myers Student Life — 19 Tina ' s Back: Body And Soul Rock ' n ' roll ' s ugliest beauty is back. And no one who saw Tina Turner ' s rough and rowdy Murphy Center concert will forget it. Turner stopped at MTSU in November, dur- ing the fifth week of her Private Dancer tour, to belt out her comeback tunes and a few of her older hits. From the moment she burst on stage in tight, white leather pants, shaking her magnifi- cent mane and flaunting her legendary legs, she was hot. Turner opened with a powerful cut from her Private Dancer album, Show Some Respect. Sparks continued to fly through ' T Might Have Been Queen and Baby. The crowd danced and clapped to Better Be Good to Me, featuring a drum solo by percus- sionist Jack Bruno. Pianist Kenny Moore proved himself to be a real entertainer as he kept the audience clapping and singing while Turner slipped off the stage. Three large screens showed the fans a bit of her quick-change technique as she prepared for her next number. The leggy redhead returned in a white, feath- ered mini dress, with matching boa, to sing her soulful hit, Private Dancer. Muscle-bound saxophone player Tim Cappelo nearly stole Turner ' s female audience with a steamy solo dur- ing this number. Then the lights went down, and Turner dropped her feathered dress to reveal a slinky grey outfit underneath. She wailed out One of the Living and We Don ' t Need Another Hero, both from the movie Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. Next she gave the audience a chance to join in during What ' s Love Got to Do with It. The women, then the men, sang part of the chorus. You guys ought to be good at this, Turner said, flashing her famous grin, you ' ve been say- ing it all your lives. But the highlights of the show was the Browns- ville, Tennessee native ' s mean rendition of Proud Mary, the song she first made famous with her ex-husband Ike Turner back in the ' 60s. Turner wound up the show with Let ' s Dance and Bruce Springsteen ' s Dancing in the Dark. By the end of the evening one thing was sure: even at 46, Tina Turner can still rock. Top: Mr. Mister, Tina Turner ' s opening act, sang tunes from their album. Welcome to the Real World. Broken Wings and Kyrie, their two biggest hits to date, were real crowd pleasers. 22 — Student Life Student Life — 23 Glory Days 1985 For weeks before the big day, Greeks and dorm dwellers could be seen sporting their organizations ' Glory Days T-shirts around cam- pus. The shirts were a reminder of the friendly competition between var- ious groups that is a tradition during Homecoming Week. Activities in- cluded a fight-song competition, bonfire and poster contest. Resi- dence halls displayed school spirit by decorating their lobbies. And this year there was a tasty new addi- tion — the chilli cook-off.

Bottom: Congressman Bart Gordon leads the parade on its traditional route around the Murfreesboro town square. 24 The Homecoming parade on Sat- urday, Oct. 19, included 60 entries — the most on record for an MTSU parade — according to Annette Zellmer, the ASB ' s Homecoming Week chairman. Kappa Sigma and Chi Omega won top honors in the float competition. Second place went to Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Alpha Delta Pi. Congressman Bart Gordon served as grand marshal for the parade, which was broadcast live by Mur- freesboro ' s cable television station, Channel 39. More than 13,00 people gathered at Horace Jones Field to see the Blue Raiders defeat the Murray State Racers in double overtime, with a final score of 31-24. Rhonda McKinley was named as MTSU ' s 1985 Homecoming Queen. She is a senior Fashion Merchandis- ing major and the president of Al- pha Kappa Alpha sorority. Her nomination was sponsored by the United Student Association. After the game, elated students tore down the north goal post. Then the celebration was moved to par- ties and night spots all over the ' Boro. Top left: Pi Kappa Alpha and Kappa Delta teamed up on a Glory Days float.

But the big event in Murfreesboro was the opening of a new school to train teachers: Middle Tennessee State Nor- mal School. Created by a 1909 act of the state ' s General Assembly, MTSN opened its doors on Sept. 11, 1911. Approximately 125 students, most of them Middle Tennesseans arriving by train, entered the school ' s two-year program that first year. The students all signed a pledge promising to teach in a Tennessee school within six years of their graduation. In 1925, the school evolved into a four-year teacher ' s college. The Bachelor of Science degree was offered at this time, and in 1936, the Bachelor of Arts program was added. The school continued to grow, and in 1943, the General Assembly designated it a state college, opening the way for expansion and new academic programs. The graduate school was established in 1951. The institution was ad- vanced to university status in 1965, and Middle Tennessee State University was born. In 75 years, the campus has grown to five times its original 100 acres, and its faculty has increased from 19 to 450. As Halley ' s comet returned to the sky in 1986, over 10,000 students were attending MTSU. It was truly a year to celebrate our progress and prepare for the future.

Most of those students claim that there is nothing to do in Murfrees- boro. But an enterprising group of students set out to change all that in the fall, they succeeded in bringing unique week- end entertainment to the ' Boro — at least for a while. The electric harmonizing of the bass and the lead guitars as they blended with the snare drum and the keyboard enveloped customers entering the world of Murfreesboro ' s student-managed night spot. The Hideaway was a place of alternative entertainment. It was a place for the creative music people, says Wayne Adams, the club ' s former student manager. We found out what the people wanted, and we gave it to them. They wanted an alternative place to rock, and that ' s what they got. The Hideaway was Adams ' brainchild. After holding several successful parties at his uncle ' s country club, Ad- ams got permission to open the club as an alternative rock cafe. He was sure that student managers could provide the entertainment and atmosphere that MTSU students want- ed. The Hideaway became an obsession for Adams and eight other students, he says. These students formed a commit- tee, with each one specializing in the area they were best suited for, and they worked to make the Hideaway a suc - cess. Because Mainstreet was the only ' Boro club offering live entertainment, the students decided their club should offer a live music alternative, Adams says. The Hideaway featured music that doesn ' t get played on the radio. Original bands that created and played their own music and their own styles — that ' s what it was all about, according to Adams. Even though the Hideaway is no longer run by students, the dream that became a reality lives on for its founders. They intro- duced another side of music which has long been missing in Mur- freesboro. It was a bar by the students, for the stu- dents — at least for a while. — Melinda C.

Student Life 35 They ' re Serious About Horsing Around A dozen students from three states stand huddled together at the draw table, waiting to pull the name of a 1,000-pound beast from a plain white envelope. One rider calmly adjusts his black helmet, while another fidgets with her black leather gloves. The two competi- tors from MTSU exchange nervous glances. One by one the students lean for- ward and draw a horse ' s name. Then they scatter to find their mounts for the next intercollegiate horse show class. In most cases they will be com- peting on a horse they have never rid- den before. The competitors are judged on their ability to ride properly and handle their horses well. Members of MTSU ' s equestrian team compete against students from 13 other schools in their region in two styles of riding: hunt seat and stock seat. Most team members say the shows are fun — but nerve-racking. It ' s not the draw that makes me nervous, says team member Lacy Sisk. When I get on the horse, that ' s when I get really shaky. Other riders say drawing for their horse makes them nervous because they don ' t know if their mount will be well-behaved, or a handful. Riders don ' t just compete for rib- bons and trophies, they also ride to earn points needed to reach the region- al competition. A first place is worth seven points and a second place is worth five points, with the value of each lower position decreasing by one point, to sixth place. A rider who earns 28 points is eligible to compete in the regional finals. And the regional win- ners go on to a national competition. The MTSU team boasts numerous regional champions and several na- tional champions as well. Becoming a winner isn ' t easy, however. Team members practice riding ev- ery week, attend Horsemen ' s Associ- ation meetings and help care for the horses. Pairs of riders are assigned a horse stall which they must clean — not a completely pleasant task. Cleaning the stalls isn ' t that big a deal, says Sisk. It ' s a small price to pay for use of the horses. There is also a monetary price to pay for team members. Riders must pay for their own entry fees, transpor- tation and lodging when competing at other schools. They also have to buy appropriate riding outfits which usual- ly cost about $400. But riders say being a team member is worth the cost and hard work. It is a chance to be near horses, to improve their riding skills and to represent the university. I love horses and I wanted a chance to ride more, says Tracye Ad- kerson. I wanted to learn to ride bet- ter, too. 36 — Student Life Opposite: Tracy Andrews practices her equitation over fences.

Pulling a horse ' s mane by hand is the only way to achieve the correct appearance for a show. And is this year ' s turnout for the equestrian team tryouts in the fall are any indication, a lot of students are interested in the opportunities offered by the team. More than 100 people tried out for the 35 positions on the team, according to Coach Kathy Sharpe. Picking the team is probably the hardest thing I have to do, says Sharpe. I know I am breaking a lot of hearts. — Connie Cass Student Life — 37 Herring Hopes Hub Will Hit Hollywood When Robert Herring stumbled upon a tiny family cemetery hidden high up in the Great Smoky Moun- tains, he was amazed to find fresh flowers placed on each of the graves. I thought, ' Who would climb all the way up here to do this? ' says Her- ring, an associate professor of English at MTSU. Who even knows this place is here? Herring says the experience plant- ed the seeds for his second novel, McCampbell ' s War, which was re- leased in April. McCampbell ' s War is the story of Proffitt McCampbell, an old man who lives in a cabin in the Smokies. He returns home from the hospital to learn that a new highway under con- struction will cut through his small family cemetery. McCampbell is de- termined to save the graveyard, and he begins a private war with the authori- ties. I used to be a guide over there [in the Smokies], Herring says. The names of the people and the places are all accurate. I researched it very care- fully. Herring also used fictional charac- ters and a real setting in his first novel. He set Hub on a small island is Os- ceola, Ark., where he remembers play- ing as a boy. That place is real, just like the mountains in McCampbell ' s War are real, says the 20-year veteran of MTSU. Herring, who teaches a course in Southern literature, uses Southern dia- logue and character types in his novels. But he says his books are more ad- venturesome, with more action than typical Southern novels. I ' ve always written about the South because I know the South, he notes. Herring was born in Charleston, Miss. His father was a minister and a member of the Air Force, and the fam- ily traveled extensively while Herring grew up. He was already writing short stories by the time he entered Missis- sippi College. I wrote poetry and short stories for years before I started writing a novel, Herring says. I put it off — I don ' t know why. Hub was published in the summer of 1981, and that event was the culmina- tion of a long struggle for Herring. I paid my dues, He remarks. I think it was a matter of a learning process: if you write long enough, sooner or later you ' ll find a publisher. And I needed that time to learn. Herring says writing comes easier for him now. And even though he teaches a full load at MTSU, he finds time to write four or five hours each day, usually at night. I work very late at night and I al- ways have, he notes. I don ' t go to bed before 3 a.m. As Herring begins writing his next work, a trilogy, he is hopeful that Hub may soon be a movie. He has sold the option and a screenplay has been writ- ten. Hubv Ul make a heck of a movie, he says. And if Hub is a hit in Hollywood, will MTSU lose Herring? No, Herring says, he has very deep roots that keep here in Middle Ten- nessee and close to the Smokies. — Connie Cass 38 — Student Life Dance Education Important Lesson Clickety-clack, clackety-click, click, click. Young feet tap out a quick rhythm as other students strap on dainty — but well worn — ballet slippers. Students of all ages gather to learn the many types of dance taught at the Nancy June Brandon School of Dance, located in Shelbyville, Tenn. Their teacher, MTSU student Nancy June Brandon, stresses to the younger children the importance of doing exercises correctly as she guides them through the day ' s lesson. Some of her students have been at the school since they enrolled for the baby-level classes. The students learn ballet, tap, jazz and some gymnastics in their classes in the well-lit, roomy studio. By teaching them some of the basics in all areas of dance they get a well-rounded feeling for dance education, Brandon says, explaining she learned this important principle from her first dance teacher. Brandon, like the many other older students at MTSU, came back to school to finish her degree. When she first started college she was majoring in dance, but she quit school when she married Bill Brandon and started a family. She then started dancing again and, 15 years ago, she opened her school in Shelbyville. Brandon started taking a few dance classes in Atlanta to refresh and further her education. She also followed her favorite instructors, and when they came close to her area, she would study under them. She has studied with profes- sionals all over the country, including New York, Chicago, Western Kentucky University and Cullman College in Alabama. Brandon decided to take her first dance class at MTSU just for fun. I enjoyed it so much, I decided to finish my degree, she recalls. Since MTSU doesn ' t have a dance degree, I had to get a major and take a lot of classes I wouldn ' t have needed before. The 46-year-old part-time student has two children. Since her children have gone their separate ways, Brandon spends six afternoons a week at her school with her dance students. The speech and theatre major enjoys her work and it ' s obvious her students enjoy her classes. We have a lot of fun and excitement, Bran- don says. After classes are over and dance shoes are put away, the studio looks quiet and empty as the lights go off. Now it is time for Brandon to study her own lessons, but tomorrow the young dancers will reappear and the studio will be cheery and bustling again. — Penny Huston Student Life — 39 —• •«• • ■; .. . . • ■ ma:: 7i . . m: W • sir M .fft ' ii y ujt J5 ' tt t • 1 Jpfe „ - ' Hpi 40 — Student Life Nashville At Night: A Photo Essay Opposite, top: Riverboats along the Cumberland River.

Pholos bv Wayne Carlwnghl Student Life — 41 The Man Behind Old Blue Old Blue — just who is this furry blue creature who trails every football and basketball event? We know the fur but not the face. The man behind the mask is senior Eric West. A veteran of the 1982 cheerleading squad, Eric decided to try out for the Old Blue job on a whim. It seemed like it would be a fun way to get back into cheerleading, West recalls. I knew you could do a lot of crazy things and get away with them as Old Blue. West auditioned against four others for the position last fall. Each of the competitors had to present a five-minute routine in the dog suit before a panel of judges. They were judged on their ability to entertain, and many included mime, dance or a skit in their routine. When West suited up for his turn as Old Blue, the first thing he noticed was the costume ' s poor visibility. He was sure he would run over something, but he managed well in the costume and won the job. I thought, ' How in the world am I gonna see? ' West says. But if you do run into things, you can make a joke out of it and the people will laugh with you. According to West, the toughest part of his job is getting the crowd psyched up at the games. Another tough part of the job is dealing with the heat that builds up inside the costume during a good cheering workout — the outfit was not made to accommodate sweat. But even if it is a dog ' s life. West still says he enjoys playing Old Blue. If the game ' s going good, and the kids are around watch- ing you, then you have fun and forget about the heat, the Clarksville native says. Socially, very few people know that West is the dog on the field. Some of his friends still can ' t believe it, he says. Of course there are those who enjoy teasing him with nicknames such as the dog. And Eric finds that people treat him differently when they find out he is the man behind the hound. Most people think it ' s pretty neat, West admits. There have been some embarrassing moments for Old Blue since West took over, including a few heads bumped by the dog ' s noggin. West also remembers knocking a Coke out of a girl ' s hand with the unwieldy dog ' s head. And he says that a lot of people are embarrassed if Old Blue approaches them at a game. West is a pre-med mathematics major planning to work on his masters degree next year. Due to a tight schedule planned for next year, including active involvement with the pom pon drill team, he will step down as Old Blue. West says the part of the job he will miss the most is entertaining the children and old people. The kids love Old Blue, he says, and some of the older people tell me a lot of times that they come to see Old Blue more than to see the game. — Jean Roesler 42 Key Remembers When Many romances started on the steps of Kirksey Old Main, Zadie Key says as she laughingly remembers that this was the campus gathering place when she was a student at MTSU. This is one of the many memories that MTSU ' s 75th anniversary stirs for Key, 64. Key, secretary to the dean of basic and applied sciences, has worked for MTSU almost 20 years and has been associ- ated with the school since long before that. Key grew up near campus, attended Campus School and graduated from Middle Tennessee State College. Key started here as a 15-year-old freshman and graduated at 19. As a student teacher she trained under her former sixth- grade teacher at Campus School. She says that MTSU has changed a lot since she went to school, and that the most obvious change is its size. Everyone knew each other, she recalls. Enrollment in the 1930s was still only about 200. All students lived in the dorms and the student body was less diversified. Key says. Most students were from the Middle Tennessee area and those who weren ' t had relatives here. The curriculum has really expanded, Key notes. We had never heard of recording industry management or com- puter science. ' When she entered the school it was primarily a teacher ' s college, but there were some other degrees offered. The- student body was younger, most finishing high school and then coming straight to college, she says. Of courseWorld War II and the GI Bill changed that. The campus itself was smaller then, and Key recalls that KOM was the focal point of the school, where most of the classes were held and all of the offices were located. The Drawing Building was the cafeteria, where students could buy lunch for a quarter. Jones Hall and Rutledge Hall were the only two dorms, although Lyon Hall was built soon after that. The library was where Peck Hall now sits, and it was a beautiful building covered with ivy. Key remembers with a laugh that water often stood on the library floors after a rain. The campus itself is not the only change Key remembers. People thought the world had come to an end when tuition went up to $25 a quarter, she says. When Key was a student, no one was allowed to wear shorts on campus, even if they were on their way to gym class. They had to wear something over their shorts or change when they reached the gym, which was located where the Business Building now sits. There were no parking problems then because very few students had cars. And there were no quick markets nearby, so students walked or caught rides to the Square to shop. Key remembers walking to the corner of Tennessee Boule- vard and Main Street to catch a ride with townspeople headed for the Square. Though the townspeople didn ' t know her, they would always give a ride to a student. When she was ready to return to the campus. Key, and other students, would stand on the corner by the First Baptist Church and wait for a ride back. Someone would always stop and offer the students a ride, she says. Growing up near campus as a child, Key learned to roller skate on the campus sidewalks and often attended football games. It was the Campus School ' s first full year of opera- tion when Key entered the third grade there in 1929. She stayed there until the ninth grade, when she transferred to Central High School. Campus School, which continues to be a training school for MTSU education majors, was somewhat experimental at that time, according to Key. It offered smaller classes and student teachers, as well as many other advantages stemming from the school ' s association with MTSU. Because Key felt the advantages of attending the school were so great, she was upset when she couldn ' t get her own three sons enrolled there before she starting working for MTSU. Key has remained interested and involved in MTSU all of her life. I ' ve never enjoyed working anywhere as much, she says. I enjoy my association with students and with the academic world. And Key takes pride in the university ' s special year. When anyone or anything can celebrate 75 years, it ' s great, Key declares. And we should celebrate! — Janice Tobitt Student Life — 43 Below: The silo of the LRC is home for the new Center for Popular Music. Facing Page: Paul Wells, administrator of the new center, researches material for the music archives. Musical Memories Live On At MTSU Where can you go on campus when you want to hear a little Polish-American or Czechoslavakian- American folk music? Commercial music ' s mainstreams and interest- ing backwaters, including immigrant folk songs, will be the focus of the Center for Popular Music, a newly established archive housed in the silo in the Learning Resources Center, says Administrator Paul A. Wells. Wells says that although the collec- tion will be intended primarily for student use, the staff will work to build a research and resource center of national significance, one that will at- tract music industry members and visiting profes- sors and scholars, as well as future students. We are taking as broad a view as possible of popular music, both historically and stylistically, Wells says. This is music that owes its existence to the media . . . music created to be sold. The center will house many forms of sound re- cordings: records of all the standard speeds ever issued, piano rolls, studio and consumer tapes, pos- sibly even wax cylinders. Sheet music, artist photo- graphs, and news clippings will be equally impor- tant, but quieter, parts of the archive ' s holdings. Wells and his staff will edit and produce a journal of popular music research, containing studies done both here and at other locations. In this way, he hopes to give coverage to other aspects of popular music, such as recording and manufacturing techin- ques, that are hard to represent in an archive. Music popular with MTSU students — such as jazz, rock ' n roll, and country — will be gathered for the collection, although museums, hall of fame, and archives for each already exist or are well into development in other cities. Tentatively, Wells is planning to emphasize two kinds of music not being collected systematically elsewhere: gospel and American ethnic. The South is a primary region for religious music, so the cen- ter ' s Middle Tennessee location is a handy one. W ells notes a growing interest by music researchers in the relatively untouched field of American ethnic song traditions and recording artists. These recordings were pressed and sold in great quantities only in specific regions of the nation, so they never made the top-40 lists. For example, Polish-American recordings sold well in Northern cities with high percentages of Polish immigrant citizens. In the South, Louisiana is still famous for Cajun-style music; Cajun artists have crossed-over into mainstream country for hits. At one time, Texas contained large German- American and Czechoslavakian-American settle- ments, so researchers travel to the Lone Star State for memorabilia of these styles of folk music. Wells comes to captain MTSU ' s latest Center of Excellence after working three years with the music archive at the John Edwards Memorial Foundation and five years producing bluegrass and country re- cordings at CMH Records. He has also written for magazines and hosted a Los Angeles radio show. — Freida Myers Right; Alex Haley speaks to the student body on the impor- tance of equality.

The MTSU community kicked off the school ' s 75th anniversary celebration in a big way on Jan. 29, 1986. An estimated 1,300 students, faculty and guests turned out for the academic convocation held in Murphy Center. The theme of the ceremony and the year ahead was 1986: Our year to shine! The MTSU Symphonic Band and Concert Choir opened the convocation with several musical selections, followed by a faculty processional through the building. Dr. William M. Beasley, professor of English, spoke about MTSU ' s history and the school ' s promise for the future. He said the university was based on the belief that the educated person contributes to the well being of all. And he praised the highly skilled and widely trained faculty employed here. Thomas J. Garland, chancellor of the Tennessee Board of Regents, also spoke during the ceremony. It was Garland ' s first official visit to MTSU, and he spoke optimistically of the university ' s growing importance to the Middle Tennessee area. MTSU President Sam Ingram received proclamations from John T. Bragg, state representative; John Mankin, Rutherford County executive; and Joe B. Jackson, may- or of Murfreesboro. That afternoon, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Alex Haley planted a tree in front of the Learning Resources Center. Somehow the planting of a tree is of a special symbol- ism, Haley told observers. When today ' s students re- turn to this campus in 25 years, they will see that this small sapling will have grown into an adult tree. Later Haley, author of Roots and co-author of The Autobiography of Malcolm X, spoke in the Boutwell Dramatic Arts Building. His visit to MTSU was a part of both the university ' s diamond anniversary celebration and the state ' s Homecoming ' 86 festivities. Haley recalled the days he spent as a child listening to his grandparents tell stories about their forefathers. It was their stories about Chicken George, Miss Kizzie and other relatives that inspired him to write Roots, Haley said. He also spoke about the importance of education and the need for equal opportunity for everyone, regardless of race or sex. rir r 1 ii 75th Di a ond Anniversary Our Siito shine!

The two units were commissioned to participate in four of the larger Mardi Gras parades during four days of one of the most unique and unusual events that was ever concocted by any city. The two units had to practice diligently to obtain the perfect timing and execution of their precise ma- neuvers.

But for senior international relations major Becky Gundt it was hard work — and fun. Gundt worked for a member of Parliament and lived with a London family as part of an internship sponsored by European Programs Abroad and Catholic University in Washington, D.C. She was one of 20 students selected from across the United States. We were there to compare and contrast to the Ameri- can political system, the way of life and the cultures, Gundt explains, adding I had a great time. And what were her impressions? They play politics over there quite a lot, Gundt says. Like their question time, a lot of it is used to make politi- cal points. Question times are formally arranged periods each week when members of Parliament can question the Cabinet or prime minister about policy matters. Gundt observed the questioning of the prime minister. I was very impressed with Margaret Thatcher, she says. I see where she got the name ' Iron lady. ' Each day from 3 to 5:30 p.m. English civility appears. Sometime during those two hours everyone in the coun- try stops what they ' re doing and takes tea, Gundt says. And it ' s not just tea — it ' s a whole little meal in the afternoon. It ' s very relaxing. And Gundt saw more than Parliament. She spent week- ends traveling across England by train, or exploring the streets of London. In London there was always something going on, she recalls, the theatre, the pubs, and the parks were gorgeous and well-kept. The country itself was beautiful. She was impressed with the public transportation system of buses, subways and trains. And walking is very common in London, according to Gundt. You can get along great without a car, she says. People walk everywhere. I walked home alone at night all the time, she says, and I was only scared the first time. As long as you use common sense, you ' re safe. Gundt ' s only incident occurred one night when she was passing a row of pubs at closing time. A drunk walked up to her, kissed her, and staggered off — without saying a word. And that wasn ' t ev en scary, she admits. Gundt ' s work as a research assistant for an MP from Northern Wales exposed her to many of Britain ' s current concerns. She worked on a report about the educational system in Britain and Wales for her employer. Teachers there are underpaid, according to Gundt, and they earn less than their American counterparts. Another problem Gundt found in the United Kingdom is the growing illegal drug trade. She helped prepare a report on the increasingly large amounts of cocaine and heroin entering the country. But she says Britain ' s drug problem is not yet as bad as the United States ' . They have a problem with security in Parliament, and they ' re trying to make it stronger, Gundt says. An MP ' s office was blown up by the Irish Republican Army last year, according to Gundt, and since then security has been a priority. The hallways around the House cham- ber are a confusing maze, dotted with restricted rooms, passages and stairways that Gundt occasionally wandered into by accident. I got yelled at more than my fair share, she admits. Gundt recorded her observations in a daily journal that is part of her internship grade. There were days when you got home and you really didn ' t want to see that notebook, she recalls. She was also graded on recommendations from the MP she worked for and the family she stayed with, and she was required to attend a weekly seminar for interns. Despite the hard work, Gundt says her foreign internship was terrific experience that taught her about the British government, British people and herself. It opened up a lot of possibilities, she explains. I ' m a little bit more independent than I was before, a little more outgoing, more bold. It helped me decide I want to do something where I can travel a lot, she adds. Gundt plans to attend law school next year and study international law. And what was her overall impression of England? If I ever get a chance, I ' m going back! — Connie Cass Art Major Creates Unusual Works In a small well-lit studio, wood shavings float gently to the floor as sounds of chisels being rapidly driven into hard gnarled wood fill the air. Beads of perspiration dot intense faces as they concentrate on the shape in their hands and the design in their eyes. Creativity is in the atmosphere as those gnarled pieces of wood emerge into beautifully de- signed pieces of sculpture. What does it take to produce unique sculptures or any other form of art? A lot of soul-searching and total commitment to the field, according to art major Vicki Barkley. She has been drawing since the tender age of two. My mom says I ' ve been drawing ever since I could hold a pencil, she says. Besides drawing, the 21 -year-old senior is involved in wood carving and sculpture, welding, bronze and aluminum casting, foundry, weaving, painting, printing, acting, and writing. Barkley could be considered an artist of all trades. The Chattanooga raised artist came to MTSU in the fall of 1982 under the advice of her high school art teacher. I heard a lot about the school. He told me it (MTSU) was the best place in Tennessee for art and also the chea- pest. Barkley had to learn a lot of different things about her- self and her priorities when she enrolled into the art pro- gram now included in the School of Liberal Arts. An art student has to learn discipline, responsibility, idea development, technical skills, art history and the two most important things are patience and to actually do art. The former Homecoming nominee graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in December and plans to attend graduate school for two years to obtain her Master of Fine Arts degree. She could then open her own studio. ' MTSU offers good academic basics in their art pro- gram. They let you know what can and can ' t be done, then you make the decision as to when you ' re ready to break some of those rules. Over the past four years Barkley has often seen inspiring freshman artists enter the program only to change their major or drop out. Lots of people can ' t do some of the basic work and get disgusted. Art takes a lot of devotion and hard work. Barkley has had some of her works featured in Collage MTSU ' s literary magazine and in the Senior Art Show held this year. The fashionably new wave (NOT punk rock), self-confident, charismatic artist takes up her chisel once more. She concentrates on the wood in front of her as shavings dance to rest on the floor. Ah, the artist at work!

Academics — 51 Dance Students Present Excess Images MTSU ' s Performing Arts Company presented Excess Images, a production put together by students enrolled in the university ' s various dance classes, in the fall. The production, designed to display the talents of the danc- ers, was choreographed to such popular tunes as Dress You Up, by Madonna, and St. Elmo ' s Fire, by John Parr, as well as modern dance tunes, such as Appollo lOO ' s Mad Mountain King and Kate Bush ' s Ba- booshka. Anne Holland ' s Childhood Is My Native Land and live among its standing stones was performed during the show ' s latter half. The performance was a project of Holland ' s Dance for Theatre class and is based on a termite society. Dancers portrayed termites through the stages of the birth, life and death of their society, per- sonifying them so that the audience could identify with the different aspects of life that were being explored in the performance. — Jean Roesler 52 — Student Life Opposite top: A mother termite communicates with her daughter during Anne Holland ' s dance, Childhood Is My Native Land and live among its standing stones.

His white cane sig- nals drivers to wait. Be- low, John Harris, direc- tor of Handicapped Stu- dent Services talks on the telephone. Michael R Tun Helping The Handicapped Adjust To Campus Life About 100 handicapped students are cur- rently working towards degrees in fields rang- ing from RIM to recreation therapy. Except for their handicaps, these students are no different from those who are non- handicapped. They have the same hopes and share the same feelings as everyone else. And most important, they want to be a success in life and take their rightful place in the main- stream of society. These students are being helped in their ef- forts at MTSU by John Harris, who was cho- sen to be the first full-time director of the Department of Handicapped Student Services in the spring of 1984. In the short time since his arrival, Harris has made major gains in establishing a comprehensive program to help meet the needs of those students with disabil- ities. Harris was born and raised in Memphis, and although blind since birth, he has never- theless made substantial achievements in a short time. He graduated from MTSU in 1979 with a bachelor ' s degree in psychology. He worked four years as a vocational rehabilita- tion technician at VA Hospital before coming to MTSU. Jan Schlafer, a graduate assistant, also works closely with the handicapped. Schlafer received her bachelor ' s degree in physical edu- cation from Carson-Newman. She later worked as an instructor for the deaf at Tennes- see School for the Deaf in Knoxville. The program maintained by Harris and Schlafer is quite impressive. One of their big- gest responsibilities is to coordinate the entire registration process for the 80 or so students they serve. This task is quite complicated, partly because of the different methods handi- capped students use to pay for their education. A complete file must be kept of the classes each student intends to take each semester. Cameron Nicholson re- ceives signing from Gina Asberry, a Handicapped Student Services volunteer. Student Life — 55 Also they must individually iron out problems any person might have concerning class acces- sibility. Harris believes the first step in han- dling this situation is for the student to make the professor aware of his or her needs. A lot of our students are not assertive, Harris said. They just go and sit in the class- room, and halfway through the semester they look up and they ' re failing. It ' s not because they don ' t know or understand the material, but the fact that they ' re not able to get the information. If there is still a problem after a student and professor have talked, then Harris may be asked to assist both parties in finding a solu- tion. Solutions are usually quite simple. For example, the problem a lip-reading deaf stu- dent may have in understanding a professor ' s lecture might be eliminated if the professor refrained from speaking extensively with his back to the class. Occasionally Harris provides personal ad- justment counseling and career counseling. A lot of our people come here from schools which had maybe four or 400 students into an environment of 10,000 people, Harris said. For a handicapped or severely disabled per- son that can be a traumatic experience. And that ' s why we offer personal adjustment coun- seling. Academic and career counseling are avail- able for students with limited work experience, as well as those who are uncertain as to what someone with their particular handicap could be expected to do. Harris also counsels his students to organize their time efficiently with suggestions such as scheduling three classes back to back. In this way the student leaves enough flexibility in his schedule to coincide with the schedule of students providing read- Keith Hateley transcribes on the Braille writer while Gina Asberry, a Handicapped Student Services volunteer, reads from the text. 56 Student life rameron Nicholson, 1 hearing imparied itudent, wortcs in the JC Game Room. ing help or attendant care. One of the things I try to do here at this office is try to keep people on an even keel, keep people motivated, Harris explained. I try to act as a motivator. I try to keep the office kind of loose here and try to keep a lot of enthusiasm going with people. In discussing the future of the handicapped program at MTSU, Harris added, I think we have a university with the opportunity to have one of the top programs in the state if students are willing and the office people are willing and I think we are, and I think the students are. Students play a vital role in working with those who are handicapped. Some work as readers for the visually impaired, while others work as attendants for those with motor im- pairment. The department keeps a continuous file of prospective readers and attendants to refer to students desiring their services. How- ever, it is the student who does the actual hiring. When asked what type of person he looked for to be an attendant, Harris came straight to the point. The very first thing we look for is a person who is responsible! Harris insisted. The per- son has to be there because what the student does and how the student accomplishes things that must be done is completely dependent on the attendant. Another reason why attendants must have responsibility is that potential medical prob- lems may be involved. We ' re asking students to provide services which in many cases are performed by trained nurses, Harris explained. So we have to be very careful about who we take in to provide these services. We ' re talking about the person- al care of a person ' s body — and that makes a difference. Also a lot of our people who need atten- dant care have potential medical problems re- sulting from their particular disability, he ad- ded. MTSU officials are considering mutually beneficial ways to use attendant care to pro- vide experience for students studying in the medical fields. We ' ve got handicapped students right here on campus that could provide our nursing stu- dents with good experience which they cur- rently get only by working with area hospi- tals, Harris said. — Keith Hateley Student Life — 57 By The Skin Of Our Teeth — Thornton Wilder 58 — Student Life A Crazy Comedy-drama About The Indestructible Human Spirit On Oct. 10, 11 and 12, 1985, the Buchanan Players presented the play, The Skin of Our Teeth, a crazy comedy-drama written by Thornton Wilder. This 1942 Pulitzer Prize- win- ning play, directed by Pat Farmer, was filled with spontaneous and deliberate humor. The play had excellent special effects and highly detailed sce- nery. Act I opens in Excelsior, New Jersey, in the home of Mr. and Mrs. George Antrobus, during the prehistoric Ice Age. Mr. Antrobus, who had just invented the wheel, the alphabet and the multiplication table, sends his wife a telegram to tell of his great inventions. After he returns home, Mr. Antrobus discusses the bitter cold weathe r with his wife. Mr. Antrobus tells his family that they should always pull together and strive to do their best to get through even the toughest crisis, such as the Great Depression, which was just two years before. The Atlantic City Boardwalk is the setting for Act II. The Antrobus family made it through the Ice Age. It is 1942 and the Antrobus ' are cele- brating their 50,000th wedding anniversary. Mr. Antrobus, who is now president, is attending a convention along with his wife and two children. The boardwalk is surrounded by evil and ill re- pute. A carnival gypsy encourages the Antrobus family to be themselves, not allowing themselves to be influenced by advertisements, society, or the evil around them. Mr. Antrobus, his daugh- ter, Gladys, and his son, Henry, all become in- volved in some way with the sin of the boardwalk. After becoming involved with a beauty queen, Mr. Antrobus decides to leave his family. Upon telling his wife of his plans for divorce a storm comes: the Great Flood. The family, along with animals in sets of two, board a ship as a means of safety. Once again the Antrobus family pulls together and survives. The plot circles back to the opening storyline in act III by returning to the Antrobus home. It is the day after the end of a seven-year war. Almost everything has been destroyed. Henry, the son, and Mr. Antrobus fought on opposite sides during the war. This causes a conflict among the family. The father and son argue but eventually talk it out. Mr. Antrobus stresses the importance of beginning again and encourages everyone to start over. The play is written out of time with the past, present and future all merged. The Antrobus family represents the human race and how it strives to pull through life ' s difficulties. The way the family maintains their lives despite the world ' s problems encourages the audience to be- lieve that the human spirit is indeed indestructi- ble. — Kim Buhler Opposite: Homer (Jack Flannery) and the judge (Stephen Morgan) take shelter in the Antrobus ' home.

Student Life Getting Out A New Start As Getting Out opens, Arlie tells an unseen cellmate about the time she and her sister June captured a neigh- bor boy ' s pet frogs and spent the afternoon tossing them one by one onto a busy street. He jus had to stand there watchin all the cars go by smush his little babies ... I never had so much fun in one day in my whole life, Arlie declares. Arlie is a black woman serving eight years for robbery and murder in Alabama ' s Pine Ridge Correctional Insti- tute. She committed those crimes during an attempt to escape from a three-year sentence for forgery and prosti- tution. Guards and fellow prisoners alike consider Arlie a noisy troublemaker. As the lights come upon the other side of the stage, Arlene Holsclaw, out on parole, is moving into a shabby apartment in Louisville, Ky. She is determined not to return to prison, but she will find little encouragement for her new start. Getting Out is the honest and realistic story of her readjustment to life outside. On the set, Arlene ' s apart- ment occupies center stage. Brief scenes from her child- hood are played on the far left side; scenes from her prison life are played on a cot and iron-bar set on stage right. Each of the two acts was played continuously with remarks or situations in Arlene ' s apartment triggering her memories. The security bars on Arlene ' s windows remind her of a prison, and, at stage left, Arlie argues with a policeman. When Arlene ' s former pimp, Carl, comes to visit, Arlie screeches her half of a long-ago argument with him. Carl returns again to tempt Arlene back into a life of prostitu- tion, and Arlie stumbles over the words of the Bible in her isolation cell. Ruby is with Arlene as she begins to recall her suicide attempt.

She echoes Mama ' s words to her, Arlie, what are you doin in there? Arlene realizes that Arlie is still a part of her — and that some of Arlie ' s strength and spirit will be necessary as she makes her way in the outside world. Getting Out was the second fall production of the MTSU Speech and Theatre Department, in conjuction with the Buchanan Players. Faculty member Deborah Anderson directed the show, assisted by student director and stage manager Krista Mclnturff. Set design was by faculty member Michael Sniderman. Students Diana Fugate and Jack Pennington designed costumes and lighting, respectively. Katharine Huddleston ' s sassy Arlie was a strong sup- port for Tres A. Johnson ' s Arlene. Their careful timing of lines prevented the script ' s innovative lack of transi- tions from becoming confusing. Instead, the arrange- ment gave Arlene ' s actions clearer, more immediate meaning. The cover of the program included the statement, This play contains graphic language and situations and is recommended for adult audiences. Perusal copies of the script were made available before the play ' s run began. Despite these precautions, a few audience mem- bers did not return after the intermission on three nights of the shows run. But director Anderson has done an impressive job of keeping the show away from sensation- alism; the possibly offensive scenes and words were bal- anced by the message of hope delivered in the second act and ending. — Freida Myers Student Life — 63 In The World This Year 1985 was a pretty nice year. Some good movies came out, no shuttles blew up, royalty visited and after a scare we got Classic Coke back. Soviet leader Gorbachev made rounds here, rais- ing hopes about U.S.-U.S.S.R. relations. As impor- tant as his visit was considered, more attention seemed to be paid to the visit of Prince Charles and Princess Diana. In ' 85 attention was finally called to the plight of the U.S. family farms and an attempt at relieving some of their economic troubles resulted in Farm- Aid, a multiple-star concert put together by Willie Nelson, John Cougar Mellencamp and Neil Young. We lost 248 soldiers of the 101st Airborne in ' 85, epitomizing the awful year for plane crashes. Their plane crashed in December in Newfoundland. The nation spent an inordinate amount of time worrying about the disease AIDS. Who had it, do they go to what school, did they use this needle last? The Red Cross suffered severe blood shortages as a result of the mistaken fear that AIDS can be con- tracted through donating blood. Violence heated up in South Africa due to grow- ing dissention among the repressed blacks against the system of aparteid. In Eastern Africa famine continued to leave mil- lions hungry and dying. The problem became an obsessive concern of rock singer Bob Geldof, who wielded the power of the music industry to create Live-Aid, a day-long, star-studded rock concert de- signed to raise money for famine relief. World terrorism continued to threaten live, fan violence threatened the fun of soccer games and the possibility of nuclear war threatened everything. In an effort to move towards better relations and even- tually open nuclear arms talks, the leaders of the two great superpowers met in Geneva. Although nothing immediately came of the summit, it never- theless left many with the impression that there is hope for us yet. — Ted Nunes Here in our own little corner of the world, the year went much more smooth- ly- The big story of the MTSU year was, of course, the garnering of the OVC championship by the Blue Raider foot- ball team for the first time in about 20 years. This glorious achievement no doubt added to the festive atmosphere on campus while we celebrated our 75th an- niversary. One damper on the fun was the ever- present difficulty of parking on MTSU ' s campus. This is a problem that begat more problems as a site for a supplemen- tary parking lot was sought. Making all of this seem somehow small and perhaps insignificant is the approach of Halley ' s comet in 1985. — Ted Nunes ( ' ak(3 ook( lQ (Mm. . . cademics Taken from the June 1912 bulletin of the Middle Tennessee State Normal School: The Academic Course of four years of thirty-six weelis each . . . is to prepare teachers for the elementary schools, and for admission to it the applicant must have finished at least the elementary school course prescribed for the public schools of the State.

The Aerospace De- partment hosts the only intercollegiate flight team in the state. They are a highly competitive team and have placed in the upper division in numer- ous regional meets. Departmental growth made this team possible, as well as the expansion of degree empha- sis. Those students interested in aero- space now have the opportunity to take advantage of four different de- gree options, ranging from profession- al pilot to aerospace maintenance management. The Agriculture Department of- fered two new scholarships to incom- ing freshmen this fall. Dr. Frank Beck, a retired dentist, donated 81 cows to the department, and this gift will fund a scholarship covering two year ' s tu- ition at MTSU for three students this year. The department ' s faculty spon- sored a $600 scholarship. The department sponsors student livestock and horse-judging teams, as well as an equestrian team. All three teams competed successfully this year. The MTSU community is unaware of many of the Biology Department ' s technological and biological advance- ments. For 10 years, the department has housed scanning and transmitting electron microscopes. The scanning electron microscope produces a three dimensional image, allowing the sur- face features of the object to be ob- served. The transmitting microscope allows the individual to observe at a higher magnification. The images can then be saved by micrographs — actu- al pictures of the viewed image. These microscopes are available to upper- classmen and graduate students en- rolled in specific courses, with a limit- ed enrollment of 10, designed to intro- duce them to the microscopies. Dr. Mary de los Reyes and her stu- dents have made recent devel opments in the area of immunology. They are Academics Studying the effects of free radicals of the immune response. Another group of students is studying life in the Stones River, including some unusual foreign organisms discovered there. The Chemistry and Physics Depart- ment has also acquired several new pieces of equipment this year. The de- partment purchased a 16-inch newto- nian reflector telescope which was built by a physic ' s professor at Van- derbilt. They also acquired a diode ar- ray spectrophotometer and a gas chro- matograph mass spectrometer system. This equipment is used for upper-divi- sion chemistry classes and graduate students ' research. The department tries to obtain new research and teach- ing equipment each year. Many students interested in pre-ar- chitectural or pre-engineering studies enter MTSU ' s Industrial Studies De- partment — their stepping stone to an- other institution which offers their de- sired area of study. Surprisingly enough, about 50 percent of these stu- dents decide to stay at MTSU and complete one of the majors the depart- ment offers. There is a great possibility that a construction technology emphases may replace the energy technology emphases soon, according to the de- partment head. Dr. Richard Gould, who says that interest in the construc- tion field is growing. Gould sites stu- dent involvement in the renovation of the Industrial Science Building as proof of this interest. Students and faculty celebrated this projects com- pletion with an open house in the fall semester. Did you know that MTSU had its own critic ' s corner? Five faculty mem- bers of the Mass Communications De- partment are currently involved in me- dia organizations outside of the uni- versity. They are Larry Burris, media critic for public radio station WMOT; Frank Blodgett, entertainment critic for WMOT; Bob Wyatt, book-page editor for The Tennessean; Ed Kim- brell, media critic for WSM, Channel 4; and David Badger, film critic for public radio station WPLN. Other faculty members were also active in their fields of interest, including Glenn Himebaugh, who is a guest columnist for The Tennessean and The Nashville Banner. The department ' s cable channel, Channel 22, gives broadcasting majors a chance to develop their talents and gain production experience. This year they produced a new musical program. The recording industry management program produced MTSU ' s first com- pact disc this year. Over a third of the university ' s en- rollment attend classes in Kirksey Old Main each day. Why? This is where the Math and Computer Science De- partment is located. At one point, this department ' s enrollment increased by 18 percent in one year. The number of faculty has increased from nine to 34 since 1960, yet they continue to be understaffed. MTSU often has more graduates from this department than any other institution in the state, and they were the first in the state to offer computer science courses with the op- tion of a degree. Also, they offer an actuarial emphasis in a math major — one of only two such programs ap- proved in the state. The Military Science Department started off the year with the annual awards day and then a three-day field training exercise at Smyrna Training Area. They provided aircraft for Faro- ily Day and paratroopers for Home- coming. Veterans Appreciation Day, (opposite) Greg Boling, holding the bag, is in the physiology lab, where they measure affects on respiration. (below) Chemsitry is part of every student ' s experience in college science. blood drives and Christmas parades kept the drill teams active. Another field training exercise was held in the spring. Overall, the Crossed Sabres, Blue Brigade, White Berets, Forrest Raiders, and the intramural program had a busy year. MTSU ' s Department of Nursing is known for its tough standards. These standards are met by most, however, and they are one reason why the de- partment ' s graduates have passed the state board exams with a 100 percent passage rate for four consecutive years. Nursing students are instructed in the classroom and in a clinical at- mosphere. The students are assigned their own patients to observe and work with at the Middle Tennessee Medical Center.

Academics 79 School Of Business The Accounting Department has enjoyed steady growth, with some 800 students now pursuing majors. According to Dr. William Grasty, the department chairman, more and more women are studying accounting as more firms are hiring women. Nearly half of MTSU ' s accounting majors are women, and Grasty expects women to outnumber men in the department in a few years. In the Business Education, Distributive Education and Office Management Depart- ment students are trained to become teachers and office-management specialists. The de- partment acquired an assortm ent of new mi- crocomputers and other word-processing equipment this year that will help students get the feel of a real office environment. The de- partment also offered a course in entrepeneur- ship for the first time this year. Many people now are very much interested in owning and operating their own business, says Dr. H. Dalton Drennan, head of the de- partment. four schools at MTSU, with some 3,000 students enrolled. In the last few years, enrollment has grown substantially. As a result, a new department, the Information Systems Department, was formed. Dr. Robert Aden became the head of the only new department formed at MTSU this year. The 225 students plan- ning to major in informa- tion systems spend much of their time in the uni- versity ' s computer lab. There they gain exper- ience which will later help them in their career objectives, according to . Aden. He says that stu- dents trained in informa- tion systems do well in the job market, and have an average starting salary of more than $20,000. With the recent addition of an emphasis in financial-institutions management, students in the Economics and Finance Department can now be better informed concerning the in- creasing diversification in the financial ser- vices industry. Another recent development is the real estate program, which is growing in popularity. The Management and Marketing Depart- ment is another example of rapid growth. Ac- cording to Dr. Daniel Rountree, department chairman, over 1,200 additional credit hours have been generated in management and mar- keting during the past three years. Rountree attributes this increase in part to the decision of more students majoring in other areas to choose management and marketing as a mi- nor.

The department ' s main interest is to provide a strong profes- sional growth for those pursuing a ca- reer in the criminal justice system. They sponsored a lecture by Dr. Cora- may Mann, professor of criminal jus- tice at Florida State University, in the fall of this year. The Elementary and Special Edu- cation Department works with Cam- pus School, a Rutherford County pub- lic school located on university proper- ty, to benefit the students of both groups. MTSU education majors use Campus School as a laboratory where they receive on-the-job training. And the young students there benefit from individual and personal instruc- tion from the college students. The de- partment ' s Environmental Energy Education Center is another valuable service. It provides educational and in- structional materials to teachers and future teachers in this area. Faculty members in the department are also involved in Project HELP and the de- velopmental studies program. The Department of Health, Phys- ical Education, Recreation and Safety gives students an opportunity to pre- pare for professional careers in teach- ing health and physical education. Anne Holland, assistant professor, re- cently toured Japan with Tennessee on Tour, which she also helped cho- reograph. Leland Allsbrook, assistant professor, is in training to compete in a triathlon. Being the only departrpent on cam- pus to sponsor a student-faculty fo- rum, the Home Economics Depart- ment allows its students to take an ac- tive part in the learning process. The department is no longer the traditional kitchen home economics. The de- partment now offers career opportuni- ties in research laboratories, industry, foreign service and other fields. Ac- cording to Dr. Joyce Harrison, the de- partment is no longer stitching and stewing. This year the Psychology Depart- ment saw more and more students be- coming involved in faculty research projects. The students and faculty also stayed busy applying their skills to benefit the community. They staffed the counseling laboratory in Peck Hall that provides marriage and family counseling, student counseling, and testing of children. Several students also do volunteer work in local nursing homes. Others receive practicum cred- it for their work with various indus- tries. Two significant events marked this year for the Department of Youth Education and School Personnel Ser- vices. It was the second year of the state ' s Better Schools Program and this was the theme of the department ' s 42nd annual education conference. This year was also the first year of the state-wide and university-wide devel- opmental studies program, in which the department plays an important role. 86 — Academics Opposite: Katherine Strobel (center) teaches modern dance to her HPER class.

Academics - 91 School Of Liberal Arts The Art Department began using their new gallery across from the grill in Keathley University Center for the first time in the fall of this year. The gallery is used to display the artwork of graduating seniors. The department also displayed the art of several promi- nent artists from across the country in their gallery in the Art Barn. The English Department serves as a main area of concentration because all MTSU students must successfully complete four semesters in the depart- ment. They boast of majors that are active both inside and outside of the department. We have several students working with the student publications and are quite proud of them, says Dr. Frank Ginanni, department chairman. We continue to, as we have, have the stu- dent ' s academic interests as top prior- ity. We work hard and quietly to fulfill the need of our students. This spring the Foreign Languages Department sponsored a special French Festival for about 450 high school students studying the language. They also sponsored several evening parties to allow MTSU students to get together with others studying the same languages and converse — no English allowed. Professor Ortrum Gilbert, a favorite with language students, re- tired this year. According to Dr. Ralph Fullerton, the Geography and Geology Depart- ment is the leader in Tennessee. The department is proud of its modern fa- cilities for viewing the state ' s land area from 500 miles into space. Fullerton says that the university ' s support has enabled them to give students space- aged knowledge. The History Department continues to be active in the Center of Exellence and Historic Preservation that was opened last year. The department of- fered two new scholarships for the first time this fall. Graduate student Thel- ma Jennings and undergraduate Ear- nest Hooper were the first to receive the new scholarships. The main objective of the Music Department is preparing students to teach music in both elementary and secondary schools, with either a choral or instrumental concentration. The de- partment sponsors about 95 recitals and concerts a year to expose their students to the various styles and disci- plines of musical performance. Dr. Tom Naylor, department chairman, says that our department is a show- case for the university because of our visibility to the public, and it is very important that our concerts be of the highest quality. The Philosophy Department offers students a chance to learn about an important area of liberal arts. Stu- dents learn philosophical methods, sys- tems and problems, as well as back- 92 — Academics Oppobile: Art students work on a project outside the Art Barn.

The department also offers courses in religious studies. The Political Science Department houses a faculty that continues to be active in a number of areas. Dr. Esther Seeman is the director of the Japan Center. Dr. Frank Essex is in charge of the program that provides internships in the state legislature for political sci- ence majors. Dr. Mario Perez-Reilly has written articles published in sever- al magazines, in the spring semester, the department invited seven alumni back to MTSU to lecture to classes about their experiences in the field of political science. These lectures were a part of the Homecoming ' 86 cele- bration in Tennessee. The Department of Sociology, An- thropology and Social Work spon- sored a lecture series entitled Current Crises in Marriage and Family this year. The series, funded by a grant from the University Public Service Committee, explored current changes in the nature and form of male-female relations and the institutions of mar- riage and family. The department also offered two new courses this year: The Life Cycle and The Sociology of Country Music. Several faculty members are involved in research, in- cluding Robert Rucker, who has re- ceived a grant for his work in bioeth- ics, and Carole Caroll and Faye John- son, who are working together in inves- tigating and analyzing changes brought to Middle Tennessee by the new General Motor ' s Saturn plant to be built in Spring Hill. The Department of Speech and Theatre presented four major plays this year, including a musical version of The Robber Bridegroom in the spring. They cooperated with the Re- cording Industry Management pro- gram to produce a record of their musical. Speech students continued to serve the community and gain exper- ience through the hearing clinic. The university ' s debate team made this year their rebuilding year, a time to actively seek to get more people in- volved in their activities.

Academics — 107 How Has MTSU Changed Since They Were Students Staff AJuwni Look Back When I was a student at MTSU (1953-56) it seemed to me that there were fewer distrac- tions from the most important job that stu- dents have. In my opinion, the most important job students have is thinking — thinking about the content of their courses in perspective to their lives and to other courses. Thinking about coursework outside of c ass seems to me a disappearing art. I hope that 1 am wrong. — Roy Clark, professor of chemistry and phys- ics, B.S., 1957, MTSC This year, 1 985-86, marks the thirtieth anniversary of my first year at Middle Tennessee State College. Along with the name change from MTSC to MTSU, the school has experienced ex- pansion of physical facilities, fivefold increase in student enroll- ment and diversification of faculty and curriculum, as well as conversion from quarters to semesters. Amid these changes two features remain the same — the warm and friendly atmosphere created by students and faculty and the univer- sity ' s commitment to excellence. Perhaps is should also be noted that remaining un- changed after 30 years is Dr. Parchment ' s great sense of humor. — Sarah Barlow, biology instructor, M.A. 1963, MTSU Tammie Word, senior, studies in the Student Publications Department. Studying is definitely one thing that has not changed for MTSU students over the years. David Dombrowsici speaks to student Craig Bann after the conclusion of his contemporary recording class. In 1965, when I became a member of the library faculty, it was the custom of the university to intro- duce all new faculty at a Sunday afternoon tea. I remember standing in line (until my feet hurt) and shaking hands with hundreds of people. Students ' appearances have changed from clean- shaven faces to beards and long hair for men. Women and men dressed more neatly and were not allowed to wear shorts to class. They respected authority and were not rude to teachers. Freshmen were not allowed to have cars on campus. — Ida Read, catalog librarian, M.A., 1959, MTSC Academics Probably the social and physical changes at MTSU can be equated with those taking place off campus. Even the ability and motivation of students may not differ much in the eighties from in my decade of the forties. The most striking change that I see is the inability of today ' s student to enjoy college life as we did. There must be many reasons for that, but it seems apparent to me — the thrill is not there. — Joe E. Nunley, director of alumni relations, B.S., 1947, MTSC When I came here as a freshmen, the university was known as State Teacher ' s College. Most of the students were from the Middle Tennessee area, although we had a few from other places. The main entrance was off of Tennessee Boulevard where the stone entrances are, the Old Main was the center of activity. We had compulsory chapel and the roll was checked. This building housed the bookstore, the post office, all the administrative offices and many of the classes. There were no iron handrails on the front steps, but it was the center of activity, where students congregated to make plans for the evening and so on. — Zadie Key, secretary of the school of basic and applied sciences, B.S., 1941, MTSU My 35-year association with MTSU has been marked by noticeable changes, some to my liking and some not. The university has experienced growth, not just physically, but in the quality of its ever-expanding opportu- nities. I think that the one thing that has been lost that can never be recaptured is the sense of community. Great size is its deadly enemy. — David Singer, professor of youth educa- tion and school personnel services, B.S., 1955, M.A., 1958, MTSC David Dombrowski, an instructor in the RIM program, lecture his contemporary recording increased over the years, alona with the variety of curricula.

Johnny can ' t do math. Plummetting SAT scores marked a de- cline in American education. Stories about America ' s illiterate and incompetent public school graduates could always be found. MTSU has decided to do its part to change that. The Developmental Studies program, in its first year of existence, is part of a statewide emphasis on educational reform. Incoming fresh- men who are deficient in basic skills are placed in the program in order to increase their chances for success in college. The Developmental Studies program consists of courses below the freshman level in math, English, reading, and study skills. No student is required to take all the courses; placement in the Developmental Studies program is dependent on how a student scores on the ACT and other placement tests. Approximately 650 students are enrolled in writing courses, 600 in reading, 400 in studies skills, and 1,300 in math courses, according to William Connelly, director of the Developmental Studies program. They may have to spend a semester in one or two of the courses before they can enter regular curriculum courses, he said. Many opportunties are available for students in the program to help improve their academic skills. 110 — Academics Opposite top: Freshman Brigitte Lee works to improve her reading slcilis in the Reading Improvement Center.

It is staffed by graduate teaching assistants in the English department, who assist students with problems in writing essays, term papers, or any other problem they may be having in their classes. The Math Lab, operated by the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, aids stu- dents enrolled in remedial and developmental mathematics courses, plus those in MATH 141, College Algebra. Due to the large number of students in developmental mathematics courses, it is familiar to many freshmen. The Reading Improvement Center, under the aegis of the Department of Elementary and Spe- cial Education, is for students who need to im- prove their reading skills. Most students must put 50 hours per semester in the center. An inter- est inventory, given to students, helps the center stock interesting reading material. According to director Jane Poole, If they read something that interests them, they are more likely to read. With the advent of the Developmental Studies program and a renewed emphasis on quality edu- cation, the public school system can avoid the social tragedy of Johnny. — Michael R. Turner Academics Project HELP Teaches Tots To Learn There are many ways in which MTSU and its various departments serve the surrounding community. Project HELP is one such effort. Project HELP (Help Educate Little People) is directed by Special Educa- tion Professor Ann Campbell, and its aim is helping pre-school children who are developmentally delayed — that is, they have not progressed as far in areas such as speech, behavior, and learning ability as is normally expect- ed of children their age. The range of disabilities is not limited to any specif- ic area, however. According to Priscil- la Van Tries, one of two faculty mem- bers teaching in the program. Project HELP will accept any disabled child under four years old and living in Rutherford County, if that child can benefit from being in the program. Project HELP has been in existence for two and a half years. According to Campbell, the community had worked for two or three years to try to get something like this going before she and Karen Jones, who shares teaching duties with Van Tries, laid the groundwork necessary to make the project a reality. Before Project HELP, (the par- ents ' ) only alternative was to drive to Nashville four days a week, Van Tries says, adding that this was often very difficult for them. Twenty-three children are currently enrolled in the program: a morning class of eight taught by Jones and an afternoon class of six taught by Van Tries. The remainder of the children receive home visits from Jones or Van Tries until they are able to enter a classroom situation. The class room itself is just the sort one would expect to find in a normal pre-school or kindergarten. There are plenty of books most of us remember from our own childhood, numerous toys, a miniature kitchen complete with a variety of tiny utensils and other typical furnishings. The emphasis is on a stimulating environment that is not restrictive, where children learn on a level more basic than that of a stan- dard pre-school, and where each child ' s specific areas of delay are ad- dressed. It ' s like a lot of pre-schools, says Van Tries, only more structured and more individualized because the needs are so varied. Jones ' morning class, for example, learns to cut, draw straight lines, and (match) colors and shapes, while the afternoon class learns how to sit in a group, listen to a (reading from) a book, play with others and share, ac- cording to Van Tries. Project HELP not only reaches out to help those in the community, but also serves a very important function within the university framework, as well. it evolved out of a community in- terest . . . but at the same time ... (it is) very beneficial to our training pro- gram, Campbell says. As part of their coursework, many students in special education, elemen- tary education, early childhood devel- opment, psychology and social work serve as student helpers for the pro- ject ' s classroom sessions. During the fall, 150 students participated. Their work is extremely helpful, says Van Tries, noting that student participation enables the center to work on skills on a one-to-one basis. Are some students reluctant? It is a 112 — Academics Opposite: Project HELP volunteer Michelle BoisVert reads with Elizabeth, one of the little people. Top left: Kay Wilbanks helps Eric learn.

In fact, Van Tries says, these students of- ten turn out to be the best at helping the children. — Tim Selby — photos by Angela Lewis (§ak (M Q,mk ( kl QO ( ot . . thletics Taken from the June 1912 bulletin of the Middle Tennessee State Normal School: The policy of the Normal School will be fa vora ble to the development of a sane and wholesome athletic spirit among the students, and to this end will lend encouragement in t he way of providing regular scheduled games with other schools of good reputation.

Take a look at us now! 115 11-0: It ' s Been One Hell Of A Season! After a perfect 1 1-0 OVC season, the Blue Raiders charged into their first NCAA Division I-AA game against Georgia Southern with high hopes for a na- tional champsionship. A 28-21 loss to Southern dashed those hopes. Nevertheless, MTSU ' s first OVC championship in 20 years, a long string of broken records, and eight All-OVC players still add up to one helluva season. On September 7, 1985 the MTSU Blue Raiders, aided by many new players and a few had seen action before, started their quest for the championship with a good win over Lenoir-Rhyne from Hickory, North Carolina. Little Robert Alford first put the match to the Raider gun powder that night. The 5 ' 11 , 177-pound kick returner took the opening kick-off and decided that he wasn ' t going to stop until he crossed the goal line 93 yards down field. So down the left sideline he went to give the Blue Raiders a 6-0 lead. The extra- point from freshman place-kicker Dick Martin was successful. wSIft y 116 Football Opposite page, bottom: Jubilant Blue Raiders express their enthusiasm by tearing down the goalposts after the final game of the regular season, against Tech.

Lenoir-Rhyne, in their first possession, tore through the Blue Raider defensive secondary. They were able to get to the Raider 5 yard line. After a 5-yard penalty and two great defensive plays, Lenoir-Rhyne was forced to settle for a 40 yard field goal. On their next possession, the Raiders did nothing. Place-kicker Martin was called on to try a 52-yard field goal, but the ball fell 3-yards short. On Lenoir-Rhyne ' s possession the Raider defense kept the Bears right where they were and they had to punt. The Raiders took a fair catch at their 1 1-yard line and from there drove to the Lenoir-Rhyne 7-yard line. Be- hind freshman center Doug Hintemeyer, senior tailback Tony Burse, and junior quarterback Kurt Barnes, the Raider offense ate through the Bears ' defense and scored on a 7-yard Dwight Stone run. Dick Martin ' s extra point try was good, leaving the score 14-3. On Lenoir-Rhyne ' s next possession they drove through the Raider defense again, but were stopped at the Raider 20-yard line. The Bears thus settled for a 30-yard field goal that made the score 14-6. At half time the score was the same and the Lenoir- Rhyne Bears had scored all their points for the night. The second half was all Blue. Dwight Stone, a 6-foot, 195-pound, first-year tailback for the Raiders, ran the ball 12 times- for 139 yards and three touchdowns. This How The Raiders Fared In 1985 Opponent Score Lenoir-Rhyne 36-6 Georgia Southern 35-10 Jacksonville State 55-21 Morehead State 33-14 Eastern Kentuclcy 28-14 Murray State 31-24 Austin-Peay 17-14 Youngstown State 28-21 Western Kentucky 41-9 Akron 17-0 Tennessee Tech 45-12 Georgia Southern 21-28 Football — 117 included another 7-yard run and a 55-yard scoring streak. He did this behind Tony Burse, second year tailback Ceroid Anderson, and switching quarterbacks Mar- vin Collier and Kurt Barnes. The final score: MTSU 36 and Lenoir-Rhyne 6. In the second game of the year. Collier, MTSU ' s freshman quar- terback, made his triumphant re- turn to South Georgia and put on a show for the home folks. In his first-year collegiate start, the Cordele, Ga. native passed for one touchdown and ran 54 yards for another. His touchdown pass was the first score of the game and came with 9:25 remaining in the second quarter. From the 6, Collier rolled right, stopped, and fired back across the field hitting tight end Donte Lofton in stride in the left side of the end zone. That touchdown was set up by Georgia Southern quarterback Tracy Hams ' fumble at the GSU 42 yard line. It took seven plays — including an 11 -yard Collier run — to score. MTSU ' s defense struck again minutes later when Southern at- tempted to punt from its own 27- yard line with 35 seconds remain- ing in the half. Raider linebacker Roosevelt Colvard got a hand on the punt, blocking it out of bounds at the Eagle 10. On second and 10, tailback Anderson took a pitch to the left side and attempted to pass to flanker Garret Self. Pass interfer- ence was called on Southern de- fensive back Milton Gore, giving MTSU the ball at the 2 with 25 seconds remaining. From there it took one play, an Anderson han- doff up the middle, to put MTSU ahead 14-3. The Raiders scored again un- der Barnes on the first play of the fourth quarter. Defensive end John Garrett gave MTSU the ball when he intercepted. Faced with a third down and 15 after a sack, Barnes tossed a perfect over-the-shoulder pass to Mike Pittman in the end zone. Though 18 Football covered well, Pittman came down with the ball for the score. MTSU ' s inability to run the ball successfully was surprising. Tailbacks Anderson and Stone, ranked second and sixth in the nation, were held to 48 and 1 3 yards against Georgia Southern. Southern, which had the third-best rushing attack in the nation last year, could only gain 146 yards in 40 tried against MTSU. All in all, MTSU had 289 total yards, while Georgia Southern had 286. The final score: MTSU 35 and Georgia Southern 10. The Blue Raiders, led by freshman quarterback Marvin Collier, coasted to their third victory of the 1985 season, on September 21, when they convincing- ly beat Jacksonville State University. Collier and the offensive unit wasted no time taking the first posses- sion and marching the length of the field to score just three minutes into the contest. Raider tailback Ander- son gallopped 40 yards up the middle to give the Blue a 7 to advantage. Junior fullback Burse s howed impressive running ability and scored the Raiders second touchdown on an 18-yard blast up the middle. The touchdown run was set up by a blocked field-goal attempt by Raider defensive player Vince Johnson. But the Blue Raiders were just getting warmed up. Derrick Warren, a third-string cornerback, intercept- ed a Gamecock pass and ran down the sidelines for a 46-yard touchdown. The fourth and fifth scores took place when quarterback Collier threw two touchdown strikes to sophomore speedster Robert Alford, one 55- yarder and the other for 19 yards. Collier ran for a touchdown in the second quarter, trotting in from 2 Football yards out. The Blue Raiders went to the locker room leading 42-7 at the half. In the third quarter MTSU added two touchdowns, Anderson scoring a second time and tailback Stone scoring on a 2-yard drive to up the score 55-7. Jack- sonville State was finally able to penetrate the MTSU B team defense and score twice in the third period. Playing in the first half only, Collier scored three touchdowns before being replaced by back-up quar- terback Marty Euverard. On what was supposed to be a challenging night, the Blue Raiders accumulated 207 yards rushing and 138 in the air for 345 yards of total offense. Gamecock stats were not turned in. The final score: MTSU 55 and JSU 21. Left was right for MTSU in the Blue Raiders ' fourth game, an easy victory over the Morehead State Eagles. On four carries to the left side in the second quarter, MTSU picked up 194 yards and four touch- downs — including three scores in a span of three minutes and 28 seconds — to put the game out of the Eagles ' reach. Quarterback Collier opened the second quarter, scoring on a 49-yard run around the left side. Raider fullback Burse scored his second touchdown of the year on a 63-yard run through the left side. The fourth score of the quarter was courtesy of reserve tailback Stone, who also went around the left side. At half time the Blue Raiders held a 27-0 lead. In the second half, the Blue scored only once. An- . 1 20 — Football derson scored on a 2-yard third quarter run. He had 44-yards on 18 attempts against Morehead. His final touchdown turned out to be the only points the Raid- ers would need. Coach Boots Donnelly gave most of the credit to offensive left-side linemen Larry Picket and Steve Spurling, who opened holes on all four runs. The final score: MTSU 33 and Morehead 14. Eastern Kentucky, the OVC coaches ' pre-season pick to win everything, suffered their first conference defeat of the year at the hands of the Blue Raiders Anderson scored on the Blue Raiders ' first possession when he went untouched into the Colonel end zone. The Blue Raiders were able to get across the Colo- nels front line in the second quarter on a 1-yard dive by Dwight Stone and later in the quarter on a 9-yard pass reception by Pittman. The Blue Raiders went into the locker room at half time leading 21 to 0. The Colonels stole a touchdown from the Raiders with a little more than a minute left in the third quarter. The Colonels did this with a 63-yard pass completion followed by a Colonel quarterback 11- yard keeper. The Blue Raiders responded immediately with a 43-yard pass completion for a touchdown to Alford. EKU managed one more touchdown, but there were more than enough points on the board for the Raiders to seal the win. The final score: MTSU 28 and Eastern Kentucky 14. At first, the game against Murray State University looked like it might be another Blue Raider runaway. On Murray ' s first possession they were forced to punt. Vince Johnson blocked the punt to give MTSU an early lead. But Murray State went to work scoring 14 fairly fast points and going into half time with a 14 to 10 lead. It was the first time all year that MTSU had been behind in a game. The Raider defense only gave up 3 points in the second half. With four seconds left, the defense start- ed ruling things again. John Garrett ' s block of a Mur- ray field goal gave the Raiders the ball first down at the Racer 45. With 2:45 left in the game, the MTSU offense finally kicked into gear. It took just five plays for the Raiders to score. On second and goal at the 9, Collier bootlegged right and found a wide open Lofton in the corner of the end zone. Martin added the extra point to knot the score at 17 all with 1:29 to play — a tie that would have to be broken during overtime. MTSU won th toss and opted to go on defense first. Starting from the Raider ' s 25, it took Murray six plays to make their last touchdown of the day. On first down Collier found Burse in the right flat, and the junior fullback took the ball up the sideline to the 4. Tailback Stone then took a quick-pitch left and cut upfield for the score. In the second overtime, the Raiders got the ball first Football — 121 r v 122 — Football r and wasted no time. Collier hit flanker Pittman near the left sideline, and the sophomore dodged one de- fender and took the ball in for the score. Pittman led the Raider receiving corps with five receptions for 89 yards. The defense provided the opportunity, and the of- fense seized it. said coach Donnelly. The defense won the game for us. The final score: MTSU 31 and Murray 24. Marvin Collier threw a touchdown pass that went to Robert Alford, a 78-yarder that opened the scoring in the first quarter of the game against Austin Peay State University. Dick Martin added a 37-yard field goal in the sec- ond quarter and Kevin Baker scored on a 1-yard dive in the fourth. APSU trailed 17-7 until late in the fourth quarter when the Govs scored on a drive that began at their own 42. The good field position was set up by Todd Herndon ' s 23-yard punt return. The final play of the drive was a 1 5-yard pass from quarterback Dale Edwards to flanker Mike Williams. The Blue Raiders began their ensuing drive from the 25, where Collier kept on first down for 4 yards. But on second down, an attempted pass was deflected at the line of scrimmage. APSU caught the deflection thus giving the Govs the football at the Raider 29 with 3:19 remaining in the contest. APSU got the ball to the MTSU 4 with just over two minutes to win the game. The Govs sent the ball over the top twice only to fumble on the fourth down to give the Raiders a 7-0 mark and a 4-0 mark in the conference. As for the Raiders performance in the game, junior fullback Tony Burse said, It comes down to this, we ' re just not playing like a Middle Tennessee football team ought to be playing. Coach Donnelly didn ' t even give the effort that much credit, despite the win. The final score: MTSU 17 and Austin Peay 14. The first half of the game against Youngstown State University was a defensive battle, with the only score by either team coming with 55 seconds left in the second quarter. Raider quarterback Collier hit senior receiver Ray Palhegyi with a 24-yard pass for the first score of the game. On Youngstown ' s next possession. Raider defensive end Bob Moorehead intercepted a pass from the Pen- guin quarterback in the end zone, thwarting a Youngstown score. With seven seconds to go in the first half, Raider Dick Martin missed a 41 -yard field goal, sending the Raiders to the locker room with a 7-0 halftime lead. Penguin Lykes threw a pass to tailback Robert Thompson, tying the score in the third quarter. With 57 seconds remaining, the Penguins obtained a 14-7 advantage. Early in the fourth quarter.

Kicker Martin hit the extra point, tying the score again at 14-14, and also tying former Raider kicker Kelly Potter ' s record for the most extra points kicked in a season. The score was still tied at the end of regulation play, so the Raiders played overtime for the second time this year. The Penguins struck first blood, scoring on a six- play drive in overtime. The Raiders poetically put together a six-play touchdown drive of their own. Still tied, the game entered a second overtime period. MTSU started out on offense, and things looked pretty sour for the Raiders. They started on the Pen- guin ' s 25-yard line, but found themselves backed up to the 50-yard line following a Raider penalty and a sack which resulted in a 9-yard loss. Luckily, Collier connected with junior fullback Burse to get the ball back to the 13-yard line. Burse ' s catch, which was good for 37 yards, gave the Raiders new life with a first down. Three plays later, the crowd was in a frenzy when Stone took the ball in from the 8-yard line. This was his second touchdown of the day. Martin ' s extra point gave the Raiders the lead again. Youngstown had the chance to tie up again after the Raider scoring drive, but after only two plays. Thomp- son fumbled the ball and a jubilant Roosevelt Colvard recovered, handing his team a 5-0 record in the OVC and the number one spot in the division I-AA ranking. The final score: MTSU 28 and Youngstown 21. The game between the Blue Raiders and the West- ern Kentucky University Hilltoppers was billed as the test of the year for the Raiders. But it turned out to be an easy victory and the first MTSU game to be finished within regulation time in quite a while. By halftime, MTSU had already racked up a 27-0 lead, highlighted by Palhegy ' s 25-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter. In the same quarter, senior Kevin Baker pulled off a 19-yard touchdown run. The Raiders continued to blaze through the second half. Tailback Stone scored the final touchdown of the day from 2 yards out, with one minute remaining in the game. The final score: MTSU 41 and Western Kentucky 9. It was the battle for the Ohio Valley Conference. Akron had never won a conference title and they had been playing football for 70 years. The Blue Raiders had not won a conference since 1965, the last year that MTSU head coach Donnelly was a player on the team. The Blue Raiders were going against the more powerful Akron Zips. Though MTSU was ranked number one in the NCAA Division I-AA college polls, the Associated Press fa- vored Akron by one. On the third down of their first drive, Zip quarter- back Vernon Stewart threw into traffic, and Blue Raider cornerback Buford picked off the tipped pass and returned it 15 yards to the Akron 19. Unfortu- nately, the Zip defense held MTSU to 3 yards on three plays. In comes Martin, to try a 34-yard field goal. The Blue Raiders, with only 2:50 gone in the game, ba gged a tRree-point lead. On the Raider ' s next offensive scheme, quarterback Collier broke loose for a 48-yard gain to set up the team ' s first touchdown. On fourth and one, Anderson took the ball over the top for the score with 3:38 left in the first quarter. On second and two at the 38, Collier started right, then cut upfield, picked up a block from Burse and burst into the open field. From there it was just a matter of seconds before the score was 17-0. Akron threatened to score near the end of the first half. On first and goal at the 2, Zip tailback Mike Clark carried the ball up the defensive gut where he was greeted by Raiders. The ball shot out of his hands, into the end zone, where Bob Moorhead recovered. In the end, MTSU shot down Akron ' s ground game featuring OVC rushing leader Clark, limiting the Zips to 76-yards rushing, 152 yards below their average. Clark, who was doubtful for the game with an ankle sprain, was held to 38 yards rushing, far below his seasonal average of 137 yards. When Akron was forced to go to the air, the Blue Raiders intercepted the Zips seven times. The seven snares tied the OVC single-game record and broke the school record for a single game. MTSU then had 24 interceptions for the season. MTSU, 126 — Football ranked number one in NCAA Division I-AA, had secured its berth in the playoffs. The final score: MTSU 17 and Akron 0. The final game of the season was, as usual, saved for arch rival Tennessee Tech. Most people say that when this game rolls around, the coaches can throw out their record books. For their last few meetings, MTSU has held the superior record. This year was no different, but Tech could not be taken lightly. The bad taste of the 1983 upset by Tech, ending the playoff hopes of the Blue Raiders, still lingered with MTSU seniors. Tech won the toss, but could do nothing with the ball, and the Blue Raider defense held them like a brick wall. The Raiders then struck as Don Giffin fielded Tech ' s punt near the right hash mark, and cut to his left. Griffin picked up a good lead block by linebacker Colvard and cut upfield. Griffin went up the left sideline untouched for the first of many Blue Raider touchdowns that day. The Raiders continued the scoring with a methodical 80-yard drive capped by a 1-yard plunge up the two-point conversion on an option right. Collier faked the dive to Burse and Tech committed to the inside move, while Collier trotted into the end zone. The Raiders led 14-0 with 4:22 left in the first quarter. Anderson scored a second touchdown from 9 yards out in the second quarter, and Martin added a 42-yard field goal, to give the Raiders a 24- halftime lead. Stone scored on a spinning 1 3-yard burst in the third and added a 40- N yard touchdown scamper on the first play of the fourth quarter. Floyd Walker scored late on a 5-yard sweep, to round out MTSU ' s scoring barrage. Stone led all rushers with 106 yards on eight carries, while Anderson ran for 83 yards on 19 attempts, most of them in the first half. On a record-setting Saturday for the Blue Raiders, Collier broke the OVC mark for yards rushed by a quarterback. He rushed for 14 yards to bring his seasonal total to 594. The final score: MTSU 45 and Tennessee Tech 12. — Richard Hunt Foolbali — 127 1986 Basketball Outlook Raiders: Ready For Action • ' We ' ve got more depth, more quickness, more jumpers, more runners — we ' ve got more athletes, MTSU men ' s basketball coach Bruce Stewart said in February. If we play to our potential, there are no teams in the OVC that can keep us from winning the conference outright. The Blue Raiders were hard to stop last year, and they ' re really slammin ' and jammin ' this year. Players returning for another round include senior guard Kim Cooksey, who averaged 17.3 points per game and made first-team All-OVC as well as honorable mention in the Associated Press ' AU-American selection. Sophomore Kerry Hammonds led the team in rebounds last year with an average of 8.0 rebound points per game and a 13.8 total points-per-game average. Also returning in ' 86 is senior guard forward James Johnson. He posted a 5.8 scoring average and took down 4.3 rebounds per game, while rack- ing up team-leading totals of 121 assists and 63 steals. The leading newcomers in 1986 are all transfers. Sopho- more Tyrus Baynham is a sharp-shooting forward. Dwayne Jlainey, weighing in at 260 prounds, knows how to make his presence fell. Point guard Duane Washington looks ready to challenge for the starting point assignment. Jimmy McGill has quite a reputation as a shot blocker and Andrew Tunstill is known as a solid, all-around player. The Blue Raiders also have their four-year people com- ing in. They include Lee Campbell, Randy Henry, Mike Messerly, Kemble Smith and Gerald Harris. If the Blue Raiders can work themselves through the annual mid-season drought, they may be able to win yet another OVC regular-season crown and host the majority of the OVC tournament. If all goes as planned. Coach Stewart will put MTSU basketball on the map to stay. 128 — Athletics k Wf i Ci 130 — Alhlclic f m V Micr Athletics — 133 85-86 Blue Raiders No. Name Position 00 Tyrus Baynham Guard — Forward 3 Kemble Smith Guard 4 Duane Washington Guard 5 Mike Messerly Forward - — Guard 14 Gerald Harris Guard 20 Lee Campbell Forward 22 Kim Cooksey Guard 30 Andrew Tunstill Guard — Forward 32 James Johnson Guard — Forward 34 Randy Henry Forward — Center 42 Kerry Hammonds Forward 44 Jimmy McGill Center — - Forward 50 Billy Miller Forward — Center 52 Dwayne Rainey Center 134 — Athletics .- i Howard Ross Bill McClary Mighty Blue Raiders! 4 Very Good Year! Lady Raiders Go For Four 1986 Basketball Outlook After working wonders in the 1984-85 season with only eight players, the 1985-86 women ' s basketball team re- ceived the gift of depth. With a team of thirteen women, the Lady Raiders stand a good chance of being an even better team than last year, when they won the OVC title for the third time in a row. But the Lady Raiders will have to contend with the loss of two of last year ' s sparkplugs: Jennifer McFall and Alice Lawrence. The addition of some talented freshmen should help the team deal with these losses, however. Freshman Lisa Davis, an All-State guard in high school, could bring needed speed to MTSU. She averaged nearly 20 points per game in her final two high school seasons. Another fresh- man, Tawanya Mucker, also averaged almost 20 points per game in high school. These two will be important in taking up the slack left by McFall and Lawrence. Another newcomer, Lori Gross, is also expected to be a real asset to the team. Gross helped lead Vanderbilt to the National Women ' s Invitational title two years ago. Her sharp-shooting should be a big boost for the Lady Raiders. And of course there are plenty of talented runners to complete the field. Cyndi Lindley, who averaged 8.9 points and 5.6 rebounds per game as a junior two years ago, should enhance the Raider game both offensively and de- fensively. Junior Kim Webb has more than proven herself as an MTSU basketball player. She hit more than 57 percent of her field goal attempts last year on the way to an 18.1 -point scoring average and 5.7 rebound average. Last year she led the team with 80 steals and was third in assists with 110. Janet Ross is a backcourt whiz, and she has show steady improvement since last year. She posted a team-leading 124 assists and had a .528 field goal percentage. Last year ' s sophomore sen- sation, Kay Willbanks, is also back. She aver- aged 15.8 points and 7.8 rebounds per game last year and hit 53.4 of her field goal attempts. And depth from the bench should be no prob- lem with three proven returners and three talent- ed freshmen rounding out the team. It looks like another championship year for the Lady Raiders. f 3 Jt=ii 138 Athletics Athletics — 139 140 — Athletics Athletics — 141 142 — Athletics Athletics — 143 144 — Athletics Athletics — 145 146 — Athletics Athletics — 147 Athletics k M ftnUftzTikW fiis W Wayn e Canwrigh Going The Distance Coach Terry Edmondson and his 1985 women ' s cross country team showed marked improvement this year, and the young team finished a strong fourth in the OVC conference. According to Coach Edmondson, his team of Blue Raiders did very well and met all obstacles. They proved that they could be real contenders in the OVC. Though women ' s cross country is still a fairly new program, they have an abundance of determina- tion and talent to build on. In the fall season, Joan Becker, a sophomore, was the top runner and also probably the most improved run- ner, Edmondson said. Pam Gallimore was set back by an injury, but she shows definite potential. Krista Carr has improved quickly because of her winning attitude. Karen Johnston and Debra Morrison were also strong run- ners in the fall. MTSU men ' s cross country coach Dean Hayes said the team saw very little action in the fall of 1985. The team was plagued by injuries that kept some of the best runners from compet- ing. Mark Byrne did place 25th in the OVC cross country championship, however. — Richard Hunt Athletics — 149 Running Rings Around The Competition MTSU men ' s track, as usual, was the squad to beat in 1985 in both in- door and outdoor competition. In the 1985 OVC track championship, the Blue Raiders won 13 of the 18 events. They won: the 100 meters, 200 meter s, 400 meters, 5,000 meters, 10,000 me- ters, high hurdles, intermediate hur- dles, 400-meter relay, 1,600-meter re- lay, long jump, high jump, shop put, and the javelin. Dwight Jackson was elected the 1985 OVC Track Man of the Year. He was also an Ail-American for the year in the long jump. He was credited with the ninth longest long jump by a colle- giate jumper with 26 feet and 6V2 inches. Malcolm Branham was selected by The Athletics Congress to the Na- tional Junior Track Team. In the 1985 SEMOTION Relays in Missouri, the MTSU men won the shuttle hurdle, the 400-meter relay, the 800-meter relay and the four-mile relay. After that, the Blue Raiders ran past the Murray State Racers in dual meet, 101-44. Coming into their final winter sea- son, the MTSU track team had seven indoor and outdoor track champion- ships in a row under their belts. And Coach Dean Hayes predicted another winning season. For 1986, runners that will be de- pended on in relay action are senior Perald Ellis and James Duhart. Ellis and Duhart qualified for the NCAA meet championships in 1985. Both Dale Rhodes and Bobby Ellis are very capable runners in the 1,600-meter re- lay. Blue Raider runners for the 400- meter relay will be Dwight Johnson, Bobby Ellis, Malcolm Branham and Mike Pittman. Deric Haynes is the team ' s number one hurdler and the top returner in the OVC hurdles. Sean Smith, a sophomore, will be the team ' s top high jumper, having cleared 7 feet. The three distance runners will be Mark Byrne, Jerry Malone and Danny Green. Steve McQuiston is a four-time winner in the OVC shot put. Coach Hayes says that MTSU was strong in quality runners for the 1986 indoor and outdoor track season, though the quantity was down. No re- cruiting was done for this season be- cause it will be the team ' s last. Hayes was looking for just one more cham- pionship season. Spring 1986 women ' s track will benefit from some fine return runners. Sherry Bingham won the long jump and the triple jump at the 1985 OVC indoor meet. Bingham and another sophomore. Angle Allison, boast all- OVC honors. Ursula Langford, a freshman, shows exciting potentioal, according to Coach Terry Edmond- son. Karen Farmer is expected to per- form well in the javelin, discus and shot-put events. The primary distance runner for 1986 will be Joan Becker. In the spring season, the lady track- sters will come up against some of the best track talent in the nation, accord- ing to Edmondson. The freshmen and sophomores will have to learn quickly to survive in this environment, he said, but the outlook is good. — Richard Hunt 150 — Athletics _ flH IEBSSSI 1 ii s__ B BP ' SF Otj BmjC j0 n 1 1 K l l 4v ' ' . Mm I i wm m Athletics — 151 152 — Athletics For The Last Time % During his 21 years at MTSU, Dean Hayes ' record has been truly phenom- enal. His track program here has pro- duced 33 Ail-Americans, two collegiate record holders, two American record holders, three U.S. Olympians and one person that tied a world record. But MTSU officials decided to end the track program this year, and Hayes will soon be moving on. He has already been elected Olympic jumping coach for the 1988 Olympiad. The decision to terminate MTSU ' s track program came after the OVC ' s de- cision to drop track as a championship sport. Two other OVC schools. More- head University and Tennessee Techno- logical University, are also dropping their track programs. Other schools will keep their teams for independent compe- titions. MTSU officials said they would not field a team which cannot play in an OVC championship. So Hayes ' MTSU career will end after this year, and he will leave behind a long list of accomplishments. His program here has earned a spot in the NCAA Top-20 ten times and in the nation ' s NCAA Top- 10 twice. MTSU ' s track team has dominated the OVC for the last ten years. They won the OVC title for nine of the past years. And Hayes ' personal victories have also been numerous. In the summer of 1985 he served as the head coach at the World University Games in Kobe, Japan. He was nominated for president of the Track Coaches Association and honored as the National Coach of the Year in 1981. He has gained world-wide fame among track coaches for his special tech- nique for teaching the triple jump and for his amazing results in that event. His many awards and nationally prominent teams have brought recognition to MTSU for years. — Richard Hunt Athletics 153 154 — Athletics Athletics — 155 Blue Raider Baseball Though they don ' t pull as many spectators as Blue Raider football and basketball, MTSU baseball is an excit- ing university-sanctioned sport. The ' 85 spring season for Coach John Stanford and the Blue Raiders was a little disappointing. The team came in fourth place in the Southern Division of the OVC, they dropped more games than they picked up, and at times the Raiders had good pitching and no hit- ting or vice versa, but they seldom got it all together in one game. One good thing came from the spring season. Coach Stanford was able to see who was going to be a catalyst to the team in the future. And the fall season sup- ported Stanford ' s spring predictions: — Alan Coleburn will be the main power hitter for the team. He will be depended on to hit the long ball when we need it. — Chip Carnes was moved from short stop to second base and showed very strong ability. — Bob Tribbey was moved from third base to left field. He needed some de- fensive work for the Spring ' 86 season, with some balanced improvement he ' ll be a killer. — Anthony Holmes, a junior college transfer, needed to improve at the plate. Other than that, he could play against anyone. — Scott Marcum is another player that is great at defense, but showed that he needed more work at the plate for the Spring ' 86 season. — Tony Hayes turned out to be just like Marcum, good defense but needed work at the plate. — Tim Goff, an all-OVC catcher will start at that position. Substitutes for him will be two players that also play football, Dejuan Bufford and Dick Martin. Coach Stanford said in the fall sea- son he saw all the newcomers to the team. He said the best newcomers that he noticed were Jeff Williams, Chris Whitehead, and Eddy Pye. The coach said the pitching staff was a main cause of concern, but he also said the 156 — Athletics new breed of pitchers that were brought in and trained in the off sea- son and fall should be a welcome sign from last year ' s struggling pitchers. The pitchers that will help the Blue Raider baseball barrageg are: Steve Sonneburger, Greg Johnson, Garl Fu- gitt, Chris Norton, Dave Richardson, and Troy Thompson (a lefty who showed great improvement in the fall). The Blue Raiders for the Spring ' 86 have three new pitchers: Steve Peck, Brad Smith and Allen Correll. All in all, the fall season vast im- provement from Spring ' 85 but re- vealed problems that needed to be ironed out for ' 86. The areas that needed improvement were the double play cut off and relay throws. Coach Stanford said that if these areas could be corrected, the Blue Raider baseball program can be as competitive nation- ally as it was just four short years ago in the NCAA Division I-A college ranks. — Richard Hunt Top left: Waiting for the ball.

The women played their toughest schedule yet this past season, and they learned a lot about working together as a team. Although the 1985 volley- ball record was a disappointing 5-16, everyone on the team is eligible to return, and the experience they have gained could mean a winning turn around for the 1986 campaign. The 1984-85 team captain, Vicki Clark, was a de- termined leader who really worked to guide her team. She was also an excellent defensive player, as was junior Lori Krier. Linda Davis was one of the main play setters for the volleyball Raiders. The setter ' s 1985-86 Volleyball Team 7 Lori Wilkinson senior hitter, setter 4 Vicki Clark junior outside hitter 12 Lori Krier junior outside hitter 5 Linda Davis sophomore setter 9 Melissa Arms sophomore outside hitter 14 Elisa Putman sophomore hitter 10 Cindy Snyder freshman outside hitter 13 Melinda Sandy freshman middle blocker, hitter 11 Anne Porterfield sophomore hitter job is to read through the defense and set up the offensive plays. Davis has made great progress since her arrival at MTSU. Melissa Arms, a transfer player from Cleveland State in Cleveland, Tenn., brought the team an extra spark during the fall season. Cindy Snyder, another new player, also shows a lot of promise. And Melinda Sandy started almost every game of her year. Elisa Putman, a fine defensive player, saw little action in the season because of a knee injury. Another good player, Anne Porterfield, was redshirted because of an injury last fall. Wayne Cartwrighl 162 Athletics Wayne Cariwnght Athletics — 163 164 — Athletics Athletics — 165 Spirit To Spare This year ' s Blue Raider cheerlead- ing squad did more than prove them- selves at the games — they also proved themselves in major cheerleading competitions. The MTSU cheerleaders placed higher than any other Tennessee school, or any other OVC cheering group, in two competitions. In a com- petition in Memphis, sponsored by the Universal Cheerleading Association, our cheerleaders competed against more than 100 cheerleadering groups from around the nation. The MTSU cheerleaders entered the largest divi- sion in the tournament competition and walked away with first place in the sideline cheering competition and first place in the college fight song compe- tition. They also came in fifth in the standard cheering competition and re- ceived a superior rating in the spirit stick competition. This allwed them to bring the coveted college spirit stick back to MTSU. Several weeks later the cheerleaders competed for the National Cheerlead- ing Award. They were required to send a tape to Memphis of a mock cheering performance. This meant that they had to perform to fake crowd noise and fake football game noises. In a contest sponsored by the Ford Motor Corporation, with more than 50 col- lege cheerleading squads from all over the country competing, the Blue Raid- ers placed fifth overall. And 1986 looks like another busy year for the cheerleaders. They wi ll continue to practice once a week for about two hours. They will present a cheerleader clinic for high schools from across the state. The 1985 cheer- leaders will choose a varsity squad in April for 1986-87. Finally, the Blue Raider cheering squad will publish a cheerleader alumni newsletter to be delivered to former MTSU cheer- leaders on a quarterly basis. — Richard Hunt 166 — Athletics Harrison McCIary 1985-86 Cheerleaders Pam Bohall Lonnie Jarrett Norm Schaaf Robyn Crews Ty Kennon Paul Thomas Kathy Goff Leslie Prude Eric West Candy Hale Reuben Leslie Windram Vince Hargrove San Nicolas Mike Bower Harrison McCIary Athletics — 167 Boots Wants To Stay!! Despite Job Offers From Larger Schools Speculation abounded! Would Middle Tennessee State University Coach Boots Donnelly leave Mur- freesboro to coach at another school? His name was mentioned in Kansas State, Memphis State and even in Vanderbilt coaching positions. News re- ports said Donnelly was interested. Donnelly knocked Kansas State out by denying hearing from the college. Vanderbilt went all out to get Rice Coach Watson Brown to replace former Vandy Coach George Mclntyre, And Boots Don- nelly went to Memphis State to interview for fired Rey Dempsey ' s head coaching position. Donnelly was considered one of the top two candidates for the position. While fans and officials waited for Donnelly ' s decision, the OVC Coach of the Year was thinking about the playoff game with Georgia Southern. Reporters tried to reach Boots for a comment but he would only comment on the playoff game. MTSU lost the playoff game, but fans seemed more concerned that they might lose their coach. Finally, December 18, 1985 Coach Donnelly an- nounced he was staying at MTSU. Donnelly stated he made the right decision for himself, his staff and his family. Hey, Boots, don ' t forget the fans! We were getting pretty anxious with all those rumors flying around. Look at this man ' s track record. The seventh- year coach led his (and our) Blue Raiders to a perfect 1 1-0 regular season, the OVC championship and a post-season berth in the playoffs. He was named OVC Coach of the Year in 1983 and in 1985. MTSU was ranked first in the nation going into the playoffs. Donnelly in his seven seasons as head coach has brought the Blue Raiders record from 1-9 to 11-1. Donnelly was also named top coach in Division I-AA Region 3 for the second year in a row. If Boots had decided to take a coaching position at some other place, a valuable team player would have been lost. Coaches always say that to win games you have to play as a team. Everyone has to work together to make the plays work. Perhaps most people don ' t consider the coach as part of the team, but stop and think about who calls the plays and trains the players to make those plays work. Who motivates the players and lets them know when they ' ve done a good job? The coach does. Where would the team be without such a key play- er? They wouldn ' t be OVC champs without a coach and his staff. — Penny Huston Athletics ' f f f ' 1 1 Hf t r Harvey enjoys an Indian summer in Washington, D.C. Harvey, Come Home! One thing about ole Harvey, he really gets around. Or so it seemed this year, as photographs of the totem pole in front of the White House and messages claiming he was in Florida reached the Sidelines office in November. Middle Tennessee and Tennessee Technological Univer- sity first received Harvey years ago, as a gift from an MTSU alumni who hoped competition for the pole would serve as an outlet for the two schools ' rivalry, which has often resulted in violence and vandalism. Traditionally, the winner of the MTSU TTU football game receives Harvey for a year and displays him in their bookstore. But MTSU ' s 1984 victory over TTU was incomplete, because the coveted trophy was not exchanged. TTU offi- cials claimed that Harvey had been stolen from their book- store. Since then, Harvey ' s location has remained a mystery. The three photographs portraying him in front of the White House, in front of the Washington Monument and in an unknown location with a Tech helmet made the front page of Sidelines. The Oracle, TTU ' s student newspaper, also received pictures of Harvey. Along with the photographs came notes stating that the totem pole was on the campus of Florida State University. These notes were signed the committee of six. Some students speculate that TTU graduates have stolen Harvey and are hiding him in Florida. Others insist that the whole episode is a hoax, and that Harvey is still being held some- where on the Tech campus. Harvey catches some rays in an undisclosed Florida location.

SAE Sigma Alpha Epsilon 178 — Organizations Catholic Center The MTSU Catholic Center pro- vides students with a source of Chris- tian fellowship and activities. The Center is maintained and operated by student officers and committee lead- ers. This year the officers were Don Baker, President; Tonnya Frazier, Vice-President; Kathy Brackin, Trea- surer; and Eileen Wiggs, Secretary. Two weekly events were held at the Center this year. Every Sunday even- ing, students came together to worship at Mass. Many students had an oppor- tunity to participate in Mass by serv- ing as lectors or singing in the folk group. These weekly services were or- ganized by the Liturgy and Music committees. Each Wednesday even- ing, the Spiritual Life committee held a Bible Sharing which helped the stu- dents understand how the Bible relates to their everyday life. The Bible Shar- ing also gave the participants a chance to express and discuss their opinions on current topics. In addition to the weekly events, the Catholic Center also held many other activities. A cookout was held to ac- quaint the incoming freshmen with the Center and all it offers. Many students enjoyed their evenings at the Center as they played volleyball or basketball or watched movies. Parties were held at the Center to celebrate Halloween and Christmas, and the students came to- gether for a Thanksgiving dinner at St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church. Many students participated in the redecoration of the Center this fall as they spent one weekend painting. New carpeting, drapes and kitchen flooring have also been installed as part of the redecoration. When this was complet- ed, an Open House was held for the Catholic Center alumni and the pa- rishioners of St. Rose Church. The main activity sponsored by the Catholic Center is its Search for Christian Maturity program. This pro- gram has been an active and successful part of the Center ' s ministry for the past ten years. Every semester a re- treat weekend is held in the gym at St. Rose Catholic Church. The weekend, which is planned and organized by a group of students, gives many young people an opportunity to discover and reevaluate their faith and meet many new friends. The purpose of the MTSU Catholic Center is to bring students together in Christian activities and fellowship. The Center provides students with a place to relax away from the school atmosphere and a chance to meet some people who share a common feel- ing about the importance of their faith in everyday life.

Howard Ross, Photography Editor 1986 Midlander Staff Michael R Turner Richard Hunt, Sports Writer Michael R Tu Denise Miller, Assistant Editor Angela Lewis, Photography Editor Editor ' s Note It ' s been a long, hard, grueling year for us here at Midlander. The very fact that you are reading this is proof that miracles do happen. When a staff manages to publish a book of any quality while staying on friendly terms, it has to be a miracle. Some things we planned did not come out as hoped. However, we put out a good book if I do say so myself. You, the reader, are the ultimate judge of that. Many talented people took the time and ef- fort and heartache into the book and I would like to take this opportunity to publicly thank them: Penny: Official editorial nagger and good friend. What would 1 have done without you? Ramon: You and I and the oV YRBK go back a long time, it seems. You ' re one of the best. Thanks for everything. Angela: You always came through with the pics despite the unreasonable demands I placed upon you. Your sense of professional- ism helped bring a semblance of order to chaos. Thanks. Connie: You ' re the best; more than 1 hoped for in a copy editor. You ' ve helped alleviate Michael R Turner Jackie Solomon, Faculty Adviser some of the headaches of this place. Thank You. Howard: You ' ve been a real asset to the staff. Thanks for coming through for us. Denise: One of our hardest and most devot- ed workers, your contributions to the book have been greatly appreciated. Jackie: Thanks for keeping us out of trou- ble. You ' re a great adviser. I would also like to thank two people who have done an innumerable number of favors for us and have saved our hides on occasion: Johnny Lovier and Tae Eaton of Josten ' s. Without their help, we would never have made it. Finally, I would like to thank my teachers in the yearbook biz : Charlotte Wright and Nancy Jernigan, and last year ' s editor, Tim Selby, for the solid foundation in YRBK they gave me and for their constant support. I hope everyone enjoys this book. Michael R. Turner Editor, 1986 Midlander Michael R Tun Penny Huston, Assistant Editor Us!

No one should think of becoming a teacher and the State is under obligation for the professional training of no one, who is not qualified to exert a wholesome spiritual influence upon the lives of children . . . No applicant will be admitted who can not furnish evidence of being strong physically, and free from chronic defects that would prevent success as a teacher.

ROTC Is Ready For Combat The men peered through the bushes and stared at the clearing 1 00 yards in front of their positions. Each man listened for the arrival of the enemy flying in choppers. Soon, rotor blades were heard. The machine-gunners began fir- ing their weapons as the choppers began to land their forces. The ground forces joined with M-16 ri- fle fire. This scene actually happened, but not in a foreign land. It was one of the battles fought Oct. 4-7 at the Smyrna Air Base by the various units of the MTSU ' s ROTC group. For the rest of the weekend, the cadets practiced standard battle- ground manuevers including patrol- ling techniques, communications procedures and survival skills.

It ' s a symbol of maturity and an opportunity for freedom and priva- cy that dorms can ' t offer. An apartment means having your own bathroom with hot showers, ac- cording to one student. It also provides you with a kitchen that brings freedom from university food. An apartment can be an escape from all the pressures of college. It allows you to get away from it all, the campus and the people. Apartment living is less restricted than dorm living. In an apartment you can come and go as you please. Visita- tion hours can be limitless depending on how you, the resident, want it. Also, the opportunity for alcohol and parties is always present. You can control the noise level of an apartment much easier than that of a dorm. This makes studying and sleep- ing much easier. — Kim Buhler All the luxuries of home Kathy Davis, Jim Johnson, Dee Dee Herdy, Greg Dixon and Mike La Maine enjoy the convenience a kitchen provides. Apartment dwellers can eat whatever, whenever, while dorm dwellers are subject to cafeteria hours.

Computer Literacy 100 is graded on the pass-fail system and is worth one credit hour. Topics covered include history, applications and terminology relat- ed to computers. Most students in the course appreciate the need for theoretical knowledge, but many voice com- plaints about the class. We have to write an awful lot, sophomore Bri- an Graham says. I average about three to four pages of notes a day. I think we should get more hands-on experience with the computer. Graham also says he thinks more effort should be made to arouse students ' interest in computers rath- er than just requiring them to memorize a bunch of facts. And he says the comprehensive final car- ries too much weight. This class should be two credit hours instead of one, freshman Charles Jones says. The pass-fail system should be abolished and the course treated like a regular course. Dr. Al Cripps, associate professor of computer science, says that changes in the course are being considered. — Keith Hateley Students working in the computer lab — something Computer Literacy 100 students think they need more of.

A large number of students have the full sup- port of their parents for their college education. However, many students work and pay for their own education. Economic laws indicate that the cost of a college education is bound to increase each year. Regardless of who ' s paying for the student ' s educa- tion, a good question is: what expenses does the money cover? In 1982, the university sent out an estimated minimum costs per semester rate chart for undergraduates to in- coming freshmen. The chart below in- dicates how much money was spent per semester for in-state and out-of- state students. To show how much the tuition and the costs of education have risen, a second chart has been compiled for the fall semester of 1985. In this chart no- tice the difference over a four-year pe- riod in registration, room rent and meal fees. — Penny Huston Registration Room Rent Meals Books P.O.

Suddenly, everyone is jolted awake by the most feared and despised sound known to dorm dwellers at MTSU — the fire alarm. While fun, fire drills and studying are not the only residence hall activities, they are by far the most frequent. Fun activities include coffee and popcorn parties (since coffee pots and popcorn poppers are the only cooking appliances al- lowed), stereo blast-outs and pizza feasts. Fortunate residents enjoy visitation privileges with the opposite sex, as others look on enviously, since these privileges do not extend to all resident halls. The relaxed environment found in most halls allows people of all types to get to know each other well. And resident relations are even more personal this year, with 3400 students crowded into space designed for 3300. But overflow prob- lems always ease as students withdraw from the university or make other housing arrangements. — Keith Hateley Jill Thompson studies in the personal atmosphere of her residence hall room.

Connie Jamison is the assistant drum major — and a freshman, which is very unusual. Connie landed the assistant position in May of 1985, when she competed against 20 others for the job. Her three years of drum major experience at Ri- verdale High School in Murfreesboro didn ' t hurt. At first, Connie had mixed feelings about her new position. She wondered how the band members would react to her freshman status. She shouldn ' t have worried — soon after she official- ly assumed her position, she was showered with encouragement and praise from her fellow band members. Now Connie can be seen at any of MTSU ' s games — usually directing on the field. — Jean Roesler Jill McCartney Cathy McClanahan Jimmy McClain Tara McClarty Amy McCool David McCracben Michele McCulley Guin McCultough Cheri McDowell Melanie McFalls Jimmy McGee John McGill Denise McKnight Daria McMackin Susan McMurtry Underclass — 263 Now that I have your attention At a football game, many imaginative banners can be found.

One step in Murphy Center on the Big R day reveals swarms of stu- dents who anxiously check the manual clock every five minutes, hoping it has moved. Once on the track (which stretches into oblivion), the students pass numerous tables before beginning their search for class cards. After leaving these goody tables, students finally get the chance to fight for their classes. Often they get to re- visit the same card table numerous times, trying to find some class (any class!) to fit their confused schedules. Three hours later they find that they no longer have to search for another elusive card.They run down to the computer bank and have their cards processed — if the computers are in working condition. The only ordeal remaining is writing a check for a depressing sum and hav- ing their mug shots taken. — Jean Roesler Students wait in line for their ARC ' s at the computer bank during fall registration.

History majors are therefore required to take two years of a foreign language to receive the Bachelor of Arts degree. The reason for this change is to provide history majors with a better, more prestigious degree, according to Dr. James Neal, a history professor. Taking two years of a foreign language is an excellent study tool and is ideally suited as a means of discipline, according to Neal. Studies have shown that language students tend to receive higher rankings on standardized tests, Neal says. There is a problem, however, when a student has a double major, one in history for a B.A. degree, and the other in a field that only offers a B.S. degree. The two degrees cannot be easily combined, but by working with a history advisor, a solution can be found, Neal says. Most students say they do not mind the change be- cause they understand the value and practicality of lan- guage study. Having a Bachelor of Science degree in history would be like having a Bachelor of Arts in chemistry, says freshman David Lee Gregor. — Kim Buhler Ariene Sherman David Shipley Jerry Siler Patrica Sillon Valirie Silver Sophomore accounting major Thomas Christie studies Geman at the language lab in the Boutwell Dramatic Arts Building.

It is always too far away from classes and often non-existent. Freshmen are often unaware of parking rules, therefore they usually receive the most tickets. I got two tickets within two hours the first day of my freshman year, Mark Wallenhorst, now a junior, re- calls. Sonya Reedy and Cindy Canlton, both sophomores, say they once moved campus security ' s barriers to create a parking space. To help relieve the problem, many of the curves were painted green to provide parallel parking for students, a skill many have yet to master. Later a new parking lot was added. — Kristen Topping Students were quick to take advantage of the freshly-painted green curbs around campus.
