But one of the most important changes that this university—and every university— brings to a student is the one that can’t be seen. This is the slow, sometimes painful process of becoming an adult, of growing up physically and emotionally maturing. This change can be brought about by anything. Living away from home for the first time is a good start. Working as an editor on a publication is another. These four years are a continuous process of growth and learning, not just about the aspects of an individual’s major, but about life and living. It can be seen in professors, always striving for a better education for students and themselves. Faculty attend conferences in their fields and participate in exchanges, as do students. It’s all a way of broadening our perceptions of the world, ourselves and each other. It is evident in freshmen, fresh out of high school and thinking all college is is a chance to get away from home, stay up late and get drunk a lot. But these same students leave PSU older, wiser and more mature. They are adults, ready to get a job, get married or move on to graduate school. Four years of studying, being responsible for themsleves and their own grades with no one to push them out of bed in the morning or tell them to go to bed at night teaches them a lot about them- selves. They learn their limits, as well as how to stretch them farther all the time. And that’s really what a change of face is all about. It is a continuing process throughout life. Four years of university life is a start, but don’t let it stop here. Change is eternal. It doesn’t stop with that degree. But change requires an open mind to help it along. In Ireland, for example, closed minds have kept sectarian violence escalating since the Middle Ages. In Iran, in the Soviet Union and in El Salvador it is the same thing. Closed minds perpetuating a system that is good to only the few. That isn’t what it is about, to us. The ideal purpose of a university is to send out fresh- minded adults—with the emphasis on adult—to change the world for the better, to put their education and their ideals to good use. A change of face is everything and forever. But all we could do is capture one year at one rather small midwestern university. The rest is up to you. Olive L.

World news hit home like never before. There was the draft registration over the summer and early fall. Students who were eligible were upset and outraged, or proud to serve their country; students who weren’t were no less upset about if. For a while it looked like a return to the sixties. But the furor died down. Then there was the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, and Carter’s plea to the world to boycott tne Moscow Olympics, In the end, American athletes didn’t go to the summer Olympics, but managed to beat the Soviet hockey team for a gold medal in the winter Olympics. National pride surged, and hockey players became heroes for a time. continued on page 6 NAMING FRISBEE one of his favorite past times, Joe Hedges spends a lot of his spare time sharpening his skills. —photo by Dot Koehler, SPRING BREAK FOUND many students basking in the sun.

A natural sculpture by Larry Wooster appeared outside the Student Union to commemorate what they had gone through, and his idea was later copied with little crosses flying green ribbons in memory of the mur- dered blacks of Atlanta. On campus, face-lifts came when Carney Hall was razed. For days, a huge wrecking ball battered down the old building, and then bulldozers and plows cleared out a barren space where the proud building once stood. With spring and the greening of grass, the site became familiar, and an old friendly building was scarcely missed. A new library was already familiar, but had no name until April. Policy changes were initiated, issues confronted. There was an increase in the student body, and a change in the parking situation that many felt was already confusing enough! Gasoline prices continued to rise, and people continued to complain, accept, and go home for the weekend. Faculty changes were made. Contract negotiations remained unsettied throughout the year, and searches for deans and chairmen continued. Departmental programs were revamped and changed, hopefully for the better. continued on page 8 HOT WEATHER BROUGHT many students outside to study for their spring semester finals.

Country and Western was the big trend in fashion and fad. Discos changed face and added bucking bulls, and any bar could be found chock-full of urban cowboys. A new building was scheduled to be built to replace Carney, and a new auditorium was in the “hopeful stage. There was a change of face in almost every aspect of campus living. People changed, programs changed. New students and faculty replaced old. There were new styles of speech and dress, new places to go, and old familiar ones. As always, there was an atmosphere of learning, gaining new knowledge, even from the past. Horror flicks replaced science fiction, and life went on in spite of it. The weather was as changeable as everything else. One day was sunny and hot, the next was cold. People lay out in swim tops and short sleeves in February, yet shivered in heavy coats in April and May. It seemed like Pittsburg State was putting on a new face almost every day.—by Olive Sullivan DISAPPOINTED BY AN unsuccessful series of downs, two time All American halfback Richard Overton gathers his thought.

Moving in and settling down occupied the first week of school, and in addition to getting back together with old friends, students made new ones. One old “friend” that some weren’t so glad to see was the university bookstore. Long lines and high prices found students complaining about empty pockets. But there was enough money left to socialize a little! Faces changed nationally as the hostages came home and President Reagan took over the White House. Closer to home were Student Senate elections in the spring. In fashions, the year started out with Country and Western as the big look, but with late fall and spring, the preppy look from the East hit the Midwest. Students still headed for the Saddlehead and Rocking K in their blue jeans and cowboy hats, however. Some things will always be the same. More students spent their spare time in front of the television as soap operas gained popularity with men and women both. They rushed home after class so as not to miss this week’s villian in an ever-changing world. It’s a university. Every year, there will be another change of face. Lnarrging faces are what campuses are all about. Every year new ones come and old ones go, but student life remains pretty much the same. There is still Homecoming in Oc- tober, Christmas break, Spring Break and beer at Hollywood's. CIRCUS, CIRCUS was the 1980 Homecoming theme.

However, most of the students here on the Pittsburg State University campus agree that discipline in this area is sometimes difficult to maintain. Attendance can be a very difficult discipline problem for incoming freshmen especially. Although at- tendance in high school was much stricter, some freshmen find it very hard to handle such leniency in this area when they get to the college level. ‘‘It’s really hard at first to make yourself go to class, especially if you live in the dorm and you don’t have someone coming in to make sure you’re out of bed in time to make your first class,” said Karen Wills, Osage City freshman. “It’s also easier to stay out later the night before because you don’t have someone sitting at home waiting up to see what time you come home,” she laughed. There are a lot of different reasons why students cut classes. After a student has been confined to a very few activities during the winter months, he is ready, willing and able to take the opportunity to go fishing or sunbathing when a bright and sunny day happens along. After all, doesn’t that sound more appealing than listening to a biology lecture on the anatomy of the amoeba? “It’s really hard sometimes to drag yourself out of bed in the morning in order to make it to an 8:30 class, 12—Cutting class SKIPPING CLASSES to study for mid-term tests is a very common practice. Rob Lessen and Kathy Merrell sip cokes and study for their American History exam in the Gorilla Grill.—photo by Dot Koehler especially if your’re active in a lot of extra-curricular activities that keep you out late the night before. The nice change in weather has a lot to do with it too,” said Jeff Poole, Overland Park junior. “I cut class every once in a while, but never to the extent that it would have any great effect on my grades. It’s just real easy to do,” Poole said. Even though cutting classes is not to the benefit of students, some feel that there would be a lot of negative student feedback if a stricter at- tendance policy was instituted by the university. “I don't see how they could put any more restrictions on class attendance because if a student doesn’t want to go to class, he won’t go. Besides, the student is the one paying fees to be here so he’s only hurting himself by cutting classes,” said Susan Speiser, Chanute junior. “I don’t think there is any way that the university can demand class attendance. Besides, the student is expected to be able to take care of himself and he shouldn’t have to have guidelines set by the school to make him go to class. He should just be expected to be there. If he’s not, it’s nobody’s fault but his own,” said Lisa Sutcliffe, also a Chanute junior. Even though students may take a dim view of class attendance, in- structors have a little different concept of it. According to Dr. Joanna Freeman, associate professor of English, at- tendance requirements differ depending upon the format of the course. “I require that students attend my Technical Writing 301 course every day because the information we cover on class days is vital to completion of the course. We write almost every day and those assignments must be completed in the class time,” she said. Brian McGuire, third year advanced auto body repair student, says- that attendance is also required in the Vocational Technical Institute. “We have real strict requirements. We’re only given five absences and even when we’re gone one hour it counts as a day. When we do have to miss we have to have it excused with a doctor’s note or something like that in order for it not to count against us,” said McGuire. Some classes have almost no at- tendance regulation at all, for example, ROTC by appointment. In this course, a student enrolls and is given a list of what the course requires in regard to assignments. The student can then complete these requirements on his own time and at any time during the semester. Even though some students take advantage of the leniency given them by the administration in regard to attending classes, some do suffer from neglecting to go to class. On the other hand, some students have disciplined themselves to such a degree that class attendance presents no problem at all. “I try to attend every class period for every course I enroll in and most of the time I do unless I’m sick or there’s just no possible way I can get there. I couldn’t make my grades if I didn’t go. Some people can but I can’t,” said Linda Butterfield, Pittsburg senior.— by Jacque Porter TAKING TIME OUT FROM the pressure and everyday routine of classes, students head to the local bars for relief from lectures.—photo by Kyle Cleveland Cutting class—13 like to get back to see friends I haven’t seen all summer,” said Karen O’Connell, Kansas City senior. Students flocked to the college bookstore to buy textbooks, and many who waited until the first week of school ended up waiting in long lines for the cashier. “I was there for almost two hours waiting to pay for my books,” said Teresa Harrell, Oswego freshman. The lines were nine miles long at the bookstore,” said Leuteritz. Various campus organizations sponsored “Welcome Week” ac- tivities during the first week of school to familiarize students with their club and with other students. The Student Union Board sponsored a plant sale, Coffeehouse concert, street dance, midnight skate, moonlight swim, glassblowing demonstration, movies and other events throughout the week. Even with the confusion and complications of the first week of school, most students were glad to be back for another year at Pittsburg State University.—by Sheri Johnson WATER FIGHTS are a good way to meet your neighbors, “face to face1’.

Anticipation, confusion, ex- citement and activities are all a part of the first week of school, and this year was no exception. Beginning around the middle of August, students began moving their belongings into the dorms and surrounding areas and preparing themselves for another school year. Some students, especially fresh- men, had mixed feelings about going to college, but most were looking forward to it. I was nervous about going to college, but I was excited about it at the same time,” said Susan Lollar, Arma freshman. “I was really looking forward to living away from home,” said Jackie Carbon, Mound City freshman. I had a sister here last year in the dorm who I stayed with a Jot, so I knew what I was getting into. It’s just like I ex- pected.” Most freshmen found that their initial fears about college were un- necessary. I found out the first week that school wasn’t going to be as bad as I first thought it was,” said Mark Farris, Oswego freshman. “I was really hyper about college at first,” said Lollar. I expected it to be super hard all the time, but it isn’t. The only difference from high school is that it’s easier to skip classes.” New students to Pittsburg State had to familiarize themselves with the campus to find out where everything was and how to get to it. Many people experienced problems finding their classrooms the first few days of school. I used the map of the campus that I got in my orientation packet,” said Farris. “I didn’t have too much trouble until I got inside the buildings. Then I’d get lost.” “The buildings weren’t hard to find, especially since most of them have the names right on the front. But finding the rooms was confusing to me,” said Lollar. Some students were faced with another problem when they finally found the room they had been looking AS THE FIRST EMPHASIS speaker of the year, political humorist Bill Alexander gave his impression of college life in a series of four one-act plays. “Is there life after college?1' was on the university crowd could identify with, —photo by Kyle Cleveland for. Some classes were moved to other rooms, sometimes even to another building. “I was 20 minutes late for my first class,” said Jerry Reeves, Altamont freshman. They had moved my class clear across campus, and I had no idea where it was.” People who were used to small high schools or community colleges had to adjust to the bigger sized classes. “It’s weird not knowing everyone in your class,” Lollar said. I knew everybody in my high school, and now I’m lucky if I know half the people in my class.” The returning students also had mixed feelings about coming back to school. “Back to school week means just that, and after a long summer, it’s a traumatic experience,” said Gary Leuteritz, Indianapolis senior. “But it also means getting back into town, seeing old friends again, and going to Hollywood’s, and that’s not so bad.” “I looked forward to coming back to school, but not because of classes. I Now semester hassle 1st week of school—15 Ealing out has its pitfalls Let’s go get something to eat!” That’s a frequent statement made by students when the munchies hit them. And fast food restaurants seem to be the favorite place to go for hungry students who want to grab something to eat. There are many fast food places in Pittsburg, and they offer a variety of food. Whatever your preference in food is, most likely there will be someplace in town that offers if. Endless hamburger spots such as McDonald’s, Burger King, Burger Shop, and Barney’s have the typical food that go along with beef sand- wiches. Other places specialize in Mexican food, such as Taco Bell and Taco Sabroso, or in chicken or fish, such as Kentucky Fried Chicken and Long John Silver’s. Most of these places have both dine in and carry out service, and some even have drive through windows for faster service. Fast service seems to be one of the main reasons that students go to fast food restaurants to eat. “When I'm hungry, I don’t want to have to wait around for my food,” said Tim Clark, Overland Park senior. “That’s why I go to McDonald’s a lot. I can just drive through and have my food in a minute without ever leaving LIGHTS ALONG THE STRIP not only provide a colorful collage, but several fast places to eat out. —photo by Kyle Cleveland the car.” “I only have an hour for lunch between classes, so I have to go someplace where I can get in and out fast,” said Jerry Armstrong, Mulvane sophomore. “I like to get off campus to eat, because I like a change of scenery, and a fast food place seems to be the logical place to go.” “I always stop at McDonald’s on my way out of town on weekends,” said Jackie Carbon, Mound City freshman. “That place is good about putting their food in containers so I can drive and eat at the same time, especially if I am in a hurry.” Another reason why fast food restaurants are so popular is that they usually mean lower prices. A person can get a full meal at most of these places for under five dollars. And students who are counting every penny they spend are willing to sacrifice the quality for the lower price. “I don’t expect their food to be as good as full service restaurants,” said Tim McCaffrey, Shawnee junior. “They don’t spend as much time preparing it, so they can’t compare with restaurants such as Jim’s Steak House that have the time and facilities to cook your dinner the right way. “They probably use cheaper ingredients too,” he added. “That’s why they can afford to charge a lower price.” But some students have found that fast food restaurants do not always go hand-in-hand with low prices. “I don’t think they are any cheaper than any other restaurants in town that offers the same type of food,” said Janet Wilson, Leoti junior. “People just think they are getting a good deal, because when they compare the menus at fast food restaurants with other places, they see lower prices. “They don’t take into consideration that most quoted prices in full service restaurants are for full meals instead of single items,” she said. “If they would add up the total items as a single price at a fast food restaurant, they would probably find that food isn’t so cheap there after all.” One of the disadvantages of fast food restaurants is the limited service from employees. “I feel like I’m watching an assembly line when I place an order,” said Kurt Pickett, Burlingame senior. “The service is very impersonal.” Regardless of the pitfalls of eating at a fast food place, most students take advantage of the many restaurants in the area for a quick meal at one time or another, and chances are that they will be in- creasing in number as the world increases in technology and the time- saving mania.—by Sheri Johnson TACO BELL IS A FAVORITE stopping place for Kathy Dody and Connie Rentz, as they share a late night meal. —photo by Dot Koehler Fas Wood—17 The scene is Follett Bookstore at Pittsburg State University. A long line of students stand waiting to return books from last semester. “What do you mean I can only get $1.25 for this book! It cost me $20 when I bought it this semester 1 shouts one angry student. Not an unusual occurence at the bookstore. Unfortunately, what students do not realize is, that most of the time it is not the fault of the bookstore that they can not get their money for returned books. Once an instructor changes books, the bookstore will not buy the old book back. “When the University was running the bookstore we used to buy back books even when the instructor was not using them anymore. We also went $17,000 in the hole one year,” said Jack Overman, Student Union director. The bookstore used to be run by the University. It is now run by Follett, but is overseen by the Student Union. “The last five years that the University ran the bookstore we went in the hole every year,” said Overman. 18—Bookstore “When Follett took over we spent several days doing inventory and found out that we had $50,000 in books that we had bought back and couldn't use,” he said. According to Overman, PSU, not Follett, sets the mark up on books. So if anyone is ripping the students off, it is the University. One example of this is the Applied Grammar book which was written by William Duffy, associate professor of English, and is printed by the PSU duplication department. “The manual is mine. We used to have it duplicated by the English department and I gave it free to the students. The time came when we were no longer able to do that so I went to Dr. Baird and told him I felt the students would be happy to pay for the cost of having it duplicated ' said Duffy. According to Duffy, the original cost of the manual was around $2. “The purpose was to provide the students with a better quality outline at a minimal cost. Neither duplicating or the University were supposed to make kidding a profit,” Duffy said. This year the cost of the manual was $9.15. After students complained, Duffy began investigating the costs. Overman got a breakdown of the exact costs from duplicating: Printing 3375 copies with 135 originals $87.75; Collating material $16.87; Punching three holes $13.50; Shrink wrapping $19 for a total of $137.12. The books were then priced ac- cordingly: $137,12 divided by 25 copies came to $5.49 per copy; 20 per cent markup from selling price $1.37; three ring notebook binder $2.29 which came to a total of $9.15 per copy. THE LINES NEVER SEEM TO END at the end of the semester when students waif in lines to sell back books.

After investigating the costs, it was found that each student who bought the Applied Grammar manual could receive a 76 cent refund because the manuals were not shrink wrapped. According to Overman, the bookstore is blamed for books that come in late when actually it is often the fault of the instructor because they don’t turn in their orders soon enough. “We also have problems with estimations. We have $8,848 tied up in books that are setting on the shelves because the psychology department ordered more books than they have students enrolled. At 15 per cent interest that costs the bookstore a lot of money,” he said. Overman also said that students get upset because they don’t understand the bookstore’s policy for buying back used books. According to Verlen Kresin, director of the University bookstore, a student is paid half of the list price of a book when it is returned for re-sale. The book is marked up 25 per cent above the buy-back price for re-sale as a used book. This pricing policy continues until the book has been resold three times; at that time the book remains at the last used book sale price. Kresin said that the bookstore actually makes more money on used books and would prefer to sell them rather than new ones and does make them readily available. Overman said that the only reason the bookstore won’t buy back a book if it is still being used by the in- structor is if the bookstore already has the number of books the in- structor has said he will need the following semester. Although it may seem to students that the bookstore is making a killing, in actuality they are not. Books are susceptible to inflation too.— by Janet Stites AT THE BOOK RETURN TABLE, Jeff Cook waits while Verlen Kresin checks the master ' A to see if his books can be bought back.— photo by Kyle Cleveland WAITING IN LONG LINES, students usually wait for hours to sell back books. Con- sequently, they will receive half the price they paid or find the book won’t be bought back at all. —photo by Kyle Cleveland The toxic threat remains The Toxic Shock Syndrome has recently exploded in the eyes of the American public as a threat to life. In the past year, the medical world has shed a little more light on Toxic Shock, a disease now believed to be at least partially caused by the use of tampons. According to Mayo Clinic Proceedings, a professional medical journal, symptoms of the disease are characterized by a very brief illness consisting of high fever, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, irritability, confusion, sore throat, abdominal tenderness, a decrease in blood pressure, skin rash and intravascular blood clotting. According to an article in the Sunday, Jan. 11 issue of The Kansas City Star, Dr. Roy Garrison, a Kansas City pediatrician, was the first to link the disease to the use of Rely tam- pons, several months before it gained national publicity. After submitting his findings to the United States Center for Disease Control in Atlanta, and after the center completed compiling the needed data to support Dr. Garrison's theory, they announced on Sept. 17, 1980, that more than 70 percent of syndrome victims were users of Rely. However, Dr. Garrison's theory was questionable because it was found that TSS had affected some men also. Dr. Garrison then shared his curiosity of the disease with Dr. Damon Mountford, a Kansas City family practitioner that had treated a 15-year-old girl from Kansas City for the syndrome who had almost died. The girl had returned home from a party early in March, 1980, thinking she had the flu. Within three days she was admitted to the intensive care unit at Kansas City’s Baptist Memorial Hospital with extensive dehydration, extremely low blood pressure and a temperature that had soared to 106.4. The girl spent six out of 10 days in the hospital in intensive care suf- Artwork provided by Rosemary Hessman fering from various hallucinations, chills and a skin disorder that caused “hunks of flesh to fall from her fingers and toes. Physicians administered a drug called Dopamine in order to bring her blood pressure to a level high enough to move the blood around in her body and keep her alive. According to physicians, she recovered as suddenly as she became ill. In the weeks following, her vision was blurred and nine months later she was weaker and tired more easily. Dr. Mountford had diagnosed her condition as a toxic shock, which can result from various bacteria or viruses. Her mother said that she was not convinced that tampons were the cause of what had happened to her daughter. She was using Playtex at the time her illness occurred and continues to use tampons but has switched brands. According to the article, among Toxic Shock victims who used only one tampon brand, 19 percent used Playtex compared with 71 percent who used Rely. However, in another group of women who did not have toxic shock syndrome, 25 percent use Playtex and 26 percent used Rely. In the Pittsburg area, one case was reported last year in which the vic- tim’s symptoms were similar to those of TSS. However, after she was sent to Kansas City for further examination, it was found that her illness was due to a pleural pneumonia-like organism and was more respiratory-oriented than TSS, according to Kathy Nucifora, one of Mt. Carmel's medical technologists. Due to the fact that the company distributing Rely tampons re-called the product from business shelves, Burton Crowell, manager of Crowell Drug, said that his store's sales in all brands of tampons had decreased. “There has definitely been a noticeable decrease in our tampon sales, and I’m sure it’s because of doubts women have about Toxic Shock. Needless to say, our feminine napkin sales have increased, said Crowell. “Our tampon sales have decreased on all of our brands and we're selling more of the feminine napkins, said Robert Cook, Wal-Mart manager. According to Andrew Bailey, manager of Scotties, he hasn't noticed a change in sales. “We took Rely off the shelf when the brand was re-called but there hasn’t been any drop in the sale of our other brands. However, our feminine napkin sales have risen, said Bailey. Verlen Kresin, Pittsburg State University Bookstore manager, said, We took Rely off the shelves after the re-call but there’s been no significant drop in the sales of our other brands but, we don’t really sell that many either because they’re really more of a ‘convenient’ item here. Girls will, more than likely, buy them at drugstores where they are less expensive unless they just happen to be here, said Kresin. In a bulletin published by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists in November, 1980, the college recommends that, in general, women need not stop using tampons; however, it would be prudent, at present, to discontinue the use of the newly-developed super- absorbent tampons until more conclusive scientific research has been conducted. To reduce the possible risk of tampon use even further, the college advises women to alternate tampons with feminine napkins, and if, while using tampons, a women experiences such symptoms as high fever, vomiting, diarrhea, or a sunburn-like rash, she should discontinue using tampons and consult a physician immediately. The threat that TSS has presented has definitely influenced many of the younger girls at PSU in their decision of whether to continue using tam- pons. “I never really used Rely, but I did use tampons until I found out about Toxic Shock. Now I don't use them anymore, said Lori Mendenhall, Pittsburg freshman. “I used only Rely until everything came up about Toxic Shock. Now I don’t use any tampon brand, said Lisa Miller, Pittsburg sophomore. Susie Cope, Pittsburg freshman, and Connie Rentz, Paola senior, said that they didn't ever use Rely, but were tampon users. Neither has discontinued doing so since no definite information is available as to whether or not tampons are the cause of TSS. Although scientists and physicians have discovered substantial evidence to support the cause of TSS in theory, the disease has not yet been com- pletely conquered and its threat remains. —by Jacque Porter Toxic Shock—21 Summer scene hit by heat wave Oummer is a time for swimming, softball and in general just soaking up the sun. But this summer there was quite a bit more sun to soak up than usual. In fact, a little too much. The summer 1980 heat wave in Kansas ranks in the top three of the nation July had temperatures above 100 every day except July 2, Only in 1936 and in 1954 has it been as hot as it was this summer. The hottest day recorded was in mid-July when the mercury shot up to the 108 degree mark. Although the previous record summers hit a hotter mark of 114 degrees both years, conditions were worse this summer. Very little rain fell. Kansas received only 11,69 inches of rain last summer, which is the smallest amount in 11 years. Many of the local pools had to put ice in the pool to make them com- fortable, many people suffered heat stroke and dehydration, and many elderly people died from the unusally high temperatures. Inspite of the heat wave, PSU continued to offer a wide range of activities. Pittsburg State University’s Playhouse on Broadway produced a number of popular shows. The musical production of “Sweet Charity” drew largely adult audiences, while the production of “Dracula” drew large audiences of young people and college students, “The Wizard of Oz,” the summer’s major production, attracted the largest crowds and the performers had the opportunity to play a packed house during its run. “Oz” had the largest cast of university and com- munity actors ever put on stage by the PSU summer production com- pany. As the summer heated up so did the negotiations between the PSU Ad- ministration and the Kansas Higher Education Association, which represents the PSU faculty. The contract talks and negotiation committees met, held discussions, and made proposals and coun- terproposals with no end in sight. The summer proved unproductive and the problem continued into the Fall ’80 semester. While the faculty and administration negotiations heated up, students cooled off at the ever popular strip pits, Whitmore, better known as Quincy pits, has traditionally been IN PREPARATION FOR HER ROLE, Kelly Waldo applies makeup back stage between scenes at Playhouse on Broadway’s production of Dracula. —photo by Kyle Cleveland the most popular watering hole of all the surrounding pits. The pits provided a cool place to spend those hot days only if you could find the time. However, the 2,400 students that attended PSU last summer found that things seemed to move slower. Many bodies could be seen laying under one of the numerous shadetrees on the Oval. There were of course the ever present frisbee throwers defying the heat and to some defying normal sanity. Others, less inclined to heatstroke, spent as much timeas possible in air- conditioned buildings playing such things as ping pong. The heat even seemed to slow down the preparations for the demolition of Carney Hall. Most of the work on the condemned building took the form of transporting salvageable contents. Summer also gives prospective new students an opportunity to learn more about PSU during Freshmen Previews run by the admissions department. The purpose of these Previews are to help freshmen with the transition to university life and explain the educational opportunities available to them at PSU. Education continues even through the heat of the summer. “Summer to me on campus is really enjoyable. It gives me a chance to take classes that during a regular term would be a lot larger and probably harder. It’s also a good time to catch up on credits I’m going to need to graduate. Besides, although I’d rather be somewhere else when I’m in class, the short term makes it easier,” explained Nila Siedel, Pratt senior.

As people began arriving, an- ticipation grew. More and more people crowded in, to the amazement and delight of the concert co- sponsors SUB and KMRJ-KSEK, Latecomers found themselves standing in the back of the ballroom or sitting on the floor right in front of the stage. Throughout the evening, people milled around, looking un- successfully for somewhere to sit. Mike Sullivan, SUB director, said that they were within 30 people of a sell-out crowd, but it would have slap been hard to envision fitting even 10 more people in the Tower that Friday night. The concert was delayed for a half hour due to a grass fire in the south parking lot which blew up one car, belonging to Secret’s lead singer Brent Hoad, and damaged the engine of another. It created some ex- citement as members of the audience rushed out to make sure their car was not the one. At last, Secrets took the stage shouting “We are Secrets; let’s rock!” Hoad, dressed in black shirt, jeans, and white tennis shoes, burst into their first song, “She’s Alright to Me,” and the band kept right on rocking to the end of the set. Their driving rhyth- m got hands to clapping and feet to tapping. Some people found themselves enjoying the Secrets more than the main attraction. One student commented, I’ve heard that Shooting Star is good, but Secrets is the band to watch.” They made good the promise. Hoad took command of the stage with impulsive movements, hard guitar playing, and vocals that sometimes resembled Bruce ROCKING THE NIGHT AWAY with one of their many hits, Van McLain sings lead as Charles Waltz and Gary West back him up.— photo by Dot Koehler 24—Shooting Star Springsteen, He shared the spotlight with guitarist Steve Davis. During numbers such as So You Want to Be a Rock and Roil Star, the audience went into an uproar as Davis used the microphone stand to fret his guitar, and made it sound like different instruments by switching hand positions. At times the two guitarists bent toward each other, playing hard driving rock, and almost challenging each other to do their best. Bass player Norman Dahlor helped out on vocals for some songs. Hoad played keyboards for some songs, including a cut of the album, “Homegrown,” number one on the charts in Kansas City for a few weeks before Christmas. Most of the band’s numbers were originals, such as “Sqeeze Me Back in Your Life” and Wanna Get Ver- tical.” Pat Tomek’s drum solo fascinated the crowd, as he ended by throwing a drum stick across the stage. Hoad, playing the keyboards, yelled out, “You guys are a noisy bunch.” To the answering yell from the crowd, he called, I love it!” The applause after the final number, Devil With a Blue Dress On,” brought the band back for two en- cores. The crowd stomped and clapped for the first return, and the roar was almost deafening as Hoad called, You guys are tremendous. Thank you!” At the second return, he yelled, Get out of your chairs and raise hell!” He followed his own advice, jumping up on the keyboard and finishing up with grandstand theatricals. They finally left the stage at a quarter till 10, as a girl in the front row grabbed at their legs. Hoad commented, We like playing to audiences just like this. When the crowd looks like they’re having a good time, it gets the band rocking.” His comment was echoed by Charles Waltz, blond keyboard player of Shooting Star. He said, I’ve been kind of down and out all day, kinda had the blues. Once we got on stage, the crowd was going nuts, and it really picked me up.” Due to technical problems with the lights before their set, they started playing at about 10:30, to an audience that was really fired up. Friends had been conversing in a low roar, and looking unsuccessfully for a seat, when suddenly the lights went out. Lights flashed on a rotating mirror ball, sending rays of light darting about the room, as an old Walt Disney recording of “When You Wish Upon A Star” played on stage. Suddenly the stage broke into light and sound as the powerful six man band started off with Don’t Stop Now,” a cut from their first album. Before the end of the song, the crowd was on its feet, immersed in the music of Shooting Star. The next number, You’ve Got What i Need,” emphasized the keyboard playing of Charles Waltz and Bill Guffey. Songwriters Van McLain and Gary West led with strong, weil-blended vocals. McLain played fierce guitar solos directly to the people crowding the stage, to the enthusiastic response of people ready to GET DOWN. West switched from guitar to piano to accompany his vocals. The lights went down again, and gradually keyboard music built up.

Throughout the concert, he switched from violin to piano, adding vocals when needed. As he got into the music, his black-and-white striped jacket came off, revealing a bright yellow shirt. Drummer Steve Thomas and Ron Verlin, bassist, provided an important part of Shooting Star’s sound, but the flamboyant antics of the others overshadowed their contributions. Shooting Star has been a group as it is now for two and a half years, Waltz said. He was one of the last members to join the current band. Waltz said, “The only problem with people dancing (in the aisles) is that we’re not really a dance band. For us it’s more fun when it’s crowded and people focus on us.” He got his wish that Friday night. When Sullivan told McLain that they were 30 short of a sell-out, the musician laughed and commented, How could you pack any more in here?” McLain summed up the evening for everyone, from the bands to the audience, to concert sponsors. “We had a great turn-out!” he said.—by Olive Sullivan Shooting Star—25 Students support themselves Attending college is expensive these days, and students who don’t get financial backing from their parents have to depend on grants, loans, or their personal income to make it through. Some students support themselves through school by having a full or part-time job on the side. “I didn’t want to take out any loans with the school and have to owe money,” said Jody Ewers, Baxter Springs junior. “So I got a part-time job as handyman for Bentner Realty here in town. I’ve worked there for two years now.” “I received a grant from the school, but it didn’t go very far,” said Randy Maggard, Baxter Springs sophomore. “I have to work to make ends meet.” The main problem that students have to deal with while working their way through school is budgeting their time in order to get their studies done. Maggard works about 20 hours a week as a cook at Ken’s Pizza. This obviously cuts down on time he has to spend on schoolwork, but he has been able to adjust to it. “Now I’m used to working and going to school at the same time,” he said. “I learned how to spend my time so I can get everything done.” Working also has the habit of cutting into personal time students normally use for socializing and other activities. “Sure it cuts into my social life,” Maggard said. “I go straight from school to work, and by the time I get off work, I have to go home and study for the next day. I never get to go out during the week.” Ewers agreed. “Sometimes I feel like I have no social life because I work so much. Between 15 hours of classes and working anywhere from 20 to 35 hours a week, I don’t have time for anything else but studying and sleeping.” However, this doesn’t mean that these students live a life of all work IN ADDITION TO FINISHING up his elec- tronical technology curriculum, Dale McAtee holds two jobs.

Most of them still manage to find time to relax sometime during the week, perhaps on weekends. “I still play soccer every weekend like I have for the past four years,” Maggard said. “It’s not that bad, really.” A job and school related activities can sometimes conflict, which may cause problems. But most of the employers in Pittsburg seem to be conscious of the fact that students have many demands on their time. “My boss is pretty understanding,” Maggard said. “Practically his entire staff is composed of college students, and he realizes that they all need time off for one reason or another at various times throughout the year. I usually don’t have much trouble getting off work for Student Senate meetings or anything like that. He will just rearrange his work schedule.” “I just go to work when I get out of class or have some free time,” Ewers said. “My supervisor doesn’t care when I do my job, as long as it gets done.” One complication of working while in school occurs wnen students have to schedule their classes. They must plan their classes around their job schedule, which usually involves trying to schedule their classes in succession, with afternoons free. “That is why I could only take 12 hours this semester,” Maggard said. “All the other classes I needed were offered at odd times which did not coincide with my work schedule. I guess I’ll try to take them next year.” When work study funds ran out in March, a great number of students began searching Pittsburg for jobs, although few positions could be found. “The competition for jobs is a lot stiffer now,” Maggard said. “It really makes me appreciate the job I’ve got.” With the current economy forcing universities to cut back on the amount of loans and grants issued, even more students will be out next year looking for jobs to work their way through school.— by Sheri Johnson SERVICE WITH A SMILE comes easy for Glen Luedke because he enjoys his job at Ken's Pizza. —photo by Bill Holtom Working through school—27 Meet me mi Hollywood's One of the main highlights of the nightlife in Pittsburg is the variety of bars in the area. There are many bars in town and the surrounding vicinity which offer a diversity of atmospheres and groups of people. The bars are considered by some to be a vital part of the University’s social aspect, because many students frequent them. Among them are some smaller bars that many of the locals frequent, such as Hollywood’s, Three-Eleven Club, Danny’s Bar in Chicopee, and Kenny and Louie’s in Frontenac. “I like to go to Three-Eleven because the group I used to run around with in high school goes there a lot,” said Jacque Porter, Pittsburg sophomore. “The bar has a friendly atmosphere. It’s also about the only bar in town that sells beer in quarts. GOIN’ FOR THE BULL’S EYE at Hollywoods, Brett Holtom says, ‘ Concentration is the Key to a successful game.'—photo by Bill Holtom “It’s a relaxing place to go, because there isn’t loud music blaring there, only a jukebox. At Three-Eleven I can relax, drink beer, and play pool,” she said. “When I go to Three-Eleven, I usually know almost everyone in there,” said Becky Gray, Pittsburg junior. “There’s a lot of local yokels in there,” added Janet Stites, St. John junior. Danny’s Bar takes a drive to reach, but the sound is pure country- western once you get there. A live band often performs, especially on weekends, and people of all ages go out there fora night of swing-dancing and fun. “It’s a real down-home bar,” said Susie Cope, Pittsburg sophomore. ”1 go out there a lot on afternoons with a DID YOU SEE THAT PLAY? Lee Nelson points with excitement as Lisa Farrell smiles about her score over Allison Jones in a game of electronic football at Hollywoods.—photo by Bill Holtom bunch of friends and play pool.” The country-western scene seems to be taking over as the new fad in music, and the affects are visible in Pittsburg. This shift in musical taste could have been the reason that Good Times Disco closed down in November following a year-long struggle to get off the ground. Some bars which had originally been disco bars have changed to the C W look, such as Paw Paw’s Dinner Club and the Rocking K. Paw Paw’s used to be a private disco, but changed its format over a year ago when members began requesting more rock n’ roll and country-western songs. Now it plays mostly country-western, and cowboy boots and hats have replaced satin pants and flashy shirts. The Rocking K was known a year ago as the Schoolhouse Disco. A mechanical bull has been added to the bar now and the flashing strobe lights discarded.

However, with the increasing price of gas, some students would prefer to go to a country-western bar closer to home, so for them there is Sad- dlehead Saloon, which opened this past year. Saddlehead’s also has a mechanical bull for volunteers willing to pay $2, sign a medical release, and try to ride the contraption for eight seconds. The bull can be set for different speeds, depending on the expertise of the rider, and males and females alike mount the machine for the challenge or on a dare. I was really embarrassed the first time I rode it, because I was afraid I would fall off, but it wasn’t as hard as I had thought,” said Stites. “I don't think it’s as hard to ride as a live bull would be. Actually, I think it’s pretty fun,” The bar often conducts riding contests on weekends, Each con- testant is judged on his spurring and continued on page 30 Student bars—29 Meet riding performance, and prizes are given to the winners. There are also live bands that oc- casionally perform at Saddlehead’s. Then the employees move the bull and accompanying mattresses out of the way so urban cowboys and their dates can dance to some foot stompin’ music. Another country-western bar in town is the Triple R. It is a private 21 club that features live bands and dancers, but is not as popular for students as some of the other C W bars. One rock-and-roll oriented bar opened up at the beginning of the school year, Cockrobin’s Castle. The bar featured live bands each week and was fairly close to campus. But the place shut down after just two months. “We just had too much competition from the new country bars, I guess,” said Kevin Sargent, Overland Park sophomore and former employee of the bar. For those students who prefer the fast-paced disco sound and dances and are over 21, the Boardwalk Supper Club is still around, although its popularity seems to have diminished since the growth of the new country-western bars. However, even the Boardwalk has somewhat softened its emphasis on disco and plays more diverse styles of music. “The Boardwalk has an established clientele which will always go there,” said Mike Ray, owner of the club. “The place has become a tradition, especially for many local people.” These two places cater more to the older crowd though, and few students attend with regularity. But the old reliable traditional bars are always around, the rocks of the University social community; Washingtons Cigar Store and Hollywoods. Washingtons is more of a day bar since its hours are 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. The bar is a long room with books, magazines, and smoking materials offered on one end, and a pool table and bar on the other end. The bar opened 80 or 85 years ago by a couple named Washington, at the corner of Fourth Street and Broadway in a wood frame building. Charlie O’Connell worked in Washingtons for 19 years before AS THE POINTS RACK UP on the pin-ball machine, Dan Sammons plays doubles with Dick Wheeler.—photo by Bill Holtom AS MUSIC BLARES in the background Kurt Bever blocks out the noise as he tries to hear the conversation on the other end of the line. —photo by Bill Holtom becoming owner of it 16 years ago. “I enjoy working up here,” said O’Connell. “I work here in the mor- ning, and let my other employees run the bar later on, but I stick around until it closes. I’m not ready to turn Washingtons over to anyone for a while.” Local clientele, usually older people, comprise Washington’s morning and early afternoon crowd. But later in the day, the college students begin drifting in, and on Friday afternoons, the bar is packed with students and locals celebrating the end of the week. “Our biggest draw is on Friday,” said O’Connell. “You can find all types of people here then.” “It’s a tradition to come up here on Friday afternoons,” said Scott O’Dell, Liberty senior. “Almost everyone I know comes up here after classes on Friday to socialize, drink beer, and find out what’s going on that night.” “I like the ice-cold draws and seeing all my friends up here on Fridays,” said Dana Marshall, Prairie Village junior. Probably the most popular bar for Pittsburg State University students is located right across the street from campus; Hollywoods. Hollywoods has an atmosphere all its own, and seems to be the social center of the University. 30—Student bars “I like seeing friends here,” said Gareth Waltrip, Pittsburg freshman. “I also like the games they have in their recreation room.” “Hollywoods is in a great location,” said Otto Stuber, Wichita senior. ”1 can run over between classes and down a beer. “Sometimes, though, I just like to come over and watch people,” he said. Besides the close proximity of the bar, another advantage Hollywoods has is its weekly specials, such as Wednesday’s drink-and-drown, and Friday’s T.G.t.F. quarter draw special. “I come over here every Friday for T.G.I.F’ing,” said Tim Dooley, Peoria, III., senior. “The week is over, the weekend is ahead, and I have to celebrate.” Mike Sittner has owned Hollywoods for the past three-and-a-half years. He believes, however, that the key to the success of his bar is its clientele. “Sure, Hollywoods is in a great location, but it still wouldn’t be what it is if it weren’t for the clientele,” he said. “I believe the football team sets the stage for college life, especially if they’re winning. They are the leaders of the community in their own way, and many of them come here often. “I’m here to serve the students and the community,” Sittner said. “I run a clean place, a compromising place. I want to bring people together and make them feel like a big family.” “The Pittsburg Rugby Club has its organizational and recruiting meetings at Hollywoods every semester,” said Gary Leuteritz, In- dianapolis, Ind., senior and president of the rugby club. “On other nights, the team will go to drink beer, sing songs, and entertain the other people at the bar,” he said. “After all, it’s the rugby team that usually provides the entertainment for the college crowd at bars. Since Hollywoods is a social institution, we must put in an appearance there.” After Hollywoods closes for the night, the college crowd moves down to the Elks Club, especially on weekend nights. Although the Elks Club is con- sidered to be a private club, all anyone entering needs to do is to sign the guest book at the entrance and be declared a “guest of the Elks” for the night. However, it helps if a student is 21 or he may be carded when he tries to order drinks. “The Elks is a nice place to go and relax with a drink when you’ve been out partying all night,” said John Chaney, Lawrence junior. “It has a mellow atmosphere so you can wind down after a long day.” With this variety of bars, each having distinctive clientele and at- mospheres, it is no small wonder that they seem to be the center of the social life of the students at Pitt- POOL IS A POPULAR SPORT in any bar, especially Hollywood’s.

He said that the busses could be linked to future plans for more ex- pansion on the east side of the campus, but that it is too early to tell. The busses run everyday, with one running on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and both operating on Tuesday and Thursday, when the student traffic is heaviest. Unlike most regular classes, science labs are usually held on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. Are students taking advantage of this service? Nokes said that between Sept. 8-12, 1,261 rode it. Weather machines transport students Winters, even in Southeast Kansas, can be very cold. Pittsburg State University can make it seem even colder for chemistry, biology, and other science students by building a science annex a full nine-tenth’s of a mile from the main campus. Students going from Russ Hall all the way out to the Rouse Street annex would surely freeze on the coldest days, or at least be late for classes. The PSU weather machine came up with a solution, though: busses. For $46,000, two brand new Bluebird busses were purchased to carry students quickly and warmly to their scientific endeavors, with stops at the nursing center and Weede Gymnasium. Kansas Truck Equipment Company of Wichita supplied the vehicles. “The busses were purchased with the specific routing to the annex in mind until the Carney Hall replacement building is built,” said Larry Nokes, director of the Physical Plant, who is responsible for the operation of the busses. Busses load in front of Yates Hall on Joplin Street five minutes after each class. The round trip to the annex takes about five minutes. Students coming and going to Russ 32—Bus service “I would imagine the number will increase when we get into harsher weather and more students start taking advantage of the stops at McPherson Hall and Weede,” said Nokes. Forty-four students can ride sitting down in each bus. “We have the special hand grabbers so they can ride in the aisles, too. Fifty is the most that we have had ride the bus at one time so far. I would imagine 60 could get on with little trouble,” said Nokes. Bright yellow and orange paint jobs make the busses very noticable as they drive around campus. They are noticed by students, other pedestrians, and other vehicles. Hitting something that bright would be an embarrassment, to say the least. They are not equipped, however, with any stop signs or red lights that normal school busses are required to have. So, according to Nokes, they cannot “run over the road” as a normal school bus can. The two bus drivers, Eddy Craddock and Michael Howard, both of the Physical Plant, take weekly turns driving the single-ton bus on Mon- days, Wednesdays, and Fridays. On their off days they do other tasks, such as mowing or repairing things around campus. At this time, the busses either get maintenance work or get left alone. “It’s too premature to know operating expenses. We’ve estimated it will cost $7,800 for both each year to pay for everything associated with their operation.” Some minor problems marked the first few weeks of their operation. According to Nokes, a sticky door was the worst offender. “We had some problems at the beginning of the year, but the warranties will cover that kind of expense, said Nokes. Fluctuating gas prices will, of course, have a lot to do with the overall costs of operating the busses. Weather machines can take many forms. They can be science annexes, they can be busses, they can even be clothes. Many students are thankful this winter for the weather machine in the form of a bus. They may not be so thankful this summer, because these weather machines aren’t air- conditioned.—by Chris Bohling BUSSING THE ROUND TRIP TOUR en route to their next class are Karen Harnish and Angela Selmon. as Marie Nicholson returns back to Yates Hall —photo by Dot Koehler RIDING TO THE SCIENCE ANNEX may be crowded sometimes, but it sure beats walking. —photo by Dot Koehler Bus service—33 Parking and those little yellow boxes TIL GET IT in there yet ' might be the thought of James Arnote as he tries to parallel park his car in front of Russ Hail, —photo by Brenda Collins Every student, faculty member, administrator, or visitor at Pittsburg State University has probably, at some time during their affiliation, become aware of parking fines There are small yellow boxes at- tached to a number of parking meters throughout the campus to be used for depositing the 50 cent and $2 payments of fines. The money is put in those boxes, but where does it go from there? During the fiscal year of July 1979- July 1980, PSU Campus Security received $17,236 from permit sales, $28,170.87 in fine collections, and approximately $1,110 from meters, according to Lt. Howard Herring, assistant director of Campus Security. Campus Security has an expenditure account and a reserve account, each funded only by these collections. Each year the state legislature puts a lid on the expenditure account. This sets a limit on how much may be spent on rehabilitating PSU parking facilities by painting, replacement of various signs, and asphalt patching. A limit of approximately $58,000 was set for the 1979-80 fiscal year. Campus Security collected only $46,516.87. If more money is needed for expenditures than is collected, the difference may be taken from the reserve account. What money is collected over the expenditure lid is put into the reserve fund for the next year. “Our objective is to continuously build up our reserve account to allow for large expenditures in the future, such as building new parking lots which could cost up to $50,000 and major repaving of old lots. For example, the brown zone behind the stadium could run into the neigh- borhood of $20,000. “One major expenditure we’ve had this year is the change to a new UPON FINDING HER BATTERIES DEAD, Dee Wilson receives help from Dale Smith, a Campus Security officer and his jumper cables. Wilson left her lights on.—photo by Kyle Cleveland 34—Parking situations permit zone system,” Herring said. “We've changed from lettered zones to color-coded zones. We spent approximately $3,000 on painting and new signs and about $3,000 on new permits. “In the past, the physical plant has funded parking expenditures from their operating budget, and the parking fund has not been used. We have been asked to start taking these expenses from the parking account, which is going to add to the slow depletion of our reserve account. “Last spring I presented a proposal to Student Senate asking for an in- crease in parking permits to make up for these expenses. The proposal was denied,” Herring added. “We have to look toward the future and we have to save for it. Right now, we don’t have the money in our ac- count to finance any major parking projects that we may need in coming years. I would venture to say that in the past we have had up to around $1,000,000 in our reserve account,” said Herring. PSU parking fines and permit costs are actually very low when compared with other state universities. Permit prices range from $6 to $20. Fines begin at 50 cents for meter overtime and continue up to $2 for permit violations. Cars are sometimes towed, but only in the case of an emergency. Herring said that fines for cars with illegal registration or illegal han- dicapped parking at the University of Kansas are $5 plus tow. Meter fines are $1. At Kansas State University, the fine for no permit is $15, no registration is $25, and illegal parking in a han- dicapped zone is $25, plus tow. Emporia State University’s fine for no permit is $10, no registration, $25, and all other violations are $5. “All cars using parking facilities here at PSU must first be registered, which is free. There is a fee for permits which varies according to locations of different zones. Motorcycles have to be registered but they do not require a permit for there are designated areas for them off the streets. They can be ticketed for parking in a parking space,” Herring said. “We do sell more permits than we have parking spaces but only a smalt SOMEONE IS IN FOR A SURPRISE as David Dubray, Campus Security offical, issues a parking violation ticket in the red zone behind Gibson Dining Hatl. —photo by Kreg Cox percentage. This is due to the fact that not everyone with a permit for a particular zone is on the campus at the same time and there are people coming and going ail the time,” said Herring. What can you do when you receive a ticket? There are two different op- tions: pay the fine or fight it. Parking tickets are printed on an envelope. Fine payments can be put into the envelope and mailed, deposited in the yellow boxes or paid at the Campus Security office. For each week the ticket is not paid, the fine increases by 50 cents. There is also an appeals board to which you may appear and present your case, or write. This board is made up of three faculty members and three students who evaluate the case then present their decision, along with the reason for their conclusion. Herring said that it takes ap- proximately one month to receive notice from the appeals board on a decision. When a ticket is appealed, the fine is frozen and does not ac- cumulate. Appealing a ticket is time consuming and can be un- productive. To avoid this, simply drop your money in one of those little yellow boxes.—by Jacque Porter UNSURE OF THE PARKING RULES, Kevin Haydan inquires about parking regulations by talking to Stacey Fitchner at the Parking Registration Office.— photo by Kyle Cleveland One of the big luxuries of student life is getting up in the morning. That's right —getting up. Most students moan and groan at the thought, due to late nights, studying or partying. But when you think about it, it’s not as bad as getting up every day to go to a 9 to 5 job at the office, or hauling garbage, or anything else. At least a college student has the freedom to choose classes that will allow him to sleep as lateas possible. And even if it’s a required course, only open at 8:30, one can always skip class at least three times. Some students are more disciplined than others, however. One girl might decide to take an 8:30 MWF, thinking surely she can get up three days a week, only to find herself leaping out of bed and resetting the alarm. Her new regime of early mornings fails before even getting off the ground. Every day she sets her alarm for 7 a.m. And every day she shuts off her alarm for five more minutes of sleep. And there are always those days that the five minutes stretch to 10, or 30, or even a skipped class; or two. Students who have a loyal roommate or live at home have it a little easier. You have the added assurance of knowing that your roomie will be up on time, or that your father is going to stick his head through the door at a quarter till eight to yell, ‘Get up, you’ll be late to class!’ Awkward times only occur when the roomie is counting on you to get him up! Students in the dorms don’t have any problems getting up, whether they want to or not. Not only do they have helpful residents keeping them up till 2 a.m. singing, there is always some smart aleck on the floor who is running up and down the halls yelling, at 7 a.m. This isn’t so bad if you want to get up at 7, but what if you were one of the ones up yelling at two the night before? Jim Abshire, Pittsburg senior, usually goes out with his girl friend and gets in about midnight. He sets his clock for an hour and a half before his first class. Abshire keeps his alarm clock in the next room of his PREPARING FOR CLASS is a big part of getting up in the morning.

He said he shuts it off, then lays back down for a few minutes to finish waking up. “I lay there for about five or 10 minutes, just to sort of get the blood going,” he said. Then, he takes a long, leisurely shower. Next, he wanders around the house, reads, or listens to the radio. The idea, he said, is to start the day off as peacefully as possible. “IF THERE’S ANYTHING I HATE, it’s to wake up and have to be some place right then!” Abshire added. “The morning routine is designed to make me as calm and comfortable to begin with so I can go through the day and deal with all the ‘crisis’ I’ve got to deal with. “Actually, getting up is very im- portant to me,” he said. It sets the tone for his whole day. Abshire said if he can start the day relaxed, he can stay that way, or easily regain the mood after classes. But, he said, if the day starts out hectically and he hasn’t had time to relax, he isn’t able to readjust after it’s all over. It puts him in a bad mood for the day. “The whole idea is just to have as relaxed and enjoyable time as possible. After that I have to face the day, so I sort of reward myself ahead of time, and I don’t feel run ragged all day.” Abshire said he gets dressed right before he has to, often plowing through dirty clothes to find what he wants to wear. He gathers the necessary books, usually sitting out from studying the night before, and walks to class. Abshire lives in Gaslight Apartments on South Broadway, so the walk is just long enough to be pleasant. “There are times when I’m late to class, but I never, ever worry about it. I generally like to take my time doing anything. Walking is part of the relaxing process. I don’t like to be rushed unless I have to be,” he said. Abshire said that if he gets up in this manner, taking it slow and easy, he finds that he has a lot more energy with which to face the day. It may sound odd to many students, but Abshire added, “Getting up is something I really look forward to. There are times I want to sleep, but if I can look forward to getting up, it’s really a pleasant experience!” Another view of morning life is that of Ramona Lintner, Wellsville sophomore. She lives in Quincy Apartments, and also walks to school. She sets her alarm for 6:30, continued on page 38 EATING BREAKFAST, at the Student Union dining hall, two students discuss the morning news, —photo by Kyle Cleveland Getting Up—37 Time she said, and almost always gets up immediately, “First thing I wash my face, always 1 she said. Then, she brushes her teeth, and curls and fixes her hair. She and her roommate take turns in the bathroom. First one will go in, while the other dresses, and they trade off. Lintner said she then has a bowl of cereal. She has already had her coffee while getting dressed. Lintner said she usually has to pick up the house to get things ready for the day. She doesn’t get home until late each day. Her first class is at 8:30 MWF and at 7:30 on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so on Mondays, she feels like she has a little more time to relax, read the paper, and so on. If she has a tough test, she stays up late the night before. “It’s too hard to get up earlier,” she said. ALSO ON MONDAY, Wednesday, or Friday, she goes running in the morning. “If it’s not raining ’ Lintner added. “I don’t run in the rain.” She has to get up about 6:30 to have enough time. Lintner said she never misses class because of oversleeping. She has skipped a class to study, or gotten up at seven for a 7:30 class, but never missed just to sleep. Mike Sullivan,. the Student Union program director, has a more flexible schedule. His job requires that he work nights and weekends sometimes, for dances or to take tickets for Student Union Board- sponsored concerts. Officially, Sullivan said his office hours are eight to 4:30, and he usually shoots for nine or 9:15, but after late work nights, he sometimes doesn’t get in until 10 or 10:15. Each morning, though, follows a similar routine. He gets up when his alarm goes off, takes a shower and shaves, then has a glass of orange juice. “I haven’t eaten breakfast since I was in school when ! discovered I could get another half-hour of sleep,” he said. He listens to the Today Show while skimming the paper and getting dressed, then heads for school, “As soon as I get to work I grab a cup of coffee in the grill to get the caffeine into my system,” he said. Sometimes he thinks about the plants he should have watered, but only after he gets to school and it’s too tate. “I have a wonderful brown thumb,” he added. “I tried doing the jogging trip in the mornings, but it’s just not for me,” Sullivan said. There are also mornings in Sullivan’s schedule when he resets the alarm and gets up late. “Then I do the rush- around routine, skip the juice, and don’t read the paper till lunch.” Charlotte Hofer, St. Paul senior, is another whose morning routine is not hard and fast. She said she sets her alarm for six, but usually gets up at 6:30. “It goes off at six, so I hit it a couple of times,” she said. When she gets up, she turns on the stereo and gets ready for school. Hofer eats toast for breakfast, and goes out to see if her car will start. “If it does, I go to class, if not, 1 don’t,” she laughed. Her first class is at 8:30, but she didn’t make it to class too con- sistently, she said. “It’s been pretty shaky,” she said. “I think it’s because I’m getting close to the end.” Hofer is an education major. She will be going on the block soon. “I'll be in a third grade class at Eugene Field. “I’LL HAVE TO BE really prompt. I’ll probably have to be there before school starts, about a quarter to eight. It’ll be winter, so I’ll have to go wipe off my car.” Mark Allgood, Commerce, Okla., junior, also worries about his car, as he is a commuting student. He and another student from Commerce are both English majors at Pitt State, so they schedule their classes close together, and travel together. Allgood’s first class is at 10:30, so he gets up about seven. After getting ready for school, he reads the newspaper or watches the Today Show. He does a little studying for his first class, and eats breakfast. The two leave at around 9:15, early enough that they can deal with emergencies on the road. It is 42 miles to Pittsburg from Commerce. Allgood said that he is looking for a bad winter. “It’s a long way up there, and I hear they don’t clear the roads too well. We’ll be leaving quite a bit earlier,” he said. Allgood plans to take aoout two hours instead of an hour for the drive. If they get to Pittsburg early, he said he usually gets in a little extra studying. He is always on time. Another Pitt Stater that is always on time is Dr. Thomas Walt her, associate professor of history. His first class is at 8:30, but, since he is the teacher, it can’t start without him. Walther sets his alarm for 5:50, and rolls out of bed immediately. He puts on his jogging clothes and drives to the Weede Gymnasium where he runs for about a half hour. “There are lots of uncrazy people over there at that time ’ he said. “I sometimes pass my chairman, or my dean, when I’m jogging faster than they are. Then, when I’m crawling around the track, they come along and pass me.” Walther gets home at 7:20 and has breakfast with his three children. After breakfast, he takes a bath and shaves around his beard. Then he heads for school. He usually has a cup of coffee with technology people, and they have what he called intellectual discussions.” Walther prepares his lectures partly the night before, and finishes them in the morning before class. “I tend to do things better in the mornings ’ he said. “When I was an undergraduate and I had a big test, I’d study in the morning instead of late the night before.” Walther has a fairly informal class format, and said he is not too hard on people who come in late. There is a much larger percentage of late students and absentees in early morning classes than those later in the day, he said. “MY FIRST YEAR, I taught a 7:30 class and people showed up three hours late, or even a day late,” he said. Now his earliest class is at 8:30, but he still gets late-comers. Walther said he gets some people in his early classes that are employed downtown. They can take a 7:30 or 8:30 class and still get to work on time. Then they come back and take night classes. “Eight thirty is as early as I’m teaching now, but it’s really more of a student service than anything, I could still teach at 7:30, but I’d be so lonely! ” Walther laughed. Some students think having their first class at 10:30 would be even more of a student service. But, isn’t it really nicer to get those classes out of the way and have the afternoon before you? Then you can go out, stay up late, and when the alarm goes off, hit it and get that extra five minutes of sleep, or 10, or . . . —by Olive Sullivan CROWDED BATHROOMS can pose a problem at 8:30 a.m. Randy Doll chooses to prepare for his morning classes in his Shirk Annex room, —photo by Kyle Cleveland. 38—Getting up Getting up—39 Collegio receives 20th The Collegio, the PSU campus newspaper, is somewhat unusual. It is one of the few college newspapers in the nation to win 20 All American ratings, 16 of which have been consecutive awards. Newspapers are judged in five major catagories: coverage and content, writing and editing, editorial leadership and opinion features, physical appearance and visual communication, art and use of graphics, and photography. If the newspaper receives marks of distinction in each category, it is then eligible to win the Pacemaker award. In 1971, the Collegio won a Pacemaker award. The newspapers up for Pacemaker awards used to be divided into several catagories depending on circulation, how many times a week it was published, and whether it was a tabloid or broadsheet. Now, all college newspapers are judged together. The Pacemaker awards do not necessarily go to the best papers in the nation, but to the ones that are setting the trend in college journalism. The Pacemaker awards which are given by the National Scholastic Press Association and the Associated Collegiate Press are presented at their annual meeting. According to Dr. John Knowles, professor of journalism and adviser of the Collegio, several factors con- tributed to the Collegio winning the Pacemaker in 1971. “We were very revolutionary; new and different then. We were running a tabloid format then so we had a two page spread for our editorial page which we ran as a double truck,” said Dr. Knowles. “We used artwork on the editorial page. One time we ran an editorial on marijuana and under the copy we ran a big green marijuana leaf. We also used photos on the editorial page. “Spot color was new and exciting at that time, so that helped us win,” he said. In 1973, the Collegio switched from a tabloid style to the broadsheet COLLEGIO EDITOR Janet Stites lays it on the line at the paper’s weekly staff meeting, —photo by Kyle Cleveland which they are still using. That first semester was the first time the Collegio failed to win an All American award. According to Dr. Knowles it is unusual for a newspaper to win as many All American awards as the Collegio has. Last year the Collegio was up for a Pacemaker award, but did not receive it. It was the first year that the newspapers were judged in one category. Only five awards were given. However, at the National ACP Convention where the awards were presented, seven Collegio employees learned many new techniques. “In the papers that won Pacemakers I didn’t see that their copy was any better than ours, they were just arranged so much differently. I guess you could say that their design was unique, they weren’t that much better than our paper,” said Cindy Cowan, Arma sophomore and Collegio staff writer. Each semester, newspapers which enter the All American competition are notified of their award at the beginning of the following semester. “A lot of students put in much time and effort in putting out the Collegio each week. Receiving an All American award is a sign that we are doing something worthwhile. It’s a reward that makes us proud to be a part of ,e Collegio staff and proves that we are representing Pittsburg State University in a superior way,” said Sheri Johnson, Prairie Village junior and managing editor.

Even though the event kicked off the Fall ‘80 semester, planning began in May. Dick White, Student Senate vice- president, suggested an organization fair, using the example of one held during his freshman year, “I think it’s a real good idea. It provides the initial school spirit that kicks off the year,” he said. White submitted the idea and tentative plans to the President's Council, and they passed it in their May meeting. “It’s another example of how good the President’s Council is this year,” White said. White said the purpose of the organization fair was to get new students, especially freshmen, acquainted with campus organizations. There are over 70 on campus. White said 25 were involved in this year’s Welcome Week ac- tivities. White said that with this many opportunities for extra-curricular activities, the in-coming freshman could undoubtedly find one he was interested in. The problem is that they don’t always know where to find them, or what is available. Student A GLASS BLOWING DEMONSTRATION by Vernon Brejcha, instructor at Kansas University, highlights PSU’s activities fair. — photo by Bill Holtom Senate also publishes a catalog listing various organizations, but, White said, sometimes this isn’t enough. “They don’t always know where to go, so we try to bring the organizations to them,” White said. Participating organizations set up tables on the Oval. They had at least one representative there to answer questions, and some groups had scrapbooks or pictures to give in- terested students an idea. Other groups had displays. The Society of Associated Woodcrafters had objects made from wood. White said Kansas Association of Nursing Students also had an interesting display. He added that a good per- centage of fraternities and sororities was represented, along with ail the campus religious groups, and departmental organizations such as SAW and the Biology Club. Student Senate and Associated Students of Kansas were also represented on the Oval. Student Union Board also spon- sored Vernon Brejcha, a glass-blower from Kansas University, on the Oval. Students gathered to watch him, and stayed to look at displays. There were a few problems with this year’s activity fair, White said. First of all, planning began in May. White started contacting organizations over the summer, but most organizations do not elect their presidents until the first week or so of school. He said he BEFORE THE ACTIVITIES FAIR, President Appleberry and Dick White, Student Senate vice-president, discuss some of the planned activities, —photo by Alan Ford had a difficult time getting in touch with a good representative. White sent letters to the former president of each registered organization, but he said he was not sure if every in- terested organization was notified. “Next time, I want a list of members we can for sure contact, maybe the former president, maybe just a member or the advisor. Somebody who will definitely be in touch with the group,” White said. Another change White suggested was that the fair be held on a Monday or Wednesday, instead of Tuesday afternoon. “The traffic on the Oval is pretty light on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons,” he said. “I think we could get a better response on a different day.” The fair lasted from 1:00 to 4:00. “I think it went over real good,” White said. “Even if only one or two people were contacted, it was a success. That’s one person that wouldn’t have been contacted otherwise. I think most of the organizations felt good about it, too. “One thing I wouldn’t change,” he added. “We had excellent weather. We couldn’t have had a better day,” — by Olive Sullivan BIOLOGY CLUB REPRESENTATIVES Rick Schoeling and Cathy Jilka discuss registration in the club with Randy Doll during the activities fair, —photo by Kyle Cleveland Activities fair—43 reus comes to town The annual Pittsburg State University Homecoming celebration marks one of the most important events of the year for every member of the PSU campus. The parade down Broadway that everyone in town crowds the streets to see, the bands that travel from all over the area to join in the march, the thrill of the action on the PSU field during the Homecoming football game, the presentation of the queen and her court and the presence of old friends returning to their alma mater all add to the memories that the festival inspires. It is a time of excitement, en- joyment and lots of fun. It also gives everyone a chance to participate and to contribute to the exciting at- mosphere that surrounds the campus at this particular time of the year. The Homecoming of 1980 was exceptionally different. It presented to the University, as well as the community, the opportunity to work together as one in developing the event into an experience which was enlightening and beneficial for all. Robert M. Keith, director of Management Information Systems at PSU, thought a committee on Homecoming affairs would raise the level of awareness and participation of the community. Keith took his idea to President James Appleberry after which a committee was formed on campus to organize various activities for the event. Keith headed a sub- committee which interacted with different community organizations and businessmen. “My committee took a poll throughout the community to find out what could be done to improve participation, get the ball rolling again so to speak, as well as benefit the city and the University,” said Keith. The committee also analyzed the possibilities of arousing more en- thusiasm from campus organizations. One major decision they made was to increase the prize money in the float competition for the parade. Arrangements were made with the community merchants and organizations to sponsor fund-raising DURING HALFTIME of several Homecoming festivities Dr. Corcoran begins the direction of the Mass Band Performance, —photo by Alan Ford. projects in order for the committee to be able to increase prize money. This proved advantageous for both sides for it did spur the enthusiasm of campus groups and it was beneficial to the local businessman in that he received recognition for his establishment. There was a long list of community- sponsored events scheduled for the week and a half before Homecoming that added to the hustle and bustle of the 1980 celebration. The Pittsburg Area Chamber of Commerce scheduled a Homecoming auction Oct. 1 at the Pittsburg Mall Shopping Center. Merchandise was contributed by area retail merchants to be auc- tioned off to provide funds for various parade expenses. ON THE WEEKEND of Oct. 4, the Pittsburg Parks and Recreation Department conducted a golf tour- nament at Four Oaks Golf Course in Lincoln Park. The tournament was open to 120 registrants and prizes and trophies were awarded to the first five finishers in four flights. A community Food Fair was also planned by the Homecoming subcommittee and sponsored by the Pittsburg Arts and Crafts Association at the National Guard Armory on Oct. 7. The fair offered a variety of foods that were available to all members of the community and PSU campus for sampling. Convocation was Wednesday, Oct. 8, just three days before the big event. The time had come to choose the 1980 Homecoming Royalty —the queen and her court. Members of almost every campus organization, along with various other spectators, gathered in the enormous stands of Brandenburg Stadium to support and vote for the candidate of their choice. The PSU cheerleaders and yell-leaders led the crowd in many spirit-raising cants and cheers and the stands murmured with an- ticipation as they awaited the final decision of who would reign over the 1980 Homecoming festivities. The tension was at its peak for the 10 semi-finalists as they also awaited the outcome. Finally the moment arrived. Bianca “Nankie” Carbajo, Shawnee junior, was announced as PSU’s 1980-81 Homecoming Queen. She represented Alpha Gamma Delta. According to Carbajo, being among the 24 girls nominated for queen gave way to a week filled with many things to do, places to go and people to see. During those days before convocation, each and every one of the girls spent a lot of time with the judges. Sunday they met for 15 minute 44—Homecoming interviews with the judges which were very superficial and contained general questions pertaining to candidate background information. “Most of the questions the judges asked us were things dealing mostly with school and what plans we had for ourselves after graduation,” said Carbajo. She is working toward a degree in social work and has hopes of also getting a masters degree in coun- seling. “I took some administrative classes and became very interested in counseling. I’m working on my practicum at the Children’s Court Center here in town. I mainly just observe but I have done some primary counseling, talking and interacting with some of the girls there,” said Carbajo. The girls met with the judges one more time preceding the convocation during a breakfast the Tuesday morning before. That morning the 10 semi-finalists were selected. “It was hard for me to believe that I was even chosen as one of the finalists, let alone being chosen as queen. “I feel very honored to have been selected to represent what this University, and everyone here, stands for; higher education, interaction between faculty and students, and fulfilling obligations to this com- munity and to myself. “I really like PSU because it’s a small campus and everyone here is per- sonable and easy to get along with. People here in Pittsburg are also very easy to meet,” said Carbajo. As queen, Carbajo reigned over many of the Homecoming activities. She was master of ceremonies at the Yell Like Hell contest and she par- ticipated in the parade and attended the Alumni Luncheon that afternoon, THE HOMECOMING MAJOR AT- TRACTION consisted of a comedy routine featuring Joey Edmonds and Thom Curley, and a fire and magic show by Tony Vera. The team of Edmonds and Curley have been together for more than 11 years in more than 1,000 college per- formances across 46 states and Canada. They have appeared on such talk shows as the “Tonight Show,” “Mike Douglas,” and “Merv Griffin,” and have been the opening act for such artists as Melissa Manchester, B.B. King, John Denver, Harry Chapin and Billy Joel. Vera is “straight from the streets of New York, the world’s toughest audience,” according to Comedy, Etc., a division of New Line Cinema Corporation. He is an escape artist and balancer as well as magician and fire-eater. Vera has appeared in discos and nightclubs such as the Waldorf Astoria and the New York Hilton, and has been the opening act for many well-known performers such as the Village People, Sister Sledge, Henry Fonda, and the Smothers Brothers. According to Mike Sullivan, Student Union program director, these acts were chosen to be the major at- traction because “they really went along with the ‘Circus Circus’ theme of the 1980 Homecoming.” Edmonds and Curley opened the show with dialogues and skits which covered various situations that continued on page 46 THE 1980 HOMECOMING QUEEN, Bianca Carbajo, reacted to the announcement of her election with an emotional burst at the Homecoming Convocation. Fellow can- didates congratulated Bianca with a hug. —photo by Bill Holtom Circus people often encounter everyday. Thom Curley inevitably dominated the stage during the team’s routine with his quick lines and amazing sound effects. It seemed as though he could imitate anything and demonstrated the fact by putting his abilities to work, along with the help of his microphone, on the sounds of trucks, car crashes, footsteps, background music, or any noise that was needed to enhance the many different sketches they performed. The team obviously enjoyed en- tertaining the college level audience and thrived on its involvement in their act. They constantly asked questions of the audience and then made humorous comments on their an- swers which almost always brought on storms of laughter from the audience. At one point, the team asked the crowd to shout out their majors. After determining that there were quite a few nursing majors in attendance, Curley asked, “Have you ever noticed how nurses always hang around together? It must be because they only have one pair of white hose between them,” Edmonds asked how many students were going to be teachers, and after a show of hands said, “You can always tell which instructors are grade school teachers by the bite marks on their legs. You can even tell which grade they teach by how high the bites are. The pair also put their audience to work for them by per- suading a girl from the crowd to get on stage to help them in a sketch about a student’s first date at college. THE AUDIENCE RESPONDED with much enthusiam throughout the entire routine. Even though the comedy was mainly directed toward the college crowd that composed the majority of those in attendance, all the spectators could find some situation in the act they could relate to. When Tony Vera took the stage, it was obvious that he was what the crowd had been waiting for. He had given a preview of his act at the Homecoming Convocation earlier that morning at the expense of President Appleberry and had amazed the University audience with his astounding capabilities with fire. The first part of Vera’s act at the Wednesday night attraction was composed of magic tricks, which he performed with audience volunteers. He toyed with his participants by having them guess which hand he COMEDIANS EDMONDS AND CURLEY In- volve the audience in their Homecoming act by calling this Pitt State student up. —photo by Kyle Cleveland 46—Homecoming had placed a scarf in. Needless to say, it was never in the hand the volunteer chose. Vera’s act was actually very unique in that through almost the whole show he hardly spoke a word—he whistled. “Whistling makes me feel great. I’ve idolized Harpo Marx since I was a kid. He always whistled and it always made everyone laugh so I want to make my audiences laugh by doing the same thing, said Vera. Vera also chose a small boy out of the audience, placed him in a chair on stage and after placing a type of cushion between his teeth lifted the boy by one leg of the chair and positioned it on the cushion. He held this pose with outstretched arms for many seconds while the crowd stared in awe. Every trick in Vera’s magic act, whether it was done with scarves, string, rings, or cigarettes, involved an audience member in some way— whether they had volunteered or not. For his second act, Vera entered the limelight wearing only a loincloth with a G-string underneath and began his astonishing display of fire-eating abilities. One of the 21-year-old performers biggest assets was his unpredictability. He had the audience on the edge of their seats, wondering what he would do next. The African tribal music Vera played during his fire show also contributed to the rising intensity of the exciting at- mosphere. Vera lit firecrackers and actually threw them out into the audience to explode. He whirled around the stage while demonstrating a primitive dance ritual, lit torches and threw them up in the air, then caught them flame-first in his hands. He then began running down the aisles of the auditorium with his torch, whisking it over the heads of his spellbound onlookers so closely that they could continued on page 48 AN IMPROMPTU PERFORMANCE at the Homecoming Convocation helped to prepare Tony Vera for his unusual performance at Brandenburg Stadium, —photo by Kyle Cleveland AS PART OF THE HOMECOMING Major Attraction, Tony Vera impresses the crowd with his flame blowing and balancing acts. Singeing is a bit of a problem, but Vera doesn’t seem to mind, —photo by Kyle Cleveland Circus feel its heat. He ran the flame across his arms and legs as if there was no such thing as pain, and he received not even one burn. The almost unrealistic fire-eater seemed as though he was hypnotized by the fire and its trailing flames. Covered with perspiration, Vera kneeled and slowly pushed one of his many burning torches down his throat, removed it, and blew the flame from his mouth. He did this many times and everytime he surprised the crowd by never once burning his mouth or throat and did not wince a single time at the balls of flame he continuously seemed to swallow. After his show, Vera came out for a question and answer sesssion with the audience, cautioning them not to attempt any of his tricks. He said that the reason he doesn’t bum much is because his body sweat shields him from the flames. “GETTING BURNED is part of the show. I can’t show pain to the audience, but it’s there and I love it. I just simply love to perform. If the crowd’s happy, I’m happy. It’s my whole life,” said Vera. Vera definitely added a very im- pressive part to Pittsburg’s 1980 Homecoming with his extraordinary performance and he contributed a unique twist to this year’s theme. Finally Homecoming day arrived with Saturday’s dawn, Oct. 11. It began with the organization of the parade at 9:30 that morning. Area bands lined up at 10th and Broadway ready to begin their long trek down Pittsburg’s main street. Old cars, funny cars, floats, cheerleaders, and clowns all made the parade an ex- citing success for the entire com- munity. With the afternoon came the collision of the PSU Gorillas and the Fort Hays State Tigers—the game that had been awaited since the beginning of the season. It was one of great significance to the seniors, as well as the rest of the team. “Homecoming is a game you always want to win. You especially want to look good in front of the parents and alumni,” said PSU Head Football Coach Ron Randleman. The Gorillas were 3-2 overall and 1-1 CLOWNING AROUND at the Homecoming parade. Carri Nealy, Vicki Stonerock, and Judy Martin contributed to a first place victory for the Tri Sig’s in the novelty competition, —photo by Alan Ford. in the Central States Intercollegiate Conference before they entered the Homecoming battle with FHS. They were ready for the game—filled with the expectation of gaining a victory and with enough spirit and drive to work together well as a team in order to get it. They didn’t let Pitt State down in the category of suspense either. THE GORILLAS WAITED until the last 57 seconds to start a 47-yard scoring drive to win the Homecoming confrontation with the FHS Tigers. In the fourth quarter, with Ft. Hays leading by three, linebacker Jeff Cooper, Bolivar, Mo. junior, stripped the ball from Tiger running back Tony Federico. Defensive noseguard Ron Freeman, Boonville, Mo. junior, was in the right place at the right time and recovered the fumble on the Ft. Hays 47 yard line. From there it only took the Gorillas three plays and 37 seconds to score the winning touch- down, making the final tally Gorillas 48—Homecoming 21-Tigers 17. Pittsburg was really filled with fire and fury as everyone attended the various parties and get-togethers that had been scheduled to celebrate the predicted victory of the afternoon game and the well-planned success of the entire Homecoming fiasco. Participation and enthusiasm was at its peak for this year’s big event. It just goes to show how a little hard work, determination, cooperation and interaction between a community of people can actually benefit everyone involved if the initiative is put forth.

This prepares students for the written Federal Aviation Administration examination, which is required in order to take advanced courses. Students must pass this FAA test in order to get credit in the course. Advanced courses offered in the aviation program are: private pilot flight training, commercial ground school, commercial pilot flight training, instructor license flight, instrument rating ground school, and instrument rating flight. “We don’t require students to go on and fly, however, we do encourage them to,” said Dr. Eugene Gardner, coordinator of the program. Probably the only drawback to obtaining a private pilot’s license is the cost to obtain it. Currently, a person is required to have 40 hours of actual flying time with an instructor to qualify for a private license, and that can run anywhere from $1500 to $1800 dollars. After a student has attained his or her private license, they are then free to continue on with advanced courses. However, there are even stricter requirements in acquiring an instrument or commercial license. A student must fly 200 hours in order to IN THE MIDST OF A SHARP BANKING TURN, Jeff Martin scans the sky for another aircraft. —photo by Kyle Cleveland obtain an instrument license, while 250 hours is required to earn a commercial license. Tom Richards, a certified flight instructor in the aviation program, agrees that the cost factor is a big drawback. But he also believes firmly that if a person really wants to fly, they will, no matter the cir- cumstances. “Learning to fly isn’t very cheap, but usually if a person is really interested in flying they will go through with it,” he said. “Even if they don’t fly at first, about 70 percent will go on to fly in the future.” “We had 42 students enrolled in ground school this past year and about eight or ten of them went on to fly,” he added. Three Pitt State students who did continue on to get their licenses were Jeff Martin, Pittsfield, II., senior, Mike Abernathy, Stillwell senior, and Bill Schrader, Herington junior. “You got to want to do it pretty bad or else it is a waste of both your time and your money,” Martin said. “No doubt about it, $1800 dollars is a lot of money,” “Learning to fly is something that I wanted to do all of my life,” he said. “I have always been fascinated by small aircraft.” Martin added, “Most people get their private license just for the heck of it. I’m planning on combining flying with my career in marketing.” “I think it is well worth the time and money,” Abernathy agreed. “I got my private license about a year and a half ago. I’m working on my instrument courses right now. Eventually I want to get into the commercial field.” According to Schrader, obtaining a private pilot license, or any kind of pilot’s license for that matter, can really prove to be a rewarding ex- perience. “It really gives you a lot of self satisfaction,” Schrader said. “Trying for a private license takes a lot of hard work and the feeling you get when you finally obtain it is really great. You really feel a great sense of ac- complishment, knowing that all of that hard work has paid off.”—by Gary Griggs IN PREPARATION FOR A FLIGHT, Jeff Martin checks his Piper Warrior’s fuel for water.—photo by Kyle Cleveland Flying school—51 Coffeehouse Good to the last drop Coffeehouses have been around on campuses since the 1960’s to provide entertainment to smaller college audiences. The name “coffeehouse” was coined in the seventeenth century, when people would meet together in a public place to drink coffee and talk. Later coffeehouses were used for political rallies, and lately the trend has been to use coffeehouses as a place to drink alcoholic beverages and be entertained. “Our coffeehouses are designed to provide refreshing entertainment in an intimate setting,” said Mike Sullivan, Student Union program director. “Our coffeehouse program has existed at Pittsburg State for about 10 years now,” he said. “But it hasn’t been until the past few years that it has really got off the ground. “Many colleges do this type of entertainment program,” Sullivan said. “I think the coffeehouse idea may even be picking up a bit these days because entertainment is getting to be so expensive.” The type of entertainment at a coffeehouse can range from mime to stand-up comedy to all different types of music. However, folk and bluegrass musicians seem to predominate in the circuit. “We strive for variety in our program, Sullivan said. “I think that the spring 1981 semester had the strongest program ever, because of its variety.” Coffeehouse performances usually consist of a single person, with a duo on occasions. “It just seems more open and relaxed when only one person is performing. It’s a more personal show than if a four piece band got up there and played,” Sullivan said. “Usually, the acts that come here have either been here before, have played near here before, had an agent contact us, or did a showcase at one of our entertainment conferences,” he said. “I LOVE COLLEGE AUDIENCES,” said Barry Drake, a coffeehouse musician. Drake wrote many of his own songs to be able to relate better to his audience, —photo by Kyle Cleveland “We try to promote local talent if we can,” Sullivan said. “We have had Allen Ross here quite a few times. And our open mike nights give anyone a chance to show off their talent if they want to.” The coffeehouses at PSU used to be located in the cafeteria of the Student Union. “We just hadn’t explored all the options yet,” Sullivan said. Now they are usually situated in the Stardust Ballroom of the Student Union, although SUB likes to have outdoor concerts whenever they can. Some of more popular performers on the coffeehouse circuit are Bill Haymes, John Biggs and John Ims. “We have had these three here a few times. They have always gotten a good response.” John Denver and Jimmy Buffet both used to be on the coffeehouse circuit in the Midwest. “We had John Denver here when he was with the Mitchell Trio,” Sullivan said. The musicians who perform in a coffeehouse usually write their own songs. They feel relaxed and free to express themselves, explain their music and communicate with the audience during a performance. “I love college audiences,” said Barry Drake, a popular coffeehouse performer. “They are so open and receptive to anything you have to do or say. I really feel like they can relate to me.” “We have a strong reputation in the college circuit for having a warm reception to performers,” Sullivan said. Some of the well-received musical coffeehouse performances during the 1980-81 year were John Bayley, Jasmine, Barry Drake, and Dave Rudolf. Bayley played reggae and calypso jazz, the two-woman duo of Jasmine played jazz, and Drake and Rudolf were more folk-oriented performers. Other performances during the year were not musical at all. For example, photographer Rodney O’Neil did a multi-media presentation entitled “The Spirit of Nature,” which was accompanied by recorded music. Earlier in the year, Steve Harris, founder of the Mimewock school in Kansas City, performed mime routines. “I’d have to say that Jasmine got the best reception of all the performers,” said Scott Ewing, Pittsburg sophomore and program coordinator of the Coffeehouse committee of the Student Union Board. “They have a unique style of music that set them apart from other musicians. I think people liked that.” The small audience setting for entertainment is becoming more and more popular, and Sullivan believes that SUB’s coffeehouse program has nowhere to go but up. “Our program is growing every year,” he said. “People have a good time when they go to a coffeehouse, and that’s what counts.”—by Sheri Johnson USING MEMBERS OF THE AUDIENCE as props, mime performer Steve Harris en- tertains a gathering of 40 students as part of the Union Station Coffeehouse series - photo by Kyle Cleveland Christian groups share fun and fellowship There are several Christian organizations on campus, and each functions with its own unique pur- pose and range of activities. The organizations include the Campus Christians, Lutheran Student Center, Newman Center, Ecumenical Christian Ministries, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, American Baptist Campus Ministries, and the Baptist Student Union. ECM pastor Reverend Richard Kretzschmar said the group hosts an International-American night once a week. They have a variety of activities from square dancing and foreign PRESIDING OVER EVENING MASS Is one of the many services provided by Newman Center’s Father Larson.—photo by Kyle Cleveland films to games. He said, “The aim is to provide an opportunity for cultural exchange between Americans and internationals. ” “The Newman Center tries to get college students like myself involved in the community,” said Rosemary Hessman, Pittsburg freshman. “We had the opportunity to do so last Christmas when we went caroling at the hospital and at New Horizons. They were like little children who wanted love and attention.” Hessman added, “When we began hugging them and talking to them, they really were overjoyed. One lady must have hugged me over a dozen times. When we had to leave she wouldn’t let me go. She tried to drag me back into her room to show me Santa Claus on the wall. As I left, she saw me through the window and pleaded with me to come back. When I shook my head ‘no’ and waved goodbye, she began to cry.” “Going caroling itself didn’t thrill me because we sang so badly,” she said, “but the experience of meeting those special people is unforgettable in my memory. I urge others to share at least a few minutes of their time with them even if it isn’t Christmas.” The Baptist Student Union works a lot with small dorm Bible studies. “There are probably seven women Bible studies and four men Bible studies that meet weekly in different rooms. Our goal is to help people know God personally through Jesus Christ and to help them grow in that relationship,” said Debbie Peters, associate director of BSU, and a Pittsburg graduate student. 54—Religion “The desire of Campus Christians is to be found faithful to God’s word by encouraging Christian students to be true to the Lord Jesus in all parts of their lives, both private and public,” said Don Smith, director of the group. They also hold fellowship and small group sessions for study and discussion. “I feel that Campus Christians gives me a spiritual lift,” said Marian Pompey, LaCygne freshman. The Lutheran Center also has a special type of fellowship to share with the campus community. “We meet weekly and usually have a Bible study. A lot of times the pastor will come and discuss the Bible with us,” said Brian Bitter, Hoisington junior. He added, “We sing, eat refreshments, share in recreation, and sometimes play ping pong. The group is open to everyone. As far as community service trends, we go to the nursing homes and sing with them ’ “Our common purpose is to have fellowship with other Christians or anyone that wants to learn about Christianity,” he said. FCA’s purpose is for people to get to know other people and to learn about Christ, according to Joe Ballou, Overland Park senior. He was one of the founders of the Pittsburg chapter of FCA and explained that when founded, it was just athletes, but that the group is really for anyone at all. Jeff Renz, La Crosse sophomore, is a member of the American Baptist Campus Ministries. He said, “They are a non-denominational group. I’m a Lutheran, but some friends invited me along, and I thought, hey, this is FELLOWSHIP OF CHRISTIAN ATHLETES LEADERS get together before a high school mini-conference. — photo by Kyle Cleveland all right, so I kept coming.” The group was started earlier, but Reverend Jerry Belden, the sponsor, said 1980 was the first year in the past four that they have had something on campus. They have no campus house, unlike most other campus religious groups, but Renz said plans are being made to get one. These organizations don’t force religion on anyone. They are here simply to meet the religious needs of students, and maybe introduce a few that wouldn’t have otherwise gotten involved to the fellowship and fun, as well as spirituality.—by Debra Uthoff Religion—55 No place like home for the holiday I he long Christmas vacation between semesters was a welcome break for students who endured the strain of finals. Most students left school as soon as possible after their last test to take advantage of three weeks of relaxation. Christmas seems to be the time of year when people renew and strengthen relationships with their family and friends. It is a time of giving and sharing and spending time with loved ones. Most students spent the holidays with their families if they had the opportunity to do so. “I always spend the holidays with my relatives. It’s a tradition in our family,” said Kenny Cates, Mission junior. “It just wouldn’t be Christmas if I couldn’t spend it with my family,” said Cliff Taylor, Mission senior.

Skiing or sun- bathing seemed to be the objective of many students as they left for a few days of excitement and fun. Colorado was a popular place for skiing, and Florida, Texas, California, and Arizona were visited by many sun- worshippers. The problem with going on a ski trip this year was that there was no snow. As late as Christmas Day, some ski resorts in Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, and Arizona did not have enough snow accumulation to safely ski on. As a result, many people found many Rocky Mountain ski resorts closed or only open to a limited number of people per day. The existing snow got slushy during the day under the abnormally warm temperatures and froze at night to create dangerous icy conditions for skiers who ventured onto the slopes. “We stayed in Dillon, Colorado, and skied at Keystone, Copper Mountain, and Vail,” said Karen O’Connell, Shawnee Mission senior. “As long as I stayed on the upper slopes, I was basically all right, although there were icy patches and rocks all over the slopes. But the lower runs were all ice in the morning and slush by the afternoon. “You had to ski carefully in those conditions,” she said. “I saw more injuries than I ever had before when I went skiing.” The adverse snow conditions forced some students to cancel their plans for a ski trip. “I was going to go skiing until I found out that there wasn’t any snow,” said Mark Garies, Kansas City junior. “I figured it would be a waste of time and money to go out there, so I finally gave up the idea.” The students who decided to go south for their vacation had better luck, as a rule. But again, adverse weather conditions sometimes hampered their plans. “I went to Florida on vacation to visit my parents,” said Clayton Schul, Grenola senior. “They stay there during the winter. The day I got there it was 28 degrees. “I couldn’t even lay out by the pool while I was there. The temperatures were in the 50’s and 60’s most of the time,” he said. Some of the more money-minded students worked over their Christmas break to get extra spending money for the next semester. “I worked at my hometown beer joint over vacation,” said Janet Stites, St. John junior. “I didn’t mind it, though, because my friends from home came in to see me.” “I worked at the Morning Sun on weekends during Christmas break,” said Jacque Porter, Pittsburg sophomore. “There wasn’t much else to do around here after all the college students left to go home. The town is dead when the students aren’t here.” Christmas break was also a time to renew old acquaintances with childhood friends from home. “I saw friends of mine over vacation that I hadn’t seen since high school,” said Dana Marshal, Prairie Village junior. “The holidays are a good time IN PREPARATION FOR THE CHRISTMAS SEASON, Pat Terry practices traditional recorder carols at Timmons Chapel.—photo by Kyle Cleveland to catch up with old friends because everyone is at home to be with their families.” “The only time I ever get to see Larry, my best friend from high school, is over Christmas break,” said Taylor. “The rest of the year he either spends at school or at his summer job in Washington.” Whatever students did over vacation, whether it was working, traveling, visiting, or just relaxing, the break helped students get prepared for the second semester. “I was glad to get away from school for a while,” said Gary Leuteritz, Indianapolis senior. “But after a couple of weeks I was ready to get back and see everyone again.” “The Christmas break was too long for me,” said Brian Koetkemeyer, Wilson sophomore. “I was actually looking forward to coming back to school.”—by Sheri Johnson Christmas—57 Wost people believe that producing a play is a complicated but fairly easy task. The same is true when a non- athlete watches a professional football game: anyone can get out and run with the ball. Good athletes make performing in a game look easy to the fan. Good actors make per- forming in a play look easy to the audience. The hours of planning, preparing, and practicing give a good play the same smoothness that is seen in a well played game of any sport. Without the many hours of pre- performance work, neither the game nor the show would be worth wat- ching. Producing a play involves doing many jobs which, if not done well, give the play an unpolished ap- pearance. The director of the play is in charge of making sure that each job is done and that the final result is as close as possible to the originally conceived idea. Barry Bengsten, professor of theater, said that “producing a play is like giving birth to a baby, except that it takes only six weeks, not nine months.” Before that six-week period can begin, many other preparations must be made which can stretch the production time to at least nine months. The first problem facing the director is choosing the play to be produced. Professor Robert Gobetz of the department explained that he takes four criteria into account when choosing a play: the quality of the script, its educational value, the talent available in the area, and community standards which may affect the script choice. “I look for a timely script or try to revive a good, old piece, depending on what has been happening in the world at the time. Since education is my first responsibility, I try to give the students a variety of ex- periences,” he said. But the quality of the script is also important. According to Gobetz, “A script must have proven itself in one of two ways: it must have stood the test of time, and it must appeal to major audiences and critics. It has to have appeared in major coastal and European theaters and have been praised by reviewers at many levels.” He does admit to having strayed from this rule before, and the results were less than favorable. “Once I tried to produce a script translated from Yugoslavian, but so much was lost in the translation that the audience couldn’t relate to the piece. I’ll still experiment sometimes, though, when I see a good script,” he said. Bengsten said that, along with script quality, he uses research and purpose to determine his choices. During the year he watches for the types of productions which are opening in the major cities, and he even travels to New York each year to get ideas. Usually I have two or three ideas that stand out when I am getting ready to decide, but unless there is a specific goal in mind for the production—like the Homecoming event or an American College Theater Festival entry—I try to give the four- year student the chance to experience as many different types of theater as possible,” Bengsten said. The ACTF is the American College Theater Festival held annually at a regional university campus. For each festival, the colleges in each region are invited to submit an entry for competition to be one of the four productions shown during the festival. Pittsburg State’s entry this year was Bengsten’s production of Aristophanes’ “The Clouds”. The show was judged by the panel of three critics who reviewed the other 39 entries in the contest. Both professors agree that available talent is one of the most important factors influencing their decisions. There have to be enough people of the right types on campus or in the local area to fill the roles before a director can choose a script. Bengsten said, “You can’t do a play that calls for 700 roles if you have only 40 actors.” Community standards are not usually a problem, though exceptions have arisen. In early 1980 the local high school encountered resistance when the play to be produced was judged to be in violation of those standards. After much negotiation and revision, the play was allowed to be produced. Gobetz commented, “You have to take those standards into account. This is Pittsburg, Kansas, not Broadway in New York City.” After choosing the script, the director must analyze it and prepare it for production. When reading the script, he or she must visualize the set, the actors, and the costumes in order to form a mental picture of the final result. Sometimes this picture resembles the one envisioned by the playwright, but sometimes it looks nothing like the author’s original idea.

The original play was set during classical Greece, but Bengsten, for practical reasons, switched the scene to an old West setting. “It worked better,” he said. By visualizing the final product, the director can then sketch basic plans for the set, lighting, and costumes for the show. The directors and technicians in charge of those areas will then make suggestions and revisions on those plans. These preparations must then be completed before the dress rehearsals so that the actors can use them before opening night. The final preparation before beginning the six-week birth is the director’s blocking. Blocking is the process of transferring from mind to paper the director’s ideas for the actors’ movement on stage. It can be compared to a coach’s pre-game planning of offensive and defensive plays for his team. However, the director’s plans are much more complicated. Now the six-week period can begin. The director starts by holding casting tryouts to decide which prospective actors will play the roles in his show.

The job of casting the play, choosing which actors and actresses will fill the roles, is the most difficuJt task for a director. He must choose a person that not only fills the role, but one who also fits in well with the rest of the cast. The actor must physically meet the requirements of the role by general appearance, but the group picture must be well balanced for the right stage image. When the cast is finally chosen, the six to eight-week rehearsal period starts with nightly rehearsals. Basically, the actors go through a training period from the easiest to the most difficult aspects of the play, following a similar schedule to the one that Bengsten uses. “The first week of rehearsal is spent leading the actors through the script and my interpretation of it. The next two weeks, the actors learn the basic blocking while using their texts. Weeks four and five are used to get GOING ON STAGE requires a lot of preparation for Gina Vincent-Prager as she styles her hair and psyches herself up for the play “Anything Goes. —photo by BillHoltom the actors off the books and into perfecting the blocking. The last week is for polishing the play into performance caliber,” according to Bengsten. The week of the production is the most hurried of all. All preparations for opening night must be finished before the play begins. Publicity for the play has to have interested the public into wanting to come to the show, and the show must be worthy of the publicity so that early viewers will want to return. This is especially true for the summer theater program. “In the fall and spring the purpose of theater is mainly educational,” said Bengsten, “but in the summer it’s what will sell that is important.” On opening night, the only parts of the theater program that the audience sees are the ushers and concessions workers, the ticket seller and takers, and the well-trained actors who have become the characters they are to portray.

Well, many of them are rushing home so they don't miss a minute of their favorite soap opera. Students don’t limit their soap watching time just to during the day, though. Such shows as ‘'Dallas,” “Soap” and Knot’s Landing” have also attracted the attention of the college audience.

It’s funny, isn’t it, that so many things can go on in the lives of just a few people. Some students feel that keeping up with these events is a necessity. “I go home everyday just to see what’s going to happen next. Sometimes the suspense from day to day is unbearable so I have to keep up,” said Lisa Miller, Pittsburg sophomore. Some students don’t have the time to view their favorites everyday but do watch whenever they can. “I have quite a few classes during the middle of the day so I don’t always get to see everything I want to see all of the time. But, you know how soaps are, you can miss a month and still know what’s going on,” said Susie Cope, Pittsburg freshman. The audience for soaps doesn’t always consist of just women. Many of the men on campus have the same addiction. “I watch ‘All My Children’ whenever I get the chance. If I happen to miss a day, I can always find someone that knows what happened,” said Bobby Leuteritz, Indianapolis freshman. “I’m not addicted to soaps but I watch them whenever my girlfriend is around,” said Greg Vietti, Pittsburg auto body student. Some of the women who feel they need to watch soaps attribute it to being a way of dealing with and facing actual circumstances that can very possibly arise in real life situations. “I know that soaps are a little over- dramatized sometimes, but they do represent tragedies that can really happen. Besides, they can educate you on how people really are and they offer a lot of philosphies on life,” said Lori Mendenhall, Pittsburg freshman. It doesn’t matter whether you’re involved in who’s having an affair with who on “Texas,” where Dusty has been keeping himself for so long on “Dallas,” or what deviant scheme Niki is up to on “The Young and the Restless,” you have still fallen victim to the ever-growing audience of soap watching that is slowly but surely becoming a national obsession.—by Jacque Porter Soap operas—63 t’lTTSUUi 64—Elections Republicans sweep races Election 1980—a year of, “If I’m elected, I promise to...” A time for the handshaking, speech giving, mud slinging and the political elite to affirm or reaffirm their chances to govern the population. The race for the Democratic Party nomination between incumbent President Jimmy Carter and opponent Senator Edward Kennedy came down to a decision at the party convention. Their race was one of the few really competitive intra-party races during the year. In the Republican party few had a chance at the nomination under the control that Ronald Reagan had over the party.

Carter and Reagan continually were apologizing for comments made about each other or correcting statements over their policy matters. The addition of a third party choice was something that entered this year’s voting picture for the first time in a decade. With independent John Anderson refusing to back out, the nation was given a third view of the issues away from the normal straight Democratic or Republican stand. With a third party in the picture much controversy over the debate process was brought to view. All three could not or would not debate together so a series of one-on-one debates were held. The debates proved to be for the most part helpful to presidential hopeful Reagan who took a com- manding lead close to election time according to the national pollsters. To find out what the college and IN PREPARATION for the Nov. 4 election, Bob Black tapes up posters for Libertarian candidate Ed Clark, —photo by Kyle Cleveland university population thought about each candidate a poll of 2,061 students for area colleges and universities was conducted through Pittsburg State University.

On election day it turned out that all the mud slinging and debates had paid off for the Republicans, President Carter conceded to Reagan early Tuesday evening. Reagan became president-elect in what was considered by some a landslide. The voter turnout nationally this year was somewhat apathetic. National polls showed a drop in voter turnout from the last national election. According to national surveys many of the non-voters said they felt that they really favored none of the candidates and said that they didn’t feel that they should vote just for the sake of voting. Anna Golob, Pittsburg sophomore said, “I didn’t pay that much attention to the race this year and I didn’t feel that I wanted either candidate for president, so actually voting would have been a useless task.” In addition to direct participation by voting, Glenn Robinson, PSU photojournalism instructor, and Kyle Cleveland, Carl Junction sophomore, covered the Democratic National Convention held in New York. Both had a chance to be on the floor during all the action and were there primarily to photograph the action. Robinson was working for the Morning Sun. Cleveland also got a chance, as one of the youngest photographers there, to take pictures alongside the nations best photojournalists and press per- sonnel. Kansas state and local elections were for the most part predictable. Only one race was contested. In the race for Kansas state senator in the 13th district Democratic in- cumbent Don Allegrucci and his opponent Republican Ed Roitz came within less than 100 votes of each other. Roitz’s small margin of victory sparked two requests for recount by Allegrucci but both efforts showed that Roitz was still on top and he was officially announced the winner. Another race that became somewhat of an ‘I dare anyone to try and beat me' race was for the second district county commissioner’s seat which had been held by Joe Saia for 42 years. This year the challenger for Saia’s was Paul Monsour, Pittsburg area businessman. The margin was closer this year than in years past, but Saia held his seat and maintained the record for the most consecutive terms in office in Kansas. Another race that had its fair share of opposing views of county issues was in the race for sheriff, between incumbent James Sellars and John Chester. During the race questions on the handling of the sheriff’s budget came up and Chester questioned Sellars’ handling of funds. The wide margin Sellars was ex- pected to hold dwindled quickly and Sellars was beaten by Chester. In addition to the question of candidates a number of tax questions were on the ballot for Pittsburg residents. The major issue was that of a city sales tax. The tax was to provide funds to renovate Memorial Auditorium. The tax passed by a large margin. According to Dean McFarland, county clerk, 78 percent of Crawford County turned out to vote. Voting polls were open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and returns from area precincts didn’t begin coming in until around 6;30 p.m., at which time they had to be officially recorded and then RONALD REAGAN WON with a landslide victory in the electoral college in what was suppose to be a close election.

The situation dragged on and on, and nothing President Jimmy Carter did seemed to help. Popular opinion turned against him after a disastrous rescue attempt. At last, the popular speculation was that the Iranians were going to wait until after the Presidential elections, perhaps to embarrass Carter in his efforts. The American hostages in Iran were released January 21, two minutes after President Ronald Reagan was inaugurated into office. Yellow ribbons appeared on the 52 hedgewood posts placed in front of the Student Union by Larry Wooster, associate professor of art, in tribute to the hostages. The posts were symbols of the loneliness, the desolation, yet the sturdiness and durability of the hostages. On January 21, they would have to be lonely no longer. Millions of Americans watched the hostages riding in ticker-tape parades through the streets of our largest cities. Many psychologists openly worried about what effect all of the publicity would have on the hostages, especially after they fell out of the limelight. Also there came a new sense of resentment for Iranians in general and specifically Iranians in America. “They have the right to receive an education, occupy housing facilities, and obtain the same protection under the law as native Americans if any of these rights are threatened. “Threatened! Our people have been the ones threatened and abused. Were our people given the same rights as Iranians while held in their country? Were they treated as equal citizens? Hell no!’1, read a Collegio editorial. As in the theater, where the opening and closing of the performance are the most important in the impression people get, Americans were the most upset at the beginning and end of the hostage crisis. A failed rescue attempt costing the lives of U.S. soldiers and continual setbacks and delays by the Iranian government seemed to instill in the American people a sense of helplessness while the crisis was in progress. With the hostages safely home, though, sentiments ran high. Also, reports of bad treatment from the Iranian militants, given by the returned hostages, upset many Americans. “It is now time for the American public to seriously consider if ad- ministering no punishment is the proper and dignified way in which to justify the disgusting abuse that the Iranians forced upon our innocent people,” read the same editorial. One of the conditions of the release was that there would be no reprisals by the United States against Iran or its people. Some, however, saw a need for ending the trouble as good and any punishment as being unjustifiable. “I would like to know just what purpose this unknown author has in writing this article? Was he-she trying to rid themselves of guilt feelings or just trying to stir up more trouble?” said Vicki Pribble, Parsons senior, in a letter to the editor of the Collegio. “If the Iranian people are to be considered the same as the Iranian government and are to be punished for their government’s actions, then should not the American people be considered the same as the American government? And should we then also be punished for our unjust acts? And I am sure we are all aware of the number of countries we have con- trolled and are now controlling, in which people (millions) are suffering, and Iran was one of these countries,” she said. Ronald Metz, Arma graduate student, said in a letter to the editor, “To think of not honoring the release agreement is one step closer to being like them. If you really did not expect to hear of bad treatment, you are naive. “We must also continue to treat Iranians in the United States as we treat all Americans, with respect as human beings,” said Metz. A Thanksgiving Service for the returned hostages was held at Timmons Chapel, Jan. 28. About 50 students and faculty at- tended to give thanks that the hostages had been returned safely. “We must pray for the world that this will not happen again, and pray for unity for our country,” said Dick White, Overland Park junior. “We as Americans need to respond to this situation in a way that the former hostages will be proud of us. They faced the greatest flood of wrong, degradation and humiliation, but stood for right,” said Don Smith, a Campus Christians member, at the ceremonies. “We must carry a prayer for all the Iranians who do not support terrorism that they too will overcome and prevail,” said Dr. Ray Baird, vice- president for administration. No reprisals were enacted against the Iranians by the United States government. Iran found itself in tougher and tougher situations, though, as they became embroiled in a war with Iraq. Some students on the PSU campus were deported to Iran as they graduated or could not produce sufficient or proper documents validating their stay in the United States, We must pray for the world that this will not happen again, and pray for unity for our country. 68—News Briefs New system saves time A computer enrollment system has been installed at PSU and in use since pre-enrollment for Fall 1980 The computer is presently being used to take the place of the class card-pulling process that used to take exorbitant amounts of time, “What’s been done is that all of our computer-supported systems have been replaced by new computers and programs,” said Robert Keith, director of PSU management in- formation systems, “We are presently using the Registrar’s system. This system supports pre-enrollment and can take care of all student information ex- cluding financial aid,” he said. Five months have been necessary to program the computer to handle the pre-enrollment process. The com- puter knows all student information, such as prerequisites taken, hours completed, and parking ticket and library fine information that can block the student from enrolling. “We don’t have to waste a lot of time talking to the students to find out what courses they have already had and what they need to have for any certain course—it’s already there on the screen,” said Corene Kreissler, a part-time pre-enrollment employee, “On the average, from the time the student enters the old Porter Library to pre-enroll, until the time he leaves, no more than two minutes and 15 seconds should have passed,” said Keith. The computer can tell the operator if a course is closed, if the student requires a prerequisite for any par- ticular course or if the course requires the instructor’s consent. “The prerequisite information is not 100 per cent accurate as yet because not all of the faculty has been asked to turn in a prerequisite list for all of their courses, but that will eventually be done, said Keith. Since a computer system cuts the amount of time spent enrolling by ENROLLMENT IS QUICKER and the lines are shorter thanks to the new computer ter- minals. Virginia Ortolani helps Marla Snow enroll for the fall 1981 semester.—photo by Dot Koehler half, new, shorter enrollment schedules will probably be made up. “We scheduled the same amount of time this semester for pre-enrollment as we have in the past and we think we’ll be able to form some idea of exactly how much time we’ll be able to save in the future, said Keith. “It sure beats the long lines we’ve had to stand in before. You just hand them a card, they push a button and you’re enrolled, said Kathy Estrel, Pittsburg sophomore. “We don’t have to look through all those class cards, either, which saves so much time, too,” said Betty Crandall, pre-enrollment employee. The system is also being used to support alumni record keeping. It is being programmed to handle ad- missions records and library cir- culation records. “The systems are still administrative oriented. Students will not be able to come in and program the systems themselves and obtain what they need. But registrar employees will have less work and wii! be able to be faster and more efficient in retrieving information, said Keith. School of Business and Economics Chosen for test center Pittsburg State has been chosen as a regular testing center for the four national Graduate Management Admission Tests. This is a required exam for the Kelce School of Business and Economics, as well as more than 500 of the top graduate schools of management in the US. Dr. Steve Wartick, assistant professor of business administration, said, “We have found that the GMAT exam is the best indicator of success in the MBA program. It gives us the best idea of who will succeed, although there are always exceptions here and there.” PSU is one of six Kansas schools offering an MBA degree. News Briers continued News Briefs—69 News Briefs President Reagan shot... Monday, March 30, was a beautiful, clear day for Pittsburg State University. Students studied or enjoyed the sun, or both, throughout the morning and early afternoon, in the mid-afternoon the news came. President Reagan had been shot in Washington. President Reagan was shot in the chest Monday by a youthful gunman who tried to assassinate him with a blaze of .22-caliber pistol fire that critically injured White House Press Secretary James S. Brady and felled two other men,” said the Morning Sun story of the following day. Described as wandering, aimless, and irresponsible,” John Warnock Hinckley was taken into custody and formally charged with attempting to assassinate the President and with assaulting a Secret Service officer. The additional charge of murder would have been added had Brady died, but he pulled through at an amazing rate.” The would-be assassin had fired six shots at President Reagan from nearly point blank range as he left the Washington Hilton Hotel. Somehow he had managed to in- filtrate the press lines, devoid of identification, and stood just around the corner from the President as he got into his limousine. Reagan was hit on the left side of the chest and the bullet deflected off of a rib before it lodged in his left lung. At first he did not realize he was hit, downgrading a Secret Service agent for hurting his rib when he pushed Reagan into the limousine, Originally on route to the White House, the car changed direction when blood was discovered on the President. Those at PSU near a television or radio instantly heard changes in any conditions, even if the changes were more constructs of the media than reflections of actual fact. In the late afternoon students heard that Brady had died. Ten minutes later the stations were apologizing for the misinformation.” Brady, shot in the head and with a bullet lodged in his brain, was given little chance to live by the doctors. His recovery, though, was no less than astounding. Reagan had surgery to remove the bullet in his lung. The media played up the operation as being “ex- traordinarily long” and questions of his worsening condition were raised. However, doctors said “he was never in any serious danger. The mangled bullets had missed his heart by several inches. He had needed some blood and his chest had to have air pumped into it when it collapsed. The operation, though, was routine, except for the patient. Within 24 hours of his surgery, Reagan was fulfilling his duties as President with the use of a com- munications network set up in the hospital. There are not a lot of differences from him being in the Oval office,” said Larry Speakes, deputy White House press secretary. Vice-President George Bush took over the day-to-day White House routine for the President. Secretary of State Alexander Haig, being in the highest position of authority at the White House im- mediately after the President was shot, announced that the government was unhindered in operation and that he would be willing to take over the responsibilities of the chief executive if somehow the Vice-President became incapacitated, also. He seemingly forgot that that honor would go to the Speaker of the House before him. Bush arrived later though, and announced, I can reassure this nation and a watching world that the American government is operating fully and effectively. We’ve had full and complete communication throughout the day.” Despite Hinckley’s record of weapon ownership, association with neo-Nazi groups, and psychoanalysis, no motive came out of his initial questioning. Police said that they later found in Hinckley’s apartment a letter ad- dressed to the actress Jodie Foster, in which he told her of his plans to kill the President. Foster said that she had recieved love letters from a “John Hinckley,” but that none of them mentioned violent acts, whether they be against the President or anybody. “In none of these letters and notes I received was any mention, reference or implication ever made as to violent acts against anyone, nor was the President ever mentioned,” Foster read from a prepared statement two days after the shooting. She said she was “shocked” and “frightened” by news of the shooting and the association with her. Asked about the shooting, former President Gerald Ford said, Anybody who commits a crime with a gun, whether he uses that gun or not, should receive a mandatory jail sentence, maybe even capital punish- ment.” Ford, of course, was the last President to have an attempt made on his life. He was uninjured on two attempts in 1975. 70—News Briefs Society for Collegiate Journalists Local chapter goes national Pittsburg State University's chapter of the Society for Collegiate Jour- nalists was one of three chapters elected to the SCJ national council at the biennial national SCJ convention held April 9-11, in Springfield, Mo. Linda Tracy, Kansas City junior, and Olive Sullivan, Pittsburg junior, were the delegates representing the PSU chapter. The three chapters elected to the national council were voted on by the delegates representing each chapter at the convention. According to Glen Robinson, journalism instructor and advisor to the Kanza, active participation was the reason the PSU chapter made a seat on the national council. “SCJ is an honorary organization that encourages excellence in collegiate journalism. The organization recognizes excellence by awarding chapters the opportunity to serve on the national council,” said Robinson. “This is the first time that the Pitt- sburg chapter has been elected to the national council since 1971. That was the same year the Collegio was named the number one college newspaper in the nation,” said Dr, John Knowles, associate professor of journalism and advisor to the Collegio. Anna Arellano, Newton junior, wilt represent the Pittsburg chapter for the next year on the national council. The newly-elected council will serve for two years, performing such duties as determining the direction and goals for SCJ, making changes in the constitution and awards procedure, and coordinating activities for the next SCJ convention in 1983. On May 28, Arellano went to Eastern Illinois State University in Charleston for a council meeting. In October she will go to Miami, Fla., for the Associated Collegiate Press Con- vention to meet with SCJ national officers and regional representatives. “The meeting in Illinois will be our summer chapter meeting and orientation session for all of the new officers and delegates. I am looking forward to meeting and working with all of them, said Arellano, after the spring election. “Our main goal is to begin new SCJ chapters, especially on the West coast, “We have three chapters in Kansas alone, and only about a total of three chapters in all the states west of the Rockies. Most of our chapters are located in the East, so we will try to communicate with as many western universities as possible, she said. Other members of the Pittsburg chapter who attended the convention were Burl Powell, Granby, Mo,, junior; Jacque Porter, Pittsburg sophomore; Sheri Johnson, Prairie Village junior; Kyle Cleveland, Carl Junction sophomore; Dot Koehler, Pittsburg sophomore; Vicky Raine, Pittsburg senior; and Leslie Powers, Neosho, Mo., senior. Robinson and Dr. Knowles also attended the convention. White is concerned with high cost of education Dick White, Overland Park junior, and Pete Cole, Nevada, Mo., junior, became president and vice-president of the Student Senate as a result of the Spring 1981 elections. White and Cole replace Kathleen Harnish, Kinsley junior, as president, and White as vice-president. Karen Welker, Pittsburg senior, and Daryl Holdredge, Olathe junior, were running against White and Cole. Although rumors during April 1 and 2, the election days, had the dual pegged as “close,” White and Cole won by more than a three to one margin. Out of 526 students voting, 359 went for White-Cole, while 123 opted for Welker-Holdredge. “I thought it was a tight race all the THE NEW TERM OF Student Senate began Wednesday, April 8 with the swearing in of successful senate candidate Dick White.— photo by Dot Koehler way. I had no idea we would win by such a margin,” said White in the Collegio. Financial issues were of overriding concern for White and Cole during the election. “We are generally concerned with the cost of education and want to do everything in our power to control that level. We want to make sure what money we do have is being split up evenly and being used in the best way possible,” said White. Welker and Holdredge ran on a more general platform. “Getting a physician on campus, improving communications lines, keeping the Day Care Center operating and restructuring Emphasis programs are a few of the issues that Welker and Holdredge are concerned with,” reported the Collegio in its April 1 issue. Twenty-five new senators were elected. Ten students filled ten at- large positions; two candidates were elected to School of Business and Economics positions, even though four seats were open; six students filled School of Arts and Sciences positions; only three of the four School of Education positions were filled; and all four positions in the School of Technology and Applied Science were filled. After the elections, four seats were left unfilled and would therefore require appointments made by the senate to fill the vacancies. All new senators were sworn in April 8, 1981. During her farewell address, Harnish left the senate with the warning the students not treated well by the allocation process would have bad feelings about the senate. A constitutional revision dealing which simplified and clarified the allocation process was approved during the balloting. It was passed by a margin of 410 to 35. Fifteen per cent of the student body were required to vote for the revision to be valid and it squeaked by with 15.25 percent of all full time students casting a ballot. News Briefs continued News Briefs—71 News Briefs Track policy upsetting The Athletic Policy Committee sent controversy rippling through Pitt- sburg State Universtiy when it voted to de-emphasize the women’s track and cross country programs, “I’m thoroughly upset. We definitely are not getting a fair shake in this decision,” said Bob McLeod, head coach for the women’s program, “The policy committee was sup- posed to evaluate the program on merit and the amount of improvement over the previous year to determine its future, he said. When the committee made the decision in the beginning of March, the cross country team was placed sixth nationally and had three All- Americans, The track team had one All-American and the season was Pittsburg State University student Robert B. “Brad” Wohltman, 20, of Independence, was run over by a city patrol car and found dead about 1 a.m., Thursday, Feb. 19, near the intersection of Ford and Rouse streets. According to the autopsy report, he died after suffering severe injuries to the neck and chest. The patrol car was driven by 25-year- old Patrolman Carl Flora. “Wohltman was seen at a party Thursday evening at the Sigma Tau Gamma fraternity where pure grain alcohol was served. He appeared to be extremely intoxicated,” said Chief of Police Ralph Shanks. “He was also seen at Hollywood’s, Dellinger Hall and last seen near Normal and Homer Streets by three witnesses shortly before his death,” said Shanks. There were rumors that Wohltman had been involved in a fight, possibly killed with a knife and then dumped on the road. The slashes on his chest seemed to support this. “The preliminary autopsy report indicates that all of Wohltman’s injuries were caused by the impact of the vehicle,” said Shanks. only beginning. Dr. Bill Dickey, PSU athletic director and member of the policy com- mitteee, made the recommendation to de-emphasize the program, which was passed by a four-three margin. Reasons cited for the action were lack of proper funding for the program and that the program was operating under a temporary coach. “We simply can not hold onto a program that is inadequately funded and lacks full time coaching. If we did hold onto it, we would have to invade other athletic program’s dollars, that have adequate funding, and we can ill afford to do that,” said Dr. Dickey. Men’s track and cross country received a total of $18,500 for the year while the women’s programs recieved Flora was suspended from duty with pay until the police department could complete an investigation of the incident. It was a foggy night and there was a car approaching in the opposite lane when Flora’s vehicle struck Wohlt- man. Flora was therefore unable to see or avoid the body. Wohltman’s neck was partially severed and there was a large gash on his chest. However, most of the blood was still contained within his body cavity. He was a member of Sigma Tau Gamma fraternity and his car was found parked near the fraternity house the next morning. “We were all very shocked when we heard what had happened to Brad,” said John Regan, Pittsburg sophomore and Sig Tau member. “Several things could have hap- pened and we may never know what those things were. He wasn’t the type of person that went wandering off or got into trouble and I can’t see why he would have walked right by the fraternity house without telling someone where he was going,” Regan said. only $2,000. “Big deal. If a program is successful with a part time coach, does it really matter if the coach is part time or not? After all, success is the key, isn’t it?” asked Gary Griggs, Kansas City sophomore and sports editor of the Collegio in a column complaining about the decision. “We have proved ourselves—now they are just turning their backs on us. These girls have devoted a lot of time and a lot of effort, and really have done one hell of a job. They deserve a whole lot better than this,” said McLeod. Three weeks after the decision to de- emphasize, the athletic policy committee voted to re-emphasize the programs. Tragedy strikes 72—News Briefs Catherine Junge, assistant professor of vocational technical education, made the recom- mendation to re-emphasize. “The re-emphasis recommendation calls for the women’s track program to receive additional funding and for those funds to be distributed proportionally. The recommendation also calls for the program to continue to operate under a part time coach next year, then efforts are to be made to hire a full time coach the following year, 1982-83,” said a Collegio report. McLeod, however, would not continue in that position. We simply can not hold onto a program that is inadeaquately funded and lacks full time coaching. If we did hold onto it, we would invade other athletic program's dollars, that have adequate funding, and we can ill afford to do that. I Dr. Dickey said that two graduate assistants would be hired to replace McLeod because the money for a coach “is just not there.” “I do think converting back to graduate assistants is a backward step in trying to make this program a viable one. Unless this graduate assistant person is experienced in the field, that person just will not cut it,” said McLeod. “Dr. Dickey said he would attempt to find the best person available, but I guarantee he will have an awful hard time,” he said. ANGER AND DISAPPOINTMENT are evident In the expression of Susan Southwell as she hears of the decision to de-emphasize women’s track.— photo by Dot Koehler Attempt ,| pray for that brother of ours who shot me, and whom I have sincerely pardoned,” said Pope John Paul II, after the second major assasination attempt in two months. The attempt, with international implications, left the Pope with three bullet wounds, one on his left hand, one through his right arm and one in his abdomen. The Pope was shot Wednesday, May 13, while riding in a jeep through St. Peter’s Square in Rome. There were thousands of people crowded into the square to see the Pope and hear him speak, which he never got the chance to do. Mehmet Ali Agca, a Turkish national, was charged with the shooting. According to the Italian police, Agca fired two shots at the Pope. One passed through his right arm and then hit Ann Odre, 58, of Buffalo, The new Science Annex building on Ford and Rouse Streets is temporary housing for biology and chemistry labs until a new science building is completed. Some confusion has resulted because the facility houses only lab classes. Lectures, research labs and some upper division teaching labs are still held in Bowen and Yates Halls. “I’ve even had faculty in the math and physics departments not realize it,” said Dr. Melvin Potts, chairman of the chemistry department. Because the science classes are spread out across campus, teachers and students have had some dif- ficulty getting to classes on time. A new bussing service from Yates Hall to the McPherson Nursing Building, Weede Gymnasium, and ultimately, the Science Annex, has helped students. The problem for teachers is compounded by the fact that on Pope N.Y., in the chest. The second bullet hit the pontiff in the left wrist, bounced through his lower abdomen, and then struck another American, Rose Hall, 21, in the elbow. When hit, the Pope slumped in the jeep and blood could be seen on his hands and on his robe. The Pope was rushed to the hospital where segments of his lower intestine were removed and he was placed under intensive care. Agca, who originally gave his name as Hagca, was serving a life sentence in Turkey for killing a Turkish jour- nalist when he escaped to Germany to live with his wife. Doctors said the Pope should recover barring complications. He was able to leave his bed to tape a brief message in time for a mass said on his birthday. The Pope turned 61. students have a tendency to park in red zones around Bowen Hall, making teachers lose time hunting for parking places, Dr. Potts said. Parking space around the annex is ample. Both the buses and the new building worked out smoothly, and everyone seemed to adjust well. “I haven’t heard a complaint about it,” Dr. Potts said. When permanent facilities are completed to replace Carney Hall, the Science Annex will be converted for use by the Vocational Technical Institute. The new science facility will be constructed in the vacant spot left by Carney Hall’s razing. It is slated for completion by the summer of 1983, but Dr. Potts ad- mitted, “That’s probably an optimum. Completion could be as late as the latter part of 1984.” Temporary housing causes confusion News Briefs continued News Briefs—73 News Briefs Center offers new outlook One new face on campus Is not unusual, what with returning students, incoming freshmen and transfer students. New faculty and exchange students are also common these days, but one change of face this year was that of the chaplain at the St. Pius X Newman Center across from the Student Union. Father Robert K, Larson symbolizes the center’s new outlook on serving the spiritual needs of a campus community. Before coming to Pittsburg, Larson served the Wichita Diocese, which includes Southeast Kansas, for 20 years. He spent a year as pastor of the St. Paul Newman parish in Wichita, and worked with the Newman Center at Wichita State University. The Newman Club is the center’s student organization, which meets on the first and third Wednesdays of each month. Films and discussions are part of the program Larson initiated, and he hopes to add counseling sessions for young married couples, and to get the center involved in campus intramurais. The Newman Center was developed by Pittsburg’s large Catholic population to serve the spiritual needs of the students, faculty and employees of PSU, but it is open to anyone who needs help, a place to worship or just someone to talk to. The building contains a chapel with Sunday and daily masses; a library for philosophy, theology and other materials not found at the Leonard Axe Library; a study lounge and a game room. Although the center offers many outlets, Larson said the primary purpose is to help people find God and develop their spiritual selves. “Probably 75 per cent of the people on this campus believe in God,” he said. “We all know what we’re supposed to do, but we just don’t do it. If there were some way to ac- complish this, the world would be a much better place. “The purpose of the Newman Apostolate is to be concerned about the spiritual welfare, the religious education, the apostolic formation and the responsible participation of the Catholic student in the university community,” he added. The purpose of the center, he said, is to be a meeting place for Catholics and their friends, and Includes the tran- smission of Catholic principles and culture into the university com- munity. The Newman Center offers many services to enrich both mind and body, but Larson stresses that the chief purpose is the develop the soul—to find God. Father Robert Larson symbolizes the center s new outlook on serving the spiritual needs of the campus. Classes provide in-depth look Several departments added new classes to their curriculum this year, and the English department almost totally restructured their offerings. In the Department of Technology, new courses include Fundamentals of Radio 147 and Electronic Technology Seminar 642. In the Department of Health, Physical Education, and Recreation, Theory and Fundamentals of Activities I, li, and III were added. Advanced Managerial Accounting was added in the accounting department. Computer science and information systems added Directed Reading 590. The English department formed a scheduling committee which almost totally reworked departmental of- ferings. In place of survey courses in American and British literature, formerly taking two semesters to complete, British Literature 240 and American Literature 245 were added. These each combine the former two- semester combination into one survey course. The idea, according to Dr. Joanna Freeman, professor of English, is to recruit students from other areas across campus for literature courses. The scheduling committee felt that non-English majors would be more likely to take lower level courses than the 400 level courses. Just the opposite, a course entitled History and Law of Mass Com- munications was split into two separate sections entitled History of Mass Communications, and Mass Communications Law, respectively. These are required courses for communications majors, and, ac- cording to Glenn Robinson, associate professor of journalism, they will provide a more in-depth look into important areas. 74—News Briefs Proficiency test Response to public's concern To further “prove the academic competence of Pittsburg State University’s education graduates,” beginning in the Fall of 1982, a competency test will be required for all students seeking admission to the professional education program. The competency test will be used to measure students’ knowledge of the fundamentals of English and math and will be given at the sophomore level. “We feel the major asset of having Reagan was elected in November, inaugurated in January, and began to put his policies into effect almost immediately. His budget cut hit home to students in March, when work study funds were cut off to several auxiliary enterprises. The shortage occured in January when the minimum wage went up to $3.35 an hour, and no additional federal funding was available to cover the increase. According to Cliff Beougher, university director of business and fiscal affairs, the reason the auxiliary enterprise ac- tivities are being cut is because other departments have no alternative funding. “Had we not taken the auxiliary activities off work study, students in other departments such as science would have been laid off,” he said. Dormitory student employees and those in Gibson Dining Hall fall into the auxiliary category. According to Director of Student Affairs Wilma Minton, her employees will not be affected. “Some years we are allocated work study funds and sometimes we aren’t. We always budget on the basis that we will not be getting any work study funds,” Minton said. Mike Sullivan, Student Union program director, said that the Student Union Board will not be affected either. The money involved is less than $150. The Student Union will be one of the enterprises hit the hardest, said Jack such a program is that it will provide additional evidence of the quality of our students beyond the traditional course grading system and student Overman, Student Union director. He said that the change in funding will cost the Union approximately $7,000. “We cannot cut hours anymore. For the past five years we have been cutting hours in order to avoid having a fee increase. The services have to be performed, and we need em- ployees,” he said. A raise in Union fees has been pending for several years, he said, but because of work study cuts, the raise will come sooner. Another area where the consumer will be paying the price is in printing and duplicating. “We don’t plan to drop any student employees, but we may have to take a loss if we don’t raise our prices,” said Dr. David Vequist, associate professor of printing. Several employers complained about cuts, and that they were not informed sooner. Glenn Robinson, instructor of journalism, said, “The assumption is being made that all the auxiliary enterprises can afford to pay their work study students from other funds and the assumption is not true.” Dr. Knowles, professor of jour- nalism and Collegio advisor, said, “We may lose some good talent as a result, and some students may not be able to stay in school as a result of this, unless they are able to find another job.” Beougher said that it is not known whether or not additional federal funding will be received next year. evaluation mechanisms,” said Dr. Wesley J. Sandness, dean of the School of Education. He said that the program has been under consideration for two years. “It helps some students who had weaknesses they may not have known they had. I think it will be beneficial in the long run,” said Dr. John Barnett, chairman of the curriculum and administration department. “We plan to administer a pilot exam this spring to check the validity of the exam and to make sure we are ad- ministering it right, said Dr. Barnett. He said he feels that 85 to 90 per cent of those taking the exam will pass it. The rest of the students will be helped through additional course work or special writing, mathematics and reading laboratories. PSU educators see the student competency testing program as a response to the public’s concern over the competency of Kansas school teachers. Currently, the Kansas legislature is considering a bill which, if passed, would require all Kansas teachers to pass a competency exam of some type. “All Pittsburg State students are required to have a 2.2 grade point average, and they must have made a ‘C or higher in English composition and speech communications classes before they can be admitted to the school. Students who just meet these criteria are given special advisement, and their academic performance is closely monitored. We then give special counseling to those who display only average proficiency in education methods courses or in their majors,” said Dr. Barnett. Dr. Sandness said, “We are not 100 per cent sure our exam will screen out the students who are not suited to a career in education. The most im- portant skills our teachers should have concern about is their ability to relate to students, how well they can implement an educational approach which will help each individual student maximize their learning potential. No test will ever measure those abilities.” Reagan cuts, students bleed News Briefs continued News Briefs—75 News Briefs The workshops are just one more way to provide high school journalists with experience and training. Workshops provide experience In an effort to generate more in- terest and to help educate area Southeast Kansas high school journalists in the many aspects of the journalism field, a two-week workshop was conducted at Pittsburg State University July 12-24. According to Dr. John Knowles, associate professor of journalism, a similar one-week workshop was offered in the summer of 1980. “The summer of 1980 was the first time PSU had ever offered a workshop in the area of journalism. We had about 25 students participating and the classes that were available in- cluded instruction in newspaper, yearbook and photography,” said Dr. Knowles. “Although the workshop of 1980 was our first, we have had the opportunity to instruct journalism days where area high schools came to PSU to compete in different areas of the media,” he said. Those participating in the 1980 workshop represented about 10 schools from Kansas and one from Missouri. Glenn Robinson, instructor of journalism, and Dr. Knowles in- structed the classes involved in the workshop this summer. According to Dr. Knowles, about 50 students attended. Those students had the option of attending the first week, the second week, or both, if they chose to do so. According to a brochure provided by the workshop coordinators, those participating in the first week had workshop sessions in writing which included such reporting experiences as interviewing, covering speeches, meetings and other stories and writing features and editorials. Although emphasis was put on realistic experiences through doing, attention was also given to theory through learning journalistic writing style and style rules. Other sessions included laboratory work in newspaper production through editing copy, writing headlines and designing and making up pages. The workshop also included a discussion session dealing with journalistic freedoms based primarily on law of mass communications as applied to school publications. The students produced a four-page tabloid supplement to the Collegio in order to apply the newspaper skills and procedures that they learned while attending the workshops. News and photos from the 1980 workshop were included. Those involved in the second week of the workshop participated in sessions in yearbook copy and headline writing. Copy was written as feature material and in magazine- style format in order to achieve a truly journalistically oriented yearbook. The best written stories will be in- cluded in next year’s Kanza. For photographers, the first week of the workshop was designed basically, but not necessarily, for beginners. The second week was mostly, but not exclusively, for more advanced photographers. “Even if one of the students was experienced in the photography field, the first week of the workshop could be utilized as a refresher course. For students with less experience, the basics could be learned by attending the first week and then by moving to the second week, the student could apply those skills,” said Dr. Knowles. The photography sessions included instruction in the use of a camera, shooting assignments and work in the darkroom involving the processing of film and printing photos. The students were required to bring their own cameras, film and print paper. Fees for the each workshop par- ticipant for one week included a double occupancy in a residence hall Sunday through Friday of either week and 14 meals. Breakfast, lunch and dinner were served Monday through Thursday and breakfast and lunch on Friday. The residence halls were supervised throughout the workshop by trained resident assistants with a background in journalism so that they were able to assist the workshoppers with their assignments. All activities conducted throughout the two-week period were supervised by workshop personnel only. Fees included the full cost of in- struction by regular PSU journalism faculty, use of regular university classrooms, laboratories, including publications offices and photo labs, and all supplies and equipment except in the case of photographers. The participants had access to a wide range of university recreation facilities including the university pool, tennis courts and racquetball courts, and were able to attend all student activities such as movies, concerts and plays. Both organized group activities and individual ac- tivities were available. “One advantage that the workshops offered was that the students’ ad- visors were given the opportunity to attend a special session in publications and at the same time, obtain two hours graduate credit. “During the workshop of 1980, advisors attended the workshops in the same way as the students. In our last one, they were given a special session to themselves where more specific instruction could be given,” said Dr. Knowles. The workshops are just one more way to provide high school jour- nalists with extra experience and training before they get into college.—by Jacque Porter 76—News Briefs Terry and Sullivan first envoy to England Exchange broadens views After a series of teacher exchanges and administrator exchanges with Trent Polytechnic in Nottingham, England, the first student exchanges took place in 1980-81. Two students from Trent attended Pittsburg State in the fall semester. No one from PSU went to England that semester, so for Fall ‘81, a total of six students could be sent to Nottingham. According to Dr. James AuBuchon, director of the program, only three students applied, and only two went through the entire process and were accepted. Pat Terry, Pittsburg sophomore, and Olive Sullivan, Pittsburg junior, will be the first envoys to England. Terry is a field biology major, and Sullivan is majoring in English and com- munications. Terry said she decided to apply because she has always wanted to go to England. “I’ve read a lot about it, and I like Irish and English folk music a lot. I’ve never been out of the country, either. Besides, I had a friend who came back from there last summer, just estactic about it, and I was jealous!” she laughed. Terry said she heard about the program from a faculty member who was interested in the faculty ex- change program. She contacted Dr. AuBuchon about it, just in time to become one of the first applicants. Dr. AuBuchon told her that if she could get ail the application materials in at the beginning of the spring semester, she should have a reply by Spring Break. She did, but got no reply until the third week in April. “It was driving me crazy,” she said. “Every day I’d run out to the mailbox to check.” Finally, Dr. AuBuchon sent a telex to inquire about the two applicants, and called Terry at home one morning with the good news that she had been accepted. Professor Cecil Butler, director of overseas studies at Trent, sent the Pitt Staters a “catalog” of the course offerings at Trent. “It’s nothing like our catalogs,” said Terry. “It didn’t make any sense to me at all. We took it to Dr. Christensen, the Registrar, because he spent six weeks over there and we thought he might be some help, but even he couldn’t quite figure it out. He suggested we write a cover letter explaining what we would be taking here, and a little bit about ourselves.” Terry and Sullivan plan to arrive in London on September 15, and get to Nottingham on the twentieth. “We want to travel and see London and environs while we can,” said Terry. The two are also hoping to be able to travel in Scotland and Ireland after the term lets out in December. “I don’t know if we’ll want to go to Ireland, though,” she commented. “With my luck, there will be a civil war going on by the time we get there!” Dr. Jim Diehr, technology professor, spent last year at Trent, while Paul Briggs, an instructor at Trent, took Every year, children from Eugene Fields Grade School in Pittsburg come to Pittsburg State to visit the technology areas in Whitesitt Hall. Clarence Miles, instructor in the industrial arts department, and his students give demonstrations to groups of fifth and sixth graders as a part of a career planning program in the public schools. They use all kinds of materials to show how things are manufactured, and cast molds out of lead, aluminium, plastic, and even chocolate. “I don’t think they used chocolate this year,” said Acting Dean Victor Sullivan, School of Technology and Applied Science. “It is just to show casting as a process that can be used for all kinds of things.” Although the industrial education majors will go on to do their student teaching in junior high or middle schools, this is one more chance for them to work with small children. Dr. Sullivan stressed that this is a service project on Miles’s part, however, and has nothing to do with actual student teaching. “This is just another little op- portunity for them to work with young kids,” he said. his place here. Dr. Christensen participated in an exchange with the Trent registrar for six weeks, and members of the psychology department have also exchanged. Vice-President of Academic Affairs James Gilbert is now trying to establish a similar exchange program with Ulster Polytechnic in Larne, Northern Ireland. Dr. David Oscarson, technology professor, spent the 1980- SI year in Larne, while Alan Turner, Ulster instructor, took his place here. “I think it is a wonderful ex- perience,” Dr. AuBuchon com- mented. “I wish they would have had something like this when I was in school.” The demonstrations have been offered to public school children for about five or six years, Dr. Sullivan said. Outstanding faculty members selected Every year, the student body votes for outstanding faculty members. Tables for voting are set up at strategic points around campus, and each student votes for members of his or her own school. In 1980-81, outstanding faculty members were Rollie Peter, Department of Technology; Dr. Dean Bishop, chairman of biology; Dr. John Connelly, Department of Psychology and Counseling; Richard Jacques, Department of Printing; James Farley, Vocational Technical Institute and Dr. Charles Dellesaga, Department of Economics. Technology students give demonstrations News Briefs continued News Briefs—77 News Briefs Students protest policy Faculty Senate voted on a new with- drawal policy at their final meeting for the academic year. At deadline, it was not known if the policy would pass or not, but if so, students will find it more difficult to drop an unwanted class. “The present withdrawal policy is much too liberal ’ said Dr. Cary Clasz, professor of speech and theater and a member of the com- mittee. “We’ve received a significant number of requests from faculty, department chairmen and the Registrar’s Office to review the current policy.” As it stands, a student can drop a class right up until the last day of classes. From the sixth week through the tenth, an automatic grade of W is given, and after the tenth week, the instructor has the option of giving the student a W or an F. Under the proposal, students have to drop the class within 10 days in order not to receive a notification on their academic record. If he were to drop on the eleventh day of class, WP for passing or WF for failing would be recorded at the teacher’s option. After the beginning of the eleventh week, no withdrawals will be accepted at all, unless the student is withdrawing from the university entirely. Dr. Clasz said that it would help student advisors because they would have some idea of how a student was doing before he dropped a class. Faculty members on the committee blamed the current policy for grade inflation. “Some students would take a class four or five times to make an A while other students can take the class once and make an A,” Dr. Clasz said. Classes also close more quickly when large numbers of students are retaking them. Students who withdraw hurt the grades of students who choose to stick it out because the grade curve is affected. “If D or F students drop, someone must be moved down,” Dr. Clasz said. “The main problem we have is with students who don’t drop until the last day of class. For example, I have five theater students do a scene for a lab, and two of them drop during the last week. This affects the quality of learning,” she said. Difficulties were also a complaint from the Registrar’s Office. They experienced record keeping problems when students were dropping classes at the same time as teachers were sending in those grades. Under the new policy, students who withdraw from the university will receive a WP for courses they are passing and a WF for those courses that they are failing. Dr. Clasz pictures a student academic appeals board in the future, to which exceptions to the withdrawal policy will be expected to appeal, as well as to handle student rein- statements. Dick White, Overland Park junior and Student Senate president, said that the senate wanted that decision to be made by the dean of the school, the depart- ment head and the student’s academic advisor, because these would know the most about the student’s program. Both faculty and students agreed that the new policy would not be put into effect until the appeals process is established. Student Senate expressed concern about the new policy by circulating a petition opposing It. The petition collected 320 signatures, but White decided not to present it to the Academic Affairs Committee at that time because the meeting would deal with alternative proposals. White said, “We didn’t want to pressure them, but all of the members knew of the petition and were aware of student concern. “Students who signed the petition agreed the current policy is too liberal, but they do not want a policy that is excessively strict,” White added. He also said that students need to be made thoroughly aware of the policy if and when it is enacted, so it should not be put into effect until 1982-83. Also, White felt that a new policy should allow more than 10 days to drop without a grade report. “A student should be allowed to take at least one test so he can get a good idea about what the classes are like,” he said. They should be allowed to drop up to the twelfth week, he thought, because drop cards are not sent out until the tenth week. “In this way, they can think about whether or not they want to remain in the class,” White said. For the May 11 meeting, Faculty Senate had the proposal on the agenda, and Senate President Dr. Don Kerle, associate professor of social science, said, “I assume that it will come up for a vote, but whether this will be to pass it, to have more discussion or to amend it I don’t know.” White planned to express student concern before the faculty at this meeting. Change: A change of pace for Pitt State swimmers was a synchronized swimming and dance show put on by members of the synchronized swimming class instructed by Dr. Sandra Bauchmoyer, assistant professor of physical education. The show was presented in the Weede Gymnasium at 8:00 p.m. May 1. Two modern dance routines opened the pool-side show, per- formed to the musical numbers “Too Hot to Trot” and “Too Much Heaven.” The synchronized swimming routines followed, also performed to music. Twelve students participated in the 11 routines. Dale McAtee, Parsons senior and a member of the class, said that the students have prepared all year for the show. The first half of the semester was spent learning basic skills, and the second part consisted of applying those skills to prepare the show. In addition, two aerobic dance routines were performed by Linda Nelson and Nancy Bishop, in- structors of the aerobics class. AN AERIAL LIFT was part of the routine performed to the tune Guys and Dolls.

All of the killer’s victims have been young and black. All but two have been male. Weekly, the residents of Atlanta send volunteers to search the woods, the vacant lots, and the creek and river beds to find clues to the disappearances and deaths of over 20 black children. The news media has shown the searchers searching, the mothers weeping and it has allowed the nation to share Atlanta’s grief. In a sense, terrorism has taken on a whole new meaning for the citizens of the southern city. Atlanta has, in the past, had one of the highest murder rates in the nation. Naturally, every large city has its problems, but the senselessness and wantonness of the Audience turnout for the event was good. One spectator commented, “There was quite a crowd of people there this year.” Participants in the modern dance routines were high school students under the direction of Karen Mackey, YMCA instructor and choreographer: Michelle Jemison, Pittsburg; Shirley Hayden, Opolis; Denise Allegrucci, killings of the most innocent people has filled the city and the nation with shock, horror and disbelief. Most of the killer’s victims have been poor. In more than one instance, a child never came home again from a day devoted to earning a little spending money by shining shoes or doing other odd jobs after school. The cost of pocket change is high in Atlanta for black youngsters. The police in Atlanta were at an impasse. There were few leads, only more and more children missing or dead. Tears of exceptional joy fell Pittsburg; and Cindy Pfiffer, Pitt- sburg. Jill Frechette, Overland Park fresh- man; Janie Viets, Pittsburg fresh- man; Cathy Hunt, Devon senior; Dana Cunningham, Shawnee senior; Jill Marshall, Parsons sophomore; Lesa Ireland, Overland Park junior; and Janet Lawrence, Parsons junior were all members of the class. when a missing boy was found unharmed—-exceptional because everyone knew what fate might have befallen him. Because of the high cost of the special task force Atlanta police created to organize and conduct the investigation, President Ronald Regan announced plans to send the city federal money and the use of the Federal Bureau of In- vestigation to assist the task force. Vice-President George Bush gave an emotional speech in Atlanta when the gift of resources was announced. A reward of one hundred thousand dollars was offered to anyone who could supply information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for the murders. At one point a purported lead developed but later proved to be unfounded. The FBI began to have “com- munication problems” with its colleagues on the Atlanta police force. Meanwhile, the racial barrier began coming down, if only temporarily, in the form of green ribbons. This symbol of unity started in Philadelphia about February of 1981 and quickly spread to both blacks and whites. The color is a symbol of life. Green ribbons appeared on the PSU campus about the same time as they appeared in other places across the country. An outdoor art exhibit, consisting of some twenty-odd small wooden crosses flying green ribbons in memory of the dead children, was displayed in front of the Student Union. The Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity conducted a public memorial service at noon on Wednesday, April 22, 1981, for the black children murdered in Atlanta. The service was coor- dinated by Wichita senior Bobby Gholar. On May 9, ex-heavyweight world champion boxer Muhammed Aii added another $400,000 to the reward already being offered, bringing the total reward to an even half-million dollars for the arrest and conviction of the killer or killers.—by Jim Ab- shire swim class show News Briefs—79 MISSOURI ■flriVERsrr PRACTICING THEIR YELL LIKE HELL pyramid is made much easier for Pat Vaughn, Ellen Kline, Michelle Day and Belinda Provencal when their staff assistant Todd Butler helps out. —photo by Kyle Cleveland wtaff Assistant, commonly referred to as staff ass.; the title evokes many different responses. Staff assistants at Pittsburg State University are multi-faceted. They serve as mediators, disciplinarians, spokesmen, advisors and most importantly as friends. Students who want to be staff assistants fill out applications the semester prior to the semester in which they wish to work. They then go through a series of interviews and a selection process. The interview teams consist of current staff assistants, hall directors and Student Affairs personnel. Fifteen PSU students serve as staff assistants in the residence halls. One staff assistant in Shirk Hall, an all male dorm, is Kevin McCrary, Kansas City junior. McCrary said that the main problems he faces are how to keep some control when his friends come in drunk, and keeping the noise level down so students may study. One method staff assistants have of controlling rowdy students is writing a report which is forwarded to the Student Affairs office. When a student is written up, he or she must appear in front of a student judicial board. The judicial board hears the case and takes disciplinary action. According to McCrary, he hasn’t had to write many reports. “If they lack respect for my authority I’ll write them up. If they want to act like animals, I’ll treat them like animals,” he said. McCrary once wrote up the entire third floor of Shirk Hall, after he had warned them three times. McCrary said the biggest joke related to his job is the rule that if a girl spends the night in one of the men’s rooms she must pay $2.50. “Whenever there’s a girl visiting a guy on the floor, all the other guys start yelling ‘$2.50’,” he said. Bob Sawyer, South Haven junior, is a staff assistant in Tanner Hall, another all male dorm. Sawyer said he had some trouble at first adjusting to his job. “HE’S KIND OF LIKE EVERYBODY’S BIG BROTHER. You can go talk to him at any time about problems and he's in charge of keeping order.” said Pat Vaughn, about her Dellinger Hall staff assistant Todd Butler. — photo by Kyle Cleveland 80—Staff Assistants Friends control dorm life “One night some of the guys were having a water slide on one of the floors. My first reaction was to join in, but I had to put a stop to it,” he said. This is Sawyer’s first year as a staff assistant. He said that he decided to be one because he likes to help people, but most importantly because he is rather shy and thought it would be a good way to meet people. According to Sawyer, staff assistants must work at the hall desk eight hours a week. They also serve periodical weekend duty and must stay in the building at all times, leaving only to eat. “If we leave the building we must tell the desk worker where we are going,” he said. On the other side of campus are the women’s dorms, and a co-ed dorm. Todd Butler, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore, is a staff assistant in Dellinger Hall, the co-ed dorm. Butler feels that the co-ed dorm is calmer than the all male dorms. “My floor is a little rowdier because we have the television, but I haven’t had any major problems,” he said. According to Butler, he took the job as staff assistant because he would be doing the same things as he was doing before. “I have a big mouth and can tell people not to bother me or anyone else,” he said. Butler takes a special interest in the students living on his floor. “If I see a girl who is happy most of .the time, and she suddenly isn’t, I’ll talk to her and make sure everything is alright. It’s important that the students have someone to talk to,” he said. Carolyn Level I, Kansas City senior, is a staff assistant in Nation Hall, a women’s dorm. According to Level I, the Nation staff assistants have few problems with discipline. “Our main problem is unescorted males in the dorm,” she said. “We ask them who they are looking for and will call the girls in their rooms, or we ask the men to leave. Most of the time they will do as we ask. If they don’t, we can call Campus Security and they will come over and take care of the problem. “When I’m working the desk and men come in unescorted I have to yell at them and tell them they need an escort. Sometimes they just take off running and I have to chase them down. I really get my leg work,” she said. According to Levell, staff assistants are paid a salary equivalent to the cost of room and board. “We have our first choice on desk hours,” she said. “I signed up for evening hours, but now I think that mornings or af- ternoons would have been better.” Levell said that once in a while she has regrets about her job. “I have a few regrets when I'm asleep at night and someone is being noisy in the hall. I have to get up, find my glasses and robe and tell them to shut up.” she said. “But, most of the time I enjoy my job. “I feel like this job will benefit me. I have a chance to meet people and get to know them. I think it makes my college life more exciting. When I come back as an alumnus I’ll remember the people and the good times,” she said —by Janet Stites STAFF ASSISTANT Cheryl Leonard discusses dorm regulations with staff assitants from other campus residence halls, —photo by Kyle Cleveland change “It’s probably a combination,” she said. “People just naturally celebrate then,” she said. “Dec. 25 was ar- bitrarily picked for Christmas because they already had a winter festival and they wanted to carry on the tradition. It just gives you a good feeling.” Terry finds herself a victim of the dread disease Spring Fever, however. “I just sit around and do nothing, basically. I feel like getting out and having a cook-out or something.” “Like now, I don’t mind school, but I have an icthyology lab class, for instance. I feel like spending the whole day out seining or something instead of just two or three hours in class. I wish I was already out of school, as a fisheries biologist and doing my work. That’s what I feel like on a nice day.” The winter this year has proved to be very mild, though, causing those who like spring and summer best to rejoice. And those who like winter? Well, they aren’t so pleased. “I feel cheated out of my winter this year,” Terry complained. “We’ve had, what, two days of snow. But look at this—70 degrees on Feb. 20. It’s disgusting! Just disgusting!” Bob Sawyer, South Haven senior, continued on page 84 Seasons bring She faces a bit of a hassle as each fall comes around, however, because Sorrick faces the responsibilities of getting her house ready for fall and at the same time, getting herself and her family ready for school. “It’s not as bad as it was 10 years ago,” she said. “The boys can pretty much take care of themselves now.” That seems like a pretty reasonable statement when you consider that one son is a PSU senior, and the other a sophomore. Her daughter is 15. Another whose favorite season is winter is Pittsburg sophomore Pat Terry. “There is nothing like looking out and seeing the ground blanketed in white,” she said. Christmas is her favorite time of the year, she said, but she couldn’t decide whether it was because Christmas was in winter, or she liked winter because Christmas came then.

The weather varies from year to year, exceptionally hot one summer, exceptionally cold the next. Whatever the weather, someone is bound to be dissatisfied. Part of the problem there is that almost everyone prefers a different season, and different types of weather. Contrary to popular belief, however, several people said that their favorite season was winter. The mass media seem to stereotype winter as a cold, miserable season fit for nothing but sickness and traffic problems. What good do people see in such a rotten season? Louise Sorrick, Arma senior, said, “Winter is my favorite season because I like to be inside and do things that I don’t feel free to do when 1 can get outside and work in the yard. She prepares for fall and winter by giving her house and yard a thorough cleaning, and getting their fireplace ready for winter.

Sickness did seem rampant on campus as students stayed home with the flu. If they did make it to class, it was only to sit there snif- fling, sneezing and coughing. The year’s Bangkok Flu epidemic caused the colds to hang on, too. Flu victims were really sick for only one or two days, but continued to be racked by coughing fits for weeks. Sawyer said his favorite season was spring, anyway, because “it is an awakening of new things.” He added that he celebrates by skipping classes. WORKING ON A PAINTING for a class project, Shannon Kuehn enjoys the early spring warmth.—photo by Kyle Cleveland Sorrick said, I’m ready for spring, but I think I’d be bored to death if I lived somewhere where it was nice all the time.” Then there is summer, the favorite season of the vast majority, although even ardent sun-worshippers found the 1980 summer too hot to handle. Scott Samuels, Pittsburg junior, said that summer is his favorite season because he likes to spend most of his time outdoors. He spends summer days swimming, fishing, water-skiing, or playing baseball and tennis. “I like to soak up the ultra- violet rays,” he added. Rick Sharf, Tucson, Az., sophomore, is another who thinks summer is the best season of the year. He said, “I like warm weather. Cool weather has a tendency to slow me down. Warm weather just makes you feel good.” Terry disagreed, however. ”1 tolerate summer because I like to swim,” she said. “I must admit that the sun shining down on your face is a real good feeling,” she added. Scharf also had some good things to say about winter. He has spent the last four summers working as a waiter in Yellowstone National Park, where he said the weather was beautiful and dry. It DURING AN UNUSUALLY WARM spring day, Joan Riemer takes a moment from her lunch to listen to Donald Sademan as he reads an article from the Morning Sun.—photo by Kyle Cleveland didn’t get above 90, and you can count on snow every month of the year except July. At least 1 got a nice tan,” he said. He said, “I like snow, but I don’t ski. I like to play in it, but I like to go to it instead of have it come to me.” Being from Tucson, he is used to hot weather and temperatures of 115 each day, but he added, “I don’t mind fall at all. I don’t mind cool evenings and cold nights. I sleep better when it’s cold, but I do like a sunny day. “Last summer we had problems with the water level in lakes and rivers, and it was very warm, extra dry, and there wasn’t much rain, not really enough,” Scharf said. Terry has also spent the past two summers away from home, in Colorado. “I missed that real hot summer living it up in the Rocky Mountain cool air,” she said. But her summers weren’t all “living it up.” One year she was enduring basic training at the United States Air Force Academy, and the next she spent working as a lab technician for the Federal Bureau of Land Reclamation in Denver. After such a miserable summer as the Midwest faced in 1980, fall en- tered almost as hot. When students returned to PSU, temperatures of 90 and up still greeted them. Lack of rain continued through the fall and into winter. Farmers who had lost their summer crops due to drought worried about losing their winter ones for the same reasons. One gully washer in November was the only memorable storm, and though temperatures finally got down below zero, it was only for a week. Two inches of snow was about the total for the year, and it quickly melted. Terry lamented, “I look forward to winter, and I never got any snow.” She went on to say, however, 'It’s nice not to have to wear a heavy coat, but I don’t want it to get much hotter than this. Another reason I like winter is because I’d much rather try to get warm than try to cool off. “Winter is snow,” she concluded. “There is no logical reason to want super cold weather, becuase it is nice like this, but snow is so pretty. There is nothing like ice on a river, either.” Sawyer ended with a glum prediction for summer weather. “I’m looking for another summer like the last, really hot for long periods of time,” he said.—by Olive Sullivan THE ONSET OF WINTER was marked by a heavy wet snowfall.

The Ape-Fest started Friday af- ternoon, April 24, and continued through Sunday evening, but plan- ning began almost immediately after the 1980 Ape-Fest was over. Dates for this year’s event were finalized by STUDENTS WERE RECRUITED to do some back up harmonizing on one number by Lindsay Haisley at the April Ape-Fest five hour concert.—photo by Scott Miller November. Friday’s events included a student and local talent show, a pig roast, and a frisbee demo and clinic. After dark, the movie 1941 was shown, and a midnight skate at Skateworld followed. According to Student Union Program Director Mike Sullivan, “I think overall it went real well. There were no major hassles, some minor things, but nothing major.” Minor worries included the tickets to the pig roast. The Alumni Center provided the first 150 seniors to sign up with free tickets, and 35 signed up before the ticket sales were supposed to start. Sullivan said he was worried that they might all be gone in the first day or two, but as it turned out, the last tickets were not sold until the Wednesday before Ape-Fest. Two groups performed at the talent show, as well as several solo acts. Sullivan said there were some minor power outages, but these were easily taken care of. “There were some gaps,” he said. “It wasn’t the con- 86—April Ape-Fest tinuous music we5d hoped for.” He said the frisbee tournament went well, with about 25 people par- ticipating. Two to three hundred people watched the team of two men and one world class dog from Dr. John’s Flying Disc Show perform, he said. Another of Sullivan’s minor hassles was at the showing of 1941. The plan was to show it on the west stadium wall, but due to a mix-up with the Athletics Department, the stadium lights were turned on about an hour into the showing for the alumni football team to practice for Satur- day’s game. “Once they turned on the stadium lights, it just washed the picture out entirely,” he said. In spite of some grumbling from the audience, the show went on. Sullivan recruited audience members to move about 40 picnic tables, and they made a make-shift screen on the wall of the shelter house, using stage props and panels. The audience turned around, and the movie continued after a short intermission. Sullivan said it cut about a 15 minute break into the show. Saturday dawned fair and hot. A 10 mile bicycle race was scheduled for 10:00, but the start was delayed so as not to conflict with the library naming ceremony at 10:30. “It went very smoothly,” Sullivan said. “I un- derstand there may be a bike club formed on the basis of contacts made.” The race was won by Phil Hays, Pittsburg freshman. Arne Brav, singer and guitarist, made his second appearance at PSU for the Ape-Fest. He was scheduled to give a free outdoor concert by the lake from noon to 2 p.m., but he started about a half hour late. Sullivan explained, “He blew a radiator hose in Miami, Okla.” Sullivan added that in spite of the delay, there was a good turn out for his performance. “I’d guess there were about 50 to 100 people just sitting and listening, and we had it set up so you could hear the music continued on page 88 THE APE-FEST BICYCLE RACE was an overall success, in spite of many accidents along the route. Intense competition was the rule.—photo by Kyle Cleveland University while looking at the booths and things,” he said, Brav played a variety of music from light rock to rot-gut country and ragtime. He is one of the most sought-after entertainers on college campuses, Sullivan said. Booths sponsored by various campus organizations were open from noon on Saturday. Sullivan said, “We didn’t get as many organization carnival booths as I’d expected, or arts and crafts. We had 10 organizations signed up, but two were informational.” Booths included a food stand sponsored by Alpha Kappa Psi, a business organization, and a booth selling drinks sponsored by the Society of Automotive Engineers. Both of these operated all day, until about 11 that night when the free concert was over. The Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity and Alpha Gamma Delta sorority sponsored a carnival picture-taking booth, and other booths sold baked goods and arts and crafts. SUB’s Odds and Ends Committee spon- sored an old-time picture booth, where customers could dress up in costumes and have sepia-tone pictures made for $4. “We were a little disappointed in the response to the old fashioned picture booth,” Sullivan said. “It was a little expensive, but the ones in Silver Dollar City cost $9 this year. We tried to keep it under half what you would pay somewhere else.” The major event Saturday afternoon was the alumni football game. Arne Brav’s performance overlapped by about 15 minutes, Sullivan said, but the game had a good turn-out. The east stands were relatively full, he said. One thing he complained about was that there were no an- nouncements during the game, put on by the Athletic Department. During half-time, the Cow Creek Chip Flippers, a local frisbee club, held an exhibition and an Ultimate game. This is a game “kind of like soccer,” Sullivan said, where you can’t run with the frisbee. You just throw it to teammembers, and if it is dropped or intercepted, the other team gets control. The only announcements during the football game were provided by the Chip Flippers at half-time. “It was a little disappointing. There were no programs and no announcements, and I didn’t know who was playing,” Sullivan said. After the football game, there was a break in activities until the start of the five-hour free concert at dusk. People began filtering into the stands at six, the time signs had said it would start, but the show was delayed about 45 minutes. Sullivan explained, “That was my decision. What with everything else we had to plan, I neglected to check on when the sun would go below the west stands. I didn’t want the sun shining in people’s eyes so they’d be squinting at the stage, so I just elected to delay the start for a while.” Lindsay Haisley began the concert with music performed on an electric autoharp. He also sang and ac- companied his music with guitar and Indian banjo. The audience was rowdy, and there was quite a bit of obscenity and drinking in the stands. Haisley let this mood effect his music DESPITE BEING half an hour late, singer and guitarist Arne Brav entertains the crowd during April Ape-Fest activities.—photo by Kyle Cleveland choice. About half-way through his set, he said, “Now, as I see it, this show can go two ways from here. Either I can do some nice, pretty songs, love songs, or I can start doing some real crazy, absurd type songs.” For the last, there was cheering, yelling and stomping, so he started fresh with a song about a massage parlor in Texas. Some people found these songs offensive, and others found the audience members equally offensive. Sullivan said, “I had friends that left because the audience was being so rude and crude. I don’t mind people having a good time, but ... I was disappointed. I think it turned a lot of people off who were just there to hear music. I think we lost a lot of people then,” By the end of the five-hour performance, the audience had settled down, and only about a hundred people remained, Sullivan said the amount of trash left behind was also disappointing. Several volunteers remained to help pick up the worst of the trash, he said, and they filled up eight large trash cans with empty cans. “I was pleased with the cooperation about ACCURACY IS AN IMPORTANT aspect of a Frisbee competition.

The second performer was Mike Brewer, singing songs such as “One Toke Over the Line,” which he co- wrote with former partner Tom Shipley, and accompanied by guitar. His songs were softer than Haisley’s and the audience quieted down when it became obvious that he was not going to let them control his per- formance. The final act was a group called Country Gazette, a bluegrass band from southern California. The four member band includes Roland White on mandolin and guitar; Alan Munde on banjo; Joe Carr on guitar, man- dolin and vocals; and Mike Anderson on acoustic bass, vocals and com- posing. They performed several songs in a wide range of styles, but all with a bluegrass flavor. Sunday’s activities included a car show on the Oval, sponsored by SAE, and concluded with the movie A Funny Thing Happened On the Way to the Forum. Sullivan said the Ape-Fest com- mittee has submitted some recommendations for next year. One of these is that they cut back a little on activities. “From two in the af- ternoon until 11:30 that night on Friday there was something going on every minute. It got to be a little much,” he said.—by Olive Sullivan April Ape-Fest—89 PAINTING CLASSROOMS is usually done when school is out of session and this gives Lemuel Sheppard an opportunity to make some extra money during breaks, photo by Bob Benignus Summer The winter months at Pittsburg State University usually mean a lot of work for the students. Summer is usually vacation time. A few students, though, stick around PSU during the summer just to work. They find jobs in the various offices around campus and at the Physical Plant. Why, though, stick around and work when students could be out having fun? “I’m doing it to make some extra money,” said Lemuel Sheppard, Kansas City senior. GETTING A TAN and making some extra money are two of the benefits Linda Baker has discovered working for the Physical Plant during summer break. —photo by Bob Benignus 90-Summer employment employment helps students “It helps my education financially by making it possible for me to keep my summer cottage here in Pittsburg. I can stay around McCray Hall. We don’t have those types of facilities at home,” said Sheppard. He works for the Physical Plant as a painter. Hal Barnes, Pittsburg post-graduate student, who also paints for the Physical Plant, said “It pays better than anything else in town for this type of job, and the hours are good.” Barnes is married and uses his income to help support his family. “I like the work. The people are nice. We have fun and get a lot of work done, too. It teaches you a skill you can use almost anytime,” he said. “I work here to keep me in school. I’m taking summer classes and I usually work here every summer. There is more opportunity here than at home. I know I have a job,” said Jim Street, Kansas City junior. This is his third summer painting for the Physical Plant. “There is lots of experience available and I have learned a lot. It helps me in my printer-artist major,” said Street. Linda Baker, Pittsburg senior, who works in the flower beds for the Physical Plant, also likes the ex- perience. “I like working outside, that’s really what I wanted to do. I wouldn’t mind doing something like this after I graduate.” She uses the money “just to live “My funds have run dry. I’ll probably be working on campus this fall, too. “I work here basically to save money to go to law school and just for something to do,” said Kathy Lollar, Arma senior, who is working in the Office of Student Financial Aid for the third summer. “I like the work. There is never a dull moment,” Lollar said. She also likes the experience. “I can go to any college and probably get a job in the financial aids office.” Working does not have to cut down on the fun of summer, either. “Not having any academic responsibilities means you can stay out late and don’t have to study,” said Sheppard, —by Chris Bohling • Styles reflect personality C lothing styles, trends and fads were all a part of the Pittsburg State University campus this year as every student added his or her own per- sonal touch to the atmoshpere with their everyday attire. Student personalities and moods were reflected in styles ranging from pastel boatneck sweaters and shirts to khaki and military green colored shorts and pleated slacks. According to Judy Atwater, an employee for Newman’s on the Mall, the newer styles and fashions are somewhat slower in reaching the markets here in the surrounding area than in the bigger cities closer to the North and the East and West Coasts. “In this area, we are usually about six to eight months behind the larger cities, but university styles are definitely beginning to follow suit,” said Atwater, With the onset of the fall semester and those chilly winter months, most of the clothing styles for women seemed to follow darker shades of brown, blue and green in the way of knee-length skirts, dressy blouses and suit and slacks outfits. Corduroy and wool dominated the blazer-skirt look with the ac- companiment of silky, button-down and open-collar blouses. Flat-soled loafers, worn with wool knee-high socks, introduced the first signs of the “preppy image. Mary Kay Schmitt, another em- ployee of Newman’s, said that almost any shoe style can match the ever- changing trends in today’s clothing arena. Flats have been paired with many styles of dresses, especially the peasant look, but spikes and high-heeled wedgies are still holding their own with fashion dresses and the blazer-jean look. Such name brand designers as Jordache, Calvin Klein, Gloria Vanderbilt and Bill Blass prevailed on the jean scene, providing students with apparel choices all the way from “skin-tight” to “loose and casual.” Slacks and dress pants trends have converted to baggy and three pleat KNEE LENGTH DRESSES and three piece suits were very popular this year. Jennifer Gray and Chris Buford take time out from their busy day to enjoy the atmosphere at the Holiday Inn’s Matador Lounge. —photo by Scott Miller styles tapered toward the ankle and shorter in length. The most popular materials for slacks styles include gauze, khaki and cotton. “Pants used to have to cover the top of the shoe. Now that shoe styles have become more important to a women’s wardrobe, they’re shown more,” said Atwater. Clete Schremmer, manager for the Guy’s Shop on the Mall, said that color schemes have been the biggest change in fashions for men. “Pastels, in sportswear especially, have moved into the men’s clothing market almost as much as they have in women’s styles,” said Schremmer. “Jordache and Calvin Klein have pretty well dominated jean selection for men. The most popular styles for jeans include bootcuts and semi- flares,” he said. Although few full suits were seen worn to classes by the male university population, for evening wear, the basic three-piece styles in dark and light blues and browns seemed to have been the favorites. “With spring and the coming of summer, suit materials have leaned more toward tweeds with the linen look,” said Schremmer. Flat-soled and one inch-heeled dress shoes and loafers seemed the most popular accessories to many male outfits. continued on page 94 SUMMER FORMAL WEAR made of light materials keep Sherry Scott and Brad Harder cool by the poolside.—photo by Scott Miller Fashions—93 Styles Fashionable accessories for women’s apparel are many in number. Chains, earrings, pins, handbags and make-up all added to the appeal of most of PSlTs chic women’s looks. Monet chains, of all lengths and in both silver and gold, were draped around pastel V-necked sweaters and Oxford shirts. Amulet holders and necklaces adorned with charms of silver and gold were also worn quite frequently with all types of clothing. Handbags and purses ventured into styles with longer straps, sometimes shortened in length by knots tied at the ends. Their colors were brightened by vivid shades of pur- ples, oranges and greens to match the brightness of summer outfits. Make-up coloring also changed with the times as peach, pink and beige lip-colors took the place of burgundy, FASHIONING THE FAVORITE swim wear of students, Elaine Arellano and Dave Newman take a break from swimming.—photo by Scott Miller STEPPING OUT in the latest spring apparrel are Derik Thomas, Diana Ellsworth, Nancy Parker and Shahla Nikravan.—photo by Kyle Cleveland red and rusty browns. Blushes and shadows are also turning to lighter colors. Frosty blues and greens have replaced the darker brown shadows while blushes have faded to lighter hues of pink and red. “Shorts and summer tops have gone to very bright colors and bigger print designs,” said Atwater. “Shorts are becoming longer, some almost knee- length, and others just a little longer with cuffs,” she said. Swimwear fashions have tended to change to one-piece suits and sheer cover-ups. Suits are being cut dif- ferently and made to fit higher on the thigh. Many also are strapless, with material either extended from the lower half of the suit and wrapped around to tie in the back or with no straps at all. As is evident, clothing will always be a part of any college campus—a part that never ceases to change. Clothing is a very important aspect of a person’s image and provides an opportunity for people to relect their tastes and ideas to others. It’s a means of expression and impression, two areas in which PSU’s campus has never been lacking.—by Jacque Porter A LIGHT PULL-OVER and shorts is the perfect way to begin the summer tennis season.

During the fall semester, there are friendships to renew after a long summer, there is Thanksgiving and Christmas to look forward to and the hustle and bustle of holiday seasons. But after all the excitement students come back to school, and the spring semester stretches out almost endlessly. By March, the campus body is almost resigned to eternally going to class. Then at last, Spring Break is here. For their week-long breakaway, students do a variety of things. Some go skiing in Colorado or the north; young bodies litter the beaches of Padre Island, Galveston and even Florida; others work to earn a little extra money. Some study for up- coming exams, write papers, or do research, not wholly escaping the grind of school work, but with a little extra free time. And for some, Spring Break is a time to go home and renew family ties, or just relax. Dick White, Overland Park junior, went home over break. He enjoyed his visit, he said, since it was the first time in a long while that he and his four brothers have all been home at once. They went out as a group for the first time, went to the NAI basketball tournament, had a shrimp feed and a generally good time, White said. His break wasn’t all fun and games, though. White was serving as Student Senate vice-president in March, and so some of his senate functions followed him home. Tuesday, he went to Topeka to see the legislators. “It was a dual purpose trip,” he said. “I went for the fun of it, but I did a little lobbying for some student views.” Thursday and Friday, White at- tended the Kansas Board of Regents meeting. “They had the Board of Regents meeting during Spring Break,” he complained. “It was real great,” he added sarcastically. White also studied for a test, but, he added, most of his time was spent relaxing, and in time with the family. “It was a Spring Break,” he said. May Luh, Taipei, Taiwan junior, spent her break in Pittsburg. She said that she didn’t do anything special, “just ordinary things.” Vacations present a difficult time for foreign students, she said. She went home to Taiwan for Christmas, and didn’t get back until the spring semester had already started, so she said she spent some time during the break just trying to catch up. But, she added, “Any vacation makes me homesick.” In her English composition class, Luh wrote a paper comparing her home to the United States. “I don’t know any places here, I don’t have a car, so I can’t go anywhere,” she said. “Back in Taiwan it is a lot different.” But, she added that she has been in the States since spring of 1979, so she is making friends and getting used to it. She has a job in the dining hall, but since it was closed over Spring Break, she didn’t have to work. “That’s good,” she laughed. “I went to Hutchinson and worked in the salt mines,” said Clayton Schul, Granola senior. What he really did was not mine salt, but work in storage vaults that have been con- structed in old mining bays. “They use old bays from the salt THE PITS ARE A PLACE where students go to relax and catch some rays. Terri Hoseney and Jack Brown take advantage of a sunny af- ternoon.—photo by Dot Koehler mines, close them off into vaults, and store company records and stuff there ’ he said. The vaults maintain a 68 degree constant temperature and 50 per cent humidity, so they are excellent places for storing perishable or valuable records. He said that there are records from IBM, old films from MGM and Columbia Pictures, and “anyone who is willing to pay to have something stored there.” Schul said that he and the crew that came in with him was assigned to pull boxes for destruction. After 10 years, old records and things are taken out and burned. “We pulled about 18,000 boxes,” he said. The crew worked five days of the break, and the rest of his time, Schul said he worked some construction in his home town of Granola, Although he is a senior, Schul said he will be returning to PSU next year. One student that ventured a little farther from home was Diana Ellsworth, Olathe sophomore. She went to Biloxi Beach, Miss., “right on the coast.” “I’d never seen the ocean or the gulf or anything,” she said, so when a friend who had relatives in Biloxi asked if she wanted to go, she jumped at the chance. The two women drove down, leaving Pittsburg Friday at 4:00. They got into Memphis at 1 a.m., slept till nine, and went on, she said. Once they got there, it was too cool to go swimming, but they got in a lot of sightseeing time. They had planned to take a boat ride to Ship Island, an hour off the coast, but the wind came up and the water was too rough for a small boat, she said, so they didn’t go. Their first day, however, they traveled down the bayou. “It was interesting to see people who live on the river,” Ellsworth commented. One day, she went to Mobile, Ala., to see the Bellengrath Gardens, and the former home of the founder of Coca-Cola Company. “It was I don’t know how many acres of just beautiful flowers,” she said. They took a tour of the house, led by the founder’s former butler. “He was an old, old black man, he was so neat, with so much character,” she ex- claimed. One highlight of the tour for Ellsworth was a tapestry hanging in the mansion. It was a portrayal of George Washington leaning down off his horse and handing one of his men a Coke. About the most exciting time she had, though, was when they went to New Orleans on St. Patrick’s Day. She said they were there for the annual St. Paddy’s Day parade, and “It was really amazing how people just went crazy!” People on floats threw out green beads shaped like shamrocks, and cabbage heads. “I guess because they’re green,” she said. They had their portraits done in charcoal by a street vendor, but he didn’t have a license, so halfway through her friend’s, the police made him move on. They went with him to his studio and had the drawing finished. “We went down Bourbon Street in the evening,” she added. “All the bars were packed, and there were live shows on stage. You would get close to one, and just as you walked by, men would throw open the doors so you could see what was going on. Everyone was really friendly, but I tried not to look inside.” And, the rest of the time in Mississippi, she said, “We ate a lot of great seafood. It wasn’t really any cheaper, but it was all fresh, which made it better. “I might go back sometime. It was pretty neat,” she concluded. “But there are other places I want to go first.” From March 13 to 17, the Campus Artists sponsored a trip to Chicago. Therese Reilly, Algona, Iowa, post- grad student, was one who went along. “It was really a lot of fun,” she said. “We did a lot of running.” The trip, led by Dr, Alex Barde of the art department, included tours of both private and public galleries, to provide a chance to see both sides of the art world, Reilly said. They saw how private galleries are set up, what is being bought, and met some ar- tists. It was good weather, she said, so they did a lot of walking, and met lots of interesting people, “We met a panhandler who said he’d leave us alone if we gave him a dollar,” she said. “We tried to go to a play, but most of us were subsidized by Student Senate, so we had just enough for the bare essentials. Theater tickets were out of reach. The tickets to Evita were $26.” The trip up was by van, 12 Campus Artists, and two foreign students who just wanted to see Chicago. “It was a tight, long trip,” Reilly said. She enjoyed the trip, however, and was interested in seeing varied uses of art. She works mainly in weaving and soft sculpture, with leanings toward drawing and printing. Reilly plans to teach in a secondary school, and perhaps go for a Master’s degree in a couple of years, she said. Another bargain travel opportunity for students was through the Student Union Board’s recently founded Travel Program. They sponsored a Spring Break trip to Padre Island. David McCaughey, SUB treasurer and travel coordinator, said, “We came up with the idea on the first of November. That’s why it cost so much—we didn’t have time to shop around for any cheaper deals.” The trip cost $234, including lodging and round trip travel. “They were on their own for food and beer,” he said. McCaughey said that 23 students and two couples from Girard went on the trip. One girl and her mother went from Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, and were picked up along the way. The group left Pittsburg at 5 a.m. Saturday morning, and the journey took 22 hours, counting stops. They got to Padre Island at 2 a.m. “I think most everybody took a walk on the beach that night after they got unloaded,” McCaughey said. They stayed a half block from the beach in two room villas. On Sunday, nothing was planned. It was cloudy in the morning, he said, but it cleared up in the afternoon, so he laid out in the sun. Monday night, about 12 people went barhopping in Brownsville. It was expensive, he said, and they didn’t eat out much. The villas were equipped with kitchenettes, so they bought groceries on Monday. “I spent $30 on food and beer,” he said. On Tuesday, the group took a trip into Mexico. “We parked the bus on the border and had all day free in Mexico.” The rest of the week was very nice weather, he said, so he did a lot of swimming and running around the beach. “Quite a few people got burnt bad on Sunday and didn’t want to lay out on Monday,” McCaughey said. “I know my legs were bright red I” They got back to Pittsburg at 11:00 Friday night, after an 18 hour trip back. “We made up some time on the freeway,” he said, and they only made two stops, “real quickies.” No matter how people spent their break, it was a welcome opportunity to get away from it all for at least a week. Unfortunately, the leisure time of a week off made it even harder to go back to class on those nice springtime days!—by Olive Sullivan Spring break—97 Students Facing the real world T he Pittsburg State University journalism program may be small, but according to Glenn Robinson, journalism instructor, it offers students some of the best op- portunities and experience available in the journalism field. “One of the most valuable features of our journalism program is the hands-on training our students receive when they work for one of the two publications, the Collegio or the PART TIME SPORTS WRITER for the Morning Sun, Bill McMillen handles various calls concerning sports activities. —photo by Dot Koehler Kanza, while they are attending classes,” said Robinson. The classes offered in the jour- nalism curriculum are geared to instruct students on various aspects and procedures involved in working for a publication. “Every procedure involved in compiling our two publications is actually controlled bv the students. There are advisers for each publication who oversee the work of the students, but for the most part, the decision making, editing, writing, and the assignment of copy is all done by students,” said Robinson. Journalism students are also given the opportunity to work as staff members on the Morning Sun and other local newspapers, Robinson said. “Noel Hamiel, the managing editor of the Morning Sun, and the editors of other area papers realize that our people are qualified and we receive calls frequently for students. Most of the papers are very cooperative in letting us know of any openings they have and we’re very lucky to have the informal relationship that we have with them, said Robinson. Robinson also said that the PSU program differs from other university programs in that its students are paid 98—Morning Sun employees of city newspaper staffs, whereas at the University of Kansas, for example, students serve an in- ternship on a city paper staff without pay. If a student is placed on a city staff without pay, the student may spend all day taking obituaries and is never really exposed to any other type of news writing. When students are paid, their employers are more likely to use them in a way profitable to both the paper and the student,” said Robinson. Bob Benignus, 1979 PSU graduate and full time photographer for the Morning Sun, applied for a position on the Sun staff after he graduated. I worked for both the Kanza and the Collegio when I was going to school and the experience I got from those two publications definitely helps me in the work I do now,” said Benignus. Benignus comes up with photo assignments for the Sun on his own and also those given to him by his photo editor or reporters who need photographs taken. Carla Scassaletti, a 1980 PSU graduate, worked for the Morning Sun for over a year as a result of her ac- complishments on the Collegio and Kanza staffs. “John Bender, who was the editor of the Sun when I was attending school, called Dr. Knowles, my advisor, and told him of a part time position that was open. Dr. Knowles suggested that I go and talk to Bender so 1 did and I got the job. I was assigned to the police beat. I also did obituaries, features and just about anything they had for me to do, I filled in for a lot of people too when they were on vacation or when I had a break from school,” Scassaletti said. Scassaletti is presently working for the Parsons Sun as Today’s Living Editor and obtained that position from a suggestion also from Dr. Knowles, Collegio adviser. Her duties include one page per day, Monday through Friday with a photo page on Tuesdays, and a photo page, wedding engagements and social activities layout in a combined Saturday and Sunday issue. She is required to make the page layouts, write headlines and work with the employees in the backshop in order to make sure the pages are AS FAMILY EDITOR, Nikki Patrick is responsible for laying out pages for the family section.

Krista Postai, a photographer for the Morning Sun, attended PSU for two semesters and worked for the Collegio her junior year. “I was a copy editor and the photo editor and also a photographer for the Kanza, she said. “I don’t know if my experience on the PSU publications helped all that much in getting a job with the Sun, because I had six years working experience and had a pretty good portfolio put together by the time I applied for this job,” said Postai. Postai also said that she was a graduate from the University of Kansas and she feels that maybe her experience there helped her out more. “I just wasn’t affiliated with PSU for a very long time and so I didn’t really have the chance to get real involved like I did at KU. “I also had more opportunity to be out in the world and I was able to do a variety of things,” Postai said. Nikki Patrick, also a PSU graduate, is now Family Living Editor for the Morning Sun. “I was enrolled in a professional semester and was practice teaching when I decided to enter the field of journalism. I went and talked with George Hudiberg and told him that I was more interested in my journalism classes than in teaching and so he arranged to have me talk with Ken Bronson, who was the Morning Sun publisher at the time,” Patrick said. “Bronson happened to have been one of my journalism instructors and he remembered me so I was able to get a part time job doing just about a little bit of everything. “I assisted the Family Living Editor, and after I graduated, I branched out FORMER EDITOR OF THE COLLEGIO, Kurt Beyers, reporter, types a City Hall report for the Morning Sun.—photo by Dot Koehler into feature stories, took over the entertainment section of the paper and eventually became the Family Living Editor and started the column I write now,” said Patrick. According to Robinson, everyone in the PSU journalism program is placed in a job after they graduate. “Our program doesn’t guarantee placement after graduation but I don’t know of any student that has not been placed,” he said.—by Jacque Porter 100—Academics semester.

The library was finally given a new name, dedicated to former university president Leonard H. Axe. A new computer system installed in Kelce Center brought a change to many facets of campus life. The printing department got new equipment that ties in with the main system to make their job easier, and the Registrar’s Office welcomed the new computer-assisted enrollment procedure with open arms. The Financial Aids office came under more student attack than usual, not because of late loans and grants this time, but' because work study funds were drastically reduced about halfway through the spring Academics—101 Professors lead dual life I t may be news to some that professors were not born in front of a chalk board, or with the first day of class’s lecture implanted in their minds and the curve used in grading tests all worked out. It also may be news to some that teaching is not all that these people are allowed to be interested in. Though the job is very demanding, careers in teaching have not limited Pittsburg State University professors to lives of classrooms and textbooks, as certain of these people have demonstrated with their outstanding “dual lives. Dr. John MacKay, assistant professor of music, is but one example. Dr. MacKay spent a portion of his years before coming to Pittsburg State at Juilliard, a music con- servatory in New York City, where he was a voice coach. He said that he also toured from New York to all over.” On tour, he traveled under Columbia Artists and played chamber music on the piano. Among his performances were two recitals at the old Carnegie Hall in New York. “1 performed once in the recital hall and once in the concert hall at Carnegie, Dr. MacKay said. He later played in concerts for the Min- neapolis Symphony (now called the Minnesota Symphony) and for several college orchestras. In addition to playing the piano, Dr. MacKay plays a harpsichord. “I am now writing classical music,” he added. His music has been perfoimed by him as well as others, such as his students, at Pittsburg State concerts and on university tours. Although Dr. MacKay’s talent allows him opportunities to tour, he said 102— Professors professions THE PROCESS FOR DEVELOPING SETS for the play Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is one of the details assistant professor Robert Gobetz discusses with Jackie Pualer during his teaching hours. The second half of his dual life comes when he does local television commercials for area stations, —photo by Scott Miller that he will not professionally further this aspect of his career. “A few years back I played tours in France and England—not as a living, though,” he said. “It’s a hard way to make a living. You don’t put down roots. It’s living in a suitcase. It’s a lousy living,” he added. Dr. MacKay also said that he has no plans for leaving Pittsburg State in the near future. “I’m satisfied as long as I keep learning. It’s a small school but it offers the same as several large schools do. As long as the at- mosphere is conducive to further learning, I plan to stay,” Dr. MacKay said. Robert Gobetz, assistant professor of speech and theater, is another example of a Pittsburg State professor who leads a ‘dual life.’ If Gobetz is not in the classroom, he may be seen on the television screen. Gobetz said that his TV life began about three years ago when one of his students, Mike Taylor, production manager for KOAM-TV of Pittsburg, asked him if he might be interested in doing commercials. Gobetz decided to try the job, which began with a commercial for Joplin’s McDonald Volkswagen. Since that time, McDonald has hired him oc- cassionally to update their com- mercials, and he has taken on commercials for the Kansas Teachers Credit Union and the City National Bank of Pittsburg. His most recent work was a professional ad series for KOAM called “Search for the Seven Seas.” Making commercials “is not as complicated as you think,” Gobetz said. The work itself is “fun”, he said. “The real work is done by the technicians, not the people standing in front of the camera,” he said. If the opportunity arises, Gobetz said he would do more commercials, but he said he has no intentions of pursuing a full-time career with television. He said he is satisfied with teaching, and particularly enjoys directing stage productions.

Ten of the 15 years were spent reporting for the Kansas City Star. “For two years of the time 1 spent at the Star I worked general assign- ments off the city desk in the main office, said Dr. Knowles. “The general assignment work covered a little of everything,” For the next eight years Dr. Knowles worked as one of the paper’s police reporters, then went on to teach high school in Wyandotte County, and to Kansas University to begin work on his Ph.D. He came to Pittsburg State in 1967.

Many students going for their teaching certificates now say they don’t plan to teach, but they want the certification “just in case.” !t looks like there is certainly hope for them all!—by Burl Powell grow with student decrease The sign at the Pittsburg Municipal Airport proudly proclaims “Welcome to Pittsburg, population 21,086.” But according to the latest census reports, the actual population is somewhat less than 18,000. And, with student turnover at PSU, the seasonal count varies too. Whether enrollment at Pittsburg State University increased or decreased during fall 1980 depends upon which figures of the Official Board of Regents Count you con- sider. Dr, Lee Christensen, registrar, said that in actual head count, full time, part time and vocational student enrollment in the fall semester at the university decreased 1.7 percent from fall 1979. In 1980, 5,468 students were enrolled, compared with 5,560 in 1979. But in comparison, Dr. Christensen said, full time equivalency hours increased slightly, by 1.1 percent, 5,468 students were enrolled for 4,603 credit hours. “In FTE we are up.” What this means, he said, is that even though less students attended the university, they carried a heavier academic load. Undergraduates enrolled in fifteen hours, graduates enrolled in nine hours and Vocational Technical Institute students enrolled in 25 clock hours, are considered to be full time students. Vocational Technical Institute student enrollment increased by two students, from 292 in 1979 to 294 students in 1980. International student enrollment dropped by seven percent from 1979. Even though head count is the figure that gets the most publicity, Dr. Christensen said, the full time equivalency is important because it is the figure used by the state legislature to delegate money for the state schools. The university, he said, despite a dropping birth rate not only in Kansas but all across the United States, has maintained enrollment for freshmen. During fall 1980, 1,130 freshmen enrolled, a 10 percent increase from fall 1979, a figure that has increased yearly since 1977. For five consecutive years since 1976, he said, the number of students graduating from Kansas high schools has decreased from 34,200 to 32,600 to 1980, according to figures com- piled by Kansas Higher Education Enrollment Trends. This organization predicts 23,000 students will graduate from Kansas high schools in 1990. Approximately 57 percent of those graduating from high school will attempt college, he said. About 25 percent of those persons will receive a degree. One other factor that has helped maintain enrollment are the non- traditional students, anyone over 21 years old that has returned to school. The Pepsi Generation may be out of school by now, but they, and their parents, are returning for further education. —by Carla Scassaletti More than a nurse “Nursing, for me, has become an outlet for my feelings on caring for other people. I chose it to satisfy this need in me, but also as a way to turn my feelings into actions. The Pittsburg State Nursing Department, now in its second year under Chairman Roberta Thiry, is well known throughout the area for its quality student graduates and its excellent educational standards, according to Thiry. The students are “somewhat better than average, very studious, creative and articulate.” Of the program, she said, “It should prepare them for an occupation, and if they wish, for further graduate study. “It’s small enough to be personal, but large enough to expose students to a variety of experiences,” Thiry added. The curriculum is designed to ac- complish its educational goals in this v setting. Students are required to complete the basic communications and humanities courses, but the similarity to other major fields ends there. All nursing students must finish 23 hours of mathematics and natural science courses, nine hous of social and behavioral science courses, and the 56 hours of professional nursing degree courses. These professional courses are divided into clinical and non-clinical emphases to expose the student to different medical experiences so the student can handle them when they occur. Only the first two years of a nursing student’s college career are spent passing the non-professional courses, but to some students these two years are unbearably long. Michelle Kitch, Pittsburg sophomore, said, “I just want to get past the basics and into real nur- sing.” The desire to work with people gives the eager student an anxious feeling, she said. The need to help people is the most obvious reason for becoming a nurse, but many nurses have higher career ambitions. Lisa Eurit, Pittsburg junior, plans to specialize in pediatrics, the medical treatment of infants and young children. She said, “I really like kids. I love to be around them and want to help them.” Diane Wheeler, Springfield senior, also has plans for career specialization, but in another area. “I’d like to finish my degree at PSU and specialize in anesthesiology. It’s a field that fascinates me, and it’s not bad money.” However, money and fascination are secondary. “Anesthesiologists can pretty well set their own goals. As long as they freelance (set up a practice outside of a hospital staff), they have a fairly independent career,” she said. But becoming an anesthesiologist, one who administers the anesthetics during surgery, is a long and difficult process. First, she must pass the PSU program and the State Board requirements for registered nursing. Then she must spend a year in critical care employment, either surgical or cardiac intensive care, so that she can get the experience she will need for the final two years of study in a special anesthesiology school. Wheeler wants to go to St. John’s AS PART OF THE CLINICAL PROGRAM, Diane Wheeler adjusts a moniter lead placement on coronary patient Tommy Price at St. John’s Medical Center in Joplin, Mo.— photo by Kyle Cleveland Hospital in Springfield for those two years. After that, she can begin her career. Wheeler said that she came to Pittsburg State because she felt that the program offered her more, under better conditions, than did the other schools she considered. “I came to Pittsburg because all of the classes I took in Springfield would transfer, and because I could graduate after only four years with less hassle. I had to wait a semester, though, because PSU doesn’t accept spring semester nursing transfers, so it will really take me about five years to graduate,” Wheeler said. She added, “I have several friends who graduated in nursing from PSU, and they were very high on the program. It is being accredited by the National League for Nursing (NLN), so I knew it was good. “Really, though, I liked PSU best because of its student morale. The students really want to learn, and the teachers want to help them. They try to work with the students and not just push them through a program.” Wheeler also believes in the faculty because they say they learn as much from helping the students as the students do from them. Thiry, too, believes in her faculty, but mainly because of their professional qualities. “We have a faculty from a variety of professional backgrounds with great clinical experience. They are very professional people and as such are excellent role models for our students. They are also very involved in local, state, and national organizations. This is unique for a small school,” Thiry said. Though the nursing students like to become involved with PSU’s chapter of the Kansas Association of Nursing Students (KANS), they sometimes find too much of their time taken up by classes. Wheeler’s basic weekly schedule includes two full days of classes, one day of laboratory work and two more days of clinical ex- perience. This and studying get most of her attention. The clinical is the practical ex- perience the nursing student gets working in the actual hospital en- vironment. The student is assigned to a hospital where he or she will learn basic skills and techniques from the nurses and the supervising in- structor. The supervisor assigns one or two patients to each student, and the students then become partially responsible for their patient’s per- continued on page 108 Student nurses—107 AT THE INVITATION OF PRICE, Wheeler listens to the increased blood flow for use in Price’s renal dialysis treatment. —photo by Kyle Cleveland taking a temperature, but teenage boys love the extra attention,1' she said. Though there are times that the nursing students must perform non- nursing duties, like cleaning, during slow periods, many more exciting experiences also occur for the students. Wheeler told of one such experience during the fail semester, “I was assigned to Freeman Hospital in Joplin and given charge of a 17 year old girl who was pregnant. I was told to be ready to come to the hospital at any time in case she began to deliver or had any problems. “We first went through a series of pre-natal and post-natal care discussions, but from then on we would just talk about her feelings or any problems she was having. Sometimes I even went to visit her at home. “Then, one night about 2:30 in the morning, I got a call from the hospital telling me that she was in labor. I got there in time to be with her in the delivery room and help her through the birth. We talked a little af- terwards, and then I came back. I got home about noon and went to bed ’ Not ail nursing students have to put in as many early morning hours as Wheeler, but the clinical does demand a lot of time. It demands even more for those students who have to commute from Pittsburg to Girard or Joplin for their experience. Eurit explained some common complaints of the nursing students. “The program teaches us so much, so fast, that it’s easy to forget what we are taught or how it goes with a special procedure is being demonstrated in the hospital and our patients are resting, we get to go see how to handle the situation.” Wheeler explained that the nurses follow their patients into places such as surgery and x-ray, where the patient may become nervous. One favorite areas is pediatrics because she gets to see several different ages of kids with basic problems. “Sometimes there aren’t enough patients to give one to each student, so we have to double up on a patient. It looks awkward to have two people BESIDES THE HOURS of clinical training that Wheeler goes through each week, she also attends nine hours of lecture a week.—photo by Kyle Cleveland More sonal care. This includes giving baths, checking vital statistics, assisting doctors who are treating the patient, giving shots and counseling the patient when he or she has problems or just needs someone to talk to. “The nursing staff just doesn’t have enough time or people to give each patient this much attention. When one nurse is responsible for 10 or 12 patients, she can't stop and talk for 15 or 20 minutes to each patient. It will be the same for us when we begin nursing,” Wheeler explained. Most of the time, clinical is just a basic learning experience. The students go to the hospital, spend time with their patients, learn a few new ideas or skills, and then go home for the day. That day lasts between six and 10 hours. “Usually we have one or two patients that we check in on or stay with if they need more attention,” said Wheeler. “If they’re having problems, we stay and talk with them a while. If 108—Student nurses everything else. It would be nice to have more time to let it soak in and stay. Also, we would like to have more choice in enrollment and placement for clinical,” she said. The nursing department has recognized this latter problem and is moving to overcome it. Thiry said that a series of student-faculty rap sessions has been started in order to allow for more student input into the program. In order to do this, the program’s by-laws had to be amended, but the department feels that these steps help to assure the students that their suggestions are taken seriously. The students are allowed to sit in on committee meetings, and, though they don’t have direct decison-making power, they are allowed to make suggestions which are seriously considered when the committee makes its decision. Thiry addressed the problem of too much information learned in too little time from a different aspect. “As forthe long hours of clinical, we work on a three-to-one ratio: three hours of lab work per week for every credit hour earned. Most departments work on a one and a half or two-to- one ratio. We feel that this extra time spent in our lab each week is needed to properly prepare our students for a nursing career. The clinical and lab work are also necessary for cer- tification and accreditation, but it is possible that emphasis upon them could be reduced so that our nurses would have more time for the rest of their studies,” she said. However, because the department is involved with a review of all of its policies and curriculum for NLN accreditation, Thiry admitted that the problem might not receive priority status. She did not diminish its importance, though. “As we look at each part of the program, we will decide if it is in keeping with a well run program. If we decide that it isn’t, we will either revise it or phase it out,” Thiry said. The nurse must spend hours of study in math and science just to prepare for the many more hours of I really like kids. I love to be around them and want to help them. IN PREPARATION FOR Nursing Research Class, Wheeler works on one of several major research papers that are required for each lecture class.— photo by Kyle Cleveland study and work required during the final two years. This student must take on an undergraduate respon- sibility of dealing with and helping people who are in difficult, and at times, desperate situations in preparation for a career of caring for 10, 15 or more people daily. The nursing student, like those nurses already in the field, must be patient, dependable, pleasant and hardworking. The program at Pitt- sburg State is trying to help build these qualities into each student, and, with current revision, the program should become more ef- fective for and responsible to the students who enter it, explained Thiry. The nurse’s drive can be seen in Wheeler’s philosophy. “I am amazed by new developments in healing and am always intrigued by the art of healing and how God set it up,” she said. “Nursing, for me, has become an outlet for my feelings on caring for other people.

Dr. Cornish has lived nearly half his life in Pittsburg, and devoted entirely all his professional life to this university. “The best part of teaching is that you are teaching young people and they keep you young, com- mented the 66 year old professor. In addition to being a teacher, Dr. Cornish is also an author, a researcher, a historian, a husband, and a father. He is currently working on one of the most interesting projects of his life: a biography of Admiral Samuel Phillips Lee of the U.S. Navy. In 1965 Dr. Cornish was offered the opportunity to write the biography, but was unable to do it at that time because he was teaching at PSU and serving as editor of the Midwest Quarterly. During the year of 1967, PSU formed a history department. History had formerly been under the social science department, and Dr. Cornish was appointed chairman of the new department. He then gave up the job as editor of the Midwest Quarterly. Then he began his research work on Admirial Lee. Dr. Cornish and his wife travelled to Damascus, Maryland, where they met E. Brooke Lee, the grandson of Admiral Lee. In 1968, Dr. Cornish went to Prin- ceton University to get the Lee papers which were at the library there. Since that time he has been compiling and sorting information concerning Lee’s life. According to Dr. Cornish, there were approximately 50 archival boxes with papers and letters about Lee at the Princeton Library. He also found much information in the National Archives and in the Library of Congress. Dr. Cornish and Virginia Laas, his research assistant, are in the process of transcribing letters from micro- film, which were exchanged by Lee and his wife while he was serving in THE JOURNEY OF A YOUNG NAVAL OF- FICER who navigated and chartered the Atlantic in the 1750’s has been a research project of Dr. Cornish’s for several years.— photo by Bill Holtom the Navy. “Admirial Lee was born in 1812 and died in 1897. He entered the Navy at age 14 and retired at age 61. He was in the army 46 years and never stopped writing,” said Dr. Cornish. Through his research, Dr. Cornish is reconstructing the life of Admirial Lee. “I am nuts about history. I am fond of Lee and I am in love with his wife,” said Dr. Cornish. Dr. Cornish says that the biography of Admirial Lee will be his crowning achievement. He plans to have completed the biography within the next two years. “Brooke Lee, the grandson of Ad- mirial Lee, is 88 years old and he has been after me to get the work finished. He wants to read about his grandfather before he dies,” he said. Dr. Cornish was born in Carmel, N.Y., on Jan. 11, 1915. He graduated from Carmel High School in 1931, and from the University of Rochester in 1938 with a B.A. in English Literature. From 1938-40, Dr. Cornish taught literature and history at the School ot Related Arts and Sciences in Utica, N.Y.. He then became a reporter and editorial writer for the Putnam County Courier in Carmel, N.Y., from 1940- 41. In 1940 he became associate editor for Andrew Geyer, Inc., in New York. World War II came along, and Dr. Cornish’s journalism career ended. He joined the United States Army in 1942. While he was serving in the army, he met a young woman in Denver named Maxine. “We didn’t even have a date until Janurary, and I had to leave in February. We made a vow to write to each other every day. I figure we were spending about $60-70 on postage each year,” said Dr. Cornish. After he left the army, Dr. Cornish decided to go back to school. He attended the University of Rochester during the spring quarter of 1946. He then went to the University of Colorado, and en route to Boulder, he married the girl named Maxine. Dr. Cornish earned his Ph.D. in history in 1949, then came to Pitt- sburg State University, at that time Kansas State Teachers College, as an assistant professor of social science. In 1957, he became an associate professor, then one short year later moved to the rank of professor. He served as chairman of the Department of Social Science from 1959-61, and took over as chairman of the Department of History when it was formed in 1966. He served in that position up until 1978, when he “I’D RATHER BE A HISTORIAN than be President.” claims Dr. Cornish. Such job satisfaction is what has kept him at PSU for 30 years. —photo by Bill Holtom EXPLAINING HIS FINDINGS from his trip to Maryland to retrieve information on the life of Admiral Lee is Dr. Cornish, professor of history. —photo by Bill Holtom stepped down and resumed teaching full-time. Another highlight of Dr. Cornish’s career was the publication of his book The Sable Arm: Negro Troops in the Union Army. He has also had articles and book reviews published in assorted historical journals including Civil War History, Kansas Historical Quarterly, Journal of Negro History, Journal of American History, Journal of Southern History and Militant Affairs. Dr. Cornish enjoys his teaching and his history research. “I’m getting paid pretty well for doing something that I love to do.

Negotiations were first interrupted following a March 27 meeting when the administration filed a prohibitive practices complaint against PSU- KHEA (Kansas Higher Education Association) with the Public Em- ployees Relations Board in Topeka. “We don’t understand the motivation of the suit nor the intent of the suit,” said Dr. Russell Jones, chief negotiator for PSU-KHEA and assistant professor of music, when contacted after the complaint was made public. PSU-KHEA, instead of submitting only a salary proposal for the first meeting, had submitted an entire package, and requested an ad- ministration reaction before negotiations could go on. Dr. Richard Hay, dean of the school of business and spokesman for the university’s meet-and-confer team, We walked through at least the first half of the proposal highlighting it for them said that a provision in the then- present contract stated any intent to negotiate issues other than salary should have been submitted before January 1, 1980. According to Hay, KHEA submitted the proposal two hours before the meeting and during the meeting We don't understand the motivation of the suit nor the intent of the suit requested a caucus, stating they would not discuss the issues further until the administration made a response to the proposal. Hay said the administration suggested they break for dinner, they did, and when they got back to continue the meeting, none of the faculty showed up. “We walked through at least the first half of the proposal highlighting it for them,” said Dr. Robert Backes, coordinator of the faculty negotiating team and assistant professor of physics. Dr. Jones said the faculty team caucused to determine if the meeting should be rescheduled and the ad- ministration walked out after the faculty had left the room. “They walked out while we were caucusing. We have the right to caucus, we do not have to ask their permission to caucus. When we returned they had left. No agreement had been reached regarding future meeting times,” said Dr. Jones. Also concerning the clause of the contract which limited the negotiations to salary discussion, because of the use of the word “may” in defining the procedure for modification of the discussion, which calls for notification of a modification before January 1, whether the negotiations were limited to salary discussions was questionable. Negotiations did not begin again until June 10. Faculty salaries were the topic of discussion at that meeting, the prohibitive practices deadlock complaint having been resolved. However, PSU-KHEA filed a prohibitive practices complaint against the university, citing procedural issues. Dr. Jones said the complaint centered around the January 1 deadline. “They are using that technicality to avoid bargaining in good faith; that is our position,” he said. Finally, the bargaining groups had to resort to impasse procedure, which is what happens when two parties cannot agree and a third party has to look into the issues and suggest ways of resolving the problems. The administration submitted a proposal on non-salary items in- cluding grievance procedures, hours of work, sick leave, jury duty and retirement benefits. “We were not able to proceed with bargaining until these procedural issues were in the process of resolution; now that the prohibited practices complaint has been filed, we are able to proceed with salary negotiations,” Dr. Jones said. By June 18, the Collegio was able to report that faculty salaries remained the only table issues between PSU- KHEA and the administration. Although Judith Shaw, KHEA president and assistant professor of history, said that two very long sessions had been held, the Uniserv Director of the Kansas National Education Association Robert They walked out while we were caucusing. We have the right to caucus 112—KHEA deadlock Medford reported, “I don’t think anything substantive occurred at the meeting around salaries, nothing that has been referred to me by our people.” However, the prohibitive practice complaint was still an issue that kept bargaining groups at logger-heads. On June 27, PSU President Ap- pleberry asked that elections be conducted within each administrative unit on establishing a committee to revise PSU’s statements on personnel reduction. PSU-KHEA asked that We were not able to proceed with bargaining until these procedural issues were in the process of resolution faculty members not vote, thus allowing faculty to express an in- formal opinion on whether they agree with the university administration or PSU-KHEA on this issue. On June 27, KHEA filed a second prohibitive practice complaint on the issue of voting. On the twenty-fifth, John Lloyd, executive director of the Kansas National Education Association was in Pittsburg to meet with PSU-KHEA members and assure them of state and national backing on the problems they face. Lloyd said, “They are using what seem to be very un- sophisticated bargaining tactics. I consider it a plain and simple case of union busting.” He further said that higher education is the top priority of KHEA. PSU- KHEA believed that retrenchment should be a part of general contract negotiations instead of having a special advisory committee formed, as would be the case under Dr. Appleberry’s proposal. At last, the campus newspaper reported that faculty members would be returning for the fall semester without knowing what changes would be made in salaries. The prohibitive practice complaints were answered by the Kansas Board of Regents, who denied all charges. No progress was made in July. The major issue in contract negotiations was the differences between the university and KHEA on the determination of faculty salaries. The university wanted salaries to be determined on recognition of per- formance quality, while KHEA wanted the formation of a salary schedule which would eliminate subjectivity in the salary process and incorporate checks and balances. Hay said the university feels that such a schedule would destine the school to mediocrity. If put into policy, PSU would be the first of the Regents schools to use such a process. Hay said, “We have concluded that while the parties’ position appear to be irreconcilable, the intercession of a third party may have the potential of bringing agreement before the opening of school.” Jerry Powell of the Public Employee Relations Board was asked to informally intercede in the debates. The contract expired at the end of August, and with KHEA not available for bargaining until September, Hay felt that a third party was the only alternative. In spite of both sides wishing to resolve the salary issue before the beginning of the 1980-81 academic year, the talks dragged on well into the fall semester. By October, the Board of Regents agreed to join KHEA in calling for a federal mediator to prevent further impasse. Proposals and counterproposals went back and forth across the table. KHEA asked for 14 per cent raise of below equity salaries. The ad- ministration refused, and Bob Cruise, from the Federal Mediation and Concilation office in Springfield, Mo., stepped in. Even this could not produce an agreement, however, and by November, the two groups were asking that an official impasse be declared. Some clarification was ac- complished during meetings with Cruise, however. Concessions were made by both sides to reach an agreement on the salary package, and the main hold-up was the question on the university’s grievance process. Medford said, “There was movement in salary talks. However, the university wanted no grievance ac- tions to be allowed on any faculty decisions. On salary we could not accept this, but we compromised and said that KHEA would grieve if salaries did not meet the agreed upon seven per cent increase.” What eventually happened, ac- cording to Dr. Thomas Walther, professor of history and 1979-80 vice- president of PSU-KHEA, was that KHEA did not stop the university from unilaterally giving out salaries. It was not until February, however, that the agreed-upon increase was added into faculty checks, he said. “We actually never came to an agreement last year at all,” Dr. Walther said. “For some of the hearings on last year’s non- negotiations, I guess you could call it, the testimony has just stopped.” This was in May, right before the end They are using what seem to be very unsophisticated bargaining tactics of the 1980-81 academic year. He added that according to the ad- ministration there was no agreement, but that as far as KHEA was con- cerned, the agreement for 1979 was still in effect. “We are just now beginning the same thing for this year,” Dr. Walther concluded. The PSU chapter of KHEA has gone through a name change in the process, also. Dr. Walther said that instead of being under the Uniserv district of KHEA, they have moved into the Kansas National Education Association (KNEA), the same Uniserv district as teachers in the Pittsburg public schools of USD 250. —by Olive Sullivan KHEA deadlock—113 A Just getting by There is a very special house in Pittsburg at 107 W. Billings. The fence in the front is made to look like huge crayons and the backyard is filled with swings and slides and other things that the pre-school imagination can turn into anything that is desired. The house is empty overnight, but at 7:15 in the morning the Campus Day Care Center begins to fill with children. The Campus Day Care Center was started in 1973 and at that time was located in the Horace Mann building on the Pittsburg State University campus, then moved to the Billings address in 1975. The center is a home for 18 pre- school children during the day, over half of which belong to PSU students. The child’s day is indeed a full one. The day begins at 7:15 in the morning and the toddlers have an open play period until breakfast is served at 9 a.m. After the morning meal the day is filled with a number of different activities. For example, there is a circle time, a singing time, the in- troduction of the letter of the week, show and share, art-room time, lunch time and of course, nap time. After the afternoon nap, the time in which the center workers get their break, the childern wind out the day with a physical education period and a manipulative play period. Does this sound like a full day’s work? Maybe not for the children, but it is for the day care center workers. “In a recent study it was proven that stress in the day care center in equal to that of people working in an in- tensive care unit,” said Marilyn Green, the administrator and program A GOOD EYE AND A STEADY HAND, that’s what makes up a good artist. Christy Vaughan takes her turn to paint as she concentrates on her picture of a hippopotamus.—photo by Scott Miller director of the center, with a smile. Even with this the workers seem to enjoy the job. In a way it is more than a just a job. Since some of the children are at the center from the age of two until they are old enough for kindergarten, they become almost like family. “We get to know some of the children very well,” said Green. “We have birthday parties for them and everything.” Probably the most important service rendered by the day care center is that given to Pittsburg State University students, whose children mainly populate the center. “I’m an unmarried student, so I have to have someone to take care of my child,” said Jane Adney, Buffalo junior. She added that she was divorced last year, and left with custody of her four year old daughter. Adney also praised the educational experience for her daughter. “Before the divorce, she didn’t talk much, and now my parents can’t believe the difference,” she said. The child has become more outgoing and able to relate to other children better, as well as improving her speech, Adney added. Green agreed. Most of the educational experience at the center deals with the socialization of the child, the ability to interact with others, she said. Also, they use a type of kindergarten readiness program where they teach the tod- dlers the alphabet and how to count. Even though the children of Pitt State students increase the center’s enrollment during the academic year, WHO ELSE BUT A KID could be amused by the simpler things in life? Certainly Billy Dugan found something worth stopping and looking at in this old car tire.—photo by Scott Miller WHEN THE WEATHER IS NICE, part of the children’s morning time is spent in the backyard playing. Jason Limemberger runs off to find some mischief to get into while head teacher Anita Thiolet is kept occupied by Megan Green and Rianne Ferrel.—photo by Scott Miller they also decrease the enrollment during the summer and holiday break periods. The students vote to give the day care center 25 cents of their tuition fees, and according to Green, this is what keeps the center running during the absence of the students’ children. “When the slack in the summer hits, the 25 cents from tuition fees really helps,” she said. The center charges $6.50 a day, reasonable rates, considering that the average babysitter charges upwards of a dollar an hour. “The center needs the support of the university to keep going,” said Green. But some students also depend on the center, Adney said that without the center, she would have to hire a babysitter, and things would be a lot tougher. “Title 20 is helping me pay for it now, otherwise I’d have to do it on my own,” Adney said. “I’d be in bad trouble.” Title 20 is a government sponsored program. The center is just barely getting by, and the new Reagan administration is planning to cut 1.6 billion dollars from the child nutrition programs, according to Green. The nutrition program gives funds to the center, so these cuts will definitely hurt. “As long as we can keep the enrollment to a full capacity we will just be able to get by, Green con- cluded, “by Burl Powell Day care—115 teach Students who it i I t seems like high school has changed so much since I was in school. I guess it hasn’t, but I’m just on the other side of the desk,” said Brenda Collins, Mulberry senior, of her student teaching experience at Girard High School. This year, the university will graduate a large percentage of seniors as qualified elementary and secondary teachers, as has been the case for the entire period of the teaching program at PSU. These students have followed a four-year program which has prepared them for a future career in the teaching field. The basic teacher education program consists of three elements: the pre-professional laboratory ex- perience, the professional semester of student teaching, and the university preparation which covers the entire four-year period. The pre-professional lab puts the student into an area school during his or her sophomore or junior year so that they can observe and aid a teacher and learn from a teacher’s point of view about the profession. The professional semester is designed to put the student into a classroom atmosphere with the responsibilities of a full-time teacher in a public school system. The student is required to prepare for and teach classes under the supervision of a cooperating teacher in the system and a university represen- tative from the education department. The university preparation a student receives depends greatly upon which level the student plans to teach— ONE OF THE DUTIES Tim Simpson has for his pre-professional semester is supervising the lunchroom while his class eats. —photo by Dot Koehler elementary or secondary—and upon the department’s requirements for teaching certification. The pre-professional laboratory is the first real experience with the teaching profession that the student has. Dr. Reid McKinney, professor in the Department of Curriculum and Administration and director of teacher education, commented on the experience as being rare and helpful. “We began the pre-laboratory ex- perience when the experimental schools were closed. We began it with the belief that the student should get out early into the classroom atmosphere before his senior year of student teaching. “There are two main objectives of the pre-lab experience: first, to get the student into the teaching ex- perience early; and second, to help the student to be sure that teaching is a career that he wishes to pursue. Too many students find out in their student teaching semesters in other university programs that they do not really want to teach, but they are in their senior year and cannot easily change majors. The pre-lab ex- perience gives them the opportunity to confirm that they want to be teachers or to redirect their careers without major problems,” McKinney explained. Though primarily sophomore students are involved with the pre- labs, many transfer students begin their experiences during their junior year. Lori Menze, Cozad, Neb., junior, began her preparation at Pittsburg High School observing an English class. “My pre-lab has helped me to find out how kids think today,” Menze said. “I forgot how students like to stray from whatever subject they are discussing and talk about anything else. I was also surprised to learn how much they really don’t know,” Menze continued. Menze did find high school teaching enjoyable, but she warned, “Don’t expect any two days to be the same. The kids seem to change with the weather.” 116—Student teaching Susan Quier, Pittsburg sophomore, observed a kindergarten class at the local Lincoln Elementary with an optimistic viewpoint. “My pre-lab has helped to confirm that I want to teach because I really like kids and want to be around them,” Quier said. Quier also learned that the preparation she has had at the university can be a blessing or a curse. She commented, “though I haven’t learned a lot yet, I know that my classes can both help and hurt my teaching. On one hand they give me the information I need to be able to teach my students what they need to learn. “However, they can also limit my imagination so that I think that there is only one way to teach the in- formation I learned—the way my teachers taught me,” Quier said. According to Quier, both the teachers and the students are fun and easy to deal with. “I found that my teacher had very strong and effective methods of teaching and that she was very friendly and easy to work with. But I liked the kids the best because they really appreciate and respect you at that age, and they love to come up and give you a big hug.” Quier did find a few less enjoyable aspects of the experience. “I would have liked to have had a reading class before I went so that I could have been more helpful to the students. Also, there were a few bad days when the kids were very rowdy, but no more so than we were, I guess.” The professional semester is the next and usually last experience that the student has before entering the teaching profession. McKinney explained that the strength of the PSU program lies in the professional semester itself. “The semester is a full-semester experience off-campus which puts the student in the field, teaching under conditions which are as close to the real thing as is possible. Most programs have the students spend half of the semester in classes at the university before they go into the classroom to teach. Those students teach only about half of the semester in the cooperating school. “We feel that half a semester just isn’t long enough to get the student oriented to teaching a class. He or she isn’t in the classroom long enough to learn what teaching is really about. That is why our students spend almost the entire semester in the cooperating teacher’s classroom,” said McKinney. Collins, student teaching psychology at Girard High School, found that her four years of college study prepared her well for her teaching experience. “I think that the classes which helped me the most were the ones which taught me how to prepare lesson plans and to plan ahead for the semester. They helped me prepare for the times when the students were not in the mood to discuss the subject we were covering so that the whole day wouldn’t be lost,” Collins said. She felt, though, that more time needed to be spent at the university preparing the student for the classroom experience. “I think that we need to spend more than just the one day per week for seven weeks at the first of the semester discussing what we will find in the classroom. I would like to have had more orientation in what to expect once I started teaching than we got,” Collins explained. Her main reason for this was the common discipline problem that most student teachers face. She said, continued on page 118 TESTING KINDERGARTENERS on the ability to recognize capital and lower case letters is Susie Quier. —photo by Dot Koehler Students “The discipline problem really bothered me. If I had known, I might have been more at ease and handled the situations better. “I guess that because the situations are so different from one class to another and one day to another that no one can write a book about discipline to help us,” Collins said. Elaine Bryant, a cooperating teacher at Pittsburg High School, explained the discipline problem of student teachers. “High school students want the student teacher to act like a teacher, not like a student. The reason that most student teachers have problems is that they try to get the students to like them by not disciplining them as they should. The high school students resent this from their teachers and ultimately dislike the student teacher for doing so. “The best student teachers are the ones which mean business and let the students know it,” Bryant con- cluded. After her experience with student teaching, Collins concluded, “There are a lot of bad and good times, but a student teacher should just hang in there because it goes by really fast.” Charlotte Hofer, Walnut senior and student teacher in the third grade at the local Eugene Field Elementary, also was happy with her professional semester. “It was full of many ex- periences, and nothing was the same each day. There were changes all the time,” Hofer said. Hofer was pleased the most with the experience she got in the field. She said, “I loved being with the kids and getting to know each one personally. “The cooperation I got from my teacher, the school personnel, and the administration was very helpful to me this last semester. It was good to know that you always had someone else in authority who would stand behind you when you needed it,” Hofer explained. Hofer found that there were many things that she learned through her student teaching that were not shown to her in her university classes. “This semester has taught me more about managing the classroom, WITH THE TEACHER AWAY for four days, Charlotte Hofer finds out what it is like to be in charge of a class of lively third graders. — photo by Dot Koehler 118—Student teaching giving directions, and explaining things than I ever could have learned in just the university lectures. There is no way to synthesize the actual classroom atmosphere in a college setting. You just have to be out there with the kids,” Hofer explained. Even so, Hofer did believe that there were a few areas that could have been better covered by her teaching methods instructors and her supervisors. “I think we really need a class on discipline and classroom management. We aren’t really taught anything about it at the university, and it would help any new teacher very much to know more about what to expect and how to handle what does arise before we are sent into the real class,” Hofer commented. But, with all of the practical problems which might occur in any program, the Pittsburg State Teacher Education program is still very strong, according to McKinney. “One of our strong points which is rare among teacher education programs is that we have a university- wide commitment to an effective training curriculum. This means that, across the campus, each department offering a teacher training em- phasis—which happens to be almost every department on the PSU cam- pus, another rarity—is dedicated to maintaining a high set of standards in producing high quality graduates. “This campus-wide policy is the sort of ‘we’ commitment which will produce a quality program which is one of the strongest in the state,” McKinney continued. He said that not only were the department programs themselves very strong, but the personnel within the Department of Curriculum and Administration were extremely well qualified to supervise the PSU program. “Each of our university supervisors has a doctoral degree. The super- visors are professionals in super- vising student teachers, and not just a set of professors hired to watch students in public schools. They are very well qualified to help each student teacher to become the best teacher he or she is capable to be,” McKinney said. The supervisors are an integral part of the future teacher’s education, as McKinney has pointed out. However, the university professors in each student’s major field are the base upon which the student must build experience. Dr. Joyce Moyers, In- structor of English and one of the teaching methods professors of English, was recently able to view the real classroom atmosphere again during the spring semester. Moyers commented, “It was something that not many methods teachers get to do often. I taught one semester hour of English each morning at Pittsburg High School this last spring and found the knowledge I gained of what will and what won’t work to be invaluable. I am now able to mesh theory and practice from a first-hand viewpoint. “I have had a high regard for the overall program here at PSU in teacher training, but now I have been able to see that what has been taught to the student teachers really does work,” Moyers continued. “If there was one thing that could be done which might make the program even more effective, it would be to increase the communication between the university staff and the employed teachers themselves. Such an action might be able to eliminate almost all of the real problems which occur between what the student is taught at the university and what he or she learns through the professional semester,” Moyers concluded. Since PSU was earlier a teacher's college, this overall dedication to teacher training is not surprising. What few people consider, however, is that this dedication has been maintained all along, even through two changes in university name and status!—by Stephen Jones PITTSBURG RESIDENT Jack Loften, commutes 40 miles daily to Girard High School where he doubles as shop supervisor and softball coach. —photo by Dot Koehler Repairmen are backbone The Physical Plant is not usually thought of as a major feature in University life. Very few students even realize that this one part of the institution is what makes everything else run so smoothly. Without the Physical Plant and its personnel, things could just fall apart. Larry Nokes, Physical Plant director, said, “The terms physical plant and support personnel don’t mean much to most people, unless they’ve ac- tually worked here and seen just how much we do. We take care of anything and everything that has to do with maintenance and support services on PUTTING THE FINISHING touches on his painting, Ray Nims, Physical Plant painter, completes one of the many painting jobs on campus, —photo by Dot Koehler campus.” There are 15 supervisors, one at the head of each crew, and crews do everything from housing maintenance to taking care of plants in the greenhouse between Whitesitt and Hartman Halls. All total, there are 130 full-time workers under Nokes’s jurisdiction, ranging from supervisors to secretaries in the main office. Most students only come in contact with custodial services, and if they do encounter others, it is only to complain about the inconvenience caused by repairs or remodeling. But there is a lot more to ensuring the day-to-day operation of a campus. Nokes said, “It’s hard to understand just how much work this entails.” He explained that for the trades areas— electricians, carpenters, painters and so forth—a work order must be made out for each job. Over 10,000 work orders are sent out in the course of an academic year for trades personnel alone, only five of the several areas covered by the Physical Plant. This also does not include major remodeling work, or work such as the summer’s move from Carney Hall. Everything was taken out of the building, lab tables and so forth had to be unbolted and moved to the new facilities on the East Campus. Assignments like these take lots of people and lots of time. However, some remodeling, such as the History Department had done this year, is not done by Physical Plant personnel. The remodeling in Russ Hall was contracted out by the school. Nokes explained that the Board of Regents allocated operating budgets for the plant, but whether or not they do a job often depends on the size of the job, and how much time they have available to do it. Normally, there is no charge to various departments for Physical Plant services, but, Nokes said, “We don’t normally have a budget that can handle carpeting in every building across campus. If they want car- peting, unless there is a special major remodeling budget allocated for the Physical Plant, they pay for it themselves. “There are an awful lot of one-of-a- kind things that our people take care of,” Nokes said. For example, the Physical Plant runs the U.S. Weather Service on campus. This is the place local TV and radio stations call up for weather reports. Someone also puts up the flag in front of Russ Hall each day. “These seem like very minor things,” Nokes said, “But they’re just examples of the hundreds of things people take care of as part of the routine of the day.” All of the full-time staffers at the Physical Plant are permanent civil service employees, but Nokes said students are also hired on work study contracts. In the academic year, approximately 15 to 20 students are hired to help out as custodians, do clerical jobs, work in the mail room, and help with maintenance. In the summer, about 40-45 students are employed, and one or two are sent to each trade area. More students are also employed as grounds keepers during the summer months. In addition, there are seasonal appointments to fill in during an emergency, or provide extra grounds help during the summer months. The maintenance areas include plumbing, electricians, carpenters, painters, welders, sheet metal workers who bend and reform metal for ductwork in remodeling, refrigeration and air conditioning mechanics, masons, power plant operators in the boiler room, garage personnel who include mechanics who care for the University’s car pool, equipment operators, grounds people who include gardeners, laborers in grounds crews, and street repair crews, storeroom people, and a few one-of-a-kind jobs such as the ac- count clerk, Hazel Vermillion in the mail room. Other areas include general services, the people who deliver freight across campus, the housing maintenance staff who work in the residence halls and the married student housing on the East Campus. There is also an electronic control center mechanic who runs the computer that controls the steam valves and air handlers across campus, a Physical Plant supervisor, a clerk-typist, and four general maintenance and repair technicians. — by Olive Sullivan TAKING A BREAK from his custodial duties in the Student Union, Bud Kautz reads a discarded magazine in his supply room, —photo by Dot Koehler Support personnel—121 Almost anything rhotographic Services is one branch of the Pittsburg State In- structional Media Center. Included on a separate business account, but more or less as a part of photo ser- vices, is Graphics Design Services. Two men staff these areas: Larry Long, photo services; and Rod Dutton, graphics. The two work in a large office in Hartman Hall, with drafting tables, desks and filing cabinets cluttering the perimeters. Cabinets and counters extend into the main office area, but still it is large and spacious. There is a separate darkroom at one end for Long’s use. Photo services is set up as an in- dependent agency. £As far as photography goes, I do practically anything,” Long said. “Anything” includes coverage of special events, portraits, passport photos, plus materials for classroom use, “A great deal of what we do is PREPARING A SLIDE SHOW for the University Is about the only time that Larry Long, photo services, and Rod Dutton, graphics, work together on projects, —photo by Dot Koehler making graphics for visuals in classroom use,” Long said. They do slides and transparencies for use with overhead projectors on an on-service clearing basis through Instructional Media, and sometimes through the Printing Department. The charge for services is mainly a matter of college bookkeeping, Long said. They don’t charge for everything they do, but transparencies and other materials for instructional use are paid for through the department that requests them. To carry out an assignment, Long must get authorization from that department chairman, to be sure the department is paying for it. Then, he said, it is mainly a matter of scheduling the date, time and place. He also needs to know whether it is to be black and white or color, and whether the end result is to be slides, prints, or a publication. All this must be taken into consideration before going in to shoot. Another semi-annual function of photo services is taking portraits for photo identification cards at each enrollment. Almost every student has come in contact with this process at one time or another during their university career. “Slide presentations take up quite a bit of our time,” Long added. “We don’t do that many, but they are time consuming.” The University President presents a slide presen- tation to the Ways and Means Committee every year. Long said he and Dutton work closely on the slides since both graphics and photos are used, but at other times, they work separately. “Most of the things I shoot are fairly routine, Long said. Dutton reminded him of one time he had to take movies from a ledge outside the Besse Hotel. Long said that that was one of his most unusual assignments. The Speech and Theater Department was doing a production of “Superman,” and wanted Long to take some overall shots of downtown Pittsburg. “We ended up on a little ledge near the top of the Besse Hotel. That was a bit unusual!” Long said.

I’ve had to take pictures on the roof of almost every building on campus at one time or another, but I don’t enjoy it.” Pictures must be taken on occasion for the Physical Plant to show conditions of various roofs. Dutton’s work consists mainly of doing graphics and designs for various campus publications. He has designed the covers of several past Kanzas, and the class schedule covers. Dutton also designed the new logo when Kansas State College became Pittsburg State University. Dutton said that sometimes a client will have a specific idea for the drawing, and he is simply required to execute the ideas. “At other times, a client will have a general impression and leave it up to me to visualize something,” he said. “For the class schedule covers I am asked to do, I visualize something concerning, for instance, spring. They approve it, and we go from there,” Dutton said. He always shows his clients a sketch first, so they can approve his design. “I’ve always appreciated the fact that I’m allowed quite a bit of artistic latitude,” he said. For a more technical drawing, Dutton needs specific details. There are a number of factors to consider time-wise. First, how ambitious is the project? Next, how much time is available for com- pletion? Dutton said there is really no way to say for sure how long an average assignment will take. “What we actually do is provide a client with an estimate sheet.” They fill out a job description, and Dutton has a conference with the director of photo services. When the design is approved by the department, he takes the job from there. “This piece of paperwork is meant entirely to make things easier, not only for the client, but for us,” Dutton said, —by Olive Sullivan CONSIDERING HIS SHOT carefully, Larry Long of photo services covers the Carney Hall razing.

That may be a slight exaggeration, but it is true that almost everywhere you look, the computer is coming into its own. Computers operate everything from timed microwave ovens to massive corporation communications. Pittsburg State University has had a computer system since January of 1974, according to Dr. Felix Dreher, chairman of computer science and information systems. This year, the old IBM system was replaced by a PRIME Information System 5000. PRIME spells their company name with a number one instead of an I because one is a prime number, according to Robert Keith, director of management information systems. Keith said the PRIME system is actually a group of separate pieces, including a PRIME 750 computer with two cathode ray tube (CRT) GETTING PROGRAMS TO RUN seems to be the students’ major goal with the new University computing system.—photo by Alan Ford terminals, a 300 megabyte magnetic disk drive, and a magnetic tape drive. The system is totally interactive, Keith said, meaning that it relates to the user of the system entirely through the use of the terminals. All communications with the computer are carried out via CRT. “The main advantage of this is that no longer are people required to submit computer card jobs to the computing center. Users can process their own programs without our interacting,” Keith said. In addition to several new program compilers, Keith said they are replacing all major administrative systems. The IBM student in- formation system was replaced on the PRIME computer. The PRIME equipment was installed in August, 1980, and offered for student use for the first time in the 1980 fall semester. In September, a new alumni administration system was installed, and by the end of the semester, work was begun on the installation of the new student in- formation system and admissions system. Twenty-nine CRT terminals have been installed across campus, with plans for 44. Six printer ter- minals have also been installed at various campus locations. Keith said future plans for the system include the addition of a terminal located in the president’s complex. This will be completed when most of the new administration systems are installed, it will be used mainly by the chief administrators to keep a pulse on various ad- ministrative processes that use the computing center’s systems, Keith said. The new PRIME system was used for the first time as part of the enrollment process. Beginning with spring ‘81 pre-enrollment, it was tested with students whose last names began with B, K, and R. Keith said these students were chosen because they represented almost exactly 25 percent of the student body. “It was a good size to start with, we thought, since it was a known sample,” he added. The system was also used for the same students for regular enrollment in January. Adds, drops, grades and fee assessments were parallelled for these students throughout the spring semester. “We plan to go ‘live’ on student registration beginning with pre- enrollment for summer and fall of ‘81,” Keith said. In addition to the convenience and flexibility of the system, the PRIME capacity is about four times that of the former IBM system. Plans are to have completely switched over to the new system by 124—New computers campus January of 1982. “Our plans are to have converted the entire system from IBM-, but we will use it as an auxiliary back-up for storage and particular jobs,” Keith said. The PRIME system is “networked,” which simply means that it can communicate with the IBM system, as well as with computing equipment in various other departments. The printing department acquired new computer-based equipment this year. The Compugraphic typesetter and video display terminals (VDT) are used in the composition area of the printing department. New equipment included a phototypesetter and six VDTs using floppy disk storage. Each disk holds the equivalent of the novel Jaws, according to Robert Roberts, associate professor of printing. Roberts said that the new equipment supplemented what they had, but was a completely different system. Before, they were limited to paper tape, which couldn't be corrected easily. Now, material can be corrected on the screen as it is typed onto the terminal. Before, they had to wait until the copy was run off on paper, then cut out the errors and paste in corrections by hand. “This eliminates almost all cutting in,” Roberts said. Mistakes are also caught more quickly before being run off. Paper tape is also much harder to store. The printing department owns an off-line system. In an on-line system everything is cabled together, so that you can send material from one terminal to another. With the system they have, the floppy disk has to be moved everytime you change the equipment you are using, from one terminal to another, or from the terminal to the typesetter. Roberts took a year to research what equipment to buy. He consulted continued on page 126 CHECKING UNIVERSITY PROGRAMS Is one major job of Fran Willauer, administrative programmer. —photo by Kyle Cleveland New computers—125 New Keith about which features would be necessary to let their equipment interact with the PRIME computer, Roberts said he ended up with a foot' high stack of material about various systems. He had started out planning to buy a small on-line system. “In fact, 1 told the Compugraphic salesman he didn’t have anything I wanted. He convinced me he did,” Roberts said. The systems he decided against were basically newspaper systems such as used by the Collegio and Kanza, as well as by The Pittsburg Morning Sun. Roberts uses the equipment for class assignments, as well as for a large variety of work for the University. The department publishes booklets, brochures, and tabloids for the school. They still have to be pasted up before they can be printed, but not as much paste-up is needed. “With any luck, we can do an entire job without paste-up,” he added. An additional feature of the printing equipment is the ability to read from mag cards. Formerly, the client had to type up the copy, bring it to the composition area, where it had to be re-typed and finally set. With a mag card reader, the client can type it up on IBM cards on a mag tape typewriter, and the tape will transfer the information directly to the disks, “If you could bring us the mag cards, we’d not have to re-enter the strokes, and a lot of time would be saved,” Roberts said. Keith said testing various ap- plications of the interaction between PRIME and the printing department’s system began in December. PRIME can create text information and transmit it directly to the Com- pugraphic typesetter. He said that hopefully, by the end of June 1981 they would be able to print the course catalogs using the interface between systems. “Hopefully, in the future we can enter from any terminal on campus directly to our equipment,” Roberts said. With the addition of the Compugraphic system, the depart- ment is entering the word processing field. They can communicate with almost any word processor in the world, Roberts said. Along with a new press purchased by the department, this equipment is very valuable to students’ hands-on training, an aspect of education that is becoming more and more im- portant, Roberts said. He said he sits students down at the terminal and they put data on the disks and set type from that. He uses tapes which they listen to, and follow the in- structions. Roberts said it takes three to four years to get equipment like this. He first had to request it from the department, who requested it from the school. Next, the University is asked, then the Board of Regents. If it is approved there, it is sent to a vote in the Kansas legislature. Roberts said $70,000 was appropriated by the legislature for the purchase of the COMPLETING HIS JOB on the new VDT, Ray Trummell has all but forgotten the old paper tape. —photo by Kyle Cleveland VDT’S HAVE REPLACED the old tape pun- chers, much to the delight of Sharon Rogers. —photo by Alan Ford Compugraphic system. “We’re up to date for once in this particular area,” Roberts said. “We may not be able to say that in a year.” Keith said that for the PRIME system itself, 800 student passwords were issued in the fall ‘80 semester. About 400 students were enrolled in computing classes. The second largest user is the department of mathematics, and then social sciences, psychology, and business departments all have the occasion to use the computer, Keith said. Dr. Donald Kerle of the department of social science has his political science classes do work using the PRIME system. There is a social science package stored on the computer, and he has his students use this stored information to work on research-type problems. They get data from the computer, investigate, and write up their results. In one class, he has a simulation set up. The students feed in certain tax and expenditure choices for a government simulation, and the computer works it out over several cycles. Kerle’s graduate research methods class also used the computer system to calculate a variety of statistics rather than doing it all out by hand. Dr. Elmer Williams, chairman of the department of socia! science, said that Kerle also uses the system to analyze election results, and Robert Hilt, who teaches geography courses, uses it for urban analysis in some of his classes. Keith said the computing center has been planning to get the PRIME system since June 1979. The period from June to May 1980 was dedicated to planning and taking administrative steps to get it. From May to August, the center arranged for delivery to campus. “By the time we’re all finished, the system will have cost about $425,000,” Keith said. So, it looks like the computer age has hit Pitt State. Dean Powell, department of printing, summed up the computer enthusiasm. “! don’t know what the capabilities are,” he said. “Once we get started there’s just no way of knowing. It just blows your mind. It’s fascinating!”— by Olive Sullivan 126—New computers Painting with movement It is true Pittsburg State University has an art department, but this does not mean it is the only place that art can be found on our campus. The music department is full of art; jazz, it is said, is the only true American art form, and one can not forget classical music. The English department also greatly contributes to campus arts with poetry classes, literature classes, and the combination of the two in the student literary magazine Matrix. The list does indeed go on. There is another place that art can be found at Pittsburg State that is almost always overlooked: the Weede Physical Education Building. The art form to be found there is dance. Dance may be one of the oldest art forms in existence. Though it is true that men have been writing and painting for thousands of years, it has been found that long before any type of recorded history, many TO THE BEAT of popular music, Gina Prager and John Bartels perform their routine in Prager’s modern dance class.—photo by Dot Koehler peoples used this visual art to ex- press fear, delight, religious beliefs, birth, death and much more. Even though dance has had a long history, it is often mistaken for actions that are not truly the art form. Aerobics, for instance, is not ac- tually a dance but instead a type of excerise; the ever-popular disco dancing that was recently the trend did not really gain acceptance as an art form because it has more social than artistic content. The person in charge of the true art of dance at PSU for the 80-81 school year was Gina Prager. Prager, a dancer herself (her husband is also a dancer), taught many styles of the visual art. “What I tried to do was introduce my classes to all the areas of the dance,” said Prager. “We got into Tap, Jazz Tap, the Martha Graham style of modern dance, the far eastern dance, also square and even ballroom. All of my classes are geared for per- formance,” she said. Prager and her students have performed in many of the PSU theature productions. One such production was the opera “La Traviata” in the spring of 1980, and the Homecoming attraction “Anything Goes” featured Prager, her husband, and several class members. No matter what the dance being done, ballet, ballroom, or modern, the male has his role in dancing. Very often the danseur is not thought of as an athlete. This, however, is very untrue. “The dance is not a feminine art,” said Prager. “Physically you could rank it with football. The dance is a discipline, a very athletic discipline, and as with all things it must be done regularly if there is to be any im- provement. “Dance is a disciplinary ex- ploration,” she added, “and the person must have a physical awareness. The body must move in relation to space. In the dance we are working with gravity. There must be an internal balance, and there must be a finding of your center. You can think of the body as being a brush, 128—Dance class painting with the quality of movement. The dance classes seemed to attract both male and female. Of the 60 people enrolled, almost half were men, and most of the students came from music and theater departments. Also, there was a very wide variety of ages in the dance classes. The ages in the classes ranged from 17 to 35, with the oldest a 37-year old man. “I think the dance is coming to the people, said Prager. And this may very well be the case. Dance is moving into many different areas today. Figure skaters, for example, are using many modern dance techniques and the dance is showing up more and more on the gymnastic floor. The band Earth, Wind, and Fire is now using modern-style dance in their stage show. Dance, in a small way, is creeping onto football fields with marching bands, yell and cheerleaders, twirlers and pom-pon squads. The Chicago-born Prager feels that dance, and all arts, will be moving more into the Midwest. She attributes this to overpopulation on the East and West coasts. Cities like New York and Los Angeles are becoming too crowded. I think it will soon be the trend that major talent will be leaving and meet in the middle, the Midwest. The moving poetry of the dance is truly one of the most pleasing of the arts. It is a way in which the dancers try to relay a feeling, a thought, an idea, through the motion and rhythm of the body. Dance is a very intense, internal physical and mental excerise, and those who know about it or perform it capture something that will last a lifetime.—by Burl Powell A MAJOR PART of the dance classes is the practice students get as a group.

The 61-year-old building was demolished in late November and early December to make room for the new science building that will eventually be constructed in its place. “Everyone was sad to see an old friend, so dominant on campus for so many years, leave our midst,” said Dr. James B. Appleberry, University president, concerning the razing of the structure. During the final years of Carney Hall, the building was vacated following extensive structural engineering studies by the ar- chitectural firm of Hight, Jackson and Associates, Coffeyville, in October of 1977. The firm found serious weaknesses in the structural supports of the building and a one-fourth inch set- tling of the foundation. Previous studies had indicated evidence of faulty construction as far back as 1917 when it was built. GONE FOREVER, Carney Hall, one of the campus's oldest buildings, will soon be replaced by a new science complex.— photo by Dot Koehler The firm reported that although the wings had deteriorated, the auditorium portion of the building could be saved and could be in- corporated into a new building, or remodeled as a single purpose building. However, they advised that it would not be feasible to renovate the auditorium because it would cost more than to build a new one, and the structure may be inadequate. In December 1977, the Kansas Division of Architectural Services recommended that the classroom and laboratory portion of the building “not be used for school purposes after June 1, 1978.” Following additional structural studies, they recommended in May 1978 to raze the entire structure, including the auditorium, as well as the classroom and laboratory space of the building, and the state legislature appropriated $264,000 for the razing and the cost of a new utility tunnel and final site work. The razing decision was opposed by some community residents and groups such as the Little Balkans Heritage Preservation Guild, which maintained that Carney Hall needed to be preserved for its historical value and to balance out the Oval. Despite their pleas for a stay of THE DEMOLITION OF CARNEY HALL took approximately two months to complete. During that time the project provided a spectacle for passers-by.—photo by Bill Holtom demolition, the University hired the contracting firm of Holland and Banderas from Kansas City to salvage and then demolish the building. The work began in the middle of November and did not stop until the building was leveled, the ground graded, and grass planted. Plans have already been made for the replacement building for Carney Hall. “The bids will hopefully go out in June, with construction to start the last half of 1981 and the first of. 1982,” said Dr. C. Ray Baird, vice president of administration. “The new building is one of the top priorities for the regents and the state legislature.” The square footage of the academic area of the new building will be greater than in Carney Hall, although it will not contain a new auditorium. The project is estimated to cost $5,750,000, according to Dr. Baird. Carney Hall has quite a record in the history of the university and com- munity. Enrollment, com- mencements, concerts, convocations and numerous guest attractions took place in the building’s auditorium. “Carney Hall served as student union, class space and laboratory for the sciences, a concert hall and theater, and a general meeting place for the town and university for several generations,” said Gene DeGruson, university special collections curator. Although the building itself is gone, its memories will remain with the continued on page 132 Carney Hall—131 132—Carney Hall SEVERAL PROCEDURES were involved in the demolition of Carney Hall.

Consequently, workers were forced to install a temporary steam line around Carney Hall on the top of the ground until the new one was completed. The tunnel construction on the west side of Yates Hall posed an in- convenience for students trying to get to their classes. For students going to Yates Hall for a class, the only access to the building from.that side was a narrow walkway across the broken ground. “I ended up being late for a lot of my classes in there during construction because everyone was trying to get through that narrow space at the same time,” said Kevin Sargeant, Kansas City senior. And students walking across campus had to detour into Cleveland street to avoid the tunnel, which stretched from Carney Hall to the curb of that street. Despite the complications, however, the steam line was completed in March and the campus somewhat returned to a state of normalcy, except for the empty space where a proud building once stood.—by Sheri Johnson SORTING THROUGH THE DEBRIS of Carney Hall seems like a never ending task to the workers who labored daily after the building's demolition.—photo by Dot Koehler Farewell students, faculty, and residents who passed through its stately doors. Carney destroyed Soon after Thanksgiving last year, the aging walls of Carney Hall felt the first impact of the wrecking ball that tore the structure to pieces. The demolition went surprisingly fast, perhaps due to the mild weather during that time. Nevertheless, by the time students returned to school after Christmas vacation, the building had been leveled and workers were busy carting away the rubble. However, complications always seem to hamper construction projects and this one was no ex- ception. In December, for example, con- struction workers were digging a tunnel for the new steam lines when they broke into a sewer line which connects to Hartman Hall. As a result, the sewer leaked into the bottom floor of Hartman Hall and workers were forced to build a HEAPS OF RUBBLE, leftovers from Carney Hall, are slowly moved away, leaving behind a large empty plot of ground.—photo by Bill Holtom temporary sewer line until the construction of the steam line tun- nels was completed. Another problem occurred when the steam lines tunnel which runs under Carney Hall collapsed during the demolition of the third floor of the building. “We had originally planned for the building to be torn down floor by floor,” said Gary Carlat, director of facilities planning. “Then workers Not just another The Pittsburg State University Student Senate decided to handle Apple Day festivities just a little differently this year and most of the overall response as to the betterment of the occasion was good. First of all, the senate decided to dedicate one day out of Higher Education Week to each school in order to heighten student awareness of what PSU has to offer and to celebrate Higher Education. Apple Day Convocation was then conducted on Thursday of that week. According to Sandeep Mukerjee, Pittsburg sophomore and chairman of the senate’s Higher Education Week Committee, works from different members of the faculty were displayed in the lobby showcase of the library each day of the week. They included such things as books, ar- ticles, pamphlets and artwork. A tea was given in order to recognize the service and support of campus secretaries, a Who’s Who luncheon was given during the week to honor senior students in Who’s Who, the Student Union Board sponsored a concert by Riverrock at the Tower Ballroom and Bernard Franklin, chairman of the Board of Regents, was the guest speaker for con- vocation. Franklin’s topic for the convocation centered around national and local trends in higher education and what we in the state of Kansas could expect for the future. Franklin provided information on educational groups available to work with in order to make our educatonal system effective. “We need cooperation between our faculty and students in making sure our system is the best in the nation. As students you will be judged by the academic quality of your university,” said Franklin. The regent also urged all students to SEVERAL STUDENTS MADE IT to the Apple Day ceremonies this year, in spite of the half- mile walk to Weede Gym. Jackie Allen listens attentively as Regent Bernard Franklin speaks.— photo by Dot Koehler Thursday become more involved in the university structure. In referring to higher education, Franklin spoke for all the regents. “We’ve come a long way,” he said. “The opportunity for continued growth in the 80’s can be solved professionally without needless wounds to the educational system.” Franklin also stressed that cooperation between each university and the Board of Regents was essential to the accomplishment of success. University President Dr. James Appleberry also offered his com- ments to the convocation audience. He said that history can teach us a lot of things. It can set a guide as to future plans and it can keep us from making the same mistakes that have been made in the past. Dr. Appleberry also said that the 1980 freshman class was the biggest class that PSU has had since 1969 and it was the largest spring enrollment the school has had since 1972. He also noted that PSU has tremendous financial support and that contributions to the Endowment Association increased 57 per cent during the 1979-80 year, and the annual fund drive contributions in- creased 60 per cent. The activities and information of- fered by last year’s Apple Day celebration were a big help to some students. According to some, much of the information given at the convocation was never known before, “I never realized before how im- portant it was to discuss and work together as a single unit or how many things could be accomplished by the students if they took the chance to become involved in the structure of the system which educates them,” said John Emery, Pittsburg junior. “I know it’s important to work as a team but I never knew how easy it actually is to become involved such matters. I’m glad we had the op- portunity for Regent Franklin to speak to us at convocation because I think he opened the eyes of a lot of students,” said Emery. There are several things that the students can do in order to improve the system on which they so greatly depend. To sum up one of Franklin’s main points in his speech to PSU, the facilities and the opportunities are already here and they in themselves are improving every day. All the students have to do is reach right out there, take a firm hold on them and work together and they can’t help but make the education system a suc- cess.—by Jacque Porter THE MAIN PRIORITY of the Board of Regents should be to work for higher teachers salary to retain quality faculty, says Regent Bernard Franklin.

We try to present our students with an on-the-job at- mosphere and they are expected to be responsible for all of the normal duties of a licensed cosmetologist,” said Patsy Sumner, head of Pittsburg State University’s cosmetology department. According to Sumner, the program lasts nine months. The students attend class eight hours a day, five days a week for an actual attendance of 40 hours a week. “Laws differ from state to state but in Kansas the students are required to have 1,500 clock hours in order to graduate,” said Sumner. Four classes are enrolled every year. Students may begin course work in March, June, September or December. “The kids don’t have to re-enroll at semester as the rest of the University does. They pay fees and do everything required for enrollment when they begin,” said Sumner. Sumner said that for the first two months, the students spend the morning session in the classroom learning the theory of basic practical skills and in the afternoon they work on mannequins. “The mannequins start out with long hair and the students do everything to them that they would do in an or- dinary shop such as cutting, per- manent waving, scalp treatments, permanent wraps, color applications, frosting, scalp and facial manipulations, and manicuring and they learn the use of various types of electrical equipment,” said Sumner. Sumner said that the theory is relatively extensive and covers other aspects of the field such as salon management. After two months, theory is still given in the morning but afternoons are spent in the laboratory working with actual customers or other students and on Saturdays every AMONG HAIRCUTS, perms, and bodywaves cosmetology student Penny Oarrow still finds time for a manicure.—photo by Bill Holtom out in style student is in the laboratory for eight hours. When the students have completed 1,000 hours, the State Board of Cosmetology notifies all state schools to send them a list of those that are eligible to take a state exam which consists of 25 questions on theory. If the student passes the exam, he or she spends the remainder of their school term in the laboratory only. “If, for some reason, a student doesn’t test well, after they complete the rest of their school term, they go to Topeka for an oral and demon- stration exam. “This test covers all the things the student has learned in class and they perform the demostrations on other students. They are expected to do chemical coloring, curling, straightening, razor cuts, and work is also done with Blacks,” said Sumner. State law requires that students enrolled in cosmetology must have the following number of hours in the following areas: shampooing, 100; finger waving (wet), 75; comb outs, continued on page 138 JUST A LITTLE OFF the back please.

I like the afternoon sessions the best because we get to actually do the things we’re studying about. My favorite things are doing perms and haircuts,” said Pittsburg senior Penny Darrow. “When I graduate I want to get a license in Missouri and practice there,” said Darrow. “When we put a student out on the floor for the first time, and during their first few months out there, we supervise them very closely. They’re a little nervous, of course, at first, but we do as much as we can to build up their confidence. “We always establish guidelines for them on haircut lengths and we practically stand there the whole time until we feel sure they're capable of doing a good job on their own,” Sumner said. “After about two months, most of them have experienced the grouches, the nice customers, and the problem hair. We then let them establish their own cutting guides, but we check those too until we feel they’re doing well on their own, then we let them go. If we stand over them constantly, they’ll never gain the confidence they need on the job,” she added. “I think maybe some of the people here on campus are sometimes a little scared to come up, but I think we really have a better chance of doing a good job because we’re instructed on how to do everything and we’re doing it for a grade,” said Darrow. According to Sumner, cosmetology is not only for women. She says that men are very successful in the field and very dedicated; they express themselves in their work. “Cosmetologists are like painters; they give of themselves through beautifying women just as the painter gives of himself through his brushes and pigments. “I think maybe the reason men do so well is because they feel they have more to prove than the woman who is usually characterized in the role of a cosmetologist. “I have been teaching here for five years and this is the first period in which we’ve had no males enrolled. At one time, we had seven,” she said. She said that not all of her students were just out of high school. Some of them have returned to school after raising families and they need 138—Cosmetology WHEN IT’S TIME FOR A TRIM Mike Richards comes in for his regular haircut as stylist Penny Dollar does the honors.—photo by Bill Holtom something enjoyable to fill their spare time, or they plan to use the job of a hairstylist to supplement their husband’s income. Sumner also said that individuals that are studying to be cosmetologists usually do not have withdrawn personalities. “Cosmetologists almost have to be outgoing. They’re part-time coun- selors, part-time beautifiers, they listen to problems and they even help raise kids, so they have to have the ability to communicate,” she said. Sumner became a hairdresser after her children were grown and was in the business for 11 years before she became an instructor. She says there is a lot of hard work involved in the education required and in obtaining licenses. “First of all, the institution or school has to request that a person teach. Then, the state board has to approve of that person’s capabilities,” said Sumner. In order to get a teaching license, the applicant is given one year to obtain 60 hours in teacher’s training and 40 hours in advanced hairstyling by attending classes and workshops given by qualified, certified teachers. This license has to be renewed every three years and is done by repeating the number of hours and sending a grade sheet to the state board as proof of accomplishment. “The first year is always the hardest but after a while you grow ac- customed to it and it all comes easier,” said Sumner. Sumner is certified by the State Board of Education, and she has an instructor’s license and a cosmetologist’s license. According to state law, Sumner said that one person can only teach up to 25 students at one time. If 26 students were enrolled, two in- structors would have to be present. At least one qualified licensed substitute teacher must be available for instruction in the case of illness or necessary leave, she said. Virginia Hribar, Sumner’s assistant, is present during each class period since the department has 33 students currently enrolled. EVEN MADGE COULDN’T do a manicure job better than the cosmetology students.

One disadvantage to the course is that students obtain no college credit at all for their cosmetology training, according to Sumner. “It’s really too bad that they don’t because they work and study just as hard to obtain training for a sup- portive career as the other students on campus, and college credit is given in other states,” said Sumner. According to Sumner, the depart- ment has a good rapport with the many shops here in Pittsburg and they try to place every student that graduates. “We not only place our kids in shops here in town but we have people in Lawrence, Wichita, Topeka, Georgia, and Texas too; some of them specialize in areas other than just hairstyling,” she said. “The work and the studying is hard sometimes but you have that in anything you go into. It’s fun, I like it and I plan to get a job at a shop here in town, if I can, and specialize in perms,” said Sylvia Holt, Pittsburg senior. ‘‘Cosmetology is definitely a beneficial career. It gives a person a chance to meet a lot of people and gain confidence and respect in themselves at the same time,” said Sumner —by Jacque Porter Cosmetology—139 Learning the consequences The practical parenting class taught in the psychology and counseling department started out about five years ago as an off-shoot of the family counseling course because the parent education aspect of the family counseling course became so popular, according to Dr. John Nield, associate professor in the Department of Psychology and Counseling. It was made into an individual course, with Dr. Nield as principal instructor, which has at- tracted all kinds of students: educators in the public schools, counseling and psychology students, parents and home ec teachers, to name just a few. Why a course in practical parenting? Dr. Nield said, “Throughout the whole education system, students are just not trained to be parents. The only training they receive is from their own parents; consequently, today we have many parents doing parenting who are using horse-and-buggy techniques and here we are in the space age. Not that that’s bad or IN ORDER FOR Gail Ross to gain further knowledge about children's behavior, John Nield recommends certain books for her reading practices.—photo by Bill Holtom good, it’s just that things—and kids—tend to change. Just the ef- fects of television have brought about a lot of change.” The course includes the concepts of logical consequences and natural consequences as substitutes for punishment. A logical consequence has to be directly related to the misbehavior. For example, “If a child breaks a window, a spanking is not related to a broken window. That would be punishment. But having to pay for the broken window, or helping Encouragement is also possible when a child has misbehaved, making the encouraging process a continuous one that is independent of the child’s actions. “An encouraging parent can use logical consequences and the child will perceive that as being positive. The child will say, 'Hey, I broke the window, it’s my respon- sibility,’” Dr. Nield added. This idea brings out another purpose of the course. “Through using these techniques of encouragement and logical consequences we can more AFTER CLASSES. John Nield often meets in his office to answer questions of in- dividuals.—photo by Bill Holtom fix the window, would be a logical consequence,” said Dr. Nield. “Reward and praise are things that have really been blown out of proportion. These can have a lot of negative side-effects; they tend to teach the attitude ‘What’s in it for me?’—a faulty value system,” Dr. Nield continued. “Instead of praise we use a technique called encouragement. Encouragement is different from praise; positive reinforcement (praise) comes only after the child has succeeded in something. En- couragement happens after they’ve succeeded in something or before they’ve even attempted something.” easily raise children who have the four R’s—responsibility, respect, resourcefulness and respon- siveness,” said Dr. Nield. Students who have taken the course are enthusiastic about it. Gail Ross, Pittsburg graduate student, says, “The course has helped me a lot in understanding myself. I know it’s geared to parenting, but it really gives you a lot of information about people that you can apply to yourself, or to children or even to your mate. “I took the course for personal gain. I had some feelings of doubt as to what kind of parent I’d be, and I wanted to make sure that I had these skills, mostly because I thought I might be working with children. The course’s greatest assets are that it is well thought-out and that it is sim- ple,” Ross said. Graduate student Rod Ryder, from Lamar, Mo., has also taken the practical parenting course from Dr. 140—Parenting class Nield and is quite satisfied. “There was good, solid information in the course, and it had a strong philosophical and theoretical orientation. I’d already been through the family counseling course, and I was already familiar with the con- cepts there. But there’s so much information that I thought another time over would make it that much better. Also he threw in the en- couragement process that we dealt with in family counseling, but he gave us a different slant on it this time,” the unmarried Ryder said. As to why he took the course Ryder explained, “Sure there was some personal growth, but then also I’m looking at it from the professional aspect. I plan to do marriage and family counseling.” Ryder feels that the more exposure he gets to the concepts of practical parenting, “the more polished that I become and the better I feel that I am.” A Joplin, Mo., grad student, Betty Hooker, took the course as a mother of four ranging from 19 to 25 years old. Unfortunately, Hooker took the course too late for it to have a significant impact on her child- rearing. “If I’d had this, I’d have known how to give them some strokes when they were doing something right instead of yelling at them when they were doing something wrong. Because of some of those techniques that I’ve learned from the course, I would have felt much better about it, and I think the kids would have felt better about themselves. If I'd had the course before, I might have avoided some of the problems the kids are going through now,” Hooker said. Hooker divorced her husband and raised her four children while working to support them. Paradoxically, this home situation had some ad- vantages. “One of the things that I did right was the fact that the children had certain responsibilities. They also learned to do a lot of things for themselves because I didn’t have time to do it for them. It does build in them some self-esteem; they have responsibilities, and they have the feeling of success that comes with doing them and doing them well,” said Hooker. Both graduates and undergraduates may take the practical parenting course for credit. A video tape of the course will also be distributed in Fall 1981 to off-campus locations, and a cassette audio tape discussing the principles of the course is available for check-out, Dr. Nield said.— by Jim Abshire DURING CLASS, John Nield takes time to answer a student's question on the subject of encourgement. — photo by Bill Holtom Parenting class—141 Balkans salute Kansas valor This article deals with the Southeast Kansas literary and graphics quarterly The Little Balkans Review. But for the story to take Its full meaning, one should know where Kansas Balkans can be found and a definition of what they are. If one looks at a map of Kansas hoping to find the region where the Balkans live, the search will be in vain. No map points out this multi- cultured portion of the state. But while in Southeast Kansas just ask anyone what this place is called; they will proudly tell you. There is also another place a reference can be found concerning Balkans: Kansas history books. It is said that in 1911 a newspaper editor in Topeka gave the name to the 14 counties in Southeast Kansas because of the many disagreements between the coal miners of the region and unions. Needless to say, the name is still attached. In the editorial, the word multi- cultured was used to describe the Balkan region of the state. This in- deed is very true. With the finding of coal came industrialization, with industrialization came many im- migrant workers, and with the workers came their different cultures. In essence, the Balkan counties became a melting pot. The 1900 Census recorded some 51 nationalites in Crawford County. From this enrichment the breeding ground for Balkans was formed, and a very proud and colorful people. They were a hard working breed, and not a bunch to back down if a ruckus was called for; the Topeka editor noted this. In 1962, the late editor of the Pitt- sburg Headlight and Sun, F.W. Brinkerhoff, wrote in an editoral, “So here, may it be said, is a place to live and enjoy an association with originality of thought, courage of action, freedom of expression, the right to fight and determination to win for causes that represent the sentiments of the people—our people.” The LBR takes on much of the character that is spoken of in the Brinkerhoff editorial, for through the Review the Balkans are letting people know that they are not to be taken lightly. Gene DeGruson, associate professor of library science, and poet, started The Little Balkans Press in 1970 as a hobby. But soon the hobby would turn into an outlet for creative-minded Balkans. It would tell of the region’s rich heritage, of its multi-colored folklore, and also look 142—Balkans Review DISCUSSING THE LAYOUT and content for an issue of Little Balkans Review are Gene DeGruson, editor; Ted Watts, art; and Steve Robbins, fiction editor. —photo by Kyle Cleveland into its future. Ted Watts, a well known sports artist and former Pittsburg State student, wanted to expand his talent to include more than the sports field. Shelby Horn, an attorney, also a former Pittsburg State student and a writer in own his right, needed a release for his work, as did Steve Robbins, another Pittsburg State grad making a career as a journalist. “The ideas were all there, so on a shoe string we brought out the first issue of the LBR,” said DeGruson. The four people mentioned above are now the editors of the LBR. DeGruson, the librarian, is the poetry editor; Horn, the attorney, is the non- fiction editor; Robbins, the jour- nalist, is the fiction editor and Watts, the artist, is the art and graphics editor. These people have a deep- rooted interest in their Kansas, and when one reads through an issue of LBRthe feeling, time and pridethat is incorporated into each issue is strongly felt. From its first issue, the LBR met with immediate success, and not only in Kansas. A bookstore in New York, as well as one in California, have asked for more issues to sell. Joan Creighton, publisher of the New Magazine Review in Las Vegas, wrote to the editors of the LBR: “I just finished reading your journal and I love it. In spite of the fact that I see well over three hundred new magazines and journals a year, not to mention those that aren’t new, I see very few publications that are the quality and as interesting as yours.” The LBR was summed up the best by the editorial board in the preface to the first issue: “The editorial board of the LBR feels there is a need for education on the part of the general public on the cultural achievements and activities in the arts in the Little Balkans; we feel a need for recognition from their home state on the part of professional artists; we feel the need for an outlet for new talent, especially the graphic artist, the photographer, the craftsman. We promise you we will work unsparingly to fill these needs to the best of our diverse abilities.” It almost seems that the people behind the LBR have found the perfect way to brag about Balkans. If one reads through an issue they will plainly see that there is something to brag about.—by Burl Powell FOUNDER OF LITTLE BALKANS REVIEW, Editor Gene DeGruson is in charge of coordinating the contributions from free- lance artists and writers.—photo by Kyle Cleveland Little Balkans Review—143 Naming honors Axe Pittsburg State’s new library was completed in 1979, and the building dedication was Oct. 6. But although the facility was complete and in use, committees still debated on what to name it. Name suggestions were solicited from the campus body and the community. Anyone willing to donate $50,000 to PSU could have chosen a name, but that didn’t happen. At last, the committee in charge of selecting a name for the library decided to dedicate the building to former University President Leonard H. Axe. AT THE NAMING CEREMONY held April 25, Dr. Appleberry and Mrs. Hermia Axe unveil the portrait of Dr. Leonard Axe. —photo by Janet Dulohery A naming ceremony was held on April 25, 1981, during the April Ape- Fest celebrations. Invitations to the 10:30 a.m. ceremony were extended to selected members of the faculty and staff, as well as to a few Pittsburg residents and the presidents of student organizations. The ceremony was held in the large first-floor lounge of the library. A musical trio played softly while guests rustled to their seats, and the ceremony began with an invocation by Dr. James Gilbert, vice-president in charge of academic affairs. Regent James Pickert gave the greeting from the Board of Regents, saying that the Board of Regents commended PSU on the choice of name. “Dr. Axe served for eight challenging years,” said Pickert. “He helped make Pittsburg State outstanding, and it is obviously a job well done.” Dr. Axe was appointed president of Kansas State Teachers College at Pittsburg in 1957, and served until July 1, 1965. Under his ad- ministration, the school became Kansas State College of Pittsburg in 1958, and made significant progress toward the eventual designation as Pittsburg State University. Dr. Axe believed that the institution should broaden its services both to the people of Southeast Kansas, and to the state as a whole Some achievements of his presidency include the name change, major building construction, new degree programs, and emphasis on national recognition tor students and faculty. New organizations he saw initiated on campus include Omicron Delta Kappa, Golden Crest, Scholastic Honor Society, CWENs, Student Senate and other national professional and social organizations. Faculty achievements included an increase in the per- centage of professors with doctoral degrees and an expanded awards and honors program. Dr. Axe began the Specialist in Education degree, the office of the Dean of Graduate Studies, physics and chemistry were established as separate departments, and service offices such as housing, financial aids, and public affairs were established on a full-time basis. Buildings constructed, or at least planned, during his eight year presidency included Hughes Hall, Yates Hall, Shirk and Nation Halls, four apartment buildings, and ad- ditions to the Student Union and Whitesitt Hall. The L. Russell Kelce Planetarium and Timmons Chapel were both built during the same period, but these were funded by private donations. Dr. Axe retired in 1965, and died in 1975. After Pickert’s speech, Steven Hilyard, director of the library, spoke about the facility itself. He said that it was fitting that the naming was held during Ape-Fest, a campus-wide celebration of spring. “It symbolizes a new beginning for the library as well—the giving of its name,” he said. Hilyard said that three centuries of words are preserved in libraries, demonstrating what he said were the two functions of a library: to conserve and preserve a heritage, and to communicate that heritage. “The function of use is opposed to preservation,” he added, “but the value of the material is realized only in use. “All libraries have a gestation period, and this library seems to be putting its infancy behind it. It is time for the christening,” Hilyard con- cluded. Next, University President James Appleberry spoke in recognition of Dr. Axe. He welcomed two members of the Kansas Board of Regents, and three representatives from the Kansas Legislature who attended the ceremony. His talk also stressed the im- portance of knowledge and libraries. Dr. Appleberry said that by naming the building after Dr. Axe, the THE WIFE OF DR. LEONARD AXE, Hermia. gives a thank you to Dr. Appleberry’s recognition of Dr. Axe. —photo by Janet Dulohery university recognizes his wide contributions to both state and school. “There are only a few buildings on campus which sym- bolize the breadth, width and mission of a university. The Student Union is one, another is the library, and the auditorium which we soon hope to construct,” he said. “The library is the intellectual center for the whole university community,” he said. “It is designated to serve the future—the university as it will be in the 1990’s, the year 2000, and beyond.” Dr. Appleberry concluded his speech by introducing Hermia Axe, the widow of Dr. Axe, saying that since she was always by his side and helping him, the dedication is to honor her as well. I proclaim that this facility, hen- ceforth and forevermore shall be known as the Leonard H. Axe Library,” he said. “I could do as they do at the Academy Awards,” said Mrs. Axe. “I could stand up and say that I can’t think of anything to say but thank you, and then turn around and thank everyone by name, but I won’t. It has been a time of great pleasure for me to come back to Pittsburg. I’ve had a good time and I hope all of you have a good time looking overthis building. At last, Dr. Appleberry and Mrs. Axe each took a corner of the black cloth draped over Dr. Axe’s portrait, and the unveiling was finished. There was a moment of stillness as she looked at the painting, an appreciative titter as she clasped her hands in delight, and the ceremony was at an end as Mrs. Axe kissed Dr. Appleberry on the cheek. Refreshments were served to the guests, and the library faculty was available for tours and to answer questions about the facilty. One faculty member who had been hired under Dr. Axe shook Mrs. Axe warmly by the hand. “I don’t think there is another building that he would rather have had named after him,” he said, and Mrs. Axe agreed. It was a long infancy, and a long time to be called simply “the new library” or “the library,” but at last, it has a name to be proud of.—by Olive Sullivan Library dedication—145 Cutbacks break students I n the middle of the 1981 spring semester, work-study funds for auxiliary enterprises on the Pittsburg State University campus were dropped. Students working in these programs could no longer earn the full amount of their eligibility and stay in those programs. But why not? Had they not been told that if they could find a job on campus they could earn up to their eligibiltiy, depending on how many hours the job lasted? According to Garnett Bloomcamp, director of Student Financial Aids, the amount of work-study monies shown on the verification letter of financial aids, sent to students before the school year begins, is simply an indication of the maximum amount you could possibly earn on campus. It is not a guarantee of jobs or the amount you will earn out of those jobs. In other words, the indicated maximum amount of eligibility is not the amount the college has to pay the student if the student can find a job. The financial aids office is not guaranteeing the student anything. in fact, if every student on campus tried to earn what they are “eligible” for, there would not nearly be enough money. “In the past, we have not had half as much money as we indicated eligibility to students, yet we have still had dollars left over at the end of the year,” said Bloomcamp. “The reason we have to award more funds than available is that there is no other way to use up all of the funds,” he said. The 1980-81 year was an exception, however. Academic programs were using up the funds that were allocated to them, making it necessary to pull funds from the auxiliary enterprises. Auxiliary enterprises are those which create their funds for ex- penditures, such as the Collegio through advertising or the dorms through housing fees. Work-study monies are not allocated to students, they are allocated to academic programs with available jobs that have no other way of getting the money to pay students. The funds are made available to auxiliary enterprises as another way of making sure they get used up. According to Cliff Beougher, university director of business and fiscal affairs, the rise in the minimum wage and the fact that more students were working accounted for the lack of funds. “On January 1, we were required to raise the minimum wage for work- study, and optionally on state funds. No additional money was made available from federal sources for work-study although we requested it. “Also, the Department of Education pick vp your CHECKS HERE — - i 146—Financial Aid changed the rule on the minimum wage. Instead of being able to wait until July to start paying it, we had to start in January. Some people would say we planned it wrong from the start, but I don’t think so,” Beougher said. But, is it right to tell students they are eligible for a certain amount of money when in fact whether they are or not is still far from a decided question? “We have to assure we are going to spend the money. We can’t just be requesting a certain amount and then send a good portion of it back. We didn’t allocate the auxiliary en- terprises but allowed them to spend money. They were monitored until that time we saw that those who were allocated funds, because of the in- crease in the minimum wage, were using them up,” said Beougher. Some of the students are not so sure, though. Of the 12 students on the Kanza and Collegio staffs that were effected by the drop, four actively looked into suing the college. However, because of the wording of the job contracts, nothing could be done. In an interview with Collegio advisor Dr. John Knowles, he said “We may lose some good talent as a result and some students may not be able to stay in school as a result of this, unless they are able to find another job.” Also, in Five Federal Financial Aid Programs, A Student Consumer’s Guide, 1981-82, college work study is defined as a program which “provides jobs for students who need financial aid and who must earn a part of their education expenses.” If work-study is based on the need of the student, than only having half the money indicated to students as available should mean the half that do not get their money will be forced to drop out. “Our analysis systems are far from perfect. The need of students is very difficult to assess. Plus, some of these students may be going home on the weekends and earning all they need,” said Bloomcamp. The Consumer’s Guide says, “The amount of your CW-S award depends on your financial need and the amount of money your school has for this program. In arranging a job and assigning a work schedule, the financial aid administrator at your school will take into account your need for financial assistance, your class schedule, your health, and your academic progress.” This seems to imply that the federal government has more responsibility in mind for the administrators of work study than PSU administrators have. One thing is certain, though, the work-study program at PSU is not one based on the needs of students, otherwise, allocating twice as much money as available would simply be an impossibility. —by Chris Bohling Artwork by Rosemary Hessman Financial Aid—147 High honor goes to Proctor Dr. Alvin Proctor has become a campus institution after almost 40 years on campus, in various roles from student, to his most recent honor as University Professor next year in his last year of teaching. Dr. Proctor will be PSU’s first University Professor, one of only four in the entire state of Kansas. The other three are at Wichita State University. Dr. Proctor explained that the Board of Regents has two special ap- pointments that they can make. One, the Regent’s Professor, can be awarded to a professor who is not on a state payroll, at a state institution. The highest appointment possible for a professor on a state faculty is that of University Professor. This professor is appointed as a professor in the university, instead of in a specific department. PSU President Appleberry recommended Dr. Proctor to the Board of Regents, and he was unanimously approved. “This very select honor is the highest state recognition which can be bestowed upon a university faculty member,” Dr. Appleberry said. “Dr. Proctor’s long and productive association with Pittsburg State University has resulted in numerous historic accomplishments, and it is very appropriate that he be singled out for this university-wide ap- pointment. It constitutes a distinctive honor as well because there are so very few ‘University Professor designates in the state,” Appleberry concluded. Dr. Proctor’s long association with PSU began when he entered the school, then Kansas State Teacher’s College, in 1933, He had started out at Kansas University in Lawrence in 1930, just at the start of the Great Depression, but, he said, “I went broke.” Dr. Proctor dropped out of school for a year, then came to Pittsburg. Planning to be either a lawyer or a newspaper editor, he worked on a double major in English and history. He served as the editor of the Collegio in 1934, and married Mary Cooper in his senior year. “Out of about 1200 students on campus, there were only two married couples,” Dr. Proctor recalled. He found himself graduating in 1935, the middle of the Depression, with a family to support and no job. Fortunately, he was offered a history fellowship here, for $30 a month. After that, he went to New Mexico for a year, to teach in Hot Springs High School. “Jobs were terribly hard to come by, and I was willing to go anywhere,” Dr. Proctor said. Next, he went to graduate school in Wisconsin, then spent some time teaching at Pratt Junior College. From there, he moved to Ft. Hays State. At the same time, the United States was beginning to get involved in World War II. Dr. Proctor said, “I had always said that this was a war we needed to be in, so I decided it was about time to do as I said.” He volunteered in the Navy and was commissioned as an officer. After three months’ training, he was sent to the Pacific where he spent the next three years. “That was one of the most difficult decisions I ever made in my life,” he said. The Navy caused him to leave his wife and baby daughter for three years. “Military service is an exciting experience. I wouldn’t want to go through it again, but I have never regretted it,” he said. Finally, Dr. Proctor was offered an associate professorship in the PSU history department in June, 1948. “As a result of that, I’ve been at Pittsburg THROUGHOUT THE DAY Dr. Alvin Proctor is assisted with his correspondence by his secretary, Rose Paul.—photo by Kyle Cleveland ever since. “I came as an assistant professor, I was chairman of the Social Science Department, briefly executive vice- president, then academic vice- president, and now I’ve been an assistant to the president for the past four years,” he said. Under President Budd, Dr. Proctor became executive vice-president, “a job I really didn’t want. I’m academic in nature.” So when Dr. Budd offered him the position of academic vice- president, he leaped at the chance. When Dr. Appleberry came, Dr. Proctor was 65, the normal age for administrative retirement, but Dr. Appleberry, instead, created the position of assistant to the president for him. Dr. Proctor will be retiring in 1982 at the age of 70. He has chosen to spend his last year teaching full time. He explained, “I have always taught, except for four or five years. I think the teaching of history and govern- ment is extremely necessary and important. I decided it would be ONE OF DR. PROCTOR’S most important tools, because of conflicting schedules and workload, is the ever-present telephone.— photo by Kyle Cleveland highly appropriate if I could finish up as I begun, as a teacher. And then to my astonishment, Dr. Appleberry got this new appointment!” In 33 years of teaching, Dr. Proctor has helped implement several plans and projects that are now an integral part of the university. He had a hand in the establishment of the depart- ment of nursing, along with working to secure federal funds to build the McPherson Nursing Building. He worked to establish the Gladys A. Kelce Center for Business and Economic Development, and later the Kelce School of Business and Economics. He helped initiate the Master of Business Administration degree in 1974. He worked for co-ed instruction in physical education courses. With Dr. Dudley Cornish and Gene DeGruson, he established the Midwest Quarterly, a campus literary continued on page 150 Dr. Proctor—149 High REVIEWING MONTHLY RECORDS is another dimension of Dr. Alvin Proctor’s position as assistant to the president.—photo by Kyle Cleveland magazine. Dr. Proctor also convinced Dr. Budd to initiate the Bachelor of General Studies degree, and open pre- enrollment during the summer for the following fall. With former Dean William Spence, he started a separate department of printing, and improved the Master’s Degree in Technology to provide genuine technology in- struction instead of educationally oriented teaching by starting the department of technology. With Dr. Henri Freyburger, chairman of the foreign language department, he started an overseas study program in France. So many of these are such a part of the university that few people have thought about where they came from, or when. It is a little jolting to realize that one man initiated or helped start so many of these programs, and that he is still on campus. During his years at PSU, Dr. Proctor has also had an opportunity to do many unusual things. One of the high points of his career, he said, was a lecture series he did at the University of Austrailia in Melbourne. “One of the most interesting things in my life was the opportunity to go to Austrailia and give lectures, but also Mary and I went around the world to get there,” he said. Dr. Proctor added that when he was in high school, he told his father that he’d never get married until he’d been around the world. “Well, it took me 40 years, but I did it,” he laughed. The Proctors spent six weeks in Austrailia, and five weeks getting there. They spent two weeks in England, a week in Italy, then visited Athens, Greece and New Dehli, India. “We were in India in June. It was 120 degrees—hot as a firecracker,” Dr. Proctor said. Their next stop was in Singapore, and then on to Austrailia. On the way back to the States, they stopped in New Zealand, Auckland, Samoa, and Hawaii. They flew across the In- ternational Dateline on Dr. Proctor’s birthday, so he celebrated twice. A young Samoan they met that day said something that has stuck with him ever since. As the young man got off the plane, he shook Dr. Proctor’s hand and said, May you have many more years like today.” The trip has remained one of the highlights of Dr. Proctor’s career. “Since my field is history and government, I wanted to visit all those places,” he said. Another important memory is the two times he met former United States President Harry S. Truman. The first time was in 1954, when Dr. Richard Welty, Dr. Cornish and Dr. Proctor went to Kansas City and spent an hour with Truman. “I never forgot that, and I enjoyed it so thoroughly that I wanted to bring him to campus,” Dr. Proctor recalled. Unfortunately, Truman refused to travel, so he wouldn’t come. But, he said he would allow a group to come visit him, and would spare a half hour to talk to them all. Dr. Proctor, Dr. Cornish and 13 students left Pittsburg early one morning to visit the President. There were three women along, all Republicans. Truman ended up giving the group nearly three hours of his time. The girls asked if they could have their picture taken wih Truman. When he agreed, Dr. Proctor warned him that they were all Republicans. The President laughed and answered, “Oh, that’s all right, you have to get close to them to convert them!” Over the years, Dr. Proctor has seen many changes in the university. One of the most important ones, in his opinion, was the change in status from college to university. He had a hand in that decision. “I think this is very important,” he said. An in- stitution must change and evolve, as people must.” Being a university is the highest level an institution can attain in the U.S., and it brings a different em- phasis to teaching. The status brings connotations of higher quality in- struction and research. Dr. Proctor also said that people think of a university as significantly more difficult than the state college level. The organization of the college into schools was another important change Dr. Proctor saw implemented. Before 1966, there were 15 to 20 departments on campus, but they were not organized into schools. The change brought a new emphasis to each area, Dr. Proctor said. The School of Technology and the School of Business gave greater direction to those areas. Both schools now are nationally recognized as excellent, and some scholars in the School of Technology are internationally recognized. The organization into schools helped achieve those things,” Dr. Proctor said. The establishment of the depart- ment of nursing in 1973 was another brain-child of Dr. Proctor. It gave new dimensions to the university,” he said. Being one of four or five nursing departments in Kansas, it has achieved a reputation for outstanding students. “Its graduates are eagerly sought after,” Dr. Proctor added. He also emphasized that scholarly activities are important, therefore he and Dr. Cornish worked together to establish the Midwest Quarterly. It’s a fine, scholarly journal you wouldn’t expect to find in a school no bigger than this,” he said. Changes in the student body were also remarked on. “Since I began teaching here in 1948, the most important change for student life is the growth of instant com- munication,” he said. As an example, he said that 100 million Americans watched Reagan actually giving a speech. In 1924, he remembers hearing his first radio broadcast. Television came in the 1950’s. Dr. Proctor said that one of the things that aroused student opinion so much in the ‘60’s was the TV coverage of the Vietnam War. “Communications changed student life so drastically because it brought the world in on them,” he said. It affects student enthusiasm, emotions, and view points by causing them to think about things that his generation would never have con- sidered. “The other great change is that student interests vary according to events more than when I was a student,” he added. He cited examples such as the Vietnam conflict leading to student unrest. Then the ‘70’s were a com- placent me” generation. No big problems in the national scence, until Watergate. This led to disillusion- ment, and the students Dr. Proctor sees now appear to be more in- terested in preparing the best way they can to get the best job they can. They are much more career oriented, he said. “Now, we’re in the middle of almost a depression,” he said. What impact will this have on students? I don’t know, but I’m sure it will have an impact. “I’m very proud of our student body through the years,” he added. “Students of this university can go any place they want to with the quality of education they can get here. That’s what a university is all about. The only question now is, do they want to go?”—by Olive Sullivan Dr. Proctor—151 Foundry provides training Since the year 19ib, the metals ana foundry division of the technology department at Pittsburg State University has been in operation to train technology students in the metalworking processes. “Our metals manufacturing program and its related courses provide three purposes: to educate students on all aspects of metalworking, to educate them in teaching the subject or related subjects, and it offers sup- portive courses for students majoring in other areas of technology such as automotive, wood, and plastics,” said Robert Bradley, professor of industrial arts education. Approximately 220 students, of which 38 were manufacturing THE FOUNDRY HAS ALL KINDS of metal to be used in student projects. These metals are usually recycled parts of automobiles and other pieces of junk.

Students take classes in the metal and foundry division as elective courses or for supportive courses for technology majors. According to Bradley, there is a lot of hands-on training involved in all the courses included in the metals curriculum. The manufacturing technology majors that graduate from Pittsburg State are highly sought after in the industrial field, as well as for teaching, according to Larry Williamson, assistant professor of technology. Our program is good,” Williamson said. “The whole technology program is a very well known program. Our graduates are really sought after in some cases.” The metals and foundry division has two areas, classified as the metal tool area and the foundry area. The foundry is a specialized area in metalworking. We offer a three-hour demonstration lab where I demon- strate almost everything to the student. “There is an additional five-hour lab where the students do all of the actual work themselves and that’s where they obtain most of their hands-on training,” Bradley said. There are currently 12 courses under the metals curriculum, and students are required to turn in a project that represents the exercise covered in class. “The exercise is designed to develop the skill they are trying to learn on the machine,” explained Vernon Goold, professor of technology. Two years ago the metals and foundry division at PSU became a member of the American Foun- drymen’s Society, a national organization in the foundry industry that hosts a national teachers’ seminar every year at one of the 32 universities involved in the AFS. Bradley said he has been a member of AFS for 27 years. This society coordinates an annual nationwide seminar, each one conducted at a different state university. The seminars are given to benefit those in the metals industry or metals educators, according to Bradley. “The 1981 seminar will be held here at PSU under the direction of the Cast Metals Institute. They foot the bill for all of the 80 to 100 representatives that we plan to have,” he said. He explained that the subjects taught prove to be beneficial to the PSU program. Another important recognition given to the Pitt State metals area came from the Foundry Education Foundation. Pittsburg was one of 33 schools selected by this group to begin receiving money for scholar- ships for their program. “Recognition from this particular foundation is very important to our program and it offers the student opportunities that may have been out of their reach before,” said Bradley. Bradley added that every student is placed on a job after their training and course work are completed.

They discuss jobs ranging from actual foundry work to foundry supply salesmen. “The students don’t always take the first job they’re offered and the variety of representatives gives them a chance to decide where they feel they will be happiest,” said Bradley. Interview discussions include the details of the job, travel expenses, job duties and responsibilities, and the facilities the particular industry has to offer. “If the employer decides the student is eligible for employment, the student can expect a letter a couple of months later asking them to come look at the company and discuss the possibilities of being hired,” said Bradley. Pittsburg State’s industrial education departments and technology department are among the top in the nation, according to Dr. Victor Sullivan, acting dean of the School of Technology and Applied Science, and the quality and thoroughness of instruction in these areas may be the reason why.—by Jacque Porter and Frank Scimeca THE FIRST STAGE in getting a mold ready for hot metal is to fill the metal case with sand.

The class is a part of the Women’s Studies program which made its debut at Pittsburg State University three years ago.

According to Dr. Clasz, more teachers are desperately needed or the future of the Women’s Studies program may be questionable. According to Subramanian, the Issues class builds on the first class which is Images. “In the Images class we discuss how women are pictured in the media and the arts. We also look at their roles, what is expected of women and how they are seen in society,” she ex- plained. “We look at some of the same things in the Issues class, but in more depth. Instead of having the in- structor lecture, the students themselves research areas which they are interested in and present the information to the class. “The students have an opportunity to follow their intuitions on women’s roles in society, and they back their intuitions up with information. They are oftentimes able to confirm the thoughts and feelings that they’ve had about women, she said. The Women’s Studies program began as a part of the nationwide women’s movement. “One of the earliest areas where the need for Women’s Studies became obvious was in the area of psychology,” said Dr. Clasz. “Men were telling women what their problems were without really having any knowledge of them. There are different types of pressures on women than there are on men which the books don’t print.” According to Dr. Clasz, in a study done by males, the qualities of a healthy adult were the same as those of a healthy male. “If you’re a healthy adult, you aren’t a healthy female; if you’re a healthy female, you aren’t a healthy adult. Either way, you lose if you are female,” stated Dr. Clasz. The Issues class can help increase a woman’s self-awareness and her self- confidence, according to Subramanian. “After taking the course a woman may change her aspirations. She may decide to change her goals and do something that society, through superficial reasons, has made her believe that she wasn’t capable of doing,” she said. Women are deprived of their history, according to Dr. Clasz. “Women today have no role-models. Women’s situation is similar to that of the Blacks, their history is not in the books. Eli Whitney didn’t invent the cotton gin, a woman did, but she wasn’t able to get a patent.” According to Dr. Clasz, one of the main objectives of Women’s Studies is to move toward an androgynous society; to remove the barriers for women and men. “Our social structure puts people in boxes.

It is more noticeable where women are concerned, but it is also noticeably harmful for men,” she said. In referring to the female population Dr. Clasz said, “We have this vast pool of resources. It is to our own disadvantage to restrict and prevent some people from training them- selves and participating in society.” Students taking the course seem to enjoy it. Lisa Farrell, Mission sophomore, and Sharron Davis, Kansas City junior, say that the course is helping them understand themselves, other women and men. “I think the course will help me when I enter a maritial situation. I will be able to go into it with a better outlook, and I will understand what some of the problems are and be able to avoid them,” said Davis. Jean Banks, Nevada, Mo., senior, who is a working mother as well as a student said, I like the course because I’m from a generation where we were just beginning to bridge the role changes. “The course has erased some reservations about the women’s movement. It isn't radical, it’s balancing both male and female roles,” said Banks. “I also think it is going to help me help a certain teen-ager find what her role is,” she added with a smile.—by Janet Stites THE MEDIA’S VIEW of women in American society is Lisa Farrell's topic for her class presentation. —photo by Dot Koehler Awareness leads to policy Sexual harassment, ranging from “sex oriented teasing to rape, is becoming more and more of a serious and widespread problem for both women and men of all ages and one that is present and often threatening to persons in primarily two situations: the classroom and on the job. It is an area of such deep concern that is necessary to bring the issue to the attention of college students who are obligated to maintain a certain grade point average and in- tend to enter the ever-difficult, -trying and -complicated arena of em- ployment. According to Wilma Minton, director of Student Affairs at Pittsburg State University, there has never been an on-campus rape reported to any PSU administrator or official and no major or formal greivance has ever been processed or filed by or with the University. '‘Most of the student feedback that I’ve received through my office concerning sexual harassment consists mainly of informal discussions with both students and faculty. The majority of these discussions arose prior to the present legislation dealing with sexual harassment,” said Minton. Teresa Massa, Equal Employment Opportunity Officer for PSU, said, “The students that come to me usually ask only informational questions concerning what con- stitutes sexual harassment and what action can be taken in an effort to deal with it.” The United States Equal Em- ployment Opportunity Commission defines sexual harassment as “un- welcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature” that are connected to decisions about employment or advancement or that create an intimidating, hostile or offensive work environment, ac- cording to an article published in the March 1981 issue of Redbook Magazine. In 1980, the federal government acted. The EEOC published new regulations that makes employment- reiated sexual harassment illegal under sex discrimination provisions of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. According to a 1980 report on the sexual harassment of students done by the National Advisory Council on Women’s Educational Programs, the action taken by the EEOC led the Council to commission a legal review to determine whether another federal law—Title IX of the 1972 Education Amendments—could be established to prohibit the sexual harassment of students. When the Council began receiving student response, they found that the material coming in was significant enough to support a product of even greater validity than they had originally planned. These responses provided the basis for the Council’s 1980 report. The Council said, “The report is not a ‘definitive’ work. It is instead a pilot study, designed to spark the kind of discussion which leads both to direct action and further study.” The Council’s original purpose was “to convince policy makers that the 156—Sexual harassment sexual harassment of students is not only illegal but a problem serious enough to compel federal in- volvement.” The Council’s report includes two findings and recommendations as to what direction of action to take in dealing with those findings. First, “the sexual harassment of post- secondary students is an increasingly visible problem of great, but as yet unascertained, dimensions. Once regarded as an isolated, purely personal problem, it has gained civil rights credibility as its scale and consequences have become known, and is correctly viewed as a form of illegal sex-based discrimination.” The Council urged that the Office for Civil Rights in the Department of Education immediately compile some sort of policy declaring sexual harassment a violation of Title IX and require other federal agencies responsible for upholding Title IX enforcement to adopt those policy guidelines. The Council even further recom- mended that the President of the United States issue an executive order informing all federal agencies involved in the administering of laws and provisions which prohibit sex- based discrimination to make explicit prohibitions of sexual harassment SEXUAL HARASSMENT: a growing problem.—photo by Scott Miller under those jurisdictions publicly known. The Council’s second finding was “while federal commitment to Title IX enforcement in this area is important, the problem cannot be overcome by enforcement action alone.” The Council suggested that federal enforcement agencies develop technical assistance programs designed to increase awareness and reduce tolerance for sexual harassment on the campuses of colleges and universities. It was also recommended that federal grants programs with equal educational opportunity priorities immediately and widely distribute encouraging and supportive research to enable the programs to further understand and deal with sexual harassment. These programs in- cluded the Women’s Educational Equity Act Program, the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education, and the National Institute of Education. Most of the informational data in the Council’s report indicates that sexual harassment is arising only as an issue, an issue that has been kept “in the closet” for many years. With the onset of this issue’s new visibility, a few schools have developed policies or procedures available to students to help them deal with it. Many universities are now con- sidering and discussing the im- plementation of a written statement into their university policy concerning sexual harassment, Minton said. The proposed statement was provided by the American Council of Education and the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators. It reads: “Sexual discrimination in the form of sexual harassment, defined as the use of one’s authority or power to coerce another into unwanted sexual relations or to punish another for his or her refusal, or the creation by a member of the University community of an intimidating, hostile, or of- fensive working or educational en- vironment through repetitive verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature, shall be a violation of the University’s human rights policy.” Minton said that the statement is only being considered and discussed by university officials and ad- ministrators and has yet to be adopted. Although Minton also said that PSU didn’t have a lot of complaints and that the problem of sexual harassment has seldom arisen, due to the fact that PSU and the surrounding community is fairly conservative, some students and faculty believe that the statement being considered by the university, or something similar to it, should be put into effect. “I've never really thought about it that much,” said Dan Hawn, Pitt- sburg sophomore, “Sure, I’ve heard about it happening in other schools and I’m aware that it can always happen. I think the statement should be added to University policy for the benefit of the students as well as the faculty and staff,” he said. Dr. Cary Clasz, professor of speech and theater, feels that by bringing the problem of sexual harassment to an awareness level with all those concerned, situations could be handled efficiently when and if they arise. “Sexual harassment has, in the past, fallen into the same category as child abuse and incest. It’s been a taboo that not many people want to discuss. “I feel some type of statement or definition should be adopted for university policy because only by bringing sexual harassment to a visible level will we be able to discover exactly what the problem is,” said Dr. Clasz. Dr. Clasz also said that different types of sexual harassment mean different things in everyone’s own opinion and that there is definitely a need to set policies and guidelines to assist us in the definition of this type of harassment. “People just don’t realize what can actually happen between a student and an instructor in the classroom,” said Susie Cope, Pittsburg freshman. “The possibility is always there that sexual harassment can occur and I think, for the protection of both parties involved, the university needs some type of policy to help us judge those situations fairly if they did happen,” she said. “What our offices are doing now is simply trying to bring the students, faculty and staff to a level of awareness on sexual harassment. It is a situation in which solutions have to be carefully thought out because if something does happen in regard to harassment of this kind, everyone involved has to be prepared both psychologically and procedurally,” said Minton, —by Jacque Porter Sexual harassment—157 Graduation Saying good-bye They filed in slowly, one couple after another, in a long line that signified the end of four long years of lines, to some. To others, graduation just represented the beginning of the rest of their education. But to one and all, it was an event that they handled with a variety of reactions, from boredom to nervousness, joy to relief. The 1981 Commencement ceremonies were held in Weede Gymnasium at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, May 16. The auditorium was packed with about 1,100 graduating seniors and their many guests, relatives and friends. “This was one of the largest graduating classes of recent years, and in some estimations, it had one of the largest audiences,” said Wayne Davenport, university director of Public Affairs and Information. He added that the auditorium was filled to capacity, and people were even standing in the mezzanine area above. Members of the audience lucky enough to find seats sat picking out their graduate. “There!” cried one ONE OF THE MANY proud graduates at the Weede on May 16 is Linda McHenry. She waits in line with about 1,100 others to be seated for the ceremony.—photo by Kyle Cleveland excited parent. “Do you see John, he’s there on the aisle.” The aura of excitement spread throughout the building, as one nervous grad straightened the hat of the man in front of him. They filed through the halls, first black, then gray-robed vo- tech students, dressed in jeans, suits, dresses or high heels. Girls checked their reflections in the glass cases along the way. “Ooo, I don’t feel so good,” one girl complained. “You’ll make it,” she was assured. Although the excercises officially opened with ROTC ceremonies in the Student Union, and a reception by President Appleberry for graduates and their families, the culminating moment opened when Dr. Appleberry began his keynote address. He spoke on his concern at the lack of the national commitment to the development of future potential through research. He said, “Consider your commitment. Whether we can depend on you will determine our society’s future. “Today is not a graduation,” Dr. Appleberry continued. “It is a commencement. A commencement of the responsibility which you will assume to continue to learn on your own, which is the greatest achievement we can claim as a university.” He ended his address with a challenge to the graduates to commit themselves to building a better world for us all. Next, Dr. Appleberry presented awards, beginning with the Meritorious Achievement Award, presented annually by the Alumni Association. This is the highest honor the university confers on alumni. This year’s awards went to Donald L. Cooper, M.D., and Dr. Winona Vernberg. Outstanding Senior awards went to Catherine M. Duffin, automotive technology graduate from Weir, and Patrick F. Wiederholt, finance graduate from Parker. Ten other finalists for Outstanding Senior were recognized during the conferring of degrees. Plaques for this award were presented at the annual Alumni Luncheon at 1 p.m. Also honored at the banquet were Cooper and Vern- berg, as well as graduates from Phi Kappa Phi, Omicron Delta Kappa, COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES bring a pensive look to the face of April Gauldin as the reality of graduation sinks in.—photo by Kyle Cleveland Golden Crest and Who’s Who.

Next came the presentation by each dean of those in their schools, by degree. Students applauded as their group was called.

Who can forget fall football games, winter games of volleyball and basketball, and rugby and soft- ball in the spring? The fans are a big part of sports, as are cheerleaders, ponvpon squads, pep bands, players and coaches. Every year sees the same sports, new players and new coaches, and always new fans. But each year also sees a new face in fads. One year, it's running. In 1981, it was racquetball and aerobics. The big controversy of the year was over the Title IX policy of equality of CROSS COUNTRY RUNNER Robert Marquardt takes a break from practice.

The women’s track team went through de- emphasis of their program and a narrow vote to re-emphasize. Football is always a big draw for sports fans and students. The Gorillas made it as far as the Shrine Bowl, but fell short once they got there. Men’s and women’s track team members went to nationals. Another new facet of sports in Pittsburg was the sport of motocross. Through it all could be seen the changing faces of coaches and players, students and spectators— the suspense of a close score, the joy of winning and the agony of defeat. And the look of determination that followed both victory and loss, to go out there next time and do it right! 160—Sports Sports—161 162—Trainers They fix'em up The general purpose of an Athletic Trainer is to take care of all injury problems, the general health of the athlete, and to do all the taping of the players before practice or games. That is what Al Ortolani, Pitt State’s head athletic trainer, and his staff have been doing for the last 26 years. “The general health of the athlete is mine and my staff’s responsibility. When someone gets hurt or just comes down with a cold, we are responsible for getting him to a doctor. “Our job is to prepare the players before practice or game, then to also take care of them afterwards. In other words, we get the kids on the court or field so all the coach has to do is coach,” said Ortolani. Early in the season Offensive Guard Scott Karr, Paola sophomore, went down with a knee injury. “We were punting and I was running down the field, I planted and started to cut inside. I felt something rip and tear. After the play was over I tried to get up, but my leg kept on giving away,” said Karr. “I saw Scott go down and ran out onto the field. He was in quite a bit of pain, so we helped him off the field and packed his knee in ice the rest of the game. After he showered, we put a knee stabilizer on and put him on crutches. I told his dad that he was in bad shape and that he had better see a doctor immediately,” said Ortolani. Surgery was scheduled and Karr was under the knife for four hours. The operation was successful. “Dr. Ellfield told me that he thought that I should not play ball again,” said Karr. Karr came back to Pitt State determined to get his knee back into shape for football season next year. “Scott’s case is unusual, because usually with a knee injury this serious an athlete is not able to go back to competion. But, when we get his knee fully rehabilitated, we will take a casting of his knee and send it off to New York, and have a special brace “LET ME SEE, what could be wrong here?” Trainer Gaye Merrill, assisted by Head Trainer Al Ortolani, inspects an athlete's injury.— photo by Kyle Cleveland made. This brace is called a Lennox Hill Knee Brace. This brace is the same kind of model that Joe Nameth, ex-football star for the New York Jets, wore. The brace will bring his knee up to around 80 to 90 per cent strength. And if it works, he should be able to return to competition,” said Ortolani. Now, you are probably wondering what trainers have to do with the story just told. “If it wasn’t for Al and his whole staff, my knee would not be as strong as it is now. The training staff has really helped me in my rehabilitation, said Karr. Gaye Merrill, assistant athletic trainer to Ortolani, has been at PSU for the last two years. Her main job is to train women’s sports, but she also helps out with the men whenever she is not involved with the women. “I was playing sports at Brigham Young University when I got in- terested in training. I would watch the trainers work in the training room. And then one day someone asked me if I was interested in training. I said I was, so I started taking the required courses for training and working in the training room. “I like being a trainer because it keeps me involved with sports and the people that are involved,” said Merrill. “My main job is to keep the athletes on the field or court and to prevent injuries in any possiable way, said Stuart Minck, Hicksville, N.Y., senior. “I listen to what Al tells me. If he tells me to do something, I need to do it. But, if I don’t think it will work, Al and I will discuss it over and figure a way it will work,” said Minck. Minck will be working on his Graduate Internship at a major university next year, which means he will beatraineratahigh school for 10 months out of the year. He will do his studies at the university in the mornings and then in the afternoons he will work at the high school. “Training was kind of scary at first, but once I got started it was kinda of fun,” said Steve Hawkins, Baxter Springs sophomore. “My main purpose is to help the athletes in any way possible,” he said. “I want to try and go to a big university and work on my Masters, but if I can’t get in, I will stay at PSU and work on it here. After I take my NATA (National Athletic Training Association) exam, I want to work for a small university or college for 10 or 15 years, then hopefully be a head trainer for a pro basketball team,” said Hawkins. “Training is a good field to be in, plus I like to be around the people who are involved in the sports,” said Lecia Irvin, Adrian, Mo., freshman.

The Gorillas finished with a won-lost record of 7-3 and a record of 5-2 in Central States Intercollegiate Conference play which was good enough for sole possession of second place. Also, for the second year in a row, Pitt State was invited to a post season bowl game. Unlike Dodge City’s Boot Hill Bowl in 1979, where the Gorillas whipped the Peru State Bobcats 43-14, Pitt State lost the Moila Shrine Bowl in St. Joseph, Mo., to Northeast Missouri State University in the last four seconds on a 17 yard field goal, 17-14. It was the third year in a row that Pitt State has finished just behind the leader in the conference race. In 1978- 79 the Gorillas came close when they shared the conference title with Kearney State College. In 1980 it was the upset by Topeka’s Washburn University and the loss to the ever- tough Kearney State that ended hopes of taking the conference title out-right. In each case, it was the ALL AMERICAN RUNNING BACK Richard Overton crossed the goal line despite Fort Hays State's defensive efforts.—photo by Alan Ford battle between Kearney State and Pitt State that seemed to decide the CSIC winner. Eventhough the CSIC title evaded the Gorillas once more, the 7-3 record speaks for itself. Pitt State opened the season at home in Brandenburg Stadium on Sept. 6, against the Northwest Missouri State University Bearcats. The year before, the Gorillas held off the Bearcats on their home field 21- 14. But in 1980 the Gorillas turned the table and did not give NMS the chance to make it a close contest. The Gorilla defense proved tough against both pass and run. They allowed only 94 yards in the air and intercepted three Bearcat aerials. They gave up only 180 yards on the ground, 65 of which came on one long touchdown run. Offensively, Pitt State utilized scoring drives of 79, 92, 75, and 95 yards to control the bail virtually the entire game. In doing so, they rolled up 423 yards total offense with 275 of those coming from running plays. A new record was established against NMS for the longest pass from scrimmage. Quarterback Craig Kelley, Monett, Mo., junior, hit wide receiver Gene Wayenberg, Mission junior, and the play went 92 yards for the score. The Gorillas easily won their opener 33-7.

The year before the Gorillas were leading by a score of 30- 14 with only one quarter left to play. Southwest Missouri State took the Pitt State lead and turned it into a 41- 37 loss. With this in mind, the Gorillas took the field. It is said that football games are won or lost in the trenches. If this is true, the near capacity crowd at Bran- denburg Stadium saw fine examples of “trench warfare” on the night of Sept. 13. To say the least it was a defensive battle. The first quarter was a scoreless one even though Pitt State had two fine opportunities. With Kelley at the helm, the Gorillas marched to the SMS 14 yard line in only seven plays. The Bears built a defensive wall and forced a field goal attempt which sailed wide. The second chance came with 6:19 remaining in the first quarter. Tailback Richard Overton, Boonville, Mo., senior, blasted his way over the SMS seven yard line for a first down. Two plays later on a quarterback- keeper, Kelley had the ball knocked away on the one yard line. Bear linebacker Dennis O’Hagan recovered the fumble.

Pitt State cor- nerback John Silovsky, Topeka senior, intercepted a SMS aerial to set up the Pitt State scoring drive. With the scrambling Nick Motosko, Youngstown, Oh., junior, and Kelley taking turns calling signals, Pitt State paved their way to the SMS seven yard line. Three plays later fullback Stan Patton, Monett, Mo., junior, hammered his way through seven yards of Bear defense to score the game’s lone tally. The point after by Joe Ballou, Overland Park senior, sailed true giving the Gorillas a lasting 7-0 lead. Southwest Missouri State could not penetrate the Gorilla defensive line and remained scoreless. Pitt State won the battle 7-0 and tasted sweet revenge. Pitt State opened the season by winning two tough non-conference games and with these victories were ranked the tenth team in the National Assocaition of Intercollegiate Athletics polls. The Gorillas had but one non-conference game remaining until opening in CSIC action. The last non-conference game Pitt State would have in regular season play would be in Rolla, Mo., against the University of Missouri-Rolla Miners. In the four years that coach Randleman has been in Gorilla athletics his teams had never beaten the Miners. Some believed UMR held a jinx over Pitt State. Whether this is true or not on one knows, but what is known is the outcome of the game: UMR 14, PSU 10. It was the lack of offense that proved to be the Gorilla downfall against the Miners. Pitt State had shown a potent offense in their previous two games. They rolled up 423 yards total offense in the opener aganst NMS and 404 against SMS. However, that was not to be the case with the Miners. Pitt State was held to only 46 yards rushing on 37 attempts by the Rolla defense and even though the Gorillas passed for 184 yards, they threw four costly interceptions. With a record of 2-1 the Gorillas started their bid for the CSIC title by traveling to the campus of Missouri Southern State College. The in- terstate rival proved to be an exciting game. “We knew this would be a crucial game for us,” Randleman said after the game. “They had an open date so it gave them an extra week to prepare. We knew they would be ready.” In the opening minutes of the first quarter it seemed the Lions had prepared well when MSSC tailback, John Henderson broke through the Gorilla defense for a record breaking 92 yard sprint to the goal line. The extra point was good giving the Lions a 7-0 lead. The second quarter saw the Gorillas put 21 points on the scoreboard. Tailback Overton took a hand-off from quarterback Bill Wachter, Pittsburg senior, and bulled his way to paydirt from five yards out. The second Pitt state score came from Wachter on a quarterback-keeper. Wachter played a fine fake hand-off to Overton and ran left to score from the ten making the HALF-TIME AT A FOOTBALL GAME gives Ronnie Freeman a chance to get a drink and cool off- The hot weather during the 1980 football season made the games un- comfortable, to say the least.—photo by Kyle Cleveland score 14-7. The third Gorilla score in the second quarter came at the 5:49 mark when Overton shot off the right guard and scampered 43 yards to the end zone putting Pitt State ahead 21- 7. MSSC scored once more in the second quarter making it a 21-14 ball game at the half. Each team only scored once in the second half. Two big plays set up the Lion score in the third stanza. To start the drive, MSSC defensive halfback 166—Football NOBODY SITS ON THE BENCH at Pitt State, especially not the football team as they stand to cheer on their teammates during the game against Missouri Western on Parents Day.— photo by Kyle Cleveland Alan Dunaway intercepted a Wachter pass attempt at the 32 yard fine. On the next play, Melvin Foxx, Pittsburg sophomore, was flagged for pass interference near the goal tine which gave the Lions a first-and-goal at the Gorilla two. Two plays later Lion tailback Henderson flew over the left guard for the score. The extra point was good and it tied the game at 21- 21, The play that set up the Gorilla score was one that shall be remembered for some time to come.

On his second try at paydirt, fullback Patton scored the go-ahead touchdown. The fourth quarter was fruitless for both teams and the Gorillas held on to win 28-21. The Gorillas were now 2-1 overall and 1-0 in the young conference race. On Oct. 4 Pitt State headed north to Topeka for another conference battle with the Washburn University Ichabods. The Gorillas were the heavy favorite but the scoreboard did not read that way at games end. It was costly turnovers and the passing combination of Washburn quarterback Mike Atkins and wide receiver Ron Hamilton that proved to be too much for the Gorillas in 38-36 upset. After falling behind 14-0 in the first quarter, the Gorillas came back to tie the score at 14 all in the second quarter. From that point on it was anybody’s baligame. In all, the lead changed hands five times from the point of the 14-14 headlock. It appeared Washburn had finally tucked the game away when they scored a touchdown to go ahead 35- 28 with just over three minutes remaining in the game, but that was not to be the case. Pitt State rallied in the closing minutes and with the aid of a pass interference call in the end zone against the Ichabods, the Gorillas scored on a quarterback keeper. Pitt State opted for the two point conversion and took a 36-35 lead when Kelley found tight end Scott Zornes, Kansas City, Mo., junior, open in the end zone. Now all Pitt State had to do was to hang on for the remaining 36 seconds. The Gorillas couldn’t do that as Atkins directed the Ichabods down the fiefd and into fietd goal position. With a mere two seconds left, Washburn freshman kicker, Mark Stratton, booted a 36 yard field goal to put his team on top 38-36. Coming off the Washburn loss the Gorillas met the Ft. Hays State University Tigers in the Homecoming tilt on Oct.11. As in the week before, the Homecoming game was decided in the last minute of play. As not in the week before, Pitt State was on top 168 Footba!l DURING A HOME GAME against Fort Hays State University, Bill Wachter executes a triple option.—photo by Alan Ford when the clock stopped. With 57 seconds left in the fourth quarter and Pitt State down by the score of 17-14, linebacker Jeff Cooper, Bolivar, Mo., junior, recovered a fumble that started the 47 yard scoring drive that enabled the Gorillas to win. During the next two weeks, the Gorillas played in two Nebraska teams in the conference, Wayne State and Kearney State. The first trip to Nebraska proved to be a winning one with Pitt State as they easily downed Wayne State 37-7. After the next trip the Gorillas came back in a losing spirit after Kearney State won the game 26-9. The next two weeks the Gorillas stayed home to finish conference play with wins over Missouri Western State College and Emporia State University, 40-14 and 32-13. And then two weeks after finishing the regular season, the Gorillas were off to St. Joseph to play in their second bowl game in as many years. It was a constant battle all through the game. At halftime both teams went into their respective locker rooms with the score tied at seven. The score remained the same until the opening minutes of the fourth quarter, when the Northeast Missouri State Bulldogs fumbled on their 11 yard line. Three plays later Overton ran it in from two yards out. With the extra point by Ballou the score was 14-7. On their next possession, the Bulldogs drove 51 yards in nine plays to tie the game again at 14. A field goal with 14 seconds left by a second string kicker ended the hopes of Pitt State winning its second bowl game in a row. “We had a darn good football team this year and we had a successful season,” said Coach Randleman. “If we could have gotten a couple of breaks here and there along the way, who knows how good we might have been.” Records that were broken by Pitt State players in the 1980 season were: Longest Pass from scrimmage, 92 yards, Gene Wayenberg from Craig Kelly, 9-6-80, NMS; Most Total Of- fense, Single Fame, 703 yards, 11-1- 80, MWSC; Individual Receiving, Single Game, Gene Wayenberg, 215 yards, 11-1-80, MWSC; Individual Receiving, Season, 703 yards, Gene Wayenberg; Most Yards Rushing, Career, Richard Overton, 3,835; Most Extra Points Kicked, Career, Joe Ballou, 95; Most Yards Rushing, Single Game, Richard Overton, 257, 11-1-80, MWSC.—by Burl Powell FRONT ROW: Head Coach Hon Randleman, Randy Rodich, Bob Stringer, John Silovsky, Kevin Shipley, Steve Krull, Richard Overton, Jeff Cooper, Mike Hegarty, Richard Carter, Keith Jordan, Bill Wachter, Jim Matthews.

G“ PITTSBURG STATE UNIVERSITY “F Football—169 Scene behind the team Though some people do not realize it, there is more to a football or basketball game than meets the eye of the average sports fan, the colorful, synchronized halftime preformances by marching bands, acrobatic-style stunts used by cheer and yell leaders, precise routines by flag squads, pom-pon girls and twirlers. These organizations support athletes faithfully throughout the year and the work done by these patrons is often very long and taken for granted. It is almost common knowledge that the Pitt State football team returns from the summer break early to start practice for the upcoming season by going through three workouts a day. What many people are not aware of is that the Pride of the Plains Marching Band also cuts the summer break short to prepare for the football season. The summer of 1980, as most of us in the Midwest will recall, was one of PLAYING DILIGENTLY on the xylophone, Jim Jones follows as Diane Swender directs.— photo by Kyle Cleveland JUST KIDDING AROUND, Gus and Bianca Carbajo share a good time at the football game. —photo by Kyle Cleveland the hottest in recent history. For many weeks in a row the humidity- filled heat exceeded the 100 degree mark. Usually the fall brings some relief, but fall of 1980 still carried the scorching reminders of summer; the heat did not subside. Though this was not very comfortable, the heat did not stop the Gorilla football team or the Pride of the Plains Marching Band in their pre-season preparation. On the steamy afternoons before school began, the football team would be conducting drills on one side of the practice field while the marching band, flags, and twirlers 170—Athletic support were simultaneously involved in drills of their own on the other side. Ironically, though practice time is virtually the same for both the football team and marching band, the football team preforms an hour and the marching band only a 15 minute halftime show. “Everyone was in shorts and Tee- shirts and some were just in shorts,” said first trumpet Don Rogers, Kansas City junior, about the hot marching sessions before the start of fall classes. “If we could have gotten away with it we would have been in a lot less,” Rogers added. The 80 member Pride of the Plains conducted two sessions a day. The THE NEW UNIFORMS for the flag squad were a pleasant sight at halftime during home football games. —photo by Kyle Cleveland first was a rehearsal of the music to be played during the first halftime show, the second, and the hottest, was on the band’s practice field southeast of the Weede Physical Education Building. “We had about two weeks rehearsal in that three days before school started,” said Dr. Gary Corcoran, director of the Pride of the Plains. “They put in a lot of time. At some rehearsals it was over 100 degrees,” he said. Marching bands have been going through a metamorphosis during the past 10 years. The styles have been continued on page 172 DURING A HALFTIME ROUTINE, drummer Debbie Ghodstinat grits her teeth in preparation for the finale. —photo by Kyle Cleveland Scene transformed from learning simple marching steps and patterns into the now-complex marching techniques and musical charts. If really looked at, a marching band is a combination of several art forms: a visual art, musical art, and the art of body movement. In fact, marching is becoming such an art that it took Dr. Corcoran just under a month to diagram one halftime show. There is surely more to marching in a band than meets the eye. “We tend to use the band like a ballet company,” said Dr. Corcoran. “When the music is flowing the lines will themselves be flowing, when the music is aggressive the lines are more angular. Now we use the football field as a large stage.” The Pride of the Plains marched in every home football game, the 1980 Homecoming Parade, as well as other functions including the Yell Like Hell assembly during the Homecoming festivities. The impression should not be that the band feels marching is all work and no play. Those asked take pride in the way the band preforms. As one marching band member put it, “I think we have more fun at the football games than most of the fans do. We play, yell a lot, have a good time and get a little money for it too.” Another group of people that support Pitt State athletes are the members of the cheer and yell leading squads. It is the main task of these energetic, almost acrobatic, men and women to keep the crowds of fans and players in a winning spirit. There are various ways of doing this but the most popular and attention-getting are the circus-like stunts the squad executes. Very few people have the ability to quickly gain the knowledge and agility needed to perform these tasks. To do such a stunt there must be timing, balance, strength and the 172—Athletic support trust the partners need to have in each other. In one such stunt the yell leaders form the base of a pyramid, while the cheerleaders make the upper half. As soon as this structure of human bodies is completed, the cheerleader at the top leans back and falls into the arms of her partner some 14 feet below. When the falling woman is safely in her partner’s arms the others follow suit and rely on their catcher to keep them from meeting the ground. It is safe to say that practice, timing, balance, strength, and reliance are all important in being a yell or cheerleader. Just having the ability to do the stunts does not make one a cheerleader. It may take just a little of that “never say die” spirit and being able to keep this attitude even though things do not go as planned on the DURING PARENT’S DAY, the pom-pon squad, a new addition, display glove routines from the stands.

But I enjoy it, if you don’t enjoy doing something you should not be out there at all,” McKibben added. To keep in tune with new stunts and cheers the 16 member cheer and yell leading squad, including Guss and Gussie, met over the summer every other weekend. The squad attended a continued on page 174 Athletic support—-173 Scene camp in Ames, Iowa, and brought home the Award of Excellence, the camp’s Spirit Stick, and other awards for learning new cheers. The cheer and yell leading squad would not be complete without the frolics of our school’s mascots, Gus and Gussie Gorilla. These two fur- bound comedians romp the sidelines of football field and basketball court entertaining fans of all ages. At times they will enter the stands and sit on laps, give a blushing fan a hairy, jungle kiss; and Gus is known to be very friendly with the opposing teams cheerleaders, as well as any girl he finds attractive in the stands. Gus also has climbed high above the football crowd on the light poles in Brandenburg Stadium and watched the game from a genuine gorilla’s viewpoint. The roles of Gus and Gussie are played by Tim Dooley, Peoria, III., junior, and Diana Ellsworth, Olathe sophomore. During the basketball season the role of Gussie was shared CHEERING THE CROWD ON at a home game, Clayton Schul and Gus Gorilla give it all they got. —photo by Kyle Cleveland DURING A BREAK from practice, flag captain Paula Freisburg goes over the flag routine with the flag squad.—photo by Kyle Cleveland by Chris Knoedler, Hastings, Neb., junior. Pittsburg State also introduced a 15 member pom-pon squad to add to the halftime preformances. Though the squad was present at football games they did not perform until the basketball season. The squad started practices in early September in preparation for the routines done between the halftimes of the men’s and women’s basketball games. Pom- pon captain Deborah Cowan, Wichita freshman, said the squad rehearses an average of six hours a week. The work done by these people and organizations seems to be enjoyed by players and fans, but also sometimes seems to be taken for granted. The time taken by the marching band, pep band, flag girls, twirlers, pom-pon squad, and cheer and yell leaders must be done on free time that is very hard for today’s active college student to find. Though the band “SPIRIT, SPIRIT, LET’S HEAR IT!” Cheerleaders display spirit trophies during the football game.—photo by Kyle Cleveland members receive small stipend checks, these people who entertain, cheer on, and add to the total at- mosphere of the athletic contest get almost nothing more than the fun and satisfaction. The next time you see a marching band take the field and move across their stage, marching and playing in patterns and styles the complexity of which is almost amazing, the flag girls timing movements of the colorful banners with pulsating music, the twirlers at times with flaming batons, launching them high into the air and recovering them with accuracy, or the cheer and yell leaders preforming stunts and cheers with acrobatic style, think of the time and energy spent by the Pittsburg State athletic supporters in per- forming the tasks. Also, one might think what a football or basketball game would be like if these people were not present.—by Burl Powell 174—Athletic support AT THE EMPORIA VS. PITT STATE home football game, band member Lemuel Sheppard secures his shako for their march and halftime routine. That hat has to fit just right to stay on for the band's intricate routines —photo by Kyle Clevland Youth and inexperience take toll Youth and inexperience took its toll on the “future oriented” Pittsburg State University Basketball Gorillas as they closed out the 1980-81 season with a 4-24 overall mark and a 1-13 record in the Central States In- tercollegiate Conference under first year Head Coach John Hickman. “It was frustrating, said Hickman of the Gorillas’ season. “We suffered through the worst season I’ve ever had.” PSU dropped six of their first eight games in the first half of the season. The Gorillas opened the season by absorbing a 90-68 setback at the hands of the John Brown University Golden Eagles at Siloam Springs, Ark. Pitt State was never in control of the game except for an early 4-2 lead. The Golden Eagles raced to a 45-33 halftime spread and the Gorillas didn’t find the range the rest of the game. The PSU men tried to close off the JBU scoring spree as they applied a press but it didn’t work and the Golden Eagles prevailed. Pitt State dropped their home opener against the Marymount College Spartans 88-69, and a road game with the Benedictine College Ravens 67-59 in Atchison, before tasting victory. The Marymount College tilt didn’t fare well with the Gorillas because they couldn’t contain the likes of hot shooting forward Clyde Harvey who punished the nets for 26 points. The Spartans coasted to a 38-28 halftime bulge, and continued to dominate the game as they banged the buckets for a 50-41 second half scoring margin to roll to success. The BC thriller had the Gorillas fighting back from an early 20-10 difference to cut the Raven halftime iead to 32-25. In the last eight minutes of the game, PSU whittled Benedictine’s margin to 51-47, but miscues mounted to halt the comeback. However, with 32 seconds left, the Gorillas made another gallant rally to come within six, but faltered to the game clock. PSU came home to record their first win of the season by knocking off the UH-OH, THIS SHOT LOOKS TOUGH!” seems to be what Gorilla ball handler Reuben Abele is thinking as he goes for two. —photo by Bill Holtom 176—Men’s basketball on season Kansas Newman College Jets 68-63 after rebounding from a 21 point deficit on Nov. 27. The Gorillas were down by as many as 17 points twice in the first half, but managed to get it together somewhat in the closing of the half to get within 11 at 36-25. The Jets went in front 56-35 with 11:18 remaining in the contest on a layup by Curtis Smith, but that was the last basket Kansas Newman would see in the next 8:50. As the Gorillas brought in a scrambling press they began to warm up on the offensive basket for their comeback. PSU played two entirely different ballgames during the contest. During the first 29 minutes, Pitt State of- fense was almost non-existent and its defense was not much better, but in the second half, they came back to tack down a victory. Pitt State got their second win two weeks later in the seventh game of the season as they hosted JBU and revenged an opening season loss by coming away with a 79-75 victory on Dec. 10. John Brown U. carried a 44-43 lead into the half, but PSU kept pecking away and caught fire to build their largest lead of the game at 75-68. Fortunately, the Gorillas held off a furious Golden Eagle scoring spree towards the end to preserve the win. The second half of the season started out worse than the first as Pitt State went reeling to five straight losses before breaking the spell with an 82-71 victory over Benedictine College on the home court Jan. 12. Four of those five losses came in two classics at Kansas Newman in Wichita, Dec. 19-20, and at Missouri Southern State College in Joplin, Mo., Jan, 2-3. In the first game of the Kansas Newman classic, the Gorillas took it on the chin as they went down to the Friends University Falcons 85-71. Game two of the Kansas Newman classic inflicted Pitt State with a heartbreaking 71-70 loss to the Bethel College Threshers. PSU’s first contest in the Missouri Southern classic had the Gorillas faltering to the University of Missouri at Rolla Miners 80-59. Pitt State pulled to within 35-33 at halftime against Rolla and eventually tied the Miners at 41-41 with 15:20 remaining. However, things didn’t go right in the next five and half minutes as Rolla ignited a scoring spurt that allowed them to cruise to victory. The second game of the MSSC classic saw the Baker University Wildcats rally from an 11 point halftime deficit to clip PSU 68-66 on two free throws by guard Willie Carter with five seconds left in the game. Pitt State grasped a 40-29 halftime lead, but couldn’t control Carter, who hit 14 of his game-high 20 points in the second half to propel the Wildcats to victory. The PSU victory over Benedictine came with the aid of some fine shooting by guard Russ Pennell, Pittsburg sophomore, who ripped the nets for 21 points to lead a Gorilla offensive charge that was accurate on 55 per cent of its fieldgoals. After the win over Benedictine, PSU was unsuccessful in gaining a win in the next 10 tries. They lost seven of those games by an average of 4.71 points per game. One of those thrillers that ended in a Gorilla defeat was a tear-jerking 89-88 overtime home court loss to the Missouri Western State College Griffons on a follow shot by guard Jim Finley with :02 showing on the clock, Jan. 24, before a Parents Day crowd. The follow shot came after PSU had gone ahead 88-87 on a basket by forward Derek Thomas, Lee’s Summit, Mo., freshman. Missouri Western guard Arlo Vallejo put up a shot from the left corner that bounded off the rim, and the ball was grabbed by Finley who threw it in with seconds remaining in the overtime. Pitt State notched a 40-38 halftime edge and increased it to its biggest lead at 58-44 with 10:51 left in regulation time when Missouri Western’s Vallejo fouled PSU’s Thomas in the act of shooting. Thomas proceeded to can the two free throws for the margin. The Pitt State lead deteriorated to a 76-72 spread with :17 left in regulation time as PSU’s Pennell put in both ends of a one and one situation. The Gorillas coughed up the ball after a steal, with about 15 seconds left, and the Griffon’s Tyrone Crawford thwarted PSU hopes for victory by hitting two quick baskets that triggered a Missouri Western comeback to knot the score at 76. Crawford’s bucket with :05 remaining sent the game into a five minute overtime. The overtime started out good for the Gorillas as slick shooting Tommy Saunders, Kansas City, Mo., fresh- man, took the opening tipoff in for a layup to put PSU up 78-76. The Griffons countered with Crawford getting a basket on a goaltending call on PSU to tie it at 78. Unfortunately, luck was not with Pitt State as Missouri Western outscored the Gorillas 13-12 in the overtime. Also included in those games were home court losses to NAIA’s second ranked Fort Hays State University Tigers 71-61, and the Kearney State College Antelopes, a CSIC powerhouse and NAIA tournament participant, 77-70. In the Fort Hays State contest, Pitt State went to the dressing room with a 33-30 halftime advantage. PSU held their last lead in that contest at 44-42 with 12:35 left before the Tigers rallied for 14 unanswered points to take the lead. FHSU outscored PSU 29-17 the rest of the way for the win. continued on page 178 A SCREAMING OPPONENT doesn't disturb the concentration of Tommy Saunders as he moves the ball Gorilla-style —photo by Bill Holtom Youth The Kearney State game was a repeat of the FHSU game as the Gorillas once again jumped out to a 42-36 halftime margin. The second half told the story as the Antelopes rang up a 41-28 scoring advantage for the decision. Another one of those tension-filled narrow losses came when the Gorillas played a game against the Avila College Avalanche that preceded a Kansas City Kings’ game. Pitt State came up on the short end of the stick in an 89-85 barn burner in triple overtime after being up by 15 points at halftime. The Gorillas snapped their losing skid by nipping the visiting Emporia State University Hornets 70-68, Feb. 14. This victory kept playoff hopes alive for the Pitt State crew. In the Emporia State encounter, the Hornets only led once at 2-0 in the opening stage of the game. However, after a couple of ties, PSU put the throttle in high gear and went to the locker room with a 33-27 halftime spread. With 4:13 remaining the Gorillas went off to their largest lead, 66-58, when Thomas, after being fouled by Emporia State guard Tim Trent, put in both ends of a one and one situation. Fortunately, Pitt State held off a last second scoring flurry by forwards Joe Warren and Brian Watson, who made buckets to make final margin. Courtesy of the Dunkel power rating system, the Gorillas were still in contention with Emporia State for the last playoff spot, but needed to pull off a single win against either Fort Hays or Kearney State on the road to get it. Unfortunately, PSU lost to FHSU 95-81, and KSC 88-64, to end the season. Pitt State’s forward Reuben Abies, Columbia, Miss., reflected his thoughts on the season and added some words of encouragement for next year’s squad. “It was a learning experience,” he said. “We benefited from it so we will benefit from it next year. I’d be willing to bet that next year will be a definite turn-around.” FRONT ROW: Coach John Hickman, Mike Mount, James Ward, Sam Treece, Desmond Watson, Derrick Thomas, David Fern. BACK ROW: Steve Hawkins, Ricardo Stubbs, Tommy Saunders, Russ Pennell, Carl Patton, Steve Curran, Nate Quinn. The Gorillas experienced a problem keeping players. To begin with, they lost four players at the end of the first semester and to add to the dilemma, another player was lost due to injury during the second semester. “Those players were big and talented players,” said reserve for- ward Michael Scourten, Coffeyville senior. “When we lost those players it weakened the team in height and depth because the team really didn’t have a ‘Big Man.’” Pitt State lost a starter in 6-6 forward Mike Mount, Kansas City, Mo., fresh- man, who suffered a knee injury in a 74-58 loss to the Wayne State College Wildcats Jan. 23. “Mike getting hurt was really a big jolt to us,” Hickman said. “We built a solid starting unit with Mike at the post, one we felt comfortable with, but then when he got hurt, we just couldn’t find the right combinations. “Mike was really our only true center,” the Gorilla mentor said. “He is big and bulky and is a good screener. He played well for us and the rest of the kids have a lot of confidence in him.” CSIC honorable mention choices forward Thomas and guard Pennell led the Gorilla offense. Thomas was PSU’s leading scorer, averaging 15.3 points per game and placed third in the rebound category by snaring 5.9 caroms a game. “It is kind of exciting to make it as a freshman,” Thomas said. “It puts a bright spot in a dim season, but it’s not that big of thing. Making the CSIC first team will be something to shoot for next year, though. “I will have to do better next year,” PSU OPP. 68 John Brown University 90 69 Marymount College 88 59 Benedictine College 67 68 Kansas Newman College 63 69 Missouri Southern 83 58 Univ. of Mo. at Rolla 89 79 John Brown University 75 69 Kansas Newman College 73 Kansas Newman College Classic 71 Friends University 85 70 Bethel College 71 Mo.

It was a pleasant surprise, but I didn’t count on it. I just try to get the ball to Derek or someone that is open for a good shot,” he added. I can shoot well, but I try to concentrate on my passing because I think my passing con- tributes to the team.” “Russ had a good year,” Hickman said. “However, if wasn’t good enough for him because he wasn’t satisfied with it. He can be a better player.” Saunders added to the Gorilla of- fense, pumping in an average of 9.9 points per game and grabbing 3.1 rebounds per game, while ranking second on the team in assists, handing out 38. Saunders didn’t start coming on in the scoring derby until the second half of the season, but in one game against Missouri Western he did manage to burn the nets for 29 points. The Gorillas hope to improve next season as they return their top seven players, including their starting five players that averaged 54,5 points of their offensive attack. Only two seniors will be lost to PSU next season in Scourten and reserve forward Sam Treece, Coffeyville senior.—by Frank Scimeca Men’s basketball—179 Gussies have climbing season The opening of Ernest Hemingway’s short story, “The Snows of Kilimanjaro”, tells of a frozen leopard carcass on the western summit of the great mountain and that no one could explain what such an animal was seeking at that height. Critics debate on what Hemingway was trying to say in the passage, but most agree the writer was conveying the feeling of always striving for improvement, a climbing beyond the norm To strive, to climb for a goal is never easy. Sacrifices must be made and obstacles overcome. The comparing of a basketball team to Hemingway’s leopard seems overly dramatic to some, but to some it is not. To those who have a goal in mind- in athletics it is to tap one’s full potential—the road is indeed long and at times very unstable. But the true athlete, and teams made up of these people, never want to stop climbing, though they really do not know what it is that pushes tnem onward, upward. Could it be just to win? To the true athlete there are never losers. The 1980-81 Gussies basketball season started very early for the young squad, in August, but the first game was not until Nov, 13. The fall workouts were long and very hot, and the days slowly crawled forward until it was time to enter the 40-game schedule. The climb was about to begin for both coach and team. The team was composed of three seniors, Dana Cunningham, 5 1 T1 forward from Shawnee; Terri Hoseney, 5’11” center from Manhattan; and Lea Kennedy, 57” guard from St, Paul. Two juniors, Shelly Garrison, 5 11” forward from Pittsburg; and Tammy Hainline, 5’9” forward from Stanley.

Three freshman rounded out the team’s roster: Felicia Akins, 6 4” center from Floyd, NM.; Jamie Clowers, 5 9” guard from Manchester, Mo.; and Karen Gipson, 5 7” guard from Crane, Mo. The Gussies opened the season against Connors College in the three day Crowder College Invitational Tournament in Neosho, Mo. The ladies took the early lead but then found themselves in the middle of a seven-minute dry spell. By the end of the first half, Connors State College had pulled into a three point lead. The half ended with a 34-31 score. Resting between the halves did not help the cagers. The lead kept slipping away until the last stanza ended in a 62-51 advantage for the Oklahomans of Connors State. On Friday, Nov. 14, the Gussies took the court against ninth ranked Crowder College. The Roughrider two-game winning streak over Pitt State was broken when forward Shelly Garrison, a transfer from Crowder College, hit a 26-footer at the buzzer giving her new team a 50- 49 edge. The Gussies went into Saturday’s game against Northern Arkansas with a 1-1 record. Northern Arkansas had been ranked 12 in the nation the year before. “The first half was slow, neither team played well,” Coach Barbara Crill said after the game. At the intermission Pitt State led by nine at 23-14. “The second half was a lot better. We went out and played some good basketball. As a matter of fact, that was the best half of ball that I have seen any Gussie team play,” Crill commented. The ladies played well enough for second place. The season had not started bad for the Gussies. They had beaten two noted powers and it seemed the 40- game schedule played in the 79-80 season had payed off. But the ladies had 37 games remaining and a lot of climbing to do before the season’s end. The team then played Northern Arkansas Community College and won 53-50; they then met Kansas continued on page 182 IN AREA THREE SEMI-FINALS against Midland College, Lea Kennedy shoots in the final minutes of the half.—photo by Bill Holtom Women’s basketball—181 Gussies State University and were mauled 96- 40. With a 3-2 early season record, the Gussies played in their own Turkey Tournament Nov. 28-30. Pitt State won the consolation finals and placed two players on the All-Tournament team. The Gussies dropped the first game of the tourney to Hutchinson Junior College, 76-68. The early loss put the ladies in the consolation bracket where they met Lincoln University. Lincoln had entered the bracket by losing to Western Illinois University 88-71. The Gussie defense stiffened in the second half and held Lincoln to 10 points to come from behind and win 64-51. The next game the tourney yielded for the Gussies was against the University of Texas at Arlington. This game was to decide the winner of the consolation bracket. UT grabbed the early lead and led 27-24 at the end of the first half. As in the game with Lincoln, the Gussies came from behind. They out- scored the Texas team 31-16 in the last half and coasted to a 55-43 win. Ann Woloszyk and Kelly Krumsick paced Pitt State with 16 and 10 points. Carla Barto collected 10 rebounds and six points to aid the cause. Woloszyk was named to the first All-Tournament team and Krumsick was elected into the second. From Dec. 4 to Jan. 13, the Gussies won only four of nine games. It was during this time that the ladies began to regress from their upward movement. At this point in the season Coach Crill and her team had already been in 17 games. For most teams, the 17-game mark would be near the end of the season. Coach Crill knew the long season would take its toll on her young team, but she was looking to the future. She was looking ahead to the time when the experience and stamina her team was gaining, was climbing to, would weld them into a solid team. With this in mind, Coach Crill and team catapulted themselves into con- ference play on the night of Jan. 13 against Missouri Southern State College. The Gussies fell behind early and trailed by 13 at the end of the first 20 minutes. The 13 point margin was too much for Pitt State to overcome as the Lady Lions of MSSC won 76-62. The Gussies had three players in double figures: Woloszyk scored 11, Lisa Grant. 10, and Terri Hoseney also added 10. The ladies then went on the road, Jan. 16-17, to play Central States Intercollegiate Conference opponents Emporia State and Washburn Universities. The Lady Hornets of ESU were too much to handle as they beat Pitt State 77-45. Emporia took a 39-25 halftime lead and that was as close as the Gussies would get. The next night, Jan. 17, they traveled to Washburn for their fourth conference game of the year. The Lady Blues had pulled out to a 42-18 halftime lead before the Gussies took the game into control. Led by Krumsick, who scored 20 points, Pitt State outscored Wash- burn 35-17 in the second half. But just as quickly as the momentum shifted to Pitt State, it left. The Gussies fell short 59-53 and were now 1-3 in CSIC play and 9-18 overall. The next game the schedule provided was with national power Kansas University. The first half of the game was much closer than the final score told. Krumsick, Garrison, and Woloszyk opened the contest with a bucket each and the Gussies took an early six-point lead. Mid-way through the first half the Jayhawks slipped into a man-to-man full court defense that caught Pitt State off guard. As the first half ended KU had pulled away by 10 at 31-21. Krumsick held the hot hand in the opening minutes of the second half, netting the first six points. KU’s Magan Scott, however, was also hot and kept the Gussies from cutting away on the Jayhawk score. As was the case in the first half, Pitt State could not shake the turnover bug. The Gussies threw the ball away 31 times during the contest. This fact alone had much to do with the outcome of the game. Despite the turnovers and periods of lack of concentration, the Gussies plainly proved that they have the ability to compete with larger schools. The final score, 81-52, did not tell the whole story. The Gussies climbed on through the long season. From Jan. 23 to Feb. 25, the Gussies won but four of 13 games. When it looked as if the season had beaten the team down, they found new life. What were in the middle of the season sluggish and tired players, were at its end very much tran- sformed. They moved more quickly, they played with a freshness and willingness. With this new vigor, on Feb. 28, the Gussies entered the FRONT ROW: Karen Gipson, Donna Lipoglav, Coach Barbara Crill, Kelly Krumsick, Lea Kennedy. BACK ROW: Sue Zimbleman, assistant trainer; Tammy Hainline, Jamie Clowers, Carla Barto, Lisa Grant, Felicia Akins, Terri Hoseney, Shelly Garrison, Dana Cunningham, Ann Woloszyk, Gaye Merrill, trainer. We were aggressive and knew what we were doing. 182—Women’s basketball District 10 playoffs. Pitt State started their District 10 championship bid seeded number three behind Marymount and Ft. Hays State. The Gussies, 16-21 overall, drew Southwestern College for their opener. The game was close in the early going. With 16:00 left, the Gussies lead was only two at 8-6. Pitt State then caught on fire and outscored the Moundbuilders 36-13 in the first half and took a 44-19 lead at the half. The cagers cruised the rest of the way to a 72-45 victory. With the win, Pitt State moved into the semifinal game facing conference foe Ft. Hays State University. The last time the two teams had met Ft. Hays nipped the Gussies by one at 85-84. In this game it would be Ft. Hays that would feel the Pitt State sting. The game was even in the second half as both teams scored 30; it was not even in the first half. The Gussies pulled away by 10 and the Lady Tigers never caught up. The Pitt State women won 64-54. Woloszyk was the high-pointer for the Gussies with 22 points and 11 rebounds. Krumsick and Lea Kennedy chipped in 18 and 14 points. The Ft. Hays win shot the women into the finals against Tabor College and the game was played on the Gussies home floor. The Gussies came out strong, taking control of the game early. With 16:42 left in the first half, Krumsick pulled the trigger on a jump shot that put her team up by two at 6-4. Less than 50 seconds later, Krumsick was fouled, hit the free throw that converted the foul into a three-point play, and pushed the women’s lead to nine at 13-4. Krumsick was not the only Gussie holding a hot shooting hand; Woloszyk was also ripping the nets. The half ended with the ladies on top 36-19. Woloszyk and Krumsick combined for 25 of their 36 points. The second half of the contest was the same as the first, all Pitt State. The Gussies outscored Tabor by 13 points and easily iced the game 74- 44. The defensive effort by the Pitt State women baffled Tabor, causing them to turn the ball over 32 times. Coach Crill gave high praise for her team’s defensive show. “I thought the defense really put the other team in trouble,” Crill said after winning the District 10. “We were aggressive and knew what we were doing.” Following the game, the Gussies were awarded their first place plaque and Crill was named the NAIA District 10 women’s coach of the year. “A lot of people don’t realize this is the state championship,” Crill said. “It’s really quite an honor for us and I’m just as pleased as I can be.” The District 10 champions then went into the NAIA Area Three playoffs. There they would meet Midland Lutheran College of Freemont, Neb.

Behind the scoring of Woloszyk and Krumsick, the Pitt State women stayed on top most of the first half, even though the lead changed hands 12 times during the half. With 3:08 to play before intermission, Midland’s Kari Kramme hit the free throw to cap a three point play putting her team on top for the first time at 37-34. At the half, Midland held a two-point lead over the Gussies at 44-42. Pitt State opened the second stanza with two of their five starters, Ken- nedy and Garrison, carrying three fouls each. The Gussies were able to take the lead only once during the second half. With 17:41 remaining, Krumsick hit the jumper that put her team up by two at 48-46. Midland rolled up their biggest lead of the night at 66-56 with 8:12 left on the clock. The Gussies would not say die and began to battle back. With two minutes to play they had pulled within two points at 70-68. The last two minutes seemed as if they would never end.

The Warriorettes ran the shot clock down so the Gussies would get the ball with only five ticks to tie the game. The inbounds pass went to Krumsick who had time to fire up a 25-footer. The shot rolled off the back of the rim and fell to the floor. The seaon had ended in the NAIA playoffs with the score of 76-74. “The second year of a new program is lined with problems and ob- stacles,” said Coach CrilL “But somehow we got through it all and I feel that the ladies grew up.”—by Burl Powell BREAKING LOOSE FROM THE PACK is Lisa Grant, who successfully receives a pass and muscles her way up for a shot. —photo by Bill Holtom 184—Womens basketball Women’s basketball—185 Nucleus on the shining The 1980 volleyball season should be remembered as one of the brightest in Pittsburg State University history. The Gussies, under Head Volleyball Coach Joan Warrington, compiled a regular season record of 32-13-3, finished among the top three in five tournaments, wrapped up a second place in the Central States Intercollegiate Conference, and to cap off the season hosted the first National Association of In- tercollegiate Athletics National Volleyball Championship for Women, where they finished eighth. The season was indeed a fine one. “This season was the best in Pitt- sburg State’s history,5’ said Coach Warrington, “and the best I’ve had with a volleyball team.” Three seniors, Julia Maxton Alters, Cherokee, Lea Kennedy, St. Paul, and Carol Stephan Ricke, Bonner Springs, combined to make the nucleus of the team. The seniors had played the previous three years together and provided much of the team leadership and backbone. The Gussies wasted little time starting the season on a winning note. After a controlled scrimmage with Coffeyville Community College, which the spikers easily won, they made their debut in their own tour- nament, the Gussie Invitational. After two days of tourney play Pitt State entered the finals against Northwest Missouri State University. Even though Northwest beat the Gussies in two straight games, the second place finish spoke for itself. “This was the first time that a Pitt State volleyball team has ever made it to the finals of any tournament,” Warrington said after the Invitational. “This is a good example of the kind of volleyball that people will see all year long.” Coach Warrington was right. It was a very good example and people did see that type of play all year long. During the second week of the season the spikers traveled to Newton to take the court against Bethel College and Emporia State University. The Gussies fell to Bethel in straight games but then defeated Emporia State. That same week the DURING THE NAIA VOLLEYBALL TOUR- NAMENT Julie Alters cries out after delivering a spike to her opponents.—photo by Bill Holtom 186—Volleyball side Gussies entered the Missouri Southern Volleyball Invitational, and, for the second time in as many weeks, played their way into the finals. The final game in the tourney slated Pitt State and Tulsa University. The spikers had met TU earlier in the tournament with both teams winning one (some matches in the Missouri Southern Invitational were two games instead of the usual three). TU handed the Gussies three straight losses at 15-9, 15-9, 15-9. Warrington said she was pleased with the team’s play even though the Gussies “ran out of gas” in the final game. The spikers found the confidence needed to become the best team in Pitt State record books early on in season play. In the next weeks the Gussies rolled on their way. By the last of Sep- This is a good example of the kind of volleyball that people will see all year. tember the spikers held a won-loss record of 13-6-2. On October third the Gussies were in Wayne, Neb., to start play in the CSIC conference. The spikers quickly pushed their con- ference record to 7-0 and the overall record to 21-6-2. The week Pitt State threw in its bid for the conference title they lost two tough matches to conference foes Kearney State and Emporia State. The loss to Emporia canceled the Gussie’s hope of at least a tie in the CSIC race. To add to the disap- pointments, Cindy Hey, McCune sophomore, was involved in an auto accident and removed from the line- up with a broken wrist and elbow. Hey was an important cog in the Gussie spiking and serving attack. The Gussies finished second in the CSIC with a 12-2 conference record. “We were really happy to finish with the conference record that we did. 12- 2 is not bad at all and 27-10-2 overall is very good,” Warrington said. On November 7, Pitt State entered the State Volleyball Tournament sporting a record of 29-11-3, and hopes were high of winning it. “We are going to work extra hard in practice this week,” Warrington said the week of the State Tournament, “and go into this tourney with high hopes of winning it. We would like to be state champions,” she had said. The opening day of the tourney, the Gussies defeated Emporia State in straight games 15-1, 15-11, and then met resistance from St. Mary of the Plains. It took St. Mary three games to defeat Pitt State, 13-15, 15-11, and 14-16.

Coach Warrington spoke of this a week before the Nationals were to start. “I am very proud of this year’s team,” she had said, “but we can’t let down now.

The tournament con- tained 16 teams ranging from Rochester, N.Y., to Azusa, Calif., and 14 states in between. The Gussie volleyball team, which was seeded fourth going into the Nationals, started the first day of play in winning style. They took the court against Greenville College and handed the Illinois-based team scores of 15-7 and 15-13. if there was any question that the Gussies could compete in national competition, the answer rang loud after their mauling of Greenville. The same day, the spikers met Milton College of Milton, Wis. The matches with Milton were no trouble as the Gussies took the game with scores of 15-6 and 15-5. When things looked to be rolling the way of Pitt State, the host team lost to a tough Franklin College of Franklin, Ind. Just as the spikers easily handled Milton and Greenville, Franklin kept the Gussies on the losing side of the net.

Today, if you don’t jog at least a mile a day and live in your Nike tennis shoes you are definitely not “with it.” According to many physicians, jogging reaps benefits for all ages. It increases the lung capacity, exer- cises the heart and also tones the body. The Pittsburg area provides a lot of wide-open spaces for jogging with interesting scenery as well as a good running surface. According to The Complete Book of Running, by runner James Fixx, in 1978 the popularity of jogging in the United States jumped to ap- proximately 6.5 million runners. This number is ten times the amount of a decade ago. “Jogging requires little equipment and can be practiced anywhere and anytime of the year,” Fixx said. According to Bill Welkner, Gibsonia, Penn., senior, “Jogging regularly in the morning inside or outside makes the start of the day a little easier to get through.” Jogging requires no type of athletic talent. As long as you have a spare hour or two you can easily become an avid jogger. But it also takes a certain amount of dedication and will-power.

Rick Williams sets a rigorous pace for himself, —photo by Bill Holtom PSU TRACK TEAM MEMBER Ramona Lint- ner gets exercise by jogging across campus. — photo by Dot Koehler definitely takes a little ambition. Running is not for everyone. “Jogging not only is good exercise but it also helps clear my mind. After being in those stuffy classrooms all day it’s a treat just to smell fresh air,” Diane Blair, Pittsburg sophomore, said. Along with students, many teachers at the University are avid joggers. Dr. Ralph Wright, chairman of the Psychology and Counseling Department is “66 and past”, he said, and has been an avid jogger for about six years. “Sometimes people past 40 think they shouldn’t be doing such strenuous activity but I’ve found that it improves your total phsysical health,” Wright said. “Since I’ve always been interested in total health, I find it slows my heart rate and generally slows the risk of heart disease and arthritis, diseases people my age are prone to. It also improves mental health and I’d recommend it to everyone,” Wright said. Health is important to everyone, and phsyical fitness is the “in” thing these days. Jogging currently seems to be the public’s answer to a lifetime of sports for fun. —by Cindy Cowan A VETERAN OF TWO MARATHONS, Steve Zander, is preparing for a marathon in Dallas, Tex. —photo by Dot Koehler Jogging—191 Season improves There are 300 teams in the men’s division of the National Cross Country Meet, and to finish in ninth place is a very good ac- complishment,” said Dave Suenram, head men’s cross country coach, concerning his team’s performance in the 1980 National Meet. Scott Currier, Pittsburg junior, was the only runner from Pitt State to earn All-American honors this year, but John McCreedy, Bangor, Northern Ireland, freshman, just missed being an All-American by one place. Currier placed 20 with a time of 25:14 and McCreedy was in the 26 position, with a time of 25:21. The first 25 places are named National Association of Intercollegiate for Athletics All-Americans. Other Pitt State harriers competing, and their place and time in the Nationals were: Jeff Stein, Topeka junior, placed 46, 25:38; Lite Budden, Wakefield sophomore, placed 90, 26:01; Dan Hinton, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore, placed 152, 26:32; John Johnson, Parsons freshman, placed 161, 26:40; and Robert Marquardt, Kansas City, Ks., junior, placed 215, 27:31. Pitt State opened up the season at home in a dual with Wichita State University. Just like most of the meets this year the weather was hot and humid, which made it hard on all the runners. This time the tem- was 98 degrees and very humid. The first three runners were from Wichita, and McCreedy was the first runner in for Pitt State. He came in fourth place with a time of 22:49 for a 4.5 mile race. The next Pitt State harrier in was Currier in seventh place with a time of 23:12, and right behind him in eighth place was Stein with a time of 23:14. Budden came in ninth with a time of 24:02 and Marquardt turned in a 24:06 time and eleventh place. Wichita State won the dual with 19 points and Pitt State scored 37 points. The next meet for the harriers was the Wichita State University Gold Classic Meet. Thirteen teams competed in this meet, with Wichita State winning the meet with 66 points and Pitt State coming in ninth with 184 points.

Again Pitt State came in as the in the end Season Having three All-Americans on one team is quite an accomplishment, especially when only one team had more All Americans than we did, which was Wisconsin-Parkside, who had four runners honored,” said Bob McLeod, head women’s cross country coach, on his team’s performance in the National Cross Country Meet. The lady harriers started out the season with only three runners, which meant that they would not be able to score any team points because there must be five runners to make up a team. “The first meet we went to was the Wichita State University triangular. We weren’t ready for this meet; we still had lots of training to do before any of our runners would be in shape to run,” said McLeod. Janet Wilson, Leoti junior, was the first runner in for Pitt State. She ended up in seventh place with a time of 19:01 for the three mile course. Gayla Rothers, Gardner freshman, was only two places behind Wilson. In ninth place her time was 19:28. Gwen Ball, Welda junior, was the last runner in for Pitt State. She was in 14th place with a time of 22:42. The next weekend the Pitt State harriers traveled to Wichita again for the WSU Gold Classic Invitational. As in all but two of their meets this year, the ladies were unable to compete for a team place because they only had three runners. “This was a lot tougher meet. We ran a lot better than what we did last week in the triangular, even though the course was a 5,000 meter course, which is about 200 yards farther than three miles,” said McLeod. Wilson again was the first runner in for Pitt State, in 22nd place and a time of 19:37. Rothers finished up in 26th place and a time of 19:44. Ball crossed the finish line as number 79 with a time of 22:22. The next meet was the first of the two meets that Pitt State could score team points. It was a dual with Emporia State University. Wilson won her first meet of the year, with a time of 18:36 for the three mile course. Rothers was right behind her in second place with a time of 18:55. Rosemary Hessman, Pittsburg fresh- man, was running her first race of the year for the lady harriers. She ended up in fourth place with a time of 194—Cross country 19:56. “Rose did an outstanding job for us, considering it was the first time. She hadn’t run that distance for a long time 1 McLeod said. Ball and Ramona Lintner, Wellsville sophomore, made up the rest of the team. Emporia won the meet by only one point. “ESU finished second in the Nationals behind Wisconsin- Parkside, so I think this was a significant point in our season,” said McLeod. The next meet the harriers traveled to was the ESU Invitational in Em- poria, but since there were only four runners on the team, the harriers were again unable to score any team points. Wilson won her second meet of the year by running three miles with a time of 18:17. Rothers crossed the finish line in third place and a time of 18:37. “Gayla has improved tremendously since the beginning of the season,” said McLeod. Hessman took seventh place with a time of 19:18. “This was only Rose’s second meet and she lost her con- centration and wasn’t ready to run,” said McLeod. Ball placed 14th with a time of 20:27. “Gwen has been improving every meet. 1 am very pleased with her performances,” said McLeod. Wilson again won the next meet which was the Bethany Invitational.

Wilson won the race, while Rothers, Hessman, and Ball were behind her. The last regular season meet of the year was the Ozark Invitational at Springfield, Mo. “We didn’t perform well at this meet. The competition was very tough,” McLeod admitted. Wilson took 12th place, while Hessman finally beat Rothers for the first time. Hessman finished in 20th place and Rothers finished 22nd.

Dr. Dickey explains the ad- ministrative reasoning behind the funding Bitroversy.—photo by Dot Koehler A few years ago, Jimmy Carter’s controversial Health, Education and Welfare sSecretary Joseph Califano ruled that schools receiving federal money could not discriminate in any educational activity or program on the basis of sex. Philosophically, this rule has met with uniform approval, but practically, its application to men’s and women’s varsity athletics at PSU has caused some controversy, CaJifano’s rule is commonly referred to as Title IX. Dr. Elwyn Davis, mathematics professor and women’s track coach for the years 1979 and 1980, provides one way of looking at Title IX and its relationship to men’s and women’s athletics on campus. “I think that Title IX was a good thing in that it brought to schools’ attention that they needed to provide competitive opportunities for women. But I think, too, that men’s athletics over the years earned the support that they have: they went out; they worked with no equipment; the coaches learned what was right to do, they learned what was wrong to do; the athletes learned what it really cost to win. And I think it is wrong for the women to immediately demand the same resources that the men have—they have to earn it. “But now, on this campus, I think the programs we have going for women have earned support—just by showing that they know what it costs to go out there and compete hard! I think Dr. Warrington has done wonders for the women’s program here; things have really turned around. The only sport in which they were competitive when she came was softball. In every sport, now, they’ve been competitive,” said Dr. Davis. But Dr. Bill Dickey, chairman of the Department of Physical Education, also has feelings about Title IX. Dr. Dickey said, “Of course, I really think there are a lot of interpretations as to what Title IX really represents. But from our particular vantage point, we take the view that we are very much in compliance with what Title IX is asking, or inferring. What we strive for in athletics is to be sure that the men —and the women—on this campus who want to give con- sideration to varsity sports have an equal consideration applied to their opportunities to participate in sports. For men at the present time we have football, basketball, track anc for women, we have volleyball, basketball, softball and track and MEMBERS OF THE TRACK TEAM were upset to hear that their squad might be eliminated in the coming year.

Showing concern for their future as women tracksters, Janet Wilson, Linda Lonshire, and Barb Spies attended the Title IX meeting. —photo by Dot Koehler field. And in this way we feel like we’re able to accomodate at least approximately the same number of men as we do women. “The budgets are formulated in such a way that they speak to equality, the equipment, the training rooms, the practice facilities, the practice times, the travel accomodations, the arrangements made for on-the-road accomodations—this sort of thing. All this we try to make as equal as possible, so as to, from our view, be in compliance with Title IX,” Dr. Dickey continued. “I don’t doubt for a minute that Dr. Warrington would take issue with some of these things because it’s kind of the nature of the thing right now, really, in my estimation. It would take, in my estimation, a kind of unique situation for a woman who is involved in the administrative role to be certain that everything was in compliance,” concluded Dr. Dickey. On whether PSU falls in line with Title IX, Dr. Joan Warrington, coordinator of Women’s Athletics, said, “I think, philosophically, as long as you’re giving lip-service to anything, you can make it be ac- comodated. In the practical aspects of it, in the reevaluation of it, in terms of numbers, in terms of finances, in terms of scholarships, operating dollars, staffing, office space, access to facilities and equipment—if you start to look at the objective criteria by which you evaluate Title IX—we don’t have equal opportunity. An example of inequality; when the men are brought back at Christmastime, their housing and food are taken care of, but women come back at their own expense. The women take care of themselves because we don’t have the money for that sort of thing,” said Dr. Warrington, —by Jim Abshire Title Nine—197 Raquetbdl Non-varsity sport is challenging If one non-varsity sport can be said to dominate the extracurricular time of Pittsburg Staters, it has to be racquetball. The sport has attracted a lot of attention, and some very dif- ferent people. According to Dr. Tom Bryant, professor in the Department of Health, Physical Education, and Recreation, there are four racquetball programs here at Pittsburg State University. They include an in- troductory course designed to teach the game, a Lifetime Sports course emphasizing racquetball, an in- tramural program including racquetball competition and general use of the racquetball courts on a first-come-first-serve basis when they are not being used for classes. Dr. Bryant feels that racquetball is a great sport. “It’s fun, but it does get the heart rate up enough to get a training effect on the cardiovascular system. The minute you walk into the court, you can have some success; the ball never leaves the room. That’s important for people starting out on an activity. If you can have a little success, you can get motivated. The guys and gals can participate in racquetball together. You can have mixed doubles and mixed doubles tournaments.” Jack Suenram, Pittsburg history graduate student, plays racquetball and has good things to say about it. Suenram said, “I really enjoy the game a lot. It’s a real challenge to me. FINDING RAQUETBALL A FUN and fast paced sport, Mark Ashton, Bob Cofelt and Jeff Dilley practice their skills on the courts at Weede.—photo by Scott Miller I like to play in tournaments and get good competition. A lot of people play around here, but the level of play is not too high.” Suenram continued, “I started about two and a half years ago. I played in the intramurals out here when I was a sophomore, and I got third. Then I started playing in tournaments after that. I’ve played in places like Par- sons and Joplin, and I play at Olympic Racquetball—tournaments like that, locally. I’ve won several of those.” Suenram takes his racquetball very seriously; he trains to be a better player. He said, “Right now I haven’t been hitting any at all. But one day I’ll lift weights and the next day I’ll do some running exercises.” A seemingly unlikely convert to racquetball is Father Robert Larson, chaplain at the Newman Center. Larson said, “Ever since my first year of college, I’ve played handball. I really liked handball because it was a fast sport, a challenging sport.” Racquetball was played then, too, but Larson remembers, “We used to joke about it, those of us who played handball. We used to say ‘That’s a nice game for old guys who can’t play handball anymore!’” Then one day Larson borrowed a racquet, went to the courts with a couple of his friends, and played a game of cut- throat, a version of the game with three participants, each playing the other two. “And I found that racquetball was just as challenging and just as fast, or faster, than handball. Not only that, but it didn’t mess up your hand. I used to find that when I played handball, if I had to go back and do some typing, for example, my hand would be swollen up, and I’d have to wait a while.” Larson isn’t the only one who started playing racquetball after first playing handball. Dr. William G. Allen, assistant professor of geology and geography, used to play at Weede with some of his friends. “Handball is what we started with when the new gymnasium was built, but some guys began to shift to racquetball because it wasn’t as hard on their hands. After a while you couldn’t find any handball players, so I started playing racquetball too,” said Dr. Allen. He likes racquetball for a lot of reasons. “It’s a great sport. It’s an all- weather sport; it’s a wonderful thing to do in the wintertime.” After some reflection, he added, “You know what I’ve always thought about racquetball and handball? There is a certain amount of privacy involved in it. When you’re in that little room, with the door shut, you’re rather private. If there’s anybody observing you, you don’t notice them because they’re above you. It’s a great way to become friends with somebody. My wife and I both play a bit, and it’s good for our relationship. It’s a private thing, and it’s good exercise.” Melody Roberts, Pittsburg junior, said, “I love the game. It helps after 'a hard day at school’ to go over and get my aggressions out. We play singles a lot, sometimes doubles; but then it seems crowded—too many people in the way! I like to play games where the score is real close, ‘cause the game gets real tense, and you start playing a lot harder. But then you get mad at the bad shots you make,” she laughed. ”1 like it most because of the exercise. We usually play for about an hour.” Roberts said that it is a great way to work off a lot of calories in a short period of time. “Everybody ought to try it—it’s fun!” Dr. Bryant concluded, “I think it does something about developing your social attitudes and respect for one another in terms of athletic ability. For people who want to enjoy being together, racquetball is a super game. Just super.”—by Jim Abshire IN AN ATTEMPT to defeat his opponent, Bob Coffelt returns a serve.

Becoming the title-holder is great for team morale, whether or not all men have con- tributed points to the final group score. Winning the conference is a group effort, he said. PSU pulled in 11 first place awards and 12 second places at the conference, which took place Saturday, May 2, in Joplin, Mo. Pitt State outscored its nearest opponent, Fort Hays State University, by 98 team points. Leading individual winners for PSU included Galen Lewis, Douglass senior, and Darryl Ramsey, Brooklyn, NY, sophomore, both of whom won three first places and one second place for a total of 23 points each. Lewis and Ramsey were awarded the Prentice Gudgen Award, given annually to the PSU track performer who acquires the highest point total in the CSIC meet. The award winners were members of the winning 440 and mile relay teams. The 440 yard team consisted of Lewis, Ramsey, Edgar McAnderson, Lansing sophomore, and Clay Van Hoose, Abbeyviile junior. The win- ning time was 41.9. The mile relay made up of Lewis, Ramsey, McAnderson, and Ernest Clayton, Denver, Colo., senior. Their winning time was 3:18.4. Ramsey also finished first in the 200 meter dash with a time of 21.9, and Lewis received his other first in the 400 meter dash with a time of 48.3. McAnderson, Clayton, and Bill Holtom, Topeka junior, brought more points to the conference team with big wins. McAnderson, in addition to his win with the relay team, took first place in the 100 meter dash with a time of 11.1. Clayton added a first in the long jump competition to his belt. Holtom was a double winner in the discus and the shot put. He set a conference record with a throw of 156’8” in the discus, and won the shot put competition with a heave of 52T Other first place finishers for PSU were Mel Smith, Pryor, Okla., junior, 400 meter hurdles in a time of 53.9; Cliff Hopkins, Shawnee sophomore, triple jump with a jump of 48’; and Chris Murdock, Pittsburg junior, high jump with a leap of 6’10”, which tied a conference record set by Murdock in 1980. Second place finishers for Pitt State in the running events were Scott Currier, Pittsburg junior, 5,000 meter run with a time of 15:07.7; Van Hoose, 100 meter dash with a time of 11.2; Roddy Gaynor, Sligo, Ireland, EVERYONE IS A WINNER on the 880 yard relay team at the Emporia Relays.

Second place finishers in the field events were Jim Huffman, Neosho, Mo., junior, long jump with a jump of 22’3”; Randy Russell, Olathe sophomore, discus with a toss of 153’; Angus Turner, Kansas City freshman, javelin with a throw of 190’9”; and Hopkins, high jump with a leap of 6’8”. PSU won four third place finishes: Mark McDougal, Spring Hill junior, third in the discus with a throw of 146’9”; Russ Jewett, Olathe sophomore, 400 meter hurdles with a time of 54.5; Joe Dauben, Ft. Scott freshman, 100 meter high hurdles with a time of 15.4; and Gaynor, 1,500 meter run in a time of 4:00.2. The 1981 team had many out- standing performances in addition to the conference showings, however. At the Drake Relays, where some of the toughest competition assembles in Des Moines, Iowa, Pitt State sprinters ran the 1600 meter relay for a second place finish and the 400 meter relay for a third place finish. Another “big” meet for the team was the Arkansas Relays, which took place in Fayetteville. “I am really pleased with the way the team competed in this meet, despite the weather conditions,” Suenram said. Twelve teams competed in this meet, with participating schools from the Big Eight, Big 10 and the South- western Conferences, which are Division One schools in the National Collegiate Association of Athletics. The 400 meter relay , with a time of 41.8 seconds, took the only first place finish. The 1600 meter relay snagged a second place finish with a time of 3:18.7. Seven other places ________________continued on page 202 DISTANCE RUNNERS ARE dwarfed by the giant scoreboard at Drake University, Des Moines, Iowa, during the nationally known Drake Relays. —photo by Burl Powell 200—Track and field STADIUM Everyone were received by the Pitt State thinclads at the Arkansas Relays. Gaynor ran for a fourth place finish in the 800 meter race. Fifth place awards went to Van Hoose in the 100 meter and Smith in the 400 meter in- termediate hurdles, Hopkins in the triple jump, and Currier in the steeple chase. Holtom won the only sixth place Pitt State award at Arkansas for his efforts in the shot put. PSU track and field men attended other outdoor meets as well, and they brought recognition to the school at all competitions. Among the other meets attended were the Emporia Relays, the University of Kansas Relays, and dual meets with South- western Missouri State University and Emporia State University, and the season finisher, which was the District 10 Outdoor Meet at Emporia. Suenram speaks of the two track seasons—indoor and outdoor—as one long season. “I really view track as one season,” he said. “Indoor has two goals. One goal is the National Indoor meet, and the other goal is to prepare the team for the outdoor season. We accomplished both of these goals,” Suenram said. Several of the men qualified for and represented PSU at the 1981 National Indoor Meet, which took place this year in Kansas City, Mo. Gaynor became a two event All- American with a second-place win in the 1,000 meter run, with a time of 2:15.00, and with a fourth-place victory in the 880 yard run. “I would single out Roddy” as an outstanding performer, Suenram said. Marquart was made All-American when he succeeded as second-place finisher of the mile run at Indoor Nationals. Marquart’s time was 4:15.5. Suenram also credited Holtom as an out- standing teammember for his indoor mark of 547.5” in the shot put, which made him a National contender. Other National qualifiers were Currier, 3-mile run; the mile relay team; Lewis and McAnderson in the 60-yard dash; Jack Brown, Overland Park senior, in the shot put; Van Hoose in the long jump; and Murdock in the high jump. “The highlight of our indoor season was our tenth place team finish in the National Indoor,” Suenram said. Pitt State earned its tenth place by competing against the 71 other schools represented at the National Indoor Track Meet. Perhaps the other highlight of the Indoor season, Suenram said, was the result of the District 10 Indoor Track Meet, which took place at Pittsburg State University. “We had so many good performances at this meet,” he added. No team points were kept in the meet, but if they were, PSU would have outscored their opponents by at least 100 points, according to Suenram. The men took first place titles in 12 of the 17 events. “GOING MY WAY?” Gayla Rothers finds a lot of runners going her way in the 1500 meter run at the Conference. —photo by Bill Holtom AW vAV . ■ • ■♦, A v- v : ; $ i 4LMv ■' Vv y $K .

We had some ex- cellent times. Overall, I think we looked really well,” Suenram said. “I was pleased with both the Indoor and the Outdoor seasons, but I believe we always have room for improvement. When we recruit, we do look at some individuals wih specific abilities, but we are always trying to improve the overall team, so we will take a guy even if we already have several on the team who do the same event as he does,” Suenram said. The coach will hopefully recruit a number of valuable members for next year’s team, although he is only losing three seniors this year. “We’re losing a good sprinter, Galen Lewis, and we are looking for a good replacement for him. We also need help in our high hurdles. We now have some good men for the hurdles, but their strength is in the intermediate hurdles. We need to recruit a pole- vaulter for next year, too,” Suenram said. Gaynor and Clayton will be leaving the team after this year, but Suenram commented that even though the three were quite important to the 1981 team, “Any time you only lose three off of a championship team, you’re in prettv good shape.” The 1982 team is expected to continue to be strong and well-balanced, according to its coach. “We wilt always have our conference goal, and beyond that we will try to improve our program at the National level. Maybe we will establish a goal of being in the Top Five at next year’s National meet. I’d also like to have a legitimate shot at the Drake Relays next year,” Suenram said. In any event, if next year’s team is at least as good as the 1981 men’s track team, Suenram’s worries will be minor, for as Assistant Track Coach Donald Sampson said, “Our per- formance did our talking, and their performance said “outstanding! Women's track A future for the Pittsburg State University Women’s Track Team looked impossible, but the eight women who made up the 1981 team fought to make this season the best yet. Wild rumors circulated that the team would be done away with the next year. A news story appeared in the March 4 Collegio, stating that a recommendation to de-emphasize women’s track and cross country programs at PSU was passed by a vote of 4-3 at an Athletic Policy Committee meeting on March 2. The story went on to say that the recommendation had been made by Dr. Bill Dickey, PSU athletic director. The de-emphasis recommendation called for the reduction of the two women’s athletic programs. The reduction was only to affect cross country and the long distance track, both of which were strong areas of the women’s events. The de- emphasis was reportedly needed because proper funding for the programs was not available, Dickey was quoted in the Collegio story to have said, “We simply can not hold onto a program that is inadequately funded and lacks full time coaching.” The 1981 women’s track team operated under a temporary and part- time coach, Bob McLeod. The news of this decision to cut back the team’s financially alotted $2,000 ($1,300 of which had already been spent by the women’s cross country team for travel) put a lot of pressure on the women who represented Pitt State at as many of the 1981 track meets that they could afford to attend, according to McLeod. Even after a later issue of the Collegio reported that the vote to de-emphasis the program had been temporarily re-called, concern remained. The girls, according to McLeod, could only wonder how much longer they could exist as a team before they were finally cut. “They continued to represent the school, though, and they have im- proved tremendously over past years’ performances,” McLeod said.

Edgar McAnderson and Clay Van Hoose use their experience and practice to get yet another hand off perfect.—photo by Bill Holtom The women tracksters broke a number of school records in 1981. In fact, “They broke just about every school record,” according to McLeod. The team also performed at the NAIA National Indoor meet in Kansas City, Mo., where teammembers were named All-Americans, and at the District 10 Indoor Meet at Pittsburg State. The PSU women clinched the district meet and would have received first place, but no team points were kept. Gay la Rothers, Gardner freshman, was named All-American at Nationals with a third place in the mile run. Her unofficial time for the event was 5:14,4. Pitt Track was also represented at the National meet by Rosemary Hessman, Pittsburg fresh- man, in the 2-mile run. The women were competing with participants from 75 schools in the nation. Pitt State looked even better at the District 10 Indoors. Had team points been kept, PSU would have beaten their nearest competitor by at least 30 points. Only two first places were added to the women’s score, but PSU placed in every event. Hessman won the 2-mile with a time of 11:16.34, which set a new Weede Gymnasium record. Susan Southwell, Shawnee freshman, won first place in the 400- yard dash with a time of 1:05.78. Rothers brought a second place continued on page 204 Track and field—203 Everyone finish to the team with her per- formance in the mile with a time of 5:16.37. This was a personal record for Rothers. Southwell and Barb Speise, Louisburg sophomore, set personal records for themselves at the district meet in the low and in- termediate hurdles, McLeod said. Success for the Gussies came at several dual meets. At a dual meet with Southwestern Missouri State University, Rothers finished first in the 1,500 meter run with a time of 5:01.4, and Hessman finished first in the 5,000 meter run with a time of 19:29.8. Southwell added another first place in the 100 meter hurdles with a time of 16.45. Taking second place wins for Pitt State were Lonna Reeves, Pittsburg freshman, 100 meter dash; Janet Wilson, Leoti junior, 800 meter run; Speise, 100 meter hurdles and long jump. Third place finishers were Southwell, 100 meter dash and long jump; Rothers, PITT TRACKSTERS APPEARED to dominate high hurdle competition at the Conference Meet.

Speise strained a hamstring while running the 100 meter hurdles against SWMS, but her competition was not affected by the injury. Wilson also suffered an injury to the hamstring muscle, but fortunately it was not serious, either. The Emporia Relays provided more competition for the women’s team. At Emporia, the 880-yard relay took first place, and the distance medley relay took second, while the medley relay came in fourth. The 880 consisted of Rothers, Southwell, Melinda Ed- mondson, Adrian, Mo., freshman, and Reeves. Their winning time was 1:52.3. The distance medley was made up of Rothers, Southwell, Wilson and Hessman. Their winning time was 13:09.3. The medley relay team of Reeves, Edmondson, South- well and Rothers, won fourth place with a time of 2:03. After Emporia, the ladies prepared for their next confrontation with Tulsa University. Preparation paid. Pitt State’s women defeated Tulsa by a score of 41-33. PSU picked up six firsts at the dual meet. First place winners were: McColm, javelin, with a throw of 110’3” and discus, with a toss of lOO’ll”; Hessman, 1500 meter run, time of 5:08.3 and 800 meter race with a time of 21:05.3. Six second places were also accumulated. Second place finishers were Reeves in the long jump, 100 meter dash, and the 200 meter dash; Southwell in the 100 meter hurdles and the high jump; and Rothers in the 1500 meter run.

The big event for the Pitt State women came with the CSIC track meet May 2, at Joplin, Mo. “Con- sidering the amount of people that we had to work with, I thought the girls gave one hell of an effort,” McLeod said. He was referring to the fact that the PSU women’s team consisted of only eight members, and they therefore, had to “stack” the meet. That is, “We had to run each of our girls in a lot of events, or we would not have been participating in enough events to gain enough team points to get anywhere in the conference,” McLeod said. But if the girls had tired bodies, they didn’t let it affect their conference performances. Rothers finished second in the 1,500 meter run with a time of 4:50, a new school and personal record. Hessman finished the race right behind Rothers with a third place finish of 4:51.1, also a personal record. The women ap- peared to reverse their performance when Hessman claimed second in the 3,000 meter run with a time of 10:37, and Rothers dashed in right behind her with a time of 10:42.4. McColm qualified for the Outdoor National meet while at conference, with a throw of 115’6” in the javelin. Her throw also broke the school javelin record. Southwell broke a school record, too, when she high jumped 5 feet, and the 440-yard relay team set a personal record with a time of 53.6. Despite the high number of awards won throughout the two seasons— indoor and outdoor—McLeod said “Everything needs improvement, even our distance events.” But McLeod also acknowledged that he has the makings of an excellent team. “Most of our women are freshmen who are only going to get better and better. Women’s track is a fine addition to PSU, and I would like to see the university support it. Right now the biggest thing the program needs from the university, though, is a com- mitment. We need money. Most of the girls bought all or at least half of their own shoes, and they paid for most of the trips to their meets. Right now the budget just isn’t enough,” McLeod said.—by Phyllis Webster Track and field—205 TRACK COACH Dave Suenram exultantly displays a plaque won by the men’s team at the conference meet in Joplin, Mo.—photo by Bill Holtom Changing faces of coaches FIRST YEAR women’s track Coach Bob McLeod yells instructions to a women’s cross country runner at a home meet.—photo by Penny Banks ALTHOUGH IT WAS a rebuilding year for men's basketball, new Head Coach Hickman found much to be pleased with in the per- formance of his players.—photo by Kyle Cleveland 206—Coaches faces 1 season fought with courage The Pitt State women’s softball team experienced some bad luck throughout the year, but on the other hand, they also had some ex- periences that will be long remem- bered. The Pitt State Gussies ended the season with a winning record of 25- 16, which is a .640 winning per- centage. “It took us a long time to really get things going at the beginning of the season, but before the Wichita Tournament we had a team meeting to get some things straightened out, and after that is when we started our 16-game winning streak,” said Mary Nutter, head softball coach. The Gussies won six straight games in the WSU tourney to become the champions of the tournament. The next weekend the team traveled to St. Joesph, Mo., to compete in the 15-team Missouri Western In- vitational. For the second week in a row the Gussies came out and played excellent softball. When the tournament was over on Saturday night, the Gussies were champions once again. The next weekend the Gussies played host for the District 10 tournament. In the finals Pitt State was matched up against Emporia State University. “We fought with lots of courage, but we just can’t beat Emporia,” said Nutter. The Central States Intercollegiate Confernce tournament was held the next weekend in Kearney, Neb. The Gussies were seeded in the number three position behind the Antelopes of Kearney and the Hornets of Em- poria. The ladies won their first game against Missouri Southern, but ended up losing their next two games to drop them out of the tourney, Pitt State ended up taking sixth place in the Conference. To open the season the team traveled to Norman, Okla., to par- ticpate in the 32-team Sooner In- vitational Tournament. The Gussies played four games in the tourney, winning two and losing two. The first win was against the host team Oklahoma, 3-2. 208—Softball TAKING A HEALTHY CUT at the ball is Anne Scalet, center fielder for the Gussies. —photo by Bill Holtom Illinois State was the Gussies next foe in the tournament. ISU blew away the ladies by a score of 10-0. The next win for Pitt State in the tourney was Wyoming, 7-1. In the last game, Rutgers University shut the Gussies out by a score of 10-0. The next outing for the Pitt Stater’s was a double header with Michigan State University. The Spartans swept the Gussies in both games, 4-2 and 5- 4. Next, the team traveled to Stillwater, Okla., for a triangular with Oklahoma State University and the University of Iowa. In the first game the Gussies went up against OSU. The Cowgirls won the contest 8-3, while in the second contest Iowa barely got by the Gussies with a score of 2-0. Pitt State opened up their con- ference play at home against the Missouri Southern State College Lions and the Emporia State University Hornets. The Gussies beat the Lions, 3-0, but fell to the Hornets by a score of 6-1. The team’s next two foes were non- conference games. Benedictine College and Central Missouri came to play on the Gussies’ own turf and Pitt State showed that they were a better team by winning both games, 10-0 and 8-4. I was really proud of my team's performance, they have really started to perform like a team.'' The second tournament that the team participated in was the South- west Missouri State Invitational. The Gussies only won one out of the four games that they played, that win coming against Southeast Missouri State, 9-3. The three losses were against Iowa State, 4-0, Texas Women’s Team, 10-3, and Southwest Missouri State, 1-0. The next outing for the Gussies was the Wichita Invitational. This is where the team started their 16-game winning streak. The first five wins came against Tabor College, 12-4, Fort Hays State University, 8-3, Wichita State, 4-1, Dodge City Community College, 18-3, and Cloud County Community College, 14-4. In the finals Pitt State was matched up against Wichita State again, and picked up their sixth straight win, 2-1. “This was a crucial turning point in the season. We put our whole season together after this tournament,” said Nutter. The next two wins were against Missouri Southern in a double header, 1-0, and 2-1. The Gussies’ next tournament was the Missouri Western Invitational. Here the Gussies took first again, winning four straight games. The Gussies blanked Longwiew Com- munity College, 17-0 in the first game. In the second game Northwest Iowa was Pitt State’s foe, 4-3. Nor- theast Missouri was the next op- ponent. The Gussies also shut out NEM, 3-0. In the final game the Gussies beat CSIC rivals Wayne State, 1-0. Pitt State had three players make the all tourney team at this tournament: Ann Scalet, Tulsa Okla., junior, outfield; Sheila Miller, Columbus freshman, pitcher; and Beth Jones, McCune sophomore, short stop. Pitt State played Washburn University in a double header for their next two wins. They had a little trouble getting by the Icabods, with scores of 2-1 and 3-1. The last two wins of the winning continued on page 210 SOMETIMES EVERYTHING DOESN’T go smoothly, as Robbi Pazzie fails at an attempt to field a ground ball —photo by Bill Holtom Season streak came in the District 10 tour- nament. First opponent for Pitt State was Kansas Wesleyan. The Gussies scored a shut-out of 3-0. Sterling College was the ladies’ next victim. They recorded a 12-0 win. Then it happened—the Hornets of ESU broke the Gussies winning streak by beating them 6-2. Since this was a double elimination tournament, the Gussies still had a chance to get back into the cham- pionship game. Ail they had to do was beat Marymount College. And that is what they did, besting the Marymount team by a whopping score of 11-0. This set up the championship game against ESU and Pitt State. Pitt State would have to beat the Hornets in two games to become the District 10 champions. Pitt State blanked the Hornets in the first game 2-0, but the Hornets didn’t give up. They came back and squeaked by the Gussies with a score of 2-1 in the second game. Again the Pitt State softball team had three players on the ail tourney team: Miller, pitcher; Jones, short stop; and Kelly Krumsick, Frontenac sophomore, outfield. I was really proud of my team’s performance the last couple of weeks. They have really started to perform and act like a team,” said Nutter. The last two games of the regular season were in a conference triangular played at the Pitt State softball diamond against Missouri Western and Southwest Missouri State. Both opponents shut out the Gussies by scores of 1-0 and 8-0, respectively.

Pitt State beat Missouri Southern by a score of 8-0, but got beat by ESU and Missouri Western by scores of 3-2 and 1-0 respectively. ESU ended up by winning the tournament and was crowned the new CSIC champion. Runner up was Kearney State; third, Missouri Southern; fourth, Missouri Western; fifth, Wayne State; sixth, Pitt State; seventh, Ft. Hays; and eighth, Wash- burn College. Miller, pitcher, was the only member of the Pitt State squad to make the CSIC tournament first team. Jones, short stop, Scalet and Krumsick, outfield, were named to the Honorable Mention team. Most Valuable Player on the Pitt State squad went to Miller, who racked up a pitching record of 21-11 and a 1.08 earned run average. Next year we should have a real good team, i am only losing two seniors this year, and next year I will have eight seniors on the team. Also Sheila Miller’s younger sister, who is also a pitcher, will be on the mound for us. i am really looking forward for next year to come around,” said Nutter. The Gussies received an At-Large berth in the NA!A National Tour- nament held in Huntsville, Texas, May 20-24. At press time the results of the competition were not available. Sixteen teams were participating in the national event. Other team members are: Nancy Biancarelli, Cherokee junior, outfield; Shelly Gerber, Kansas City, Ks., junior, outfield; Lea Kennedy, St. Paul senior, catcher; Janet Kramer, Parsons junior, third base; Sharon Maloney, Prairie Village freshman, catcher; Robbi Pazzie, Girard senior, second base; Anne Sharpe, Joplin, Mo., junior, outfield; Laurie Wade, Douglass junior, first base; Linda Wade, Douglass junior, catcher; and Ann Woloszyk, Detroit, Ml., sophomore, pitcher.

But walk up to the average person in the United States and ask who is now the top motocross rider in America. Most answers will be “I don’t know;” some may even be “What’s motocross”. To take this a step further, an American is likely to reply that it is not really a sport at ail, that all motocross riders do is hop on a loud motorcycle and take a few laps around a dirt track, wait an hour or so and do it again. There are at least two people at- tending Pittsburg State University that can name the nation’s top rider. They can tell anyone anything they want to know about the sport, vouch for its “sportworthiness”, and when asked, are very proud to demonstrate how it’s done. These people are Daryl Davis, Topeka sophomore, and Carl Simpson, Nevada, Mo., senior, who raced on the professional circuit last year. According to Davis and Simpson, the aspect of the sport that is most overlooked is the athletic ability needed to perform it. “When I was competitive I did a lot of running, both long distance and sprints, and then light weight training,” Simpson said. “A rider has got to be strong but also very flexible. You are not going to keep the bike from going where it wants to go. You must relax, if your body pumps up (tightens) then you’re gone. These guys that are running pro are some of the best athletes in the world,” Simpson said. To Davis and Simpson, motocross is just a bit more than a sport. It’s in their blood; it’s a love. Both riders fell in with their chosen sport in virtually the same way. “I knew I wanted to race before I ever rode a motorcycle,” said Davis. He also said that he and his parents had different ideas concerning motocross riding. “After I got my first bike my parents caught me doing a wheelie. I don’t think they thought too much of it. Convincing my parents was the first thing I had to do,” said Davis. Simpson’s introduction was much the same. He said that after his first bike he “had to get the parents’ O.K.” Of the two it was Simpson that first tasted the sometimes bitter fruits of professional motocross racing. After traveling with a local professional as a mechanic on the Florida race cir- cuit, Simpson left the classrooms of Pittsburg State during the 79-80 school year to race on the pro circuit. Simpson opened his professional racing at Houston in the Astrodome. Just after the race had started he was involved in a crash resulting in a torn cartilage and later knee surgery. That type of knee surgery today is more or less routine and did not keep Simp- son out of racing for very long. After returning to the pro circuit he found just how competititve high level racing is. “When I raced the local circuit I made just enough to cover the ex- penses,” Simpson said. “But it was tough to race with the people who have been around. It’s hard for a privateer to compete with riders who are factory sponsored. These guys have anything they need.” Simpson left the pro ranks after receiving a back injury while racing in Michigan. Davis has been racing the local circuit for over three years. He said that while going to college, the time found for riding is small. “The way it is now I ride only once a week,” Davis said. “I then just mainly use the other time for training.” Davis and Simpson have much in common. Of course, both ride motocross, both love and respect the sport and both have had to overcome the same obstacle: injury. Injury is present in every sport and must be dealt with. Motocross is no different. But the way these two athletes handled injury shows their deep love for the sport, “I spent three days in intensive care after a crash last year,” said Davis. “After the crash I told my self ‘that’s it’ and then sold my bike. But it's not that easy. It’s just that once you do it, it’s very hard to leave it. I’ve tried other sports and I have not found one to compare with it.” After the race in Michigan, Simpson slowed in his riding but did not leave his sport. He is now teaching his talent to two young people in his home town of Nevada, Mo. Til never quit riding as far as I’m concerned, said Simpson, “but it may be a while before I’m competitive again. I really enjoy teaching those kids. And now when I ride it’s for fun. I’m having more fun.”—by Burl Powell FLYING THROUGH THE AIR is Carl Simpson, who just recently left the pro ranks of motocross.—photo by Dot Koehler PARTidpATioN ilNCREASES WITh VARiETy The Pittsburg State University Intramural Athletics program receives far greater participation than any organization on campus, according to Tom Hughes, intramural graduate assistant. “We had more student participation this year in the majority of our events than we had in past years,” Hughes added. PSU in- tramurals are definitely growing sports. Perhaps the increase in in- tramural popularity is due to the large selection of sports available. The men are offered 17 events in the forms of individual and group competition, and the women have a variety of 13 INTRAMURAL FOOTBALL competition finds Vince Vogler going for the kill as he pushes for an extra yard —photo by Bill Holtom ifiTfTrli YOU CAN SEE WHY FLAG FOOTBALL was one of the most popular sports this fall.

All of the four sports were co-ed; however, each also had a men’s division and a women’s division. The only team sport that is not offered in three divisions (men’s, women’s, and co-ed) is football, which does not have a women’s division. “We probably had on our team sports about 3,500 people participating,” Hughes said. The quickest growing sport for intramurals is probably racquetball, Hughes said. This year racquetball was offered as men’s and women’s singles and men’s and women’s doubles, “ft’s possible that we’ll offer a co-ed doubles in racquetball next year,” Hughes said. Other changes in the intramural program are also possible for next year. “A motion was continued on page 216 USING A VARIETY OF ARM AND LEG maneuvers, Dot Stanholtz increases her distance in the long jump intramural com- petition.—photo by Phyllis Webster Intramurals—215 ONE OF THE FEW who were unafraid to take on the event of archery, a sport requiring great skill, is Susan Clouse.—photo by Bill Holtom 216—Intramurals COUHT Participation All-University Trophy 1st FCA 893.5 2nd SigmaSigma Sigma 716.5 3rd Jock's Nitch 418 4th Alpha Gamma Delta 359 Alpha Sigma Alpha 148 made to remove soccer and replace it with fall softball,” Hughes said. Soccer was the weakest team event in gaining participants. Hughes at- tributed its unpopularity to the fact that “soccer is not that big in this part of the country. Some of the foreign students are interested in it, but we just don’t draw that many in.” Among the individual sports that do draw participants is again racquet- ball, but on the other side of the coin is archery. Archery drew fewer participants than any of the individual sports offered. “Archery requires a higher skill level than the other sports. Plus, it has an outdoor emphasis. This turns some students away from it,” Hughes explained. Horseshoes was described as being the second weakest participation grabber. A total of 101 students participated in the 1980-81 hor- seshoes competition. continued on page 218 JUMPING TO THE START as the gun sounds are Marlon Weston and Mark Weatherby.

For the student who is interested, an organization provides the chance to participate in outside activities which can be both academically and recreationally oriented. Also, the student can become more involved in activities which may help to prepare the student for an eventual career in an area, yet without the pressure of classrooms. An organization, too, provides for more student-faculty cooperation in a mutually enjoyable project which can help the sponsoring department and the students involved with the project. An organization may also be centered only around bringing together students and faculty who have common interests in an activity or belief. These organizations allow students to meet and become better acquainted with others on campus who are interested in the same type of things. continued on page 226 Organizations—225 Newman Club THE NEWMAN CENTER GAME ROOM provides a number of activities.

Activities include Bible studies, special ministries, and meetings. Special events are also an important part of the organizations activities. Along with their annual retreat, an annual Sonrise Week is held to present the message and fellowship of the group to the rest of the campus. Banquets and informal dinners help to complete the Campus Christian schedule. Galen Atkinson, president of the organization, expressed the group’s goal as “reaching out to the many souls that are searching for a way of life which leads to success through the study of Jesus Christ and his teachings.” Another group that works to provide activities for all students is SUB.

The Student Union Board is made up entirely of volunteers and anyone on campus is welcome to join by simply attending the meetings. Student Senate, the student voice in campus government, was active throughout the year to accomplish many of the goals that they established at the beginning of their sessions. Their first goal was to increase publicity and communication with the PSU student body. To accomplish this, the senate began a bi-monthly newsletter and distributed a brochure on the Legal Aid Service at PSU. continued on page 236 Organ izat ions—235 Kansas Association of Nursing Students DURING HER HOSPTIAL CLINICAL, Diane Wheeler takes blood from a patient’s arm as well as performing other duties that are part of her nursing training. —photo by Kyle Cleveland 236—Organizations LuJiVlilililil NURSING STUDENTS Ramona Paarmann and Heidi Hartford participate in a skit on the proper way to treat a patient.

Another big contributor to the variety of organizations available are sports clubs. The Pittsburg State University Rugby Team has only recently been formed and is quickly growing in interest all around campus. Tim Clark, team president, explained the game. “Rugby is a fast, rough game played by two teams which features almost continuous play. The game is closely related to football except for some of the rules and the equipment used. “In rugby, each team fields fifteen players, though league rugby allows only thirteen players on the field. Each team then tries to score by kicking, passing, or carrying the ball across the opponents’ goal line,” Clark said. continued on page 240 Org an izat ion s—239 Golden Crest FRONT ROW: Brenda Banks, Cathy Duff in.

The practice sessions for the two seasons of play beginning in September and February start three to four weeks before the first game. “This practice consists of a lot of running and calisthenics, and then working up to several practice scrimmages before going into the actual games themselves,” Clark said. Clark said, “Although last year’s squad boasted a six win-four loss season, this year’s team got off to a slow start. Experience is a team's greatest asset, but one of a team’s biggest problems is a constant change of personnel at semester breaks. This was our main problem, too,” Clark commented.

The dorms are livable, lived-in and lively. There are six residence halls on campus: Nation, Mitchell, Dellinger, Trout, Tanner, and Shirk. Trout and Shirk both have annexes in addition to the original building. Bowen Hall, though it sits alongside Trout and Shirk, is temporarily housing several offices for the science departments. Some of the dorms, such as Dellinger and Trout, are co-ed, but others, like Shirk and Nation, house only one sex. The co-education status is achieved by separation of men and women by floors, and dorm residents say it is handled with very few problems. According to past yearbooks, co-ed housing has been a part of the campus for many years. Dormitory life is one of friendship and study, but the atmosphere is also one of competition and relaxation. It 256—Dorms doesn’t limit the student to eating, reading and sleeping. Mark Bozarth, vice-president of Shirk Hall, commented on his hall’s competitive spirit. He said, “Shirk won the intramural soccer contest, and Tony Ridder took the horseshoe competition. I don’t know how many years this makes.” Ridder added that the dorm held a party at the Tower in September. “Dellinger Hall shows one of the most competitive and friendly at- mospheres of the dorms,” said Linda Voiding, secretary-treasurer of the hall. “We took fourth place in the Homecoming Float Contest, first place for the highest percentage attendance of dorms at the Homecoming Dance, and first place in the dormitory swimming in- tramurals.” But competition isn’t the only activity at Dellinger. “We also have a great party spirit,” Voiding said. “We held a ‘Back to School’ party, a Halloween costume party (first place went to a male cheerleader), and skating parties FRONT ROW: Cindy Langstraadt, Gena Gauert, Michelle Madden, Tammy George, Arlene Thomas, Tina George, Lisa Tinch, Farimah Nazeri, Brenda Janeway.

Raaji Kanan, president of Trout Hall, told of the same spirit being seen within the campus senior-graduate hall. “We have had teams in both football and basketball, and we've had fun even when we haven’t won. We also have two senators living in our hall,” Kanan said. “But we love our dorm because when it’s timeto study, it’s quiet and when it’s time to party we blow the windows out,” he added. According to him, the hall has had four keg parties, a Christmas party, and made plans for a summer bash. The dormitories house not only students, but also staff assistants and dorm directors as administrative personnel. The staff assistants are students who help to keep order and 258—Dorms Trout Hall FRONT ROW: R. Kanan, president; Rhonda Gist, Caroline Chang, Kim Morgan, Wade Thompson, COHO.

The dorm director is an adult, sometimes a PSU graduate student, whose main duty is to make sure that the dorm is a proper environment for the students to live and work in. The staff assistant is the dorm director’s aid in maintaining the environment. Bob Sawyer, South Haven senior, is an assistant in Trout Hall, and says that he is mainly there to counsel students when they have problems with school, other students, or life in general, and to enforce the dormitory’s rules and regulations. Because he is involved with both students and the administration, Sawyer can see the good and bad aspects of each point of view. Sawyer said, “Most students are really cooperative and obey the rules, but if a student becomes a problem, we turn the matter over to Student Af- fairs.” He added, “Working with the ad- ministration is pretty good, but sometimes we disagree. For example, if we do have problems with a student, sometimes the action that the officials take doesn’t agree with what we have suggested.” Sawyer added, “The new Student Board has really helped out.” The Student Board is a committee of dorm residents who hear complaints of a student nature and rule on the hearings. Any minor complaint may come under their jurisdiction. The complaints are usually of a student vs. student or administration vs. continued on page 260 Dorms—259 Shirk Hall FRONT ROW: Pat Gill, Rusty Reynolds, Dave McCaughey, Bob Selby, Lance Carbonell, Bryan Neal, Kim Ruhl.

As for his work with the hall director Tim Sullivan, Sawyer commented, “Tim goes with the rules and enforces them, but he’s a really nice guy. I think all the directors are good to work with.” The job of being a hall director is one of responsibility and hard work, too, but Nancy Meads, graduate student and director of Trout Hall, enjoys her work. “I love meeting people from many fields and helping them however I can,” she said. “I also enjoy being looked up to as a leader.” But there are a few difficulties in- volved with the job. Meads admitted, “Your time is never your own. Whenever I walk into this dorm, I’m open game for anyone’s time. Whether it’s in the middle of the day or night, any student that wants to 260—Dorms Tanner Hall FRONT ROW: Jim Henning, Garden Majama, Scott Crisp, Bart ' Carnali, Pat Rich, Bill Hacker, Tom Carter, Mike Graves, Gary Hissel, Steve Doolittle, secretary-treasurer; Frank Vogel, Steve Caulfield, Robert McGeary, Dog.

It’s not all that bad, but there is no real privacy when I’m in my room.” Meads sees her basic job as making sure that a learning environment is maintained and that each student has what he needs or knows where to go to find it. “Since Trout houses mainly senior and graduate students, I don’t have to explain as much about campus services as I did when I was assistant director at Nation- Mitchell,” she said. Meads commented on a few dif- ferences between the students of the two dorms. She said that the residents of Trout are more cooperative and know more about the rules and services of the university. “The girls of Nation-Mitchell were younger and generally needed more attention, but they were a great group of people. Also, my job as the assistant director was mostly paperwork,” she said. “I still have a lot of it here, but I also get more of the people work to go with it.” Whether for financial or personal reasons, the dorm resident gives up some privacy for being close to the campus, but they usually enjoy the experience. Most students see the great difference between on and off campus living and agree with Meads’s conclusion. “Everyone should spend at least a year in the dorms because it is a chance to get to know a lot of people from different backgrounds and to become more involved with campus activities.

The PSU sororities are Alpha Gamma Delta, Alpha Sigma Alpha, Sigma Sigma Sigma, ASpha Kappa Alpha, reorganized at Pitt State for the first time in several years, and Zeta Phi Beta, an organization that just completed its first year on the PSU campus. As the election year proved to be one of change for the major political candidates, it also proved to be one of residence change for three of the fraternities. The men of Pi Kappa Alpha, the Pikes, moved into a new house during the fall semester, while the Sigma Chi brothers began construction of their new house during March. The Sigma Tau Gamma house went under major constuction during the spring to repair the house which once was used by former president W. A. Bran- denburg. The year of change did not affect the charitable spirits of these organizations, though.

Also to cheer the patients’ spirits, the Alpha Gams held Bingo nights at various times throughout the year. The Lambda Chi Alpha men also spent much of their time in community service work. They held a hayrack ride for a local day care center, made their annual trip to the Parsons State Hospital, and collected supplies for the Inter- Fraternity Council’s canned food drive. The Lambda Chis also spent a good deal of their time on the phone as they participated in both the Annual Alumni Phonothon for scholarship donations and in the phone-contacting of prospective PSU students. 264—Alpha Sigma Alpha Robyn Lawrence Carol Lichtenstein Terri Liebert Patty Lynch Nanette Lyons Kim McCormick Teresa Miller Maresa Monsour Paula Monsour Donna Pintar Darlene Siegel Lora Snyder Charise VanWinkle Sherry Wills Kathy Worl COMPETING IN THE NOVELTY division of the Homecoming parade.

The Alpha Sigma Alpha women, true to their dedication to the mentally retarded, held two parties during the year for the residents of New Horizons. The Alpha Sigs chose Thanksgiving and Easter as the dates for their parties. The Sig Tau men, along with performing other projects, spent a day washing windows at a local nursing home. The Pikes, too, were active in community service. Besides helping with the fall and spring Red Cross Blood Drives, they also sponsored a child for the YMCA membership drive and painted a locomotive for the Pittsburg Recreation Department.

And, the Alpha Gams kept themselves busy with three fund raising activities. Early in the year, they helped to raise funds for the United Way. In the spring they held a chiii feed to help increase the Founders Memorial which provides funds to various charities. Then in April, instead of their annual Superdance, the Alpha Gams held a Spring Blossom Fesitival which raised funds to help the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation.

A myriad of events and activities occured during this week, and the fraternities and sororities were involved with all of them. One area of competition was the novelty contest. In this contest the Tri Sigs took first place and the Sigma Chis and Alpha Gams tied for third. The “Yell Like Hell” competition was swept by the greeks as the Lambda Chis took first, the Sig Eps took second, and the Tri Sigs took third.

Post-Homecoming activities were celebrated with many social dances and special recognitions of alumni. The Sig Eps sponsored their Founders Day Homecoming Formal, and the Sig Taus welcomed 150 visting Sig Tau alumni to their activities. Special recognition was an important part of the Sigma Chi Homecoming activities. Recognized were six members of Xi Omega, the forerunner of the Sigma Chi fraternity at PSU. They were initiated as brothers as 250 Sigma Chi members and their dates attended the Homecoming Dance at the American Legion. One month later, however, the Sigma Chis mourned the summer death of Jack O’Rourke, the first of their brothers to die. The November services brought back many Sigma Chi brothers as they remembered O'Rourke and his life. Mrs. O’Rourke is now patroness to the PSU chapter.

And, the Alpha Sigs noted two national awards presented to their members. Lisa Shelton received the Elizabeth Bird Small award, the highest given to an active Alpha Sig. Marjorie Sharp was the recipient of the Wilma Wilson Sharp award, the highest given to an Alpha Sig alumnus. With ail of the competitive and service activities which spanned the 1980-81 year, the Pittsburg State greek organizations kept themselves very busy. The fraternities and sororities were never too busy, though, to attend the many social events which occured. Attendance at each organization’s activities heightened the spirit of cooperation. An otherwise dreary fall semester was well stocked with activities. TheTKE Fall Bash helped start off the year in September, and the Sig Eps’ Celebrity Auction soon followed. In the auction, several items associated with well known celebrities were sold to raise funds to sponsor future Sig Ep functions. The Sigma Tau Freedom Festival continued on page 274 Pi Kappa Alpha—273 Phi Sigma Epsilon Kent Cherry, president Gregory Mauer, vice-president John Huffman, treasurer Joseph Alley, secretary Douglas Barto Kurt Bever RUNNING A FOOTBALL TO JOPLIN before the Pittsburg vs. Missouri Southern football game, Greg Wintle adds five as the football stretched a few more miles. —photo by Kyle Cleveland was successful in commanding a large attendance and served to continue the ceiebrative spirit. As the Halloween holiday ap- proached, many campus and local organizations planned spook houses. The annual Egor’s Haunted House, sponsored and run by the Sig Ep men, was one of the most successful. The Sigma Chis also hosted their annual Derby Day, and the Tri Sig women produced their Pajama Party in November, to lead into the coming Thanksgiving vacation. Working to live up to their motto of acheivement, the Alpha Psi chapter of the Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity gave a Christmas basket to a needy family in Pittsburg.

Alpha Gams held their Christmas Formal in early December, helping to postpone for the moment the pressures of end-of-semester school work. The fall semester tends to be a very celebrative period because of the number of holidays and social activities during the semester. The spring has very few holidays, but the greek organizations make up for it by scheduling even more activities. These activities, along with spring fever, make the spring semester even more eventful than the fall. February had slightly fewer activities than the other months, but the unseasonably warm weather helped the attendance for each of them. The Alpha Sigs held their Sweetheart Formal on Valentine’s Day, while the Alpha Gams waited until the last day of the month for their Tahiti in the Pitts” celebration. The Tri Sigs’ Polka Party was a successful change from the usual party at- mosphere. March proved to be even more sociable.

The Tri Sigs began a new tradition for their group with the introduction of their Little Sis Weekend and Father’s Weekend. The Alpha Sigs held the second of their informal socials, and the Sigma Chi little sisses, the Little Sigmas, held a Playboy party for their big brothers. The Kappa Alpha fraternity got involved in planning the Fifth Annual Conference in Black Student Government, started five years ago at Kansas University. The all-black group devoted a great deal of time to the con- ference, held on March 6-7 at PSU. In April, the next-to-the-iast month of the semester, and also one of the busiest, the number of activities was at its height.

Spring Formals for the Sig Eps and the Tri Sigs helped span the April-May period, and the Big Sis-Li’l Sis Banquet hosted by the Alpha Sigs brought together the women of the greek organizations. May was a hectic month for school work and activities as the end of the year approached. The hurried tone was reflected in Lambda Chi Alpha’s 7th Annual Kentucky Derby Rat Race on the first of May. The Alpha Gams helped in the festive spirit with their Barn Party, but the Sigma Chis moved the location of their spring formal to the Wichita Holiday Inn “Holidome” to add to the mood of the party. The White Roses, the Sig Taus’ little sis group, sponsored a Little Sis Night to once again bring together all the greek ladies. And finally, the Alpha Sigs hosted a breakfast banquet to honor the graduating seniors.

Some of the greek groups on campus have reorganized in the last two years from chapters that have been on the Pitt State campus and died out. For in- stance, the Beta Nu chapter of the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority, a group of black women, was first chartered at PSU in 1936. It later died out, and was revived for the first time this year. Zeta Phi Beta, another new sorority, and Kappa Alpha Psi, a black fraternity, are other groups that recently reorganized on campus. This is the first time these greek organizations have been recognized with other fraternal 278—Sigma Phi Epsilon James Knowles Thomas Lenahan Paul Marsh Thomas Marsh Dennis Meier Todd Mildfelt Paul Mitchell Al Muglach David Newman Anthony Pike Don Platt Clayton Schul Jeff Stephan Patrick Stevenson Jack Tremain Theodore Voegeli Robert Waddle Kingsley Walker Patrick Wiederholt Robert Williams Steven Yates associations in the yearbook. It is a step forward in unifying the campus groups—not just Lambda Chis, or Sig Eps, or even GDI’s, but Pittsburg State University students! So far, the reorganized groups have held mainly service-oriented activities, since they do not have a long tradition on campus. Annual events that are almost a by-word for other greeks, such as the Tekes’ coast-to-coast keg roll, are not yet associated with these greek names. But, members feel that they are as enthusiastic as anyone else on campus, and as involved as only a greek can be. In time, they are sure their organizations will be as well- known and active as the longest standing group on campus! One such by-word that is now a by-gone is the Alpha Gams’ Annual Dance-a-thon for Muscular Dystrophy. Held every year for the past three, the dance-a-thons were one of the major spring events, and raised over $60,000 from campus and community. This year, the Gams decided that it was time for a change of pace. Not only did they think the continued on page 280 Sigma Phi Epsilon—279 Sigma Tau Gamma Thomas Harris, president Curtis Chapman, vice-president of mem- bership George Thompson, vice-president of education Dave Pierce, vice-president of management DURING THE SPRING, the Sig Tau’s held their annual Freedom Festival.

Looking at it from the community viewpoint, Gams thought that $60,000 was a lot of money to have given to the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign. City merchants were not as willing as they had been to donate food, money, and prizes. Also, the Alpha Gams said that the MD district representative was putting a lot of pressure on other campus groups to get something going. Nothing else in the Missouri-Kansas-Oklahoma area made as much money as the dance-a-thon, they said, so the MD Foundation was anxious for another campus group to get more involved. 280—Sigma Tau Gamma Kurt Schneider, treasurer Jeff Buckman Richard Bustos Scott Colyer Stephen Dilley DeWayne Durham Stacy Ellsworth Richard Hale Ronell Hamilton Brent Hrablk Craig Jack Robert Latas Micheal Minshull Carl Porter John Regan Dennis Richards Robert Turner Frank Whitson Terry Wilson Robert Wohltman Lance Wood FRONT ROW: Diane Roesky, Jolene John- son, Becky Gray, Ellen Zetmeir, Donna Glenn, Cathy Howard.

Gary Har- beston, Lambdi Chi, died of leukemia last summer. The Lambdi Chi Fraternity held a benefit dance this fall in memory of Harbeston in which all proceeds went to the American Cancer Society. Tim Soth, Sig Ep, was killed in a car accident over Christmas break. Soth attended PSU his freshman year then transferred to Oklahoma State University. Robert Wohltman, Sig Tau, was run over by a car in February. Kent Bumgarner, In- terfraternity Council president, expressed his feelings on the incidents. “It’s tragic that anybody has to die at such a young age. The effects are great on everybody.” The 1980-81 year was a very active one for the greek organizations, both academically and socially. The many and varied activities of the fraternities and sororities are proof that these organizations practice the beliefs they expressed. The Alpha Sigs said, “The Eta Eta chapter of Alpha Sigma Alpha has been a part of our campus for continued on page 282 Sigma Tau Gamma—281 Tau Kappa Epsilon Otto Stuber, president Terry Copp, vice-president Mick Bradshaw, treasurer Ken Steiner, chaplan Larry Hauk, historian Cart Wilk, sargeant at arms THE ANNUAL TKE Fall Bash took place on an unusually hot September night.

The Alpha Sigs are an active campus organization, and support the greek system by participating in functions. The Sigma Chis believe that sacrifices must be made for hard work and teamwork, but the aspiration and the success of our brothers are traditional of Sigma Chis everywhere.” The preamble of the Sigma Tau constitution states that Sig Taus believe “that ail men are social creatures and that friendships of college men are lasting, and we do hereby seek to promote these associations through a social fraternity which will uphold the true standards of brotherhood.

The Pikes affirm that the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity believes in the promotion of brotherhood, community service, and academic achievement. The Sig Eps said that their fraternity, although young, is one of the most active and most productive of the greek groups at PSU, adding “The Sigma Phi Epsilon men are truly building a reputation, not resting on one.” And the Alpha Gams express their own beliefs and those of the other greeks when they say, “The women of Alpha Gamma Delta are proud to be a part of greek life here at PSU. They are always eager to support other greeks in their projects and appreciate the support they receive in return. The integrity and hard work of the greeks is a reflection of their strong determination to improve their surroundings and to make this world a little better for all of us to love and grow in.” —by Stephen Jones Tau Kappa Epsilon—283 A change of face Nowhere are the changing faces of PSU more evident than here. These pages provide a glance at the 5,000 students, faculty, administration and staff that make up a campus. There are freshmen, all new faces getting their first taste of college life. There are sophomores and juniors returning for another year, but they can be new jfltfaces too, with a new look or haircut. Inhere are transfer students here, and -of course seniors and graduate students working towards that final degree. And finally, the old familiar faces of professors, staff and the • administration.

All the endless hours of going to class, all---those enrollment hassles, debates .with your advisor and late-night cram sessions in the library. All the parties, the fun and games and the concerts. This is what makes them all happen each year, and what makes them different each time. The part of your college career that you will remember longest may not be a philosophy of economics, although education is what it is all about. But after you -finally walk across that platform, shake hands with the president and receive your degree, what you’ll remember most will be the ever-changing sea of faces that made your PSU different from anyone else’s, yet still the same. These are the faces, changing or staying the same, of Pittsburg State. 284—Panels Panels—285 Kelly Abbot Baxter Springs Robert Adair Girard Daniel Adams, Overland Park Penny Adams, Galena Felicia Akins, Kansas City, MO Toni Ata, LaCygne Jennie Belle Allen, Baxter Springs Jerry Allen, Baxter Springs Carol Anderson, Olathe Aubrey Anglen, Pittsburg Elizabeth Anthon, Neosho, MO Elaine Arellano, Newton Susan Armstrong, Mission Dianna Arnett, Lane Michael Avery, Prescott Emad Awad, Kuwait, Jordan Penny Banks, Kingman Glenda Bartholomew, Erie Melinda Barton, Shawnee Alan Batts, Kansas City Melvin Baum, Frontenac Leigh Ann Beaumont, Overland Park Judith Becker, Broken Arrow, OK Pamela Bennet, Lawrence Lu Ann Bertalotto, Pittsburg Debra Birney, Sublette Pamela Bland, Arkansas City Steve Bolander, Caldwell Mary Booe, Osawatomie Scott Bosworth, Olathe Mark Bozarth, Eldorado Springs, MO Donna Bramlett, Halstead Jo Ellen Branstetter, Ft. Scott Debbie Brewer, Yates Center Julie Brooks, Bonner Springs Update-Sullivan plane Last year the Kanza ran a feature story about Dr. Victor Sullivan, acting dean of the School of Technology and Applied Science, and an experimental aircraft he and his wife Mary-Kate were building in their living room. The article reported that the plane was expected to fly by summer, 1980, and indeed it did. Unfortunately, when Dr. Sullivan lacked only 40 hours of flying time to license the plane, he crashed the plane due to mechanical failure. A nut holding on the elevator linkage somehow came loose as he was flying, causing the linkage to fail. Without elevators, most conventional aircraft can’t fly. Dr. Sullivan reported, “I thought I was dead. He radioed the control tower for an ambulance, then, he said he realized he was still in the air. He managed to gain some control by shifting his body back and forth in the cockpit, and came in for a crash landing just at dusk on Nov. 11. After 11 days in the hospital with two broken vertebrae and a month at home in bed, Dr. Sullivan is back at work. He wore a back brace for about 4 months. The remains of the plane, not too badly damaged, are in the Sullivan’s garage. They haven’t yet decided whether to re-build it or not. The Federal Aviation Ad- ministration’s investigator Glenn Martin told Dr. Sullivan he was surprised to see him alive. “If you’d have been flying a Cessna, you’d be dead,” he said. 286—Freshmen Freshmen Janet Brown, Dodge City Shirley Bullion, Nevada, MO Lisa Burgan, Columbus Robert Burgess, Olathe Gerardo Caicedo, Pittsburg Jacqueline Carbon, Mound City Gina Carl, Joplin, MO Stan Carlat, Pittsburg Melanie Carpenter, Hutchinson Richard Carter, Baxter Springs Thomas Castor, Clearwater George Cates, Ottawa Carrie Catlin, Herington Randy Chapman, Yates Center Vivien Chegwidden, Stillwell Roger Cheney, Cherokee Lori Cherry, Pittsburg Pedro Chirinos, Caracas, Venezi Tanaka Chiori, Pittsburg Jamie Clowers, Manchester, MC Melvin Cobb, Pittsburg Christy Coffey, Wellington Stacy Coffey, Lawrence Carmetta Compton, Milo, MO Deborah Cowan, Wichita Kreg Cox, Kearney, MO Robert Craig, Newport, AR Jackie Crain, Rich Hill, MO Night classes drawday students Refrigeration 021, Drafting 030, and Machine Drafting 032 are all Vocational Technical Institute classes offered for the first time at night the spring semester, 1981.

Dr. Sandness said that the School of Education is implementing a proficiency test, sometimes called competency tests. Students who want to obtain a bachelor of science degree in education must pass the proficiency test before they can receive their degree. The test will usually be taken at the end of a student’s sophomore year, or the beginning of the junior year if the student is a transfer. According to Dr. Sandness, many questions have arisen as to whether today’s teachers are competent. Dr. Sandness feels that since the basic courses required by all students, no matter what their major, are the same, there must be a lack of competency in ail areas. “What we are concerned with is graduating the best, most capable teachers we can,” said Dr. Sandness. “We want to be certain that our students are competent in the basics before we admit them to the education department,” he said. Dr. Sandness said he feels that the students will react positively to the test. “The fact that we are trying to maintain a level of competency should give the students in education a feeling of pride,” he said. He doesn’t expect that many students will fail the test, and if they do, the test may be repeated. According to Dr. Sandness, the Wichita and Emporia school districts are requiring that a proficiency test grade accompany the applications for teaching jobs. “I see a trend of this in the future nation-wide,” said Dr. Sandness. The State Department of Education is now requiring that students have a 2.5 grade point average to enter teacher education and have a 2.75 grade point average prior to student teaching.

Participating in all 13 categories of competition, Humboldt won 20 awards. “They win every year,” said Glenn Robinson, instructor of journalism and one of two contest coordinators. Dr. John Knowles, associate professor of journalism, is the other. According to Robinson, second place usually goes to Pittsburg. This year’s contest was only the third annual, however. “All the state universities run a regional contest. The finals are at the University of Kansas in March. “This contest gives high school journalists a chance to see how they do against other high school jour- nalists. It also gives them the op- portunity to look over the university. We attracted close to 200 students this year,” said Robinson. The schools competing in this year’s competition were Labette County, Altamont; Pittsburg; Field McKinley, Coffeyville; Fort Scott; Galena; Fredonia; Neodesha; Northeast, Arma; Jayhawk-Linn, Mound City; Burlington; Humboldt; and Marmaton Valley. “Since we draw from high schools, we’ve expanded in the last three years what we are doing at area high schools,” said Robinson. He said he and Dr. Knowles were attending in-service days, and having activities on campus such as Year- book Day, a two week journalism workshop each summer, and con- tests. Students compete in newswriting, sports feature writing, newspaper headline writing, advertising, cutline writing, layout-graphics and special effects, yearbook headline writing, feature writing, layout-double page spread, copy writing, editorial writing, make-up, and theme development. The contest is judged by members of the Morning Sun staff and PSU faculty. Freshmen—293 A trip into another culture For the past 11 years, PSU has offered a summer study trip to Paris. There are three different sessions one can appfy for, doing different things according to your time schedule. One session is from June 10-July 31, one from June 10-July 7, both for $1,795, and a third from July 1-21 for $1,295, Dr. Henri Freyburger, chairman of the foreign language department and director of the Paris trip, said one unique feature of the Pittsburg program is that loans are available from Financial Aids for the full cost of the program. This includes even personal expenses. “That is a pretty good feature ’ Dr. Freyburger said, “Considering how everybody is talking about money being tight. There is really no reason not to go if you really feel like going.11 The cost of the trip has doubled, however, during the 11 years the program has been offered. “I think that everything else has more than doubled in the last 10 years,” he said. He added that there is a minimum requirement of 10 students, and a maximum quota of 25. “We met the quota every year for the past four years,” Dr. Freyburger said, adding that the program has never been cancelled due to not enough students applying. “It has been a popular program,” he said. “If we would not have a demand we would have to cancel it.” One advantage of the sessions are that you can earn college credit in several areas, not just French. Courses in art, history, socia! science, music, and French civilization are offered, and a speaking knowledge of French is preferred but not required. “We even have one student enrolled who is an automotive major. He will compare the kind of French car designs with American automobiles,” Dr. Freyburger said. In addition to living in Paris, students participate in optional side trips to London, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, and Italy. They can visit the cities of Florence, Rome, Venice, Munich, and Innsbruck. In addition to trips to Paris, the foreign language department has offered summer trips to Mexico for the past three years. The program is similar, except that subjects are limited to art and Spanish. There is only one session, running from July 27-August 17, at a cost of $595. Dr, Freyburger said he feels that a trip of this nature is a unique ex- perience for a young person. “A trip like this is like crossing a bridge into another culture,” he said. 294—Freshmen Mark Story, Midwest City, OK Samra Strawn, Cimarron K.

One part of his act was involving audience members. During the af- ternoon of Convocation ceremonies, he invited university President James Appleberry to help him with a few stunts. He offered Dr. Appleberry a swig of his lighter fluid. When the president refused, he proceeded to swallow it himself, then blow huge clouds of flames from his mouth. His act in the evening was much the same. The first part of the show consisted of magic tricks performed with audience participation. Every trick involved a spectator in some way or another, whether they volunteered or not. For the second act, he ran on stage wearing only a loincloth and scanty G-string. He started off with a balancing routine, which included supporting a chair on his mouth— with a small boy seated in the chair! At last he dazzled his audience with his fire routines. He whirled around stage clad only in his scanty G-string, throwing lighted torches into the air and catching them flame-end first. He drank more lighter fluid and blew great flaming clouds out. He set the stage on fire, then put out the flames with his body. He seemed to be almost hypnotized by the flames, and appeared to feel no pain, but in a question-and-answer session after the show, he admitted that at times, he had been burned. He said he doesn’t burn much because the sweat shields his body from the flames. As for swallowing the poisonous lighter fluid, he said, “My body is immune to the lighter fluid because I’ve done it so much now. But doctors tell me I have less than 10 years to live. I feel good now, and that’s all that matters.” He concluded, “Getting burned is part of the show. I can’t show pain to the audience, but it’s there. I love pain. I love to perform. If the crowd’s happy, I’m happy. It’s my whole life.” Sophomores Greg Adams.

To a student living away from home for the first time, getting mail becomes almost an obsession. As one becomes hardened to college life, however, the mail craze abates somewhat. In all fairness, students realize that when they haven’t touched their stationery since day one, they can’t really expect to get much in return. But there are items that every student can expect to find in his or her mailbox. First, notices from the university. These range from copies of class schedules, to hold notices. Oops, forgot to pay that fine againl If a student requests transcript copies, applies for a loan, grant, or scholarship, or participates in one of several organizations, they are assured of receiving something, at least. And then again, there are promotional ads, or junk mail. Sales circulars from Wal-Mart, J.C. Pen- ney’s, and many other places cram student mailboxes, addressed to Occupant.” Have you ever been tempted to return those, saying, ‘Tm sorry. Occupant moved out a month ago. Pm the only one living here now.” Recently, Ken’s Pizza Parlor has been doing a landmark business in coupons. Partly due to Pizza Hut, their main competitor, offering to cash any pizza coupon, Ken's practically inundated apartments and dorms with free coupons. Un- fortunately, in January and February, at least, most students couldn’t afford to eat out even with coupons! And last but not least, there's mail from dear old mom and dad. It's always reassuring to know that even if your side of the correspondence has consisted of, Be home Friday. What’s for supper?” or “Send money,” your parents will faithfully write. 298—Sophomores Michelle Lloyd, Parsons Cheryl Lockwood, Ft.

Wichita anine Wyatt, Erie 300—Sophomores Performing with a Musician Nina Kahle filled McCray Hall with her original piano music and vocals to an audience of about 80, in a SUB sponsored concert Jan. 31. Kahle, originally from Detroit, seemed to enjoy her performance as much as the rowdy audience members. She played the piano to accompany powerful vocals, and also did a few tunes on an Appalachian mountain dulcimer. “The dulcimer is fun to play,” she said, “and I’ve played the piano for ages.” Her vocal range is incredible, filling the auditorium without the use, or need, for any backup. Kahle’s musical style has been compared to Carly Simon and Joni Mitchell. One of the pleasant things about Kahle’s performance was the way her personality reached out into the audience. You began to feel as if she was playing and talking to you alone, instead of doing an impersonal concert to 80 people. She illustrated and introduced her songs with amusing stories and memories of her childhood and experiences. Kahle and her sister were raised by her mother and Hungarian gypsy grandmother, and several songs were amusing an- tecedents about life with grandma. One song, “Grandma Was a Gypsy,” told about the time her grandmother taught her a Hungarian folk dance. The song uses the original folk tune as a basis, but Kahle’s irresistible style takes over from there. Another amusing song, “Navy Man,” told of her sister sneaking her boyfriend, from the Navy, up to her room one night while their mother was out of town. Although Kahle’s first record never was cut, due to the record company folding, she is still hopeful. “I’m still looking fora label for my music,” she said. “Until then, I’ll just keep on performing.” She will soon receive national recognition, however. One of her songs, “Magic,” was selected by the Gillette Corporation for their new Silkience Shampoo commercial. The chorus, “Deep down and real, tell me how it feels...” is the background music for the commercial. “I’ve been living in Los Angeles for seven months,” she said. When someone in the audience cheered, she laughed. “I hate it!” she ex- claimed. “It’s nice to come back to the Midwest.” personal touch there is difficult Getting In October, the publication staffs from PSU headed for a national convention in Chicago- Members of the Collegio and Kanza staffs par- ticipated in the annual Associated Collegiate Press Convention at the Hyatt-Regency Hotel in Chicago. Getting there was the hard part Staffers left Pittsburg at three a.m Oct. 22, and drove to Kansas City to catch an Amtrak train to Chicago. Just outside a small Iowa town, the train was stopped due to a freight train derailment on the tracks ahead. After a two hour wait, the passengers were informed that the rest of the trip would be by bus. Amtrak officials and employees became almost hostile to the passengers, telling them to remain in their cars and they would be cal led for lunch. Several cars were not called, and ended up having to go beg for cold ham sandwiches and milk. Some passengers managed to get their luggage, but others were told the baggage cars were locked, and their suitcases would follow them to Chicago, arriving the next morning. Publication advisors were irate, to say the least. A fruitless argument with Amtrak officials led to ill-will on both parts, and nothing visibly ac- complished. A six-hour bus ride the rest of the way saw the weary Pitt Staters arrive tired and bedraggled in the glamourous Hyatt Hotel. Comments ranged from a simple, Wow!” to “Oh, my gosh, you mean we’re expected to go to sessions in these clothes?” to ‘Tm not going anywhere until I get my suitcase and a shower.” Fortunately, the luggage arrived that night at about 10 o’clock, and the rest of the convention went very well.

As in past years, the Pikes helped load and unload tables from trucks and set them up. They operated the parking lot west of the Newman Center, and worked on advertising the drive. Before the drive, Clayton Schul, Overland Park junior and Pike member, said, “We worked pretty hard on the blood drive last semester and our efforts showed. We’ve done a good job of informing the media and distributing posters about this one, so I think we’ll have a lot of par- ticipation from the university.” Omicron Delta Kappa, an academic honor society, sponsors a contest for each blood drive, awarding a trophy to the campus organization with the largest percentage of members donating. Members can also recruit non-members to donate in their organization’s name. Nurses from the Blood Bank in Springfield, Mo., did the actual work. The drive’s goal was 400 pints, after they had succeeded in getting 407 pints during the fall drive. The nurses set a goal of 130 pints a day, but ODK moved it up to 200 a day. Capt. Stephen Smith, depart- ment of military science, said, “We didn’t make it this year. We ended up with 304 pints,” The reason for the shortage, he said, might have been that there was a lot of sickness this spring. Several potential donors were turned away with colds or fevers. There were more nurses this time, which helped relieve congestion faced in past years, and Captain Smith added, “It went smoother this year, but we just didn’t get as many.” Juniors—305 David Newman, Leawood Harvey Newton, Overland Park Yuko Nogami, Yokohama, Japan Paul Norris, Pittsburg Richard Oborny, LaCrosse James Oliver, Crestline Joseph Orlando, Pittsburg Sherry Osborn, Asbury Crayton Ott, Miami, OK Annette Parrot, Weir Sandra Patterson, Ft.

A weather balloon purchased to help advertise the book on campus may have helped ac- complish that goal. For the Fall 1980 semester distribution of the book on the oval, a 16-foot diameter weather balloon was purchased by the Kanza to help at- tract people to the distribution table in front of the Student Union. However, the scheme didn’t work for long. As the balloon was being filled with helium, a punch to its side to determine fullness, and a loose grip on its throat, combined to send it upward. Even though the clouds were high and thin, it was soon lost from sight. Weather balloons are known to travel great distances before they deflate or are sent crashing to the earth by a storm. This one surely did not come down anywhere near Pitt- sburg. If only a Kanza had been attached, people hundreds, possibly thousands of miles away could have enjoyed its pages. Unfortunately, the only enjoyment anyone will get out of the balloon now is finding a heap of dirty rubber in their backyard. But, the balloon did help publicize the Kanza table as lots of people watched it fly away.

One student was caught with a camera and darkroom equipment stolen from the Kanza and Collegio offices in the Student Union basement. Security was tightened, with doors being chained instead of simply locked. Extra security guards patrolled the campus. On Friday, Feb. 6, Jack Van Gordon, a campus security officer, was at- tacked in the Union and knocked down a flight of stairs. He was conducting a routine security check when he heard a noise. Following up on it, he was pushed backwards and the assailant fled through the north door, Howard Herring, campus security, said. “We did collect some evidence that the person dropped while they were running away. We hope to be able to get some finger prints,” Herring said. In earlier break-ins, it seemed that the person had a key, but Campus Security was unable to tell if the person who attacked Van Gordon had a key or not. Bill Craker, Pittsburg, was tried for the robberies of the Kanza and Collegio offices. He had worked as a writer on the Kanza staff for the 1980 yearbook. He managed to obtain keys to the office, the darkroom, and file cabinets, but was identified by janitor Bud Kraner. At the time Van Gordon was at- tacked, Craker was being held by Pittsburg police. Hopefully, tightened security and student awareness of the problem will stop these robberies. Pittsburg has always been known as a peaceful little town. Violent crime may be on the upswing, but it would be nice if students and townspeople alike could still feel safe at night.

Brenda Esser, Conway Springs Richard Evans, Pittsburg Karen Fankhauser, Pittsburg Faculty and students, peddle pushing and mo-peds For many years, the American system required anyone who was anyone to drive a car. Professors drove to work, unless they lived so close as to be within walking distance. Hans Beerman, professor in the foreign language department, was for many years one of the few faculty members that bicycled to school. His small, bereted form could be seen pedalling down Elm Street every day until he retired last year. But this doesn’t mean that bicycling professors are a thing of the past. As a matter of fact, skyrocketing gasoline prices, recession, and near depression have convinced people to save money anyway they can. For many, faculty and students alike, this means riding a bicycle, walking from farther away, or riding fuelish mo-peds. Dr. Leland Keller, department of biology, and Dr. Elwyn Davis, department of mathematics, are both bicyclists, riding their way to work through all sorts of weather. Judith Shaw, department of history, pushes an old bike along to class. She is sometimes late, but a bicycle ride and three flights of Russ Hall steps are more than enough excuse. Mo-peds also came into vogue with the energy crisis. These little machines, part bicycle and part mototcycle, save lots of gas. For professors that live too far to walk or pedal, they can be the answer. In the department of printing, Richard Jacques, Robert Roberts, and Dr. David Vequist all ride mo- peds to school. And if things get even tighter, campus parking problems may become a thing of the past. No, on second thought, it may be worse. Perhaps the Physical Plant should think about putting up more bicycle racks! 310—Seniors Marjorie Fleming, Columbus Brenda Foerschler, Pittsburg Cheryl Freeman, Mapleton Debra Freisburg, Lawrence Pamela Fry, Wichita Susan Gardner, Thayer Teri Garner, Lee Summit, MO.

As a result, the Taiwanese government donated some 300 books to the university, and several pieces of artwork, according to Dr. Stevens Hilyard, director of the library. Hilyard said that the Pitt State president of the Chinese Students Association was selected to pick the books that would be donated. He selected them on the basis of what he thought American students would like to read about his country, “A bit of irony, there,” said Hilyard, “because they all turned out to be written in Chinese. He thought American students would be able to read them, but it turns out that the only ones that can are he and his friends.” The books are now part of the special collections section of the library, where anyone can look at them, or read them, if they happen to read Chinese. The paintings that were donated are hanging on display in the Student Services offices in Russ Hall. Hilyard said that as president, Dr. Appleberry was of course in- strumental in getting these gifts, but it had nothing to do with his visit to Taiwan, which took place after the 1979 donations were made.

Leon Garrison, a Pittsburg resident who learned tattooing with the Ringling Bros, and Barnum and Bailey Circus, displayed his talents by giving two students and one Pittsburg resident free tattoos. He usually charges $1.50 and up, depending on the size. He has tattooed the entire bodies of two women and one man. He said a surprising majority of his customers are women, showgirls who need tattoos put on for their acts. “It’s easier for these women to have their lips dyed red and their eyebrows dyed black than it is to put on makeup before each show,” Garrison said. In applying a tattoo, he first scrapes the hair from the area to prevent infection. He draws an outline of the tattoo, using a needle filled with ink in a tattooing machine. Shading is applied first, with a different machine. Each color in the design requires a different machine, and he has to use a different needle for each person. Your nervous system can only stand so much at a time,” said Garrison. A small tattoo I can do in one night, but something large like the Lord’s Prayer took me three months to do.” Garrison doesn’t have any tattoos of his own. “I’ve had the opportunity to be tattooed by the best tattooers in the business, but I’ve never really had a craving for one on my own body,” he explained.

The spikers ended regular season play with the record of 32-13-3 and never finished below third in the five regular season tournamets. Pitt State also made the history books by hosting the first National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics National Volleyball Championship for Women. The tournament was one of the first national championships that the NAIA will now sponsor for women’s athletics. The national event contained 16 teams, including the Gussies, from Rochester, N.Y., to Azusa, Calif., and 14 states in between. To say the least, the tourney represented the United States very well. The championship started at 8 a.m. on Thursday, Nov. 20. For the next two days some of the best volleyball teams in the nation battled to become the first team ever to win a NAIA volleyball title. Pitt State’s Gussies, who were seeded fourth going into the event, started the first day of play in winning style. They took the court against Greenville College and handed the Illinois-based team scores of 15-7 and 15-13. If there was any question that the Gussies could compete with the national competition, the answer rang out loud after their mauling of Greenville. The spikers then met Milton College of Milton, Wis. The matches with Milton were no trouble as the Gussies took the games with scores of 15-6 and 15-5. When things looked to be rolling the way of the spikers, the host team found themselves on the losing side of the net. The Gussies lost three straight matches to Franklin College of Franklin, Ind., Nebraska’s Kearney State College and then to Hillsdale College of Hillsdale, Mich. Pitt State played well enough to finish eighth in the NAIA tourney and had spiker Julia Maxton Alters, Cherokee senior, placed on the All- Tournament Team. 316—Seniors Diane Troth, Pleasanton Alan Upson, Kansas City David Vankirk, Liberal, MO.

KSEK-KMRJ was the concert’s co- sponsor. The show began a half hour late, because the group had a flat tire on their truck on the way down. “Then when we got down here, we had electrical problems on the set, so everything ran a little late,” said Craig Burke, the light man for the group. When they finally got going, however, they exploded on stage, and electrified the audience. They per- formed songs by the Beatles, Bob Seger, Jay Ferguson and Tom Petty. The audience responded wildly to these, and just as enthusiastically to J. T. Cooke originals such as “Don’t Run Away Again,” and “Lasting Man,” which is the filp side of their new single, “Bright Blue Eyes.” “You guys sound good, that’s ail I know,” commented lead singer Dave Maygers. By the second set, almost half the audience was up on the floor dancing to songs such as “Night Moves.” Maygers commanded audience attention, singing, playing guitar, and beating out a driving tambourine rhythm. Another dominating force on stage was lead guitarist Jimmy Dykes, who also helped out on vocals. Keyboard player Stew Langer also did vocals, including the lead on some songs. He played two keyboards, almost effortlessly switching back and forth. Drummer Garry MacDonald, bassist Frank Briones, and Brian Roberts on rhythm guitar completed the band. Audience response was sensational throughout the concert, and when midnight came, they still wanted more. Unfortunately, the late start forced the band to leave the stage without an encore. There may not have been many people at the Tower that Friday night, but the ones that were there certainly made up for it by their overwhelming response to the J. T. Cooke Band. ■ 318—Seniors Competition drives students to excell The most students from Pittsburg State University to be selected for medical school were in the Spring, 1980 graduating class of pre-med and pre-dental students. “We are very proud of our students in view of the severe competition they encounter when applying to pre- medical or pre-dental school,” said Dr. Leland Keller, professor of biology. Twenty-five students made it into their first choice schools. Dr. Keller said that over the past 20 years PSU has had a successful placement record of 72 per cent. This year, however, 76 per cent made it. “Medical schools look at four things: grades, scores on the national Medical College Admissions Test, the letter of recommendation, and the interview between the med school and the student,” said Dr. Keller. “The letters of recommendation come from the chairman or the ad- visor, not from the governor or the mayor of Pittsburg. That is one of the most common myths I hear, that you’ve got to know somebody to get into med school. Ours have gotten in on their merits,” he said. Out of the 40,000 students who apply to medical and dental scools every year, 16,000 make it. “Pre-med is the most difficult, challenging, competitive and disciplined program on this campus. “The grades of the students here and the scores on their national exams are somewhat consistent. The medical and dental schools look at the test scores as compared to grades and try to determine if the students have learned anything,” said Dr. Keller. He said that there were 140 students in the pre-med and pre-dental programs this year, whereas in 1957 there were only two. Pulyn Aghayere.

Those students are viewed as having an “edge” when it comes to starting a college career. But do they really? Missy Beard, Pittsburg junior, answered no. Beard is a pre-med student who has lived all her life in Pittsburg, spending her grade school days at the Horace Mann lab school on campus, and being what is fondly termed as a “faculty brat.” Her father Carl Beard is a teacher in the Physical Education Department. Missy said that she doesn’t feel she really has any sort of advantage over other students by having her father work on campus. “I know a lot of the professors just because they’re friends of my parents, but I don’t think it gives me any sort of edge over anyone, at least no more than anyone else who was raised in Pittsburg whose parents don’t work at the university.” Another problem with some students is the embarrassment of always being associated with a certain faculty member. “Oh, are you any relation to so-and-so?” Or even worse, “Are you so-and-so’s tittle girl?” That’s fine when you’re in fifth grade, but by the time a student has reached 20, and established a reputation on their own, it gets a little discouraging. Missy, by being in such a different field from her father, really doesn’t face much of that, either, she said. “I never really come in contact with him,” she commented. Carl Beard said that, although he wanted Missy to go to PSU, he didn’t think he influenced her decision. “I think she probably would have gone here anyway.” The advantages of being able to live at home cheaply certainly tend to outweigh any disadvantages there might be. Beard also said he thought it was a good idea for her to attend PSU. “I thought it was a good school, and because I taught here, it was a 322—Nurses Faculty Dr. Robert J.

This problem isn’t quite so obvious as it was when Horace Mann School and College High were still in operation, and Beard said he wasn’t sure it was even a problem then. “She was in Horace Mann, but it closed before she reached high school, so she wasn’t that much connected with me. When they built the new gymnasium it was so far away there wasn’t any problem.” The old university gymnasium used to be located between Yates Hal) and the Student Union, until Weede was built in 1972.

About four years ago, Wooster said he bought a piece of property outside Chanute. While working on the land building fences and other farm work, he became intrigued with the land, with nature, and the environment in general. In working with fencing using hedge posts, he started seeing personalities in each individual post. He did a couple of pieces using the posts representing people, including a piece called “Anniversary,” representing him and his wife, “the sun sets between them on our an- niversary,” Wooster said. By the time the hostage crisis came along, Wooster was deeply involved with the idea of environmental sculpture. He had planned to hold his display last year by having 52 people blindfolded and tied to chairs in Whitesitt Hall. After the program, he would just leave the chairs and blindfolds on display until the hostages were released. Due to what he termed “a hassle with the administration,” it wasn’t done. This year, he was even more in- trigued by the idea of non-traditional art, such as environmental art and performing arts. He decided to use space in the old Porter Library, because the empty building reminded him of where hostages might be kept. He had originally planned to use 52 people in a program, blindfolded, and then put the blindfolds on 52 fen- ceposts that appeared in a garden plot south of the Student Union. However, a critical point in the hostage negotiations came the weekend of Jan. 13, when Wooster was to open his display. “I thought they might literally be released any moment,” he said. “I kind of changed my plans.” The 52 people dwindled down to five. He used a clock ticking to symbolize the passage of time, and the 52 fence posts to represent numbers. “You can think 52, but when you see 52 things, people, pictures, whatever, you catch the impact,” Wooster said. Then, when the hostages were released, he just tied yellow ribbons around the posts. They were supposed to come down the day the hostages were released, but Woostdr decided to leave them up during the festivities surrounding their homecoming. “Then they froze into the ground, and I had as much trouble releasing them as we had getting the hostages out!” Faculty—325 Wide background precedes presidency Dr. James B.

They didn’t know how to write, they just weren’t ex- perienced. Also, freshmen usually don’t have their priorities in order.” Stites added, “The older staff members, the people who were really into it, did fine. My editors, Sheri and Jacque, were just fantastic.” Other switches included photo editor. This position went from Bob Benignus, PSU graduate, to Janet Dulohery, Parsons freshman, and finally to Dot Koehler, Pittsburg sophomore. Advertising manager went from Joe Hedges, Winfield senior, to Brian Davis, Colby fresh- man. “We just had all kinds of problems,” Stites laughed. Last year, the publications complex in the Student Union basement purchased a new editing system, and reporters and editors alike had to learn new techniques. At the end of the 1980 fall semester, Mycro-Tek, Inc. provided the publications with a systems update, and new habits had to be learned once more. But by the end of the year, everyone was thoroughly adjusted to the system. In addition to the routine of Friday deadlines and late Monday nights, the staff attended the Associated Collegiate Press-National Council of College Publication Advisors 56th annual convention in Chicago. Three days were spend attending sessions on various aspects of collegiate journalism, and simply enjoying the Hyatt-Regency Hotel and the Michigan Mile. In the spring, members of the Collegio and Kanza staffs attended a Society of Collegiate Journalists Convention in Springfield, Mo. The final event of the year was the annual SCJ Kanza and Collegio awards banquet, held April 29 at the Holiday Inn. The Collegio received its fourth consecutive Five Star All American rating from ACP for journalistic excellence in a college newspaper for the fall 1980 semester. Every year it’s something different. Last year, the Collegio was con- fronted with controversy again and again. In 1980-81, the big problem was staff turnover, according to editor Janet Stites, St. John junior. The staff started out with Stites as editor, Chris Bohling, Winfield junior, as managing editor, and Sheri Johnson, Prairie Village junior, news editor. Bohling left school, so Johnson moved up to managing editor, and Jacque Porter, Pittsburg sophomore, became news editor. “Then,” said Stites, “We started out with Michelle and Karen O’Connell as copy-editors, then it was Karen and Kris Barnes, then Karen and Chris Bohling.” A big part of a newspaper staff is the pittsburg state university collegio Thursday Pittsburg, Kansas August 21, 1980 Volume 63 No, 31 Collegio makes changes 344—Collegio “This is the 20th All American rating for the Collegio, which says a lot about the students who have been a part of this newspaper,” said Dr. John Knowles, associate professor of journalism and advisor to the Collegio. Stites and Johnson were awarded SCJ National Certificates of Merit. These awards are given out by the national organization in recognition of high standing in journalistic achievement. Other awards went to Gary Griggs, Kansas City sophomore and second- semester sports editor, for sports writing. Hedges was awarded the advertising award and Porter won the feature writing award. Awards also went to Bohling, copy editing; Koehler, photography; Rick Scharf, Tuscon, Ariz., sophomore, printing; FRONT ROW: Eley lley, Jacque Porter, Janet Stites, Karen O’Connell, copy editor; Sheri Johnson, Rosemary Hessman, BACK ROW: Gary Griggs, sports editor; Bill Welkner, Chris Bohling, John Depoe, Rick Scharf, Janet Dutohery, Dot Koehler, photo editor; Scott Miller, Brian Davis, advertising manager.

A new award was established this year for both Kanza and Collegio staffers. The Douglas K. Stuckey Outstanding Business Manager Award was presented to Connie Sue Rentz, Paola senior, and Jean Ross, Humboldt senior, for their efforts as business managers on the two publications. Stites stepped down as editor after the last issue came out May 6. The editor for 1981-82 will be Bohling. Bohling and Rebecca White, Pitt- sburg senior, will share the position for the summer session.—by Olive Sullivan EDITORS: Sheri Johnson, managing editor; Jacque Porter, news editor; Dr, John Knowles, advisor; Janet Stites, editor. Collegio—345 Kanza expands format Every year since 1903, students at PSU have put out a yearbook. Every year they looked pretty much the same, until 1980, That year, a new staff put out a new kind of book—lots of big, bold pictures, feature articles on every aspect of campus living and of course, the traditional pages of group pictures and student portraits. Their efforts payed off, and in the fall, the editors were overjoyed to find out that the 1980 Kanza was the recipient of an All American rating with four marks of distinction from the Associated Collegiate Press. The Kanza was one of the top 18 books in the nation. Armed with their award, editor Linda Tracy, Kansas City junior, and Olive Sullivan, managing editor and Pitt- sburg junior, set out to put out an even better yearbook. The design of the book didn’t have to APPROXIMATELY 190D YEARBOOKS were sold last year. Empty boxes litter the area where Kanza staffers passed out the 1979-80 book.—photo by Kyle Cleveland THE END RESULT of all that effort paid off as long lines of students waited to collect their 1980 Kanza. —photo by Kyle Cleveland change much. The staff tried to keep what was good and fix last year’s mistakes. Pictures were run even larger, and copy was shortened. The book was divided into two sections, the magazine, and the annual. The magazine is just what it sounds like— a record of the year in features that look like any slick publication might put out. As adviser Glenn Robinson put it, “How many yearbooks will you be working on when you get out of school?” Except for those going into teaching, the majority of staffers will be going into a varied array of journalistic fields. The annual section contains the traditional part of PSU — organizations, greeks, faculty and staff and students. The year began with an almost new staff. Tracy and Sullivan were returning to their old positions. Anna Arellano, Newton junior, was assistant editor. Other editors were Chris Knoedler, design editor and Hastings, Neb., junior, and Alan Ford, Humboldt senior, photography. Only three photographers returned, and only Knoedler and Arellano were experienced designers. 346—Kanza Writers were recruited from the Collegio staff, and cooperation between the two staffs went smoothly. In October, several members of the staff went to Chicago for the 56th annual ACP-NCCPA (National Council of Collegiate Publications Advisers) convention. They attended sessions on all aspects of journalism: design, magazine format, copy- writing, coverage and photography. At the semester change, there was a major turn-over in personnel. Photo editor Ford left, and was replaced by Kyle Cleveland, Carl Junction, Mo., sophomore. Elaine Arellano, Newton freshman, left the design staff, and photographers Penny Banks, Kingman freshman, and Kreg Cox, Kearney, Mo., freshman, left to be replaced by Scott Miller, Cherokee, la., freshman, and Carol Dikeman, Ft. Scott freshman. Tammy Bohn, Pittsburg freshman, was hired to do the index. Another' new feature of the 1981 Kanza is the use of artwork. The staff covered several sensitive issues this year, and artwork was decided upon as the best way to illustrate them, and as a change of face for the book itself. Rosemary Hessman, Pittsburg freshman, was recruited from the FRONT ROW: Jean Ross, Leslie Powers, Vicky Raine, Scott Miller. BACK ROW: Dot Koehler, Kym Moyer, Bill Holrom.—photo by Kyle Cleveland Collegio staff. In April, staffers attended the Society of Collegiate Journalists Convention in Springfield, Mo. Sullivan and Tracy were PSU delegates, and due to their and Arellano’s efforts, PSU was chosen as one of three schools on the SCJ national council. Arellano was chosen as the representative, while Tracy and Sullivan will serve as co- reps. Finally, the year was almost over, EDITORS: Linda Tracy, editor; Glenn Robinson, adviser; Olive Sullivan, managing editor. and there were still major deadlines to be met. Jim Abshire, Pittsburg senior, and Phyllis Webster, Pitt- sburg junior, were hired as writers at the last minute but still had the opportunity to put out their share of copy. It wasn’t until June that the last pages were sent in. The final big event of the year, though, was the SCJ Kanza and Collegio awards banquet, held at the Holiday Inn on April 29. Tracy was awarded the SCJ National Medal of Merit in recognition of her two years as Kanza editor. Tracy was the first Kanza editor ever to receive the Medal of Merit. The recipients of other awards were Vicky Raine, Pittsburg senior, out- standing page designer; Miller, outstanding photographer; Stephen Jones, Joplin, Mo., senior, out- standing copy-writer; and Leslie Powers, Neosho, Mo., senior, distinguished service. Tracy presented two new awards. One, the Editor’s Award, was presented to Sullivan in recognition of her three years on the staff. The final plaque was given to Robinson, and read, “Thanks to an adviser who yelled, complained, and disagreed with everything I did.” “I can hardly wait to see your editors when they see that!” Tracy said. Next year, Arellano will be editor, —by Olive Sullivan Kanza—347 348—Closing A change of It was a year of changing faces, all right, both nationally and on campus.

But this is not a summing-up of the year. This is the time when everything has been said, everything done. This is just a crystalization of the thoughts and feelings that run through each and every hopeful graduate’s mind on that final fateful day in Weede. All the tears and sorrow at parting from life- time friends you only met in August, all the excitement of going home for low-paying summer job—they all are a part of it. It’s not an ending, though.

For them it is the start of a new career, a new life-style far removed from getting up late and going to classes. For those who stayed behind, it is simply the beginning of another year full of new faces and old. So look back. See what you’ve missed last time, and jog those memories of 1981 at PSU. All the changing faces of the campus, the students and the nation are hopefully summed up in these pages. But they are just a reminder for you. Your memories are your own, and as unique as each face in this sea of faces we call Pittsburg State. GRADUATION IS AN EMOTIONAL EX- PERIENCE for Michelle Renner and Jerry Schmidt, both receiving their B.A. degrees. Renner and Schmidt were just part of the capacity crowd at the ceremony.—photo by Kyle Cleveland 352—Closing A change of face After my second year as editor of the Kanza, some things seemed much easier. However, there were still times when things got rough. With the extreme effort put out by each staff member the rough edges were smoothed out and the 1981 Kanza was completed. Going to school and working on the yearbook staff takes much dedication and hard work. Even though our staff was small, they put in the extra hours to produce the 1981 book. A change of face will take place on the staff next year as new staff members and new ideas replace the old. With all my memories of the past two years, I too must say good-bye. Thanks to all of my staff, Dot, Vicky, Leslie, Kym and Bill for all of the late late nights you put in to help produce this book. Thanks to Anna my assistant editor, Kyle my photo editor and Chris my design editor for their dedicated leadership. But, special thanks to Olive, without your help I would not have made it through. And of course, thanks Glenn, for sticking by me when things got rough. The experience I have gained as editor I will carry with me always. More importantly, I hope that the 1981 Kanza has reflected your 1980-81 school year at Pittsburg State. Linda Tracy Editor Linda K. Tracy Olive L.
