1987 Academics 34 Activities 104 Athletics 136 People 168 I n 1849 gold was discovered in California. From all over America, adventurous men and women began the trek to California. They were going for the gold. And we called them ' 49ers. In the fall of 1937 Joplin Junior College began classes. In the fall of 1987 that college will observe its 50th anniversary. Today we call that college Missouri Southern State College. We call the anniversary the golden. We are, thus, in the 49th year of the College, and we ' re going for the gold. Regardless of the year, however, in pursuit of education we ' re going for the gold. In the process, we ' re learning what is valuable, from the trivial to the momentous. We decide whether to sit in the library to study or to go home to watch television and eat popcorn. We decide whether to major in English or in business. We spend a great deal of time weighing the value of things. We discover how we want to shape our lives, what we value. We value the future; we value the past. So as true ' 49ers, preparing with others to celebrate a dream come true, we know the dream began at least 50 years ago. This year, thus, we honor the dreamers and the planners. We honor those who had values. This year we are the ' 49ers, going for the gold. (Right) Dennis Weaver speaks to the students in the Lions ' Den.

Dennis Weaver takes time out to sign autographs in the Lions ' Den during his visit to the College. Weaver visits his alma mater A visit by television personality Dennis Weaver in April 1986 was a highlight for students as well as members of the Missouri Southern Foundation. Although Weaver ' s main purpose in visiting Joplin was to speak at the Lantern Society banquet, he took time to sign autographs, visit with students in the Lions ' Den, and make several appearances around Joplin. It ' s exciting for me to be here he said, There is an attitude here that doesn ' t change. People are friendly Weaver grew up in Joplin and at¬ tended Joplin Junior College. In 1971 he was named Missouri Southern ' s Outstanding Alumnus. Speaking to Southern students about the value of education, Weaver en¬ couraged them to use their talents. I think a college degree is very useful ' he said. What it did for me was give me experience at the college level Experience at the college level is very important. Weaver emphasized finding the talent unique to each person and utiliz¬ ing it to reach goals. Humans have the ability to adapt, he said, You have to use what you have. Commitment and perseverance are very important. Develop what talents you have, and don ' t give up. Weaver ' s goal since childhood has been a career in acting. I knew in my mind that I wanted to be an actor, but in Joplin you don ' t go around telling everyone that. From the time I was a child, I would act out everything. Weaver received a football scholar¬ ship to the University of Oklahoma, where he majored in drama. They had a good drama depart¬ ment, he said. That is how I got started in acting. Perseverance paid off for Weaver. His varied acting career has included six television series, several television movies, and variety shows. The character of Chester in the television series Gunsmoke was one of his most memorable roles. In an interview taped for MSTV ' s Southern Perspective, Weaver gave his wife, Gerry, credit for helping with his career. It was a joint decision not to con¬ tinue with Gunsmoke,’ he said. Everyone told me I should continue with the show since it was a popular show. Since actors are sometimes stereo¬ typed after playing a particular type of role, Gerry Weaver encouraged her husband to take a chance and leave the show. Weaver said he has never been sorry. Having met while attending Joplin Junior College, the Weavers have been married for 46 years. They attribute the strength of their marriage to growing together. You find the sweetest thing you can find, someone who will put up with you, and you marry her, Weaver said. Theatre students also had an oppor¬ tunity to visit with Weaver in the green room of Taylor Auditorium, There he told the students the secret to acting is to make it real. While in Joplin Weaver also visited Dan Casey, a WMBH disc jockey who was helping to promote Friends Feeding Friends, a program organized to raise money to feed the hungry in the Joplin area. I think what Dan is doing is very important ' Mrs. Weaver said. Weaver founded a similar program, called Love is Feeding Friends, in the Los Angeles area. At the Lantern Society banquet Weaver spoke on The Project for Planetary Peace . The project is an at¬ tempt to draw the common people of the United States and the Soviet Union together and develop friendship be¬ tween the countries.

Traffic was detoured from the site of construction due to dangerous equipment and other obstructions. The addition to Taylor provided more classrooms for education and psychology students and a day care center for parents. (From top to bottom) Construction on Matthews Hall began in 1985. Mov¬ ing into 1986 , the progress of the con¬ struction was obvious. In December of 1986 Matthews was completed and the school of business moved in.

' The Talent Show was a lot of fun, said Vai Williams, director of student activities. The audience really enjoyed the show, and there were really a lot of good acts. Taking first place in the group category was a group of baseball players who called themselves Jerry ' s Kids Presenting a song called Added Up by the Violent Fem¬ mes, the group received $75 for its efforts. Zeta Thu Alpha, a Missouri Southern sorority took se¬ cond with an air-band act to The Leader of the Pack . They were the largest group in the show said Williams. It was a neat performance. The International Club won third place with a worldwide fashion show called Homecoming Queens from Around the World; ' In the individual competition, Shaun LePage, Chart sports editor, sang and played his way to the top prize of $75. Also singing and playing the guitar was Beth Osborne, who received second place. Singer Todd Yearton and comedian Kelly Weils tied for third place.

Outstanding Alumnus Mark Claussen, a 1974 graduate of Missouri Southern , rides in the Homecoming parade with his son. Claussen credits Southern for Very good background ' C rediting Missouri Southern for providing a very good back¬ ground in math and physics ' astrophysicist Mark J. Claussen was the Outstanding Alumnus for 1986. Claussen, a 1974 graduate, original ' ly came to Southern as a mathematics major. He later realized it was not for him. I planned on going into the math field, he said. But my junior and senior years I turned to physics. I wanted to go into astronomy Claussen ' s mother, brother, and friends had been interested in astronomy for several years. His older brother, Sam, is currently an assistant professor of theatre at Southern. I had to decide what to do after I graduated, Claussen said. I don ' t know what the impetus was, but I decided math wasn ' t it The change in career choice has worked to Claussen ' s advantage. He is currently employed by the University of Massachusetts as a senior research fellow. The university is the home of the Five College Radio Astronomy Observatory, which houses the largest single telescope of its kind in the U.S. I have been fortunate to be at places on the cutting edge of astronomy, said Claussen, and have, in some part, contributed to that leading edge. One of his contributions was in help¬ ing to build and use the three-element millimeter wave interferometer, an in strument used in high-frequency radio astronomy. He became involved with this while serving as a research fellow at the California Institute of Technology. Through the use of these instruments, Claussen has found evidence that a black hole actually ex¬ ists in our own galaxy. Recently, he has obtained information pertaining to starbursts in another galaxy Before going to Cal-Tech, Claussen earned a bachelor of sciennce degree in mathematics from Southern, his master ' s degree in physics from New Mexico State University and his Ph.D, also in physics, from the University of Iowa. After graduating from Carl Junciton High School in 1970, Claussen and his parents decided Southern was the col¬ lege to attend. I picked Missouri Southern for several reasons, he said. It was close to home, and I had a president ' s scholarship. I didn ' t see any point in going somewhere else; the cost was a lot more, and it wasn ' t worth it. We felt the reputation of Southern was good enough. Although Claussen was at first a mathematics major, he spent much time working in the theatre department. I had been to the theatre with Sam even before I started school at Southern he said. I enjoyed it, and followed up on what he was doing. The department gave monetary awards every semester, and I received a small scholarship that paid my tui¬ tion. While working in theatre, Claussen said three faculty members made an impression on him. They were Milton Brietzke, director of theatre; Duane Hunt, assistant professor; and Joyce Bowman, assistant professor. All three are still employed by the College. Claussen also recalled mathematics faculty members. I remember Paul Jenson. He was an instructor, and also my adviser, said Claussen. He also worked in the theatre. Martha McCormick, professor of mathematics, and Charles Allen, assis¬ tant professor of mathematics, also stand out in his memory Allen would come into class without any notes, he said. In his class, we had to prove things, and he could just stand up there and prove them. He gave me a very good background in math. After Claussen ' s decision to leave mathematics for physics, he realized he needed to beef up his physics. Two instructors—Marion Sloan, assis¬ tant professsor of physics; and Dr, Russ Phillips, professor of physics; were considered by Claussen to be quite good for an undergraduate school Said Claussen, With Southern be¬ ing a small school and not in the mainstream, for its size I received a very good background in math and physics. It was very good for its size. i (Clockwise from top right) Willie Laster (No. 42) moves inside for a lay-up against Pittsburg State as Dwight McGlothin and Reggie Grantham (No. 20) a waif a possible rebound, Beth Greer (No. 5) concentrates on a set shot- Ed Miller manuevers the ball down- field for the soccer Lions , Keith Borucki passes to a teammate.

After falling 3-1 to Grand Canyon College in the opening round, Missouri Southern bounced back to beat Southern Tech Institute of Georgia 23-3 to tie tournament records for most runs scored and most runs batted in (21). The Lions were then knocked out of the double-elimination event with an 8-3 loss to Point Park (Pa.) College. Catcher-outfielder Joe Janiak, se¬ cond baseman Chris Adams, and pit¬ cher Tim Williams received an honorable mention to the NAIA All- American team. The Lions finished the 1986 season with a 36-27 overall record. 26 i ■ 1986 Softball I n their most successful season ever, the 1986 Lady Lions soft- ball team claimed fourth place in the NAIA Championships in San Antonio, Texas, In the national tournament Missouri Southern routed Wheeling (W.Va ] College 9-0, then dropped a 2-Q decision to the host school, St. Mary s University The Lady Lions came back with victories over St. Xavier College of Chicago (1-Q), the University of Wisconsin-Parkside (2-0], and Washburn University ( 3 - 2 ). St, Mary ' s, which captured the national title, ousted Southern from the double-elimination event with a 4-3 victory. Shortstop Renee Livell became the first Lady Lions player selected to the NAIA All-American first team. Pitcher Lana Ray singer and third baseman Kim House were both second team picks. The Lady Lions ended the cam¬ paign with a 44-13 overall record.

Special guests included Gov. John Ashcroft, Sen. John Danforth, Congressman Gene Taylor, and State Auditor Margaret Kelly. According to Helen Chickering, manager of the Jasper County Republican Headquarters, Bond and Danforth were to be the only ones to appear, but then the others decided to come also. The decision to have the rally at Southern was based upon the fact that it was not a place of con¬ troversy and that it would give Bond the oppor¬ tunity to talk with the students. All this district is very important to him because we are basically a Republican area, said Chickering, If you get all the voters out you ' re going to win it. Chickering pointed out that they were trying to encourage people to vote due to the fact that 1986 was an off year, and that many tended not to vote thinking their candidate would win anyway. Four days after the rally Bond defeated Harriett Woods for the U.S, Senate, and Kelly edged TVavis Morrison to keep her position as state auditor.

According to Erin Ray director of the enrichment program,, enrollment in¬ creased from 93 students in 1985 to 185 students in 1986. Ray believes there were two main reasons for the increase. The program was so well received the first year that many of the kids went back and told their friends about it she said. We also had better publicity Although Ray said there were no ex¬ act figures on the number of return students, many students returned for their second dose of Southern ' s Plus. We extended the age limit one year to change classes since they were spread out from the technology building to Taylor Hall, she said. Of the 37 classes offered, 24 were filled to the required limit of 10 to 20 students per class. Students were given a wide range of courses to choose from. They could learn to make a robot, build their own rocket, learn gun safety take and develop their own pictures, produce their own television program, study the water quality of a local stream, learn the fundamentals of golf, or a number of other things. The purpose is to provide an en¬ joyable experience where the students can learn to love to learn said Ray. The instructors, however, were quick to point out that the students were not the only ones having fun, David Tillman, who taught Exer¬ cises in Aquatic Biology, discovered that the young students were en¬ thusiastic about learning. He also pick¬ ed up some tricks to keep his class run¬ ning smoothly. They need to stay busy, he said. Their attention span is sometimes limited, so you need to keep them in¬ volved. After that they will take it on their own Television Inside-Out was the name of the class taught by Judy Stiles. She also found that the students were enthusiastic about what they were doing. They seemed real interested and eager to learn and to do things said Stiles. The first day they were kind of quiet and didn ' t say much, but after that they were ready to go each day. On the last day of the program the students, parents, and instructors met for an assembly to show what had been covered in the 12-day session. Highlights of this meeting included newspaper students handing out the first edition of Southern ' s Plus Gazette , theatre students performing a song and dance skit, the German class students reciting the Fledge of Allegiance, and the Indian folklore students presenting their handmade shawl to Ray. The finale included the launching of a rocket made by students in Dennis Sut¬ ton ' s Aerospace Education and Rockets class. 133 Academics {Below} Student nurses take a break in the Lions ' Den.

Art department strives for creativity P roducing creative individuals is the goal of the art department at Missouri Southern. Southern ' s art department has 60 students majoring in the field of art. The department offers bachelor of art degrees, with emphasized areas of studio art and graphic communica¬ tions, and a bachelor of science degree in education. Our main goal in the art depart¬ ment is to create an atmosphere for the production of art by students, instill in them a sense of artistic quality and to produce creative individuals ' said Yal Christensen, acting head of the department. Other faculty members include Nathanial Cole; Garry Hess; Ed Wong- Ligda; Judith Nobel-Fowlcr; and Jon Fowler, department head, who was on leave during the 1986 fall semester. One of the advantages to Southern ' s art department is the diversity of the instructors ' said Wong-Ligda, instruc¬ tor of two-dimensional, studio art. The disadvantage is the fact that there aren ' t many of us, and we can ' t speak for everyone on a given subject. The teachers are really helpful. They seem to know what everybody ' s art work is all about, said Donna Schwegman, senior art student. They are also very capable of helping you to strengthen your weak points. They also spend as much time with you as you need because there are fewer art students ' said Schwegman. A degree in art can lead to very diverse job opportunities—in studio art, graphic design, and teaching, for example. According to Christensen, graphic communications is concerned with advertising, printing, catalog design, and numerous other aspects. There are many personal benefits derived from the field of art. There are certain concerns I must think about in my own work and, while teaching my students, I can discuss these concerns and clarify them to myself, said Wong-Ligda. It also gives me time to work on my own art Christensen said, To me, a personal benefit would be to instill in my students a sense of personal worth that they can control elements in their en¬ vironment and to give them an aesthetic awareness of that environ¬ ment. The world of art is also a tough and frustrating one. Sometimes it gets frustrating because what I see in my mind I can ' t get on canvas, said Schwegman. It helps to motivate you, but it can also discourage you. The most difficult part about art is the self-discipline it takes to do it, said Wong-Ligda. Eighty per cent of art is intangible, and we can t teach it. To me, something that would seem very important and difficult is practic¬ ing and relating to the times, said An¬ nabels Fuhr, a junior art student. Art in the past was a form of revolt, and you have to be able to relate to the world around you. It ' s basically another form of communication. If I was giving advice to someone about art, it would have ot be ' try it and see how far you can go ' , said Schwegman. A lot of people are afraid of art because they think it will be childish, but they should at least give it a try. Advice I would give a student is if they really enjoy it and it ' s something they have to do, do it; if not, leave it alone, said Wong-Ligda. They will need that type of enthusiasm to get them through the hard times they will face. 381 .l ) f I Students listen and observe as art teacher Ed Wong-Ligda demonstrates perspective drawings , Students practice sketching.

Curriculum demanding M aking students better pre¬ pared to face the world is only one goal of the biology department. Dr. Vonnie Prentice, professor of biology is the head of the department and has occupied that position since 1983. In the past few years, there has been a change in the department from classical toward more modern biology said Prentice. Prentice explained that the cur¬ riculum is based primarily on cellular and molecular biology. According to Dr. James Jackson, pro¬ fessor of biology the study of biology is getting more complex every yean Our quality of education is as good or better than other institutions, he said. While Dr. John Messick, assistant professor of biology feels the cur¬ riculum for the department is deman¬ ding, he does not think this is exculsive. All departments are demanding if the students are dedicated, he said. During the 1986-87 school year, there were 235 biology majors on cam¬ pus, Of that number, 91 were straight biology majors, while the other 144 studied under more specific areas. Three examples are; pre-optometry, pre-dental, and environmental health. The environment here makes it easy to do well, said senior pre-dental major Sam Miller. The teachers are outstanding, said junior Stan Harding. They have a genuine interest in students. Currently studying environmental health, senior Michael Hillman plans to seek employment in a quality con¬ trol laboratory after graduation. The education and facilities here are top quality, said Hillman. Biomes is a course in which students take extended field trips. We ' ve been to the Bahamas and Central America Messick said. One effect of the course is that it broadens a student ' s horizons from a biological and cultural standpoint, We have internships which are rewarding for a small but growing number of students, he said. Some have worked in hospitals and greenhouses. According to Jackson, the depart¬ ment has been highly successful in placing students after their graduation. With the completion of the construc¬ tion on Reynolds Hall, there will be a total of eight biology laboratories. Including Prentice, there are nine faculty members. Seven have doc¬ torate degrees. A challenging curriculum, dedicated students, and excellent teachers are on¬ ly three reasons why the biology department is one of the most suc¬ cessful on campus.

Mutual sites or resort surroun¬ dings may also be arranged. Some pro¬ grams offered are in the fields of com¬ puter technology management, com¬ munication, and retailing. Past participants who have enrolled in the Center ' s programs have come from industries such as food process¬ ing, banking, engineering, electronics, chemical, health care, insurance, and manufacturing The program was started for two reasons; the first being philosophical The second was a pragmatic approach. The Joplin Champer of Commerce desired to start a subcommittee on education and business training The program was then started at Southern after being approved by the College president In the future Tiede would like to see the Center become a full-time entity ' Eight now we don ' t have a separate entity ' said Tiede. In about five years or so 1 would like to be a full-time en¬ tity. {Top!

Retailing is one of the fastest grow¬ ing businesses today. This opens up many opportunities for marketing and management majors. We prepare students as best we can for the changing world, Johnson said. That is our goal. An emphasis is placed on com¬ munication and problem-solving skills within the fields. These skills are then applied in group projects that are always striving for improvement. Marketing and management is half art and half science said Donald Baack, assistant professor of business. You learn the science and practice the | art There are ma ny different areas in which a business degree can be applied. This flexibility makes it a lot easier to find a job said Baack, The entrepreneur and small business institute programs have enhanced the marketing and manage¬ ment major, according to Baack.

(Above) Don Sene her, director of the Police Acadamey, law enforcement , and criminal justice, checks his grade book during office hours r Classes provide insight on what life really like D on Seneker, director of the criminal justice program, has enjoyed watching the program grow over the years. The Police Academy has been a part of Missouri Southern since 197L Right now we have about 300 ma¬ jors, and of that about 100 are women, said Jack Spurlin, assistant professor of law enforcement. Spurlin and Jim Williams both teach at the academy. Williams went through the academy in the 1970 ' s, and received both an associate and a bachelor ' s degree in general study. One of the unique qualities this pro¬ gram has is that the professors have all had hands-on experience in the law en¬ forcement field. According to Sharon Platanitis, a sophomore in the program, The classes give you ideas of what life is really like. Even though the law enforcement field has a lot of jobs, not all students are cut out for this career field, and because the competition is so great it may be hard to find a job ' said Seneker. More and more women are getting involved in criminal justice because there seems to be more demand for them ' said Spurlin. Joby Brauburger, a senior in the pro¬ gram, believes it is different than most other classes. You have to know and understand your information. When you ' re out on the job you can ' t go look up an answer; you have to know whether or not to shoot or give a ticket ' he said. According to Brauburger, teacher- student relations are strong at the academy, and that ' s not all. Because students get hands-on experience they have a better chance to become familiar with various equipment, techniques, and situations they may face on the job. Upgrading the quality of criminal justice in southwest Missouri is one of Seneker ' s goals. In order to do this he feels there must be a great deal of teaching. The academy is offering a wide vari- ty of classes such as: introduction to law enforcement, criminal law, criminal procedures, probation and parole, juvenile corrections, and basic photography to name just a few. A total of 25 classes are offered. Students don ' t have to be a criminal justice major to take any of these classes. There are approximately 1,000 students who take courses just for their own information. Because crime and violations against law will always be a problem, Platanitis and Brauburger believe this field will always have a demand for law enforcers. However, due to the growth of law enforcement over the years there are more students becom¬ ing interested in the field, which means more competition for good jobs. This program is like planting trees, said Seneker, A little bit of growth oc¬ curs each year, and if you ' re in the pro¬ gram for immediate satisfation, you ' re in the wrong kind of work.

Debaters start season with win D ebaters at Missouri Southern started off the season with a win on their way to a suc¬ cessful season. The debate team of TVe Hall and Todd Graham won the tournament held at Johnson County Community College. It was a nice honor, said Graham. The tournament was very large. The national champions from last year were there, and we beat them. It was our first win Last year the debate squad ranked in the top 30 in the nation at the end of the season. That was the best finish ever for Southern. At one point in the season, the squad was ranked in the top 10. We had a great year last year, said debate coach Dick Finton. When Graham and Hall capped off the season at nationals by taking seventh, I knew that this year would be even better since everyone was returning to the squad. Because debate requires much hard work and research, debaters spend a great deal of time working in the library We drive to the University of Arkansas several times in a semester, said Hall. The library here at Southern doesn ' t have everything we need, so we take research trips to Arkansas, Among the colleges where the team competed last year were Oklahoma Christian College, University of Missouri-St Louis, Southwest Missouri State, Texas A M, and Wichita State. Other members on the debate squad include Kevin Doss, Scooter Thrner, Dennis Mailes, David Watkins, Joyce Mason, and Chris Christian. After the first three tournaments this year we are ranked seventh in the nation, said Mailes. That is our best start ever, Finton said he likes to coach debate because of the competition and the students. We finished in the top five in our district last year, said Finton, That is the first time in the history of Southern that this happened. We set a lot of per¬ sonal records last year, Pinion ' s goal for this year was to finish in the top 20 in the nation at the end of the season, and to have all his debaters finish with at least 65 per cent win-loss records. In the last four years, the program has made substantial gains, said Graham. We have come from an average program to one of the best in the nation. We ' re getting a lot of recognition, said Finton. A lot of coaches and students see the strides we have taken, and are recommending Southern as the place to go to school if you want to debate. Robert Clark supervises as communications students (from left to right) Diana Bain, Jerri-Lynn Shelby, Kent Huff, and Linda Joyce learn production skills at the Missouri Southern Television studio which is located on campus. MSTV offers hands-on experience I nvaluable hands-on training can be obtained by the student who takes advantage of the oppor¬ tunities Missouri Southern Television offers. Students who participate in the ac¬ tivities of MSTV may gain experience not only in the technical aspect behind the camera, but in the performance aspect in front of the camera as well. Doug Musick, a sophomore at the College, became involved with MSTV at the beginning of the 1986 fall semester. After only one month in the program he was able to work all of the camera equipment and the editing machine. He now holds a prominent position as cameraman and as a member of the technical crew. J ' I like to call myself a basic produc¬ tion kind of guy ' he said. Musick is just one of several students who are involved with behind the camera work. Another student who has been in the communications program for two years and has been involved with MSTV is Mitch Hiilyer. It ' s a wonderful experience ' said Hiilyer. More people should get in¬ volved. Hiilyer also mentioned that he met most of his friends, including his girlfriend, while working at the televi¬ sion station. One of those friends, Shaun LePage, graduated with a communications degree at the end of the fall semester. LePage said he left with the best possi¬ ble experience in the broadcasting field he could possibly receive. He explain¬ ed that this was due to the fact that MSTV is only three years old and is still an infant. This opens the doors for more experience to the students who are involved with the broad¬ casting emphasis of communications. You can ' t beat the impact of learn¬ ing by not only seeing but doing as well, said LePage. All students are welcome to become involved with MSTV, even if they are not communications majors. The door is open to anyone who may be interested. At MSTV, students are also given the chance to produce their own shows. Two of the most popular shows in¬ clude Southern Specials, a show that interviews students from the campus who were involved with extra¬ curricular activities, and Fitness Con¬ nection, a show that involves health food and exercise tips. Other shows produced by students include MSTV Magazine, hosted by various students; Recovery For All Ages hosted by Melanie Hicks; and Southern Today, hosted by Pat Halverson. Judy Stiles, director of community affairs, said she enjoys working with the students because they always have fresh ideas. MSTV offers great opportunities not only for students to get hands-on training, but for the College to have a direct link with the community The coordinator of instructional television, Wallace Matthews, also works with the students at the station. ' Tve been here at Southern for 15 years, and in my opinion, MSTV is one of the greatest things that has hap¬ pened to Missouri Southern State Col¬ lege, he said. Morris Sweet, chief engineer, in¬ structs the students with most of the technical equipment. MSTV is a great experience for hands-on training ' he said. Dr. Robert Clark, station manager, also believes MSTV offers valuable ex¬ perience to the student along with many opportunities. The fact that three of the students in¬ volved with MSTV are presently work¬ ing at a local television station and are gaining essential experience proves that MSTV is a good program.

Education department top quality T oday ' s students are tomorrow ' s teachers and must be well- educated in order to educate others. The success rate of Missouri Southern graduates in finding jobs in¬ dicates the College ' s education depart - meet is top quality. According to Dr. Jim Sandrin, department head, a survey taken over the last four years indicates that about 90 per cent of Southern education graduates find teaching jobs. The College prepares students for teacher certification in many areas, in¬ cluding early childhood, elementary education, and special education. Ed Wuch, instructor of structures, microteaching, and clinical ex¬ periences, says prospective teachers show academic proficiency, have characteristics of understanding and patience, and have a love for children, 1 enjoy watching children learn and grow into unique individuals ' says Teresa Schilling, a major focusing on elementary education remedial reading. Rick Smith, a major concentrating on psychology special education, en¬ joys working with secondary behavior disorders. He calls it his specialty ' I have worked with behavior disordered adolescents, and by teaching, l will have more time to spend with them ' he said. Marilyn Holloway a major focusing on elementary education remedial reading, says she first decided to become a teacher as a junior in high school after joining Future Teachers of America. There is mutual respect between the students and the faculty of the educa¬ tion department. The faculty student ratio is low in classrooms and allows for an excellent teaching learning relationship, We have a dedicated faculty and top-quality classes across the board, said Sandrin. All students can learn at a high rate if proven practices of teaching are implemented in the classroom. Students learn how to develop and understand teaching and learning skills, teach students within a multicultural society, couple research findings into teaching practices, understand others, and know subject matter, he said. We make sure our students are well-rounded and. have a good background in essential skills, said Wuch. We have blended together courses that approach and attack pro¬ blems from different angles. We provide students with a varie¬ ty of ways of teaching and good com¬ munication skills so that they can deal with students, other teachers, ad¬ ministrators, and parents, he said. Wuch says students can choose dif¬ ferent personalities on the staff and adapt to their teaching styles. The teachers are friendly and try to meet our needs, said Schilling. They have taught us that children are in¬ dividuals and should be treated as such. We have some excellent teachers in the department, said Smith. They relate past experiences to students, help them over the bumps in the road, and steer them away from the problem areas that they can run into in the teaching field.

J The program is designed to prepare students for the outside world said Holloway. We learn how to meet the students ' needs The 700 majors in the education pro¬ gram gain practical experiences and student teaching. As juniors, the majors spend 56 hours in an area school working under another teacher and observing students. As seniors, the majors take part in student teaching in an area school. Wuch, who coordinates clinical ex¬ periences, placed 288 students in public schools during the 1986 fall semester. The students were involved in clinical experiences, reading prac- ticuros, special education practicums, and student teaching. Wuch says clinical experiences give the students pre-student teaching experience. It gives them a chance to interact with students and teachers he said. This is where dedication and commit¬ ment take place. They decide here whether they really want to go into teaching. The commitment to students in education is even more evident since the adoption of the department ' s S.OS, program. Southern s Ongoing Support program is desinged to give aid to graduates who run into difficulties in the teaching field. Faculty members are assigned to assist the graduates with any problems they encounter as teachers. The department of education has produced numerous programs for MSTV. Topics for the 60-minute pro¬ grams have ranged from excellence in teaching to mastery learning. A new addition to the education building was completed this year. The top floor includes the College day-care center and a laboratory for early childhood education training. The bot¬ tom floor consists of two microcom¬ puter laboratories and two microteaching studios. The role of education has become more important in today ' s society. Our role has changed, and we have to be able to teach students to be flex¬ ible, adaptable, and adjustable to their society and environment, said Wuch. Our role is to prepare students for the 21st century, which is right around the corner, said Sandrin. According to Sandrin, the educators ' responsibilities include educating students to their full potential, taking into account the average and the ex¬ ceptional, helping students to make sound decisions about choices in their lives, and helping them to develop critical thinking and coping skills, With the emphasis on excellence in education said Smith, todays teacher has to be better trained and educated in ways to get students in¬ terested in learning. Wuch J $ own perception is that educators will have to spend more time with those that they identify as exceptional children. I look for special education children to be mainstreamed back into regular classrooms, he said, and teachers will have to be trained to deal with them i69 (Right) Roger Paige lectures to one of his psychology classes, (Below, rightJ A psychology student converses with a friend before class .

We ' re attracting as many students as we ever did, if not more said Dr. James Volskay, head of the psychology department, The field of psycology is growing. Psychology is a good background for many jobs he said. Southern ' s psychology department offers three degrees: a bachelor of arts, a bachelor of science, and a bachelor of science in education with emphasis in psychology special education, ' It s not like having a minor in psychology said Voiskay. A lot of background in psychology, which we feel is strong for teaching in public schools,...prepares a person for a job after four years, Most of the students who complete their bachelor ' s degree go on to do graduate study with a wide range of experience. JJ We have a good batting average in terms of helping students get into graduate schools, said Dr. Merrell junkins, professor of psychology. We have a superb department, even though we J re a small school. We have a department in which all faculty have a doctorate, The department offers many courses, including social psychology, physiological psychology, clinical psychology, learning and memory psychology, and educational psychology. Students who complete our pro¬ gram tend to do well said Dr, Brian Babbitt, professor of psychology. With an average of 25 to 30 students in each class, the students and faculty not only get a chance to discuss studies, but also become friends. Students here may not always recognize the benefits of interacting with faculty, said Babbitt. However, the strength of the department lies in the faculty, and the students recognize this fact, Laura Morris, a senior psychology major, said, The faculty are interested In their students, they ' re helpful, they ' re friends besides faculty members, and they ' re good role models. They ' re there whenever you need them, and they ' re willing to help, said Kris Keller, a junior psychology special education major. They stress an overall education, not just psychology, ' said Beth Wawrzyniak, senior psychology major and president of the local Psi Chi chapter, When you graduate with a degree in psychology you ' re ready for life said Wawrzyniak. {Top) Psychology students concentrate on a test.

Classes are designed to teach studnets how to process information , Many opportunities available for computer science majors I ncreased use of computers in bus¬ iness and industry has created a broad spectrum of opportunities for computer science graduates. We have very good placement of our students ' said Dr. John Cragin, head of the computer information science program. Many of our graduates hold very responsible posi¬ tions with major corporations ' To exploit these opportunities, Missouri Southern offers a well- balanced curriculum including a bachelor of science program and an associate of science program. The bachelor program is modeled after the recommended curriculum of the Association for Computing Machinery ' said Cragin. By conforming to these guidelines, graduates are prepared for entry into the field of information processing. The four-year program offers both business and technical options. Approximately 90 per cent of all computer science majors choose the business option ' said Cragin, Most of the jobs are in this general area, However, the other 10 per cent do exceedingly well, he said. They are capable of going in either direction. In addition, the program prepares students for post-graduate work. Many graduate programs are modeled after the same curriculum used by our bachelor program 1 said Cragin. This makes the articulation smoother. Another alternative available to students is the associate of science degree. The program includes 21 hours of computer course work in business or science areas of application. Some students obtain a B.S. degree in another field and combine it with an associate degree in computer infor¬ mation science, said Cragin. This well prepares them for positions in their selected fields ' Night school is also an option available for students. We have a very large enrollment for night school ' said Steve Earney, direc¬ tor of the computer center, We offer a wide variety of courses in the com¬ puting field which are geared toward the employed business person. In addition, the computer center, located in Matthews Hall, provides a hands-on environment is which students may program and solve pro¬ blems in one of the three computer laboratories. The center is open seven days a week to provide maximum availability. The center provides administrative support to the College and area school districts, as well as instructional sup¬ port at Southern. Much of the production work in the computer center is performed by a staff of student employees. The students work about 20 hours per week in positions such as program¬ ming, data entry and as laboratory assistants, he said. The experience has shown to be very valuable to students ' The computer center is equipped with a mainframe computer system with over 70 terminals in two open laboratories with others across cam¬ pus. The two other micro-computer laboratories each house approximate¬ ly 30 IBM Personal Computers. There is a high degree of accessibili¬ ty to the mainframe system, said Cragin. This is not allowed at many universities The computer center offers many valuable services to the College. NOTIS, an automated library system, was recently implemented to provide students and faculty with on-line capabilities with the library from ter¬ minals across campus. The system is scheduled for completion by the 1987 fall semester. Plans are being considered for the system to be available to the communi¬ ty, said Earney. For example, the public library may have capabilities of using a dial-up line to obtain informa¬ tion from the on-line catalogue file Another services being formulated is an on-line transcript service. The purpose of the system is to pro¬ vide advisers with on-line transcript information in an effort to promote better advising for students ' said Earney, The computer information science program, in conjunction with the com¬ puter center, is constantly changing to better meet the needs of the College.

One such new face is Jerry Williams, director of continuing education. Last year a nationwide search for a new director took place which resulted in Williams ' move to Missouri Southern from a junior college in Oklahoma. Since Williams succeeded Dr. David Bingman, some changes have been made in the continuing education program. J The first thing we did was com¬ puterize the office to upgrade the mail¬ ing list and enrollment count ' said Williams. We also tried to extend the off-campus classes, and we did develop a resource pool to encourage people with knowledge of skills to share them with others ' Williams is also working on some other areas that he hopes to have in operation soon. The areas we would like to develop over the next years are the televised classes, the out-reach programs, and we would like to offer more seminars and workshops, said Williams. This year the continuing education program offered 10 off-campus classes which were held in Nevada, Lamar, Mount Vernon, Monett, and at St. John ' s Regional Medical Center in Joplin in addition to the 25 on-campus classes offered by the program. A variety of classes are offered, rang¬ ing from the academic out-reach classes, which are regular college classes taught off campus, to non¬ credit classes such as banjo and sign language, to seminars and workshops to update the skills and maintain licen¬ sing for some professions, Continuing education offers a perfect medium to offer a course to anybody at the college level or in the community, said Dr. Joseph Shields, professor of mathematics and scuba diving instructor for the program. Also under the direction of the con¬ tinuing education department is the 60-plus program. This is designed for individuals over 60 years of age and allows them to take regular college classes at no charge. Our goal is to provide non- traditional alternatives to citizens in the four-state area, Williams said. Shields views the program as valuable because it offers the student a chance to get a continuing education credit that can be transferred to a bac¬ calaureate credit. There is also the possibility of a continuing education class being added on to the regular schedule of classes. According to Williams, the off- campus accessibility for the classes is also appealing to students. Also, most of the classes can run a full course in only six to eight weeks. This fact is a plus for the person pressed for time. Williams said t he favorite classes this year were aerobics and other fitness-related classes, and the arts classes.

(Above) Dale Simpson lectures to a class. English curriculum designed for variety T he fact that 14 instructors have their Fh.D.s makes the English department at Missouri Southern one of the best. Dr. Joseph Lambert, department head, said the curriculum is designed to offer historical periods and different types of literature to nearly 80 English majors. Both British and American literature are offered, and advanced majors may take courses dealing with influential writers and literary figures. Our department is one of the strongest on campus 1 said Dr. Ann Marlowe, professor of English. The students here are willing to learn Marlowe, who has been teaching at Southern since 1971, enjoys the varie¬ ty of the classes taught in the department The professors here have really given me a lot of help, said Melissa Edie, sophomore English major. I think what I like most about the English department is that it has some neat books you can study. I don ' t like any subject as well as 1 do English. Sophomore Sherri Phipps also prefers English over any other subject Each professor I ' ve had has been very helpful to me, she said. Marlowe believes students and teachers are more down to earth here. The only disadvantage is that some students have to work and they are not able to take as many courses as they ordinarily could ' she said. Lynette Snell, a junior English ma¬ jor, appreciates the personal attention she receives from her professors. The organization of the classes is good ' she said. One unusual feature of the depart¬ ment is what is called the Grammar Hotline. Persons may call and ask questions dealing with grammar, Lambert ex¬ plained. We get calls from many peo¬ ple, including lawyers and other business people. According to Lambert, the marketability of English majors is good. He said graduating students have certain communication skills which are attractive to some employers. 781 (Clockwise from top right) Dale Simpson returns papers to one of his classes.

Industrial arts teaches technology 02 | raftsmen, technologists, and It is one of the goals of the industrial mathematicians are a few of the arts program at Missouri Southern to ' characteristics of an industrial give the students the necessary hands- arts major at Missouri Southern, ' 1 like to call it arts of industry or in¬ dustrial education ' said Dennis K. Sut¬ ton, assistant professor of industrial arts. industrial arts is teaching the technology of industry and how to use the various tools by applying the use of technology 1 he said. One tool the students use from the world of technology is the computer. They use the computer to run a pro¬ gram to figure widths, depths, etc. of projects they are working on. Aside from the use of tools, the students must be able to apply what they have learned in their mathe¬ matics, physics, and chemistry classes to various projects. Industrial arts is more than just the teaching of industry—it is the educa¬ tion of technology This gives the stu¬ dent the opportunity to go into the career of teaching drafting, metals, wood, power technology plastics, etc. on experience for future jobs. Our goals for the industrial arts pro¬ gram is to see it grow and help the students become better prepared for teaching industrial arts or for a job with industry as a production super¬ visor or training director ' said Sutton. ' Companies are looking for people not only who know the technical part, but who can also work with their hands ' Industrial arts can prove to be more enlightening to a person than just gain¬ ing knowledge on the use of tools. A person must also be able to use some psychology in helping students over¬ come the obstacles encountered. There is a lot of self satisfaction ' said Sutton, in helping students over¬ come problems ' Some students first get interested in the industrial arts field because it relates to their hobbies or factory work. The students are also attracted to the industrial arts field because of the dif¬ ferent jobs they can obtain from it. Tt is something that covers all areas 1 said David Cant ref a junior in¬ dustrial arts major. It is not just a limited field—it gives you a pretty big arena of different jobs you can get ' The program at Southern has several positive aspects which work toward helping the student. For instance, it has a small student-to-teacher ratio, and the instructors know all the students on a first name basis. The teachers are able to work with the students on problems with par¬ ticular projects ' said Sutton. We are trying to teach the students to use their hands in conjunction with their minds. The students seem to enjoy and really learn from the program, he add¬ ed. ,J We try to prepare them as best as possible for the everyday learning situation ' Southern s industrial arts program hopes to grow even more in the future and increase the number of industrial arts majors.

In the statewide review program we ended up fifth in the state in terms of the number of majors ' said Dr. J. Larry Martin, who became depart¬ ment head in 1973. Tabby Sprenkle, a junior mathe¬ matics major, said, ■ 4 I think Dr. Mar¬ tin is one of the best department heads. J really like him a lot. ' 4 Sprenkle plans to become a junior high mathematics teacher after her graduation from Southern. Besides being large, the mathematics department is active as well. There is a mathematics club for the majors and also an honorary organisation—Mppa Mu Epsilon—for the people who meet membership requirements. The mathematics club has three an¬ nual socials—a float trip down Elk River or Shoal Creek, a gift exchange at Christmas, and a spring cookouL t We have joint meetings with the mathematics clubs of Southwest Missouri State University and Drury College ' said Mary Elick, co-sponsor. Kappa Mu Epsilon was installed at Southern in 1975. Since then it has in itiated 112 students. In April some members of Kappa Mu Epsilon at Southern attended the national convention at San Luis Obispo, Calif. There the students were able to meet and exchange ideas with other students from over 100 chapters across the nation. The department also sponsors a mathematics league for area high schools. The schools are divided into different levels depending upon their size. Plaques are given to the top three teams at each level, and a scholarship is given to the top senior at each level. Robert Stokes, a sophomore mathe¬ matics major, said, We have a real strong faculty. I think we have a good- as-possible department for our size of college. In fact, I know that some of the faculty members have taught at big universities. I feel that mathematics is very challenging ' said freshman Beth Greer. And the faculty are always there to give you help when you go to them. Kick agreed with Greer and said, Mathematics majors generally have a close relationship with the faculty. i83 (Clockwise from top right) The Community Choralers perform in Phinney Hall Clive Swansbourne plays at his concert last fall.

The sax¬ ophone section joins in with the band during rehearsal 841 Quality is music department ' s goal S triving for quality is the goal of Missouri Southern ' s music depart¬ ment. The music department ' s goal is to continue to provide quality musical ex¬ periences for the College, community, and area, said Pete Havely head of the department of fine arts. We have con¬ tinually strived to identify areas or aspects that need improvement and have continued to work toward that improvement. The music department ' s four main areas include choir, piano, orchestra, and band, with small ensembles bran¬ ching from each area. The orchestra is somewhat different from the other performing organiza¬ tions in that it is actually a Coi- lege community orchestra. Musicians from the community and students alike are able to perform together. They perform once each semester. The band, which receives more public exposure than the other perfor¬ ming organizations, performs for home football games, area high school foot¬ ball games, professional football games, and parades. In the fall it is a marching band and in the spring it is a concert band. The band this year was the largest and the best it has ever been said Havely. William Elliott, associate professor of music, has taught at Southern for 19 years and has been able to see the con¬ tinual growth and improvement of the music department. The music department went through a period of early growth and a period of holding its own, and a slight decline said Elliott, But in the last three years there has been a growth in students, an increase in quality of in¬ structors, and because of this we are growing. The quality of instructors is impor¬ tant to any department. Good instruc¬ tors help give the students a good at¬ titude toward being involved in the ac¬ tivities offered. I like the friendly atmosphere, and the faculty seem to know what they are doing, said sophomore music ma¬ jor Dennis Spille. It is always important for the students to enjoy the classes and ac¬ tivities in which they participate. I like the marching band, said Paul Mulik, a senior music major. It is a fine organization which is fun to be a part of. I ' m a section leader, and I real¬ ly enjoy that. Aside from the performing organiza¬ tions offered, there is a class called music appreciation for those needing to fill the general education requirement, A music major may select his degree program from three areas of emphasis: instrumental, vocal, or piano. ' These majors can lead to perform¬ ing, teaching, and any other music career such as music therapy or the recording industry, said Havely. Students are able to obtain scholar¬ ships in music such as the patron ' s scholarship and the performing music awards. A student not majoring in music but a member of the band, for instance, is eligible to receive a perfor¬ ming music award. The music department hopes to grow and improve with each new school year. It is a good music department and a growing music department, said Havely, As it grows, the quality im¬ proves i85 Students maintain high employment G raduates of the nursing pro¬ gram at Missouri Southern maintain a rate of employment near 100 per cent. Our students are sought after, par¬ ticularly by area hospital ad¬ ministrators said Dr. Betty Ipock, director of the nursing program. In the past, they have proven to do a good job The graduates of the associate degree program are prepared to func¬ tion as beginning staff nurses. However, Ipock said, Many associate degree graduates have been promoted to management and administrative positions. Upon successful completion of the two-year program, graduates are eligi¬ ble to apply to write the examination for licensure as a registered nurse. ' Our graduates have maintained an outstanding success rate on the licen¬ sure exam, she said. We have been commended on the high rate of suc¬ cess by the state board of nursing. In the course of a year, over 100 ap¬ plicants apply for only the 35 positions available in the associate degree nurs¬ ing program. From the applications, students are carefully selected based on high school and college academic performances, reading and com¬ prehension skills, scores on the ACT and pre-nursing tests, and a personal interview. It helps if an applicant has ex¬ perience, said first-year student Yvonne Thomas, LPN. This helps to screen applicants to reduce the pro¬ bability of them completing the two- year program and discovering they are not cut out for the profession. The number of students accepted are limited based on the number man¬ dated by the state, said Marilyn Jacobs, assistant professor of nursing. The number is based on the facilities available in the area for clinical prac¬ tice Depending upon particular course requirements, students spend from eight to 16 hours per week each semester in health care agencies apply¬ ing theory to clinical situations. Clinical experience is supervised by the College nursing faculty. It is a time for students to put knowledge into practice, said Jacobs. It is the most important part of the program. Joplin ' s major health care facilities participate in Southern ' s nursing pro¬ gram. Students complete rotations in medical and surgical nursing, obstetrics, pediatrics, oncology, long¬ term care, and psychiatric nursing. It gives a student basic knowledge of what is required of a nurse, said second-year student Rick Metsker. We are responsible for checking vital signs, charting, and providing basic care to assigned patients. The expanding role of the profes¬ sional nurse and the increasing com¬ plexity of health care delivery demands that nurses pursue advanced education on either a formal or infor¬ mal basis. Southern ' s bachelor of science degree nursing program is a two-year upper divison program designed to provide the next vital step in the education of the professional R.N. The baccalaureate degree program began in 1984. The first class of students graduated from the program last year. With enrollment limited to 20 students, candidates are admitted on¬ ly in the fall semester each year. To be eligible, an applicant must be a registered nurse or eligible for licen¬ sure, have a minimum of one year work experience in professional nurs¬ ing, and have current liability in¬ surance coverage. The program is geared for the full¬ time employed registered nurse, said Jacobs. The BSN program focuses on (Top) Nursing students (from left to right) Donna Dewey, Curtis Townsend, and Steve Hart listen to a lecture. (Above) Mabel Lombrano (left) and Gary Cameron study a handout as Jane Steele Hahn leads a discussion . 86 community nursing and management skills. Nurses in the BSN program are in¬ volved in community health clinicals. This includes industrial, home health, and school nursing. About 75 per cent of the R.N s in the program work at a hospitalsaid senior BSN student Susie McDonald; RN. The experience gained from the community health clinicals opens one ' s eyes to other areas of nursing outside the hospital setting. A network of communication develops with other nurses in the community McDonald says there is a nation¬ wide movement toward the bac¬ calaureate degree in nursing ' Many states have passed legislation requiring a BSN degree for entry-level positions The faculty at Southern are active professional nurses themselves, with master ' s and doctoral degrees, We come from a variety of special¬ ty areas ' said Jacobs. We use each other for resources purposes in our teaching ' The nursing faculty and its students are actively involved in the communi¬ ty and on campus. They assist in com¬ munity health screenings, blood pressure checks for senior citizens, campus bloodmobiles, and athletic physicals at the College. Nursing students are honored for outstanding accomplishments at a pin¬ ning ceremony held the night before the College ' s commencement ac¬ tivities. The Kuhn Award is given to the outstanding associate degree graduate and the Ipock Achievement Award is given to the outstanding graduate of the baccalaureate program, It takes both a strong knowlegde base and a caring personality to be a good nurse, said Jacobs. We think our students are the best. We demand a lot, and they measure up. (Top) A student donates blood during the Red Cross Blood Mobile t with which Southern ' s nursing students assisted .

We want social science majors to be able to do graduate work in almost any field they want and have the background to do well. St. Clair, who has taught at Southern for 23 years, said, When I first came to Southern most social science majors wanted to be teachers. Now, in addi¬ tion to teaching, students use social sciences as a building block in order to go into the field which interests them the most ' There are Missouri Southern social science graduates working across the country, from Washington DC. to Seat¬ tle, Wash., and around the world from Germany to Guam. Students are engaged in a variety of occupations. They take positions in government, museums and archives, social service agencies, and the law, to name a few, according to Dr. Judith Con boy, head of the department, ' Our primary goal is to educate students, and this process includes assisting them in the development of critical thinking, writing, and com¬ municating ' said Conboy. Conboy said, Our second major goal is to teach the students the con¬ tent of the disciplines in the social sciences. From the students ' perspective, Rob Piatt, a junior sociology major from Washburn Mo, r said, ' Missouri Sou thern is a good local institution. The teachers are adequate and really get involved with the students. Piatt plans on going to graduate school, getting a master ' s degree in an¬ thropology, and doing field work in a foreign culture. Eric Browne, a sophomore social studies major from Hannibal, Mo., plans to do his graduate work and become a teacher. Browne said, ' The social science department has a good faculty and teaches the basics well. It is a small school, but it can give students more individual training. Concerning changes in the depart¬ ment, Conboy said, In the future we will see the addition of courses in public history and applied political science. The courses will complement our existing internships in sociology and paralegal studies as well as the in¬ dependent study available at George Washington Carver Museum and the Dorothea B. Hoover Museum, We also expect to emphasize the minors available in the social sciences for use as supporting areas with other majors. Browne added that Southern need¬ ed more classes in European history, and Piatt said the need for an¬ thropology program was important. With the rise of enrollment at Southern all of the departments are growing ' said St. Clair, but as long as w r e teach our students to analyze, reason, and get along with people, we will be fulfilling our goals in the department. 90 i (Top) Judith Conboy, Michael Yates (center), and Robert Markman join in a panel discussion during multi-cultural week.

Theatre has ' quality ' department C onsistent, quality work is the product of the theatre depart¬ ment at Missouri Southern, Offering the bachelor of arts and bachelor of science in education degrees, the theatre department con¬ sists of 25-30 students majoring in that field and close to 30 students involved in it for the avocation. jr We have a solid, quality depart¬ ment ' said Milton Brietzke, head of the theatre department. ' For as small a department as we have, we produce very consistent, quality work ' I think the theatre program at Southern is one of the best in the state, said Karen Hill, a junior theatre major. It is large enough to offer quality education and small enough to allow each student to have a part in a lot of things—acting, sound, lighting, and carpentry, for instance. ' Other theatre faculty members in¬ clude Sam Claussen, Joyce Bowman, Duane Hunt, and Trij Brietzke. We have great teachers who have helped me through a lot, said Hill. We are like one big family This past school year, the theatre department performed four major pro¬ ductions, as well as 10 student-directed one-act plays. The major productions were A Pack of Lies, Cinderella , Greensleeves Magic , and A Fun ny Thing Happened On the Way to the Forum. The long-range goals of the depart¬ ment are to have added staff and the expertise to stage musicals, said Brietzke. A degree in theatre offers a student more than just the basic acting experience. The skills learned here have ac¬ quired jobs for students in areas such as stage management, lighting, direc¬ ting, public relations, television, radio, church youth groups, teaching, and professional acting, said Brietzke. The benefits of a theatre degree are unlimited, said Claussen. In the business world they want employees with liberal arts degrees, and theatre gives the widest area of any degree, There are also personal benefits derived from theatre and acting. One of the best personal benefits to me is getting to see your work put in¬ to a production, said Claussen. You also get to work with all types of peo¬ ple Theatre is not only entertaining for the audience—it is exciting for the participants. ' Opening night is definitely the most exciting part, said Claussen. Everything is exciting because you get to do a little of everything, said Hill. In one part 1 played I had to learn to speak Spanish, and I also had to learn to acquire a British accent. To many majors, the most important part of theatre is the play itself. An average production consists of close to 90 hours rehearsal time and 200 hours research time. A production takes six to eight weeks to put together. A play is a lot of hard work, said Claussen. If I was giving advice to someone interested in theatre I would have to say ' Be ready to make personal sacrifices and be dedicated. ' It ' s the mark of a professional. 92 i Clockwise from top right) The set for Tack of Lies ' as it ap¬ pears under construction. Dawn Ehrenberg works on props.

ROTC program outstanding A long with not judging a book by its cover, somewhere there must be an adage about not judging an ROTC program. But when compared with larger ones around the state, the Missouri Southern program always seem to stand out. The program is small because we, as a college, are small ' said Jonathan Johns, an MS III cadet and com¬ munications major, Being small, I feel, is what makes Southern ' s ROTC program so good. We have better con¬ tact with our leaders, and the cadets here all seem to have a family-type relationship. This relationship allows us to work as a team, and that is how the Army works. Johns, a junior, was commissioned as a second lieutenant in May One thing that makes Southern stand out is that nine of its cadets have completed airborne training, and eight more will receive their airborne wings by the time the 1987 fall semester comes. That ratio is outstanding. Captain Robert M, Bella ms said, Southern ' s ROTC program is definite¬ ly above average. Out of the top five cadets graduating from Southern and Southwest Missouri State University combined, four were ours. The role of any ROTC program is to commission students for National Guard, Army Reserve, or active Army service. ROTC programs around the nation provide for 75 per cent of America ' s military officers, said Master Sergeant David E. Dobbs. That ' s more than the military schools put out There must be a reason why ROTC programs put out so many soldiers. One, is that you can get your military training and still enjoy a campus life, said Dobbs, Another one is that it lets you get a degree and set your goals for finishing school ' Getting all that along with learning leadership roles makes ROTC an entic¬ ing step for those students wanting to pursue a military careen ROTC helped me set and achieve my goals, said Cory Steinke, a com¬ munications major who graduated from Southern in December and was commissioned a second lieutenant Later that same month, I always wanted to fly, but I felt it was just too far out of my reach ' Steinke was accepted into flight school on Jan. 12, 1987. Within a span of two months he went from student, to second lieutenant, to pilot. I am not saying it was that easy. It was a lot of work, and I ' m lucky to be where 1 am now, said Steinke. The first two years of the military science course mainly covers basics. Students learn to shoot firearms, repel, and to read maps. These classes were a lot of fun, said Steinke, They allowed you to get out of the stuffy classrooms and let off some steam. The greatest misconception about a military science class is the thought that a student then owes the Army Many people think that if you go in¬ to ROTC that you then owe 40 years of your life to the Army, said Dobbs, It ' s strictly up to the students whether or not they pursue a military career after the basic two years. If the Army Reserve or National Guard is the stu¬ dent ' s choice, then he follows up with two more years of ROTC which will earn him a second lieutenant ranking. Then he picks the branch he would like to work in, and if he qualifies for that job, then the Army trains him for the position. 94 i (Top) Cadres (from left to right) MSG David Dobhs f MAJ David Roberts , CPT Mike Hellams, SFC James Whitworth (Left) MS I Vs (first row, from left to right) Gary Montgomery, Joe Huibsch Duane Hukill, Brent Beckley, Tony Moffatt, Gary McClendon (second row) Tbny Clay Cory Steinke, Dan Fowler, David Chick, John Wales, Connie Everitt (Below) Cadet Jeff Wellman performs push-ups during a physical training test while MSG David Dobbs counts and Cadet Dan Fowler times the test. 96 i (Left) Admissions counselor June Freund explains the day ' s agenda to a prosepective student before taking him on a tour of the campus.

Admissions office welcomes students F or most prospective students, their first view of Missouri Southern is through the admis¬ sions office, The real thing today is getting the students on campus said Richard Humphrey, director of admissions. We want them to compare our type of campus to others According to Humphrey, this helps to orientate students and make them aware of the available programs. Another way to recruit new students is by having counselors and honor students make trips to high schools, June Freund and Mindy Chism, ad¬ missions counselors, travel to area high schools and talk to the students about cost, financial aid, and different pro¬ grams offered at Southern. They pro¬ mote academics. Chism tries to sell students on the campus, honors program, variety of scholarships, and small enrollment. We have a 25 to 1 student ratio, said Chism. I think that ' s a plus. College costs are so high that students should review different col¬ leges before they make a choice, said Humphrey. The retention of students is the whole goal said Humphrey. The admissions office functions under the marketing and management process. We ' re just now extending our office hours to reach more students, said Humphrey. Students who send copies of their ACT scores to Southern are contacted either by phone or by mail. When a student communicates with the Col¬ lege, there is usually a reply within three mailing days because generally prospective students will choose one of the first three schools they have had contact with. The main purpose of Humphrey ' s job is to coordinate the different qualities of the admissions staff to make it function at its best. He goes to visit other colleges to see what they are doing, and he tries to use Southern ' s resources to its fullest potential. In addition to Humphrey, the admis¬ sions office employs two full-time counselors, two full-time secretaries, and three student helpers. 97i (Topi Jim Gilbert, director of financial aids , discusses new policies with a student. (Above) A student receives advice on a grant from a member of the financial aid staff Financial aid enables students to go to school A t some point in time, approx¬ imately 90 per cent of students at Missouri Southern will receive help from the financial aid office. According to Jim Gilbert, director of financial aid r almost every student receives some form of financial aid during his or her college education. This could come in the form of a scholarship, a grant, a loan, or a job. Southern gives out scholarships based on academic excellence, athletic ability and extracurricular activity ' Without the Regent ' s scholarship, I wouldn ' t be here ' said Chris Koonts, freshman. I couldn ' t afford it. Out of state students who receive the Regent ' s scholarship are allowed to apply for special funds that help pay for the extra tuition. It ' s nice because it allows for the out of state students ' said Diane Emanuel, a freshman recipient of the out of state funding for students. The two areas of jobs available on campus are the work-study program and the student help program. The work-study program is available to students who have a financial need, and the student help program is available to students who are qualified for the jobs that are available. There are very few jobs ' said Gilbert. They range from washing clothes for the athletic department to clerical work ' According to Gilbert; students should check into receiving financial aid even if they are unsure of their eligibility. They must pursue aid if they want it. Southern ' s financial aid staff consists of five professionals and secretaries and four student workers. As financial aid goes, so goes the school ' said Gilbert. The financial aid office spends much time giving financial calculations for students trying to receive financial assistance as well as offering workshops and evening film programs at area high schools. 98 i Business Office l99 Office Services Brian Estes sorts mail Ron Foster, direc¬ tor of office services , stokes paper supplies.

Basically the office of public infor¬ mation makes sure the public receives timely information about Southern Working closely with the news media, news releases are sent to newspapers and television and radio stations within a 60 -mile radius of Southern. Information about Southern students also is sent to hometown newspapers throughout the country. It keeps me busy said Mary Anderson, news bureau manager. As part of a state contract, a newspaper clipping service in Colum¬ bia, Ma, is used by the office. The ser¬ vice sends a copy of every article from every newspaper in Missouri that mentions Southern. This helps Ander¬ son keep track of what newspapers in the state use the news releases that are sent out. It is very interesting ' said Anderson. Relaying sports information to the media is also an important function of the office. This job is handled by Den¬ nis Slusher, Southern ' s sports informa¬ tion director. My main responsibility is being a liaison with the media, said Slusher. Among his many responsibilities, Slusher calls area radio and television stations to give scores and statistics on basketball and football games. New to the office this year was Mike Hailey Hailey the coordinatior of cam¬ pus publications, does the artwork and design of all publications that go through the office. Working alongside Hailey is Larry Meacham, Southern ' s photographer and writer, Meacham is the person responsible for all of the photographs and copy used in campus publications. I do anything which will help the College said Meacham. Of course, none of the work per¬ formed by any public information of¬ fice staff would get off the ground without the guidance and planning of a director, Gwen Hunt. She has taken the one small, two- person operation and slowly shaped it into what it is today an efficient public information office which serves Southern, the state of Missouri, and the nation. We have to be very professional, said Hunt, (Clockwise from top left) Mary Anderson works on a news release. Sports information director Dennis Slusher plans out his schedule.

Johnston, security director since 1983, resigned his position Jan, 31. Jess Forkner was appointed interim direc¬ tor while the College conducted a search to fill the director ' s position. According to Johnston, the depart- ment issues special parking permits to dormitory students, commuters, han¬ dicapped students, graduate students, and visitors as well as temporary park¬ ing permits, We also offer vehicle assistance to anyone on campus, such as jump starts, unlock cars, air up tires, phone assistance, and directions, said Johnston, The security staff also offers seminars on rape prevention, in¬ vestigates assaults, threats, larceny, and maintains proper control and disposal of dangerous chemicals. Johnston has 13 years of experience fighting crime in Detroit, Mich. r but he is not the only one with experience. We have both experience and education on this staff, said Johnston. We have three bachelor degrees, five full-time employees, and we also use students. One of those students is former security assistant Joe Brauburger. I feel that the security department is not being fully utilized by the students, said Brauburger. We are more than the bad guys writing the tickets. We are here to help the students Brauburger also said he wished the students would give more input. What people don ' t realize is that we are the department of security and safety, he said, Most people forget the safety part. Brauburger, who graduated in December, was replaced by Steve Mat- tis. As security assistant Mattis files tickets, does paperwork, and coor¬ dinates the students to work at ball games and concerts, I recommend working for the security staff to ail those that have a criminal justice major, said Brauburger. This job will help those people, because it gives them the ex¬ perience and the positive attitude that they will need for the jobs they will have in their life According to Johnston, the security department is service oriented, and security is present 24 hours a day, seven days a week. I feel it ' s a great asset to have a security department on campus, said resident Handy Bowman. It ' s a good feeling to know that if you have trou¬ ble you can count on the security department to be there, Bowman ' s feelings are shared by his fellow residents. Without the security department on campus things would be totally out of order, said resident Pat Nagel. I have helped work crowd control and parked cars at one of our home games. It ' s not an easy task, and the security department should be commended on the fine job they are doing.

Dennis Franchione. president of PSU ' s Student Senate, and the president of Missouri Sou them ' s Student Senate , Lance Adams, explain the concept behind a new tradition, the Miner ' s Bowi The bowl is now an annual event between the two colleges and has a traveling trophy. Senate represents student body W hile the Student Senate may only consist of 40 members, it represents the entire stu¬ dent body m many activities pertain¬ ing to Missouri Southern, I think that many times when students first come to Missouri Southern, they feel powerless, like they are at the mercy of the administra¬ tion ' said Doug Carnahan, adviser to the organization, ' Student Senate has made Substan¬ tial progress in improving life at Southern ' he said. Nine students from each class are elected to the Senate each fail. Ex¬ ecutive officers for the 19S6-87 school year were Lance Adams, president; Lori LeBahn, vice president; Jill Cole, secretary; Angela No yes, treasurer; and Randy Joiitz, parliamentarian. One of the key functions of the Stu¬ dent Senate, accoring to Carnahan, is to represent the students on Faculty Senate committees, The Student Senate acts as a liaison between the students and the ad- minstration he said, while pointing out that this representation goes all the way to the top, % The president [Lance Adams) represents students at the Board of Regents meetings, said Carnahan. An example of this representation, according to Carnahan, could be seen in the Student Senate ' s protest when the Faculty Senate voted to raise the requirements for graduation with honors. We were actively involved in changing the original policy, he said. In addition to representation, the Senate distributes funds to needy cam¬ pus .organizations. - This year we allocated over $15,000 to student organizations at their re¬ quest Carnahan said. Other functions of the Senate this year included a detailed study on smoking on campus, a trip to Jefferson City to visit with area legislators and promote Missouri Southern, and a ma¬ jor push last fall to increase voting awareness. We made a major effort this year to get students registered to vote ’ said Carnahan. The executive officers also attended a national leadership convention at Texas A M University. Another thing the Student Senate did this year was actively participate in the Phon-A-Thon, said Carnahan, A lot of those students worked very hard on that,- The students involved with the Senate enjoyed the year. 1 enjoy being a senator because it ' s giving me experience for the future ’ said sophomore senator Maggie Bur¬ dick. It helps me understand how the government works; I f m going to run for an executive office next year An other senator who enjoyed his position was freshman Chad farider. I really had fun being in Student Senate and meeting the people he said. Freshman Jeff Morrissey is also glad he got involved. It has really been an experience ' he said. I ' ll never forget it—-that ' s for sure ’ None of this comes as a surprise to Carnahan, though. i feel like Student Senate is one of the most active campus organizations ' he said. I think that Missouri Southern is ahead of many schools in that it has student representation and there are many changes that have oc¬ curred on campus as a result of the Student Senate—academic as well as campus improvements.

Accor¬ ding to Anthony Wilson, president of the CAB, its goal is to get more students involved and to give the students great opportunities to have fum ; , The CAB also sponsors concerts and cultural events, ' All of our funds are provided by the activity fee included in the students ' tuition; said Angela Noyes, treasurer of CAB, Eighty per cent of the fees come to us to help us support our planned events These planned events include per¬ formers in the Lions ' Den, birthday parties, dances, and concerts, CAB has been responsible for brining per¬ formers such as Starship ; the Outfield, and Sheena Easton to Southern ' s cam¬ pus; and is in charge of many Wilson believes there are many ad¬ vantages to being a member of CAB, It will broaden one ' s horizons, he said. All a student has to do to become a member of CAB is apply at the begin¬ ning of the semester. CAB meetings are held often during each month, and activities are suggested and discussed. Having the CAB at Southern gives students a chance to become involved in social events which adds exeitmeot to college life. The members work ex¬ tremely hard to have events planned and ready for the upcoming semester, and it is sometimes difficult to think of something most students would be interested in—something new and exciting. Even though this is hard work, Wilson said it is fun and worthwhile. He also encourages students to par¬ ticipate in as many activities provided as they can. Activity is part of college life and makes college more fun. {Left} Janet McLaughlin performs in the Lions ' Den. (Below! Gene Cot¬ ton returns for another s ow at Said hern.

These persons meet twice a month to discuss College policy and curriculum. Ackiss describes the Senate ' s primary function as offering advice. We end up giving suggestions to the Board of Regents said Ackiss Very little the Faculty Senate does is bin¬ ding; the Regents actually run the Col¬ lege One issue the Faculty Senate offered its advice on this year was Southern ' s honors policy. The Board of Regents voted to raise honors standards, but not by as great a margin as suggested by the Faculty Senate. This was a typical case, said Ackiss. When the administration needs advice, they come to us. The Faculty Senate is more complex than one might think. It is divided in¬ to four groups—officers, administra¬ tors, members, and members-at-large. The way we divide is unique to the Faculty Senate said Ackiss. Members-at-large are members not representing a particular area of the College, and members come from various departments ' The Faculty Senate has a set of minutes prepared after each meeting. This task is performed by David Reiman. Besides being the Faculty Senate secretary, Reiman is also a reference librarian at Southern I usually put in five to 10 hours above what I do at the library, said Reiman Like all of the officers, my work is voluntary. A copy of the minutes for each meeting of the Senate is sent to all faculty members. Copies are also sent to the Board of Regents and to other area colleges. The Faculty Senate meets on the first and third Mondays of every other month in the Billing sly Student Center. 112i (Clockwise from top) Dr. Larry Martin, head of mathematics makes a point during a Faculty Senate meeting.

Putnam feels experience rewarding A lthough a native of the Joplin area, this year ' s president of the Board of Regents has not always been involved with Missouri Southern Born in Carthage, Bill Putnam, Jr. at¬ tended college in Beloit, Wls., where he received his bachelor ' s degree in economics. Later he attended the University of Missouri for a year to study business. I was one of the people who was just kind of aware of Missouri Southern, but had no involvement with it 1 he said. When I first got to thinking about the College was about this time six years ago. It was then, in the fall of 1981, that State Sen. Richard Webster and Con¬ gressman Gene Taylor contacted him with the idea of serving on the Board of Regents After being selected for the position by the Governor, Putnam was pleasantly surprised by what he learned about Southern. The last six years have been tremendously rewarding to me per¬ sonally he said. According to Putnam, Southern has made great strides during the past decade. He is glad to have played a role in that growth I really believe we have one of the finest undergraduate colleges in the country, not just the area, he said Although he believes acceptance of the College has improved across the state, he believes this is especially true In Jefferson City. According to Putnam, legislators now have greater apprecia¬ tion and respect for Southern. Putnam is proud of the construction that is underway to facilitate the Col¬ lege ' s growing enrollment as well as the fact there is now a strong unity be¬ tween the administration and the faculty, where one has not always been present. That ' s a significant accomplish¬ ment, also, said Putnam. Beginning his term as president of the Regents last fall, Putnam sees lit¬ tle difference between his duty as a Board member and his role as president. J T guess the only thing that is unique about being president is that he serves as the spokesperson of the Board he said. Just because I ' m the president doesn ' t make me any more special than anyone else Putnam also has great expectations for the assessment program, initiated by the College to evaluate the quality of education it provides its students. That ' s something that is very much in the national news, he said, There is only one other school in the state of Missouri that has such a program. Aside from this Putnam also did some behind the scenes work in preparation for the North Central Association accreditation visit in the fall of 1987 While all this would seem to keep Putnam busy enough, he has his per¬ sonal affairs to attend to as well. Out¬ side his work with Southern, Putnam runs his own busines and still finds time to be involved with other ac¬ tivities. These include the Mo-Kan Area Boy Scout Council, the IVi-State Swim Conference, and involvement with his church and family. I try to keep a pretty good balance between the office and my personal life he said. 114 f (Clockwise from top right} Former Regents President Anthony Kassab studies a diagram for the construction of new dormitories .

Representative Mark Elliot makes a call Board of Regents President Bill Putnam , Jr talks with the local media. Phon-A-Thon exceeds goal F ollowing 12 days of calling, more than $ 120,000 was reached at the close of this year ' s Phon-A-Thon. With only one day of calling remain¬ ing, under $90,000 had been raised. Three large gifts were made the last day, pushing the total well over the $110,000 goal. According to Sue Blll- ingsly, director of the Missouri Southern Foundation, one of the gifts was for $25,000 and the remaining two were for $1,000 each. All three gifts were from anonymous sources. Billingsly said there are often sur¬ prises such as these which enable the Phon-A-Thon to reach its goal. However, she attributed much of this year ' s success to community involve¬ ment, the addition of new alumni names, and volunteer help. ' There were so many College ac¬ tivities going on that week that we felt fortunate to have the volunteers we did, ' she said. A total of 2,508 pledges were made during the Phon-A-Thon. More than 1,000 of these were new pledges from persons who had not donated previously. Some 160 callers and 71 assistants aided in the effort. There ' s no way you can do something like this without volunteers, said Kreta Gladden, direc¬ tor of the Alumni Association. Among those volunteering was a group of students who came to Missouri Southern in the fall from Puerto Rico. The students spent a Sun¬ day afternoon making calls to their homeland with names provided to them by their mothers. I would say they made a sizable contribution, said Billingsly. Other student groups who helped call included the baseball and football teams, the band, the Zeta Tau Alpha sorority, The Chart staff, and Chad Siebbins ' oral communication classes. 116 t . jClockwise from top right) Mr ; and Mrs. Clark Reid discuss the scholarships they donate to the nursing department through the Phon A - Thon.

I I il33 134i A change of seasons %■ f 135 136 i Athletics 3 No one knows the whereabouts of Jo Juco, the stuffed lion club who was the mascot ofJoplin Junior College. Junior college mascot is still missing By Shaun LePage ' Chart’ Sports Editor (1985-86) D uring Homecoming week of 1985, I began looking for somethings.or should 1 say, someone. 1 was thumbing through some ancient copies of The Chart when I spotted the eyes of a lion cub. Something about those eyes sparked my interest, and I proceeded to read the related story of jo Juco. According to the article, Jo Juco, a stuffed lion cub, was donated to Joplin Junior College by the Downtown Lions Club of Joplin “a number of years” before the article was written in December 1952. Joplin Junior College had adopted the Lion as its mascot sometime late in 1937 or in early 1938. Gwen Hunt, director of public information at Missouri Southern, let me dig through the first yearbooks that start in 1937. The first time the Joplin Junior College football team is referred to as The Lions 1 ' was in the fall of 1938. For some unforgotten reason Jo Juco was neglected and eventually ended up in the dark upper regions ' ' of Joplin Junior College, Lloyd Mink, The Chart ' s 1951-52 sports writer, found the stuffed lion cub and began a crusade to have Jo Juco displayed in a more suitable place Mink ' s efforts were not in vain, as Jo Juco was moved to the main building, where he received much more attention At that time, Jo Juco was nameless, so The Chart staff held a contest whereby students and instructors were asked to submit names on ballots, which were printed in the paper. The staff narrowed the field down to three names: Dan ' l Sam, and Jo Juco. A vote was taken at a penny a vote, and Jo Juco proved to be the most popular name. From that time on, corny little clips were put on the sports page of The Chart such as, Jo Juco says, ' See you at homecoming ' , or Jo juco says, ' Beat Fayetteville ' More importantly, jo juco served as a symbol of pride and inspiration for Joplin junior College students. Jo Juco had reached a plateau that few stuffed animals ever reach. Today, mystery surrounds the story of Jo Juco, making him something of a legend. When Joplin Junior College became Missouri Southern College and moved to its present location in 1967, Jo Juco made the trip, too, according to my sources. From that point on, the mystery begins. Jo Juco is missing, and no one seems to have the foggiest idea where he is I have talked to several members of the faculty who remembered Jo Juco from days gone by, but they have no idea where he is today I received several suggestions as to where he might he, but each was a dead end. Not only are his whereabouts a mystery but the way he slipped out of the hearts and minds and sight of students and faculty is even more of a mystery. I told this story in the Homecoming issue of The Chart in 1985 because I had not been able to find Jo Juco. His whereabouts have become a mild obsession for me, and I fear the he is once again sitting alone somewhere in a dark corner collecting dust, I had hoped that someone who knew where Jo Juco is would read the article, and let me know where he could be found, but as this revised appeal goes into print, this has not yet happened. I completed my requirements for graduation in December 1986, and am still hoping that Jo Juco will be found before 1 walk across the stage for my diploma in May As Southern celebrates its 50th anniversary next year, I feel as though it would be more than appropriate for Jo Juco to be a part of the celebration From the past (Top) George Major was an outstanding goalie for the Missouri Southern soccer program.

Football Lions finish with a roar A lthough 1986 was not exactly the year of the Lion, the Mis¬ souri Southern football squad finished with a roar. The Lions lost their first seven games before closing out their season with a pair of wins. Under the direction of Rod Gies- selmann, who took over as head coach when Jim Frazier stepped down at the end of the 1985 season, the Lions dropped their first game of the season on Sept. 13 in Hughes Stadium to Southwestern Oklahoma State, 17-14. With the score tied at 14-all with 15 seconds remaining, Southwestern ' s Kevin JStrahorn booted a 24-yard field goal to give the Bulldogs the victory. J ' It was a frustrating experience,” said Giesselmann. Everyone was ready to play and a loss in the last 15 seconds from our mistakes was nothing less than frustrating” The Lions then traveled to Russellville, Ark., to take on Arkansas Tech the following weekend. The result of that contest, a 42-7 Tech vic¬ tory added to the frustration of the Southern squad. Southern ' s effort against Washburn University in a televised home game the following week produced similar results. The Ichabods thumped the Lions, 25-7. Southern then took on the Pittsburg State Gorillas in a rivalry that for the first time was called the Miner ' s Bowl. The newly established tradition was the result of an effort by both schools to build school spirit. A Miner ' s Bowl trophy is to be presented by the stu¬ dent body president of the losing school to the student body president of the winning school every year. I think it is something we can look forward to each year,” said Lori Mays, president of the PSU student senate, who took the trophy back to her school when the Gorillas dealt the Lions their fourth straight loss, 48-7. It is something the fans from MSSC will be wanting next year, and Pittsburg fans will want to keep it” As the rains fell in Emporia, Kan., on Oct. 11, the Hornets dealt the Lions their fifth straight loss. For the first time since 1979, the Lions were shut out as the Hornets managed 11 points despite the mud. It was truly a mess ' said Giesselmann. Field position was critical. It was the first time this year that we lost the toss, and it was the first time it was critical, because we wanted the wind” The Lions suffered their sixth straight loss as the Kearney State Antelopes managed a single touch¬ down and held the Lions to a field goal in the Homecoming contest. With just 41 seconds remaining in the game, Kearney ' s Rich Chochon bulled through the Southern defense for a 1-yard touchdown, crushing Southern ' s hopes of ending its losing streak. David Thaman kicked his first field goal of the 1986 season in the third quarter, giving the Lions a 3-0 lead. Those three points gave the Lions their first lead of the season, in St. Joseph, Mo., on Oct. 25, Southern established the type of record that teams would rather forget. The Lions ' 13-7 loss to the Missouri Western Griffons was their seventh straight. No other team in Southern football history has lost as many games in a single season. Also, tacking on the final game of the 1985 season (a 27-17 loss to Wayne State), the Lions established the longest losing streak over a two-season span as well. However, the next weekend the Southern defense shined as freezing rain fell on Hays, Kan., and the Lions started a different streak. The Lions did not allow the Fort Hays State Tigers to score, and David Thaman kicked a 35-yard field goal in third quarter to end the Lions ' seven-game skid. Danny Massey picked off two Fort Hays ' passes in the second half, and Mike Wilson picked off one in the first half as the Southern defenders held Fort Hays quarterback Jeff Miller to just 108 yards on the day Miller had been averaging 290 per game prior to the Southern contest. Don Stone led the Lions with seven tackles and Troy Moeller had six. Lloyd Vaughn had five tackles, broke up two passes, and recovered a fumble. Southern ' s Greg Dageforde carried the ball 23 times in the first half, and another 20 times in the second half as he rushed for 148 yards. The 43 car¬ ries was a Southern record, surpassing the mark of 34 set by Ron Harris in 197 9. However, before the ink was dry in the record books, Dageforde shattered his newly established record. In the final game of the season, in front of a home crowd, Dageforde car¬ ried the ball 49 times as the Lions trounced Wayne 41-6. Dageforde also established the single-season mark for carries with 249; erasing the old record of 207 set by Robert Davis in 1975. Perhaps the most impressive record wiped out by Dageforde in the Wayne State contest was for net yards gained. In 1977 Larry Barnes ran for 244 yards in a single game, and that mark was equalled by Harold Noirfalise in 1983. Dageforde shattered that record by gaining 299 yards. He finished just 13 yards short of 1,000 yards for his career total. Dageforde tied the record for touchdowns and points scored in a single game. He shares those two plateaus with Barnes (1977), Noirfalise (1982], and 1986 senior Mark Perry (1985), whose career was halted by a knee injury early in the 1986 season. Wayne finished the game with negative 16 yards rushing, which is a Southern defensive record. In 1984 the Lions held Wayne to negative six yards rushing. Southern finished with a 2-7 mark overall and a 2-5 record in the Central States Intercollegiate Conference. On a more positive note, the Lions fin¬ ished their season for the first time in four years with a win.

I After taking four more matches in 12 days, the Lady Lions travelled to Topeka, Kan., on the first weekend in October to play the first half of the Central States Intercollegiate Con¬ ference season. After running off five straight victories to up its record to 284, the team suffered back-to-back Josses to Kearney State (1543, 74$, 645) and Missouri Western (1745, 6-15 r 1245) and ended the first half of CSIC play at 5-2. The next major test to face the Lady Lions was the Missouri Western invita¬ tional which they entered with a 31-3 record. Against fierce competition, the Lady Lions won four of six matches to finish in a tie for third place. The women followed up the strong showing with a five-game homestand in which they won every match to im¬ prove their record to 40-5 ( an ,SS9 win¬ ning percentage. The Lady Lions then hosted the se¬ cond half of conference play, and started strongly by winning their first three matches. Playing its fourth match in one day however, the team fell to Wayne State 9 15, 15-6, 945. After rebounding the next morning for a victory, the women lost two matche s in a row for only the second time this season, again to Kearney State (14-15, 845) and Missouri Western [9-15, 15-6, 10-15). The losses dropped Southern into a tie for second place in the CSIC r with a 9-5 record, Pittsburg State found itself beaten by the Lady Lions for the seventh time in as many tries in Southern ' s final regular season home game of the season. The Lady Lions then took their 45-8 record into the NAIA District 16 Tournament, In round robin competition, the Lady Lions won two of three matches, only falling to eventual champion Missouri Western 15 8, 345, 64 5. Qualifying for the next day ' s semifinals, the Lady Lions ' season end¬ ed it the hands of Southwest Baptist, 13-15, 1245, While coach Pat Lipira and her team may have been disappointed that they did not go further, they can take some comfort in their school-record 47 wins arid the fact that every player has at least one year of eligibility remaining. Team leaders for the season includ¬ ed Kyla Tompkins, who had 558 kills; Beth Greer, who had 1,379 assists and 694 succesfuil serves; Karen Doak f who had a .978 serving percentage; and Shelly Hodges, who led the team with 207 digs. mm [Clockwise from top right!

The campaign began on a negative note as the squad ' s two top returning seniors sustained serious leg injuries. Eddie Horn and Steve TYiplett were to be out for the season, and it became evident that Bodon would have to count on strong seasons from a number of his young freshmen recruits in order to be successful in 1986. The Lions had to wait until the fifth game of the season for their first win, a 3-1 victory over host Northeastern Oklahoma. Southern followed with a 2-1 upset of nationally-ranked and previously-unbeaten Avila College It was the first time the soccer Lions had ever topped the Avalanche. A number of Lions were standouts in the East Texas Shoot-Out. Southern finished in second place after losing to a talented Centenary (La.) team in the championship game. Bodon ' s crew surprised everyone in October when it ran off a school- record nine wins in a row. The Lions earned a spot in the district playoffs and defeated visiting Harris-Stowe in the first round 3-0. The Lions fell to powerhouse Rockhurst for the second time in 1986 in the district semifinals and ended their season with an im¬ pressive 12-74 record. Several new faces established themselves as strong forces in the Lions ' soccer program. Freshman for¬ ward Shaun Owens came into his own at mid-season and became Southern ' s most potent scorer. Owens led the team in goals (9), points (21), and game-winning goals (5) He also shared most valuable offensive player honors with junior forward Jeff Tow. Tow totaled six goals and one assist in 1986. Troy Letourneau started every game of the season for the Lions. Moving between midfield and backfield posi¬ tions, the freshman newcomer was a key member of the Southern defense that recorded seven shutouts during the 20-game season. For his efforts, Letourneau was named rookie of the year. Senior Doug Mitchell finished another strong season in the Southern backfield. Mitchell was selected to the all-district second team. He shared defensive MVP honors with junior goalkeeper Duane McCormick. Conti¬ nuing his reign in the Lions ' goal, McCormick recorded six shutouts and a 1.22 goal-against average He was an honorable mention AU-American and was named first team all-district. Senior Mike Stiltner also earned an honorable mention to the All- American team in his senior year He was selected to the all-district second team. Other team awards included 110 percent ' 1 awards to Stiltner, Vince Beckett, Keith Borucki, Mark Hin- shaw r Matt Pritchett, and Lenny Stem- mons and sportsmanship awards to Ed Miller and Shawn Hull. The squad ' s most improved player was sophomore Rich Fritz With this year ' s good showing and the return of many young standout players, Bodon and the soccer Lions are optimistic about even better things to come in 1987. $149 (Clockwise from top rightJEd Miller (No. 5} moves in behind soccer team alumni for a steal Scott Watson (No. 2) works the ball past an alumni Coach Hal Bodon talks to the team during a time-out as Jeff Tfrw looks on .—Photos by JoAnn Hollis and Mike Hines 150 i (Clockwise from top left) Coach Hal Bodon observes the game.

Lady Lions experience ups, downs F or the Missouri Southern Lady Lions r the 1986-87 basketball sea¬ son was one of ups and downs. The roliercoster-type year began with six consecutive victories, in¬ cluding a first place finish in the McKendree (111.) College Tournament. Southern broke into the national rankings after it knocked off powerhouse University of Missouri- Kansas City 71-70 to win the annual Lady Lions Classic. The win was the first ever over the District 16 foe Lady K-roos Following the UMKC victory r the Lady Lions (9-1 at the time) began the Central States Intercollegiate Con¬ ference season. In a pre-season coaches ' poll, Southern was picked to finish first in the league. The Lady Lions, however, got off to a slow start when they traveled to Missouri Western to begin the loop schedule The inspired Lady Griffons rode their homecourt advantage to a 68-55 win. Southern managed a strong comeback in its next game, defeating host Wayne State 82-77. The con¬ ference ' s first weekend of play was to set the stage for the remainder of the league season. The Lady Lions finished the CSIC season in sixth place with a 6-8 mark, and prepared for post-season play in the District 16 tournament. Young Gymnasium was a familiar site for the Lady Lions in their first round playoff game as Southern hosted Culver-Stockton for the right to con¬ tinue on the road to the District 16 ti¬ tle and a berth in the national tournament. Though the underdog, Culver- Stockton was not to be defeated They downed the Lady Lions 97-79. The set¬ back gave Southern a 15-10 record and brought an end to the season. Several Lady Lions enjoyed fine seasons during the year as Southern placed three players on the all¬ conference team. Junior center Anita Rank led the team in scoring in 21 of its 25 games. She broke nine school records during the season, including two career marks that she will add to next season. Her 22.4 scoring average and 9,4 rebound mark earned Rank the CSIC player of the year award at the close of the con¬ ference season Seniors Gayle Klenke and Amy Oberdieck earned honoable mentions to the all-conference Team. Klenke led the team in assists with an average of 5 3 per contest. She was second on the squad in both scoring (11.9) and re bounding (6 3), Oberdieck was a key on defense for the Lady Lions, block¬ ing almost one and half shots per game. She also contributed on the of¬ fensive end, averaging 10.1 points per game LaDonna Wilson also enjoyed an outstanding senior season. Wilson pro¬ vided the leadership and clutch shots as she came up with the winning basket in five close Lady Lion victories. Several newcomers saw extended ac¬ tion during the season. Freshman Joyce Falls earned a starting position in pre-season workouts and was scor¬ ing 14 points a game before a knee in¬ jury ended her season in early December. Jennifer Burken and Barbie Richards alternated in and out of the starting point guard position. Both were impressive in leading the team on the floor during their freshmen seasons. Good showings, some big wins dur¬ ing the season, and an impressive nucleus of returning players leave the Lady Lions optimistic about things to come next year. 1153 (Clockwise from top right) Head coach Jim Phillips argues a call made by the referee.

The 6-foot blonde crowd favorite poured in an average of 22.4 points per outing during the 25-game season, set¬ ting an unbelievable nine school records along the way. In addition to leading the Lady Lions in scoring, Rank was team-high in re¬ bounding (9.4 avg.), field goal percen¬ tage (-578), and free throw percentage (.827). She broke single-game marks for most points in a game with a 40-point effort at Kearney State on Feb. 7 and most free throws made and at¬ tempted with a 17 for 21 night from the line against Pittsburg State on Feb. 18 . Canning 15 of 15 charities in the championship round of the Lady Lions Classic against University of Missouri- Kansas City earned her two more school records—highest percentage and most consectutive free throws made in a game, as well as the most valuable player award for the tournament Her free throw percentage and 139 made free throws were single season Lady Lions records. Rank will add to the two career marks that she established this season during her senior year in 1987-88.

The Lions finished with a 20-13 overall record, making it the fifth time they have achieved the 20-victory plateau in Chuck Williams ' tenure as head coach. Completing his 10th season at Southern, Williams has a record of 173-136, Highlighting the regular season was an 81-75 victory over Oklahoma State. University on Jan. 7, It was the first time ever for the Lions to defeat an NCAA Division I opponent. Grabbing a 40-30 lead at halftime, Southern held off an OSU rally in the closing minutes. Leading the Lions in scoring that game were seniors Chris Tuggle (22 points), Marvin Townsend [20 points), Willie Laster (13 points), and Reggie Grantham (12 points).

The Cardinals rallied from a 15-point deficit with six minutes to play to force an overtime session. The Lions were not to be denied, however, and pre¬ vailed 100-96, Higgle, who scored 38 points, canned 20 of 26 free throws to set a school record. Grantham added 25 points. Higgle established a single-season scoring record with 693 points (21,0 average]. The previous mark of 687 points was set by Greg Gar ton during the 1984-85 season. Higgle, a G-foot-3 forward who made slam dunks his trademark, ends his two-year career at Southern with 1,072 points [sixth on the all-time career scoring list). Townsend, who scored 666 points (20 2 average] finishes his two-year career with 1,167 points (fifth all-time).

The cat- quiek guard scored 853 points (10th all-time) in his two-year Lion career. Forward Dwight McGlothin, a dominating force on the boards, was second on the team in rebounding (216) and fourth in scoring with 380 points (11.5 average). The 6-foot-5 junior, a transfer from Trenton (Mo.) Junior College, led the Lions in three- point accuracy.

' Winner at Weiser ' gives Lions District 16 crown W hile the play was designed for a shot by guards Reggie Grantham or Willie Laster, Missouri Southern forward Chris Hig¬ gle saw that both were covered in the final seconds of the game, It was designed for Willie or Reg¬ gie, Higgle said. They were supposed to cut through to the three-point zone. They were covered, and I drove through the middle, pulled up r and hit the shot ' 1 The Shot is responsible for the Lions making their first appearance in the NAIA national tournament since 1978. Just as importantly, The Shot, or the Winner at Weiser (Gym¬ nasium) gave the Lions an 85-84 vic¬ tory over Drury College, their third triumph over the Panthers this season. It was either for me or Willie or Chris to make the shot, said Gran¬ tham. I was just thinking: r Make it. Please make it ' Higgles 23-foot jumper from beyond the top of the key climaxed a see-saw battle. Ted Young ' s three-pointer gave Drury a 77-74 lead with 2:05 left, but Grantham retaliated with two three- point goals, the second one giving Southern an 80-77 edge with 55 seconds remaining. I was glad I was the one to do it said Grantham. Those were two real¬ ly big shots for me. Young ' s lay-up with 22 seconds left made it 80-79, Southern ' s Jeff Starkweather canned two free throws with 11 seconds to play, giving the Lions an 82-79 lead. Starkweather fouled the Panthers ' Rod Gorman two seconds later, and the Drury senior sank both free throws for a one-point deficit. Marvin Townsend ' s errant pass was intercepted by the Panthers and con¬ verted into three EDrurv points at 0:06 when Mike Blakeslee hit a jumper. Townsend fouled Blakeslee on the play, who drilled the free throw for an 84-82 Drury lead. It (Drury ' s lead) made us play harder, said Higgle. We still had a chance to win the game. We just tried to go down and capitalize on what we had to do to take the lead back. We just didn ' t give up After a timeout, Townsend threw the ball to Higgle near halfcourt. Seeing that Grantham and Laster were covered, Thggie drove to his left near the top of the key and launched the game-winning shot, I thought it was a heck of a basket¬ ball game between two good teams, said Marvin Walker, Drury head coach. We made some big baskets, and Southern made some big ones. It ' s a tough loss to take, he said. There is a great rivalry between Missouri Southern and Drury. Southern ' s victory spoiled Drury ' s attempt at a third consecutive trip to the national tournament. We had won the last two district championships and were within six seconds of doing something no other district team had done in 30 years, Walker said. Townsend led the Lions, 20-12, with 28 points and 10 rebounds. Dwight McGlothin had 17 points and eight re¬ bounds, while Grantham and Tuggle had 16 and 15 points, respectively. Drury, which ended its season at 24-7, received 25 points and 12 re¬ bounds from Blakeslee and 22 from Tony King. The game was witnessed by 2,250 fans. Chuck Williams, Southern head coach, said there was more to the Lions ' victory than Tuggle ' s final shot, They wanted to get to the national tournament so bad, said Williams.

The same three-point shot that Chris Higgle made a week earlier to send Missouri Southern to Kansas City glanced off the rim as the final buzzer sounded and ended the Lions ' stay in the championship tourney. The miss gave the University of Hawaii-Hiio an 82-79 win, sending the Vulcans into the next round. The game followed the opening ceremonies of the 50th annual Na¬ tional Association of Intercollegiate Athletics basketball tournament. The NAIA celebrated its golden anniver¬ sary with a parade of champions followed by marching bands and dancers to entertain the crowd of 5,930, ' The excitement of being in the tourney really used up a lot of energy said Southern Head Coach Chuck Williams, I think it caused some fatigue in both teams, but it affected us down the stretch the most. Some shots did not fall that we should have made. Things looked bright for Southern early as the Lions overcame a sluggish start and took command of the tempo midway through the first half. Follow¬ ing a timeout, Southern went on a 13-0 tear to go from an eight-point deficit to a 22-17 lead with 12;10 left before intermission. Marvin Townsend scored 13 of his game high 23 points in the first half and kept the Lions out in front at halftime 46-40. Townsend, who was manhandled all night by the Vulcan frontline, went to the charity stripe 14 times in the game, We got the ball inside but they were hammering pretty hard ' said Williams. The officials were letting them play. We expected that, it being a national tournament. Hilo Head Coach Bob Wilson was pleased with the job his team did on Townsend. J Townsend is a great player, and we knew that, said Wilson, We tried to wear him out. We did foul him a few times, but we had to keep him from taking us out of the game Senior guard Reggie Grantham add¬ ed 15 points for Southern despite sit¬ ting out much of the first half with three fouls, I may have been too anxious with all the excitement, said Grantham, I reached in too much early and got call¬ ed for it Southern had a magnet-like attrac¬ tion to the ball in the first half as it dominated both boards, outreboun- ding Hilo 22-14. The Lions also man¬ aged to grab the majority of the loose balls in the first 20 minutes, scoring at will off errant plays. Something, however, errupted in the Vulcan dressing room at halftime and the NAIA ' s 15th-ranked team came out smoking in the second half, A swarm¬ ing press caught the Lions off guard early in the final period, forcing a number of Southern turnovers. Hilo, now 24-9, converted good defense into points for the offense as the Vulcans shot 53.6 per cent from the field compared to Southern ' s 39.2, The Vulcans took their largest lead of the second half, 64-58, with 12:39 to play The Lions tied the score at 64 two minutes later on a backdoor lay-up by Willie Laster from Jeff Starkweather. The lead changed hands five times in the final minutes of the game. A free throw by Vincent Ray put Hilo ahead to stay 80-79, with 1:12 re¬ maining on the clock. Following a missed three-point attempt, Townsend was stripped of the rebound and the Lions were forced to foul Jim DeGroot, who canned two free-throws with five seconds remaining for the final score, I thought Townsend was possibly fouled on that last rebound, said Williams, The official called it a clean strip. That call could have really chang¬ ed the complexion of the game. I thought I was fouled, said Town- send. The ref was right there. I couldn ' t believe he didn ' t call it. Southern ended the season with a 20-13 overall record. We have the accomplishment of be¬ ing here in Kansas City and of winning the District 16, said Grantham. We are going to walk out of here with our heads up Our young men have nothing to be ashamed of, said Williams. They played hard all the way We ' re a good team. We lost to a good team.

Crossroads is the third edition I have advised since the communications department took over the yearbook publication in 1984, 1 must admit that I have done less work this year than the previous two. JoAnn Hollis, editor, has excelled in all areas of putting a yearbook together and has needed very little supervision. She has assigned photographs, taken photos herself, developed and printed film, designed pages, and written headlines and photo captions. She has been the yearbook staff at times, filling in when other staff members were absent. Add the fact that JoAnn ' s only previous yearbook experience was a short stint in high school, and her performance is even more that remarkable. Enough cannot be said or written about JoAnn Hollis. She spent a great deal of time working with the Crossroads , but even more with The Chart . As managing editor for 1986-87, she might have been the newspaper ' s most valuable staff member. If some people believe that this edition of the Crossroads is not as good as it could have been, it J s because The Chart has taken up too much of JoAnn ' s time. To say that JoAnn went beyond the call of duty in serving the communications department and Missouri Southern would be an understatement. One person cannot produce a yearbook entirely by herself, however, and Teresa Merrill and Melanie Hicks provided valuable assistance. Years from now, when I think back to the 1986-87 Crossroads staff, only three people will probably come to mind. We had other staff members, of course, but JoAnn, Teresa, and Melanie were the ones who really distinguished themselves. Providing they still are gluttons for punishment (just kidding), Teresa and Melanie will serve as Crossroads co-editors for 1987-88. Next year ' s yearbook will be a difficult one to produce as it will include a large section on Missouri Southern ' s 50th anniversary. 1 must also make mention of a few other people who need to be recognized for their contributions to this yearbook. Allen Stinebrook again took the majority of the color photographs. Allen, a criminal justice major, did outstanding work despite a busy schedule. JoAnn ' s parents, Doug and Kay, even came to the office a few days before deadline and helped with the indexing. Mr. Hollis also fixed the darkroom enlarger when the College was closed between semesters and the maintenance staff was not on duty. Our sales representative, Larry Starnes of Inter collegiate Press, was extremely helpful when we called on him. He ' s a very personable young man, and I hope he stays in the yearbook business. We must also thank Richard Massa, head of the communications department, and Connie Foglesong, department secretary for their support throughout the year. If there are any errors in this yearbook, please forgive us. Remember that it was produced entirely by students, and students do make mistakes. The staff did strive for perfection, so give it an A for effort. A s I write this last piece of copy and draw the final layout for the 1986-87 Crossroads my emo¬ tions are mixed. I feel relief that the bulk of the work is done, but 1 also feel grief in that something which has con¬ sumed so much of my time and energy will suddenly be gone with the com¬ pletion of this page. Although I am very anxious to see the completed product, the emotion that has the strongest grip on me is gratitude. Without the help, support, and understanding that I received from my family and friends this would have been an even more harrowing ex¬ perience than it was, I have learned a great deal through this book, about the work and about my true friends. I don ' t regret any of the long hours that were put into this. Enjoy this, the 49er i s f Going for the Gold!, for what it is—for we are all go¬ ing for the gold in one aspect or another.
