In a time when the educational systems are continually being criticized, how do we know that we have what it takes? Well, our recording industry management program has produced a compact disc, some- thing that no other school has accomplished. And look at our alumni. We ' ve produced a No- bel prize winning economist, James Buchanan, former U.S. Senator Albert Gore Sr., U.S. Rep- resentative Bart Gordon, and former Miss Ten- nessee Shelley Mangrum, just to name a few. So it ' s obvious that this prestigious institution of higher education has what it takes with such notable alumni. And the best is yet to come. In the pages of this yearbook you will find friends, teachers, class time, fun time, bad times, sad times, glad times, all times we ' ll carry with us throughout our lives. As you look through this just remember, We ' ve got what it takes. Opening , 1987 Midlander Editor-In-Chief . . . Michael R.

We ' ve Got What It Takes In The Classroom As students we share a common goal, get- ting through those classes with as much ease as possible while still getting some- thing out of the class. Some people take 18 hours a semester and make A ' s while others barely pass. No matter how many or how few hours a person may carry, it is MTSU that provides the set- ting for people to prove to themselves that we have what it takes in the class- top: Enjoying the view on a class fieldtrip. bottom: Students enjoy the afternoon sun. photo by Kimberly Boyd Opening W 5 We ' ve Got What It Takes On The Field We have what it takes on the field, but most people never see it. The fans seldom, more often never, see the hours of practice and hard work that every team member puts out. No doubt, every player knows what it is like to be sore and tired, to play with a broken bone, or to practice while worrying over the major test they must take in the morning. So why do these people subject themselves to physical pain and extra pressure? They do it because they have what it takes, by Karen Stover 1 . tL. x. w Opening top: The Band of Blue during the MTSU TSU game at Dudley Field, bottom: The White Berets and Blue Brigade during homecoming activities. photo by Kimberly Boyd photo by Kimberly Boyd top: Robert Alford, 9; and Willie Brown, 32; size up the opposition during the Homecoming game against Akron.

It was probably the reason that many of us chose this university over the others. Today people have to look at the practical side of life when making any type of decision, and this unfortunatly includes decisions in education. If a persons education does nothing to prepare them for the situations they will someday face in the community, they have missed a valuable les- son. This is where MTSU pulls through for the com- munity and its students. By providing such things as student government and allowing students to sit on important campus committees, students gain valuable insight into their community. top; Lively conversation at the festive alumni reception and Homecoming parade, bottom: The Band of Blue marched proudly in the Homecoming parade. phuto by Kimberly Bnyd Opening phot., by Kimberlv Rovd - rj3«wi(T -T5«yr ikiBt_ ' i; t « ' vi-:i«s, -v !:?.:ij mfx t Tixli- ! 10 College Life photo by Alecia Harris Harry Hosey of Kappa Alpha assists the Kappa Deltas with float problems. photo by MichaeT 3oni Some people will do anything to get into the homecoming game.

More appropriately, the night would best be described as a home- coming event for an old friend, long missed but not forgotten. Nashville and Murfreesboro were both questioned with the statement, It ' s been so long since I ' ve been to Tennessee. Do you still care about me? Following the echo of a love so special for this man. Murphy Cen- ter was then treated to the sounds, sights, and delights of the Wonder- child — Stevie Wonder. Opening with Masterblaster, Stevie walked through the past, much to the audience ' s delight, with My Cheri Amour, Signed, Sealed and Delivered, Ribbon in the Sky, and Living for the City. As was made obvious to Murphy Center, Wonder considered audi- ence participation a must. He en- couraged ' us ' to sing, clap, and sway to the music. In one segment every- one clapped and chanted to the phrase I ain ' t never told a lie. The stage was incredible, being built upon massive speakers which revolved in the center, giving all the fans a chance to see Stevie in action. Four larger-than-life video screens hung from each corner of the stage, depiction either scenes to correlate to the song being performed, or ac- tual close-ups of Stevie. Following a half an hour inter- mission, Stevie returned to pump out such hits as Isn ' t She Lovely, There is Superstition, Part Time Lover, Loves Light in Flight, as well as new releases off the IN SQUARE CIRCLE album. He then began a harmonica solo which led into The Woman in Red sending the audience into a wild frenzy. As the special night drew to a close, Stevie asked the audience to share with him the feelings he had in his heart and broke into I Just Called to Say I Love You. He then expressed his concern over the lack of use of six words in our daily vo- cabulary: Please, Thank You, and I Love You. He reassured ' us ' that There is a place in my heart for all of you ... I love you. It was clear from the audience ' s response that the feeling was quite mutual. Stevie introduced It ' s Wrong for the finale. He explained that he wrote the song in response to the conflict in South Africa, namely Apartheid. The song was accompa- nied by dancers dressed in colorful attire reminiscent of African tribes. Stevie simply stated that this world has so many positive energies, and that they should be used to stop un- necessary oppression against any people because of their skin color. After this emotional presenta- tion, Stevie left the stage. And to quote the musical genius himself, I have to say in wonderment, I can ' t believe what God has done (Isn ' t She Lovely). The man is incredible. His talents touch so many in so many ways, by Jean Evelyn Roesler above: Stevie claps his hands while encouraging the crowd to get involved. One Wild Night The first MIDLANDER Halloween costume contest, at the Boro Bar and Grill, was a really happening thing. The Nerds, roomates Todd Cole and Martin Aid- rich, received $25, which was donated by the Boro for best costume. We got our idea from the movie Revenge of the Nerds and bought our costumes from the thrift store, Aldrich said. Aldrich and Cole were dressed in high water slacks, white socks, and horn rimmed glasses held together by Scotch Tape. The second place group received $15 for dressing as old men with oversized gentials. The contestants were judged on originality, audi- ence reaction and creativity, Michael Turner MID- LANDER editor-in-chief said. The Boro donated all prize money and other treats to participants. Lee Roberts, owner of the Boro, said he was very pleased with the turnout. We had roughly 300 people attend the party, Rob- erts said. I don ' t want to know how many people were in here because it would freak out the fire marshal. At the time however, no one was thinking of the fire marshal, or anyone else for that ' matter. It was just a bunch of people sharing a really good time, by Rosemary Collins 11 u above: A couple of hip chicks from Woodstock. top: Dracula looking for a bite at the Boro. left: Pebbles and Bam Bam made it from Bedrock to the semi-finals.

College Life Kenny And Dolly Kenny and Dolly By Michael Turner One (okay, two) things made Kenny Rogers ' perennial Mid- state appearance better than it might have been. Dolly Parton was there with him. And the two of them gave MTSU a show it will not soon forget. Opening for Rogers and Parton was Capital Records artist T. Graham Brown. Brown performed most of his hits from his album I TELL LIKE IT USED TO BE including the title song, Hell and High Water, I Wish That I Could Hurt That Way Again, and Rock It Billy. Dolly opened her set with Baby I ' m Burning. Both she and Rogers pleased the traditional side of the crowd by serving up plenty of their older hits. Dolly contributed her share by fol- lowing up her opener with Jolene, Two Doors Down, and the biblical Coat of Many Colors. Dolly then demonstrated her musical virtuosity by singing a story about Apple Jack and playing the banjo. Dolly showed off her band ' s vocal abilities with the accap- pella Do I Ever Cross Your Mind. She teased bass singer Steve Goldstein — He ' s not a great singer but neither am I, and I made a lot of money trying, she said. Dolly closed her set with her hit Nine to Five and left the crowd eagerly awaiting Rogers. Rogers, who appeared amidst a cloud of smoke, started his j ' and Dolly left their audience cheering for m( ■ ' - ' ■ t ' .itftt i.a:.. Kenny And Dolly string of hit renditions with All My Life, Back In the High Life Again, Love The World Away, Reuben James, and the Mel Tillis penned Ruby, Don ' t Take Your Love To Town. The crowd, however, was not re- sponding the way Rogers thought it should. Finally, after repeated coaching, he told them, You paid good money for those seats, so you should clap when you ' re damn good and ready. Kenny Rogers has had more than his share of hits dur- ing his career, and he did his best to give ' em what they wanted with Through the Years, You Decorated My Life, She Believes In Me, Blaze of Glory, and the new 20 Years Ago ( Those of you 19 or younger can just go get a coke, he quipped.) After The Gambler and Lucille, Rogers quietly left the stage. But shame on you if you thought it was over. Every time I do that I realize how ridiculous it is, he said. I knew I was coming back, you knew I was coming back, and what ' s worse, I knew you knew I was coming back. He started to sing We ' ve Got To- night. As expected, Dolly came in and sang Sheena Easton ' s part. Who needs Sheena Easton, Dolly said. Rogers and Parton closed the show with their two big duet hits Real Love and Islands in the Stream. Lets hope they come back again next year. r v? ' V L ' jiT i ■mB I Campus Life Founders Day Seventy-five years of excel- lence were commemorated this year as MTSU marked its dia- mond anniversary. It was a day packed with excitement as stu- dents, faculty, and Murfrees- boro citizens came together to celebrate the past, present, and future of this university. Founder ' s Day events, or- ganized by community and campus officials, began shortly after lunch and continued until late that night. First on the agenda were the competitive activities which took place on the lawn between Peck Hall and Cope Adminis- tration Building. Student orga- nizations set up booths all around the games area. Some of the more popular ones in- cluded the highjump, the hay toss, and the keg roll. Campus recreation officials acted as ref- erees, and there was plenty of enthusiastic participation. Clowns entertained the chil- dren in the crowd, and Mel and the Party Hats jammed with the older kids. Following the activities on campus, a parade led by a bag- pipe band from Atlanta began at the town square and worked its way to the campus, where a celebration cookout was pro- vided. The after dinner entertain- ment included such famous alumni as former U.S. Senator Albert Gore, Sr., and Miss Ten- nessee 1984, Shelley Mangrum. They spoke to the crowd about their days at Middle, and their pride in the school ' s accom- plishments. A light drizzle later in the evening didn ' t dampen the en- thusiasm of the party, nor did it dim the explosion of color provided by the spectacular fireworks display at Floyd Sta- dium.

College Life vi ' 25 Chicago Alive Again At Murphy Center Imagine Chicago without Peter Cetera. It ' s hard. Without Cetera what does Chicago really have? Well, they have some of the best musicians in the business, and they put on a great show. Chicago, on its first tour since their longtime vocalist Cetera left to pursue a solo career, played to an enthusiastic crowd on Novem- ber 7. And the best thing about it was that Cetera ' s absence really didn ' t matter. With new vocalist bassist Ja- son Scheff and a new album. Chicago 18, Chicago opened with the Robert Lamm — penned 25 or 6 to 4, an older song they re-recorded for the new album. Chicago performed many of their older songs mixed with the new songs from Chicago 18. Will You Still Love Me was one of the new songs they performed, as well as some old favorites such as You ' re the Inspiration, Sat- urday in the Park, If You Leave Me Now, Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is, and Stronger Every Day. Though some of these renditions lacked Cetera ' s touch, Scheff did a great job and showed that Chicago is still fresh. After performing the old ar- rangement of 25 or 6 to 4, Chi- cago gave two different and un- characteristic encores. Wilson Pickett ' s Wait Till the Midnight Hour and the Beatles ' Tax- man sure sounded different the way they did it. But Chicago ' s first appearance in two years left everyone satis- fied. Despite Cetera ' s defection, Chicago is definitely alive Chicago displays musical talent 26 vD College Life photo by Michael Johnson • ' HisCr Phc.t.i by Michael Johnso top: Chicago captivated their audience with their many talents. photo by Michael Johnson bottom left: Chicago ' s new lead vocalist Jason Scheff belts out the hits, bottom right: Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is College Life ®., Homecoming A time for recollection, cele- bration, and general support for the campus. This year everything from a five kilometer fun run, to a contest to see who could stick their face into a pie filled with whipped cream and find a jelly bean first were all included as part of the activities. The week started with the annual ASB Chili Cook-off Homecoming Kick-off Classic. Celebrity judges for the event were WKDF DJ Carl P. Mayfield, Murfreesboro Mayor Joe Jackson, Channel Five co- hosts Harry Chapman and Joe Case, and MTSU Criminal Jus- tice Administration Profes sor Frank Lee. They selected the Kappa Delta sorority as having the best chili on campus. The event also raised $3,000 for the Muscular Dystrophy Associa- tion. Next in the celebration came the fight song competition, which was held on the lawn in front of the KUC. Sigma Phi Epsilon won the male Greek division with a rap version of the MTSU fight song. Alpha Delta Pi won the sorority divi- sion and Pi Sigma Epsilon won the open division, with Gore and Felder Halls winning the male and female divisions re- spectively. Students were entertained with a wheelbarrow race, egg toss, apple race, plus other events during the activity-day celebration. Kappa Sigma won the male Greek division, Chi Omega took the soroity divi- sion. Pi Sigma Epsilon took the open division, and Gore Hall and the High Rise took the 28 top; Newly crowned Homecoming Queen Feletha Eanes is congratulated by her escort.

Many students express themselves via the cre- ative media. Therefore, we have Collage and Lightyear. Collage, edited by James Tucker, is the literary maga- zine of MTSU. Published every semester, it contains artwork, photography, poetry, and prose. The Collage has been re- cently rated by the Associated Collegiate Press as first class, with two marks of distinction. Lightyear, published annu- ally, is an exhibition of work by the students enrolled in MTStf photography classes. 34 College Life College Life W 35 Henry Higginbotham Not Just A Student He Has What It Takes ' You ' ve probably noticed on the sidewalks someone skating to class. Henry Higginbotham, who appears on the cover of this year ' s Midlander, is that person. The Midlander staff chose Higginbotham to appear on the cover because he is an exam- ple of the yearbook ' s theme We ' ve got what it takes. And just how does he do that? Well, consid- er his fields of study. I ' m an art major, with a silversmith em- phasis, with a minor in agriculture with an emphasis in plant and soil science plus a the- atre minor with a special ef- fects emphasis in photo- graphy. I prefer to be well round- ed, he added. It seems so. He also plays the trumpet, made the rank of Ea- gle Scout, and was state cham- pion archer in 1980. Higginbotham also has a pet who is defintely a breed apart. Wulfgar is my pet wolf, he said. Wulfgar stays on Higgin- botham ' s parents; parents ' farm near Murfreesboro. Henry Higginbotham ' s di- verse talents and interests are typical of our diversified stu- dent body and ample proof that MTSU has what it takes. 36 W College Life College Life W 37 Talking With ' ' Ten Southern women, ten different ideas, are the focus of Talking With . . . , the MTSU Theatre De- partment ' s second fall production of 1986. But play- wright Jane Martin ' s images in this set of monologues are not typically feminist situations; some of the sketches could have been delivered just as well by male actors. Each monologue is a brief vignette, a moment from a day in the life. From there, the cast and director Patrick Farmer have produced a well-paced, enlighten- ing evening. The show ' s staging is deliberately low-key; the set is the black backwall of the Arena Theatre. The props are small items, specific to the performance of the particu- lar monologue. They range, however, from a baton to a live two inch boa constrictor. The latter is wielded by Daphne Hiers in Handler. She portrays an Appalachian woman, member of a fun- damentalist church where serpents are handled. This handler loses her faith, but locks a snake ' s jaws one Sunday by daring it to defy her love for her father. She concluded by giving a warning about life, If you ' re empty, you ' ll sure get bit. In Clear Glass Marbles, a young woman (Elizabeth Freeman) stands quietly, talking about her mother ' s death. The family had only three months ' notice. Upon the doctor ' s pronouncement, the mother asked for 90 clear glass marbles, and had retired to her bed. The woman spent her remaining days settling her affairs and studying French, all the while holding onto one marble. At the end of each day the woman would drop the marble to which she had been holding. The sound became a dreaded anticipation for the rest of the fam- ily. Finally during one night, all the marbles were dropped on the floor, and the mother was dead. Now the daughter goes through her own days clinging onto the last clear glass marble that was found still in her below: A young woman and her dragon child. photo by: Jack Ross above: Two actresses from Talking With getting into their characters. 38 W College Life photo by: Jack Ross mother ' s hand. She explains its importance in the same words her mother had used, It makes the day longer. In Rodeo, an old-fashioned rider (Ginger Muse) relates the changes made by the rodeo ' s new owner. For example, the clowns don spacesuits and tell jokes for the audience instead of distracting the bull. And these changes have brought a different audience to the rodeo. They now wear designer jeans, and consid- er their attendance as fashionable slumming. The rider has been fired due to the fact that she cannot make these changes. She leaves her own audience with a small bit of advice which she has learned the hard way, They ' s a bunch of assholes in this country sneak around until they see ya havin ' fun and then they buy the fun ... if ya love it, they can sell it. Threads of religion and of human trial run through the evening. Most of the characters express the hero- ic stream in common people. Each character finds significance in the random events that brought her to cling to a philosophy. The playwrite allows the audi- ence to discover the theologic or mythic reasons why what happened did. The ten monologues are performed in no particu- lar order, and they do not build as would a conven- tional play. Yet they are summed up by the final monologue in which a tattooed woman (Ann Delana Reeves) talks about life since her divorce. Everything had been predictable, proper, ordinary. She had al- ways done as she was told or thought she might be told. Her first post-divorce date, infuriated by her lack of sexual interest in him, slashed her face below the left eye. Her scar made people look at her, and her tattoos commemorated those whose attention taught her or helped her shed all her fears. In turn, she has begun to set young innocents on the path of wisdom by inflicting scars like hers on them. She urges her listeners to allow others to leave the marks of life. Each of the characters in Talking With has continued her growth around the random scars of life and helps us reconcile the scars we ' ve suffered. by Freida Myers top: A young actress wants to see her audience, above: Let someone put the marks of life on you. College Life W 39 The Music Scene MTSU has one of the few music scenes that appeals to all tastes. Many people probably do not real- ize the diversity of the music able to be found around the campus, but whether the night calls for some cool jazz or screams for heavy metal, Murfreesboro is the place to dance the night away. Commonly called the Press, Tab- loid Press can satisfy any longings for the perfect jazz sound with a Joe Jackson style of music. Progressive type rock ' n ' roll fans love The Look and the pizzaz of their dance num- bers. Riff Raff and Facsimile also play highly danceable sets that can make anyone want to get out on the floor. Rocking the neighborhood are the F Particles, who were definitely formed with the hard core punkers in mind. On the other end of the scale, the Blind Farmers from Hell have moved to Lascassas to enter- tain MTSU with a personalized brand of country rock. Another popular sound that can be found on campus is Burning Hearts, a band devoted to the metal maniacs. Many other bands can be found throughout the Murfreesboro areas that are able and ready to give MTSU students what they want to hear. Several night spots provide the evening entertainment as they host one of the local bands. Mainstreet, EJ ' s, and Spanky ' s offer students a choice, and that is what it takes to make Murfreesboro a happening place. phuU.s by: Jean Ruesle 40 J ' I College Life E.-J. ' s, one of the many hangouts in Murfreesboro, gives local bands a chance to exhibit their talents. College Life W 41 ife Nontraditional Students It has been a typical tra- dition that more than half of all incoming freshmen are literally fresh out of high school. And MTSU has followed this tradition not so unlike many other universities in the nations. But there is something special and untraditional about MTSU ' s student body. Over thirty percent of those enrolled are either from another country, middle-aged, or are handicapped. Meet Robert Aden. In his late fifties, Aden has returned to college to re- ceive his Masters of Sci- ence degree in Accounting and Information Systems. Aden had received his Doctorate Degree in Com- paritive Education in 1955. But because he ' s been teaching college for the past thirty-seven years, it wasn ' t hard for him to readjust to college life. Aden is the Chairman of the Department of Infor- mation Systems. Although he is the de- partment head, Aden had no prior business back- ground. Therefore, for ac- credidation by the Ameri- can Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business, Aden decided to become a student again and hit the books. Aden is a reflection of the changing times and the sustaining ability that we have to adjust to the constant changes of our daily life. Back when I was grow- ing up there wasn ' t such a thing as a computer, he recalled. Since his univer- sity was not equiped with a computer (there were only six in the country at that time) he had to learn the ' hard way ' without any practical training. Although it does seem rather strange that Aden teaches and then attends classes consecutively, he reports that his students, who at times are his peers, respond positively. As for his attitude, he finds that he ' s more tol- erant of some of them, sympathizing as only a student can. Students have a lot more freedom than I had when I was growing up. We wouldn ' t have thought of questioning what a pro- fessor said, going to a dean, or to the president to complain. But Aden admits that he too has questioned a professor, however unlike other students, these pro- fessors are some of my colleques that I get along with. Decidely, Aden is not a traditional student in any sense of the concept. But he is a part of the one- third composite that gives MTSU what it takes. Handicapped Students § Handicapped students are an integral part of the student body hear at MTSU. They differ from the rest of the students not only due to their physical or mental limita- tions, but their other non- traditional attributes. Keith Hateley is one such student. Hateley, who is blind, is a senior music theory- composition major. He ' s also twenty-nine years old. His age and disability give him a unique perspec- tive on university life. Hateley utilizes readers to help him overcome many of the obstacles in his academic pursuits. He also has textbooks on tape and takes notes in class with a braille writer. So his academic career doesn ' t suffer. His well-over 3.5 GPA attests to that. Hateley ' s social life doesn ' t suffer either. He ' s very active in his church, the Worldwide Church of God, and even works on the yearbook staff. In many ways, then. Hateley is not much dif- ferent than the tradition- al student. But his dis- ability and age present a challenge which him unique makes among students. 42 l College Life photo by Frank Conle; College Life 43 John Cougar Brings His Small Town To Our Town. R.O.C.K. In MTSU Pure raw energy is the only way to describe last spring ' s John Cou- gar Mellencamp concert at Murphy Center. The show consisted of four hours of excitement packed into a two and a half hour set, and this wasn ' t prop oriented excitement — there were no lasers, smoke, or films — just good rock ' n ' roll. After the opener, Smalltown, Cougar gave an appeal to the audi- ence to do what they can to help the farmers in Tennesee, and launched into Scarecrow, the strongest mu- sical statement he has made on the issue. During the concert a lucky fan got the thrill of a lifetime when Mellen- camp pulled him onto the stage to sing the lead vocals on Hand to Hold Onto. The sold out show ' s audience was as diversified as Mellencamp ' s mu- sic. High school people were rocking next to the middle-age youngsters, and everyone was having a great time. The show ' s highlight came af- ter Mellencamp ' s personal salute to the sixties, R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A., James Brown ' s Cold Sweat, and the Drifter ' s Under the Boardwalk. Afterwards, Mellencamp and his band tried to leave the stage, but the crowd would have none of that, as they demanded an encore by screaming and banging on the seats. Finally Mellencamp returned to do the classic Like a Rolling Stone, the perfect ending to a night of rock and roll.

Campus Floods With 8 Inches Of Rain It had rained since sundown. All through the night my roommate and I took turns looking out our window. The ditch between Mono- han complex and the president ' s house had already overflowed its banks and was beginning to cover the trunks of the giant walnut trees. As we started to go to bed at about 10:30 my roommate said, I hope we don ' t get flooded out. All was quiet — until after mid- night. Some of the guys started banging on the doors. Shut the f — up! my roommate yelled, assuming that it was a herd of drunken party animals. Then we heard the voice of our hall director, Brock Harris: Everybody get up, we ' ve got water coming in! As I turned on the light, I saw that water was indeed seeping under the door. Oh, s only reply. was my The two of us tried to get as many items off the floor as possible before leaving. However, we soon found out that our escape route was blocked; the exit door was blocked by a tremendous wall of water. We soon forced it open, though, and be- gan trudging through thigh-high water, defying the thunder and lightning until we reached our des- tination: the courtyard steps of Monohan ' s lobby. The chaos had just begun. Ivan Shewmake, housing director, soon arrived to take charge of the situation. We were divided into smaller groups and transplanted to the girls ' lobbies, where they brought in mattresses for us to sleep on. The ladies were very nice to us that night. They provided pillows and blankets, some even gave us food, and they even put up with our choruses of Raindrops Keep Fall- ing On My Head and Riders on the Storm. It ' s a wonder if any- body got to sleep that night. Nobody was in the mood to go to classes the next morning, especially since we couldn ' t use our books. Most of us stayed on the porch watching the water recede. We fi- nally could return to our rooms. Our beds and mattresses were totalled, so were some of our refrigerators, stereos, guitars, amps, etc. Outside towtrucks would arrive every few minutes to pick up the casualties from the parking lot. It was a hell of a mess. We were told to pack a few things, and remove ourselves to the mar- ried student housing over the week- end, but a lot of went home to mom- ma to overcome the ordeal. The cleaning crews did a bang-up job, by Residents in the Mon Sha Ray complex were left to clean up rooms such as this after the flooding subsided. Sunday afternoon we could return to a neat room, complete with new bedding. Although we are through the af- termath, the tragedy still lingers. Whenever it starts raining, every- body would get their stuff off the floor — just in case. Flood Aid programs were established, but lit- tle was raised. Then, there were mixers with Monohan and Cum- mings Halls — and NO girls showed up (except the staff)!! Somehow, we have still managed to keep our sense of humor. The homecoming float is our crowning achievement, and we love Our Year to Swim t-shirts. Then t here are our one-liners: Anybody want to buy some swamp land in Murf reesboro? l.h,.tii hy Kimherlv B..vd This Olds Cutlass was one of the many victims terrorized by the incredible flooding MTSU experienced in September.

Student Programming; Housing Serve Different Needs Have you ever wondered who brought the concerts to Murphy Center, or who sponsored the free noon show in the BDA? If you ever have, the answer is the special events committee. This committee has brought such performers as Jackson Browne, The Who, The Moody Blues, and even the king — Elvis Presley. The special events committee in itself is a small wonder. If is a com- mittee of 211 people who are further divided into five small groups that focus on one area. One of the subdi- visions is the dance committee. This group is responsible for bringing some of the hottest dance bands in the area to MTSU. Not only does this committee sponsor the bands that perform, but sell the tickets and host the events. The fine arts committee is another division that students participate on. This com- mittee is responsible for bringing mimes, jazz musicians, and even art films to the campus. They also sponsor the fine art film series which brings foreign films to MTSU every Sunday. The committee also provides pub- lic lecturers from famous people through the ideas and issues com- mittee. In the past, this committee has brought such people as Timothy Leary, William F. Buckley, Paul Harvey, and Ralph Nader to speak to students. The special events committee places students in charge of all the little details that go into their pro- ductions. This includes everything from publicity and stage crew to ushering and ticket sales. This com- mittee really does provide MTSU students with the chance to prove that they have what it takes to make things happen.

The universities health service program is built upon the profes- sionalism of its staff as well as the care and concern for student help. Students seeking health consulta- tions for minor problems may seek help Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm. Dr. Robert Hackman is backed by an excellent staff, including his assistant Donald Young. There are three RN ' s and one LPN available for help also. Al- though the university ' s health ser- vices operates on campus, employ- ing their own staff, they are also affiliated with the Rutherford County department of health. Stu- dents who are experiencing health problems are encouraged to seek the services of the health program. The program was established for the care of students in order that they may continue their educational process. For some students it is virtually impossible to finance a college edu- cation because of other pressing fi- nancial obligations or a limited in- come. Undoubtably those who are not qualified to handle an education financially are potentially excellent students, their only setback is being unable to foot the bill. MTSU recognizes the financial problems students face, and offers a wide variety of university scholar- ships and loans. Many scholarships involve a direct interest or skill such as a music or athletic scholarship. State and federal programs are also available to students covering from ten percent to 100% of the costs for one academic year. Most of these scholarships, as well as those MTSU offers, are available to the students who are in the most need of financial assistance. These schol- arships and loans are given to those that need the money the most, and then dispersed among the other ap- plicants. Financial aid helps the people who might not get to college get there, allowing them to get their education.

In the admissions department at MTSU has got what it takes to play. Just last year admissions acquired an electric motor cart which is used on campus tours by older parents and disabled students. MTSU ' s cart is one of only two in the area. In the recruiting area, MTSU is far ahead of the pack. Unli ke other area schools who must rely only on pamphlets and verbal descriptions of the campus by the recruiters, MTSU ' s recruiters are equipped with a high tech video cassette re- corder complete with a TV screen. Instead of trying to describe college life, the recruiter can simply pop in the eight minute VHS tape and show prospects what Middle has to offer. The tape which was written and directed by admissions, was put together by MTSU ' s TV services. It provides prospects with an overview of the university, and can be used as a substitute for the tour if rain cancels. No job is finished until the pa- perwork is completed — and you can ' t complete your education until the paperwork is through. Therfore, we have the records office. They keep tab on every move you make, every class you take, every law you break, they ' ll be watching you. All this information goes into your file, plus, they have an assortment of forms for every occasion, from changing your major (for the four- teenth time) to an intent to gradu- ate. Without the records office, we would have no identity and be lost in the limbo of MTSU forever. — Kelley Marlin |)h,.l(. liy Kimherlv Bc.vd Cashier Sonya Rooker looks up a computer file for Nell Miller. photo by Kimberly Boyd •■ i H-pv Academics ' O 61 62 Vy Academics phot., hy Kimherly Biiyd Academics Vy 63 President Sam Ingram President Sam Ingram takes a stroll through campus after finishing massive amounts of paperwork. :■ ;=« i : : 1 ' J ' ' • ' Robert Corlew, Vice-President of Academic Affairs; Jerry Tunstill, Vice-President of Business and Finance; and Robert LaLance, Vice-President of Student Affairs, pause to pose for a snapshot.

With three major developments in the planning stages, the next couple of years will be pretty eventful. One of the most outstanding of the developments is the Seigenth- aler chair of excellence. The mass communications department would have one out of two here at MTSU. The Seigenthaler chair brings out- standing scholars to campus either full or part-time as a sort of resident professional, according to Ed Kim- brell. These resident professionals may teach a few classes, or set up jour- nalistic conferences, bringing in practicing professionals to speak be- fore the students and faculty. Right now the department is rais- ing funds for the project and eyeing prospective scholars to come to campus. John Seigenthaler him- self is handling the invitations for these professionals. He has someone in mind for the honor, but will not say until the matter is final. Anoth- er project in the planning stages are plans for a $12 million new mass- com building. Charles Pigg, mainte- nance director and head of this pro- ject, said that the building of 100,000 square feet will be the facul- ty facility ever built on campus, be- sides Murphy Center, which was only $7 million 15 years ago. The new building will house all of the communications facilities and more. It will have two recording stu- dios, a sound stage, a popular music archives, the communications facul- ty, and the photo and writing labs. The building itself hasn ' t been approved by the school yet, but the money for the pre-planning stage has. If everything goes well, Pigg said, they are aiming for a spring of 1988 building date. If everything goes as planned, by September, 1989, the new building will be ready for students. The third major project being worked on this semester is trying to start a masters degree program for the mass-comm department. According to Bob Wyatt, in charge of the project, the program will be unique in the state. This masters isn ' t for the student right out of college, but for the practicing professionals who have been in the business for at least two years and are looking for a masters degree. The two areas that are emphasized are management and research prin- ciples which people in the broad- casting area are most interested in, and advanced training in law and ethics which newspaper profession- als find important in their work. This masters degree has not been approved by the dean yet, for more research needs to be done, but Wy- att hopes that it will be passed in the spring, allowing the mass-comm department to grow even stronger.

Military Science KD 77 ® Nursing And Home Economics Tops In Tend er, Loving Care Studying, hard-work, and dedica- tion could be the motto for MTSU ' s two-year nursing program. The pro- gram, which was established in 1965, includes lectures, labs, and clinical work at both the Middle Tennessee Medical Center and the Alvin C. York VA Hospital. I think that it is an excellent program, but it ' s kind of a rough cookie, sopho- more nursing student Tina Akers comments. The rigorous training begins in the classroom where six faculty members teach the student nurses basic skills and interpersonal rela- tions. Without these instructions the students could not pass the labs or be able to talk to patients effectively. Labs prepare the nurses-to-be for hospital work and give the students a chance to use the information col- lected from the classroom lectures. At these labs nursing students learn how to take blood pressures, temperatures, pulse, respiration, bedmaking, and all the other basic nursing skills, commented Betty McComas, chairperson of the nurs- ing department. After mastering these duties, the students must pass at least two proficiency tests before they are allowed to begin their on- the-job training. Once in the hospital the patients of student nurses usually are a little apprehensive, but once a person gets used to his nurse, they like the one on one attention that they don ' t get usually. After the hospital work is completed, the students are se- cure in their knowledge, confident that they are ready to take their State Boards. For the past five years there has been a 100% pass rate, giv- ing the soon-to-be nurses a feeling of security that MTSU ' s nursing program has what it takes to pro- vide the education that nurses need.

The accounting graduates can go into a variety of fields, William Grasty, chairman of the department ment said. They can go into public accounting, government accounting, industrial accounting, or continue their education. With a major in accounting, a student could also work with any branch of the state, federal, or local Internal Revenue Service, be an industrial accountant for a major corporation, or just a CPA. The accounting department has shown that they have what it takes since the MTSU chapter of Beta Al- pha Psi, the national professional and student accounting fraternity, has won the award for outstanding national chapter of the year. The informations systems de- partment offers training in the con- cepts and skills required to perform as computer specialists, systems an- alysts and in related fields, Robert Aden, chairman of the information systems department, said. The majors in information sys- tems must complete a rigorous training in computer technology in order to be competitive in today ' s market, Aden said, and the depart- ment at MTSU has just what it takes to train students to succeed in the fast-paced world of information systems. S: 80 ' vly Academics Academics O 81 Economics Management Marketing Finance BDOM Dealing with statistics and forecasts as much as we do, I ' d hesitate to say we ' ll grow forever, but we should contin- ue to grow for the next few years, commented Dr. Reuben Kyle, chair- man of the economics and finance department. The department, which offers three undergraduate degrees in economics and finance as well as graduate degrees, has defied the national average, seeing an in- crease in enrollment for the past five years. With 300 students majoring in the department, Kyle feels that his fac- ulty is definately top of the line. We have two professors who are internationally known and respect- ed as economists in the steel indus- try, said Kyle. Also, we are quite pleased to have Dr. Kenneth Holl- man, who is the holder of the Mar- tin Chair of Insurance. In the five years he has been here, the insur- ance program has gone from no stu- dent majors to forty. His presence has had a tremendous effect on the program. Among the jobs that students have found themselves in are bank- ing and savings and loans. Accord- ing to Kyle, there is a student in every major bank in the area, in- cluding the Nashville branch of the federal reserve bank. Students from the program have also gone on to work in the securities market, deal- ing with investments, and financial planning, real estate, and insurance brokers and underwriters. For the past two years BDOM has approached teaching in a different way. The department places its stu- dents in a true-to-life situation — it ' s time to sink or swim. The department ' s sepcialty is En- trepreneurship, with prerequisites in accounting and a class in either salesmanship, marketing, or busi- ness communications. It ' s a practi- cal approach to the study of the planning, organizing, and operating of a business enterprise, Dr. Jim Steward said. Steward, who teaches the class, says that the course brings all the discipline necessary for going into business for yourself together. In other words, it takes the con- cepts from other classes and pro- vides the students with the chance to put them to work by establishing their own business. The model busi- ness is put down on paper. Steward calls this a realistic approach to go- ing into business. After the busi- ness plans are on paper, they can be entered in plan competition. Last year MTSU finished 30 out of 400 from across the country. BDOM provides students with the chance to put their knowledge to the test and prove to themselves that they have what it takes.

Offering fifty physical activity courses, the HPERS department has at least one class for everybody. Our aerobic dance classes, racquet- ball classes, and scuba diving classes are all real popular, Guy Penny, HPERS department chairman com- mented. In addition to the activity courses, HPERS caters to those who wish to teach physical education and to those whose desire it is to work in a county or state health de- partment or in a wellness center. About 60 0 of our majors go into teaching, Penny said. The rest go into non-teaching professions like health department workers. Ac- cording to Penny, the department is now offering a masters degree in wellness and fitness. Tentative plans are being reviewed for pursu- ing a nonteaching option in wellness and fitness for those interested but who do not want to pursue the field in a major. Our department is in the busi- ness of leisure, Penny said. We try to teach people how to enjoy their leisure time and how to do ex- ercises related to health. « « . 4 ' •:r ; i 86 Academics Enjoying the solitude of the mountains. photo by Kimberly Boyd (left) Robert Fiewick takes in the scenery at Stone Door Campgrounds in the South Cumberland Recreation Area during a hiking backpacking class trip. ■w: ' : Academics w 87 Youth Education Elementary Education Timothy and Beverly Cole practice drawing lines.

Academics 89 Foreign Languages Learning The Tongues For Tomorrow Today Things are really looking up in foreign languages this year. One class that has seen a dramatic in- crease in enrollment is Japanese. One of the reasons for the rise in the number of students taking the class- es is the arrival of Japanese indus- tries to the state. Dr. Peterson, a Japanese instructor, said that some students take Japanese be- cause they want to go work for a Japanese company when they grad- uate. Colin Beaty, who studied Japanese this year, state that he took the class because it was the only thing left I hadn ' t taken up in the foreign language department. Linda Nunn has very different rea- sons for enrolling in the course. I spent two months in Japan, and I ' d really like to go back, Nunn ex- plained, I want to help with teach- ing Japanese children to speak English. In addition to their regular class- es, a number of students are in- volved in foreign language clubs. Al- pha mu gamma is open to any student with two A ' s in a foreign language. Initiation began this fall, which included a formal dinner with certain designated people to prepare dishes from other countries. Another student group that was very active this year is the Spanish club. Members enjoyed regular ter- tulias, a social gathering in which students gathered together to eat and chat in Spanish. The club also went on a trip to Nashville to see a performance by flamingo dancers. The foreign language department is continually changing and improv- ing their clubs and activities. A French club is in the planning, and many other projects are being worked up by the students and fac- ulty. This department has what it takes to bring different cultures to- gether in intersting and informative ways. r ■:i7it:; i; Students in the foreign language labs are able to learn the pronuncia- tion of the words and phrases effectively through the use of headphones.

This training can be applied to several different careers, including law, computer science, and ethics. We teach a lot of con- cepts that deal with reasoning. In addition to training future law- yers and philosophers, the depart- ment also offers a minor in religious studies. Courses in religious studies are designed to acquaint students with the beliefs and doctrines of the major religions of the world. Training for philosophizing or a background in religious studies is this department ' s specialty, and it certainly has what it takes to apply these learnings to everyday activi- ties and careers. Help! I need somebody! pleads the familiar Beatles song. This cry for help is echoed throughout the country by millions seeking the so- lutions to their problems. Learning to help people to deal with these problems is the challenge facing students in sociology, anthropology, and social work. John Mathieson, who earned his bachelor of social work this year, characterizes his social workers as helping people who fall through the cracks to get back up again. Social workers help clients get jobs, straighten out family situations, get people back to school, and do many other constructive things for their clients. However, before someone can ful- fill the requirements of their degree they must attend and pass all the necessary classes and perform an in- ternship. In this way the students are able to receive first-hand knowl- edge in handling the various situa- tions that will occur. The department also scheduled a series of guest speakers in the fields of anthropology, biology, and soci- ology. These activities are open to all students. On the whole, this has been a productive year for everyone in the department, and at the rate the department is going, next year will be even better. MTSU ' s political science depart- ment is designed with students ex- perience in mind. A variety of in- ternships are available for people enrolled in political science courses, providing these students with early experience in their chosen fields. Pre-law majors work with an estab- lished law firm, while pre-public ad- ministration majors serve their in- ternships with a public agency. The most competitive internship is the opportunity to work with the Ten- nessee State Legislature in Nash- ville. As much as on-the-job experi- ence is beneficial for a student, he wouldn ' t be able to survive without the strong backbone of information provided by the political science faculty. All of the instructors have earned their degrees in political sci- ence, and each has more than twen- ty years of college level teaching ex- perience. The instructors have designed a balanced curriculum for their students, guaranteeing not only the necessary schooling in their respective fields, but also a well-rounded educational background.

Academics Geology And History Many people think that geogra- phy and geology are the same thing; however, there are important differ- ences between the two. Geography deals with the human element, or man-land relationships, whereas ge- ology primarily deals with the phys- ical or more scientific aspects of earth science. Many career opportunities are available to majors in these two ar- eas, and include such areas as envi- ronmental workers, park rangers, and positions with the oil industry and remote sensing. Remote sensing is the technology of exploring and monitoring the earth ' s resources through the use of Geography and Geology Department: John Ray, William Kohland, Ralph Ful- lerton, and Edward Snyder aerial photography and satellite scanning. Two graduates of MTSU have already received scholarships in this area of study. Field trips are also offered through this department. A geogra- phy geology major is required to at- tend at least one of these trips and to finish an approved research pro- ject on that trip. A project may be mapping an area or noting the cul- tural and or physical problems within an area. According to chair- man Dr. Fullerton, All of our trips are designed to teach the students something about the area they visit. If space is available after the ma- jors have selected their trips, any- one may go. These groups travel through the United States, Central America, Europe, and Mexico. Dur- ing the spring break of 1987, the de- partment will be traveling to Mexico. Another department at MTSU is making progress towards the past. Yes, it is the history department. and it has just what it takes to do just that. MTSU ' s history department, headed by Dr. William Windham, is involved in many, many different activities. This department does ev- erything from publishing articles in professional articles to sending del- egates to state, regional, and inter- national committees. The professors in the history de- partment are all actively involved in broadening the department. Dr. Ferris is involved in preparing a leadership manual for local, state, and national AAUP offices. Anoth- er example is Dr. Huhta who trav- elled to England last summer to speak with English officials at MTSU ' s excellent historic preserva- tion program. Dr. Huhta also dis- cussed possibilities of internships in England with these officials. Other projects are going on continuously, proving the history department to be one of the most dynamic depart- ments on campus.

Coach Boots Donnelly ' s crew was voted as the preseason pick to win the OVC by the league ' s coaches while being ranked fourth nationally. MTSU ' s 1986 schedule loomed as one of the toughest in recent years. But one couldn ' t tell that from the Blue Raiders ' first opponent, Di- vision III foe Miles College. A crowd of about 6,500 fans at Horace Jones Field saw the Blue Riaders put on a domination show reminiscent of some of their overpowering 1985 perfor- mances at MTSU smashed the Golden Bears 47- 0. Everything we do has to get better for us to even have a remote chance at having a good season, Donnelly said. At the time, Donnelly ' s comments seemed to be typical coach ' s rhetoric downplaying one ' s 0t, m photo by; Howard Re HHHHHHMHHHI 1 1 ■ ■SSSSSSS jiSSS I 1 BF ■ r r 1 9 102 W Athletics pholo by Howard Re own team. But the events of the next few weeks made MTSU ' s eight-year coach look like a prophet. The TSU game loomed in MTSU ' s future. The teams went at it in front of 28,284 fans at Vanderbilt ' s Dudley Stadium. In something of a surprise, two teams noted for putting points on the board in droves instead slugged it out in a classic defensive struggle. Stacy Grear ' s one-yard quarterback sneak and David Hood ' s extrapoint kick accounted for TSU ' s scoring, offsetting a pair of field goals by the Raiders ' Dick Martin for a 7-6 Tiger victory. Dick Martin provided a bright spot for the Raiders when he kicked his fifth field goal of 1986. On the darker side of things, MTSU ' s injuries continued. However, some of the wounded were returning to the field. Anderson and Andrews both saw action at Austin Peay. But the biggest surprise was yet to come. A homecoming throng of 10,500 were amazed to see Collier in the starting lineup against the Zips. During the homecoming game the Raiders defense made sure there were plenty of opportunities for the offense with four interceptions of Akron quarterback Vernon Stewart, including two by Mullins. Colvard racked up 14 unassisted tackles with an interception, earning the senior OVC Defensive Player of the Week honors. An off week did not slow MTSU ' s momentum any as the Raiders piled it on Youngstown. As in the game with Akron, the combination of tough MTSU defense and Marvin Collier was too much for the opposition. When MTSU took its 5-4 record to Murray State where, with a 3-2 conference mark, the Raiders still had a shot at the OVC title. That shot was nullified with a 21-7 Racer victory in a game Donnelly called puzzling. With no conference championship to play for, the Raiders prepared for their season finale at home against arch-rival Ten- nessee Tech. The Golden Eagles came into the game 0-9, but Donnelly warned that Tech was an improving ballclub. Though the team finished a disappointing 6-5, five Blue Raid- ers were honored individually for being named to the all-confer- ence team. Colvard and Buford were named for the defense while Stone, Burse, and Andrews were mentioned for the offense. Even though the Blue Raiders ' rocky start greatly hampered their efforts to win the conference title, their strong finish should set the tone for a good 1987.

Coach Bruce Stewart confessed in the ' 86- ' 87 Blue Raider Bounce! that he was looking for- ward to the coming season with more relish than any season since I ' ve been coaching. The Raiders have been hard at work trying to establish an experienced team for the past two years. And this season they pulled it off. Although the team lost guard Kim Cooksey, who led the scoring in the Ohio Valley Confer- ence for the past two seasons, as well as James Johnson, a point guard who racked up 192 as- sists and 73 steals in the past season, and Lee Campbell who averaged 11.3 points and 7.2. re- bounds per game, the infiltration of new skill combined with veteran skill is enough (or mor- eso) to pull off consecutive victories. Considered one of OVC ' s most consistent players, 6-3 guard-forward Andrew Tunstill is returning in the wake of last season ' s record. He averaged 12.8 points and 3.6 rebounds plus handed out 87 assists and accumulated 34 steals. Kerry Hammonds, a junior forward-center, led the Raiders in rebounds with an average of 7.6 recoveries per game and 12.8 points. Duane Washington is also back. He and John- son traded off starting roles at the point guard. Washington is responsible for setting a single- season school assist mark of 197. He averaged 4.9 points and 3.0 rebounds last season. Tyrus Baynham, a 6-7 forward, started 19 games and averaged 11.0 points and 3.1 re- bounds. His outside shots are expected to match the talents of Cooksey. Other returnees who are considerable assets to the team are Dwayne Rainey, 6-7; Jimmy McGill, 6-9, and Randy Henry, 6-9. Infiltrated to the Raider Team are Ron Bar- ber, Gerald Harris, Mike Messerly, and Tony Cook. These men are responsible for adding fresh talent and expertise to the team. Barber, a freshman 6-3, point-guard, averaged 20.2 points and 8.5 rebounds during his senior year in Atlanta for Lakeshore High School. Harris and Messerly, who were red-shirted last season, should make a difference in the photo by Sandy Campbell 108 Athletics team this season. Harris is known to deal with the ball and score effectively, while Messerly is an effective leaper and outside shooter. A transfer from David Lipscomb College, Cooke is also a fine outside shooter. These men and their incredible talents comprise the Raider Team this season and it is with anticipation that the Blue Raider fans await the victories they bring home to us. photo by Howard Ri photo by Michael Job photo by Howard Ross Athletics 109 Tony Cook, a senior guard, takes it down the court for Middle Tennessee. photo by Howard Chris Rainey, sophomore guard, leaps to the goal.

For years MTSU has stood apart from other colleges and universi- ties who offer similar but less elaborate cirriculums. At MTSU, students have the option of an ar- ray of classes centered around the Music Industry including: Audio Engineering, copyright Law, Con- cert Production, Music Publish- ing, Merchandizing, Promotion and Publicity, Legal Problems of the Recording Industry, and Ca- reer Development for Recording Artists, to name a few. Since MTSU has such a unique program near a major Music In- dustry capital like Nashville, it attracts individuals from all areas of the country. Outside of the classroom, ARMS accomodates the needs of these individuals on both a social and educational level. Perhaps ARMS is best known for its Hal- loween Psycho Bash or the Grammy Awards Watching Par- ty among university students, but on a business level ARMS has worked with many Recording In- dustry professionals with orga- nizing productions for concerts and other musical events in the Nashville area. ARMS has received recognition from many organizations within the Entertainment Industry. A few of these are: The Country Music Association, The Metro Arts Commission, Country Radio Broadcasters, Sound Seventy Productions, The Judds, the Na- tional Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, the Nashville En- tertainment Association, United Cerebal Palsy, and the Charlie Daniels Volunteer Jam. At the present time ARMS is 150 members strong and is open to all students with an interest in the Music Industry. ARMs me et- ings are usually twice monthly in the K.U.C. and often include a guest speaker or panel of individ- uals who work in the Recording Industry. above: The members of ARM opposite: The future of Daniel ' s career depends on how good he caj make musicians like Mark sound Organizations m m Psycho Bash 86 .sSa ' Sii dt Hk fMM. rn r fy ■■ 3S-V i ' ; ■. top: Keeping the sound for each instrument just right during gigs is not easy — it takes a pro to do it right. right: ARMS had a big throwdown at the Campus Pub.

It is a very happy time, with a feeling of warmth and richness in every home. It is a family celebration, when as many of the family as possible will be together, traveling long distances to be under one roof. For children, New Year is a very special time, full of good smells from the kitchen, new clothes, and excitement. The habitual reserve of many families is set aside; the children can see the love for them that is usually hidden under strictness and formality. Ev- eryone makes a big fuss over them, and scoldings are rare. Lunar New Year does not have a single religious meaning like Christ- man, Ramadan, or Passover. It is a celebration of continuity and family life, a practical holiday for finishing old business and preparing for the future. New Year festivities are ded- icated to good luck and good for- tune, trying to make sure that the next year will go smoothly for the whole family. ph(.l., liy.

Lee. The Brothers and little sisters, known as Southern Belles, celebrate their heritage every Spring with Old South week. Kappa Alpha is much more than social.

The largest fraternity on the MTSU cam- pus, the Tennessee Beta Chapter is currently celebrating its seventeenth year at MTSU. The True Gentlemen of SAE are a diverse group, with a winning tradition in campus events from All Sing to All Sports. Active in both campus and community ac- tivities, each Spring SAE hosts the Miss MTSU Scholarship Pageant, a preliminary to the Miss Tennessee Pageant. Tennessee Beta has been recognized as one of the top SAE chapters in the nation four times in its history at MTSU because of excel- lence in overall chapter activities.

MTSU ' s Zeta Theta chapter of Chi Omega was founded in March, 1969, and they are devoted to such purposes that contribute to individual development that is proven by ability, dependability, and graciousness. Chi Omega helps its members to develop emo- tionally, intellectually, and socially. Chi Omega is also involved in many social and civic services and campus activities. Chi Omega makes donations to the Ruther- ford County Foodbank, the Civitan Candy Sale, the American Cancer Society, and the Tennessee Camp for diabetic children. Chi Omega participates in such campus ac- tivities as Homecoming, Founder ' s Day, and the MTSU phone-a-thon. 196 W Greeks Panhellenic Counci Bleinda Smith, Lynne Askm, Rhonda Fenimore, Jade Stolkey, Lisa Weaver, Kim Bukler, Lynette Henne, Sherry Stubblefield, Lisa Blevins, Tammy Weaver, Sharon Garner United Greek Council United Greek Council: Darryl Freeman, Rodney Bennett.

You can do it all, you have to; your class is on the third floor of Peck Hall — where else could it be. You stop at the foot of the stairs, and as you look up you begin to lose faith. Glancing down at your watch you see that time is running out, and your professor counts tardies. It ' s a do-or-die situation, so you do. After making it to the first land- ing, one begins to undergo an atti- tude change. The pessimism is held in check, and you begin hearing yourself say I think I can; I think I can. Halfway between the second landing and your goal the altitude undergoes a change also, you look and feel like a chain smoker, as you drag one foot after the other up the stairs. Finally, just as you feel the end coming, you undergo a burst of en- ergy, enabling you to charge up those few remaining hurdles. After all, there is no question about it, you are in top shape. Karen Stover KOM presents another exhausting stair- case for those students and teachers un- fortunate enough to end up with a third story class.

You can see them sweep- ing the sidewalks free of walnuts, grass, or any other impediment, as well as picking up trash, washing the glass doors, and many, many other things. For instance, the man that pushes that Thing around the bottom of Peck Hall. What is that thing any- way? The floors of the BDA are an- other example of the maintenance workers fine techniques as you can see your reflections as you walk through. Not only do these men and wom- en do their jobs well, but are always friendly.

A Are you having problems decid- ing what you want to do with your life? Then vocational guidance is exactly what you need. The Guidance and Counseling center provides vocational testing and guidance, advisement for unde- clared majors, and provides re- search materials for students seek- ing career information. The Sigi Plus computer software, recently acquired by the center, provides testing for students and enables them to get a better idea of occupations suitable for them. Students also use the Career De- cision Making System, which is an interest inventory designed to dis- cover what occupational areas a stu- dent should investigate in more detail. The center also provides individ- ual guidance for those students seeking vocational guidance. Michael Turner Brenda Dressier helps a student work on the Sigi Plus computer system.

They run around campus continually trying to avoid speeding cars and being mauled by viscious dogs. Some run for a hobby, taking part in every race in the middle Tennessee area. Some do it to pick up girls or guys, trying to impress them with their bright red faces and sweaty, but toned, bodies. And last but not least are the people trying to lose as many ungodly fat cells as possible. Jogging is good for everyone though. It gets people out as well as conditions the body, but until I see a jogger with a smile on his face I ' ll remain walking.

Wein- berg didn ' t tell any hot gossip or talk about Springsteen ' s personal plans, but instead he talked about his twelve year association with the Boss and his development as a drummer. While recording the Born in the USA album, Weinberg experienced tendon damage to his hands, which required him to undergo seven oper- ations, but he still kept drumming. Weinberg also spoke of his solo album, The Big Beat, a book of interviews with famous rock drum- mers of the past thirty years. It in- cludes D.J. Fontana, former drum- mer for Elvis Presley, who was present in the audience. Max Weinberg ' s talk proved to be an interesting one for anyone. He demonstrated his talents and proved he was truly born to drum. Max Weinberg, drummer for the E Street band, speaks at the LRC Lecture series. He even left his perso nal message for the Midlander staff. Classes 249 Patti Abernathy Jimmie Kevin Adamson James Ryan Adcock Manal A.

Col. Schley Frazer, military science department chairman. Karen Johnston has taken charge of the program and moved on with the cadets, Frazer said. Some people may think that being the first female commander of a traditionally all-male group would present problems. However, the reverse is true ac- cording to Johnston. The males under my command do not hold my being female against me, she said. In fact, I think it (being female) generates more respect because I can do the job well. Frazer echoed these feelings. With her leadership ability, she will never have any problems, said Fra- zer. She is doing a great job.

Now you head for the copiers because the material you need is naturally in a periodical that can- not be checked out. None to your surprise there is a minimum of ten pages which are essential to your research. No problem, you have enough change, you hope. After strategically positioning yourself in the shor- test line, you begin the waiting process. One person to go, but he seems to be copying the entire works of William Shakespeare. Finally, it is your turn. Quickly you give the copier a once-over, but for what you have no idea. You drop in a nickel and hope it works. After copying the first seven pages, tactfully ignoring the comments drifting towards you, you are down to the last two pages, and your last dime. You drop it in and catch yourself holding your breath, waiting for that last nickel to drop out. You resume a normal breathing pattern upon the beloved sound of jingling change. There, finished. Now that wasn ' t so bad, was it? Karen Stover A familiar sight to people at the end of the line is someone like Wendell Smith, Jr. at a library copier.

Whether they have their own estab- lished route or personal mode of transportation, all vary. Most students walk from one area to another, but quite a few ride their bicycles, also. However, one or two original guys use a little ingenuity to get to class, or away from class as the case may be. On most days someone on roller- skates may whiz by, followed by a guy on a skateboard. One shouldn ' t be surprised to see a unicycle fly by either. Who says that you need a car to get around?

' 279 We ' ve Got What 1 1 Ts K 6 S 1987 Midlander Staff To stop the flow of time and preserve it for posterity. That ' s the job of the Midlander staff. The Midlander staff members are as much historians as journalists preserving the events and the people of the year at MTSU. The Midlander staff consists of writers, photogra- phers, and artists. The writers write, and the photogra- phers make the pictures, naturally. The layout artists try to arrange the two elements in a pleasing design. Work begins at the yearbook even before the current one is distributed. The staff attends Josten ' s workshop at Belmont College in March, then the June workshop on MTSU ' s campus. During the summer the staff plans the basic content, design, and recruits more staff. Things really get hectic when the fall semester starts. The staff faces monthly deadlines from October to Jan- uary, leaving a lot to do in very little time. After the final deadline, the staff ' s time is consumed by reviewing proofs and planning distribution of the finished product. — Michael R.

I can understand why; no one reads them except the people who expect to see their names here or who have a connection with the staff. Traditionally the editor uses this space to extol the virtues of his dedicated staff. I ' ll do that, simply because those who put up with me this year deserve to be glorified forever in print. But first, I have something else to say. To say this has been a difficult year for the Mid- lander staff would be putting it mildly. Our very sur- vival has been threatened, and you ' d better hope this isn ' t the last yearbook you ' ll ever see. Problems have been brewing for at least the last twelve years which have come to a head this year. The big problem is that no one is buying the book. Out of a student body of 10,000 only 2400 bought the book. Why? I ' d really like to know. Is it because you don ' t like what you see in Midlander? Then read on. My staff this year is the greatest. But I don ' t have nearly enough of them to do the job that is expected of us. Not to mention the fact that we ' re full time students and that is our first priority. We should not have to work forty hours a week f or peanuts. The Thirteenth Amendment outlawed slavery, you know. I would advertise for staff members, they would come in, take one assignment, and never be heard from again. Others who had paid posi- tions could never be found when work had to be done. So that leaves six people to publish a high quality, three hundred page yearbook. That ' s no easy feat. So quali- ty suffers sometimes. Then sales go down, and the cycle starts again. This year, the Student Publications Committee, the governing body of the year- book, finally noticed that problems existed. After sev- eral meetings with them, they decided to appoint a subcommittee to recom- mend whether or not to abolish the yearbook. In the meantime, allegations were made about poor student leadership and a lack of interest. There ' s a definite lack of interest among students about working for the cam- pus media. And, hindsight 284 w Complaints, Gripes, And Irritations being 20 20, there are things I could have done better as an editor. But we are students. This is a learning expe- rience for us. We strive to act professionally and to produce a professional product, but we are still stu- dents. Most of us have no experience in personnel man- agement — and have never been responsible for $40,000 of someone else ' s money before. And our leaders in the mass communications department and the Student Publications Committee have never given us any guid- ance. So to our detractors, my staff and I say, we wel- come your concern. If you want a better yearbook, work with us, not against us. That being said, it ' s time to thank those who deserve to be thanked: Jean: You may feel you haven ' t contributed enough. Your job is a lot like the Vice President ' s. But your mere presence has given us more than we needed to see our way through. Kim: It wasn ' t a mere coincidence that you came here. God sent us the abilities that only you could have given. Good luck to you and David next year as you leave us. Mike: Between you and Kim, I don ' t know what I would ' ve done. Probably would ' ve jumped out the win- dow. Your enthusiasm and fresh ideas were a godsend. Thanks. Karen: You came to us in the middle of the year, and you ' ve done more for us than you may think you have. Thank you. Laurie: Another tal- ented Riverdale person. Thanks for coming to our rescue. Ramon: Your part in this book will not be forgotten. Too bad you couldn ' t stay here with us. Jackie: This book has been through alot and a major pain for you. Thanks for trying to turn things around. I ' d also like to thank Keith and John for lis- tening to my com- plaints, Johnny Lovier for his patience and un- derstanding, Charlotte Wright, for teaching me the fundamentals of YRBK, and the Far East for delivering. If ■ I ' ve forgotten anyone, I ' ll acknowledge you in public someday. This is it! The end of the pleasures and pain of my yearbook career. It ' s been worth it.
