Missouri Western has gone through this period and has finally reached collegiate adult- hood. Even with adults, however, there is always room for improvement. Western is constantly bettering itself. Additions to the present facilities, expansion to the curriculum and the continued recruitment of an ex- perienced professional staff and administration are examples of Missouri Westernts steps toward putting on the finishing touches.

The sports program suffered many losses of outstanding players from previous years. To cope with this, the coaches concen- trated their efforts not only on the present, but on future years. Diligent training and new ideas in technique were emphasized so to pre- pare the athletes for the years to come. Putting the finishing touches on the sports program for the future involved taking the ttraw mater- ialst, and molding them into prime athletic Glenn V J OpeningH .uu A 8tOpening rGetting a proper education requires about one-tifth of anW individualts life span.

N v pk For nine months, students stood in lines for everything from meals to movies to registra- tion, found themselves paying $20 or more, , ' for a single textbook, and waited for hours simply to wash and dry their clothes. Yet, with a countless number of parties each week, free entertainment throughout each month, and letters from home, student life was more than bearable. These fun-tilled activities added that special finishing touch to college life. J STUDENT LIFE Student Lifetl 1 Summer Records and Deaths, Highs and Lows National headlines over the summer announced landings, blast offs, failures, deaths and record lows in every concievable area. Shock waves rocked the nation as the judge read the juryis verdict that John W. Hinckley Jr. was unot guilty by reason of insanitytl on each of the thirteen counts against him in the assassination attempt on President Ronald Reagan March 30, 1981. The space shuttle Columbia landed on Independence Day before President Reagan and 400,000 Hag-waving Americans. Astronauts Ken Mattingly and Henry Hertsfield were directed onto a 15,000 feet stretch of California concrete for the shuttlels first landing on a paved runway. A California truck driver rigged 45 weather balloons to a lawn chair, strapped himself in and took a 45-minute ride up to 16,000 feet before he got cold, shot some balloons with a BB gun and crashed into a power line. He lived to tell his story to some unamused police officers. The drive to ratify the proposed Equal Rights Amendment, a feminist goal since it was introduced in Congress 59 years ago, failed, still three legislatures short of the 38 that would have made it the 27th Amendment to the Constitution. Figures released by the St. Joseph Light and Power Company showed that the summer of 1982 was 58 percent cooler than average and 64 percent cooler than the summer of 1981. President Reagan served notice that he did not feel bound to keep defense spending for fiscal 1984 and 1985 within the limits of the budget resolution that he had endorsed and Congress had adopted earlier. Henry Fonda, Who became a legend in the American enter- tainment world during a career that spanned more than five decades, died at age 77 in Los Angeles; The Federal Reserve Board lowered its basic lending rate to banks to 10.5 percent from 11 percent, touching off an immediate decline in other interest rates and adding to hopes that credit conditions will ease enough to permit an economic recovery. Former congressional page Leroy Williams confessed that he was lying when he made charges of homosexual relations between congressmen and pages. Williams, 18, said he lied to draw attention to a lack of supervision on the teenagers participating in the page program.

Xi ??wkinzqham Tallzce A World at War For a summer, of terrorism and war, the beginning was hardly indicative of its outcome. As June neared, Sophia Loren, once convicted of tax evasion, was arrested and' served 1 7 days of her 30-day sentence in a womenis prison in Italy. The actress took advantage of the time to write her prison memoirs. After two months of lighting in the Falkland Islands, Argen- tine troops surrendered on June 21 as British infantrymen overtook the Falkland capital of Stanley. Back in Britain, the victory celebration was soon followed with yet more ringing bells and a 41-gun salute as the British hailed the birth of their new prince, William Arthur Philip Louis. Weeks later Buckingham Palace acknowledged another ar- rival, but this time with no warmth or fanfare. Queen Elizabeth awoke early one morning to find Michael Fagan, an un- employed Londoner; opening the curtains of her bedchamber. After three attempts to get help, the queen finally summoned a chambermaid. The IRA, after months of virtual silence, re-emerged in the news in late June after setting off two bombs in London. The first exploded in a parked sedan in Hyde Park as the Queens Household Cavalry marched past. Less than two hours later, another went off under a bandstand at Regents Park where the Royal Green Jackets were performing. The French had their share of terrorism in late August When a deli in the Jewish district of Paris was attacked by a small anti-Semitist group. Ayatollah Khomeiniis holy warriorsf, with the backing of $30 million worth of Israeli arms, continued their 21-month war against Iraq in early June with an invasion through the Iraqi border. Nearby, Israel waged its own summer-long war with the PLO. After the assassination of their ambassador to Britain in early June, Israeli fighters began an all-out attack on Palestinian posts in Lebanon. By June 28 the Israelis had captured all of southern Lebanon, barricading 6,000 PLO guerrillas in West Beirut. Finally, after 76 days of violated ceaseetires, the PLO ended its 12-year stay in Lebanon when, with the aid of American, French and Italian peacekeeping troops, 14,000 Palestinian fighters evacuated Beirut. By Pam Dunlap SummerH 3 Between the Tears and the Rain The summer of 1982 will be remembered as a wet one, not only because of the rain, but also because of the tears shed in St. Joseph and the surrounding areas. The first ofJune came with a memorial service for 9-year-old Jennifer Barden. She had been kidnapped from her yard in Gallatin on May 1. No trace of her was ever found, although one suspect was captured and the other killed by police in a chase. 1n mid-June, David Kenneth Bocock, 1 7, was sentenced to ten years for the shooting death of his mother, Virginia Bocock, the December before. Most shocking of all was the rape and murder of 1 1-year-old Michelle Steele July 29. Painfully reminscient of the death of four-year-old Eric Christgen just four years ago, Michellels body was found beneath a pile of brush on the banks of the Missouri River. She had died of asphyxiation. On Aug. 3 a transient, Richard Martian Clark, was arrested for the crime. Of course, no summer can exist without at least some sunshine. After screening several applicants, the St. Joseph City Council Iinally hired the first city manager. Anton H. llTony Harwig of Palatin, 111., was chosen in August to run the city. The new form of government was voted in by the public in April. , And whats a summer without a little baseball? Once again St. Joseph hosted the Bronco World Series at Phil Welch Stadium. Games ran the week of Aug. 19-25. Although the home team made a good showing, the series went to the team from Miami, Fla. Another bright spot was a visit from Charlton Heston to the East Hills Mall. He was in town to promote his movie Mother Lodell and signed autographs for about 2,000. But the sun was nearly a stranger during the summer, as the many showers and thunderstorms dumped more than 10 inches of rain above the normal for the year on the area. The Platte and Grand Rivers were frequently out of their banks and citizens near them battled floods. Several area counties filed for disaster assistance for loss of homes and crops from rain and mud. Between the tears and the rain, St. Joseph will try to re- member the small bright spots of the summer of 1982. By Amy Chapman 1 4XSummer Rain ,. Rain Band Directors Barbershop Singers Charlton Heston ' Worksh ops, Barb ersh ops land Fireworks Fall and spring students enter classes with the belief that the college is nothing but empty lawns and classrooms for the two and a half months of summer. Not true. During the summer the college is invaded by several hundred zealous students and people interested in attaining various skills and information in the forms of regular classes and workshops. The wave of campus activity for the summer of 1982 started with the Fourth Annual Band Directors Seminar featuring Dr. N olly Vereen, assistant superintendent of the Shawnee Mission, Kan., school district. Practicing teachers attended a class that began toward the ' end of June. It presented the topic of economics in teaching- demonstrating how inflation has effected our educational system. The Department of Education sponsored the third annual Thoughts workshop With the theme of ?The Young Child in a Multicultural World? Independence Day did not go uncelebrated at the college. St. Josephs Parks and Recreations Department held the cityts fireworks in Spratt Stadium. Over 10,000 people gathered on and around the campus to view the display. Toward the end of July over 600 barbershop singers at- tended the Harmony College Education Program. Groups from all areas of the U.S.A. and several foreign countries filled the campus with the sound of music. Most students think of the campus as being desolate during the summer months. However, one trip to campus while a workshop is scheduled would prove that the college is not put into storage. By Robin Blevins Summertl 5 Plop! The bubble burst and the pink- .colored gum covered a contestants face 'and hair. The concentration was intense as the students awaited the start of the bubble gum blowing contest, one of the ac- tivities at this years Dorm Daze. With the gum not yet distributed, stu- dents began stretching their jaws. They wasted no time in getting the gum un- wrapped and in their mouths. They strug- gled at first, but within seconds the first bubbles were being measured. iiOh, boy, look at that one? a student yelled. The young man she was referring to kept blowing and blowing. iiYou better stop! Itis getting too thin! the girl warned. Dorm Daze is an annual three-day ac- tivity to help make the adjustment for The DAZE of Our Lives freshmen from home life to campus life an easier transition. However, do events such as the bubble gum blowing contest really help in making the transition smoother? What about frog races, ice cream socials, and volleyball? If not, what can be done to make it easier? Also, if Dorm Daze isnit helping freshmen adjust, is it a worthwhile project? No one except the dorm students can adequately answer these questions, and not even they can give a single answer. Their responses are as different as they are. According to Missy Stuart, 21 senior who lived in the dorms during her first three years, iiThe activities themselves were fun, but I think the suite set-up helped me more in making the adjust ment to college life? A freshman living in the dorms this year shyly said, Tm glad I did participate because I met a lot of neat people? A sophomore who is spending his first year in the dorms said, tilt helped me meet people, but I doubt if I see any of them except the ones on my floor.w While it is generally agreed that Dorm Daze is an enjoyable activity, it also ap- pears that adjustment to life on campus comes more from roommates than from Dorm Daze.

Classrooms arenit the best places to take some time to get aquainted with others. So how does a student form new friendships in a relaxed atmoshere? One answer is the Icebreaker dance, sponsored by the College Center Board. The cafeteria was quickly filled by stu- dents who came to socialize and listen to music provided by Dick andJay, popu- lar disc jockeys from KY102 radio station. CCB president Jeff Hoffman said, TiThe with Dick and Jay being a big drawing card? The new dress fads of the eighties were in full array as well. Students weara board felt there was a very good turnout , ing headbands, narrow ties hanging loosely over unbuttoned shirts and black coats with pullover shirts were among the attire which seemed to lash out at conventional fashion. Male students, with their hair cut above their ears and then lengthening to form a mane down the neckline, could be seen keeping up the fast beat of sum- mer hits like Hurts So Good by John Cougar and iiEye of the Tiger? the theme from Rocky III. Slower songs, such as tiEven the Nights are Better by Air Supply and iiIf the Love Fits Wear Itii by Leslie Pearl, became increasingly popular as the night progres- Chips Off the Old BlOCk sed and newly introduced couples be- came better acquainted. With time the crowds moved from several small, isolated groups toward a more cordial assemblage. As the body heat built up in the com- pact space of the cafeteria, the crowd began to melt off into the lobby and gradually towards the dorms and parking lots. The clock moved methodically into the night and the crowd became nothing more than small cubes of the block which began the evening.

It is no different in a petition for a change of study. In laymanls terms this is known as the perennial addwdrop syndrome. Why do students change their schedules after having gone through the ordeal of registration? George Ashworth, director of admis- sions and records, explained, llOften- times a class is closed when a student registers. It may open up in a few days? 01' as one student remarked, ill thought I could handle a lot more. My class load was just too full? Six days at the beginning of each semester are allowed for shifting schedules without having any transaction appear permanently on record. After standing in yet another line, the student who wishes to add or drop a class receives another form. Here, he com- pletes the additions andtor deletions of the classes he wishes to change and starts to make the rounds. These forms must be signed by the instructors involved and turned back into the office of records and admissions. Without these signatures, the original Classes would remain a part of the stu- dents permanent record. Ashworth stated that there were more adds and drops this year than last. He attributed this to the increase in enrolla ment. It really has nothing to do With more students Changing their minds. The number of addmrop students seems to correlate with the number of actual ena 18wAdd-Drop rollments. Ratios are usually the same every year? Ashworth added, llThere seems to have been a shift in the interest of the students. A few years ago, it seemed all we had were business majors. Now we see people going into the field of computer science. We have our Classes set up on what the students seem to be majoring in. This shift of interest causes a lot of problems concerning classes Closing so early during registration. in takes a while to rearrange classes and staff to meet the requirements of our students. Just about the time we have one degree area adequately staffed, the area of interest shifts to something else? Ashworth said. Most students, aside from the red tape, really don't have many complaints against the formalities of adding or drop- ping a class. One student commented, ltIt really isnlt that bad. Fm already used to standing in line from registration. A few more hours arenlt going to hurt mefi Ashworth confirmed this statement. But he also commented, llWe do receive threatening letters and phone calls, but so far, we have had no follow-ups? In all probability, each student will at least one time in his college career be forced to alter his schedule for one reason or another. He should take heart, at least, that it is not a complicated mat- terait just consumes a little time and a lot of leg power.

ZWConcert uppose somebody gave a concert and nobody came? Thatls exactly what happened when the Mercy River Boys played Spratt Stadium. The free concert, sponsored by the College Center Board, was held Sept. 12. Despite the gusting wind and threat of rain, the group performed at peak musi- cal levels to an audience of approxi- mately 150 people. The T exas-based group had been cho- sen after the CCB conducted a poll to find what kind of music students would like to listen to. The country and western band seemed relaxed and at ease from the beginning. When they broke into ttDonlt It Make You Wanna Dancef the audience began to smile and clap. The audience seemed to come alive during a rendition of the Jerry Lee Lewis hit ltGreat Balls Of Fire? complete with cheering and foot stompa ing. After playing for 45 minutes, the band took a 15-minute intermission and was enthusiastically welcomed back with sh- outs and whistles. They returned the favor by breaking into TtElviraf and this time they were not alone. The audience, swaying, clapping and tapping, sang along with them. Between songs, the band joked with audience members who responded with applause and laughter. During a slow-tempo start of uPut A Little Love In Your Heart? piano player Gary Goss joked with a photographer. He repeatedly stopped during the song to pose for pictures. In one pose, Goss even raised a bare foot to the keyboard and called out to the photographer, uAre you ready yet?

Poynter ConcerUZl Field Day for Farmers . . . Without the Tractor On the cloudy Wednesday morning it looked like it could rain at any moment, but farmers never let clouds keep them from the fields or from Farmeris Field Day. The college farm was crowded with farm implements, research project dis- plays and Chemical demonstrations. New model tractors and combines were dis- played by Massey Ferguson, Allis Chal- mers and John Deere. iiThis year was the largest machinery display weive ever had? said one Ag Club member. Alfie the fistulating cow was also on display to area farmers. Alfie is a black Angus cow with a special removable plug in her stomach. She is used in feed evalu- ation and nutritional studies. The Farmers Field Day was sponsored by the agriculture department and the Ag Club. The purpose of the field day, according to Rick Bellman, president of the club, is that its where all of our volunteer student research projects are shown to the farmers. Its all in the stu- dents, hands from start to finish. They select the projects, they work on them and this is where they pass on what they have learned? The students who have worked on the research fields gave the farmers tours of the test plots, explaining the process of the test and its results. Some of the tests covered such areas as tino till farming, herbicide trials and bacteria inoculation of fields. When finished with the field tours, the farmers and students returned to the farm for a lunch of barbecued chicken and a demonstration of computer usage on the farm. 1 learn so much out here.

We use Alfie in feed evaluation, nutritional studies and in spe- cial class projects. The plug in Allieis stomach does not affect her life span or style. Alfie has even become a celebrity because of her special ability. She has appeared at the East Hills Mall on Agricultural Day and on local tele- vision. The Agriculture Department plans to keep Alfie around, using her for future research and exhibitions until she dies of old age. i Dr. Cowsert stated, llI get a lot of people reacting to Alfiels operation as cruelty, but she helps us learn so much through re- search that we help other cattle, trying to make life better for them, not worse?

Sandy i Cowl23 b i g Part-time instructors UiJvaCUJgL;4;HI 1r , Get the Job Done iiAn important part of a college ad- ministrators job is to meet rapid cur- riculum growth. One way of doing this is to bring in special expertise from the community? explained Dr. Robert Nel- son, provost. From a financial standpoint part-time instructors are very economical. Because they are only expected to teach and not contribute to the development of the department, they are not paid on the same scale as full-time instructors. There are three additional financial advantages for the college: access to college facilities are limited, there is no medical or life insurance and part-time instructors are on a different retirement plan. IIPart-time teachers arenIt guaranteed a position except for that particular semes- terf said Dr. Nelson. However, because many of the part- time instructors come from the business community in and around St. Joseph, these disadvantages have not been of much significance. As a matter of fact, in many cases money has little to do with the reasons for the businessmen taking a position as a part-time teacher. iiBecause Pm occupied full time, it is important for me to keep abreast of any new developments within the field of criminal justice. By teaching a course, I am enriching my own knowledge as well as the students? stated Bob Hayes, St. Joseph chief of police. By having part-time instructors on staff the college is able to add a variety of special interest courses, not to mention the fact that the students have an oppor- tunity to learn from persons with first- hand experience in a particular field. Because many of the part-time teachers have had experience in their field in the working world, many students feel that they get a better understanding from them. They teach you things that you can actually apply to the real world. Part-time instructors are some of the best teachers I have? stated sophomore Mark Justin. Dr. Willis McCann, who holds a mem- bership in the Missouri Bar Association and has a PhD. in psychology, has volun teered his time and expertise to the col- lege. The former chief of psychology at the St. Joseph State Hospital said, iiThe people at the hospital were basically doubtful, but the young people at the college are encouraging because they have so much potential? The enjoyment part-time instructors get from teaching seems to be enough to off-set any financial burdens there may be. II enjoy imparting information to people who are interested in a subject that I am somewhat knowledgeable in, stated John Gibson, vice-president of Far- mers State Bank. Gibson teaches a bank management course. The experiences these part-time in- structors have had in the real world are often helpful in getting the students to understand the material. ItMy experiences at the State Hospital were particularly helpful when I taught abnormal behaviorf concluded Dr. MCCann.

Fankhauser and Speechffheater Departments offer opportunities through internships to find out about a potential career on a first- hand basis. According to Carol Pagan, coordinator for the Speech Department, iiWe teachers hope to get as much out of this as the interns themselves. This is done by as- signing the students papers on What they learned and how they applied the ClaSS' room theory to the job? Two students held speech internships during the fall semester. The program should be in full swing by the fall of 1 983. The Englishaournalism program, headed by Jane Frick, had seven fall stue dents enrolled. The jobs ranged from public relations to teachers aides. According to Frick, The students gain a sense of respect when they can apply What they have learned in the classroom to the real job market. It also gives valu- able work experience to students Who have a junior or senior standing. The internship programs offer a broad range of fields students can enter to test their interest.

But Iim taking the mountaineer- ing class, not because Fm crazy, but so I can go skiing in Colorado! Bill Poynter laughingly explained. There are even girls in the class? All of the courses in the Military Sci- ence program flourished in the fall With an abundance of new cadets. According to Military Science Instruo tor Captain Glenn Davis, enrollment dou- bled since the year before. Opening en- rollment for 198 1 numbered 67 students, compared to 122 for 1982. Instructors expected a total of 200 by the end of the semester. Recruiting was heavier in 1982 With the help of returning students Who en- joyed the program and encouraged their friends to enroll in the various courses. The instructors have a good reputation of knowing each program in depth. De- spite popular belief, they do not treat the students as if they are going through boot camp: Each semester there is at least one canoe trip sponsored by the Military Sci- ence Department. For $65 to $80 a stue dent can sign up to go to Colorado on the annual ski trip. The trip becomes more popular each year and is the reason many students sign up for the classes. The Military Science programis major goal is to give the armed services an abundance of collegeeeducated lieutene ants. Many times these people are history majors. John Marty and Bart Sauter both car ried 4.00 G.P.A.,s in 1981 and have found ROTC to be quite helpful as they con- tinue their education. Both received scholarships that virtually paid all their expenses. This opportunity is open to anyone interested in the program.

However, as any eighteen to twenty- one year old knows, the Carter Administ- ration passed a law in 1980 requiring young men to register in preparation for a military draft. Although it seemed like a good idea to prepare for a military crisis after the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan, there are many who are bitterly opposed to legislation. Many males who were born in 1 960-64 were hoping that the election of Ronald Reagan would bring an end to draft regist- ration. However, Reagan changed his campaign position and renewed the re- gistration order. This change in position came about because all the information had not been available to him as a candidate, thus he had not understood the full scale of its importance. The negative response expected has been minimal, at least it appears that way on campus. II donlt think they ever should have gotten rid of the draft? stated one eigh- teen year old. iiIt didnit bother me to register? Out of about 8.5 million men of regist- ration age, 92 percent have registered, leaving only 674,000 who have not. If an actual draft is enacted, these men have the option of claiming they are conscientious objectors. If this plea is accepted, they Will be assigned to a non- combat position. In actuality, all registration will do is speed up the process of finding the young men if there does become a need for a draft. One of the main reasons for the Reagan Administration renewing registration is because they feel that ending it would have sent a bad signal to the Soviet Union. Reagan feels that in order to conduct good faith strategic arms negotiations the United States must be able to deal with the Soviets as their equal. This stance by Reagan, coupled with the fact that during the campaign his opponents tagged him a war monger, has caused many males to take a dim View of registration. uI only registered because it's a felony , not to. I think Reagan is trying to get us into a war with the Russians? Charged an angry twenty year-old. The law states that males must register at a post office within thirty days before or after their eighteenth birthday. The maximum penalty for non-registration is a $10,000 fine and five years in prison. The governments first targets for pro- secution were the 160 men who had written to tlhe Justice Department or were turned in to the authorities. They concentrated on what was termed the useventy most adamant? in hopes that the fear of prosecution would inspire others less vocal to register. As of the end of August, five had been indicted. Warning letters were sent to 33,000 twenty year olds, who would be the first to go in case of an actual draft. In reference to the late summer and early fall prosecution of the select few non-registrants, an eighteen year old stated, iTm glad to see it, but I think its unfair for the government to prosecute just a few of them. The first man convicted of non-regista ration was Enten Eller, 20, of Virginia. Ellerls defense was his belief that he had been called by God not to register. He was given three years probation, must do 250 hours of community service work, and must register within 90 days. Eller says that he will not register, even if it means going to jail. This negative response doesnlt seem to be present on this Mid-Western cam- pus. Although an attempt to hear the reasons for not registering was made by the Griffon yearbook staff, no registration resisters responded to the opportunity. Captain Edward J. Collins, instructor in the military science department, ac- counted for the lack of negative feelings in this area, This area seems a little further right of center than the rest of the country.

For some unknown reason, masses of people with terrible headaches seem to linger around the Student Health Service office every Monday morning complaining about the loud noises made by a Video game downstairs. Their dilemma, which appears in epidemic proportions, is caused in part by the ingestion of alcohol over the weekend. Yet, the most common complaints by students are of upper respiratory ailments, including the common cold. Students donlt go to the Health Services Office only for medical treatment. Sometimes they need professional help in coping with stressful situations. In one particular case a student was having bad headaches. Instead of giving her medicine, the nurse took time to talk to the student about situations that might be causing her headaches. Math anxiety was determined to be the cause. After a few sessions With the nurse, the student learned to relax and her headaches ceased. , Nurse Margaret Sullivan said, iiI feel that the primary respon- sibility of the nurse is to educate people about their bodies and how to take care of them.u The office operates With an open-door policy during the fall and spring semesters from 7:30 am. to 7 pm. Anyone is welcome, and no appointments are necessary. A nurse takes care of any physical ailment students might have, but a doctor is on call daily if needed. M Although around 4,000 students come through the office each year, many of them are repeaters. Sullivan is concerned that many students donit know What services are offered to them or that these services are free of charge. They include everything from dental screening and eye examinations to test for anemia, pregnancy and throat infec- tions. The office also has a full gynecology Clinic. The office loans equipment to students, including such items as heating pads, vaporizers, crutches and ankle and knee supports. Most medications are free-although some are sold at cost. Sullivan urges all students to take advantage of the office because good health is their main concern, even if the problem is a Chronic hangover. By Sandy Veale 30lHealth Justifying a N eed New courses are sparse, especially at a time when the federal government is cutting back on the education budget. iiAny time we ask the Curriculum Board for a new course we have to justify a needf explained Dr. Charles Coyne, dean of Education and Psychology. tiWe must supply the board with a rough estimate of both immediate and long term costs of the course? One alternative administrators have when they are turned down by the board is to modify existing Classes. Such was the case with the secondary reading techniques class. When a dean makes a request for a new course in his division, it is either to increase degree opportunity or to satisfy student demand. 1 The Library Science Department added selection and acquis- i ition of library materials to enable a student to become cer- 1 titied in library science. Courses such as art theory and criti- cism, plant physiology, pathology, public relations analysis, internship in applied communication and introduction to nursing were added for similar reasons. The addition of these courses, however, has made only the slightest revision in the curriculum. Dr. Bob Scott, former dean of liberal arts and sciences, offered this as proof that the college is basically stable and offers few new courses. Often when courses are added, it is largely due to a wide spread student request. For example, beginning tap dancing was added to the dance curriculum after a large student appeal to the administrators. With the addition of this tap class, dance students have a variety of traditional and modern dances Classes. Although new Classes are added through student appeal, administrators feel that there are hetter ways of improving the curriculum. iiWe are more interested in improving existing courses rather than adding new onesf stated Dr. Scott.

And, in front of everyonels eyes, mild-mannered Rick Euler transforms into the Chainsaw Madman. The hundreds of people who toured the Lambda Chi Haunted Forest this year remember Rick. He was the one who lurked in the woods wearing coveralls and the mask of an ugly old man. At the proper moment, he lunged, brandishing a menacing chainsaw and sending the girls scrambling onward, dragging their boyfriends with them. In the daylight, however, one would hardly suspect that this innocent looking senior could really be an escapee from an asylum. Rick is majoring in economics and management, and is president of the Lambda Chi. This is the fourth year the Lambda Chi has put on the Haunted Forest. The proceeds go partially to the Noyes Home for Children, and partially to keep the fraternity going. Rick used his Chainsaw to frighten more than groups led through by the guides. From his position near the back of the forest, he also doubled as security to prevent anyone from sneaking in. Spending every night for two weeks in the woods with nothing but a non-func- tional Chainsaw as company was not al- ways fun. llIt was fun right at the start,,, Rick said, llbut toward the middle it got a little routine.

From outside beneath the pink glow of the street lamps, the College Center appeared as usual-silent, serene, almost smug. At 7 pm. the lights were on and the curtains drawn. But inside there was movement and madness. Folding tables were packed with students Dropped on the edges of folding chairs while 10 and 100 dollar bills were shuffled back and forth. Once a year on this night, latent gamblers emerge to try their hands at a little coun- terfeit gambling. Missouri Westernis Casino Night is a make-shift mock Monte Carlo, a dash of saccharine in a hard-core gamblers tea. To participate in the noise and anxiety, students lined up before a table manned with three grinning money changers wearing Casino Night visors. On the table lay a computer printout listing all stu- dents and a cardboard box of fake bills. Once confirmed as a legitimate stu- dent, each gambler received a bundle of play money worth a meager $500 and was set free to wander about and squan- der his share as he saw fit. The College Center was not your usual Las Vegas haven for high-rollerkno ceil- ing mirrors or deep Orlon carpet, tuxedos or sequined gowns. Here the lights were bright and the floors slick. Most of the students were clone-Clad in T-shirts and jeans, with an inevitable pair of fatigues mixed in. All eyes concentrate on the roulette wheel UighU at casino night. a Photo by 8.

When not slouching over a blackjack table, these two men groped about the room with their fists stuck deep in the pockets of handsome dress jackets. When they,d turn to give a dealer a serious gambleris glance, strangers nearby were startled to see their left ears pierced with little earring replicas of tumbling dice. This may not seem as dignified as the Sands or the Circus-Circus, but like any legal gambling establishment, Casino Night had its own security guards milling about looking bored and characteristicly worried. And why not. Around them surged an unfamiliar madness infected by some invisible gambling germ that thickened when the limit was lifted at 8:30 and the stakes climbed higher and higher. Innocent faces gathered tight above the roulette wheel, eager to get in some final gambling action. A croupier started to explain to his group, iiln case youire wondering how were playing this . . . 5, but everyone,s eyes were following the tiny ball as it danced around the little wheel. Across the way, gamblers at the blackjack table tried to appear calm and confident. A nod from one gambler was followed by a jerk of the dealers right arm, nod, jerk, nod, jerk. A girl ap- proached from behind and asked the dealer for a spare dime. The game jolted to a stop and all heads turned. Faces were frowned in confusion.

All the entries carried a theme from a commercial advertisement. The Lawyerls Assistant Society presented Legal Briefs, for example, and had the fruit of the loom guys boasting that they supportedll their Griffs. After a seemingly eternal couple of hours the Golden Griifons began to march led by their twirling Joan of Arc, Heidi Jacobson. Things started to roll, literally. Slowly the colorful procession began to play follow the leader through- out the parade route, each to the beat of a different drummer. Of the high school bands, most appeared to be comprised of toy Salvation Army soldiers. The only bands that deviated from the normal at- tire were those adorned in warm up suits and cowboy garb. No parade would be complete Without the Moila men dizzily making circles on their little scooters, electra glides and dune buggies and this parade was no exception. Round and round they wound up Edmond and down Francis. Slowly the colorful proces- sion began to play follow the leader throughout the parade route, each to the beat of a different drummer. Cars and trucks and floats followed advertising the Emporia State Hornets demise. The Baptist Student hoped the Hornets had a piece of the rock and the Griffon Yearbook said that 20 to I prefer Griffons over Hornets in a survey. Clowns bombarded onlookers with candy and congressional campaign literature. The hours of prepartation were over, the endless waiting in line to proceed had passed and twenty minutes later the 1982 Homecoming parade was history.

For the Slaughter issouri Western works with a $10 million budget each year. Of this, 67.3 percent comes from state appropriations, 24.2 percent from student fees, and 8.5 percent from additional incomes, including an interest income. According to guidelines established by the Coordination Board, 77 percent of the lteducational costsll of state colleges and universities should be supplied by the state, With 20 percent from students and the remaining 3 percent from other incomes. MWSC students are paying almost $420,000 more than the Coordination Board had designated. The problem, ac- cording to the colleges Vice President of Administrative Affairs Kenneth Hawk, is that the state has cutback on its allota ment for higher education. The biggest stumbling block in the path to higher state appropriations is that Missourians have a dangerous aversion to taxes. The last time Missouri citizens voted to increase taxes was nearly 12 years ago. Furthermore, in the last five years alone,the state has cut taxes by $200 million. Hawk put it point blank, 11As long as the people of Missouri are reluctant to pay, you guys are going to have to pay? State appropriations for the college were cut by 3 percent in August-a loss of almost $216,000. Since the college needs a $10 million budget in order to offer a reasonable education experience, the loss must be made up. Of all the colleges financial sources, tuition is the only flexible number. Hence, student fees increase. A tuition of 5390 per semester 0er depletes many students life savings.-Photo by J. Buss Hawk summed it up in a simple maxim, 11As long as therels inflation, there Will be an increase in tuition. In other words, in the next period of time, the students will be paying more of their bill? Once state appropriations, student fees and all remaining funds are combined, the total is divided as folloWs: education and general, 81.1 percent; auxiliary ena terprise, 11.2 percent; plant fund, 6.5 percent; and college farm, .5 percent. The category headed lleducation and general refers to the cost of instruction, public service, academic support, stua dent services, institutional support, scholarships and operation of the plant. The llauxiliary enterprisell category re- fers to housing tboth on and off campusD, laundary costs, student life, the shuttle and other expenses. Instead of turning to the students to reconcile the full loss due to inflation and state cutbacks, the college scould shave or sever funds to any one of the listed expenses in the budget as llflxed costsll Which must be met. Along with a tuition of $390 per semes- ter, students also pay an obligatory ac- tivities fee of $10 and a matriculation fee of $5. The more inquisitive student may wonder where this $15 goes. In the category of a additional incomes that makes-up 8.5 percent of the colleges total income, there is a subdivision labeled llmiscellaneous income, under Which is listed such things as parking ticket lines, library fines and the $5 mat- riculation fee. As for the activities feeait is sent to the Student Government Association where it is divided and dealt out as fol- lows: 10.6 percent to the executive branch, 68.9 percent to the College Ac- tivities Board and 7.7 Percent to the Dormitory Association. The legislative branch spends about a third of its share on special projects to improve campus, such as signs and benches. The remaining two-thirds is split among various campus organiza- tions. Money for the executive branch is used primarily for the operation of that branch, including salaries for the SGA president and vice president, the projects director and certain work-study person- nel. , The College Activities Board spends its money on student activitiekhlms, concerts, dances, cultural events and Homecoming. A small portion is also allotted for the CAB chairpersonls salary. The Dormitory Associationls 7.7 per- cent is spent on dorm activities. Of the 10 state colleges and univera sities in Missouri, tuitions range from approximately $510 to $240. At $390 per semester, MWSC charges the second highest tuition, topped only by the Uni- versity of Missouri. However, as pointed out by Hawk, it is hard to compare costs. Each college is llorganized differently, with different goals and different missionsf thus ac- counting, to some extent, for variations in tuition. A more tangible reason for differing tuitions has to do with the amount it costs to operate an institution of higher education in relation to the size of enroll- ment. Most colleges have fixed costs that have to be covered in order to maintain or improve the quality of education. Such Iixed costs include faculty and adminis- trative salaries, student services, scholar- ships and utilities, to name but a few. Colleges With smaller enrollment need more per student to meet these fixed costs. thur fees, explained Hawk, uWill be a little different to offset the fixed costs?

This is 1'6 565. ttI think the the women, v itness. Everyone seems concerned with it today, especially women. The reasons vary as much as the people themselves. Some of the reasons are weight, figure and stress control and the desire for a longer life. Fran Schwenk, the instructor for the Beginning Weight Training and Condi- tioning class, explained that because of todayls lifestyle women are becoming more and more interested in what in the past was considered a male-dominated area. This is reflected in the fitness Clas- ses. I think the best attendance is from the women, who make up over half of the Classf, Schwenk commented. He also added that women take the class usually to firm and tone muscles. Marsha Dahl took the class at another college, liked it, so she decided to take it here. Dahl explainsflThe class isnit an easy one. You have to be disciplined. We work out for one hour every Monday and Wed- nesday. We work on every muscle in the legs and the arms. We also firm up the stomach and the Chest muscles. Not only do I meet with the class, but I also come in on Fridays to run and work out? Another class that is expressly de- signed for women is Body Dynamics. Vicki Keegstra, the instructor of the Class said, IlThe Class is geared for, the people out of condition? , ' Sandy Veale, a 26-year-old mother of two commented, III joined the class to get in shape and stay there. Another reason is because winter is coming and I will need more motivation to exercise because I wont be able to go outside? Keegstra explained that fitness can be obtained by many different methods, in- cluding walking, jogging, exercises for muscle tone, aerobic dance, exercises in water and those for flexibility. According to student Charlotte Antil, IIWe have been doing exercises for the muscular and cardiovascular system and I feel wonderful? For the class final the members of the class have to create an exercise program of their own and follow it for four and a half weeks. At the end of the semester they have to present 12 minutes of their program aerobically. According to Keegstra, IlThe benefit of any exercise program is the use it or lose if law. The law pertains to the muscles; if they arenit in use they will soon be- come flab and therefore be just that much harder to get back in shape. She also commented that there are now 36 women in the Body Dynamics Class, but that men arenit excluded. llFit- ness is important to everyone regardless of age? To alleviate stress and lose weight, Vinetta Randall, 62, took Beginning Tap. For years, Randall has taken care of her 92 yeareold mother so until this time she has not been able to join any fitness program. nI have always been a little nutty. I like to do new things.

Very few students wear Clothing soley to protect themselves from the heat and cold, to ward off insects and other phys- ical hazards, or out of modesty.The majority dress with at least a little bit of fashion consciousness in mind. Never let it be said that fashion is for women onlyfi One glance at the guys on campus proves that the average college male cares as much about how he looks as a woman does, even when it comes to hairstyles. According to Command Performance, a local hair shop, many of the college-age men are getting a bi-level cut that is short on the ears and longer in back. For women, anything is in style. Longer hair is coming back, but soft curly perms are still big. . Two earrings in one ear and three in the other is one of this years newest fads. Small loops are worn in the bottom hole with tiny diamonds, dots or stars in the two upper holes. At this rate, in five years how much jewelry will women be wear- ing in their ears?

After dodging bar bouncers and out- maneuvering weekend partiers, you would have found yourself at the Sweetheart Dance. Missouri Westernis celebration of love, Sadie Hawkins-style. Outside Ramada Innis Grand Ballroom, stragglers mingled with non-stragglers, some leaving, some arriving, some stal- ling to read the sign. The Ballroom, the sign explained, was being remodelled.

Garlind shed his armour and dove irt. His brother, Nicholi, fol- lowed. As lacle would have it, both met by two angry troglocbiteseprehiLstoric, scaly, green bipeds that hate humans and, on occasion, secrete a foal-smelling mush. After some thought, one of them suggested that they bite through the troglodytes necles thereby puncturing their jugular veins. But the Dungeon Master advised against it. It would he lilee Chewing through an alligator hag. l, Subsequently, Garlind and Nicholi were dragged down into the water where a battle ensued, Each sustained eight hitpoints of damage. The Dungeon Master rolled his dice and proclaimed that Garlina' had a 1 Opercerzt chance of drowning. At last, Gorgo, a noblefighter aridfriend of the bards, dove in with his magic trident whose powers would enable him to breath underwater. The game is Dungeons and Dragons. And during the past few years it has become increasingly popular among Mis- souri Western students. In fact, D 8: D devotees living in the dorms often set aside weekends to play, breaking only to scuttle over to the cafeteria to swallow a lunch or a dinner before resuming the game in full force. A player enters the game by preparing a character that he will guide through various adventures regulated by a Dun- geon Master tDMy. First, by throwing dice, a player randomly generates the characters abilities in the areas of strength, intelligence, wisdom, dexter- ity, constitution and Charisma. The 56iDunge0ns and Dragons player must then decide the characters racial stock from seven possibilities: dwarves, elves, gnomes, half-elves, half- lings, half-orcs and humans. With the charactefs abilities in consid- eration, a player then selects a character class, or profession, from the following classes and subclasses: cleric, druid, tighter, paladin, ranger, magiC-user, il- lusionist, thief, assassin and monk. The class dictates how that particular charac- ter will react to the challenges he will meet during the game. The DM then designs a scenario includ- ing risks and adventures through which the characters must struggle in order to reach a common goal. Adventures may call for characters to trek through strange dungeons and battle evil monsters of all imaginable sorts to save a distressed princess or rid a village of evil. Each game will be different with respect to the DM and the players in- volved. Phillip Nichols, a DM who has played D 8: D for six years, analyzed the games merits. tilt teaches you how to think on your feet. Modern society doesnit teach you that. Our world is too safe. There are no challenges today except keeping your bills paid. For this reason, people donit think. But in this game, after losing a character once or twice, you start to think. You have to be able to make a snap decision and make it right? As a DM who has played for over a year, Mike Nave described D 8: D as a diversion. ltlt allows you an opportunity to take chances that you normally wouldnlt take. It gives you a feeling of comradship with other players, because if you donit work together, no character will be around to tell about it. Mainly, it teaches you an appreciation for social interaction and lets you have a good time at the same time? Nave commented. For Nave, what was most alluring about the game is that players have llgot to actively participate. Its an active medium that requires that you participate rather than merely observe? Bob Sears, a player who has been ex- posed to the game for two years, plays because it gives him a chance to release tension while working with fantasy. TI can create fantasies and put them in a character and see them work? TWe are a minority group? Nichols explained, llbecause of the fact that we have our own language, customs and rituals. When a bunch of us get to talking, other people start looking at us strangely. But actually, the bulk of us are just your average-looking Joeis who arenit getting everything we need out of society. Soci- ety just isnit challenging us enough? The Dungeon Master scanned the anx- ious faces slouched over the table and shrugged, ill guess no one is going to put up the cash for a resurrection? A heavy silence followed. Eyes shifted. Finally, Wow much is a resurrection? The DM, shaded by his Dungeon Master Screen, tossed the dice and a number of gold pieces was set. The remaining characters, finding the amount reasonable, picked up their three dead companions and set out for the nearest village in search of a high-leuel cleric to perform the resurrec- tion.

However, those involved had mixed feelings about the benefits. According to BillKuechle1,director of placement, IiThe key to us helping the students find a job is their coming in for early help. I think if a Student will come . in and fill out a placement file and attend the seminars that we provide on campus that he or she will greatly benefit by it With a successful interview. uI thilLK mat ulL areas that are the most in demand are the areas of high'technol- ogy, medical services and elementary and secondary education. I see the areas of production of goods, tranportation and sales beginning to turn around. Kuechler said the way he measures the success of the day is by the number of businesses returning to interview. Last year 55 businesses involved with govern- ment, industries and hospitals came to 8.1.6. Day. The purpose of BIG. Day is to provide students with early contacts and to ena- ble the students to practice interviewing skills. But with the students the feelings were mixed-some good, some bad and some a little of both. According to Linda Brandt, We worked on our resumes in our Business Communication Class. I think the pur- pose of BIG. Day is to get contactSTI donIt think that a job offer will come of it. Nancy Reece also thought that it was a quick way to make contacts. ilThe inter- view can help a person decide if they want 'to stay in the same field or maybe get into a different field.

I left because there werenit any businesses there that I wanted to spend the rest of my life working for, he ex- pained. Political Science major Doug Kean said, III think it was terrible. The main jobs were from the areas of marketing and management. Even the fast foods were looking for management degrees. I thought it was the biggest waste of time, and I dont think I will go next year. Chloe Malone said, I thought there should have been more businesses and industries represented. I was really disap- pointed Because no one Wanted to hire, and therefore it was a real let down . But even with the students, negative responses, Kuechler thought that the day went beautifully.

Joe Vigliaturo, manager of Auxiliary En- terprises, stated that the remodeling of the student center was done for the stu- dents. uThe old appearance of the center was very drab and the work was done to make a more congenial atmosphere. The funds which made the change possible came from three different areas. There was an initial fund for the refur- bishing of the center, which purchased nine tables at a cost of $90 each. Food Service supplied table cloths and the Campus Activities Board donated money to purchase blinds similar to those in the cafeteria. A brainstorming session was held last summer by Dean Forrest Hoff, Vigliaturo and other concerned supporters. They wanted to turn the student center into something the students could identify with-a gathering place to meet people, somewhere commuter students could relax and even help them save money on trips back and forth between home and school. 4 The new sign was furnished through the efforts of Dean Hoff. Cloe Malone designed and painted the griffons that are on the windows and Don Cowes de- signed the plexiglass signs inside the center. Dr. Looney chose tiEaglesis Nestii for the theme of the upper floor and Lionis Denii for the lower floor. Food services provided menu changes to ap- peal to the palate of the college students. The Rathskellar was something like a mother-in-laweeveryone knew it was there but they tried to avoid it. iiEven though the pinball machines and the pool tables were down there, the students wouldnittgo use them, so you know it was in bad shape? teased main- tainance carpenter George Danner. The first step of the renovating pro- cess, which began the first of November, was to tear out the chicken wire ceilings and the old wiring. Once this was com- pleted, the ceiling was lowered and the walls were painted and paneled. The Maintenance Department did the entire project, which cost $9,800. The funds were provided from money gener- ated through previous conferences at the college. The Conference Center, the new name for the space in the' basement of the College Center, is subdivided into four rooms. According to Vigliaturo, the new rooms are particularly attractive for ban- quets and workshops because each room is soundproof, therefore enabling four different groups to convene at the same time. The Conference Center has eliminated the need of the snackbar and cafeteria for meetings, thus making it less difficult to schedule conferencs during the academic year. nIt can be a pace changer for the stu- dents. T hey can have special dinners as well as leadership conferences and work- shops, Vigliaturo said. Prior to remodeling the atmosphere was cold and full of eyesores, whereas now it is conductive to the socializing elements needed for a successful event. tiltis really a night and day difference. Thereis an air of warmth in the area now? Vigliaturo said.

Bob Brynes, a member of CAB, described the bash as nthe best thing weive done on short notice. We estimate that between 150 to 200 students showed up, all pretty much MtAtStH fanatics? After pushing through the turnstile into the cafeteria, stu- dents were approached by a CAB representative in a white surgical smock and a straw cowboy hat distributing raffle tickets for door prizes and reminding each newcomer to fill out a trivia quiz available on request at one of the folding tables. As a distraught Alice flapped about after sighting a UFO up on the silent screen, knowledgeable MtAiStH fans scribbled on quiz dittos. A group of men in low-cut dresses and dangling earrings crossed their legs and flicked their wrists in the back. Nurses in surgical masks lined up for free popcorn at the concession stand. A patient, his head wrapped in gauze and his wrist attached to an IV bottle labeled Hospital Booze, slouched in a wheelchair. His doctor approached with a pre- scription of popcorn and rolled him up closer to the screen. The night was reminiscent of the 4077this own mess tent movies. Hawkeyes, Trappers, Hunnicutts and Klingers stum- bled in late and already llmashed? They scampered about, rearranging Chairs and stepping into popcorn sacks and wax cups, in search of that ever-elusive ttgood seat. One com- plained to the back of an ill-placed head. Another yelled, tlHey cowboy, take-yer-hat-off, Some couples left. Every commercial break but one, raffle tickets were drawn and door prizes were awarded. MiAtStH T-shirts, liters of Coke and packages of Cherry Mashes tof coursel were ex- changed for winning tickets. Until the show continued, CAB members scanned the quiz dittos for possible winners. Finally, when quizzes were re- ceived and graded, three tied winners were determined. Ac- cording to Brynes, Rob Berri, Susan Handley, and Deanna Tate answered 23 out of the 24 questions correctly. All three missed the same question: ttWhat were the names of Trapper Johnls daughters? In fact, no one knew they were Cathy and Becky.

';Vh?f , man is made of spirit. A man is made of flesh. Which of these two statements is true? That is the question that plagued John Merrick for most of his twenty-four years of life. Merrick, better known as the Elephant Man, was a very special human being. He was the victim of an odd genetic disorder which caused huge, ugly, cauliflower-like growths of tissue to grow on his body wherever there were affected bones be- neath the skin. A large growth on his skull gave him the likeness of an elephant, hence the more common name by which he was known. Despite his appearance, Merrick man- aged to rise above the cruelty of human nature, and with the help of friend and doctor Frederick Treves, rose from a freak in a side show and earned the re spect of many prominent figures of Vic- torian England. Merrickls story is both heartwarming and tragic. It allows us to see both sides of humanity-the cruel, as well as the kind. The production of the play by the Missouri Western Theatre Department was unique in many ways. Sophomore Todd Lambrecht from St. Joseph, as Merrick, wore no extra makeup to illustrate the disease. The medical problem was apparent only through Lambrechtls actions and the reactions of the cast. This allowed the audience to see Merrick as he saw him- self-an ordinary human being. Also, the audience was seated on the stage, nearly surrounding the acting area in a three-quarters round arrangement. The Elephant Man i Spirit Chib Gratz,' costume designer, com- mented, iiThis put the actors in more of a one-On-one basis with the audience, providing a better atmosphere for both actors and audience? The play was very symbolic in nature. Special lighting and other effects gave the audience the illusion of watching a nightmare that Dr. Treves, played by freshman Mike Burg from Rockport, Mo., experienced. The play extended through the last ten years of Merrickis life. In those ten years Merrick was striving to, in the words of director Larry Dobbins, liintegrate the conflicting selves of his person into a unified whole. This raised the question: Is man made of spirit or flesh? raised the question. . . or Flesh? Merrick seemed to find the answer in church. For several years, Merrick worked on building a small-scale model of St. Phil- lip,s Cathedral. The model symbolized Merrickls own body. It was an imperfect imitation of the real churchjust as his body was an imper- fect imitation of a real body. But even the real church was just a shell housing the spirit of God and, pre- sumably, Godis spirit was just as present in an old, decrepit church as in the most rich, elaborate church or for that matter the smallest model of a church. So, too, Merrick could believe that his own spirit was as rich as a spirit in a physically perfect body. An actual model of the cathedral was pieced together during the play using the major pieces which had already been built. We worked all through spring break to finish everything,n said Gratz. As to the answer to the question pre- sented by the play, only those who saw the production can decide. The play was near capacity for each performance.

Looney as president of Missouri Western State College. Murphy is the first woman to be selected president of a four-year college in Missouri. She has served as president of Lyndon State College in Lyndonville, Vt. for the past six years. ttHer entire adult life has been dedi- cated to college excellencef stated Stan- ley Dale, president of the board. IIShe took a college in Vermont and turned it into one of the best in the state. The community felt that it could not be done, but she did it. The community once held Lyndon State in low esteem, but now it is a highly esteemed college? Selected from a field of 120 candidates, Murphyts fund-raising abilities were in- strumental in the boards decision to appoint her as president. At Western, Murphy will be facing a lack-of-funds problem similar to that which she was up against at Lyndon State College. 11We will have to look for other sources besides the state? Murphy said. IIAIternative sources of funding are im- portant and should be developed. One of Murphyis major goals is to bring the college closer together for the benefit of the faculty and the students. MurphyIs main reason for accepting the position at MWSC was because she was impressed with the suppOrt and en- thusiasm of the community. uI think I am privileged to come to a college that was started with the support of many people in the communityf Murphy commented. ItOne of the reasons I came here was due to the fact that this college was de- veloped because the community wanted it. In 1961, Murphy began her teaching career as a high school English teacher and in 1963 moved up to higher educa- tion where she has served as instructor at four institutions. Murphy received her Bachelorts de- gree from the University of Mas- sachusetts in 1958. In 1967, she earned her Masters degree in Education Admin- istration at Boston University and her Doctorateis degree in higher education at the University of Massachusetts in 1974. In her 24 years of teaching Murphy received numerous honors including the National John Guenther Teaching Award in 1961 and the Distinguished Profes- sional Service Alumni Award in 1979. She was also listed in the Whois Who in the World of Women and the Whois Who in the World of American Women. Murphy has also served on the Board of Directors of the American Association of State Colleges and Universities and the American Council on Education.

Nunez the new Dean of Liberal Arts and Sciences on February 24, 1983. He was chosen from a field of nearly 165 applicantions received by May, 1982. Donlt get the idea the Board of Regents was the only test he had to pass, though. The selection process leading to his appointment in- cluded interviews with Provost Nelson, the Deans Council, the Chairpersons and faculty of the Divisions of Liberal Arts and Sciences and the Dean Search Com- mittee whose members consisted of Dr. Gerald Zweerink, Chemistry; Dr. Richard Crumley, Biology; Dr. Michael Heim, Speech, Theater, and Humanties; Dr. Tommie Ragland, Social Sciences and Jane Nelson, Art. Dr. Nunez will assume his duties on July 1. He is currently serving as the chairperson of the Department of Biol- ogy at the University of Detroit. He has served in that position since 1973. Prior to this, he earned an undergraduate de- gree in science from the Louisiana State 68fNeW Dean University and a Masters of science as well as a Doctorate in philosophy from North Texas State University. Dr. Nunez has authored, and co-au- thored, approximately 20 research arti- cles and received the National Science Foundation Professorls Science Faculty Development Award for 1979, 1980 and 1981. He has also received more than $140,000 in research grants. Providing a ,balanced education for college students is the main emphasis of his division; according to Dr. Nunez. llLiberal Arts and Sciences should help develop a career goal, but really the stu- dent should also develop himself for his future,n Nunez said. nThe devolopment of Liberal Arts and Sciences is critical, not only in terms of career goals, but also it may supply the major options of a career? Dr. Nunez said there are a couple of problems that MWSC needs to work on. He feels that Missouri Westernls reputaa tion, especially in the state of Missouri, needs to be Changed 5'1 l'u'iw'miTl'vUUG3-4711 ? t itOnce the reputation in nurtured, the college community will grow? he stated. The second problem is faculty over- load. ilThe heavy tenure load produces some problems in the facultyis ability to re- search and provide scholarship? he added. Provost Nelson stated that uDr. Nunez is well qualified for the position of Dean of Liberal Arts and Sciences.

The Question of Defense resident Reagan is putting Americais scientists to the task of developing a futuristic weapon system that could defend against any Soviet missile attack. The President has four objectives to be met through this elaborate defense system: 0 A shift from massive retaliation to reliance on defensive weapons to deter Russian attacks. 2y Restore the abandoned anti-ballis- tic-missile-defense weapons as part of the plan. 30 Through the hope of and end to the nuclear arms race, reverse the oppostion of increased defense spending. 4y Establish a high moral position with the nuclear freeze movement struggle. Reaganis plan is to ensure the capabil- ity of the US. to intercept and destroy any missile before reaching our country. Much criticism has been voiced in government circles about the effective- ness and staggering cost of the project. Dr. J. E. Ripple, of the MWSC Social Science Department, viewed these costs as reasonable over a 20-year period. He commented, ilTen percent of the current $250 billion military budget now spent on defense was money well spent? Moscow cried foul concerning the proposal, stating it was a violation of the U.S.-Soviet treaty. White House officials insist the poten- tial problems related to the proposal are exaggerated. They also report that im- plementation of the weapon before the year 2000 isnlt conceivable. This would 70lLaser Weapon give Moscow ample opportunity to de- velop such a system themselves if they so desire. As envisioned, the fleet would consist of space battle stations equipped with laser or particle-beam weapons. The numbers could range from as low as 24 to as high as 100 of such stations. They must also be capable of aiming the beam as well as locating targets and distinguish- ing the difference between actual mis- siles and dummies. One critic estimated that a system suf- ficient to offer the protection suggested by this proposal would run as much as $500 billion! Dr. Ripple stated that our future lies in the development of this type of de- fense and spending on laser research is justified. He proposed cutbacks on nuclear aircraft carriers of $15 billion, and eliminating entirely the B-1 bomber at a savings of $100 billion. By making these appropriate cuts, laser research funding could be possible without in- creasing spending. in all comes down to a matter of prioritiesfl A Pentagon source looked at the pro- gram as frightening. The accuracy and performance required would be beyond anything attempted thus far. Many experts contend that a program to protect limited targets, such as missile silos, is actually attainable. The Depart- ment of Defense is currently spending $519 million annually on research and development of conventional ballistic- missile-defense research. Funds are scheduled to be increased to $1.6 billion by 1985. By early next year, the Army hopes to conduct a test-firing of a new weapon designed to intercept and destroy warheads at an altitude of 60 miles. Ac- cording to the joint chiefs, a system de- veloped around this weapon could be in operation by the mid-1990ls. This new interceptor is armed with a non-nuclear warhead and should over- come the shortcomings that led to the Safeguard ABM system abandonment in 1976. A ground-based ABM is seen as an urgent need by the joint chiefs to protect the vulnerability of the Minuteman mis- sile system. The Presidents system, rather than a retaliation approach, could be of signifi- cance in the controversial areas. No affect on U.S.-Soviet relations was seen by Dr. Ripple; he referred to the apparent controversy as lttheatre? Both a defense and retaliatory program are essential according to him, but he is favor of shifting more spending to laser re- search and less on retaliatory weapons. After a decade of cold storage, the ABM should be restored to a position of consideration. Dr. Ripple is a believer that particle ray and laser technology represent the future, and we should spend on the fu- ture, but not with a limaginot mental- ityethe past is obsolete.

Try, try again! lecting a Student Government E Association president for 1983-84 proved to be no simple matter last spring. It followed a record voter turnout dur- ing the scheduled election followed by a successful protest by the losers who became the winners in the second elec- tion. Nine hundred eighty-five students had cast their ballots April 13 and 14. According to Craig Gilley, Jackie Ken- nedy, president of the SGA, called him the night of April 14 to tell him he had won the election. The vote count was 489 for Gilley and Mark Bensing and 472 for Jerry Enyeart and Rick Gove. Gilley, a junior political science major, attributed the large voter turnout to voter awareness. flIf you make the voters aware of the issues, they,ll vote, he said. Even though it was the largest turnout in the history of the college, 985 students seems like a small amount considering there were 4063 students enrolled. llltls a problem everywheref Dean of Students Forrest Hoff said, speaking of low voter turnout on campuses. tiMost students just donlt care. They arenlt in- volved in the SGA? Following their narrow loss, Enyeart and Gove submitted a letter of grievances. The letter stated that the election was bogus due to the fact that it did not run in compliance with the guidelines spelled out in the Student Government Association constitution. Student Deanna Moore takes time out to vote loppositd for SGA president and vice president.4 Photo by J. Pryor Enyeart and Gove felt that Article VII of the constitution, which deals with the Election Commission, was violated. The sections of this article states that the commission is to receive the qualifying petitions, determine eligibility of candi- dates and be responsible for and in charge of all elections sponsored in any branch of the SGA. They shall also an- nounce elections and the details of them, make up proper ballots, count the ballots, tally the results, announce the results and see that all rules and regulations are followed. ProjectsiCampus Organizations Direc- tor Mike Mansil was the chairman of this commission and was to appoint at least three members of the student association to serve on the commission. In their letter Enyeart and Gove stated, 5The said ProjectstCampus Organizations Director had little if anything to do with the said election? Mansil acknowledged the protest and said that a hearing would be held as soon as possible. Mansil claimed that Kennedy never explained his job to him and that he was not aware that his duties were written into the constitution. Enyeart and Gove also charged Gilley with violating by-law 121875G which says that campaign literature shall not be placed within 10 feet of any polling table or box unless placed there by the Project Director. Enyeart said that campaign literature, urging students to vote for Gilley and Bensing plus several senators, was being handed out within the prescribed area. Gilley filed counter Charges against Enyeart and Gove. Gilley said that every- thing in their letter could apply to Enyeart too. The trial went directly to the SGA Judicial Board because the Elections Commission disqualified itself from heat- ing the case. ilThe SGA court is just like the Supreme Court in that it interprets the constitu- tion, Hoff said. New presidential and senate elections were ordered by the SGA Judicial Board following hearings on the charges. Enyeart and Gove wrote, 11We brought these violations before the Election Com- mission due to the closeness of the elec- tion and because we felt that had these rules not been violated the election would have been in our favor? Enyeart and Gove were elected Stu- dent Government Association President and Vice President for the 1983-84 term during the second election held May 1 1 and 1 2. The Enyearthove block defeated Gilley and Bensing for the presidential seat by a margin of 1 1 1 votes. The EnyearVGove block captured 465 of the 819 total votes cast. The total turnout for the ordered election fell below the record turn out of 985 voters in the first election. Enyeart said that in light of the recent election controversy, the first goal he plans to pursue is to clarify the election procedures. Enyeart also said that he plans to open lines of communication between the stu- dents and the administration as well as between the students and the SGA. He said that he is looking forward to working with Dr.Janet Murphy, MWSC president. 51 want the students to have a voice that will be heardf Enyeart said.

Last years graduates totaled 490 while this year there were 51 1. Along with the increased number of graduates the college had more students graduating with one of the following de- grees: Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Sci- ence, Bachelor of Science in Business Adminisration and Bachelor of Science in Education. The areas which were lower this year from last year were the Associate of Sci- ence, Bachelor of Science in Technology and Social Work Degree. The number of students receiving a degree in one of the Certificate Programs was equal both years. Graduating 56 students made manage- ment the most popular degree with Elementary Education a close second graduating 40 students and CriminalJus- tice had 26 students receive degrees in third. The most surprising change over the past two years was the drop in graduates with a Bachelor of Science in Technol- ogy.The departments 14 graduates was not only the lowest numberrcampus wide this year but it was also down from their 18 from last year. Several areas which had no students recieving degrees last year had graduates this year. They were chemistry, Englisw literature, natural science, theatre, sociology, business skills and chemistry in education and secretarial certificate. As has become tradition the students receiving these degrees were honored with a breakkfast banquet. On May 24, 1983, the Alumni Association sponsored the 14th annual Graduation Breakfast Banquet. The central theme of the breakfast according to Sideny I. Naidorf, alumni association president, was uYou,ve come a long way . . . Dr. Lonney.n This theme led many of the graduates to wonder whose breakfast it really was-theirls or Looneyls. While it was true that Dr. Looney was ending a 16 year run as the president of the college many students felt that a tribute to him would have been more appropriate at a separate banquet. This was supposed to be our time, stated one graduate. The main speaker at this event was the retired city editor of the St. Joseph News- Press, Harold Slater. Slater thanked two organizations for the making the present Missouri Western State College the place that it is. The first organization was the 1915 St. Joseph School Board for starting one of the few two year colleges in the United States. The old St. Joseph Junior College was located at 10th and Edmond, where it sat until it was moved to the location where it now stands and grows. The other group of individuals that Slater commended was the Board of Re- gents and the T rustees for appointing Looney to be the president of the college. According to Slater, Looney and the College wrote their histories together and they cannot be separated. The final message that Slater gave to the graduates was that all these years at Missouri Western have been focused on learning the art of public relation, not in the textbook but in communication. Slater encourage the graduates to in- crease their art of public relation, no matter what their job is-for themselves and the community.

Looney met his final grad- uation as president of Missouri Western State College on Tues- day, May 24th. Looney presented the Commence- ment Address in which he spoke on the highlights of Missouri Westernls history and heritage. He said that in 1915, the St. Joseph Junior College was establaished to make it the eighth institution of its kind in the United States. At that time there were eight faculty members teaching 11 sub- jects. By the late 5015 there was talk of a need for a four-year college in St. Joseph, but it was not until 1965 when Housebill 210 was passed and authorized, that a senior college in St. Joseph became a reality. In September 1969, 2,000 students were enrolled in Missouri Western State College with a staff of 1 16 to make it a very successful first year. Today MWSC has an annual enrollment of about 4,000 students from the area and around the country with a faculty of 160. In his final address Looney also spoke on the importance of higher education in todays world. With the ever changing technological advancements in the coun- try Looney believes that every student will need improved math and science literacy to keep up with these changes. 1Without change, no learning can take place? said Looney. He also feels that the college graduate is lithe raw material that this country can rely 0an Near the end of his address Looney advised the graduates to challenge them- selves and to keep their minds fresh by constantly learning. 1iStrive to be a suca cess in everything you pursuef stated Looney. Looney ended the address with a quote from the late J. Paul Getty on his idea of success, iiRise early, work late, strike oil? The graduation ceremony began with the Processional, the uMarch Pontilicale by Gounod, performed by the Missouri Western State College Symphonic Winds.

Looney said about his decision to resign at the end of the 1982-83 school year as president of the college. After 33 years in education he is ready to move on to a different career held. Looney is a firm believer in the top administrative post changing hands ap- proximately every 10 years. He feels that the college could tend to become stag- nant otherwise. nThe college needs someone with a new approach and new ideas? Looney continued. His mouth turned up slightly at the edges as he began recollecting memories of his time as president. iiMoving from probation to the full accredidation of a senior college was our first objective? he said with a tone of satisfaction. In 1966 the junior college was placed on three years probation upon public notice. itWe worked around the clock to get acceptance from the North Central As- sociationfl , Once offprobation, the plan of moving from the junior college site to the new campus began. This was a move that Looney had wanted to make at his previ ous presidential post. While at Mahoning Community College, Looney had attemp- ted to organize a move only to see his efforts halted by a voter rejection of a bond proposal. However, this was not a problem here because the people of St. Joseph had already accepted a $6,055,000 bond. By 1969, those Citizens who had not been in favor of building a new campus were quickly Changing their minds. This Change in attitude was due largely to the big increase in construction permits. The number of permits issued in 1969 was more than 12 times the number issued the previous year. The people of St. Joseph were quick to accept Looney as an adopted son of their city. In 1971 the Nathan Hale Soc- iety named him uSt. Joseph Citizen of the Year? , One of the big reasons for his good relationship With the city was his aggres- sive battle with the state legislature over full fourayear status. Looney began his battle Feb. 3, 1971 When, appearing before the senate Higher Education Committee, he argued that the people of St. Joseph should not be denied something that they had worked so hard to achieve. If there were any reason for the Gen- eral Assembly to oppose four-year state college status for MWSC, it was the finan- cial burden it would pose for the state. itThe reason we finally won was be- cause the people were vocal in their support? he suggested. This battle, however, did not end with the General Assembly passing the four- year state college bill. 1The state in all its infinite wisdom left it up to the curators 0f the University of Missouri to decide whether or not we were ready to start a fourayear program? Looney explained. 1180 even though the state had passed the bill granting us four-year status, we had to get our program ac cepted by the University of Missouri curatorsfi Before Looney could even consider going before the curators, he and his staff Dressed in conehead attire, Dan Cook chats Uerwith basketball enthusiast Dr. Looney in 1981.9Phot0 by C.

Although attaining four year status shifted much of the financial responsibil- ity for the first two years as well as the final two years to the state, there was still a large amount of support coming from the community through a 30-cent levy on real estate property. Looney took this issue before the state legislature and won in 1975. Governor Christopher Bond visited the campus in May to sign the bill granting fullastate funding for Missouri Western and Mis- souri Southern State College in Joplin. In recent years, but especially since 1980, the college has been affected by deep cuts in state and federal education budgets. When the Bond Administration placed a 10 percent freeze on the funds to state colleges and universities, Looney hesit- antly raised student fees $50. ilOver the years we have sought to keep fees down, but it was necessary to implement a hike after the freezing of funds? a dejected Looney explained. Probably the biggest financial burden on the college is maintenance of the dormitories and college center. Because no state funds are available for these facilities, the only means of support is to either raise prices or hold fund-raising events. In 1981 when a St. Louis fireworks firm was looking for a place to hold a display in St. Joseph, Looney offered the hill behind Spratt Stadium. uIt was a com- bined effortawe supplied the space and the First National Bank supplied the money. Always looking to take a good idea and make it better, Looney suggested the college take advantage of the display being on campus and rent some of the dorm rooms at $150 each for parties. Because of events like this Looney has been able to boost the Auxiliary Fund enough to make repairs on the College Center. Funding is needed not only to make repairs, but also to pay off the bonds. nIf there isnlt enough money in the Auxiliary Fund to pay the Revenue Bonds, fees would have to be raised,', he said. Much attention as to the safety of the college has been raised since the presi- dentis home was destroyed by fire last New Years Eve. llThe fire caused me to examine a lot of things on campus. This is not to say, however, that the college hadnit already made safety provisions? Nevertheless, the college has since spent a lot of time reviewing and revising safety standards. 118$ easy to get a bit complacent before something like a tire? he offered. More often than not, finances were of great concern throughout Looneyls term as president. Having been successful in each of his major battles, age and other interests convinced him last summer to announce his resignation. 11 realized that being 55, if I was going to get into a new career field, it had to be now?

We agreed that we had to raise student fees. A $25 one-time surcharge fee for the spring semester was suggested and ap- proved to compensate the loss. George Richmond, Vice president for college development, feels that attracting private dollars to assist in college de- velopment is his major task. Aside from his duties in bringing about development and progress to the college, llWe hopefully bring in private donations to help in our development? Richmond is also the executive director of the foundation, executive director of the alumni association and the associate dean of the Northwest Missouri State University graduate center. . Richmond serves as a liaison betwee NWMSU and MWSC, keeping each other informed about changes at the other school. As the executive director of the alumni association, ltI try to keep the alumni active in our college? The job of the Vice president of student affairs is to aid and direct the college on the interests of the students. Dr. Nolan Morrison coordinates the services of the student health service, placement and off campus services, dean of students, traffic and security, counsel- ing and testing, admissions and records, and other special programs. liI direct the appointment and evalua- tion of all Student Affairs personnel. I also plan and coordinate the objectives and activities that are consistent with institu- tional goals? commented Morrison. Although the high unemployment rate has hindered Morrison,s job in placing students in the work force, he said that the computer science and data proces- sing majors were still in great demand. The vice presidents and the provost have found that the college has had to re-examine the programs and decide which program is necessary and then make the cuts.

Honoring Fred Eder Sept. 10 were cola lege administrators, members of the Board of Regents and the Board of Trus- tees, President M. 0. Looney, Mayor David Polsky, Missouri Lieutenant Gova enor Kenneth Rothman and a group of campaigning politicians all met at the central entrance of the Student Services7 Classroom building for the event. The occasion was the SS7C dedication ceremony. Finally, after six years of Vir- tual anonymity, the building was to be formally named the Frederick Eder Stu- dent Services7Classroom Building. The idea to name the building after Eder was suggested toPresident Looney and the College Governance Advisory Council by the Student Government As- sociation. Looney favored the idea, calling Eder 11a man Who has worked diligently for the development of Missouri Western State College and has served long and well as both a Trustee and Regent of the college. In April 1982, after Looney brought the idea before the Board of Regents, the dedication was approved. As key speaker at the dedication, Lt. Gov. Rothman spoke of his appreciation for Ederls persistence in helping the col- lege illiterally grow out of the grasses and mud 0f Missourifl Eder accepted the honor, calling it tone of the nicest things that ever hap- pened to him. To explain why he has beenmsold on a college educationil and Why he has struggled to make available a good college education, Eder stated simply but firmly, 11because I do not have one myself and I know by experience that it has hurt? Ederis role in the colleges growth is particularly apparent in his history as having served as a member and officer of both the Board of Regents and the Board of Trustees. Eder was first ap- pointed to the Board of Regents in 1975 by Gov. Bond, and then re-appointed two years later by Gov. Teasdale for a term expiring in 1982. While acting as a regent these seven years, Eder was also elected to serve as president twice and as vice president once. In 1972, Eder was elected to the Board of Trustees and then re-elected in 1978 for another six-year term. As a trustee, Eder also served as president and vice president.

And as with the gods of Olympus, the Regents too are shrouded in myth. When reminded of the Board of Re- gents, the average college student has subconscious images of an elite club Whose members are ever-present, but never seen. Others see the Board as a sort of eye in the academic hurricane-a bOdy of five or six men and women cho sen by the governor to stand as a pillar of nonpartison sanity in the midst of a swirling confusion of administrators, pro- fessors, and students. In reality, the Board is a group of five people representing a cross-section of the educated community. Ranging from legislator to housewife, this yearis mem- bers are Stanley Dale, president; Kristen Findley, vice president; Fred Eder; Timothy Kelley; and Peter OiDonnell. One night a month and once for November and December combined, the Board gathers in the Presidentis Private Dining Room of the ?Zollege Center to discuss and decide on what to do with the colleges money. With the Board members, President Looney and his secretary arranged around a table and an audience of news media persons, college staff members, concerned students and two Board Attor- neys sitting in rows, Dale calls the meet- ing to order. After routinely accepting the Financial Report that the Vice President of Ad- ministrative Affairs, Ken Hawk, holds up for their unanimous approval, the Board entertains bid proposals. This year, the Board approved the puchase of a variety of items, including a dump truck, a Universal Testing Machine, 2 Gas Chromatography System, a surveying instrument, 288 pairs of cur- tains for the dorms, and two bassoons. The Board of Regents and Dr. Looney Oxbow? pose for a picture-Photo by M. Fankhauser Board of Regentst87 But dont be mislead by what seems a long list of purchases and bid approvals. The Board scrutinizes each financial move. During a special meeting Sept. 30, the Board considered bids to rebuild the presidents house, which was destroyed by fire last New Years Eve. However, bids were $65,000 higher than available funds. The Board chose to reject the project to have the house re- built. The $400,000 received from the insurance settlement was placed in a special account, the interest from which to be used as an off-cainpus housing allowance for the new presidentaat least until the rebuilding project is reconsi- dered. Of course, the Board does more that sift through bid proposals. For instance, it was the Board of Re- gents to whom President Looney spoke when he declined an extension to his contract. The Regents are also responsi- ble for hiring his replacement. During their Dec. 2 meeting, the Search Commit- tee for the new president submitted a list of five possible candidates from which the Regents would choose one. The Board was confronted with another regrettable task this yearathe surcharge. When the state of Missouri cut back on its appropriations no higher education, the administration recom- mended that the college institute a sur- charge to make up for the losse$25 for full-time Missouri residents and $50 for full-time, out-of-state students. Finding the proposition acceptable, the Board passed it ltunamiously and with regret? Yet while the state takes away with one hand, it entreats with the other. Mis- souri officials asked state colleges and universities this year to loan the state a total of $5 million. As requested, the Board voted to take $330,000 from the colleges cash reserves and loan it to the state of Missouri. Still in the vein of obligation or generosity, the Board approved a deci- sion to donate 15-20 acres of college land for the Army National Guard to build an armory. The Board also used its authority to make less controversial proclamations. When approached with idea in Sep- tember, the Regents voted unanimously to proclaim the week of Oct. 2 through 9 llHigher Education WeekiL-a gesture further emphasizing their support of higher education. The Regents also approved a resolu- tion establishing the MWSC Board of Regents Award. The award will be given annually to those persons who, according to the Board, have contributed support and concern for the college and sur- rounding community.

According to the program, college personnel Who give six months notice of their retirement Will receive a financial bonus. The program was designed to encourage retiring personnel to contact the administration much in advance in order to facilitate the budget planning process. Finally, after an hour or more of mo- tions, seconds and voice votes, Dale asks if there is any further business. There being none, the meeting is adjourned.

It plays an important part in the government of the school. According to Dr. Phil Mullins, president of the senate, uWe are one of the biggest groups of people on the campus other than the students. For them, there is the Student Government Association. Then we have the Supportive Staff Association and the Professional Administration Association? The senate is made up of 13 members from the various divisions. The function of the senate is to represent its consti- tuency and come to decisions by par- liamentary procedures. The senate is composed of 12 standing committees manned by faculty members across cam- pus. These are Academic Regulations and Standards, Curriculum, Faculty Evalua- tion, Grievance, Library, Professional Leave, Promotion, Salary and Fringe Be- nefits, Scholarship, Tenure, Ad Hoc Con- stitutional Review and Institutional Cheating. The senate also had discussions con- cerning formation of a Health and Safety 92tFaculty Senate Committee. According to Margeret Sulli- van, R.N., director of Health Services, liThis committeewill reduce the risk of accidents, and I think the management has a right to provide such protection for the students as well as the faculty and staff? Some of the other issues discussed by the senate this year are revision and ima plementation of the new faculty constitu- tion, promotion and tenure guidelines, faculty leave and salaries, a perennial topic. It has also discussed student evaluation of faculty. According to Mullins, llThe teachers sometimes wonder if the evalu- ations are fair for each and every departa mentfl Jill Miller, faculty senate representative from Career programs, said that she thought the evaluations were important and was pleased to see a new form adopted. ilOn this new form there is one question on it and room to make extra comments on the bottom and the back. With the evaluations I think it will enable us to teach better and to know what we are doing right? The senate has also been part of the search committee for the new president and the new dean of liberal arts and sciences. The members of the Faculty Senate are Dr. Donald Mahaffy, Gary Cagle, Carl Butcher, Jill Miller, Dr. Patrick McMurry, Susan Hinrichs, Dr. Lee Evinger, Dr. John Rushin, Dr. William Eichkhorst, Kenneth Rosenauer, Dr. Patrick McLear and Dr. Phil Mullins.

The Deans also are members of this organiza- tion. Some of the topics discussed at the CGAC meetings were policy revision of the student evaluation of the instructor, emergency leave, sick leave, and jury duty. The Faculty Senate asked the president of the college to immediately appoint an institutional committee to Clearly define the criteria which will determine if a classroom cheating incident is to be handled in a judiciary manner or an academic manner. Dr. Phil Mullins, president of the Fac- ulty Senate, requested the President to lform a blue ribbon committee to focus on the development of a responsible, concrete plan for using our computing potential in the registration process? Also the procedure was defined for the review of majors which exceeds the number of credits allowed by the cur- riculum document. It was also proposed that the CGAC become a voting body. This proposal did not attempt to change the role of the CGAC as an advisory body; however, When a proposal is forwarded to the president with the CGAC comments, a record of the vote of the Council would assist the president in better understand- ing the mood of the Council. The Council members agreed to con- tinue in their current role as an advisory group. The item was withdrawn.

In the last quarter the Western crowd, Which set a record by being the biggest crowd for an away game, was stunned by Bearcat Quarterback Todd Murphy as he hit his receiver Bryan Shaw with a pic- ture-perfect 61-yard bomb to give his team their first lead of the day.

The tension could be felt throughout the stadium as Rod Northway caught passes from Holder twice on fourth down and 10 yards to go, putting the Griffs 0n the Bearcat 9-yard line with less than 30 seconds remaining. Holder dropped back into the pocket and found Dave Albright all alone in the left corner of the end zone to give the Griffs a miracle finish.

A better script for 1983 may be almost impossible to write, but who knows? By Eric Snider prizrriww sir: . Maryville Gamel97 t was obvious that another Homecoming game was in pro- gress at Spratt Stadium. High school bands could be spot- ted throughout the stadium, and football fans from the area had packed the stadium once again. Queen Debbie Ale- xander and her court had taken their seats behind the Griffon bench right on the gridironis 50-yard line. At halftime the crowd showed more life than when the hitting was taking place. A 14-3 Emporia State lead may have had something to do with this, and the fact that the two Emporia State touchdowns were created by Griffon mistakes. . Things got off to a good start with Eric Bruder kicking his longest field goal of the year, a 44-yarder. On the ensuing kickoff the Missouri Western special team unit made its first critical mistake of the afternoon. Hornet return man Bernie Gardenhire took the ball on his 11-yard line and maneuvered his way downtield to give his team a four-point lead. The Griffon offense faltered on its next possession and was forced to punt. A bad snap provided Emporia State With great field position deep in Western country. The Emporia State offense needed only three plays to punch the ball over the Western goal line. Quarterback Pat Cisper hit his split-end Monty Smith in the endzone for a 14-yard gain with just over a half minute to play in the half, and his team went into the locker room with a larger lead. The Western defense played well in the first half, but Em- poria State was only 15 minutes away from finding what several teams already knew about the Griffon defense. The Hornets took the opening'kickoff and drove from their own 1 5-yard line to the Western 42in three plays. The defense had seen enough, so they forced Gardenhire to fumble, and Doug Allen gladly pounced on the ball for the Griffs. The offense sputtered on their opening possession, so head . coach Rob Hicklin replaced starting quarterback Joe Holder with senior TerryMoore on their next possession. I It was Jerry Partridgeis turn to step into the spotlight with an interception. Moore had the' favor returned when he was intercepted in the end zone after guiding the team deep into Hornet territory. Emporia State was forced to punt as the Griffs defense remained tough. Senior Dan Jacks led the attack on the next Griffon drive as he weaved his way down field, spun away from one tackler and then spun away from a second for a 32-yard gain to the Hornet 16. The crowd and Griffon bench roared to life as this was the turning point. Three plays later Charlie Parrish ambled over from a yard out, pulling the team within five at 14-9. Bruderis extra point was missed. , The Griffs began their second scoring drive after the defense held. as the unit began to take control. The five-plaV scoring drive began on the Emporia State 47-yard line.

Doug Allen continued the Western momentum as he inter- cepted 21 Pat Cisper pass with less than five minutes to play to help put the game on ice. Moore took it in from the one to score the last points of the day. The Homecoming thriller was Westernis fourth Victory of the year. Danny Jacks, who missed the first part of the season with a knee injury, returned in full force as he rolled up a total of 167 yards. Forty of those yards came through the air, and the other 117 were gained on 17 carries. For his performance, Jacks was named Central States Intercollegate Conference offensive player of the week. Thus, the Griffons triumphed 22-14 at the end of another Homecoming afternoon. .

This one was FLUCTUATED F OOTBALL he 1982 Missouri Western football program could be termed as flat, yet hilly at the same time. One week the squad would look as if they were about to pull their act together and then plummet straight down the next week by practically de- feating themselves with fumbles and in- terceptions. The 1982 campaign was kicked off with a nightmare in Atchison, Kansas. The much-improved Benedictine squad shocked the Griffs with a 30-10 setback. The efforts by running back Chuck Jones, who rushed for 128 yards on 16 carries, and linebacker Robert Newhart, who led the defensive unit with 13 tackles, just wasnit enough. The inept offense allowed punter Rod Northway to boot five kicks for a 48.0 yard average in his first varsity game. The squad got back on track the next week in Maryville for Part II of the rivalry. This one was a pressure cooker going down to the wire. Quarterback Joe Hol- der led the team with his running and throwing to help avert disaster for the second straight week. Trailing 14-10 with just over 20 seconds remaining, Holder dropped back in the pocket and found Dave Albright in the left corner of the end zone for the touchdown causing pandemonium. This miracle win allowed the coaching staff and players breathing room to prepare for the home opener against Evangel. Very little preparation was necessary this week as the Griffs romped over Evangel with a 35-7 victory. After falling behind 7-0, Joe Holder and company promptly pounded 35 points across the goal line within the next 18 minutes. The 35-point explosion was enough for the day as the Griffon defense, led by linebacker Tony Franklin, continued to tick like a fine Clock. Holder rushed for three touchdowns and passed to wide receiver Rod Northway for the other two touchdowns. Holder accounted for 189 of the offenses 400 yards, and Northway gathered in 103 yards through the air. Miracle finishes can happen for the other guys too, and the next outing was Fort Hays Stateis turn. Holder led the offense 69 yards to take the lead at 13-12 early in the fourth quarter. The drive was capped by Holderis three-yard run. The defense held the Tigers at bay on their next four pos- sessions, but with 2:07 remaining the Griffon offensive unit fumbled. Two minutes and four seconds later and after 3 passes the Tigers stood on the Griffon 15 yard line. Kicker Mike Ellsworth trot- ted onto the field as everyone watched with anticipation.

Chuck Jones had another outstanding game rushing for 129 yards on 2 1 carries. Tony Franklin continued his. excellent play with 13 tackles, a blocked field goal attempt, a fumble recovery in the end zone for Westernis first score, and a quar- terback sack. Against Wayne State, defense con- tinued to be the name of the Griffon game. . . but so did turnovers. The game should have been a blowout, 450 yards were tallied on the day compared to Wayne Stateis puny 184. Its hard to score a bundle of points when you give the other team the ball on turnovers, 7 to be exact-5 fumbles and two interceptions. Despite the turnovers the Griffs did squeak out a 17-0 victory. Chuck Jones continued to blast through opposing de- fenses as he rushed for 121 yards on 22 carries. Quarterback Terry Moore made his first start of the year and responded with 238 yards passing. The next week against Kearney State was one best forgotten as the Griffons continued to have problems Winning in Kearney, Nebraska. Just making the score respectable would have been enough on this dismal weekend as the Griffons were pounded into submission 31-6. Homecoming weekend was perfect for Homecoming activities and football, but the Griffon squad must have still been shell-shocked from last weeks shellack- ing. In the first half, all they could muster was Eric Bruderis 44 yard field goal. In the second half the Griffs strapped on the helmets and roared back to squash the Emporia State Hornets. A 22-14 victory was earned as Dan Jacks led the way with 1 17 yards on 17 carries and Terry Moore came off the bench to lead the team to their three touchdowns. Missouri Southern was in town on Hal- loween weekend and received several treats from the very generous Missouri Western football team. Terry Moore and Joe Holder dressed up as quarterbacks and handed out six interceptions. Holder did manage two touchdown passes. The Lions gladly accepted the goodies and headed back home with a 22-18 Win. Tony Franklin wasnit giving anything away as he made 21 tackles along with Robert Newhart who made 18. The team travled to Topeka a week later to tie a record and break one in 102E00tball F OOTBALL route to a 37-21 victory over Washburn. Freshman Eric Bruder kicked 3 field goals to tie a school record. The defense shat- tered a record by allowing Washburn a negative 52 yards in rushing. The football season ended on a down note as they dropped a 28-20 decision to the nationally ranked Pittsburg State Gorillas. Western came back in the sec- ond half to outscore the Gorillas 13-8, but a pass interception at the Pittsburg State 40 yard line with one minute re- maining killed the drive. Holder passed for 251 yards and two scores but the ground game was held to a negative 32 yards. Tony Franklin was everywhere again with 1 1 tackles, a quarterback sack, an interception, a blocked extra point attempt, and another blocked field goal attempt. The Western defense obliterated the previous mark of allowing only 1260 yards set in 1976 by giving up a mere 842 yards rushing in ten games. The offense topped 1981's output of 336.0 yards a game with a 350.0 yard average on the way to a mediocre 5-5 record in 1982. A few more wins may be available next year if the Parkay is left out of the game plan.

As to everything there is the exception to the rule, in this case three of them. Tom Early and Robert Newhart, senior linebackers, and Alan Keller, a junior offensive guard, were among 22 young men named to the 1982 NAIA Division I Football Academic All-American team. The 22 players selected must hold a 3.20 GPA or better. Eight coaches on the Football Rateris Committee determine the players ability at his position. Offen- sive and defensive players do not have an advantage over the other as they are judged on their performance on the field and GPA. The athletes chosen must be a regular starter or a key reserve. Majoring in Agronomy, Early holds a 3.34 GPA. In the fall of 1980 he held a 4.00 GPA and was named to the MWSC Presidents List. He has also earned a number of Deanis List awards. Last fall he was selected to the College Sports Information Directors of America District 5 Small College All-American Team. During the 1982 season the linebacker recorded 63 total tackles with 46 initial 1062All Americans hits, had three quarterback sacks, eight other tackles for losses, two pass inter- ceptions and two fumble recoveries. For these feats he earned Honorable Mention in both the CSIC and District 16 of the NAIA. Early holds the school records for most yards gained on interception returns in a game and in a season. Newhart holds a 3.21 GPA and is majoring in Business Administration. He was Missouri Westerns leading tackler for three seasons and was named to the All-CSIC and All-District 16 in each of his four seasons. ' In 1981 he was an HonOrable Mention All-American. Newhartis 1982 stats were lower due to an early season injury which limited his playing time to seven games. In this time he totaled 72 tackles with 47 initial hits, one quarterback sack, three other tackles for losses and one pass interception. Keller holds a 3.72 GPA with a dual major in Animal Science and Agriculture Economics. In the fall of 1981 he was named to the MWSC Presidents List and also earned several Deanis List citations. Among his accomplishments are a 1982 nomination to the CoSIDA District 5 Small CollegeiAll-Academic team. He has been a starter on the Griffon offensive line for the past two seasons. Tony Franklin, a 197-pound senior, and Steve Marlay, a 282-pound defensive tackle, were named to the NAIA All- American Honorable Mention squad. Franklin was named to the 1982 All- District and CSIC first team. He was ranked fifth in the district play including offensive and defensive players. He was named District 16 defensive player of the week on four occasions and CSIC defen- sive player of the week twice. Franklin is a weightlifting enthusiast and held the title of Mr. St. Joseph in 1980. Marlay was a first-team member in both the District 16 and CSIC. He was ranked ninth overall in the district. CSIC coaches showed respect for Marlay by running away from his side of the line as he was ranked seventh on Griffon defense with 40 total tackles.

Guard Jim Finley was the only senior starter 0n the team with junior forward Frank Wheeler the other returning Grif- fon. The two of them were to provide leadership for the team as they knew the Missouri Western style of play. The season opened with Missouri Western dropping six of the first nine games, five of which were District 16 games. In these early, yet crucial, district games the Griffs had good chances to come out on top in all but two of them. They were blown out by Evangel to start the season and by arch rival Rockhurst three games later by 17 and 19 points respectively. In the other three games the roundbal- lers went down in bitter defeats losing by only four points in each. UMKC got by with a 62-58 victory and Avila invaded the Fieldhouse to sneak out with a 55-51 overtime win. Heading to Rockhurst, the Griffs looked to avenge their earlier drub- bing, but fell short once again with a 68-64 loss to set the team back 3-6 on the season. As everyone else was finishing up Iinals and getting set to go home for Christmas, the Griffon Five were preparing to tangle with BIG-8 power-Nebraska. The end result wasnit pretty as the Cornhuskers obliterated the Griffs at a 93-45 pace. Next was the Texas Longhorns of the Southwest Conference. For a while it looked as though Santa was going to come early for the Griffs. They led most of the game before bowing out With a 78-70 setback.

The team now hit a heavy load of CSIC games for the remainder of the season with four big District 16 games still to play. The district games were now ltmust- wins as their record stood at 1-5 with only a shakey shot at the playoffs. So, heading to Joplin to face Missouri South- ern, the Griffs knew they had a rough task ahead of them. The Lions were aware of the situation and were not very hOspitable as they smacked the Griffs in the face with an 84-67 whipping. Three games later, the Lions were on our turf and the Griffons were looking for payment. The Griffs collected an 81-67 victory with the help of Ingrams, who shot in 25 points. A 67-62 loss at Avila put a wet blanket all over Westernis chances to reach the playoffs. As the Griffons were ranked eighth in Dunkels Power Rating and only the top seven teams qualify for post sea- son play. On top of this was the district rule that a team must also win 40 percent of its games to make the playoffs. The team had also been dropping too many CSIC games and stood 7-17 when about to play Tarkio in the final district game. A 60-58 win over Tarkio turned out to be too little, too late as Avila was able to take the seventh spot just in front of Missouri Western. The team did manage to finish the season on a high note as they won their final two games of the season and three of their last four. Coach Shear feels that a good nucleus has been formed and he is anxious for next season to get underway. During the course of the season, Coach Shear had to be rushed to KU Medical Center for emergency surgery. A mechanism in his head from an earlier operation became clogged causing the emergency. He recuperated in line shape and got back to his daily jogging.

The Tournament finale saw Missouri Western turn on the offense for a 74-68 Central States Conference Victory over Wayne State. The youthful Griffons were led by freshman Arthur Cooks and James Holmes who scored 25 and 19 points respectively. Another freshman, Lonnie Ashley, wasn,t supposed to play due to an ankle he twisted earlier in the week but came off the bench to score 14 points and lead the team in rebounds with nine. With 10 minutes left to play the Griffs had a 63-49 lead, but with just over three minutes to play the Wildcats stormed back to pull within six at 72-66. At the two-minute mark, Western went into a four-corner game delay and Wayne State made a series of fouls in order to get the ball back. The Cats could only manage one more bucket as Ron Taylor hit a baseline jumper to conclude the nighfs scoring. Western pulled within two, but AvilaTS Tom Bodenstab put the game on ice with a pair of free throws with under 20 sec- 1 0nds remaining. Arthur Cooks led the Griffon effort with 18 points, and Frank Wheeler finished with 14. The win upped the roundballerST re- cord to 2-4 and 1-0 in the CSIC. Wayne State slipped under the .500 mark at 4-5 overall and 0-1 in the conference. The weather on this early December weekend was cold, but the action on the court and under the hoops was plenty hot.

As it turned out they became one of the teams to beat. The season got off to a normal start with the women forming a mild 2-1 to cord. Tarkio received a thrashing of 101- 87 on opening night with senior forward Julie Sherwood pumping in a school re- cord 40 points. That game was just a hint of what was to come. After the upset loss to Grandview, the Lady Griffs got back on track with a 1 16NVomen's Basketball couple of close wins over Creighton and Norheast Missouri State. These two wins were enough to get the team steaming as they started to crush every team in sight, enroute-to a school record 1 38game winning streak. During the onslaught, the lady round- ballers showed how good they really were. There was no one person who continually gained high scoring honors. Each game it seemed as though someone different would step into the limelight. It might be Sherwood, or sophomore Sandy Stevens putting them in from her forward spot, or sophomore post Cheri Kempf. The awesome display of power through this period earned the Ladies a peak in the national rankings at sixth. In the NAIA, very seldom were any of these wins close as they continued to blow opponents off of the court.

Fort Hays State put on a valid effort for an upset, but fell short as they were turned away with a 79-71 set back To coin the phrase hall good things must come to an end? the law of averages caught up with the Lady Griffons on Jan- uary 28 in Emporia, Kan, where the streak came to a screeching halt. At the end of the first half, the Lady Hornets were unusually close, trailing by just two at 27-25. The second half opened with Missouri Western jumping out to a 41-31 lead, but a 20-10 Emporia surge knotted the score at 5 1 with less than six minutes to play. During this span the Lady Griffons 1 187Womenis Basketball were outscored 11-3 and were turned away with their first defeat in 13 games and only the second of the season. Their record stood at 15-2. Victories werenit coming quite so easy after this. The problem was largely due to the teams letdown in second-halfplay. Shooting percentages slowlv dropped. The next outing saw Missouri Western take a 56-50 decision over Washburn. Down the stretch, Sherwood hit two big freethrows to secure the win and in the process, she became the first Lady Griffon to top the 1,300 point plateau in a career. Two more wins against Missouri South- ern and Pittsburg State put the Lady Grif- ll- WOMENiS BASKETBALL fons at 18-2 heading into their next game against arch-rival UNKC. At this time, the team was ranked sixth in the NAIA and the Lady Kangaroos were ranked 15th with their 17-4 record.

The faithfull followers were treated to a close yet comfortable Victory as Mis- souri Western came out on top with a 79-65 win. Julie Sherwood was determined to end her senior year in a blaze as she led all scorErs with 26 points and pulled down seven rebounds from her forward posi- tion. With Sophomore guard Cheri Kempf leading the team in rebounds with 10 and pumping in 14 of her own points, the Lady Griffs were on their way to hitting a hot 59 percent from the floor. Culver-Stockton could manage only 39.7 percent in the field goal department as their season ended with a 16- 1 3 record. At the end of the first half the game was still close at 38-31 with the black and gold of Missouri Western on top. The Culver-Stockton women held on for a good part of the second half, but the Griffsi superiority started to show. With just over 9 minutes to play, Missouri Western broke out to a 61-50 lead and never looked back as they built up as much as a 17 point advantage before finally winning by a 14 point margin. Now the Lady Griffs could look on to March 2 and their game with Southwest Baptist.

Falnkhauser At the time they didnlt know it, but they could have looked right on past the Southwest game and on to the District Championship. With Pat Graham leading the way with 17 points and five other Lady Griffs in double figures, the women of Southwest Baptist were literally bloWn out of the Western Fieldhouse. . .'and St. Joseph for that matter as they'were sent back to Bolivar, Mo. with a slight setback of 103- 63. At half-time it was obvious that the game was going to be a blowout as the Lady Griffs sat a top a 49-20 lead. Western shot at a 53.8 pace from the field and a blistering 76 percent from the charity stripe. The women may have been somewhat inspired by the fact that attendance dou- bled to right around 200 for the final home game of the year. Now, Coach Debbie Bumpus and her players were about to get what they wanted, a showdown and a chance to get revenge for two regular season losses at the hands of arch rival University of Mis- souri-Kansas City. The squad was now in high gear head- ing into the championship and were ready to take their pound of flesh from the Lady Kangaroos. The two power- houses went head to head and played a tight half with the Lady Roos holding a slight 33-29 lead at the intermission. The Kangaroo squad was playing their usual tight defense and allowed the Western women a dismal 40 percent field goal average. The Golden Griffons continued their cold shooting after the break, but their 76 percent shooting at the line kept them Close, but not close enough as the UMKC women were able to contain the Griffs. Revenge was unattainable on this even- ing as the Lady Griffons were sent home five short at 67-62. Julie Sherwood finished her career at Missouri Western by leading the team with 15 points and grabbing five re- bounds.

The golfers were supposed to hit the greens in late March but a typical Mis- souri spring delayed the Western Golfersl first official rounds to April 14. In Joplin, the squad took part in the Crossroads Invitational hosted by Mis- souri Southern. Western finished in the middle of the 27-team tournament.

This totaled 3 19 which improved on a tirst-day round of 348. The only home match of the season saw Western win a triangular match over Northwest Missouri State and Benedic- tine. The Griffs shot a 316 team total to top Northwestls 326 and Benedictinets 373. Huffaker and Papciak led the team with rounds of 77. Junior John Fitzgerald shot a 79 and Leimbach rapped up the scoring with an 83. The Griffons headed to Lawrence, Kan. to take part in the CSIC Championships. Missouri Southern grabbed the team title as Western took third. In the ten-team UMKC Invitational, the squad claimed third. Papciak and Huf- faker teamed for a 78 total, while Fasch- ing and Leimbach combined for an 80. Park College was only five strokes better than Western's 1 58 team total.

In the District 16 Tournament, the golfers gave it their best shot but took only 10 too many as their two-day total of 620 just wasnit good enough as Drury College took the District title with a 610 score. Missouri Southern was sandwiched between the two claiming second. Fasching gained a berth in the NAIA National tournament by sharing medalist honors with Druryis Kevin Moen, each carding a 36-hole total of 151. Fasching shot an even-par 72 on the opening day and on a day of terrible weather, he followed with a 79.

Hanson, the No.2 player, suf- fered a knee injury in that match that ultimately ended her season. Thus, West- ern lost not only a top singles player but half the No.1 doubles team as well. The following weeks action resulted in a split once again by dropping a 6-5 decision to Northwest Missouri State Uni- versity and claiming a 5-2 victory over Park College. Western had to forfeit one singles and one doubles match to NWMSU because of Hansonls absence. This trend continued throughout the re- maining dual matches. On April 15 and 16, MWSC played host to a 13-team tournament. Althoughman- aging only a twelfth place tie overall, Barnes Claimed the consolation title by winning three straight matches and then teamed With Sharp in the doubles before bowing out in the semifinals. The Western women struggled through their next three matches being blanked by Lincoln University 9-0, losing a 6-3 decision to Avila and once again falling to NWMSU 7-2. These losses drop- ped their dual record to 2-5. Bright spots in the last two defeats included Barnesl two victories, then pairing with Sharp to Claim a pair of doubles Wins. The women ended their dual season May 3 on a positive note With an 8-1 triumph over William Jewell 0n the MWSC courts, finishing With a 3-5 mark. The team traveled to Springfield May 6 and 7 to compete in the District 16 Tournament. Barnes was the only West- ern player to survive the first round. She finished third out of 38 competitors and just missed qualifying for ,the national tournament. By reaching the semi-fmals, she was named to the All-District team. Inclement weather shortened the lad- ies season by 10 matches, with three K-wxmwmeww washouts in one weekend. The knee in- jury to Hanson forced the others to move up to a tougher position, but Bumpus felt they handled the adjustment well. Despite the losing record, Bumpus did not feel disappointed in the season. llWith some help from the weather and a healthy team, the season could have been different. Hanson underwent orthoscopic knee surgery in April and hoped to strengthen her knee through summer weight train- ing. Bumpus was pleased With the overall individual improvement, and with six of the seven players returning she looks for 21 stronger team in the next two years.

The starting line-up was missing only three regulars from the 1982 roster and pitching sensation Cheri Kempf was back to show her stuff for her sophomore season. In the first five games, the Lady Griffons decided to get all the kinks out early as they dropped five straight to kick off the season. This was not what Head Coach Rhesa Summrell had in mind. Pitching was not the problem at this point, but rather too many errors and not enough production at the plate. Three of the five losses were of the 2-1 variety, one was a 2-0 loss and just when they started scoring runs the Lady Griffs couldnit hold down Buena Vista in a 7-6 defeat. Now, the Western women were about to meet just what they needed, William Jewell, Missouri Baptist, Harris-Stowe and Tarkio. Western took all of their early season frustrations out on these schools and a few more as they started to bang off 14 straight victories. kw uQ-u;;.wvwhm.,rwnwmr' wyw-n'mwmww'mwsmvww'awvmmmm .W . fits Dirt;X,I LWM ' :-, 4,5 I . .535 , L;i,;3;' ' ' ,.

In- cluded in those five wins was a 2-1 Vic- tory over Northeast Missouri State who was ranked seventh in the nation in the NCAA Division II at the time of the game. During the next few outings, the squad looked sluggish as they dropped three of their next four games. The Lady Griffs did manage to win a 6-3 squeaker that took eight innings to pull out of the fire. Northeast avenged their earlier loss by winning 5-4 and Northwest Missouri State knocked two more losses into the Lady Griffsi record with 3-1 and 5-4 wins. The Lady Griffs went to the CSIC tour- nament and fought their way through the consolation round before being whipped by Emporia State in the tournament final. All conference honors were received by three Western players in the voting by the eight CSIC coaches. Pitchertout- fielder Kempf and shortstdp Julie Sher- wood were named to the 13-member first team. Outfielder Kim Palmer was named to the honorable mention squad. Missouri Western was now ready for the most critical part of their season, the District 16 playoffs. The Lady Griffons stormed right by Missouri Southern with a 9-0 win in the opening round. Kempf hurled a one-hit- ter and Sherwood drove in five runs. In the next game, the Western women squeaked by William Woods with a 4-3 win. Kempf picked the win again as she pitched 3 213 innings of relief. The championship game came down to Missouri Western and Missouri South- em. The game was scoreless until the ninth when junior first baseman Sheryl McCor- mick rapped a two-out double to score freshman Tina Hofflemeyer, who had singled earlier in the inning. After the celebrating and the dust set- tled, everyone realized that Kempf had thrown a no-hitter and they were on their way to the national tournament for the second straight year.

The season opened with the first 12 games on the road. They played well on the road, but lost some tough games, and returned home with a 5-6-1 record. Against NCAA Division I competition, they finished with a 0-3-1 record, losing 4-2 to Southwest Missouri State, drop- ping a pair to the University of Arkansas by scores of 13-2 and 9-4, and holding the University of Iowa to a scoreless tie before darkness ended the game. By winning their last four road games in doubleheader sweeps of School of the Ozarks and Evangel, the Griffon batsmen were off to a nine-game winning streak. Upon returning home, they swept a pair from Tarkio, squeaked by William Jewell 3-2 and escaped with 1-0 and 3-2 Vic- tories over Mayville State of North Dakota. The streak ended with a 6-5 loss to Benedictine in a re-scheduled game.

A sweep of Evangel, 10-2 and 10-3, in the preliminaries propelled the Griffons into the District 16 playoffs in Joplin. Coach Minnis felt the team had been playing well and was optimistic as they entered the tournament. Rain postponed the games by four days, but finally the Griffonis season came to an end at the hands of William Jewell, 10-5, and Mis- souri Southern, 8-5. Their overall record fell to 20-18-1. A total of 28 games were claimed by the weather leaving only 37 games played. Coach Minnis reported, 1The sea- son as a whole had its ups and downs. We didn1t play consistently because of the weather situation. There was no con- tinuity.n Bright spots this year were the way the freshmen came through. Coach Minnis lauded the efforts of Dale Reed, Jim Car- rithers, Tony Leasck and Pete Jans. 3This yearis team consisted mainly of seniors and freshmen.

Hit the Sand ust before hitting the books to study for a week of finals, over. 60 enthu- siastic college students hit the sands for beach volleyball. With this event, it was time to bring out the bikinis and suntan lotion and let the hot sand burn between still winter-white toes. The 1 1 team field was divided into two divisions-the spikers division and the setters division. Several interesting names were made up including UKB tUpa Kappa Beerl the Weidhoppers, the Traditional Beach Burns and a group of friendly types called the Gang. Most of these teams were just thrown together to go out and have a good time and in many cases proved it as they wasted little time in bowing out of con- tention. Then there were teams that seemed to be out to take their year long frustrations out on some poor sand-eater on the other side of the net. Some of these teams included Phi Mu who was captained by Leslie Hollingsworth and FCA who followed their leader Jeff Baird into battle. There was also one group that believed in the philosophy of not taking prisoners as they proved to be the most ruthless bunch of the whole lot. This group was Andy Bakeris UKB V. After crushing most of their oppo- nents, Phi Mu and FCA were set to clash in the playoff as UKB V lurked around the playing field waiting to take on the Serving the ball, John Vanderpool aighO tries to score another point for his team in the beach volleyball finals.

First it was time to decide who would provide the competition for UKB V. Phi Mu took the opening match which proved to be of the see-saw variety with Phi Mu finally grabbing the 15-13 win. FCA wouldnit die and forced a third match after taking the second with a 15-12 win. Phi Mu bounced by to take their championship match and at the same time gained the right to meet UKB V for the overall cham- pionship.

In the background, Intramural Coor- dinator Faye Burchard could be heard encouraging one and all to participate in the Intramural Fireup and try their luck at winning prizes for the individual and team efforts. A twoaperson race featured couples bound at the knee like Siamese twins who clumsily sped to the finish line with a rubber ball pressed against each others leg. Individual attractions were offered for those in attendance 5010. One of the most popular was for people with good lips and lots of pucker power. Not a kissing booth but a watermelon seed spitting contest! Entrants were issued a chunk of watermelon and had to eat their way down to the valued black seed without dripping the succulant juices over their new school clothes. The spitter stood at the end of a long and narrow runway and tried to make the black jewel airborne and keep it on target.y Dr. Nolen Morrison, vice president of student affairs, was coaxed to try his luck at the spitting and did a good job for being the only participant in a necktie. The gunny sack race drew a good re- sponse as students tried to hop their way to victory and a Coors poster or a huge calender to count the days left until Christmas break. Sponsors were on hand from Army ROTC, Newman Club, and Delta Phi Up- silon to inform students about their re- spective organizations. Grilled cheese sandwiches sold by the cafeteria and the deli enabled students to make it through the day of classes. Burchard was pleased with the turn- out, but still felt more people could have jumped in and enjoyed the activities of- fered.

Maybe Ilm just getting psyched up for the race to start.

As I look at the faces around me, I find out some of these people mean business and others just want to finish. Burchard lifts her arm to fire the shot to start this grueling event. With the shot ringing in my ear I punch the start button on my stop watch as the pack moves me along. The procession slowly breaks apart as we make our way around Downs Drive and to Mitchell where I establish myself in the fifth position. I quickly slip into the sixth slot as I pass near the Lamba Chi house. I donit like what is in front of me: a hill which gradually in- creases its incline with each stride. Upon reaching the first water area by the Church, Iim falling way behind the five in front of me, especially Mr. Marathon, who has built up a sizeable lead over everyone. Halfway through the stretch on Riverside road to Faraon I am tempted to make a pit stop at the hospital to get a new running form in the emergency room. I find this stretch to be the most gruel- ing part of the course with a stiff, frigid breeze belting me right in the face which is made worse by the fact that I am drenched with sweat. I decline the offer for water on the stretch because I get sideaches just walking in the rain. Coming off Faraon is a great relief from the wind, but the hills to be climbed are no joy. I concentrate on keeping my form loose so I can push myself to the maximum for the rest of the course. The long downhills are good for knocking off valuable seconds from my overall time. Upon reaching Mitchell a sudden burst of energy hits me, and I am able to chew up the road Clear to the finish line. It would be nice to have somebody close in front to try and catch or somebody behind pushing me. This isnt to be, so I trot in with a sixth place finish and a time Of 44:01. I did manage to come in first in my age division as well as last. Its easy to win, and lose, when youlre the only en- trant. As I get back to the car, I find out my thoughts about the orange juice were right: it does taste great. By Eric Snider Fun Rum137 1 o- u. w: Tl Students play into the Wee Hours he All Nighter, held March 5, was fun and unique in many ways, al- lowing students the exquisite ple- asure of playing into the wee hours of the morning without getting yelled at by anybody. Sponsored by Coors for the third con secutive year, everything went pretty much as planned. Fay Burchard, director of intramural activities here, played the key role in presenting the activities. The events were set up, according to Burchard, to help show the student body and everyone who participated that they can have fun without spending a lot of money and to provide a place for the students to go for a good time without the risk of running into trouble. Sigma Alpha Iota, a music fraternity and 'sorority, also played a big part in the All Nighter. Having first-year duties in this special event, Sigma Alpha Iota spon- sored an arcade to raise money for financ- ing special events. The arcade had such attractions as penny toss, bingo, plate toss, darts, bean bag toss and ping pong toss. With their winnings from each game the students received tickets which they could cash in for prizes. Acording to Vicky Chiles, president of the group, the All Nighter was a success, raising enough money to go ahead and organize their planned events. A couple of other people involved with the event were Wonda Berry, Vickie War- ren, Myrna Blaine, Gary Saske, Jeff Stubblefield, Tim Baird and Mary Jo Eiberger. A beer can-stacking contest, films, pil- low polo, team handball, racquetball, cageball volleyball and blind volleyball all attracted the attention of the students throughout the night. A scavenger hunt was one of the first games of the evening. Each individual 138tAll Nighter taking part searched for hidden objects in the Field House arena. A game that was being played for the first time this year, hackie sack, was also one of the most popular. The object of this game is to keep the miniature bean bag in the air, passing it only with feet and knees to opponents. til hope this event Will catch on at other colleges in the future? said Berry, who was in charge of its planning.

Spring brought many events ranging from basketball to track. The track meet, a new event held April 17 at Central High School, proved to be one of the biggest events of the year. The five field events and the winner of each were: long jump, Chris Kelley in the menis and Christine Finland in the womenls; triple jump, Amos Fardill, menls; high jump,John Wit- tel, menis and Dianne Murphy, womenls; shot put, Dwayne Wimmer, menls and Dianne Easter, womenls; and discus, Mike Sprague, menls and Dianne Easter, women,s. The running events included the 100 meter dash and the 3,200 meter relay run. Winners in the 100 meter dash were John Shae and Terry Rosing. The four-man team winning the relay were Hinkle, Humphrey, Goch and Maliton. In the womenis division Kleck, Kippe, Darby and Allen made up the four- woman winning team. Tee Shirts were awarded to first place winners of each event. The annual spring Fun Run saw a turn- out of more than 50 people, a consider- able improvement over last years event. Winners in their age group of the menls division in the 10 kilometer run were David Duvall, Eric Snider, Greg Gillespe, Michael Smith, Robin Cash andJohn Wys- koff. Women7s division 1 0 kilometer win- ners in their age brackets included Terry Reed and Pam Herbert. The five kilometer run had five win- E ners in the mens division: Keith Sismey, John Barnes and Mike Walter.

The annual event was co-sponsored by the Business and Economics Department, the American Marketing Association and the Student Government Association. The feature speakers for the seminar were Dan Edwards, sales training consul- tant from Boston, Mass. and Bill Reuhl from the Miller Brewing Company, Mil- waukee, Wis. Edwards, who was named the profes- sional sales representative of the year in 1974-75, spoke on how to persuade people into buying a product. hNobody grows up wanting to be a sales rep. Thereis no such thing as a born salesman. Theres no magic to sellinga selling is just persuasion? Edwards explained. He pointed out that the first 30 sec- onds are crucial to a sell. A salesman must prove to the potential customer that his product will be beneficial. Once this has been accomplished, the salesman can find out what the particular needs, wants and areas of interest of the Client are and show how the Client can benefit by using his product. Also important to making a sale, ac- cording to Edwards, is knowing what to tell and what not to tell the client in order to pique his interest. uYou dont want to tell everything about the product. Only present the mar- ketable assets on first calls? Edwards advised. The four assets that sell products are Dproducts save that money, Ziproducts that save time, 3 products that make a job easier, 4y products that save lives or improve health. uAsk open questions. Dontt ask a ques- tion that can be answered with a simple yes or no. Ask questions that draw out information? He stressed that an open question by itself is useless-the salesman must listen actively . The topic of Reuhlls presentation was how Miller became the second highest selling beer after the company was ac- quired by Phillip Morris in 1970. The old campaign labeled Miller as ii'The champagne of Bottled Beer. After the acquisition by Morris, the company began researching the beer market. 11We found that 802, of all beer is drunk by the 18-34 age group in the late afternoonf, Reuhl explained. Through those findings the Miller Bre- wing Company scrapped the itcham- pagne of bottle beer, and introduced uMillertime: If youlve got the time, welve got the beer? They began to identify with the work- ing class. They turned in their champagne ice-bueket for a lunchbucket. The best way to catch the eye of the consumer is to use something out of the ordinary. itThe clear bottle has been a great asset. The strangest thing is to be able to see the product? Reuhl said. After more research following the in- stallation 0f the new compaign, Miller found that they were appealing to the 2549 age group but not to the larger 18-24 market group; It was their up-beat 11Welcome to Mil- lertimei, ads, that appealed to both age groups and thus made Miller the second highest selling beer. iBoth speakers emphasized persistence. 11f your product isnit selling, youlve got to find out why and then make the needed corrections?

Dr. Glen Johnson, chairman of the Ag- riculture Department, said, llMissouri Western is one of three schools in the nation which allows agriculture students to do research. We allow students to do what they want within reason. Under the direction of the faculty, the students do everything from soil tests and selection of the herbicide to the actual cultivation and planting of crops? One research project done on her- bicides has presented a unique opportun- ity for one student. Greg Young, an ag- ronomy student, was selected to present a paper to the national convention of the Association of Young Agronomists in Anaheim, Calif. The paper was about re- search to determine the effects of here bicides on the control of weeds in deep loess hills. Young said, itThe research has given me a broader spectrum of what happens if I go back to the farm and it has given me an exposure to research that is not available at other schools except as a graduate student?

This was the advice given by ABC cor- respondent Hilary Brown, who spoke at the Foreign Language and Communica- tions Day. The television news industry has changed since Brown started as a corres- pondent, she told the several hundred area high school students attending the combined event. The main changes have been the emergence of video tape to replace film and the amount of news shows on televi- sion. iiVideo tape allows, and therefore al- most requires, correspondents to trans- mit clips as soon as possible after an event happens?

Brown told the students that they should attempt the impossible first, fol- lowed by the possible, and to never give up. They should also take any job in the field to get a foot in the door, something which she did to get into broadcasting. She said that a degree in journalism was good, but degrees in other areas were just as important, especially if a journalist has practical experience. The field of journalism is growing rapidly but at the same time is very com- petitive. Foreign correspondents should know at least a few basic words in as many languages as possible. iiEnglish is the most-common international language, but is not used by many people a corres- pondent needs to interview,n she said. liFrench is the language of diplomacy and one of the best foreign languages to know? Brown added. She emphasized the importance of pro- nouncing words properly in both foreign languages and English. Before going to a foreign country, a correspondent needs to pick up a trans- lation book and books written by major authors from that country. Journalists should try to remain objec- tivef Brown continued. iiThey will often be tempted to sympathize with one side or even both sides of a conflict. The most difficult time to remain objective is when humans suffer? uIt is the our responsibility, our moral duty, to bring human rights violations to the consciousness of the public,n she said. Even dictators do not like a bad press? Brown, who has been a correspondent for 13 years, was the key-note speaker for the annual event sponsored by the Department of English and Modern Lan- guages. Her appearance was funded by the Cultural Events Committee as part of the Sally Juden Reed Memorial Presidential Lecture Series and by the College Activity Board. Students Visiting the campus from 30 area high schools attended communicav tions workshops and foreign language contests and films in addition to the speech. High school journalists also submitted newspaper, yearbook and creative writ- ing entries which were judged by local professionals. First, second and third place certificates were awarded.

TIA 1 SOiCommunications Day he flew into Kansas City at 1 :30 am. and was ready and waiting at nine that morning outside the Marriot Hotel at Kansas City International Air- port. After a oneahour drive, she was escorted to a small room, seated on a couch before a barrage of lights and cameras, and interrogated by a clutter of bold reporters with backgrounds ofbash- ful journalist-hopefuls. And this was just the beginning. Hilary Brown, a native of Canada, graduated from the University of British Columbia with an Honors B.A. Degree in English Literature. After demonstrating paint-by-number sets in a department store Window in Oxford, England, and running errands as a secretary for Harperts Bazaar, she finally eased into journalism. In 1973, she was hired by ABC as the first female foreign correspondent-a job which sent her to troubled spots all over the world. She has filed stories in North- ern Ireland, Portugal, South Africa, Israel, Lebanon and Vietnam. In 1975, she was one of the last two journalists to fly out of Vietnam during the fall of Saigon. She covered the civil war and elections in El Salvador, the lastest coup dam in Guatemala and the war in the Falkland Islands. She was even on the spot when Israel invaded Lebanon. Reporting from the front line surely strikes the emotions of the war corres- pondent, but Brown stressed that she stove to remain objective. The aim is to try to, as accurately and faithfully as pos- sible, cover what is happening in the world that day. Of course, all reporters: have an opinion. If you dontt, youire missing a gland. But professional corres- pondents are not allowed to feel?

The Automotive Technology Depart- ment, although not widely known on campus, keeps very busy throughout the year. They do free car repair for faculty, students and the general public. Al- though they may take a little longer, quality is stressed in the work. Gary Cable stated, in may take three or four days to complete the job, but it Will be done correctly? He added that they have re- ceived no complaints this year on the work theyive done. The department dropped College Algebra as a requirement for their major and added Business Math. They also added another new class, Fuel and Emis- sions Control. This class teaches the func- tion of the computer and how it runs a car. A new class for the school year 1983- 84 was also added. This course is entitled Consumer Automechanics. This is open to everyone and is not a requirement for the major. The Agriculture Department had a hec- tic schedule with 17'student research projects throughout the year ranging from embryo transplants in dairy cattle to experimenting with different types of herbicides. In September the liFarmer Field Dayii was held with between 250- 300 area farmers attending. This was the sixth year for this event which showcases the research projects. March 26 they hosted a LivestockJudg- ing Contest with 40-50 area high schools in attendence. These high school stu- dents judge eight classes of livestock and are then judged themselves on the job they performed. All this was recorded on E ; tudent involvement is accented in a computer for the first time this year which is a big step forward for the depart- ment. The Agriculture Department has two clubs, the Agriculture Club and the Young Agronomists Club. The faculty of this department is half female which makes it the only one on campus to be able to boast that fact. The department also has a slide and tape presentation they take to high schools which is 10 percent about MWSC and 90 percent about the Agriculture Department. This presentation covers both the two and four year programs. While the Business Department, which is the largest at MWSC, had no cur- riculum changes this past year, they have major ones formulated for the 1983-84 school year. However, the changes are not official yet. Some of their activities this past year included Accounting Day on October 29, Economics Day on April 1 3, and Mar- keting Day on April 26. On January 27 they had the chairman of the National Labor Relations Board as a speaker. The Small Business Institute also sponsored 19 students to take part in a Managing Consultive Contract in which the senior business majors used their schooling ex- perience to act as consultants for small businesses. This year they,re having Senior Honor scholarships for the first time. Marketing, Accounting, Economics and Manage- ment are all included. The top juniors of each four will receive a $500 scholarship for their senior year. Through department days and stu- dents services, these departments work to benefit the education of their students while providing aid to the community.

Meeting the Requirements riminal Justice instructor Leroy Maxwell teaches in many exciti ing ways ranging from evaluating each student according to his or her participation in the class discussion to how each individual benefits as far as acquiring the knowledge needed to be in the law program. Many changes took place in the organi- zation this past year. Arson investigations were evaluated by the students and Max- well pointed out that this addition will be very beneficial to the student if the criminal justice field is included in his or her future. The criminal justice faculty brought together a training academy to train students who hope to become police officers when they enter the field of justice. Law Day has become one of the biggest events in the justice areaf said Maxwell, who expects-to invite about 30 agencies next yearinstead of the original 25 from this past year. This will help the organization improve and expand the field of justice for each student. Law Assistants are in great demand every year. They are there to stand be- hind their attorney for many reasons. A lawyers assisant also does most of the paper work and controls matters which involve bankruptcy and probate. Systems are changing every year; therefore, in order to prepare students for a career, how and what is taught in the program must change also. The purpose of the Engineering and Technology Department is to meet all electronic and technological needs at Missouri Western. Brenda Warman, in- structor in the Engineering and Technol- ogy Department, also feels that the de- partment can and should assist in meet- ing the technological needs of the nation.

Lofton Departmentst 1 57 NO EXCEPTION + 0 keep up with the changing soci- ety, many departments have made curriculum changes. The Nursing, Military Science, and Secreterial Science departments are no exception. Bonnie Saucier, chairperson of the Nursing Department, reported that they have had several curriculum changes this past year. Nursing 101, a pre-nursing course open to all students, was added. This course covers the role of a nurse and her legal and ethical responsibilities. Nursing 175 was also added. It deals with professional concepts of nursing for licensed practical nurses. Nursing 175 replaces Fundamentals of Nursing. Another class which has interested some students is being offered as an elective, Nursing 270. This is a nursing seminar dealing with the main principles of asser- tiveness training and methods of patient technique. iiThe department presently has a prop- osal to receive their Bachelor of Science degree in nursing. If approved, it Will go into effect in the fall of 1983. We are also trying tp receive National League for Nursing Accreditation recognitionf explained Saucier. There are presently 33 freshmen and 26 sophomores enrolled in the nursing program which will be admitting no more than 40 students for next semester. The students are admitted on the basis of G.P.A., ACT scores, a reference, and a bibliography. The final decision concern- ing which students are accepted is made by April 1, 1983. The Military Science Department par- ticipates in many activities throughout the year. A ski trip at Loveland for live days, a four-day canoe trip, and repelling exercises are included. There were two new activities within the department this year. The first was R.O.T.C. Day. They brought army equip- ment, helicopters, trucks, and artillery to this event which was open to the public and all area high schools. The second undertaking was starting a new R.O.T.C. program at the University of Missouri- Kansas City. UMKC did not have a milit- ary training program, so MWSC military personnel travelled to Kansas City twice a week to assist in starting the program. Dr. Stephen Capelli stated that the De- partment of Secreterial Science started a new program called correspondent sec- retary. This consists of a computer sys- tem where typewriters are hooked to the main computer. The technology of this system is similiar to the sophisticated systems used by large corporations and thus gives the students an oppurtinity to become familiar with its operation. The department particapates in various ac- tivities including a business contest for area high schools. By Brenda Euler 158Departments ii MILITARY SCI Moore, tSeconc NURSING tFirsl Rowl Andrea W byj.

I , , .i l131wFriff;q',1;rr,;a,'lv,;,;l;i y x; Psychology department uses rats as tThu'n ea Pigs ii he purpose of Dr. Phillip Wannis psychology lab is to present psy- chology as an experimental sci- ence to students. This will, according to Warm, help them obtain reliable informa- tion on how they can use the data in building and advancing the different types of theories they will use in the future. The class was involved in many types of studies, one of which is called concept formation. The students independently searched for different types of studies for the class. Through this work they de- veloped a better idea of how to categorize and how to discriminate be- tween the different types of studies they will encounter. Motivation serves as an important part of study in the classroom and will benefit the student in the class in many ways. It helps the student strive for goals and become better aware of what is expected of him. Students are also able to work together to design experiments that can benefit themselves. Another topic in the class involved a lie detection experiment. The study was designed to evaluate the students emo- tional reactions to determine how well the detector reacts towards each indi- vidual. However, this experiment was not successful because of obstacles which were encountered in the testing. Students who have had Wann as a lab professor in the past know of his almost legendary rat experiments. However, dif- ferent experiments were used on the rats this year. During the experiments the students were able to evaluate each rat according to how well it reacted to each of the experiments. One experiment which was most im- pressive, according to several students, Experimental Psychology student Dianne Grable Uigho records successful bar-presses in an operant conditioning experiment. Through the technique of operant conditioning, Hector the rat toppositel presses a bar to obtain a food pellet.--Photos by L. Correu 160iExperimental Psychology was that of the rats being taught to press the chamber bar in their cage When they become hungry. The system was designed in this fash- ion. A light was placed in the cage with the rat, the rat was then taught to press the chamber bar but only when the light was on. This enabled the rat to become accustomed to pressing the bar when hungry. If the light was not on, the rat would not receive any food. When the semester came to a close, Wannis class was involved in a special event with the rats, called the iiRat Olym- pics. This study showed how well the rats were evaluated by the students. Independent research was also impor- tant in the class. It enabled the students to become more confident in themselves, thus enabling them to show what they could do on their own. These experi- ments had a wide range of possibilities. The students could use different ani- malkthey were not limited to the rats. The classes, however, only ex- perimented with the rats this year be- cause of problems with the spreading of disease from the different types of ani- mals which the class has used in the past. Warm hopes the students in this field will realize they, too, are the subjects, and the different theories with which they are concerned will help them in achieving for themselves, as well as for the community.

Introduction and Participation in Edu- cation are the first two courses in elementary and secondary education at Missouri Western State College. These courses are primarily offered to sopho- mores and are designed to discover if they have the right ingredients to be- come a teacher. Introduction to Education is an eight week on-campus course that introduces students to the fields of elementary and secondary education. This is a conven- tional class in Which students discuss topics such as school organization, the history of education, taxes, school philosophy, curriculum and equal educa- tion for the handicapped as well as the minorities. Classroom teaching techniques are also discussed in order for the students to determine the good and bad points of each. Complaints of parents are simulated so that the students Will be better equipped to deal tactfully with the parents and understand them. After students have completed the In- troduction to Education course the next step is Participation in Education. This eight week course, at four hours a week, sends the student out into the schools to give them first hand experience at teach- ing.

Watch- ing Closely as the teacher instructs her stUdents, the aide is expected to copy down ideas, for introducing and closing a lesson, that may be helpful to them in the motivation of students. During this course experiences are scattered in order for the student to look at the whole school. In the elementary field, a student may begin as an aide for a kindergarten classroom and then move on to third grade, special education, physical education, music and finally to the school secretary so that they may get a glimpse of the many facets of a school system. In the secondary education brac- ket, students observe classrooms and get acquainted with the teachers, students and other school personnel. The StJoseph School District and other area schools readily accept these stu- dents and the teachers appreciate the help. Introduction to Education is a two credit hour course in a conventional classroom setting, while Participation in Education, a one credit hour course, puts the student in the actual world of teach- ing. Secondary education sponsor Dr. Jerry Ascherman concluded that lithe overall purpose of these classes is to get people into the classroom. Elementary education sponsor Diana Winston added, liltis an opportunity for students to dis- cover early in their education whether or not teaching is the career for them. By Debbie Waggoner Sophomore Participatiom I 65 Erickson pro ves that YOUiRE NEVER TOO OLD ince the attitude towards physical fitness has changed in America, more and more people are getting into the swing of physical fitness and health. With these changing attitudes, Americans are living longer than ever before. Dr. Charles Erikson, Professor and Chairperson of the Department of Health, Physical Education and Recreation at MWSC, is aware of this fact and in the furture, plans to give more attention to the older student. IiYou cannot continue to grow by put- ting all emphasis on the normal college age student when there are less people graduating from high school and more people on retirement? Erickson said. Erickson has presented several pro grams on adult physical fitness with em- phasis on aging to national, state, district and community groups. These included a program on how to develop an Adult Physical Fitness Program with an Em- phasis on Aging at the Second Mid- America College and University Physical Education Conference in Chicago. In 1981, Erickson presented three pro- grams Exercise and the Aging Responsea in the Fitness After Fifty and the Heart Conference in Rennslaerville, New York at the Institute on Man and Science. Erickson also served as the chairperson of the Dropaln Center For Aging in 1 98 1. His plan for physical Iitness courses designed for the aging is just one of the numerous programs that he has de- veloped in the Physical Education De- partment at MWSC. Among his ace complishments, Erickson developed the Concepts of Physical Activity programs currently in use as a college requirement course. Erickson also developed an Adult Physical Fitness Program with an em- phasis on vigorous seniors at MWSC in 1972. This is taught three times a year and with about 175 students enrolled in each class, it is the most popular adult continuing education program in the col- legeis history. The Childrenls Lifetime Sports Academy Which has been in existence since 1973, was developed and coordi- 166fDr. Erickson nated by Erickson, and sustains an aver- age enrollment of approximately 200 children between the ages of eight and fourteen. This program is offered for a week in the summer to teach iithe skills, values and appreciations involved in lifetime sport activities Which can be utilized throughout life for fun, health and fitness. In 1975, Erickson also taught and developed the Missouri Western State College Tennis Camp Which is still in existence. Erickson co-authored a book in 1978 entitled iiPhysical Activity for All Ages, along with DewayneJ. Johnson of Florida State University, Candis Pendergast of Fargo South High School and primary author James W. Terry of Missouri West- ern. This book has been in use as the reference to the RE. Concepts course at MWSC. Erickson and some of his colleagues have also written for such publications as the iiTennessee Association for Health, Physical Education and Recreationf WI'he Journal of Health, Physical Education and Recreation, The Buchanan County Farmer? and the iiMissouri Association for Health, Physical Education and Recre- ation Journal? On his own, Erickson wrote Thoughts on Special Olympics Held in St. Joseph, Missouri During the Last Two Years? which was printed in ijoy, in the OC- tober 1978 issue. Erickson who hails from Texas, re- ceived his Bachelor and Masters degree from Texas A 8: M University and come pleted his Doctorate at North Texas State University. In 1969, Erickson began teaching at Missouri Western State College and has since made many contributions to the world of Physical Education.

The Education Department, headed by Dr. S. E. Haynes, announced this year that there Will be an added emphasis on re- quirements in some majors. Due to Changes in state certification, new minimum requirements were estab- lished. Dr. Haynes reported that these requirements applied to the Special Edu- cation field, especially those dealing with mentally handicapped and learning dis- abled. The new curriculum is also applica able to Reading Emphasis and English. The Library Science course has been recently accredited and has produced its first graduates this spring. Following a review last fall, the National Accredita- tion for Teacher Education extended the departments accreditation for an addi- tional five years. The department once again sponsored the Elementary Education Day at the college which drew more than 800 teachers from the area.,This yearls theme for the annual event was elementary math. One new course was added to this years curriculum in the Psychology De- partment. uThe department saw a need for a class on adult psychology, and the result was Psychology of Adulthood and Aging, explained Dr. Martin Johnson, Chairman of the department. Several research projects were under- taken within the department. Dr. Phillip Warm researched math anxiety while Dr. James Bargar investigated dual-career families and the effect on husbanWwKe relationships. Several projects in the works for Dr. Johnson included the measurement of need for achievement, self-monitoring theory and generational differences in attitudes and values. Dr. Charles Erickson, chairman of the Health, Physical Education and Recre- ation Department gives emphasis on lifetime fitness activities and physical education concepts as primary objec- tives of his department. The only change this year, according to Dr. Drew Laudie, has been a supple- mental preparation requirement for all physical education or leisure manage- ment majors. Supplemental preparations are ac- tivities engaged in by students that en- hances their development toward their professional career goals beyond the minimal major course requirements. These requirements are divided into two areas: professional and participation. Each student must accumulate one-half the requirements in the professional area and one-half in the participation area. Last fall, the department sponsored the National Golf Foundation Workshop at Savannah. They also hosted the tenth annual Childrenls Lifetime Sports Academy from June 13-23. Its purpose was to teach the skills, values and ap- preciations involved in lifetime sports activities which can be utilized through- out life for fun, health and fitness. Changes in courses and major require- ments in these departments reflected the growth and continued evolution which is necessary to keep students education current and able to meet the demands of their disciplines.

The complaints prompted the Academic Affairs Committee tAACh of the Student Government Association to- investigate grade averages and with drawal rates in mathematics courses. But, as one member of AAC admitted, the committee could do no more than gather facts and verify complaints. Any changes that might have been necessary would have to be initiated by either the admin istration or the mathematics department. During the fall semester, Tom Robin- son, director of Institutional Research, 1 70lAlgebra gathered data on certain classes in each department llbased on grades given and attained by students in order to deter mine which classes required the most work. In the MAT 095 and MAT 105 algebra classes, Robinson noticed a trend. The low grade-point averages and high withdrawal rates made us very curiousf he recalled. Since then, several administrators re- ceived a written complaint from one student claiming that MAT 105 was un- reasonably difficult. Although the student boasted an abovetaverage intelligence and a superior grade-point average, she claimed she simply could not cope with the college algebra course. She also said that she intends to complete her educa- tion at an institution where required courses are passable. llThe letter whetted our appetite? Robinson said. The research department delved into further investigation, compiling grade statistics and withdrawal rates from the past four terms for the two algebra classes. They divided their data by in- structor to determine whether or not the difficulty was due to one overbearing mathematics instructor. Robinson stressed that his work was exclusively for the Presidents Cabinett which is made up of the college presi' dent, provost and vice presidents.

There is a general weakness in the mathematical science area.n He agreed that many students look elsewhere to fulfill their mathematics requirements. tiAn awful lot of students are taking college algebra off campus. It seems the severe grading pratiee on this campus is the reason. Dr. Kenneth Lee, Chairman of the mathematical sciences department, de- fended his department by saying that the courses were in the boundaries of what is expected for a college graduate. Bill Huston, an instructor for MAT 105, reinforced Lee. uIt is definitely not too difficultji he stated. itAlthough the stu- dents complaints are probably legiti- mate, it is because they are not adequately prepared for the course, and the rigor of the Class is just too much for them. But every college graduate should be able to fulfill the requirements of the course? Huston urged students struggling with their math classes to ittake advantage of the student tutorsethere are tutors avail- able just about every hour of the day.n However, despite the availability of a tutoring program, the math tutoring ser- vices remained virtually unused. itWe really havenit had any people coming in for help With algebraf math tutor David J.

Believe it or not, many originate right there in the Science and Math Building in one of the laboratories. Starting from the beginning, one can find out just how those organs came to be donated for the sake of observation and education. As with many mysteries, the origins are in the lab.

One of the steps involved in slide preparation tabovey is the slicing ofvarious plant and animal tissuc.-Ph0tos by B.

Just Ricky the Rat, Who was previously plucked from a maze to eventually be the; object of the stares of many an eye. Then he was ilcut down to sizef so to speak. The course of investigation next led to the discovery of the branch of anatomy called histology which is concerned with the preparation of minute tissue structure for the use of study. Thus, Ricky became the text book. Liver, heart, lung and muscle tissue are sectionedeoff and stored in boxes that resemble catsup containers from McDonalds. When a section is ready for slide preparation, it is doused with an egg solution and carefully positioned on a Clean slide. It is then placed on a thermal gradient warming table and the entire specimen hardens. The plot thickens. Rickyls gifts to mankind are then stored on the shelf along side other pickled and pressed animals from the past. Later, they will be stained, labeled and ready for further study. Histology, a class designed for pre-vet and preemed students, is in its third year at MWSC. A total of 33 students have completed the course. There are only two other schools in the area that offer cytology classes. Perhaps one of the reasons of this is the cost of the technacon, a $4000 automatic staining and slide prep- aration marvel. Students who become acquainted with Ricky the Rat, in one way or another, will be qualified to follow pursuits in post-graduate work or pursue careers in pathology. Pathologists study normal cells against abnormal cells with the hope that one day a cure for diseases such as cancer and other cell malfunctions will result. And to think it all begins with the unselfish contribution of Ricky the Rat. By Terry Jeffers HistologyXl 75 ue One October afternoon, out on the edge of campus next to a half-exposed basement, five students stood around a wood-burning salt kiln, hugging their jac- kets against the chill. Nearby, farmers reaped their fall harvest With noisy John Deeres. A portable radio, propped up on a clay-caked bench, performed loudly to muted grey skies. A few students sipped 0n coffee or coke from self-made mugs. One tried to suck in some warmth from a dying cigarette While pacing before the smoke- scarred kiln. A woman, her daughter bOp- ping by her side, wandered over towards a hole in the bricks near the kilnTs base. Ya want me to turn these potatoes? Another turned around, brandishing a skewered hotdog. Mary Downey, a veteran ceramics stu- dent, explained, TTCooks real quickufaster than a microwave. Meanwhile a blue pickeup turned in off the gravel and parked behind the kiln. Jim Estes, ttda big bossTi and ceramics instructor, got out carrying a grocery sack and handed a bag of doritos to one of the students. Without hesitation, the bag was ripped open and passed around. A salt firing at Missouri Western is a reunion of sorts. Ceramics studentse past, and a few prospectiveemeet at the Basement House one to three times a year, weather permitting, to participate in the Old German art. It has been speculated that the practice of salt tiring began by accident sometime in the 1940s. Regardless of its origin, potters still use this rather unusual pro- cess as a method of firing glazed pottery. Salt firing differs from other types of firing in two obvious ways. First, salt tiring requires a woodeburning kiln. A few years back, the MWSC ceramic stu- dents constructed their own salt kiln. After digging the bricks up at some Timusty, dusty place down near Lower Lake Road? the students had to haul them to the Basement House where they created a Sprung Arch kiln. Since then, the kiln has been revamped a couple of times. The second distinction is What makes salt firing so special. As the name indi- cates, it involves salt. Once temperatures inside the kiln reach approximately 23000 Farenheit, the potter throws in about 20 to 25 pounds of table salt.

Be- Fl. :d pot, Diane Dirks lefty from the warm cause of the tremendous heat, the salt soon vaporizes. As the kiln cools down, the salt vapor condenses on the pottery, giving it a unique glaze, distinguishable by its llorange peel texture? Once the wood is sparked, a salt firing takes practically one-and-one-half days. This, however, does not take into ac- count the weeks ofpreparation and anti- cipation. The potter begins by pressing and squeezing the clay to eliminate bubbles and make it smooth. The clay is then shaped using one of a number of methods including hand building and the wheel methods. This accomplished, the un- glazed product is fired for the first time in a bisque kiln. After the bisque, the pottery is glazed. Pots to be fired in a salt kiln are sometimes coated with a special salt recipe glaze. Before the pots can be loaded into the kiln for their final firing, the shelves and posts must first be coated with kiln wash to prevent them from also being glazed. At last, the pottery is ready to be fired to bake the glaze. The salt kiln was loaded for firing, but it kept raining, so they kept waiting. After a week, the rain relaxed and a date for the firing was set. Around 7 am. the students began chopping wood. They chopped all morning as the kiln got hot- ter and hotter. By 1 p.m. the students were ready for lunch. While some were eating sandwiches and baked potatoes, others talked about their involvement and fasci- nation with the ancient art of the potter. Margarita Rademacher, a Brazillian wife and mother of two, spoke for the rest of the students, this addictive to the point you donlt go home? In the old world, pottery is a menial job, but here it is a respected art.. Its the most fun. Occasionally a student would pick up the ax and chop a few more chunks of wood to toss into the peep holes at bot- tom of the kiln. Orange sparks would leap from the hole, further scorching the outside of the kiln. The Pyrometer read nearly 21000. The temperature had reached 23000 by 5:30 p.m. For the next hour and a half, a few vigilant students stood out in the shadowy dusk and threw salt into the kiln. Afterwards, for the next 22 hours, the kiln was allowed to cool down. The next day around 5 p.m. the kiln was still quite warm, but the students were too anxious to wait any longer. The bricks on one side of the kiln were re- moved to form a doorway. Three stu- dents, wearing tarnished white gloves, their clothes and faces shaded in grey, began to unload the pottery. One squatted inside and handed out each piece to the other two. They in turn examined each pot for beauty and possi- ble cracks before placing it on the ground. When the last piece was removed, the students stopped to admire the blush of one pot and the luster ofanother. Finally, after weeks of waiting, their work was complete.

Mack provides his drurn majors with valuable experience. iiAt half time I go up to the press box and let the drum majors direct the band? He says there are a couple of reasons for this: first, he feels heis done everything he can do and secondly, most of the drum majors are going to be teaching after graduation and they need the experience. Music wasnit always the major interest in Mackis life. While in high school he wanted, as most boys do, to be an athlete. iiBut I didnt have the tools? he said with a grin.

Dobbins, both a playwright and direc- tor, sculpted his play to rattle the founda- tions on which loyalty has been placed in papier-mache and masking-tape rever- ence. After its five performances, audiences left the theatre, their faces long and sol- emn. Conversation was hushed. Their eyes glazed in some distant gaze, having seen that thin, ravelling edge that sepat rates loyalty from treasonean edge whose ambiguity cost the lead character his life. Before writing the play, Dobbins spent a summer or twoii researching the 1918 treason trials of Lincoln, Neb., on which he based uTake The Name of Treason? Like the treason trials, the play is set in 1918 at the University of Nebraska where a small group of professors express their opposition to American participation in World War I.

Burgy has a deep- rooted loyalty in his country and resolves to weed out all who appear disloyal. The action of the playis centered around the conflict between the two and their bea liefs. Dobbins explained, uThe whole struc- ture of the play is built around the idea that loyalty is ambiguous. Every scene is an act of betrayal or an act of loyalty, depending on how you view it? Even the final lynching of Menninger is done as an act of loyalty by the vig- ilantes. The play necessarily rotates around a philosophical axis. iiThere are two differ- ent ways of looking at life, Dobbins de- duced. iiOne holds the position that truth is relevant. What becomes moral or right becomes practical. If it accomplishes its purpose, it is moral and justifiablefi he said. This school of thought is known as pragmatism. Burgess is a pragmatist. He believes that American involvement in the war is moral because the predetermined pur- pose is to protect and preserve democ- racy. Professor turned Playwright ammo. i, . .H ,. ,7 a K; i Menninger, though, exemplifies another school of thought-that of exis- tentialism. According to Dobbinsi sum- mation, existentialism holds that iithe only thing thatis really true is what you yourself make true. The only act that can be morally responsible is faithfulness to yourself and your own beliefs? Dobbins wrote the play not as a prop- aganda piece, but rather as a work to challenge audiences to decide for them- selves which is moral or true-loyalty to a set of established beliefs or loyalty to ones own beliefs. Pragmatism or existen- tialism. Smiling, Dobbins explained his lack of bias, uI wish I knew which one I believe in; then I wouldnit have had any reason to write the play? iiTake The Name of Treasonll was cho- sen as the Missouri Western 1983 entry in the American College Theatre Festival.

Taking the place of reading assigne ments were regular impromptu scenes. In the scene, anywhere from one to five actors attempted to solve a particular acting problem. The problems ranged from points of interest to memory and physical condition to time, temperature and environment.

A professor of English here, Dr. Joseph Castellani taught English to native Afghans in the city of Kabul for 10 years between 1957 and 1967. He was there as a part of a program sponsored by Columbia University. The program which was administered through the Interna- tional Co-op Administration, was provided in an attempt to prepare a series of books for Afghan students. He found that witnessing the primitive culture of Afghanis: tan, where houses are constructed from straw and mud, was an enlightening experience. Although it has been 16 years since Dr. Castellani left Afghanistan, he still keeps a close watch on the on-going situation in the country. iiWe owe them a great debt for their resistance to the intrusion into their country? Dr. Castellani commented. iiAnd perhaps there is a time when tyranny must be met head on? Politics is probably one of the most difficult areas for a person to get their foot in the door. However, by writing a book, which was recently recommended to all U. S. embassies, Dr. Frank Kessler, professor of Social Sciences, has become very highly regarded. With the help of the Scholar Diplomat Program he was able to become involved with the State Department. 1 84iProfessors TI'W t iiProfessors were brought in from the outside to work alongside department officials.

He is presently a member of the Presidency Research Group, which is an organization of professors, former and present White Hduse staff members and members of the media.

Because the departments of art, music, speech, theatre and humanities sponsor a large number of performances and exhibits throughout the year, they are the most visible departments on campus. Dr. Jane Nelson, chairperson of the art department, said that art students are often taken on field trips to give them a better understanding of the period of art they are studying. They visit such places as the Nelson Art Gallery in Kansas City, the Albrecht Art Museum, the Spencer Museum in Lawrence, Kan., and the Jos- lyn Art Museum in Omaha, Neb. The art history students visit the St. Joseph Museum, the Patee House Museum and the Degginger Foundery to see how aluminum is cast. Among the activities the department took part in were shows by various art- ists. Included were shows by a printmaker from Southern Illinois Uni- versity, a ceramicist from the University of Iowa, a sculptorldesigner from Kansas State University, a woodcutter from Dr. Matt Gilmour, chairperson of the music department, stated that the Mis- souri Music Educators Association tMMEPQ has a yearly convention which is attended by instructors to share infor- mation with their colleagues. In January 1983 the convention was held at Tan Tara in Osage Beach, M0. The Missouri Western Symphonic Band, ac- cording to Gilmour, was extended the prestigious invitation of performing for the delegates. The music department kept busy With an average of 10 performances a month.

M SOCIAL SCIENCES 1 88Departments V Conferences highlight A BUSy Year he English and Modern Lana guage department and the So- cial Science department worked this year to better educate the student and the public as a whole. uThe English and Modern Language department has done many things this year? according to Dr. Jane Frick, Chair- man of English and Modern Languages. One of the events that the English department sponsored was the Writing Conference. It was chaired by Norma Bagnell. The speaker was Dean T. Hughes, a well known author of chil- drenls literature. The department also presented a series of lectures on various topics. This was headed by Dr. Joseph Castellani. Accord- ing to Castellani, the series was initiated by Dr. Frances Flanagan in 1972. Also, Castellani chaired the Eighth An- nual Missouri Philological Association meeting at the end of March. Poet Denise Levertov gave a reading of her poetry while Robert Heilman, a noted Shakes- peare scholar, spoke to educators gathered here from across the state. This conference was sponsored by MWSC and NWMSU. ilWe think it is an honor to be chosen this yearf? added Castellani. Communication Day and Foreign Lan- guage Day was held in April. It was c0- chaired by Ken Rosenauer and Rosemary Hoffman. Frick added that the department hopes to hire a new journalism instructor and new staff for the writing center. She would also like to see the funding to make possible the enlarging 0f the publi- cations darkroom and the addition of terminals to be used with the new photo- typesetter. Friek ended by saying that her first year as Chairman has gone very well and she hopes that next year will be even better. Chairman of the Social Science depart- ment Dr. David Steiniche said, itMost of the Changes this year was in the area of social work. uThe thing that happened in our area was the Second Annual Behavior Science Conference. Several of us were on a round table there. The conference was held in Maryvillef, he added. The social work area has been reaccre- dited by the Council on Social Work Education. It is a national group that sets and maintains standards. According to instructor Reva Allen, the department is now offering indepen- dent study class. The students receive one Credit hour for attending workshops and then writing papers on the work- shops. The department has also reinstated the Organization of Student Social Workers. tiIn the fall, we had the Purple Ribbon Movement. We also sponsored many lec- tures and seminars. One of them was a Gestalt Therapy Workshop given by Rus- sel P. Breyfogel, Jr. We offered a forum on nuclear war and a social work career information seminar? iiAlso, the Social Work Methods III class took a trip to Conception Abbey for 24 hours. It was an opportunity for self- awarenessf, Allen commented. The English and the Social Science departments have been busy this year hoping to make Classroom theory a little more relevant in the real world.

The Math, Biology and Chemistry Departa ments are no exceptions and have re- ported several changes to maintain their high standards. The Math Department will experience an addition of two new classes next year, as reported by Dr. Kenneth Lee, Chairman of the the department. Compiler Design is intended to provide a broader back- ground for computer science majors and will be taught by Dennis Steele. Formal Logic Systems is part of an elective series that will only be offered every two years. Michael Heim of the Humanities Depart- ment Will instruct the course Which of- fers logic from a philosophical view. Chris Godfrey was added to the staff this year to direct the astro- physics pro- gram. The department also began an ex periment to employ undergraduates as assistants to aid instructors in large class- es. The Biology Department will add one new course next fall and changes were approved in three other Classes, accord- ing to department head Dr. Richard Crumley. Plant Physiology will be added to supplement animal physiology which will, for the first time, offer the students a choice. The course will be finder the direction of Dr. John Rushin. Human Sexuality will be available only one semester, but will be moved to a larger room in order to accomodate everyone. Introduction to Geology has been changed to physical geology. A proposed general science minor has been accepted to accompany any B.S. degree in education. The graduate is then certified to teach high school biology, general science and physical science and thus provides a broader choice of courses to teach as well as improve job pos- sibilities. Extensive work was done on a new campus study area. Dr. Rushin headed the project that received funding from the College Foundation and the Missouri Conservation Commission for its de- velopment. Part of the project included developing a self-guiding nature trail con- sisting of information pamphlets, a wood chip path and markers. Work was also begun to develop a native prairie. The ground was burned off, plowed and reseeded last spring under the supervision of the Missouri Conservation Department with help from the Biololgy Club. The only significant change in the Chemistry Department reported by Dr. Richard Schwarz was accreditation by the Americn Chemistry Society which included upgrading Instrumental Analysis to meet ACS standards. Student instuctots have been given the opportunity to teach some lower-level classes before graduating. Approximately 70 percent of the graduates go on to graduate school. The department works closely with area chemical industries and received their financial assistance for the annual Chemathon held in March. The event drew almost 600 students from 30 area high schools. The Advanced Chemical Education Seminar was held for four weeks during June andJuly and is desiged for interested high school chemistry students. The department received a new gas chromatograph with a computerized data system. The new equipment is used to analyze mixtures and materials, both quantitative and qualitative. In addition, there are four micro computers with CAI leomputer assisted instructiony pro- grams to aid studies. Each department strives to offer the best possible equipment and instruction in order to provide the students with every opportunity to gain the knowledge and experience required in todays de- manding world.

He is blonde, intelligent and a little shy. After having two girls, his parents were probably happy to learn that the third child was a boy. But there was something wrong with Grantis spine; he was born paralyzed from the waist down. He has spent all of his 23 years in a wheelchair. If he had to be in a wheelchair, he is glad it was not because of an accident. liThatls one of the advantages of being born this way and never knowing how to walk? he said. lTve pretty well ac- cepted what I can and cannot do? There is really very little Grant cant do. His specialized van, complete with hand controls and a chair lift, gives him his independence. He lives alone in an apartment and drives to his Classes every day. Grant is a junior majoring in account- ing, but this is his first year at Missouri Western, having spent his first two years at UMKC. All American Boy Grant said that the accessibility of the two schools are both very good, and he has had few problems getting around this campus.

When he does have a problem, others are quick to help. liEveryone here is really friendly. Thatls one of the things I like about this school? One of the things that does slightly irritate this soft-spoken, easygoing man is the people who park in the spots re- served for the handicapped by shops and restaurants around town.

The only other thing that upset him was the football strike. ttI had season Graduates tickets for the Chiefs. I am a very big football fan? Although he cant play football, he does manage to keep himself in good shape. He lifts weights and plans to keep his manual wheelchair rather than trading it in for a modern electric one. liThis is really the only exercise I get? he explained. Pm afraid I might get lazy if I got an electric wheelchair? , Lazy, he is not.

No, sheis not some goody-two-shoes. Sheis just curious, thatis all. Perhaps it is her inquisitive nature that prompted Carol Cornelius to write chil- drenis literature. llIdeas come from some- thing someone says or something I seef she commented. Many of her books which deal with nature reqtiire research. The encyclopedia answers many of her questions. Her work is not limited to the natural world, but all are the product of a fertile imagination. One such book, Polka Dots, Checks and Stripes, has origins that trace back to a polka dot shirt that her husband owned. Over 25 percent of the works she has submitted have been published. III be- lieve that over 90 percent of what people write is rubbish, she said. ilEvidently this is also the belief of publishers! Carol submits her manuscripts to pub- lishers listed in the Writers Market if they indicate that they will accept unsol- icited Childrenis literature.

When his da left David f Most students wish they could perform magic at least a couple of times during each semester, like the night before that big term paper is due or at the close of the semester when two finals fall on the same day. David Sandy, freshman, cant do that kind of magic either, but he is an ac- complished magician who can mystify and impress with only his sleightaofahand. This 19 year-old student from Kidder has been performing feats of magic since he was six. His interest in magic began when his dad performed a card trick that left David fascinated and intrigued. By Making Magic coincidence, two days later he received a flyer that advertised magic tricks. David launched his career by ordering $2 worth of tricks. He began building his own illusions when he was 13. The first illusion he constructed was a cage in which a girl would magically appear. He built the cage during shop class, but worked on the secret part in his spare time. David began to get his big breaks when he was 16. He began to write and create magic crossword puzzles for two national magic magazines, iiLegerdemain and iiGeniiRi Presently, David is president of the Pony Express Magic Society that now has over 25 members. iiOne of our honorary members is 88 yearaold Dai Vernon, the Dean of Ameri- can Magicians, who is the most respected man in magic. Vernon is the man who got Doug Henning started in magic and he Visits our club 2 0r 3 times each year? Besides performing with the Pony Ex- press Magic Society, David has his own show. He has received regional publicity through St. Joseph television and news- papers. David performs nearly every month of the year, and has made appear- ances at the exclusive Magic Castle in Hollywood, Cailfornia as well as other performances closer to home. , One ofDavid,s most spectacular effects is the Houdini Mail Bag and Packing Box Escape. The act involves a regulation mailbag and handcuffs. He is handcuffed and placed in the mailbag which is then locked with padlocks. Next, David enters a wooden packing box and is then placed behind a screen where he escapes from the handcuffs, mailbag and packing box leaving the cuffs locked inside the bag and the bag locked inside the packing box. David wonlt explain how this or any other magiciansl tricks are done. tiAt the top of every magicians, code of ethics is the number one rule which is never to expose the secret of a trick. Magicians get their tricks ready-made or get ideas from books and then make the trick up out of their imagination to suit their needs. Like anything else that is worthwhile, performing magic is not easy. ttTricks have to tie in with each other. If I produce a scarf, then that scarf has to be used in the next trick. There has to be a constant flow. Routining is vitally important in organizing an act and it has to be consistent. Everything must tie inf David insists. Though David is an accomplished magician, he stressed that his magic is pure entertainment. llNone of this is done by supernatural means, he said. nThere is a trick to everything;n By Sandy Veale Magician and Illusionist David Sandy makes magic 0er at the East Hills mallaPhoto by G.

At a time When the American Mid-West seems to be suffering from spiritual stag- nation, Dotty is on the move. uI'm interested in a lot of things, and I'm always over my head with too many things to do. I can always think of projects to do. Getting them done is more difficult than thinking of what to do? Because of her many projects, her sup port of the arts and her willingness to explore the unknown and avoided, Dotty could be called a contemporary Renais- sance woman. Dotty is perhaps best known for her involvement in belly dancing. She began belly dancing when her oldest child started kindgergarten. uI decided that I needed an exercise to get me away from the house. Now, I have to do it. Fm not happy unless it is a part of my life? Still, she stresses in her calm and precise man ner, that belly dancing is a hobby and not a vocation. iiBeing a belly dancer is a rough life? For the last three to four years, she has taught belly dancing at the Y. Her classes have performed for benefits and parties. Theyive even danced at nursing homes. Last year they danced at the Performing Christensen, Glory Christie, Cathy Clark, Charles Clizer, Janice Clothier, Dorothy Cluck, Kimberly Coats, Kandie Coats, Kristie Collins, Terry Conover, Richard Constable, Violet Cooley, Lynnette Cooper, Andy Correll, Gary Coy, Carol Coy, Karen Cramer, Marcia Cramp, Brent Cruz, Carol Cureton, Jane Curtis.

Now she takes piano lessons and sings in her church choir. Of her many facets, Dotty maintains that the thing most important to me is print making. Thatls why I come to school? She has been studying art at Missouri Western for almost five years. II want to make a living as a printer. By the time my son graduates from high school, in three years, I hope to be a profit making organization as opposed to non-profit? liPrint making is exciting and frustratt ingf because for Dotty it is an art which requires the artist to have a technical knowledge as well as an artistic vision. uYou get a delayed result, so youlre never in complete control. You can never Icompletely understand it. Youlre doing all this work on this piece of metal. And you think you know whats going on. Sometimes you do and sometimes you donlt.

You learn something new on every plate you do. ill rarely use the scraper when I make a mistake. Sometimes you have to grow with a mistake and go from there. I deal with problems as they arise and develop with them. If they solve the problem, then all the struggle was worth it. The turning point at which Dotty de- cided to become a professional print maker came a couple of years ago after her Junior Review. Once a year the art department sets aside a day during which all junior art majors must display their works for the faculty to study and discuss. IIEveryone is scared to death because youlre really putting yourself on exhibit. But I came out feeling really good about what I was doing and where I was going. It was a pleasant surprise? Since then, some of Dottyis prints have been displayed in two ShOWHnC in Davenport, Iowa, and another at the Nelson Gallery-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City. uOne of the things you have to do to be an artist is enter shows and get in. People see your work and some- times you get gallery contacts? Last summer both of her entries were selected for the Mid-Four Annual Juried Art Exhibition at the Nelson Gallery. Her etchings IIZigguratii and IiBeCky Bunnyls Egyptian Heritage I, were two of the 80 pieces chosen from 900 entries pre- sented for judging. As a result, the Sales and Rental Gallery in the Nelson Gallery selected seven of her works to be framed and displayed in their shop. Also, one of the jurors 0f the exhibition, who happened to work for the Guggenheim Museum ta museum of contemporary art in New Yorkl re- quested that Dotty send some slides of her prints to the museum to be displayed for sale. Yet despite Dottyis broad spectrum of interests and her contention that Itstay- ing at home taking care of the kids and scrubbing floors is not interesting? one of the main facts of her life is her family. Dotty is married and has two children-a son, 11 and a daughter, 8. III use my kids a lot in my art; theylre a big part of my life. I really enjoy doing things with them. I bring them to art shows out here at the college as often as I can. Its an important part of their edu- cation.n Dotty hesitates and lays down a print containing a picture of her daughter.

Maude Nold, age 75, from Savannah has the same, if not more, spunk and zest for life as the aver- age 18-22 year-old college student. She is taking advantage of the opportunity to enrich her life by attending school. Maude has lived in and around the St. Joseph area since she was two years old. She is a graduate of St. Joseph Junior College and taught in rural schools in Andrew and Dekalb counties. Maude is a charter member of the Missouri West- ern Alumni Association. She has lived on a farm for 40 years. itBaCk in those days there was no electric- ity or indoor bathrooms. I had always been a city girl until then, and I had a lot of adjusting to do? she explained. tiFarm life is certainly not like it used to be; thatls for sure? Seventy-five-year-old Maude Nold, eoppositei :1 Savannah resident, is representative of the non-trad- itional older student attending Missouri Western.- Photo by S. Saving Maude, like any other grandmother, is very proud of her family. She has a son, a daughter, eight grandchildren and two great grandchildren. One of her grand- daughters is Karen Nold, a sophomore at MWSCK . Traveling is one' of Maudels favorite pastimes. She has been in all of the states except Georgia, South Carolina, and Florida. Earlier this year, Maude took her 91eyear-old uncle to Colorado and then on to New Mexico. IWe spent three days in Santa Fe studying Indian culture. It was fantastic, she said. II learned so much and we really had a good time? Maude is active in the Christian Church in Savannah where she is the president of the Womenis Guild. Other organizations she is involved in include the Runcie Club, the Tuesday Book Group, the American Association of Uni- versity Women and the Business and Professional Women. She is also the pres- ident of the Retired School Teachers As- sociation in Andrew County. This energetic woman enjoys photo- graphy and collects cook books. II have hundreds of slides from the places I have traveled and a whole wall of cookbooks? she said. uI enjoy playing the organ and I love English courses? Maude returned to school in the fall of 1981. She loves to learn, but she doesnlt attend classes in the spring be- cause of the bad weather. iiltls the walk- ing that Iim afraid of, she said. Speaking before a group and working with people is very fulfilling for Maude. In the past years she has been a 4-H Club leader and a social worker. She has been Widowed since 1976 and is anxious to help others who are newly widowed. liAfter Christmas I Will be training volun- teers for a widowed persons service. This is a support group for men and women who are newly widowedj, she said. Maude is an inspiration to both the young and the old. She is proof that life does not end at age 22, as many 18 year- olds feel, or at age 25, as many 22 year- olds think. But life goes on with many good times in store for us even after the ancient ages of 30 and 40.

Undergraduates A Skateris Dream rish Klock is a good-looking young freshman. Tall, dark-haired, and almond-eyed, she could pass herself off as a professional model. A smile flashes on her face when she talks of skating. Maybe its because shels very good at it. Very good! For this St. Louis native, the addiction began eight years ago with a Christmas gift. liOur whole family got skates that year and we went to Steinburg Park where there is a huge outdoor rink? she explains. llMom asked me if I wanted to take private lessons, but I really donit know if she knew what she was getting into, she adds. Trish attributes most of her success to one of her coaches, Randy Kline, whom she had met through mere coinci- dencefi IlShortly after I began skating, I went to this raunchy little rink in St. Charles where all the good skaters skate and I met two boys about my age. The one boy, Steve, who was 12, picked me to pair skate with him. He introduced me to his coach Mr. Kline. Steve and Trish hosted a long list of awards for their performances, including fifth seat in the nation for Junior Pair. Pair skating with Steve lasted for three years until Steve quit at 16 to pursue other interests. IiWhat really hurt about the breakup was when I saw the team that won Junior World on television. We could have been right there. But then I was forced to return to singles or find another partner for pairs? Trish still hasnlt found that partner, but she has set goals as a single skater. After graduating from high school in St. Louis. Trish heard of the superior skating rink in St. Joseph, the Bode Ice Arena on Southwest Parkway, and then decided to make a visit. With the combination of inexpensive ice-time and the contacts with other determined skaters, Trish de- cided to continue her skating career at Bode, and conveniently enough, con tinue her education at Missouri Western. Working-out religiously each day, she meets With her current coach Chris Kuna zel from Switzerland two days a week for 15 minutes. The normal fee would be one dollar per minute, but because Trish finances this by waitressing at Denny,s, Kunzel charges her less. 2 14Mndergraduates Along With the costly coaching fees, come the price of boots and blades, which Trish purchases annually. Boots will run $200 and blades $50. Majoring in leisure management, Trish would like to own a training center ex- clusively for skatersalihockey players ruin the ice? she contends. ilShe can keep the dream going. Trish is a skater who is dedicated and who has made many sacrificesf, says Jean Wyatt, y, IVI,thV4W -xw. rink coordinator at Bode. liThe doors are still open for her and if, by Chance, the right man would come along to pair skate with her-she' could go to the the top.

Shels that sparkling person you see everyday striding down various halls all across campus, snagging every third person she passes with a hearty iihow-are-yaf, Some people admire Loriis personal sincerity. Others envy her professional prudence. But most are just down right dazzled by her ability to juggle her re- sponsibilities with her fairy-godmother good deeds. One free afternoon while sitting in the stark oftice she shares with two other public relations writers, Lori, with a slight flourish of her hand, shared a condensed itHow Are Ya? version of her theory of personal worth. iTve found that no matter how busy you are, if you donit take time to talk to people and get to know them, what youire doing is not worth anything? Lori leaned forward, her elbows re- laxed on the grey steel of her desk, and explained, IiMy reasoning behind going into public relations is to help other people . iiMy job here has made me realize that besides helping myself, I can help a lot of other people. This job has helped me to find that balance-to get along with people and get work done? Lori began working in the public rela- tions department as a sophomore.

Now, at age 20, shelteaches young children to twirl. uTeaching is a joy. Out of a core of 20 twirlers, one of the six-year olds won first at national competition and six of them won first at state, she proudly commented. Heidi began competing at age seven and competition has taken her all across the country and abroad. She also twirls for the Marching Golden Griffons. During the fall of 1982, she was selected from among 10,000 entrants to be one of the six to represent the United States in Peru. She gave special perfora mances and participated in parades. llThey were having their spring festival and the whole country was involved. It was like a dream. They treated us really well? Heidi remarked, llWe even had body guards? Last July, she was judged in competi- tion against 40 top college baton twirlers at Notre Dame University and was voted fourth runner-up in the Miss Majorette of America contest. Heidi was Miss Majorette of theMid-West in 1980 and has been on the US Twirling Team since 1978. llTwirling is like a sport. Ilve practiced at least two hours a day during the school year and six to eight hours daily in the summer to prepare for competition? In addition to performing, she also judges competitions. Judging is based on solo twirling, strutting, modeling and ver- bal interviews. The last coach she had was Debby Schessing. Heidi flew to Chicago once a month for three-hour lessons solely for the benefit of the expertise of this former University of Iowa baton twirler who is regarded as one of the top instructors in the United States. After graduation with a major in elementary education, Heidi aspires to open her own studio, but by instructing over 30 students in her home, it seems she already has.

The Fit- ting and Showmanship Contest, held dur- ing fall semester, involved student par ticipants who, in two weeks, prepared animals to be shown and then judged. The Livestock Judging Contest was or- ganized by the Ag Club for area members of 4-H and Future Farmers of America. The club finished the year With its annual awards banquet.

The society has between 20-25 stu- dents and has shown signs of continuing to grow. Micro Display has become a serious topic of discussion among the members of the society. Micro Display, according to Kelly, is a consumeris level of introduction. Kelly has two different methods of assisting the members with their educa- tion. He either works with each student individually, or he breaks them up into different sections within the society. A normal section paired those students with more ability with those students who have certain difficulties which was helpful to both groups. This set-up al- lowed the students with the lesser ability to progress forward. The societyis goal is to give each stu- dent the opportunity to improve their scholastic record. The Biology Club co-sponsored the MiAiSiH party which was successful. The club also presented a Science Fair which consisted of junior high judging and the Juunior Academic Science Fair for junior high students. It also presented the District Science Fair for high school students. A seminar from the Missouri Conserva- tion Department was there to give facts on how to maintain the prairie grasses by the burning of the grass to plant and preserve new growth. The club is wanting to do everything possible to benefit the college as well as the community, commented Kelly. Although just formed last semester, the American Chemistry Society has made a lot of progress. Mathew Carver is the sponsor of the Chemistry Society. A number of events including a picnic, the Chemathon and a canoe trip were sponsored by the club. .Dr. Bassam Sakhashire, a chemistry professor, lectured on several types of reactions during an experiment with clock reactions. The experiment con- sisted of the mixing of different chemi- cals. The result from the mixure was the changing of color from the water from clear to a dark blue color. These organizations provided ac- tivities for their members that were also beneficial to other students. By Cole Cox by 8.

Representatives from Miller Brewing Company and 3-M Cor- poration in Boston attended to offer pro- fessional perspectives on the issue. The Student Accounting Society offers its membership to any business student, but the majority of its 20aplus members are accounting students. President Paul Pioch stated that their objectives are to provide a further understanding of ac- counting principles, its theory and prac- tice. The Student Accounting Society was organized in 1977 and meets bi-monthly. They are involved with the National Asa sociation of Accountants in St. Joseph. The NAA provides the students a working relationship with local professionals. Area college students participated in the annual Accounting Day last fall. It provided an opportunity for interested individuals to acquaint themselves with current practices in the accounting Iield as well as discussions with professional accountants. An accounting forum became a new event on campus this spring with the emphasis on theory issues. Phi Beta Lambda has an identity prob lem according to President Tim Fry. It seems as though this business organiza- tion has been mistakenly looked on as another fraternity. The group is a local chapter of a national organization open to anyone enrolled in a business or data processing course. The members view themselves as a service organization that strives to promote leadership, free enter- prise and academic achievement. Phi Beta Lambda was organized in 1969, and in 1971 boasted the largest membership of the north-central region. There are currently 25-30 members. The state conference was held on April 15-16. Local representatives competed with their peers on a variety of business related subjects. Winners at the state level advanced to the nationals held in San Francisco during the summer. Field trips included tours of Hallmark in Liberty, Mo., and the Federal Reserve Bank in Kansas City, Mo. These organizations offer students an extra perspective in their field that would otherwise be unavailable.

There is more to Griffon Rifles than just guns. They also assisted in both spring and fall enrollment and offer a variety of extracurricular activities aC- cording to their commanding officer, First Lieutenant Steve Showalter. Most of their 20 members are active and interested in ROTC because they plan to be officers and make the army 21 career. Consequently, the Wednesday night activities are geared to attract ROTC cadets and prepare them for basic and advanced camp. In addition, they are introduced to military training and trad- ition. These labs provide the cadets hands-on training. These activities arenit limited to milit- ary training, but also include courses on first aid, communication and rappelling. Anyone who might be interested in these activities is welcome to attend. A group of 24 attended the FI'X tField Training Exercisey at Ft. Leavenworth in November. The exercise included train- ing on squad tactics, movement and bivouac, an army term for campout. The maintenance of equipment and personal gear was another focal point. Ten members joined together to prac- tice rappelling on the MWSC tower in March. Another popular activity was a canoe trip April 15-17 near Ft. Leonard Wood, Mo. This trip provided instruction on canoeing, rappelling and orienteering. Another military associated group at MWSC is the Griffon Guard for anyone enrolled in a ROTC Class.

Another objective is to support college recruitment through call out. Their on-going objective is to support ROTC enrollmenUretention activities through FTX, ROTC Day and basic camp informational booths that offer a no obli- gation look at the army. The spring formal was held April 22 in the Officers Club at Ft; Leavenworth. It was the main activity of the spring semes- ter with everyone in dress uniform. Alpha Phi Omega had a new beginning on campus this year after suffering previ- ous failure in 1971 when it was short lived. It is a local chapter of the national service fraternity which boasts the largest membership of any national fraternity, largely because it is co-ed. The local group has 19 members including two women. According to Pledge Marshall .Steve Petty, their primary goal is to become the largest fraternity on campus. Through current association with Camp Gieger and InteraServ, they strove to live up to their motto, iiBe a leader, be a friend, be of service. They worked with the Boy Scouts at Camp Gieger and helped with repairs on a day care center through Inter-Serv. The group met weekly on Thursdays at seven in CC 201 and plan to stay active over the summer to plan for next year. Four members attended the National Convention Dec. 14 in Kansas City. The Sectional Convention was held April 9 in Springfield with several representatives attending. Although Alpha Phi Omega is a service fraternity, plans have been made to host a number of social events in 1983-84.

David Dye, who is sponsoring the Lawyers Assistant Soci- ety for the second consecutive year, has made many changes within the society to enable each student to become a more intelligent lawyer. One of the most important days which took place this past year was Law Day. It involved an appreciation reception for all attorneys Who have supported the program and helped make it such a suc- cess. Media coverage of Law Day helped the students across campus realize what type of activities took place in the soci- cry. The society tried to show its members how Law Assistants are having to adjust the way in which they use their profes- sional abilities to help the people for Whom they work. The law profession is becoming more difficult each year. Due to the challenges faced by the assistant, they become more self reliant. Dye would like to develop a better visibility and a more difficult curriculum for the students, hoping both will ensure success for the student.

The city police department was the main attraction at the banquet The police department demonstrated a polygraph test and the use of a radar gun. Bake sales also became an important part of the organization as fund raising pro- jects. The bake sales provided money for special events such as the regional con- ference. The conference is held each year to allow organizations from different colleges to show the achievements and skills that have been developed through- out the year. Jill Miller commented, tiThe sales went very well last year? She went on to say that she expects to continue the sales next year. .

The name has been Changed from the Social Work Club to the Organization of Student Social Workers tOSSWl The Social Work Club was originated in 1971 but grew stagnant by 1979. In 1982, by popular demand this organiza- tion was revived by social work students who sought to provide rewarding pro- jects to benefit the college and the com- munity. These students also rewrote the constitution to better comply with ac- tivities in the 805. Among the projects sponsored by OSSW were two booths at the campus carnival, a public debate on the nuclear arms race, a speaker on uSocial Work and Political Activityii and the provision of supplies for the Transitional Living Center and the Oakridge Housing de- velopment. A program on the Prevention of Al- coholism was also held prior to the Dorm Council Dance in which OSSW served non-alcoholic beverages and handed out information on the effects of alcohol. The Social Work Career Information Seminar was held March 11 to inform students and guests on the career oppor- tunities of social workers. This years officers were President Ruthie Zupan, Vice President Natalie Thompson-Clizer, Treasurer Jany Brunscher, Secretary Terri Cooley and Reporter Sharon Blake. The clubs spon- sor was Reva Allen. Student nurses at MWSC met once a month throughout the school year. The organization brought in guest speakers including a hypnotist and a cancer pa- tient, who spoke on the psychological effects of cancer. Most of the 1982-83 school year was spent preparing for the National Student Nursing Association Convention held in Baltimore, Md. in April for which a repre- sentative was sent from MWSC. Officers were President Linda Ross, Vice President Helen Coch, Secretary Sandy Price, Treasurer Pam Osborn and Sponsor Bonnie Saucier. Officers for the Psychology Club for 198283 were President Gloria Given, Vice President Corene Easley, SecretaryV Treasurer Janice Fadden and Sponsor Dr. Phillip Wann. This club was developed to serve as a grounds for psychology students to get acquainted with one another. The students held a hayride at the beginning of the year and near the end of the year held their annual dinner where the top psychology student was awarded a plaque and a certiiicate. The 1982-83 school year kept the Or- ganization of Student Social Workers quite active while the student nurses and Psychology Clubis activities were rather limited. By Debbie Waggoner Learning About Lifestyles he International Reading Associa- tion and the International Stu- dentsi Organization provide an opportunity for the students to learn about the lifestyles in other countries. The International Reading Association is composed of a state reading council and regional councils. iiOur regional council is made up of Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa and Minnesota. Then there are the local chapters and the on- campus studentsi Chapter? said Dr. Mar- vin Marion, sponsor of the association. The association is open to any student in Elementary and Secondary Education; however, most of the members are in elementary. The members are quite active. Each year the students send delegates to the spring conference, which was held in Kansas City this year. There, the delea gates vote on constitutional amendments as well as the officers for the following year.

The lectures were provided to enable the students to learn different techniques and gain a better understanding of what theaching is really like. The officers of the association were President Teresa Arnold, Vice President Mary Strikes, Secretary Brenda Farmer and Treasurer Cora Besco. According to Marion, iiThe Interna- tional Reading Association is concerned with reading, so I encourage all students that are going to be teachers to join? iiThe International Students Organizaa tion? according to Dorothy Mirriani, counselor, Twas founded to give foreign students a chance to find out about this country and to exchange information about their respective countries. This year the organization went bowla ing, played miniature golf and had a ping pong tournament. They also sponsored lectures for the student body and the public. iiThe reason that most of these students are here is for one of three reasons, explained Mirriani. liThe low tuition, the low crime rate or the need for certain selected majors in their countries. After their eduction is finished they must re- turn to work in their countries. The members of the club come from Nigeria, Canada, Iran and Kenya. liThis is the first year we have had a student from Communist China, Jueli Gujl said Mir- riani. TTShe is now a violinist with the St. Joesph Symphony? The president of the organization is Felix Agu from Nigeria.

During Communications Day, which was held April 7, they provided chauffeuring and other services for the people involved. They submitted a grant request for funds to help them cover the expenses they incurred during their par- ticipation in Communications Day. On Friday, May 13, they sponsored a Communications Banquet at the Swiss Chalet to show their appreciation to all students involved in campus publications throughout the year. The Club, along with the Griffon Year- book, entered a float in the truck cate- gory of the Homecoming Parade. Their theme was Take the Griffon Challenge, and indeed they did. Their float took first place! Rosemary Hoffman, sponsor of Le Cer- cle Francais, stated that their club has no dues and the membership is open to the students. The primary source of mem- bers for the club comes from the French classes. This fall they had a dinner at Bluffwoods State Park and served French cuisine and had a guest speaker from France. They also took an excursion to Kansas City to view the film iiDivaf, At Christmas, they had a breakfast at Swiss Chalet and were served the tradi- tional Christmas morning meal. This event was attended by nearly 50 people, including MWSC students and faculty plus nine French speakers from the coma munity. They also held two crEpe sales on the campus as fundraisers.

The officers of Sigma T au Delta were President Pat Clark, Vice President Troy Ruch, Secretary Lori Roberts, Treasurer Karen Akers and Historian Shirley Ward. Isabel Sparks was the sponsor. This organization had only one money making project this year and that was the selling of poinsettas. Sigma Tau Delta assisted the MWSC English department at the Fall Confer ence, served as guides for new students at registration and provided a door prize on Communications Day. Other events included a reception for speaker Denise Levertov, a Christmas party, and the initi- ation and election of new members for the spring. 240tOrganizations Sponsor Isabel Sparks, who is the Na- tional Oflicer for the English Honor Soci- ety, installed an English Honor Society Chapter at Washburn University in To- peka, Ks. The initiation team from MWSC was invited to Washburn to initiate the members of this new chapter. The purpose of Sigma T au Delta is to further the study and appreciation of literature and to recognize good students in that area. Kappa Delta Phi was not as active as Sigma Tau Delta but worked in several activities which benefitted the college. A telephone student recruiting cam- paign went underway in 1982. This came paign was introduced to high school stu- dents who had shown interest in attend- ing Missouri Western State College. Kappa Delta Phi members contacted sev- eral of these students to encourage their enrollment at MWSC. This organization also held a reception for the faculty in the Education depart- ment. The officers were President Julie Pow- ell, Vice President Ruth Nickle, Secretary Alison Worley, Treasurer Julie Sherwood and Historian Vicki Barton. The sponsor was Dr. Don Mahaffey. Members of Kappa Delta Phi must maintain a 3.2 grade point average and must possess strong leadership ability in the field of education. The members of both Sigma Tau Delta and Kappa Delta Phi were of great help to the MWSC faculty in 1982-83.

This years officers included Nancy Whitsell, president; Carla Schultz, Vice- president; Amy Sutton, secretaryitrea- surer; and Doreen Saftle, historian. These students led the company through long rehearsals and numerous engagements. Performances were held for the State Physical Education Convention, the Re- naissance Christmas Dinner and the St. Joseph Womenis Division of the Chamber of Commerce. This group also danced the route of the MWSC Home- coming Parade and held two on-carnpus concerts. The first on-campus concert was performed for three consecutive nights in January and involved 18 sepa- rate dances. The second concert was performed May 5 for the public. Although the company did participate in money making projects, the whole intent of the company was to publicize and promote the arts. Money made throughout the year was put back into the company to purchase costumes. ttDance is nothing more than basic locomotive movement to music? said sponsor Vicki Keegstra, who added, 1Dance is enjoyable? If you saw a walking paintbrush on Carnival Day, during the fall semester it was not your imagination, but a member of the Student Art League. Members of the Student Art League were headed by President Nancy Steeb, Vice-President Ron McGarry, Secretary Deb Mitzelfelt and Tresurer Cindy Fry, for the 1982-83 school year. The major goal of the members was to raise enough money to attend the Vatican Art Exhibition at the Chicago Art Insti- tute in September of 1983. Money mak- ing projects developed for this reason were an organized art sale in December and several bake sales throughout the year. Other events included a trip to the Renaissance Festival in Bonner Springs, a MtAtStH party and a visit to the Joslyn Art Museum in Omaha. The purpose of the Student Art League is to promote a better understanding of art and to provide personal enrichment for its members and members of the community.

The main function of the l4-member CAB is to plan and coordinate activities for the student body. Some of the activities this year were various dances, speakers, singers, magi- cians, MtATStH Night and Casino Night. Composed of 20 senators, the job of the SGA is to see that things get done, gather studentsl opinions, conduct inves- tigations, if necessary, and then present their findings to the administration. As the representative body for all stu- dents, the SGA has the sole responsibility of recognizing all new clubs. uMy biggest project this year was the Senate newsletter. I have been working very hard on it. With it, we want to inform the students of the exact purpose of our organization and what we are doing? commented SGA PresidentJackie Kennedy. llWe are also in the process of sending letters to the other institutions to find out what they think of us and our programs? The Dorm Council works primarily to supply entertainment for the dorm stu- dents. The three elected officers are the President Rick Gove, ViceePresident Brent Baird and Treasurer Lori Hoskins. Also included are 12 resident assistants who are Chosen by Dorm Coordinator Mel Tyler. This year, the Council sponsored such activities as an air band contest, pizza- eating parties, roller and ice skating par- ties, bowling, sledding and Dorm Daze. They also sponsored Parentsl Day, which saw more than 500 parents Visit campus.

Fankhauser Ail Organizationst243 Sharing Lives and Love tudents at MWSC have sev- S eral organizations available to them that promote interest in spiritual fellowship and activities. They provide an outlet from the strains and rigors of college life. The Fellowship of Christian Athletes is the newest of such organizations, having just received its Charter this year. There seems to be some confusion abOut mem- bership requirements. FCA is not limited to athletes, but instead welcomes anyone who feels a need for Christian fellowship. The current membership is somewhere between 25-30. President Nick Stutesman reported that FCAls purpose is nto present to athletes and coaches, and all whom they influence, the Challenge and adventure of receiving Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, serving Him in their relationships and in the fellowship of the church? The group met on Thursday evenings for a time of sharing lives and love. Pro- Offe rin issouri Western offers an or- ganization for almost any reli- gious affiliation. These groups give students an alternative to other cam- pus organizations. The Wesley Foundation is sponsord by the United Methodist Churches in the area. According to Wesley President Michel Kieffer, the organization offers social and spiritual growth through ac- tivities in a Christian atmosphere. The group met on Tuesday evenings at 6:30 in the Deer Park Methodist Church. Every other Tuesday, part of the group prepared a meal that was offered for a one dollar donation. These evenings also included a business meeting. The other Tuesdays were reserved for Bible studies. Future plans include a weekly Bible study on Sunday nights with the business meeting to remain on Tuesday. 244lOrganizations grams included movies, guest speakers and group activities. The Christian Campus House opened its doors weekly on Monday evenings until they moved on campus in March and became the Christian Campus Minis- try. According to its campus minister, Jim Stockberger, CCM,s objective is itto make MWSC students aware of Christ and to have Christ as a basic part of their lives? Stockberger encourages anyone hav- ing problems with lifets struggles to con- tact CCM and seek to solve the problem. The Baptist Student Union is directed by Ron Wynne, campus minister, and offered food and fellowship every Tues- day evening at 5:30. Everyone is wel- come and encouraged to attend. President Kay Dellinger reported that BSU has two main objectives. One is to help people find their identity through relationships with God and their fellow man. The other is to help them achieve a full and meaningful life through Chris- tian fellowship. A welcome party, especially for freshmen, was held at the beginning of the school year. The State Convention was held Sept. 24-26 with BSU groups throughout the state. The Mid-Winter Retreat featured Benny Clark on Jan. 28- 29. A mission team journeyed to Weber State College in Utah during spring break to help promote the BSU there. Three members also biked across Missouri to raise funds for summer missions. There are an abundance of Christian centered activities at MWSC for students to participate in when they realize a need that cannot be fulfilled anywhere else.

A monthly social activity was offered on a weekend night that provided a variety of activities to promote interest. They held a party to kick off the fall semester that featured a four foot sandwich and volleyball. A retreat was also a part of the August events to gener- ate interest for incoming students. On campus activities included a cookie sale to raise money for projects. They also helped with the food committee at Homecoming to make sandwiches for the band students. A banana split party on April 12 at the College Center offered students all they could eat for a quarter. Its purpose was to raise awareness and promote membership. Their plans for the summer were to sponsor a tiMotheris Day Out'i at Deer Park Methodist Church on Fridays. The idea was to give mothers in the area an opportunity to leave their children for a minimal fee and provide the children with crafts and entertainment. The Newman Club is a Catholic stu- dent organizaton that is also open to all. President Mark Bensing reported the function of the club is to offer students a place to go off campus. Mass was held at 10:30 and 6 olclock on Sundays and at noon and 7:50 on Days of Obligation. The club was open 24 hours a day with consultation privileges available. It also provided students a place to do their cooking. The club membership is be- tween 25-30 and meets weekly for Sun- day dinner with one Sunday night each month set aside for meetings.

All these organizations offer students a chance to make new friends and participate in extracurricular activities.

The writing staffs of the Griffon News and the Griffon were told in early Sep- tember to share the Video Display Termi- nal tVDTl ttT'here were some problems at first trying to get a schedule that was work- able for both staffs, but nothing serious? cemented Gary Brotherton, managing editor of the Griffon. llIf they were run- ning late on a deadline, we tried to help out by letting them have time on our day, and vica versa. f The VDT enabled both publications to prepare the copy 'for paste-up them- selves, thus cutting expenses. In the past the copy was typeset by the publisher t the St. Joseph Newsmress for the news- paper and Hunter Publishing Co. for the yearbooky. uIt cut our publishing expenses consid- erably, but it also prolonged the produc- tion time? stated David Sandy, editor of the yearbook. Kevin Echterling, editor of the news- paper, felt differently about the acquisia tion of the typesetter. TlIt saved us a lot of time and worry. uFor the first couple of months at the beginning of the year it was hectic be- cause it was so new and different. There were so many things that I and the other editors had to learn how to do that it was somewhat confusing. Training people to use it was difficult, but the more they used it, the easier it became? said Echterling. The writers werenlt the only staff members who were told to share. At the start of the spring semester the news- paper and yearbook staffs began sharing the same photography staff. llIt cut down on the rivalry between our staffs, and it gave us the opportunity to work Closer together and thus share our knowledge? said Marvin Fankhauser, photo editor.

When the staffs were combined in Jan- uary, less than half of the 14 students on staff had had any darkroom experience. Recognizing this problem was easier than correcting it. Fankhauser and Scott Sav- ing, photo coordinator for the news- paper, set up a four week training session. ttAfter those four weeks the photo- graphers were able to go out and take pictures according to journalistic stan- dards,n commented Fankhauser. The combined staffproved to be more economical than having separate staffs. Whereas in the past four photographers were sent to cover an event ttwo for the newspaper and two for the yearbookl with the combined staff only two were assigned. ttWe provide the students an on the job learning experience, summed up Fankhauser.

This year, Sigma Kappa participated in many activities including the Intramural All-Nighter. They visited the Green Acres Rest Home and hosted parties for the elderly. At the YMCA, they helped with the disabled sports program. Their Homecoming float placed third. According to President Julie Scott, iiOur float has placed every year we have par- ticipated. liWe also had a raffle for a 1-minute shopping spree at Food 4-Less. We were extra lucky this year because the winner gave all of the food to the Noyes Home? Scott said.

The officers for Phi Mu were President Lesley Hallingworth, Vice President Anita Schaff, Secretary Lisa Craig, Treasurer Marille Steeb, Membership Director Mitzi Klukvin, Phi Director Kim Cooper, Panhallenic Director Jan Rau and the Ethics Chairman Tracy Hicklin. Hallingworth thinks that the sorority is needed to get people to open up. iiTo get girls involved in activities, any activ- ity, as a group is a good experience? she commented. Phi Sigma Epsilonis Little Sisters helped with many of their big brothersi ac tivities. They served the beer and fixed the food at the Luau. The little sisters also helped with serving at the New Muse sio Benetti Party. This year, the Phi Sigma Epsilonsi for- mal was held in Kansas City at the Holiday Inn. According to President Jennifer Brooks, iiWe hope to do something for the children at the Noyes Horne. Perhaps we can take them on a picnic in the park. The Phi Sigma Epsilon Little Sisters officers were President Jennifer Brooks, Vice President Maggy Kottman, Secretary Deanna Moore and Treasurer Angie Peterson. Brooks commented, Til think this kind of organization is a special part of the college. Because this is mostly a suitcase college, it is hard to get into the swing. Through these groups, the girls are given opportunities they usually wouldnit get. They share in a common sense of belong- ing? All three of the organizations serve for three purposes: U to serve the girls by giving them a common bond; 2a to serve the college by promoting most of the activities on campus; 3 to serve the community, such as the Noyes Home, not only with funding, but with time.

Fankhauser normal college day sees the stu- dent juggling his time between doing homework, going to class, working part-time jobs and attending social activities. Some students add still another time consuming activity by pledging to a fraternity. Western presently has three frater- nities, which is one more than last year due to the addition of Sigma Tau Gamma. Brett Lofton stated that llthe Sig Tauls are just getting started. They are still a col- ony working toward their eharterization, which they hope to receive no later than December 1983. There is a possibility that they could get it sooner, but money is a hampering factor. This fraternity originally tried to get started in April of 1982, but the attempt fell through. The national governing body wanted to try again, so in January another attempt was made, but this time with better results. Between the initial members and the new members, the Sig Tauls have a membership total of 18. This year they have met on their own with fundraising activities taking most of their time. They held two under-21 dances and a Kids Day carnival with assorted booths at the Ramada Inn to raise money for the Easter Seals Society. They also participated in Greek Week and sold Kansas City Kings basketball tickets at reduced prices. ttLamda Chi Alpha, in their eleventh year at Missouri Western, is now sporting 22 membersf stated Rick Euler, presi- dent of the organization. He reported that in October, they held their annual Beef -N- Beer Bust and the Haunted Forest which netted them enough money to allow a 81500 donation to the Noyes Home. A banquet was also held in con nection with this fundraiser. The frater- nity joined the Children from the Noyes Home in two picnics. They sponsored two bloodmobiles for the students, one in the fall and another in the spring. They also hosted a KC. Royals raffle ticket drive as a fundraiser. Mark Lang, president of Tau Kappa Epsilon, stated that they held their annual Red Carnation Ball this year at the Swiss Chalet. This formal dinnertdance ban- quet was attended by active members, alumni and the TKE Little Sisters. Also, they collected donations for Muscular Dystrophy as they have in the past. They held a Hawaiian Party at the TKE house before it was torn down. They are also active in IGC Unner Greek CounciD and participated in Greek Week. When not working or studying, mem- bers of these three organizations donated their time and energy to help those in need.

The Phi Sigs came close to perfection with their presentation of their annual Luau party. In the set-up of the party the Phi Sigs found more luck than they had in the previous year by way of getting full co- operation with the new owner of Horse- shoe Lake and the St. Joseph Police De- partment. ttHorseshoe Lakeis new owner, Carol Young, is more than happy to assist any college functions at Horseshoe Lake,u said Todd Maxwell, Phi Sig president. Maxwell also stated that he spoke to the St. Joseph Police Department and assured them that there would be no trouble. The police happily gave consent, which was a complete reversal from the hassle exepresident Mike Bushnell received last year. Ater being blessed with a place and Clearance with the cops, Maxwell and the Phi Sigs easily arranged for the ship- ment of 20 kegs from the local Falstaff brewery, and for the band, Mesa, to pro- vide entertainment. Maxwell and crew arrived three hours prior to the official start of the party to set up and drag over trash cans, plus a few picnic tables. Prior assessments of the party by Max- well were favorable. He said that he ex- pected approximately five to six hundred people, and that no serious trouble would occur. ttThe only problem that may arise can only come from the weather? stated Maxwell. Maxwellls prophecy came true as it turned out the party did attract almost five hundred people despite a biting wind that sliced through the crowd. Sixteen kegs were estimatd to have been con- sumed, and there was no trouble, with the exceptions of one bogus lldisturbing the peacell call and the outbreak of a small fight. All things considered, the party came out quite well according to many par- ticipants. One can rest assured that many people went home feeling much better than when they arrived. Even when the party was over there was more work to be done. Nothing quite matched the experience of waking up the next morning, only to realize that you have to scrape the sleep from your eyes, shave yourtongue, and Clean-up the mess. Maxwell had mentioned before the party that he expected ten for clean- up duties--two showed up. , After picking up and burning the trash, moving back the tables, and organizing the kegs, Maxwell gave some reflection on the party. ttAside from all the cost and the effort to break even, having a good time is what our party is all aboutlli Looking back at the llrestoredll site of the party, the cleanup crew felt confi- dent that they had a good time even if they dont remember exactly what hap- pened during the Luau that took place years ago last night.

The frills for ones hard earned $4.00 were 1,000 hamburgers, 35 kegs of Pabst Blue Ribbon, and a local rock band. The night air was crisp. Three layers of clothing did not keep it from chilling t0 the bone. Two bon fires were lit to help ward off hypothermia. The brilliant firelight kept clowns in remission. The usual harmless craziness lacked tremendously. The crowd was comatose-even while the band played. Along with the anre mentioned Change in iimoodii came Changes wel- comed by both the fraternity and college students who attended the Bust: a change in the admission policy and, related to that, a reduction in local high schoolers in attendance. Responsibility is something rarely seen in fraternities. Most frats work hard to keep up the rowdy and carefree TTAnimal Housei, image. The Lambda Chiis showed more than just a twinge of responsibility when they changed their admission policy to one where patrons had to be a college student or at least 21 years of age. Previous parties were open to anyone who had the price of admission, serving Bust 82 mainly to underage drinkers who had no other place to get inebriated. As a result of the policy change, attena dance was down. In addition, the amount of problems expected to accompany a field full of alcohol-consuming college students went down. This pleased President Rick Euler, TI think it went a lot smoother because of the change in admission policy? The main reason for the fraternityis change in attitude, according to Euler, came about as a result of talk last year of a law suit when a high school kid got into a fight and was injured. Still, the brothers Chose to provide their own security. 0W6 have trouble with people trying to sneak in and smok- ing pot, but thatis about itfi Euler added. hWe had a couple of light bulbs broken in the parking lot at American Family Insurance, but it was taken care of with no real problems? Contrasting the destruction of a few light bulbs with last years incident in- volving several of the company,s win- dows, it appears that Lambda Chi had the situation under control. Few organizations, especially frater- nities, are willing to give up potential earnings in order to adopt more feasible plans for their activities.

Another volleyball game took place in the center of campus. A street dance was held that evening on Northeast College Drive, near the dormitories. Music was provided by a Kansas City disc jockey. A sleeping bag contest, held Thursday in the center of campus, had participants, one male and one female, both get into the sleeping bag and exchange clothing. The clothing exchanged was a shirt and shorts worn on the outside of their regular clothes. The Phi Sigma Epsilon fraternity held their annual Mussio Bennetti allaschool party Friday.
