Ohio University - Athena Yearbook (Athens, OH)

Text from Pages 1 - 280 of the 1986 volume:

ORGANIZATIONS Organizations helped to create the oolar that gives OU a unique edge over other universities in the state or nation. Residents of the city of Athens are important to OU and even play a part in the Homecoming celebration before the game. COMMUNITY PEOPLE OU would not exist without people. Students, professors and administrators were the keys to the many adventures that make life in A-town a time to remember. 1 986 Athena Ohio University Athens, Ohio 45701 Volume 81 Literally going off the wall that forms Lindley Hall is a member of ROTC. US Title Page — 1 Kimberly L. Shaff I found out there is going to be a party with a really great band this weekend. Where did you hear that? I got the information off the wall. What wall? The wall that runs along Richland Ave. It ' s behind Bentley Hall. There ' s something new on it almost everyday. Oh that wall, I don ' t pay much attention to it. Well you should. There is alot of info on what ' s happening on campus. This conversation demonstrates the source of information a cement wall can be. No one really knows when the wall was first painted, only that it is a tradition for students to use as a medium for their expression. Usually the wall is used for announcing campus events, messages of love and greetings to friends. At times though the wall has become a device for political expression with Lessons in American Thought in the Winter of 1985. The messages that came off the wall are just a small part of the off the wall happenings here in Athens. Every school year and quarter begins with the mayhem of the Convocation Center. Waiting in lines to get classes that students were closed out of. Then the rearranging that took some twenty minutes to 3 hours to finally perfect. Even then it might not be exactly as the student wished. Later in the fall, there was Halloween to look forward to. Many fellow college students from other schools have come up to OU students and wanted to know about that crazy party we have. It can be a fun time, but unfortunately is plauged by outbursts of violence and arrests. The party was given some consideration by local 2 — Openi Representing Ohio University at all athletic functions is the Bobcat who takes a moment to entertain a little OU fan.

They tried to make the best of the yearly event by sponsoring a Madi Gras Party to get people off the streets, where most of the trouble occurs. Homecoming is another event celebrated in a unique OU style. A parade started the day with participants from the school, alumni and the surrounding community. Green and white was flown wherever possible and all the pleasures of being part of higher education were experienced. The OU class schedule started later in the fall than most colleges and with the quarter system, Christmas break was quite a treat. It lasted from Thanksgiving til the first of the new year. This gave students a chance to work or be leisure with time for travel. Academics are what brings most students to college and here the standards are high. Ohio University is known for its Communication and Journalism programs as well as for the research facilities of the Osteopathic College. There was an increased interest in the Business College, so the college had to increase requirements for entry. Spring quarter was ten weeks that students looked forward to. Those returning from a spring break in the sunbelt flashed their tans and took on the Athens weather with a smile. Unusual to Athens was almost summer weather to begin Spring, but it didn ' t last long as temperatures fell to near freezing. Besides just beautiful weather, Spring quarter offered students organized weekends on each of the greens. The first was East Green which was followed by West Green Mom ' s Weekend, South Green and the topper Springfest. Throughout Winter and Spring students joined together to raise money to support the event that promised bands, beer, and fun in the sun. A hot day helped to sell the most kegs of beer ever at an OU Springfest. These are just a few of the features that make Ohio University unique to the state, the surrounding community, its students and faculty. The messages and announcements that were read off the wall were a part of this uniqueness and helped to tell the story of OU ' s off the way ways.

After class students participated in the Halloween celebration, Homecoming, fashion, going to shows and all the green weekends to the finale with Springfest and Graduation. All of these things made up the campus life of Ohio University plus much more. Campus life was the goings-on after class. Meeting with friends at the dorm, at a friend ' s apartment, or even at a favorite uptown bar was part of this. These were the things that made college memorable and easier to work through. The friends that the students made here would be the ones that last a lifetime. Along with these private gatherings were the many organized events throughout the year. Homecoming was the first, with many student organiza- tions taking part in the festivities by helping with the parade and receptions all over campus. The Performing Artist Series brought the names of Maynard Ferguson, Rosalind Newman Dancers, National Theater of the Deaf, and Le Ballet Trocadero De Monte Carlo with others throughout fall, winter, and spring quarter. Lectures were organized by Student Lecture Series and the Ohio University Theater performed Seascape, The Corn is Green, The Hostage and others. All of these performances formed the culture of the campus. Spring quarter was the busiest. Fun in the sun made any endeavor more exciting. There was the annual Beach Party to raise money for Springfest, OU ' s Party . Each Green took a weekend and planned different events including bands, beer and a variety of entertainment. Part of Ohio University was the Greek community who began their year with rush. Throughout the year they had programs for their groups and the community. Examples of these programs where The Big Splash and the annual Greek Week competition. The year would not have been complete without graduation and this graduation was marked by being the year that the class of 1986 had their names indivdually called as opposed to just the college being recognized. All of these things that were off the record made campus life off the wall. litest -4 i - -♦ .- ■ v Campus Life Divider — i Unknown Filled with creativity Athens ' celebration Every year around the end of October, Athens experiences an invasion. The in- vaders of Ohio University and Athens wear a wide assortment of disguises, come in a variety of shapes, sizes and ages and take over Court Street for a night. This annual event has come under many titles: The Court Street take-over, the Mardi Gras of the Midwest, and All Hallow ' s Eve, just to name a few. However, by far the most popular name though, is Halloween. Halloween has its roots in ancient celebration of All Hallow ' s Eve. Pagans used this day to placate restless spirits and protect themselves from the evil ones for another year. Athen ' s Halloween party only vaguely resembles the ancient tradi- „ tion. The costumed participants are con- J cerned with having fun and only alcoholic % spirits are thought of. ,_ „ „ ,„ % r (Continued on P. 10) All kinds of creatures come out at night.

Filled with creativity Athens ' celebration (Continued from P.8) On Satuday, October 26th, twelve thousand people flocked to Athens from Ohio and other states. They came from as close as West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Connecticut, and as far away as Florida and California. Most of these people donned costumes and gathered on Court Street between 9p.m. and 2a.m. Some costumes were elaborate and some simple. A six-pack of Heineken walked the streets along with several of Billy Milligan ' s personalities and a few Ronald Reagans. The costumes and the blocking off of Court Street was all in a harmless night of fun for most people. Only 102 people were arrested that night which is not even one percent of the people who attended the affair. Ohio University officials and Mayor Ed Beckett considered that to be too many and opposed the annual celebration. George Weckman, an O.U. professor of philosophy, told the Post, Students are technically breaking laws, the officials are supplying the danger to support the tradi- tion. So the tradition remains. tini A couple of nerds cruise the streets of Athens and check out the sights. 10 — Campus Life TV I i IK v i F A log, a lumberjack, a friend, Charlie Chaplin and a ques- tionable lady show off their dress for the even- ing.

Homecoming v  MWf What does it really mean? The Webster dictionary states that homecoming is the return of a group of people on a special occasion to a place formerly frequented. The return of former students to Ohio University in 1986 was centered on the theme Discover the Difference. The difference was shown in a variety of ways. Greeks and Blacks participated by having contests for the King and Queen on the basis of collections. In charge of the Greek project was Kathy Kendle, who said, This way it is fair and not a popularity contest. One member from each fraternity and sorority helped their candidate win by collecting canned goods and used articles of clothing for the Athens Red Cross. Together, the ten fraternities and eight sororities participating collected 2700 pounds of food and 2500 articles of cloth- ing. The sorority and fraternity representa- tive who collected the most, according to the point system, was crowned Greek Homecoming Queen and King. Renee Coaxton of Zeta Tau Alpha and Brad Parobek of Beta Theta Pi were crowned queen and king at a ceremony at Nelson Commons on Friday, October 18, 1985. The short ceremony was for all Greeks and Greek alumni. Lynda Williams was crowned Black Homecoming Queen. Her title was based on the largest collection of funds to be put towards the Blackburn-Spencer Scholar- ship and Award. Sh e wa s sponsored by Alpha Kappa Alpha.

Trends ran from sweaters to sweats. Fashion Jenny Fox pril showers bring May flowers, but in December flowers blossomed. Flowered sweatshirts and bright socks worn over tight jeans became the big fashion commonly seen with the girls this year at Ohio University. I could make one of those things out of one of my mom ' s bathtowels, said freshmen Patty Bresnan. That wouldn ' t, however, cover up the paisley shirts buttoned up to the top worn with the bright colored stretch pants. I can remember when wearing your shirts buttoned like that was only for nerds, now everybody does it, said freshmen Dawn Matthews. Broaches and pearls draped over Forenza sweaters with Guess jeans were now topped off with black high top tennis shoes. Hairstyles varied this year from shaved off sideburns to bobs. Trench coats often worn over big and baggy clothes took the prize in mens fashion. A lot of the guys still liked to hang out in their old faded Levi ' s and high top tennis shoes though. During the sunny season, a lot of the guys on campus could be seen in tank tops and Bermuda shorts playing frisbee. Although fashions hit a big portion of the campus, there were still many students 14 — Campus Life YEAR ■ Big floral patterns is the fad that is printed on shirts, pants and skirts. who stuck to their own trends. Some preferred the preppy look, consisting of Shetland sweaters, kinkers, argile socks, and penny loafers. Others preferred the comfortable look with the basic Ohio University sweatshirts and sweatpants. Why spend all that money just to try and look like everybody else? I ' d rather wear what I want and be myself, said freshman Craig Banford. Flowers in the winter may seem a bit un- usual, but seasonal trends come and go. However, thi s is only until the next fad comes along. Fashionable and comfortable footwear like this is worn by either sex. Fashion — 15 A time without RAs and learning to live on your own Off Campus Living ut of the dorms and out on their own. That ' s what off campus living meant to some students. No more dorms and no more dorm food. After two years in the dorm system students were allowed to live off campus grounds. This included housing through local homeowners and property owners. Whole houses or rooms could be rented. Apartment complexes similar to dorm housing included the College Inn and Lakeview Apartments. The College Inn had an optional meal plan where Lakeview was more apartment styled with kitchens. More responsibility came with living off campus. Students became responsible for paying water, gas, electric, cable, and telephone bills. Part of the college ex- perience and learning included living off campus and taking more responsibility of their own life. Living off campus gives this student an opportunity to play his electric guitar in the privacy of his own room. 16 — Campus Life YEAR ■ $ 1 1 § Getting to cook your own food is a benefit, but sometimes a chore.

H1 Martin Luther King Day — 21 Mary Novak Games of the mind agility; remember the game that ended the 1985-86 season New England Patriots Chicago Bears fight it out in Superbowl XX Twenty years from now, while playing Trivial Pursuit, if you stumble on the sports and leisure question, Who won Super Bowl XX, will you answer the Chicago Bears and gain a piece of the pie? Chances are pretty good that you just might. In fact, you might even remember where you spent that Super Bowl Sunday back in January 1986, with whom and maybe what clothes you were wearing. Yes, Super Bowl XX was pretty un- forgettable. The Chicago Bears went into the contest 10-point favorites, one of only two double figure betting lines on the Super Bowl since the early days. The New England Patriots only wish the game could have been that close. When the last second ticked off the clock, the score read 46-10 in favor of the Bears; and Chicago had its first major title in any professional sport since 1963, when the Bears were NFL champs. TRIVIA QUESTION NO. 1: What two Bowl records were set during Super Bowl XX?... The Bears set a record by allowing the Patriots only seven rushing yards. The second record is even more astounding. The first half ended with a defensive record -minus 19 yards for New England. Add to those two factors the most devas- tating defensive exhibition in Super Bowl history and it is plain to see how the Bears rolled over the Patriots. But the Patriots need not feel alone in their defeat. Enroute to the final showdown the Bears crushed the N.Y. Giants 21-0, and white-washed the Los Angeles Rams 24-0. TRIVIA QUESTION NO. 2: What NFL team made a music video?. ..While the game may not go down in football history as being a real cliffhanger, it will be remembered for the hoopla that went on prior to it. The Super Bowl Shuffle was a song in which the Bears rapped all the way to M-TV. The two players that rapped the most press attention had to be Bears ' William the Refrigerator Perry, and Jirri McMahon. Perry, a 308-pound defensive tackle, did everything in the 85-86 season from scoring touchdowns to doing McDonald ' s advertisements. While Perry was rapidly becoming America ' s favorite 300-plus teddy bear, another Bear was raising quite a few eyebrows himself, but for different reasons. Quarterback McMahon, with his punk haircut and black glasses generated plenty of excitement on his own with his cockyness and his personalized headbands. The 1985-86 season was exciting and full of surprises, but when the locker room doors closed after Super Bowl XX, the Bears were the ones celebrating while the Patriots were probably still trying to figure out what hit them. 22 — Campus Life WINTER Chicago Bears Jim McMahon and kicker Kevin Butler on the sidelines during the game.

Both committees believed that work- ing together would be good for Athens. Criterium is a series of races within a race. Prizes were awarded to racers for completing certain laps the fastest. This was in addition to completing the race in first place. There were several races for dif- -g ferent ages and skills also.

Providing informa- tion, recreation and guidance, the student center meant more than cashing checks. It ' s the living room for the entire Mike Sostarich, assistant dean 30 — Campus Life university of students said. It was the place to go when you felt like getting out of the dorm.

It zvas their job to make the students feel welcome, said Sostarich. Suzi Greentree ' s, The Frontier Room and the Bunch of Grapes room were probably the most popular meeting places in Baker Center. Suzi Greentree ' s catered to the hungry. The restaurant had a menu of pizza, subs and potatoes. It featured a wide screen TV with M-TV always playing. TJie Frontier Room catered to the thirsty. It provided many kinds of beer at low prices, bands, feature acts and free movies. An added attraction to the Room was the porch. During Fall and Spring quarters the thing to do was to go onto the porch, drink a cold beer with friends and watch the people go by- The Bunch of Grapes room was basically for Freshmen. It served non-alcoholic drinks and provided a meeting place for freshmen along with the overflow from the Frontier Room. Because of its convenient location, Baker Center became the ideal spot for group meetings. Many clubs and student oganiza- tions held their zveekly or monthly meetings there. The center also housed many student organization offices auch as Student Activi- ties, Student Senate, the Athena and The Post. In the basement of Baker Center was the recreation room. It offered pool, bowling, video games and a bike and camping shop too. The information desk was in the main lobby. Not only could you get a check cashed and use your Jubilee card, but you could also find out ivhere any registered student lived on campus. There was the 1804 formal room and across the hall, there was a more modern TV lounge. The State dining room was also on the main floor. The outside porch was convenient for sel- ling items from sweetest day flowers to con- cert tickets. It was also a popular place to see and meet people.

Karen Heu: Road trips for Ohio University student- athletes can be an enriching, rewarding ex- perience. Athletes have the opportunity to get away from Athens for the weekend, take advantage of hotel luxuries, see and experience other campuses and cities, and eat out in restaurants. Life on the road isn ' t a bowl of cherries. Some sports teams had it pretty rough on the road. They were required to travel on run-down mini-buses. They packed two or three players in one seat, and kept their belongings on the floor between their legs. Conditions on the bus such as darkness and noisy freshmen made studying close to impossible for students who were con- cerned with their academics. Coaches (who drove the bus) ofter overlook the fact that players need to use restroom facilities because they are concerned about making good time on the road, and pulling over for bathroom stops doesn ' t boost gas mileage. More prestigious sports teams (men ' s and women ' s basketball, football) encount- er a different road tripping experience. They ' re blessed with more luxurious travel arrangements such as Greyhound or char- ter buses. These buses have luggage stor- age compartments, overhead lights which aid in studying, and most importantly, restrooms! These teams travel on these buses in their big, comfortable seats and on a quiet, smooth ride to restaurants that are a step or two up from McDonalds and Hardees where the less prestigious teams have their meals. They also have the advantage or opportunity of flying to games which are up to twelve hours or more away while the other teams are roughing it on the mini-buses. All in all, both classifications of the mentioned roadtrippers experience enjoy- able and eventful road trips for the most part. The athletes who are required to travel less prestigiously don ' t look at their situation as unfair. They realize that the other sports are just bigger profit makers, and those 2 teams are able to have a bigger budget because £ they bring in more money 56 — Campus Life YEAR ■ On route 33 another car leaves Athens for a new adventure.

Throughout fall, winter and spring, O.U. athletic organizations proved themselves in competition. The major sport of fall quarter was football. The Gridders acquired a new coach, Cleve Bryant, O.U. alumni. Unfortunately the season was a losing one. Spectator Barb Berling said, It was sad to see the football team lose, but I had fun anyway cheering and being with friends. Other fall sports included Cross Country and Field Hockey. During the winter, bobcat athletic fans moved in doors to cheer on the school ' s basketball teams. They both had successful seasons. The women went the full distance by becoming the 1986 MAC Champions. The other indoor sports included swimming, volleyball and wrestling. The wrestling team ' s outcomes for the season depended on the health of team members. Outdoors again in the spring was Baseball, Softball, Tennis, and Track. Every team gave their all so they could personally improve and improve O.U. ' s records. No matter what the outcomes of their seasons ' or how off the wall the competition, sports were off and running. « Sports Divider — 67 Field Hockey D.C.

V '  • The thought of victory keeps Cheryl Triaga on the move against her opponent. Going for a goal is Moira Hurley against a tough defense. It was a fair year for OU Field Hockey. The team goal for the season was to make the Mid-American Conference playoffs, but that goal was knocked down by repeated losses in key games against MAC teams. By losing 3 games at Kent State halfway through the season, the Bobcats were placed in a position that was beat or be beaten. It was theri only way of taking a stand in the MAC. The team came back with wins againist Northern Illinois and Central Michigan, but again lost to two more MAC teams. This ended their season 2-5 in the Mid-American Conference. In the beginning of the season scoring was the problem for the team. They had chances at scoring, but missed. Noreen Smyth, a junior mid-fielder, commented that, We have alot of talent on our team and we work well together, but things just didn ' t come to gether. We needed to be more aggresive around the goal cage. In a game against Davis Elkins the Bobcats scored for the first time in three games. This really boosted the team ' s spirit. The team ' s scoring average ended slightly higher for the season than most of their opponents. It seems they just could not score in the right games. |gg Field Hockey — 69 Jesse Owens runs with the ball before being tackled. Art McCormick readies himself to punt the ball. Coaching changes will affect any team and when Cleve Bryant returned to his Alma Mater as head coach, he found that the 1985 Bobcats were no exception. The players had to adjust to not only new coaches, but an entirely new offense and defense as well. Despite a record of only two wins and nine losses, the team showed improvement throughout the season. The defense was the stronghold of the Cats early in the season. The hard-hitting defense was led by senior Bryan Mays who recorded 154 tackles for the season. Seniors Sherman Carter and John Guzik anchored the front line. Guzik was a con- 70 — Sports tinual threat to opposing quarterbacks as he recorded seven sacks for the season. He also returned an interception for the only defensive touchdown of the year. Larry Grimes stole four passes to lead the team in interceptions. While the defense was playing well, the offense took a little longer to get on track. The inexperience of the offense, particu- larly the offensive line, was evident in the early weeks of the season. But as the season progressed, the offense became more and more effective. The players adjusted to each other and the new system and the line improved. Led by senior quarterback Dennis Swearingen, the Bobcat offen se began to produce more points. Junior Tom Compernolle led the team in receptions. Another junior, run- ning back Jesse Owens, led the team in rushing and all-purpose yards. One of the biggest disappointments of the season came in a 13-7 loss to oeCentral Michigan. With less than one minute to play, the Bobcats found themselves in a fourth down situation. They had the ball on the Chippewas ' one yard line and a chance to score a touchdown. The snap was fumbled and the Chippewas recovered the ball, dashing Ohio ' s hopes for their first win. The ' Cats also suffered a heartbreaking defeat at the hands of arch- rival Miami. Despite the disappointments and frus- trations, the players never gave up. Even after a bitter loss, they came back to practice the next week ready to play. The hard work paid off as the Bobcats im- John Guzik guards the quarterback from a Ball State lineman. From the sideline, it ' s plain to see the game is taken seriously by both teams.

FOOTBALL Ruth Gaertner proved and won two games in a row near the close of the season. The offense and the defense finally came together in one of the best perfor- mances of the season, producing their first win by defeating Kent State. Another bright spot for the Bobcats was the kick-off return man, Keith Crawford. The elusive sophomore broke the MAC record in this department. The players, coaches, faculty and students are all looking forward to next season because after losing very few seniors to graduation, many of the same faces will appear in the 1986 Bobcat line- up. Hopefully, the experience these players gained during the past season will benefit the team and the program. 1985 Football 2-9 OPP OU 31 Marshall 7 34 Duke University 13 13 Central Michigan 7 29 Miami 22 36 Ball Slate 23 27 Eastern Michigan 21 24 Toledo 10 23 Kent State 33 15 Western Michigan 21 35 Northern Illinois 7 38 Bowling Green 17 1 off the Board i i i i ll i.i.i.

The last winning season was nine years ago. Many people predicted a winning season in 1985, but the Lady Bobcats strug- gled through a season characterized by in- juries and emotional highs and lows. They closed the season with an 11-19 overall record and a 3-15 record in the Mid- American Conference. Early in the season, power-hitters Sheila Lange and Kerry Quinn were forced to the sideline with injuries. Both girls returned to the action and turned in fine performances during the remainder of the season. As a result of Quinn ' s performances, she was chosen as one of the Players of the Week in the MAC. Midway through the season, the team traveled to Akron for a tournament with Akron University, Cleveland State and Youngstown State. By defeating all three opponents, the Lady ' Cats won the tourna- ment. Although the girls performed well in non-conference action, they got a taste of the fierce competition in the MAC. The team lost both matches to a Toledo squad who, in the previous year, had not won a single conference match. But the Bobcats regained their fighting spirit to defeat fifth place Eastern Michigan in the last match of the season. Leading the team were seniors Lisa Kungl, captain Mary Weisgerber and defensive specialist Leslie Jelen. Sopho- mores Quinn and Kelly Short were also very impressive in only their second year of action. Quinn and freshman Becky Roberts became familiar faces to opposing hitters as their aggressive play dominated at the net. With players such as these returning next year, a winning season is certainly within reach. fffjT At the Convo the spikerrs gave there all in 4 games against Northern Illinois to lose 3 to 1.

Shaft The golf team, with the guidance of Coach Kermit Blosser, in his 39th season, led a very optimistic team, that never really made their goals. The coach predicted that they would be contenders for the Mid- American conference but inconsistency led them to ending the season at the MAC in sixth out of nine teams. With their finish Blosser felt that the team golfed their best single round of the season at the last round of the championships. The top six golfers varied slightly throughout the season due to inconsisten- cies. The whole team never golfed well at the same time. When a few placed high the rest placed low. Dave Miller, Jeff Dansbury, Andrew Costa, Bill Cassell, Dick Porter, and Ray Finneart were the leaders early in the season. Finnearty fell out because of putting problems, especially noted at the Kent State Invitational, where the team finished eight out of 13. He later moved up to the top six at the end of the season. David DeCaminada made a break into the top six toward the end of the season when he began to concentrate more on his game. Golf — 75 In order to do the backstroke, these swimmers first need to backdive into the water. Men ' s Swimming 76 — Sports Consistency was the key to the success of the men ' s swimming season. The big con- test of the season was against Miami who placed second in the 1985 Mid-American Conference Championships. The Bobcats went into the meet knowing that the meet would depend on how well their divers and new found depth would match the Redskin ' s depth. The victory of 61-52 was clinched when O.U. ' s Jeff Floyd beat Miami ' s John Thome bv three-tenths of a second on the last leg of the 400-yard frees- tyle relay. Coach Don Galluzzi stated that the meet was a barn burner , exactly as thev thought it would be. Floyd attributed the team ' s improvement at the end of the season to the coaches.

Four of the five divers were returnees and scored more points than any other team in the conference. The team relied on their ex- perience.

Women ' s Swimming — 79 The season was plagued with problems of bad pitching and inconsistency. An ex- ample of this was the Wright State games where O.U. maintained its lead until the last inning when Chip Vaughan gave up a lead-off homer to tie the game at two. The pitching problems were emphasized by the small number of pitchers available. Hitting was a problem when O.U. got into a pressure situation. They had people on base but couldn ' t get them to home base.

Students, professors and administrators were the keys to the many adventures that make life in A-town a time to remember. People came to this school for many different reasons and from many different places. Mark Lovensheimer, from Chillocothe, Ohio, who transferee! from OSU to OU said, I wanted to get away from my girlfriend, but she followed me here too. The hometowns of students ranged form Athens itself to Los Angeles, California and the 15% population of foreign students ' homes ranged from the countries of Africa to Korea. The lenght of time spent here varied also. Four years was the academic plan, but some schedules had to be extended for various academic and personal reasons. Matt Zwick, Fashion Photography Major, said I love this school, but after 9 years it has gotten too big for a little guy like me. Some students may have spent less than four years here also like graduate students and transfer students, either to or from OU. The people had a variety of living arrangements to choose from. The dorm system was required of all freshman and sophomores who did not commute. This way students could meet fellow students and learn other important lessons that need to be learned as part of a well rounded college education. The other living alternative was off campus living in an apartment. Semi dorm living was available in the College Inn. Here a cafeteria option was offered. There was Lake view apartments, which gave more independent living with kitchen space. Athens property holders rented rooms and houses to students for the school year and summers. No matter who the people were, where they came from and why they came, they may have been a little offbeat, but they were the people that made this year off the wall.

These addicts could be seen regularly in the televi- sion lobbies around campus. Baker Center ' s, Suzie Greentree ' s, Gamertsfelder lounge and the livin- grooms on South Green -were just a few of the popular hang-outs. These soap opera addicts were so devoted to soaps they rven schedided classes around them. Luckily for their G.P.A. ' s most of these students were only hooked on one soap opera. However some people could be seen the same T. V. lounge all day. These people would watch one soap after another, getting up only to change the channel. Their most common answer to the question What is your philosophy of life? was to have a good time, get a college degree, find a rich husband and last but not least, to make a lot of money. Along with the plnlosophy of hav- ing a good time, a little bit of dream- ing didn ' t hurt. That was what these people did for an hour or two a day.

Addicted to the soqps;scheduling classes around an afternoon of All My Children,One Life to Live and GH was not unusual. Soap Addicts Soap Opera Addicts — 15 2:15 a.m. Thursday. I was having a nightmare about my advertising exam when sudden- ly I was awakened by a terribly loud noise; what sounded like a downpour. I crawled out of bed to confront whatever nonsense was taking place outside my door and wondered if I might be hurt in the process. Calmly, I en- tered the battlefield of the 4th floor to find the fire extinguisher emptied, the bulletin board torn down and the sign off my door stolen. No, it wasn ' t easy to keep my cool. I counted to ten and clenched my fists behind my back. Then I realized gTafitti had been written all over the walls. Art, no. Ridiculous, yes. Before I could fall back to sleep I asked myself what the job of an R.A. meant to me and was it really worth it. Not an easy question to answer. Luckily, my experiences as a Resident Assistant weren ' t all shaving cream battles and un- registered parties. Helping people meant everything from answering trivial questions to dealing with life threatening 16 — People situations. Organizing broom ball teams or offering programs on sex, long distance relation- ships and palm reading were my specialties. Keeping an eye on uncompatible roommates and dealing with expecting residents were some of the problems I ' ve faced. Still, I asked myself why. The pressure on Resident Assistants is enormous. Whether it ' s sitting duty, stay- ing in on Halloween or pouring my favorite beer down the drain. I had to remember who I was aside from the job, my other life. My academ ic load was dangerous and my steady boyfriend didn ' t understand weekly staff meetings. Even so, I had to perform. It wasn ' t easy having my life on display or having everything I did be public knowledge. I lived in a fish bowl and the girls on my section waited with anticipation for my mistakes. I carried the weight of the world on my shoulders and was often depressed about the many problems I faced. I had to be con- fidential about resident problems or illnesses and had to use my own judgement in criti- cal situations. Qualified or not. What made the job worthwhile for me was thej people I came to know. Girls I met in the beginning and didn ' t like turned out to be some of my best friends. Residents saying ' How was your weekend or have a nice break made me think they cared a little. My staff and people on other staffs were incredible. I felt closer to them than anyone. Like a family, wejj understood each other easily because we experienced the same traumas. We turned to each other for support. Without a doubt, the worst part of being an R.A. was saying  good-bye to all the people I had grown to love. I could barely re- member the drunken con- frontations or the obnoxious fraternity men next door. In the end I could only remember the friendships, the conversations, and R.A. Orientation — the greatest week of all! Being an R.A. does build character. R.A. ' s do more than clean macaroni out of sinks and tell people to turn their music down. The job was a turn learn- ing experience and a duel with insanity. Those catastrophic mo- ments were some of the best times of my life.

Lionel Richie ' s All Night Long wasn ' t the tune that in- spired many OU students to spend an entire night studying. Students were pulling all nighters long before Richie be- came famous. Studying all night for an exam is about as common as disliking cafeteria cuisine. What makes all nighters so popular is the style in which they ' re performed. To prepare for an entire night of studying, make sure you have big exams or papers due the next day. Then gather two or three friends into one room and stock upon coffee, popcorn, cigarettes and NoDoz. Usually a half an hour won ' t pass before someone starts dis- cussing a topic that has nothing to do with the subject at hand, like sex or drugs. By 3 a.m. residence life usual- ly approved an all hall scream. During and all hall scream everyone hangs out their dorm windows and yells frantically about their exams to release ten- sion. Common phrases are: I can ' t take this anymore or I hate economics! The purpose behind these all hall screams is simply to maintain the sanity of university students. Yelling out windows almost always worked up an appetite. So next on the agenda was ordering a pizza. If you ' re female, painting your nails or perming your hair may be appropriate while study- ing and males either shave or decide to grow beards in protest of their exams.

A time when being out of the ordinary is natural and knowledge is overflowing Freshman Experience When was the last time you walked past a classroom three or four times before realizing that is where you were supposed to be? Or walked casually into a bar without expecting to be carded and then asked to leave because you were under age? Or tripped on the bricks going down Morton Hill? Or broke a glass in the cafeteria? Or left your backpack in the bookstore? Or ate something in the cafeteria even though you had no idea what it was? Or sent away for freebies just so you would get some mail? Or walked into a classroom only to have to leave after the instructor gave the call number? Or wore high heels to class and walked home barefoot? Or dressed up like a giant beer can on Halloween weekend? The last time you did any of these things was probably your freshman year. If it was not then there was no doubt that you were labeled FRESHMAN nonetheless. Your freshman year in college is believed to be one of the trying times in life. Some say that if you can survive you first fall, winter, and spring quarters you can survive just about anything. Freshman year and all the newness it holds begins the mo- ment the key is turned in the lock of the door of your new home . Your new home was the size of a bathroom that you had to share with at least one other person. These were people you had probably never met before and now, thanks to the random pick of a computer, may have become your closest friends. Another trying aspect of freshman year is your first meal on the meal plan. If your meal ticket read valid and you got past the checker, your first im- pression of the food was that it was really not that bad. But by the end of May you were sure that someone was trying to poison you. To a freshman, night life can be both the most appealing and trying aspect of college, espe- cially if you were still 18. But that did not stop freshman who spent more time figuring out how to sneak into the back door of the Nickelodeon than they did on their studies. Once classes started you were sure you would never make it. Only a freshman would be scheduled for an 8 am class in Porter, a 9 am class in Morton, and a 10 am class in Bentley. At the end of the day you had blisters, pulled muscles, and you felt as if you had been through an obstacle course. Before you knew it your freshman year was over and some how you had survived. No doubt it was because of the encouragement of new friends and the freshman ability to shrug it off with a smile. Now, there were those who believed they would glide through freshman year without making a mistake, looking silly or doing something totally off the wall. For those people freshman year was probably very long. The reason everyone loves a freshman or at least puts up with them is because they can remember only too well what it was like for them, fjrrr Freshman Experience — 121 Not making everyone one happy, but protect- ing those who have 2 the right to park is £ an OU Polices: officer. $ No matter what their title or the color of their uniforms, they were there for us. SECURITY DC. Atal In such a small town as Athens, it ' s hard to believe there was so much security and protection. There was three different organizations here to protect and serve the students and townspeople. OU Security, students dressed in blue, patrol the campus at night to ensure that all is well in the dorm and clas- sroom areas. They survey the dorms to asure that all students are following the codes of con- duct stated in the student hand- book. OU Police, dressed in green, intervene when action is needed that is abov e security ' s power. They patrol the campus at day light to ensure safe goings on. . Athens Police, keeping law and order for the Athens; community and the students who entered those areas after class time. Most students hoped not to see them on a night uptown, but a few have had run ins that have fouund them in a 1 cell until their friends could bail them out.

Besides such computer systems as Alice, which made all our lives easier by enabling us to find books and other literature, the library offered students the option of Interlibrary Loan searches. The system enabled students to borrow books from many institutions all over the . nation. The library also helped out new students by offering intro- ductions and How to classes so they could successfully use the many library resources.

An insatiable couri- osity, human concern and a good command of the English language. Izard knew because he had been teaching at O.U. for almost twenty years. He said his job was to help students facilitate their own learning process. Izard was known for teaching classes like News Reporting, Reporting of Public Affairs, Contemporary Issues, Media Ethics and Mass Media and Society. My work is my recreation, said Izard. But teaching classes wasn ' t the most important element to him. He kept himself busy with periodic workshops and with his family. Izard is also one of the advisors for the O.U. chapter of the Society of Profes- sional Journalists and a national co-chairperson for the Professi- onal Development Committee. If you don ' t keep up with it then you ' re not doing your job for the students, he said. Izard maintained contacts with the professional world and about every three or four years gets the journalistic itch to get back into the field. Consequently, he left in January to work for Associ- ated Press in Honolulu. According to Izard, journa- lism has changed a lot in the past 10 years. I am an advocate of the media criticizing the media , he said. If The Post or Athens News prints something incorrect then it ' s part of their job to tell each other. Journalism is not a profes- sion, said Izard. But journa- lists still behave professionally. Izard doesn ' t think journalists should be licensed because it would give the government the right to pick them. His focus is to help continue the education and further the development of students. The funny man himself, Mel Helilzer. Izard holds a very impressive background in journalism, start- ing with his masters degree from West Virginia University in 1962. He was named Outstand- ing Male Graduate of the School of Journalism at WVU in 1961. He received his Ph.D. in 1969 from the University of Illinois. Other professional experience include the Columbus Citizen Journal, Associated Press in Charleston, WVA., Mitchell College of Advanced Education in Bathurst, Australia and the H.H. Herbert School of Journa- lism at the University of Oklahoma. In his spare time, he enjoys relaxing with his wife and daughter and going to an occasi- onal square dance. Izard is well known to O.U. ' s campus and especially to journalism majors. Whether he ' s in Athens or Honolulu, he is a skilled dedicated journalists and a hero to undergraduate reporters. A Richard Vedder D.C.

Gathering all of your dirty laundry — the sock under the bed, the shirt tossed over the chair, and the pants that still lay in the middle of the floor, you cage all of it in a large plastic basket. On the way to the laundry mat you hope that no one else is doing their laundry. Arriving at the laundry mat, you find that every washer is being used. Much to your dislike you sit down and dream of ingenious ways to get your clothes washed: send a package home each week, bribe someone else to wash them, or buy new clothes 1 34 — People every week. These are all great ideas, but for the time being you realize that you had better grab the washer that ' s being emptied in order to survive. Everyone in the laundry room tenses and grabs onto their laundry. You casually walk over and wait for the person to move. As quickly as he leaves you find yourself cramming your clothes into the small washer. As you are cramming all of your clothes into the washer, silently you think back to your freshman year, when you first learned to wash. For an entire quarter everything you owned was an olive-drab green. Mom always did the laundry at home. Shuttering at these thoughts you eye another washer and cram lialf of your clothes into it. Only after feed- ing the washer $.75 of your hard earned cash, it refuses to work. By this time you are ready to scream. Indescretely , you give the washer a swift kick and it begins to work. Proud of your accomplishments you find a seat and begin some homework. After about 15 minutes, 10 minutes of that time spent spin- ning so that everythmg is good and wrinkled, your clothes are done. Luckly you spot two dryers just being emptied. Throwing your clothes into the dryer you begin to wonder why you even bother. Knowing this you still drop a quarter into the dryer and run to chat with your friends again. Approximately fifteen minutes later, ten minutes after the dryer has stopped heating, it stops. Miracu- lously, some of the clothes are actually dry. Now comes the fun part, folding all of your clothes and trying to fit them into the same basket they were all crammed into before. After accomplishing this task you get up to leave. Saying goodbye to your friends you start towards the door only to find tlwt it has begun to rain. Only after safely arriving back in your room do you breathe a sigh of relief, knowing that this was one less time you will ever have to do laundry at O.U.

That time when sororities and fraternities choose new members to enter their Greek organization. The selecting process was as old as the organization itself. Yet every year the pledges selected were somewhat different than the class before. In Creek organizations the number of new pledges was not relei ' ant; for strength in numbers was not as im- portant as strength in character. The selecting process of pledges was difficult. There were many aspiring and promising people to choose from, therefore every Greek At the Alpha Gamma Delta house, a group of actives converse with prospective members as part of rush activities. organization had its own criteria for choosing new pledges. Each poten- tial pledge was interviewed by all the fraternities or sororities then pledges bidded on the sorority or fraternity of their choice. Some of those people would then be invited to join the organization of their choice as a pledge. Once the organizations decide who to accept as a pledge the pledg- ing process begins. This process varies within each group. Most predominately black Greek organi- zations held individual rushes at various times of the year. Once chosen to pledge the fraternity or sorority they were not yet members, but simply pledges. They had names like Scrollers, Pyramids, and Esquires. Each predominately black Greek organization has a set time to orient their pledges before they be- come members. There were parties, picnics, alumni days, new close friends, secrets, pinnings, and many moments spent dreaming about the day when another Rush zveek came along and you would have a chance to choose who would be your new brother or sister. Greek life could best be described by those people who lived it. Alpha Delta Pi member, Karen Norton said, Being an A.D.Pi is one of the most exciting and rewarding aspects of my college career.

The priviledge to use the phone was a given but bills were still issued for long dis- tance usage. 1 44 — People FRONT: John Ciauaglia, Martin Allen, Tom McGreevy, Tim Boyer, Carl Wooten , Steve Schuf f , John Ramey, Jim Brown, Jim Kelley, Fred Williamson, Rusty Stratman, Wade Taylor.

I have to work. If you worked during a school year you probably said this more than once, often with regret. If you did not have a part-time job, it was more than likely that some of your friends did . Working often in- terfered with social life and studying. Still, a large number of OU students were employed. The reason for working varied from person to person. Several reasons were the need for extra bucks to make the weekend more fun, money to pay tuition or rent, and believe it or not, just to keep busy. Many times a student told his or her parents there were no jobs available on campus or anywhere nearby. They told outrageous tales of searching and searching for days, and never being able to find anything. These students were either fibbing or too picky. Job openings were listed daily in thePosf and Athens News as well as on the job board outside the Financial Aid Office in Chubb Hall. The jobs on this board ranged from off-campus jobs to on-campus work study programs. Work study jobs were available for those students who showed financial need. Work Study ranged from Working had benefits for many students. On the Clock Julie Lipka office clerical positions to language lab assistants. Sophomore Michelle Great- house worked in the Modern Language lab and her job in- cluded signing time cards, setting up video equipment, making and duplicating tapes and keeping the lab neat and clean. Working can cut into time I could be studying, but I need the money to pay for school. That ' s where it all goes, Michelle said. Some jobs, such as being an RA, were 24 hour jobs, seven days a week. Teri Monaghan was an RA in Wilson Hall her Senior year. I like my job be- cause it can be a lot of fun. I get to deal with a variety of people and through our inter- actions I learn. I enjoy being able to help people who need my help and I also like the friendships I have established with the staff and the resi- dents. I chose this job because I wanted a job at school, but not one that I would dread. Valuable experience and insight was gained by work- ing a job in the same field as a future career. One program that offered such on the job experience was the Pace Program. Undergraduate students were eligible for these jobs which emphasized their skills in a specific field. Along with average jobs there were many off the wall jobs offered. Displayed on the job board next to an opening at Hardee ' s restu- rarant were requests for nude models, paper carriers, English tutors for foreign children, and even enter- tainers for a child ' s birthday party. For students who were put- ting themselves through college, it was common to work 10, 20, or even 40 hours a week. Whatever they did to make a few extra bucks it was always worth it when the paycheck was in hand. Be- sides a monetary reward, students were rewarded with the experience they gained and the responsibility the learned. |j?ifjfl) Noreen Bentley Communication Mark Berger Journalism Barbara Beriing Marketing Suzan Berman Advertising Jeffrey Beros Health Educabon Joe Biddle Voice Enc Binns CSB kimberlv Bishop Magazine Journalism Rebecca Bishop Anth Interpersonal Relations Christine Blaylock Advertising Ernest Blazek CSB and Management Susan Bleser Child Development Abdul-Bleser — 147 Keith Blosser Political Science Michelle Bode Psychology and Business Administration Sharon Bodenschatz Marketing Aaron Boescn Telecommunications Comprehensive FJeese Bohannon Radio TV Broadcasting Shawn Bolender Management and Business Pre- Law Dana Bone Accounting and Business Law Shawn Boockoff CSB and Business Law Michael Border Marketing James Boros Electrical Computer Engineering Christine Botta Theater Production Design Jeffrey Boulton Electrical Computer Engineering Stacy Bowen Pre-Med Melanie Boyd Organizational Communication MaryFrances Brackle General Communications Jeff Brandon History Deborah Brent Telecommunication Robert Bridges Marketing Terresa Brier Finance Stephanie Brooks Advertising Daniel Brown QBA and General Business Douglas Brown Wilderness Sk.

For other, it was an all-out hassle... but everyone made it. Many upperclassmen had their first chance to life off- campus. Meeting landlords, arranging the furniture, and deciding who gets what room were all common procedures of the day. Freshmen and dorm residents went through the traditional hassles of lugging belongings up three or four flights of stairs, only to find a dusty, barren room. However, after everyone had added their own personal touch, the rooms soon had become homes. The hot and humid weather didn ' t help much, but the mov- ing Bobcats made the most of it. Many could be found perched on a stack of boxes drinking an ice cold beer and taking a break from the hubbub. By the time everyone got things organized, the last poster up, curtains that finally matched, etc. it seemed as though it was time to pack everything up again and move out.

This was the first graduating class. The physi- cal therapy program had ex- isted since June 1984. It had taken time to develope, but the program was an offical candidate for accreditation by the Commission for Accredi- tationin Education of the American Physical Therapy Association. Until it was accredited, this program could not be advertised by the University. Cynthia Norkin, Director of Physical Therapy, expected that when the program became accredited, the number of applicants and enrollment would increase. The requirements for this program included a 2.8 over G.P.A. and prerequisites which took three academic years to complete. Students who were admitted to the program began the profes- sional course work in the June of each year and attend both summer sessions. They took Gross Anatomy, Role Issues in Physical Therapy, and Clinical Teaching. During the following eight quarters, students participated in academic and clinical learn- ing experiences including three full-time practicums. The first one was for the first year. The second one was for six weeks during the second year summer and the final practicum was for 10 weeks in the spring before graduation. A unique aspect of this program is that students are working in clinics in the second quarter of their first year. Students spend three hous a week in local clinics for their Community Practice Problems course sequence which continues throughtout the curriculum. The 44 juniors and seniors involved this year worked at Hudson Health Center, Hickory Creek Nursing Home, Echo- ing Meadows, O ' Bleness Memorial Hospital, the Oestheopathic Medical Center, Athens Mental Health Center, Hope Haven School in Jackson, and Buckeye Community Services. The School of Physical Therapy had a systems- oriented problem solving curriculum, making it rather unique in PT Education. The students learned to evaluate and treat musculoskeletal, neuromuscular, respiratory, and cardiovascular problems in classroom and laboratory learning experiences. Faculty Practice is another unique program within the physical therapy program. The faculty was kept in the field by working 10 hours a week in clinics and supervis- ing the students who were also working there. Four clinical faculty also partici- pated in this program. Physical therapy is very broad and includes a wide variety of interest areas such as development, geriatrics and neurological physical therapy. Basically, a physical therapist uses heat, light, electriciy, cold, modalities, and therapy exercise to relieve the pain, discomfort, and increase the function of the patient. Based on evalu- ations of the individual patient, the physical therapist plans and implements a treat- ment program for the patient and works with other health care providers to solve problems. Prevention of secondary problems as a result of a disability is also part of their practice of physi- Bridget Muldoon First Physical Therapy Class cal therapy. Licensed physi- cal therapists were in great demand in many differrent types of clinical settings across the country.

Remember the first time you visited O.U. and you were driving around trying to figure out where Chubb Hall was and which lane you were supposed to be in? Then came the tough part, trying to find a place to park. After driving around town for a while, until you knew which lanes went where, you finally found a parking space. Finding your way to Chubb Hall you registered and got all the paperwork done for your first year at O.U. You then decided that you wanted to look around and familarize yourself with the campus. Following your tour and a small bite to eat you return to you car for your journey home. Upon your arrival you notice a large yellow ticket on your car ' s windshield and an expired meter. Paying the ticket and vowing that this would never happen again, you left Athens, only to return for your college years to find out it only gets worse. Parking had been and probably always will be a problem in Athens. There are just too many people with too many cars in such a small area. People have proposed solutions like parking garages and lots, but unfortunately none of them ever materi- alized. Not only is parking a problem in Athens uptown, but it is beginning to get crowded in student parking lots also. People are unable to buy parking stickers for their greens, therefore, they are made to park on other greens. This causes many incon- nveniences and major headaches. The problems of parking were multiplying and the solutions were not. There was just not enough room for everyone ' s cars. One idea I have is to just not drive a car... or if you do, don ' t plan on parking anywhere.

Every- one needs it wheter by letter, telegraph, telegram or phone. Getting mail was a treat when you first came to college, because it helped relieve the tension of classes and being away from home for the first time. It was good to hear about home happen- ings and get away. The phone was another way to get in touch with happenings at home. The phone was not easily accessed though. Students had to go to GTE and wait in a line with the hundreds of other students wishing to in- stall service. Once a phone was installed, massive phone bills had to be dealt with also. That was part of the privi- ledge. Bryan Hall was the only dormitory no to have this trouble. The renovated building included pho ne se r- vices for all residents.

Everyday you could spend a little money here and there buying things you needed. But to conservative college students, these stores can be a temptation to spend hard earned money on frivoli- ties. Many times something is too perfect to pass up so we ' d write a check or run to the Jubilee machine for a quick withdrawal. Shopping, for some people is very theraputic.

It has been known that a shopping spree could pick up sagging emotions, but, depression often settles in when the bank account statement arrives in the mail. The street vendors offer a quick stop as you passed through uptown. The Bagel Buggy, plant cart, Burrito man, hot pretzel cart, tofutti, tie dyed cart, and coffee cart tempted the passer by with good smells and attractive displays. The vendors offered an open market of sorts. Stores throughout the Athens area served the many needs and wants of the many different kinds of people at OU.

It was toasted on a gas grill and included butter, cream cheese, and jelly. Much to your surprise, it tasted great. The Bagel Buggy is just one of the vendors that appeared at night uptown during nice weather. In those years we also saw the Pizza Buggy and the Burrito Buggy satisfy our midnight munches. Early in the fall and spring were the peak periods for vendors. There was a man selling tie dye shorts and shirts. A fruit stand and jewelry vendor was also there with their portable stands.

Galbreath. The Galbreaths met shortly after World War I while they were both attend- ing school at Ohio University. Mrs. Galbreath died in 1946, and as a tribute to her the chapel was built. The chapel was cleverly designed to fit in the narrow space between Ellis Hall and the Memorial Auditorium by the same firm which restored historical Williamsburg in Virginia. The chapel hosted a variety of activities from worship to non-religious plays and fic- tion readings. The chapel was open every day and anyone who wished to meditate, pray, or just be alone was in- vited to visit. Harriett Tong was on top of all events at the chapel. The chapel can be used by anyone. It doesn ' t have to be religious oriented. Anyone is welcome to just come in and take a load off and think, Tong said. The chapel had served many different organizations such as Moselems, Lutherans, Latter-Day Saints, Friends of Religion and Buddhists. These groups used the chapel as long as they liked or until they could build their own building or church. These organizations, however, were only permitted to hold one meet- ing per week. Some activities which took place at the chapel included: initiations for sororities, fraternities, and honor societies, organ concerts, vocal concerts, recitals by dance students, receptions, and international coffee hours. The chapel had reception rooms to accomodate 150 people and smaller rooms to seat up to 50 people. These rooms didn ' t have to be rented, but the chapel did accept contributions. The chapel had a small dressing room for the bride- to-be. With it ' s delicate small charm, it was an extremely suitable place to tie the knot . Among the most excit- ing events that took place at the chapel were weddings. The chapel was famous for marrying alumni.

It was 12 noon and your stomach was growling. You had an hour before your next class, but you didn ' t feel like walking all the way home just to make a sandwich. So you went through your backpack and came up with a few bucks in change. This was it, all the money you had. Better choose the right place. Fortunately, Athens had quite a few places to spend those few bucks uptown. And here ' s a guide to those places. Hardee ' s — Here we had a basic fast-food resturant, complete with styrofoam burger boxes and orange seat- ing. The food wasn ' t bad, though, and the price was right. Plus it was close to campus. Frisch ' s Big Boy — Located next to Hardee ' s on Union St., Frisch ' s offered bigger, better burgers and a variety of other dishes. The atmosphere sat somewhere between Hardee ' s and a real restu- rant, with vinyl benches and a minarure juke box at every table, but waitresses brought food to you, and it was un- wrapped. The food was very good, and reasonably priced. Towne House Restaruant — This place was a lot like Big Boy, but it was not a chain. The food wasn ' t bad and it was a good place to eat it. Un- derrated. (Towne House Resturant was remodeling at the end of the 1986 school year). The Pub — As the name im- plies, was just like an old English Pub, with lots of wood and a friendly atmo- sphere that begs you to come back. The food was excellent and cheap. You could get a big steak sandwich and a beer for about $3, among other bargains. Sports Deli — Here you could eat a big Italian sausage on a freshly baked bun, a hot dog or a deli sandwich for peanuts. Oh, you could get those, too. The Sports Deli, next to CJ ' s bar, had a friendly ball-park atmosphere with a bar and carry-out. It was new and it was good. (Sports Deli 2JL Mark Zupon Telecommunication Malt Zwidc Photography was changed to the Cats ' Den the beginning of Spring 1986). Dexter ' s Sub Station — Dexter ' s was a huge sub shop chain, but despite their size, the subs were still very good and the prices reasonable. You could eat there or have it delivered. Hole in the Wall — Rough- ly equivalent to Dexter ' s, but with occasional deals to break the confusing tie. Pizza House — Uptown pizza by the slice for 90 cents. Not a great pizza, but when you were standing in line for the bars, you couldn ' t beat it. Angelo ' s — Another Uptown Pizza establishment. Not a bad pizza, but not a very good one either. Angelo ' s also delivers. (Angelo ' s and Dexter ' s combined in the Spring of 1986 to have two of in each in the uptown area). Pizza Express — A very professional outfit — they knew how to do it right. The delivery was on time or the Riegel pizza was free, and the pizza was hot when it arrived. In all, Pizza Express was a very good pizza. They should be proud. (Pizza Express changed their name to Doctor Pizza in the Spring of 1986). Big Daddy ' s Pizza and Subs — Big Daddy gave you a thick, deep-dish crust, lots of spicy sauce, gobs of mozzarella cheese and a real pile of mest , and they delivered FAST. That means the pizza was, still still steam- ing when it got to you. The subs were also very good . Big Daddy also delivered beer. Domino ' s Pizza — Also known as the McDonald ' s of pizza, Domino ' s was always there when you needed them. Not bad, but not great. Souvlaki ' s — A Greek sub shop that gave you what you paid for. Big helpings, and you wanted more when you were done. Overall, a decent place to eat. IjjJOfJ) Watts-Zwick — 1 69 On a raining night in Athens, two students cross Court Street.

The university offers courses from the study of English to mathematics and from real estate to mechanical engineering. These classes that students took and were required to take were to help them acquire a well rounded education. Courses like Math and English were required in the freshman year as part of Tier I. The Tier system was in- itiated in September 1980 and consisted of three parts. Tier I dealt with Quanti- tative skills. Tier II dealt with the Breadth of knowledge and Tier III with the Synthesis. This was the combination of all education into one. For Larry Schw- ing, Tier III is a bunch of bunk. All it synthesized for me was that a Liberal Arts education is useless. Once students chose a major there were different courses they needed to take to get their specific degrees. In Marketing, the major course for seniors was MKT 463 491, Marketing Strategy. Jay Cavey said after completing the course that he felt, A great sense of accomplishment after all the work. It was fun too. I ' ll never forget Lovely Charlotte Booker. For most students upon entering college the goal was to graduate. Waite Buckley said, Some people say my secret mission was graduation, but it wasn ' t. It was to spend more than $100 in one night uptown. No matter how or what the reasons of students were in their years here, off and on, academics were Off The Wall! Academic Divider — 17 Jeanine Ward Nontraditional students get a chance to get degrees Traditionallly, students were thought to be ages 18-23. Although this is not always true at OU. The Life Long Learning program offers educational programs for the non- traditional student. Both credit and noncredit classes were offered that could or could not be applied toward a degree. Three offices house the Life Long Learning classes: Adult Learning, Independent Study and Continuing Educa- tion. The Adult Learning program services instruction toward degrees. They can be obtained by two methods. One is by applying the experience of their career or externally. The experience method of studying is for those students who have been out in the real world and would like to earn a degree. This degree type of studying helped the student apply his experience to the material studied in class and obtain a degree quicker. External study includes nontraditional students who obtain a degree though ex- amination by course credit and numerous other types of methods. The second part of the LLL program is the Independent Study program. These courses can be obtained through correspondence, independent projects, or credit examinations. The last part of the LLL program is Continuing Educa- tion. This is the part of the program that anyone can take advantage of, whether an un- dergraduate or not enrolled in the university. The Life Long Learning program is a vital part of Athens County and Ohio University. It gives the chance for under- graduates and those of the community to take university classes and for nontraditional students to obtain those long awaited degrees. |j7fjT|] I 72 — Academics Life Long Learning A summer workshop through the Life Long Learning de- partment is a music class.

A wide range of programs were offered for teaching in elementary and high schools, and other educational positions. Each program was thus designed to prepare students to enter positions possessing the liberal back- ground, functional knowledge, and professional understanding and skill which are useful for teaching success. 3 , With the little ones, listening is an important part of being a teacher. 1 74 — Academics One on one correspondance with children is a way to learn the art of teaching.

The faculty and administration will focus on the im- provement of five areas: fewer, but better students; a balance between teaching and research; stronger graduate programs; rigor with fair- ness in promotion and tenure documents and procedures; and recognition for excellence. The college advises, supports and provides many laboratory ex- periences for i ts students including; THE POST, ACRN, WOUB TV- FM-AM, and the Athens Magazine. Student clubs and organizations include the Public Relations Student Society of America, the Adver- tisement Club, Black Students Communication Caucus, Alpha Epsilon Rlio (National Broadcasting Honor Society), American Society for Training and Development , Society for Training and Develop- ment, Society of Professional Journalists, Women in Communica- tion, and Students in Communica- tion Management. Students also serve the university through slide show presentations, news bureaus, student internships on and off campus, workshops, and First Amendment congresses.

The Advisor was a campus wide publication which provided up to date information on advisors for students. The University Professor Program is sponsored by the University College. Tliis program acknowledged six professors for ex- cellence in teaching. The selection was made a committee of under- graduate students who reviewed the professors. Each professor selected was awarded one thousand dollars for professional and educational development. The professor was also released to develop and teach two new courses. Ohio University is proud to boast of being the only university with a program of this kind. , said University College staff member Mark Graham.

The College of Business Adminis- tration requires a student to have achieved a minimum grade-point average of 2.0 in the pre-professional core requirements. Usually, freshmen were admitted directly into the College of Business Administration if they had gradu- ated in the top forty percent of their high school class. The CBA adopted a new rule con- cerning academic probation and dis- missal. The students must have completed the pre-professional core with an accumulative grade-point of 2.0 by the time they had earned ninety credit hours. If they did not meet this requirement , they were given one quarter ' s probation to achieve it. By the end of the quarter, if they still had not met the requirements, they were dropped from the college. When a student wished to repeat a course in the CBA core, they were given three attempts. If the student failed three times, they were dropped from the college also. Enrollment during the 1985-86 school year was a little higher than usual. The normal quota of under- graduate students was 1600, but that number was raised to 1625 in 1985. The graduate student enroll- ment was listed at 100. According to John E. Stinson, Dean of the College of Business Administration, there was no straight cut off for admit- tance into the college. The average person admitted into the CBA graduated in the top eighty of his class and received a 23.5 on the ACT Test. Approximately 375 freshmen were accepted directly into the college.

A liberal education The Col lege of Arts and Sciences held to what had been the central purpose of the college in 1804: to provide opportunities for students to secure a sound liberal educa- tion. A liberal education focuses on the more general concerns of humanity. The curriculum was designed to cause students to familiarize themselves with the languages, humanities, social sciences and natural sciences along with letting them focus on one specialized area. The college was comprised of twenty depar- tments so a student had a lot to chose from. A liberal education implies ac- tive effort on the part of the student to learn what is taught. Its greatest service is in its commitment to reason, in its search for knowledge and in its devotion to the study of mankind ' s many cultures. Political Science is the subject that this professor is lecturing to these students. Beakers and burners are just a few instruments needed in the study of chamistry.

Organizations were the people who were in a purposive systematic arrangement. They helped to extent students ' education in other areas besides academic or gave some practical experience in fields they wished to persue. The groups that were active on campus covered the areas of communication, like The Post, Public Relations Student Society of America and the Black Student Communication Caucus. Other groups were involved in programming like, Center Program Board, Black Student Center Program Board and the Lecture Series committee. Center Program Board brought Stevie Ray Vaugh to Memorial Auditorium in the Winter as one of their projects. Organizations of the social type included the Greek System. Most of these organizations were involved in projects that helped to extend their members ' academic excellence and contributions to the surrounding community through service programs.

Six females and six males comprised the 1985-86 cheerleading squad. Practices were held immediately following tryouts in April, late in the summer before classes started and twice a week for two hours dur- ing each quarter. Dressed in green and white, the squad set out to build spirit in the stands. Work- ing long, hard hours practicing cheers, creating new chants and supporting the teams whether they were victorious or not was the job of the cheerleaders. Cheerleaders are a tradition, said Carol Kault, cheerleading coach. Sports would go on without them, but they add alot of ex- citement to the games. They are the strings that link good sports and sportsmanship together. They do what the crowd is already doing, Carol said. The criteria for being a good cheerleader included athletic ability, coordination, energy and enthusiasm, said the squad. Cheerleader Jim Gills added that the squad needed more people to try out. I don ' t think just anyone could stand in front of a Kim Walker big crowd, he said. Many of the cheerleaders said they earned respect from doing it because being a cheerleader wasn ' t easy. It meant work- ing with the same group of people all the time, traveling to away games the night before a midterm, practicing at Grover Center and performing on campus in front of your peers. We ' re like our own little family, said one of the men. It is safe to say that cheerleaders were a special part of athletics at O.U. They brightened faces with their handsprings and sommersaults, generated smiles with new chants and helped keep the crowd in- terested in the game. Whether they were performing at Miami, the Convocation Center or at a pep rally on the College Green, O.U. ' s cheerleaders stood proud. With motions strong and voices loud, they brought energy to a sometimes lifeless crowd.

Hockey and rugby were varsity sports. False. These two sports, as well as ten others were considered club sports and were not eligible for varsity status. Because of a tight financial situation, twelve club sports were recognized; rugby (men and women), lacrosse (men and women), frisbee (men and women), ice hockey, volleyball, boxing, racquetball, tae kwan do, karate, rifle, barbell and eqi estrian rid- ing. How were club sports d ' rferent from varsity sports? In general, th z rules and the operation of the club tea ' ns were much more lenient. For example, students parti- cipating in club sports did not have to maintain a certain GPA in order to remain on the team. Some of the teams did not have tryouts. They simply accepted all who were interested and willing to participate. One drawback was the lack of scholarships available for persons who excelled in a club sport. Another difference between club and varsity sports was that some of the club teams did not engage in competition. These clubs, such as the barbell club were just groups of people getting together and doing something they enjoyed to keep physically fit. Teams such as rugby and hockey, however, did compete against other schools. Club sports were financed partly by the Student Activities Commission, but mainly by the individuals who took part in them. Many teams held fundraisers to help pay for the costs of equipment and traveling. Some donations were received by alumni who specifically asked that their con- tributions be used to support club sports. 208 — Organizations w ' •.:.■. 9M Sylvia Mickanaus and Julie Nichols practice Karate after classes with other members of their group. ► -.

Rugby — 215 Student Senate Serving the school The Student Senate provided many services to Ohio University, including the alternative book exchange, student escort service, campus voter registration, and black O.U. They also kept students in- formed on University issues. Student Senate successfully completed four alternative book exchanges. The way this operated was rather simple. Students brought their books and put a price on them. Then the books were sorted bv departments and sold. Students could usually expect to receive seventy-five percent of what they paid for the books, which was a much better deal than was received at the book stores. If the books did not sell they were returned to the student. The book exchanges took place once a quarter. Another well valued service that the Student Senate provided was the student escort service. This service began four years ago and had just finally evolved into a well- used aid. This idea began under the women ' s affairs commission and became affilliated with the Greek society. Another important and appropriate function of the Senate was registering students to vote. The Senate used a different approach to get students to register. They held parties and sponsored an event named Regfest. The Student Senate also supported and supervised Black O.U. The Black O.U. program was an orientation for minoritv college students. It provided a way for the minority students to become involved in student government. It was made up of representatives from black fraternities and clubs. Probably the most important function of Student Senate was to deal with issues fac- ing the University and its students. As a state university, we were controlled by the state budget, therefore the Senate had to deal with the state rather than just with the University. Student Senate was dealing with the controversy of having foreign speaking teaching assistants. They were also trying to get students to be able to sit in with the board of trustees.

Ideas crept out of the woodwork and creativity filled the air. Typewriters buzzed and telephones rang while Posties rushed to meet deadlines. The Post is a professional paper staffed by students, said Laralyn Sasaki, editor of the Post. We try to bring the community to. the students. The Post answered questions. If you need a ride home, wanted to sell your waterbed, needed a paper typed or a coupon for a local pizza place, The Post was the place to look. One highlight for most students was the person- als. Students could say just about anything to anyone you liked or didn ' t like in a personal. You could meet other people, make an announcement or wish someone a happy birthday. The Post offered an editorial page with letters to the editor and a page or two on sports. When you mood shifted to some- thing lighter, there was Doonsbury, Bloom County or Big Guy on Campus. In addi- tion, The Post delivered news five days a week and informed students on national, local and school news. 228 — Organizations Ryors Dorm Gov ' t D.G.

As friends, relatives and visitors look through this revue of the 1985-86 school year, we hope that they can see the special activeness and dedication Ohio University had to everyone who had dealings with it. At Graduation, Peter Ueberroth made the comment that those of us who were graduating were very special. Not everyone can say they are a college graduate. Some of us may take that for granted, but it is important to remember. Graduating was also special for those present because, it was from an off the wall school. The Chubb Hall steps are a nice place to relax for this student.
