Starting as the St. joseph junior College in 1915 and becom- ing Missouri Western College 50 years later, Missouri Western State College has provided the opportunity of making dreams into reality. As the St. joseph junior College was formed, an idea was planted in the minds of students in St. joseph. A college edu- cation was now a possibility for any resident of the area. Miss Nelle Blum, Dean of the junior College for many years, had a larger dream for St. joseph and the junior College. But for many years that dream, becoming a four year institution, could not be achieved. The college has weathered many national challenges and disasters. The great depression hurt many people. But the ju- nior College kept its doors open. And in 1933 moved to a new location at 10th and Edmond. World War ll was also a hardship for the college as 61 for- mer junior College students lost their lives in the fighting. Demand for a four year college goes back to the year 1947. With record enrollments at the junior College, it was evident there was a need for further educational opportuni- ties in St. joseph. In 1954, junior College became the first public school in the nation to desegregate. Two weeks after the Brown vs. Tope- ka decision the junior College opened its doors for the sum- mer session to all people. The turbulent 1960's also had an effect in St. joseph and the junior College with protests of gym uniforms, hair lengths and Vietnam that echoed the halls. But the junior College 2!Opening 4 Craig Drath continued to grow along with the dreams. Missouri Western junior College District was established in 1965 by a vote of the people. By the end of that year land had been purchased for a new location for the junior Col- lege. With the appointment in 1967 of Dr. Marvin O. Looney as president, the dream grew closer to reality. Ground breaking for the college took place and construction started. Two years later, the dream became reality with the open- ing of the campus and accreditation as a four-year college. The dreams continued in the following years. So the past leads us to the present. Actions and reactions through the years have brought us to the threshold of the future. Dreams have become reality, but reality needs new dreams for it to continue. The education may end, but the dream carries on. - DARRELL RILEY An aerial view shows the campus lrightj after the college first opened. The Fine Art and P.E. building are still under construction. Ground had not been broken for the college center, and the idea of the Student Services classroom building was years away, The junior College today labovej scarred by broken windows, now stands empty and desolate.

Behind her were the struggles of college and state officials and St. lo- seph citizens to build a four year col- lege. The future held the challenges of strengthening the college's academic program and quality education. City residents saw the birth of a 744- acre campus and the death of a junior college. Gone were the 1960's when MWSC was more of a dream than a reality. Ahead was the beginning of a new decade. MWSC has progressed in many di- rections: nine major buildings, a phys- ical plant, increased enrollment and quality education. The completion of the Spratt Memo- rial Stadium became a reality as the complex, which was long waited for, hosted the Griffon's football games. Commencement exercises were held in the stadium as was the Up With Peo- ple concert held in September. The new addition to the Health, Physical Education and Recreation building is neared completion. It will house additional classrooms, recreational and instructional labs as well as a second gym. But MWSC has seen several signifi- cant changes since its beginning in 1969. The enrollment has more than tripled. Last fall MWSC had an all-time enrollment high of 3,700 students. En- rollment for the spring semester was 3,500. MWSC was one of three schools in the state of Missouri to in- crease in student credit hour produc- tion. The strive for educational quality has also become a reality. Forty percent of the college faculty have completed their doctorates. This kind of dedica- tion has helped MWSC develop the competitiveness it needs with other schools. ln the fall of 1979, students were given the option of obtaining a bache- lor of arts degree in English with an emphasis in communications. The fac- ulty had felt a need for this kind of em- phasis for those interested in journalism and public relations. A baccalaureate program in music was offered to those students who were interested in music but not in teaching it. This included professional and concert performances on a college level. But perhaps the best measurement for progress is through the success of the alumni. Of those registered with the placement center, 877, obtained employment. Business, technology and computer majors were offered the highest salaries ranging from 510,500- 518,420 Receiving a college degree is each student's ultimate goal. But it is those smaller successes which lead to progress-self-development and aca- demic growth. The 1980's is a beginning and a con- tinuation of planning and development towards a higher education. -SHERYL DUFFY A Students spend money fleftj on pinball machines as a break from academics.

As your tram car stops, please step off and walk to the correct line for registra- tion processingf' blares the speaker above head. lt's some time in the twenty-first century. President M.O. Looney has been replaced by none other than his grand- daughter Rachel. Spratt Memorial Stadium, with recent ren- ovation, now seats a crowded 50,000 spectators. The work and toil of yesterday has paid off. That work and toil of 'lyesterday is the work and toil of today. Yesterday's pursuits-today's pursuits-will become tomorrow's realities. A study authorized by the Board of Regents was complet- ed by the Midwest Research Institute of Kansas City, which foretells a possible route for the college to take. The study determined that the college should taken an ac- tive role in seeking graduate programs not currently offered in the area. It was also determined that enrollment was up nearly 5.6 percent, which exceeds national and state trends for four-year institutions. The results were opposite of those determined by the Coordinating Board of Higher Education in 1979. With the growth of the college, the computer department has developed a five-year plan to study computer needs and evaluate annually, in hopes that new equipment may be pur- chased to keep up with the need. In 1978-79, Looney alluded to a goal of five thousand stu- dents in five years. Perhaps optimistic, the goal is attainable. Past projects to increase enrollment have concentrated on the sports program. But at Prexy Club the first semester, Loo- ney announced a shift in concentration on academic excel- lence and needed construction. The future looks bright for the college as it moves into its second decade rather aggressively. Maybe the state legisla- ture will come to realize that what is needed is a viable city university with freedom to grow. The basis for which has al- ready been established. -MIKE HOFFMAN 5 An artist's conception of the college center tabovej includes a planned bowl- ing alley-recreation complex.

Openingf7 Mayor bans 'a-thons'g reverses decision As of February 19, 1980, St. joseph Mayor Gordon Wiser banned all UA-Thons for the purpose of raising money or promoting a cause because of the danger involved with hav- ing the participants on the city streets. This would ,mean there would be no more bike-a-thons, walk-a-thons, or run-a-thons for worthy causes. That was, however, until enough people complained about it. Wiser had suggested instead uwork-a-thons, raising mon- ey by working those hours that would have been spent walk- ing or biking in the city parks. A March of Dimes representative pointed out the danger of that suggestion by showing the risk of allowing all ages. of participants, including children, to use the tools necessary for the work involved in cleaning and gardening in the park. And as far as the danger of being on the city streets is Ground squirrels rival Griffon as mascot ln most places they would be considered chipmunks with a thyroid problem, but on the Missouri Western campusthey rival the Griffon for school mascot. Scampering across the grass so fast they are usually no more than a blur, the ground squirrels are more fascinating to watch than most of the teachers. lt becomes a contest to see how close they will allow a person to get before they head for the nearest hole. Not being totally anti-social, they will force themselves to stay put, trembling, sometimes almost within reach. But the slightest quick movement will send them flying. lt has been rumored that signs indicating 'Squirrel Cross- ing will be posted at strategic sidewalks. lt is certainly time for this rival of the educational system to be preserved for future generations. Who knows, in a few years it might be the Missouri Western Ground Squirrels. 8! Potpourri concerned, information about injuries directly related to HA- Thons held on city streets is not available, because they are recorded by name, and not by cause. After the decision, the March of Dimes announced that they would still have their annual walk-a-thons, because it had been approved prior to the decision. Apparently the appeal from the mayor's office was not taken particularly seriously by any organization that uses the 'A-Thon as a major source of funds. The pressure from the various groups broke down the resistance of the mayor, and he reversed his original stand. So now, the many organizations that depend on the mon- ey from these A-Thons will brave the danger of St. lo- seph's streets, and hope that the warning is an errant one.

N 5 an Q7 ,fx WX Evinger runs in Boston Without a doubt, most people have heard of the Boston Marathon, the 26 mile running event that annually takes place through the streets of Boston. Some names that come to mind include Dr. George Sheehan, Frank Shorter, Dave Wolfe and Lee Evinger. Don't worry, however, if the last name doesn't ring a bell. Lee Evinger is neither rich nor famous, but he is a Geology instructor on campus. This year, Evinger flew to Boston to run in the marathon. You might say it's been a lifetime goal, said Evinger who ran eight to nine miles a day to train for the event. But this marathon was a bit different. It had rained and the temperature was in the 70's. The crowd loved it, but the run- ners despised it. Evinger related that after he finished, the medical area for treating patients looked like a 'lwar zone. Evinger himself had approximately twenty-five blisters on his feet. Finishing better than the previous year, but with a longer time, Evinger crossed the line approximately 1300 out of over 7000 runners. Schottel to ichigan State Kush struck his punter, setting off a na- tionwide media surge on the institution and Kush, Missouri Western's assistant coach Steve Schottel had no idea his career would be affected. When Michigan State Coach Darryl Rogers left his job to fill the vacancy left by Kush, the Spartans hired Frank Waters as the new head coach. Waters was familiar with small col- leges and was an acquaintance of Ivan Schottel, Steve's father, who suggested Steve as an assistant. So before Schottel was aware of the happenings, he was asked to interview for the job. When my father notified me I'd be coaching for Michigan State, I just said 'yeahf I didn't think he was too seri- ous, Schottel related. Obviously, the jump to a major uni- versity is a tremendous opportunity for the 31-year-old Schottel, but the years. thought of leaving Missouri Western leaves him feeling remorseful. llYou know, I think every high school coach dreams of coaching at a major university, but I could have got- ten along quite well here, Schottel said. One reason is because of the .college in general. I feel in the next ten years the growth at Missouri Western will be phenomonal, which I think is a reflection on the institution as a whole. Another reason is there are tremen- dous opportunities here, and not just in the coaching fieId, Schottel continued. 'President Looney has just done tre- mendous things with the growth of the school. I just hope and pray the people at Michigan State are as friendly as the people here. Schottel said he doesn't plan to stay at Michigan State for long and hopes to return to Missouri Western in two The reason I went into coaching were for recognition and satisfaction, Schottel said. l'At Missouri Western, I feel really important and I have a great rapport with the players and even the students. Plus, the pressures of winning aren't nearly as great here as they will be at Michigan State. Schottel said coaching at Missouri Western went further than screaming at practices and games. Here you get a chance to see players change. I feel they accept me, not only as a coach, but also as a teacher and a counselor. At Michigan State l'll have to start on my knees, l'll be on the bottom of the totem pole, and that worries me. llBut this is my home. All my family is here, my past is here. I just hope I can come back soon and bring with me ev- erything I Iearned, Schottel said. - CHRIS HAMILTON Potpourri!9 Pony Express rerun, construction continues on West Belt Wanted: skinny, young wiry fellows, preferably orphans who are willing to risk death daily. Ten riders answered this advertisement, recreating the pio- neer mail service of the 1860's. But unlike the original mail service, which carried letters in ten days between Missouri and California, the re-enactment took seven weeks. Bryan Dancer Construction tabovej moves along slowly but steadily on the West Belt. The spirit of the past is linked to the present in the double exposure ifar rightj of the campus and the Pony Express monument. The re-run of the Pony Express was sponsored by the Brit- ish Postal Service and the Sears tire division in honor of the 100th anniversary of the death of Sir Rowland Hill, inventor of the gummed postage stamp. The riders departed from the Patee House Museum luly 14, 1979 for the 1,996 mile trip by horseback. They were met in Sacramento seven weeks later by Governor jerry Brown. Dr. David Nicholson, trail boss, explained that except for the absence of threat from Indian and outlaw attacks, the rid- ers endured the same hazards as those 120 years ago. Each rider was accompanied by a motorized support team traveling on neighboring roads, transporting fresh horses. The rider with the best accumulative time was awarded the Sir Rowland Hill Cup by the British Postal Service. The realization of a 25 year old plan, the West Belt project, will bring interstate highway traffic along the west edge of the central business district. According to lay Price, president of Townsend and Wall, the West Belt will put downtown St. Joseph back on the map. Lorin Dunham, City Planning Director, agrees with Price. lt will provide a vital traffic link between the state and feder- al highway system and business district, opening the north- west part of the city for development. The modern highway, with four lanes, will stretch approxi- mately 15 miles, connecting Interstate 29 southeast to Inter- state 29 northeast. The new highway will have two entrances and two exits to the central business district. It will also connect with U.S. High- way 36, South 4th Street and the Stock Yards Expressway. In addition, it will extend to lule Street, tying St. Joseph Avenue and Highland Avenue. However, what once started out as a 537,178,000 project in 1957 is now billed at S109,726,998. Senator Thomas Eagleton helped to allocate another 59.5 million in March 1979. The cost of the project is sure to exceed S5109 million by its completion in 1984. . Much of the construction of the West Belt is completed- the section between Interstate 29 and 22nd street opened two years ago in 1978. Traffic signals have been installed on Highway 36 with ramps leading to the new Pony Express bridge. With over S100 million worth of construction and 25 years of planning, the West Belt project is beginning to show major results, pouring economic life into the city. -SHERYL DUFFY Don Koehnlein 107 West Belt ,ff 1' , ', VZ Vx G + 2 M2 'gn ff W1 'Q ,,4, 1 Q K A , f ff 'fx M 'Y , ff H-..,. 2 W-W , 4 460 o , 4 1 r ,, 1 V 5,6 A, M ,QQ ,579 f M W, v,,,, ,, ,, A , ,,,,,A ,Www ----i, Mawwmwwwfwwu 10 ,, 1 Q., , M., -..M,...,,,, ,- W-..,., Z? .WM . Buchanan County Court House renovated lllt was a momentous event and the people entered into the spirit thereof with pride and enthusiasm, and well they might, for they were laying the cornerstone of the grandest county building in the West at that time. Au- gust 25, 1873. -The Daily News' His- tory of Buchanan County and St. loseph, The St. loseph Publishing Co., c. 1900 A once magnificent structure in downtown St. joseph is finally being renovated thanks to the voters of Bu- chanan County. Perhaps the word ren- ovate is too harsh to describe the pres- ervation of the Buchanan County Court House. ln 1979, a four-year levy was ap- proved by voters to provide the coun- ty with funds to restore the now na- tionally-registered landmark. lan Mehl serves as Grants Coordinator and is in- volved in keeping watch on the progress, The option of renovating rather than building a new office for the county court lltook place because of the cost and particularly because of the feeling for the building, lan added. UA new building would look just like any other bank building and symbolize the bureaucracy of today. Besides, cer- tain people in St. joseph would have made it impossible to build a new one. Presently, all exterior work is under contract. lt will total about S51 million and be finished by the summer of 1980 Interior work will cost about 52 mil- lion which first will include the heating and cooling system. Then work will be- gin on the east wing, to increase interi- or space. Comparing the Court House to a Eu- ropean Cathederal, lan related, llThe building should last for 500 years. In Eu- rope, the Cathederals stand as the cen- ter of the towns, much in the same way the Court House did when it was built. Missouri Western students have many reasons to visit the Court House. It is the place to pay property taxes, 12fCourt House fight legal battles, and attain marriage license, among other services. Some students frequent the Court House more often. Linda Bachman is enrolled in a 2-l-2 program which pairs associate degrees in para-legal and criminal justice. Linda works at the Court House in the Support Enforce- ment Unit as an investigator. 'I think the Court House renovation is an excellent plan. It meets two ob- jectives. First, it is not wasteful of tax- payer's money. lt would cost a lot more to build a new building, Linda explained. Second, it preserves what we have. The beautiful structure has much po- tential. Most citizens don't. know what's happening, nor do they appre- ciate it. But they'll be glad when it's done. ln contrast, the decaying county jail, built in 1900, is not a first for Buchanan County. Back in 1900, citizens faced the same problem as today. 'The people of Buchanan County have no cause to be either proud or satisfied with the county jail. lt is an antiquated, unsafe, unsanitary pile that would be considered about the 'proper thing' in Spain, where they are retrogressive and cruel. -The Daily News' History of Buchanan County and St. loseph, c. 1900 Perhaps a new jail is in the future for Buchanan County as was a restored Court House a few years ago. . -MIKE HOFFMAN The restoration of the courthouse nears comple- tion fbelow leftj, but much of the interior lbelowj remains the same. The new YMCA fabove rightj was completed this year. Some of the new equipment fbelow rightj is being tried out. ew Y offers diversity The new St. joseph YMCA opened its doors to the public on December 4, 1978. The 53,600,000 structure located at 6th and Charles streets was finished. lt replaced an old and battered building at 10th and Faraon that had been in operation since 1910. Instead of cater- ing only to men, the new YMCA pro- motes the family atmosphere. The Young Men's Christian Association has become more of a generic term and there are equal facilities available for both genders. Due to this new image, the YMCA has become very popular and its membership continues to grow rapidly. The following year brought some changes to the YMCA. Missouri West- ern students were affected directly by one of these changes. The student membership rate was abolished and the annual rate was increased to 575. Fred Hoffman, the director of the YMCA, commented, The other YMCA's we talked to were doing away with the student rate. The cost of running the YMCA is very expen- sive, and cutting out the student rate is one way to help meet the increasing costs. At present, the YMCA does not of- fer any programs specifically targeted toward the students here. 'lThe YMCA is a group work agen- cy. We must direct our efforts to the community as a whole. We are inter- ested in the Missouri Western students, but we have to direct our efforts to- ward a larger group and just hope the students 'want to involve themselves, Hoffman stated. Many students do par- ticipate in the various programs that are set up for local citizens such as Y- League basketball. Even with the rate increase the YMCA is still fairly inexpensive in com- parison with other private clubs. Mark Campbell, an accounting major, relat- ed, 'll like to play racquetball. The cost to play at the YMCA is a bargain com- pared to the private club in town. There are also more facilities available to use when l don't feel like playing racquetball. Do you have an extra S75 laying around? If so, a YMCA membership might be a pretty good investment. Es- pecially during those cold winter months when one tends to be -less ac- tive and grow those extra inches around waistlines. - BRYAN DANCER YMCAX13 Q 5 in ,.a,, NX ig I- Qxf . .. mxXX . me at . rw-3-tsia.e4ssgf.f-,Egvrf--ff .F 7 5 1 Q., 7 Yi? R' Ss. sift Theatre, arena to revitalize downtown The Missouri Theatre is a familiar landmark in downtown St. joseph. lt has been the only concert and fine arts facility in the St. joseph area, limiting the size and caliber of the entertain- ment that comes here. The Missouri Theatre, operated by Town Hall Centre, is a member of the newly formed Allied Arts Council, which includes other groups such as the Pony Expressmen, the Sweet S 147Theatre, Civic Arena Adelines, and Missouri Western's Cul- tural Events Committee. All of these groups are partially funded through the Missouri Arts Council. Young people in St. loseph are aware of the Missouri Theatre and try to keep abreast of the activities related to their age group. Most students are aware of activities held in the theatre because the College Center Board sponsors many of them there. These have included The Tom johnson Band, Shooting'Star, Blackfoot and William Windom as Ernie Pyle. The theatre was finished in lune, 1927 and cost a whopping one million dollars to construct. The finished struc- ture resembled a Turkish Mosque with its red-and-blue tile and three-bay fa- cade towering above the 7th block of Edmond. The first show to play the newly opened theatre, starring Clara Bowe, was entitled Rough House Rosie. The Wurlitzer that was christened with the new theatre was the most modern organ of its time. It had 11 ranks of pipes, tubharps, chimes, Glockenspiel, zylophone, piano, bird and boatwhistles. The organ was sold in 1956. Before 1978's bond issue to restore it, the structure changed owners, man- agers and attempted to open as a movie theatre. The theatre, with its renovation and beautification finished, accomodates meetings, banquets and, of course, entertainment. But, because of its size it has its limits. During the spring of 1979, ground was broken for a new structure, the St. joseph Civic Arena. The new facility will be a multi-purpose building with 112,000 square feet of space for just about anything imaginable. The build- ing itself is constructed of concrete, steel, and brick, will be fully air condi- tioned and will house meeting rooms, offices, dressing rooms and an audito- rium which is capable of holding 5000 people. The new facility lies between Felix and Francis Streets and Fourth and Fifth. The Civic Arena will accomodate a wider variety of civic activities and help rejuvenate the downtown area.

Granted, there has been a conflict of opinions between Northwest Missouri State and Missouri Western State. But where does the controversy lie? Between the students, the administrators, or both? During the 1978-79 school year, a major threat to MWSCs future expansion materialized. The Master Plan lll, formulated by the Missouri Coordinating Board for Higher Education, sug- gested that Missouri Western should concentrate on two- year programs, while NWMSU would concentrate on their four-year and graduate programs, Also, dormitory expansion at MWSC would be restricted. The plan seemed to favor Northwest, which has faced re- cent drops in enrollment. Northwest is basically a residential college, while MWSC is considered a primarily commuter col- lege. But officials at Missouri Western feel that the college should be allowed to grow and prosper as it is, with a good blend of both commuter and residential students. Several hearings with the Board clearly indicated St. loseph's opposi- tion to the plan. But what are the feelings today? Several students from both Missouri Western and NWMSU feel that their career goals are the important thing, and that they feel no personal malice toward the other school. They are at their prospective college or university in preparation for their own futures, and they simply donft want any interference with these plans. As for the administrators, they seem reluctant to stir up what is now old business. Dr. Marvin Looney, president of Missouri Western, declined any further comment, saying that he felt with everything running smoothly, there was no reason to bring up old problems. What does the future hold for Northwest Missouri State and Missouri Western? No one knows for sure. - DEBORAH CHAPMAN ls Missouri Western a threat to N.W.M.S.U.? Some say yes others disagree.

After years of playing on the borrowed Noyes Field, the Golden Griffons finally had a field to call home. The prospect of playing the first homecoming game nat home added to the frenzied excitement of the Griffons possibly earning a berth in the national play-offs. It was the culmination of the years of expectation that touched off one of the most exciting and active homecom- ings in MWSC history. A carnival atmosphere kicked off the homecoming excite- ment on Monday as Blum Center was transformed into a myriad of chance, skill and fun booths. A shooting gallery gave participants a crack at shooting down the lchabods and the Shotgun Wedding booth took a lighthearted poke at the sanctity of marriage. Later the same evening, students traded books for variety acts at the talent show in the Potter Fine Arts Theater. Acts ranged from serious musical presentations to absurd scenerios on life. Blum Center was again the center of attention Tuesday as the MWSC Percussion Ensemble performed for the crowd and queen candidates modeled the newest in fashions from a local boutique. Ventriloquist Willie Tyler and his wooden headed friend Lester captured the audience's hearts with the classic tit for tat dialogue that used to fill the burlesque halls. Willie and Lester capped the evening's entertainment which began with local folk singer Greg Seever. An egg toss, pie eating contest and sack and three legged races helped ease the tense hours prior to the bonfire and the announcement of the Homecoming queen, Thursday. Soon enough though, twilight came and the crowd gathered. Spirit began to rise as cheerleaders led cheers, pep speeches were given, and torches were touched to the Ichadod. As the flames still licked about the burning lchabod, the announce- ment that many had been waiting for began. Diana Graham received the title Her Majesty and Teyoni Pottoroff was named Maid of Honor. Other finalists were Cheri Dixon, jamie Bingham, Kay Barton and Kathy Bond. 24 fHomecoming Mike Taggert Q42j expresses his jubilant elation ftop rightj with a scream, a leap and a hug for a fellow Griffon player after a considerable gain.

Friday was a day of final preparations for the parade and game. Organizations' members put the final touches on their parade entries and readied for the big day. The parade began through the crowd filled streets Satur- day morning. Numerous floats, cars, and marching bands snaked their way through town, amid the cheers and admira- tion of on lookers. The Folklore theme of the various entries was mirrored by the historic setting of downtown St. loseph. After all of the week's excitement the hard fought 23-21 loss to the lchabods was a bitter disappointment. Not only did it mar one of the most exciting homecomings ever, but it eliminated the chance of MWSC moving to the national play- offs, and dimmed hope that the Golden Griffons could cap- ture the CSIC conference title. Homecoming was wrapped up with the traditional dance. Music was provided by Sleeper. - CAT HEIDERICH lb fHomecoming Greg Armstrong Student organizations compete ftopl against each other for best spirit sign and decorated car.

However, many people, ei- ther by error or luck, haven't been in- formed of America's most serious area of overcrowding, the college dorm room. Many dorm rooms house three people. These rooms are 12 by 15 ft., which doesn't give students much room to entertain guests, There are three main areas of overcrowding in dorm rooms: the closet, the desk, and the bathroom. Noted philosopher Erma Bombeck once said that the closet is where the children, the dog, and the neighbor- hood's stray cats are corralled when mothers crave some piece of mind. Dorm room closets usually don't con- tain kids and cats, but there are many interesting items found in these holes of storage that contribute to over- crowding. Some of these items include 34 pairs of mod-colored pants just like the Rolling Stones wear, several pairs Not a comer goes by unnoticed tbelowj when it comes to looking for places to stash things . . . Lance Miller fleftj believes in bringing all the com- forts of home-whether they fit or not. A Mis- souri Western coed tbottom rightj begins the te- dious job of squeezing all her belongings from home into her dorm room. of socks tsome that matchj, and 5125 worth of faded jeans hung on only three hangers. The top shelves of dorm room closets support a huge stack of Waylon lennings albums, as- sorted leather products used in extra- curricular activities, and every issue of Playboy dating back to 1967. The floors of dorm room closets are over- crowded as well, with gamey jogging outfits, a collection of nearly 3,000 ex- otic pieces of gravel from that 1971 field trip to a high school's parking lot, and a new typewriter with the serial numbers scratched out so the authori- ties will never find the true owner. Desks are another source of over- crowding. The desks in dorm rooms are overcrowded with such objects as S30 in change lmostly penniesj, several poker chips and obsolete bus tokens, and hundreds of various candy wrap- pers. One corner of the desk is always reserved for love notes, textbooks covered with cobwebs, and as autographed picture of loe Vigliaturo playing tennis. As overcrowded as desks and clos- ets are dorm bathrooms. Two rooms share a bathroom, so generally there is twice as much overcrowding. Hanging Photos by Scott Saving on bathroom doors are overalls, cover- alls, and Underalls that someone's girlfriend left by mistake. On top of toi- let tanks are stacks of fresh toilet paper supplied by the Dorm Office, and is- sues of the St. loseph News-Press that are more pleasing to use than the toilet paper. One corner of the bathroom is reserved for a Penthouse library fea- turing alphabetic reference. The show- er stalls are a sight to behold. Scattered around the shower floor are bottles of shampoo, hair conditioner, and Canadi- an Mist. Shower floors are also over- crowded with species of bugs, roaches, mites, ticks, lice, fleas, and overly large mice that some students suspect are sewer rats in disguise. Finally, dorm overcrowding is a problem that produces such effects as claustrophobia fthe fear of enclosed, crowded placesj, and RA Negative fa blood disease affecting Resident Assis- tants who dislike inspecting over- crowded shower stallsj. However, there is a bright side to dorm room overcrowding. No one will ever find those love notes in the corner of the desk. - CARY COFFEY Dorm Life X29 md, Q -f X 4 K 'W Sag xl H f f -5 x X me--Q , S A Nxixxssmr x ya Ni , Q lwiwn 'Y , f .Q sp' 'H' 5 .

'I really like it when the kids have a personal problem and feel like they can come and talk to joe and me about it. I really like trying to help people. I guess I'm the closest to the people who babysit for the girls. I don't think I could live here for- ever. I can relate to the kids in the Scott Saving dorms. It hasn't been that long since I lived in the dorms myself, said Nora. llBut I always want to be connected in some way with the college. It makes you feel young to be around people with so much energy all the time. llAs for my daughters, Tisha and Ma- ria, I think they can gain only positive things by being raised here. Tisha is more mature and outgoing than other kids her age. I do feel that she might be missing something by not being around kids her own age, but she goes to pre-school, and she really loves it, said Nora. III really don't know for sure if all the kids who live in the dorms realize that we live here. But the ones who do, I think, kind of enjoy having a family at- mosphere around. They see joe and Tisha all around campus. We also eat as a family in the cafeteria with the stu- dents, said Nora. To live here you have to be a fam- ily that likes people and lots of com- pany, Nora said, because that is what you get. - TRACIE HICKLIN is if? V22 14, , yi , V K 1 5?

Doug Hoskins a native of Bolkow, lives in the Tau Kappa Epsilon house during the week and goes home every weekend. 'It's less expensive than an apartment, Doug said. Privacy is an issue at the two frater- nity houses. Doug Hoskins said, 'Any- one can come in downstairs and the guys living upstairs wouldn't even hear them. Walt Rogers of Lambda Chi Al- pha disliked the absence of privacy - 'I'd rather have my own place, but rent here is very reasonable.

Of course, each time someone spots it, its appearance is different. To some it appears as a foot-stomping, beer- guzzling monster. To others it's a quiet animal sipping a daiquiri and conversing with friends, attending a rock concert or a pajama party. Don't assume, however, that Nightlife depends on spirited drinks, it abstains, sometimes.

Pizza joints and bowling alleys, skating rinks and movie theatres keep Nightlife on the move but close too early and force it to go back out on the streets to find other havens.

Missouri Western Friday evening: The lots are desolate. The dorms are nearly empty. Life is seemingly non-existant. This situation may seem like the science fictional end of the world, the ultimate air raid or anticipation of a gigantic catas- trophe. In reality this evacuation occurs on a weekly basis. As a dorm resident, the college student often complains about the lack of activity on the campus during weekends. Chris Hamilton lr., dorm resident, believes, We have to have activities that makes the students want to stay here on the weekends. Group activities like bowling night instead of dances in which we can't compete with commercial discos. 'lln the past, Dean Forrest Hoff relates, llwe have always had criticism for the lack of weekend activities. Through the years we had activities that have been busts. Hoff believed that 'It is not possible to even have a successful weekend activity unless the dorm population increases. And that will not be possible until new space is available, as the present dorms are overcrowded. s g , I , G lrmjam :? E li I Ev EQ? - CQ ' 3535 Elm 8 But the problem of lacking attendance is not unique to Mis- souri Western. According to Patty Rosenauer, commuter stu- dent, It's the same here as anywhere else. Students who don't live on campus don't take the time or the trouble to find out about activities. If it's not next door, they don't go. Average college kids don't know or care about activities out- side of their own department, Rosenauer believes. There can be many excuses for non-attendance or lack of activities. But one may be assured the blame rests with all, in that people are the only ones who can make things happen. Attendance at functions on campus will insure that such oc- currences will continue in the future. Only people can stop Missouri Western from being just an- other vacant campus. - DARRELL RILEY Dorm residents leave early Friday afternoons and return to campus late Sundayg hence a pack-up for home attitude prevails.

Missouri Western is a student-oriented campus-students can walk into any administrative office and meet with officials of the college, Nolan Morrison, vice president of student af- fairs, related. Bulletin boards on campus are numerous. uWe don't limit the number of notices put up-eXCept during elections, Dean of Students Forest Hoff commented. llOrganizations and individuals are supposedly responsible for taking notices down-l usually send my workstudy student out to yank them down. A new bulletin board for organizations was in- stalled across from the Book Store in the College Center. 'lAlthough organizations have not put up one notice, stu- dents have reacted to it by inquiring about organizations they didn't even know existed, Hoff added. As a student publication, the Griffon News serves as the primary forum of student opinion. Most students read it, Byron Golden, editor, commented, l'they're beginning to de- pend on it for the lCalender of Events' and reports on major campus happenings. l'The Notes and Nags used to be daily and included Faculty and Staff news as well as student news, Morrison related. Budgeting forced us to make it bi-weekly and put out a sep- 42!Campus Communications arate newsletter for the faculty and staff. Notes and Nags, usually two pages, prints many types of information. 'Notes and Nags is very useful Golden commented. 'llt covers things the Griffon News can't-like club and organization meetings. Student government, by its very nature should be a voice of the students. Golden stated 'll feel the SGA could improve communication by word of mouth. Few senators get other students' opinions. The Senate voted early in the year to end printing of the SGA index-a newsletter whose purpose became outdated by Notes and Nags and the Griffon News-'worthless, according to Golden. Once a month, organizations can send representatives to the Prexy Club luncheon-a steak dinner provided by the school- to exchange ideas with other representatives and ad- ministrators. Morrison added, 'lPrexy Club could be utilized better. Presently, students serve on all campus committees that in- vestigate college operations and procedures, giving students a voice in such matters. 'lA communication tool we once tried was a phone device we in the PR department that anyone could call and hear a recording of recent happenings. It didn't work, Morrison re- lated.

Campus Communication!43 Some students' work is never done For most people attending college is a full-time job. Stu- dents learn quickly to budget their time effectively in order to complete their work. Besides homework, a student may use his out-of-class time to participate in a variety of clubs and other activities that are offered to students. In spite of all the things that are available for students to do in their spare time, many students also hold down part-time jobs. Why do students choose to work? The most obvious reason is money, but there are other reasons for working. Patty Larrabee, a marketing major, said, Ill work as a recep- tionist in Admissions and Records. Working as a receptionist gives me an opportunity to meet a lot of students. I also teach gymnastics at the YMCA. Teaching gymnastics helps me keep in shape, besides that I really enjoy the sport.

He has worked at Rice's Casual Wear since he started at Missouri Western. Dave stated, Ill feel that my job helps me to budget my time better. I also get a discount on clothes, which really helps. Most working students have to work in order to meet their expenses. If given the choice, they would probably rather spend their spare time playing racquetball, shooting baskets, watching television, socializing, or just relaxing. These stu- dents don't have that choice, however, but it appears they still try to look at their employment in a positive manner in order to make the best of their jobs. - BRYAN DANCER wt w5f5if7Q fm- sf' 5 ?Ql3? ic s gif' .

That is, until last February, when a local dairy company threat- ened to take legal action in order to re- trieve several hundred crates reported- ly being used in the dorms. The crates are apparently put to good use, since the dorm suites are so crowded that every available inch of space is used. They are great as catch alls, bookcases, and stands for stereo outfits. But apparently Meadow Gold Dairy was more interested in their operations than in decorating Missouri Western's dormitories, as it was reported that the company had lost about 580,000 in stolen milk crates. A rumor circulated that the diary had Pinball petition 'iT and A, to put it nicely, was the subject of much controversy surround- ing one of the pinball machines last fall in the Student Center. It was a 'Playboy pinball machine, complete with nearly-dressed Bunnies. The ma- chine came to the attention of several female students who decided it was degrading to women, that is exploited the female body. These women started a petition to have the machine removed, and in the process created quite a stir. ln the end, the female complaintants were angered as much by the publicity as by the machine, and the machine it- self was taken out, as part of the com- pany's regular rotation schedule. 461 Potpourri 9, R mmitqg i milililif ig cf if .4 ,- u l l X T Q. 0 , S... ami 'Qt T. lilllllihg Wim W A ll , .EA W 4 l Nl . applied for a search warrant, and that dorm residents would be fined for each crate found in their possession. The news quickly spread, and many students responded by dumping the crates in the dorm courtyard. Two dorm residents, Dan Reid, and David Shute, felt that in light of the situation, everyone should at least be orderly. So they sacrificed one-half hour of their time, and very neatly stacked the crates in a pyramid, which sported a twenty-eight crate base. A truck from the dairy retrieved the several hundred crates the next day after they were piled in the courtyard. Four-day week for summer Childhood dreams of weekly vaca- tions came true for summer school stu- dents as the sessions were reduced to four-day weeks. The change was made by the col- lege in an attempt to conserve energy by closing on Fridays. Approximately 85'Zs of the people on campus surveyed were in favor of the proposed plan. The summer session ran from lune 2 to luly 29, and the day classes began at 7:30 a.m. and ended at 5:15, with the night classes running from 6:30 to 9:20. hu.. Pyramid schemes Pyramid schemes, also known in the St. joseph area as l'Businessman's Venture, was a get-rich-quick way for a few people to take advantage of others. The idea is for a person who is associated with the 'club to get other people to pay himfher one thousand dollars. Five hundred goes to the club, and five hundred to the salesperson. Theoretically, each person who buys into the club allegedly has the potential of making 564,000 by continu- ing the pyramid on his own. There are obvious problems with this theory. First, where does the five hundred dollars earmarked for the club go, and second, how many people know 128 people with S1000 to use for pure speculation 1128 times 500 equals 64,000l? There is a president of the club, but his function is never really clarified, and there is no real benefit to be derived by merely belonging to the club. Finally, the Buchanan County district attorney, Michael lnsco, declared this type of scheme illegal, and it dwindled into obscurity. But there are undoubtedly true believers in this venture who haven't yet figured out that it is a dead-end pro- position. 'fx W ll!

After years of so-called female 'exotic dancers at The Players, a Frederick Avenue night spot, male strippers made their first appearance in St. loseph at Aspen Annie's, a restau- rant and disco, and Kowalski's Nitery. Billed as male dancers and fashion models, their presence caused quite a stir among the all-male Missouri Liquor Control Board, and they shut down both shows on charges of lewd con- duct and indecent exposure, and fto make it stickj on charges of selling li- quor to minors, Managers of the two establishments claimed possible entrap- ment, especially involving the liquor sales, but relunctantly closed down. So while St. Joseph still has its land- mark of female strippers for the men, women will have to go without com- parable entertainment-at least until a suitable male equivalent of the G-string meets with the Liquor Control Board's approval. Potpourri! 47 POTPOURRI Return to draft As has happened several times in the course of history, people were once again scared out of their minds by the prospect of rejuvenation of the Draft. For those who are too young to tru- ly appreciate the horror the Draft brings to the hearts of young men land now womenj, strong and brave, you, too, should be aware of this grand and glorious institution that in formers years was the backbone of our Democracy. World War Two seemed to make it necessary to build this country's defenses by forcing tforcing?l?j eligible men to serve and keep the world safe for Democracy. It wasn't so bad, though, because the United States had been attacked at Pearl Harbor, and it only stood to reason we should want to save our Allies from the Nazi inva- sion. Then came the Korean War. Not really War, by some people's stan- dards, it was a police action. Now we were fighting the Red Menace, so the patriotic citizens of the U.S. of A. didn't really seem to mind. Finally came the war in Vietnam. It may never really be decided by any- body just how unnecessary the United States' involvement was, but one sig- nificant thing that did occur was the protest to the Draft. Young men simply decided their lives were far more im- portant than the people being assault- ed in Vietnam. Public displays against the system were not unusual, with draft cards burned and protest songs sung. Some 48! Potpourri showed the supreme protest by going to Canada to avoid the Draft. They felt that giving up their citizenships was the biggest sacrifice they could make, but most of the people who went to Viet- nam tended to call them something much simpler- cowards. Finally the Vietnam War was over, for the United States anyway, and the U.S. welcomed its soldiers back home. lt was not the same welcome that had met soldiers from other wars, and this generation of veterans faced many problems because of the attitudes of people who thought they were simply puppets of a basically corrupt govern- ment. President Carter then took it upon himself to welcome back the men who had deserted their country, with a full pardon of the draft evasion charges. Many were happy, but many were also unhappy that the ones they thought had abandoned the country in its time of need would now feel totally free from any responsibility for their actions in regards to their homeland. But all this can be taken as a matter of semantics, now, because it is a whole new generation that might pos- sibly have to face the same chance of going into the Service as four genera- tions before them did. With the crisis in Iran, and the invasion of Afganistan by Soviet troops, the United States was forced to be on the defensive for the first time since the start of the Cold War. Revitalization of the Draft was a real possibility, or at least manadatory draft registration just in case. But now the question was not only should the Draft be reinstated, but who should be in- cluded. ln this day of equality between the sexes, it had to be an issue wheth- er or not women would be included. Fortunately, the situation did not re- quire immediate action, and for the time being, the strong and brave men and women could stay at home and worry about being safe in a Democra- cy. Aloha dormies Late january is a time of year when cooped-up dorm residents begin dreaming of sandy beaches and golden bodies.

That was just a portion of the 250 pounds of sand that was deposit- ed in the suite above. llThen people began to arrive.

So, unlike most dorm parties, this one had the perfect setting: sand, 60's music, and lithesome beauties in scant swimwear. But unlike most parties, this one ended with the governing officials on campus sending in the storm troop- ers of the illustrious security force. F5 E62 VX fa Z0 li C 1 X. f gdni, an X! E A .em e- 5 MM . xg ,,.. fi -we 'fx Q P We fy Dean dumps confiscated booze The smell of whiskey filled the air as nine bottles of lack Daniel's confiscated from a MWSC dorm were poured out in front of the Blum College Center March 6 by Forrest Hoff, dean of students, Hoff stated that this was the largest amount of liquor ever found on this campus at one time. 'We had found one case of beer, but it doesn't compare to this quantity of whiskey, he said. The discovery of the whiskey was purely accidental. Hoff sent a maintenance man to the dorm room to leave messages for two students concerning another matter. He entered the living room and viewed the liquor sitting in plain sight on a desk through a wide open bedroom door. He immediately sent for Hoff who in turn confiscated approximately S100 worth of whiskey. I'AlcohoI is a contraband on campus, Hoff explained. llAny alcohol confiscated isn't given back to the students. A lot of booze is found in the dorms and it always goes down the drain. No state law is in effect banning the possession of liquor on a Missouri college campus. The Board of Regents has a ruling, however, that no alcohol can be consumed on campus. 'lState legislature has strong feelings against allowing liquor on a Missouri campus. In fact, three years ago, Northwest Missouri State University introduced booze on campus. The governor put his foot down and informed NWMSU that if the ruling passed, he would cut down on their budget, Hoff stat- ed. Hoff feels that student drinking is heavier this year than in the past. 'It is a sad state of affairs. I feel we have some alcoholics who don't realize it, Perhaps we should introduce a college alcohol abuse program. The policy for first-time violation of liquor possession is to confiscate the alcoholic beverage and the student's identifica- tion card. If the student is a dorm resident, he is to report to the coordinator of housing, joe Vigliaturo. Off-campus stu- dents are required to report to Dean Hoff. Students found violating the ruling the second time are referred to the judi- ciary board with recommendation of suspension from the dorms. l'We haven't caught anyone with a second violation, so we haven't had to reinforce the policy yet, Hoff stated. l'Most students on probation realize that we mean business the sec- ond time around. Hoff further explained that 99 percent of those students in violation were discovered by one of two ways: a phone call informing the housing director or supervisor that a party was going on in a certain suite or by the supervisor hearing loud noises from a suite while on tour of the area. The pouring of the lack DanieI's was witnessed by many students. Hoff commented that even the individual who owned the liquor was present. l'Students were crying and carrying on -they were having a good time. Randy Haffey, a student said, A rule is a rule. I had to help Dean Hoff pour out the whiskey because he was getting tired. Another student, Richard Rowland, disagreed with the rule. 'llf you are 21 and old enough to buy booze, you should be old enough to drink it. It's unfortunate that we have to sneak around and hide it. But I can also see where it's difficult to keep the liquor out of the hands of minors. Maybe when new dormitories are built, a dorm exclusively for 21 year olds can be build to help alleviate the problem. - KAREN FLEMING Potpourri! 49 Craig Drath The Up With People concert drew 4,000 to the Spratt Stadium, for the first concert of the year. The group sang popular songs of the 60's and 7O's. 5O! Concerts Concerts-are the becoming obsolete? The subject . . .? Concerts. This word takes many meanings. lt can mean big names, attending, or even planning concerts. 'lMost people donft understand our concert situation, Gary McGuire presi- dent of the College Center Board CCCBQ said. 'Students see the job of planning concerts as easy. It isn't. We work with a 548,000-a-year budget and with the rate of inflation we can only afford two decent concerts a year. l'Concertwise things are getting bad because bands are asking for Outra- geous prices. We never profit from concerts. If we do it's only from the public attendance. We don't ever break even. We had to cut down on the amount of money spent for con- certs. Also we ran into facility prob- lems. To really stage a big concert we'd have to find a big enough facility to accommodate several people. The college's facilities do not offer enough space and the Missouri Theatre isn't a very well rounded place to hold a con- cert. l'To really be doing big concerts stu- dents need to pay. The problem here is that students are so used to getting in for free. lf it ever comes to students having to pay for concerts, I pity the board who has to start charging. Stu- dents will be reluctant to pay. 'Somebody had to change the hab- its that were started on having big name concerts. Now, Missouri West- ern has a larger variety of things this year because of the cut in budget. This ww KWWL' Y' I year we've had the 'Up With People' Show, the All-School Talent Show, Willie Tyler and Lester, Tom lohnston in concert, Casino Night, and the Ozark Mountain Daredevils. Really, we're limited to what we can do. Activities sponsored by the CCB were quite varied. McGuire gave his comments. The lUp With People' concert was a first in having something so early in the fall. It was a joint ven- ture with the First Banks of St. loseph. lt contributed a lot to the college and community by working together. We had a very big crowd, roughly about 4,000, that attended the show held in the Spratt Memorial Stadium. I was in favor of the concert mainly because of the college and the community having something in common. Also, it was our first outdoor concert. As long as we fthe CCBQ can offer five activities, it's fine, because stu- dents only have so much money. Strange things, concerts are! McGuire concluded.

Concertsf51 New student pastimes: Snortzng, tokzng, boozzng A dimly-lit bar on the other side of the Missouri River is packed with stu- dents and other non-students often re- ferred to as rednecks. Some under- age high schoolers have borrowed lD's to sneak in. Still others seem to be col- lege professor age, making for a wide range of ages. Quite a crowd, But who is the most likely to be an alcoholic or a drug ad- dict? All of them could be. According to information available through the Health Services office, alcoholism and drug misuse are not limited to a certain age group, a certain race, or any cer- tain income level. Conflicting opinions exist as to whether alcohol and drug misuse is a problem on campus. Louise Evans, the night nurse at the Health Services of- fice stated, 'It's not an issue here. l've never seen anyone inebriated or high. l'There is a problem among students in general, even among high school students, but the students here are quite fabulous. But joe Vigliaturo, Housing Coordinator, who lives in the dorms, had a different view. 'I keep statistics, related Vigliaturo, 'll think there is a definite drinking problem. Right now, if a student wants to drink, he can. Someone is caught if it's reported or if we happen to be there. 'lVandalism is usually done under the influence of alcohol, not drugs. About drug misuse, Vigliaturo added, llLast year there were many rumors, it's not quite as bad this year. According to Drug Misuse published by Charles Scribner's Sons, young adults turn to drugs because of intense loneliness, aimlessness, lack of goals, absence of feelings, an underdevel- oped value system, mistrust, or self-de- 'Photos by Craig Drath 52!

Whether or not one views it as a problem, alcoholism and drug misuse can affect students' classwork, career ambitions, and eventually their jobs. Maybe students should ask them- selves before they take one more shot of booze or one more drag of a joint how it will affect their future. -MIKE HOFFMAN Cut into lines frightj, cocaine is snorted usually with the aid of a rolled-up bill for an alleged 'lrich man's high.

In December of 1976 a bond proposal was turned down by the citizens of St. loseph. This bond issue would have allowed MWSC to build a much needed addition to the Health, Physical Education and Recreation building, an addition to the Fine Arts building and a revised commons area. Less than a year later MWSC went to full state funding. At that time plans to pass an appropriation to build the HPER addition went into action. ln the fall of 1978, 51.5 million was appro- priated by the Missouri State legislature. From that point the tale unfolds like this: late December, 1978 - MWSC advertised the opening bids in the local newspaper. Early lanuary, 1979- Charles Burri, Athletic Director, states the building will cost 53 million. No reaction from the state. February 22, 1979 - The bid for 'Phase l, 51,527,000 is accepted by MWSC. This was 527,200 over the ap- propriation, an illegal action. No reaction from the state. lune 29, 1979 - Additional Building brings the total to 5465,000 over appropriation. The Board of Regents say this money came from local 'lunencumbered funds. No reaction from the state. September, 1979 - joseph Teasdale, Governor of the state of Missouri breaks promises he supposedly made to Senator Truman Wilson by not supporting an appro- priation of an additional 51.5 million for the completion of the HPER. ln reaction Senator Wilson resigned from the Senate Appropriations Committee while other mem- bers of the committee wonder why a 51.5 million build- ing is costing 53 million. MWSC officials state they need only 5838,000 to complete the building. A Senate Appropriations Sub- committee investigates MWSC's tactics in gathering its funds. The findings state MWSC was guilty of accepting bids over the appropriation and not fully advertising the bid's opening fusing only one newspaperl. October 26, 1979 - The Missouri College Board of Higher Education recommends that MWSC be appropri- ated the 5838,000 needed for completion of the HPER addition. lanuary - April, 1980 - The appropriations commit- tees of the Missouri State Legislature continued Playing political football with their bills and suggestions. Meanwhile construction continued on schedule. No major delays were met by bad weather or lack of fund- ing. HPER facilities in 1979-80 were far from adequate. 'The current facilities are over utilized, we needed the space for expansion for our programs, Vice-President Nolan Morrison related. Charles Burri referred to the condition 'llike church mice piled on top of each other. lt fthe additionj will make the HPER building an impressive facility that will attract many students. None too soon, the building is tentatively scheduled to be in use during the spring of 1981. - DARRELL RILEY The HPER addition will house many new facilities including four racquetball- handball courts, a gym-arena, three volleyball courts, two tennis courts, a one-tenth mile track, plus several classrooms and storage rooms. A human performance laboratory and training rooms will also be located on the first floor. A gallery on the second floor will provide seating for an audience of 500 overlooking the handball courts. Additional classrooms, dressing rooms and offices will connect the older building with the new through a hallway. HPER Addition!55 Chelline has unique hobby Professor doubles as Dominello the Clown l'm the only one in town who gets applause for putting extra clothes on, chuckled Warren Chelline, English profes- sor, as he stepped into his red-and-white checkered clown slacks before 35 appreciative fifth graders at john Glenn School. Delighting his audience with a behind-the-scene look at the art of make-up and costuming, Chelline slowly transformed himself into Dominello the Clown, his alter ego for over 20 years. By blending visual and oral lessons, Dominello managed to teach two of his favorite subjects-clowning and circuses- to youngsters who wanted more than the allotted 45 min- utes. Teaching behind the make-up of a clown may be sneaky, but it is effective. The versatile Chelline was introduced to clowning when he moved to Pensacola, Florida, in 1958. l think you'd make a good clown, said Fred Smith, his first friend in the new lo- cale. Smith, professionally known as Nemo the Clown, be- came his adviser, instructing him in the art of make-up and costuming. Choosing the right clown face and suit took thought and .t . IW' time. I took portrait pictures of myself and colored them un- til l came up with this, Chelline said. l'lt's kind of delicate to paint, but not terribly tedious. Ordinarily it takes him about an hour to get dressed and put on his white face, red mouth, flaming red wig, and black eyebrows and smile. The white face clown, so named because of background face color, is one of many different kinds of clowns. Emmett Kelly, Sr., whom Chelline met occasionally at Lake Tahoe, be- came famous for his sad-faced tramp named Weary Willie. Poodles Hanneford combined acrobatics, bareback riding and clowning. Rodeo clowning is yet another type, requiring athletic skill and a lot of nerve. The name, Dominello, is original. Its root is the Latin word dominus which means master and has a pastoral connotation. He chose that because of his involvement with lay ministry and with the Boy Scouts. The suffix is natural. As Chelline told the fifth graders, NMost clown names end in 'o', like Whizzo, Boxo, and then there is Dominello-the greatest clown of them all. Clowning is an enjoyable hobby for Chelline. He has talked to many groups of all ages. Once in a while he even gets paid s 'Sr RQ at 25s-ff 561 Dominello the Clown 'ir Fifth graders lfar leftj from lohn Glenn Elementary School enjoy a break in classroom routine. lt is not every day that kids get to see a clown in person at school. Chelline ltop seriesj rubs white greasepaint over his face and whis- kers-then applied color lines and powder. With costume complete including a red ping pong ball for his nose lleftj, Dominello explains the origin of cir- cuses. for it-at parties, programs, and commerical affairs. But he is quick to point out that it is, in fact, lla serious business. Recalling a visit to the chiIdren's ward of a hospital, he says that it is hard work. Trying to relieve the suffering and misery of others by bringing laughter and smiles is emotionally drain- ing. 'lCome, laugh at me and with me and thereby alleviate the strain or tension or the sickness that is besetting you. That is the basic statement of the clown, according to Chelline. Clowns and circuses go together like ham and eggs today, but it has not always been so. Clowns can be traced back to ancient Egypt, and circuses to ancient Rome and Greece. Clowns sort of joined the circus later. l'm a real circus fan, and have a card to prove it, quips Chelline who belongs to a national club called Circus Fans of America. He also has an extensive collection of books and materials on both circuses and clowns. ln his nine years here, Chelline has become well known for his wit, eloquence, and seemingly inexhaustible interests. He is in constant demand in the community as a master of ceremo- nies and as speaker. l'CIowning will always remain just a hobby, says this Eng- lish professor. l'l'll never run away and join the circus. But, as he wistfully hopes for the money to add a Keystone Cop suit to his clown wardrobe, one senses that the hobby may yet lead him into new adventures. - THERESA POWELL Dominello the Clown!57 Pam Dunn crowned Sweetheart Queen Blushing grade schoolers exchanged cute and inexpensive Valentines, lovers and spouses shared intimate dinners and romantic gifts, and students partici- pated in Sweetheart Week activities, all in celebration of the annual feast of love, Valentines Day.

Sweetheart Week Lack of student spirit hampers Greek Week After months of hard work and preparation, MSfGreek Week came as a disappointment to the committees in charge as it failed to materialize in the form expected. Lack of school spirit was blamed among other things, as many events were cancelled due to apparent disinterest. Sunday would have been the possi- ble highlight of the week. The Playboy bunnies were going to spend the day in St. joseph. Tickets were raffled so that two lucky people would each win Alex Russell free to all Missouri Western students with student i.d.'s. Pam Dunn, Dormitory Association candidate, was crowned Sweetheart Queen 1980. The Sweetheart queen candidates were Dunn, Michelle Shalz, Marie Minor, Natalie Thompson, Fran Sherron, Kim Ramsdell, Diane Giannetta, Pam Van Horn, Cindy Hagee, and loni Forrester. The week was to end with a basket- ball game against Washburn University, but it was snowed out. The crowning ceremony and dance were held at the Ramada Inn, regardless of the weather. an entire day with one of the Bunnies. The Playboy representatives would then play against local celebrities in a pillo polo game later that afternoon. With only 24 hours to go before the Bunnies were scheduled to appear for a photo session, it was decided not to go through with the program because of a lack of ticket sales. Only S102 worth of tickets had been sold, and the cost to bring the Bunnies from St. Louis was 52000. The sign that met the ticket holders on that cold Sunday afternoon read, 'lDue to lack of interest, the Playboy Bunnies Pillo Polo match has been can- celled. Refunds given from 2 to 4:30. This last phrase set the pace for the rest of the week. Dan Reid, co- coordinator of Greek Week, said, There was no binding contract on the Playboy Bunnies. Even though it doesn't seem to figure that the Playboy Bunnies weren't a good draw, it's defi- nitely a sure thing that a few people around town weren't all that upset. ' The hospital bed race was held in bone-brittling cold weather the next day. Eight teams representing the fra- ternities, sororities, and the dorms competed in the event which was hi- larious, invigorating and sometimes painful. Tuesday showed the lack of love between the faculty and administra- tion. In an all out, fight-to-the-death basketball game that evening, the ad- ministration pulled out a close six-point win. The Greek system showed its spirit Wednesday with all the members of the organizations wearing their Greek letters. ln the afternoon and evening a beer and hamburger bash was held at the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity house. The following day was an off-day for Greek Week-time to recover from Wednesday night. On Friday, Carnival Day did not go off well, with only two groups setting up booths. The Anything Goes part of the day included such things as a tug- of-war contest, pie throwing, and an eggtoss.

K Q. , iff 27 Election '80 provides rivalries Since the Revolutionary War, few other events in the history of the Unit- ed States have invoked as much public concern and involvement as elections. 1980 was the beginning of an elec- tion year. With President limmy Carter seeking renomination and the charismatic Ted Kennedy trying to follow in his broth- ers' footsteps, the two started off the primary elections and caucuses tied. But as the public came to support Cart- er's views on inflation and his handling of the Iranian crisis, Carter pulled ahead. Analysts believe he will prob- ably go into the Democratic National Convention in Detroit with an almost two to one advantage. New York City will again host the Republican National Convention. Ron- ald Reagan, a former movie star and past governor of California, led a pack of competitors for the nomination, in- cluding die-hard George Bush. His lead 60fNational Elections caused Iohn Anderson to leave the Re- publican camp and seek the Presidency on the Independent Party ticket. How this will effect the Republican Party is yet to be seen. A few oddities surrounded the elec- tion year. In late April, Richard Nixon moved to New York City fironically the site of the Republican Conventionl. Few realize that according to the Con- stitution, Richard Nixon could be elect- ed to another four-year term. Also, 1980 coincides with a twenty- year cycle of death in office. Since Wil- Iiam Henry Harrison died in 1841, the president that has been elected every twenty years has died while still serving as president. Abraham Lincoln, elected in 1860, was followed by Iames Gar- field, elected in 1880. William McKinnley, elected in 1900, was fol- lowed by William Harding, elected in 1920. Franklin Roosevelt, elected in 1932, 1936, and 1940 died serving as President as did john F. Kennedy, elect- ed in 1960. Who will it be in 1980? Although a Kennedy in the White House could lead to an insane assassination attempt, Ronald Reagan, if elected, would be the oldest president ever at the time of his inauguration. Reagan would be a month from 70 years old. From pre- vious examples of Nixon, Ford and presently Carter, the work of the presi- dency is a severe strain and hurries the aging process. While students took a passive role during the first half of 1980, the sec- ond half should provide some interest- ing rivalries. Whatever happens, it is probable the presidential hopefuls will promise to fight inflation and unemployment- a promise American's have been hearing for more than a few years. -MIKE HOFFMAN Misemer runs unopposed in SGA election Kendall Misemer, elected SCA presi- dent for the 1980-81 school year, plans on finding student input and working with it, along with Dean Hoff. We hope to tailor our term and all our duties to the student interests, Misemer expressed. Apathy apparently prevailed during the elections, with only Misemer run- ning for president and Mark Manville for vice-president, a total of 400 voters cast their ballots. Requirements for SGA candidates are minimal. To run for either president or vice-president, a grade point aver- age of 2.5 or above and an enrollment of at least 12 credit hours are required. Senators need just a 2.0 grade point average and be enrolled in at least one class. No previous experience or in- volvement is needed. Student government is broken up into two branches. The executive branch of the SCA is made up of the president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer, and four to five cabinet members appointed by the president. The legislative branch, or Senate, con- sists of 20 Senators. The SGA vice- president presides over the Senate. Of the 400 student votes, Misemer and Manville received 334. The write- in candidates received 66 votes. Of- fices are held for one year, from spring to spring. Meetings are held every Monday afternoon at 4, and are open to everyone. Misemer decided to run for presi- dent because he was interested in stu- dent government. -nu , x smosiir oovse-iifsssi?

Most people couldn't pro- nounce it, let alone tell where it was and what was happening there. Suddenly the name of this country was heard everywhere. Fifty-three Americans were taken hostage by Iranian students, and held in the Ameri- can Embassy in the capital city of Teh- ran. Exactly why they were taken hos- tage is a long and complicated story of injustice and politics. The main problem was that no one could quite figure out exactly who was receiving the injus- tice-the people of Iran under the rule of the Shah, or the Shah for being forced to leave his home because he feared not only for his life, but for the lives of the members of his family. In self-exile since early 1979, the Shah had taken refuge in the United States, primarily for much-needed medical treatment not available else- where. Because of the basic freedoms upon which the United States is based, President Carter did not refuse entry to the Shah simply on the basis of alleged crimes. ln retaliation to the entrance of the Shah into this country, the Iranian 'stu- dents lfor lack of a better definitionj literally invaded the American Embassy, putting all Americans there under secution in the U.S. and didn't need anymore. President Carter then had a decision to make on whether or not to turn the Shah over to the rebels in exchange for the hostages. The new ruler of the now religion-based government, the Ayatollah Khomenini, could not assure the safety of the Shah, not could be guarantee a fair trial for him. Because of this, Carter decided not to turn over the Shah, and the hostages remained prisoners. Even after the Shah left this country, the hostages were not released, with the students under the direction of the Ayatollah Khomenini, demanding that the Shah and the United States be put on trial for crimes committed against the Iranian people. Q 1 - gf K vgxx f X Q- N-N Aaa- Reports of inhumane treatment of the hostages reached the American people, and they responded with an- ger to the fact that the rights of Ameri- cans were being violated. The same Americans that had apparently gone to Iran to help with improving technology and make life better for the citizens there were being blindfolded, isolated, and treated no better than animals in a zoo. Perhaps the act that angered the United States the most was the parad- ing of prisoners in front of the Iranians, who spit on them to show their con- tempt for not only the U.S., but for the President and his decision. Reaction to this materialized in the form of protests all over the country to Iran, the people of Iran, and even to Iranian students here in the United States. But the protests were not just Americans protesting Iran, but also Iranians protesting the actions of the U.S. The most violent demonstrations were the ones conducted by the Iranians here. Finally action was taken to try to avoid this continuous confrontation, and President Carter announced the initiation of checks on Iranians in this country under the label of llstudentf' By doing this, it was hoped that any Iranians in the U.S. in violation of the heavy guard.

As could be expected, the American peo- ple listened to these complaints in dis- belief, knowing that their own citizens were being inhumanely treated in Iran. Only a small number were actually de- ported, but the remainder saw what could happen to them, too, if they continued to take advantage of the United States' hospitality. So the vigil began, waiting and won- dering when and if the hostages would be released. But even as important as the immediate situation was, something else almost as important happened.

' L ' i.5w-ia 'S L I njary affects 'almost' great season lf we stay healthy, then we can go a long way, said Coach Rob Hicklin at the beginning of the season. These are the famous last words of every coach in the business, but Coach Hicklin knew exactly what he was talk- ing about. The Golden Griffons rolled six straight wins, a new record for the squad, which included victories over Dana, Concordia, Evangel, Wayne St., Kearney St. and Emporia St. With this 6-0 record, the little un- known Griffs found themselves in the national ranking at the number seven spot and an outside shot at the play- offs. Kearney St. was probably the big- gest victory the Griffs saw this season. lllt was the first time in my career that we beat them and it felt great, Darrell Van Lengen said. 'We started feeling a lot of pressure from the fans to keep it up, Coach Hicklin stated. NA lot of pressure is really an un- derstatement as, with the victory over Kearney St., most of the Golden rooters started packing their bags and checking their maps to see how to get to Texas for the first round of playoffs. Suddenly, they would not be satisfied with a winning season or even a C.S.l.C. title, but it had to be a national playoff berth. Then the giant bubble burst when, in the third quarter of the game against Missouri Southern, Mike King Solo- mon dislocated his collarbone and had to leave the game. They fMo. Southernl are a big rival for us and we should have beat them this year, Van Lengen said. Mike tSolomonJ is a very big part of our offense, Coach Hicklin comment- ed. The party was all over as Missouri Western dropped from 6-0 to 6-4 with losses to Missouri Southern, Washburn, Pittsburg St. and Fort Hays. The talk around campus turned from we're winning to llthey're losing. Nobody loves a loser and the fans quickly let the Golden Griffs know about it. We're the same coaches and play- ers that were 6-0 at one time. We haven't changed anything except sud- denly we started losing, mentioned the coach. Even though they finished the regu- lar season with a 6-4 record, it proved to be a record-breaking year. Solomon, seeing little or no action in the final three games, broke both the career and single season touchdowns passing records. The word was that, when Almost sums up Pat Casy's near catch tleftl and the Golden Griffon football season in the new Spratt Stadium.

Photos by Greg Armstrong X Football! 7 1 Injury Affects Solomon was healthy, the Griffs of- fense rolled on. 'Mike had to be what you would call the director of our offense, but he also had a great supporting cast with him, Coach Hicklin said about his quarterback. That usupporting cast consisted of Rodney Stephenson and Mike Taggert in the backfield plus Tim Hoskins, Mark Lewis and Pat Casey at the receiving spots. Stephenson set the single season rushing record with 1113 yards, while teammate Tim Hoskins now holds the record for most touchdown receptions in one season. RWe are still a very young squad, es- pecially on our defensive unit, and I think this season will help us out to- ward next year, Coach Hicklin sug- gested. The squad will lose several key peo- ple to graduation, but Coach Hicklin believes that he can fill those spots and give the fans another exciting season. When people look back at the 1979 football season, many will remember the 6-0 part with all the excitement that took place, while others will re- member the 0-4 and the sadness that goes with losing. The ups and downs of a team can go without saying, but the few bright moments that the Griffs gave their fans should last forever. llWe almost went to Texas. - RICHARD MATZES The Griffs fire-up tbelowj during a pregame hud- dle.

Today, the backstop of that diamond is still there, but nes- tled into the side of the hill across from it is Spratt Stadium. The stadium, built at a cost of S718,482, was dedicated on September 7, 1979. This was also the day of the first real home game for the Golden Griffons. The stadium is almost equal in magnitude to its namesake, the late Elliot 'Bub Spratt. Besides a beautiful playing surface, the structure contains modern press box facilities and an en- closed stadium club. ' Spratt's sister Leah proudly remembers: UAS a boy, lBub' was very good working with his hands. We had a barn in our back yard, ton Pacific Streeti, and lBub' built a iShust de Shute' ta slidei that in my opinion could compare with any- thing at iWorlds of Fun'. Elliot taught Sunday School at the First Baptist Church to some 80 young men, she continuedfi When they were drafted into the service, tduring WWIIJ, do you know he kept up with every one of them and wrote them at least once a week - every one of them? As a young man, Spratt's life was full of outstanding achievements. At age 26, Spratt became the youngest city comptroller in the history of St. joseph. Spratt also played on the Hillyard Chemical Company's na- tional champion basketball team in the mid twenties. UA group of people from St. joseph had a whole train car rented and we never missed a game, remarked Ms. Spratt. With the addition of the new stadium, Missouri Western's Athletic department is more complete. With the stadium be- ing named after Elliot Spratt, Missouri Western itself is more complete. Ken Rosenauer Spratt Dedication 775 In the beginning, the idea of the Shrine Bowl was exciting and offering a berth to Missouri Western was perfect. Then as the date grew closer and clos- er, the mass media thought of it as a mistake. First, you have a 6-4 team that has lost its last four games in a row. They would be playing a team that should not have been invited before another: William lewell was asked to come in- stead of Baker University. The feeling that one got from read- ing the newspaper was Missouri West- ern should not show up at all. There was only one major problem with this idea: the author did not know the meaning of the word npride, but Coach Rob Hicklin and the Golden The last hurrah Criffons felt they did. The true measure of a man is how he comes back after losing several games, the head coach said. We were out to prove we were not the losers that everybody had started to la- bel us. If offense is your favorite part of the game, then the Shrine Bowl was a dream come true. The Griffons, with a 902, healthy Mike Solomon and a hungry offense, scored a total of 72 points for the big victory. l am very proud of the way our kids played their hearts out, so we could go out with our heads up high, Coach Hicklin said. The Bowl itself was a moderate suc- cess as St. joseph fans turned out on Craig Drath the Thanksgiving weekend to watch the Golden Griffons win. Considering all the other activities that were going on, Spratt Stadium saw a great game for the first Bowl to be played in St. lo- seph. lllt was a nice turnout, but l think a bigger crowd will come in the future, when the Bowl game is moved up a week or so, Coach Hicklin stated. Coach Hicklin thought there was a bigger crowd here for the Shrine Bowl than the Griffs had in Dodge City at The Griffons hit hard during the first Shrine Bowl Classic against William lewel-Dan Hensley fbe- low leftl tackles a Cardinal player and Rodney Stephenson flower rightl pushes for additional yardage.

Craig Drath Graduate coaches line Bear sized with a gentle personality might well describe the defensive line coach of the Golden Criffons, lay Adcox. Adcox earned his job by coming up through the football sys- tem at Missouri Western. He was the first graduate from this college to be employed as a Griffon coach. Enthusiasm and emotion are key elements of Adcox's coaching style. They must be because it's tough to take care of the men who play the game in the trenches, so to speak. During games, it is very easy to spot Adcox on the sidelines when the defense is on the field, for he is the one who looks like a third base coach in a baseball game: alert, energetic, constantly moving. He is responsible for calling the defensive signals to the team. Listening to every word that Coach lim Grechus relays from up in the pressbox, Adcox quickly flashes the ideas onto the field. Besides all these duties, Adcox also is an instructor in the Physical Education Department. He teaches many activity classes such as Golf and Aerobics plus a Concepts class. Adcox also believes that physical fitness is an important part of everyone's life. He jogs to keep himself in top shape. During the winter months, he swims laps in the college's heat- ed pool. lt is just all in a day's work and Adcox lives every minute. Some people might say that a Coach's life is not fun, but don't tell him that. He wouldn't belive you anyway.

Then, Satur- day comes along and Steve Smith puts on jersey Number 18 to become a Colden Griffon football player. Suddenly no longer is he llloe Col- lege, but a defensive back from Fainfield, Iowa. uHe has had an outstanding year for us and was a great example to our players, Assistant Coach lim Grechus said. Steve has been starting in the defen- sive backfield for Missouri Western since late in the season last year and started every game this year until being hurt in the Missouri Southern game. It was an ankle injury, something that causes big problems for a player who must use his legs to play. llSteve earned his starting position by working and studying very hard. He has a natural talent for being where all the action is, Coach Grechus said with a smile. It has not always been roses for Smith in playing football here. He was recruited out of high school as a quar- terback, but found that the Griffs al- ready had more than they needed. So the coaching staff took a good long look at his qualities and asked him to move to the defensive backfield. i'We look at two important things when a kid comes into our system. First, how he can best help our pro- gram and second, where is the quickest place he has a chance to play? Coach Grechus said. The second choice given Steve was all he needed. With weight lifting and play studying, Steve prepared himself for the change over very quickly. He did such a great job at it that Steve was named to the second team of the C.S.l.C. 'He is probably one of the best de- fensive backs to go here and if he could have stayed healthy for the whole season, maybe he would have made first team, Coach Grechus men- tioned. Steve gave Missouri Western his to- tal effort to the point that he tried to play with an injury for the second half of the season, including a separated shoulder in the Shrine Bowl.

The season, like the previous ones, was another that held several firsts for the Griffs. In the past years the Griffs were always State, Regional, and Na- tional contenders with a seventh place finish in the Nationals in 1978. But last year, with larger colleges moving into Division ll, such as Central Missouri State University, University Missouri- Kansas City, Northeast Missouri State University, Southeast Missouri State Unviersity, and University Missouri-St. Louis, the competition proved harder. lean Haffner and Kay Keller fabovej try to re- trieve the ball after a miss.

Though with a second place finish in both the State and Region VI Tourna- ment, the Ladies still made the trip to Nationals in Orlando, Florida. This was their third consecutive trip to the AIAW Nationals, but unfortunately they did not place in the top eight. Along the way to the Nationals, the Griffs picked up a first place finish in Central Missouri State University's invitational tournament by defeating University Missouri-,Kansas City, Em- poria, William Woods, University Mis- souri-St. Louis, Iowa State and the University of Iowa, and also a first place in their own invitational by de- feating Tarkio, Benedictine, Northeast Missouri State University, University of South Dakota, and Benedictine. A highlight of the season was when the Clriffs tied with Kearney State to share the Conference Title QCSICI. Each team had an identical 11-1 record with their single loss coming to each other. This was the first year the Griffs earned a share of the title. ill've played volleyball for seven years including AAU volleyball for two summers. I started playing in high school because I loved athletics and it was the only sport offered for girls. Also I knew that if I got a scholarship to a college I could get my education paid for. So I have continued to play for both purposes, said Kay Keller. The team had a great deal of exper- ience present as the roster contained four seniors, five juniors, one sopho- more, and two freshmen. Freshman Ian jenkins explained, lIWhen I was younger we played volleyball in the backyard, but I really started playing in high school and have been playing for five years now.

After completing her third year on the women's volleyball team, Stephanie kept her schedule busy by going out for women's basketball. I Stephanie, a junior from south Kansas City, explained 'I started playing volleyball during my sophomore year in high school and have played for six years. I went out for the team because it was a new sport that was offered and I wanted to see if I could play. Coming to Missouri Western in 1977, Stephanie participat- ed in women's volleyball. Commenting on the team, she said, uLast year we went to nationals. In 1979-80, the whole team returned, besides picking up several new members. Everyone worked hard. 'lWe were a lot closer in 1979-80. We were pretty close knit - although each of us had our own group of friends. The team played approximately 60 games of which ten were at home. IIlt's rough. she said, lt's hard to carry a lot of classes - most of the games were during the week. Besides her sports, Stephanie enjoys singing and sewing. 'Every once and awhile I sew my own clothes. As for her future in volleyball, it is limited. nThere are pro coed teams and national exhibition teams that play other countries, she stated.

At one point during the season, a freshman and three sophomores held four of the five starting positions. The true performance of the team was not accurately reflected by their season record of 16 wins and 14 losses. This was the first season that many of the players were on the squad due to a number of transfers from other schools. Despite the difficulties, several indi- viduals still managed to show flashes of brilliance throughout the season. Kenny Brown was noted by Coach Cary Fil- bert for his consistency of play. Kenny was the leading scorer on the team and set a season record against Southwest Baptist when he connected for 34 points in a game that went into triple overtime. Kenny added, 'lPeople come up to me and ask me how I score so many points. It's pretty easy to score a lot of points when you've got the team helping you by setting up picks and passing the ball to you. The whole team deserves the credit. Those guys are great. Dave Weber, a 6'9 center, showed a great deal of improvement in his play this year. Dave was the first player on the team this season to receive the Kenny Brown pulls down one of his many rebounds against Drury.

Coach Filbert related, l'Dave really started playing the kind of basketball we were expect- ing from him. His improvement really helped the team a lot. Wendell Humes, a senior guard, had another outstanding season. Wendell is noted for his exceptional defensive ability. He also led the squad in assists with an average of 2.8 per game. Teammate Mitch Williams added, Wendell is our catalyst. He is the lead- er of the squad. When one of us is having a problem with our game, Wendell can usually get us straightened out. The ability displayed by the Griffon cagers this season certainly led to some good expectations for next season. There were only three seniors on this year's squad, and one of them, Fred Sava, will be returning next year as a graduate assistant coach. Another point to be considered is the fact that through out the season each player contributed to the team at times when their efforts were really needed.

Mitch Williams came into the home game against Washburn with the Griffs losing and turned the game around only to see the Criffs lose when a Washburn play- er connected at the buzzer. The individual abilities of the players on the bench to come into the game and do an excellent job promoted a feeling of mutual respect between the team members. This relationship among the team members and this season's playing experience should help to increase the performance of the team in the coming season, accord- ing to most sources. Another bright point in next year's season should be the completion of the Health, Physical Education and Recreation building. The new gymnasi- um will seat approximately 6,000 peo- ple. It is the second largest gymnasium in the State of Missouri. Paul Sweetgall, Sports lnformation Director, added, The new gym will aid in the scheduling of practices and should be a strong drawing card for re- cruiting new players for the team. - BRYAN DANCER n-I .017 9 I xy O if iw 4 ,Vw W Q1 The cheerleading squad frightj with the help of the conehead section Qbelowy gets the crowd involved in chants and cheers.

At times the bleachers are sparsely filled. What is the reason that more students don't turn out for the basketball games? The fact that this is a commuter school has a lot to do with some of the poor attendance at the games. 'llf the St. joseph News Press and Gazette would give more informa- tion as to where and when the basketball games are being played, I feel it would help, Coach Filbert said. llAlso if we could get live radio coverage again, this would help to stimu- late more interest.

We didn't have enough parental support and funding to continue, so some of us in the neighborhood got together and started playing basketball. You don't need money for that, Wendell explained. Wendell did continue to play baseball until his freshman year at Thurnridge High School. And it was those years at Thurnridge that Wendell developed the talent he possesses on the court. 'Our high school had a good basketball program, he said. We lifted weights and I know that most of the guys on the team here never did in high school.

Coach Lyn Cundiff recruited Wendell in 19761 Wendell said, I came to Missouri Western because it was a small school located in a city that was growing, expanding. The people were friendly. Coach Filbert never pulled any punches on me. He leveled with me and treated me like a man. Coach Filbert said, 'lWendelI is a very competitive player. He's smart about basketball. He knows the game.

Missouri Western's Sue Henry is one of those women. She graduated in spring 1980 with an executive secretarial degree. Coach Debbie Bumpus asked if I'd like to play for the WBA. I filled out an application. For sure I don't know if I want to play professional basketball or if I'd like to find a job in my field, Sue said. 'IMy college basketball career is over and I'Il miss it! It'Il be different going to work and not having to worry about missing classes and going to practice, she added. Sue described how she first became interested in basketball. 'I have two older brothers and all of us would go out and play basketball together. Since my brothers andl are just a year apart, I just did what they did. I can remember going to the gym over Christmas vacation and we'd play 'horse.' I'd beat them once in a while. Also they kept on encouraging me and that was important, Sue explained. With the encouragement from her brothers, Sue decided to play basket- ball in high school and college. My senior year I played basketball at Namaha Valley High School in Sen- eca, Kansas. I planned on going to. col- lege, but wasn't for sure if I was going to play in sports. During the regional tournament, Rhesa Sumrell, basketball coach here came to see me play. She asked me if I'd come try out for the basketball team. I was offered a schol- arship to play basketball and tennis for Missouri Western, Sue commented. There were five seniors this year who I've played with for four years. We had a change of coaches after the first two years. First we had Rhesa Sumrell and then Debbie Bumpus, Sue reflected. Ill enjoy playing basketball. It's a lot of hard work, I miss a lot of school, and it was hard keeping up on studies. The main reason I like basketball is be- cause l also enjoy the competition teamwise and individually. She added, ln the four years I've been here I feel the program has come a long way. We've won a state title and placed third in the regional. In 1979 I won all-conference and in State Tournament I made all-tournament team. V Women's basketball is often criti- cized by others, according to Sue. Some people feel girls aren't as good as men. There's a lot of talent in women's basketball. Girls want to play and win just as much as the men do. I think girls should be recognized equal- ly. I hope when I come back as an alumnus, I can see more people sup- porting the women's team,f' Sue re- marked. As for the future, maybe Sue Henry will be playing professional women's basketball or be working behind a desk as a secretary for an important execu- tive. In either case, she'II know what she's doing. -THERESA ZAWODNY Basketball PersonaIity!91 New cagers improve Lady Griffs' season I was real pleased with the season, stated coach Debbie Bumpus, summing up the 1979-80 season of the MWSC Lady Griffon's basketball team. After a disappointing season last year, the Lady Griffs rebounded, with virtually the same players, to post an im- pressive 17-13 record. Freshmen alsoplayed a large role on this year's team, with julie Sherwood, Lori Dixon, Lori Sweet, and Marilyn jones getting a lot of playing time. Player-coach communication was also a major factor in the squad's success this year. llThis year's team was very mature in the fact that we could talk things over very easily, Coach Bumpus reported. At times, the players on the team could see things that we couldn't. This was very helpful because if they hadn't told us, it would have probably gone unnoticed. Coach Bumpus felt that going into the state tournament, the Lady Griffs had a good shot at winning the title, but injur- ies to Kay Barton and julie Sherwood were costly. We really had our fast break offense working well, Coach Bumpus stated, Hand those two players fBarton and Sherwoodj were the ones who really made it go. However, the Lady Griffs did regroup well and only lost to eventual state champion, William Woods, by three points. Myasthia Kelley and Sue Henry led the team statistically. Kelley averaged 12.9 points and 8.4 rebounds while Henry scored at a 13.1 clip and snatched 6.3 rebounds a game. Coach Bumpus felt that the season as a whole was a high- light, but felt that two victories against nationally prominent teams were eventful. l'The victory against Northeast Missouri State fpast state championj and beating Emporia State lnation- al tourney entryj were memorable. Newcomers were a strong force this year and Coach Bumpus felt that that was due to the improved junior Varsity progress. l'The j.V. program was the major factor in players such as Lori Dixon, Lori Sweet, and Marilyn jones working their way up to the varsity level. These words were echoed by Freshman sharpshooter julie Sherwood, The j.V. games gave a lot of us younger players a lot of playing time which helped us to play in the varsity Chris Somrell trightj shoots for two in a home game. 92!Women's Basketball ,,, Alex Russell J gamesfl Sherwood felt that with so many young people play- ing it is really going to help next season. Coach Bumpus feels that next year's team will again be competitive and with the acquisition of some tall players will make outlooks even brighter. Coach Bumpus gave the team high praise. Personnel-wise, this was probably MWSC's most talented women's basketball team on off the court, she said. l'They really worked well together. - KEVIN O'CONNELL Mike Elliot Jef i Mike Elliot lulie Dixon ftopl goes for a layup in the Southern game.

'PersonaIly, I don't think we're as strong as last year. But we've had a tougher schedule this year, which has produced individual improvements. A graduate of Tennessee Tech, Bumpus has coached the team for two years. The team increased three players over the 1979 season, mainly due to incoming freshmen. Coach Bumpus looks for- ward to recruiting more members in order to strengthen the program. 'Many women from area high schools who play on college teams go away to school. But if they come to Missouri West- ern, they don't go out for the team. 'We're having auditions in the spring where high school Photos by Craig Drath graduates can show their tennis skills and try for a possible scholarship. Then at the beginning of the second semester fthe following yearl tryouts are held for the team. 'We haven't had many problems this year, it's better than I expected,' Bumpus continued. 'Our first match, then three others were cancelled due to the weather, but we've had no problems at all with injuries. Bad weather did interfere somewhat, putting off the begin- ning of practice until the third week of February. During the season, practices are held everyday starting at 4 and lasting one to two hours. The players usually practice specifically on one part of the game. 'Much of the time is also spent on challenge matches, where the players compete against one another and jockey around for positions on the team, Bumpus said. The team practiced indoors on occasion as well. Academic schedules have created some difficulty, howev- er. Class times as well as tests and finals have prevented many of the team members from attending all their tennis matches. The women also practice on their own, but no set sched- ules are made during the summer, as 'The program is not established well enough to demand that of the players, Bumpus explained. There is the possibility, though, of attend- ing tennis camps during the summer months. The women don't usually play tennis all through college, once they begin on the team. Most of the players are in- volved in more than one sport, even as many as three during one year. An important aspect of any athletic program is the rapport between those involved in the sport. 'The athletes and coaches are very close, Bumpus relat- ed. 'The relations between the two are very good. Iana Petty, a sophomore, said, 'lt's really neat, we get along really good, and l've learned a lot from the senior play- ers. 'And Debbie's a great coach, she went on. 'She tells us what she thinks, but she knows what she's talking about. - DEBORAH CHAPMAN Sue Henry Ueftj warms up before a match while Barb Gudde labovel returns a forehand shot to her opponent.

Last season, our record was 13-3, and we won the Missouri Southern Tournament. 'We also lost players through gradu- ation, he continued. 'Four of our players this year were freshmen. Only three established practices were held during the season, as most of the players practiced on their own. Many of the practice sessions consisted of challenge matches to establish posi- tions on the team. The team ended their season with a 5-6 record. Team members feel that if a professional coach is hired, and prac- tices as well as the program itself are more organized, it is likely that the team will improve in the future.

A tall blonde from Atlanta, Georgia, Chris came to MWSC on a scholarship to play basketball for her sister, Rhesa Sumrell, women's athletic coordinator. She was most impressed with MWSC's dorms. I have attended basketball camps with hall dorms and I couldn't stand that. MWSC's dorms have car- peting and I like the idea of having indi- vidual bathrooms as compared to floor bathrooms, Chris explained. St. joseph offered Chris an opportu- nity to get away from home. Ill like this area. The country is pretty and the people are nice, Chris said. The size of MWSC also was a decid- ing factor in Chris' signing with MWSC. At a big college, you couldn't go out for three sports and expect to play. They require a lot of dedication to one sport. l'm sure my tennis would im- prove a heck of a lot if I played just it all year, Chris commented. Chris never played volleyball until she came to MWSC. In her four years here, she and her teammates have won three state and one regional championships and have competed in the 1978 and 1979 national volleyball tournament. The 1979 MWSC tennis team, of which Chris was a member, won the state tournament. Chris and her part- ner, Sue Henry, were 1979 regional winners in doubles and represented MWSC in the national tournament held in Denver. I' think the most exciting event I was ever a part of was when we won regional volleyball and region- al tennis. We weren't expected to do anything. We came out of the blue and took it, Chris said. lt takes hard work and dedication to play any sport. lt also requires self-sac- rifice when your sister is coach. l'Sure it is difficult. lt's bound to hap- pen that you can't get along. You're gonna' have it. But Rhesa and I have ironed things out in the last two years and now we're happy with each other, Chris explained. Chris enjoys all sports and does not favor one over another. Tennis is more than a competitive sport for her. It is like a hobby she would like to play all the time. 'lTennis is the easy season compared to basketball and volleyball. Practices are more informal and fun because they are outside, Chris com- mented. A future goal for Chris is to go to the national tournament in singles and doubles. The pro-circuit interests Chris as a ,,.-Q-H Woman athlete Chris Sumrell relaxes fabovej in her dorm room.

I started playing tennis in the eighth grade. But there are smaller circuits that pay 52500 to 55000 per game, Chris said. Chris would like to work in outdoor recreation when she graduates follow- ing the 1980 summer session. Majoring in leisure management, Chris' goal is to obtain her masters in recreation within two years. The Forestry Service and the Conservation Department are the areas that most interest Chris. She does not think she will return to Atlanta to live. It's gotten too big for me. It has changed and grown in the four years that l've been gone. Atlanta is a beauti- ful city and I miss the seasons, but there are too many people, Chris ex- plained. . In her spare time, Chris enjoys swim- ming, playing the guitar, and experi- menting with painting and drawing. Lasting friendships are valued highly by her. I value real good friends-I could count these on one hand. But I have a lot of friends also, Chris commented. Swimming, volleyball, tennis, basket- ball, guitar, painting, drawing, and good friends help Chris Sumrell find happiness along the way.

Women's SoftbaIV99 Spring weather in northwest Missou- ri is usually unpredictable. This year was no exception with temperatures fluctuating around the 40 degree mark and an abundance of rain and snow. One thing that was predictable about the March and April weather was the effect that it had on the members of the Missouri Western Golf Team. The poor weather handicapped the golfers in their very first tournament of the season, the Baker Invitational held at Lawrence, Kansas. The Western golfers still managed to finish in the middle of the pack by placing seventh out of fourteen teams. The Missouri tournament had to be shortened from eighteen holes to nine holes when freezing rain struck on the morning of the tourney. This was a big disappoint- ment for the golfers who felt they had a good chance of winning. The golf team finally got into the swing of things after the middle of April, due to a long awaited break in the weather. In the Missouri Southern Tournament held at Joplin, Missouri, the golf team placed fifteenth out of thirty-six teams from all over the mid- western region. Mike O'Brien related, Coach Burri was pleased with the teams performance at this tournament due to the level of competition. Luckily we had a chance to get our games into shape before the tourney. Next season looks good for the Grif- fon golfers with all members of this year's squad returning. Stan Papciak, the most consistent player, added, 'I think we should have a pretty good season next year. Especially if we can get the three freshman players back who were ineligible this semester be- cause of grades. - BRYAN DANCER 1001 Golf Inclement weather puts damper on golf season Bryan Dancer Scott Saving Stan Papciak labovej warms his hand in between shots.

Mike O'Brien ftopl prepares to putt during a practice round at Fairview golf course. O'Brien: cz man with goal Illt's you against you, you against the course-not against other players. You play your own game. Mike O'Brien, captain of the golf team, maintains that golf is the hardest sport he has ever played. It's mental abilities as well as physical abilities that make the game tough, he con- tends. Being a golfer in the Midwest is often difficult because of the seasons. 'll play in all my spare time, but not when I would have to suffer. l'll wear gloves between shots, but it still has to be around 40 degrees before I'Il go out. O'Brien plans to move south after graduation to take ad- vantage of the weather. Practice is the most important aspect of the game to O'Brien. l'You have to hit a lot of balls, and I work harder on my short game, up around the greens. Having had only one lesson in his life, he credits much of his success to natural ability. i'My uncle told me I had a natural swing. I was just born lucky. Since the season of play is so short, he makes use of all the summer tournaments in the area. 'll've played in them since I started. There is more pressure because you are playing for money and prizes, as well as for a high-scoring place. Because of the obvious differences between the style of swings, O'Brien keeps his other sports activities, tennis and softball, to a minimum. 'I play tennis occasionally, but it inter- feres with the time I could be using playing golf. He is not a ferocious softball player, either. Ill show up for a few prac- tices and then the games, but after a few minutes of playing, l'm back in the swing of it. Being captain of the team has made him more aware of the organization of the team and of practices. Golf in college is different from high school. 'At LeBIond, we had a real good team. We went to state two years -in a row. Now l'm going to organize the practices more like they were then, and build the team up. This is the first year since l've been here that we have actively recruited players. The golf team doesn't get as much attention as we'd like, but then we haven't been play- ing as well as we'd like. Unlike high school, college teams play more tournaments than matches. This gives the team more chances to see the better players in the area, and the tournaments are more competitive. With just two more seasons left here at Missouri Western, O'Brien has set a high goal for himself. 'I plan to win a tour- nament before I graduate. l've ironed out the problems I had when I first started here. I had an attitude problem, I had higher expectations than I had time to work toward. Now, I know what I want, and how to get there. - PATTY ROSENAUER Classwork and practice keep ball players busy Scott Saving Craig Dram Athletes sacrifice a great deal of their time to play ball, and put in a great deal of effort all the time, rather than just during the spring season. 'Being a ball player is just like being a member of any other organization, it takes a lot of time, Bruce Reed, pitch- er, commented. Reed pitched 13 strike-outs in the first game. Practice is held everyday for an average of 2b hours. Each player has different areas for practice. The main areas are stretching, running, catching, batting, throwing, andfor pitching. The position they play greatly determines the areas they need the most work in. 'lBesides practice, the players must spend time in classes and doing home- work in order to pass. They must also carry a full schedule. lf they don't pass, A fight Qleftj sparks between third baseman Dave Brown and an unidentified Park College player during the seventh inning of play.

UThis year's team consists of 38 players, only one of which is a senior. Bobby Hay, who plays shortstop, re- members, 'lFall ball was the most stren- uous. That's when we were really giv- en a workout. At first, everyone did their own things, but as the season progressed, we started jelling as a team. We're even better a team than our record shows. 'lWe play real well as a team. Our overall attitude is a winning one, Scott Howard reflected. Howard serves as pitcher for the team. The team ended the season with a 22-21 record, 15-7 in district play. The squad was seated fourth in the district playoffs, the tenth year for a Griffon team to participate.

His baseball knowledge has earned him the nickname Cookie after retired Royal Cookie Rojas. ul guess it started while l was at Carden City, he began. At that time Rojas was with the Kansas City Royals and played the same position that l do. Cookie began playing little league baseball when he was six years old. 'lActually you had to be seven, but since my dad coached our team l got to play, he explained. An El Dorado, Kansas, native, Cookie studied at Garden City lunior College before transferring to Missouri West- ern. Our baseball program there was great. We lived baseball. We were second in the nation and were away from school for months at a time, he commented. nThe whole town was behind us. Local businesses also sup- ported us. Scott Saving Unfortunately football seems to draw the biggest crowds. 'lt's just nat- ural that the football program is always the biggest. Cookie was the only senior on the squad last year. Although there were no captains, Cookie was the team leader in every sense of the word. 'lHe's our team leader, stated teammate Tim Ellis. 'I guess you could say he's our middle man between the players and Coach Minnis. He's a pret- ty steady player. We look up to him because of his experience. Cookie is an aggressive and serious infielder and hitter who wants to leave it at that. ul'm going to hang up the spikes and watch it lbaseballj from here on out. A business management major, Cookie hopes to secure a job where he can possibly coach on the side. I want to invest a little and play with money, he stated. But from here on out it's just recreation. Away from the ball field Cookie likes to socialize, meeting new people. He was the original founder of the Coneheads, a group of crazies who come out of hiding during the basket- ball season. ul was really disappointed with the Coneheads this year, Cookie related. We just couldn't get the crowd into it. Most of the rowdies had graduated and the group just didn't seem to care. When Cookie's not out on the field, he's either out with friends or cooking up a storm in the kitchen. lll'm a helluva cook, he laughs. Cookie plans to spend the summer in St. joseph before seeking employ- ment. lll've had a good time in St. lo- seph. l really have. -SHERYL DUFFY l Craig Drath Baseball Personality!105 106K Intramurals Photos by Scott Saving Intramural sports 'better than ever' From flag football to tennis tourna- ments, involvement in Intramurals was at an all time high, with more than ten different sports conducted for the year. l'This year Intramurals were bigger and better than ever before, as far as participation goes, Teyoni Potorff, one of the Intramural managers, said. The year started off with flag foot- ball. UKB took first place and the Sci- ence and Math team followed up in second place. From football to Almost Anything Goes day during homecom- ing, it was Phi Sigma Epsilon on top with the first place award and most points for the whole day of wild and crazy activities. Pillo Polo, just about everyone's favorite intramural sport, rolled around with first place going to UKB. With the beginning of second se- mester, the wrestling meet started things off on january 27, and basketball got underway. This year basketball had more participants than any other Intra- mural sport with 34 teams in the run- ning for the number one title. When it was all over, it was UKB with the women's title and the Bl Bombers cap- turing the men's title. In February bowl- ing started, and the Lambda Chi Alpha I team ruled the competition. The free throw contest was won by james White, and Lambda Chi Alpha again showed superiority by capturing 73 fish in the Goldfish Swim. The strongmen came out of the pro- verbial woodwork to bend elbows and flex wrists at the first annual wrist wrestling tournament held on April 1. Then, on a cold day late in April, the golfers hit the course. In the open men's division Ed Waller was number one, and julie Pugh won the women's division title. Mark Smith came one stroke from breaking the Duncan Hills course record with a score of 32. Softball came next with Mark Ness' team taking the first in the men's cate- gory and WAA taking first place in the women's. The last event for the year was the coed tennis tournament, with Debbie Bumpus and Tony Bender the winning team.

This is just one example of the variety of activities the staff offered. To see how many people we can get involved in our activities is the ob- jective of the Intramural staff, Mindy Kottman, Intramural secretary, ex- plained. Each new activity has to go through discussion, coordination, and public re- lations before it goes on the schedule. New offerings this year included ice skating, cross-country skiing, and arm wrestling. In an effort to reach the stu- dents who were not interested in com- petitive sports, the staff sponsored the Christmas dance. l'Providing a variety of activities so that every student on campus will par- ticipate in at least one sport is a major challenge facing us, Nancie Thomas, Intramural Staff coordinator, said. Those groups participating in Intramurals were predominantly campus organizations, the Dorms pro- duced most of the participants for sin- gle or paired activities that weren't as popular as the team sports. The Intramural Staff was relatively new to the fields last spring, Nancie Thomas was in her second year as coordinator and Christina Laughlin was working as as a third semester man- ager. Gerry Gable, Vickie Brownell, and Teyoni Potorff were the other manag- ers. No one really ranked above the other, howeverg they all worked to- gether as a team. Requirements for be- ing on the staff meant being a Leisure Management or Physical Education ma- jor and being active in Intramurals. Aftergraduation the managers will benefit from the experience of work- ing on the staff. llThe managers get out with the experience to run a group, they have managerial exper- ience, Thomas added. jeff Green Mark Watkins Intramural Staff ttop leftj front row: ludy Kottman, lack Bidding, Chris Laughlin, Mindy Kottman, back row: Teyoni Potorff, lerry Gable, Vickie Brownell, Nancie Thomas Don Koehnlein tabovej and Mike Danaher participate in Intramu- ral golf at Cool Crest Miniature Golf course.

The students were members of the MWSC Theatre Guild. The Guild, an organization not offi- cially recognized by the college until 1980, is composed of approximately twenty-five theatre and non-theatre majors. They decide what shows will be presented and help to cast these productions. Meeting twice a month, the Guild this year brought about sev- eral changes to theatre production procedures. Theatre Guild MEN C The Guild was troubled by the fact that so many members of the commu- nity were involved in the productions, with few student participating. After meeting with the faculty, several agree- ments were reached. lt was decided that one production cast per year would be composed entirely of Mis- souri Western students. Also, in the re- maining productions, at least one-half of the cast must consist of college stu- dents. A suggestion was made that the number of plays be reduced from the usual four per year, but the faculty re- fused, the quota per year will remain the same. Meeting twice a month, the Guild members were automatically part of the shows- either in character roles, as directors, set and costume designers or technicians. However, no one did the same thing in all three productions dur- ing the school year. 'According to the college, we're not here to be taught, member Gina Lu- cas remarked during one meeting. uApparently the theatre is here to put on shows. We have two primary pur- poses: the education of the students and, more importantly, the entertain- ment of the community. Even if there were no students in theatre, there would still be plays at the college. Anyone interested in the theatre can join the Guild. Students trying out for various productions are encouraged to join. The excitement and aura of the theatre became second nature to its members. They hope to expand the in- 1 16!

D i Con't from page 116 Last year's company consisted of 24 members, nine of non-college status. There are two good reasons for com- munity involvementf' Steve continued. 'One is that there wouldn't be enough dancers to perform, and two, this way it gives the community a chance to get involved, mainly local and area high school students. For example, Melanie Ross, a LeBlond High School senior, has been in the dance company for three years. l'Melanie's dance instructor Sharon Kay McBee encouraged her to join the company, Mrs. Marla Ross said con- cerning her daughter. llThere's no- where else she'd rather be. Melanie, who has a natural attitude and desire to be an entertainer, has been fortunate to work out under the supervision of Vickie Keegstra. Accord- ing to her mother, Vickie's the best thing that ever happened to Melanie. All dances are choreographed by the dancers themselves or by Vickie. The music is selected by the choreographer with the set consisting of mostly lights. Vickie makes-up patterns and we usu- ally combine ideas, Steve explained. l'Usually whatever feels good and looks good to the dancer. Although the Dance Company does very little advertising, the schedule of appearances has grown within the last year. 'lWe perform every year at the state Physical Education Convention. Ava Snook This year it was at jefferson City, Steve related. We also perform at the Miss St. joseph Pageant, and Easter Sunrise Service. He continued, We also gave a Christmas program at the First Christian Church and performed at the Sigma Tau Delta National Convention. But our main concentration is always on our Concert of Dance held each January. Whether the Dance Company al- lows community participation, or not, dancing as a member provides another form of entertainment at Missouri Western and allows personal recogni- tion for the many talented members.

The officers selected for the 1979-80 school year were Shirely Duguid, presi- dent, Diane Reed, vice president, Bar- bara DesSpain, secretary, and Meg Eggerbrecht, treasurer. 'lThe Social Work Club established an environment to foster involvement and fellowship among social work stu- dents, Vice President Diane Reed re- marked. Diane was also one of mem- bers who with the help of the club was sent to Texas to a National Associ- ation of Social Workers meeting. The advisers for this year's Social Work Club were lane Allen and Henry Pilgram. Both also teach social work classes here. The club has offered such things as money-raising activities, the proceeds of which send members to the Nation- al Convention held in Texas. -- DEBORAH CHAPMAN IANICE FADDEN SHERYL DUFFY SCOTT CHANCE Organizations!117 Business organizations fight apathy The business organizations fought against apathy and battled their way to remain among students' top priorities. The American Marketing Association QAMAJ, Students' Accounting Society QSASQ and Phi Beta Lambda fPBLJ, with their many members conducted recruitment drives and participated in many activities, including Homecoming, besides holding their regular meetings. AMA put a new twist into an old routine by conducting meetings at ludy's D and G- noted for its montage of relics and photos predating World War ll. ludy's regular i'Tuesday Night crowd raffled off a stereo for the 1979-80 Marketing Symposium.

Members took a tour of the Hall Mark Greeting Card production plant in Kansas City, in December and at the end of the month rang in the new year with a party. Professor Michael Septon, AMA's advisor, helped to organize the Mar- keting Symposium, which featured five lecturers, in April. Accountants do other things besides keep books, as exemplified by the SAS. Rather than tackle the tiring job of building a float, SAS constructed a first place decorated car for Homecoming. The Volkswagon Bug they used was transformed into Rip Van Winkle. ln conjunction with the National Ac- counting Association, SAS sponsored Accounting Day on Nov. 15, with a to- tal of nine colleges or universities in- volved. The festivities closed with a banquet that evening. A representative from the Becker CPA Review Course explained the new tax laws for the year to the members of SAS during one of their meetings. The members raised monies for Mul- 1 181 Business Organizations tiple Sclerosis by going door to door and boosted their own treasury by hosting a coffee and donut sale on campus. Phi Beta Lambda, worked toward its goal of increasing membership to over 25, established by Carol Mabry, chap- ter president. PBL sent a delegation to the Regional !State Leadership Conference in Octo- ber on Homecoming Weekend. The conference was hosted by the Missouri State Chapter of Future Business Lead- ers of America- Phi Beta Lambda in St. Louis. An informal discussion with lay Price, president and general manager of Townsend and Wall Company, proved interesting to PBLers interested in owning their own companies. The chapter attended the State Leadership Conference in March and sold mugs with the Griffon mascot on the side as a moneymaking project. The organization hosted the FBLA Regional Contest in March. FBLA is the High School division of Phi Beta Lamb- da. This was in spite of the fact that PBL's advisor, Rita Hanks, took a preg- nancy leave in the spring of 1980. -MIKE HOFFMAN Matthew Burns American Marketing Association ftopl members are front row: Michael Septon, sponsor, Debbie Borchers, loan Sormanti, Freda Simmons, Mary Ann Gorsuch, Rick McKernan, Nancy Kane, back row: Kurby Daugherity, Mike Elliott, Curtis Alexander, Candy Cochran, lim Constant, Kath- leen Heitman, Batender, Ann Roberts, and Ver- non Longenecker.

A group of farmers who like to talk about andfor perform various farm duties together. Not hardly. The Ag Club is a group of motivated aspiring professionals with farm backgrounds who happen to be proud of their lifestyles. The Agriculture Club is one of the most active organizations on the Mis- souri Western campus. They started off the fall semester by providing the food and transportation for Farmers' Field Day. This activity is an annual event sponsored by the Agriculture Ag Club Forensics French Club Department in which farmers from the local area come her to observe the various farm research work done by agriculture students. Missouri Western is one of three colleges or universities in the nation that allow undergraduates to work on research projects in the field. ln the spring, Ag Club sponsored the Annual judging Contest, a livestock showing contest. Members of local 4-H Clubs and Future Farmers of America fF.F.A.j bring their prized livestock here to have them judged by the members of the Ag Club. The 175-200 contes- Mark Watkins tants who bring their animals to the event are from junior high and high schools within the region. Vernon Hart, president of Ag Club, said, l'The par- ticipants view the winning of an event in the contest as city students would view being the star basketball player. Their whole life is centered around farming and they take it very serious- ly. 11 Ag Club is also active in many school-sponsored activities. They de- vote a lot of time to building a home- coming float. This year their float came in third place. Each year the Ag Club goes on a field trip. This year they went to ob- serve the operations of the FarMar Company grain elevators located in Hutchison, Kansas. They also visited Mid-States Wool and Heston Farm Ma- chinery Company. ln mid-April the Agriculture Club held their yearly banquet. During this event various awards are given to outstand- ing club members, Eight scholarships are also awarded, ranging from S100 to 5400. One of the main goals of the Agri- culture Club is to improve the relation- ship between the farming community Ag Club fleftj front rovv: Kody Free, Kendall Misemerg middle row: Gary Carst, lim Macey, Keith Conrad, Tammy Gausteau, Vern Hart, Cin- dy Lewis, Nelson Dinsmoreg back row: ludy Ste- vens, lohn Chapin, Rod Fry, leff Elliot, Dan Elliot, Ken Krieg tadviserj, Steve Mayberry.

The Ag Club meetings are open to anyone who would like to at- tend. It is not a requirement that a stu- dent must be majoring in some agricul- tural field. Kendall Misemer related, We encourage all students to join Ag Club. We feel that Ag Club has a lot to offer and we are very proud of what we are. There is another side to the Agricul- ture Club. They like to have a good time. About once every month they have a party. llWe all like fun and en- joy each other's company. Being from similar backgrounds gives us a lot in common. That is why we get along so well, Kendell said. The Ag Club closed the semester with a barbecue at the Clinton County Sportsman Club. The main attraction was an 80-pound hog smoked to per- fection. This has become an annual celebration for the uAggies. Vernon commented, 'lt is a private lake with plenty of shelter. We really get a chance to celebrate the ending of the Penny Carter semester since we aren't bothering anyone and don't have to worry about rain. Being a member of the Forensics So- ciety is more than taking trips to a bunch of contests and winning tro- phies. lt takes a lot of hard work, time, and dedication-spending countless hours perfecting a piece that may not receive one bit of recognition. UAlthough there is a scheduled Forensics lab, a lot of time has to be spent by each individual practicing their particular piece, at least three hours a week independently, said janet Sirianni, advisor. Students are allowed to enroll in Forensics as a class three times. After that, it becomes an extra-curricular ac- tivity, which is how most of the mem- bers are enrolled. They also have meetings from time to time as tourna- ments approach. However, several members of the team have received honors for their efforts. There were nine regular Forensics participants in 1980, and a to- Scott Saving Forensics ileftl Steve Roberts, Rita Dupree, Mi- chelle Humphrey, Beth-Ann Bartels, Richard Hughes.

The most recent honors include three trophies, three certificates of ex- cellence and one certificate of superi- ority-which are comparable to tro- phies. They were won at the Storm Lake, Iowa tournament. The Forensics Society on campus also sponsors the Pony Express High School Tournament every year. Experiencing the French life as well as one can in the United States was the catalyst for activities of the Le Cercle Francais. The group kicked off October with a picnic in Krug Park. 'We conducted our picnic in the traditional French manner, Rosemary Hoffman, the group's adviser, said. uFrench style cheeses, French bread, French wine, and a variety of fruits were served. A Christmas dinner highlighted their December schedule. The recreation room at the El Cid Apartments served as the location, and the group dined on raw oysters, turkey, French green beans, and a traditional French Christ- mas dessert-fuche de Noel, a type of cake. Afterwards, the went caroling, sing- ing to native French men at their homes. These people were located with the cooperation of the French or- ganization here in St. joseph, 1' Alli- ance Francais. Winter also brought a sledding party, with a French cheese fondue afterward. Madame Sonia Malkine, a French folk singer, was presented in concert at the Hearnes Learning Resource Center Little Theatre in March. Madame Malkine sang and accompanied herself with the guitar and la vielle, a type of music box. A dinner followed the con- cert at the Swiss Chalet. Wine and song fa la francaisl made students aware of French culture as members of the organization. - BRYAN DANCER DEBORAH CHAPMAN Organizations!121 Pursuits become realities After somewhat of a shaky start, i'The Griffon '80 staff met its first deadline of 92 pages two months ear- ly, determined to give Missouri West- ern its first 'iAll American yearbook, The shaky start was attributed to several adjustments that were made in order for the staff to function effec- tively. The entire organizational struc- ture had to be reconstructed, eliminat- ing the section editors positions due to a drop in lab enrollment. Therefore, the positions of darkroom and business manager were created. Another problem the editors faced was the large turnover due to gradu- ation and the loss of staff members to the student teaching program. There Bryan Dancer were only five returning staffers, leav- ing many positions open. Perhaps the transition which had the greatest impact on the staff was the ar- rival of Ken Rosenauer. After sharing an advisor with the 'tGriffon News for 12 years, the staff was given its own advisor. A graduate of MWSC, Ken re- turned to his alma mater full of enthusi- asm and ideas, ready to give assistance wherever needed. It was with Ken's guidance that the staff got the ball rolling after a couple of months, on their way to smoothing out the rough spots. Yearbook lab shouldn't be com- pared with any other lab, such as psy- chology or physical education. It is a lab designed to give valuable practical experience in business and journalism. Deborah Chapman, advertising design- er and writer, joined the '80 staff be- cause of her interest in journalistic pro- ductions. l was involved in newspaper during high school, so l also wanted to see another aspect of journalism, commented Deborah. llAlso, the yearbook provided a wide variety of areas in which to get involved, so there is always something for every- one. ln the end, you end up with a yearbook that you can point to with pride and say Nl was a part of that. Not only is practical experience gained, but many special friendships Bryan Dancer are formed. 'll continued to come back because of the increased interest in photography, Craig Drath, photo Edi- tor stated, but I also wanted to con- tinue the friendships l had developed while on the staff. ln some respects, the staff is like a family, celebrating birthdays and shar- ing 'secrets, working as a team to meet deadlines, staying until 4 a.m., re- vising copy, layouts, printing pictures, and then relaxing over breakfast at Weidmaier's Truck Stop. PThe Griffon '80 also played as a team as part of a social get together between the Yearbook and Newspa- per staffs in the first Annual Publication Softball game. The staff swept the UGriffon News off the field in an im- pressive 27-11 win early in the fall. lt took a team effort to produce 'The Griffon '80. After several months of reorganizing and outlining goals, the possibility of an 'All Ameri- can yearbook was finally within grasp. - SHERYL DUFFY The Griffon Yearbook staff fbottom rightj cheer during the homecoming game against Washburn.

Kirk Ar- nold, club president, hopes to shatter that image with a mem- bership drive in the spring and fall of '80, encouraging other journalism students outside of the publications program to join. But Kirk's main concern is the direction in which the club has gone in the past. I'We need to be a more substantial or- ganization. We rarely have guest speakers of programs dur- ing our meetings. We're too social-oriented. I'd like to see us get more involved with campus activities and hold seminars that would benefit the community. Homecoming and Sigma Tau DeIta's National Convention headlined the year's activities. Karen Fleming was Ill Club's Homecoming queen candidate, and Marie Minor was chosen the club's Sweetheart candidate. Member Tracie Hicklin found she had the prettiest legs on campus as she won the pretty legs contest also held during Homecoming week. The club supported its sister organization Sigma Tau Delta with its National Convention held in March. Members pro- vided transportation to and from KCI and assisted in city tours for the visiting delegates. The annual publications banquet, held in the spring, hon- ored those journalism students who had improved and ex- celled during the year. Next year? Kirk responded, j'We'll hold another Communi- cations Day in the spring for area high school students. But I'd like to see an increase in membership and more involvement in the community. We're not just a journalistic society. With 1980 an election year, the political arena became the focal point of the Pre-Law Club. To increase interest in the study of law and political affairs as its purpose, the organization asked local political candi- dates to speak on campus. The organization brought in Buchanan County Prosecuting Attorney Mike lnsco, and planned to send members to a mock United Nations session at Cleveland University. 1 24! Organizations Darrell Riley As with most organizations, the Pre-Law Club was affected by apathy and the need for students to hold down parttime jobs, aside from studies. In an attempt to aid criminal justice majors in job placement and educational areas, Lambda Alpha Epsilon was formed on campus. lill Miller, faculty adviser, said that Rthe faculty and students wanted the organization in order to give majors the association with a national group. It gives the students an op- portunity for information on openings and ideas nationally. The chapter received both national and campus recogni- tion in 1980. According to president David Smith, IIWe want- ed to get involved with campus functions and provide some of our own. We plan to have seminars, speakers and other meetings that will benefit the criminal justice people and the regular college students? Lady bugs, white rats, beetles and mice certainly are not of much interest to the common individual. However, to the members of the Biology Club they are of great importance. Dr. Richard Boutwell, adviser, explained that the club has been in existence for eleven years. 'II enjoy being adviser very much, but I would like to see more students become involved, he said. 'Ilt's looking better, remarked Byron Foster, the president of the club. Byron was very involved in his work and in the field of biology. He is a biology major here. The officers for this year were Foster, Chuck Bruffy, Vice President, Liz Maynard, Secretary, and Sissy Kottman, Treasur- er. The Biology Club sponsors such things as an annual canoe trip to south Missouri, science fairs and a field trip to the Kan- sas City Zoo. lnvestigating creatures through a variety of ways, Biology Club provided interested students out-of-class experience. -SHERYL DUFFY MIKE HOFFMAN DARRELL RILEY IANICE FADDEN i 311322225 's xi 7 Z3 F h Q . , 'F Sig! wi.. .qi .

Led by faculty advisor Mary Drummond and Editor Byron Golden, the staff not only collected facts but looked beyond those facts and into the meaning. The llGriffon News is written by the students and by those outside the campus community. All readers are encouraged to submit letters to the editor. News affecting campus life was reported on all levels. Debbi Ford, managing editor, considered the fol- lowing stories to be the biggest. 'lThe Pinball Machine, P.E. addition, and the Ruffino stories were the big ones. The most important feature was the P.E. addition, because it not only affected the students, but the city as well. l'The Pinball Crisis was a nonsense story, but the most controversial. Both sides were upset about some- thing of little importance. I think the general reaction on campus was- who really cares! Byron Golden agreed with Debi by giving the most controversial award to the Pinball machine article. Byron analyzed, The Pinball Ma- chine story may not have been big, but it was the most controversial. Maybe it shouIdn't have been. But we decided to run it and it drew a lot of attention, especially from peo- ple like Dean Hoff and lane Frick. llThere was a lot more at stake than just losing a pinball ma- chine, Byron said. lllt was a story about a minority trying to tell the majority what to do. The editor named the Ruffino sto- ry as the most important, because it brought up questions concerning teachers' rights and how far stu- dents manipulate the teacher. Ads were of major importance. The St. joseph area-Missouri and Kansas-was divided into seven dis- tricts and while salespersons were out making sales the art designers pasted ads up. This provided funds for the weekly publication. -TROY RUCH S . 6 - N N pf K .. D t f 'sem ' i Griffon News!127 Sigma Tau Delta is an organization interested in uniting students with a common interest in literature. It was founded in 1924 and has been active at Missouri Western since 1974. To be eligible for joining Sigma Tau Delta you must have a strong English background and maintain a 3.0 grade point average. Mrs. Isabel Sparks, facul- ty sponsor explained, 'Sigma Tau Delta is for people who like and appreciate literature. The chapter's plans include recruiting members to to encompass all areas of literary interest. Chapter president Blaine Hipes summed it up: People who are English majors really love the idea that there is a society where they can meet other people to share the same interests, 128!Sigma Tau Delta some of the same ideas, and, in the case of a National Convention, meeting people from all over the United States. The first national convention at Missouri Western, the National Con- vention of Sigma Tau Delta, was held in Spring 1980. lllt's neat to be involved with this convention, and to have a chance to meet national speakers, Charles Gerber said. Featured speakers included film critic ludith Crist, science-fiction novelist Frank Herbert, and poet-critic Robert Bly. ludith Crist, noted for her critiques in the TV Guide, explored the most pop- ular medium-Television. llWe are the first generation to have itself recorded for society, she explained. The evolu- tion of television has followed many different directions. Television as an in- fant followed a totally diverse pattern than it does today. The evolution of full-length movies to television movies was greatly helped by the ability of young filmmakers to go to television and get the money for a film much easier than a movie studio. Crist got interested in being a movie critic because, in her words, uit was a way to get into the movies free. In addition, she said, l'This medium mir- rors our society. She expresses movie reviewing as a conversation between moviegoers. To be a critic for television, Crist ad- vised, 'lSit down by your television with a stack of post cards and show your feelings. We can be that kind of television producer. 'We have to function as speaking people, we have to speak up, Crist concluded. Frank Herbert prophesied, 'Science- Fiction is going to take over the world! In his presentation, Herbert ex- plained all the different aspects of sci- ence fiction, from the effects his writings have on the public to the ideas he gets when he is writing his own sto- ries. You really learn to write by writ- ing, Herbert said. Herbert believes that science fiction ought to be fun and it ought to tell us something about the world tomorrow. Science fiction has predicted all of the major science advances and miracles we enjoy today. Computers are a good example of this. Herbert believes we are going to have a computer in every home in the near future. 'iYou've got to know what people are thinking before you can make them think what you want them to think explains his philosophy in writ- ing. To get an idea across to his read- ers Herbert has to know what they want and what they expect from one of his stories. Herbert expressed his idea of sci- ence fiction as ilstepping off from what we know to what we don't know. Robert Bly spoke on his experiences as a poet 'lwith a soul. ln his first pre- sentation, Bly brought the audience up to join him on the stage, and proceeded to show them the Njawbone of an ass on which to base their writing. First, the participants were asked to simply describe the jawbone as if to to photos by Scott Saving ludith Crist labovej nationally acclaimed tv critic discusses the Oscar nominations with interested students.

Then he instructed them to write about the part of their bodies that was the most like the bone. Finally, he requested that they write on which parent the skeletal structure reminded them of, and why. After this demonstration, Bly told about how this was the type of thing he had to do in order to find one poem out of perhaps one hundred tries. He recited poems by several au- thors, accompanying himself on the dulcimer, a small, stringed instrument.

He men- tioned Frank Herbert as an example of just such a writer, which resulted in many of the delegates to the conven- tion being somewhat offended by Bly's attitude. Because of the obvious different in philosophies between Herbert and Bly, the highlight of the convention was most probably the exchange of the two authors at the reception held by Dr. Marvin Looney in their honor. Con- flict of purpose was the main topic fo the confrontation, with a crowd gath- ering to observe these two minds fight it out. ln the end, since the points were so diverse, it was considered a draw by most of the spectators. In addition to the speakers, tours were given of St. joseph, and a bus was taken to the Folger Library exhibit in Kansas City. Entertainment was pro- vided by the Missouri Western Dance Company and Swing Choir with ac- companiment by the Stage Band.

Organizations Outing Society IRA Pershing Rifles Backpacking, rock climbing, canoe trips and bike hikes were just a few of the activities planned by the Outing So- ciety during the year. The Society, which was formed in November, 1979, has 60 members. llWe're concerned about the environ- ment and try to give people a greater appreciation of the Outdoors, presi- dent Roger Day explains. Not only do the members take part in outdoor ac- tivity, but they also take part in letter- writing to elected officials when there is legislation involving wildlife and for- est preservation. 'lln time, we hope to build member- ship to the point that we can be recog- nized by a prestigious organization, such as the Sierra Club or Friends of the Earth. Then we can be involved in their activities as well, Day empha- sized.

Day ex- plained that the co-op would involve buying the equipment as a club and then sharing it among the members. Activities sponsored by the Society were the day hikes to Bluff Woods, a Kite-flying contest, and the annual Muddy River Classic, a canoe race down the Platte River. Another event was the Winter Olympics, held annually after the first good snow. The newly organized chapter of the International Reading Association is af- filiated with the state, national, and in- ternational organization. The MWSC advisor is Dr. Marion with Mar lean Spicer, President. The club is geared to elementary education majors, especially remedial reading teachers, to promote better reading in schools.

The National Society of Pershing Ri- fles QPXRJ are the people in the funny black hats and the green clothes that one sees on campus. Or at least the clothes seem funny to an outsider. But to a P!R, the wear- ing of the uniform is not funny at all, but rather it reflects pride in the unit, pride in the college, and pride in the United States of America. P!R's have been on this campus for 4 years, but have been nationally rec- ognized for only two. The name comes from General of the Armies, john j. Pershing who as a young lieu- tenant at the University of Nebraska founded the organization to Ufoster a spirit of leadership and promote na- tional pride. Since its inception in 1894 the organization has grown to include over 120 colleges and universities in all fifty states and in Puerto Rico. ln addi- tion to being co-ed, is open to all young men and women regardless of whether they are enrolled in ROTC or merely wish to learn more about the Profession of Arms. Felix Renteria The PKR unit here has been active over the past year in a number of events, including a three-day field exer- cise at Squaw Creek Wildlife refuge, providing aggressors for ROTC field problems, classes on the evolution of military weapons taught in several local high school history classes, and partici- pating in the Walk-a-thon. P!R's have also attended and conducted rappel- ling and land navigation clinics. There is also a social side to being a PXR. The formal 'Dining ln was well received this year, with the guest of honor being the Second ROTC Region Commander, Colonel Archie Bassham. Several informal gatherings were also held this year. St. joseph may never forget the night six men in camouflage fatigues and black berets attended a showing of llApocalypse Now. But P!R's is not all fun and games. lt takes dedication, determination, and a lot of hard work to carry out these ac- tivities. Organizations!133 Hard work pays off for Marching Band Participating in the Golden Griffon Marching Band provides many with a diversion from classes and homework. 'Everyone needs to get away from the everyday hassles of life. For some, it may be taking a vacation and for others just simply taking a walk, but for band students it's their music. uMusic is my favorite means of re- laxation, stated Chuck Harvey, a band student at Missouri Western. Chuck has been in band for almost ten years. Music is a mental discipline and you've got to get your part down as good as possible, Chuck explained. Upon graduation he plans to program computers and play his trumpet as much as possible. Another band student, Carry Adrian, has been playing percussion for eleven years. Carry also teaches percussion here, and explained that he is not in it for the money but rather for the en- joyment. He was awarded a scholar- ship after several years of hard work in Raytown where he first studied music. mln preparation for a half-time show the band spends anywhere from five to twelve hours practicing, Garry re- marked. No band is complete without a flag corp. lt seems to add that special something to the entire band. The flag corp, like the band, spends several hours practicing for their perfor- mances. just like music is a means of relaxation for band members, being in the flag corp is relaxation for the mem- bers involved. Denise Hert remarked, I got a lot out of it. This was Denise's first year with the flag corp. ul enjoy it very much, but I feel we need to be a little more organized. Denise had played the clarinet prior to becoming a flag corp member. She explained the reason she changed to flag corp was because she thought it would be fun and another way she could support Missouri Western. UFlag corp was the only thing l had not been into, stated Vickie Miller, also a first year member of the flag corp. She explained that the flag corp practices by themselves and sometimes 134!Marching Band feel like they are not part of the band, but when performing, they feel very much a part of the band. Relating an unusual experience, she explained that she once ended up wearing blue gloves at a performance instead of the black ones which were required. Vickie continued, 'Being in flag corp can be a very rewarding experience but it re- quires a lot of hard work and some- times can seem like a lot of hard work for nothing, but in the end it's all worth while. Any flag corp member or band member will tell you it's all worth while. The band and flag corp, which per- formed approximately 15 times last year, worked hard, but all that hard work made their performances look easy. That's the mark of professional- ism. - JANICE FADDEN The Golden Griffon Marching Band ftop rightj performs in the annual Homecoming Parade.

UI've always enjoyed being a cheerleader and watching sports. l just wanted to get involved this year, said Kim Hanna of the 1979-80 cheerleading squad. Carey Stiles, male member of the squad, stated, 'I don't feel that I've made any change from being spectator to yell leader. l see myself as aspecta- lm 5K Craig Drath Balance and agility jabovel are two ingredients in the making of a yell leader, as ably shown by Fred Allen supporting Dan Reid. tor who is allowed out on the court or field to try to get not all the crowd-I know that's next to impossible-but at least one person in the stands to clap or add to the cheer. Cheerleaders are considered a team who support llthe team playing on the court or field. The varsity squad consisted of twelve members, sixhgirls and six guys, so each has a partner. The cheerleaders, in a sense, are selcted almost like any other team here on campus. Nora Vigliaturo, who has been cheerleading sponsor for the past two years, explained how the squad is picked. Squads are chosen each year in the springtime by a panel of faculty, ad- ministrators, senior cheerleaders and myself. Each person is graded on a point system from O-5 on gymnastics, dance routine, partner stunts, cheers, jumps and personal appearance. l'Also, when picked, each member is offered a scholarshipffee waiver, Nora continued. This is really consid- ered as paying the cheerleaders for the job they do. To remain on the squad a GPA of 2.0 or higher must be main- tained. For twelve people to get along there needs to be some other authority be- sides that of the sponsor. This is where the captains make their move. The cheerleaders pick a new captain each semester. Captains this year were Kim Hanna serving twice as girls' captain in the summer and fall semesters. Fred Al- len was guys' captain in the summer semester while Dan Reid held that spot in the fall. During the winter semester Michelle Ramirez and leff Green served as captains. Another very important aspect of being cheerleader is attending summer camp. l'Cheerleading camp isn't all fun, jenny Mace commented. 'lThis year all six girls and one guy at- tended the Universal Cheerleading As- sociation Clinic at Memphis State Uni- versity in Memphis, Tennessee. The college paid half and the cheerleaders paid the rest. We were there five days. i jenny said, i'Though we didn't com- Cheerleaders! 135 Creating pete we brought home many new ideas for mounts and how to get the crowd to cheer. Ienny added, IIAII in all, clinic is fun, but also a lot of hard work. You feel muscles ache every day you're there! Fred Allen said, UI think male cheerleaders offer something 'more' to the concept of cheerleading. They add more depth and bring in more people to the crowd. Guys provide a more of an interesting aspect to cheerleading. Tim Houp, another member of the squad, commented on other attitudes taken by persons toward male cheerleaders. l'Guy cheerleaders take a lot of abuse. People think to be a yell that you're probably gay. If I was gay I wouIdn't have those girls wrapped around my head all the time! The concept of cheerleading is often misunderstood. Many individuals think cheerleading is glamorous. Michelle Ramirez another cheerleading member disagreed. 'Cheerleading is absolutely not glamorous. This belief is far from the truth. This year's squad worked hard during the summer. After our first foot- ball game we received negative feedback and we're still receiving it. It's kind of disappointing not to be appre- ciatedf' 'IAs cheerleaders we have jobs to fulfill and each week we're back on Matthew Burns the court or field giving support to our teams and trying to please the specta- tors, she explained. 'Even though cheerleading is hard work, I enjoy it greatly, not for the glamour, but for the personal satisfac- tion and enjoyment of becoming more involved. That's what makes cheerleading worthwhile! Gina Rethemeyer noted, III got to meet new people. I went to many new places, especially Memphis for clinic. I was gone a lot of times especially on weekends and sometimes had no time for my boyfriend. Cheerleading takes a lot of time. Tracie Hicklin commented, 'Il felt like I could cry with the team and jump all around hugging everyone! IIThe bus trip to Missouri Southern was my most memorable experience. It was the Griffons' first loss and every- one took it hard. However, the bus was loaded with fans and they didn't get down on the players. Instead they cheered IWe're still number 1' all the way out of loplin. It was great! Tim Houp said. The world of cheerleading has so much to offer. Illust the idea of getting out there and showing your spirit makes cheerleading a great experience, one of them explained. - THERESA ZAWODNY Alex Russell The 1979-80 Cheerleaders fabovej Kneeling: Mi- chelle Ramirez, Theresa Zawodnyg Standing: Tim Houp, Fred Allen, Bob Fannon, leff Green, Dan Reid, On shoulders: Gina Rethemeyer, lenny Mace, Tracie Hickling Top: Kim Hanna. ' r al1 I Religious groups serve students' needs Being able to share fellowship with a group of people can be a very reward- ing experience, for the members of the Baptist Student Union it's much more for them: it is a way of life, a way to walk and talk with the Lord. Larry Golden, the BSU minister, ex- plained that there were approximately 60 members, but others were wel- comed to attend. Larry explained that there were some 51 different Baptist Student Unions in the state all funded through the Missouri Baptist Associ- ation. lt's not something you have to at- tend, rather a time for Christian fellow- ship, BSU member Randy Simmons stated. He explained that people mis- takenly saw the BSU as a club instead of a place for fellowship. Becky Sanders remarked, 'lt's a big responsibility, but l feel l can use my talents. Becky is ther BSU secretary and the president of this organization is Steve Mayberry. Ava Snook n The BSU offers more than just a place to meet new people. lt also of- fers such things as luncheons, fine arts work, missionary work, singing groups, church services and, most of all, fel- lowship. Members are the life blood of any organization. Outstanding members start organizations and single-handedly keep them going sometimes. Freshman Lori Roberts has been an outstanding member and first president of the Liahona Fellowship, a new organization on campus. Affiliated with The Reorganized Church of jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, the group was started Uto spread Christain love and show that it can be fun , according to Lori. She came to Missouri Western from nor the adult group-l felt caught in the middle, Lori said. An organizational meeting was held in December with assistance from Dean Forest Hoff, the group's sponsor and a member of the church. Many church members were con- tacted and interest grew as the group planned and executed many activities, for being such a new group and so few in members. The group traveled to the Church's campground in Stewartsville the last weekend in March for a retreat with other Liahona Fellowship groups from area colleges and universities. Liahona is on many campuses, Lori emphasised, lllt's very active at Warrensburg fCentral Missouri State Universityjf' Ult was once here at Western-it just didn't get off the ground, she added, 'but it has now. - lANlCE FADDEN MIKE HOFFMAN Alma, Missouri and met other college age church members the first weekend of the semester.

Organizations!137 j G1'gE:1I1iZa'tiOI1S Student Nursing Association j Christian Campus House Newman Club There are many basic needs in life which all seek to satisfy. A close shar- ing, fellowship, is just one of their needs. Several students have fulfilled that desire at the Christian Campus House. Through the ministry, college stu- dents can get to know us here and see that Christianity is not just going to church every Sunday. A person must live his Christianity, not act it. We're here to make a point-that people be- lieve in God, judy Ireland comment- ed. l've really formed some close rela- tionships from having lived here at the House and coming to the meetings. You. get so close to people. By coming to the House, l found it offers Christian fellowship l can't find anywhere else, said Nina Lewis, English major. The Christian Campus House has existed on the MWSC campus for about five and a half years. At first we were located where the Passport bookstore is. We've been at our present location, 1503 Weisenborn, for three and a half years, stated john Martin, campus minister. Presently the house has six young ladies who live here. In all, we have the potential for accomodating four- teen persons. We welcome any stu- dent. The house isn't really connected with any particular church, though we receive financial support from the Cen- tral Christian Church. Martin added. False impressions often cause per- sons to tend to shy away from reli- gious organizations such as the Chris- tian Campus House. Many do not realize what the House has to offer. Carol Reik, a freshman from Eldon, Missouri, explained what the House had to offer her. I love it here because of all the people. lt's the very fact that they're always here when you need them. Not only does the Christian Campus House serve as a means of companion- ship, but it has other services, too. 'ilt was good to see if l could make it without my family. It gave me a chance to be independent from my family and also gain a certain responsibility, Nina Lewis said. jeanne Clampitt related, l'Here you 138! Organizations can move away from home, and feel that you're not really away because at the Christian Campus House, we're like one big family. 'iWe are not a substitute for a work- shop service. What basically goes on here is a body ministry on an informal basis. Our relationship is not with God, but with His Son, john Martin suggest- ed. llOur two meeting nights are Tues- day and Thursday. On Tuesday we have Bible study and sing songs. We usually leave Thursday open for discus- sion groups. Throughout the year we also at- tend four retreats. These activities are usually informal, Martin explained. Not only is the Christian Campus House open to college students, but also to many other persons not related with the college. 'From being an outsider l look at the House as one big happy family. lt brings Christianity close to the heart. The people are closer, a little happier and you can see it in their faces. The Christian House is spiritually beneficial, Rob Blessing, owner of Rob's Gun Cabinet, explained. Rhonda johnson said, liAfter the hustle and bustle of a job you can come here for a spiritual uplift. A con- tact with a deep, not false, love is ex- perienced. We're a light in a dark world. lt's neat to see that we all come from different backgrounds. We come here for a common purpose. johnson teaches students who have learning disabilities at Lafayette High School. Within the past five years the Chris- tian Campus House has undergone some changes. With physical changes the campus ministry has had a turn over in people. The ministry has been effected by moving of location, we aren't right across campus anymore, our garage has been made into a men's dorm. UThe major change has come through people knowing about the house, whether they are from MWSC or not, commented Rick Cole, Campus House member, who has been with the House since it started. Wayne Underwood summed up Christian Campus House's main pur- pose. Underwood concluded, There's the chance of getting to know a lot of new people. lt's nice to know that someone else has the same problems as l do. We come together for a com- mon goal. With the trend toward departmental organizations, the recognition of the Student Nursing Association provided nursing students to associate outside of the classroom. 'The group was started to promote professionalism in student nursing, re- lated Mrs. Cordelia Esry, Nursing De- partment Chairman. judy Glasgow, president of the orga- nization stated that one of their goals was to get voting delegates at state level and to have a voice at national level. The rationale for this was to urge their national organization to petition the United States Congress about its plan to eliminate two and three year nursing degrees. Many students would be effected if the cut is approved by the govern- ment. The programs offered through Methodist Medical Center Medical Center and Western are predominantly made up of students in this type of de- gree. The Student Nursing Association started its first year in the midst of a controversy, with students interest up, it was a prime time to organize the group. There is much celebration when members of the Newman Club get to- gether. As a matter of fact, there is a celebration held every week! The weekly celebration is the Sun- day Mass, an offering of praise and thanks. The Newman Club is the Catholic group on campus, and heartily welcomes any student, faculty, staff, administrator, or citizen from within the college community to join in the club's many activities of a spiritual ser- vice, and social nature. Members of the Newman Club found numerous occasions to cele- brate, The highlight was undoubtedly the pilgrimage to Des Moines to wit- ness the visit of Pope john Paul ll. The Lenten season was honored by a day of retreat and diversion at Conception Abbey. An outdoor Mass and picnic at Krug Park was the kick-off event for the year. An all-school skating party was sponsored in November. This was the year of baptisms, which marked special days in honor of loe and Nora Vigliaturo's baby daughter, as well as Dr. Frank and Mary Kessler's newborn son and the infant son of Mike and lanice Mayer. Newman sup- port of Homecoming was seen in the creation of a spirit banner which read, 'lThe lchabods Don't Stand a HOLY GHOST of a Chance. Constituting the mainstay of the Newman Club is the chaplain, Father Matthew Burns Scott Saving sl. l 4 Craig Drath Xavier Nacke, O.S.B. and faculty advi- sor, Dr. Frank Kessler, who have diligently guided the group. With the support of several concerned students, the club held its first money-making project this year and collected a large amount of clothing to be sent to mis- sions in Kentucky. The Newman Club does more than just celebrate, yet every function of the group is one of sharing with others and showing joy-and isn't that what a celebration really is? The Fellowship of Christian Athletes tF.C.A.j is a nondenominational Chris- tian organization for athletes. F.C.A.'s goal is to provide a Christian atmosphere to others with the com- mon bond of athletics. 'Basically we're a Christian support group, said Larry Golden, who is helping to guide the group. Right now we went defunct during Christmas break. He added, llWe're starting out with just Bible studies at 9 Tuesday nights this semes- ter and then we're sponsoring a kick off party for the fall semester. 'lOne of our main objectives is to reach out to other non-Christians and help them grow spiritually, he con- cluded. The basic membership requirement is that one comes to the Bible studies and just becomes a part of the organi- zation, which, according to Larry, is easy because there are no dues for F.C.A. as of now. - DON KOEHNLEIN - NANCY LAMAR Christian Campus House ttop, front rowj Dr. Ruth Galloway, sponsor, lanice Galloway, Nina Lewis, Linda McClintock, Wanda Boydston, and Carol Reik. tBack rowj David Dean, Wayne Underwood, David Doley, lohn Martin and Mor- ris Ball.

Organizations!139 Grganizations ISO KAP Circle K X Photos by Ava Snook 14OfOrga W In a world of division and friction, the International Students Club brings together men and women to meet, make friends, and learn about other places in the world. With students from over ten different countries, their meetings are truly international. PAII the students enjoy being here, they feel comfortable at Missouri Western, said President Sunday Owaru, but they need friends. Stu- dents from other countries are the most lonely of all students because they leave their homes and friends. Davood and Nasser Memarian are brothers from Iran, they seemed most impressed with the staff. When we want help they give it. The people are enjoyable, I am happy that I am study- ing here. Davood also liked the way Ilinstruc- tors cooperate in helping work out the class and solving problems. It seems the American students that are involved with the club gain new in- sight into their own culture. Linda Schaefer has been able iito look at life differently. I have a new understanding of my culture and country because of the questions they ask. I encourage any American student wanting to learn of other countries to do so from the peo-' ple from the television news. Dorothy Mirian, the faculty adviser of this international group, really enjoys the challenge it provides. 'This job has opened new worlds because I get to know them as people and individuals. They are so different in person and the nicest group to work with and for. Some of the jobs she has had to un- dertake this last year was freeing fro- zen funds for the Iranian students. She also attended a clinic on foreign law, helped the students schedule classes and obtain work permits. Owaru seemed to sum up the feel- ings of the whole group when he said, I'We learn about countries here. It is a great opportunity to compare and un- derstand, and that is a great thing. After six years of organization a chapter of Kappa Delta Pi, a national honorary education fraternity, has been established here. Dr. Donald Mahaffey, the person instrumental in establishing the chapter, explained how the organization was brought here. I'When I came to Missouri Western I thought the chapter was needed. The first step was getting NCATE recogni- tion, he said. NCATE is the National Council for Acceditation of Teacher Education. After receiving accreditation, Mahaffey continued, 'I then contacted the national organization. We then es- tablished the chapter this past Octo- ber. . Although it is a young organization, Kappa Delta Pi has some very long range goals. Establishing a clearing- house for teachers and turors and pro- viding a scholarship to a student in the education field are just a few of those goals. With the backing of the St. joseph Kiwanis, the Circle K Club was rechartered on campus. The club is chartered through the Kiwanis International. The organization sets a theme for the different chapters to follow, the most recent was Shar- ing Life's Magic with an emphasis on children. Warren Chelline and Russell Maag advise the group whose purpose it is to serve the campus and community. The group gets involved with such agencies as the children's homes and nursing homes. They hold birthday par- ties every month for the senior citizens at the Green Acres Home., The Circle K's immediate goal is to build their membership and get revital- ized in order to pick up where they left off and be able to serve the com- munity better. Among their future plans they hope to work with the VIS- TA program in their neighborhood clean-up campaign.

Structure is an important part of any organization. This year the structures of the Student Government Associ- ation QSGAJ and the College Center Board have been under close scrutiny. The Senate is the legislative branch of the SCA. Its duties, as the main vo- ting body of the SGA, are to approve the yearly , budget, ratify ammendments, by-laws, policies and resolutions to the constitution, and offi- cially recognize campus clubs and or- ganizations. The College Center Board fCCBj is directly responsible for providing en- tertainment for the college students. The Blue Ribbon Committee, headed by Mike Hoffman, was organized to in- vestigate the operations, finances, and efficiency of all aspects of the SGA, which include the Senate, CCB, and its other divisions. The committee studies the SGA's structure, then formulated several suggestions for improvement. A debate was scheduled for mid- February to discuss the proposed changes and their possible effects. The meeting was open to the entire campus, but only about 20 people at- tended, most of them already a part of the SGA or CCB. One of the major proposals was to eliminate the position of the CCB presi- dent, held by Gary McGuire, and have the SGA vice president preside over the CCB meetings in order to improve communications between the two groups. McGuire stated at the debate, 'l'm glad we're having this meeting. l don't want anyone to think . . . that l consid- er this a personal attack on myself, but I do not think that there is anything to be gained by disbanding or creating new positions. Another proposal was to elect peo- ple instead of appointing them to many of the- positions such as the SGA secre- tary and the members of the CCB. Only five of the members of this group are currently elected, with the remain- ing five being appointed. ln addition to structural weaknesses, apathy seems to be a problem of stu- dent government. Too few people elect to run for the various offices, and voter turnout is often very poor. One solution might be the addition of more Senate members, possibly to represent every recognized organiza- tion on campus. Fortunately, however, not all aspects of the SGA have been negative. The Senate has officially recognized a total of ten organizations-Liahona Fellowship, the Track Club, Kappa Del- ta Pi, Circle K Club, Phi Sigma Epsilon and their Little Sisters, the Student Reading Council, the Missouri State Teachers Association, and the Dance Company. The trend seems to be to- ward more departmentalized clubs. In addition, the Senate changed one policy in particular, allowing each rec- ognized organization four money-mak- ing projects per semester instead of two. They also sponsored buses to away games, published the Student Directo- ries, and changed election voting times to 8 a.m.-2 p.m. and 4:30-6:30 p.m. for two consecutive days. Controlling 70 percent of the SGA budget, the CCB has brought to the campus such acts as Willie Tyler and Lester, Paul Gerni, a trick-shot pool player, and Tom lohnston in concert. The CCB is also in charge of all dances and works in conjunction with the Sen- ate during the various queen elections. Hopefully, enough people in the near future will take a concerned inter- est in the Student Government of the college before the entire system is dis- banded due to a lack of interest. - DEBORAH CHAPMAN Ava Snook Alex Russell Work fleftj is intense at an SGA meeting.

Chan Kyu Yu, judo Club adviser said that The club has no way to grow. The school charges a S200-a-day fee on the gym, and we really can't afford that kind of price. This of course turns down any chance for a tournament, and without tourna- ments, there is no chance for the judo Club to grow. Also without tourneys we can't invite other colleges and high school judo clubs to exhibitions, and this in turn inhibits club growth. lf we were able to afford the fee on the gym we could have tourneys two or three times a year and invite other schools, that way judo clubs in St. joseph would begin to grow on a small-scale basis. We still have all the equipment, said Dan Dire, president, l'But we're just at a standstill because of our lack of funds. When we get more funds, the club will definitely change a lot! Presently the judo Club works on campus Wednesday and Saturday nights and practice at l'Yu's Martial Arts Academy in St. joseph on Tuesday and Thursday nights. 'Hopefully in the future the club will be financially fit enough to host a Missouri Valley Championship tournament or two. That way we can get good exposure and it is a good chance for club members to show their talent, Yu stated. Athletes have to put up with tough schedules, cramming practices into each day with classes. That doesn't leave much spare time for socializing. lt is the goal of the Western Athletic Association QWAAJ, however, to provide a chance for athletes to get together and have a good time. . 'Anyone out for a sport is automatically eligible for the club, Lorie Beck, WAA president, explained. i'Men are al- lowed to join, but the only members we have now are wom- en. The organization raises funds for the sole purpose of fi- nancing various activities. By running the concession stand during men's and women's basketball games and selling can- dy, the group raised money for a Halloween party, a pizza party, and a racquetball party. The group has no set meetings, but get together when necessary in order to plan activities throughout the year. A council is chosen at the end of every year from which the officers are elected. Debbie Bumpus and Rhesa Sumrell are the advisors of the group. Students enrolled in the elementary and secondary educa- tion program are eligible to join the Student Missouri State Teachers' Association, a student affilate of the Missouri State Teachers' Association. This organization gives students a chance to grow in the field of education and a chance to get some experience in the field as well. nThe members feel like they belong and they are a part of an important organization, stated Mr. Ferrel Kump, advisor of the organization. At the present time, approximately forty members belong to the S.M.S.T.A.p however new members are being accepted every day explained Mr. Kump. The activities of this organization included a leadership meeting in Tan-Tar-a and a dinner meeting which included a guest speaker.

Pam was elected president for the first time this fall after becoming active in this organization. ul encourage all student teachers to become active so they will know what it is like to be a part of a professional organi- zation, Pam remarked. Through the help of this organization many students have gained not only knowledge but experience as well. The field of education has definitely become' an important field espe- cially for the members involved in this organization. -MIKE BUSHNELL DEBOARH CHAPMAN IANICE FADDEN N.

L Housing nine men, the structure provided a focal point for fraternity activities that it had not had in over three years. It sits on ten acres, approximately two acres by five acres and stretches from Mitchell Avenue to U.S. 36. Living in the house does have its peculiarities. One resident explained that often one particular breaker would flip and one-third of the house would go dark. Some of the rooms 146!Lambda Chi Alpha Don Koehnlein lack sufficient heating, some are constantly too warm. The humidifier has leaked once causing the basement room to be near flood stage. The biggest undertakings since acquiring the house has been the installation of new laterals off the septic tank and the graveling of the parking lot. Both were accomplished with the help of Lambda Chi Scott Sprague and Sprague Excavat- ing. Their national theme 'Lambda Chi Alpha Lends a Hand was exemplified through their semesterly bloodmobile, their involvement with the Noyes Home and their work'for other various philanthropic organizations. Socially, Lambda Chi Alpha was among top organizations with their all school Beef and Beer Bust, at which over 300 'students consumed 256 gallons of beer, and 1000 hambur- gers. Various parties provided the fraternity with an active so- cial life which was highlighted by their White Rose Ball on May 17. There are as many reasons for joining as there are mem- bers. Freshman leff Hoffman said, I wanted to go to school and do more than just to go classes. Mark Roth wanted 'to find out what fraternity life was like. I knew some of the members and liked to be around them. Both must have found what they wanted, they were both initiated on No- vember 30 with five others. Old-timer Don Koehnlein ex- plained, 'I felt welcome, they showed me brotherhood. But what is it like belonging to such a fraternal order? Mark Antle, second semester president related, 'lBeIonging requires responsibility and consideration to others. It means keeping the house in order, serving on committees or chairing a com- mittee. It means sharing the good times, like parties and shar- ing grief during bad times. It's brotherhood. The chapter sent twenty-four of its near forty members to its Regional Conclave in March at the University of Kansas. The conclave provided leadership and officer training . . . and a party with thirteen sororities on the KU campus, lim Lindsay reported. The chapter won the 'lMan-Miles award and missed hosting Conclave in 1981 by two votes to Kansas State University. In August, the chapter sent a delegate and several others to their General Assembly held at the Denver Marriott Hotel. Be- sides constitutional changes and resolutions, it gives the chap- ter an opportunity to meet and exchange ideas with Lambda Chi's from all over the United States and Canada. The Crescent Club-the Lambda Chi Alpha Little Sisters- aided the chapter in various porjects, including cleaning the house, fixing munchies, and throwing a disco for the chapter. They also contributed fifty dollars to the furniture fund. The good attitude of the Crescent Club may stem from the fact that over half of the women date either active Lambda Chi's or alumni lon a regular basisj. One Little sister is even en- gaged to the president. The organization seems to get things done. The house has been filled to capacity both semester, a problem that con- cerned the chapter before the purchase.. The chapter anxiously awaits expansion to the house by the Chapter's Housing Corporation. The house can support nine or ten men with one bath and one shower room.

During the first semester Phi Sigs made them- selves quite well known at the football games by winning the spirit awards and quickly leading in the Most Active Group on Campus Contest, President Kurt Killen said, llWe just tried to get the whole campus involved in what we did at the games. Homecoming Week was extra spe- cial for the Phi Sigs and their Little Sis- ters. The last half of their float was put together with the aid of about five 16- gallon kegs of Coors and a lot of hard work. The group also managed to keep active in all the daytime activities. Saturday, Homecoming Day, the nine weeks of work and planning, not to mention the some twenty five cases of beer consumed, had finally paid off. The Phi Sigs took first place in the float competition and second place in the decorated car competition. And to top it all off they won the Most Active Or- ganization during Homecoming Week. After almost three months of plan- ning, calling and diligent work on rush, the Sigma Tau colony of Phi Sigma Epsilon was chartered and 35 men are now permanent members of Phi Sigma Epsilon National Fraternity, Inc. lllt looks as though we are here to stay, Vice President Frank McCall said, 'land we are going to do our best to try to set the pace, because we would like to see all the Greeks active on campus.

Phi Sigsf149 TKE,Sig Ep Greeks hold on, fight back Fraternities have long been a part of college activities. The word 'fraternity often connotes the image of a bunch of rowdy young men who like to stage wild parties and get involved in all types of mischief. However, there is another side to fraternity life. A serious or down-to-business attitude must exist in order for a fraternity to survive both financially and structurally. Sigma Phi Epsilon, one of the four fraternities on campus, found itself in serious trouble during the fall semester due to mismanagement. The successful reestablishment of this organization took place during the spring semester after their regional director came to St. Ioseph to get the local chapter back on track. lack Bidding, president, related, We were really floundering during the fall semester. Many of our officers were having grade problems and were neglecting their duties to the fraternity. I had some experience with the frater- nity at the University of Missouri and the regional director asked me to take TKE's ftopl Front row: Doug Kieffer, Ben Weaks, lim Hoene, Tom Healdg Back row: Chris Schultz, Mark Lang, Don Wyman, Doug Hoskins, leff Beyer, Tom Glidewell, Patrick Gilmore.

Sigma Phi Epsilon concentrated most of their efforts during the spring se- mester on the building of their man- power. After the fall semester their membership was cut to 17 men. How- ever, weekly rush activities during the spring brought a lot of new faces into the fraternity. Ken Wachendorfer, a spring initiate, said, ul had been associated with the group for a long time. After the reor- ganization I felt I could fit into the group better. My skills and talents could be put to use for the benefit of the fraternity. Aside from the reorganization of the fraternity, there were several other events that highlighted the Sig Eps' year. The organization designed and sold stadium cushions during the foot- ball season. They held their annual spring banquet during the last week in April. The Sig Eps ended the spring se- mester with their annual canoe trip. The future for the Sigma Phi Epsilon, according to members, certainly looks a lot brighter due to their reorganiza- tion. We have some definite goals planned, lack Bidding stated. llBy the end of the semester we should have 24 members. If we meet this goal then we'll have a fraternity house by the first of August. Tau Kappa Epsilon Fraternity, better known as the TKE's fpronounced Teeks l, were on-the-to last year. Members attended their Conclave in French Lick, Indiana and sent five re- presentatives to the National Confer- ence in Houston last February. Those activities gave members more ideas on how to improve fraternity life. Active member, Don Weimann ex- plained, 'We are helping and giving ourselves to the fraternity to expand it and better it. Projects to help the community and charities also received large amounts of time and effort. Early last Fall the TKE's participated in the March of Dimes drive and last Spring supported the Multiple Schlerosis and Muscular Dys- trophy causes. The fraternity was also involved in Intramurals and the Home- coming Week activities. The Spring for- mal dinner and dance, the Red Carna- tion Ball, was held at the Swiss Chalet. The fraternity was not just centered on activities, with an average GPA. of 2.0, scholastic achievement was a ma- jor concern. Ben Weaks, secretary, re- lated, 'The fraternity gives moral sup- port to get through school. Plans for the future include expand- ing the fraternity's numbers and re- modeling the fraternity house. Fraternity is working and sharing. TKE President Pat Gilmore expressed his opinion of fraternity life by saying, l'You meet people and make friends in the fraternity . . . you benefit by it through your college life. - BRYAN DANCER SCOTT CHANCE Ava Snook Sig Eps tleftj front row-: Bill Titcomb, Mike Mayo, Paul Hoffelmeyer, Dan Heckmang Middle row: lohn Morton, Pete Newbolt, lack Bidding, lack Swarengin, Terry Selter, lohn Anderson, Back row: james Hausman, Allen Powell, Ken Wachendorfer.

'lBelonging to Phi Mu has been a very important part of my college life. It has given me the opportunity to meet people and help others, Cyndi Burkett suggested. Shelley Beam, a new initiate, related that her involvement in Phi Mu has given her the opportunity to uget involved in col- lege and doing things with other groups. Rene McCreary serves as pledge director. She remarked, ul feel as MWSC grows that the Greek system will grow with it. Nationally Phi Mu is a strong organization and our chapter lives up to the standards and goals that they strive for. The Phi Mu's celebrated their tenth anniversary at their an- nual Founders Day Dinner on March 2. Delta Zeta numbers pared Graduation and students quitting school have taken their toll on the membership of Delta Zeta. The Kappa Nu chapter ended the year with three active members. But these three members have no intention of letting their sorority die. 'There's too much at stake to let it die now, Natalie Thompson, president, said. Delta Zeta has been active in several campus activities. Some of them were carving jack-o-lanterns for the fraternities at Halloween, Homecoming and Sweetheart activities, in- volvement in Multiple Sclerosis week, and bake sales. Therefore, the Delta Zetas are still putting up a fight to stay together, for as Thompson said, nThere's nowhere to go but ll up. Delta Zeta fbelowl: Leann Elder, Becky Orr, Natalie Thompson.

The Conference was held March 21-23 at the University of Kansas. The conference was a leadership workshop with over 120 Lambda Chi's attending from an eight state region.

Although Humphrey just missed breaking into finals by a few points at the national tournament, she received many excellent and superior ratings from several judges. She had quite a lot of competition, as there were re- presentatives from many large universitites such as Harvard and Yale. College awards 100,000th visitor Someone in a group of eighth grade students from Albany, Missouri, was the 100,000th visitor to the Planetar- ium. 4 But rather then trying to figure out exactly who that person was, the en- tire class was presented with an award plaque by President M.O. Looney on April 16. The Planetarium, located in Agenstein Hall, opened in November 1969, according to Russell Maag, whose records indicate the 100,000th visitor was smong the Albany group.

The purpose of the project was twofold: it was an opportunity for em- ployers to contact many prospects in a brief span of time, and it was an op- portunity for graduates to look at sev- eral different alternatives. William Kuechler, director of Place- ment and Off Campus services said, 'lt was beneficial to both the employers and our graduates. Workshop Cancelled A Leadership Workshop, scheduled for April 23, was cancelled due to a lack of interest. Planned by the Student Government Association in conjunction with the Stu- dent Affairs Division, the seminar re- ceived no response from area high schools and was forced to cancel, ac- cording to Steve Mayberry, SGA presi- dent. The all day seminar was to train high school students in leadership positions with discussions on Group Manage- ment, Leadership Skills, Communica- tions, Motivation Techniques, and How to Choose a College. College officials hope to plan an- other one in the fall which may result in a better response from the schools. not being given the opportunity to par- ticipate in the productions given by the department. For instance, in the pro- duction of H6 Rms Riv Vu, half of the parts were played by either faculty or people brought in by the faculty. This included the two major roles of a basi- cally two-person play. lt was the contention of the Guild that the plays being chosen were not being picked with the students in mind. It was also felt that learning by doing is a more effective way to learn than 'llearning by watching, as they were being forced to do. Since this had been a consistent problem for several years, the Guild decided to air their grievances to the faculty members. lt was then decided that out of the three plays given every year, one would be chosen for the benefit of the students, and cast with only students. Even though the problem of casting plays with other than student actors re- mains, the Theater Department is now on its way to being more of a learning experience 'for the students involved. Lambda Chi lpha captures 'Most Active' Mark Antle, president of the Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity was presented with the trophy for the 'lMost Active Organization Contest in May at the chapter house. With a total of 450 points, the frater- nity defeated the Baptist Student Union with 305 points and Phi Sigma Epsilon with 300 points. 'The BSU was our toughest compe- tition. They have over 100 members, Antle related. Although no organization would say that they were less active than in years before, the point totals were about 1000 less than last year. 'lApparently everyone was less ac- tive, although the year was not any less hectic, Antle added. Antle's opinion was that there was not always someone to turn them in to at the SGA office. Steve Mayberry SGA President stat- ed, 'I would expect more points- a lot of times organizations would not turn them in on time. Antle further surmised that the reason the fraternity won the contest was the fraternity members 'lwant to be involved and active. The fraternity has won the contest two years in a row and three times in the last four years. l Potpourri! 157 A f f--f fff ,,,, ,,,, , f --- --' 1 -3 ffi'1i'i'i ' 5 ll-- --': '- '-2 ?3?l5?l55'?

At work as Director of Off-Campus Part-time Em- ployment Referrals he is one of the busiest and best-liked per- sons on campus. At play in his part-time job he is a member of the band called l'Salt and Pepper. In Hernandez's job at MWSC his main function is to find part-time jobs for students. 'Creating better jobs is what I spend my time on, he said. Hernandez has worked at MWSC for two-and-a-half years. A native of St. joseph, Hernandez graduated in 1971 in MWSC's first graduating class with a degree in Business Mar- keting. He began in the business office here and moved to the fi- nancial aids office, where he worked with loans, scholarships and law enforcement. Since March, 1979 he has been the off-campus job development director. T UA lot more students are coming in all the time. The only eligibility is that the person seeking a job must be a student at the college, he said. 'lOtherwise, I would be getting jobs for students in other colleges and people in the community. Types of jobs created by his office are retail sales, recep- tionist, auto mechanic, day care, tutoring, and others. Two days a week Hernandez spends time making contacts with firms such as American Family, Carnation Can and oth- ers. 'lThere is no charge to students or employers. Employers seem to respond very well to it, he said. Students, too, seem to be responding well, according to their comments. An accounting major, lim Birnbaum, said, l'l'm impressed that the school has such a program. Birnbaum, who works part-time as an engineer trainee at H.D. Lee, added, l'I'm impressed with the job Hernandez does, he tried to keep me informed and he was interested in me. Dorm student Diane Hutson feels Hernandez's job is very important. She said, 'tHe helped me get a job at l.C. Penney. l probably wouldn't have gotten it otherwise. He's warm and friendly and helps students. Student janet Spellmeir said, 'He listens and takes time, while Debbie Mueller added, 'He works hard and keeps in close contact with the students. He's friendly and easy to get along with. Ringing telephones and radio music accentuate the friendli- ness of Hernandez that students talk about. Music can always be heard in his MWSC office. llMusic is my big thing, said Hernandez, who comes from a family of eleven. 'll spend time on it on weekends and practice during the week. l do the booking for Salt and Pep- per. Hernandez plays the drum and sings with two others in the band. The seven-piece group, together about seven years, travels in a 15-passenger van to such places as Omaha, Kan- sas City, Topeka, Springfield, and Falls City. llWe wear tuxes and play at a lot of country clubs, private clubs and conventions. We have played at the Eagles here, the Moose in Topeka and Benedictine College in Atchison, Hernandez noted. l'When l was in school, this was the way l paid my way. I spent 15-20 hours a week working in the business office, too. Hernandez has been the drummer in bands for eleven years. He was part of the original Barbosas, a well-known band in and around St. joseph. llThree out of seven from the original Barbosas are part of the Salt and Pepper' group. We picked the name lSalt and Pepper' because it was simple and easy to remember. The popular band played 57 times last year. Already the group has been booked 46 times this year. llWe get lots of requests for repeat performances, said Hernandez, who considers his part-time job more a hobby than a job. fr - PAT BENNETT -Up Close Faculty X165 Up Close Cross Country bike trip made b two instructors How well do a retired male professor and a young female librarian get along on a 4400 mile bike trip which lasts for two months? Very well, it seems, in the case of Dr. Leo Galloway and Elaine lurries, who began their trip across the United States on May 21, 1979. lurries, reference librarian at MWSC, had the idea. I had wanted to do some- thing like this about three years ago, but was unable to do so at the time. I had been bike riding for about six or seven years, and therefore had read a lot of maga- zines on the subject. She then approached Dr. Leo Galloway, retired Biology professor who had re- cently taken up bike riding, with the idea of going on a route established during the Bicentennial - - the Bikecentennial Trail. To her surprise, Dr. Galloway accepted. I wasn't averse to the idea at aII, Dr. Galloway said. Here was the opportunity to do something unusual, The next step was getting ready for the trip. A lot of their preparation was get- ting into shape for the ride, Mrs. Galloway recalls. 'lThey both exercised by riding bicycles for given distances, and Elaine was already into jogging. Their main problem, however, was space. 'IAII we packed were the barest essentials, and we made double use of some supplies whenever we could, Elaine explained. l'For example, I had a down jacket that I wore when it was cold, then used as a pillow at night. She went on to say that Dr. Galloway ended up carrying a 45 pound load on his bicycle while she car- ried about 35 pounds on hers. The two did not always camp outdoors during the trip, however. 'IA couple of times we stayed in hostels, which are places run by a family or group especially for bikers. These provide a place to stay overnight and sometimes a meal for a very reasonable price, lurries related. l'And all the people we met were very friendly, especially other bikers. We did find, however, that people were more receptive to single bikers than those who traveled with partners or in groups. The trail, which extends from Astoria, Oregon, to Yorktown, Virginia, follows sce- nic roads through many historical areas. Mrs. Galloway drove the pair to Oregon where they began their trip. She stayed three days, before leaving them to get un- derway. We would go for long stretches before we would meet anyone on some of the roads that we traveled, Dr. Calloway stated. lt was nice to finally come upon oth- er bikers. We would stop and compare notes. Sometimes it would be miles before the bikers would even come upon any houses. Money was no big problem, they had enough for emergencies, additional food supplies, and laundry. 'lWe would go with the clothes we had for as long as possi- ble, and then do a load or two when we stopped in a town, lurries said. Dr. Galloway was impressed with the great weather along the way, Sixty-six days on the road, and most of the time we had beautiful weather. There were only a few exceptions-cold and dampness in the East, and snow in Colorado. It also rained once in awhile. Dr. Galloway especially made note of the scenery. One of my favorite sites was the Cascades around the Sisters, Oregon area, not to mention the Salmon River. These places were really beautiful. Would the two do it again? llDefinitely, said lurries. llBut l'd like to do it when we have more time, so we can stop and see more things along the way. And Dr. Galloway? Yes, I would like to go again, as long as someone will go with me. - DEBORAH CHAPMAN Photos by Dr. Ruth Galloway I66fFacuIty 5-Ng, viii ,png 'Wy X Glen johnson Ferrell Kurnp Larry Lambing Michael Magoon Marvin Marion George Matthews Henry Pilgram Thomas Price Tom Rachow Don Robbins Dennis Rogers Kenneth Rosenauer John Rushin Frank Thomas Virendra Varma FaCultyf167 Up Close Woman fulfills modern role t'l'm a mother, manage the house, study, read, and go to school.

Remedial reading could even be called a second field, because the qualifications aren't actually that much different than that of a full ma- jor she commented. In my spare time, which I don't have much of any more, I like to sew. I like to read also. Not only do I enjoy what I read, but also learn from the structure of the writing too, Stella Stated.

But for Prema Rama Krishnan, a student from India, it has been the basis for her life in the United States, as she attends classes here. 'One of the hardest things for me to adjust to was food. I am a vegetarian, and in India we eat a much larger vari- ety of vegetables than people do in the United States, Prema explained. Her husband has had to start changing the way he eats somewhat, due to his social contacts through his business. Another noticable change was the climate. It is always much warmer in India, and the only snow is in the mountains of northern India, she said. One of the more obvious differ- ences is the people. She commented, 'IAmerican people are more indepen- dent, and at a much earlier age. She went on to say that Indian people will support their children all the way through college, paying for everything. Although times have changed some- what, most Indian women do not have careers, but usually get married. Prema, who has a teaching degree from the University of India, found that her cre- dentials would not be acceptable to teach here in the U.S. The family unit also prevails in India, and they seem to have more respect for their parents, according to Prema. Indian children are taught very early that their parents are wiser, being older, and that their judgement should be respected. People have commented on Prema's mode of dress, which is a full-length sari, the traditional attire of Indian women. I am proud to be Indian, she stated, and this is what I have been taught as the correct way to dress. Although my husband has cho- sen to adopt American clothing, I have decided to keep the dress I am used to and more comfortable with.

However, dorm resident Cornelia Ranes shatters this image. Cornelia is a middle-aged mother of four and a grandmother. A native of lamesport, Mo., Cornelia chose to come back to college to pur- sue a degree in secondary education with an emphasis in English after a long absence. She explained, III like young people and having substitute taught at lamesport and country schools, I thought I'd like. to come back to school. My husband hasn't been well, and the doctor said he may have to quit working. So I thought I'd come back and complete my degree. Cornelia had first attended Maryville, earning twenty-two credit hours in the summers of '46 and '47. After attend- ing college, she then married and had her family. Before deciding to come to Missouri Western, Cornelia had com- muted to Trenton junior College for three semesters. Cornelia's stay here at the dorms has been pleasant and satisfying. Her being a middle-aged mother of four has not created any barriers between her and the teachers and the students. l'The teaching staff has been very helpful and supportive. I'm just a stu- dent and it doesn't make any differ- ence. l've also made many friends here at Missouri Western, and two of my closest friends will join me in my stu- dent teaching in Chillicothe, Cornelia related. Not too many people are accus- tomed to the idea of an older adult liv- ing in the dorms, but that didn't bother Cornelia, for she found dorm living very convenient. llLiving in the dorms has left me more time for studying and has cut expenses. Cornelia also laughs at one humerous situation she's experienced at the dorms. Ill learned I was accept- ed at the dorms when one Sunday evening after I had returned from home, I found my bed had been short sheetedf' Spending most of her time studying, Don Koehnlein Cornelia doesn't have much time for other activities. The little free time she does have Cornelia spends reading. Cornelia commented on her favorite author: 'This may sound strange, but I like Edgar Allen Poe and his writing. His style of writing leads people into heavy thinking. There have been mixed reactions concerning CorneIia's unique situation. Her most cherished reaction is that of her family: 'lAt first they had their doubts, but now they are proud of my coming back to school, My daughter thought it was the greatest thing that ever happened. Cornelia explained how people in general responded: 'It's very seldom that people are without an opinion. They think l've lost my mind or they say they admire me greatly. Cornelia, who graduated last spring with a B.A. in secondary English says she would encourage more women to come to college and pursue their de- grees. --Y Cathy Gann Elementary Education Linda Garrick English Education Vincent Giannetta Accounting Barbara Gillenwater Secretarial Science Patricia Goffeney Accounting l Sherry Golden Elementary Education Cindy Dennis Sociology Barbara De Spain Social Work Louis Diebold Leisure Management Cheri Dixon Ni irsinv Shirley Duguid Social Work Dave Eckert Accounting Lora Elan Legal Assistant Louann Erickson Nursing Ronald Evans Criminal justice Margaret Fitch Elementary Education Nancy Ford Elementary Education Lottie Freemyer Accounting Mike Frizzell Accounting Shirley Fuller Management Terry Fuller Elementary Education Gerald Gabel Business Mary Corsuch Marketing Margaret Greub Management Ronald Griffin Criminal lustice Kathy Crimes Elementary Education Nancy Grimes Accounting Ravin Crubbs Criminal justice Deidre Haage Music Education Susan Hackett Secretarial Science Randy Haffey Management Cindy Hagee Nursing Lesleigh Haight Business Administration Management Barbara Hanway Biology Marsha Harmon Biology Elette Harter Accounting Charles Hays Political Science Kevin Heern Business Kathleen Heitman Marketing Stan Heldenbrand Electronics Sue Henry Executive Secretarial Pamela Herpich Lawyers Assistant Susie Hillix Elementary Education Heidi Hoffman Executive Secretarial Dan Holleman Data Processing ludith Hurst English Education Connie lackson Nursing Bill lohnson Construction Pam lohnson Elementary Education Malinda lohnson Executive Secretarial Greg Armstrong Twirler stars with band BTO be a good baton twirler you have to be willing to practice almost more than you sleep, says Beth Ann Bartels, MWSC's baton twirling star.

Alex Russell, a member of the St. joseph Figure Skating Club and the United States Figure Skating Association QUSFSAI, spends approximately 14 hours a week practicing in prepara- tion for the skill tests given by the USFSA three times a year at the Bode Ice Arena. Alex passed his first test in preliminary figures and dance in March, 1979. 'IMy last test was in February 1980. I was tested on such dances on the bronze level as the Ten Fox, Fiesta Tango and Willow WaItz, explained Alex. Alex first became interested in ice skating two years ago. I came down to one of the sessions with a friend of mine, and I really enjoyed it, he related. Ice skating isn't the only hobby Alex enjoys. His enthusiasm and wit have made him a valuable asset on the Griffon Yearbook staff as a photographer. Alex is also a member of the Army National Guard, having served four of a six year term. He has lived in several foreign countries. His father was em- ployed by a bullet-proof glass manufacturing company, spending most of his time working in foreign countries. llMy mother is a native of Venezuela. I lived in Caracas, the capitol, for six years and attended a private Catholic school for two years, Alex added. I then attended a public school with kids from middle class families. From Venezuela, Alex spent 18 months in Barcelona, Spain and six months in Germany. After having spent approximately eight years outside of the U.S., Alex views America quite differently. llAmericans are too materialistic. We tend to put a money value on every- thing, he explained.

Thus, it's no surprise that Vernon Hart is also a farmer. 'l've always want- ed to farm, Vernon said. Vernon was raised on a dairy farm east of St. joseph. This was when he first felt a yearning to farm. The dairy farm is stocked with Holstein cows. Vernon, who owns two trucks, and his brother with his combine do other farm-related work as well. llWe do custom hauling and harvesting. We also farm 80-100 acres and help my Dad with his 100 acres. I raise 10 beef cows for market also, he said. l'l'm an average student and can't stand English, I like histo- ry and politics. I came to school to learn the management side of running a farm, he said. 'I see a lot of guys who went broke, but I still want to farm anyway, he said. Vernon likes to farm but doesn't like some chores. He enjoys being in the open fields. Ill can't stand painting the barn or cleaning the hog pens, it's boring. I like to mainly do field work. During the spring I'm usually busy planting, in the summer I'm cultivating, and in the fall I put in long days harvesting, Vernon said. Twentieth century technology has brought farming out of the fields and into the classroom where people, like Vernon Hart, are making things happen. 181 fGraduates Ann Adams leff Adams Ray Adams David Albright Becky Allen lan Allen Susan Allen Norman Alley Donna Almanza Wanda Alter Becky Anderson Darla Anderson Becky Applebury Diane Archdekin Greg Armstrong Roger Arnold Susan Ashford lulie Ashworth Elaine Atkison Charles Babcock Suzanne Bachman Gayla Bailey leffrey Baird lames Ball 182 !Undergradutes Up Close --- She Wants to stud Enrolling in classes for personal satisfaction rather than fol- lowing a specific concentration, sophomore Shelly Williams is blazing her own path through college at Western.

Fantasy in Literature with Isabel Sparks is also a favorite. 'Mrs. Sparks provides new insight into old material, a lot to offer compared to other college professors, she said.

Shelly and her best friend from Oak Park decided to come to Missouri Western because it was small and could offer her a 'personal touch not 'millions of miles away from home.

Day feels rock climbing and outdoor life itself has made him learn a lot more about himself. 'I have increased an un- derstanding of what I can and cannot do, he said. Day is also well know for his Cruising sermons. The Rev- erend Roger A. Day has thrilled many of bar patrons as well as outdoor campers with his message of cruisin' your way through life. Probably Day's most avid interest right now is rock climb- ing. Day started climbing in 1977 and has become skilled enough at it to help MWSC instruct Don Deaton in many of the outdoor trips Deaton's classes have taken. Day has climbed most every mountain from northern New Mexico to southern Montana. In the three years Day has been climbing he has seen many beautiful wildlife animals, but has not ever really had a scare with any of them. UThe most dangerous incident l've had with an animal is when a varmint fa cross between a weasel and a raccoonj stole my apple from me, Day said with a laugh. Roger Day wants to go through life with not having to worry about too many things and just enjoy it.

My brother was working out for sports. He was getting all the attention, so I started going down with him to Steve's Gym, john said. After two years, I gradually worked my way up to working out every day. l'm usually at the gym at least three hours a day with Sundays off now and then. john works on his chest, triceps, and deltoids on Mondays, Wednes- days, and Fridays, and the legs, back, and biceps on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. He works on the calves, arms, and abdomen every day. The purpose of these work-outs is to build bulk lsizel for future contests. 'I have a special diet I follow a cou- ple of weeks before contests. I eat lots of carbohydrates. I get them from tuna, out of a can, frozen fish, boiled chicken, and lots of boiled eggs and water. Right before a contest, I eat chocolate which gets up my vascularity for my poses. lohn said he has to eat lots of protein and protein supple- ments when he is not preparing for a contest. So far, lohn has been in two con- tests. 'll placed fifth in the Mr. St. lo- seph Contest in April, 1979, and fourth in the Mr. Missouri Valley Contest in November, 1979. I received a trophy for the best poses and placed second in best chest, he explained. 'lt's necessary to go into contest with a positive mind and to look confi- dent in posing, lohn said. lohn will continue competing in teenage meets a few more years until he turns 20.

They look alike, dress alike, and take the same classes. Brenda and Linda McGuire are twin sisters from Maysville, Mo. Up until their senior year in high school, the twins even dressed alike. Our teachers and most of the other students couldn't tell us apart, the twins said. Once in junior high when they had separate classes the two switched their math and history classes. llWe just did it to see if anyone would notice, and neither teacher did, they remarked. The two have even switched boyfriends on occasion. Incidentally, their boyfriends are cousins. Whenever Linda and Brenda take a test in class, they often miss the same questions. We can always tell what each other is thinking, they stated. The two take the same classes and both manage the women's basketball team and keep statistics at all home games. They also work the same jobs in the Biology Department, preparing labs, grading papers, and typing. Iody Ulrich, a cafeteria employee said, 'Whenever they go through the food line they usually take the same items. One of the problems the twins en- counter at MWSC is that their room- mates have a hard time telling them apart. People ask us how to tell us apart, but there is no specific way, they stated. Linda and Brenda say that the most humorous thing they have done was when they were playing softball - one of their favorite hobbies. 'll was playing second base and Lin- da was playing shortstop, Brenda stat- ed. Another player was trying to steal from first base to second, Linda said. When she tried, I tagged her out with my glove but it was empty because Linda had the ball, Brenda said. In the future Linda and Brenda plan to transfer to Methodist Medical Cen- ter to enroll in the two year technicians program. - JOHN CARMODY McGuire Twins X191 i .f Theresa Goodlett Susan Goodwin Crystal Gorham janet Graber Lena Grable Brian Graham Dianna Graham Brian Graves Ieff Green Rita Gregory Ieri Harrington Tracy Harris Alice Hart Vernon Hart Nancy Hartigan Dwight Hartley Pam Haskey Nancy Hatten Mary Haynes Tony Haynes Brian Henderson Gene Henderson lon Herpick Denise Hert 192 fUndergraduates Scott Saving Driving school bus begins his day james Olney is no ordinary full-time student.

I was looking for a part-time job with flexible hours to allow for my col- lege classes, james commented. So I started through the want ads. When I came across the ad for bus drivers, I went and put in my application. Then I had to sit through a meeting where they informed us on their policies, rules, and regulations. IlSteve Elder trained me, james con- tinued. I had had previous bus driving experience in Gallatin, my home town, so I'm sure my training was not as ex- tensive as it would have been. UI started driving for St. joseph in january, 1979, he noted. 'll drove as a substitute for bus No. 9 every Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday morning. james now drives the route full time. It's a country route with my first pick up at 7 a.m., which means I get up between 5:30 and 6 every morning. If everybody rides, I have about 30 stu- dents. I'm usually at Central High around 7:45 and then to Bode Middle School no earlier than 7:50. On Tues- day and Thursday I'm often late to my 8 o'cIock class, he said. If the bus is here at the college, I leave around 2:20 p.m. I pick up the Central students about 2:45. There's a layover at Bode until 3 o'clock. james is always concerned about trying to maneuver some of the turns and gravel roads when the weather is bad. He jokingly said he might quit if it gets too dangerous. Most of the students are well be- haved, james stated, Ilbut of course there are some minute conflicts. I try to let the kids work out their differences, when possible, as it puts the responsi- bility on them. One time a student fell asleep in the back seat of the bus, he remem- bered. I couldn't see him so I never stopped to let him off. Nobody told me that he was back there. I had dropped everybody off and was taking the bus back to the station when he woke up. So I made a special trip in my car to take him home. I still can't be- lieve he could sleep that good on the bus! james enjoys being with young peo- ple. He explained that the younger chil- dren do seem to mind him better, but he enjoys the route he has now. One other experience he had helps to wrap up the value of his part-time job. A young boy frequently caused disturbances by talking loudly and fail- ing to follow james' instructions. Finally, james required the boy to sit in the seat behind him. Only then did he dis- cover that the boy was deaf and didn't know he was talking too loudly. From then on james and the boy got along very well. Understanding is an important factor in getting along with people. Even little people. - RONDA KNADLER Up Close Unde-rgraduates!193 An - Afternoon of Boxing 194 !Boxing Photos by Craig Drath Round one, between Randy Cooper and Mike Brockett tabovej at the Lambda Chi Alpha house.

Our singer just quit, and we were wondering if you would fill in for him, at least temporar- ily. That telephone call launched a new career for Andrea Chavez-Brennan. I started just as a temporary singer, but have been with the band since the spring of 1978. Previous to this, I had the second lead in LeBlond's all school musical, 'Hello, Dolly.' l've had no training other than three semesters of voice lessons at Missouri Western, she related. The band consists of six people in- cluding Andrea, her brother, three Cortez brothers, and one other fe- male. 'lWe mostly do weddings, wedding receptions, and dances. We play most kinds of music except for country and western. lt's mostly vocal instead of in- strumental. Out of 80-100 songs at an engagement, Andrea sings 50-60 of them. Andrea does not play any regular in- struments. However, she does play the cow bell, moracos, and the tamborine. UThe band is non-union, and there- fore can't advertise. We receive our business from word of mouth. We only play for four hours. lf they want us for an extra hour, they generally pass the hat. We receive at least 550 or we won't play, Andrea added. They rehearse two to three hours twice a week unless there's an engage- ment coming up and, of course, then they practice more. Luckily, Andrea has never lost her voice before an engagement but she has had other problems like her sinuses acting up. llWe were doing a dance in Kansas City when I had a sinus attack. I did the best that l could but l'm sure it wasn't really that good, Andrea remem- bered. llWe travel by van and, like most ve- hicles, it doesn't guarantee we'll make our destination on time. We have nev- er run out of gas. However, the van did overheat once. We only had one gallon of water. So we had to wait while for it to cool down. We did make it there on time, Andrea said.

But for john Beaumont, 91, the oldest stu- dent at MWSC this year, college life is a way of keeping the mind alive and active. john returned to MWSC after taking several courses here two years ago. He is presently enrolled in American Hu- mor and a humanities class. Students remember john, not from his age, but from what he contributes in class. Said one of john's classmates, lf we're having a class discussion and the conversation has deadened a bit, john will comment on something and relate it to a childhood experience dur- ing the 1800's, and the whole class is suddenly interested and involved again. He's a real asset to have in class. john was born in Platte City, Missou- ri, on November 14, 1888. He grew up in St. joseph, attended Washington and Robidoux schools, and graduated in 1906 with a class of 93 from St. joseph High School, at that time the only high school in town. He then entered the University of Missouri in Columbia with intentions of completing a medical ca- reer. His plans changed abruptly when his father convinced him to leave school and become a partner in a wholesale dry goods business in St. joseph. 'll never regretted that move, john related. I spent 22 years in the dry goods business and thoroughly en- joyed my work. When the company went out of business in 1929, john entered the Businessman's Insurance Company as a broker.

Her intense desire to help other peo- ple had motivated Claudia to pursue a degree in psychology, which would qualify her as a guidance counselor in a parochial school. She says she would like to give her time and talents teach- ing others what she has learned from life. Claudia believes that the combina- tion of a college degree and the matu- rity that comes with age can help young people during their critical growing years. After taking a chaplaincy training program fC.T.P.l at St. Joseph Hospital, she realized the need to respond with help for others and decided to invest her time working towards a psycholo- gy degree. Upon seeking admission to MWSC, Claudia discovered that there was no tuition charge for persons 65 and older. In a world of constantly ris- ing prices, she immediately took ad- vantage of the opportunity to study for free. For Claudia Wolters, school has not been more difficult because of her age, but rather the contrary. l'All of my teachers had been extremely helpful and it was a joy studying with the younger students, she said. Claudia didn't have to deal with peer pressures or turbulent love lives, which most of the younger people would highly rank as the greatest outside in- 198 X Wolters terferences on school work. Her own love life has centered around her hus- band, Al, with whom she celebrated 45 years together, her three children and nine grandchildren. Also, because she has lived longer and experienced more, she says she could relate to problems many stu- dents had not faced yet, as well as give greater insight during class discussions. Claudia and her husband are lay min- isters at Co-Cathedral Catholic Church. She attends a prayer group, makes reg- ular visits to the hospital, and loves to play cards every week. If Claudia had not felt the desire to help people, she admitted that she would not have gone back to college. llMy love for people is my strongest motivation to achieve my goal of graduating with a college degree, she explained. lt is a shame more people do not take advantage of the opportunity to enrich their lives and the lives of oth- ers, especially during their late years. The college atmosphere and the friendliness everyone extends makes it a joy to be attending classes. And, the ability to go to college without tuition makes it so enticing. After graduating from the Convent of the Sacred Heart, she then enrolled in St. loseph lunior College. However, because of her father's illness, she was forced to drop out within a year. Claudia is not about to miss out on the numerous social and cultural events that St. joseph offers to its Golden Americans fsenior citizensl. She hopes that through her enthusiasm in a tradi- tionally youth-dominated territory fa college campusl, she may inspire other older Missourians to become college co-eds as well. - KIRK ARNOLD Alex Russell Alex Russell Alex Russell Kurt Killen Gail Kindred Marsha King joe Kipper Randy Kline Ronda Knadler Steve Kneib Susan Knight Don Koehnlein Patty Kopp Mike Kostroske Cissy Kottman ludy Kottman Mindy Kottman Undergra duates X 199 Dawn Kyle Karen Lammers Lynn Landis Lisa Landon Sherril Latham Charles Lawrence Gary Lawrence Brenda Lawyer Kevin Lee Richard Lee Ronald Lehr Martha Lesmeister Carolyn Lewis David Littrell Leayn Losh Lisa Lottman loella Lovelady Kim Lupfer Steven Maberry Carol Mabry Nancy Mabry Carla Mace Randy Maley Beth Mallen Romme Mann Fran Manning Natalie Mapel Robin Mapel laime Marr lody Martin Nancy Martin Valori Mayor Pat McCammon Lori McClain Brenda McGuire Gary McGuire Linda McGuire Connie McKernan Kelly McMichael Pamela McMillen Mary Lou McPheeters Nasser Memarian Marilyn Meng Buddy Merritt Rhonda Meyers lames Michalski Mike Mikkelson Christie Miller Dixie Miller Kendall Misemer Nanette Modis Candy Monachino Elizabeth Moore Terry Moran Ioseph Morse Cindy Moyer lennifer Murphy Kathy Murray Scott Nelson Terry Nelson lan Nesler Pete Newbold Robert Newhart Darrell Nichols Donald O'Dell Barbara Oliver Laura Oliver leanie O'Rourke Becky Orr Debbie Ostrander 200 f Undergraduates 45' .

The military police or M.P.'s is a branch of the United States Army that has many functions. l'Our jobs ranged from being a member in a combat unit to investigating traffic accidents, drug cases and burglaries, Scott, a criminal justice major, commented. Scott, who hails from Parkville, Mis- souri, served with the military police from September, 1976 to August, 1979. Scott indicated he was motivated to join because uthe military police seemed like a great way to get away from home life, school, and plain aver- age Iiving. Scott did escape American Life - he was stationed in Germany while he served in the military police. 'lThe two cities I was stationed in were Dexheim where I stayed from january, 1977 to May, 1978, and Pirmasens where my duty lasted from May, 1978 to August, 1979, Scott re- lated. lIWhiIe in Dexheim I worked in a physical security unit which guarded a missile site. In Pirmasens, my duty was general law enforcement. He also added, llThe military police there dealt with rape cases, Iarcenies and an annu- al exercise called Reforger, which stands for return forces to Europe. llWhile in Germany I worked pretty closely with the German Police. Once we brought in an American G. I. to be questioned. My partner and I were asked to go down the hall to get a cup of coffee. We came back about fifteen minutes later and the American G.l. was no longer giving the German Po- lice a hard time. In Germany there are no police brutality laws, and therefore the police are more effective in getting their job done. A German police offi- cer is very well respected in Germany. When one is seen on the streets, he is treated with the utmost authority. While in the military police Scott's life was endangered many times. He responded to this situation by simply stating, lII'd rather not talk about it! Scott explained how he spent some of his spare time in Germany. llln the city of Murzablan, the remains of a castle built in the 1600's which was bombed during W.W. II. My friends and I would go up and spend some time rapelling. We'd have a pretty good time. Scott has formed some of his own opinions of the German people and reacted, 'lThe Germans want the Americans to support and protect their people, but then again they feel we are a hassle because of the two differ- ent types of people, the Americans and the Germans, not knowing each other. The government likes the Ameri- cans for the fact that we're bringing them jobs, which makes their unem- ployment rate go down. Now that Scott has been out of the military police, he pointed out, 'lI'd like to work for the Highway Patrol some- time. I don't intend going back to the military police and doing service in Germany, because I like being home in my own environment, and I under- stand my native language.

Q asewifwywgiwi P4-2 Academics!211 Administrators lead MWSC into the '8O's For an institution to be strong, it must possess diverse and hardworking persons. Missouri Western has these special individuals: Aside from the many jobs and duties shared by the administration, they also enjoy many on and off campus activi- ties. The President has often been de- scribed as 'Ithe man at the top to be seen only as a busy official who has only college time and college interests on his hands. Dr. Marvin Looney, col- lege president, came to Missouri West- ern in 1967 and serves as another kind of president, too. III serve as president of the down- town Rotary. Rotary is a men's club that serves the community in various projects. My wife and I attended the Rotary International Convention in Rome, I really enjoyed it, Dr. Looney related. I'For enjoyment my sons, wife and I spend time down at Lake Pontiac at our cabin. Lake Pontiac has 'I,000 miles of shoreline and clear water. At the lake we spend time in water sports. We look at that as separate and apart from school activities. IIThe activities my wife and I enjoy that grow out of the college are music, theatre and athletic events. Ill also play golf in the summer, he added, Dr. Looney concluded, uMy family schedule has changed with the addition of my two granddaughters. I place em- phasis on my immediate life. Dr. Robert Nelson, vice-president of academic affairs is responsible for fac- ulty and administering the instructional budget and learning resource center. I'With my Montana background, I like the mountains and go trout fishing as often as I can, Dr. Nelson ex- plained. 'II have three children. One is a sophomore at Central and the other two are in the seventh and first grades. My wife teaches math, he continued. I'm fairly involved in the communi- ty. I'm a member of the United Way Board, Allied Arts Council and Sympho- Photos by Scott Saving is as 'if Qi Heb 3.3-is 5 ex 52-sf' . .9 Z I2 .fAdministration ny Board. 'Some other little-known duties in- volve me with academic deans, direc- tor of library and director of continuing education. They often report to my of- fice. My major concern is to provide the best education possible for the stu- dents. Kenneth Hawk holds two new titles in addition to vice president of busi- ness affairs. 'IAs of luly 1 of 1979 I became Title 9 administrator and affirmative action officer. These two titles are new. As affirmative action officer I attempt to get minorities to apply to our college. The applicant pool is not very big. We are trying to bring minorities to St. lo- seph because we feel we can offer many opportunities to them. I'TitIe 9 officer is involved in the hir- ing of women. I look to Sarah Dickey, personnel director, for help, Hawk ex- plained. My day to day operations are more of a coordinating officer. Hawk add- ed. The strength of our institution lies in student caIiber, said Dr. Nolen Mor- rison, vice-president of student affairs. The type of student has gone up- ward. The ACT scores are going up and we're seeing that as a tremendous improvement over the past five years. As vice president of academic affairs I'm concerned for the students and their academic success. Sometimes I feel I take the place of their parents in planning extracurricular activities for the students. We try to balance aca- demic life with living and prepare the student for a job and, most of all, com- mencement. lt's like running a small city with daily living. IIMy outside interests include all types of outdoor activities such as golf, hunting, fishing, and traveling. My fam- ily and I have a retreat at Bull Shoales that's isolated. Whenever we can get away, we do. I have three children, a son who lives in Fayetteville, Arkansas, another who attends school here, and tCIockwisel Dr. MO. Looney, president, Dr. Nolen Morrison, vice president of student affairs, Kenneth Hawk, vice president of business affairs, and Martyn Howgill, vice president of college re- lations, Dr. Robert Nelson, vice president of aca- demic affairs. a daughter in seventh grade at Bessie Ellison. Also, he added, 'I like to go to the Razorback football games and hear the crowds yell for the hogs! I get a big kick out of that. Under the president and vice presi- dents are the various deans, men who also enjoy a variety of outside activi- ties. I'm sewing my ninth year as dean of students. Before becoming a dean I was Financial Aids Director, comment- ed Forest Hoff. 'lOne of the little-known tasks I'm in- volved in is taking care of the cheerleaders. I handle their budget and take care of hiring their sponsor. Also, each spring I judge the cheerleading tryouts. I've seen many improvements in the nine years I've been here. I can re- member the first semester, the dorms only had 60 students. Now, we have around 640. I'll keep on working for more improvements for the student's sake. Dean Hoff added, 'lAside from my job I engage in carpentry which I con- sider a second vocation. I've built my own fireplace which was a difficult task. The fireplace was twenty-feet high and I had to carry six bricks at a time when building it. I've also worked on other houses beside my own. Dr. Stephen Capelli is dean of the division of career programs. He said that his outside activities center around his eleven year old son. llI've managed his baseball team for three years, but since then I have re- tired from it. Now, l'm treasurer of the Eagles, League in baseball in which my son plays. I attend many of his football, basketball and baseball games. llMy wife, teaches at Bode Middle School and sponsors the cheerleading squad. She really enjoys working with the girlsl llI'm very active in the East side Ro- tary Club. I served as their president for the 78-79 year. I've been on Ro- tary's board for the last four years. 'll serve on several committees in the surrounding area. I belong to the Chamber of Commerce, Mayorfs tClockwisej Dr. Steven Capelli, dean of division of career programs, Dr. Charles Coyne, dean of education and applied sciences, Forrest Hoff, dean of students, Dr. Robert Scott, dean of liber- al arts and sciences.

Dr. Charles Coyne, dean of educa- tion and applied sciences, teaches class besides serving as dean. III really like to teach and was pleased to have taught P.E. Concepts. The first semester of 79-80 year I went through the Physical Education in-ser- vice-program to prepare myself to teach. This gives me a chance to be more acquainted with students. One disadvantage of being dean is that as the Education and Applied Sciences program grows, I lose contact with stu- dents. I'd like to get back into teach- ing. Concluding, Dr. Coyne said, 'lMost of my pastimes outside the job include golf, hunting, and just being outdoors. I really enjoy things we can do as a fam- ily-my wife and four children. I really enjoy being around my family because it's only for a limited period. I take a deep interest in my children. While most administrators com- mented on their life aside from their jobs, Dr. Robert Scott said his interest is on the growing program in the de- partment of Liberal Arts and Sciences of which he is the dean. 'll believe the quality of our pro- grams is becoming known in St. loseph and the surrounding area. The enroll- ment and strong capabilities of stu- dents is growing. Quality secures en- rollment. 'lm very proud of the faculty. They're doing a good job with the quality and effort they're putting forth. We have a fine faculty, but I always take the position we can be better. I take this as a general attitude, that we always improve no matter how good we are. llMy personal interests include hunt- ing, fishing, gardening and lawn work.

C. Howgill, Vice President for College Relations at MWSC. His striking British accent is lively and captivating. Martyn grew up in llford, England, a village on the fringes of London. He played on the English High School na- tional basketball team. Following high school, he was recruited by New Mexi- co State on a basketball scholarship. He returned to England after one semes- ter. 'lThe culture shock was pretty traumatic. There's quite a difference between London and Las Cruces, New Mexico, explained Martyn. Upon his return to England, he played for Sheffield University and the English National Team. He studied soci- ology, philosophy, and economics while there. One year later, Martyn returned to the United States to finish his college career at Fort Hays State College. He played basketball two years and earned a B.A. degree in English Litera- ture. He furthered his education by re- ceiving a M.A. in journalism from the University of Missouri School of lour- nalism. Martyn was a member of the bas- ketball team which represented Great Britain in the 1972 Olympic games in Munich. His team lost out in the quali- fying tournament. Martyn commented, mln Europe, sports are more casual than here in the States. People are in- terested in enjoying the game and they are less hung up on winning. Perhaps this was why we didn't make it to the final round. Martyn is proud of MWSC support and looks toward a bright future for the college. An interesting period of my first year was the development of Master Plan lll by the Coordinating Board. The thing that impressed me was the over- 2111! Howgill whelming number of MWSC support- ers who attended the hearings held in Savannah. lt indicated an obvious sup- port of citizens as well as students for the college, Martyn said. PEveryone likes to play for a winner. It is reassuring and morale boosting for those of us who work at the college to feel this support that was shown. 'XMWSC is a good quality four-year college. We don't always recognize this because we're so new, we're of- tentimes defensive. But there is great potential and I am pleased to be asso- ciated with MWSC, Martyn said. Martyn explained that Midwest Re- search Institute of Kansas City, a con- sultant firm, was conducting an in- depth study of MWSC. The firm talked to a range of people to set up a long range plan of blue prints for the 1980's llWe must set our priorities and Craig Drath goals,, and with good planning and management, we can accomplish them. A plan is like a roadmap, you have to know where to go and how to get there, Martyn siad. ul can expect you'd all be nervous if you boarded a plane and the pilot an- nounced, 'We are flying at 35,000 feet. l think we will go to Los Angeles, but l don't know.' You've got to know where you are going and how you'll get there. MWSC's plans mustreflect the needs of the college andthe peo- ple it serves, l Martyn added. Martyn's hobbies include golf and participating in a discussion group which meets to discuss current issues. With basketball still inhis blood, he plays for a Kiwanis team. i l'm one of thestarting five. But l'm justla skinny old man who tries to hang in there, Martyn said. - KAREN FLEMING Regrouped board remains solid The Board of Regents lost two mem- bers and gained one, resulting in a board consisting of five members in 1979-80. Kenneth Christgen, lr., led the group as president. The Board consisted of Shirley Brad- ley, Fred Eder, Vice-President Dale Maudlin, and newcomer Peter O'Donnell. O'Donnell replaced Thom- as Teare in the spring of 1979. Eugene 1. Feldhausen, was transferred to the State Highway Commission, which left the Board at five members. The Regents are appointed by the Missouri Governor and approved by the Missouri Senate. All of the mem- bers must reside in the college district. The Board is a relatively new con- cept in directing the college. In 1978, two separate governing groups, the Board of Regents, and the Board of Trustees, was combined into a six- member Board of Regents. Following a policy book provided by the state, the responsibilities of the Board are to improve college-com- munity relations, student welfare, and educational quality.

Not to be left out, Missouri Western is getting into the act. loann Reindle teaches the actual one-on-one flight training and fills in as an instructor for Bob Palling, who directs the classroom side of flight training. She has been flying since 1963, teaching since 1969, and working at St. loseph Flying Service since 1973. She first became interested in flying through her husband. The cost of this particular course is expensive: 952,000 to get a private license. No goofing off is done and l've never had a discipline problem, loann said. With an investment like this, it is no wonder students pay attention and go to class. The classes reflect a wide range of people who have a de- Z Ib fPilot Training sire to fly. lllvtost of the students really want to fly, she said. More men than women enroll, but all ages are interested. Some men and women would like to continue in the aviation field, either as a commercial pilot or flying planes for large corporation executives. This class never becomes monotonous or boring. loann ex- plains, llWe don't have the same thing over and over, the weather changes, the instruments need to be checked, and this provides variety for students. There is a traditional ritual after each student's first solo flight, their shirt tail is cut off and pasted in their flight book.

Dr. johnson, Agriculture Department Chairman and manager of the college farm commented that students are turned away every semester. l'We had only three positions open for one of the projects this spring, and seventeen had applied. The college farm, which consists of 440 acres, became available for stuf dent use in 1977 when the agriculture research project program was started. Of the 440 available to the farm, 202 acres are sown with corn and beans, the remaining acreage is used for graz- ing.

Nevertheless, the Missouri Western State College Farm is notewor- thy. Students enrolled in the college farm project Qleftj are assigned various tasks including sheep shearing.

Would you like to go cross-country skiing for only 57 or go wilderness ca- noe camping in Minnesota for only 3510? If so, the outdoor classes may be a bargain for you. Outdoor classes are for everyone and no specific or special group of people fill them up. UWe have people from every major on campus, not just our own departmentf' Dr. Don Deaton explained. What is the com- mon denominator? An interest and en- joyment of the great outdoors. Females looking for a class to meet guys, where women will be in the mi- nority, should think again about the outdoor classes. A large percentage of the classes are female and in the past two years, over 507-, of the rock climb- ing classes have been females. Deaton explains these figures as simply reflect- ing our society. The classes are a way to have fun while learning. They are a unique pro- -'Q Dave Connett gram, a program which no other col- lege in Missouri can boast. Last summer something new was of- fered, a program which had Deaton very enthused. The class was a coop- erative offering between the Physical Education and Geology department. Following some preparation in the evenings, the class spent three weeks in Wyoming. The class was offered for eight hours of credit, four in P.E. and four in Geology. The cost was summer tuition for the eight hours plus S25 for maps and campsites. llWe have highly qualified people, it's part of our lifestyle, Deaton sums up. Iohn Carmody related, liYes, I would go on another one again, but if there was a different Missouri Western spon- sored activity, I would rather go on it.

Some services are designed to help women re-enter college with ease, by providing infor- mation on day care services and semi- nars with emphasis on areas concern- ing women. The funding for Women's Studies came from different sources including the MWSC Board of Regents and gov- ernment grants, according to lane Frick, director of the project. The project's activities are planned by a committee consisting of six students and eleven faculty. They meet monthly in CC 201 to discuss courses to offer, what classes to discontinue, the prob- lems they encounter, and plans for fu- ture projects. Many interesting one-day free semi- nars are offered throughout the year. Besides these seminars, classes under the Continuing Education courses divi- sion are also offered. Seminars have touched on such topics as: Coping with College !Career and Family Responsibilities, Affirmative Action and Title IX, When God was a Woman, and lmages of Women tin Artj. Continuing Education courses have included Career Assessment fCounseling, Estate Planning, Women in Management, and Assertiveness Training. The group is checking into the possi- bility of having a classroom telephone hookup for mothers who have small children who are sick, a shortened class for women in the Learning Skills Center, recruitment via a filmstrip to the community, and the need for a day-care center on campus.

The day has arrived. Walking down the halls of the school feels much like going to the executioner. The door opens and the cooperating teacher meets you with a smile and a handshake. HEY! This is a nice room and the teacher seems exceptional. The bell rings and students come in the door much like cats to a bath. Fi- nally they find their seats and you are introduced. There seem to be as many welcome smiles as oh no frowns. The day trods on like a good horse and the last hour ends. Only 12 weeks to go. This experience, working nearly full- time as a teacher in a local school, is just one of many a student faces in the education program. ln an innovative process the student teacher artici- pates in three separate in-schoollstays. According to Dr. S. E. Haynes, chairperson of the education depart- ment, Nationwide programs are start- ing out as off-shoots directly from Mis- souri Western's. This series of stays is to replace the traditional single semes- ter teacher participation class. Dr. Haynes went on to say that the 'state Department of Education is just now 228!Student Teaching requiring more than one in-school ex- Eerience for student teachers. We ave been doing that for 12 years. This series of experiences gives the student an opportunity to function as a teacher, under guided supervision. lt is much like the intership a doctor goes through. Students themselves feel that student teaching, the senior year espe- cially, is the most helpful class educa- tion has to offer, Haynes concluded. Senior Pam Sumner, an elementary education major, seemed to sum up the whole in three words: ill loved it! I learned more in my student teaching than any other class I had on campus. Being able to work with the teacher, to share the class, made me realize the preparation needed in order to be a good teacher. About discipline and control, Pam felt there were uno major problems. Location of the school seems to affect the number of roblems. Big city schools seem to have the real prob- lems. Here, in St. loseph, the students are very polite. Also, all the specialists are available to all the schools, Pam ex- plained. Pam came to Missouri Western be- cause of the education program. After graduation, she hopes to teach in the Topeka area. Blaine Hipes, an English major in sec- ondary education, liked Missouri West- ern because of the three-year pro- gram. llln other schools you can go 3M years and find you do not like teach- ing, Blaine stated. l'Here you get to know the people, the kids and your- self. And in the end, the theory of the class if just that, theory. Out in the school each teacher teaches his own way, Blaine thought. Education here is a challenge for the future. Students that enter the field as unknowing sophomores leave as ex- perienced and prepared teachers. - DARRELL RILEY Cathy Kems, an English elementary education major tabove and leftj reviews word groups with her third graders at Skaith School.

English Interns pick up grades and know-how The Internship Program in English flournalism enables the participating student to gain valuable knowledge through on-the-job training. Senior Debi Ford said, 'The intern- ship program gives the participant a chance to gain valuable experience in the field of his choice. My job at the St. Ioseph Gazette gives me confi- dence in myself and a sense of respon- sibiIity. Students interested in the program must first complete an application for Internship and submit it to the depart- ment lnternship coordinator. After re- ceiving a notice of acceptance from English 499!Iournalism 499, the student completes a counseling session with the Internship coordinator regarding work experience placement. Students then sign a contract with the work supervisor and lntership coordinator for thirty hours of work for each hour of credit granted. Stu- dents may enroll for two to six hours of credit. Students and their employers com- plete midterm reporting forms and these forms are submitted to the In- ternship coordinator for evaluation. After completing their work exper- iences a final report is submitted by the student and the employer submits a fi- nal evaluation. The student's grade is then determined by the Internship coordinator. Scott Saving Bryan Dancer Another intern, Kirk Arnold, ex- plained, I'It is a great opportunity to explore your chosen field, besides the fact that you are getting paid for the work you do. The experience will also look good on your resume. Grades are one of the last things an employer con- siders when hiring. My job in the col- lege's Public Relation Department en- ables me to gain the experience the employer wants. I Debi Ford said, Ulf I don't under- stand something, I am constantly around professionals who are more than willing to explain and teach. To qualify for the Internship pro- gram, the intern should be a junior or Senior with skills in writing and critical reading. Most agencies look for stu- dents who are self-motivated, dedi- cated, trustworthy, and creative. It is the students' responsibility to find out how the agency works and to perform faithfully according to the contract. - KATHLEEN WILSON An editorial writer from the St. Ioseph Gazette, Debi Ford Iabovej feeds her story into the com- puter via video display terminal.

English lnterns!229 Alumni come home to teach Many former students have returned to teach, giving a new meaning to the word 'ihomecomingf' I'I feel very much at 'home' at Mis- souri Western and love St. joseph be- cause I was born and raised here, alumnus jeanne Hoagland stated. Hoagland has been an instructor of nursing here for the past three years. Ml really like the area and, being from Bethany, Missouri Western is still close to my hometown. I came back because I was proud of Missouri West- ern. I thought of it as a growing school, explained Charles Pettijohn, an instructor of business. Pettijohn re- ceived his Masters degree at Southeast Missouri State in Cape Girardeau. A first-year instructor of English, Kenneth Rosenauer, who also received his degree from Southeast Missouri, commented on coming back to his hometown. 'The most important reason I came back was because St. joseph is my hometown. I hoped by coming back I could do some things to make the school better. Coming back is like mak- ing an investment in my hometown and the college. Also, it's a bit easier because I know more about St. joseph than any other place. Carl Butcher, another alumnus-in- structor, simply said, UI like staying in the St. joseph community. I was born and raised here and I'm partial to St. joseph. Butcher teaches criminal jus- tice. There were other reasons why some had chosen to return besides simply ucoming home. UI guess becoming part of Missouri Western's faculty was kind of an acci- dent, Mary Fields related. 'I lived two lives. I graduated from St. joseph junior College as a home economist. I went to Maryville and fin- ished there. After my children were 230!AIumni Teachers born, I got into education and started a private pre-school, then was asked to start a private kindergarten too. From there I received my degree in teaching from Missouri Western. I decided to combine my degrees and received my masters from UMKC. I recently be- came qualified for the early childhood program here at Missouri Western. LeRoy Maxwell said, 'll was involved in juvenile court for eight years and went as far as I could go. It got kind of pressuring. I wanted a change of sce- nery, so I decided I'd like to teach. When I came back, not many people had much experience, so the opportu- nity was there, I feel I contribute to the students by telling them just how it is in the field. Butcher explained, 'lI've always wanted to teach at the college level. The circumstances and opening had come up, so I figured I'd better jump and secure the position. I had anticipat- ed teaching as at later date. l'I feel my teaching is more of a con- tribution , he added. UI like passing on the education. The financial rewards may not be good, but I really enjoy what I do! After alumni become faculty, it is of- ten easy for them to see the contrast between student and teacher. They discover some changes in the school and themselves. Rosenauer stated, In the school I found no drastic changes. In me, yes! I was in a different position. I was no longer the student behind the desk but was in front of the desk. What was really interesting was that some of the same people who were my professors are now my colleagues. That took more an adjustment than anything else. . He added, 'iIt's more fun being a teacher than a student. My colleagues here are the best quality of all at the schools where I've taught. Everything was basically the same from the time I left. I could see a lot of growth in the nursing program. The change I could see was in me. I had matured a lot in the change from stu- dent to teacher. Also the objectives are different, and there is a completely different point of view, leanne Hoagland commented. Pettijohn found there was a role conflict when he returned here to teach. UI could see how the students were feeling from time to time. This motivat- ed me to make class more interesting and exciting. I try to model my teach- ing after teachers I admire most. After I came I found most students receptive and interested. They were quite pleas- ant and motivated as well. There are also other alumni who have come back to teach here. They are lill Miller, instructor of criminal jus- tice, Sharon Groh, assistant professor of music, Pamela Shaw, instructor of secretarial science, Nancie Thomas, physical education instructor and coordinator of Intramurals, lay Adcox, also physical education instructor and defensive line coach of the football team, and Hilda Buckles, instructor of nursing. Other reasons aside, former students are leading exciting careers-some of them at Missouri Western! - THERESA ZAWODNY All alumni agreed upon one thing-at home teaching is where they want to be.

An instructor can order a pre- pared media presentation, he can have one produced, or an individual student may come in and view or hear a pre- sentation at his convenience. HA media presentation can enhance what you do in a lecture. Some stu- dents learn more easily from visuals, said Max Schlesinger, IMC co- ordinator. The services provided by the IMC have changed over the years to meet the changing needs of the campus. At one time the IMC was mainly a distri- bution center. With the addition of ex- panded production facilities came a major emphasis on the way the materi- als are used. . 'That kind of stuff is really neat-it's fantastic-it's taken three years and we've hardly even started yet, Schle- singer said.

The de- partment is designed to support col- lege business, academic records, and the major in Data Processing. 'Our function is to serve both aca- demics and the administration. The Computer Center is part of the busi- ness affairs, we report to the Vice President of Business Affairs, project coordinator Rick Iver stated. 'When we speak of academics we are referring to faculty and students, administration includes the president, vice-president, and the deans.

'Most of our service for the admin- istration is keeping track of student in- formation and also we keep much in- formation stored for library use, lvers noted. 'One of the most important projects that happened this year was the com- pletion of the long range plan for com- puting at MWSC. This will lead to the eventual replacement of our current computer by a more contemporary piece of equipment, allowing for better service to the academic and adminis- trative areas of the college, Solomon said. Photos by Craig Drath 'We've been working on the plan for about a year. lt began in April 1979 and the initial report completed in lan- uary 1980. Long range planning is a continual process. Goals of the 1979- 80 school year will be reviewed and see if goals were met or why not. New plans may come out of review,' Solo- mon continued. The computer is a beneficial instru- ment. When used, it stores much infor- mation, but to be beneficial it requires the need of many application systems. 'The purpose of the application sys- tem is to capture information for the user. Application systems take a very long time to complete. We always have a need for more application sys- tems to be written. We can't offer this because of limited staff, said lvers. 'Application systems take months, years, and may involve many areas of college within scope of the problem. Solomon added. Both Solomon and lvers explained the difficulties of computing. 'People who are not familiar with computer programming do not realize what's involved in communicating with the computer. The computer speaks its own language. Programming is diffi- cult, said lvers. A computer is a tool. You just don't tell a computer to do it and it does it, Solomon explained. 'Computer technology changes rap- idly, making many computers obsolete. Our computer was obsolete when we installed it five years ago. Now we're looking at a new computer to replace this one.

The areas we cover are the student record system, payroll, library periodical, capital inventory and alum- ni. This becomes a very involved pro- cess, Solomon concluded. - THERESA ZAWODNY 1 236! ROTC RCTC Rappelling down a mountainside, surviving in the water, finding one's way cross-country using a map and compass, and handling a gun expertly and safely- these are the objectives of the new adventure-training courses of- fered for the first time this year by the Department of Military Science. Known officially as Military Moun- taineering, Water Survival Training, Military Orienteering, and Smallbore Ri- fle Marksmanship, these classes are of- fered for the benefit of the entire stu- dent body- not just the ROTC cadets. I recommend these courses for sev- eral reasons, instructor Sgt. 1st Class Donald Landrum explained. l'They are enjoyable, they teach self-confidence, and they give people a chance to learn something new. They also help to con- dition a person physically-and that's an added benefit right now and when everyone is trying to get in better shape. l'I'd recommend them all-I had fun in all of them! This is the enthusiastic endorsement given to three of the programs already completed by agri- cultural economics major lody Martin. Mountaineering was scary, but it was fun, maintained this MWSC ju- nior from Gower, Mo. llWe rappelled down the side of the tower on the 'v-u-n..,-,,,n 'alumna-gg. ad enture courses add dimension other side of the campus.

We had to know how to tie knots-we learned it all. ul took rifle marksmanship because I enjoy shooting, she added. ill have my own gun and used to go out with my dad. In the class, they teach you how to sight your gun in different posi- tions and shoot at targets. Some in the class already knew how to shoot real good, but there was one girl who had never touched a gun before. They stress safety procedures a lot. Photos by Felix Renteria l learned a lot of things in the water survival class, continued this exper- ienced swimmer. 'They taught us basi- cally how to deal with panic. Sgt. Ma- jor Paul Adair teaches both swimmers and nonswimmers how to make flota- tion devices by trapping air with clothes, how to handle a capsized ca- noe, and generally how to stay alive in the water under adverse conditions. The fourth class, orienteering, pro- vides a basic understanding in the use of Compasses and maps. This skill proves worthwhile to campers who need to find their way through the woods without getting lost. 'lWe hope, in the next year or two, Landrum said, 'lto form orienteering and marksmanship clubs and get to- gether teams to participate in some of the invitational meets with other col- leges and universities. Both programs are growing in popularity as sports and are included in Olympic competition. The four military science courses add a new dimension to the college's phys- ical education offerings. Each class meets twice a week for half of one se- mester and counts as one PE credit hour. Not all colleges are able to offer this unique training adventure for their students. -THERESA POWELL An ROTC cadet ffar leftj shows good form while rappelling from a tower on west campus.

Matthew Burns Scgtt Saving Easier registration procedure sought by students and faculty Through a variety of changes over the next two years, the process most dreaded by students and faculty-reg- istration-will be streamlined and sim- plified. Registration is a familiar sight to re- turning students, but it is often a fright- ful experience to an unsuspecting freshman. However, over the years some students have found ways to beat the system. Lower division stu- dents, through wheeling and dealing, often register as upper division stu- dents or graduating seniors. With enrollment on the upswing, a better process is now in the works. With changes in the last two semesters and planned changes in the next four, the registration process is slowly being improved. Two different offices are planning changes: the Computer Cen- ter and Admissions and Records office. According to Marc Solomon, direc- tor of the Computer Center, registra- tion will be changed in two ways. 'lThe orange update card will be replaced with a red and white validation form. It will have the information already print- ed on it, rather than have students fill it out. 'Walk-in students, those who have not previously applied for admission, 238! Registration will be able to have their enrollment and fee cards punched at the College Center during registration. That will eliminate many errors and allow us to have a computer printout of students by the second week, rather than the fifth or sixth week. Solomon also stressed that if nothing in the time table was set back, pre-reg- istration might be a reality by the fall of 1981 or spring of 1982. A new com- puter is to be installed during the fall of 1980 as a preliminary step. One change through the admissions and records officesis mandatory advise- ment of all students, which would re- quire all students to obtain a signature from their adviser before registration. Another change that may affect reg- istration is mandatory declaration of a major after 60 credit hours. Although both changes are being studied by the administration, neither a final decision nor a date for implemen- tation have been determined. Registration has been a headache for all involved since the college became a four-year institution. It may become less of a hassle for the students and the administration in the future. - MIKE HOFFMAN The final 'Showdown' The sun came up like a freight train through a Kansas wheat field, fast and furious. The student looked up for the first time in six hours to greet the fiery ball with eyes the color of the dawn sky. He had three hours. Three hours to discover the secrets the notes, books, and study guides held. Finals week, to some people is a liv- ing hell. To others, such as Chris Hamil- ton, they are just like any other tests. All finals week means to me is I don't have to go to school some days and it will all be over in a week. Many students face finals week like a gunfighter facing a duel: do or die. Ac- cording to one student, A lot of my finals could kill my future in school. If I don't pass finals, I don't pass the se- mester. The answer to that problem for some students is to cram. But to others the budgeting of time is the solution to testing. Chuck Harvey, a senior Com- puter Science major said, ul try to study all my subjects every day and to keep up. That way I am prepared for finals when they do arrive. The student stumbles into the class- room thirty seconds before the teach- er. He shakingly takes a pen out of his pocket, mumbles a prayer and starts writing. Time seems to pass far too quickly. He finishes and leaves, for the next night of coffee, tobacco and texts is upon him. - DARRELL RILEY Scott Saving Finals are often the toughest tests of the year.

With Spratt Stadium near capacity, the program began with a long list of introductions of college officials and the Con- gressional Representative from the Sixth District, the Honor- able E. Thomas Coleman, who gave the commencement ad- dress. Coleman's speech, loaded with allusions to the failing econ- omy, indignities abroad, and referring to Soviet power and attempt of world domination, challenged the graduates with the question of whether the United States could remain num- ber one over the Soviet Union. The speech concluded with Abraham Lincoln's quote, Freedom will prevail. Following the address the graduates were announced. Cer- tificates and Associate Degrees were conferred on 114. Twenty received the Bachelor of Arts degree, 85 the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration degree and 89 the Bach- elor of Science degree. Eighty-one were conferred with the Bachelor of Science in Education degree, 16 with the Bachelor of Science in Technol- ogy degree, and five with the Bachelor of Social Work de- gree. Sixty-two summer graduates were conferred with degrees and three were commissioned into the United States Army. Forty graduated Cum Laude, nine Magna Cum Laude, and eight Summa Cum Laude. Commencement concluded with the Benediction by Evan Agenstein, a retired professor and member of the Board of Trustees, and the Recessional by the Missouri Western Sym- phonic Winds.

Graduates tleftl await their walk from the EngineeringfTechnology Building to Spratt Stadium. Commencement! 241 Maintenance keeps campus in top shape lf you think that getting out of bed early in the morning to shovel the walk is bad, how would you like to get up at 3 a.m. to clear 2.8 miles of sidewalks, plus several parking lots and a street? That's what MWSC's maintenance staff has to do, among their many oth- er duties here on campus. Larry Smith, director of the Maintenance depart- ment at Missouri Western, explained the procedure for snow removal. UThe dorms are given first priority during snow removal, Smith said. We clear it first so that the students from the dorms can reach the College Center for breakfast. This requires half of the crew, with the other half clear- ing Downs Driveg then the sidewalks and interior are given our attention. llWe've had every man from plumb- ers to electricians helping out during the big snows, Smith related. Every- one pitches in, especially getting all ac- cesses cleared for spring semester reg- istration. ' As far as students getting stranded during the winter, maintenance helps out all they can, but there are limita- tions. llWe do carry jumper cables and are always willing to let students use them, we don't usually assist, however. If any damage occurred while we helped them out, we could be held lia- ble in a law suit, he commented. Maintenance is also responsible for keeping 650,000 square feet of floors clean, with 19 custodians working in the evening, and 3 during the day. He said, We get lots of maintenance re- quests all the time. I meet with the var- ious crew leaders every morning to go over the requests - what type of ma- terials are required, the time it will take, and so forth. The requests we try to attend to first are those which interfere with holding class. We try to keep up the classrooms so that they are always usable. Outside jobs are given second All.. Tae- ill I1 Heil priority. The staff also maintains all Missouri Western's motor vehicles. The plant has its own auto shop where all securi- ty cars, vans, and the regular transport cars and trucks are taken care of. The only thing the shop cannot do is over- haul automatic transmissions. The vehi- cles are used until no longer service- able, then sealed bids are accepted for their purchase. 'll think all of the 46 employees are doing an exceptional job . . . we do have a large turnover, however, in the custodial staff, due to the low pay scale, Smith stated. The staff also takes care of Spratt Stadium and is in charge of shipping and campus mail distribution. Matt Burns Matt Burns Security protects campus The security office, located on the second floor of the College Center Building, is available to assist MWSC students 24 hours a day. The major purpose of the security department is to safeguard campus community and to provide service and protection. 0ne time a female student called in and asked for help in changing a flat tire. One of the officers got the tire changed for her. As soon as he got it changed, her boyfriend came out from behind another car and said, 'Thanks, ' Al Forsen remembered. The security officers patrol campus 24 hours a day, seven days a week. They are all deputized by the Buchan- an County Sheriff and have full police- arrest power on-and off-campus. They are dedicated to their work and enjoy it as well. l'Parking is the major problem. Stu- dents do not obey the regulations that they agreed to when registering their cars. They don't put their stickers on and try to park in the visitor's lot or in reserved spots. They don't realize we have ways of finding out because we can use city records, local license bu- reaus, and computers to find out who owns that car. Many students don't worry about it. They just say, lSo what. Maintenance man, Willis Bullock tleftj, who is constantly in demand, repairs one of the many street lights on the campus, After confirming the time, lim Whitham fabovej of Security writes out a parking violation and places it on the wind- shield. it's a dollar,' and go ahead and violate the traffic rules, he said. llCompared to other colleges, Forsen states, 'our parking manage- ment is one of the better types. Peo- ple who complain are the ones who haven't visited another college. The farthest anyone would have to walk is one-half mile from West Col- lege Drive to East College Drive. Forsen doesn't foresee any additional parking lotsgin the near future because the lots are only 982, full on MWSC with parking still available in the E and F lots. llThere's very little crime to deal with. Outsiders talk about thefts, but they're seldom reported if they even occur. The students are mature and very orderly, Forsen boasts. llWe get a variety of problems. Like one time a man called to have us in- form his wife that after changing the right front wheel on her Pinto, he for- got to tighten the bolts. Another time, the biology depart- ment called to inform us that some- body was turning the bottles that are in the mice's cages around. This always seemed to happen on Friday. So one Friday, one of the security officers was posted in a room across from the labo- ratory. Nobody entered the room, so finally the officer went in to investigate. The perpetrator was already in action. lt was just another rat, Forsen laughed. Case solved.

Marie Minor, senior, is given some general instructions on interviewing by placement director Bill Kuechler. Mark Watkins Mark Watkins Placement Center offers assistance to students Miss College held a fear that her de- gree was not one of the most desired. Mr. Senior was just beginning his quest to be placed in an occupation upon graduation. Mr. Alumni had returned to college in hopes of finding a new job. Where did these three individuals go to find assistance? The College Place- ment Center. The College Placement Center is lo- cated in Room 102 of the Student Ser- vices !Classroom Building. Its staff in- cludes Mr. Bill Kuechler, his secretary Nancy Kuntz, and two work study people. 'tlt is a center that offer assistance to interested prospective students, whether alumni or persons who have taken courses here. Through registra- tion with our center, these individuals are eligible in finding assistance in ca- reer opportunitiesf' Bill Kuechler, off- campus placement coordinator stated. llEvery person who has registered with placement services has a creden- tial file that is kept for eternity. The file belongs to the person, but is adminis- tered under the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act and the policies of the institution, Kuechler explained. The file itself is important in many ways. lt assists during the job interview and is sent to many different compan- ies in which the applicant is interested. The file serves as a portable storage space for information about the job applicant. The College Placement Center has many resources that help the prospec- tive registrant in career opportunities. One of the most prominent aids is the resource library which contains litera- ture of hundreds of companies. How- ever, not all companies listed in our re- source library interview on MWSC campus, Kuechler commented. Also the bulletin board located at the west entrance of the SSIC Building lists a wide range of job offers throughout the different areas of the country, Kuechler said. 'lEvery year we ask twenty compan- ies to evaluate the placement center and all the companies rate the center excellent to outstanding. The physical facilities for interviewing are rated comfortable, warm and convenient, Many companies say they enjoy inter- viewing here, he said. llln the fall of the year the Mobile Oil Corporation comes to Missouri West- ern to train their campus interviewers. They chose our college because of convenience of location to K.C.l. and excellent facilities. Also Missouri West- ern has video-tape capabilities that al- low the Mobile Oil interviewers to re- view themselves, Kuechler added. Nineteen seventy-nine graduates of Missouri Western had outstanding overall success in the job market, both locally and nationally, and 85 percent of graduates who registered with the placement in 1979 received job offers. The most marketable degrees in 1979 were engineering, accounting, manage- ment, marketing, nursing, and secretar- ial science. The highest salary offered to an MWSC graduate of 1979 was 522,800 The graduate was employed by IBM and had a degree in accounting and management, he explained. Kuechler recommended, 'llf a graduate will contact 100 companies by mailing resumes and cover letters, in addition to interviews on campus, he will most assuredly find a job. - THERESA ZAWODNY Placement X245 , -1 , -'- Y T 7 W 1 'Graf ' 1 1v,1km 2':5:1 , I E E .,.:.4 .- , Hy. 4 ,ng , E 3 it i I Convenient Mid-Town Location Frederick at 19th ITIS MIDWEST FEDERAL SAVINGS Founded 1923 Insurance up to 540,000 for every saver plus sound management make your investment in our Associ- ation one of the safest on earth.
