When Imagination Challenges Reality r 1 E Walking into another year of college life, each i mind,s eye has its own vision of what reality will tempt us with in the coming year. The first day arrives and the bare walls of dorm rooms confront the bare walls of minds whose collec- tive imagination lifts us to unexplored planes of con- ciousness while urging us to higher plateaus and greater challenges. Then the year unfolds. Events occur, but not without the influence of each individual who em- barks on a journey to leave a unique imprint on an un-unique society. The challenge confronting The Grljfon is to re- cord the yearts events and portray each happening in a unique way while maintaining a level of journal- istic professionalism. It,s our attempt to leave an imprint while serving as a link between the surreal world of imagination and the black and white world of reality. Ultimately, the key is imagination, for the desire to be unique can only be realized ttwhen imagina- tion challenges reality?

Reality confronts us with many problems throughout a year. 1982 was no different as a Siberian winter, budget cutbacks and general problems of academic life placed a mammoth burden on the shoulders of students. Imagination allows us to feel dry on a wet day, rich when weare poor and smart even in the most embarrassingly stupid moments. Imagination gives us the inalienable luxury of taking things in stride.

F Dreaming is an unpaid vacation to the outer recesses of our imaginations. Though the vacation is unpaid, it definitely returns valuable dividends. Dreaming becomes a tool of the imagination in combating that with which reality might confront us. Despite the opinions of some, collegiate life can be trying and difficult and dreaming provides a release. Throughout the 1982 school year students needed the release to fight off the pressures of homework, exams and money woes. Dreaming is not an escape from reality but rather a rational way of dealing with it, and in dealing with it the student affirms that he is imaginatively alive. Dnydreaming and contemplating life's enigmas can be a most relaxing and rewarding experience. Imagine - Opening 11 i ! i ; r 1 Our minds are like the limbs of the tree silhouet- ted 0n the moon. In the haze of dusk the limbs take no clear definition. Likewise, as the 1982 school year began our minds were filled with thoughts and un- realized goals. As the night grows darker the moonlit silhouette becomes clear and definite. Similarly, as 1982 progressed ideals and goals became clearer and more defined. Thus, through an imaginative synthe- sis we arrive at the ultimate moment when the silhouette takes on a clear form, and our thoughts and goals become fully realized. L Imagination is giving form to the formless in the blackness of a midnight sky. 12wOpening r 1.3: 17 Dark nights become clear and defined when silouheued by an eerie moon.

Familiarity can blind you too? Many students attempt to escape this blinding fa- miliarity. Be it losing one,s self in a research lab or losing oneas self in an attempt to assemble words on a page or paints on a pallet, each student relies on the x imagination to momentarily disengage himself from i the usualness of reality. By disengaging ourselves i 1 swmmtumrt-w- :wr-v . s . from the present, we dissect 1982, shaking our heads in disgust 0r smiling with satisfaction, knowing all the while that it is but a part of our total personality.

Before the leaves change colors, and the cooler north winds blow, one can sense the end of summer in the pre-autumn air. Al- most simultaneously, one wonders where the summer went, and with careful reminiscing, can come to the realization that it was an eventful summer. Summer begins with the first days in June, accompanied with a rise in temperature. Temperatures did rise in the hot spot Middle East, as the Israelis launched an air--to-ground attack on Iraq's Orisk Nuclear Power Plant, destroying it as well as hopes for complete Middle East peace. Things continued to stay on the warming trend. On June 12, the major league baseball players went on strike for 50 days, paralyzing one of America's most popular pastimes. Play did resume in time for a delayed AII-Star game, but the arrangement for baseballts second season left many fans feeling struck out. lfJune could be described as the warming trend, then July could easily have been the boiling point, with murders, trage- dies, and Cinderella weddings to fill its share of days. 16 i Summer OnJuly10, in nearby Skidmore, Mo., Kenneth Rex McElroy made national news without leaving his truck. He was shot to death on Main Street of that little town, in the presence of 60 onlookers. The slaying itself wasn't so unusual, but the fact that of the 60 spectators, none of them reported or admitted seeing anything, which had local police and FBI officials baf- fled and annoyed. While large masses of rioters stormed the streets of London, England, turning the usually peaceful policeman known as bobbies into aggressive riot cops, a large mass of people were crowding into a popular Kansas City hotel for a Tea Dance, not even suspecting that 1 13 of them were not to exit the building alive. On July 17, two of the three catwalks in Kansas City's Hyatt Regency Hotel collapsed upon each other, then crashed upon a packed dance floor, killing 1 13 persons, and maiming, at least physically, 188 others. As if to momentarily take the world away from its troubles, Prince Charles, Lady Diana, and all nations were treated to the grand pagentry of one of Great Britian's most popular tradi-V tions a royal wedding.

IBUmDal-a..mulluuullqu-wtjrjtfial spectacle, held in the Cathedral of St. Paul in London, on July 29. Political problems and new policies cast a long shadow over the month of August. On the 4th, St. Joseph citizens elected a new type of city government. Even though the mayorl city council, and the municipal judges still exist, now the city manager has been addedl who is a government official that runs the City, leaving the mayor as something of a figurehead. The city council will act like a watchdog, to keep everything in line, with the municipal judges retaining their original power and privileges. While the ballots were being counted and recorded on the 5th, some 15,000 air controllers decided to take an indefinite vacation, against government warnings of reprisals. An out- raged President Reagan not only refused the Pacific Air Traffic Controllers Organization's demand for higher wages and shor- ter working hours, but also delivered a work-or-be-fired ulti- matum. When the controllers ignored the order, Reagan announced their termination and opened up channels for hiring new controllers. Even though President Reagan suffered through some tense days when controllers from Canada, Spain, and France re- fused to handle U.S. flights, his stubbornness paid off when those countries re-opened their airways. Just weeks before the opening of another collegiate aca- demic year, the US. Congress finally passed Reaganls hard- pressed tax and budget cut package, opening the door to a new age of government and economics. This budget package caused a rippling effect upon all state governments, and in turn, on all state-funded organizations and programs, espe- cially those intended for college students. This then sub- merged the average student in a wave of tuition, books, and living expense increases, turning some students away from college education. And so the summer winds blow slightly softer, bringing a sigh of back-to-school to those who can afford it, as well as wishful thinking of more promising summers, in the future.

Dorm Dazed Irving was one of approximately 300 new preppies enrolling in college this fall. As the car approached the college, Irv- ing found it more difficult to remain at- tentive to what his father was saying. 7 a Yes Irving, how well I remember my 'first taste of college life; all those gor- geous young dames with . . . Norman please! i am trying to tell you son where I placed everthing. Now dear, your chocolate chip cookies are in the top left hand flap of your. . . It was everything that Irving could do to keep himself from becoming more nauseous than he already was. But- terflies were churning inside of him. He had already forgotten which button to push to start the washing machine, let alone the thought of sharing his home with eight strangers for the entire year. Irving was officially on his own. These are thoughts that haunt many students as they begin to plod through the adventures of entering college for the first time. New Housing Director Bob Burchurd realizes this. We try to orga- nize and get as many activities as we possibly can for the traditional week of DORM Daze, he explained. DORM DAZE was organized by for- 20 l Dorm Daze mer Housing Director Joe Vigliaturo. The idea was to set up something that broke down those lonely, culture shock feelings of anxiety that new students have. It allows people to become more acquainted with other individuals who think and feel the same way. At the same time, it enables everyone to kickoff the year on a positive note. Three days of events included a cook- out, the Icebreaker Dance, a game day which was postponed due to rain, and of course, the all-time favorite Waterslide. Everyone is well aware of the fact that in order to become acquainted with one another there is a certain amount of effort that is required from each person. By getting involved, being themselves and having a good time, people achieved the goal of becoming better ac- quainted. . So, to all of the lrvings lurking around campus who are struggling to adapt to campus life, your chocolate chip cookies are in the left hand flap of your suitcase! The bucket runneth over as Marc Collins dumps yet another cup of water in lames Stewartts container at the wacky waterslide. v.2 moa. SEPTEMBER ', '4 ,. ,1 t. Dorm Daze 21 ARMSTRONG Guess Whols Coming to Frosh Day? no one In the interest of making the adjustment to college life as easy as possible, an official Welcome Freshman Day was founded on Sept. 10. The purpose was the Student Affairs Association trying to orientate freshmen students to college life, explained Bob Bur- chard, coordinator of housing. . The date was set after the first three weeks of classes so the .whole school could help solve any problems that may have come up. The morning lecture on campus survival was cancelled for lack of interest shown by the Freshmen. The simple reason No people, was cited by Burchard. A scheduling problem ob- viously was the cause for no attendance. Most freshman have to attend morning classes. The lecture was slotted for 10 am. until noon. The next step in initiating the college experience was a club introduction and cookout at the College Center. I The cheerleaders were there. The school combo played. Every conceivable club and organization was present. Free food was even provided. Sounds like a great time, doesn't it? It could've been except the guests of honor didn't show up. Who were these people beyond reach? Again, the entire freshman class. lld say a maximum of 20 freshmen showed, Burchard esti- mated with a twinge ofdisappointment. One problem that kept the people who did show from stick- ing around was the lack of seating, one onlooker guessed. No one really wants to stand in the hot sun. Afterall, the dorms are air conditioned! 22 l Frosh Day The largest crowd was drawn by Storm, a hard rock band from Maryville. The four-member band cranked out namebrand rock and roll until 11 pm. in the dorm courtyard. At the dance, people were almost comatose until four brave souls took a shot at boogying on the basketball court. The second song la Journey tunel brought five student couples and one older guest couple to the court. Freshman Leah Stracke commented, They're not a good dance band. Air Supply, Styx, and Franke and the Knockouts are good to dance to, but some of this hard rock trash they're playing is real hard to dance to. Within the next 20 minutes, selections from the fifties and sixties were played. Then the crowd was brought to their feet. It took a new song treminiscent of the almost diminished sum- merl, Rick Springfield's Jessie's Girl, to fill the court to capac- ity. That was at 9:45. From that time forward the dance could be considered a major accomplishment for Mr. Burchard, who or- ganized it. The last phase of Welcome Freshman Day ended with a bang. An encore was played. The groups left the stage after running 20 minutes overtime. Was Freshman Day a total failure or should it be repeated? No and yes. I thought the dance was a tremendous success, replied an exuberant Burchard. It's going to be strongly suggested as a project next fall. The work wasn't a total waste because it provided an opportu- nity. . . if only someone would have taken advantage of it.

Ah, but take heed to those soliciting gifts for it may be for a good cause. Ransom for the release of a hostage proved a worthy enough cause to those Greeks known as TKEs, as they collected dona- tions for the Muscular Dystrophy Foundation. TKE collected money for almost two hours at the corners of 28th and Mitchell and 22nd and Messanie before deciding to call in the Red Carnation Gang for a more effective means offund raising. Clad in pinstriped suits with red carnations on their lapeis, Doug Kean, Ben Weeks and Alan Schnitker rolled upto East Hills Mall in a big Caddy and kidnapped KQTV anchorwoman Mary Gresham as she was being interviewed on stage at the Muscular Dystrophy Telethon site. They then made her stand outside the TKE house, at 2740 Mitchell, and collect her own ransom from motorists stopped at the intersection. Stop traffic she did, as for once the hostage held her captors captive. Not only did she approach cars at the stoplight but half- way down the street as well . At the end of a long afternoon of fund raising, Ms. Gresham was returned to the stage in the Mail, intact, and $1310 was turned over to the MD. Foundation for research and develop- ment of a cure. ' Then, the Greeks, haunted by thoughts of their Sicilian ances- tors, returned to fraternity headquarters to await yet another yearis hold up for health.

The event was the spirit rally and bon- fire on the eve of the Griffons football game against the Northwest Missouri State Bearcats. The spirit rally in the old gym was 15 minutes of sweat, inspiration, and en- thusiasm. The three team captains declared that they would Kick assll with some addi- tional hints for an attack comingfrom the crowd. A torch-lit funeral procession was led by the Griffon band, football team, and the cheerleaders. The torches shone in the night like the first beams of light on a crisp autumn morning. The smoke rose from the fire like clouds of dust after a stampede. The Cheers became louder and faster. The band played Taps as the Bearcat Was raised to the top of a wooden tee- pee-shaped structure and was lit by the torches. Slowly the stuffed figure was engulfed in flames until nothing remained on the wood. The crowd chanted Kill! Kill! The sign-off tune from The Carol, Burnett Show was sung and the animal's figure was gone. The smoke became blacker and formed a screen in mid-air. The crowd became rowdier with a cry for the blood of the Bearcats. Flamestravaged the re- maining structure. The night air was cool and brisk, but tempers and determination were hot and ran rampid. Throats grew raw and voices cracked. Faces grew red and the crowd grew larger. People milled about excitedly. On such a chilly mid-September night sweat wouldn't be thought to pour, but it did. It glistened on cheerleaders, band- members, and ecstatic onlookers. Each flame flashed with the hope and 26 l Bonfire determination of the individual players. The mood and attitude was totally positive and the mutilation of the Bear- cats the next afternoon seemed inevita- ble.

Missouri Western State College and Northwest Missouri State University finally encountered on the football field at Spratt Sta- dium and the Griffons did the beating, 20-8. Butthere's more involved than physical roughhousing. The feeling between the two adversaries has been unattractive for years, and the playing of the long-anticipated game served as release for many years of pent-up MWSC frustrations. The seat of the problems lay in events occurring before most MWSCers came to this school. A brief recounting ofthe engendering, divorcing and reconcil- iation of relations between the two Northwest Missouri neigh- bors: Fall, 1969 - MWSC joins the playground of four-year institu- tions. Spring, 1974 e NWMSU Athletic Director Ryland Milner informs MWSC Athletic Director Charlie Burri of the severing of the NWMSU-MWSC basketball contract. The official reason: altercations among spectators. The real reason: altercations - perhaps NWMSU fears of MWSC basketball dominance? Possibly lack of understanding? Definitely. Spring, 1974-Fall, 1981 a MWSC and NWMSU remain chaste to each other on the gridiron and basketball court. The cause: NWMSU administrators who had raped the two schools ofan intense athletic rivalry. The method: refusal to submit to the wishes of both student bodies and athletic directors who were ready to rekindle the athletic relationship. A stalwart Criffon defense led by middle Iinebaker Robert Newhart $61 stands UP the Maryville fullback in yet another goal line stand. Spring, 1974 - the NWMSU Athletic Board of Controls votes to extend the ban on competition and then NWMSU President Dr Robert Roster approves the decision. Fall, 1976 - MWSC Joins the Central States Intercollegiate Conference, eliminating any hopes that the Griffons would join NWMSU in the Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic Association while raising some probing questions. Is Dr. John Mees, Vice PresidentofStudentAffairs at NWMSU and a key administrator in the abortions ofthe rivalry, attempting to seduce MWSC to join the MIAA? Mees, Secretary7treasurer of the financially afflicted MIAA, a conference desiring MWSC's membership, knows an MIAA membership for MWSC would guarantee a matchup with NWMSU. MWSC resists the temptation. Fall, 1978, e A Maryville member of the State's Coordinating Board of Higher Education suggest a union of the two schools. Such intercourse between the two schools would result in a university, said Lela Bell, the ideas proponent. MWSC, the com- muter campus, would stress two-year programs, and NWMSU, the live-in campus, would stress four-year and graduate pro- grams.

MWSC students and administrators balk at the plan. Fall, 1981 .- MWSC ravages NWMSU in their maiden meet- ing in pigskin action. Along this seven and one half year journey, MWSC and NWMSU students have shared friends, lovers and hatred be- tween themselves. From this Iove-hate relationship has come the largest home football crowd in MWSC history and the seed ofa rivalry with its best years yet to come. Perhaps, NWMSU has finally accepted the reality, that MWSC isntt about to take anything lying down.

Murphy, coming offthe bench, had led his team 29 yards away from a game tying touchdown. However, as the next 12 seconds ticked off the clock a record crowd of nearly 6,000 watched ecstatically as junior linebacker Tom Early sealed the Golden Griffon's win with a 68 yard inter- ception return for a touchdown. Early was swarmed by what seemed like thousands of his crazed teammates as the victory celebration began 23 seconds prematurely, but the proud Griffons gladly took the delay of game penalty on the meaningless extra point attempt that en- sued, to bask in the sunshine and glory of their emotion filled 20- 8 victory. I don't think the quarterback ever saw me out there, re- called an elated Early. It wasn't a very good pass. He kind of Iobbed it. The ball was up, so I decided to go for it. And go for it he did.

Newhart recorded 19 tackles, a quarterback sack, and an interception to finalize the verdict. . Defensive bookends Rick Nared and Tim Boender did yeo- man work in turning the Northwest sweep inside, allowing tack- les Alex Starke and Steve Marlay their share of tackles. Outside linebacker Kevin O'Connell struck with eight fourth quarter stops in an overall sustained defensive effort. On offense the usual big play antics of the Hoskins and Lewis Show tTim and Marc respectivelyl was somewhat subdued as a staunch Bearcat defense thwarted the first Griffon possession. Proper adjustments were made on the sidelines and on the next drive the Griffs utilized the llquick out pattern taking advantage of the miles of room being given the speedy duo. Griffon career rushing leader Rodney Stephenson slashed hs way through the Bearcat vice for 131 yards on 25 carries. Stephenson had to take up the slack after running mate Dan Jacks was beset with an early game hand injury. Junior quarterback Greg Fetters completed all of 24 passes for 174 yards in leading the Griffon offense to victory number three on the season. The win is a sweet one the entire student body can savor dearly. Gone is the stigma that Northwest is on a higher level. The game inaugurated a rivalry that is sure to thrive in the years to come. Next season the series moves north up 71 highway to Maryville. It will definitely be hard to top this one. At least in the eyes of Griffon followers. Maryville Game l 31 ome one hundred or so years ago, Joseph Robidoux founded St. Jo- seph, the town which houses our college.

The principal attractions were housed in the former Plymouth Building. On the first floor exhibits ranged from antiques to The Candy Shop's homemade goodies. Each booth was arranged to create the atmosphere of an old market. Of course, what festival would be 1 8 complete without a beer garden.

The collection consists of letters, poems, novels or any other writings by women from Northwest Missouri and Northeast Kansas. The writings have been divided into three periods: Pioneer Times t1850-1880T, Spanning the Centuries t1880-1920T and Only Yesterday t1920-1950T. These divisions enable people to see the changing of the times as conveyed by the writings. As part of a two year program the project was presented to neighboring committees by the Reader's Theater. The readings were accentuated by slides and photography compliments of Dr. Francis Flanagan. Jane Frick, Woodie Howgill and Isabel Sparks coordinated the program in an effort to compi Ie a bibliography of writers during that period in the 10 county area. The project was sponsored by the Woments Studies Program and supported humanities grants from Kansas and Missouri. Many of the writings were not originally intended for publica- tion. They were merely written for personal enjoyment. What better way to pay tribute to these women who helped tame the Midwest than to preserve the uninhibited words oftheir pen.

The activity is continuous from the audition until the final curtain call. The moment tryouts begin, the air is filled with anxiety and tension. The cast and crew of the Waltz of the Torreadors were no exceptions. Weeks before opening nightthe Fine Arts Theater buzzed with noise and action. The actors not only had to practice with con- struction crews all around but the crews had to work with the actors all around as well. Frustration, laughter, anger and understanding are as integral a part in the success of a play as remembering lines and putting on grease paint. Any thoughts of being individuals soon disappear as each member realizes they must work together as a team for things to run smoothly. ' , Actors tripped over electrical cords as crewman got in one another's way. Only a good-natured atmosphere made co- existence possible. At last, opening night arrived. With it came no evidence of all the sawdust, paint and canvas which once cluttered the stage. Now the stage was adorned with a beautiful set which appeared to be a genuine bedroom and study. The yards of material which once laid limply in the corner now came together in the form of authentic costumes. Lighting and sound crews clutched their headphones and spotlights in antici- pation of seeing what weeks of technical jargon would look and sound like in the final production. Alas, all the aggravation and tension lifted as the lights came up and the production began. A feeling of satisfaction came over the crew as they were coming to realize that all the work had result- ed in a job well done. Producing authentic costumes for the play, Barb Alexander perfects the image to be created in the dress. 34 X Play ttWhere the good times are hoppemngt 2414 South 4th One Block off US. 36 STRUBE Darrell ercussio musical also Dar Darrell, a s mer with the 1 love of drums started long b got his first c when he was s ttMy mom whether I wa ever.

Darrell, a senior music major, has been a drum- mer with the marching band for four years. But his love of drums started long before his love of drums started long before his affiliation with the band. He got his first drum at age six, and started lessons when he was seven. 11My mom and dad told me to make a decision, whether I wanted to go into music, sports, what- ever. They were behind me totally. They also told me that whatever I wanted to do, 11d have to stick with it? Darrell has been playing for 14 years under the direction of Dennis Rogers, now a teacher here.

He adds, I don't want to have a class of about 40 students and not even know ten of them. Personal contact is one of the reasons Darrell likes attending school here. With William Mack,- band director, Darrell has learned a discipline of play- ing, outside the marching formation. He says, Mr. Mack has helped me improve some of my playing techniques. All the teachers have helped me im- prove. Marching band gets to be a pain. I can't say it doesn't. But 95th, of the time, 36 i Darrell Cobb 'II it's great Inaddition to the drums, Darrell plays all the percussion instruments. These in- clude the marimba, bells and xylo- phone. He says, I feel that when I start to play, there is a type ofelectricity thatjust comes out. I don't try to hold that back. His visibly apparent joy comes from a feeling that he was given a certain talent and he should show how he enjoys it. He rates religion, music and his family as uppermost in his life. I know people say that they have the best parents in the whole wide world. We weren't the richest family around, but whenever I needed the money for lessons or sticks, I got it. I want to repay them for all they've done. Moneywise, I know I can never pay them back. It's gone. But I want to show people how much I love the drums, how much I love playing. I couldn't just stand up there with a straight face. If there should ever come a time that DarreIIcouId not play, he would still try to be involved in the business aspect of music, either as a seminar director for musicians or a talent scout for colleges, or in some position where he would still have a very close relationship with mu- sic. There's got to be something else out there in the music field to do with your mind. For now, Darrell is smiling and play- ing away, and saying, I'm just crazy about drums. I love 'em!

A buzzing crowd awaits the arrival of superstar drummer Buddy Rich and his Captain Space Or- chestra. When the band took the stage the crowd greeted them with applause, whistles and shouts of approval. Buddy Rich, dressed in gray slacks and a pink- and-white-striped bermuda shirt, ac- knowledged the crowd with a wave and smiles. But then the courtesies ceased as he seated himself behind the drums and began the first tune. One wouldn't guess he's a real bastard, remarked one guy who had the rare privilege of meet- ing Rich once. Throughout the show Rich remained aloof and unscathed by the music. He remained on his pedestal, pounding out rythmic arrangements of various jazz favorites. Tunes were introduced with a short in- terlude by Rich on his modest trap set. He yelled song titles to the band over the rythmic beating of his drums then with a countdown the band kicked in. One example stands out as being the height of rudeness on stage. In between two tunes, Mr. Rich began whistling to himself. Ignoring the crowd and just looking off into space whistling a little tune, he commented, Boy it's hot up here, is it hot out there? You ought to be up here. Remaining almost religiously silent, Rich showed the instrumental finess that has made him famous. With the grace of a swan he methodically pounded his skins. His hands and arms seemed to be moving in slow motion, but his sticks ab- solutely flew. Typical of all jazz performances, the soloist remained the highlight of the show. Tenor and soprano sax soloists, Steve Marcus milked his horn for a good five minutes. His improvisional jazz mesmerised the crowd with screaming highs and full rich lows, done to a tune called Midnight. Not to be outdone, Andy Driscol on alto sax and flute took the crowd for a short improvisional ride to the tune of Sand Box Blues. If one person has the power to be rude to his audiences yet thrill them all the while, it would have to be Buddy Rich. During a tune called Good News Rich made his drums talk. Beg for forgiveness would be a better term as he improvised a 10 minute solo on each and every part of his set, including cymbals, rims, drums and even his own sticks! Rich did everything in his power to annihilate his audience as his face turned every color in the rainbow while he grimaced and winced at every motion. Though Buddy Rich is rude on stage, his concerts are definitely events to be remembered by jazz and rock enthu- siasts alike. World renowned drummer Buddy Rich intensely bangs the skins in a concert at the Missouri Theater. Buddy Rich i 37 . v-.e-...

As with any new craze sweeping the nation, some group must spearhead the fad and remain in the vanguard. This position, when pertaining to the shuffle, has been passed into the hands of the fraternities, especially Phi Sigma Epsilon.

When asked about the Luau, Major Fleck stated, I telephoned to tell them that any party they hosted would be raided. I also let it be known that the police officers now have orders to ar- rest any minor in possession of alco- hol, no exceptions. l'There are several reasons why this push has started, Major Fleck contin- ued, the first of which is that it is against the law for a minor to be drink- ing. Second is that most of the persons lllulllm llll It's a nice night for a warm fire, isn't it? lld be arrested. oor timing of the nent, Phi Sig Pres- and a weary band 3d the countryside 1ther.

Finally, we have decided that were just not going to give minors the easy oportunity to drink. We know we can't stop minors from drinking, but we will do what we can to hinder it. In reference to the Luau, Bushnell said, llI don't see why the police didn't threaten Lambda Chi's Beef and Beer Bust, and then were ready to climb all over our party. When informed that the police had not yet inacted their program, Bushnell only replied, Well, they sure picked a real funny time to start. Paul Pioch, Lambda Chi Alpha Pres- ident, stated that the reason why the Beef and Beer Bust went off without a hitch was because he had talked to the police before the party. Pioch told po- lice that ifthe party caused any kind of disturbance, then to notify him and the problem would be corrected. Major Fleck also pointed out that the fraternities could stand to lose. Ifa per- son becomes intoxicated at a fraternity party and leaves only to become in- volved in an accident, then the chap- ter could be held responsible for any injuries resulting. If a suit was filed, then the fraternity could stand a good chance of losing their chapter. We're not out to shutdown the fra- ternities' social events, Major Fleck con- cluded, but we will enforce the law. From the halls of Hollywood to the stages of Broadway come some of the greatest dance acts in the world, but none can match the shuffle being done on the streets of St. Joseph.

The evening of Oct. 8 found dor- mies scurrying about in the dimly-lit courtyard. Individual shopping bags overflowed with such easily found paraphenalia as dog collars, Ziggy dolls, and Halloween masks. The event was a dorm scavenger hunt sponsored by the College Center Board and organized by Joyce Helm and Jeanette Siress. Residents madly ran from door to door and breathlessly asked for the items on their lists. Some ofthe objects were the standard collegiate Mickey Mouse watch; a bottle of the imported French water, Perrier; a cow chip tmore numerous on campus after the Ag Olympics1; and a signature from the cramped hand of Student Govern- ment Association President Kendell Misemer, whose evening was conti- nuously interrupted by participants. Only two pieces of the required toasted raisin bread and one lowly prune made it back to CCB headquar- ters in room 105 by the 8:30 deadline. Officials rummaged through bags for half an hour until it was deter- mined who brought back most of the 19 items. Those who placed were: Rhonda Cooley and Meredith Knight, third place with nine objects; Marney Jones and Laura Bellman, second place with 12 items and a time of29 minutes; and first place wentto Brenda Preston with 12 items and a 27 minute time. Scavenger hunt t 41 ne would think that a band en- tertaining a reputation like the Atlanta Rhythm Section would have drawn a bigger crowd. But two hours prior to showtime, less than 400 tickets had been sold. Hopefully there will be a big gate tur- nout, commented one member of the road crew. With hits such as Alien and Co- caine Charie lining the charts the con- cert should have been sold out within a matter of hours. The opening band, a group called Robin, failed to arouse the small crowd with a tune called Devil in Dis- guise, a song written about the women walking along Hollywood Blvd. How- .. -u..-.. --vwwmv -.. Big Time Band: Small Town Crowd ever, their attempt at headbanging rock'n roll went both unnoticed and un- appreciated by the crowd. Robin's attempt at big concert sound and dress was also beyond the conserva- tive Midwestern crowd. A prancing, dancing lady clad in pink pants, which appeared as if they were spray-painted on her posterior, made herselfquite visi- ble throughout the show without serving any viable purpose. Unfortunately, the lead singerts talent on the 12 string guitar was oversha- dowed by 50,000 watts of power and a furious attempt to destroy the guitar strings. All at once darkness penetrated the senses, the crowd grew silent and the sound of a full orchestra playing a majes- tic entrance theme filled the air. Electricity filled the air as the Atlanta Rhythm Section took the stage and stunned the still small crowd with their opening number, Champagnejam. With the poetic lyrics and the high striking harmonies that made them fa- mous, ARS dazzled the crowd with chart busters like, I Am So Into You and Imaginary Lover. The band assumed an almost playful attitude on stage. On one occasion, the lead singer picked out a shapely security guard as she walked in front of the stage.

If ever there was a total crowd turn- around, this concert would have to be a prime example. During the opening act, it was tough to get people moving to the music, but when ARS took the stage there was no stopping the clapping, dancing and screams of approval. Large Time, a song dedicated to Lynyrd Skynyrd, left the crowd wanting more. More is exactly what they got as the band kicked into one of their top hits, l'Spooky. The band closed with a boogie woogie rock 'n roll number, only to return for one last encore. The crowd cheered them on and the band ended with a tune about their hometown of Doralville, Ga. appropriately entitled Doralville. The concert proved a success in the end as the small turnout got to see a big name band. The long hours of work prior to the concert had paid off. There was only one discipline prob- lem as two young men were arrested for choosing to ignore the no smoking signs placed liberally throughout the arena. The arrest was made, not so much be- cause they were smoking, but because of what they were smoking. But, then at least those two showed up.

ARS Concert l 43 ARMSTRONG NBA at MWSC nce again Missouri Western was the site for the Kan- sas City Kings preseason training camp. And local roundball enthusiasts were treated to an inside look : at what it takes to be a professional at the NBA level. : l Coach Cotton Fitzsimmons lead his squad through two-a- l day drills in the old gymnasium. Each practice was open to the l public, free of charge. The sessions began at 10 am. and 6 1 pm. and lasted two to three hours. Twenty players were invited to the camp, including seven . draft choices. Top draft choice Steve Johnson from Oregon State was a late arrival because of a contract squabble. But his debut was well worth the wait, as he dazzled his teammates as well as onlookers with a ferocious inside game that seemed unstoppable. The blay was very physical with more than the usual NBA style aggressiveness. Fans could tell that most of the rookies and free agents were fighting for their basketball lives. And the proven veterans, like Sam Lacey, were set on keeping their' startingjobs. Promising newcomers to the Kings roster were 6'9 Cliff Robinson who came over from the New Jersey Nets in the Otis Birdsong deal, and former University of Missouri star Larry Drew. Both will give the Kings added depth at the forward and point guard positions. Stalwarts from last year's semifinalists like Phil Ford and Reggie King looked sharp in camp. King was supposedly in- P volved in renegotiating his contract with the Kings. He has l plenty to bargain with after leading the Kings in scoring El throughout the duration of last year's playoffs. All in all the camp was a real showcase for what lies ahead l for Kansas City Kings basketball. And as Coach Fitzsimmons l stressed promisingly, the 1981 version is the best group he's l ever had to start a season in the twelve years hels been a coach I in professional basketball. That says a lot for a team that fin- ished in the top four last year. l l After long hours ofpre-season practice at MWSC, The Kings finally saw exhibi- i tion action at the Civic Arena. Here, Reggie King GU pops for two over a Portland Trailblazer. 44 i KC Kings Intramural Indulgence Intramural activities on the campus flourished throughout the month of October as Intramural Director Faye Burchard began her second campaign as coordinator of events and activities. Mrs. Burchard was for the most part pleased with the proceedings but felt more student participation was a top phorhy. Intramural flag football kicked-otf the month of events with both men's and women's divisions of play. The Week- end Warriors took top honors on themen's side flagging down the Wild Ones in the championship encounter. The Spurts were the overwhelming winners on the four- mmnwomengdemkmgthnarmndrdjnmumamem. Volleyball nets filled both the arena and old gymnasium forthe next intramural function as 14 teams signed up for the spiking extravaganza. Teams were broken up onto both men's and women's power divisions as well as respective recreation divisions. The Science and Math Scientists took the men's power play while the Weekend Warriors captured the recreation division championship. In women's play, the Road Runners netted the power division title and Suite 428 was successful in winning the lowerwvbmn. For an added treat during Homecoming festivities, the Intramural department again presented an Intramural Spec- tacular to entertain students and prime them for an exciting Kearney State football battle.

No, it's not a vision of an inflationary future, just the 1981 Homecoming Ca- sino Night. Upon entering the casino the atmos- phere was intense. People were lined back to the door, waiting with sweaty palms for their $600 wad of bills. Some will be victims of defeat and bust while others will Victoriously sweep their piles from the boards in a gleeful euphoria. 46 1 Casino night 1.. m-..a..uuir .......... The many moods present in this at- mosphere were wide ranging, from the highrollers to the intimidated amateurs inquiring, How do I play Blackjack? Traveling from table to table, the ex- citement grew more intense. Cut the cards ma'am. Cut the cards. Here we go. Hit me one more time. The distressed gambler wiped sweat from his brow. I'm gonna kill myself. I'm gonna go too far. 14,16, 21. Pay21. What a relief. As the excitement and money dwindled at the Black Jack table people drifted elsewhere. It's not difficult to catch this gambling fever, as many students found out. Linda Whitford, resident assistant and dorm council member, took time out to share herenthusiasm. Casino night has been here as long as I can remember. The enthusiasm is great. Most of our publicity is by word of mouth. Since Casino Night has become such a tradition, everyone just remem- bers and when its time approaches, the word just travels around. l'Another point which is to be made is that without the dedication and generos- ity of the Accounting Club, Phi Mu, Dorm Council, the many sponsors and the talented auctioneer, Scott Crawford, Casino Night just wouldn't be the suc- cess that it is, she said. Following the closing of the tables the excitement was actually just building. This was the moment that everyone waited for in anxious anticipation, the auction. The first item to be auctioned was an extravagant Coors Mirror that went for $10,000. Gift certificates from the Half Price Store, Burger King, Wendy's, Barbosa's, Red Lobster, LHoerty Sound, Belt Bowl, Curiosity Shop, Bud Baker's Clothing Store and Fashion Found also sold for thousands. Though nobody lost the proverbial shirts off their backs everyone experi- enced the tension and drama of Vegas- type gambling.

Although off to a slow start, the tal- ent show picked up momentum and climaxed with peak performances by several talented college students. Nineteen musical and variety acts displayed their abilities before a ca- pacity crowd in the Fine Arts Theater. I was really nervous, said Mike Spencer, talent show committee chair- man. We held three auditions prior to homecoming week and we only had two acts show up. We decided to let anyone enter without auditioning. That was the way to do it. The show went just fine and the talent was the bestever. Four judges evaluated the acts and distributed the cash prizes among the best acts in both musical and variety catagories. The judges - Karen Balls, Carl Butcher, Richard Crumley, and Leroy Maxwell - evaluated the acts for each division. The first prize was $50 each. Sec- ond place finishes and $40 went toJim Wagy and Rob Shepard for a percus- sion duet and Sue Bachman for her presentation of You Light Up My Life in sign language. Collecting $30 for their third place finish were a vocal rock band, Flash- Fire, and Phi Sigma Epsilon Little Sis- ters with their version of The Night Before Homecoming. The master of ceremonies, Mike Bushnell, found time in between jokes to present the grand prize of $60 to the over-all win- ner, Osimaan. Everyone seemed to have a good time, said Spencer. Bushnell had the audience totally captured between the acts. The queen finalists' fashion show at intermission added that extra touch of class that made the talent show a total success. The Talent Show provided MWSCstudents with a chance to 'strutt their stuff including SCA Pres- ident Kendall Misemer. Talent show i 47 No Pep To Rally Small crowd, lack of enthusiasm plague bonfire. ctivities of the annual bonfire were revamped a bit this year. An indoor pep rally was added to the events of Homecoming Eve, but there was little pep to be rallied. A small crowd showed for the pep rally held in the old gym. The queen and her court were announced and the senior foot- ball players were handed a round of applause. Overall, however, spirit was at a minimum. Only two con- tests were held, beard growing and pyramid building. Terri Mueller said, The pep rally seemed very unor- ganized. There wasn't enough contests and not enough stu- dents entered in the ones that we did have. Confronted with a dare, the band accepts the cheerleader's challenge to con- struct a larger pyramid.

That is why I applied for RA. Iresident assistantl in the dorms. I had to become friends with about 53 girls in my area of the dorm. It has been a good experience for me and will help me in my career goal. As a social work major, Jackie looks at her job in the dorms as more of a counseling role rather than a supervi- sory position. It was such an honor to become Homecoming Queen. That's some- thing I'll never forget, said Jackie. I'll also always remember my role as an R.A.

MCATEE Homecoming Queen I 51 I Love a Parade! ooking out from a great distance through City Hall Park, it looks as if someone has let thousands of multi-colored balloons loose. The figures of human beings become shapeless blurs of color milling about in the early morning light. Twenty-nine marching bands gathered in the park at 8 a.m. to warm up for the 1981 homecoming parade. Together they weathered a cloudy sky and occasional light showers. They trudged through the high, wet grass and fallen leaves to their designated areas where they remained until the parade began at 10. Forty-four clubs and organizations from the college were slated to partici- pate in the parade. Twenty-four actu- ally made an appearance. The efforts of those who did show their school spirit were eagerly devoured by the chilled crowd who quickly tired of vi- siting high school bands. Gaps in the parade became a prob- lem as five minutes quickly elapsed before the remaining participants were sighted straggling down the street. The traditional highlight of a parade has been the float entries. The large, detailed scenes presented by Phi Mu, Tau Kappa Epsilon, Christian Campus House, Baptist Student Union, Phi Sigma Epsilon, Agriculture Club, Sigma Kappa, and the Missouri Air Guard were welcomed with thunder- ous applause ending only when they disappeared from sight, the first place float award went to the combined ef- forts of Ag Club and Sigma Kappa with the American Homesteader as their Great American Hero. The Phi Sigs and TKE's captured the second and third place prizes respectively. Decorated and semi-decorated cars were driven throughout the parade. The national organization of criminal justice majors, Delta Phi Upsilon, won first place in this catagory naming the Lone Ranger as their hero. Other clubs who entered a car were Accounting Club, Student Music Education, Phi X lill lohnson andjill Rau enjoy the festivities from a different perspective while riding on the Phi Mu float during the Homecoming parade. 52 X Homecoming Parade . .- . . 7,..4auamhn...au Beta Lambda, Le Cerche Francais, In- ternational Reading Association, Engi- neering Technology Society, and the Western Athletic Association.

Queen candi- dates and club officers also took part in 132?: the festivities by riding down Frederick in convertibles. Approximately 45 minutes into the hour-and-a-half parade the sky cleared, the streets dried off, and spirits began to soar.

There were hints of smiles but the emotionally drained faces told the story. Only seconds earlier Kearney State quarterback, Mark Ralston, dropped back to pass and let loose a spiraling bomb in hopes of pulling out a last sec- ond thriller to end the Griffon's expecta- tions of an unbeaten season. The ball sailed downward and Kear- ney receiver, Scott H iggins, reached out and nestled the ball neatly in his clutches as he raced toward the end-zone. Pandemonium broke out on the Kear- ney sideline as they jeered at the sullen Griffon squad who had seen victory es- cape their clutches. But a piece of yellow material, a pen- aity flag, laid crumpled near the line of scrimmage. A flag signaling an infraction which brought both excitement and a homecoming victory back to Coach Rob Hicklin and his troops. The 20-19 victory over the highly touted Antelopes pushed the Griffs up to fourth in the weekly NAIA polls. The game see-sawed back and forth until Tim Hoskins took things into his OWn hands with a 92 yard kickoff return which set up the eventual winning touchdown as moments later quarter- back Greg Fetters scored his second touchdown of the day on a one yard run. Despite the touchdown Western still trailed by a narrow 19-18 margin and the Griffons were forced to go for two. The two-point conversion was good as Fet- ters connected on a lofty pass with end Marc Lewis for the two points which would secure a Griffon lead as well as an eventual victory. Despite this, the usually high geared Griffon offense sputtered and it was time for the defense to share the spotlight. The defense held Kearney to 260 yards while forcing them to punt nine times. Alex Starke and Steve Marley, two of Western's mammoth linemen, fought off double teams throughout the day to shine in an otherwise team effort. Tom Early, junior linebacker, was named CSIC and District Defensive Play- er-of-the-Week for his steady perform- ance throughout the game. A crown of 5,000, the largest in Grif- fon football history, was treated to an ex- citing yet emotionally exhausting Homecoming afternoon.

For Cindy Price, Miss St. Joseph 1982, the $1,000 had a lot to do with it. Cindy, ajunior music major, plays the clarinet and is in 10 different music groups on campus. She played a selec- tion called Dizzy Fingers for the com- petition, and won the event. She also won the bathing suit competi- tion. Being on display did not bother her in the least. She says, I felt very comfortable . . . very good about it. This year's contest attracted the most girls ever in the local history of the pag- eant. Cindy hopes that even more girls enter the contest next year. Cindy fells that a woman can blend such attitudes about femininity with her career goals. Although it may be hard at times,-it is possible, she asserts. She comes from a family where these attitudes and goals mix well. Two of her sisters have won beauty pageants before, and are now pursuing their careers. An aunt also has experience in such matters. Margaret Ann Price won the Miss Mis- souri pageant in 1936 and went on to finish in the top ten of the Miss America pageant. She emphasizes the amount of self- confidence the contest provides the en- trants: It isjusttremendous. You gain so much.

The Renaissance Singers have per- formed in Kansas City for the past three years. Their presentation of Italian, French, German and English lyrics are chanted solely a cap'pella. FrankThomas, director, said, During the majestic period of the Renaissance, you weren't anyone unless you could sing. Because music was of such great importance through that age, we feel that it should be kept a vital part of our time. We enjoy singing best in loose set- tings because the music is too intimate to be piped out over loud speakers. The melodies' contents range from tender ro- mances to the caring of animals, Tho- mas said. Madrigal Magic The group's performances are com- plemented by their lavishly decorated costumes. Adorned in velvets, silks and laces, their impeccable gowns and suits are of the Renaissance Period. Along with their performances in Kan- sas City, the group has also appeared at country clubs, madrigal dinners and high schools, inviting anyone who might know the tunes to sing along with them. Thomas said, Renaissance singing is something that you really must possess a burning desire for. We hold our class each week but we also gather at individual's houses or any place thatwill have us.

The anticipation builds until everyone nearly chickens-out. A hooded skeleton warns that we are about to embark on a journey into what may prove to be our final hour. An eerie glow from torches light our path and casts ghastly shadows as the grim reaper leads us into the woods. After crossing a wooden bridge, he pauses to tell us that weive just passed the point of no return. We find ourselves standing in the middle of a graveyard quick with sand when a red devil springs from behind a tree. Next our tour guide leads us into Frankenstein's laboratory where the monster is struggling to free himselfof chains that bind him to a wall. Oh, he's safely secured, we are assured as he breaks loose. We flee to the nearest refuge The Maze. The entrance is dark but a light up ahead inspires hope. It's a dead end. We back-track and go off in another direction, and another, and yet another when a ghostjumps out from nowhere. In an attempt to pass through us, he plows over us. Dracula meets us at the end of the maze and invites us over for a drink. We decline of course. Dracula is a persistent creature, so into yet another dark cav- ern we go. Wading through the waist-deep sheltered trench, it is brought to our attention that the tunnel is infested with rattle snakes. Panic is the consensus of the group, so we lose little time reaching the end. Emerging from the mouth of the cave we disturb a werewolf devouring a bloody corpse with exposed entrails. Up ahead, a hideous laugh comes from a deranged chain-saw murderer severing limbs from his latest prey. He whips his Mc- Cullough through the air as we approach, then turns to go to work on a bound and gagged woman. He stops suddenly and comes towards us with malicious intent. . .

We hasten to the bridge before us thinking to be rid of the last harrowing experience of the forest. We ford a misty swamp, unaware ofthe creature lurking in the shroud of fog.

With the sun shining and the crowd Cheering, President Anwar Sadatviewed the military parade passing his reviewing stand. Suddenly, a military truck stopped, and Moslem fundamen- talist, dressed as Egyptian soldiers ap- proached the stand. Sadat rose to salute them when they opened fire with auto- matic weapons and hurled grenades, cutting down Sadat and five others like clay pigeons in a shooting gallery. Sadat was rushed to nearby Maadi Military Hospital where he arrived in a coma, never to awaken, despite heart massage and blood transfusions. 60 i Sadat's Assassination Sadat had many enemies, and for some time, nobody was certain who was actually behind the attack. It was sus- pected that Libya's leader, Moammar Gaddofi, was finally learned from army sources that the fundamentalists acted on their own, their motive being a retali- ation against Sadat's crackdown on dis- senters and religious groups. Sadat was a peacemaker, and a leader in the campaign for Middle East peace.

Most everyone, from the hierarchy of the British government, to the obscurity ofa Midwest college professor has desig- nated the Middle East and entire world a more dangerous place. I think the whole situation is a verit- able tinderbox, Dr. Joseph Ripple, MWSC professor of social sciences stated, and a situation which could in- flame the entire area is very eminent and very real. British authorities and even former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger re- flected Dr. Ripple's thoughts, statingthat the assassination came at a very difficult period. Although many peopledon't realize it, the United States stands quite a bitto lose if Egypt would go under in internal tur- moil. Egypt is the perfect base and listen- ing post for American information, as well as a buffer country between aggres- sive Lybia and oil-rich Saudia Arabia. If Egypt should collapse, the ripple effect may also shake down the unstable Saudi government, and the U.S. would be out a crucial foothold in the Middle East. Furthermore, with Sadat's informal alliance with the U.S., the U.S. has poured millions of dollars into Egypt, in the forms of military and economic aid. With the way the governmental tides shift in the Middle East, the investment the U.S. has in Egypt can be classified as Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin and Presi- dent Carterjoke with President Sadaton another of his missions for peace. risk . SZdat had once stated that he wanted written on his tomb that he campaigned for peace and died for a principal. It is amazing how such words, spoken in idle conversation, could tell a story so true and render an epitaph so fitting. ConsequenHy The assassination of Anwar Sadat was much more than just another act of ter- rorism. The effects of his death have been, and will continue to be, felt around the world. Dr. Frank Kessler, of the Political Science department, offered these insights into the man himself and into the implications of his assassination. If you assess a leader as being some- one who is willing to try something that no one else has tried before, and is will- ing to take the flack for it, I don't think there's been a greater political leader. For example, signing the treaty with the Israelis when no one in the Arab world would talk to him, that's clear leader- ship. He had the personality that a leader needs, the ability to arouse his people to a sense of mission. The assassination has shown the U.S. that you cant rely too heavily on the stability of a regime centered on just one person. We saw that with the Shah of Iran and now with Sadat. It's also not at all clear to use yet whether or not the people involved in assassinating Sadat were getting support from other sources, Libya for example. Welve had to change our foreign policy toward several coun- tries in the region, witness our sending arms to the Sudan and the ratification of the sale of AWACS to the Saudis. I think it's interesting to see the Saudis floating their peace proposals again, which don't include the name of Israel and which talk about a state for the palestianians. There are a lot of things which lead me to believe that Mubarak tSadat's presidential successorl is not as strongly tied to the Camp David accords as we might like to think. Therels no rea- son right now for the Israelis to feel ter- ribly secure he said. Can peace be maintained in the Mid- dle East without the influence of Sadat? Can the Egyptian government retain its stability under its new leadership? So many questions can only be answered in time. One thing is certain, though, Mo- homed Anwar El-Sadat's death will not have gone unnoticed. Sadat's Assassination l 61 , .t.. Ab -neme.$..f Parking tickets are .. -..W.-. A Prevention Of Campus Chaos There really isnt a parking problem at MWSC. 62 X Parking Problems ust for the record, the number of parking spaces doesn't increase as the year progresses. It only seems to. According to Director for Security Al Forsen, As the year goes on, people get a little bit more accustomed to their time schedules, and where they can park. Some also find rides with other students near where they live. Forsen says that although some stu- dents try the easy way out by parking in reserved spots, they still get ticketed. Some of the ploys that people try are put- ting old tickets on their cars so they wont get another one, not putting the registra- tion sticker on their cars, or not even re- gistering their cars. But, he adds, such ploys do not work. The security officer can simply check with the State Highway Patrol e they have all the information Security needs to determine the owner of a car parked on campus. Forsen adds, The ideas of parking tickets is not to provide revenue for the college. It is simply to prevent Chaos. And it would be chaos if we didn't have some kind of security. Last year, a possible solution was rec- ommended, one where no new lots would have to be constructed, no park- ing fees would have to be implemented, not much money would have to be spent and parking would have been increased by about 40 percent. A committee was formed to study the feasibility of alternative parking and draw up some possible designs. Marc Soloman, director of the Computer Cen- ter was on the committee. He, along with Max Schlesinger, the director of the Instructional Media Center, measured the current spaces, and drew up designs for 60 degree angle diagonal spaces. The designs were sent to Gary Ellison, a local architect who had designed the plans for the remodeling of the EET Building. He rejected the submitted designs as not feasible, but Soloman and Schle- singer were not told why.

The architect suggested a diagonal interweave. In explaining the 60 degree angle, So- Ioman said, Our plan was critical to the placement of the lightpoles. In that design, spaces would have been provided for motorcycles through- out the Iots rather than just at the ends. There also would have been oversized spaces at the ends of each lot to accom- odate vans and pickups. Schlesinger attributed the rejection in part to the timing. The plans were sub- mitted late in the year. The lots had been resurfaced and were almost ready to be painted. Another reason was that there was not adequate communication with the architect. He said, The response we got was a disappointment . . . we didn't get what we considered adequate feedback. The problem was not a serious one, but the outcome is certainly serious. Dr. Nolan Morrison, vice president of StudentAffairs, looks at the problem in a different way. He said, All we did was to ask the architect to determine if we would gain or lose with diagonal park- ing. We are looking for the most eco- nomical and the most efficient way to alleviate the parking problem. Ellison decided that with the designs that were shown him, the college would not gain enough more spaces for the work to be feasible. Morrison was quick to add that the study is in no way finished. We con- sider all possibilities from all sources.', He added that MWSC is one of only two Missouri state colleges that do not charge parking fees. The only other one is Missouri Southern. Some examples of fees are $20 a year at Maryville and $48 a year at Warrensburg. Warrensburg also has four lots that have parking me- ters. Morrison acknowledges though, We do have a parking problem. But I would rather try to work out a problem of too little parking than too much parking room and no one in classes. he sun shines brightly through the windshield as Joe Student cruises cheerfully toward the lush green campus. Joe carefully whips his car around Downs Drive in hopes of finding a place to park. Suddenly, he yanks the steering wheel and directs the car past a sign that reads Lot C. A purple fog envelops the car and a bizarre tune comes over the radio followed by the familiar voice of Rod Sterling, Consider this . . . Joe has entered the Parking Dilemma Zone. Da-Da-Da-Da. Doo-Doo-Doo-Doo. Joe eyes the spots wearily as he ma- neuvers his car through the lot. Ive seen this before, Joe thinks to himself, I'm experiencing Deja Vu. Yes, cars are parked everywhere: on the grass, in the trees, on the light poles and, yes, even in the reserved spots. Each windshield is covered with a hid- eous array of pink slips otherwise known as the dreaded ticket. Men in blue hover aboutloe's car, pen and tickets in hand. Joe can't handle it anymore: he knows Consider This By John Vanderpool he must trick them. He is flustered but remembers a trick his brother had shown him. A wily smile comes to his face. He grabs an old ticket from his glovebox as he pulls into a re- served spot. He slams the car into park and gets out while the security guards hoverevercloser. Suddenly, another car enters the lot, temporarily distracting the guard. Joe quickly slips the old ticket un- der the wiper in an attempt to elude pros- ecution. The ploy fails. Joe begrudgingly accepts his punish- ment with a determination that he will outwit the posse the following day. That night as Joe lay in bed he pon- dered how he would escape the clutches of security the next morning. An idea comes to mind. Rip off the sticker and they'll never know whose car it is. he thought. The next morning he pulls in the lot and once again the fog engulfs the car and the strange music begins and he knows he has re-entered the Parking Di- lemma Zone. Da-Da-Da-Da. He whips his car into a reserved spot with a cautious confidence that the no- sticker ploy will be successful. It's not, however, as the men in blue hover in and cover his windshield with pink slips. His options are running thin. He has no George Jetson fold-a-car and his car refuses to perform like Speed Racer's souped-up mobile. The battle is not over though; Joe will continue in his attempts to outwit the campus cops. He will persist until he graduates or is committed whichever comes first. It seems strange, Joe thinks, that the college officials' only explanation of this strange ticketing behavior is that it is an attempt to prevent chaos, when actually all it doesis create chaos. Joe just smiles to himself as he drives off campus pondering what ploy he will utilize in tomorrow's episode of The Parking Dilemma Zone. D00, Doo, Doo, Doo. A Parking Problems l 63 Tubas Hath Charm By Robin Blevins The lowly tuba and trombone have been instruments taken in jest too long. The Oct. 27 Low Brass Halloween Con- cert given in the Thompson E. Potter Fine Arts Theatre would serve as a stopping point for such ridicule. The off-beat costumes of the musi- cians drew attention immediately after they went on stage. A rapport with the audience was created instantly and the effect of the entire concert was personal. Even the conductor for the trombone en- semble, Dr. Mike Mathews, showed hu- mor as he entered stage left wearing the traditional black tux with tails, gorilla- like rubber mask, and hairy feet. The first number by the trombone en- semble was the slow, strained Six Cho- rales of Bach. Secondly came a light, snappy, almost frolicking March of a Marionette. Four tunes from the Eliza- bethan age followed. To end the trom- bone half of the concert, a drummer, bass guitarist, and rubber chicken joined in on the throat-tightening, contempo- rary romantics: Theme from Love Story, Misty, and If. The trombone ensemble consisted of Michael Cole, Philip Fink, Sharon Gar- mon, Rosemarie Glimka, Brad Railey, and Thomas Wieligman. The thought of a concert by a tuba ensemble puts one in mind of the change-the-station-quick kind of music that one listens to on his car stereo. However, after attending such a concert people tend to change 64 l Tuba Ensemble their minds. Again, the great humor of the players was shown. The conductor, Steve Se- ward, was decked-out in his Halloween garb - a Great Pumpkin Head! Classics like Ave Maria, Battle Hymn, and Three Diverse Drinking Songs were performed in a style never captured by the tuba in a marching band. The musicians left the stage and the lights were turned off. No one in the the- atre moved or breathed. Conductor Seward took the very left corner and began playing an eerie, spas- tic number by ,William Craft. A more haunting number was never played. The music filled the still air. A large shadow was cast upon the curtain behind him. Truly a concert for Halloween. All the lights were killed again and Seward vanished. Slowly, the lights were turned up and the players returned. Guest conductor Arlo Toskinini lalias Tom Wieligmanl led the two conductors lMike Lomax was replaced by Dr. Mathewsl, Mike Gerhardt, Perry Taylor, and Kevin Wil- liams in performing El Capitan. Other than some parents and a few friends of the musicians, no true music lovers were to be seen in the theatre that night. However, all who walked away from that hour-and-twenty-minute concert were renewed believers that music hath charms. Even tuba and trombone music.

Sticks, a group comprised of marching band percussionists, was in concert at the Fine Arts Theater during November. The ticket proceeds went to- wards the grand total needed for the Ru- damental Contest next spring in Chicago. The six student members are all music percussion majors with the exception of the main coordinator, Kent Rausch, who is a music education major. Rausch played the bass guitar. Lead singer Terry Hancock, who has also played with groups in Kansas City and drummer Dar- rel Cobb, each performed a deafening drum solo during an audio problem. On lead guitar was Rod Lincoln from the group Myth. Dan Taylor played acces- sory percussion for the group. Shane Proctor on folk guitar had also played with other groups in Kansas City. The only player in the group that was not a MWSC student was Erich Uhlhorn. The piano tuner from a music company is originally from the group Crossroads. ' Sticks played a variety of pop songs from Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin, to Desparado. Terry Hancock's famous Samoan Slap Dance drew the crowd's attention away from a technical difficulty and even added spirit to the already excited crowd. The two-night concert was a financial success simply because Sticks were harley. Terry Hancock performs the Samoan Slap Dance during the Sticks benefit concert sponsored by the percussion department. Jazz memories, said the flyers ad- vertising a benefit dance for the depart- ment of music. Memories? Not for most students. But the dance was open to the entire community, so there were those present who did remember the jazz tunes of the past. The dance was held on Nov. 6 at the Showcase Ballroom, which was donated by its proprietor. The money raised went toward student touring and schol- arships. The songs ranged from sounds of the big band days to the modern pieces of jazz today. Some 300 persons box- stepped and bunny-hopped their way into a great evening of entertainment. Several different groups performed during the event. Such songs as Tuxedo Junction and Get It On were played by the two MWSC Jazz Ensembles, the MWSC Percussion Ensemble, The Fac- ulty Quintet and the Swing Choir.

Driven by three buses and an enor- mous amount of seIf-confidence, the group made the trip, and brought home a victory for themselves and the entire school. William G.

This was the first time Missouri Western has ever gone to a Chiefs game. Most bands that play for the Chiefs games make application to do so, such as Marching Mizzou, Kansas University and Kansas State. But our band received a special invitation, due to another band's cancellation. With an audience of 75,000 football fans, the second largest crowd of the Chief's season, the band performed an excellent half-time show and they played several tunes for the Chiefs cheerleaders during the game. Mack said, I was very impressed with the fact that the kids were not over- whelmed or intimidated by the large crowd. They really had a good time and some of them didnt want to come home. Only days after the show, a letter was received by our school commending the band on the Super Job they did and stating that the MWSC Golden Griffon Marching Band will certainly be invited back for more.

As the doors to the Civic Arena swung open, the electric crowd filed through the gates, buzzing with anticipation of a rock'n roll show like no other. As the lights dim, the opening band, DVC, a new group out of Southern California took the stage and began to play. Their performance was interesting, to say the least. What DVC lacked in talent they made up for with deafening chords and their head-banging style. The performance lasted a long 30 min- utes with slamming guitars, crashing drums, and a screaming vocalist jump- ing and leaping across the stage. Once DVC concluded their act and the lights went out the crowd was even more electric than before. Anticipation of the upcoming band was overwhelm- ing. Then, the arena went black and a thunderous roar erupted from the crowd. Smoke covered the stage and the sounds of Emerson Lake and Palmer's Fanfare for the Common Man filled the auditorium. With each chord the ex- citement became more intense. The cur- tains at the rear of the stage slowly levitated to seductively reveal a massive batik 0f the group's first album cover.

Molly Hatchet i 71 MURPHY Publishing Professors hat do the American presidency, reincarnation, and anti-trust litigation have in common? They are all subjects of books written by local professors. Dr. Frank Kessler, Dr. John Gilgun, and Dr. Pat McMurray are the authors. Dr. Kessler published a book this year on the American presidency, The Dilemma of Presidential Leadership: Of Caretakers and Kings. The political science instructor attributes the idea of the bookto a lack of material available to students. Mosttexts deal with very general problems of the presidency. He says, HThe book is an outgrowth of the experience of teaching for over nine years. The book, although written primarily as an aid to students, will be marketed also to the general public. Kessler has tried to present the problems of the presidential office in a manner that is informative and at the same time humorous. He emphasizes, You can't take yourself seriously all the time. The title of one chapter reflects that humor, Buddies, Bootlickers and some Yahoos: The Personal Staff. Work on the book started in 1976, with a federal grant to study the presidency. During the course of the research and writing, Dr. Kessler felt the book might never get done. There were times when he would finish teaching for the day, go home to his family for a few hours, then return to school to work until midnight or later. Finally, though, the book was done. Does Dr. Kessler see himself writing another book? Not for a long time! For another professor, though, writing is not a new experi- ence. Dr. John Gilgun, who teaches English and creative writ- ing, has also published a book. It is a collection of nine reincarnation tales entitled, Everything That Has Been Shall Be Again. It started out as a joke when a friend of Dr Gilgun set up a reading of his works In Omaha, telling him that he could not write unless he had to. To prove his friend wrong, Dr Gilgun wrote the tales. After publication of his book, The Dilemmas of Presidential Leadership: of Caretakers and Kings, Dr. Frank Kesseler signs hi5 autograph to a copy. 72 i Professors -N . .w . 2 . .. -2-...-......WW lmmNKL .PHARMA2Y 5409 Lake Ave. H N T D 238-4522 Helen Wrinkle Joe Glenski Gene Claycomb Registered Pharmacists Drive up Prescription and Free Motorized Delivery STRU BE Later he was was interested i Besides deali in other ways.

Besides dealing with an unusual subject, the book is special in other ways. It is a limited edition, because all the type has been set by hand. it took almost three years for that step alone. Although Dr. Pat McMurray wrote a book, it wasn't by choice. For his Ph.D. in economics, he wrote a dissertion on anti-trust litigation. He spent three years doing the research and writings, in addition to a full year of doing just research, every day. The result of the research was 14 huge volumes of bound material that he had to condense. It, too, is a limited edition, because Dr. McMurray needed at least five copies printed. He did not attempt to market the book on a public level. He says, So few people understand the subject. It wouldn't sell. He did the research at several libraries, and for some mate- rial, he had to ask for very old, very rare documents. He ob- tained permission to use them, but a representative of the company was required to attend while Dr. McMurray perused the information. All three professors worked on their publications in addition to carrying full classloads, but each realized a dream in doing so.

Dr. J, as he is called by most of his students, has a Ph.D. in Archeology and is also the senior minister at Wyatt Park Baptist Church. So, why does a minister teach archeology? Dr. Bob Scott, dean of Liberal Arts and Sciences, approached Dr. J. before the beginning of the school year and asked him if he would be interested in teaching such a class here part time. He said, We're very lucky to have a Ph. D. come here and be willing to teach this class. It's good to be able to offer a variety of classes when there is sufficient student interest. And there was definitely student inter- est in archeology. Twenty-five students enrolled in the class, even though it is not yet listed in the student catalog. 74 i Archeology Dig Dr. J. explains the purpose of the class. This Class is not intended to make students into archeologists, but when they leave this class, they'll know, un- derstand what they may read, for exam- ple, in Time magazine. The class involves learning the meth- odology and the history of archeology. Students this semester got an added ad- vantage. They had the chance to go on a dig at Robidoux Row. Excavators struck archeological gold when clearning the way for a section of Interstate 229. According to state law, they had to stop and inform the state of their find. And, according to Dr. J., the state relies upon the volunteers to help with such excavations. And Dr. J. is no stranger to excava- A student archeologist scrutinizes a find as she Sifts through the bubble contained in the siching box. tions. He has accompanied digs in Israel and places in Europe. He values the op- portunity to learn of the history of the world in such evidence. Although the class is on a Special Topic, or probationary response pro- gram, the response so far has been good. If the enrollment and interest stays good, it will be incorporated into the regular catalog, as an elective. An additional aspect of the class is the fact that since Dr. J. has been on expedi- tions, he has over 7,000 slides he works into the class curriculum.

The Classic, sponsored by the American National Bank, failed to draw record turnouts in terms of crowds, though it did provide fans with a good taste of top notch women's basket- ball. The Lady Griffs opened the two day affair by slamming helpless Graceland College of Iowa, 87-49. Senior guard, Ju- lie Sherwood, picked up where she left off the previous season as she lead the Griffs with 14 points. Forwards Jackie Dudley and Laura Hanson and center, Myasthia Kelley Iended support to the Lady Griffon cause. The Ladies then faced NAIA power Northern State of South Dakota, the same squad that ousted the Lady Griffs from last year's NAIA tournament. The Northern women came out on top as Julie Sherwood's bucket at the buzzer was too little too late as they dropped a 66-65 nail-biter. i F ANKHAU SER SMUKiNB SAVING An Average Classic The men's side of the tournament was less thrilling. The Griffs did win and win easily at that. But that's just it, they totally outclassed the field twhich incidently wasn't exactly stacked with any powerhousesj The Griffon men opened by slashing Baker College before winding up the tournament by dominating an outclassed and outmanned Graceland College squad. Frank Wheeler and Pete McNeal lead the way for the Griffs with their offensive antics while picking up the slack for inju- ries sustained by center Kenny Brown and slick shooting for- ward Brian Graves. The Ameribanc Classic proved to be an average success this year.

Ameribanc Classic t 77 A Curtain Call, But No Encore hen rummaging through a list of words which Wcould describe the 1981 grid campaign, one might encounter such expressions as thrilling, memora- ble and record. One might also see frustrating and disappoint- ing in the midst, as well. Frustrating? Disappointing? Only in the sense that it was frustrating to see the Griffons thrashed in the season finale and disappointing in thatsuch a fine season had to come to such an abrupt halt. The Griffons peaked for their final curtain call against Pitts- burg State with visions of post season play dangling before them. Those visions were rudely yanked away by a stubborn Pittsburg team who extinguished all post season hopes with a 25-6 victory. Except for the final game, the 1981 season can indeed be termed a banner year for Griffon football. Besides establishing their best seasonal record at 8-2, the exciting brand of Griffon football also brought the fans out in record numbers. The Griffs also attained new heights in the NAIA rankings treaching fourth at one pointl before suffering a disheartening defeat at the hands of rival Missouri Southern in the eighth game. An additional highpoint of the record year was the re- establishment of competition with Northwest Missouri neigh- bor, Maryville. The institution of this rivalry provided the Griffs with added enthusiasm and fan support as well as pro- viding fans with one of the most memorable plays of the sea- son as linebacker Tom Earley picked off an errant pass and sprinted 72 yards for a game saving touchdown. The Kearney State game was memorable as well, as Griffon fans rode an emotional see-saw to see the gridders pull out a nail biting 20-19 victory. Though the 1981 season was the beginning of big things for the football program it was the end of an era of sorts for Griffon football enthusiasts as the Hoskins and Lewis duo played out their collegiate eligibility. No more will fans be treated to the contortionist catches of Tim Hoskins or the fleeting sight of 78 7 Football SCORES MWSC 27 Evangel 20 MWSC 37 Benedictine 16 MWSC 20 Northwest 8 MWSC 39 Fort Hays St. 31 MWSC 36 Wayne St. 13 MWSC 20 Kearney 19 MWSC 35 Emporia St. 14 MWSC 8 Mo.

Stear's impressive serve gave her a season's total of 491 serving points with freshman Mendy Chandler following closely with 483. Stear remained as asset to the team with her spiking abilities which played a key role in later victories. Throughout the season Bourisaw saw a lot of action on the court.

In mid-November the Lady Griffons won a spectacular match againstJohn Brown University to capture the Bi-District 8 Championship. Later in the month the team traveled to West Virginia for the NAIA National Tournament. The arrangement ofthe national tournament is different than the regular matches. The 16 teams present divided into four pools of four teams each. The teams then play within their pool and the two teams that win the most games advance to play within other pools. At the end of the first match in their pool, the Griffs were defeated by Southwest. However, the next two matches saw the college emerge victorious by defeating Limestone and Waynesberg, thus bringing the Lady Griffons out of their first pool in second place. In the quarter finals, the Griffs again lost their first match against the University of Hawaii-Healow. Having now advanced to the Single Elimination confirma- tion or loser's side, the Griffons faced St. John Fisher-New York only to lose again and be ineligible for further play in the national tournament. Shelly Skoch and Karen Meyer, with ten block points each, worked well for the team's defense. Skoch also captured 52 service points. On the offensive side, Laurie Stear pulled off 31 spiked points throughout the tournament with help from players such as Renee Sommer who ended with 57 assists. The remarkable Lady Griffons finished eighth out of the 16 teams competing. With a season record of43-16-3, who can complain that the college isn't well represented on the volleyball court? The fans, team, and coach certainly can't say that their expectancy of an exciting volleyball season didn't become a reality.

These days every student needs, all the help he can possibly obtain to cover tuition, gas, and Iivingexpenses. Butthere are others that think the Pell Grants, formerly Basic Education Opportunity Grant, and Guaranteed Student Loan are just handouts to help them afford such luxuries as new clothes, stereos, cars, or even party money. Bob Berger, financial aid director, stated, You wouldn't believe some of the situations these students find themselves in. When they receive the money the students, for the most part, have already paid for the semester that is in process. But when these students have to prepare themselves financially for the next term, they often find themselves totally broke. The $2,000 is completely gone. And when this occurs, they find it difficultto even account for it. Another frightening point Berger made clear was that the amount of GSL money the average state college receives is dropping. I would have to say within four years the GSL will be completely extinct. Every year the state college funds for the GSL are slowly decreasing. This happens because more andmore students are deciding that they would rather attend a private college; they are faced with high tuition dorm costs, everything. 50 when the time comes to apply for financial aid they are the people who are in greater need, compared to the student who wishes to attend a state college. In order to help the state college student make ends meet, programs like Work Study are beneficial. According to Louise Dyche, Work Study Coordinator, MWSC is extremely lucky. For many years it was always the best politician who was granted the most financial assistance for the college they re- presented. Bob Berger has been able to negotiate a great deal and the results, up until now, have always been in our favor. Now Congress is trying to pass a fair share deal so that 84 i Student Fees - , . . .Weww W.IW.-v each state col financial aid t aid is not eno place students There are a qualified for w For the mo will benefit th cult with 300 5 take almost an each state college will get a more equal opportunity for the financial aid that everyone is in such need for. lfthe financial aid is not enough, Ms. Dyche or Rufus Hernandez strive to place students in jobs. There are approximately 300 students who have already qualified for work study this year. For the most part we try to place the students into jobs that will benefit their majors. This, of course, gets extremely diffi- cult with 300 students. Students have learned that they should take almost anything that is offered. When students do not qualify for the Work Study Program, they are recommended to Rufus Hernandez. He spends most of his time drumming up jobs in the community that students can fill. It has definitely become a frightening situation. Adults who have dedicated themselves to a higher education in order to prepare themselves for a decent income in a career-oriented society have found themselves victims of circumstances. Cir- ' cumstances which have left some bitter, frustrated, and even hopeless. Student Fees i 85 Price Hike If you'll look back in your checkbook and compare the fee you paid to attend college with the schedule of fees of last year, you'll find that you're $50 further in the hole than you thought. State governments, in this time of recession, are forced to balance their budgets. So if Missouri's Department of Higher Education has a new budget, why was it hit so hard by cuts? It seems that even a state representative's office couldn't answer that. The entire process of how Governor Kit Bond decided to cut state appropriations to Missouri's colleges and uni- versities is covered with layer after layer of bureaucratic red tape. The bottom line is: with a funding cut of $700,000, what's a school to do? Budget cuts alone cannot suffice even for a school as small as this. The Board of Regents saw no other alternative but to pass the ex- tra cost of operating onto the consumer as any business would do; however, in this case the consumer is the stu- dent body. Had it not come at a time when the federal stu- dent loan program is all but dissolved, the increase would not have been felt. Beginningthis October 1, a student whose family exceeds $30,000 annually will be forced to pass a needs tests to qualify for a subsidized loan. This and other limitations on the loan program are feared to drive some one mil- lion students out of school. Also, there are plans to cut 86 l Bits 8t Pieces back on Basic Educational Opportunity Grants. Now, to ' qualify for a grant, a needy family must spend at'least 1m of its income tafter nec- essary bills are paidl on the child's college education. The system is also saying that a student should provide a minimum of $750 annually toward hisiher education. 50, the two major sources of financial aid are almost shot for the average student. In the college recruitment catalogues, students are told of the wonderful social life, degree programs are made at- tractive, fees are competitive with other schools, and finan- cial aid is said to be readily available. There's only one problem. Those reasonable fees can go up without notice while the aid is cut off. Koreans Conquer They came with precision, determination and a goal. The 12 women that make up the Korean Junior National Vol- leyball team controlled the court Sept. 17. In three games, they held the Lady Griffons to scores of 15-1, 15- 1 and 15-3. The Koreans were touring the United States on their way to Mexico City to defend their world title in October. There, they competed with 15 other teams from around the world, such as China, Cuba, Mexico, Canada and the Soviet Union. The tour, arranged by the United States Collegiate Sports Council, included ten colleges and universities and a match with the USA Na- tional Women's teams. MWSC Athletic Director Charlie Burri said of the K0- reans, Their level of skill and quickness make them fearful opponents. That skill and quickness had even the Lady Griffons' fans applauding and cheering at plays and saves made by the Koreans. Burri added that many of the women on the Korean team are 1984 Olympic pros- pects. Members of the volleyball squad ex- change mementos with the Korean National team.

O'Connor, 51, is the first woman ever to become a Jus- tice for the Supreme Court in its 191 yearexistence. A great deal of controversy was stirred up before O'Con- nor was actually named as the next Justice. Her views on abortion and the Equal Rights Amendment were the major issues. O'Connor's record of favoring the federal Equal Rights Amendment and vot- ing against anti-abortion in- terests. have provoked an outcry by the Right to Life Na- tional Committee, the Moral Majority and other groups op- posed to abortion. During O'Connor's three days of confirmation hear- ings, the factthat she has been known to change her votes on abortion from side to side was discussed. For example, O'Connor was the first state legislator to introduce the Equal Rights Amendment for ratification. But when she learned that senators in Washington were opposed to the measure, she backed off. O'Connor did not answer the questions on abortion to the full satisfaction of the questioners, insisting that her v personal opinions were irrele- vant to the work she would do on the Court. She did imply, however, that she supports the death penalty and stricter bail laws. Throughout the confirma- tion hearings, O'Connor clung carefully to three rules of conduct for a successful Justice-to-be: it's better to be seen than heard, speak only when spoken to and try not to discuss religion or politics. After the hearings were over and it was decided that O'Connor would fill the empty bench, committee mernbers urged her to be more than just another Jus- tice. They feel she has an obli- gation to be an advocate for women. To that, OlConnor responded that she would be happy with a tombstone that simply read, UHere lies a good judge.'l A Shuttle Muddle From the beginning of preparation, the second flight of space shuttle Columbia was plagued with problems. During the first flight of the craft, initial blasts of the shuttle's solid-fuel rockets caused the control flaps on the trailing edge of the wings to shake so violently that they almost broke off. Also, the blasts almost caused the trusses linking Columbia to her fuel tanks to collapse. The correction of these problems caused the first delays. Nine minutes before the November 4 blast-off, a drop in liquid-oxygen pressure was noted in an outside fuel tank and in the three oxygen tanks. The flight was cancelled with 31 seconds to go. Several days later, two hours after Columbia finally made her way into space for the second time, trouble in the electrical system was de- tected. It was soon remedied by remote-control repairs. Next, one of the three bat- tery-like fuel cells was ruined and the shuttle was landed af- ter completing 36 out of the scheduled 83 orbits of the earth. Air Force Colonel Joe H. Engle and Navy Captain Ri- chard H. Truly did manage to complete some of their tasks during the two days in space. Their foremost duty was to use the $100 million Cana- dian-built Remote Manipula- tor System or arm, which will be used to place satellites in orbit, snatch them back from the sky, and load them into Columbia to have them repaired or replaced. The number of flights for space shuttle Columbia over the next four years has been cut from 44 to 32 because of these and other problems. Spectators look on as the Columbia lifts off. 6 tpusfllutindeed winter'portrayed V ' winte x .

Ifone was to just listen to some of the conversations concerning this bleak time of year, he would def- initely be able to relate in one way or another. Utility bills have been any- where from $100 w up, and stalled cars have kept many students from getting to school.

Siberian Express i 91 STRUBE 16th Century: . Top Forty Hits in the year 1550 a new form of enter- tainment possessed Italy and quickly spread throughout the world. Madrigals emerged as solitary musi- cians who had no audience to applaud them. This small group would much rather any bystanders go about their own business. Their only goal was to enter- tain themselves much like a group of card players. ' The new festival madrigal's attitude was completely different. Their purpose was to accompany eating, drinking with the performance of a hobby. Christmas was the busiest season for the madrigal singers. The word madrigal refers to Italian po- etry set to the age-old music of the coun- try with a distinct rhyme scheme. The lyrics were based on the same subjects currently on the Top 40 charts. The poet Petrarch dealt with unconsum- mated love and the perfect woman who was beyond reach. . Two centuries later there was a move- ment to use these old poems with new music. The early festival madrigals are well represented by today's Rennaissance singers. The college's group of singers has traveled to the Renaissance Festival in Prairie Village, Kansas forthe past sev- eral years and has entertained at Dr. M.O. Looney's faculty Christmas din- ner. That Christmas dinner got a surprising new twist with a complete madrigal theme. Instead of just the Renaissance singers serving as entertainment, the 92 i Madrigal Feast food and decoration for the event cen- tered around the 16th century Italian fes- tival. Also, the doors of the College Center were thrown open and the public was invited. With the madrigal style, you can add as many forms of entertainment as you wish, explained Frank Thomas, music professor. Joining approximately 21 singers and musicians was Dr. Matt Gilmour, chair- man of the music department, who played the part of a court jester. Why does a contemporary college use a party theme that is hundreds of years old? So the music department can con- tribute to the college experience and, well . . . if we can make some money, that's good, too. Thomas concluded. We'll definitely do it again.

Looney, his wife, and four visiting relatives escaped the house after Chris, his cousin Dana Crisp, and his friend Mike Craig began breaking the glass out of the bedroom windows. Fire Inspector Charles Chandler and other authorities named a flaw in the furnace system as the probable cause. A leaking oil line in the furnace started the fire and the oil continued to serve as a source of fuel for the blaze until firefighters could make their way into the basement. Eventually, the flames rose through the walls and caused the living room floor to collapse. At 4:00 am. a fifth company of men were called to replace those who had already worked two and a half hours. The loss of personal possessions in any house fire can be expected to be large. The Looney's loss was estimated at $125,000. The only possessions salvaged dur- ing the fire that morning were a few guns and a watch collection. Many family photographs were also saved. The Looneys had been avid collec- tors of artwork and antiques for thirty years. Many of their own pieces were destroyed along with many pieces of artwork and furniture which belonged to the school. Looney's personal desk and files suf- fered water and smoke damage, but were salvagable. The College Board of Regents an- nounced the fol lowing week that plans were already underway for the President's home to be rebuilt as soon as spring weather arrives. Insurance carried on the home by the college is expected to cover the construction job with no help from Missouri taxpayers.

Owens NWMSU President By Robin Blevins An Article by Lou Jakovac in the January 21 issue of The St. Joseph Gazette't brought up the question ofa proposed merger between Missouri Western State College and Northwest Mis- souri State University-Maryville. The State Coordinating Board for the Higher Educationls discussion has this college offering graduate and part-time course work. Maryville would concentrate on undergradu- ates. Federal budget cuts reducing student financial aid were said to have played a major part in the Board's decision to revise Master Plan III, a guide for coordination colleges and universi- ties. The issue of merging the two schools came from the research done in revising the plan. Other considerations in- clude everything between closing schools statewide to cap- ping enrollments. The changes made by the state department's staff were forwarded to the board in March. Northwestern's President, Dr. B.D. Owens, was quoted as saying that the idea ofa merger has been around for years and years. Because of the state education system's severe finan- cial problems, the proposal is now feared to become a reality. When you look at the history of merging schools, it costs more to merge them than to keep them functioning the way they are. If the purpose of this is to save money for the state; I don't see any way, using history as a guide, that money could be saved, Western President M.D. Looney explained. Shaila Aery, deputy commissioner ofthe state higher educa- tion department, was quoted in the St. Joseph Gazette as saying: When you first look at that tthe possibility of a mergerl it seems the most reasonable, but you have to look at all options. It's also an election year and if you talked of a merger, it'd get you beat to death in the General Assembly. Coordinating Boards are neither liked nor appreciated by the General As- sembly or the institutions. But we use our best judgement and make options available. It'd be a lot easier to sit back and not give options. Merger l 97 Uncle Dunkel Dick Dunkel, the polemic prognosticator, rapidly became a skeleton in the District 16 family closet during the 1982 season By Michael Kunz nfair, ludicrous, inequitable, senseless, wrong, un- reasonable, unjust, improper, objectionable, unwar- rantable, and injurious were words tossed around among Missouri Western basketball fans during the 1981-82 season to describe the Dunkel Rating System. What could this Dunkel System be rating to attract such ignoble praise? Why, college basketball, of course. The NAIA brand, to be sure. District 16 men of Division 1, without a doubt. And Missouri Western's Golden Griffons too low, indeed, as an absolute fact and notwithstanding any other opinion. That, at least, was the prevalent opinion. A certain Mr. Dunkel tchristened Dick by his parents and also by some fans unaware at the time of his actual given namel of Ormand Beach, Florida, is the present propagator of the rating system scorned by Missouri Western Head Coach Cary Filbert, annually castigated by one district coach or an- other and especially disrelished by Golden Griffon fans. Come now, could it be so bad? Some people seemed to think so. The cause of the uproar? 98 i Dunkel Missouri Western - the hottest team in the district, the only team unbeaten in district games and the team ranked higher nationally by the NAIA than any other District 16 team during the regular season - placed second to Rockhurst in the final Dunkel District 16 ratings of the season. One gets the feeling that no one except the grandmother of the assistant waterboy of the junior varsity team would care that much, at least if the ratings didn't mean anything. But they did mean something. Missouri Western, 22-5 overall and 9-0 in district play - including a 62-54 victory over Rockhurst in St. Joseph - if facing Rockhurst in district tournament play, would have to surrender the home court advantage. Rockhurst's record at the time ofthe final Dunkel ratings? The Hawks were 16-9 overall and 11-5 in district action. Certainly those were respectable figures, but in light of Missouri Westernis record, people be- gan wondering what Mr. Dunkel was putting in his pipe to come up with ratings that had the Hawks ranked ahead of the Griffons. Pssst. Don't tell anybody, but, . . getthis: He's got a secret formula rating system. Zounds! Indeed, Dunkel's father, quite legally it should be added, devised a syste teams.

Through the years, the elder Mr. Dunkel discovered that his system seemed to work pretty well. He started apply- ing it to college basketball. Obviously, Dunkel, and eventu- ally his son, wasn't rating these teams just for his health. They sold their findings to gamblers and eventually District 16 ofthe NAIA Division I. Dunkel past and Dunkel present had, have had and a un- less recently lost forever in a dark corner of someone's brain or trash can - still have the secret formula that allows them to exalt those teams which simmer well to the formula's ingre- dients and humble those teams which, perhaps for lack of sporting etiquette, adhere not closely to the delicate wontloss point-margin structure of the . . . pssst. . . secretformula. Ofcourse, as is the rule with secretformulas, such as how to make Coca-Cola rather than Cragmont and how to make that chicken a finger-licker, the ratios of ingredients are closely guarded truths. In fact, a certain writer in his naivete sent the Dunkels one American dollar and a self-addressed stamped envelope for any information concerning the esoteric rating system, but to no avail. No word was ever heard from Dunkel, or even his secretary. And what happened to the dollar, not to mention the stamp? And what happened to allow the Griffons, a 22-5 power- house, to be ranked behind Rockhurst? Well, Mr. Dunkel has two known criteria in his rating sys- tem: ill the two teams' Dunkel ratings coming into a game, and tZl the margin of victory in the game. What the system does not take into account are such factors as home court advantage, win-loss records against common- opponents, win-loss records in head-to-head competition, injured or sick players, or even an intangible like the number of games a team has already played in a particular week. Now Mr. Dunkel isn't realistically expected to take all of those factors into account when he's rating over 1,100 teams across the country. On the other hand, if he doesn't consider more than two factors, should he be rating that many teams? As it was, Missouri Western had not only beaten Rockhurst in head-to-head competition, but also obviously had a better record against common District 16 opponents. A major fallacy of Dunkel's system that causes a lot of prob- lems for district teams is the unscientific and unrealistic method of rating teams at the beginning of the season. Dunkel's pre-season rating ofa team is that rating which the team had finished the previous season with. Thus, despite the fact that Griffons had the best District 16 record in 1981-82, theirdismal 9-17 record for the 1981 -82 season leftthem with a PUny 33 power rating when the 1981-82 season began. Therefore Missouri Western had to win big all season to ad- vance as high as its final 47.3 rating. Conversely, Rockhurst and a few other schools started the Disgustovercomes the faces of Coaches Shear and Filbert as they contemplate What a loss would do to their Dunkel rating. season with high power ratings and maintained their standing without performing any extraordinarily spectacular feats. That's how it works, at least without getting into the fine details ofthe. . .pssst. . .secretformula. tContinued next pagel i7 Dunkel t 99 FANKHAUSER What do some of the coaches have to say about this? III'm surprised, Rockhurst Coach Jerry Reynolds saidtin a St. Joseph Gazette article. And he wasn't talking about the taste of Coors Light beer. I didnlt think we'd get the No. 1 spot. I don't think we deserve it. I thought we had the No. 2 spot locked up. I'm sure the people at Missouri Western are upset. I don't blame them. llWe feel like it is a travesty of justice, Filbert said in the Gazette article. I have to apologize as a coach to the team for allowing this to happen. Our administrators have to apologize as administrators. In a Griffon yearbook interview, Filbert and Assistant Coach Skip Shear talked about the situation. Weive pushed the job of rating out of our district off to a neutral source tDunkelI, Shear said. I don't think he has animosity toward any one school, its just that it usually doesn't work too well for one coach or another. It happens to five or six or seven, Filbert added. llWe're not completely happy with Dunkel, Shear said. But we're not sure the other alternatives are any better, I Filbert said. There are no fooI-proof methods, Shear said. The coaches of the district teams make recommendations concerning playoff selection methods to the district's execu- tive committee, of which Missouri Western Athletic Director Charlie Burri is a 10-year member. There's always a lot of discontent anytime you have teams jockeying for the top 8 positions, Burri said. We had com- plaints when other systems were used, too. When we came into the district in 1970 we used the Dis- trict 16 Executive Committee to select the playoff teams, like the women did this year. You can imagine the kind of pressure we would get from other athletic directors, coaches and col- lege presidents. , During the 1972-73 season, the district began using the Litkenhouse Rating System. During 1978-79, the Carr Ratings were used. Mr. Carr was tragically killed in a car accident in 1979. Since then, the district has used the Dunkel Ratings. 100 X Dunkel The ratings do put extra pressure on the players to beat the point spread, but they also create a lot of excitement, Burri said. When it comes down to the final week of the season, Dunkel hasn't missed it by much. It wouldn't surprise me if the coaches decide to use Dunkel again next season. But Filbert has other ideas. Hln our coaches meeting, I just didn't fight hard enough to change the system, Filbert said in the llGazette article. In the interview with the Griffon yearbook, Filbert offered a possible alternative. We could use the Kraus Kount, Filbert said. Jerry Kraus is a statistician from Eastern Washington University. We could use it for a year and compare it with other systems to see if it was any better or worse. Whatever the coaches' decision, the Dunkel System's Dis- trict 16 days may be numbered. And then the door is open for something else to be unfair, ludicrous, inequitable. . . Stan Hughes Accounting and Tax Practice 1502 S.

FANKHAUSER Concert of Dancet 103 Annie Affirms There aren't too many seventy-one year old women who assume the roles of newly-wed, writer and part-time college student. Annie LaFollette does it all so naturally, and in doing so paves a unique and enjoyable life for herself. Annie married Ted Adams in October. They met while collaborating on a book. Ted was worried about me eating, so after wetd finish working for the day, he'd take me out to dinner. I had no idea we'd end up getting married. We met in July and he proposed in October. We eloped after the wedding, Annie smiled at the thought. Ted is fifty-two, but we have so much in common and get along beautifully. Ted likes that song 'Older Women Make Beautiful Lovers! He told his father that's why he married me. Ted is a disabled veteran. He does the cooking, cleaning and laundry while Annie is at college. Annie joked that her only responsibility in the marriage was being the entertainment and personal relations committee. Anniels interest in writing had an ironic beginning. At the age of fifty, An- nie developed a serious problem with her voice and couldn't speak for ninety days. The condition sprung from Annie's inability to express anger. She would grit her teeth e a habit that led to obstruc- tions in her lower jaws which became infected causing warts. During the pe- riod she was without a voice, Annie fell into the habit of writing everything down and discovered she liked it. Annie and Me, her second book, is basically the story of her life. Annie's fa- ther died in an accident when she was thirteen. Her mother continued to run their farm and raise the children. tAnnie's first book, My Mother the Farmer, covers this aspect of her lifeJ Annie had brain fever as a result of the measles and had a split personality, which she says she finally managed to unite. Her life was somewhat tragic, but the style she described it with is light and comical. I think Annie has had a very difficult life and so she looks for joy, and writing 104 l Annie LaFollette is one of the ways she looks for joy, En- glish instructor Dr. John Gilgun said. She said my Creative Writing class has inspired her and that it helped inspire her to get married. Writing keeps her alive, in love with life and in touch with things. Annie is on the side of life. Annie af- firms! Outside of writing, Annie is fond of traveling, participating in activities atthe Senior Citizens Center and creating flower arrangements. Expressiveness is the main ingredient of Annie LaFolletets speech and writings She feels that with age comes a certain security within one's self. My ninety-nine year old mother is perfectly content with her life, Annie said with a smile, and I am perfectly content with mine. She and Ted are currently working on a novel about themselves entitled Ted and Me. LOGAN For a long V or hear me. I and my creatc reached perfei am words. Th feelings.

When I share feelings I confirm that I am alive. These personified feelings are only a fraction of what is involved in the literary magazine Icarus. Icarus was created ten years ago by a former English instructor, Michael Macintosh, who is presently writing for the Missouri Con- servationist. He, like present editor Dr. John Gilgun, dedicated many hours and a vast amount of creativity to the publi- cation of Icarus. I receive a great deal of satisfaction throughout winter's bleakest month's of January and February, writing and edit- ing the magazine, commented Gilgun. This magazine allows me to tinker with poems and short stories written by cre- ative writing students and other inspired writers. I have this terrible fear of the magazine. Every year I start out with a boxful of student writings that will have to be sifted through. The constant ques- tion that mulls through my mind is: Will we have an Icarus this year? But it al- ways comes together. This special task requires a vast amount of creativity. And this creativity is what keeps me alive. Once all the writing has been submit- ted, the process can begin. Sometimes a writer may be so expressive throughout his work that there is no need for change. Other times the poem may need just a little something extra. 50 I begin to re- shape the work until I, with the student's permission, feel that it reaches perfec- tion. After that is finished it is then sent to the Arts Craft Printing Company and they take it from there! There are three awards that are distrib- uted to the various writers. They include as follows: The Mannshreck Award for Overall Writing Excellence, the Mead Products Poetry Award, and the Mead Products Fiction Award. Even though these awards are quite an honor, student writer's feel that the greatest honor is just having their work published. I think it's a great feeling to have this book and say, Hey,,l actually wrote that! It really helps build you seIf-image. It's also nice to be able to utilize your work in a portfolio to show the prospective employer. Michael Kunz To me itwas a dream! I was tickled to death. Writing something is one thing, seeing it in print is a completely new game. To actually have something published and something that people ac- tually pay for to read is wonderful! tl even bought lots of copies myselfli Kimm Wiggs Being published is not what a writer's goal is. Yet it is pleasant. It's just the tip of the iceberg. John Vanderpool Each year the Icarus'i has a different theme. The 1982 issue will be, Student Writer in Relation to his Environment. Every piece of work will be dealing with St. Joseph in some way. It all comes about through a process. The process begins with observation. This observation creates feelings. The feelings lead to words. The process com- pletes itself when people feel the words and when people feel . . . they are alive!

More bomb- ing, more killings, and more restless people stalking the streets wondering iftheir lives shall ever return to normal. For the younger generation though, chaos has become a part of their everyday lives. However, one particular lranian has made a vast attempt to lead as normal life as possible by coming to the land of oppor- tunity. Mohammad Mahzoon is the eldest of seven children. Realizing that there was no other way to have such opportuni- ties Mohammad began a long hard struggle towards obtaining the money that was necessary to pay for air fare and other living expenses. I still hear from my family often. There is reason to believe that most of the mail is being consored, but I haven't experi- enced that as of yet. According to Mohammad, people no longer listen. They are so preoccupied with all the turmoil that they are just not able to communicate with one another. The economic situation is so poor that no one is able to purchase anything easily. 106 t Mohammad After the hostage crisis last year many Americans have hard feelings towards the lranian people. Yet how many Americans can honestly say that they understand what exactly happened- as well as why? Mohammad had many feelings to share about the situation. I was ashamed I felt so terrible. My country was doing some- thing to a country that I had lived in and loved for six year. What could I do though? What could anyone do that hadnit already been attempted? In the past four years the country of Iran has been through more turnoil than ever. When the Shah first came into the government h leaders, he m everyone hop The desire f01 hope dwindle There were the Shah was to read anyth regime. In an Plain-clothi side. They w icans have hard iany Americans tctly happened- ut the situation. as doing some- ed for six year. 2 do that hadn't 15 been through came into the government he was loved by all the people in the land. Like all leaders, he made promises to the people. Promises that gave everyone hope, hope that things would change for the better. The desire for peace would become a reality. Gradually the hope dwindled away. There were many indications that the pressure applied by the Shah was quite intense. He nolonger allowed the people to read anything, of course, except the literature of his own rEgime. In an attempt to enforce this law, he went to extremes. PIain-Clothes men were to patrol the entire Iranian country- side. They were to make unannounced arrivals to people's homes. During these visits the men would burn books, sometimes even homes. Many people were jailed, without reason, leaving their families completely helpless with no knowledge as to where they were taken. 'The last straw for the Iranian people was the cold-blooded 'murders of 16,000 people. This was a result of the differing opinions of the Shah and the Iranian citizens concerning the White Revolution. A revolution which had been the Iranian way of life since time began. Supporters of the White Revolution had always believed that the farmers who diligently struggled to produce a profit for the owners of the land should be allowed to share a fraction of the profit with the landowners. However, the Shah had differ- ent ideas. He felt that this entire revolution was allowing too much freedom. Protesters were wanting to be heard. They designated the city of Quam to be the site of a peaceful demonstration. When word reached the Ayatullah Khomeini concerning this dem- onstration, he immediately arrived in the government from his exile in France. The people once again found themselves wor- shipping another shallow promising leader. We loved him, pleaded Mahzoon. We believed he was a good man and very fair. He promised us a strong, religious, and peaceful country once again. Before long he walked right into the same pattern as that of the Shah. He became power happy. ' The Iranian translation of Ayatullah means a sign of God. Mahzoon stated that many people felt as if Khomeini was a sign of God. If that is the case, when is the sign of God going to perform the miracle of creating that intangible dream of making his country strong once again? Mohammad will be graduating this spring with a degree in accounting. Like every other senior he is faced with many decisions. Yet his decision is a little more unique. How many people have to decide whether or not to return to their home land of chaos or to remain in a country where there is no guaranteed employment and a land where there is no family?

The puzzle can be found in many stores from the local drug store to the finer department stores. It is packaged in a smart black cardboard frame which is enclosed in clear plastic wrap. Each of its six sides is a bright color: blue, green, red, yellow, orange and white. Each face is made up of nine small individual squares. These little squares move on axles so the whole side, or parts of it, can be twisted into different positions. A person would be wise to admire the cube with all the sides matching the way it comes out of the package. Instead most people foolishly start turning the rows of squares around thinking they can remember which moves are needed to re-align the cube. After about 10 seconds they start a mad attempt to re-do what they have undone. The fools! By the time they admit that they have been beaten by a small plastic toy, the cube is scram- bled into an aggravating, technicol- ored mess. With fingers numbrand eyes crossed, they concede defeat. Most will wonder whatever possessed them to spend their hard-earned money on such a foolish toy. The simple solution suggested by the guide Prove to be not so simple when dealing with the perplexing puzzle. Hands and cube become one as people all over the country become cubic refruges. At this time the hot-tempered will disgustedly throw the cube out the car window into the middle of the free- way, hoping it gets smashed into a million pieces. The calmer, more ma- ture part of the population will lay the cube down and take two Excedrin tor Tylenol if they have weak stomachsl. After resting for an hour the curious gluttons for punishment can't help but pickthe cube up and start twisting and turning again. A few lucky souls will eventually sip victory by aligning one side of the puzzle. According to the pamphlet pack- aged with the cube, they are now qual- ified as a Star. The ones who fail to align one side will graciously give the cube to some- one they don't like. According to People magazine, the cube can be arranged into 43 quin- tillion combinations tthat's 43 fol- lowed by 30 zeroesl. Despite these odds, an elite few have the right amount of logic, patience, and dumb luck to solve it. However, not long after the intro- duction of the cube help arrived for those who couldn't solve the cube by themselves. It can in the form ofa book promising The Simple Solution ... to the infuriating obsession that is loved and hated at the same time. The $2 book isn't worth 29:. It is just as complicated as the cube and leaves FANKHAUSER the poor misled purchaser with another thing he doesn't understand. The cube was invented by Eron Rubik in 1974. He is a thirty-seven- year-old junior professor of architecture in Budapest, Hungary. Rubik used the cube as a teaching aid to give his students experience dealing with three dimensional objects. The original model was made of wood and took the inventor a month to align. Rubik patented later after it was manu- factured by Ideal Toy Corporation. Rubik says, I think of it as a game, a teaching aid, a sport, a puzzle, and a piece of art. Newsweek magazine reported that the puzzle has been added to the design collection at the museum of Modern Art in New York. To mathe- maticians the cube illustrates abstract algebra. Even a textbook based on it was published in October of 1981. To millions of Americans that cute little cube is a direct route to tempo- rary insanity. For those who want to befuddle themselves with other gems of madness the stores are now full of similar mind bogglers. Included in them are The Pyramix, The Magic Ball , The Magic Snake and one called The Missing Link. All are priced under $10. For those who have a good supply of hard-earned money along with a full bottle of Excedrin, Lots of luck. Barb Alexander becomes captivated by the latest fad of '82 - the Rubik's Cube. Rubik's Cube X 109 FANKHAUSER Even the Pope Wears a Stetson For over 100 years Stetson had been servicing the needs of hat buyers world- wide. Today Stetson is headquartered right here in St. Joseph and ships both western and dress hats to retail western stores and major department stores all over the world. a Stetson-Stevens Hat Company em- ployed over450 people in 1981, making it one of St. Joseph's largest industries. According to Gary Rosenthal, Stetson produces hundreds of thousands of hats and caps annually. Stevens Hat Com- pany was established here in 1917. In 1971 the firm bought out Stetson and moved a major part of the operation here to St. Joseph. There are two other plants that make up the corporation. Newark, 110 i Stetson Hats N.J., houses the fur cutting operation, which consists of cutting the fur off the raw. rabbit and beaver pelts and forms them into hat bodies. The Body plant in Danbury, NJ. takes the hat bodies and refines them into raw hats. Following this process, they are shipped here to St. Joseph where the finished hat is produced. Among celebrities who received promo Stetsons are John Wayne, I'Gunsmoke's James Arness, who ordered his hats a dozen at a time when he was shooting the series. Walter Matthau received Stetsons for his work in Hopscotch and Caseyis Shadow. Telly Savalas could always be seen in a Stetson on his past series, Kojak? John Travolta had a specially-made Stetson for the film Urban Cowboy. All the hostages of the Iranian incident, re- ceived Stetson Hats upon their return as a gesture of welcome from America's foremost hat producers. And recently even the Pope was presented a Stetson.

FANKHAUSER From Saddle To Silver Screen Like cowboy hats and blue jeans cowboy boots have envolved out of the American West to become a very up-to-date fashion. Known for their usefulness and practicality, boots can also be a fanciful object and show- piece. Boots have come a long way since the early days of the Mexican Va- queros who rode the plains north of the Rio Grande in low-toppedl flat- heeled boots with heavy spurs. The decline of the cowboy as a real working figure was paralleled by the rise of the movie Cowboy Buckels, buttons, scarves and rows of stitching LOGAN em were added to the plain leather foot garb by heroes on the silver screen. Boots gained national acceptance . as a purely regional product after World War II and everyone began to qear them with patriotic pride. This induction paved the way towards more exotic skins such as python, eel and kangaroo. At $7.50 a square centimeter, the ten inches between pull straps and soles can become a hefty investment. Purportedly, Tony Lama is the Cadillac of western boots. President Reagan has four pairs of them with inlaid presidential seals. But if Tony Lama is the Cadillac some might say Lucchese is the Rolls- Royce. Luccheses were in the White House before Lamas e on Lyndon Johnson's feet. For those who can not afford the luxury of walking with the presidents in custom-made boots, perhaps an all- leather pair of Durango's will do. Surely any urban, suburban or rural cowboy can find a pair to his liking within the Durango price range of $40 to $625. Cowboy boots are not even limited to cowboys; cowgirls can wear them too.

BootsX 111 LOGAN Instructors display ine Faculty Art uring the month of February, the Fine Arts lobby displayed works of art that differed from the usual displays. The 50-piece exhibit featured works by five faculty members which depicted a wide range of media. Ceramics, sculpture, painting, drawings, collage and pho-, ' tography highlighted the exhibit. Appreciative viewers sought out the price tags on several of the original creations. One exhibit that was definitely not for sale was a self-portrait by Eickhorst. The byzantine icon possessed a mystic quality by the use of multiple images zeroxed of his face and photographs of him. A central burst of light radiating from the middle gave it a religious quality, Eickhorst explained. Department Chairperson, Jane Nelson displayed her talent in works that showed a multi-faceted understanding of a multi- tude of mediums. Ceramics instructor, Jim Estes, put together a display of ceramic and pottery utensils. Jeanne Harmon demonstrated her skills in the darkroom as she displayed examples of her photography. y While Harmon resorted to etching images on film, Jack Hughes opted to etch images on plates to be utilized in the art of printmaking. Though all the exhibits were created from an inner need in the artist, they also served a monetary need as many were sold. Others, however, couldn't be severed from the artist at any price. 112 l Faculty Art Show Kaal LOGAN Art instructors struggle over the creation of projects for the Faculty Art Show.

Climbing rates on the simple things in life - food, shelter, and clothes - have made the cost of love rise along with the rest. The feelings of love may be there, but the money is usually absent for many of the love-struck romantics. Most of us, undoubtedly, will be searching out more realistic gifts for this day of love. Wanting these to be treasured, a certain amount of time and thought will have to go into this matter. 50 as not to appear tight of pocket, perhaps a romantic, candle-lit dinner for two could be the first of many surprises. A little wine, a little song, followed by a dozen red roses will probably turn into an evening the two of you will never forget. After the red stemmed flowers are presented, a mutually agreed upon movie can be shared. A glass of champagne to toast the end of the perfect evening and you have now successfully managed to carry off the holiday for lovers. A word to the wise: if you plan this sort of romantic interlude for that someone special, start preparing in advance. it could be somewhat of a struggle to finance that trip down lov- er's lane.

A Sweethe art Of A Gal ARMSTRONG The dorm council candidate was crowned 1982 Sweetheart Queen dur- ing half-time of the Feb. 12 MWSC- Kearney State basketball game in the fieldhouse. Sharon Christian was presented the queen's tiara by Kendall Misemer. The data processing major is a gradu- ate of Truman High School in Indepen- dence. She served on the dorm council as a resident assistant and enjoys cooking, reading, tennis, and racquetball. The queen and her court reigned over the remainder of the game and over the Sweetheart Dance held at the Ramada Inn. Her court included Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity candidate and Sweetheart Maid of Honor Kay Barton; Newman Club candidate Doris En- geman; Western Athletic Association candidate Connie Henning; and Phi Sig- ma Epsilon candidate Trudy Wright.

But itcan be humorous as the college production of the 1936 off-beat comedy by Moss Mart and George S. Kaufman proved. The cast's portrayal of the Kirbys and the Sycamores brightened the dark theatre for five performances. The somewhat eccentric Sycamore family of assorted crazies has but one serious member, Alice. iKathryn Camp- belll Their lifestyle clashes with the ex- pectations of a business tycoon and his sophisticated wife when their son falls in love with and wishes to marry Alice. Alice's careful plans for the introduc- tion of the two families hinges on a for- mal dinner which will give her family a formal civilized appearance. Her boy- friend Tony iRob Longl allows his parents to arrive one night early. The Kirby's find Alice's household in a state of mass con- fusion. The total impact of this meeting could not have conveyed without the efforts of a few backstage hands equipped with some light bulbs and firecrackers. Being afraid ofheights is not a requirement to be on light crew. The artists behind the scene had re- hearsed as long and hard as the actors on stage. Soft, rosy lights highlighted the scen- ery. Lamps created a realistic lighting effect. The slow dimming of lights car- ried the audience through the transition from sunrise to sunset. Lighting was con- trolled from a running board for the most part, according to Kim McCue, member of the running crew for lighting. It was my first full show and really a lot of fun. Kim said. Jeff Green taught me a lot. It was quite an experience. I can't wait until the next play; I really liked doing lighting and I'm sure I'll do a lot more of it. The sound effects were also attention getters. A fireworks display was re- sponsible for the audience jumping in the first act. The thunderous clap of fire- crackers signified the Sycamore's inven- tor-in-residence at work. Janet Wade handled sound on the running crew and Bill Bridwell was credited for sound pro- duction.

The second annual campus alll- nighter has a growing reputation for itself and totally sold itself, ,Burchard said. The only complaint we have received was that it was too short. News of the event was spread by word of mouth and an extensive pub- licity campaign that included balloon in classrooms. The aII-nighter was planned for basically non-competitive activities, but prizes donated by Coors were offered as a little added initiative to get people there and participate in the many activities going on each hour. Prizes included hats, baseball t- shirts, frisbees, cups and posters with the Coors and all-nighter emblems on them. Burger King and Pepsi provided free refreshments for those on hand. Students forgot their problems, dropped their inhibitions and just went out and had a good time. The alI-nighter provided them with something totally different to enjoy. And no one that took the time to attend was left out, because there was something for everyone. It was just good old fashioned fun for the students, Burchard said.

The item in question is the show case on the third floor of the Administration Building. it is used by the business de- partment to give students practical ex- perience in advertising. According to Kevin Elliot, retailing instructor, The window, which is 5 feet deep by 25 feet long and 7 feet high, gives students practical, hands- on experience in designing a retail window. The retailing Class is orga- nized into groups of five to six people who plan and design their particular window display. The displays run ex- actly one week and draw attention of those attending class on the third floor. What goes in the window is up to the individual groups. The projects are graded on originality, creativity, col- ors, eye appeal, attention-getting potential and background. One of the best displays according to Elliot, was an advertisementfor Patee House. The display depicted a one-room school house in the 1800's. Another display, done by a group of recreational students, was entitled Let's Get Physical, prOmoting physical fitness. Reaction to the window has been positive on the most part.

Showcase t 123 Superbowl of Firsts lPONTlAC, Mich., Sunday Jan. 24le At 10 am. all roads led to the Silverdome and Superbowl XVI. Every highway within a five-mile radius of the dome was already jammed with anxious fans who either had tickets or hoped to buy them from scalpers, who were ask- ing anywhere from $150 to $300 per ticket. There were several peculiar facts about this particular game. Neither team has ever been to a superbowl for one. This was the first time since Superbowl Ill when the New York Jets defeated the Balti- more Colts 16-7 that both teams lacked previous super- bowl experience. The irony of this match-up was the fact that the Cincin- nati Bengals set record after record, yet the San Francisco forty-Niners walked away with the title. it was also the first time in superbowl history that the los- ing team had more total offen- sive yards than the winning team. The Bengals fumbled the ball four times during the first half. Quarterback Joe Montana capitalized on two of the turnovers with touch- downs and place kicker Ray Wersching turned the remain- ing two fumbles into field goals. Touchdowns, turnovers, and field goals culminated to give the Forty-Niners, led by head coach Bill Walsh, the national football league's highest honor. 124 f Bits and Pieces No Desire For The tReaI Thing, Though the demand for in- expensive replicas of Oriental artwork is on the rise, there is no demand for the real thing here in the Mid-West. On Nov. 17 the Student Union sponsored a sale of original Oriental art on the first floor of the College Cen- ter. Four tables held two to three piles of prints mounted on yellowing poster boards. For the most part, the prints were small, colorful scenes depicting life in the ancient Far East. Beautiful flowers and foliage also served as the focal point for the artists. All of the prints were origi- nal works done quite recently, only with a few done before 1960. Prices for even the tiniest print measuring approximate- ly 3 x 3 started at $6.50. The larger, more elaborate pieces sold for $45 and up. 1'I really don't think there's a big demand for art here, stated Oriental art enthusiast Brenda Preston. Even ifthere were, not many people could afford to buy it at the prices asked. The lack of ready cash was the reason given by a majority of students for not showing more interest. The display didn't make a splashy debut at the college and probably wasn't what the students first thought it would be. One thing is for sure, orig- inal Oriental art may be sell- ing well in other parts of the world, but here in the Mid- west, students would rather hang up a Playmate center- fold or an autographed pic- ture of the Muppets.

The non-denominational Bible study, headed by R.A. George Euler, is in its third year as a Thursday night dorm activity. In compliance with the re- quirement that all resident assistants organize a club, George simply continued with the Bible study he had formed as a freshman. Lead- ing a Bible study group was something he had always wanted to do so the rule mere- ly worked as an incentive to keep on. Though off to a slow start, the group gradually increased with time. Just out of curiosity or due to a suitmate's par- ticipation, students from all casual attire even rarer. The performer entered the stage wearing the classic musician's predictable black tuxedo and carrying a large acoustic guitar. He seated himself upon a small, wooden bench at the center of the stage.

Roan took brief, polite bows, but rarely looked at his listeners. He spoke only once, to shy- ly address the audience on the backgr0und of the music he played. The music was unfamiliar to the ears of those present. It may have been a disappoint- ment to members of the audi- ence who expected a com- temporary style, but instead received pure eighteenth cen- tury Bach. Bored spectators were seen slipping from their seats and into the passageways that led to the lobby. Was this the fault of Neill Archer Roan, a celebrated musician?

ARMSTRONG ARMSTRONG Men's Basketball 7 129 he Griffons realized a dream-type year that may very well be the best in the school's brief athletic history. When a basketball team comes off a dismal 9-18 year like the one that the Golden Griffons had during the 1980-81 season and returns much the same personnel, the hopes for a national tournament appearance might seem a little far- fetched. But for a group of young men with a great deal of character and desire the task was well within reach. During pre-season media banquets, the conference and district coaches expected improvement from the Griffons, but picked them to finish no better than third and sixth respective- ly. Coach Filbert let his forces do their talking on the court. In an early season district 16 grudge match, the Griffons took on perennial powerhouse Rockhurst at home and dis- played what was to be an omen for the future as they disposed of the Hawks 62-54. Junior Pete McNeal, Western's only off-season acquisition showed the form that would make him a first team district and conference performer with 15 rebounds. Now that may not seem like a spectacular effort, but at six-footeven, forward McNeal displayed an uncanny ability to mix it up inside with opponents much taller. The Kankakee, Illinois native came to Missouri Western by way of Moberly Junior College, as did senior guard Tyrone Crawford and all-time Griffon great Larry Gator Rivers, now of course, a Harlem Globetrotter. 130 r Men's Basketball The Griffs were 8-1 heading into their yearly excursion, which this year took them to Oxford, Mississippi to play division 1 SEC member Ole Miss. The Griffs had recorded district wins over UMKC and Avila. The Griffons held their own against the much taller Rebels absorbing a 71-56 loss. After tasting defeat for only the second time, the Griffs ran off an eleven game winning streak over a heavy conference schedule. The stretch included big wins over Missouri South- ern and Kearney State on the road. Kearney State repaid the favor on their trip to St. Joseph breaking the string and handing the Griffons their first loss ever in the new fieldhouse. The Griffs finished off the regular sea- son with two consecutive losses to Emporia State and Rock- hurst on the road, winding up with a 22-6 mark. The latter game was played after the final district ratings and meant virtually nothing as far as each team was concerned. The teams would meet later with more on the line. The ratings put the Griffs behind the Hawks on the final rating, least behind them as far as district rater Dick Dunkel was concerned. Dunkel has long been a nemesis of Coach Filbert and the other district coaches. The Griffons went on to prove in the playoffs just how valid those ratings were.

Somebody did laugh. In fact, laughs echoed around the locker room as Head Coach Gary Filbert and troops compounded a 22-6 regular season mark. Western tipped off the post season action by hosting Tarkio in the first round of the District 16 Playoffs. Led by senior guard Tyrone Crawford, the Griffs sent the Owls back to the woods with a 77-54 thrashing. The Griffons next victim was the Avila Avalanche. The Griffs turned away the Avalanche with a 89-82 whipping. A school scoring record fell that night as forward Pete McNeal dazzled the 1800 fans with an offensive display that resembled an aerial bombardment on the basket. The hot handed junior hit 9 of 14 free throws and 20 of 27 field goals for a total of 49 points. The team then travelled to Rockhurst for the championship game to determine who would make the trip to nationals. The loss of the homecourt advantage to the Dunkel ratings didn't seem to bother the Griffs as they came outwith an exciting 71-64 'victory. Pete McNeal and Tyrone Crawford led the way as they teamed up for 37 points. The win gave the Griffs the right to meet 1 1 Western Oregon in the national tournament. Before a crowd of more than 10,000 people on March 8 the Griffs dropped a 76-63 decision. Pete McNeal led the squad ; 1 with 21 points while Kenny Brown, playing in his last game, i finished with 18. Despite losing the first game in the national tournament the Griffs had nothing to frown about after the 1981 season. In fact, laughing could be heard as the 1982 Griffons laughed their way right into the record books.

Coming off of a 1980-81 season that saw them take the district and Area IV championships which vaulted them into a national tournament appearance, the Lady Griffs seemed to be , ' in the driver's seat once again. ' Add to it the fact that the team had lost only one player in the form of Barb Gudde from last year's 24-7 team and you have the nucleus for an even greater season. Coach Debbie Bumpus faced a very tough early season schedule that included the same Northern State, SD, that eliminated the Lady Griffs in the NAIA Nationals last season. The competition stiffened with sucessive games against the Northwest Missouri State Bearkittens, Midland Lutheran, and Grand View OAT. The Northwest contest was a brightspot in an otherwise disappointing start. The Lady Griffs took the measure of the Kittens by an 80-71 margin in Maryville.

The UMKC game in Kansas City provided the spring-board for a rejuvenated Lady Griffon effort that produced an eight game winning streak. The streak included victories over Emporia State, Wash- burn, NEMSU, Fort Hays State, Kearney State, Wayne State, and Pittsburg State. The string was broken by arch rival Mis- souri Southern in Joplin 65-63. The Lady Griffons concluded the season with four straight wins over Kearney, Fort Hays, Washburn, and Emporia. Those four victories insured the Lady Griffs of their first CSIC cham- pionship with an 11-3 conference mark. Local Central product LeAnn Martens finished strong pick- ing up the scoring and rebounding slack. Martens teamed with Stalwarts Sherwood, Myasthia Kelley, and Jackie Dudley were able to salvage a respectable regular season. For the season the Ladies finished 15-8 with an 11-3 confer- ence mark and 1-2 district 16 record. Both losses coming at the hands of Missouri Southern. Unfortunately, the Lady Griffs would have to face that same tough Lady Lion team in the first round of the District 16 playoffs. With the way the regular season finished the Lady Griffs had high hopes of another visit to Kansas City. The roller coaster year was finally on the way up after a dismal start. Sherwood and Kelley were beginning to jell and give the sustained effort that coaches Bumpus and Hartenbower were accustomed. Dudley wanted to end her playing career on a high note as did the restofthe senior members. Butone player was missing. Where was captain Kay Barton? In a suprising disciplinary move she was asked to leave the team during the latter portion 0fthe season. A conflict of interests was given as the reason for the hasty action. This may have had an effect, no matter how minute, on the Lady Griffs performance in some way. Nevertheless the team entered the playoffs in Joplin with optimism despite an 0-2 record against their foe Missouri Southern. This marked the season's end, however, with the Lady Lions inflicting a 55-48 loss on the Lady Griffs and dashing all hopes of a return trip to the nationals.

I also think itwill be around for a' long time because people like anything that has to do with music, Vickie Keegstra, aerobic instructorl stated. , Intramural aerobic dance classes were held weekly in the Rathskeller with Stephanie Miller as the instructor. Also offered were aerobic dance classes with Keegstra for credit and through Continuing Education with Sue White instructing. Participants ranged from pre-schoolers to senior citizens. liAerobics is a word coined by Dr. Kenneth Cooper that means with air. The benefit of aerobic dance is to strengthen the cardiovascular system. It increases the air intake of the lungs so people build-up endurance. People need exercise, but they don't do any- thing. They sit around expecting to stay intshape, said Keegstra. Presently only women take part in these classes, but Keegstra feels this will change. As an enjoyable alterna- tive to jogging, dance improves fitness and appearance which is central to both sexes. All of the classes used Mary Mayta's aerobic material for instruction. Music ranged from Greatest American Regardless of age or sex, exercise is a vital component to total fitness and aerobic dance meets this need plus provides an outlet for stress.

The task of casting a college theat- rical production is a time-consuming, mind-wearing process. Two hour auditions for Time of Your Life were set for the nights of March 1 and 2. The third was set aside for call-backs. 140 i Auditions Over 70 people read for the 27 member work. To start off the second night of audi- tions, four people from the night be- fore read a short scene. Other hopefuls sat in the audience, their eyes intent on the stage action.

LAFFEliTY a relatively new program in the English department. Internships in English and Journalism have been offered for the last two-and-a-half years. These are open to juniors and seniors with declared majors in English and those with a journalism minor. Jane Frick, co-ordinatorofthe program, says that the experi- ence enhances the students' work background. There are other advantages to gaining practical work experi- ence, she says. It reinforces the idea of accuracy, and the ability to write. It also helps in learning to analyze problems. Secondly, it in- spires self-confidence. Internship experience benefits not only the student, but the , employer as well. It supplies him with a steady pool of highly- qualified people. There is also the possibility that the employer could havea fully trained employee when the student finishes school. Lynda Orth, a student majoring in English with a writing emphasis, is interning at Wire Rope Corporation. She helps put together Rope Talk, a publication for the employees of the company. She says, They've given me a lot of responsibility. It's fun. The spring semester is her second semester at Wire Rope, as an intern. She already has a position there for the summer, at least part-time. Another student taking advantage of the program is A.J. Adkins. He's working at St. Joseph Light and Power. He also helps to publish a newsletter for the employees, The Clip. He says that his internship is excellent experience of the practical aspect of what I learn. Both students say that applying for the internship is like applying for a real, full-time position with the company. Employers expect good work, but are helpful in explaining anything the student might not understand. They add that sometimes the employer doesn't know quite what to expect of the student. When the student proves that he can do the work, the employer adds more responsibility. ln-the spring of this year, there were nine students accepted for the experience, from a field of 17 applicants. Frick explains that although the program is not highly com- petitive yet, some students were not accepted because they didn't fulfill the requirements. Some were not of junior or senior standing, or were not declared majors. Students should also put together a resume and portfolio in preparation for the interview with the prospective employer. It is completely up to the student to establish contact and secure the position for the intership. Orth says that the experience has been a good one. It has helped define her career objectives. I didn't really know how unsure l was until I went there. It really helped me decide what I want to do. Internship l 143 Day of Reckoning . . . or Ridicule Mountains there is an abandoned gold mine shaft. Perched on a rock inside the dark, damp, deserted mine shaft a tall, lanky man mumbled to himself.

Then with a hideous frown he slung the tin can into the far darkness of the shaft. Damn, as if it ain't bad enough, I've got to be stuck here with thirty- seven cases of that lousy army food. I guess I'll have to learn to like it; I've got enough to last me a hundred and twen- ty days,'I Lester spoke as he pulled the fur-lined hood of his arctic parka on to his frost-bitten bald head. He then slipped his cold, skinny hand into his coat pocket. In his right pocket he felt a slip of paper. He pulled it out and started at it. It was a Master Charge In the high uninhabited Rocky I44 I End of World By David Frakes receipt from The Great Outdoors Sporting Goods Store in Reno, NV. The total amount of the receipt was $984. Man, I thought I was pulling a sly one, charging all my survival gear, figuring that nobody would be around to collect. Well, I came prepared any- how, I got my 100 percent down filled sleeping bag, a combination shovel and trenching tool, a small tent, a snake bite kit, a two-quart canteen, a compass, a campers hatchet, a Cole- man lantern, a Ronco pocket fisher- man and tackle box and an inflatable rubber raft tjust in case oftidal wavel. Lester sat quietly on the large, hard rock inside the mine shaft. Suddenly he began to chuckle, I remember tell- ing Judy about my plans to save us from the end. You know I don'tthink I had ever seen her laugh that hard in all my life. She was lying on the couch watching HA5 The World Turns. When I began to tell her about leaving for the mountains to escape the killer tidal waves, she began to giggle. By the time I told her California would slide off into the ocean, she was laughing so hard tears were running down her plump little face. When I finished she was rolling on the floor yelling, Stop it, stop it, You crack me up, Lester! The same thing happened when I tried to convince the boys at the garage and down at the bowling alley. They roared with laughter and asked if they could have a bottle ofwhatever it was I was drinking. Lester stood up and began to pace the cluttered dirt floor of the shaft. As he spoke his voice developed a bitter tone. Damn e I thought I'd be the one laughing when they were swept away by the gigantic tidal waves or crushed by the killer earthquakes, he rubbed his pointed chin feeling a four-day growth of beard. llThere is no way I can go back home and face everybody. I would never live it down, not to mention the five speeding tickets I got driving up here, which I immediately tore up. My picture will be hanging on the bulletin board down at the post office. That'll give everybody something else to laugh about. Lester walked out of the musty, damp, shaft and gazed at the sun rays sprinkling through the pine needles down on the forest floor. What do I do now? he asked him- self. Swallow my foolish pride and go home or stay out here all alone. Oh well, I've got a hundred and twenty days to think about it. It's such a beautiful day I could throw up. Lester moaned as he plopped down on a log near the entrance of the mine shaft. lg ule Ie boys at the garage lowling alley.

HI would like to think that people think I do more than make a fool of myself on the football field. George Plimpton admits that enter- ing other people's professions assures humiliation. But he also feelsthat it isa useful way for a writer to research a topic. This practice has been named par- ticipatory journalism. Plimpton has been called an expert amateur for the many varied professions he has temporarily entered. He has, for example, played profes- sional football, hockey and baseball. He has boxed a 23 second bout with light weight champion Archie Moore after a year of intense preparation which included a 13-mile daily run, These experiences have provided material for his many books. Although many of Plimpton's books deal with sports, not all his experi- ences are limited to the sports world. He has also been a comedian in Las Vegas, including Reds an extra in several movies, a wildlife photog- rapher in Africa and a triangle musi- cian with the New York Philharmonic.

He pitched to Willie Mays and battled it out on a tennis court with Pancho Gonzales. He has played pro- fessional football twice. When asked why he did something like that twice, he replied I've often wondered that myself. It was, however, the subject for a second book on the sport entitled Mad Ducks and Bears. One ofthe constants he has found in sports is that people have a big sense of humor. He says, It is an attempt to survive a children's game that has been blown to devastating propor- tions. ' Speaking of participatory journal- ism, he says, I wouldnlt recommend it for budding journalists. One reason, he Cites, isthatjournal- ists must first develop their own indi- vidual style. And, of writing, he warns, The longest distance in the world is be- tween what is in your mind and what comes out on the page. SAVING Color Amongst the Clutter The desk was hardly recognizable with the books, papers and pencils scattered upon it. The books on the shelves echoed their clutter with dif- ferent shapes, sizes and colors as if they had been thrown there. Despite the clutter and disorganization of Dr. James Bargar's office, there was a re- laxed feeling that brought but its own unity and inner peace. At first glance, the pictures along the walls resembled nothing but blobs of colors and lines, but after a bit of'scru- tiny they became an inner expression of some group's personality. The pic- tures are unique because through indi- vidual effort they express a group's identity. This proves that even within a group individuality exists. Bargar's mental hygeine class con- sists of twenty-five students. At the be- ginning of the semester they are formed into three groups of seven stu- dents. They are given the responsibil- ity of bringing their own water colors, brushes and something to paint on. 150 i Bargar's Office Their main project is to paint a pic- ture that represents their group. Each group is to select a representative, who is placed in the middle of the room. They are the only three people that have the authority to talk. They're in- structed to choose the best of the paint- ings displayed. The rest of the class is to remain silent and write notes as their only mode of communication. One of the goals the students are aiming to reach is a level of personal investment. The students become emotionally and personally involved in their work and after they have con- tributed to their project they begin seeing and understanding themselves. To some, this may be threatening be- cause they feel a part of them may be revealed through their emotions that they're not wanting to express. Another goal is to structure the group processes into aspects of good dynamics. By structuring, some of the students are allowed to talk while others can- not. They experience the responsibility of being a representative and making a decision for their group. This is based on competitiveness, and the elements of becoming upset and angry play a very important part. Bar- gar shared an experience he had en- countered at a different school. He says, One particular situation that occured was when a student became very upset and walked out of the class. He felt he had contributed a great deal of work to his painting and when his wasn't chosen one of the best, he be- came emotionally upset. Throughout the semester the group becomes well established and are brought closer together. They have a good feeling toward themselves by knowing they areilearning and sharing with one anohter. Scrutinizing a group's poster, Dr. lames Bargar explains that individuality exists even within the confines of group artistic expression.

Scanning the class schedules, I diligently searched for classes that would fit my routine. Eight o'clock classes were out of the question. This would leave me no way to get my son to school.

The day I watched the kidnapping, I called my son's sitter five times to make sure he was there. Actually, my standards for Class times were not really all that high. But there were time slots that were simply out of the question. A soap opera addict can only go so long without their fix before the withdrawal sets in.

Beginning at noon, Ientered into the perils of soap- dom by watching All My Children. In the next hour, I became engrossed with Clint's problems of One Life To Live.

That way, I would be prepared for the worst. I even adorned the rear of my car with Who Shot J.R.? bumper stickers. The labor of arranging my schedule around these daytime and prime-time soaps brought me to the realization that I would have to give up some- thing: the soaps, the education, the child or the marriage. Education is what put me in this quandry in the first place. This, above all else, had to be kept. Maternal in- stinct being strong, I kept the child. It was a tough decision between the marriage and the soaps. Being unem- ployed, I played it safe and chose the marriage. At least my college educa- tion would be paid for this way. . When the semester began, I did not escape the 8 am. class - nor the 9, 10, or 11 am. ones.

Buried within it are last night's par- ty, the remainder of yesterday's cafeteria sack lunch, and the letter from home inquiring about your grades. To the garbageman it's simply another load for the dump. These garbage men go about their job intently, yet below the surface seethes the blood of men who are abused, misunderstood, yet proud of their work. Like an army, they hit the streets at 6 for another routine day, joking and commenting on the day's weather. The sun's not yet high in the sky, but the humidity in the air tells the men it will be a hot day. Warm days are the worst for the garbage man. Most people take for granted that the seasons are the same for us, com- mented one of the crew. Actually, winter's not too bad. Sure the cans are cold, but everythingis frozen and it doesn't stink as bad. In the summer, 154 i Garbage Refuse though, the garbage rots and the flies get thick. I've seen more than one man get sick. LAFFERTY The days are long for the garbage man, taking anywhere from eight to ten hours to complete his appointed route. The work's not easy and the social stigma attached with the job makes it even tougher. Sometimes my kids are sort of embarrassed about filling out cards at school when they have to put down their father's occupation, stated one member of the crew. But they under- stand and anyhow it's a hell of a lot better than gettin' food stamps. Though the misunderstanding of garbage men is present in St. Joseph, it's not as bad as in the larger cities. This is mainly due to the different sys- tem St. Joseph employs.

Most of the larger contrac- tors not engaged with the city contract resort to trash collection for most of their revenue. Though garbage collection is often classified among the lowliest of tasks, It's a hell of a lot better than gettin' food stamps. there are redeeming aspects of the job. For example, the large masses piled behind garages, dotted with the yel- lows and greens of banana peels and leafy vegetables sometimes contain objects of value. The list of salvagable treasures includes clock parts, bicycle parts and a multitude of miscellaneous goodies. Some of the guys collect copper , from the trash, stated one man. It gives them a little extra income on the side. There is also a personal side to gar- bage collection. Though abuse of the garbage man still reflects a prevalent attitude, there are those who wait for the men to make their stops. For some old people, we're the only guys they see all week. We see them more than their families. Theylre happy to see us. It's a pleasant change to what we usually get when we're on the streets, related the elder member LAFFERTY of the crew.

Garbage t 155 The first poi tion is an imp the percentofl Dispelling misconceptions about THE GRIM REEFER By John Vanderpool n a small, conservative, Midwest- ern town, any mention ofthe legal- ization of marijuana might rekin- dle memories of the movie HReefer Madness. One can see Floyd at the local tavern expressing to his cohorts that any legalization of pot would in- evitably lead to mass hysteria, murder, suicide and God help us, even more sexual promiscuity. Misconceptions such as these have been coupled with pot and its pro- posed legalization since the early 19605 when the country was mired in the wake of a winless war and faced with a rebellious youth movement of which pot was an integral element. Since then, Iiberal-minded citizens have pushed for legalization of pot as the social rebellion of the 19605 and 19705 subsided. The emotionalism has worn off, pointed out John Searle, philosopher and social commentator at the Uni- versity of California, in a Kansas City Star article. During the Vietnam War itwas almost a political act to smoke it, but now people take it on its own terms. Despite the fact that much of the emotionalism has dissipated, there are still several frustrated people who are tired of dealing with timid legislators afraid to take the political plunge by proposing legalization of marijuana. John Kaplan, professor of law at Stanford University, rose to the fore- RICHT, Due to its illegal nature, large amounts of money are needed to purchase miniscule amounts of marijuana. INSET, Legal or not, the American public will continue to use marijuana in mass quantities. 156 l Marijuana s l -... -- A yaamng-Maaa,e a .7 front as a leader and proponent of possible legislative reformation. Kaplan proposed a four point plan which is generally accepted as the ma- jor thrust of the legalization propo- nents. The four points include: 11 regulating potency of the product 21 determining proper taxation levels 31 adopting a licensing system 41 de- veloping an educational program. 1.5 percent 1 controls on a would also pri being laced Vi such as PCP. Perhaps the of the four p0 In 1978 betWI pounds of pot country resulti tween four a: Thus, the sale came the large United States. Cigarette tax, v dreds of millic The third po is to develop potential sale clude: 1i iroduct 21 1 levels 31 m 41 de- igram. The first point in Kaplanls proposi- tion is an important one. Regulating the percent of tetrahydrocannabinol to 1.5 percent would parallel current controls on alcohol. This regulation would also prevent the danger of pot being laced with some harsher drug such as PCP. Perhaps the most appealing aspect of the four point program is taxation. In 1978 between 15 and 20 million pounds of pot was smuggled into the country resulting in gross sales of be- tween four and five billion dollars. Thus the sale and import of pot be- came the largest illegal business in the United States. A taxation, similar to a cigarette tax, would translate into hun- dreds of millions of dollars. The third point on Kaplan's program is to develop a licensing system for potential sales of the product. This would correlate to licensing of alcohol and forfirearms. This point would also eliminate the risky back alley sale of potl now so prevalent. The fourth aspect is to develop an educational program alerting citizens The sale and import of pot be- came the largest illegal business in the United States. to the potential dangers and advan- tages of marijuana smoking. Opponents of legalization rebut with the fear of widespread use of the . drugLOf course it would increase us- age, but the facts show that usage is spreading rapidly anyway, so why not tax and regulate it? Another stumbling block is the gov- ernment who will insist that legalizing pot infers endorsement of its use. On the contrary, legality does not imply government endorsement but indeed implies government concern. The talk of legalization of marijuana will continue in the taverns of the Mid- west. Unfortuantely, the only conclu- sion arrived at will be that there is no conclusion. But wouldn't Floyd be surprised to hear that marijuana raised for hemp to make rope was the major crop in this area in the 1840s and. 18505? Open accessibility to paraphernalia, such as pipes, bongs and hemostats, further emphasizes the ridiculous nature of outdated marijuana laws. SCHOENHOF rr, Marijuana l 157 x A Step Beyond the Ordinary 0 not expect a typical lecture class when Dr. Arthur Ruffino walks into your classroom. In fact, do not expect anything of the nor- mal classroom structure because you'll be disappointed. Ruffino is a teacher in the Speech and Theater Department. But unlike most of his colleagues throughout the school, he believes in the nonconven- tional style of teaching. The methods used by Ruffino are based on his belief that to learn a con- 158 i Ruffino .ng 9 1 Qty , cept the students must have experi- enced it, if not in real life situations then in created environments. These techniques provide a lasting imprint on the students that they are not likely to just forget after their final examina- tion. For example, when Ruffino wants his nonverbal communication stu- dents to understand isolation or the feeling of nothingness, he doesn't lecture for an hour and send them on their way. He will create isolation, K: most commonly called his pool ex- periment, and let them experience the isolation themselves. In this pool experiment, the students stand in water at chin level with all light and sound blocked out by blind- folds and earplugs. At the conclusion, the students have experienced the slow movement oftime, the loneliness and the fear of nothingness. This is something that each person benefits from and something they aren't likely to forget. In another experiment, the nonver- bal Class has the chance to experience actual prejudices. This year's class created a small minority by painting half of their faces black and the other half white. They did not feel like a part of anything outside their own little group. And even within their group, they felt the anxiety of conformity. Everyone was exactly alike, and no one had an individual identity. I will never forget that experiment tthe painted facel. For one day I lost my identity, said Deanna Moore. No one knew who I was and no one wanted to talk to me.

Although most of Ruffino's students like his classes and his unusual methods of teaching, there is a lot of controversy concerning him and his techniques. The controversy of Ruffi- no's nonconventional methods is however limited. Some strongly sup- port these techniques. But there are also those who do not understand them. For the second year in a row Ruffino was given a marginal teacher rating by his department chairman and a rec- commendation to deny his reappoint- ment. Forithe second time the ad- ministration has over-ruled this reccomendation. I seem to have the students behind me. They like the different approach to learning. But the conventional teacher doesnlt always agree with my methods, said Ruffino. It's frustrat- ing knowing that my next move might DAHL get me fired. But I can't change to a conventional way of teaching when I think my methods are the most effec- tive. Nonconventional simply means out of the ordinary. Ruffino isn't ordinary. He is a step beyond. Office decor is one ofthe daily reminders of Dr. Ruffinois uniqueness as an instructor and col- league. Ruffino I 159 Apparently SGA is no LAFFing Matter satisfied to lose if it brought out enough students that cared enough to vote against me. I know I have a lot of supporters so it will take quite a few people who are opposed to the idea of me as president. Those were sentiments expressed by Bruce Lafferty prior to his loss to Jackie Kennedy in the race for SGA president. There were rumors at the onset of the primaries that some ofthe administration and past president Kensell Misemer were against the idea of Lafferty leading the Student Government Association due to his illustrious past and notorious reputa- tion as a practical joker. Lafferty and his running mate, Kevin Echterling, initiated the Beach Party, a platform named after Lafferty's infamous dorm party of a few years back that came complete with sev- eral tons of sand. Their campaign slo- gan, Question Authority, raised a few eyebrows of the powers-that-be in the College Center. But any rumors of enforcing clauses in I I I want to win, but I would be '. Jm 160 l Elections tiny print wereldispelled as Lafferty and Echterling made it through the primaries knocking Ralph Imlay and Juliann Boswell out of the race. The candidates' debate established the fact that both can- didates were intent on winning and effi- ciently chairing the SGA. Kennedy and vice-president hopeful Craig Gilley in- sisted that previous leadership experi- ences made them the best-qualified. Communication, they impressed, was the key to success in any endeavor and was vital to keeping the administration, faculty and students in touch. Lafferty and Echterling felt they were more on the level of the average student and therefore most apt to know their needs. A sense of humor, Lafferty said in all seriousness, was essential and their campaign promise to make ivy grow on all the buildings if elected was a prime example. They were not, as reported, Voters make their choices as SGA President Kenv dall Misemer oversees the process. out to destroy the Student Senate.

They can be big, such as popular country sales, or small, like the Second Annual Flea Market, held in April at the Nelle Blum College Center. The two-day event drew five campus organizations, a potter and a doll-maker. It also drew many student and community bargain-hunters, who found bargain books, records, coffee mugs, raffle tickets, clothes, Hawaiian leis, wigs, bed sheets and ashtrays, just to name a few. Also at the College Center Board-sponsored event were cartoonistXcomedian Steve Gipson and glass artist Carl Hen- 162 Hunk don. The artist created and the comedian performed before the eyes oftheir audience. According to Dean of Students Forrest Hoff, the flea market is an event in which students can get involved with the col- lege and during which organizations are able to raise money. In terms of last year's flea market, this year's was very success- ful. I'd like to see it as an annual event that people look forward to, for both buying and selling.

Tillie Olsen lives and relates these words with a zeal and passion which seems to affirm her zest for life. On April 19 these words came to life as Olsen gave a reading in LRC 111. Born in Nebraska in 1913, Olsen was a Depression high school drop- out. Early in life she became part ofthe working world of everyday jobs. The necessity to work and support four children silenced her for some twenty years. It wasn't until her mid-40's that she began to write again. This period was not entirely a nega- tive one, however, as she places great emphasis on the experiences of this time in her life. People don't realize the impor- tance of their own experiences, re- lated Olsen. The experience of being silenced by economic and sociological factors is a recurring theme in her writing. A pop- ular example of this is her book, Si- lences, a collection of essays on the relationship between circumstances and human creativity. After a passionate reading of I Stand Here Ironing Olsen turned from writer to philosopher as she com- mented on the state of human affairs. ' All of you who are young should have life, commented Olsen, but you won't unless we do something about the state of things. Her obvious references to nuclear annihilation were more than a rebel- lion, but rather an emotional plea for the continuation of life. This feeling of responsibility for hu- man life is simply an affirmaton of her zest for life. Tillie Olsen is 70 going on 21, and her ideas echo a youthful yet passionate ideal that we are human beings with a divine spirit and inate creativity. In a reflective moment Tillie Olsen, guest author and lecturer, ponders the perplexities of the so- ciety she feels a responsibility for. 164 tTillie Olsen All of you who are young should have life, but you won't unless we do something about the state of things.

Twenty-two years ago it 960i, my first short story, A Penny forthe Ferryman, appeared in New World Writing eIt16. Tillie Olsen's story Tell Me a Riddle appeared in the same volume. I wrote to Tillie, she responded, and when I went to San Francisco that summer, I visited her ather home. Ofthatvisit, I rememberthe following things. She showed me her workroom, where there were pictures of famous writers tVirginia Woolf, for in- stancei on the walls. She told me that it was inspiring to work with these writers looking down at her every morning. I re- member also that her daughter played the guitar, we drank tea tor it may have been beerI, I met her husband, a printer, and itwas a Sunday afternoon, a Sunday afternoon in August in San Francisco, with all that implies in terms of sky, wind, views, the rapid, convoluted clouds that roll in over the city after three o'clock. TiIlie pointed to a hill visible through the window and said, They're cutting down the trees up there. They've learned how to get water up there and now we'll have tra'ct houses on our hilIs instead of trees. I hadn't thought that much about trees before this. The ecology movement wasn't even a whisper on my mental ho- rizon. Since then I have thought a lot about them, thanks to Tillie. Over the years, we corresponded. Also, whenever I would find myself in' San Francisco, I would phone her. But until her visit to St. Joseph this year, we had not met since that afternoon in 1960. Twenty-two years! Tillie is now seventy years old. I am the age she was when she met me twenty-two years ago, forty-six. Fifty years ago, in 1932, she was here in St. Joseph, working in the Stockyards, organizing the workers. At that time, she was in her twenties, just about the age I was when I visited her in San Francisco in 1960. She had not seen St. Joseph since 1932. She wanted to see the Stockyards, or what's left ofthem, so I drove her to King HilI, so that she could look at them down below. She stood there on the hill and said, I walked down there with Red Allen fifty years ago. Red Allen was herfriend, the woman who worked with her in the Stockyards and helped her in her attempt to unionize the workers. Tillie,has not seen her since and she had hoped to find her on the visit to St. Joseph. We tried in every way we could, through articles in the paper and through the local library, to find Red Allen, but we failed. She seems to have disappeared without a trace. We walked in the brisk spring wind, in a sweet light, looking for greens, just as the mother in Tillie's novel Yonnondio does. But it is really too early for good dandelion greens, she said. She asked me about the names of the trees. The purple ones are redbud, I said. And the state tree? IIThe flowering dogwood, I replied. But others could have been plum or cherry. I wasn't sure. It was a good day for blossoming trees. On the south side of King Hill, we saw a woman about Tillie's age taking in her sheets and blankets off the line. Tillie's visitcame at the height of the latest wave of Bomb Terror, officially sanctioned, pushed at us daily over the media. I was having periodic visions of vaporization, thinking every day of the extermination of all life on this planet. And here was a woman, beautifully, humanly taking sheets and blankets off the line, looking as ifshe had stepped out of one ofTillie's stories. There were three cats on the grass at her feet, beautiful in their essen- tial catness. The woman wore those low-heeled black shoes all women of that age seem to wear ithough not Tillie, who wore green onesI and her stockings were rolled down to her ankles. I waved and, because it was chilly, the woman laughed and ran her hands over her bare arms, saying, ltBrr, brr, brr,! In the mid- dle of the Bomb Terror, with visions of vaporization in my mind, it was a sight to stir the blood, believe me. Tillie and I looked west over Kansas, from the top of the hill. I said, I'lndian chiefs were brought here to die, in the days before the white man came, be- cause it was believed that at the moment of death their souls would pass into the sunset and from there to a better world. Tillie said, Yes, they always sought the . highest point of land. Then she said, I suppose this is where couples come to do what we called IspooningI in my youth. Yes, Ianswered. They make out up here. You can see by the shape of the hill . . . Well, it must always have suggested the contours of the human body, the breast perhaps. Of course it's been flattened to make a parking lot, but you can still sense it, all the energy, all the fertility, all the life. And Tillie said, All that life here, generations of it. Pass- ing away and going on, too. It's still here. It's still going on. I said there was a I'dig somewhere on the hill and that mound builders had lived here six centu- ries ago. There was a kind of poignancy in Tillie's visit. It was spring, after a terrible winter, and there was the- Bomb Terror treplaced a week or so later with fifteen minute bulletins about war between En- gland and Argentina over some remote, icy island in the South AtlanticI, and the fact that she had not been to St. Joseph in 50 years and that, given her age, I might not see her again. Butwe threw it back in the face of Time and beat Time at his own game, for a few minutes, from the top of King Hill, looking down at all that fresh life exploding from the earth. So much life, she said. Passing away and going on forever. J Tillie Olsen t 165 Ladies and Gentlemen! Step right up!

The two ofd Frisbee masters performed their stunts to 1 mm the onlooking crowd, on the lawn, be- hind the Administration building. The two tricksters dazzled the crowd with demonstrations in free style frisbee, as well as distance frisbee throwing. Originally, as Crazy John ex- plained, the frisbee was invented in 1948 by Fred Morrison who studied air worthy pie pans used by the now defunct Frisbie Bakery Company. Later, Harvard students began taking the pie pans to school to toss around between Classes. Thus, the birth of the frisbee. And since that time, the sport has grown in popularity to become the eighth most popular outdoor activity, ac- cordingto a 1981 Gallop Poll. After explaining the roots of the frisbee 1'Crazy John and Rabdau taught differ- ent throwing techniques to the crowd. Then 30 persons were chosen, not to stick their heads into the lion's mouth, but to enter a throwing contest. Everyone came away a winner from the contest, and each of the volunteers got a piece of the circus ta free frisbeet to take home to Mom and Dad. Following the contest and the demon- strations from the two stunt men, there was a clinic hosted by Dr. John's circus to teach students the tricks of the trade, and how to tame a wild frisbee, without a whip. ii Frisbee artists Crazy john and Pat dazzle the noon- time crowd with frisbee antics. 166 t Frisbee n!

This is my third season and without a doubt this is the best team I've been with yet,'t said Stan Papciak. We were no more than six shots out of first behind KU, Baker, and MU in the Park College Invitational, and we beat such teams as Iowa a State and Kansas State, he said. After winning the CSIC conference championship for the first time and finishing third in District, the team realized a much sharper competitive edge. The team members felt they peaked justwhen they had to and Coach Charlie Burri agreed. If there was a turning point it was the break in the bad weather afterthe Park Invitational. The team had more oppor- tunities to practice, Burri commented. Mike Fasching's strong performances at the last of the season were just one of many encouraging signs. A late season injury' to team captain Greg Dunigan hurt the team's District title hopes. I'm a real- ist, these things happen, but Greg has done a good job for us, Burri said. Dunigan, Greg Diederich and John Leimbach all qualified for the All-Conference team. Diederich and Leimbach also collected AIl-District honors. This year's level of competition will open doors for future teams. Everyone but Dunigan will be back next year so we should have a good chance of going to Nationals, Papciak concluded.

With a dual match record of 7 and 4, the Griffon netters headed into post season competi- tion hoping to realize the potential they had shown all season long. We had good depth, but two of our top performers were hurt at key points in the season, this was tough to over- come, said coach Ron Selkirk. Richard Meeks was bothered by a tooth ailment and a cut on his right hand. Jerry Vanderpool suffered a severe sprained ankle in the climax of the con- ference tournament. I've played on three Griffon squads and this was the best, said Dan Heck- man. If it wasn't for the injuries we would, no doubt, have enjoyed a better sea- 174 7 Menls Tennis VANDERPOOL son, he continued. Terry Guess won the No. 4 singles in the conference tournament. Dan Heck- man finished the event with a second place finish in No. 2 singles. Heckman teamed up with Jerry Vanderpool to take second in No. 1 doubles action. Hampered by injuries the team could do no better than fourth in the seven team district tournament. Although most injuries will heal, bud- get cuts have apparently sealed the fate of the men's tennis program. I have been informed there will be no men's tennis next year, said Selkirk. llReasons were given to me for the de- cision but the bottom line is lack of funds, he continued. According to Selkirk, administrators indicated scholarships are in question for the coming year, with only seniors getting consideration. We have some good athletes in the tennis program, some will lose their scholarships, it's really a shame, Heck- man concluded.

What about the future? According to coach Debbie Bumpus it hold much promise. We had only one returning member of last year's team; however, we did have a lot of young potential, she said. Two freshmen, Trish Hanson and Cindy Barnes, filled the top singles spots facing older and more experienced play- ers all season long. Most of the time Hanson and Barnes were playing seniors. It was a tough situ- ation to be in but the experience was good, Bumpus said. A lack of depth also hampered the team's performance. According to Coach Bumpus, this will be corrected next season. ,'We have a transfer from Brigham Young University who could not play this year because of transcript problems, nextyear she will be eligible, she said. The team finished third in a six team district field. Hanson and Barnes col- lected all-district honors as a result of their district performances. The district tournament was the high- light of the season. There was some tough competition and the team made a good showing, Bumpus stated. Next year we'll return with more players and more experience, Bumpus concluded.

Under the direction of head coach Rhesa Sumrell, the squad foundered in the early going but blossomed into a potential national powerhouse. The ladies set their sights high realizing a district championship in the process and highlighted the year as a national qualifier. The turning pointcame in their own invitational tournament where the ladies came back through the Ioser's bracket to take the title over a talent-Iaden field. The Lady Griffs won five straight games on the final day including wins over top con- tenders such as Nebraska-Omaha, Emporia State, and North- west Missouri State. The Lady Griffons closed out the regular season with a third place showing in the CSIC tournament in Hays, Kansas.

After a spectacular finish in the rain delayed district 16 playoffs which saw the Griffs win three straight games to claim the title, the team's pitching seemed to improve, but their hitting faltered in the Area IV tournament con- cluded at Phil Welch Stadium. Elimination came at the hands of 17818aseball Milton College of Wisconsin by a 1-0 score in the loser's bracket finale. The loss came despite the two-hit perfor- mance of Griffon hurler David Griewe, one of those hits being a solo home run that proved to be the decisive blow. It was a very dismal finish to an up and down year that started out with numer- ous losses due to a heavy major college schedule. In an effort to gain valuable experience the Griffons were drubbed by Arkansas, Kansas, as well as the Uni- versity ofMissouri. The Griffs were led offensively by All- American candidate Mike Musser, who holds both the home run and runs batted in records as a Griffon. The St. Joseph Benton product was well above the .350 mark all season.

Typical Missouri weather played havoc with the post season as rain delays had the Griffs traveling first one place than another to finish up both the district and Area tourneys. The districts, origi- nally set for St. Joseph, were forced to Springfield and then back again. The Area playoffs scheduled for Des Moines were moved to St. Joseph. The home field advantage was in field only as crowds were sparse, as they had been the entire year. The Griffon record stood at 36-33 at season's end. Head Coach Doug Minnis missed again on a national tournament appearance. And once again the Men- tor came close but fell just short in the Area tournament.

As is common in most graduations, the arena resembled a portion of Dante's Inferno in both the heat factor and the inherent message Abandon hope all ye that enter here.

This isn't going to be so in the future. In addressing the graduates, State Rep- resentative Betty Hearnes referred to the 1982 class as the simple generation. Hearnes stressed the need to remain in- quisitive and always stop and smell the flowers and hear the birds, in an at- tempt to relate to the things which really matter in life.

Graduation l 181 FANKHAUSER FANKHAUSER .Via-.V.-rwwwywv -.V COMMUNITY AFFAIRS A Chartered Change St. Joseph voters went to the polls in April .and for the first time elected a non-partisan mayor and council. The change came about as a result of the approval of ,the new city charter last August. The past charter stated that under the mayor-council form of government, all the staff worked for the mayor, but the council controlled their salary. This put the staff in the position of not knowing who they worked for. The staff most generally served the mayor, which upset the coun- CH. The mayor, Gordon Wiser, who held the supreme executive power in the city and had control over all officers and affairs of the city, also had the power to veto ordinances and felt he should be full-time mayor, which produced another problem. This form of mayor-council government left many citizens asking who was the city's administrative officer - the mayor or the city administrator? Under the new charter the mayor is elected separately and presides at council meetings, has the right to vote at these meetings and is the head of the city government for all legal and ceremonial purposes. The new charter states, The mayor shall have no administrative duties and shall have no veto power. Eight members of the council are elected at large and with the mayor make up the city's nine person legislative body, making policy and adopting ordinances to be enforced under the direction of the city manager. There is virtually no change 182 l New Charter in the powers of the council, which are not as well defined as they were in past charters. - The city manager is named for an indefinite period and is selected by a vote of two-thirds of the entire council. The powers and duties are the right to appoint, suspend, or remove city employees andiappointive administrative officers; super- visingthe administration of all departments; attend all council meetings, take part in discussion, but no voting; and seeing that all laws of the city are enforced. The new charter further states that neither the police chief or fire chief can be dismissed without the city manager consult- ing with the Council concerning such a dismissal. The beginning of the fiscal year starts July 1 instead of May 1. This allows the budget to be approved before the tax rate is set. The fiscal year change gives the council enough time for reviewing the budget. At the present the council will adopt an appropriating bud- get and then, at different meetings during the year, they will designate the appropriate funds for certain purposes. The new charter will eliminate this step. Also, under the new city charter, the municipal judge must have been a resident of St. Joseph for at least two years instead ofone and have been engaged in the practice of law for at least three years. Under the past charter, the mayor filled any va- cancy in the municipal judgeship. Under the new charter, the council will fill the vacancy. x While colli SGA Presiden new mayor ar On April 6 Joseph after a versy dealt wi Mayoral w votes as 448 i inconsistent . really knowi The one thi 16-year vete election, nea Polsky, w acquainted as well defined as nite period and is 1tire council.

A Campaign without Controversy While college voters were mulling over their choices for SGA President, St. Joseph voters wentto the polls in search ofa new mayor and a seven-member council. On April 6, David L. Polsky became the new mayor of St. Joseph after a lackluster campaign in which the biggest contro- versy dealt with the spelling of one of the candidates names. Mayoral write-in candidate Gary Schermerhorn lost several votes as 448 ballots were refuted by election officials, due to inconsistent spelling. Thus, the election ended with no one really knowing how many votes Schermerhorn had tallied. The one thing that was certain, however, was that Polsky, a 16-year veteran of the city council, had run away with the election, nearly doubling runner up Dan Garvin's vote total. Polsky, who will preside over the council, will feel well acquainted with his contemporaries on the council, as five incumbent council members were re-elected. College instructor Leroy Maxwell, Paul Kovac, Steve Nikes, Joanne Youngdahl, and Larry Koch were the incumbent win- ners. Jerry Mogg and George Carolus were the newcomers. The election marked the first step in the implementation of the new city charter, which de-emphasizes the role of mayor in lieu of a city manager. Like those at the college, the election was conducted on a non-partisan basis. Another unfortunate correlation between the college and city elections was poor voter turnout, as both failed to garner even 500A: of the potential vote.

Those candidates too quick to speak often lose sup- port while the normally mild-mannered lose their hesitancy to speak out thus gaining support. On the evening of March 23, the mass communications class sponsored such an event. The Mayoral Forum was a Class exercise and public service, giving the candidates a Chance to air the public's business The four candidates: John Forest, Dan Garvin, David Pols- ky, and Gray Schermerhorn were invited to speak along with seven panelists: JD. Bentley, a student; Rhonda Ebersole, League of Women Voters; Gene Miller, KFEQ; Frederick Sla- ter, St. Joseph News-Press; Rev. Charles Bayer, FirstChristian Church; Virginia Broady, KQTV; and Ann Cummins, KKJO. The first two candidates, Garvin and Polsky, began with short introductions. Garvin moved to St. Joseph in 1967. His main concern was giving the city a professional government. He believes the only way to do this is to bring in a professional City manager from another city. Garvin supported his proposal by saying a city manager would more than make up for his salary in six months. David Polsky, was born and raised in St. Joseph. He has served on the city council for the past 16 years a eight as a councilman and the last eight as a chairman. He described the mayor's job. as being a catalyst for city progress; one who works with others to make things happen.

OA'kggrm MWMW 4 , - .r y gvuzydar; . , Polsky offered a challenge to himself, as mayor, the council, and the citizens to operate the city with a reduction of funding from the state and federal governments. The two write-in candidates, Gary Schermerhorn and John Forest, took the podium next. Schermerhorn is a 28-year-old psychology major who graduated from Missouri Western in 1979. He was born and raised in St. Joseph. His main concern was thatthe city govern- ment be dedicated to helping the city and its citizens. He expressed his view that even when you have a professional government, if the office holders aren't dedicated, they will only hinder the city's progress. Forest, also a St. Joseph native, proposed an individualized form of government. I would personally like to ask each person how they felt and what they would like to have done. That's what I would do if I were elected mayor. The hypothetical question of, if it were necessary, what programs would be cut out of the budget, surfaced. Garvin stated that his priorities were the streets and seeing that neighborhoods get funding from the state. If the budget were to the pointthat something had to go, his proposal was to put a freeze on hiring city workers. Polsky simply stated that the council had not received a current budget so he could not answer the question realis- DA 1 r W0 P01 64004 75 tically, hence not committing himselfto cutting any programs. Schermerhorn and Forest were not posed this question by the panel. Virginia Broady questioned Garvin and Polsky about the high turnover in department heads due to a low salary. A merit system to keep the department heads interested was recommended by Garvin instead of the regular across the board pay raises. Polsky sidestepped the question by insisting the high turnov- er rate is just another reason the city needed a city manager. He also informed Broady of the high turnover rate in her occupation. The Frederick Avenue improvement plan was presented to Schermerhorn and Forest. The plan included an estimated cost of $600,000 to beautify the first five blocks. Traffic flow is more important, Schermerhorn insisted. Spending $600,000 to plant trees and fill pot holes on one street simply is not feasible when you see the condition other streets are in. Other topics covered by the candidates and panel ranged from the gap between the college and the city, the seeking out of new industry, and a halfcent tax to continue the bus service. 5t. joseph mayoral candidates Dan Carvin and David Polskyponder questions posed by the audience.

Not only was it the eastern terminal of the Pony Express, but also the city where the legendary outlaw Jesse James was shot and killed. St. Joseph Mayor Gordon Wiser told an ABC-TV news crew, The city knows how to treat its good guys and how to treat its bad guys. The weekend of April 2,3, and 4, St. Joseph hosted theJesse James Festival marking the 100th anniversary of the shooting ofthis outlaw when he was living in St. Joseph underthe name of Thomas Howard. April 3 is also the anniversary of the be- ginning of the Pony Express which was started in St. Joseph in 1860. ' The festival took place in and around the Patee House Mu- seum at 12th and Penn, a National Historical Landmark, which was the headquarters for the Pony Express. Next door is the small house where James was fatally shot. It was originally located at 1318 Lafayette St. In thefall of 1939 it was moved to the Belt Highway and more recently to its present location. Gary Chilcote, curator of the Patee House Museum, said, A lot of people in St. Joseph get bent out of shape at the idea of having a festival. We're not honoring Jesse James and we're certainly not celebrating anybody's death. We're simply ob- serving a very historical event that happened here in St. Jo- seph. Despite strong winds and chilly temperatures, large crowds turned out for the centennial observance which began with a Jesse James Ball and look-alike contest Friday evening. The winner, Sam Wright from Savannah, received a Stetson hat and a dinner at the Hoof81 Horn Restaurant. Other events included a craft show featuring handmade items, black powder shooters demonstrating their weapons, blue grass music and a western shootout. A popular feature Saturday was the original play portraying the life and death of Jesse James in St. Joseph. James was portrayed by Sam Wright. The one act, fifteen minute play, l'The Last 100 Days, was presented by the St. Joseph Com- munity Theater. Another event Saturday were troops of the Confederate Army and Civil War Union performing a living history dem- onstration. Members ofthe crowd walked through their camps and saw the military life of 1861 . A memorable stunt Saturday and Sunday was when Jack Frost snapped a cigarette from the mouth of Mayor Wiser with a bullewhip. The Jesse James Festival ended Sunday afternoon after the Festival Family, a popular, 15-piece Brass-kicking band, Sam Wright, center, smiles after being named the winner of a jesse james look- alike contest.

The turnout for the festival included a large number of visi- tors from the Kansas City area, as well as JesseJames buffs from as far away as Montana and Canada. Not only did it get atten- tion from various local and regional media but also from the national media. Although the festival is over, the legend lives on. Was Jesse James a gallant Robin Hood who used liquor, tobacco, and bad language sparingly, who loved his mother devotedly, who robed the rich and gave to the poor and who took human life only to defend his own? Or, was James a disgusting, merciless, murdering bank and train robber who was the biggest, baddest desperado of them all? Could it be that he was a combination of both, good guy and bad buy? The fact and fiction of this legend is so entwined that it is almost impossible to untangle. Nevertheless the legend of Jesse James is known worldwide and is an important part of American History.

Dale Maudlin; Stanley Dale, mayor of St. Joseph from 1950 to 1958; Peter O'Donnell; Timothy Kelly, Andrew County representative; and Kristin Findley, the only woman on the board. As for the future of the college Eder replied, I would like to see the col- Kristin Findley lege be not the biggest, but the best in Missouri. He would like for the graduates to have a feeling of loyalty and admiration for the college. Then when they are in the business world they should show enthusiasm to young people and encourage them to attend the college. The college will be remembered in history not by the teachers or the Board of Regents or even the president, but by the students we produce in the busi- ness world that are successful, Eder stressed.

The cutback translated into a $702,000 loss of funds at the college. Faced with the budgetary dilemma, col- lege administrators made several recom- mendations to cover the reductions. Among the recommendations were increases of $50 on all student and user fees which would net the college 400,000 additional dollars.

Among the biggest was the revision of the College Center Board constitution. This gave the CCB a more professional atmosphere on campus. The events sponsored by the CCB and SGA include the Atlanta Rhythm Section concert in December, the flea market in April and the concerts in the part series, co-sponsored by the Jazz Ensemble and the SGA. This is probably the best year we have had in a long time. We've had more involvement and support than we have ever had. All the organizations helped and participated, and every- one was very active, Hoff stated. Hopefully the trend will continue. Dean Charles Coyne also celebrated a banner year for his departments and division. Heading up the Psychology and Education department, and the Health, Physical Education and Recreation department leaves Coyne very little time for recreation himself. Among the events sponsored by his divi- sions was a lecture by Covert Bailey, entitled Fit or Fat, which advocated staying in shape. Also sponsored was a seminar on perpetual motion, me- diated by Tom Cureton, a noted 80-year old psychologist, who for the past year has been experimenting with constant movement involving human beings. The special areas of in- terest this year have been the programs that involved both the students and the community, Coyne commented. Dean of Liberal Arts and Sciences Bob Scott covers a more diversified area than the other deans. The eight departments he is in charge of include art, music, biology, chemistry, En- ' glish and modern languages, math, social sciences, speech- theatre and humanities. The ice carving contest sponsored by the Student Art League, numerous free car washes put on by Phi Nu Alpha Symphonia Music Fraternity, bake sales throughout the year by the Psychology Club and the Biology Club are examples of activities in Scottis domain. Two special events for area high school students included the Chemathon, sponsored by the chemistry department and Communications Day, spon- sored by the English department. In addition were the numerous theatre productions held throughout the year. Dr. Stephen Capelli, the dean of the Division of Career Planning Programs, is the youngest of the four deans. At 39 Capelli is responsible for all the career planning and counsel- ing here on campus. Although a tight budget was endured by the division this year, over 150 major companies interviewed student appli- cants for career positions. The most outstanding event spon- sored by Capelli's department was BIG Day Business Industry, Governmeno. That was when businesses, industries and government firms came on campUs to interview appli- cants specific positions. Capelli is also responsible for imple- menting the one- and two-year career programs at the college. The students should know that these services are available. If they use them it's a good chance that they could end up with a good job. BIG Day gives applicants ajump on all the other students who haven't taken advantage of our ser- vices, he said. Deans r 195 Senators aid contemporaries by Sharing The Burden , Sharing the burden of faculty con- cerns, college instructors aid their contemporaries through representa- tion on the'Faculty Senate. The main purpose of the Senate is to keep communications open be- tween the faculty and the administra- tion and Board of Regents, stated Dr. Don Mahaffey, president of the Facul- ty Senate. Though the main purpose of the Senate is to establish lines of com- munications, there are two other re- sponsibilities which rank as top priori- ties. The first of these is to represent the faculty in any campus matters. The second of these is to make recom- mendations to the administration con- cerning academic affairs. Among the Senate concerns for the 1982 academic year were the omnipresent budget problems. Also on the agenda was reviewal and approval of such new academic pro- grams as the Bachelor of Science in 196 r Faculty Senate Nursing. The major concern of the Senate was faculty salary increases. A 5th, increase last year, could translate into n0 increases this year. To handle the administrative duties the Senate and coordinating commit- tees consist of well'over 100 faculty members. The Senate itself consists of 13 facul- ty members who are nominated within their division and then elected by the entire faculty to a two year term.

Creative energy flowed at monthly meetings of the Student Art League as student artists met to share their enthu- siasm for artistic endeavors as well as so- cial activities. Led by President George Stanton, the Art League used talent'to spread their name throughout the city. One project which lended notoriety t0 the league was a large wall mural done at the St. Joseph State Hospital. Another project was an ice sculpture done in the Winter Wonderland at Krug Park during the cold, bleak days of the 1982 winter. Money-making projects were also im- portant aspects of the club's function. Bake sales and making pennants for Homecoming were but a few of the 1 982 money-making endeavors. Social activity was also of high priority for the club as they sponsored a Punk Party where members came equipped with Costume and whatever else deemed appropriate. While the Art League expended cre- ative energy, the Women's Athletic As- sociation was busy taking care of the ' physical side of it. Made up of women athletes and female sports enthusiasts the WAA's activities mainly consisted of money-making projects. We really concern ourselves with money-making projects with proceeds going toward our award program, stated WAA President Julie Sherwood. The club sponsored a money-making hat selling projectwhich was intended to help promote women's athletics. WAA members also worked the con- cession stand at home games with half of the salaries again going toward the awards program. Money-making wasn't their sole con- cern as they were also active in Home- coming, nabbing third in the decorated car division. They also sponsored a queen candidate in both the Homecom- ing and Sweetheart elections. As WAA took care of the physical re- lease of energy, the Griffon News released their energy through words. Plagued by problems created when the school didn't get its own typesetter, the Griffon News staff was forced to improvise as best they could. During the 1982 school year Editor Debi Ford and staff took over total oper- ation of the paper. For the first time the staff did their own typesetting at the News-Press which meant they typed their own stories and headlines into a computer which would then kick outthe final written copy. After hours in the paste-up room the staff then had the paper printed at the Wathena Times. It wasn't all work for the Griffon News Staff, however, as they attended the ACP Convention in Florida to learn new tech- niques in design, photography, report- ing and advertising. To relieve deadline tension the staff also had periodical parties including a day-and-a-half party in celebration of the Christmas holidays.

I was sick of seeing the same old thing as far as yearbooks go. With help from the Art Department, The Griffon staff tried such new tech- niques as painting in color on black and white photographs. Social activities helped ease deadline pressure as the staff had a bonfire in the fall and Christmas banquet and party at the Circle W restaurant. Energy flowed throughout the 1982 year as no shortage was noticed at least among these groups who got the most for their mileage.

Academics i 205 Finding T ime for Interests Four campus organizations con- ducted most of .their activities off- campus last year, finding many area events to their liking. The Missouri Western DancelCom- pany, under the direction of Vickie Keegstra, performed in two major cam- pus presentations, and many off-campus events. In theJanuary Concert of Dance, 25 dancers participated, but the company usually consists of 12 to 15 members. They practice from five to ten hours a week when gearing up for a major per- formance. Each such performance lasts about one hour. Membership is open to any interested student. The only requirements are a willingness to learn and practice long hours and an enjoyment ofdancing. Another organization dedicated to the enrichment of culture is for those stu- dents interested in the French language and culture. It is called Le Cercle Fran- cais. President Julie Powell said that the club was planning a trip to France in the summer of 1982. The club also sponsored a French film on Foreign Language Day, for high school students interested in French. The Forensics Society, populated mainly by speech and theater students, participates in about 10 speech tourna- ments each year. The membership is usually main- tained by word-of-mouth, but is open to any student interested in attending and participating in speech tournaments, and acting as a judge in area high school tournaments. Like many campus organizations, the Engineering Technology Society is open to any student who has an interest in ei- ther the construction or electronic area of engineering. The group consists of about 10 active members. That is not unusual, according to President Ellen Lewis. She said that many students work as well as attend school, and thatjust doesn't leave much . time for other interests. Even though time may be short for many students, with working and attend- ing school, many still find the time to pursue their interests through these clubs.

Academics X 207 Concerning Careers Careertraining-one of the main pur- poses of an academic extra-curricular group. During the 1981-82 school year at Missouri Western, Griffon Guard, Phi Beta Lambda ta business groupl, the Lawyer's Assistants and the Pre-Law group all placed great emphasis on ca- reertraining. The Griffon Guard is open to all stu- dents enrolled in Military Science or out- door adventure classes. Group sponsor Capt. Glenn Davis says the group stresses good academics and good career options. If you like what you see, we're here to give you more information on career options, he says. Besides qualifying for Army funding, which helped pay for the fall float trip, the winter ski trip and the spring back- , packing trip, the Griffon Guard also of- fers a more specialized group, the Griffon Raiders. The Raiders delve more extensively into the practical areas of military and outdoor activities, such as survival train- ing, weapons use and helicopter repel- ling. Through the Griffon Guard and Grif- fon Raiders, football fans in 1981 were treated to the Color Guard and helicop- ter rapelling, which was used to bring in the game ball for Homecoming. Phi Beta Lambda, co-sponsored by Rita Hanks and Sharon Defenbaugh, purports to offer opportunities for stu- dents to develop in the business and of- fice occupations and in business teacher education. in short, it facilitates a school-to- work transition, Hanks says. Through the year, the group works on service projects and fund-raisers, as well as touring area centers of business and sponsoring guest lecturers. Activities in 1981-82 included hand- ing out programs and brochures at the college theatre, selling maps during Homecoming Week, touring the Com- modities Exchange in Kansas City and sponsoring Dr. Pat McMurry and Bob Higney as speakers. The activities culminated in April with the state and national contests. In 1980-1981, Missouri Western's Beth-Ann Bartels won the state contest in extemporaneous speaking and placed seventh in the nation. The Lawyers' Assistants, in its first full year of existence as an extra-curricular group, consists of about 20 students in- volved in the Lawyers' Assistants aca- demic program. The program was begun in 1976, but was not fully implemented until 1977, when David Dye, a Kansas City attor- ney, was employed to head up the pro- gram. In the spring of 1981, students formed a group to put them in contact with law- yers and to help them form study groups, a la The Paper Chase. We invite working paralegals to come and talk to us and let us know what to expect in the working world, group president Susan Slater says.

We want to get an education about law and about law school, group Presi- dentJeff Gomel says.

The group tries to have a monthly speaker, such as a judge, an attorney or a representative from a law school. We want to know what kind of un- dergraduate courses we should take and what we should expect in law school, Gomel says. During the 1981-82 school year, the group met with people from Drake and UMKC Law Schools. The discussion of tactical strategies is an integral part of the ROTC program, as Cad. Maj.

The Psychology Club's year can be summed up in the words of Bruce Daldrup, president. The club has had one of its best years ever. During the school year they sponsored bake sales and a trip to the state hospital during Christmas break to give the resident chil- dren a Christmas party. The club also took a field trip to the Meninger Clinic in Topeka, Kansas, which is the psycholog- ical equivalent of the Mayo Clinic. Membership requirements for the psy- chology club are quite minimal. One must have completed one psychology class and have a general interest in psy- chology. The new music sorority, Sigma Alpha Iota, had a banner year both in rush func- tions and their many community proj- ects. In addition to ushering at recitals, the girls helped a troop of Girl Scouts learn their songs. They also co- sponsored a concession stand for the MENC's tMusiC Educator's National Conferencei high school clinics in the Fine Arts building. During the spring term, they held a recital featuring solo performances of pieces by American composers. Membership requirements for Sigma Alpha Iota include a 2.5 GPA overall and a 3.0 GPA in the music field.tThe mem- bers must be active in a performing en- semble either on campus or off. During its first year the organization added a total of four pledges into the charter group of 18 with eight alumni. Selling books by the pound was a new approach utilized by Sigma Tau Delta. More visibility, effectiveness on cam- pus and more strength in student activi- ties are just a few of the main goals ofthe English Honor Society. We want to promote literature and the use of language such as writing po- etry and fiction, commented club Advi- sor Ken Rosenauer. Sigma Tau Delta sponsored several speakers during the school year. One of them was Carroll Fry, the English De- partment head at NWMSC, who spoke on folklore and legends in Northern Mis- souri. They also co-sponsored a visit by Tillie Olsen, a short story author, critic, and novelist. The group attended the Sig- ma Tau Delta National Convention in Commerce, Texas, during February. Basically the year was a rough one for Sigma Tau Delta. A number of members were involved in student teaching or holding full-time jobs which limited their activity in the group. The group in- itiated 17 new members into the organi- zation during the course of the year. .7 iehart, Janice Fadden, 2n, Martha Jane Rexin, ;, Bruce Daldrup, Phil SAVlNC BIOLOGY CLUB tFirst Rowi Libia Saavedra, Jennifer Owens, Missy Stuart.

Now that disco has gone down the tubes and tight pants have given way to topsiders, another move- ment has adopted the Stayin' Alive theme. In 1982 it seemed as though the Greeks on campus were just Stayin' Alive. Through the short history of Greeks on this campus it seems as though the program has peaked and is on its way out. Despite the problems, though, members of existing Greek or- ganizations seem dedicated to keeping a program alive. Lambda Chi Alpha, the largest frater- nity on campus with approximately 30 members, typified the trouble plagued system. After realizing their dream to fi- nally own a house, 1982 saw the Lambda Chi's searching for reasons as to why they couldn't fill a house with a ca- pacity of only 10. Lambda Chi President Gerry O'Brien attributed it to the commuter campus attitude. Ironically, despite their hous- ing problems the Lambda Chi's were once again discussing building a new house. In trying to promote the Greek pro- gram, Lambda Chi did several things through the community and campus. The annual Beef n' Beer Bust attracted many students while the now traditional Haunted Forest netted the group nearly $10,000, $1500 of which went to Char- ity. They also sponsored a- wine and Cheese reception for the faculty and an- other Charity fund raising dance-a-thon. While the Lambda Chits contemplat- ed the gain ofa house Phi Sigma Epsilon mourned over the loss of theirs. Though it wasn't a chapter house, many Phi Sig brothers lived in the two story structure, which seemed to help strengthen the bond of brotherhood. The Phi Sigs went through a troubled year in 1982, with hints of administra- tion disgust at their mere existenceand dwindling membership just two of many problems. . Phi Sig president Mike Bushnell went so far as to say, The1982 pledge class could either make or break the chapter. Though trouble infiltrated the ranks of the Phi Sigs they did have their annual Luau tafter much hassle from the policel as well as their Mussio Bennitti party, in honor of their endeared drunkard who gave his life so that others would have reason to drink. Greeks T While Phi Sig struggled, their little sis- ter program flourished under the leader- ship of Lori Anconar Working with their big brothers, the little sisters aided the PhiSigsinalltheirendeavors whilelend- ing moral support and an occasional homecooked meal or load of clean clothes to the list. The girls of Phi Mu fraternity, tyes fra- ternityl were seeking an answer to the question of Hwhy join a sorority. Once the largest sorority on campus, Phi Mu watched its membership deplete through graduation and disinterest to a mere nine members. Anita Schaft, president of the organi- zation, attributed it to two things: lack of unity among sororities and finances. I don't think working against each other helps the Greek system, Schaft said, and besides some girls just don't think it's worth the money. The Phi Mu's still managed to have annual events unique to their organiza- tion. The Pink Carnation Ball became the Pink Carnation Bar-B-Q, in an at- tempt to defray expenses, while the barnwarming party was still a part of their spring plans. During summer orientation Don McCall, Mason Hackler, and Mike Bushnell talk to a rushee about Phi Sigma Epsilon. SAVING 1y Ploeger. tSecond ', Jan Rau.

Phyllis Brazzell, president of Sigma Kappa, said, This is one of our best pledge classes. We have 7 prospective mem- bers and they are all great girls. The Sig Kap's were very active outside rush and won the 1982 Homecoming float with the Ag club. They also had their VViolet Banquetformal while planning an all school party in the spring. One of their main concerns was rush and an attempt to help the Phi Mu's get members so they wouldnit lose their charter. It is important that Phi Mu gets members, if they go under, it could really hurt us, stated Brazzell. Part Two Contemplating the membership problems Brazzell said, l'l guess we really don't do that much and what we do nobody knows about. I guess we need a public relations program. While Sig Kap continued building, the campus' oldest Greek organization remained steady. Tau Kappa Epsilon claimed 16 members in what vice-president Doug Kean called average membership. Owning their own house, TKE continued a steady rush, netting about four people a semester. The house is near capac- ity and the small size of the chapter bothers no one. The small numbers of people allows everyone to be really close and truly experience what brotherhood is all about, stated Kean.

TKE once again sponsored a Muscular Dystrophy campaign as The Red Carnation Gang collected $1210 in one day of activity. While the oldest Greeks on campus were hanging on, the newest Creeks on campus were building a solid foundation. Theta Nu Epsilon, though not a national chapter, is attempting to go national through the efforts of Crystal Coleman, Theta Nu president. We think KU wants to start a chapter and from there who knows. lguess we would be the founding mothers, Coleman laughed. Black History Week marked the busiest time for the new- found sorority as they sponsored a fashion show, choir night musical, and a party. . The group also sponsored skating parties and a Halloween party for area youngsters.

There is more to the Baptist Student Union than the 25tl meal every Tuesday night. Included in the price of the dinner are humorous skits, guest speakers, singing, games,rand a spotlight honoring a different member each week. A Good Sam trophy is always awarded to someone who has done some honorable deed for another. Several weekend retreats gave students a chance to get to know one another better and to meet BSU'ers from other col- leges. A pledge of $3500 towards summer missions kept the BSU busy with a pie-in-the-face auction, a bowl-a-thon, a bike-a- thon, and a buck-a-nite campaign. All these hyphenated fund- raisers netted enough money to sponsor students in Christian service during 10 weeks of the summer. A 10-member executive council headed by director Ron Wynne meets weekly to plan future endeavors. According to Wynne, The Baptist Student Union is not the building; it is the students. Our mainobjective is two-fold: to grow closer to each other and in our faith and to share what we have with others. Next door to the BSU Center is a white house with a freshly- painted sign in the front yard. The newly-acquired Newman House is only a temporary home for the campus Catholic club though. For right now we have a place to call our own but we want to build a permanent residence in the future, said Terri Meuller, president of the Newman Club. Work is delegated to four main committees who report their progress at a monthly general meeting. The apostolic division coordinates service projects. During the summer they planted a garden and gave the produce to needy families. They also or- ganized a Rock nt Roll Jamboree at the Citadel Pavilon at Metho- dist Medical Center for the Heart Fund. The liturgical committee promotes growth and guidance by making the liturgy appealing to students who might otherwise fall away from their faith. The social committee schedules monthly activities and the publicity committee is in charge of making the Newman Club known on campus. A' highlight of the year was when Bishop John Sullivan said Massbefore 45 students. Usually Father Rolland Carbone from Conception Abbey says mass in the house chapel to a crowd of about 20. The Newman Club is in no way limited to Catholic students. We welcome people from all denominations, Mueller con- cluded. A relatively new group on campus is the Wesley Foundation.

The Liahona Fellowship is comprised of students belonging to the Reorganized Church ofJesus Christ Latter Day Saints. We usually try to get together every other Saturday night and have fun. We like to go to bars and pick up girls, joked Jeff Hoffman, president. No, actually our purpose is for students who have being RLDS in common to socialize. But the fellowship is not open exclusively to RLDS. Presently all of the active members are not only RL'DS, but most even attend the same church. Hoffman stated that there are anywhere from 8 to 13 members that participate in the scheduled activities. Meetings are held in students' homes to plan the upcoming events. A retreat in Kansas City with a fellowship from another college was in the works and a fund-raising spaghetti supper was held to help finance it and other events.

Everybody has one. The way we explore the limits of our personalities is what differentiates one person from the next. Some people prefer to stay within the confines of society's suggested standards, while others would rather be carefree and imaginative and go beyond that structured realm despite the atti- tudes of others. It's the desire to imaginatively Challenge orthe de- sire to be complacent that defines an individual's personality. 222 l Personalities 7 24...... MmexxIlel L Graduates More Than a Secretary he may not fly by leaps and bounds and no one stands on the street looking up toward the sky shouting, It's a bird, it's a plane, it's Yet one may be found in the Psy- chology Department watching secre- tary Sandy Phillips in wonder as to how she does it all. , As everyone knows, the old stereo- type of the passive secretary has al- most completely deteriorated. Nowadays, a secretary means much more than the typical dictionary defi- nition which defines a secretary as only being a manager for her superior. Sandy Phillips has been contribut- ing her extra abilities and efforts to the department for the last ten years. When asked exactly what her aver- age day includes Sandy smiles rather sheepishly. Oh, ltype . . . babysit. Dr. Wann's son feels his daddy just comes to work to feed the rats and talk to Sandy all day. I always keep cray- ons and coloring books inside my drawer in case one of the instructors brings their kids here to the office. Sometimes I play taxi, like the other day one of the instructors had an appointment and he had no source of transportation, so I took him. I guess many of the students as- sume that since I work for everyone in the Psychology Department, I am into psychology as well. Even though I am not, I'll listen. It's interesting, you meet so many different people. Psychology is not her major though. English is. Sandy attends classes dur- ing her lunch hour and night classes. She is also vice-president ofSigma Tau Delta tEnglish Honors SocietyI. Although Sandy has many accom- plishments to be proud of, she only mentions one. I do a lot of extra work outside the office. Once Dr. Wann asked me to type his doctoral disserta- tion. Taking time out from her busy schedule, Sandy Phillips studies for a British Literature test. 224 I Seniors HDr. Wann graduated from the Canadian University of Carleton. Therefore, the thesis had to be written with a more formal type of English than the English we use here in America. It was approximately 200 pages. So be- tween the length and the formal spell- ing it became rather mind-boggling at tims. But I finished it and itfeltgreat! When asking the different instruc- tors of the Psychology Department how they felt about Sandy, it was not difficult to detect the general warm feelings they shared. Dr. Wann jests, Oh, rather than running the department, Sandy does practically nothing!', Instructor Julia Mullican adds, Sandy's so supportive and she does one heck of a good job brightening this place up, as she points to the jokes posted up on the column in the middle ofthe office. Although it appears that Sandy never has any time to spare, she man- ages to make time for her new hus- band and two children. She also enjoys creating miniature wooden furniture for a dollhouse belonging to the State Hospital Auxiliary. If Sandy was forced to decide be- tween continuing her career as a sec- retary or pursuing her education, it would be most difficult. They both are so very important to me right now. In consideration ofther contribu- tions and accomplishments one can readily see how helpful it is to have someone as capable and caring as Sandy Phillips at our school and at our service!

Seniors i 229 Head and Shoulders Above the Rest avid Dueker is the tallest player on the Missouri Western bas- ketball roster. In fact he's tallest person on the entire campus. But despite his physical stature, Dave has seen lim- ited playing duty through his three years as a Griffon roundballer. It's kind of frustrating going to all the practices and still ride the bench, Dave commented. With all the guys graduat- ing this year, hopefully I'll get to play more next season, he added. The St. Louis native seems to have very simpleiideals about life and is a man of very few words. He likes to play pool and work on cars in his spare time. He is also a big rock n' roll fan. At 6'10 Dave receives the stares of plenty of onlookers as he walks across campus or down hallways. I've always been looked at and asked a lot of stupid questions, he related. When Dave started high school in 9th grade he was 6'4 . By the time he en- tered his sophomore year he had spurted up to 6'8 . His parents are not exceed- ingly tall. His father is 6'2 and his mother is suprisingly only 5'3 . Duke as his teammates refer to him, had three brothers and two sisters. One of his brothers was a professional soccer player so athletic prowess runs in the family. After his high school career Dave was heavily recruited by junior colleges in Texas and Oregon as well as Southwest Baptist and Missouri Western. Former assistant coach Mike Wilson was instru- 230 t Seniors mental in persuading Duke in coming to Western. I really wanted to stay in Missouri, close to home, Dave said. I came up forl a visit and really liked the campus and people, he added. Dave's major is in the business man- agementfield with emphasis on the tech- nological aspect. So if Dave can'tfurther his basketball career in the professional ranks he's left himself with something to fall back on. When Dave graduates next spring he will leave as a type of cult hero with a fanatic sort of following. lf'one has at- tended a home basketball game he's surely heard the chants of Due ker, Dueker. He's been a personality on campus that possesses an enigmatic sim- plicityy Senior guard Tony Bender describes Dueker with these words. Duke is a gentle giant, he said. He would never hurt anyone. After graduation Dave will look to- wards the service to fulfill his needs. He is currently active in the ROTC program. The future of Dave Dueker is really up in the air, in a manner of thinking. He'll have the obvious difficulties with low doorways and short beds, but through it all will emerge from this campus as one who is head and shoulders above the rest in more than one respect.

Sometimes I have to wear a stocking cap over my hand. Borchers majors in art at Missouri Western, partly due to encouragement from former teachers at LeBlond High School. Luckily his injured hand was not the hand he writes and draws with. Bor- chers hopes to attend the Kansas City Art Institute after taking general courses at Missouri Western. In an attempt to avoid a head-on colli- sion on Mitchell Avenue Sept. 28, fresh- man John Borchers swerved to miss an oncoming car but was sideswiped any- way. Borchers, who had only minutes before been in class, had his arm resting on the door window ledge and the acci- dent caused him the loss of two fingers, while irremediably damaging a third. I wasn't very deeply in shock, Bor- chers remembered. I pulled my car Hicks, Vickie Hills, Marlene Hinkle, Saronla Hise, Nancy Hoffman, Michael Hornbeck, Stella lngerson, Wanda lvers, Richard 232 I Hicks-Ivers over to the side of the road. When I pulled my hand into the car, I saw that it was bleeding, and that some of my fin- gers were missing. I closed my eyes for a minute and when I opened them it was still happening. I parked my car but left it running. IIAll I could think of was finding my fingers. I didn'tfind them, so I went up to this house and asked a guy to call an ambulance. He looked kind of freaked out and went back into the house. I started looking for my fingers again when this man came along and asked if he could help me. He told me to calm down and said he'd find my fingers. Pretty soon I asked him if he'd found them and he said he had. I thought he was kidding but he wasn't. The fingers were still attached at the knuckles. My pinky was hanging by a piece of skin and I kept holding on to it. When I was taken by ambulance to St. Joseph hospital, they had to decide were they were going to take me. They knew I'd have to go somewhere in Kan- sas City.'l Borchers wound up atTrinity Lutheran Hospital, the only hospital between Louisville and Denver'with a team of specialists to do the microvascular sur- gery that was needed. I told them I couldn't have surgery, Borchers joked. I said I had to go to work and I had a date. The accident has not Borcher's life for the most part. I was working at Penny's Auto Cen- ter, doing things of a mechanical nature that I can't do anymore. So the company is letting me be a sales clerk when I go back, which isn't bad. I can't drink things like tea or coffee and smoke cigarettes, because it could raise my blood pressure. I have to keep it down to help the circulation in my fin- gers. Sometimes when I think about the accident I get mad. I think if I'd had to wait for a dog to cross the street or talked to someone a while before I left the col- lege, it wouldn't have happened. But you could drive yourself crazy thinking about what might have happened, so I don't. You don't believe things like that are happening when they do, but you have to face up to what's happening. You have to accept it.

Ed Webbley is indeed a man with a very limited amount of time. He is the assistant football coach, as many people know. But how many are aware that he is a published writer as well? , Webbley was willing to share his posi- tive feelings about the team but also his past experiences with football. While living back east in Vermont, I attended a private high school where I played var- sity football. I then proceeded to play at the University of Vermont. When I moved out here to Missouri to Iget away' I became acquainted with a young guy that helped me get on as a coach for Leblond High School. Later, Itransferred Misemer, Kendall Murdock, Lila Murphy, jennifer . Myers, Creogory Nagel, Ron Nauman, Mary Newbold, Peter Newby, Donna Nichols, Richard O'Daniel, Ethyl Orr, Becky Orth, Lynda 236 I Misemer-Orth out here where I became the coordinator for the tight ends and head scout for re- cruiting. A broad smile swept over his face as he remarked about his involvement with the team, I love it! The guys are great and we have a super team with a lot of potential. We have great possibilities of really going a long way this year. At the mention of his writing there ap- peared a change of mood. It was now a more intimate side of Webbley, almost a timid side of him penetrating through. You see, I don't like to talk about my writing, it's very personal. My friends can't relate to me as a writer. In fact, it's more or less a joke to them. During his last year of high school football, Webbley met a writer who re- ally gave him the encouragement that he needed to pursue his writing. He told me that it was time to be less secretive and begin to concentrate more on writ- ing. Football and writing were so oppo- site one another that I really didn't want everyone to know. Webbley, the recipient of the Icarus sponsored Meads Product Award for the best poetry of 1980, claims that there was always a feeling of dissatisfaction of words. Words bothered him. So, he challenged them. He wanted to unlock their associations so he could use them in his poetry. A writer has a certain need to possess a power over words so it's kind of my own way of gaining this power. Right now Webbley is working on a collection of his poems. Someday he would like to have them published. It is now pu is feedb finds hi feelings is able t1 forfeed tthe wri wants to Ed W ing to D Depart and he partmem shares t great po reading Medievi him to nature, his writi How- only co Webbley me to so active w outgoing ball.

So, he ted to unlock iuld use them has a certain wer words so if gaining this working on a Someday he ublished. It is now public recognition that he wants. It is feedback. Through writing, a writer finds himself. He puts his thoughts and feelings down on paper. Then, when he is able to publish something it is merely for feedback. Feedback from people. He tthe writerl wants to be reassured. He wants to know that he's okay. Ed Webbley is more than okay. Accord- ing to Dr. Joseph Castellani of the English Department, Ed is extremely talented and he possesses great potential. De- partment Chairman Dr. George Matthews shares this same view, Ed does have great potential. He has had an excellent reading background in Early English and Medievil writing, which has enabled him to have a keen insight to human nature, which he then carries over into his writing. However, as reality has it, one may only concentrate on one thing at a time. Webbley replies, Football has enabled me to socialize, it's fulfilling. While I am active with football it allows me to be outgoing. Someday I'll out-grow foot- ball. 'I will put away childish things'; when that time comes I shall concentrate solely on my writing.

Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away. Thoreau Bruce Lafferty has been keeping step to a far and measured tune for all of his life. His personality emerges from blank inside to die in another dark- ness, a darkness which Bruce doesnit understand but often comments on. This darkness seems to be in the minds of others who can't or won't un- derstand his unique personality. He is often blown off as weird or strange but Bruce doesn't care, his only plea is Accept me for what I am.

College administra- tors repeatedly nabbed him for various delinquent reasons, includingthe infa- mous beach party, an occasion Bruce has yet to live down. tOf-vcourse it is difficult to forget someone dumping 300 pounds of sand in their roomJ Despite his spotty collegiate record Bruce wants to move beyond the triv- ial episodes of his undergraduate years. All of the punishment was justi- fied, but I wish they would forget what ldid. It's not that I'm embarrassed but I want and need to move on, said a frustrated Bruce. Though Bruce claims that the troubled times of this phase of his life has led to a maturation process, he still readily admits that his personality entertains a sort of mock schizophre- nia. I'm sort of two different people. The old Bruce who likes to yell and scream and the more refined Bruce who likes to listen to the stereo or read a Hemingway short story. His hero is Ernest Hemingway and his fantasy is to be a writer though he realizes that in this world fiction writ- ing and starvation are somewhat syn- onymous. Thus, in tune with his realistic attitude, he has formed a ca- reer goal of sorts.

He merely smiles and repeats his plea. Letme step to the music which I hear, however measured or far away.

Dorm clubs are part of making dorm life easier and range from Bible study to backgammon. Burchard felt the re- sponse to the clubs, Dorm Daze and a campus dance was good. The Dorm Survival program for freshman was also a success, turning out over 200 people. Burchard noted that the freshmen are always more enthusiastic to dorm activities, being new to col- lege and dorm life. I demand excellence in myself and others, Bob related on a more per- sonal level. In that matter, I might be considered difficult to get along with. . I'm usually fairly easy to get along with; in my dorm position and as a coach, I have to be outgoing. Every once in a while, students bring in personal problems. lwish they would more often. Welre trying to break down the barriers; we are here to be the source of all their needs. My purpose here is to make dormi- tory life as easy as possible. When you're living in a small area with eight people, it's tough to get along. Four 12-packs ofbeere anybeer, for that matter - isn't kosher in the MWSC dorms. Dorm Director Bob Burchard, responsible for enforc- ing dorm regulations, holds a pamphlet which outlines those rules. Koons, Frieda Krull, jana Kurtz, Kelly Kyle, Dawn M.

R0 search analy: and sort all tf surveys taker All P Tom Robinson may well hear more complaints than any other person on campus, but he doesn't mind. In fact, it's part of his job. Robinson, director of the department oflnstitutional Research, explains, Our job primarily provides factual informa- tion about unemployment, sex distri- bution, current activities, student head- count, credit hours produced and pro- jections about future enrollments. Institutional Research, though not a well-known department, is a service for students. Robinson and Judy Fields, re- search analyst, are the ones that compile and sort all the data from registration and surveys taken throughout the year. art of the Job Administrators use this informationto discover what areas of study and service need improvement. For example, from the opening of the college until about five years ago, there were more men en- rollingthan women. Suddenly, the num- ber of women enrolling began to increase. Studies found a need for more empha- sis on women's needs, so the Women's Studies program was formed to help dis- cuss and fulfill those needs. The research department is also re- sponsible for about 60 state and federal reports each year. One such state study requires a yearly Classroom and Build- ing Utilization Review. The study ex- FANKHAUSER plores every square foot of each building to see how and when its being best uti- lized. This year it includes the HPER ad- dition, the remodeling of the EET and any office moves. Robinson noted, This lets the state know of the condition of the buildings, when they are being used and the stu- dent capacity of each room. The research department also does special studies at the request of the presi- dent and vice presidents. Robinson says, Part of the joy of this job is the fact that it is quite varied. If you get tired of working on one certain job, you can move over to something entirely different. A new area of study for the department will be gathering previously untapped information covering graduates, with- drawing and non-returning students. Robinson says, The institution hasn't done a very good job of finding out why freshmen choose to come here, or why students don't come back. From previously gathered data, Ro- binson predicts that from the fall of 1 981 to the fall of 1982, there will be about 300 withdrawals and 1500 students that will not return for various reasons. He is concerned that there is currently no in- formation why this will happen, but the problem is being studied. Although the department has been af- fected by budget cuts, Robinson forsees no problems in maintaining a high qual- ity in the reports put out each year. The department will continue to provide an- swers to questions concerning students. Robinson jokes, l'People come to us and say, 'I want an answer to this prob- lem.' They may not want to hear that answer, but we do give them what they ask for. The Department of Institutional Research consist- ing of two people, judy Fields and Tom Robinson, is a department that is rarely heard about.

The ine structor pushes the student to ex- plore the knowledge and question what it represents and what it means. The teacher helps one to view learning as a revelation, and when the protege formulates a new idea or solves a problem, the teacher also experiences the won- der of learning. It is this wonder- ment that challenges the instructor to forge ahead despite the negative aspects of the reali- ties ofthe intellectual world. 256 T Faculty Faculty X 257 422.??1 ?2,,, ?$. 7? ????xi. 41.41 Z ; xx ,5xxa Agriculture Johnson, Dr. Glenn -Chair. of Ag. tB.S., OK St. Univ.

To others it is a preparation for a career in agriculture. The sheep farm plays a vital role in the education of students in the raising of sheep. The sheep farm is the self-supporting aspectofthe college farm; The farm runs approximately 40-45 sheep year- around. It also produces 50-60 lambs annually from the 40 ewes. Every spring the sheep are sheared and each ewe produces 10-12 pounds of wool to be sold on the open market here in St. J0- seph. During the spring all the rams at the farm are casterated. This cuts down on disease and raises the quality of the meat produced. According to Jim Walker, sheep production class instructor, The uncastrated ram will normally outgrow the castrated ones, the sacrifice in qual- ity and price is worth it. The sheep production class covers a wide aspect of the production of sheep. Subjects covered include genetics, breeding, docking tails, diseases of sheep, and general nutrition of the flock. The sheep on the farm are primarily raised for their meat value. The wool as- pect of marketing is secondary to this. All lambs are marketed in the'fall when they are six to eight months old. The market price is better at this time due to the num- ber of lambs. The two different breeds of sheep on the college farm are dorsett and suffolk. Both breeds are raised according to their particular needs, although they all just seem to run together. Even though the cattle rancher despises the sheep farmer, the sheep is the best all around pasture user ofany of the farm animals. Basically the sheep production class prepares the student for a career in sheep farming, touching on all the aspects of the business, giving him or her a better idea of what sheep farming is all about. Sheep farm employees, lohn Chapin and Travis Kelly, attempt to force an abandoned lamb to nurse from an adopted mother. .. .i. --.?' m i l . - WW4- away?

Doyle's A Study in Scarlet, which featured the popular character, stimulated in- terest in the investigative field in 1877. The field was later coined as criminalistics or forensic science, the application of science to law. James Carmichael has taught Criminalistics on campus for four years now. The class is an advanced area of study for criminal justice students. It is divided into two lectures and one lab experiment per week. Special areas of interest studied in the classroom are applied in the lab for better understand- mg. The Class is basically for those interested in the investiga- tive fields, Carmichael commented. These fields include pri- vate investigator tbetter known as P.I. to Rockford Files fansi and lab technicians. Characters with a host of unusual names sparked important discoveries in the early history of the field. Alphonse Bertillion is famous for anthropometrical signal- ment. Everyone knows, of course, that anthropometrical signalment is the measuring of body parts. Bertillion discov- ered that no two people have the same body measurements. Francis Dalton is recognized for dactyloscopy, or the sci- ence of fingerprinting. tLatent fingerprinting is demonstrated in the student labJ Karl Lansteiner grouped blood into the four basic types: A, AB, B and 0. Calvin Goddard is credited with the science of ballistics. In the crime lab, a suspect firearm can be matched to the bullet fired in an incident. Sir John Spills- bury made important advances in forensic medicine. Max Von Laue explored X-ray diffraction, making the analysis of crystal- line materials possible. The crime lab consists of seven sections the crime scene field team, firearms and toolmark section, wet chemistry, in- strument, serology, document and polygraph. The crime scene field team investigates any items that have a bearing on the investigation or activity related to it. Chemicals are used as catalysts to determine specific sub- stances in wet chemistry. Its concern is the identification of dangerous drugs. The instrument section is useful in accident investigations, poison cases, arson, lock examination and gunshot residue. In the serology section, information is determined from ex- amination of body fluids, hair and fibers. The document section checks for alterations on bonds, checks, credit cards, etc. Ultraviolet light, infrared limines- cence and low powered microscopy are some of the tech- niques that make detection of alterations relatively easy. The polygraph measures body reactions such as blood pres- sure, respiration and perspiration as guides to whether some- one is being truthful. The polygraph is somewhat controversial due to the fact that nervousness triggers these reactions, and nervousness isn't necessarily a sign of guilt.

Answer: Secretarial science. As a mat- ter of fact, this number is expected to double every ten years. Through the placement office here a student's chance of getting a job upon completion of the Associate Degree is 90-10006. Salaries vary from $8,000 to $14,000 annually. The National Secretaries Association defines a secretary as an executive as- sistant who possesses a mastery of office skills who demonstrates the ability to as- sume responsibility without direct super- vision, who exercises initiative and judgement, and who makes decisions within the scope of assigned authority. The following is just a sample of jobs in the secretarial science field: executive secretary, office manager, receptionist, duplicating clerk, records clerk, stenog- rapher, machine transcriber, and word processing systems operator. The program offers the Associate in executive secretary and secretarial and clerical certificates. There is currently a proposal awaiting approval by the State Coordinating Board, which would en- able the offering of an Associate of Sci- ence in Corresponding Secretary. This degree would emphasize word process- ing skills. Model office classes are geared to give the student a more realistic idea of what happens on the job. Sharon Downey, assistant professor, further explained this advantage. Stu- dents are involved in a workflow simula- tion which enables them to apply their skills in positions such as receptionist, payroll clerk, word processing operator, Clerical student Shelly Rose, key punches a letter on the WANG DIS 1 15 Word Processor. and assistant to the office manager. Recently an addition has been made to the program; not a new class or an instructor, but a $48,000 word proces- sor. The WANG O.I.S. toffice informa- tion systeml consists of a workstation with keyboard, a television-like screen, a central processing unit and a very fast printer. ' The function of the system centers around the production of documents. In a matter of minutes a complete docu- ment may be created, edited, and printed. it is made to do as much of the work as possible leaving the operator free to resume their administrative and managerial responsibilities. In the past few years the role of the secretary has changed drastically. With the introduction of systems like WANG, the interworkings of the American office has indeed become a science. i Departments i 263 Education Haynes, Earl e Chair. of Ed. tB.S., CMSU, M.S., CMSU, Ed.D., Univ. of K9 Aschermann, Jerw e eB.A., Univer. of No. CO, M.S., UT St. UnivJ Edwards, Nancy e eB.A., Graceland College, M.ED., UMC, Ph.D., UMKQ Fields, MaryJane - M.A., MWSC, B.S., NWMSU, M.A. Ed., UMKQ Hansen, Thomas - eBA.

At least they do until they have a chance to go into the Experi- mental Psychology Laboratory and see how the learning experiments with al- bino rats are conducted. Psychology Instructor Dr. Phillip Wann said, The purpose of the class is to give the students experience in de- signing, conducting, and analyzing exs periments. Most of the students experiments deal with learning, percep- tion, memory and motivation of the ani- mals. Specific experiments in different research areas deal with human subjects extra sensory perception tESPi, and lie detector study. Every Tuesday and Thursday the stu- dents enrolled in experimental psychol- ogy meet in the laboratory to run experiments and analyze their findings. Another three hours during the week are spent on lecture material. In one lab session, the students were divided into small groups of three to ' learn about operant conditioning experi- ments. While conducting a discrimina- tion experiment, the students trained their rat to press a lever to obtain food by the presence or absence of a light. The animals behavior, such as bar pressing can be recorded by automatic switches. The Skinner box, better known as the operant conditioning chamber, is an ar- tificial environment in which lights and sounds can be delivered and controlled and in which some of the animal's be- haviors are recorded. Another type of experiment used on the albino rats is the multipathway, bet-' ter know'n as the T maze. At the bottom ofthe maze is a little box in which the rat is place. At the top end of the maze are two boxes called goal boxes. The box on the right side contains food and the box on the left side contains no food. The purpose of this experiment is for the stu- . dents to train their rat to go to the box containing the food and water. The students say that studying the ani- mals arouses their curiosity a great deal and that it is very exciting to think the rats can learn so fast. At the end of the spring semester, the students either conducted an indepen- dent research project or prepared an ani- mal to compete in a Rat Olympics consisting of several events which in- volve operant conditioning. Students were allowed to build their own equip- ment for this project if it was required. There are many different kinds of equip- ment used in the lab, much of which the students have built themselves. In studying the albino rats and other animals, the psychologists hope to find parallels between human and animal be- havior or demonstrate the consistency of behavior patterns in man and lower ani- mals.

SAVING Achsah Heikel, Terri tonard Archer. An Impressive Art Remember in kindergarten when you cut a picture into a potato or an eraser, pressed it on an ink pad, and a picture came off? Would you believe two classes in college are offered in a process much like this? ART 340, beginning printmaking, and ART 440, advanced, explore the reliefand intaglio processes. The advanced course also introduces serigraphy or screen printing. The relief woodcut is the most ancient form of printmaking. Egypt and China used wooden stamps designed to make im- pressions in wax and clay. Relief prints are made from the raised printing surface. The part not meant to take the ink is cut away leaving a raised impression of the exact print. The most common form is the woodcut. The image is drawn on the block and parts to be printed around are cut away with a variety of tools. The remaining areas are inked and paper is laid on top. The back of the paper is rubbed to pick up the inked image evenly. Variations include linoleum block print- ing and wood engraving. In intaglio printing, the image areas are depressed below the surface of the metal plate. Lines are made by sharp tools and acids. The engraved line in the metal holds the ink while the sur- face is wiped clean. Only that line will print when damp paper is placed on the plate and they are run through the etching press with enough force to press with enough force to press the paper into the lines. This process leaves a crisp, sharp, raised line in the paper. ' Screen printing or serigraphy was developed from the sten- cil. It is made by stretching silk mesh over a wooden frame, blocking out chosen areas by various methods, and making a . print by forcing ink through the unblocked areas. Peter Green, author of Creative Printmaking, has this to say for the art of printmaking: Printing a surface can be a process of discovery, in which we are curious about the quality of a surface and by printing it discover its visual nature. We begin to see through a sense of touch, as in braille, and this seeing becomes visual when printing. Surrounded by the tools and mess inherent of an art studio, an art student explores the ancient process of printmaking. Departments t 267 ii f; !

STRUBE Troh, Dennis Rogers. y Anderson, Richard The Case Of The Unwanted Planetarium By Jan Porter People and animals have been known to die from lack of care, but what happens to not-so-old planetariums that are neglected? According to Mathematical Sciences Department Chairman Dr. Kenneth Lee, theyjust sit and rot. It's just sitting there. It hasn't been used. except for occa- sional classes that meet there for a special event. For class usage, the planetarium is convenient for special showings because of its lighting effects and soundproofing. But, according to June Deem, scheduling supervisor, all Classes that meet in a room other than the one they were regularly scheduled must go through her office. She said, I don't know who has a key, or who has access to it, butl haven't scheduled anything there. Up until last year, the planetarium had been used for various meetings of the Midland Empire Astronomy Club. But with the resignation of Russell Maag, planetarium coordinator and club member, even the club has not met there. But for any major use of the facility for public showings or use, it is not being utilized to the extent it should, according to Dr. Lee. The math department hopes to be budgeted the money to take over the responsibility for itl but Dr. Lee said that budget approval was a long way off, and it didn't look promising. If the department is allocated the money, it would be re- sponsible for finding a part-time coordinator and physics- astronomy teacher. Math department teacher Jerry Wilkerson hopes the depart- ment will be allotted the money so that future public relations work and public showings will resume. Dr. Terry Scott, astronomy and physics teacher, uses the planetarium as an aid to some of his classes. In his astronomy and physics classes, he takes the students there to show them the movements of the sun, moon and stars in various seasons. As for future use of the planetarium, no one seems to know where the answer lies. . . maybe all that's left is looking to the 'stars. Sitting idle, the planetarium needs money and a director, Departments i 269 KEAN Social Sciences.

Men feel that they have to be the sup- porter in the family. They feel obligated to spend a certain amount of money in the dating situation to keep the woman interested. They experience a great deal of stress by not showing their emotions. Men have a hard time trying to express anger, as well as sorrow. Ragland's involvement in women's study presentations sparked the idea of her teaching a class on sex roles. The class was offered for the first time this fall. A supporter of E.R.A., Ragland feels that women aren't liberated enough, es- pecially about the decisions men make concerning their lives. Housework is not valued by today's society, she pointed out. A woman al- most needs a career in the marriage situ- ation to feel worthwhile. In the dating situation, a woman feels obligated when a man spends money on her. I personally don't like it when men do all the money givingt One young man told me he figures he has to spend any- where from $10.00 to $20.00 on a date. I think it's fine for the woman to pay her way sometimes or even pay for the entire date. When the expenses are shared, no one feels obligated. Andrea Matthews, a student in the class, remarked, The class is very inter- esting, it is small; there's a lot of discus- Rearranging sion. We are discussing our attitudes about topics such as toys suitable for boys and girls, the societal response to the expression of emotions by males and females, and the way gender is ex- pressed through advertisements.

I feel women should receive equal pay forequal work. I would probably not be involved in a feminist movement un- less I was directly involved. I think men's roles are changing. It is more acceptable for men not to portray the hairy chest image that was once the established role.

The discipline becomes a way of giv- ing order and meaning to the confusion of a year, and so the discipline of the student, the grace of an athlete, the technique of the artist, all achieve a moral significance. The discipline merges with the creativity and gives birth to a creation. This is the key, for when a staff witnesses the birth of this cre- ation, all else becomes secondary. It re- flects some thirty personalities and promotes the best exercise of student cre- ativity. It is our hope the reader found in- telligence, memories and imagination within this volume and that the methodol- ogy, right or wrong, was always secondary. 288 l The End 'M a , mmqum ;w ;mu,nn
