From it s early beginnings as a division of William Mary, to it’s complete break as a college in 1930, to a university status in the late 60’s ODU has undergone a great deal of change. During the time we were known as Old Dominion College, we had a football team that played other small area colleges. The addition of a collegiate football team was again an issue on ODU’s campus. Another change for ODU was the new state alcohol law which was passed. The new law prompted the campus policy to change, which restricted most ODU students from drinking legally. The campus used the new policy to create an “alternate substances” campaign to curb campus drinking. Other changes that occurred were the re-organization of Greek affairs and the continued switch-over from the old logo to the new one. Physical changes also happened as Chandler and Hughes Hall underwent renovations, while plans for the entire campus were discussed. The widening of Hampton Boulevard from four lanes to six was another hot issue o Change was and is part of ODU; without it we'be , the fast-growing university we are today, by AN aerial view of ODU's campus, circa 1964.

Much of our time is spent outside the classroom. Living, studying, working, sleeping and playing are all part of a student’s life and have to be worked into a hectic class schedule. ODU is no exception. With a campus set in a city the size of Norfolk and seven other large cities close by we have as many different lifestlyes to choose from as there are types of students. Some students attend cultural events at Wells Theatre or Chrysler Hall, others participate in on-campus organizations and some hit the party scene.Virginia Beach is a popular place for students to check out parties, catch some rays or cruise the strip. Whatever the events, ODU students spend their time in interesting ways. FRICIA Faro. Chris Swanhart. Russ Kositis and Hilda Shouhash show close friends make student life — LIFE! Photo by B.

Fisher The Harbor Gem of Norfolk Waterside Mall opened its plate-glass doors for business in June, 1983. Since then it has attracted locals and tourists alike to specialty shops and restaurants with waterfront views. Modelled after other inner-city harbor renovations; our own Waterside has outdoor dining and lounges, unique shopping, an aquarium display from ODU's oceanography department and fudge made while-u-wait! The facade facing the city features trompe I’oeil artwork by Richard Haas of New York. The success of the Waterside Mall has encouraged construction of hotels and other businesses in the waterfront area. Harborfest, one of Norfolk's most popular annual events, is held near waterside in Towne Point Park and Freemason Harbor. This year over 385 thousand people attended between June 5th, 6th and 7th to enjoy the festival. Fireworks and flyovers, boats and beer, music and madness all made Harborfest weekend unforgettable. by J. Fisher STUDENT LIFE 7 PARENTS’ WEEKEND ‘£ O lean your rooms. Parents' weekend begins Oc- tober 9th. For many students it was the first time since August they had seen their parents or cleaned their rooms. Orphan parties sprang up for those to celebrate the fact that their parents couldn't come to visit. Casino Night was ODU's answer to Atlantic City, in which parents and students gambled the night away in the Mid-Rise cafeteria. The following day families took a three hour relaxing cruise on the New Spirit ship from Norfolk's Waterside Festival Marketplace. Once aboard, families were entertained by the ODU Pep Band while viewing the scenic shoreline. by K. Hines S. Windisch BETH Cooley. Denise Bolos. Tekako Akagagi. sing and clap to the Pep Band music.

ODU students have found new ways such as, skateboarding, bicycling, and possibly catching a backseat or handle bar ride on a bike. The disabled students also have the benefit of getting picked up by the E-Z Go Carts supplied by the University, which is their way of getting around. 12 STUDENT LIFE DON MacDonnell gets around by getting a lift from Camilo Ramirez. SKATEBOARDS, bicycles and feet are the way to get around. WENDY Farnham goes to p ck up disabled students to get around. LOCKING his bike before class. Chris Parker ensures his way to get around will still be there. Just peddling around Have you been walking down the sidewalk not paying attention to anything around you when suddenly you do a double-take of a guy on a single wheel? It's one thing to avoid all the bikes on this campus, but unicycles? ODU has two unicycle riders: Dan Harvey and Jeff Rodgers. Harvey, who has lived in Virginia Beach most of his life, has been riding two and a half years. Mastering the sport in just a couple of hours, he has been riding ever since. He thinks his unicycle is a great means of transportation and is very practical. “Nobody will probably believe this, but it's a lot safer than a bike. If you know your going to wreck on a bike, there's a good chance you're going down. On a unicycle, you can jump off without killing yourself on any handle bars. he said. Rodgers is using his talent for something other than practical purposes. He has done fundraisers since he started at the age of eleven. Some include toxic waste, cancer, and his favorite cause, the S.RC.A. “Unicycling is much more than tricks and fun, and even more than a practical way of getting around. by Chris Allan STUDENT LIFE 13 The Oyster Bowl WILLIAM and Mary make a break for a touchdown.

A Ithough ODU doesn't have a football team, ''one of the hottest social events is the annual Oyster Bowl, sponsored by the Shriners Club. Each year the game is put on to raise money for charity. This Year the big game kicked-off at Foreman Field with VMI pitted against William and Mary. Halftime was one highlight of the bowl when Sigma Nu stormed the field with their Greek banner held high.

It still means that each fall on the ODU campus; Mainstreet is an annual event for every organization to show their stuff, and everyone gets to see what they have to offer. This year at Mainstreet students and faculty browsed among more than 90 tables in sweltering heat to get free goodies, sign up for clubs and generally see what a variety of activities ODU has to offer. Some freebies included cake provided by the Student Senate, cups from the University Auxiliary Services, welcome packs from E.S.C.A.P.E. and information from various organizations. Other items were sold by groups. The Ski Club sold “powder hound tee-shirts, while the Laureate marketed the new edition for the first time. Of the student organizations present many brought their whole organization to Mainstreet; among these WODU went on the air live from Webb Mall, between other live preformances. Other groups who staged activities were the Karate Club, the ODU Dance Team and the cheerleaders. Despite the rain delay and the scorching temperatures of the day. Mainstreet still drew a crowd. BALLOONS, singing and clapping marked the crowd of mainstreet. Photo by B. Domanski ODU cheerleaders kept the spirit of the crowd at attention. Photo by C.

Flock to Class; the rest nest on campus! What is a commuter? The commuter, a rare species of bird known as the off- campus student, is known to inhabit the campus area of Hampton Boulevard and 49th Street between the hours of midnight and midnight exclusively. Actually, there are a number of species of commuter birds available for indiscriminate viewing. The first of these strange birds to come to mind is the Droopy-Feathered Early Morning Riser. This unique fellow stumbles from the nest at around 5:00 am and fumbles around in search of hot liquids loaded with caffeine for the long — or perhaps not so long — journey to the campus. Upon arrival at the halls of academe, the Early Morning Riser joins his cousins, the Late Night Partiers, in a usually futile attempt to stock their gray cells with enough go juice to survive those fearsome 8:00 am classes. A second species of commuter bird is the Wired-Up Wishful Thinker. who flaps onto campus with only 15 minutes before class, and lives in constant hope that a parking place will miraculously appear just three steps from Webb Center. He. too. has a weird cousin known as the Impossible Dream Bird, who also lives in hope and fervent belief that all the dormitory resident birds will someday decide to consume their noonday meals in their “nests” rather than the Webb cafeteria, thus leaving him the possibility of gaining nutrition and getting to a 1:00 class on time. The final species of commuter is the Rapidly-Aging. Bespectacled Owlish bird. This one does not appear in his campus habitat until after sunset. Struggling to feed the ever-growing national debt, this bird is only able to take pause for learning in the late-night hours. He lives in hope that he will, one day. find that his daytime cousins have left him just a little java and some change in the change machines. In reality, the commuting student does not fit any real pattern. There are all ages and backgrounds: there are traditional and non-traditional fields of study and all points of the compass are included in the commuter student. There are returning adults, working toward the degree they didn’t complete in their youth. There are military men and women, who are studying for degrees as well as professional advancement, and there are the traditional students, who may be living at home or off-campus to save money. They are. indeed, not such rare breed — and a welcome part of the ODU family! by Cheryl McAllister CRUISING lor parking spots is the number one activity tor many commuters.

BLACK HISTORY MONTH Entertainment at its best was found at the Black History Month Talent Show on February 12. 1988. Its purpose was to celebrate the cultural history of the black race during Black History month. Darrel Johnston. President of Fellowship of Minority Engineers and Scientists, was the MC for the show, sponsored by Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity. There were about 13 acts including singers, dancers and a comedian juggler. The participants were from the university and the community. First place went to the Reebok Kids” — three young talented dancers. Second place went to the “Ebony Impact — Male Quartet, and a woman from the Ebony Impact” took home third place. The judges were Mindy Sopher. Coordinator for Greek Affairs, Joseph Wiggins. Chapter Advisor for Kappa Alpha Psi. and Sharon La Forgia, Member of Greek Issues Committee.

The Alumni Association is one of the university's most valuable assets.The Association works to promote the interests of the university and to establish and sustain a mutually beneficial relationship between the university and its alumni. The Alumni Relations Office helps parents, students and alumni stay informed. It keeps everyone interested and involved through programs, services and publications. Serving as a link between former, current and future students, the Association sponsors many programs such as exam week Survival Kits, Outstanding Scholar awards, Student Athlete awards to graduating seniors, the alumni career advising network, scholarships for entering freshmen, and class reunions. Once the football program is in place, the Association plans to play a major role in Homecoming, an event which will involve the entire university community. Thirty-five members make up the governing board. It was founded in 1933 and is still made up of dedicated alumni who are directly involved in Old Dominion. One must be nominated to run for office and elected by the Board of Directors. The Board has legislative interests, one of which includes lobbying government officials in Richmond for state money to be allotted to our school. In an interview with the Alumni Director. Gordon McDougall, it was evident that a group as active as the Alumni Association has influence in the University. They are aware that in protecting and improving the University, both present students and alumni benefit. As students grow and change it is exciting to see the University do the same. Energy and enthusiasm generated by the Alumni is motivating; the Alumni contribute time, money and talent because they know it is a worthy investment as ODU flourishes. by Heidi Shiner All photos courtesy ot Bob Fire k 24 STUDENT LIFE 4 1' ’c «• ' r ■ A I r ■ f REUNIONS are one of the functions of the Alumni Association that most people know about.

Photo by Caroline Oelacruz MILITARY presence is everywhere-even at Norfolk's Waterside marketplace. Photo by Julene Fisher VIEW from Hampton Roads Bridge looking past a coal collier towards the USS Roosevelt and Norfolk Naval Base on the horizon. Photo by John Ling The 1980 s have been the age of Iron Eagle. Rambo, Top Gun. Platoon and Bomb Iran! Everywhere we turn we see militaristic images. From the protests of the 60 s we have gone to celebrating the militant. Are you a hawk? Or a dove? No matter what your attitude is about the military, their presence undeniably gives this area a unique flavor. Unlike some towns with a few recruiters, uniforms of all branches are a common sight on the streets here. Some of us may not even realize how much the military colors our community until we stop and try to imagine them gone. Direct economic influences are recognized; of course with no military here, there would be less people buying houses, groceries and haircuts! But, we are also effected by attitudes they bring from around the world. “Foreign brides are not the only exotic import. Many military members have travelled to far away places. They bring awareness of cultural differences in food, dress and customs. Perhaps some of our best restaurants owe a tip of the hat to the broadening of Virginia s tastes by European. Oriental and Mediterranean influences. Let s not forget foreign influences from a little closer to home. In spite of the world travelled image we may have of Uncle Sam's soldiers, some of them never leave the good ol' U.S.A. But. you can bet those that come all the way from California or Maine to Hampton Roads, make an impact on us. Even the mainland military members help make this a more cosmopolitan area with an exciting variety of accents and lifestyles. It's a fact that buisnesses flock to where the markets are. As one of the largest ports on the east coast, we already enjoy civilian enterprise. The strategic importance of the Chesapeake Bay insures there will always be a focused military attention here. Support buisnesses such as shipbuilding and drydock facilities, petroleum imports and scientific research and deveplopment all will continue to add commerce to our thriving region, thanks to military encouragement. We are some what more aware of the historical aspects of our military neighbors. This region is especially rich in such patriotic sites as Yorktown Battlefield. Colonial Williamsburg and Fort Monroe. Only a few years ago Ft. Monroe was scheduled to be closed, but its historical importance was unique. It started as one wooden pier to help the early colonies receive supplies; it ended up the largest stone fortress built in the U.S.A. Now it still stands as a historical tour site, and also part of an active military facility. So you see — the military part of our community contributes more than just big boats to our horizons; they actually contribute to our future. by Julene Fisher 4 4- STUDENT tlFE 27 B.S.U. Rocks With THE BLOCK BASH ENJOYING dance music is Father Francis. Karen Carpenter and friends. Are you wondering what a Big Blue Block Bash is? This is an annual dance for all of the campus religious organizations held at the Baptist Student Union. This year it was once again a night filled with fun and excitement! Denominations do not separate on the dance floor, but socialize together. so everyone felt at ease in the potpouri of religious affiliation. There was plenty of food and conversation. It was interesting to see a Baptist talking to a Catholic and a Presbyterian dancing with Methodist. That is the way it should be. All religious organizations were represented. and all agreed the evening was a success, and look forward to future interdenominational activities. by C.

RUSH For many students the adjustments of living away from home, coupled with an intense academic atmosphere can be overwhelming. Activities such as Rush sponsored by the Greek Sororities and Fraternities can help in easing the pains of home sickness and anxieties of college life by providing opportunities to meet new people. According to Ann Murphy of Tau Beta Pi Sorority, my sorority sisters helped to make ODU life more of a home away from home-so classes, study time, and even meeting hundreds of strangers at parties didn't seem so scary after all. The Greeks serve many purposes to the students who join and can be the best friends one may ever have. They help in making school less boring and also help you to solve school related problems, roommate problems and even love affairs. Good times are sure to be had by all who join a Greek Group and they can expect to mature and share a bond of friendship. by C. Spanoulis DARE to be in our Frat. says Harry Teromya.

It is a time to reflect on the victories past, and to remember people like Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman, and the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who never gave up the dream of freedom. February is the time we gather together and reflect on their dreams, and how they are being carried on through present day crusaders like the Reverend Jesse Jackson Shirley Chisholm, Andrew Young, and the thousands of young blacks in college today. Here at Old Dominion University, the black students sponsor events throughout the month. In conjunction with the University’s acknowledgement of Dr. Martin Luther King’s birthday, Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., the brotherhood to which King is a member, sponsors an old-fashioned freedom march from Webb Center to the ceremony at the Mills Godwin Building. Many plans are made for this 28 day tribute to black culture because it is not only a celebration for blacks, it is a celebration and an education for all. “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.” The celebrating of Black History Month is a testament to that | fact, and by this decree, everyone is invited to join in the celebration. Here at Old Dominion University, we too as black students, have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American j dream. The celebration of Black History month is a celebration of freedom, and we want the echo of freedom to resound in all communities. We at Old Dominion University truly believe, that through the celebration and understanding of Black History Month, we shall all overcome someday. by Alton Jacinto Harris (Jay) I THE Precious Gems , sponsored by Opal Bazemore Dance Company dazzle the audience at the 10th Annual Brotherhood Dinner. 36 STUDENT LIFE The Black History Month was celebrated by the 10th Annual Brotherhood Dinner on November 15th at Webb and was carried out by the theme United in the struggle for Excellence.

It makes me mad for them to think it’s fun every day of your life. Elaine Gardner 44 Jan Thomas remembers when she was a student at ODU and Chanler Hall had no elevators. She had to struggle against traffic to get to class, and that 10 minute interval between classes was all too short. She is very much excited about Handicapped Awareness Day. You see. Jan Thomas was born with no hip sockets and has degenerative arthritis, and many people are not aware of the problems Jan and people like her have to deal with every day of their lives. National Handicapped Awareness Week was an opportunity for people to learn more about those problems. The Student Senate sponsored a Handicapped Awareness Day on October 16. and students, faculty, and administrators were welcome to participate by role-playing a disability during their normal activities that day. “Its very difficult for non-disabled people to comprehend the difficulties we face in day to day life, Jan told me. “Doors are heavy; they were built with the able-bodied in mind. Role-playing can help people understand such things.” But Jan also cautioned. You can't get a concept in one day. It's just not the same. She quickly added, though, that You will get enough of an idea to make you think, to make you experience what it is like to not be able to see the numbers on the phone or to not have an elevator.” Jan feels that Handicapped Awareness Day will also help to inform people about the need for proper facilities for the handicapped. But most of all. it will make people more sensitive to the little things disabled people face. If they see someone struggling. they might be more likely to lend a hand. And that's what counts, human beings including other human beings in their lives, regardless of the condition of their bodies. by Doug Morrison 38 STUDENT LIFE STUDENTS learn from each other on Handi-capp Awareness Day.

Regardless of what age, sex or major a student may be. all share the problem of finding time to rest. Demanding academic schedules consume much of the students' time, and homework only adds to the problem. English majors and Engineering majors alike can confess to catching a few winks in the library when they're supposed to be studying. Many students also complain of time constraints. Traffic back-ups and tunnel congestion often restrict them to ODU's campus, forcing them to catch a few Z's in Webb Center instead. If Webb is too crowded, classroom desks (much to the dismay of many professors) are popular locations as well! Aside from simply relieving the exhaustion of studying, sleeping does of course allow for another great hobby, dreaming — of graduation perhaps? by K.A.

Delacruz STUDENT LIFE 41 GRAY’S PHARMACY Gray's Pharmacy, well-known by the ODU student body is located on Hampton Boulevard across from the Webb Lawn. It is a small store by today's standards, yet it has something the larger places don't; it has an atmosphere the modern drug store doesn't. It has a nostalgic charm. The narrow aisles, the shelves bursting with greeting cards, candy, school supplies, cosmetics, books, magazines and of course medicines are all part of it's charm. All these things make Gray's a cozy spot to dine. It is a warm and inviting place. Before Webb was built Gray's was a favorite meeting place for students because it. complete with a lunch counter, was a convenient place in which to meet. Helen, who has worked at Gray's for sixteen years has seen many students fall in love, get married, move away and move back again with their children. She feels that today's students don't differ from students of twenty years ago and she enjoys watching students grow-up. Gray's provides special services like daily deliveries of prescriptions and check cashing for students. The lunch counter, which is a 1950's vintage, has been part of the store since it opened. Many students and faculty eat lunch.as well as other meals there. The only things that have really changed over the years are the prices. The lunch counter is owned separately and leased out by Gray's. Gray's has changed owners since it was first established. Helen says that people frequenting Gray's are considered clientele rather than customers, and she enjoys catering to the university body.

What do you think of when someone says exam week? Some think of the final reward of a month vacation, others think of graduating (those who are lucky enough to see the last exam week of their college career) and yet others think of the endless supply of caffeine, candy bars and pizzas they will need to make it through the next six days. The thing most often thought of around exam time is PRESSURE! Many students try to learn a semester's worth of work in a two or three day period. With some exams being 40% of a final course grade, students try to make-up for a bad grade by “acing the final. Others just try to pass the exam in order to pass the course. But how does one find time and the right atmosphere to study for finals? Some students put studying off until the night before the exam, while others (probably few) begin to study early. In Mid-Rise, Rogers and Gresham mandatory 24-hour quiet hours begin's three days before exams and contiune until the end of exams. In the dorms if the quiet hour policy was broken, automatic resident hall probation was the result. This was used to control the noise and create an atomosphere conducive to studying. Many students received survival kits from home which contained a free-pizza coupon for Domino's, candy, Slim Jims, and most importantly—aspirin. The dorms also provided free donuts and coffee each night from 8 to 10 p.m. by B.

Surf, Sand, Sun Where are you most likely to find students on a hot. sunny day when there are no classes or they just think there are no classes? Answer: the beach! Virginia Beach is one of the hottest spots during the first few weeks of fall semester and the end of spring semester. Some enjoy just soaking-up the sun. while others like to try their hand at the surf. ODU's sun worshippers are often found at the college hot spot. 86th street. Volleyball, softball and frisbee are favorite sports played on the beach. Boogie boards have been spotted in the hands of many beachgoers and even bobbing about the surf without owners. There are even some who attempt to study while tanning, but usually end up with sand in EVERYTHING or falling asleep. Most of the time students kill two birds with one stone by working on their tan and sleep at the same time. Those are the students who look like the lobsters served at Phillip's Restaurant. Anyway you look at it surf, sand and sun are favorite courses of ODU students. by B.

We cars really get a bum wrap, having to start-up at 7 A.M., drive 20 minutes through tunnel traffic just to get parked in mud because there are no spaces left. On top of that, we get less to drink because of stupid decal prices. I bet my insurance costs less than a semester parking sticker! And those % $ tickets, every time I turn around I have another ticket stuck on my forehead. If the ODU police don't get you the Norfolk ones will. And the traffic trying to get out of here at 3 P.M., well I almost hit this cute little RX7 because some Volkswagen dodged in front of me. ODU's parking lots are nothing to sing about either. The other day I hit a pothole the size of Hampton Coliseum. Where does the money for tickets and decals go? I'm sure some could find its way to the repair budget. You know it’s terrible, the things we go through being cars; the worst is being parked from 7 A.M. to 6 P.M. with no one to talk to.

Copeland i onstruction is the word around campus these days. The V. Webb Center addition and renovation project headed by Jack Zwicker. the Assistant Director of Architectural Services, says that construction should begin January of 1989 and will take 20-24 months to complete. ’ The project will consist of a 2-story addition to the front part of Webb and a campus meeting center along with various modifications to the Copy Center, the Credit Union, and the second floor. The architects envision a mini-mall concept that would house numerous retail shops and a new cafe to replace the Rathskeller. This mall will link the old Webb Center to the new 2-story additions on both sides. The second floor will hold various student services and organizations including a Computer Center, Academic Advising, the Health Center, the Woman s Center, the Orientation Office, the Center for Major Exploration and many others. The new construction will cover 88.664 square feet and the renovation space will be over 23,400 square feet. It is estimated that the Webb Center addition and expansion will cost 7.7 million dollars to finish. by C.

Well. they, the ODU architects and Physical Plant Engineers are breaking ground for Phase 1 of the New Fine Arts Building. All that disturbing and monotonous noise during spring semester resulted in the foundation pilings being laid. It is predicted that the construction will start the first of August and take one and a half years to complete. Phase 1 will cost an estimated 5.5-6 million dollars. According to the Project Manager. Dick Pancoast, the Fine Arts Building will be a two-story brick limestone exterior finish. On the first floor, there will be three dance studios, an art library. a media room, a band orchestra rehearsal room and other classrooms, practice rooms and office space. But the biggest feature will be the Recital Hall. The second floor will contain an electric piano lab. and electronic music room, various studios for voice and instruments, and many other essential spaces for learning. It's exciting to see a project like this actually becoming a reality for the Fine Arts department. The kind of talent found in ODU students needs to be encouraged and developed and the Fine Arts Building Phase 1 is a major step in accomplishing just that. Over the next ten to fifteen years as the funding is approved, there will be two other phases of the building. So everybody look forward to more disturbing noise due to further construction for the good of our future fine artists. by C. Joynes WHAT parking lot.

Six nights and seven days at hotel accommodations, close to the beach or the slopes at a low, low rate ranging from S300 to $500, included all nite pool parties, games, or free lift tickets and beginning ski lessons. Other exciting options were included for an additional price, depending which package deal you chose.

Aside from textbooks and long lectures, students have an opportunity to learn outside the classroom too.

A STUDENT feels privileged as she gets an autograph from award winning novelist Louise Edrich. Featured Speaker from ODU ALF MAPP A If J. Mapp has been at Old Dominion since 1961. He has achieved the rank of eminent Professor. This achievement is just one many laudable achievements. Professor Mapp teaches Engish, Journalism, and creative writing. He has also taught history and western civilization. When asked why he likes to teach he said I enjoy working with students and possibly acquainting them with new authors and helping them succeed. This past year Professor Mapp was a featured lecturer at the Old Dominion Literary Festival. The topic was his latest and quite possibly his best work so far: Thomas Jefferson: A Strange Case of Mistaken Identity. He first became interested with Thomas Jefferson while he was a freshman at William and Mary. The very fact that he was studying in the exact same place that Jefferson had studied thoroughly piqued his interest in the late president. After spending thirty years doing minor research and numerous other things such as writing textbooks, over 800 articles for the New York Times and other publications as well as five other books, he devoted four years of intense research on Jefferson. The astounding popularity of Thomas Jefferson has resulted in its being named the Best Book of 1987 and it was a featured selection for the Book of the Month Club twice. It has also been published in England. France. Belgium, and New Zealand. There are plans for publication in other countries as well. Professor Mapp has won numerous awards such as the Hampton Roads Great Citizen Award 1987. Portsmouth Virginia Noteable Citizen Award 1987 and the Commonwealth of Virginia Cultural Laureate in 1981. He has held offices in many historical societies as well as having been Virginia Symphony Director in 1986-87 and he is now a trustee for that institution. by Margo Barvy CAMPUS celebrity, professor All Mapp. autographs one of his best novels.

ACADEMICS 57 ANSWERING a question for Nancy Libert or any other student is most enjoyable for Chief Departmental Advisor Dan Wilson of the English Dept. Good Bye Good Luck Dan Wilson He is a warm person; his eyes always seem to be smiling. His perpetual tan glows with energy, set off by his white hair. And for a man about to retire, he is uncommonly hip. When I asked him for a quick interview, he was hesitant. As he put it. no one wants to read about an old fogey who's retiring. Dan Wilson however, is worth reading about. As those who have had him as a professor or counselor know, this native Virginian (from Suffolk) is one of those gems-of-a-teacher who is truly involved with the students. For him. there is always time to talk to a student. With his smooth Southern accent and calm lecturing style, he is able to relate academics to the realities of life. His love of a subject comes through along with his expertise, and he is entertaining. His wry wit sometimes sneaks up on a class — but not often does it sneak by. This is Wilson's last semester as Chief Departmental Advisor (and a professor) of the English department. He began teaching at ODU in 1949. after graduating from its parent school. William and Mary. Wilson longed to teach Chaucer though. In two years he received a fellowship to get his Ph D at the University of Pennsylvania, but when he returned to William and Mary he found they already had a Chaucer expert. So he came back to ODU in 1955. This campus was only an extension of William and Mary at the time. Since then he has seen a lot of changes. When asked how the school has changed he points to the wider variety of subjects offered and of entirely new departments, such as the Oceanography Department; and of course that the campus itself has expanded. As to the changes he sees in students. Wilson says, they're so much more worldly now that's for sure ... and most of them are smarter, better prepared. The thing he has enjoyed the most about teaching at ODU is the kids —absolutely... I hate to see them go. I've been to all the graduations. He adds that teaching has the advantages of being a parent without the disadvantages. Wilson says he will miss the college atmosphere, especially the students; they tend to keep you young. he says with a smile. But he is looking forward to opening his own antiques store and hopes to make profitable his long-time hobby. I asked him finally if there was any thing he would like to add. In his typical friendly drawl he answered, no. except maybe tell everyone to buy the antiques! by J.

Judith Andre PARTICIPATING at all levels. Dr. Andre helps Timothy Winchester with a videotape. Dr. Judith Andre. Associate Professor of philosophy at Old Dominion University is energetically involved in the goings on of the university. “I think it is important to tap the resources a campus offers; attend lectures, meet people who have done important things with their lives. Being a part of organizations will benefit both the institution and oneself. Involvement of professors and students bridges the gap and creates a common ground, discussing a mutual experience such as poetry reading would be a unifying experience for students and faculty, comments Dr. Andre. Originally form Spokane, Washington. Andre attended Viterbo University in Wisconsin for her bachelor then taught junior high school before receiving a Ph.D from Michigan State. A philosophy professor at Old Dominion for the past eight years. Dr. Andre teaches Intro to Philosophy, Buisness Ethics. Professional Ethics (an honor program) and upper division ethics courses. She is most interested in the field of ethics, which is, emerging as a new interdisciplinary field, especially in the United States. England, and Canada. says Dr. Andre. Ethics brings philosophers and practical professions in fields such as engineering, law and medicine together to help one another understand the issues. Andre has been involved with the Institute for Applied Ethics since she came to ODU and has been a director the past three years. “The group is becoming more well known, vocal, and broad based, catering to students, faculty, and the community. added Dr. Andre. Andre helped begin the Norfolk Chapter of Amnesty International which is a university and community wide organization. As president of the ODU chapter of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP), Andre has made it a goal to revitalize the organization which gives university faculty a voice nationally. One way in which the AAUP informs and protects professors is through their newsletter which each faculty member receives. Andre was the only Old Dominion University professor chosen to spend a one year fellowship at Harvard University to study programs in ethics and the professions. She is excited about working with professors from around the country and learning ways to help ODU's department flourish. A future ambition of this charismatic professor is to travel and see the world. For the present.

The Sea Ox. mm Photos courtesy of the Oceanography Department Old Dominion's Oceanography Department is one of the largest in the country. It's divided into four major fields; physical oceanography, chemical oceanography, biological oceanography, and geological oceanography. Oceanography offers a unique experence to students by giving practical uses of the subject matter covered. Oceanography is a popular course which approximately four hundred students take per year to fulfill their general education science requirements. Students in the freshman level spend two of their twelve labs on location each semester. One is on the research vessel. The Linwood Holton, where students use an echosounder. plankton nets, and devices to take water and sedement samples and measure salinity. The other lab is on the beach. Students measure the beach profile, study waves and sand and wind. These activities utilize many skills learned in weekly lab classes. Oceanography is primarily a graduate program. In the upper level courses there are about twenty undergraduate students and sixty graduate (masters and phd) students. The curriculum is designed to prepare graduates for professional practice in the varied aspects of oceanography. Among the many course requirements, graduate students must spend at least ten days of study aboard a ship. The Oceanography Department runs the Barrier Island Field Station which is located in Oyster. VA. Here graduate students and faculty participate in extensive studies. The rapid deliberate growth of the department over last twenty years reflects the commitment of the goverment and the people of Virginia to the program of marine studies. Success is partly due to the university's superb location. Norfolk is in the hub of the world s largest harbor and is regarded as a national leader in buisness and industry. Expansion of building space and faculty size is still increasing. There is one main oceanography building where classrooms, labs, and some offices are located. Another smaller building houses more offices, and a warehouse is being renovated for storage. The department has one visiting, seventeen full time, and two research faculty members.

A lawyer for more than thirty years and a member of the U.S. Congress for six. Bella Abzug was the first woman in history to run for the U.S. Senate from New York and for Mayor of New York City. A long time worker for women's rights, she co-sponsored the original Equal Rights Amendment while a member of the House. Some of her other accomplishments include co-chairing the National Advisory Committee for Women during Carter's administration; founding the National Women's Political Caucus; writing the first law banning discrimination against women in obtaining credit, loans, and mortgages. Over the years, she has been voted one of the most popular and influential women in the United States. Ms. Abzug is currently in private law practice and lectures frequently. Never far from the political arena, she remains a forceful, courageous and outspoken fighter for local, national and world causes. 62 ACADEMICS ENJOYING the Women's Studies 10th Anniversary celebration is Bella Abzug, as she delivers her speech. Photo By W. Domanski Women's studies have been argued, debated and approached from all different angles. The validity of studies on women's topics has often been questioned. Controversy surrounds just how to go about collecting data for these programs. At least people are talking about it. Until the 1960's few scholars paid attention to women and their roles in literature, history, and sciences. They had been swept under the rug of civilization. Today, more and more often, topics of women's interests are finding their way into mainstream thoughts. The idea of studying women's contributions to society is finally catching on. This year at ODU the Women's Studies Program celebrates its tenth year. Some colleges have had programs twice that long. But some still have none. In Eastern Virginia, there are no others, says Dr. Ellen Lewin, director of ODU's program. One of the highlights of the anniversary celebration was an appearance by Bella Abzug on October 22. She spoke to a full MGB auditorium about the political climate for women today. Also in the fall a picnic was held for students, and topping off the celebration events was an exhibit featuring the work of two local artists. Fay Zetlin and Katherine . • Huntoon. Dr. Lewin is quick to give credit to Dr. Carolyn Rhodes, founder of C-V Women's Studies, and Nancy Bazin, the first Women's Studies director. Ten years ago at the Norfolk college, a women's caucus ■ met to talk about pay and promotions for women. From that gath- yU ering, a movement developed which led to a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. Dr. Rhodes was instrumental in obtaining that grant for ODU. Today, women's studies are integrated into the university community with a full time director and a secretary. The entire curriculum has been updated to include women's contributions. But their budget doesn't cover all the expenses. The small program often needs help from other departments and from outside the university. This spring, Women's Studies sponsored a conference entitled Technology and Reproduction: Ethical, Cultural, and Social Issues. with the help of a grant from the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities and Public Policy. Another big supporter of the program is The Friends of Women's Studies. It is made up of concerned citizens in the community. It began almost two years ago and now has 300 members. According to Lewin, only two other colleges in the country have such a program. Their donations make possible projects such as the new endowment for an annual speakers symposium, and such well-known speakers like Bella Abzug. One reason why women's studies haven't faded as a faddish study, Lewin says, has been the quality of the research. Women felt an obligation to produce something worthwhile because they were pioneers in the field. She is something of a pioneer in her own right. As a graduate student at Stanford University in Anthropology, she decided to focus her research on women. Several of the faculty thought her topic, Latin American women immigrants, was not real anthropology. And there was little material compiled for her to study. But she remained firm, and became one of the first Ph.D.'s in the country in women's anthropology. At ODU. the program has practical uses. It helps ease transition for older women returning to school: Lewin says, they have some basis for expertise ... that's an important step . One Women's Studies student started a battered women's shelter, for others it may help develop knowledge that they don't have to put up with sexual harrassment on the job. Women's Studies was created in the context of a political movement, a need to understand women's status. We'd like to improve it and change it, Lewin says. The point of it all is to achieve an understanding that will make a difference, make the world fairer to men and women. by J.

O.D.U. goes INTERNATIONAL Old Dominion University was the sponsor of a fabulous, nationally televised program entitled ‘‘U.S.A. — U.S.S.R. Youth Summit Teleconference Series. The series was aired in three segments: February 12th and 26th, and March 11. 1988. During the first two segments of the series Gigi Young (you may recognize her name from FM 99's morning show) was the moderator and the features were prerecorded. The last segment of the series, and the most exciting, was the Spacebridge — a live telecast between the U.S. and U.S.S.R. The first segment featured teenagers discussing Soviet education and rock n' roll. Neither education or rock are quite like what you’ll find here in the States. Education in the Soviet Union is more like the military, with all of the students having to wear uniforms. There is a wide variety of classes offered to the students, but most of the kids are geared toward a specific profession early on in their education. Part of the discussion on education focused on a guest commentary by Frank Thoms, an American teacher currently teaching English in Russia. The rock music feature informed all of us in the U.S. that there are two types of rock music in the U.S.S.R. You’ve got the State approved rock and the underground rock. Needless to say. the underground rock is the choice of the students, and it sounds most like the rock music in the U.S. The rise of Soviet rock entertainment was discussed by Joanna Stingray, an American Society rock music critic, and Troizki Artiem. a Soviet rock critic. The second part of the University's series featured Soviet teenagers discussing their family structure, foods, and fashion. The most memorable aspect of the family discussion was the living arrangements that most Soviet families have. Basically, there are no arrangements because there is typically nothing but one room to house the family.

I find that m replies to large socio-political questions are always hedged with references to scholars whose lives have been devoted to China watching. But I can affirm the pleasures of getting to know some Chinese people in our daily worlds, in classrooms, ant courtyards, and in the homes of colleagues. And I am still bemused by the memories of places and their histories. The settings on our campus at Peking University could be described as breath-takingly lovely as scroll paintings. Archet bridges, pavillions and bell towers, bamboo groves, peony gardens and lace-barked pines, all decorated certain carefull groomed spaces about the campus. Intermixed with these evocative settings, so reminiscent of traditional arts, were pitfalls am eyesores, it is true. Yet what lingers in the memory are the charms of traditional scenes, and constant efforts to improve th« messy spots. Like China at large, our university campus struggled to keep ancient graces while modernizing, to hear the antique music of a legendary past amidst chattering jackhammers and clicking xerox machines. I was one of more than 20 college and university teachers invited by The Peoples's Republic of China to work in China unde the Fulbright Lecturers Program for the 1986-87 academic year. Five of us taught at colleges or worked with other agencies in th capital city. Beijing. Although I was Peking University's only Fulbrighter in my year, there were dozens of teachers calle foreign experts who visited and lectured for a few days or a few weeks. Many stayed in our apartment complex, which was a cluster of five large buildings built by the university to accommodate foreign students and teachers. At the heart of the comple: were the kitchens and food services with assembly rooms and entertainment halls for festive or political occasions. Peking University provides housing not only for its 14,000 Chinese students, selected by a rigorous national examination, bu: also for most of its faculty, staff and maintenance crews. These and other workers of all ranks live in small apartments withii easy biking distance form the center of the campus where there are dormitories, classroom buildings, the main library, a movir theater, and the many scenic areas I mentioned: an orchard, lotus ponds, and a very tall pagoda. Beside the biggest pond, called No Name Lake, at a spot he chose for his ashes to be placed, is a memorial to Edgar Snow, the author of Red Star Over China (1938: rev. 1968. 1978). Dining Halls, laundries, a travel agency and other services are run by the university. The intimacy of institutions in the PRC often startled us. University presses, as we know them in the United States, turn out scholarly books. University presses on Chinese campuses not only publish such academic works but also print textbooks and countless supplies for university use. such as schedules, invoices, letterhead paper, notebooks, even postcards of campus scenes. 68 ACADEMICS We found it difficult to grasp the ramifications of such close-knit campus life in the aftermath of the Cultural Revolution. And most certainly we can make no claim to a full understanding of China's 5.000 year old culture or many of the customs now characteristic of a population in excess of a billion. We try always to remember that we talked to people who were English-speaking, and usually urban intellectuals; that is hardly a random sample in a population that is about 80% rural. In China over 60% of the population is under 30 years of age. and less than 5% have college education. Teaching American Literature to Chinese graduate students was very rewarding. The undergraduates in the English department were not so consistently striving and attentive, because they were tracked for guaranteed jobs. Many preferred conversation courses, with immediate practical uses, to literature courses. But my graduate students planned to make their careers in teaching English and American literature, or in translation. They responded well to their survey courses (19th and 20th century American literature) and even more enthusiastically to my class on American Women Writers. Two of my students from that class read papers (written during the course) at a Women's Studies conference in Henan in June 1987. My husband. Ernest Rhodes, retired from ODU's Department of English, joined the ranks of thousands of Foreign Experts teaching in China. He taught in the Department of International Politics. His classes in world drama and American biography were primarily for graduate students, and especially for those in the Cultural Exchange Program. Course content, however, was merely a framework to help students develop skills in written and oral composition at advanced levels to give them practice in speaking and writing in the American language. Chinese students, we discovered, seem to sort themselves out into familiar patterns. Some are eager to learn, some lazy, some pragmatic, some dedicated. I've been a student in large cities, large colleges and small ones and I've taught on three continents. Similarities in students impress me more than differences. Chinese students varied in personalities and goals, in as wide a range as those I have taught in Romania. Kentucky, and Virginia. Chinese students are delightful to know. A great many of them are warm, witty, and eager to explore the issues of our turbulent times. The most mistaken statement that I have read about contemporary China is that the people are ' programmed robots. Individualism flourished among students. Those we taught were, admittedly, a highly selected group — and they know it. Peking University admits only those students who finish in the top percentiles in China s annual nationwide examination. Although they were not typical members of their society, they did represent varied social backgrounds. Many become future leaders of the country. The eagerness that most of them showed to learn about the United States, its literature and life, made me increasingly hopeful about the future of Sino-American ties. Ernest and I both believe we've formed lasting friendships with some of our students and colleagues. They were generous with their time and delightfully eager to help us cope. Naturally we yearn to be optismistic about the prospects for contiued openness in China s policies for contacts with the West, especially the United States. Travelling was a fringe benefit we dreamed of. and our dreams came true. Close to home, we took trips arranged by Peking University for their foreign experts. We spent weekends at nearby places such as Tianjin and Chengde. a small city with many pavillions and temples — once an imperial retreat. Also we enjoyed frequent day trips to Beijing's major sites, excursions that were nicely planned to fit the seasons or national occasions; thus we got the effect of each spot at its best time. Some trips also showed Chinese industry (rug weaving, shoe making, jade carving) and other typical activities (a working agricultural commune and performing arts events). The happiest professional experience for me was realizing how eager Chinese students and teachers are to learn more about American women writers, feminists literary criticism, and the women's movement in the United States. Lectures that I offered on these topics were enthusiastically received not only on my universities campus but at four others. Many graduate students and scholars contacted me about their work in progress on women writers and women's studies. I am now corresponding with American Studies centers at several Chinese universities about such topics. Another major women s conference is scheduled in 1989.1 hope I can return to the People's Republic then to survey in • V • more detail just which American women writers and which current ideas about women have stirred Chinese scholars and , . .V found a place in university education. • Living in China was exciting, sometimes difficult, yet fruitful.

Celebrating ten years of quality theatre productions, the Riverview Playhouse kicked off the 1987-88 season with the time-honored Arsenic and Old Lace. The outrageous story of two docile but deadly aunts brought audiences to their feet in sokf-out performances. A veteran to the stage, the musical play Caberet. danced its way into the hearts of theatre goers. Appearing as this years tenth anniversary production, the 1987 performance incorporated some of the music written when the play was made into a movie. Anne Frank stepped into the limelight as the Riverview's third show. The Diary of Anne Frank, a sensitive and straightforward real-life drama, recounted the horror of a young Jewish girl in Nazi Germany. The subject reflected new levels of awareness as the latest Nazi war criminal trials bring renewed interest on the Holocaust. The March production brought lighthearted comedy to the stage. Hadrian VII. a play of pagentry and fantasy, detailed a humorous and heartwarming portrayal of a loser s desire to rule the Vatican as Pope. The season finale. 55 Minutes from Broadway. 1988 Edition, brought to the Playhouse an all new. lively and colorful musical review.

The program was held on February 26-27. in conjunction with National Engineers Week. Local industries participating in the program this year included NASA, Newport News Shipbuilding, Texas Instruments and Hewlett Packard. In addition, the U.S. Air Force presented a scale model of its F-16 fighter jet. Student projects exhibited during the two-day event included a multi-terrain, mini-Baja vehicle and a Mars oxygen experiment. A speech communication lab, robotics lab, and a computer engineering lab also were open to the public. More than $500 in prizes were awarded to top competitors in contests held during the event. Contests were divided into high school and university categories. Included in the open house were: • Model Span Contest, where model bridges were tested for strength and weight as they were crushed before your eyes. Bridges were constructed of epoxy and dry spaghetti. This contest was sponsored by the American Society of Civil Engineers. Mini-Tank Competition, sponsored by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. This featured moving tanks powered by rubber bands, shooting ping-pong balls at a target area. Egg Drop Contest, held on the second floor balcony of the new engineering addition. Contestants competed against their peers to see who designed the best device to protect a raw egg from fracture when dropped from a height of 25 feet. This was also sponsored by the ASME.

Then you should consider becoming a journalist. A step in this direction would be to enroll in ODUs Journalism program. This is a branch of the English Department and the program is interesting and varied. There are seven courses currently offered in the program. Introduction to Journalism is the first course you should take. It teaches you what you need to know to write a good story. This course is followed by Public Relations and Advanced News Reporting, where you learn how to become a good investigative reporter. After all these courses you may take Feature Story Writing, which teaches you how to write and possibly market a feature story. Next is Newspaper Editing and Editorial Writing. In this course you learn how to write a good editorial column, among other things. Last but not least is the Media Law and Ethics course. This teaches about plagarism. lawsuits and the hazards of twisting words. Each year the Journalism Department sponsors the Glen-nan Lecture Series. This is a three-day program held each spring. The series begins with an evening lecture from a well-known journalist. In the past Sam Donaldson and Helen Thomas have been keynote speakers. Each evening another ' _ professional journalist lectures. During the day local journal-ists from print and broadcast media come to meet with ODU students and local high school journalism classes. This is a fine program and enrollment has remained high. Today it can boast of even larger numbers of students. Expansion in the Journalism Department includes recently hiring another instructor for this fall. Although the department may be small now. it is a vital and growing part of the English Department. by Margo Bavry Local media speakers lor 1988 Glennan Lecture Senes WAVY-TV: Joel Rubin.

I'm sure my parents won't want to go to Tuck s or I 4400. What is there to do in this town?” Plenty. Norfolk and the surrounding Tidewater area is one of the best places for cultural events on the east coast. Within 15 minutes of ODU there is the Chrysler Museum. The Chrysler brings in many national art exhibits and houses its own fine collection of art pieces. Some of the traveling exhibits that were shown this year were an African art display and selected photographs of people visiting the Vietnam Wall Memorial in Washington D.C. The Chrysler also has its own collection that ranges from ancient vases to Baroque art to an Egyptian exhibit. Another cultural hot spot is the Hermitage Foundation. The Hermitage is a residence that has been preserved as a museum; it is completely run on private funds. Aside from its art collection the Hermitage has beautiful grounds that anyone who wishes to may walk around; the Hermitage also sits on the banks of the Elizabeth River. An interesting aspect of the Hermitage is that some local artists maintain studios on the grounds, in the smaller cottages that dot the premises. Interested in more festive culture? Hampton Roads is always in the midst of some type of festival. For strawberry lovers Pungo offers its annual strawberry festival during Memorial Day Weekend, or the following weekend one can fight the 250,000 people who cram Waterside for Harborfest. a 3 day outdoor party with live music. Still other festivals include the Chesapeake Jubilee. Hampton Bay Days and the T.G.I.F. celebrations at Towne Point Park. If one's interests is music, the Hampton Jazz Festival is the place to go. Yet. if travel is the ticket, hop a ride to Colonial Williamsburg, VA. historic Charleston. SC or hit the road to Washington D.C. All within a day s drive if a weekend of culture is the plan.

They've been dreaming about graduation since senioritis hit them in March and now it's only an hour away. All the late nights cramming for tests, the classes that bored them and tons of textbooks are past, but their toughest challenges are yet to come. Challenges like careers, starting families or maybe moving to another state are all part of the transition from the academic atmosphere to the “real world.'' As Dr. Joseph Marchello. President made his introductory remarks to the some 1400 anxious soon-to-be-graduates these thoughts may have crossed their minds, but they were still focused on the here and now — graduating. After being deemed graduates each college went to their respective areas to receive their diplomas. Messages like “THX M D“ decorated several graduates' mortarboards and proud parents watched as a new beginning was forming before their eyes. Some shed tears, but more grinned with relief, knowing that they really did make it. Yet. each graduate came to the reality of college ending and some things changing. by B.

Students who care about a college education and the improvement of their university, faculty who strive for scholarly achievement, both in themselves and their students and the administration who work to meet the needs of the students and the university all combine to make the university body. From the freshmen who enter not knowing what to expect to the seniors and graduate students who don’t know what life has in store for them, each one is important; because the university is made up of some of everyone.

First, graduate students have the privilege of paying more for each credit hour that they take. They also have the gift bestowed upon them of paying for each credit hour, even if it is beyond full time. They have the knowledge that a B- is not considered passing. But seriously, graduate students are allowed to check out journals in the library, which underclassmen can't. Those in graduate school have mastered the art of being a student. They have learned much valuable information. They know exactly where every 7-11 store is around campus. They also know exactly where the Big Gulp machines are in each of these stores. They know which stores takes checks and what restaurants have specials and when. They know never to venture on campus when a Norfolk State football game is letting out unless they have about an hour to spend in a traffic jam. They know to always order a Dominos pizza during these times. They know how to save money, which grocery stores double manufacturer s coupons, and which stores give student discounts. They know it is Murphy's Law that the more important it is to wake up in the morning, the more likely it is that the electricity will go off and mess up the digital alarm clock. In short, they know how to get by. Although I did my undergraduate work as well as my graduate work at Old Dominion, some things seem to be different. I no longer have the ability to wait until the last minute before studying for a test. I can't cram. I no longer have the ability (or desire) to pull an all-nighter. I have learned that professors expect more and you MUST deliver. There are no excuses. I have learned that I feel old when I walk through the Midrise and young when I go to class. I guess I’m somewhere in between. I have learned form going to another graduate school for one semester that the people at Old Dominion are the greatest. I have very special friends and supportive professors. We may not be Ivy League (yet), but to me this is much more important. Although there are some parts of graduate school that are not so desirable. I would not trade any of my years at Old Dominion for the world. by Peggy Kerr mi,.]. i .m-.Hii.il. i .iir lA PEOPLE 83 Lion-hearted symbol of spirit: BLUE Every good university should have a mascot to represent them at sport events and other functions.

Botany is the study of plants and their interaction with the environment. During spring. Dr. Lytton Musselman taught botany. Throughout the semester students went into the field to study plants in their true enviornment. The trips ranged from simple campus walks to an hour long drive to the Blackwater Ecological Preserve in Zuni, Virginia. At each of these places students observed and identified many species of plants. Such courses are designed to inform students that without plants our world would not be capable of supporting life. by C.

Leaders In Training The Army Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) was established at Old Dominion University in 1969. Since then. 380 cadets have been commissioned as Second Lieutenants in either the Regular Army. U.S. Army Reserves, or National Guard. Currently, there are cadets participating in the ROTC program. The ODU program is committed to developing leadership and management skills through a variety of physically and mentally challenging training events. Cadets also have the option of attending additional army training during the summer. This training includes Airborne School. Air Assault School. Ranger School, and the Northern Warfare Training Course. The ROTC program prepares the cadets to assume positions of responsibility in both the military and civilian job markets.

Well, dorm-to-dorm window communication may be the answer. But if you don't live in the dorms, this method could be quite impossible. Another alternative could be baffling bumper stickers. Baby on Board signs, or loony license plates; however, a car is an essential. On the other hand, anyone can make a statement with a t-shirt. It's a great way to advertize or publicize what you're feeling and who you are.

Spring fever sounds like a serious illness, but surprisingly enough it is a condition of anticipation and exhilira-tion as the weather gets warmer. Something happens to college students when the sun beats down on their heads and a refreshing breeze blows. They lose all sense of time: they find themselves missing class for no apparent reason except maybe to sit in the sun and soak up the spring rays. Sun and studying just don't seem to mix when it comes to college students. The spring air brings an adventuresome spirit to the campus. Students receive a second wind of energy and vigor that prompts them to be and to some degree (about 70) crazy. I don't know of a successful remedy for spring fever except maybe summer break. Some students get a temporary cure from spring break in Ft. Lauderdale or any warm weather climate, others just suffer it out. The best thing to do is just hang on. by C. Joynes LUCKILY.

The college has also developed graduate programs in the health-related professions that meet the needs of the Eastern Virginia region, the state and the nation. The School of Nursing offers programs leading to the Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing and the Master of Science degree with a concentration in Nursing. It prepares the graduate students through academic courses and clinical experiences to give them a wide range of knowledge. The goal is to meet the present nationwide demand for nurses who can serve as clinical-practitioners, teachers and administrators as well as to pursue dotoral study. The School of Nursing is fully accredited by the Virginia State Board of Nursing and the National League for Nursing. Another program offered by the College of Health Sciences is Medical Technology. Students have the opportunity to gain a bachelors in this field and begin working in a hospital, technology lab or clinical office. Health sciences also has a very good pre-medical program, which prepares students to continue on to medical school. Often students opt for Eastern Virginia Medical School, which is only about a fifteen minute drive from ODU's campus. Whatever the interest, if you want to work in the medical profession.

Thomas Getting an education is expensive and getting more expensive each year. Just ask anyone who is paying for all or part of college tuition. But that's not the only expense of going to college. Books, supplies, fees, a place to live and food to eat are requirements for a higher education. Then there's clothes, gas. liquor, posters, late-night munchies and miscellaneous entertainment costs that are almost as important! It all adds up to a big fat BILL at the end of the month. How do poor students manage to get by? Some kids are lucky enough to have rich parents pay for their school. Others qualify for financial aid through loans or grants. Smart students can sometimes get scholarships. But often all of these don't help enough. Most students end up working, at least for some of their college funds. Summer employment is perhaps the most convenient and common way for full time students to add to a dwindling bank account. Waiters and waitresses. lifeguards and bellhops are standard youth opportunities in the working world. Yet there are also other options. Workstudy and internships offer hands-on experience as well as money. Some enterprising students go into business for themselves, offering their skills or services from tutoring to typing to research assistant. Then there's employment offered through the university which incorporates just about all of the above choices! If you are struggling, working your way through school on a limited budget, you can be sure that you are not alone.

This law was part of a nationwide push against drinking under age. Because teenage alcoholism was on the rise in : 1987-88. and continues to rise many states decided to try and solve the problem with legislation. To the dismay of many college students that left them in a fix. Some turned to fake identification and it worked for : awhile, but the police caught on and cracked down on fake IDs. Some officers went as far as arresting the student on i. site, but most confiscated the identification and sent students off with warnings. r Along with the Virginia law, ODU implemented a new drinking policy; any organization wishing to host an event where - alcohol will be present must have 80% of their active members of legal drinking age. This basically left the campus known - as ’ dry. With the new drinking law. most college students won't be legal to drink until their junior or senior year. This didn't stop the ingenious college student; finding a friend to buy alcohol for him was not difficult and often times r easier and safer than fake IDs. Still the knowledge of getting caught and possibly being arrested did deter under age drinking some, but not nearly : enough for the Virginia legislators. The new law also hurt businesses across from ODU and even in Virginia Beach. On campus alone, the Rathskeller was : forced to close, partly because business was down due to so few legal drinkers on campus. . 1. i.m .nii .i. 122 PEOPLE i Christopher Parker. IDS Bob Powell.

Psychology Alternate Clubs The drinking age in Virginia has been gradually rising over 2 the past few years. Each year clubs have been denying -admittance to those younger than the legal drinking age. One : result has been the emergence of clubs exclusively for under- 2 age partygoers. £ Some clubs have elected to go for the dual stamp system. -where drinkers have a different identifying stamp on their ] hand than the underage patron. H Other clubs like Zoids don't serve alcohol at all. therefore ; anyone is permitted in; this leads to college students feeling I like parents when ten year-olds run by them while dancing. ] Yet other clubs just don't want the hassle or risk and don't -allow under 21s in at all. - PEOPLE 123 Class of ’89 Michael Schubert.

The theatre is located on 47th St. across from ODU. Photo by F. Copeland The dual project of The Stables Theatre and the University Theatre” was finally completed due to much hard work and careful planning by the project manager. Jack Zwicker and the Office of Architectural Services. Construction of the Stables Theatre began in August 1987; it consisted of a remodeled rehearsal hall and a new scene shop with an experimental stage for teaching. There have been two performances since it has been built. The University Theatre, in the Technology Bldg, was completely renovated. The seats were refurbished and a new sound system was installed. The acoustics were improved by the extended stage and the inward sloping of the ceiling and walls. The lobby has also been remodeled to produce a theatrical feeling before one enters the auditorium. This theatre is accessible to the handicapped, which is an important added feature. The combined theatre project will cost $900,000 when all plans are finished. by C.

Those available at ODU are somewhat different but all are dedicated to providing acceptance and love to students and the community. They provide the opportunity for the students to explore the questions and meaning of faith, morality, ethics, and the very purpose and meaning of life and its relationships. Those student centers are all located on 49th Street between Hampton Blvd. and Powhatan Avenue, dubbing the avenue as God Squad Row! Each center offers its community of students and others a many-faceted program of social, educational, and religious activities, with directed outreach of service to the community, and connection to the social justice issues and agencies of import to our nation and world. The University Chaplains Association of ODU sponsors activities to express the unity of faith and service. Events for the 1987-88 school year were a Block Dance (October). Thanksgiving Worship (November), Hunger Awareness (Fall and Spring), Blood Drive (Spring), Ash Wednesday Baccalaureate (May), a monthly Faculty-Staff breakfast with speaker as well as other activities. Each center has its own publication of events special to its campus ministry group. The Canterbury Center (Episcopal) provides opportunities for worship, study, friendship, programs, counseling and support to all members of the university.

S. operettas is Dr. Charles Bell's hobby. On stage and off he is actively involved in The Norfolk Savoyard. Ltd . His voice rings over Gilbert and Sullivan The Chemistry department at ODU is harboring one of Norfolk’s emminent Savoyards, persons devoted to Gilbert Sullivan Operettas. Dr. Charles Bell feels as comfortable using his vocal, acting, and directing ability in the theatre as he does giving organic chemistry lectures to ODU students. One rarely associates chemistry labs with theatrical performances, but this talented professor has performed in numerous plays and musicals as a leading actor or chorus member. Church choir and musicals at the University of Virginia, Bell's Alma Mater, sparked his interest in the stage. In 1964 Dr. and Mrs. Bell founded The Norfolk Savoyard. Ltd., who performs one or two Gilbert and Sullivan Operettas a year at either the Norfolk Center Theatre. The group consists of approximately ninety actors and musicians who donate their time. Involved with scheduling, technical aspects and finances, which is a big responsibility because the organization pays for itself, a 12 to 14 thousand dollar budget, Dr. Bell is an essential member. The goal of the Savoyards is to acquaint people with the timeless plays of Gilbert and Sullivan. “Performing the oper-attas is preserving a classic. You find persons in today's society who are the same as a character written about one hundred years ago, said Dr. Bell who then summarized why people invest their time and talent in operettas, it is tradition and we enjoy it!” by H.

Gooden 144 PEOPLE When I was in the house of Representatives I was often asked if I missed university life, and now that I am back on campus I am frequently asked if I miss being in Congress. The fact is that I found satisfying careers in both places. Comparisons cannot be made between them. Yet I can recall sitting in the cloakroom and talking about the joy of teaching in contrast to the frustrations of being a legislator. I would tell my colleagues that I missed the daily association with students in whose presence I always found enthusiasm, excitement. and much of the intangible joy that comes with being young. It was for this reason that I knew in my heart that I would not spend the rest of my days in Washington, no matter how much political success I might have. As the years passed and during my occasional visits to Old Dominion's campus, I found myself remembering my earliest days as a young history instructor when Old Dominion was just a branch of William and Mary and we were beginning to grow into the great institution that we have become. Thus, when I determined to retire from politics, the decision was made easier when I learned that a generous gift from Mr. and Mrs. George Kaufman would make it possible for me to return to Old Dominion and my first love, teaching. My first year back has brought with it all the pleasures of former times and more. Perhaps because of an eighteen year absence I am simply experiencing the tonic that comes with being in the presence of so much youth. There is also another reward in my homecoming. The students I taught over a generation ago have gone on to fulfill the promise that I saw when they sat in my classroom. They occupy positions of leadership and trust in private and public life that fill me with pride. Now I find gratification in teaching their children, knowing that they will perpetuate a tradition of achievement that is so much a part of ODU history. God has blessed my life and the gift of my remaining years as part of the ODU family, is the richest that I could receive. by Dr. Bill Whitehurst ALWAYS enjoying students.

Of course joining formal groups can offer chances for growth in many ways, from improving one’s organizational skills to taking the chance to learn about something new.

WODU 150 ACTIVITIES As you enter the stairwell on the north side of Webb Center, you hear a faint sound that seems to be coming from above. It's not quite clear to you, but it appears to have a beat. Or, maybe it's a guitar... or maybe it's just your imagination and there's simply a group of students talking up on the second floor. By the time you've rounded the first flight of stairs, and the door to second floor is in your sight, the sound becomes a bit clearer and you have definitely identified it as music. But, what kind of music is it? It doesn't sound like anything you've ever heard before, well, maybe once when you were walking down the hall in Rogers. Actually the music sounds quite good, most definitely different, but by this time you realize that this is music you would really like to get to know. Your hand reaches for the door, turns the knob, and the answers to your questions become apparent as the door swings open. Welcome to the world of WODU — TIDEWATER'S ALTERNATIVE RADIO. Well, perhaps their slogan is a bit ambitious in that WODU can only be heard in the residence halls (AM 640) and Webb Center, but the ambitious name reflects the ambitious attitude of the staff — the largest staff of all campus student organizations. WODU has come a long way, from a broom closet (literally), to their air and production studios in Webb Center, and hopefully on to the air over Tidewater in the near future. The station has worked closely with the University's administrators for over four years in an effort to receive FCC licensing that would send their signal out over Tidewater, and it looks likes, with persistance. that their dream may become a reality in a few more years. WODU plays primarily alternative or progressive music that you will not hear on commercial (or any) stations in the area. But, there are time slots that cater to all kinds of music. Why? Because they train all kinds of D.J.s. WODU, like all campus stations, is the training ground for future D.J.s, advertising reps., general managers, engineers, and just about any profession a student can major in at Old Dominion — yes. even Psych, majors who are interested in radio can get involved.

DANCING their hearts out was the key to winning the Greek Week Dance contest. Students interested in joining a sorority and fraternity have about a week at the beginning of each semester to explore Greek organizations. Rushees, attend mixers where potential pledges meet the sisters or brothers who represent the Greek organizations on campus. The sororities and fraternities use the week to find prospective members and encourage them to pledge. The process of elimination begins the first day when a student chooses four Greek organizations he wishes to learn more about and day by day eliminates until he is left with two to decide upon. The last day of Rush Week, the student must decide between the two. If the student decides to participate in pledging he goes to the Greek table in Webb of his final choice sorority or fraternity, which signifies formal interest. The student then participates in pledge activities throughout the semester. and if chosen to be a brother or sister, they will be notified at the end of the semester. The Rush process does vary between the three Greek divisions; Intra Fraternity Council, Panhellenic, and the Black Greek Council. Mindy Sopher coordinates the Greek affairs for ODU. Kevin Mack, the Chairman of IFC Rush for 87-88 commented, the Greek system is working together to make sure freshmen are aware of the Greek opportunites. IFC President Tim Reis-tetter adds. Rush is the time to let everyone know what Greek life is all about, the service, work, social and academic aspects. John Jones, Chairman of Public Relations for the BGC summarizes, the BGC is for the eight predominantly black sororities and fraternities. The pledge period is not to intimidate, but to build oneness and become close. The BGC also concentrates on three main aspects: scholarship, social and service. John concluded, we are getting involved with the planning of Greek week and basically promoting Greek is Greek.” by Heidi Shiner CIRCLE K ORDER Back Row: Mack Stevens. Sharon Ramsey. Mike Kubovchik.

Carolyn Cistola Hosts of Annual State Meetings Theta-Xi Chapter Runs Away With Honors Phi Alpha Theta, the International Honor Society in History, was founded in 1921 for the purpose of promoting the study of history and encouraging academic excellence. Old Dominion s Theta Xi Chapter, active since 1962. is one of over six hundred and fifty chapters nationwide. The Chapter's 1987-1988 year was a particularly successful one; its contribution to the academic atmosphere on campus was recognized not only by the Chairman of the Department of History and the Dean of the College of Arts and Letters, but also by the University President. The chapter helped to stimulate interest in history by sponsoring a number of campus-wide lectures by various speakers. These included a member of the Royal Historical Society who spoke on the making of the English alehouse, a former U.S. Congressman who presented lively ancecdotes from Washington, and a current U.S. Congressman who spoke on Virginia and the Constitution. The chapter helped to encourage academic excellence by hosting the annual state meeting. Members of chapters throughout Virginia were invited to present papers, and the public was invited to attend. Dr. Joseph M. Marchello. President of Old Dominion University, greeted the guests and discussed the University's mission. Also present was Dr. Charles O. Burgess. Dean of the College of Arts and Letters, who spoke of the value of a liberal arts education. Two prizes were awarded, one each for the best graduate and undergraduate papers. The Theta Xi Chapter, having taken both prizes during last year's meeting at the University of Virginia, made another clean sweep. The graduate winner, for the second year in a row. was Phil McCaskey. a teaching assistant in the Department of History. Phil's research led him to examine the impact of the baby boom” on American economy and society. His paper was entitled 'Look Ma. No Cavities!' The American Youth Consumer Culture in the 1950's.” The undergraduate winner was Doug Morrison, a junior majoring in history who was interested in the daily life experiences of colonial settlers, especially at the lower end of the social spectrum. His paper was entitled, Bound Hands in a Free Land: Indentured Servitude in Seventeenth Century Virginia. Christopher Hudgins, also from Old Dominion, received honorable mention for his paper. Public Opinion and the Tonkin Gulf Resolution. Through its consistently strong performance, the Theta Xi Chapter of Phi Alpha Theta has brought recognition to Old Dominion University within the society. It previously has received honorable mention in the National Best Chapter Awards, and is hoping to win Best Chapter this year. Whether it wins or not. there can be no doubt that it successfully has promoted the study of history and encouraged academic excellence at Old Dominion University. by Doug Morrison 154 PEOPLE BIOLOGICAL HONOR SOCIETY Back Row: Gordon Theisz.

Dean of Academic Affairs explains the proposed flex scheduling and answers questions. Photo by F. Copeland The purpose of the Student Senate is to make recommendations on university policy and to oversee the allocation of money for students organizations. The officers serve on the Board of Visitors and other student committees. The Senate is the student's voice to the administration that relays the feelings and opinions of the students. The 30 seats of the Senate serve as representatives of the student body. In the past, the Senate has recommended the establishment of the plus minus grading system. They have also fought to get flexible scheduling approved to no availability. They plan to keep fighting this issue. The Senate has also been responsible for making recommendations concerning the student seating for football season. Most of the Senate s power is in recommending and fortunately for the students the administration has been fairly receptive. One major responsibility of the Senate is the budget of student activities. They are in charge of allocating funds for various student organizations. The plans this year consisted of linking up with area universities to get more lobbying power in the General Assembly. They also worked on putting together a 20-year plan to predict the university's growth by the year 2000. According to President Doug Tudor activism is important, I just want to get people involved to bring about the changes that they want. I will be a more vocal voice both to the administration and to the students.” The members of the Senate from four committees included Academic Affairs, Finance and Public Review, Student Services and Women's, International and Minority Student's Concerns. We are generally trying to make the university the best for all of the students.” commented Matt Harrah, the Vice-President of Academic Affairs and Finance. by C.

Copy Editor Heidi Shiner had no problems writing creative copy to be published for the yearbook. It’s late on a Tuesday night, you've just got out of a three hour night class and you think you're the only one left in BAL. But wait, down the hall of the second floor you hear Old Time Rock-n-Roll by Bob Seger and wander closer to investigate the source. You turn the corner and to your surprise you find a group of ten to twelve people working at a layout table talking about picas and spot color and nervously saying, Hurry, we re on deadline. You just stumbled into The Laureate office. Although some people still weren't aware of it. ODU began a tradition that had ended eleven years ago with the closing of the Troubadour, producing a yearbook. Early in 1986 the university decided to bring the yearbook back and began the long and tedious process of setting it up. It took a year to get offices, find a portrait company and secure a publishing company. When the fall semester began six editors, along with some volunteer staff and about twenty photographers began putting together what you're reading now. Then a name had to be chosen, so the staff took it to the student body with a Name the Yearbook contest. The name was chosen by a vote of the entire staff, but ironically the name was an anonymous entry. By definition, a laureate is someone or something of high honorary status; we just thought it had a nice ring to it. Besides the typical yearbook problems like a shortage of writers and layout artists. The Laureate staff found out how paperwork is involved in doing a project like this. Learning how to read contracts, filling out purchase orders and meeting with administrators went along with the editors' jobs, but it wasn't all work. The Laureate staff had fun together too; aside from parties. the staff took in flics together, had a beach blowout and most often just enjoyed having wrap sessions in the office. And the fringe benefits that accompany involvement in The Laureate were pretty nice too. Writers could get credit for serving an internship with the yearbook or. under another program students could get upper division elective credits. The editors' positions were paid by stipends and all the photographers received their supplies from the yearbook. It was quite an endeavor to get set up and produce a yearbook all in one year (not to mention occasionally attending class and studying), but just knowing we were part of a new tradition made it all worth it. Besides it's the best time one can have without spending an entire paycheck! by B.

Tours of Norfolk's harbor are featured and other port-related facilities are toured. The first Annual Banquet was held on April 26. 1988 and a Student Port Convention is being planned for the spring semester of 1989 to be held in Norfolk. Also, monthly luncheon programs are scheduled during both the fall and spring semesters where guest speakers from the maritime and other related industries are invited to speak to the student members. Senior Port (Port of Norfolk) members are also in attendance. This provides the student members opportunities to learn how their classroom knowledge applies to the business world and to come in contact with prominent persons in maritime and allied industries. The Port of ODU also provides scholarships and internships. A book scholarship is being implemented in conjunction with the Port of Norfolk in the fall of 1988. along with internships for students during the summer months. The Propeller Club of the U.S. sponsors a National Maritime Essay Contest for College Student Ports each March with scholarship awards of over $2000.

Thomas Student Activities Council !, In the summer of 1987. the Activities Programming Board (APB) was restructured and reorganized in an effort to better meet the extracurricular programming needs of the students at Old Dominion University. Following a new name campaign in the fall of 1987. the Student Activities Council (SAC) was created with the intention of providing a diverse selecton of programs and activities for all students and the university community. This effort to redevelop and expand has proven to be one of great significance and success. Since its inception. SAC has been responsible for the planning and implementation of a variety of events including movies, retreats. lectures and other entertainment. For instance during the fall orientation week the SAC provided students with a variety of events and activities. This weeks festivities culminated in an outdoor beach party on the front steps of the HP E building. Free food and beach music by Baby Huey and The Babysitters provided students with an evening of dancing and fun. The SAC also participated in and co-sponsored the Old Dominion University Literary Festival. In addition to sponsoring six well known authors. the SAC had the pleasure to introduce and spend time with Louise Erdrich, author and poet. Also, the SAC sponsored a one-man presentation of Mark Twain on tour. Performer Ken Richters wearing his white suit and sporting a gold pocketwatch stole laughs from a large audience at the Godwin Life Sciences Building while expressing opinions about religion, politicians and teachers. Throughout the semester, the SAC provided students with a weekly movie series featuring top rated movies. This included a special showing of Alfred Hitchcock's “Vertigo'’ and Mamie.” as well as Monty Python's The Meaning of Life and 162 ACTIVITIES Life of Brian. An evening of movies and refreshments offered students an opportunity to take a break from studying and enjoy their favorite movies. Furthermore, the SAC co-sponsored a tailgate party with the Athletics Dept, during the Met-Life Soccer Classic and participated in Alcohol Awareness Week by sponsoring a free game night in the Webb Center gameroom. During spring, the SAC continued its commitment toward providing various social, cultural and intellectual programs to meet the needs and interests of the university community. In February, the SAC co-sponsored the opening ceremonies of Black History Month by featuring a presentation by Mr. Felix Justice entitled Prophecy in America. Also in honor of Black History month, the SAC provided films as part of its spring movie series focusing on the accomplishments and experiences of black individuals. The SAC provided excitement in February by sponsoring one of the most amazing performances ever witnessed, featuring Tom Deluca. Hypnotist Comedian. Bringing his own brand of humor to a show that revolves around hypnotism. Deluca stunned a packed audience in the Webb Center north cafeteria. The semester concluded with the SAC'S biggest and most impressive event of the year, the Exam Jam before you Cram” outdoor concert. The event which took place on the front lawn of Webb Center had the flare and excitement of an actual concert. Approximately 1500 students and faculty jammed to the music of the Boneshakers while playing hackeysac and throwing frisbees. The event, certain to become a tradition at Old Dominion was a superb way to end a most remarkable and successful year of programming for the SAC. Thanks for all your support and participation.

We originated at Boston University on November 2,1909 and are now the third largest fraternity in the country. This was our fifteenth year at ODU since receiving our charter on April 7. 1973. To us. fraternity means helping our fellow man get the most out of his college experience. We offer a wide range of activities for a young man in which he can excel. Fraternity life is not the ’ Animal House” of yesteryear, although we have our moments, there are other activities which Keep us busy. Lambda Chi Alpha frequently has first place teams in intramural sports. Anyone with a desire to participate in sports can find rewards by playing in the Greek intramural system. Virtually all members participate in one sport or another ranging from softball to bowling. Lambda Chi trophies include, first place soccer three years running, first place softball.’first place volleyball, and various other awards. In addition to sports. Lambda Chi Alpha promotes academic achievement and community service. Peer pressure within the fraternity helps to keep our grades above the overall men’s average on campus. Our academic standards are set above ODU's minimum requirements. As an incentive for higher grades. Lambda Chi Alpha has established a scholarship fund to reward at least one derserving brother full tuition. Lambda Chi does community service projects to aid charities in the Norfolk area. American Diabetes Association has sponsored our Bike-A-Thon from ODU to Washington D.C. for three years in a row. raising nearly $5000 a year. Last fall our joint Walk-A-Thon with ZTA raised over $1500 for United Cerebral Palsy in 48 hours. Also, canned food drives are held throughout the year to resupply area food banks. Community service projects of this type, as well as our academic and athletic achievements gained us the Outstanding Chapter Award for the 1986-87 school year. Our Parties? Oh. our social events”, they give us an opportunity to unwind and forget about the pressures for a while and give us a chance to meet new people. 164 ACTIVITIES mtltMimin it PI BETA PHI Back Row: Kathy Moore.

In December, fine new officers were elected to assume the responsibilities of president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, pledge mistress. and personnel chairman. Since scholarship and community service are two of Chi Omega's purposes, the chapter strove to fulfill goals in these areas. After fall semester. Chi Omega attained the highest G.P.A. on campus among other sororities. Various community service projects included: volunteering for Kids Fair at Scope, helping out with water stations at Shamrock Marathon, and organizing an adopt a grandparent program at Hillhaven nursing home.

Karen Pmneo (President), Sherry Brubaker Since the chapter s founding at ODU in 1965, Alpha Tau Omega has established itself as a leading organization on campus. Our fraternity has a long history of excellence through involvement with both the university, and service to the Tidewater community. In holding with the tradition of our past, our 1987-88 school year was extraordinary. We began the year early last fall with our annual assistance as Valet's in the Anheiser Busch Golf Classic. Greek participation aided in netting an excess of $20,000 in donations to ODU from grateful Anheiser Busch sponsors. We further expanded on services to the university through our assistance in events ranging from alumni donation, phonathons to Big Blue Bash celebrations following Monarch Basketball games. Alpha Tau Omega exceeded even its expectations in community service projects ths year. Perhaps our most successful project was our involvement with the Norfolk Interfaith Coalition for the Elderly. N.I.C.E. is a local organization which directly aids Tidewater senior citizens, and we welcome the opportunity to continue our involvement with them. Other highlights include our assistance as croupiers during Casino Night an annual event hosted by local lawyer Peter Decker which raised funds for the St. Judes Children's Hospital. We were also proud to be involved with the ODU Muscular Dystrophy Association Carnival, where we hosted a dart booth as a fundraising event. Taken as a whole, we view our service this year as most successful and look forward to continuing it. Alpha Tau Omega held its own on the university sports fields as well. Our fraternity athletics have long been a dominant force on campus, this year was no different. We highlighted a season of intramural sports, first and second place finishers with outright dominance as Greek basketball championships. But perhaps our most celebrated event occured at the close of the spring semester. Greek Week 1988 began largely as usual in a flourish of nonstop events. The competition was tight through much of the week, however as the finals closed in we pulled together and recaptured the Greek Week championship cup. This was the crowning achievement of an exceptional year: a year of service, involvement, scholarship, and competition. It was a year we undertook in brotherhood, and a year in which we excelled... in brotherhood. by Mark Gatlin Alpha Chi is a coeducational society whose purpose is to promote academic excellence and exemplary character among college and university students and to honor those who achieve such distinction. As a general honor society. Alpha Chi admits to membership students from all academic disciplines. Membership in Alpha Chi recognizes previous accomplishments and provides opportunity for continued growth and service. ACTIVITIES 169 Mace Crown Why is it that practically every security officer on campus knows every editor at the Mace Crown? Probably because like every other newspaper, collegiate or otherwise, they work late into the night, especially on Tuesdays before the paper goes to press on Wednesday morning. The staff is made up of several kinds of people. There are the copywriters (reporters) who go out and get the stories, the photographers who get the shots needed, the layout staff who design the paper and the typesetters who prepare the paper for printing. Then there are the advertisement sales people, who bring in revenue to keep the paper in operation and finally the editors who keep the show running. The Mace Crown is designed to give students a chance to see what the world of newsprint is like. It is published weekly and distributed free to the campus. The editors receive stipends and the experience that goes with the job. This year the Mace received new typesetting equipment and is looking toward to upgrading some other aspects of their organization. Recruitment is another goal for next year s staff. Editors are elected by a staff vote and hold the position for two consecutive semesters. They welcome new members, just drop by Webb Center. 2nd floor.

Photo By C. Johnson What is the Honor Council? How does it operate? Several students may attempt to explain, but many do not know the main purpose of the Honor Council or honor system. Honor Awareness Week was designed to provide students with sufficient knowledge about ODU's honor system and the people who work behind the scenes. Activities such as a videotaped model hearing and the honor slogan contest were held. Dr. Bill Whitehurst lectured on the importance of the honor system to the academic community, and several community schools spoke out on how important the honor system is to their school. The Honor Council has pointed out the significance of the honor system through advertising in the Mace Crown and hanging posters in classrooms and stamping each blue book with a pledge requiring a signature of honor by the student taking the test. Robyn Klesath, Director of Honor Awareness Week, however, doesn't feel that students take the honor system (pledge) seriously. Klesath said, that many students are curious about the hearings. Vital information about the hearings and honor system will be taught to the students through the activities of Honor Awareness Week. The program is not planned to benefit students only and is open to the community and faculty. by K.

This didn't seem to bring down the motivation of ODU as they came back with a 2pt. lead in the 2nd half 40-38. ODU led three times in the game, but only by 2pts. The Soviets were coached by Leonia Yachmenev and led by Elena Khudasheva. who had 22 points for the game. Soviets took advantage of the new three point rule, and made five of the attempted 19 three point shots. ODU did not attempt any. Glimpses of ultimate effort was seen on the court, and the crowd tried to cheer the Monarchs to victory. The Soviet National team had been playing together as a team for four and half months, whereas ODU only played together for three weeks. This not only showed the effect of the loss 87-74 for ODU. but also the lack of preparation at the time. Coach Larry added, our execution was not there tonight and we did not adjust to the international step very well.

Photo by C. Johnson artial Raw knuckles, callused feet and aching muscles are the external signs of aperson in martial arts training, but the inner signs are mental strength, confidence and dedication. Many think the martial arts are the arts of self-defense, but the martial arts program is really the training of discipline. Martial arts stresses discipline and concentration. The practice of any martial art requires complete concentration because without it the necessary intensity required to perfect the martial arts skills will never come about. The key to martial arts is discipline; when a perfect discipline level is reached then intensity and skill will follow. The Dept, of Health. Physical Education, and Recreation offers courses in beginning, intermediate, and practical self-defense, martial arts theory (zen), kendo (swordsmanship) and aikido. Many of the classes are taught under the direction of Sensei Tesshin Hamada. a eight-degree black belt in karate-do, fifth degree black belt in judo, jujutsu and aikijujutsu and a third degree black belt in kendo.

CHEERING at losing games is no fun. but part of the job. STUCK In a contest. Oscar Gamble sacrifices himself for a cause. What do you think of when you hear Cheerleader '? A loudmouthed. smiling-faced, happy-dispositioned. fun-loving individual? Well this is partially right, but a college cheerleader is also a full time student maintaining at least a 2.0 G.P.A. and a hard-working athlete. The lives of the cheerleaders aren't all fun and basketball games, they also cheer for soccer games. Seriously, folks the 7 men and 7 women who make up this year's squad have devoted their entire school year to promote school spirit. An average week for the Monarch cheerleaders is: at least two 2-hour practices and two 2-hour games during basketball season. They have to be at the game one hour early to practice and polish up on new routines for the game. Extra activities that are a part of their job are pep rallies, pep clubs, clinics for recreation leagues, cheerleading camps, public relations for club openings. Waterside performances and hosting dinners for university groups. They also judge junior high and high school cheerleading tryouts. According to captain Eve Goldblatt. a senior in Environmental Health, you meet a lot of people, and they look up to you (as a cheerleader), and it makes you feel good. Although they sacrifice their weekends, free time, some study time, and part of their Spring Break because of their loyalty to the team. ... it's a lot of fun. especially during a winning season, says Eve.

How does it feel to be a male cheerleader? In high school. I loved to watch college (basketball) games-l saw the cheerleading and thought. Wow. that's cool! so then I got here. I tried out. captain 4th year Bill McDowan answers. It's been rough at times and thought I might quit, but I decided to stick with it because I love it so much. Some guys are apprehensive about joining the squad, but all the male cheerleaders have athletic backgrounds and in some ways cheerleading makes you more masculine. Being a cheerleader makes you a responsible leader. It keeps you in shape and trams you to work well with people. These qualities are essential for success in any area of life. No. a good cheerleader isn't just a pretty face; it takes skill, talent, dedication and hard work. But it is all worth it just to cheer the Monarchs on to victory — to keep on keepin' on!

Copeland -7 m KiaUin For the last five years or so a new type of weight training has emerged as the choice of athletic trainers and fitness conscious people alike; it's called Nautilus. ODU has added more updated equipment to its Nautilus and weight training room. Much of the former equipment was old and becoming a hazard try to work on. Some of the new equipment included an abdominal machine and a new arm machine to replace the old one. Most of the time the room is used by athletes who are in training for an upcoming season or a season that is underway. Nautilus classes are offered through the university and are a great way of getting in shape while getting an A. If you don’t have time to fit a class into your schedule, training sessions are held and then a person is free to go to the Nautilus room when ever it is open. The machines' workouts range for those that concentrate on the calves, the stomach, the lower legs, the thighs, the shoulders and the arms. To run through a complete workout, without a partner, it takes about a half an hour. The routine begins with the largest muscle group and works its way down as you work through the machines.

The ODU swimming team will be one to watch in the future. When Joe Gentry arrived the program underwent some radical changes. According to the upperclassmen these changes were much needed, senior co-captain Howard Hoffman said. 'Thank God for Gentry. Gentry and VanAllman spend their time between morning and afternoon workouts recruiting and fundraising for the program. They are working on a new Olympic sized pool and a superior swimming center for the early 1990's. Of course by then the team will have met Gentry's goals. ODU swimming currently has one of the toughest line ups around, in order to gain the experience needed for the future.

Fitness centers and gyms are overrun with men and women with the primary focus of improving their figures.

Suddenly. Tony spots a lime-green piece of paper flapping mockingly from the windshield of his little RX7; it's another parking ticket, and enough to send Tony into a fit of curses that would make Bette Midler blush. This is just one part of what our campus police handle in a day's work. Most of the time students think of the police as those pain-in-the-butt” people who go around handing out parking tickets like they were business cards, but the ODU Public Safety Office is responsible for many more services aside from parking. One of the primary concerns of any public safety office is crime prevention through protection; the ODU Public Safety Office is no different. The campus police provide two basic types of protection: property and personal. The first type of protection is brought about in several ways. One way is through uniform car patrol; this is exactly what it says. The officer patrols the campus and surrounding areas in hopes of deterring crime. Another way the security officers try to guard property is by monitoring the buildings on campus. Each night one or two officers walk through campus buildings such as Batten Arts and Letters. Webb Center or the Education Building. These foot patrols take place as many as five times per night for each building. If someone is found in a building late at night their idetification is checked, called into the dispatcher and verified that they are currently a student at ODU. Another service offered to the community is engraving. Any student or faculty member who wishes to tag their property may check out an engraver tool for 24 hours. In addition, engraving tables are set up in the dorms each year, free of charge to the students. By engraving property, students gain better odds at recovering poperty if it is stolen. said Eric Shoemaker. Director of Public Safety. The second kind of protection is personal protection. Aside from the student escort service, which also operates from the public safety office, the police provide escorts when the student escort service is not operating; an escort service is also provided to the Bursar's Office or a local bank for anyone handling a large sum of money. This service is used mostly by student organizations and campus departments, according to Lieutenant Bright of the campus police. Should a person become ill or injured and transportation is unavailable, the public safety office will provide a medical escort to the hospital. The lost and found department is also run from the public safety office. The office sends someone out to three pick up locations on campus each week and retrieves lost articles. The articles are then logged in and stored for a year, after which they are auctioned off for operation funds to be added to the lost and found budget. A crime prevention program is also active on campus. Several times a year the public safety office sponsors lectures on how to prevent date rape, how to protect yourself and how to guard your property. The seminars are located in the dorms as well as central locations such as Webb Center. Yet with all the protection on campus, crimes were still committed. The biggest problem seen by Mr. Shoemaker was carelessness. Many people didn't take precautions to protect themselves such as parking near lights, calling an escort or marking valuables. We (the officers) can't be everywhere at once, so people must be aware of the dangers around them.” said Shoemaker. I'd love to have a large enough force to cover more ground, but that isn't possible on our budget. A good public safety office is one that is visible on campus and the community knows it is there, but many of the tasks the office handles are not visible as the ones people love to hate, like the ones giving tickets. ODU's Public Safety Office does their job the best they can with what the university gives them, both ticketing and protection. by B.

Photos by C. Johnson BRIEFING what to expect. Dr. Musselman explains to classes that the road serves as a fire lane. 238 COMMUNITY Ecological Control is ... Hot Stuff The biology department is extremely diverse in its research on select issues. One of those research activities included a forest burn in the Blackwater Ecological Preserve located in south eastern Virginia close to route 460. west of Suffolk, Va.. near Zuni. Virginia. The Blackwater Ecological Preserve is a tract of land owned by ODU that the biology department maintains. It is a region dominated by Pine trees (Pinus sp.). Pine is a fire dependent species which means that it has adapted to fire within its life cycles. Since pine is not a climax species (a climax species is a tree that lives in a region that has completed an ecological succession). If fire was deleted from the area by action of humanity, the area into a hardwood system. Fire is a natrual part of a pine system that burns off other plant species thus maintaining the pines. Due to this, the pine is considered a climax community in this region. Contrary to popular belief, fire is a very important system. Fire causes the combustion of excess burnable vegitation and cleans the area so that pine seedling may germinate. The biology department at ODU, in conjuction with state officials. coordinated the burning of a section in spring 1988 in the Blackwater Ecological Preseve to help replace the necessary fires that fire controls have reduced. The operation was aided by the help of both Dr. Levy's and Dr. Musselman's biology students. The area of land that was burned had not been burned in several years. Areas such as the Blackwater Ecological Preserve require fire every few years or there will be such a accumulation of litter (decomposing leaves, stems, and other dropped or secreted biomass of plants) that when it is finally burned it will be large and uncontrollable. This burn was simply a small burn that eliminates this excess litter and prepares it for another burn later to get rid of the rest. At times, the fire got so large and wide that many thought that the fire would not stop at the predetermined fire lines designed to stop the fire and preventing it from continuing to burn in areas that do not need to be burned. All was kept in control however. To start and control the fire, volunteers used drip torches, which held a fuel and a small flame at the tip. The torch was inverted so that the fuel dripped out and was ignited by the flame. The volunteers then walked through the woods, keeping a certain space between each other to set the land on fire. Having others walk behind each person with a drip torch over a few feet allows for the fire to burn against itself, thus keeping itself under control. Fire lanes were also established to maintain the flames. Fire lanes are areas that are cleared of any flammable matter. The next fire that will be set will be done to burn the rest of the excess litter. Other areas of land may also be considered for burning. by Chris Johnson PINE trees have adapted to the powerful substance, fire, and reproduce immediately to keep the dominating species of the forest growing WATCHING the fire control itself.

Now in it’s seventh semester, 13 students working under Lt. Lucas actively patrol the campus on rotating shifts from 5:30 P.M. to 12:30 A.M. seven nights a week. The primary purpose of an escort is to ensure a student, staff member or visitor is safely taken from one location to another. The range an escort can walk a person includes university grounds as well as reasonable walking distances from the university. The escorts are in constant radio communication with the campus police and report any problems or suspicious activities directly to the police. The service is very successful. averaging 2500 escort calls per semester while enhancing overall campus security through nightly patrols. The escort hotline is 440-3477. by Lt.

The entire issue became commonly know as ‘'Irangate or The Iran Scam. Some people believed President Reagan knew of the dealings. 'It was again an election year and anyone and everyone wanted to run for the presidency; some of the candidates were Vice-President George Bush(R), Senator Gary Hart(D). the Rev. Jessie Jackson(D). Rev. Pat Robertson(R), Senator Robert Dole(R), Senator Michael Dukaukis(D) and Senator Joseph Biden(D). ! i ) ! •Tension remained high in the Persian Gulf, where Iranian and Iraqi planes and ships keep shipping channels under attack. Tension increased more when naval ships (some from the Norfolk base) were sent to keep the shipping lanes safe. 'AIDS keep many homosexuals and heterosexuals in fear. Research continued, but safe sex was a major message to all for the year. AIDS education was also stressed. 'Ministers Jimmy Swaggert and Jim Bakker were shamed in front of the world as their sexual activities with prostitutes were revealed. Bakker was also accused of homosexual acts and was ousted from the PTL Ministry; Swaggert was told to resign, but said he would not. 'The Redskins took victory from the Broncos in the Superbowl, while the Twins beat the Cardinals in the World Series. 258 CLOSING CAMPUS Review •Condoms became more in supply on campus as the FIGI fraternity sponsored a safe sex program and offered a door-to-door condom service. The dorms also held safe sex programs where free condoms were given out. Other students found new uses for them such as balloons. •The Hampton Roads area has always been great for bringing in big name concert performances; this year was no different. Some of the concerts that most interested students were: Tina Turner (Break Every Rule Tour). Bon Jovi (Slippery When Wet Tour). U2 (The Joshua Tree Tour). Alabama (The Touch Tour) and Bruce Springsteen (Tunnel of Love Tour). •The Webb Center fountain was renovated three different times; the first time it became filled with green water for St. Patrick's Day and the second two times it became a fountain of bubbles after someone filled it with laundry detergent. •The widening of Hampton Blvd. to a six lane road was discussed and is planned to start in 1989. This will take up some of the area in front of the Old Dominion University sign and may even cause the sign to be removed. No plans were finalized as yet. •The university was greatly saddened when on November 7. 1987 Kristin Terreri. a freshman from Morris Plains. NJ committed suicide. A memorial service was held on Tuesday, November 17. 1987 at 4 p.m. in the Webb Center North Cafeteria. ‘Student Senate elections were fair game for accusations of illegal campaign procedures when Phillip Stanford filled a complaint with the elections board stating that Matt Harrah had misused campaign funds. The complaint was found invalid. •Football was a big issue when the administration decided ODU needed a football team. The team is scheduled to start playing in the fall of 1990. It is estimated that $800,000 will need to be generated per year, aside from student fees, to keep the program going. A new 1-AAA division was created and teams to be played are St. Johns. Dayton and Georgetown so far. •Parking decal prices increased 50% from the spring of 1987, up from $26 to $39 per semester and in fall 1988 the price will go up again to $52 per semester. The increase is going to fund new high-rise parking garages to add to existing parking spaces. CLOSING 259 0 200 400 300 Alternative A Sixteen buildings will be erected by the year 2008, according to a master development plan released early in November. The administration is trying to get an overall plan for the university,” said Pete Goldsmith, Dean of Student Life. The goal is to make a more traditional looking kind of campus.” The first phase of improvement includes the completion of a new fine arts center, two high-rise parking facilities, additions to Webb Center, a Greek housing section, an additional soccer field and additions to the Child Study Center. 260 CLOSING By the tenth year of development renovations to Chandler Hall, an addition to the library, a racquet sports center, general student housing and an alumni conference center is planned for completion. The final stage of development includes a convocation center the size of Scope and more parking facilities. by B. Roper Johnson. Johnson Roy inc Planning Landscape ArchrtectureAJrban Design Do Louw, Cathor Company Engineers and Planner CLOSING 261 Some things Changed ... Yes, change was a big part of campus life this year. Many organizations changed their image or, like SAC, their name. Other groups were new to campus in general, like The Laureate. Change definitely happened in the dorms. Second year dorm residents reported the Resident Assistants being more strict than the previous year. The campus appearance changed as planned. Construction began on the new Fine Arts Center next to Webb Center and renovations on the existing Fine Arts Building started during summer session. Other new changes included the implementation of a football team, plans for inter-collegiate volleyball, new drinking policies on campus and the new smoking policy. The most important changes occurred in each student’s life; freshman became accustomed to living away from home (or at least having to drive in heavy traffic to class every day), sophomores were glad to finish general education classes, juniors faced upper division classes and seniors made a major change that always accompanies graduation. Still other changes happened to students that will affect their life hereafter. Some decided to change their major, some decided on one; and some decided that ODU wasn’t where they should be and transferred. Some even decided to put college on hold for awhile. Smaller changes happened, but they were just as important: changes like new friends, new roommates or maybe a new look. Like always, something old gave way to something new, but that’s life. by B. Roper CLOSING 263 WEBB fountain is a poular place to study, read, relax or just enjoy the sun; in shades, Bov Clements provos just what fun in the sun is!
