Old Dominion University - Troubador Yearbook (Norfolk, VA)

Text from Pages 1 - 116 of the 1972 volume:

A 'I r esident James L. Bugg, Jr.: We li e or v e die by the suppor get in Richmond. I was reading a pamphlet that came out from the Office of Education last summer which Indicates that up to this point, nobody knows what an urban Institution is. The first thing that It is is a university, and that's the important thing. A university has a very definite meaning and a very definite connotation. It means that there is a basic concern not only for good teaching, but a real concern for the discovery of knowledge. There is a certain aspect to a university that is important. The first thing to be said is that Old Dominion is becoming and must become a university and that the urban is taken within this context. The metropolitan area is a vast laboratory which Old Dominion could use much more than it has done in the past, through a kind of practically oriented courses and through the use of student apprentices. Old Dominion is a part of the metropolitan area and it has certain responsibilities to meet the professional needs of the city, particularly in supplying and training professional kinds of people. I’m not certain myself whether an urban university is a separate animal. I know well enough what a university is. The basic thing that a university gives to a community is an educational institution that has not only a basic liberal arts and science course, but a group of professional schools that on the faculty there is a body of expertise that is available to the community. That makes a tremendous difference. There are certain specific needs that Old Dominion University, because it is located where it is and because it has been given the mission that it has by the State Council, has to meet. And these become priorities for us. We live or die by the support we get in Richmond. What kind of support is going to depend to a considerable degree on how much the community supports us. There is both a public relations kind of support and specifically a financial support that a community could give to an institution. Adequate financial support is a basic problem. Old Dominion cannot be supported at the rate it is being supported which is, let’s say, one half to two-thirds of what the other universities in the state are being supported, and hope to progress very far. But over and beyond this, I’d say that our biggest problem is probably one of shifting from what is essentially a college psychology to a university psychology. This is not easy. It means thinking in terms of the institution as more than simply a teaching institution, though it’s that too. If there’s a third problem, it is a problem of what I suppose I’d call pride in the institution. A non-resident operation,which Old Dominion is, always has a hard time getting the kind of loyalty that a resident institution has, because students don’t live on the campus twenty-four hours a day; they come and go and they’ve got other competing loyalties. To have the kind of confidence and pride and belief in the operation is important and it’s something that needs to be worked on here. This is probably also true of the faculty, the administration, and the staff. I Our problem is not so much the number of dollars it costs us to acquire land as It is the question of the displacement of people which is a second urban problem which affects Old Dominion. We are trying to work with the city now and to work hopefully in conjunction with city agencies that will let this problem be as easy as possible. We know, for example, that the area we’re due to move into, which is Lambert’s Point, is going to give people who live there a lot of problems. They’ve got to move...Certainly a problem that any urban campus has got to be concerned with is traffic: Traffic pattern, traffic Jams, and all that goes with it. And here Old Dominion is less fortunate than many urban institutions because many of them are built pretty much alongside a freeway, and we’re not...This is a problem that I don’t know fully the answer to. We already have problems and as the institution grows we’re going to have more problems in terms of simply getting here. Once you’re here you’ve got the problem of what you do with the cars. It’s obvious we’ve got a parking problem. We are trying to solve through a system of trying systematically to apply parking fees, which we are collecting, to the parking problem itself m terms of not only taking the lots we’ve got and making them permanent lots, but hopefully acquiring more property as we can get the funds to do this. Up to this point it’s been done on a pretty haphazard basis. The state appropriates money and we bought a lot and we made a parking lot out of it. But the state has dropped us now as a responsibility and pretty much put it on the institution. So we’re trying through setting up a parking fund and using it to maintain and to expand parking facilities and more or less keep up with our needs. Right now we have about half the number of spaces we need and until we get caught up we’re going to be in trouble on some kind of reasonable ratio basis. In terms of new programs, when Old Dominion was given the Vought campus, it was handed a priority in engineering, so that the Ph.D. program in Oceanography is almost equally as important, and hopefully we will have such a program in operation within a very few years. As a matter of fact, we intend tp ask the State Council to approve such a program, hopefully, sometime this year. Over and beyond this there is the broad context of urban studies. We are trying to find out now exactly what kinds of programs we set up. We’ll certainly have some programs in urban studies. What I’d like to see is a basic undergraduate program with a group of courses and with specialties which radiate from these. So a student, for example, could major in sociology, but he would be able to major in urban studies so therefore he would come out essentially in urban sociology. I� d like to see us, in education, move much mo.-e specifically in the direction of urban education than has been true here in the past. Beyond this I think I’d like to see us place some emphasis on the social sciences particularly which, I think are very critical in any program that has an urban emphasis to it. I’d like to see us start a Masters program in Sociology and in Political Science within the relatively near future. Mathematics we’ll go to Masters level work on, because this is needed in conjunction with the engineering program which we’ve already gotten approved. Mayor Itoy B. Martin Old Dominion wouldn’t be what it is today if it hadn’t been for the city of Norfolk.” The role of an urton university, primarily. Is to give the educational services and fill the needs of the young people in the immediate area . . . Old Dominion's come a long way ... It has always been a very good school and today I think It Is recognized academically as having come ahead tremendously. If we can continue to encourage the state to put funds into it, there's no limit to what Old Dominion can mean, not only to Tidewater Virginia, but to the entire Commonwealth. . . Of course, Old Dominion wouldn't be what it Is today if if hadn’t been for the city of Norfolk. For years Norfolk would buy land for Old Dominion expansion and hold it until the state legislature would break loose with a few dollars to pay for the land. The city and the taxpayers of Norfolk have put untold thousands of dollars into Old Dominion and lost interest on money that the state has never recoupered. This was done because we felt that the university would mean so much to Norfolk and to all of Tidewater. The state appreciates Old Dominion more, but the demands for higher education by all of the universities and colleges that are supported by the state are greater; and for Old Dominion to get its share It is going to have to continue to fight for it. Per student allocation by the state to Old Dominion is so much smaller than, for example, from where I graduated, University of Virginia, that It is ridiculous. Especially when you see what Old Dominion is doing. . . So, I don’t think the state of Virginia is really being fair in its allocation of funds to Old Dominion. When Old Dominion was put in that location, no one could conceive that Norfolk and all of Tidewater would be what it is today. I don’t think it would ever have been considered to put it right there in the middle of an already pretty densely populated area without any real room for growth as far as a campus is concerned. . . But I think we’ve been fortunate in being able to, through the city’s participation and through redevelopment programs, acquire the land and expand the campus the way we have. . . From a traffic point of view, it certainly would have been more desirable to have Old Dominion more towards the center of the city rather than right on the western fringe of it, but we can’t have everything, and basically you’ve got a good facility there. . . The biggest problem I’ve heard from people out there as far as traffic is concerned is the lack of parking. And this is not a city problem; it’s one that belongs to the university, which I understand is providing more spaces now. The university can give to the community a number of things. Primarily it has given to the city of Norfolk a very valuable industry. . . It's really pumped a lot of new dollars into Tidewater. Secondly, the atmosphere of an academici community brings a type of intellect that is desirable in many cases. In some cases it brings an undesirable who is more interested in stirring up controversies than in finding solutions to problems, but you'll find that in any college. Those type of people seem to migrate to the academic world, but the bringing together of nine to ten thousand young people into our community is good for the community life. It gives an approach to a community that is desirable. Beyond that, you have established certain things that have been beneficial to the city—the police academy, for example. . .The community can give to the university support both through finincial assistance and through the moral support in the halls of the legislature . . . It's a two way street: I don't think you can expect the college to do everything for the community or vice versa . . We've got to work together. The university's biggest problem isthesame as facing the city of Norfolk: money. If you had the funds that have been requested by President Bugg for the expansion of your facilities and the increasing of your faculty and the raising of your faculty salaries, your major problems would be gone. The same is true for the city of Norfolk: If we had the dollars, we could do so many of the things that are necessary. Money is the primary problem, but after you get the money, you've still got the human element to work with . . . After you get the dollars, then the concern comes to a mutual understanding between the faculty, the administration, and the student body. One thing I wish Old Dominion would do, and I am confident I’ll never live longenough to see it, is get a football team that would be a winner. Professor A1 Teich: It’s growing pains, that’s exactly what we have.” I don't believe that the community gives the respect to the university that it deserves. . . . Maybe I can give you another illustration . “Expert is always someone from out of town but we have persons over here who can conduct many of the surveys and the research programs that the university and business firms in the area hire other people outside to conduct. From time to time this university has tried to get these projects and lost them. We've made tremendous strides at Old Dominion in earlier years. . . but I don't think you find this spirit of dedication any more. . . You know there are two ways to quit: one is to leave, and one is to stay--but do nothing. And I believe that unless the administration finds a means of approaching the faculty, that a good number of the faculty will quit in one way or the other. The role of an urban university should be to supply the educational needs of the people living in the urban university. The problems of being an urban university as far as Old Dominion is concerned are great. The first thing of course is the financial problem, which basically comes around from the political problem. . . . The problem we've had at Old Dominion ever since if started is the same problem that Norfolk has had as far as the rest of the state is concerned. We’ve just been sort of the outcast historically speaking: the aristocracy lived up river, lived in Richmond or on the James plantations. Down here we had the merchant seamen and the maritime trade, and the plantation class always looked down on the merchant class. And so, as the power has shifted they’ve always looked down on us. . . . We concentrate to serve the needs of the people in this area, and so therefore we don’t have a good political base around the rest of the state. And since we don’t have that good political base, we don’t get the money we need. They’re not as sympathetic. ... Of course, one way to solve that is to establish a law school. And if you ever established a law school then you’d bring people in from outside and they, lawyers (since over half the General Assembly is made up of lawyers), are going to run for the General Assembly so we’ll not only have the votes in Norfolk . . . . we’d- have people from the rest of the state being interested in us. When I came here fourteen years ago, I used to say that Old Dominion (then William and Mary In Norfolk) was nothing more than a glorified high school. It is now developed into a college, and Is really verging on becoming a university. The acquisition of the name “university doesn't mean that you really are one. I think we’re doing It, but as a result we have to develop an entirely new administrative structure. The old-line faculty members have to become accustomed to the newer situation. Many people came to Old Dominion who thought they were basically coming to a teaching Institution, a college. . . . Now It’s developing Into an urban university which needs teaching and research and publication. I think we have a tremendous lack of facilities for It, and you can’t really expect faculty members to teach the load that they do and do meaningful research and publication. In other words, it’s growing pains; that’s exactly what we have. I think that probably one of the most Interesting things that Old Dominion Is giving to the community right now is what e would call extension educational programs; .... It brings in an entirely new Insight to life. Old Dominion can give to the community not only a cultural uplift but it can give It an educational uplift , It can broaden the horizons of the Individuals living In the community .... This Is the whole purpose of education anyway: to introduce a person to the world around him. ... we ought to still be able to enjoy learning for the sake of learning. 1 firmly believe that the community should give more financial support. It Just isn’t doing it. . . One of the reasons they haven’t done it of course Is they’re afraid If they start picking U up then the state Is going to drop Its aid. I believe that probably the biggest problem at the current time deals with the morale of the faculty. In any time of expansion, any time you have a new administration coming In, you are going to have a radical change in the whole program and purpose of the university; you’re going to have morale problems. I do not believe that our faculty is overwhelmingly 100% in support of the current administration. They don’t understand It, they don’t know where they stand with the administration. . . I believe that there has been a drift developing Into a widening gap between the faculty and the administration. I don’t believe the faculty understands the administration and I don’t really believe the administration understands the faculty. . . I firmly believe that any administrator in the academic line should always teach. Therefore every dean should teach at least one course, every administrator and I even include the President. 1 think that its an absolute necessity that the academic administrators teach so that they can understand the problems of the teachers, the professors, and the students, and you can’t do it If you’re Isolated In an office. Student Caucus sident Bruce BisTop''We still h iv n’t made the choice. An urban university first has to be centered in some kind of metropolitan area. Actually it� s a very distinctive university; it’s very specialized. It’s not a comprehensive university in the sense that it offers programs in a very wide field; it's all concentrated in the field of urban studies . . .It's a university that has a great deal of innovation and experimentation, especially in its courses. It also provides the trained leadership to help solve the urban problems that are homogeneous to urban areas across the nation. We've Just never developed the type of research that is needed to try to solve these problems. And that's what an urban university is trying to do. It has to hit it from a lot of different angles. Throughout the university you have to get away from a traditional university structure, and this includes your curriculum. In education you have to do a lot more with inner city education and specialized education for a metropolitan area. It is different. You have to go into mass transit systems. You have to look at the governmental systems in metropolitan areas. A lot of research has to be done in regional government: which type of government can best solve the problems? Then, you have to look at ecology: water pollution, noise pollution, air pollution . . . What I'd like to see is an urban university, yes, but not so distinctive that it is useful only to this area. But a lot of the problems that are faced in an urban area like Tidewater are going to be faced by a lot of other urban areas all across the eastern seaboard, all across the nation ... So if we can provide the trained leadership to help solve the problems that are homogeneous will all these areas here we're doing quite a bit. In solving theproblems of the Tidewater area, you're going to help solve the problems of these other areas. So you could say it's a distinctive regional university also. We're Just getting into this area now. We still haven't made the choice, I don’t think. We still have a very traditional curriculum, the structure in traditional. But I think we're moving in the right direction. 1 think the move will be made in the next couple of years. It’s going to depend a lot on the faculty whether they want to make the move too. I think that we'll make the choice, but I don’t think that it's been translated into action yet. Probably it has been made: that we’ll go into urban areas. But I know Louis Mayhew wasn’t exactly too pleased with the new mission of the university, it’s too general. It’s not distinctively urban in nature, really. The university provides leadership to help solve the urban problems. It provides service in many facets. In the field of research, it’s got to provide research in trying to solve the urban problems. They can’t Just train the leadership and then let the leadership go out and try to solve them, it has to provide the research also tohelpwiththis.. . It has to provide an evening college program which is very strong. I think ours has been strong; it’s been upgraded considerably m the last couple of years. They also have to provide a great number of extension programs . . We have a police academy here and I think that’s important for most any urban institution. . . A lot of schools call it volunteerlsm. Whatever you call it, you’re going to have to do basic education programs in personal hygiene, nutrition, psychological counseling. Of course we need this on campus, really; I think we do you’re going to have to do it in the surrounding community also . . .You have to work for better off-campus housing for students especially in an urban area where it’s very critical. We might establish an urban life center in which there would be an internship program in various governmental structures in the community . . . Drug information and a rescue program: we’ve never tried anything like this. An urban university ought to provide this basic information because it’s such a problem in urban areas. Draft information, police relations, day-care centers are going to be increasingly important. . . Accounting aid: Business majors could go out in the community and give aid to low-income familleson income tax, how to keep a budget, and consumer protection. You can have community food programs, counseling for Juvenile probation court, sending students out as counselors... You can work with the elderly and with the blind. Community recreation programsneed a lot of help. It would be good to have a Job referral program also. Mental health: we’ve never entered this field yet . . . Secretarial aid is needed for a 11 these service agencies in the community. Now this could all be tied into academic credit. A lot of schools have done this. I think Old Dominion is going to have to get into this area if it’s going to become an urban institution. Money is very scarce in an urban area and universities in urban areas are usually new universities. The trend a few years ago was still towards comprehensive universities, like VPI and UVa. They seem to get a lot of money, as we know. The newer universities are not as well established. Also, you have a large commuter problem with an urban university. Wayne State University Just did a very comprehensive study on the commuter problem; 1 think Old Dominion will probably have to do one on this also . . . You also have an inner city problem. A lot of times universities are located in the inner city area. As the university expands, it often creates the conditions that it’s trying to solve. You have to watch out for that. Also you have less room to expand because there's a scarcity of land in urban areas. It’s not as bad in Norfolk as in some places, like VCU, which has a terrific expansion problem . . .Also you have to make sure the university is not going to add to the environmental pollution in the area . . . Another problem would be admissions. Once you’ve made the choice and you’ve made the curriculum changes, you have to get away from a very traditional structure in admission, where you Just depend on, say, your SATs and your standing in your class. You are going to have to draw people whose overall standing was not that excellent, but that in a specialized area were excellent students. It’s going to be several years from now until we make the change. We shouldn’t change the admissions structure until we’ve made the choice and made the other changes. But I think we might m the future. It’s not dropping the standards, really. I’m against that. I’m against Louis Mayhew’s suggestion that we have open admissions. But sometimes a very outstanding student in one area is not outstanding at all in another area. So I’m saying we don’t necessarily have to look for somebody that’s outstanding in all the areas. I don’tthinkanopenadmisslonspolicy is going to help matters at all. There’s quite a few people in college who shouldn’t be there in the first place. They are there because they’ve been forced to. We’ve got to put more emphasis in high school on vocational training and the University can help in this also. With parking, we’re making progress, however slow it is. The money problem ties in with this. It costs so much to develop parking lots in the first place. Now the way it happened here is a good way to show interaction between the community and the university. Norfolk usually holds the land for us. They buy it from whoever owns it and hold it for us until we’re able to buy it. But the state is not providing the money to buy these lands. We have to do it by bond issues. Take the parking lot behind the Student Center: It’s costing well over seven hundred thousand dollars to develop that parkinglot. Parking, Ithink, will improve this year significantly. It’s not going to be the big problem at the end of this year that it was at the beginning of the year, especially when that new parking lot is through. But I can’t say, I don’t think anybody can say realistically, that we're going to solve completely the parking problem, in the next five years. The university’s going to grow southward and what we’re really going to need to do is to come up with a master plan. . . we can’t expand anymore, no new buildings and new parking lots, until we come out with a new master plan. So that’s what they’re doing now, and I think it's going to have to include parking. We’ve never done that in the past. Parkmgdevelop-ment has been very helter-skelter. As the President said, lt’stime we stopped building the buildings around parking lots, and build the parking lots a round the buildings... . There’s got to be a lot of interaction between the community and the university. It’s not Just a one-way street; the university can’t provide all the services. I think that the community is going to have to step into areas where the university cannot function. A lot of universities and communities tie in services. They have, for example, a computer center which is used by the community and the university. Now I can’t say whether that would work here, but it is the type of thing I mean. A lot of things are getting very expensive nowadays, so it would be advantageous to have one center which provides information or provides a service for both the university and the community. It’s a Joint effort. For Old Dominion University the community can provide support. They have to help provide the money. Now the city itself won’t do this, but they have to push in the state legislature, where the money comes from. In community action projects, the city has to work along with the university . . . Take for example, one of the major problems we have is parking. The community helps us a great deal with parking. It’s shared resources, that’s the key word here. Two Wheels Good, Four Wheels Bad” George Orwell’s phrase in Animal Farm can be adapted to describe ODlPs current transportation problems. The automobile represents the source of many problems: parking, pollution, traffic. The bicycle represents the answer to these problems. Bicycles appear ! with increasing frequency on campus .... will they ever replace the enemy—the car? Parking - - another hassle I t Hampton Blvd. Mayor Roy B. Martin: “I hear motorists complaining about the students at Old Dominion who just stroll across the street and more or less defy traffic. 1 think traffic on Hampton Blvd. today will be diminishing tremendously when Colley Avenue underpass is open in a matter of a few weeks. If it doesn’t I think certainly some previsions will eventually have to be made.” L ;£• r rk }rnfZ- s' si-r Ji 1 V 71 Vv jm r Kf' (%? This is Troubadour 1972 F ■T Wi [VJ ,W PM teJ ecj li r • ht.

SCHOOL OF ARTS AND LETTERS OLD DOMINION UNIVERSITY iso Mffwtu a imocu'1% uc-n .om: a simit co co .i� c New programs in Psych and Engineering. The State Council of Higher Education approved ODlPs plan to offer the area’s first master of science program in psychology, beginning September 1972, and the state’s first bachelor’s degree program in engineering technology. Also approved was the long-awaited doctorate program in engineering. According to Dean Rotty of the School of Engineering, the doctorate program should be offered here at ODU for several reasons: First of all, this area has the most people in Virginia (excluding the Washington DC area) and also there is a great deal of sophisticated construction in this area. In addition, the program will enhance undergraduate studies and give students some direction. Approximately fifty students will be enrolled in the program at first The program will draw business to the area, and will help ODU receive more recognition as an university. Speaking for the Psychology Department, Dr. Kirby, department chairman, cited several reasons for having a masters program at ODU. Kirby said that it will be a stimulus to the faculty and undergraduates, it will prepare area residents who are unable to leave the area for doctorate study, and there is a need in this area for psychologists, and such a program will bring more psychologists to this area. Kirby does not anticipate a doctorate program in psychology any time soon; it is not considered essential at this time. Kirby listed one primary problem with the department at the present: More space is needed, and the department needs to be more centralized. Present facilities are not adequate; at the present time the department is spread out all over campus. Kirby expressed the hope that ultimately, upon the completion of the new Arts and Letters building, some space will be given to the Psychology Department, possibly in the Education Building. The proposed Life Science Building, when and if completed, will ultimately house the Department. RV Linwood Holton: the Institute of Oceano- graphy’s new research vessel, replacing the Albatross, which was driven aground by a storm off Cape Hatteras and rendered un-salvagable. Named for the governor and christened by his wife on October 12, the new research vessel will be a floating laboratory for graduate students in coastal oceanography. The acquisition of the ship and new lab building are all elements of Oceanography’s drive to initiate a doctorate program. At present ODU has applied to the state for approval of the program, and the earliest initiation of the program would be September 1972. ODU’s location is ideal for coastal oceanography research, drawing upon William Mary’s program i nest urine biology, and ODU’s program in physical oceanography. According to Dr. John Ludwick. director of Oceanography, it is likely that more undergraduate courses in oceanography will be offered in the future. Great expectations is what we have for the next season of the Soccer Team, which this year was filled with freshmen and sophomores. This season was a losing one, hurt by both a lack of funds and adequate coaching. Head Coach Steve Cottrell was overworked having, in addition to his soccer responsibilities, duties as Freshman Basketball Head Coach and Assistant Varsity Coach. What ODU needs is a soccer coach with no other coaching responsibilities. Above: Tom McAndrews in action. McAndrews made the Virginia East-West All Star Team tor the second year in a row.

And the Geology Department in particular. Soggy rocks do not make for a happy geologist. Nor did the flood in their basement headquarters in OA bring the geologists delight. The University’s reaction to Ginger? The same as for any other meteorological matter: “The University will not cancel classes because of inclement weather.” There is more, but suffice to say that come hell, highwater, or hurricanes, the University will go on. A panty raid at ODU dorms? Aw, c’mon! Normal-type non-apathetic college activities like that never happen here. Or so we thought. On October 19, approximately 200 male students launched a raid on Rogers and Gresham, the exact details of which were lost in the confusion. Charges of assault were registered by two Rogers women, and other incidents were reported. The raid took everyone by surprise, including campus photographers, who were unable to get to the scene in time. Rumors of a counter-raid led by women residents brought photographers out, but the situation was relatively calm on October 20. However, on the following night, a water war broke out between male residents of Gresham and Rogers, involving approximately 150 students.

Coach Jackson faces some difficulty next year, with three out of the four graduating this year. Clark will be back next year, but the team will be without the services of York, currently the state’s top diver, and Leary and Kinney, who consistently placed first or second in most of the events they participated in. World’s Greatest Jazz Band. In concert at the ODU Fieldhouse. 11 o’clock classes canceled on Friday: an invitation to break for the weekend. At least, not many showed up to hear Yank Lawson, Bob Haggert, and the band at their November 19 show. But not everybody likes good jazz either.

Miss Norfolk, Regina Royster, was on hand for half time festivities, as was “Big Blue,” a seedy-looking lion who serves as Mascot. Capping off Big Blue Day was a dance presented by Theta Chi and held in the Student Center. Closed The word which strikes fear in the hearts of all students at Registration. Fall ’71 was no exception. New procedures were added to eliminate a lot of confusion. There was a lot of confusion. And waiting.

Produced by AGL and Creative Productions and presented by the IFC and VVNOR Radio. Hey kids, what time is it? - David Brinkley kicked off the 1971-1972 convocation series, speaking to a crowd of 6000 in the ODU gym on December 6. Brinkley discussed the state of the nation and found the crowd unusually receptive. As in the past, a question and answer period was scheduled in a smaller meeting room, but it was decided to move back into the gym when more than 500 showed up. A cliffhanger with Norfolk State A crowd of 8,600 watched as Rudy Peele sank an incredible jump shot at the end of regulation play, putting the game into overtime, during which Norfolk State defeated ODU, 122-119. Dave Twardzik led all ODU scorers with 25 points; Ricky Michaelsen had 24 points for his most outstanding game thus far. ODU played well except for a lack of consistent rebounding, which can be seen as the cause of OD’s slow start. } Another Loss--To Georgia Southern 101-98. A contest of very evenly matched teams. Dave Twardzik was high scorer with 28 points; Jay Rountree got 22 rebounds and seemed to be finally playing up to his potential. At the end of this game, ODLPs record was 1-5, and four of those losses were a difference of only three points or less. The Gymnastics Team: CoachGeraid George, J. Cookson, R. Blackmen, R. Shackleford, C. Davis, J. Tolley, K. Puffenberger, M. Dean, G. Sacks, Team Captain R. Joy, B. Bourdelaise. Breaking even was Coach Gerry George’s hope for his Gymnastics team record this season. The sudden drop, as opposed to last year’s outstanding record, could not be attributed to a lack of talent; this year’s team had more potential than last year’s team according to George. However, a tougher schedule and vastly-improved competition caused the team’s losses this year. Coach George has a long range plan for turning the team over to a graduate coach. George’s duties as professor, researcher, and writer prevent him from devoting adequate time to his coaching. George commented that he would also like to see the athletic budget spread out more evenly around all the teams, especially the minor sports, such as gymnastics. If every team sport could receive a bit more money, they could produce a profit, and in addition, the University would have a more diversified and balanced athletic program. B-Ball queens Coach Mary Jackson’s girls-bas-ketball team started the season off well, and by the end of the first semester, it looked like Coach Jackson had one of the best teams ever. Although smaller than most of the competition, the team demonstrated exceptional agility and a good fast break. The team acquired two good freshmen and some transfer students and these united with team veterans in presenting a unified squad, with the accent on teamwork. The Girls Basketball Team: (kneeling) J. Svadeba, d. Hunt, A. Biese, T. Gooding, B. Glaser; (standing) Coach M. Jack-son, C. Zovtini, M. Lublch, M. McHugh. J. Lawrence, D. Holloman, S. Walthall, A. Adams. ODU Music organizations were kept busy in December and January. On December 2, the ODU Concert Band under the direction of Leo Imperial gave their winter concert. On December 10, John Davye led the University Chorus and Concert Choir in their winter concert at Technology Theater. The Madrigal Singers, directed by Eliot Breneiser, performed in costume for the Alliance Francaise. The ODU Jazz Ensemble, led by Leo Imperial, and the Singing Mon-archs, led by Harold Hawn, gave a concert on December 16 in the Student Center. On January 7, the Concert Choir and the Madrigal Singers gave a community concert at the Chrysler Museum. Edgar Winter’s White Trash. Plus Mylon. And special guest star Don McLean. All brought to you by WOWI-FM and the Mace Crown. A miracle happened in the ODU Fieldhouse on January 8: ODU had a successful rock concert. Twardzik broke the ODU individual career scoring record in the game against Madison on January 14. A full house at the ODU gymnasium saw Twardzik score 25 points, breaking Harry Lozon’s old record of 1,424 points. The Monarchs routed the Madison team, 99-68, putting ODU over the .500 mark for the first time this season. Exams--A pain in the course of an individual’s academic pilgrimage. A week that isn’t. Piles of books. Frayed nerves. Unfinished papers. Pens that run out of ink. Blue Books. Blood. Sweat. And when the grades come in, tears. And what does it all really prove? Winter graduation has never received much attention. No formal ceremony. No assemblies. No pomp. No circumstance. Ah, but the winds of change have swept in a new feature! Here we have some winter graduates in their formal graduation ceremonies held at the Administration Annex. Officiating in the affair was Assistant Registrar Charles Beers, substituting for Registrar Marceline Staples, who was out to lunch. r End. Completion. Semester One, 71-72 bites the dust. But the Break will be brief, and we’ll be back. And so will Troubadour, Book Two, with the events of Semester Two. Plus Organizations and Senior pictures. And so, Adieu. Finis. Abel, Ray C.
