From the first moment they step upon this stage as freshmen, they experience the same excitement, nervousness and anticipation in satisfying parents, teachers and themselves, as do actors and actresses on Broadway in trying to fulfill the expectations of their many audiences. The stage is set. From the moment the lights go on and the curtain rises that first day of school, the future out- come can only be determined by the student. The perfor- mance on this stage also has great influence over stages in which the student will act a part later on in life. For four years, students must rehearse and re-rehearse their skill and ability to become a functional part of their ever-growing, ever-changing society. The never-ending classwork, the dreaded term papers, school athletics, organizational activities and the everyday interaction with fellow students, faculty and members of the administra- tion all combine to form actors and actresses who will be able to perform with the utmost confidence before their many future audiences. continued on page 4 EXPLODING AT TARTUFFE'S decision that Marianne, played by Anna Arellano, must marry someone she doesn't love, Orgon and Dorine, played by Brad Burnett and Kamela White, voice their opinions about the powerful tyrant in Tartuffe, a neoclassical comedy presented last April in Kelce Auditorium. —photo by Jo Black Kanza 1983 On Broadway Kanza 83 Opening J The 1982-83 school year was the perfect setting for stu- dents to get their first glimpse of what stages and ex- periences lay ahead of them. The year opened on a rather serious note when a hit and run driver injured six students in Hollywood's parking lot across South Broadway Street from the PSU campus. Five of the students received minor injuries while Jim Page, Spring Hill sophomore, was hospitalized for two months with a fractured pelvis, burns, contusions, cuts and an ex- continued on page 6 RAINY WEATHER MUDDLED the first day of Apefest as an all-school picnic was moved from the college lake to Gibson Dining Hall. —photo by Jo Black DEMONSTRATING THE SKILLS of freestyle frisbee during the Apefest Car Show at the college lake are Mike Cook, Gardner senior, and two members of the Wichita Jirations.

The athletic department saw many changes not only in programs but in personnel as well. The women's track team has been experiencing a period of de-emphasis for the past two years due to inadequate funding and the availability of only a part-time coaching staff. With the end of the 1982-83 school year, the program will no longer be offered. The desire to return to teaching brought the resignation of former Athletic Director Dr. Bill Dickey.

Suenram will continue to uphold his coaching respon- sibilities along with his new position. PSU students also experienced some facets of our society's financial crunch as many of President Reagan's educational budget cuts were put into effect with the beginning of the 1982-83 school year. Cartoon characters was the theme for the 1982 Homecoming, and Vicki Matarazzi, Pittsburg senior, was elected by the student body to reign over the festivities. Eligibility requirements for federal student loans were restricted even more than in past years. Out-of-state travel monies were cut and campus organizations found that Student Senate allocations were scarce. Seven faculty positions were eliminated from various campus departments without knowledge of whether or not those contracts would be renewed. Due to the regula- tion of Affirmative Action, faculty members will be forced to re-apply for those positions if and when they are renewed. The past year also saw the entire University again go continued on page 8 DOING A BELLY SLIDE in the mud at the President's Field during the Derby Days Ultimate Frisbee Tournament is Mike Cook, Gardner senior. —photo by Steven Hausler Kanza 83 Oi on Broadway HOT DOCS, BEER and a good time were on the menu for the annual Creek Week picnic at the college lake.

The Associated Students of Kansas led the opposi- tion in Topeka to raise the drinking age by offering their testimonials to the Kansas Legislature. For two students, the 1982-83 school year will hold memories of a close battle for victory. Roch Switlik, Parsons senior, and David Ramsey, Fontana senior, were elected as the 1983-84 Student Senate president and vice- president, respectively. Switlik and Ramsey ran under the Prudential party name and after a recount of the original tabulations, defeated Angela Wood, Fort Scott junior, and Jim Burke, Fort Scott sophomore. continued on page 12 PARTICIPATION IS ONE of the unusual elements of the Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Students also turned out to support what has become a Pittsburg State University tradition within the past few years—the showing of the ever-famous Rocky Horror Picture Show. Everyone went all out for the all-weekend event by dressing up in everything from trash bags and heavy make- up to punk hairstyles and gawdy jewelry. Those avid fans even got their own time on stage in front of the huge audiences that attended as they chanted along with various phrases throughout the movie on the floor below the screen in Grubbs Auditorium.

When the graduating class of 1983 walked across their final stage of PSU at graduation they weren't alone as University President James Appleberry made his last ap- pearance also.

We ail have to admit that a college student's budget is the main considera- tion in attempting to locate living ac- commodations while attending school. Freshmen at Pittsburg State Univer- sity are required to live on campus in the dorms and eat on either the 10 or 18 meal plan, unless they are from Pitt- sburg and live with their parents. But thir- doesn't limit dorm residents to freshmen only. For me, living in the dorms makes it easier to meet people, and since I'm on the meal plan I don't have to worry about cooking or washing dishes, said Gayle Brown, Leavenworth, sophomore. Living at home is probably the most economic way to live. 'It's not as difficult for me to budget my money, because I don't have to pay those monthly bills like most students. I can spend my money on almost anything, said Bill Sullivan, Pittsburg freshman. Fraternity and sorority houses are probably the most popular types of budgetary housing on campus for up- perclassmen. Most members of greek organizations think that living in frater- nity or sorority houses is cheaper than other places because they pay one price per month which includes electricity, gas, water and trash service and usually some type of meal plan. At the Sigma Sigma Sigma house, there's always someone around. You learn how to get along in a big group and respect other people ' said Sharon Maloney, Prairie Village junior. Even though living in a rental house is considerably more advantageous than most other types of living accom- modations, most students feel it is more TAKING ADVANTAGE OF a few quiet moments around the Fellowship of Christian Athletes' house is Randy Rus- sell, Olathe senior, as he tries to get some studying done, —photo by Brett Roberts o Budget Housing expensive. Randy Russell, Olathe senior, lives in the Fellowship of Christian Athletes' house across from Nation Hall on Elm Street and said it's a great place to just kick back and put in a dip. It's fairly inexpensive while it's warm outside, but when it gets cold, the air just comes right through the windows and cracks in the walls. Our gas bills get extremely high. We do turn on the heat but sometimes we still have to crack the ice in the toilet, he laughed. Russell added that it's sometimes real hard to study when you've got on all kinds of coats and sweats. We just huddle up in the living room and watch TV. Sometimes we even make snacks by roasting marshmellows with a blowtorch, he said. —by Kelly Hollstadt HELEN LEE, TAIWAN senior and Jeanette Sexton, Erie sophomore, rent rooms from Sarah Cuthberson, Pitt- sburg resident.

(Having a roommate not only offers the opportunity to enhance your wardrobe, add to - our transportation facilities and borrow a few bucks here and there, but it also gives college stu- dents c. chance to get to know other peop'e and possibly develop relation ships that could last their entire lives. The reasons for having any particular roommate and choosing certain living conditions vary as much as do in- dividuals. With he ecomomic situation being what it is today, you can bet that funds ' or the lack thereof, is an im- portant consideration for students when they attempt to find somewhere to live while going to school. Pittsburg offers a variety of living ar- rangements particularly for students. Facilities range all the way from the basic dormitory, to apartments, mobile homes and houses. The majority of students, given the average student income, can't afford to live alone. So, the trek begins to find the suitable roommate—which is preferrably one that can be tolerated for at least one semester. For some Pittsburg State University students, this doesn't prove to be a dif- ficult task, and many are very satisfied with the living conditions they have found. Ginger Dunn, Pittsburg senior, and Staci Whaley, Wellsville junior, were pretty fortunate in finding accom- modations last fall. Dunn's parents moved to the Chicago area after her father received a company transfer. They took their house off the market and Dunn and Whaley agreed to move in at a reasonable expense. MEMBERS OF THE Sigma Chi fraternity have found that eating scheduled house meals buffet-style is inexpensive and fun. Don Rowland, Wynadott sophomore and Kreg Kox, Kearney, Mo., junior, fill their plates and get ready to dig in. —photo by Brett Roberts INGE MANASSEH, INDONESIA junior, explains to her dorm roommate. Rebecca Randolph, Lake Quivira senior, how this Batik material tablecloth was made by hand, —photo by Brett Roberts Dunn said that all of the bills are paid by her parents and then sent here where her and Whaley split the cost. As fur food and eating arrangements, it's a little hard to catch them both at the same me. V c go ahead and do our own grocery shopping because a lot of times we don't get the chance to sit down to a meal together, Dunn said. But, if it turns out that we can eat at the same time, we share a lot things. You really get just as much out of it as you put in, o we think it's pretty fair. Being involved in so many things at school and with classes and other ac- tivities, there's no one around a lot of the time. So, if something needs done, and you've got a minute, you do it, Whaley said. Doug Newson, Wellsville junior, also lives in a house but has a little less privacy. 'With four guys living in one house, there's always something going on and we usually see a lot of each other. Most all of us are out of classes by early after- noon, so we just kind of hang around or watch television together, he said. Newson added that the expense is definitely less when you're able to split costs four ways, We divide everything—even the grocery bill—and usually everyone gets his fair share, including the chores of cooking and washing dishes since we almost always eat together, he said. Two of Newson's roommates are from his hometown and have known each other for some time, but he said that by living together, they have definitely gotten closer. Grant McKibben, Leavenworth senior, chooses to make his college home with not just two or three other people but 16, by living in a fraternity house. It has a lot of advantages. You're in a family-type situation. There's always someone around and it's definitely never lonely. If you need someone to do something for you or someone to just talk to, you know you don't have to continued on page 22 Roommates Living Z ENJOYING A GAME of backgammon and Red Lady 21 is Bill Barthelme, Pittsburg Junior, and Pat Gill, Gardner junior.

McKibben said that in living with so many other guys, there's got to be a lot of give and take and a lot of sharing. “Sometimes there's a party going on when you want to go to bed, sometimes you have to wait awhile to get in the shower and you don't always have the privacy you might want. But, most everyone is pretty considerate, and everyone holds respect for other people's rooms and property. Overall, Roommates Living it's a good experience. You learn an awful lot ' McKibben said. Some roommate situations are not always girl-girl and boy-boy, and for many different reasons. The living con- ditions that have to be endured are also of a different variety, according to Christy Drake, Erie sophomore, who lives with her brother David, Erie junior. We share a house, and by living with a relative it's a lot easier because we've already developed the relationship needed in order to really know a person because we've lived together all our lives. It also proves to be better economically for the family, Drake said. Attitudes between a brother and sister are a lot different than those you have with a good friend. It's so much easier to say how you feel, especially when you're mad, because you know each other so well. Anger is definitely directed differently. Drake said that about the only thing that's not shared between them is the housework, which she said is usually all piled on me. The bathroom situation proves to be very difficult in that with a girl and a guy sharing the same facilities, someone is going to have to wait. Sometimes there is very little privacy. If Dave has someone over and I'm taking a shower, it's a different situation than if I was living with another girl, Drake laughed. She added that neither of them see much of each other at all and if they do, it's usually only for about an hour a day. I usually have to be Dave's alarm clock, so mornings are about the only time we're home together, she said. Cindy Cowan, Pittsburg senior, and Richard Burrows, Columbus junior, also share a house but are obviously not brother and sister. Cowan and Burrows are planning to be married in the near future and don't find it economically feasible to live in two separate houses. By living together now, we can both save and pool our savings together for our future, Cowan said. We can also combine our paychecks to cover the bills and expenses, which helps, and whatever is left over, we share. Cowan said that house duties do vary when living with a guy as compared to living with other girls. Guys are messier. They take off a WASHING DISHES AFTER the evening meal is one of the responsibilities of living in a fraternity house for Jeff Ar- note, Prairie Village sophomore, —photo by Brett Roberts shirt, throw it on the floor and that's the last they see of it until it just happens to magically appear in their closet again, she laughed. Cowan added that living with a guy also tends to limit her wardrobe and cosmetic supplies. Richard doesn't exactly share my taste in clothes and his make-up is definitely limited, but, that's something I guess I can live with ' Cowan mused. She said that by being able to see each other everyday and by being able to do a lot of things together, she and Burrows have had the chance to really get to know each other well. We're able to see now what it's go- ing to be like when we're married, which is a definite advantage. I guess you could say it's like a sneak preview of coming attractions. —by Jacque Porter Roommates Living A man's best friends Loyal friends aren't always people After a long day of classes and hard work, students are usually ready for a relaxing atmosphere free of the every- day routine of college responsibility. For some, it means having a beer with a few friends, catching a movie or just watching some television, but for others it means spending a little time with some very special and loyal companions—their pets. Keith Shively, Girard junior, doesn't own your average, run-of-the-mill dog or cat. Instead, he has three cockatils, two parakeets and a 40-gallon aquarium which houses everything from black knives and angelfish to glass cats. Cockatils are small parrots which measure about nine inches in heighth and have cowlick-like head feathers that are usually gray or all white in color. Shively has two albino cockatils and one gray with a white stripe down its back and they all have bright yellow head feathers. The smaller cockatils are supposed to be the easiest to get to talk, but they haven't yet, so I'm still trying. I have a record that I play to help them along a little bit, but so far I haven't had much luck, he said. Shively keeps his birds in cages in his bathroom and bedroom and also has a real tree in his living room for them to sit in when he turns them loose in the house. My aquarium is also in the living room. They prove to be good conversa- tion pieces when people come over and I get a lot of comments about them, he said. J have all the basic equipment needed for the upkeep of the aquarium so I only have to clean it about once a month and the birds are really no problem. I only spend about $10 a month, on the average, for pet food, he said. Burl Powell, Granby, Mo., senior, finds not only companionship but some rather comical entertainment in his PARAKEETS ARE GOOD for people who cannot keep cats or dogs in their apartments. They are relatively easy to take care of and can be taught to talk.—photo by Jo Black 24 pure black feline friend, Sam. I didn't really find Sam, he found me ' Powell said. I went to the front door one morning because I thought I heard something on the porch and there he was climbing on the screen door. He was only about two months old. He's been a lot of company when no one else is around and he's a lot of fun. He's pretty laid back and mellow but he's real affectionate for a cat. You can also tell when his mood changes by the way he acts. When he's mad he whips his tail real fast ' he said. Sam also acts as an alarm clock and Powell said he has his own way of wak- ing him up in the morning. My bedroom door is usually always open just a crack and Sam will put his claws under the door and bang it back and forth until 1 come and open it ' he said. I didn't really find Sam, he found me. Powell said that having a cat is not a big expense even when you have some unusual vet bills. I was messing around with a fly and some fishing line for my rod one day and Sam ran through the line and got hooked, so I had to spend about $40 to get him out of that one, but for what you get in return from an animal, they're worth the expense ' Powell said. Anna Golob, Pittsburg senior, like Shively, also owns a parakeet, Gripper. Even though Gripper stays in his cage most of the time, Golob said he still proves to be amusing. He gets real excited in the morning and will just fly around in his cage and squawk until I get up and take the cover off of his cage ' she said. Whenever he gets hyper, he'll grap the top wires of his cage with his beak and just hang there ana swing back and forth. Even though most college students wouldn't go as far as to say that their pets are their best friends, most agree that they come pretty close,—by jacque Porter BY PLAYING A game of keep away, Rick Wrightswam, Westwood sophomore, enjoys the fail weather and Lance, owned by Robert McCrary, Overland Park junior, gets his daily exercise, —photo by Mike Pruett Pets o p Living All in a day's work Marriage, family and college prove to be big load H I I t's hard at times because you can't be out running around a lot. You have to learn how to proportion your time so you can study, work and still be with your family ' said Danny Davenport, Farlington senior. Davenport and his wife Cindy, with seven and a half month-old son Patrick are just one of several couples at Pitt- sburg State University who go to school, work and are already raising a family. Married students with children are not uncommon at colleges and univer- sities across the country. They go to school and work like other students, but in addition to the routine of college life, they experience the problems and satisfactions of being married and rais- ing a family. I go to classes during the day, then I work from 5:30 p.m. - 2:00 a.m. everyday, Davenport said. Cindy and I are both going to school and she's teaching aerobics so we're pretty busy. It's difficult, but it's not impossible. Rock Davied, Pittsburg sophomore, and his wife Aline are another married couple at PSU. They live with their son Junior in the East Campus Apartments. There's definitely a strain, but sometimes I give Aline presents if I can. I do it to let her know I still love her even if I'm not around a lot, Davied said. It's really hard, but we get by, Aline said. With me working though, I don't get to see Rock at lunch anymore BEING A FULL-TIME student, husband and lather takes a lot of time for Rock Davied, Pittsburg junior. Daviedrs wife Aline occupies her time as a full-time housewife. — photo by jo Black HAVING A FAMILY and being a student require a balance between studying and her son Patrick Ryan for Cindy Davenport, Pittsburg graduate student. Daven- port's husband, Dan, also works and goes to school full- time. —photo by Jo Black and I miss that. Another such couple is Allen and Bridget Krenz who live in a mobile home outside of Pittsburg with two and a half year-old son Brandon. Allen works at an on-campus job while at- tending school and his wife works full � I ✓ Marriage, Family and College Living time at the National Bank of Pittsburg. It's tough financially and limited timewise. If Pm not at work or school or studying Pm doing things that need to be done at home ' Allen said. Having children also puts an ad- ditional burden on couples. In addition to the expenses curtailed for a babysit- ter, couples find they don't get out as often as they used to. We sacrifice a lot in respect to Brandon. We don't go out as much in the evening unless we can take him. Another thing is that you miss out on a lot of their growing up because of their going to a babysitter. You're letting someone else train your child in their early years and that's hard to deal with ' said Krenz. Despite some of the problems of hav- ing children, all three couples feel they're well worth it, I love Junior for everything he's worth and I wouldn't give him up for anything in the world ' said Rock Davied. I couldn't imagine not having Patrick around. He's my buddy ' said Cindy Davenport. Married couples in college also have to make some personal sacrifices to get by, although they feel that the sacrifices too are worth it. Bridget is making a big sacrifice to put me through school. And I have to give up taking a lot of elective courses Pd like to take. I also can't be as active on campus as Pd like because Pm put- ting four years of college into two and a half ' said Krenz. Overall it's been a good experience. It does get hard a lot of the times, but we're together and we're happy, said Bridget Krenz. We just keep looking ahead and saying everything will work out and besides, we can see the end in sight ' she added.—by Yvette Wheeler An apple a day . . . Will it really keep the doctor away? Have you ever had a toothache, stomach flu or just the dreaded com- mon cold and been 200 miles from your family doctor or dentist? These situations can prove to be very frustrating for students that are attend- ing school away from home and haven't made any arrangement for health care with a community physician or dentist. The Student Health Center offers a solution to the problem. All students enrolled in seven or more credit hours are eligible for the services provided by the center. According to Dr. James AuBuchon, director of Planning and Student De- velopment, the operation of the center is supported entirely by student fees Health Services Living__________ since it doesn't receive any financial support from taxes or general Universi- ty appropriations. Margaret Rupard, head nurse at the center said that their services include performing first aid care for all emer- gencies and giving treatment for minor conditions, taking diagnostic x-rays when ordered by a physician and pro- viding health conferences with the school nurse on campus as needed. If a student needs to see a physician, the center will make referrals to local medical specialists and reimburse the student up to $9 for the first office visit. student up to $9 for the first office visit. However, this excludes eye refractions and routine dental maintenance. Kelly Rogers, Springfield, Mo., junior, said the center comes in handy if you do need treatment for a minor il- lness or injury and can't afford to go to a local physician. 'They'll take throat cultures and give you aspirin and lozenges for the basic cold and flu which really saves a lot of money when you think of what it would cost you for an office call. Paying for some of the bill if you do have to see a local doctor helps quite a bit, too, she said. Some students don't go through the Student Health Center but go ahead and go to physicians, as well as dentists, within the community. I do treat a few students from time to time, but I think the trend is changing, said Dr. Davis Cheek, a Pitt- sburg dentist, Most of the time they come in for emergency treatment so they can make it until they can get back home. I really don't see many from out of town regularly. According to Francis Ales, the office manager for Pittsburg physicians Dr. HAVING YOUR DENTAL work done out of town is sometimes an uneasy experience, but Monique Cantu, Kansas City, sophomore, finds it easy to be relaxed as Dr. Davis, Pittsburg dentist, applies his dental skills with the help of his assistant, Jean Ann Hontz. —photo by Jo Black AS A ONE YEAR nurse, Paulette Newton, an employee of the Pittsburg Family Planning Clinic, stresses to patients the importance of having their blood pressure checked regularly, —photo by Jo Black Donald Holsinger and Dr. G.W. Pogson, their office averages about five students per month. The students that usually come through our office haven't been through the Student Health Center at all. They usually need cold and sore throat medication or treatment for emergency injuries, Ales said. Dr. Cheek and Ales agree that in- surance coverage of medical bills can be one of the biggest problems in treating college students. Insurance is long, involved and in- convenient, Dr. Cheek said. A lot of times all the forms have to be sent to parents because students usually don't know their policy numbers. There are also different treatments, different con- ditions and different companies you have to deal with, he said. Ales said that when payment of bills can't be made by the student, or if problems do arise with insurance, parents are notified. Most students pay right here on the spot in cash. We don't even have to send out billing to most of them. We run into difficulties with only about five percent of the students we treat, she said. —by Jacque Porter Health Services Living Zj Behind the wheel Commuting is part of the routine The majority of college students today learned the skill of driving in a high school driver's education class. A number of students at Pittsburg State University who are not local residents of Pittsburg, Arma or Frontenac take advan- tage of this knowledge as they commute to and from school everyday and, for many, there is simply no other choice. The percentage of commuters has stayed about the same within the past 10 years with commuters totaling 812 out of 3,878 in 1972, according to Wilma Minton, director of Student Affairs. Minton said that of the 3,845 full-time undergraduates enrolled in the fall of 1982, 671 commuted. One of these people is Thomas Flinchum, Independence senior, who has been driving to PSU five days a week since the fall of 1981. Flinchum said that driving back and forth every day has just proven to be more economical than moving to Pit- tsburg since both he and his wife, Janet, have well-paying jobs in Independence. I'm a motor carrier for the Kansas City Star and Janet is a computer operator for the Montgomery County Appraiser's Of- fice. With three children and my wife ex- pecting another the money is just too good for us to quit and move, Flinchum said. Flinchum drives just about 650 miles a week to and from campus but says that about $30 a week usually covers gas expenses thanks to his Commuting Living___ THE BROWN ZONE parking lot often provides the only parking space for students who have to commute back and forth to Pittsburg State University everyday. —photo by Ouane Smith Toyota Celica which does well on mileage. In addition, his job as a motor carrier demands alot of driving time also, which puts him on the road even more than the average commuter. However, Flinchum said that the time he spends behind the wheel is not wasted time. On the job, he rolls papers with his hands and drives with his knees. Off the job, he studies. It's hazardous, he laughed, but at least it's not wasted time. Payton Ryser, Baxter Springs junior, lives with his parents and feels com- muting offers some definite advantages. I study more at home and I don't have to worry about the hastle of paying bills. All I've got to do is eat and study, he said. Ryser said that his gas bill is about $15-$20 a week which he feels is no real problem and if the weather is bad he just stays with friends in Pittsburg. However, Minton said that the com- muter does sometimes face a few inconveniences. Finding parking spaces and not having anywhere to put their books are the types of things commuters complain about ' she said. Minton added that there does not seem to be a distance in relationships be- tween commuters and the local residents of PSU. Many commuters get just as involved in campus activities as do local residents, either through their department of major or other organizations, she said, —by Joanne Richter AFTER A ROUGH day of classes, Pittsburg sophomore, Sherri Lindsay, heads for a long journey home, —photo by Duane Smith MANY COMMUTING STUDENTS have Brown Zone ermits, which allow them to park in the stadium lot ehind the library, —photo by Duane Smith Commuting living . f Trying to economize Modes of travel are of personal preference he different modes of transportation used by Pittsburg State University stu- dents seem to depend upon three ma- jor factors—affordability, the distance to and from campus and weather con- ditions. The majority of students live near campus and choose their living accom- modations for the year based on how they will get to and from school every- day. Mick Lindsay, Pittsburg graduate stu- dent, finds that his bicycle is sufficient transportation all year round. I have absolutely no worry at all about whether or not I'm going to find a parking place, Lindsay said. I live about a mile from school and riding a bike eliminates gasoline expense. Even though sometimes it's difficult to bear the winter weather and hazar- dous road situations, Lidsay said it's worth it in the long run. Sometimes it can be real uncomfor- table riding in rain, sleet and snow and there are always a few incondierate motorists who like to use bicycle riders for target practice, but when you can't afford a car, you choices are limited. Besides, more often than not, it's the only chance at exercise I get, he said. Richard Nepote, Frontenac senior, chooses to drive to school even though he said he does live close enough to campus to walk. Usually, my main concern is getting to school on time so driving is quicker but, then again, parking proves to be a problem, he said. Many times Nepote said he has to park in the Brown Zone behind the stadium and walk to his classes. I don't have a sticker that allows me to park any closer to where I need to go, but a lot of people have the same problem. It's not bad really when you consider the size of PSU's campus as compared to some larger universities. It's not really far from any of the buildings, he said. Karen Gardner, Chetopa freshman, also takes advantage of a small campus. She lives on campus in the dorms but saves the time it takes walking to and from classes during the day by riding her skateboard. I ride my board mainly because it's fun and it gives me a lot of good exercise—it's good for the legs. 1 haven't hit anyone yet, but people do sometimes get scared when they see me coming. The bad thing about it is that by trying to get out of my way they get in my way, so it can be dangerous, she said. Gardner not only rides the board outside but inside as well—with the ex- ception of going up and down stairs. Nobody has ever asked me not to do it and sometimes people even ask where it is if I don't have it with me. I work for the newspaper and my beat is in Russ Hall. So, with the exception of staircases, it helps me get around a little quicker, she said. Dr. Roger Hadley, assistant professor of speech and theater, finds that his motorcycle gets him where he has to go. It's interesting to ride a cycle because you can always take different routes and see different things. It kind of adds something to the routine of go- ing to and from school everyday, he said. I usually only drive the cycle as the weather permits because when it gets cold you're usually riding into a pretty stiff breeze. I also walk occasionally and then there's always the car, but the cy- cle just provides a fun and enjoyable alternative, Dr. Hadley said.—by Jae- que Porter THE SCHOOL BUS proves to be a convenient form of transportation as it makes its regularly scheduled stops everyday between the Science Annex, Weede Physical Education Building and Yates Hall.

The fourth annual Apefest began on a Friday, the 22nd day of April and con- tinued through the 24th. According to Sandy Olsen-Loy, Student Union program director, the Apefest is an op- portunity for the students of PSU to celebrate the end of another school year and to honor the graduating seniors. The weekend kicked off with a feast fit for any gorilla fan thanks to the University's ARA Food Service. Conducted out at the College Lake, students were able to choose from gril- led hamburgers, hotdogs, shaved barbequed beef, chips, baked beans and a lot more. While enjoying the meal, students were entertained with a live performance by joe Scimeca. A new addition to the Apefest celebration this year was the addition of a Country D.J. Night and a Rock and Roll D.J. Night held on Friday and Saturday nights, respectively. Spon- sored by the SUB Concert and Dance Committee, the dances were held from 8 p.m. until midnight and offered such activities as give-aways by Busch Beer, penny-a-minute pool, and video games. The committee is considering spon- soring regular dances this fall based on the success of those dances. There were a number of sporting ac- tivities offered for both PSU students and out-of-towners. The Kansas Association of Nursing Students sponsored a Walk America ac- tivity. By joining in the 20 mile walk and collecting individual sponsors, students could contribute to the March of Dimes. Another activity which offered action and a good deal of fun was the Four- State Frisbee International sponsored Ape Fest Entertainment by the PSU Frisbee Club. A combina- tion of soccer and football, played with a frisbee, the contest drew participants from all over the four-state area. Disc golf and a free-style demonstration were also presented. Played on the President's field the ac- tivities proved exciting not only for the contestants but also for the observers. Following the day's fun was a Frisbee Club party. The military also got their spot in the limelight with their PSU-ROTC Gorilla Run. Leaving from Weede Gymnasium at 9:30 a.m., participants ran 10 kilometers. To keep the competition fairly even, there were a variety of age categories. Everyone was a winner with RAIN D1DNT SEEM TO hamper Apefest activities too much last spring as the weekend picnic was moved to Gibson Dining Hall.

Probably the one of the most fun events for all was sponsored by the Apefest Committee for Saturday after- noon. The Scramble Golf Tournament was open to anyone an everyone. The top three finishers were awarded prizes and there was even a prize for the best 'Duff for the golfer who had more will than skill. An award ceremony was held Saturday evening at the Four Oaks Golf Course Clubhouse to honor the dedicated participants. One of the weekend's highlights was the Society of Automotive Engineers' 7th Annual Car, Truck, and Cycle Show. This event, held on Sunday, was actual- ly a good deal more prestigious than many students realize. A lot of people feel that this is the largest car show in the four-state area, said Greg Base, Kingman senior.

At the first show, we had only six entries, Base said. In the last two years we have had approximately 130 entries. The purpose of the show is to raise money for the club's yearly expenses, Base added. The SAE usually takes six field trips per year and sponsors other activities for their members throughout each semester. This year, the SAE is in the continued on page 36 ______Ape Fest q p Entertainment JJ A pe fest continued from page 35 process of setting up a scholarship. The revenue generated from the show is important for the funding of our organization ' Base said. The SAE is a national organization and has several parent divisions located across the country with the parent divi- sion of PSU's chapter located in Kansas City. Base said that a new factor of the club this year has been its recognition as a branch student chapter of the SAE, whereas previously they were only an unofficial student organization. To keep up with its enormous growth over the years, the show has eleven dif- ferent classes to accomodate for a variety of vehicles. The classes range from 'antique' for cars, to classes for trucks and motorcycles. There are three trophies awarded to winners in each of the 11 divisions. The show is an opportunity for car, truck and cycle lovers and prospective buyers and sellers to have a field day. Judges for the event are carefully chosen by the $AE from as far away as Kansas City. We have nine judges ' Base said. Usually we try to find older people who have acquired a knowledge of the vehicles represented at the show. This year we have three judges from the Kansas City area and six judges from Pittsburg. Rain or shine, the event is an all-day affair. Last year holding the show on the oval was difficult due to all the rain, Base said. The SAE also provided activities for those who weren't participating in the show. Refreshments were available, a T-shirt sale was conducted and a $300 set of radial tires were raffled off. However, as impressive as the SAE's Car, Truck, and Cycle Show was, it wasn't the only event scheduled for the final day of Apefest. The Sigma Chi house set up the nets on the west side of Russ Hall for a vol- leyball tourney. And for those who weren't car enthusiasts and had little or no interest in volleyball, Sigma Chi also sponsored a steak feed.

One of the favorites of campus par- ties is the 'kegger These vary from those at the pits to private homes. Stu- dents all agree on one thing—the more beer and the more friends, the better the party! Another all time favorite is the TGIF, Thank God It's Friday, party. Starting at Hollywood's at 10 a.m. with 10 cent draws, and then moving to other favorite locations, McCarthy's, Character's, and the Tower Ballroom. McCarthy's is our favorite place. There seems to be an older crowd there and an atmosphere that goes along well with drinking and talking with your friends, said Julie Rewerts, Edmond, Okla., junior. Hollywood's is a good place to hit between classes with your friends, es- pecially on Friday's when they have 10 cent draws. It's a good way to start your weekend, said Vance Lewis, Fort Scott junior. Royal's stadium is another one my favorite places to party, commented Lewis. Not only do you have the party once you get there, you have the road trip party all the way up and back, ex- plained Lewis. Royal's stadium may be a favorite place to party, but Brandenburg Stadium was off limits for alcohol the 1982 fall semester. The Athletic Policy Committee reviewed the Beer in Brandenburg Stadium poiicies of 1971 and 1975 due to the amount of unruly behavior by rty with you guys! the old school routine students in the stands at last semester's football games ' said Dr. Ray Baird, vice-president of the administration and chairman of the committee. The new policy stated that there be no cereal malt beverages, alcoholic beverages or containers of any kind al- lowed at any Pittsburg State University athletic event, excluding those beverages sold by University authorized concessionares. Even with this change in the policy, I think the problem will still exist to some extent, however, the new policy will enable us to better identify unruly, ir- responsible individuals and provide us with a rule to refer back to, said Dr. Bill Dickey, director of athletics and member of the committee. But the new rule did not slow down partying at PSU, students just looked for new locations. The drive-in is another favorite sum- mertime party location. We enjoy row parties. You get a big group of friends together, park on the last couple of rows and bring coolers. It's one of our favorites, said Rewerts. We always look forward to spring so we can go the the drive-in for our row parties. We usually fill the coolers with 'Little Mickeys' and have a good time, said Mike Collar, Pittsburg junior. Just sitting, drinking, and socializing isn't always enough, so students invent and bring drinking games into the party scene. Flipping quarters is one of the most popular drinking games on campus. There are several variations of the game, but they generally follow the same lines. The main objective is to flip a quarter into another persons beer or drink. If you succeed, that person has to 'chug' their beer or drink. We use to use bottlecaps instead of quarters for flipping, it was cheaper. It was a good way to pick on a certain person to get them drunk, explained Steve Bradshaw, Galena senior. Another popular drinking game is placing a plastic cup in a pitcher that has been partially emptied into other glasses. Then in turn, each individual pours some of their beer into the beer cup in the pitcher. The first person to pour the fatal shot that sinks the cup, then must chug the full cup of beer. Timing is always an important part of anything, but with partying it's a dif- ferent story. Anytime is a good time for a party, Bradshaw said. One good party time, especially for the Collegio staff, is Thursday nights — during Magnum, PJ. With the grow- ing popularity of Thomas Magnum, stu- dents find that this is a good reason to gather and socialize, while wearing Hawaiian shirts and 'Magnum' shorts. During the winter, it provided an escape. We could dress up in our Hawaiian shirts and shorts, and drink beer and pretend that we were there with Magnum, where it was warm, ex- plained Burl Powell, Granby, Mo., senior and Collegio editor. Fraternity parties are as popular as ever. They range from sponsoring con- certs at the Tower Ballroom to house parties. continued on page 40 THE MOST COMMON night spot for the Pittsburg State University campus is Hollywood's, located directly across Broadway from Russ Hall.

We have the girls dress up as Playboy bunnies and the guys dress up in tuxedos. It's just a wild party. We also have run-outs with each of the sororities every semester. We try to have one run-out with each of the sororities each semester, Collar ad- ded Tlieme parties are a favorite of the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity, explained Joe Scimeca, Atchison junior and TKE social chairman, We have had Caddyshack, Animal House and Toga parties, to just mention a few, Scimeca said. Favorite drinks at parties vary from beer to 'Cowboy Kool-Aid a TKE favorite, to 'Hairy Buffalos the Sigma Chi's favorite. Road trips are a fraternity favorite, usually to other chapters at different campuses. We take our pledges every year on Sneak trips. This year we went to Fayet- teville, Ark. It's always a good time, Collar explained. When discussing partying, we can't forget the dorm parties. Groups of stu- dents gather on their respective floors and socialize and become better ac- quainted with their cell mates for the year. During the summer, parties at the pits become increasingly popular. Swimming, sunning, barbecueing and drinking beer all seem to go hand in hand. To get students prepared for sum- mer, is the all time favorite—spring break. This gives the student the perfect break from studies and the op- portunity to travel and party. From the beaches of Galveston and I Padre Island in Texas to the skiing slopes in Colorado, students find party- ing over spring break a highlight of their college education experience. Road trip parties also provide a diver- sion to classes and studying. The trips can be local or to far away places, but are always for the same purpose—to party.—by Melinda Oberhelman MEMBERS OF THE AUDIENCE that attended the Plain Jane concert at the Tower Ballroom last fall participate in one of the bands rituals in which the lead singer yells out a question and the crowd responds with this answer. — photo by Brett Roberts WEARING HIS FAVORITE SHIRT is Steve Horn, Princeton freshman.

These terms are familiar to many college students and, for some, these new fads govern not only the clothes they wear, but also the music they listen to and their lifestyles. Fashions change over the years and often the 'newest' thing is actually only a repetition of an earlier fad. This is what happened to the mini-skirt. Popular in the 60s and early 70s, this skimpy skirt is making a comeback. Worn casual with a T-shirt or with a nice blouse for a more formal occasion, the mini-skirt is quite versatile. However, some students have mixed opinions regarding this revitalized fad. I love the mini-skirt ' said Columbus sophomore, Piper Conrad. I have a white cotton Christian Dior. ...new wave dressing is on the rise and it is leaving the reppy look ehind. Janis Ashley, Chanute sophomore, felt differently. I think the mini-skirt is just a passing fad. As for wearing one myself, no way! There are still a number of devoted Izod and Polo lovers on campus and the moccasins and top-siders which complete the look of the true prep are still popular. However, prep which once was seen as a total way of life for many college students, seems to be slipping in prestige. I think this look will always be found to some extent on college campuses, THE LAYERED LOOK continued into spring this year. Jane Schmickle, Pittsburg sophomore, prefers to wear a pullover top and plaid pleated shorts while Shirley Pitts, Paola sophomore, wears the newly popular color of magenta. Bright colors, such as turquoise, red and jade were also among dressing favorites, —photo by Jo Black says Conrad. However, I don't think that prep is necessarily 'the' look anymore. That seems to be the opinion of many fashionable Pittsburg State University students. Although the devoted prep- pies will probably live on indefinitely, a lot of students are indulging with the newer trends. Lance Petrie, Douglas senior, satd 'l think new wave dressing is on the rise and it is leaving the preppy look behind. What makes up a new wave wardrobe? Petrie had his own ideas about that. I feel comfortable dressed in a 1- shirt and my Lee jeans with a Peter's jacket and tie to accentuate the look, he said. Fads and Fashions Entertainment Petrie also feels that the high-priced designer jeans no longer have a place in the world of fashion. On college campuses where the pulse of fashion seems to center around blue jeans, designer jeans do appear to be lagging a bit behind the old favorites, Lee and Levis, in pop- ularity. Blue jeans have gone through many changes over the years but there has always been a place for jeans in the newest fashion. Just as Petrie combines his Lee jeans within a new wave look, Mike Lee, Cof- feyville junior, considering himself somewhat of a prep, wears his oxford and polo shirts with a pair of Levis 501s. The same principle holds true for Ashley who, although occasionaly suc- cumbing to a button-down or an Izod, doesn't think of herself as either a new wave dresser or a prep. 1 feel most comfortable in loose sweaters, Nikes, and my faithful Levis ' she said. A new look for men has been seen on campus this year. Hair is being worn longer again, women aren't the only ones with pierced ears, and popular colors for the fashionable man even in- clude pink! I think a guy can look really good in lighter colors like lavender or pink, said Conrad. “If, she stresses, he is pretty masculine-looking. Men and earrings—the combinations in the past has been looked upon negatively. Now, nice, clean-cut look- ing college boys are popping up everywhere sporting one earring or two. Where it was once thought that a man wearing an earring was actually advertising a sexual preference, today the earring is becoming just another fun fad. Some women have a hard time ad- justing however. I got used to the hair, but not the earrings, Ashley emphasizes. As the world of designers and fashion-hungry shoppers progresses, clothes are becoming something far more important than just a means of keeping out the cold. They reflect a personality and a lifestyle. I think you can really tell a lot about a person by the kinds of clothes that they wear, Lee said. People tend to choose colors and designs that they feel are most attrac- tive for them. Consequently, if a person feels attractive, they feel better about themselves and have a more positive outlook on life. ...you can real- ly tell a lot about a person by the kinds of clothes that they wear. According to Phyllis Handshy, an employee in the Junior's Department at Newman's on the Mall, most clothing colors for spring and summer have turned more toward the bright pinks and turquoise colors. As far as what is the style, the mini shorts and skirts are one of the big fashions, Handshy said. She added that most of the shorts and skirts are of big plaid or striped prints and are often accented with big bright earrings and beads. As for jeans, Handshy said she felt as if most people were getting away from the designer types and returning to the famous stand-bys of Levi's and Lees. BRIGHT COLORED COORDINATES are in style on un- iversity campuses across the country.

Tom Thomas, owner or Thomas and Son, said turquoise Top- siders and peg-legged denims are also in style tnis season, —photo by Jo Black Handshy added that a lot of people think they're more comfortable and can be worn with almost any other style of clothing. Fashions also follow the seasons. Colors such as bright greens, reds, and yellows are most popular during the spring and summer seasons, promoting a carefree, young attitude while more sedate colors like brown, gray and black are seen a lot in the fall and winter months. It's not whether you win or lose, but how you look while doing it. Leisure- wear is one area where fashion has real- ly changed over the years. Sweats, or a 'sweatsuit,' as some prefer to call it, is the popular outfit for anything from staying home to watch TV, to playing a set of tennis. However, not just any old sweatsuit will do anymore. No longer are the gray baggy bottoms and faded T-shirts ac- ceptable on or off the court. No, today the dictatorship of fashion continued on page 44 Fads and Fashions Entertainment Fashions continued from page 43 even rules the sports arena. Names such as Ocean Pacific, Gloria Vander- bilt, and Calvin Klein are showing up in all areas of sporting events. But with all the fads that come and go and those that continue to linger long after the fervor has died down, there are still those students who stick to their own individual style. Petrie said that he feels he is an 'eclectic' dresser. I try to combine the best of all possi- ble fashions, he said. , ...times have changed and so many fads have come and gone that anything is acceptable. He explained that while his style of dress embodies some prep and some new wave, he has his own idea of what is fashionable. I think my own tastes in clothes are usually five to six years ahead, he said. There are others who refuse to give in to the new trends simply because they are happy with the familiar look that is comfortable to them. I won't wear a two-piece bathing suit, said Ashley, just because I think that a one-piece is much more flatter- ing to the figure. Bridget Meyers, Fort Scott sophomore, feels that present-day fashion is actually whatever an in- dividual wants it to be. I think times have changed and so many fads have come and gone that anything is acceptable. If it's clean and worn in good taste, it's fashion, she said.—by Carey Gillam THIS INTERESTING DRESS is popular on college cam- puses across the nation.

There are a number of hot spots in the Pittsburg community that feature smaller bands oriented to the college population. Among them are Characters, McCarthy's Pub, The Waterhole, Whiskey River and the Tower Ballroom. Sky, which has been featured many times at McCarthy's Pub and the Tower Ballroom, has been together only since last February. Most of their music is popular rock but they do write and compose some of their own. According to Lisa Morrison, Girard freshman and Sky's lead female vocalist, the band not only plays at local bars but school functions and benefits. We did a benefit dance for the peo- ple in Frontenac after the tornado hit last spring. All the proceeds went toward the victims, Morrison said. In the Kansas City area we will be doing high school proms, and perform- ing for some of the local bars. According to Steve Mahnken, Sky's sound technician, the band has a somewhat higher level of technology than most of the bands in this area. Our equipment is a little more futuristic than most bands around here. Most of the music we play is considered computerized. The drums are run through the computer and the bass is run through the synthesizer, Mahnken said. However, this doesn't mean that the entire band is computerized. We still have a live drummer, guitarists, pianist- keyboards, he added. Mantra, which is made up of local musicians mostly from around the Pitt- sburg community, plays many weekends either at Pittsburg bars or within the surrounding area. Their style consists mainly of popular rock although they do add a touch of their own charisma to the spirit of music. According to Liz Martino, Pittsburg senior and the band's lead singer, Mantra underwent minor reorganiza- tion in July of 1982 due to some band members leaving, so they combined with another area band, Hijinx, to form a new act still under the Mantra name.

Each features popular rock along with many songs they have written and composed themselves. As for Coffeehouse performances, put on by the Student Union Board and the Student Union Programming Of- fice, the planning and preparations are a iittle more extensive and com- plicated. According to Sandy Loy, programm- ing director, it's often times hard to know what students are going to like or what they want to hear. Our entertainment selection is decided upon according to the needs of students—but knowing what those needs are isn't always so easy to find out. So, in order to entertain students as best we can we select a wide variety of talent, Loy said. PSU belongs to two organizations that aid the Programming Office and SUB in scheduling various musical events—the National Association of Campus Activities and the Association of College Unions International, continued on page 4ft Concerts a Entertainment TV Concerts continued from page 47 Schools across the entire nation, agencies, artists and promoters belong to these organizations ' Loy said. Es- sentially what we all do is buy shows. Loy added that a lot of input con- cerning the content of the acts and the talent available is obtained various reports that are published by organizational members and the com- munication of opinions between various schools. We also have the opportunity to send delegates from SUB to coo- kirk HENDERSON AND Doug Pinnick, guitarists for The Edge, an area band, play Purple Haze ' a classic Jimmi Hendrix tune.

These conferences consist of ses- sions on such things as planning, set-up and promotion of events. Artists on the circuit also have showcases set up in which they perform for about 20 minutes so that the delegates can get somewhat of an idea of what the artists have to offer ' she said. For Coffeehouse performances, Loy said that the office usually tries to schedule not only a variety of acts and music types, but they also try to center on local entertainment. In working with other schools in the area, we can all get an idea of who is going to be in the area and then take advantage of the convenience ' she said. Student Union performances are also scheduled at various times throughout the day and aren't limited only to even- ing performances. Loy said this type of scheduling enable commuters and those people that are only on campus at certain times of the day to also enjoy the activities. As for actually conducting events, the Programming Office and SUB handle and coordinate every aspect. We take care of all production, lighting, sets—everything. It not only gives the students something to do that is fun and that they enjoy, but they are also learning a lot—much of which they may be able to use later on in their careers. The experience it offers is definitely a big advantage, Loy said.— by Jacque Porter THE MEMES, a satirical comedy group based in San Fran- cisco, invaded Pittsburg State University with skits and commercial take-offs last November to a crowd of about 75 in the Kelce Auditorium, —photo by Jo Black ________Concerts yiQ Entertainment i 'Goodbye and Farewell The war is over, MASH 4077th returns home T he Korean War has once again come to an end. But, along with it has also come the end of what has established itself as almost an American institution—the television series MASH. Their dreams finally came true with the final episode last February. The members of the Medical Army Surgical Hospital 4077th were going home. According to the February 28th issue of Newsweek, the final showing at- tracted a global audience of over 200 million viewers. Pittsburg State University students were among the many that celebrated the event with style by dressing up as characters of the series and gathering around television sets with friends to catch every suspenseful, intense and tear-jerking moment. Many students chose to bid their farewells together with friends. The Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity, along with the Crescent Club, the fraternity's Little Sisters, threw a MASH Bash at their house with the only re- quirement being that you had to dress up in honor of the event to be admit- ted. According to Wade Taylor, Sunrise Beach, Mo., junior and a member of the fraternity, about 40-45 people at- tended the party. The costumes were great. I don't have a clue as to where some of those people came up with the clothes they wore, Taylor said. There was an abundance of Hawkeyes, Klingers, nurses and enlisted men roaming the house throughout the evening. Fatigues, crutches and bandages were also a big part of the hilariously amusing night- time fun. People really decked themselves out, Taylor said. Those that came as Hawkeye had the robe, hat, boots—the works. Klinger also showed in a variety of stylish dresses—all of which fit suprisingly well.

As far as being able to watch the show and hear it as well with that many people in the same living room, Taylor said that amazingly enough everyone was fairly quiet except, of course, when something funny was said. But, during the commercials, everyone went berserk. Everyone really had a great time, he said. Although everyone enjoyed the flick, there were some long faces occasional- iy- There was a little bit of emotion shown by our audience because the show itself was that way, Taylor said. There were a lot of avid fans watching and we all hated to see everybody say goodbye even though it was great in a way.

But now, all that has changed with the opening of the new Pittsburg Mall Cinema. According to Russ Cardin, Mall Cinema manager, the idea for the Dickinson four-theater Cinema was formulated in 1967. However, it took until December 17th of 1982 to get the facility opened. The Mall Cinema is proving to be a great advantage to many PSU students. Now I don't have to drive to Joplin to see a good show, said Matt Galemore, Chanute junior. It is true that with the addition of the four theaters there will be a much wider selection of movies to choose from. THE FOX THEATER, 407 north Broadway stands idle.

The admission prices are all the same and the time schedules are also iden- tical. Before the opening of the Cinema, the Fox offered a prime time showing two nights a week. However, now there1 is apprime time showing every night in accordance with the Mall Cinema's prime time schedule. This is an advan- tage to the students who want to see a good movie but are short on cash. THE GRAND OPENING of the four-theater Cinema last December brought hundreds to see Academy Award- nominated Tootsie and Jim Henson's Dark Crystal at the Pittsburg Mall Shopping Center, —photo by Jo Black Another advantage for students is the discount cards offered by Dickinson Theaters. These cards can be obtained by students showing their University identification cards and paying 50 cents at the theater. Thereafter, the student receives a 50 cent discount everytime he goes to a Dickinson Theater. Cardin said that from what he has seen, a large number of the students take advantage of the cards, I have one ' said Jenny Steele, Pittsburg sophomore. It can save you some money if you go to the show a lot. The attractiveness of the Mall Cinema extends beyond its economic advantages. There are several modern features to the new theaters. One is equipped for the showing of three- dimensional movies, and although none have been scheduled as yet, Cardin explained that there are several planned for the future. Another exceptional feature of the new cinema is the addition of a Dolby stereo system. Cardin said he felt that this feature added more enjoyment to movie viewing. The greatest advantage of the new Cinema may be its location. Everyone agrees that it is no fun standing in lines, especially if it is in 20 degree weather or pouring rain. Cardin said that he feels it is for this reason that a number of elderly people enjoy coming to the Cinema. They are inside where it's warm and they can sit down. Escaping the elements is only one of the many factors that makes the Mall Cinema attractive to young and old alike. As Cardin says, It's just a much more comfortable atmosphere for everyone. —by Carey Gillam Entertainment r Movies-Theaters Time for the munchies Local restaurants satisfy student appetites Wha, are you hungry for when you don't know what you're hungry for? Tacos are great. Pizza sounds good, too. Seafood is a favorite and there is always the traditional hamburger. These seem to be a few of the opi- nions of many students at Pittsburg State University. Because Pittsburg has such a wide variety of eating places, it's difficult to determine a favorite. However, Taco Bell is a name often spoken by hungry students after the bars close. Aside from the reasonable prices, cleanliness, and the casual at- mosphere of Taco Bell, one of the main reasons for its popularity is due to the restaurant's late hours. Sunday through Thursday Taco Bell is open until 2 a.m. Weekend hours are extended until 3 a.m. to provide for the late-night partiers. But, late at night isn't the only time Taco Bell is busy. Manager Lee Daniel said, The dinner hours, between 5 and 8 p.m., are really rushed, and the lunch hour is too, of course. But we get a lot of business when the kids from the bars. Another reason for Taco Bell's suc- cess has to be credited to its location. Located at 1103 $. Broadway, only a few blocks from the campus, this restaurant is easily accessible for those students who don't have a car or those who just MAZZIO'S, ONE OF of the newest pizza places in town, is one of the eating establishments of Pittsburg at which many PSU students can be found, especially during the noon and supper hours, —photo by |o Black feel like walking, I feel we have an excellent location ' said Daniel.

According to Gene Gilbert, manager, Mazzio's doesn't get much business from college students. The lunch and dinner hours are usually crowded, but Gilbert said the evenings are always slow.

Tom Johnson, manager, said Sonic is the busiest between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. but business is pretty steady all day. It's great for the people who just want a Coke or something, he said. Instead of having to wait in a line somewhere, they can just pull in and order. Johnson also said that even though Sonic is across town from PSU, he feels they have a pretty good location. We're right here on a main road ' he said, Dillons and Wal-Mart are across the street so Sonic is convenient for shoppers and errand-runners. We are also close to Characters and the Tower, he said. Even though Sonic closes when most of the bars do, Johnson said they still get a lot of late-night business. Unfor- tunately, Sonic is also a popular place for vandalism, Johnson said there had been a great deal of vandalism after closing hours, Now we leave the canopy lights on all night, Johnson said. That seems to have helped. Another favorite on the north end of town is the seafood lover's place, Long John Silver's.

Homework fills up most of my time but, I get so caught up in my soaps sometimes that I really hate to miss them. Some students find that with nothing else to do, talking on the phone can sometimes prove to be fun. When we can't think of anything better to do, my roommate and I play on the phone. It's our favorite pastime to call boys, said Ronda Brown, Bon- ner Springs senior. In the winter, our house gets really cold, because we try to keep our thermostat at 60 degrees. So, we sit on the heater and call up guys. We each have our own extention, so we can both listen at the same time. When we call, we ask them what they are having for dinner. Surprisingly enough we do get a lot of dinner in- vitations! laughed Toni Ala, LaCygne junior and Brown's roommate. Bumper pool is another way in which we spend our spare time, Ala said. We either invite some people over and drink some beer or it's just us. When we first brought the bumper pool table down, I told Toni that the object of the game was to hop the balls straight over the center bumpers. If you've ever played bumper pool you know this isn't an easy task. Conse- quently, I won most of the games until Toni figured it out, Brown said. The bumper pool table also comes in handy.

This also helps me to keep up on the top songs, said Frederick. My radio alarm goes off at 7 a.m. so I begin almost everyday with some type of music. At the end of the day I like to wind down with relaxing music before I go to sleep, he added. On weekends, barbecueing is an other means of getting friends together for a relaxing time.

Doing crafts at home is something that takes a little bit of skill, but also can be fun if you knovy what you are doing. I do calligraphy, counted-cross stitch and write ' said Amy Eisele, Fort Scott freshman. For calligraphy, all you need is special pen and a manual on how to do it. You can find things in stores that are already calligraphfied that cost a lot. I can do it for free. Most of things that I calligraphed are quotes that come from magazines like Reader Digest. I've been doing it since Christmas and it only costs between $2 and $25 depending on the set you use ' said Eisele. I like to have some friends over to bar- becue steaks ' For counted-cross stitch you need a book, a skein of yarn, material, and a hoop. Counted-cross stitch is something fun that doesn't take a lot of time. People like it and it is something you can say that you made with your own hands to give to people for gifts. I've been doing counted-cross stitch for about two years and it's even less expensive than calligraphy ' said Eisele. I also write poems and stories, Eisele said. The stories are about horses, girls and the men that they fall in love with. The story that I'm working on now I'm going to send to Redbook If it should happen to win the contest, they'll pay me $2,000, which would really help with college costs.

There are banquet facilities for up to 600 people in the PSU Union available for use by students, faculty, administra- tion and alumni. “Approximately 20 years ago a policy on limiting banquets to only campus related activities and the campus com- munity was initiated. It makes the Union more accessable to the students for their individual activities ' Overman said. The food service offers 10 main entree selections, ranging from fried chicken to prime rib or broiled whole lobster. Also available is a wide variety of accompaniments, including ap- petizers, salads, vegetables and dessert. ...limiting banquets makes the Union more accessible to the students for their individual activities. “We serve approximately 225 ban- quets per year for University related ac- tivities ' Overman added. In addition to the entree selections. the service offers a buffet, which in- cludes a breakfast buffet, inexpensive menus, picnics and refreshment selec- tions. All food and refreshments served in the Student Union, or on campus, must be furnished by the Student Union Food Service Department, unless special arrangements are made with the Union director, according to Overman. A contract between the ARA, a professional food service company, and the Student Union Food Service Department holds the ARA responsible for all food preparation and serving in all areas of the food service depart- ment. “The PSU food service sets all the standards and specifications for the ARA to follow, the ARA just does the work, Overman explained.

We try to provide the best food ser- vice to the students for the least possi- ble price, Overman said. New services, such as a Deli, luncheon specials, and a salad bar, are being offered to students through the Student Union food service. The addition of luncheon specials in the spring semester has made it affor- dable for students and faculty to have a complete meal, with a main course, potatoes, vegetable, and roll, at an af- fordable price. Dale McAtee, Parsons graduate stu- dent, explains, I generally eat at the cafeteria in the Union and the addition of the specials offers good food at a really good price. We are trying to get more volume through the Union. Utilities raise ap- proximately $22,000 per year, and we need the added volume so that we don't have to raise prices to the students, Overman said. An average of 200 to 225 students are served daily in the Student Union Cafeteria, with 1,500 to 1,600 being served in the Gorilla Grill and Gorilla Den. Approximately 700 are served in the Gibson Dining Hall, according to Overman. He added that approximately 100 stu- dents are employed by the food service for banquet events. Designed for residence hall students, the Gibson Dining Hall program is the result of feedback from the students to the service. It is designed to comple- ment the students' college life by providing a large variety of food at a low cost and a pleasant atmosphere where the student can relax with friends. The main concern of the food ser- vice department is to keep the service operating, keep it vital, and to have menus that appeal to the students, said Overman. —by Melinda Oberhelman CASHIER DIANN GROVER, Derby senior, is employed part- time by the ARA Food Service in the Student Union cafeteria.

Unless you're among that very rare breed of students who are independently wealthy, an extra job is one of the only ways of making ends meet. Approximately 1,000 students are employed by Pittsburg State University each year. The jobs range from secretaries and clerk-typists to food ser- vice workers and referees. These jobs are handled through the Student Employment Office, a branch of the Career Planning and Placement Office, in Russ Hall. With the part-time student employees, Pittsburg State University is the largest employer in Pittsburg, said Dr. Richard Hay, dean of the Kelce School of Business and Economics. Dr. Hay said he felt that student employment not only played a major LOOKING OVER BUDGET figures with University Presi- dent James Appleberry is Kelly Kholes, Des Moines, Iowa, senior. Kholes is employed as one of two student assistants to the president working a minimum of 20 hours per week, —photo by Jo Black role in the work force of the campus and the city, but also in the economic environment of Pittsburg. Working students tend to spend 100 percent of their income in Pittsburg. Therefore, the employed student pop- ulation at the University makes a major contribution to the economic condi- tions both of the University and the city itself. The city is fortunate to have such a work force, Dr. Hay said. According to the regulations of the Student Employment Office, the stu- dent work force serves three purposes on campus. It provides students with an opportunity to help finance their col- lege education, an opportunity to gain valuable work experience and it sup- plies the University with a work force. Dan Brown, Pittsburg senior and stu- dent employment officer, said he felt student employment played a major role in college life at PSU. With the economy the way it is, a lot of students couldn't afford to go to school if it weren't for their campus jobs, he said. Brown said that all campus employ- ment is handled through his office. At the first of each semester we send out a campus mailing to all the departments asking them what posi- tions they have open and what the job requirements are. Then we match the jobs to the student employment cards we have on file, he said. He added that most vacancies open up at the beginning of the semester and therefore that is the best time to put in an application. When a student arrives on campus, they should go to the placement office and fill out a student employment ap- plication card. The card requires the hours they are available for work, their work experience, name, phone, major and whether or not they are available for work-study. According to Brown, there are two funds for campus employment—the regular state funds and College Work- Study funds.

Companies want graduates who have given serious thought to their career plans. For most students, part-time college jobs not only give them some extra bucks ' but also the advantage they need after graduation. Many Pittsburg State University stu- dents find the campus climate an ex- cellent place for experience. However, many students have branched out into the Pittsburg com- munity's work force. The ARA food services is one of the largest employers on campus and hires students for everything from set- ting up banquets to serving food. Don Miller, Atchison sophomore, has worked for the food service for two years. He works 14 hours a week, in the dish room and cleaning the dining hall. I know it sounds like a dirty job, but it helps pay the bills. It doesn't pertain to my major at all and I don't learn a lot from the job but I couldn't go to school without it, he said. One of the few administrative per- sonnel that doesn't have a full-time secretary is Equal Opportunity Employment Compliance Officer Teresa Massa. Massa has two part-time student secretaries that share the job. Massa said that having two part- time secretaries presents no problem and really turns out to be an advan- tage. My two student secretaries are very proficient and very professional in the office. Both get experience working under stress and they also get a chance to deal with the ad- ministrative branch of the University, she said. Through these dealings they get a chance to see first hand how the University is run. Massa said she feels that working at the University improves the com- muication skills of students. Ac- cording to her, student workers help form the basis for the organizational structure of the total educational system. Aside from finding students employment on campus, the Student Employment Office also acts as a referral agency and sends students out for personal interviews with com- munity employers where openings exist. Many Pittsburg businesses contact the employment office when looking for extra help, according to Dan Brown, Pittsburg senior and student employment officer. The larger chain stores in Pittsburg hire many students as part-time and seasonal help. According to Wal-Mart managers, anywhere from 10 to 15 personnel are hired for the Christmas rush and of that number a large percentage are PSU students. On the Mall, the J.C. Penny store hires many students part-time and many of the store's personnel feel that college students make excellent clerks. We employ college students year round and most of them work out real well, said Roger Diebolt, ).C. Penny manager. Diebolt added that the store employs between 10 and 12 PSU stu- dents during busy times of the year which accounts for about 20 percent of their total number of employees. Many of the fast food restuarants in Pittsburg hire students to work part- time. Ann Hippensteel, Pittsburg freshman, works at Kentucky Fried Chicken. Hippensteel says she took the job mainly for extra money. It's really interesting working an eight-hour shift after going to school all day. Adults don't understand what it's like. They work their eight-hour shifts and go home. It's quite a dif- ferent story when you have to go to school all day and then work. It makes for a very tiring and very interesting evening, Hippensteel said. Aside from the long hours students must put in to keep up with school and a job, most feel that the ex- perience and money they gain from working is well worth the time. And, since employment has been, and always will be, an important part of campus life and, as the economy tightens, many more students are be- ing forced to look for part-time work to finance their higher education.—by Cindy Cowan Student Offices Fmnlnvmpnt Employment continued from page 63 Work-Study Program is based on finan- cial need, with reference given to stu- dents from lower-income families.

However, PSU does not automatically offer jobs to work-study qualified stu- dents. Those who are most qualified get the job. We encourage students to put down all the work experience they have ' he added. Sometimes someone will call wanting a babysitter and if a student who has done that type of work puts it down on their employment card then they are called for an appoint- ment. No type of experience is too menial. According to PSU employment regulations, in order to qualify for on- campus employment, undergraduate students must carry 12 or more hours during the regular academic year and 4 or more hours during the summer ses- sion. Graduate students must carry 9 or more hours during the regular academic year and 4 or more hours during the summer session. Vocational students must carry 24 or more clock hours during the regular school year and 8 or more clock hours during the summer session. Students may work a maximum of 20 hours per week during the time school is in session, but they are permitted to work up to 40 hours during vacations, according to the regulations.

The present rate of pay for all stu- dents is $3.35 per hour. This applies to regular and work-study employment. It may be possible for students who have paid full fees during the spring semester and plan to enroll for the fall semester to work 40 hours per week during the summer session, if they are not enrolled. Two of the largest campus employers during the spring '83 semester was the physical education department with 70 employees and the ARA food services department with 59 employees, ac- cording to Jo Ann Clugston, who is in charge of student employment in the Business Office. The number of employees in each department varies during each pay period. Employment also depends of the time of year. For example, during spring semesters, the physical educa- tion department begins training and has more jobs to offer than during fall semsters. The same holds true for many of the other campus departments, Clugston said—by Cindy Cowan Student Offices rm Employment U Fitness obsession Aerobics among most popular ways to stay fit P ysical fitness has rapidly been becoming a national obsession for old and young alike. Everyday there seems to be another jogger, biker or some type of fitness-minded person hitting the in shape scene. Within the last few years, the one fitness program that has seemed to have swept the Pittsburg State Univer- sity campus is aerobics. Nancy Bishop, aerobics fitness in- structor, teaches three aerobics classes with enrollments ranging from 35 to 90 students. According to her, the program was initially geared toward women. The view used to be that women weren't supposed to sweat. But now, they're more into fitness and aerobics classes provide them with a way to work out, Bishop said. It's hard for anyone to work out on their own. Aerobics gives women the social involvement they need and they become more comfortable with this kind of environment. Even though most aerobics students are women, Bishop said that about 20 percent of her classes are men. At first, I think aerobics was as- sociated more with dance as most clas- ses were taught by dance instructors and I think that's mainly why it didn't attract many men, Bishop said. But now, since it's oriented more toward fitness, a lot more men are becoming interested, she said. A lot of the men enrolled in Bishops classes are PSU athletes that have become acquainted with her and the aerobics program through their own sports programs. I've conducted early morning workouts with the football players before their agilities and we even got started as early as last fall when they first came in for the season, she said. Movement, not dance, is the main objective the classes stress and Bishop said that as far as adapting to the routine requirements, men do just as CINDY COWAN, Arma junior, works out on the Weede gymnasium Universal weight machine three times a week. Many of the PSU weightlifting classes are beginn- ing to fill with women who have found that lifting weights is a great way to improve physical fitness. — photo by Jo Black well as women. I like to make up my own routines because I have more freedom. Having that I can better meet the individual needs of the people in the class. With men and women being in the same class, I try to incorporate a variety of movements from which everyone can benefit, she said.

The routines are sometimes exhausting but also exciting as they are performed to the beat of modern music. — photo by Steven Hausler Aerobics Exercises [ ■ ► r I : Aerobics continued from page 69 structors such as Bishop, people must attend clinics where they buy the musical tapes and not only learn basic routines but how to teach them, who to teach them to and how to adapt your own routines to your classes. I've been going to clinics since 1979 but I don't use the tapes that provide ques. I like to be in charge and it bothers me to have someone on the tape yelling out ques ' Bishop said. Most of the music Bishop uses is that of the popular tunes. She listens to the radio and if a certain song really hits STAMINA IS THE name of the game during an aerobics class. Keeping up with the fast and tiring pace of the music and routines seems to be somewhat exhausting at times for class participants, —photo by Jo Black me ' there's no problem in coming up with a routine and a lot of things some to mind. But, she said that if a person came up to her with a song and wanted her to make up a routine just like that, it's almost as bad as having to do a term paper. It's the same way for the students. I want them to have a good time and en- joy themselves so I gear my routines to things I think they'll like. The classes are a lot of work, but if they're all work and no fun, they won't get very much out of the experience ' she said. Bishop considers her aerobics classes high level and therefore more intense. In my larger classes students will sometimes bring in friends that aren't enrolled. I've tried to explain to them people that haven't followed the class probably won't be able to keep up with us. It's not that I mind that they're there, it's just the fact that it's not good for them to go through an intense routine if they're bodies aren't used to it, she said. The students enrolled in Bishop's classes have done other activities out- side those required of during class time. Aerobics half-time performances were a highlight of last year's basketball season. The whole class went out on the floor and performed a couple of routines for the audience, Bishop said. The main reason for doing this was to make people aware of what aerobics actually is and what it can do for you. Most of them seemed to enjoy themselves as they dressed up in all types of exercise outfits or other costumes that they wanted to wear. A lot of people asked me after the performances if I was embarassed by what some of the students wore because some of them were pretty funny-looking, Bishop said. I told them no because I had told everyone they could wear what they wanted to as long as it was in good taste. 1 wanted them to be able to show people that aerobics is fun and that they were out there having a good time and I think I accomplished that. Although her aerobics classes do re- quire a lot of work and provide a good workout twice a week, Bishop stresses to her students that to stay in good shape, it takes a good workout at least three times a week either through another aerobics class, racquetball, running or whatever they feel they want to do as far as activity goes. I try to make my students unders- tand that physical fitness is a lifetime job that requires not only a change of habits but in your whole way of life, Bishop said. An aerobics class is just the beginning for many, but to stay in shape, fitness has to be continued. She added that her classes do a lot for her as a person, too. It's really a boost to my ego when I can look out over a class and see them mentally up and smiling. It also makes me feel really good when I close a class at 40 students and it ends up having an enrollment of 90 because so many peo- ple want to be there, she said. Although aerobics seems to be the most popular way to keep in shape for college students, they do get involved in other physical activities. Racquetball, swimming and weightlifting classes are offered for credit through the Department of Health, Physical Education and Recrea- tion on a semester basis. Cindy Cowan, Arma junior, has taken racquetball as well as weightlifting clas- ses and said that they do a lot to keep her physically fit. Sometimes they prove to be a little challenging but the instructors usually put a lot of effort into making them fun so you really enjoy yourself, she said. You also get a chance to meet a lot people that you don't see on campus because they're always at the gym and it's so far away from the main buildings. Whatever the form that students choose to keep in shape, you can usual- ly bet that even though it requires a hard workout two or three times a week, there's usually always a smile that goes along with it.—by Jacque Porter AEROBICS HAS BECOME one of the most popular clas- ses within the curriculum of the health, physical educa- tion, and recreation department.

Ten dollars a week to stay in touch is $10 well spent, though, said Liz Thomas, Olathe junior, and Joe Johnson', 1981 PSU graduate from Hillsboro, Mo. The two have dating since 1980 and agree that phone bills are cheaper than road trips. —photo by Steven Hauler Jtv 1 ou learn to appreciate the other person a lot more when they're not with you a lot of the time ' said Liz Th omas, Olathe junior, of her boyfriend joe Johnson, a 1981 graduate from Hillboro, Mo. Dating can be challenging enough while going to college when that person is going to the same school and is around most of the time. But ac- cording to some Pittsburg State Univer- sity students, being away from someone can be even more trying despite its advantages. Thomas met Johnson when she was a freshman and he was a senior. Even though they were in the same town during that year, the spring semester gave them a taste of what it was going to be like once he graduated, As a student, Joe taught during the second semester of his senior year in Independence so he moved to Cher- ryvale with his parents. Obviously we didn't see much of each other, Thomas said. As for now, it's about the same type of situation. He's a full-time physical education and the basketball coach at Hillsboro, so there's not an over abun- dance of time for us, she added. We've gone as long as six weeks without seeing each other, Thomas said. But, we've been doing this for so long I guess we're more or less used to it. Johnson feels that one advantage to being apart is the fact that it gives them both an opportunity to develop themselves as individuals, But, we don't get the chance to see each other in our day to day roles. It gives us an entirely different perspec- tive on our relationship and I think we've both learned to communicate with each other a little better, he said. Johnson added that through writing to each other has allowed their true characteristics to come out which has proved to be to their advantage. As for the future, the two have talked about marriage and are planning their careers around each other—Thomas majoring in nursing and Johnson plan- ning to continue teaching. Even with the disadvantages, I don't think either one of us would have it any other way, Johnson said. It looked like it was going to be an awfully long time at first, but it's paid off in the long run. Doyle Childs, a first-year vo-tech stu- dent from Wellsville, has a girlfriend that lives in Topeka and works as a secretary. Although the two rarely see each other, Childs said that the relationship works out pretty well. We've been seeing each other for about a year. We met when I was still in Wellsville but we've never lived in the same town, he said. They keep in touch mainly by phone or one of them makes a road trip. Childs said that both tend to get pretty expensive but they just have to do the best they can. We get along pretty well. 1 think be- ing apart helps a lot because we don't get as much of a chance to bug each other, he said. Childs added that even though the two are apart most of the time, he thinks he still knows her pretty well. Of course, she wishes we were together more but we do get more time to see each other during the summer. I like the arrangement and I think it works out pretty well overall, he said.—by Jacque Porter Long Distance Love Sexes A pleasant mixture Students feel co-ed halls offer better atmosphere SHARING THE TV SET with the opposite sex is part of liv- ing in a co-ed residence hall. Learning to share privileges may be a little more challenging than in one of the stan- dard dorms, —photo by Jo Black Co-ed dorms are nothing new to Pittsburg State University. As a matter of fact they have been here quite a few years. Students, as well as housing person- nel, feel there are only a few dif- ferences compared to living in any of the other dorms on campus. There are no escort hours ' said Dan Heenan, housing director. The quiet hours are generally and strictly enforced. Those people that are noisy are asked to leave the hall. Heenan added that co-ed facilities have been moved from various campus buildings to others, depending on ap- propriateness. Tanner has been co-ed, but one side is air-conditioned and the other side isn't. It wouldn't really be fair, because one sex would get the air- conditioning and the other wouldn't. Because of the L—shape of the building, Dellinger is the best dorm to have as co-ed. The bath facilities also have privacy for dressing, Heenan said. Because of the construction and the separate wings, they can either be closed off or opened up, so the stu- dents can interact ' he added. Dellinger's original purpose was to be an all-male hall. According to Heenan, it was also a senior graduate hall in 1973—74. During that period, it was all single rooms with no staff assistants—just a hall director. Dellinger went into being a co-ed dorm in approximately 1976, the pur- pose being the good influence that col- lege age women seem to have on col- lege age men. This is supported by the Professional Housing organization, Heenan said. It also provides a more natural and pleasant atmosphere for both the men and women that live there—that's the social part of it. I feel that men and women living together under these types of condi- tions also results in less damage to the building, where as in the non-co-ed dorms, there is more, he said. Trout is also a co-ed dorm, but it is a graduate hall. Trout has 60 students living, primari- ly, in single rooms, and most of them are males, Heenan said. In the sum- mer, Trout houses families. I like living in Dellinger. One reason is because there are men! laughed Jackie Maple, Chanute junior. I don't feel as uneasy, because it's more of an adult atmosphere. We don't have rules like the all-girl dorms. If a guy comes to visit after 10 p.m., he doesn't have to be escorted to come see a girl. And, it isn't broadcast that there is- a man on the hall, either, she said. I also think that there's more trust among the people.living here and my parents actually think it is better to live in a co-ed dorm. Another reason I like it is because you seem to meet a wider variety of people and I don't feel as if I'm limited only to girls as friends, Maple added. I think that everyone should try liv- ing in a co-ed dorm for at least a semester, but I wouldn't live here all four years, said Keith Masuch, Kansas City junior. In an all-male dorm, the guys are totally different. They aren't as likely to act rowdy, but I do think it makes it harder to get homework done, he said. To me, living in Dellinger is like community living, but it's okay, said Carol Dodd, Kansas City senior.—by Kelly Hollstadt COED DORMS ARE often full of suprises.

But, some Pittsburg State University stu- dents have found that the friendships they have developed while in college have come pretty close to proving that cliche wrong. Attending college always opens the door for individual growth and development in numerous areas and relationships with other students is one that ranks near the top of the list. Almost everywhere a student turns is a new face—or a familiar one—willing to help out by simply being a friend. Patty Senechal and Carla Porter, both Pittsburg sophomores, have known each other since the third grade but both agree that being in college together has enabled them to become a lot closer. I think I first got to know Patty when we were in the same Brownie troop. It's really strange to think that it's been that long ago, Porter said. As for becoming closer since they started college, both believe it's the result of many different reasons. We're majoring in the same area— elementary education—so we see a lot of each'other because we have to take almost exactly the same classes, Senechal said. Most of the time we spend together is while we're studying but we still have time for a few other things. Another reason why we do more together now is because a lot of the people we went through school with either aren't going to college. If they are, they've gone away to school or they're here but are busy with a lot of other things and we just don't have the time we used to have together. It's an entirely different atmosphere, Senechal added. The two often go out together since their boyfriends are fairly good friends and get along well, too. Sometimes we'll all go out and have a beer together or just sit around at home and watch television. Since money seems to be a little tight for everyone these days, it's usually more television than beer, Porter laughed. The one thing I'll probably never forget is how Carla could always talk me into skipping class. It never failed, she could always do it although she never really had to twist my arm, Senechal said. I'll always remember the kind of friend Patty always was. Throughout all the years I've known her and all the things we've been through, our friendship has never changed, Porter said. She's fun to be with and it was always easy for us to tell each other our problems and believe me that was one thing we always had plenty of. And, no matter how I felt, she always managed to make me laugh, she added. Greg Bogner, Colby senior, and Richard Nepote, Frontenac senior, met just a little over a year ago through their girlfriends who are sisters. We started playing cards together mostly and then we both needed a roommate last fall so we just decided to move in together, Nepote said. We usually get along real well, Bogner said. We both enjoy doing a HACKY SACK IS A favorite past-time for best friends Craig Fraxelf and Greg Mix, both Iota seniors.

It's really a lot of fun. Nepote added that things aren't always as sweet as peaches and cream. We have our disagreements just like any other two people that live together and I'm sure we both get on each other's nerves every once in awhile. But, times like that never seem to last very long ' he said.

However, for the past three years at Pittsburg State University, February has also been celebrated as Multi-Cultural Month; twenty-eight days of sharing in various activities representative of a number of different cultural groups. The idea for Multi-Cultural Month came about as a result of the Univer- sity's annual observance of Black Heritage Week. The people we talked to liked Black Heritage Week, ex- plained Sandy Olson Loy, chairman of the event's planning committee. But they felt that we should also acknowledge some of the other groups represented on campus. As a result, in 1980, Black Heritage Week was expanded to a month to in- clude not only black culture, but also Chicano, Indian-American, Oriental, Scandinavian and other international cultures. Representing these cultures are a number of events which are sponsored and funded by several student groups. It is the representatives from each of these groups that make up the planning committee. This year, Muiti-Cultural Month was opened with the production of the award-winning broadway drama Home. PSU's Major Attractions Com- mittee arranged for the touring ensem- ble to come to Pittsburg as it was il- lustrative of the Black American culture. The play has been acclaimed by the New York Times as being one of the most joyous plays of several seasons. Other attractions included guest speakers, displays and special meals served in the cafeteria. At least one event and sometimes two were scheduled every few days. One alteration had to be made in the schedule, according to Loy, when guest lecturer the Reverend Ralph Aber- nathy, scheduled for February 14th, was cancelled. Replacing Abernathy on the 22nd was Marcia Gillespie, journalist and former editor of Essence Magazine. Gillespie, winner of the IKOYI award as 1974's outstanding editor, and the Federation of Record Executives Women of the Year Award, spoke to students on black awareness.

However, Follet's Bookstore has an appeal that extends not only to the campus bookworms but to a wide variety of students. Follet's, opened in 1978, offers a diverse selection of gifts, clothing, candy, magazines and personal items, The T-shirts and sweats are the big- gest sellers, said bookstore manager Verlen Kresin, especially those with the Gorilla emblem. He explained that the Gorilla is not a common emblem and therefore the clothing, or soft goods, must be sent to PSU T-SHIRTS and jackets are hot items at the bookstore.

Denise Whitehead, Garnett senior, looks through the assortment of miniture novelties that are a target for many impulsive buyers on campus —photo by Steven Haulier Artex, a Kansas City company, for the special dye-work necessary to design the PSU Gorilla. These items sell so well that Kresin said it is necessary to re- order approximately once every three months. For those who are more of a greek than gorilla fan, Follet's also offers a plain short-sleeve golf shirt in blue, gold, or white which can have the organizations' letters transferred on the pocket. Follet's has in supply almost all of the Greek letters used in Pittsburg's sororities and fraternities. For this reason, the shirts don't have to be sent out of town for the printing. The fact that these shirts are very popular with the students is illustrated, Kresin said, by the high number of sales, especially during pledging. For the students who enjoy gift- giving, or those who just want to decorate their room with a little Gorilla spirit, Follet's has a broad selection of novelty items from which to choose. Glasses, salt and pepper shakers, ashtrays, puzzles and ceramic creations are just a few. And, of course, all are boldy enscribed with the letters PSU. Kresin explained that although these items sell rather slowly during the school year, sales are very high during the Christmas season and graduation. Catering to the camera buffs at the University, Follet's even offers an inex- pensive film processing service. The film is sent to a Kansas City company, Elko, for processing and the prints are returned and ready to be picked up within two to three days. Kresin credits the success of this service to his belief that Follet's provides the most inexpen- sive processing in town. The bookstore even offers something for the unemployed, jobs! According to Kresin, the bookstore hires a large number of students for anything rang- ing from janitorial work to inventory and cashier duties. One of these students, Kevin Wulderman, Pittsburg sophomore, has worked at Follet's for almost two years. Working five days a week, he boxes books, prices them and helps customers. Wulderman said that he feels the hours are good and the job pays well. Wulderman said that the job's biggest advantage is its location. I like working here because it is so close to school. —by Carey Gillam CYNTHIA RODERIQUE, a first year graduate student from Overlank Park, checks out tne selection of records at the PSU bookstore.

Approximately 80 percent of students on campus presently receive some form of aid. 'There has been a lot of negative in- put about cutbacks. We aren't being cut back, there just isn't any new money coming into the program at the present time, but there is still money available for students who need aid ' said G.E. Bloomcamp, Financial Aid director. Through the United States Depart- ment of Education, five major federally funded student financial aid programs are offered at PSU. These include Pell Grants, Supplemental Educational Op- portunity Grants, College Work-Study, National Direct Student Loans and Guaranteed Student Loans. Grants are awards of money that the student does not have to pay back. Work-study programs give the student the opportunity to work and earn the money needed, and loans are bor- rowed money which must be repaid with interest. Federally funded student aid is awarded on the basis of the student's financial need.

Need is determined by evaluating the information the student gives on the aid application, usually the American College Testing Program Family Finan- cial Statement. Factors such as income, assets, and family size are all considered in determining the need for aid, ac- cording to Bloomcamp, There are still several ways available to students that could enable them to fund their education. It just may be necessary for them to accept some aid that is not as attractive as others, Bloomcamp said. The Guaranteed Student Loan program, in dollar amounts, is the largest single program at PSU, The GSL is a low-interest loan made to the stu- dent by a lender, such as a bank, credit union, or savings and loan association. These loans are insured by the federal government or a guarantee agency in Kansas. Other forms of financial aid available to the student are scholarships, Parent Loans, and Short-Term Loans, Scholarships are awarded to students on the basis of past academic perfor- mance, test scores, leadership, character and financial need. Some of the awards are based entirely on merit. There are still several ways available to students that could enable them to fund their education, Parent Loans are for the parents of students who do not qualify for any type of aid. The parents may borrow up to $3,000 at a 12 percent interest rate for their child's education. The Short-Term Loan is for students who have an extraordinary, but tem- porary, need for funds for educational purposes that arise from unforeseen or unavoidable circumstances.

Eligibility requirements must be checked on for any type of financial aid through the aid office, —photo by Jo Black The short term loan program is used to assist a student who is having tem- porary financial difficulty with school related expenses, said Dr. David Ken- dall, Short-Term Loan official. Dr, Kendall, who has been in charge of awarding Short-Term Loans for the past three years, said the largest de- mand for these come at the beginning of the semester when students have tui- tion to pay and books to buy. There has been a slight increase in Short-Term Loan applications since the cuts were made in the Federal Student Aid Program, but nothing real dramatic, Dr. Kendall noted. Bloomcamp added that financial aid is available for those who need it, but with the additional attention that is now being given to student eligibility, applications should be filled out and handed in as soon as possible.—by Melinda Oberhelman. Financial Aid Office p D Student Services O J We're in the money Business-Cashier Offices coordinate University funds Ajter the various Pittsburg State University campus departments decide on what they want to spend their al- located monies, the Business Office al- lows the money go when and where it is needed. According to John Bennett, control- ler, the Business Office has six basic sections—purchasing, payroll, ac- counting, vouchering, and cashiering. In purchasing, we acquire goods and services—except for the Univer- sity's employment. For example, if the chemistry department needs something, they will go through our of- fice to obtain the supplies they need, Bennett said. In order for the University to get such a service as a performer, guest lecturer or the photo copying machines that are rented, all processing must be done through the purchasing department of the Business Office. Payroll sees to it that people get paid. They keep records of all the ex- penses that go into or come out of employee paychecks, such as retire- ment fund payments, social security, life and disability insurance, workman's compensation and unemployment, Bennett said. Life and liability insurance is available only to the faculty and staff members, Bennett added. Group health insurance is available on an individual basis, but if the in- dividual wants it for his family, the premium for the family is taken out of the employee's paycheck. The standard state plans all call for part of the money to come from the University as well as the employee's paycheck. The retirement fund is optional for staff and faculty members. The amount of the retirement fund is determined by how much staff and faculty members prefer. Keeping track of all the University's money records is done through the ac- counting department of the Business Office. There are many records of how much money has been set aside, for in- stance, in payroll. Records are also kept of what we spend and where the money comes from. It also broken down into what department various funds go to so that we know whose expenses we're paying and what kind of expenses they are, Bennett said. There are approximately 50 different sources for funds that the University receives. After items are purchased, we check the bills and invoices to see that what BEFORE PICKING up a state paycheck, students are in- convenienced with the presenting of proper identifica- tion. Social Security cards, student activity fee cards or photographic identification is required of everyone. — photo by Jo Black Business-Cashier Offices Student Services we ordered did, in fact, arrive. Once it gets here, we also have to make sure that what we got is what we ordered. Prices are checked and we make sure that all discounts are figured correctly ' Bennett said. A check or voucher is then prepared for the Division of Account Reports in Topeka and then sent there. A voucher is made out by the State Business Office in Topeka to pay the University and the University then sends the a check to companies or individuals to whom they owe expenses. Everything is done according to regulated authority from the state legislature. We can't spend a cent without the authority to do so, said Bennett. The only money that we can spend is that collected through the Alumni Foundation and the Endow- ment Association. The money that comes into the University is collected by the Cashiers Office. This office is also responsible for money from about 12 remote collec- tion points. For example, the collection points include the copying machines, the Ticket Office, and the Game Room in the Student Union, he added. Loan collection is another area that the Cashiers Office is responsible for. This department takes care of all the money distributed to students through the various loan programs offered by the Financial Aid Office. The Short-Term Loan limit is $500 and must be paid back before the end of the semester, said Henry Stricklin, student loan officer. The National Direct Student Loan limit is $5,000. The student can take up to 10 years to pay back this type of loan with the possibility of a 10-year exten- sion. However, there is a $30 minimum payment each month, Stricklin said. All types of aid are disbursed through the Cashiers Office, including grants and scholarships. No one may receive any aid until they are enrolled as a student, Stricklin added. One of the most common, everyday services the Cashiers Office performs is cashing personal checks for the stu- dents, faculty and staff members with a limit of $25.

A student is eligible to apply for a degree check after completing 85 hours of credit, including their current enroll- ment. “It is important for students to apply as soon as they are eligible. Sometimes they find that they are not on the right program or need certain classes that they didn't realize they had to have. By applying early, it gives them time to make any necessary adjustments to their program or schedule, explained Irene West, assistant registrar. After application is made, the stu- dent's permanent record and current enrollment is examined, and re- examined in detail, to assess the stu- dent's progress toward their degree ob- jective. “This procedure can take up to two or three months. It just depends on our work load at the time. That is why we recommend that students apply as soon as they are eligible, West said. After this examination procedure, a letter is written to the student outlining Degree Checking Office Student Services specific requirements that must be met before their degree can be granted. The student's progress is t;-ien fol- lowed until he completes the require- ments for his degree. A copy of all enrollments, adds and drops, and grade reports are sent to the office so that the Degree Checking Office can make sure the student is completing their program, West added. For a degree to be granted at PSU, a student must meet certain University requirements—a 2.0 grade point average, completion of 124 hours (40 of which are upper division) and the last 30 hours of a student's program must be completed at PSU. These requirements are rigidly kept. We do this in an attempt to be fair to all the students and to treat them all the same, explained Dr. Christensen. Besides being the 'Guardian of the Rules', the degree checking office per- forms other services to the students. They advise students on majors and do a lot of informal degree checking. We try to help the student as much as we can, he added. In order for students to benefit most from the process, West said that they should apply as soon as they are eligi- ble, pre-enroll so classes they enroll in can be monitored and check back dur- ing their last enrollment before the last day to drop or add. Other suggestions include paying at- tention to all correspondence that they receive from the office and coming to the office if they have any questions about it, keeping track of their own records and checking them against their program catalog, picking a major before degree checking time, and checking course descriptions for prere- quisites. These things will benefit the student and make their degree checking ex- perience more pleasant and without major surprises, West said. The degree checking office takes ap- proximately 800 seniors through the graduation process each year. This in- cludes the degree checking process, getting the diploma's printed with the correct name and degree, and making sure that the student's name appears correctly in the commencement program. We strive to serve the student's in their best interests and help them meet the requirements of their degree program, so that they can graduate without any problems, Dr. Christensen said. —by Melinda Oberhelman Degree Checking Office Student Services 0 Incumbents hold the Results of election races show few new faces )emocratic incumbent Gov. John Carlin was re-elected as Governor of Kansas Nov. 2, defeating Republican challenger Sam Hardage. For Carlin, the re-election settled the issue of the severance tax for Kansans. The governor campaigned heavily for the severance tax, which Hardage thought was unnecessary in solving the state's financial problems. Hardage conceded the race to Carlin shortly after 10 p.m., almost two hours after the Associated Press picked Carlin as the winner. The governor received 55 percent of the vote, while Hardage had 45 percent. Carlin considered his re-election a message from the people of Kansas for the state Legislature to accept his severance tax, rather than a gasoline tax at the pump proposed by Hardage. The governor pledged to reintroduce a severance tax bill similar to the one defeated in the Kansas Legislature last year. The bill would force oil and gas producers in Kansas to pay more in taxes to provide additional revenue for highways, schools and other areas of the budget in need of funding. Throughout the campaign, Carlin's strategy was based primarily on his four-year record in office and efforts to pass the severance tax. According to Hardage, what was needed was a curtailment of spending and an elimination of waste and the running of state government in a more business-like manner. Carlin's running mate for lieutenant governor was Tom Docking, a Wichita attorney. Docking's father and grand- father both served as governors of Kansas. Docking's addition to the ticket provided extra support from the Wichita area which was considered Hardage's power base. Hardage attempted to woo the farm Elections News vote away from Carlin by choosing agri- businessman Dan Thiessen as his runn- ing mate and pledging a farm policy more beneficial to Kansas farmers. Carlin and Hardage came to Pittsburg twice during the campaign. Both can- didates also brought their campaigns to Pittsburg State University, pledging their support for higher education. Carlin's support for higher education would be funded through the severance tax, while Hardage's financ- ing would come from a four percent tax on gasoline and a rise in taxes. In meetings and lunches with area businessmen, the candidates stressed DEMOCRATIC LIEUTENANT Governor Tom Docking, running mate of Governor John Carlin, were among many candidates that visited the PSU campus last fall before the November elections. —photo by Jo Black the importance of supporting industry in Southeast Kansas. One of Hardage's pledges was a new freeway through Southeast Kansas, which would make the city more acces- sible for new industry wanting to locate here. Democrats considered inconsistency Hardage's main flaw in the campaign. At first, Hardage did not favor a severance tax, but late in the campaign, he stated the conditions under which he would accept a severance tax. Har- dage was also attacked for his out-of- state business interests. Both candidates stressed the impor- tance of this election to the future of Kansas and its residents. Carlin thought the Democrats needed to win this one for the people, while Hardage thought the pocketbooks of every Kansan would be effected by the 1982 election. The day before the election, both candidates appeared at Pittsburg's Atkinson Airport, at different times, for a last campaign effort. Both candidates claimed they were confident of victory based on Kansas voting polls. Carlin's victory was attributed, in part, to his strong victories in the state's four largest counties—Johnson, Wyan- dotte, Shawnee and Sedgewick. Carlin's dairy business roots helped him win the farm vote as well. Carlin even won the election in Wichita—strong Hardge country. After the election, Carlin selected Pittsburg as one of the cities to host his victory receptions, which was hosted by area Democrats at Pittsburg High School. In elections for national represen- tatives, three Republican incumbents were re-elected—1st district, Pat Roberts; 2nd district, Larry Winn Jr., and 3rd district, Bob Whittaker. Democrat Dan Glickman was re- elected in the 4th district, while in the only race without an incumbent, Democrat Jim Slattery defeated Morris Kay. Glickman had been the lone Democrat from Kansas since 1976. In the election for the Kansas House, Democrat Sam Roper of Girard defeated the incumbent William Beezely and Republican Lawrence Wilbert defeated Stan Smith. As expected, state Republicans gave up several seats in the House to Democrats, but still maintained their majority. In the Crawford County Commission race, the surprise came in the 3rd dis- trict where A.J. Albertini upset incum- bent commissioner Pete Murry. In the 1st district, Republican Johnnie Brown defeated Glen Mathis by 17 votes. In the 2nd district, Joe Saia's seat was not up for election in '82.

In the national elections, the Republicans maintained a hold in the Senate, but gave up even more seats in the Democratically held House of Representatives. This switch in the House was con- sidered by political observers in Washington as a move to control Presi- dent Reagan, rather than giving him the free hand he had with the previous Congress. Incumbency seemed to be the choice in the Senate, with only one of 20 incumbents losing. In the House, the votes were cast for Democrats, which resulted in the loss of many Republican seats. In the races for governor, the Democrats gained four state gover- norships from the Republicans. Democratic Gov. Edmund G. Jerry Brown of California was defeated by a Republican. Brown has been a presidential candidate three times. Unemployment and the nation's financial situation seemed to be on the minds of the voters. In this off-year election, there were some rumblings that seemed to present a movement away from President Reagan's policies. The Democrats saw this as a sign to unify against the Republicans in time for the 1984 elec- tions. The Republicans, however, did not see this as a threat to their control of the government. Shortly after the elections nation- wide, several Democrats announced their intentions of seeking their party's presidential nomination.

The American people have endured a long and terrible night, lasting more than a decade and filled with one ecomomic disappointment after another. Today, that long night is ending. We will see a new dawn of hope and opportunities for all our people, Reagan said at the 58th Landon Lecture. The Landon Lectures On Public Is- sues were started on 1966 by Alf M. Landon, a Kansas native and GOP presidential nominee in 1936. This year's lecture also marked and celebrated Landon's 95th birthday. Accompanying Landon to the lecture and on hand to join in the birthday celebration was Landon's daughter, Kansas Senator Nancy Landon Kas- sebaum, who was elected to the United States Senate in 1978. Recognizing farmers, Reagan noted that they are carrying a burden and that he would like to see that burden lifted. The president gave inflation and in- terest rate reports, saying that both are dropping. Inflation has dropped from 12.4 per- cent to 5.4 so far this year, and prime in- terest rates are down from 21,5 percent to 13.5, he said. Reagan claimed that the umemploy- ment rate has been rising due to high inflation and interest rates, and said that these resulted in families seeking second incomes, therefore leaving less jobs for others. However, the lower inflation and in- terest rates do not offer much hope for those graduating from college in the near future. According to a release on Sept. 21, 1982 from the Public Relations Depart- Reagan at K-State News ment of Manpower, Inc., it was reported that the employment outlook is still gloomy. The report, which was conducted in mid-August of last year, covered more than 11,000 employers in over 340 U.S. cities. It stated that only 18 percent of the employers polled plan to hire ad- ditional workers during the fourth quarter of 1982—October, November and December—the same level as dur- ing the third quarter of 1982 and five percentage points below the figure for the fourth quarter of 1981. Another 4 percent expect to reduce staff, compared to 12 percent one year ago and 13 percent last quarter. Cur- rently, 65 percent plan no change in employment levels and 3 percent are unsure of their hiring plans. Reagan said that he was working toward a balanced budget, hoping that this would solve the nation's problems. The gist of the message I've been receiving is: 'No more ifs, ands, buts, or maybes; we want an amendment to the United States Constitution making balanced budgets the law of this land, and we want that amendment now, he said.

As for prayer in the public school system, Reagan said, From the beginn- ing of this administration, I've made it clear that I believe America's children have the right to begin their day the same way the members of the United States Congress do— with prayer. The president of the United States doesn't visit the midwest very often and, of course, he was met with excite- ment and enthusiasm by almost everyone. There were many that put the visit to good use by openly expressing their views on various issues.

Counsel helps students Campus Legal Aid offers advice to students dollar of each full-time Pittsburg State University student's fee goes to Legal Aid funding. Through this funding, the full-time student receives the services of a Legal Aid adviser during fall and spring semesters. However, the service is not available to students during the sum- mer semester. Legal Aid services first became available to students in 1972 with the appointment of Don Allegrucci, a Pitt- sburg attorney. Allegrucci remained in this position until mid-February, 1982, when he was appointed district judge by Governor John Carlin. The Student Senate Legal Aid Com- mittee, then contracted Michael F. Mc- Curdy, a Pittsburg attorney, to com- plete Allegrucci's contract. McCurdy then signed a new contract as adviser beginning with the 1982 fall semester. Such legal problems as the changing of names, adoptions, the preparation and drafting of wills, landlord-tenant problems, traffic citations, child custody cases, real estate contracts, business contracts and other legal problems can be handled through this student aid office. However, the service does not allow McCurdy to represent students on criminal charges or in cases such as divorce. If a student needs legal advice in one the these areas, I refer them to other local attorney's, said McCurdy. Students should make themselves aware of the services that are available to them, as well as make use of them. For example, if students see me before signing legal documents, it could save them from having problems later on, he added. McCurdy is on campus in his Student Union office six hours per week—from 9 a.m. to noon on Wednesdays and from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Thursdays from 1 to 4 p.m. Off campus, McCurdy receives an average of three calls per day at his private office, sees an average of two students per week and receives another three to four phone calls at his home about student legal problems. McCurdy receives a set fee of $850 per month, on a 10-month basts, for his legal services to students. However, he does not receive any extra money for the time he spends working with stu- MIKE McCURDY, Pittsburg lawyer, spends six hours a week on campus as the student legal adviser.

I spend approximately 50 hours per month on student-related legal problems ' McCurdy said. Steve McLaughlin, assistant director of Student Affairs and chairman of the Legal Aid Committee, said that there didn't seem to be any problems this year with the funding of the student service. Last year it was necessary to al- locate extra funds to it in order for it to survive. McLaughlin said that extra funds were needed due to the fact that the pay schedule was changed from an hourly rate to a monthly base pay and that fewer students are seeking outside legal assistance. According to a Legal Aid information guide, a student can receive a reim- bursement of legal fees up to a max- imum of $25 per hour for not more than 10 hours, if McCurdy is not able to give the required assistance or if the student chooses to use the services the another attorney.

The student will often feel as if nobody knows who they are or cares about them as a person. According to Dan Heenan, housing director, these are the type of feelings which compel students to commit acts I of vandalism. Damages caused by vandalism are most likely to occur during stressful periods, during examinations, and prior to vacations and holidays. “Most damages are often preceeded by informal alcohol consumption. For- mal, pre—organized events such as dances or parties at which alcohol is served are less of a problem ' Heenan said. Howard Herring, Campus Security assistant director, said that vandalism usually occurs in spurts. He added that when someone is caught committing an act of vandalism, it decreases im- mediately. “We, at the Student Union, try to downplay vandalism. Sure, it upsets me, but what can a person do about it? We've learned that the best way to pre- vent vandalism is to be careful about where we put things, said Lon Siegle, assistant director of the Student Union. “This isn't always effective, however. Our flags are still being stolen from time to time and our pictures, even though we keep them bolted to the wall, have been stolen before. “We have vandalism but it could be worse. When you consider the fact that we have only one person watching our building at night, its not that bad. Siegle added. According to information that Heenan received at a vandalism con- vention in Boulder, Colo., in 1981 most vandals work alone and they are most likely to be freshman males living in a high rise, all-male building with a traditional floor arrangement, Heenan explained that the traditional CAMPUS SECURITY officer Charles Swartz prepares to make his daily rounds of the PSU campus. Campus security runs both day and night patrols in an attempt to control University theft and vandalism, —photo by Steven Haulier arrangement is a long corridor without a lounge or study area. The PSU dorms fit this description almost perfectly. Herring said that, incidentally, most vandalism reports at Pittsburg State University occur in or around dorm areas. Due to this fact, campus security has recently increased their patrol of these areas. According to Heenan's information, most vandalism occurs as a by-product of destructive impulses, malfunctioning equipment, revenge, thefts, or game playing. One type of vandalism, known as idealogical vandalism, however, is used to promote a political, economical, or religious viewpoint. This damage is most often seen in graffiti form. Heenan said that idealogical van- dalism is most commonly a group ef- fort. It can often lead to conflict. It is most violent when directed towards a racial, political, or religious group. Jealousy is also a strong influence in many cases of vandalism. People who have nice cars will often become the victims of vandals. Vandalism stemming from jealousy can also be directed at valued objects such as televisions and musical equipment. “Vandalism is the cost of doing business in a modern society, Heenan said. These aspects seem to be the major reasons as to why vandalism occurs, and, as long as their is some type of in- stability within our society, there will almost inevitably be vandalism, also.— by Greg Smith MOST PUBLIC RESTROOMS have their own special as- sortments of writings on the wall and Pittsburg State University dormitories are no exception, - photo by Steven Hausler Vandalism r -i News Z7 FAILING THE SOBRIETY test after being pulled over for suspicion of driving while intoxicated this drunken driver is being placed under arrest and is on his way to the Pittsburg Police Department for breath testing, —photo by Jo Black Drinking age controversial Raising age no answer to alcohol abuse The drinking age for Kansas residents has always proven to be a controversial issue at each Kansas legislative session.In the past few years, however, there has been a growing public sentiment against drunken driving, adding to the contro- versy of the drinking age In response to these sentiments, many organizations and schoolboards have ex- pressed desires to have the drinking age for beer with a 3.2 percent alchohol con- tent raised to at least 19. Even more, many dry forces in the state are preparing for one of the biggest cam- paigns ever to raise the drinking age for all alchohol in Kansas. Two bills which would have raised the legal drinking age for 3.2 beer from 18 to 21 were proposed, discussed and defeated before the House Federal and State Affairs Committee last February. One group that lobbied against the bill was the Associated Students of Kansas. ASK feels that students definitely have an opinion in this issue, so we decided to take up the campaign, said Angela Wood, Fort Scott junior and Pittsburg State University's ASK campus director. ASK had two main arguments with the bills. One was the old enough to fight, old enough to drink issue. ASK believes that if an individual is given certain rights at age 18, such as the right to vote, get married without consent, enter into con- tracts and become eligible for the draft, it is inconsistent to deny them the right to drink 3.2 beer. The other argument was the fact that raising the drinking age wouldn't necessarily increase safety on the highways. This was the main reason why many branches of ASK were supporting the bills, In Wisconsin, a study was done after the drinking age was raised. The first year, the drunk driving deaths went down, but the next year they went right back up showing how inconclusive the idea is, said Wood. We're just trying to preserve a right given to us as adults. If the legislature raises the age to 19 this year, what's to stop them from raising it to 20 the year after? Even more, 3.2 beer is not alchohol, it's a malt cereal beverage, said Wood. Although ASK has lobbied against the proposed drinking age bills, it does sup- port legislation to strengthen laws to stop alchohol abuse regardless of age. In the past year, ASK has supported tougher DWI laws and it has also become the first student association in the state to continued on page 100 CONFISCATING BOTTLES OF liquor was part of the job for PSU Campus Security officers during home football games when beer was the only alcoholic beverage allowed in Bradenburg Stadium.

When you raise the drinking age, peo- ple will simply drink more in a less con- trolled atmosphere. They could also turn to hard liquor since it would be just as il- legal and almost as easy to obtain. So, raising the age is not the solution. We need drinking education, not prohibi- tion ' said Wood. Kansas already has strict laws about drunk driving. It's not that we're trying to protect the right to just go out and drink recklessly because we have done a lot of work in this area and we want to promote responsible drinking. This year ASK was the only group to make a definite stand against the bills, so they were pretty much on their own. Several members of ASK from various schools lobbied to get the bill defeated. Wood testified before the House Federal and State Affairs Committee which had both bills. I testified as a victim of drunken driving pointing out that the bills wouldn't make the highways any safer, said Wood. In order to strengthen their lobbying, ASK also sponsored a letter writing cam- paign. Members of ASK visited student organizations on many of the state's cam- puses urging students to write to their legislators voicing their opinion of the proposed bills to raise the drinking age. We had a good in our letter writing campaign. An overwhelming majority of students don't want the drinking age raised, said Wood. We would like to thank the people who participated in the letter writing campaign, said Wayne Meeks, ASK board member. This issue is important and we've shown that students can have a voice. Since we were the only group to lobby against the bills, it made a lot of dif- ference to have students write letters and voice their opinion. Although the bills were defeated for this legislative session, groups in favor of the bills are already gearing up for next year's session. The main group pushing for such bills is the Kansas School Board Associa- tion. The Kansas School Board Association is under the leadership of the Rev. Richard Taylor, a very conservative minister. This group is really pushing hard for new laws and they're a group to take seriously as they have a mailing list inn Drinking Laws ot over 30,000 ' said Wood, Many students at PSU feel that legisla- tion to raise the drinking age would prove pointless, due to the availability of beer in a college community, “Raising the drinking age wouldn't do any good because the students will still get the beer. If your in college, you pro- bably run around with people who could get you the beer even if they did raise the drinking age ' said Jeanne Cizerle, Arma sophomore. “I think it's too bad that people would have so little consideration as to drink and drive, I know i couldn't live with myself if i knew that I'd injured or killed someone because I'd been drinking and WALKING A STRAIGHT LINE is one of the tests used by Pittsburg police officers when they have stopped a driver they believe to be under the in- fluence of alcohol. If the test is failed, the person is then taken to the station for further testing, “photo by |o Black driving ' said Cizerle, “It's stupid to think that just because the drinking age was raised, people would stop drinking. Many students were pro- bably drinking beer before they were even 18, especially if they ran around with older students, said Kelly Duncan, Prarie Village junior, “I don't drink, but I'm strongly against the raising of the drinking age because if they can draft someone to have to possibly go over and kill someone in a war, then they should surely be able to drink a beer.lt would be like placing a double standard on people by putting a lot of responsibilities on them yet deny- ing them the right to drink a beer, said Pam Starrett, Coffeyviile sophomore. “If we get a call at campus security for a disturbance, it will often be alchohol- related, but not necessarily confined to beer or people who are only 18, said Lt. Howard Herring, assistant director of Campus Security. “In my own opinion, 1 don't readily agree that drinking alone causes the problems, but that the maturity and per- sonality of a person also makes a dif- ference. Beer will always be available. People will still be able to get it easily and I personally don't think that raising the drinking age is the answer, I do believe that there is a problem. There are many alchohol-related ac- cidents, but they're not necessarily all beer related, said Herring. What it will probably come down to is that there will have to be stiffer penalties and enforce- ment of present drunk driving laws. Regardless of the feelings among students abfout the drinking laws, students should be prepared for another long push in future legislative sessions to raise the drinking age. Many other states have already passed legislature raising the drinking age and Kansas residents should realize that in order to preserve the right to drink 3.2 beer they will have to take a stand and continue to voice their opinions ' Wood added,—by Yvette Wheeler FINGERPRINTING IS PART of the routine booking procedures of a person arrested for drunken driving.

John Carlin on April 9. Under the terms of the bill, the 1984, which begins in July, and the amount provided by the Kansas Legislature last year for PSU, are $20 million for this year and $24.2 million last year. Kansas institutions pay for their operations using both general state funds as well as fees from student tuition and some federal funds. Not included in the amounts of the bill is money for salary increases for faculty members or utility costs next year. A 4 percent cut, ordered by Cariin to help the state cope with its financial problems, was reflected in the funding provided for the fiscal year 1983, which ends June 30. Also included in the 1983 figures, is the money for salary and utility cost increases. If faculty salaries are increased by 4 percent next year, the Legislature must provide an additional $10 million. Lawmakers would also add $21.8 million if they follow the governor’s recom- mendation for funding utility costs, according to state legislators.

Broadway, a student night spot. Six students were injured during the incident. Five were treated at a local hospital and one was hospitalized for two months. Dec. 27, 1982, Allegrucci sentenced Durrough to serve six concurrent three- to 20-year prison terms for aggravated battery charges. He was also sentenced to serve four concurrent one- to three- year terms for criminal damage charges. The criminal damage sentences and the aggravated battery sentences were to run consecutively. Allegrucci directed Durrough to be sent to the Kansas Diagostic and Reception Center (KDRC), in Topeka, for evaluation. Durrough was then sent to the Kansas State Industrial Reformatory (KSIR) while Allegrucci reviewed the KDRC findings. Durrough remained under the Jurisdiction of Crawford County District Court for 120 days, at which time Allegrucci had the option of granting probation or placing him in a correction institution. Durrough was found guilty on 10 felony counts Dec. 1 in Crawford County District Court, by a four woman, eight man jury. The jury deliberated nearly three hours before finding Durrough guilty of six counts of aggravated battery and four counts of criminal damage to property of $100 or more. The criminal damage charges involved the damage to two cars and two motorcycles that were hit in the parking lot during the hit-and-run accident. During the two-day trial, Durrough testified that he “vaguely remembers the continued on page 104 WALKING OUT OF THE courtroom after being convicted of 10 felony counts that stemmed from a hit and run incident at Hollywood’s, a Pittsburg bar, is Kenneth Durrough, 19, of Erie.

Durrough said he and two friends, Joseph Metsker of Erie and David Yates of Los Angeles, formerly of Erie, were driving south on Broadway when they saw G.C. Neloms, Wichita Junior, and Norvett Jackson, Wichita, walking and asked where they could get some smoke. They said they didn’t have any but the three could meet them at Hollywood’s and they’d look for some. After meeting Neloms and Jackson at Hollywood’s, he said they stayed on the parking lot and talked for about an hour, and then they left to pick up cassette tapes at Neloms’ dorm and two more bottles of wine at a liquor store. The five then returned to the Hollywood’s parking lot. Durrough admitted, under cross- examination by Crawford County At- torney, Rick Smith, that he had drank probably three bottles of wine and had taken Black Beauties, a controlled dangerous substance. About 50 people were in the parking lot, Durrough said, many within two to five feet of the Thunderbird. I don't know if they were striking or bumping it (the car). I know they were there, Durrough said. “You just put your head down and drove, is that correct? Smith asked. “Yes, I did, Durrough replied. Durrough’s car, the Thunderbird, hit the cars and motorcycles, then Terry Hopper, Frontenac senior; Angie Wood, Fori Scott junior; Regina Meade, Ottawa junior; John Mangan, Coffeyville junior; David Londene, Spring Hill senior; and, Jim Page, Spring Hill sophomore. Through court testimony, it was revealed that Page and Hopper had filed suit against Durrough to recover their medical costs. Page withdrew from school after the incident. He received a fractured pelvis, burns, contusions, cuts and loss of skin from his legs after being pinned beneath Durrough’s car. He was first taken to Mt. Carmel Medical Center and was then transferred to Olathe Community Hospital, where he was released in October. Still no cure for new disease AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) is quickly approaching epidemic proportions since It came into the public view in 1981. It has stricken 1,300 Americans to date, more than half of them in the last year. With 489 deaths to date, AIDS death toll is higher than the combined fatalities of Legionnaire’s disease and toxic shock syndrome. No victim has fully recovered and fewer than 14 percent have survived longer than three years after being diagnosed. AIDS was first reported in the homosexual communities of New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco. “The Gay Plague has been found in in- travenous drug users of both sexes, Haitian immigrants, and more recently the sex partners and children of both groups have been afflicted, although gay men still account for 72 percent of the cases. New cases have also appeared in hemophiliacs and at least one recipient of a routine blood transfusion has been stricken by the growing disease. And there are a few that don’t fall into any apparent category. “As the months go by, we see more and more groups, said Dr. Anthony Fauci of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, in the April 18 issue of Newsweek. AIDS is creeping out of well-defined epidemiological confines. According to Dr. Jeffrey Koplan, a public health expert at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta, GA., in the same article, AIDS will begin ap- pearing with greater frequency among heterosexuals as the epidemic grows. The epidemic is expected to grow to more than 2,000 cases by the end of the year, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control. AIDS seem to first strike extremely promiscuous fast-lane homosexual or bisexual men. It has now spread to in- clude more conservative, even monogamous gays. Of the 1,300 cases, 933 are from this group and they have a mortality rate of 35 percent. Intravenous drug users make up 217 of the cases, with a 40 percent mortality rate. Shared needles are suspected to be the cause of the male and female cases in this category. Recent Haitian immigrants, of both sexes, have made up 64 of the cases and have a 55 percent mortality rate. This group mystifies researchers because of their denial of IV drug use and deep- rooted anti-homosexual bias. Hemophiliacs make up the largest rate of mortalities with a 73 percent rate, although there are only 11 cases currently under investigation. Syptoms can include Kaposi’s sarcoma, Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP), and multiple Infections. The first victim died of multiple infections in December 1981, after a dramatic weight loss. Treatment has proven, for the most part, to be unrewarding. Although drugs can cure some of the infections of the AIDS victims, their weakened condition makes them prone to catching one illness after another. Some experimenting is being done with interferon, a natural virus-fighting substance that has shown promise in treating certain types of cancer. Bone-marrow transplants, replacement of blood plasma with plasma from healthy donors and experimental extracts of T-cells, called transfer factor, have been tried as treatments, but without any dramatic results. It has caught everybody by surprise, says Dr. Abe Macher of the National Institutes of Health, in the Newsweek article. Textbooks are being rewritten. We’re observing the evolution of a new disease. 1 r A Kanza 83 I vJ T News Briefs Dorm rates rise again At the January Board of Regent’s meeting a plan that will increase all dorm room and board rates by 4.6 percent was approved. The new rates are scheduled to go into effect in August, 1983. “The main reason the dorm rates are going up is that everything else is going up. Utilities are especially hurting us. We have tried to Keep the increases as low as possible, but the money has got to come from somewhere,” said Dan Heenan, housing director. Utilities increased 15 percent, a rise of $27,781, Heenan said. Another major reason for the increase was that the housing office did not receive as large a work study allocation, making it necessary to find the money to pay students out of their own operating expenses. Also increasing in costs were food, laundry, insurance, and telephone ex- penses. In an effort to help absorb part of the rate hikes, 29.1 percent less was spent on building repairs and equipment. “I wish it wouldn’t go up, but I suppose the prices of everything are going up right now. It just seems like students are paying so much already. I think it really will hurt students, especially those who are having trouble making it right now,” said Brenda Murdock, Coffeyville junior. Double rooms, with no food plans, are expected to jump $36 to a total of $812 a year. Those with the 10 meal plan will rise $80, a total cost of $1,810 yearly, Single rooms with the 18 meal weekly food plan will increase $106, a total of $2,390 a year. “I don’t like it, especially considering the size of my room, but the fact that utilities are rising probably does account for a lot of the increase,” said Deb Hartnett, Fredonia junior, who lives in Nation Hall. “I don’t think there is a problem with the facilities. I’ve seen worse at a Junior college, and they are well-kept here, but I think every little increase for the next few years is going to hurt students. Everything is so tight right now,” Hart- nett said. Emphasizing the fact that dorm services would not change, Heenan said that the students living In the dorms would still be able to use the free television, recreational equipment and cooking facilities. Fiery crash takes life of princess On the same winding road on which she sped in ”To Catch a Thief” with Cary Grant, Princess Grace of Monaco, 52, lost control of her car after suffering a relatively minor cerebral accident, and was killed in September, 1982. Her 17-year-old daughter, Princess Stephanie, who was riding in the car with her along the hairpin curves of the Moyenne Corniche in France above Monaco, was seriously injured. Speculations at first were that Princess Stephanie, who is one year younger than the legal driving age, was driving because she was pulled from the driver’s seat and Princess Grace was pinned in the back seat. Princess Grace, once known to the American movie-going public as Grace Kelly, retired from her movie actress career at age 26, and in a fairytale romance married Prince Rainier III. Kelly, although she was only an actress for five years, made 11 films, received two Academy Award nominations and one Oscar. Kanza 83 -I News Briefs I U Employee recognized JoAnn E.

Clugston has been payroll clerk in the University Business Office for 11 years. I really didn’t expect it,” Clugston said about receiving the award. You try to do the job to the best of your ability and It’s nice to be appreciated, she said. Clugston received a plaque, which will stay in the business office, a silver tray with her name on it, and a check. Clark Two others, Gala Clark, secretary I technology department, and Danny Jacquinet, auto mechanic I physical plant, were also finalists In the 1983 competition. Employees were judged on professionalism, dedication, flexibility, cooperation and previous years nominated. The seven semifinallsts were in- dividually interviewed by a committee of nine classified employees and the three finalists were chosen. The other semifinalists, chosen from among 27 original campus-wide Clugston nominees were: Joan Cleland, School ol Business; Maxine Engler, health, physical education and recreation department office; Leona Gartner, School of Education; and Beverly Lavery, Vocational Technical Institute office. A total of 27 awards were presented at the recognition ceremony. Twenty-year pins were awarded to Samuel Ross, electronics technician II, and Melvin Rupard, refrigeration and air con- ditioning service technician supervisor. Nine 15-year and 16 10-year presen- tations were also made. Jacquinet First artificial heart implanted Barney Clark, a 61-year-old retired dentist from Des Moines, Wash., lived 112 days with his new heart, and in the end it was his other vital organs that failed, not his heart. Clark became the first human to receive a permanently Implanted artificial heart on Dec. 9 at the University of Utah Medical Center in Salt Lake City. Clark was in the final stages of car- diomyopathy, a progressive weakening of the heart muscle that leads to congestive heart failure, and was dying, when he arrived in Salt Lake City on Dec. 6. The pneumatically powered heart, developed there by Dr. Robert Jarvik, was Clark’s only hope since he was 61, which is 11 years over the usual age limit agreed upon by surgeons for a transplant. After the transplant, Clark was con- nected to 375 pounds of equipment that includes two compressors, a back-up compressor, a three-hour supply of pressurized air to operate the heart in case of power failure, a drier to dehumidify the air, and mechanisms that control the air pressure and heart rate. Clark had sustained through crisis after crisis after the seven-and-a-half hour surgery to install his artificial heart. He underwent operations to close blisters on his lungs, to stop severe nose bleeds and to replace a cracked valve in the mechanical heart. Between his returns to the operating room he suffered con- vulsions, pneumonia, kidney failure, mental confusion and depression. We lost a very dear friend and a man we believe will forever stand as one of the greatest pioneers in the history of the advances of medical research,” said Dr. Lyle Joyce, a surgeon on the University of Utah medical team, in a interview with Newsweek, April 4, 1983. i AT Kanza 83 I vJO News Briefs Budget for repairs cut by regents Two major items affecting Pittsburg State University, the redistribution of money for major repairs, maintenance and remodeling for fiscal 1983 and the rewarding of a capital improvement proposal, were approved during the Feb. 17 and 18 Board of Regent’s meeting in Topeka. Dr. James Appleberry, university president, said amendments to the $25,845 appropriated for major repairs, special maintenance and remodeling are routine” and requests to the Regents are made when University officials want to shift funds from various areas into particular areas believed to be in greater need of repair. The Regents approved the following reductions: reducing the boiler repair of the Weede Building from $8,845 to $3,865; the sprinkler system for paint spray booths for Hartman and Whitesitt Halls from $7,000 to $5,125; and wall repair of Grubbs Haii from $10,000 to $4,215. From those reductions, $6,100 will go toward Phase i improvements of the University tennis courts and $6,540 will be used to repair the Axe Library roof and interior damage to ceiling tile. Problems have existed since the library was completed in 1979, and need to be made to avoid further internal damage to the newer part of the structure, he added. Dr. Appleberry said temporary repairs are needed on Gibson Dining Hall. The rewording of two legislative im- provement requests, to clarify the language of the proposal, were also approved by the Regents. Double glazing of windows” was changed to double glazing and replacement of windows, and “weatherstripping, storm sash and glazing, screening and sealing of windows for Institutions of higher education” to “double glazing and replacement of windows.” The rewording was requested so that there could be no question on how the money was to be spent, Dr. Appleberry said. A balance of more that $30,000 exists in the weatherization accounts. THE REMODELING OF the Gladys A.

John Carlin. Dumas, a Prairie Village native, had served approximately 10 months of a four-year term on the board. He was appointed to the post by Carlin in December 1981. As director of manufacturing for Western Electric In Kansas City, Dumas accepted a transfer by the company to New Jersey. Dumas did not leave the board immediately after taking the New Jersey job, Swenson said, because he was unsure if the transfer was per- manent. Once the transfer was permanent, He resigned because he is no longer a state resident,” Swenson said. A search for a replacement for Dumas should be underway within a few weeks, Swenson said, noting that the person will serve the remaining three years of the term. There may be a search or re- appointment of members to three Regent positions that expire at the end of the year, Swenson said. their income earned from interest, ac- cording to Charles.Chenoweth, president of the National Bank of Pittsburg. Applying to Interest earning accounts through banks, the new withholding tax also applies to treasury bills, stocks, bonds and money market funds. An approximate $1.5 billion a year would be lost by savers and investors according to the American Bankers Association. A nationwide drive to inform the public of the new law has been started by the American Bankers Association in hopes of creating public reaction against the law. Advertisements encouraging citizens to write their congressman and express their views of the law were placed in the Collegio and The Morning Sun. “This law is not needed, we are already sending the IRS the 1099 forms letting them know how much interest was “The Administration of Justice program has been eliminated at Pittsburg State University after eight years of benefiting the students and the campus,” said Kenneth Peak, outreach coordinator of the Administration of Justice. “We did more than teach people how to put on handcuffs, we were an unique concept that provided an education to students in regard to the jobs in the law enforcement field,” Peak said. The Law Enforcement Education Program (LEEP) was as an offshoot of the Law Enforcement Assistant Ad- ministration Program (LEAA). LEAA’s primary function is to reduce crime through many different programs, such as promoting the education of future employees In the law enforcement field. It was highly criticized for for not showing a reducement In crime and a earned,” Chenoweth said. “They have the information, but we know through past tax cases that the IRS cannot find it. They can’t get a hold on the problem, so they are throwing the burden of collection on our shoulders, Chenoweth added. The money would be given to the IRS at each period an institution pays its In- terest or dividends, explained Chenoweth. Ten percent of the interest earned would be lost by the savers or investors to the IRS, who would have it tax free. Chenoweth said that a hard and unified effort by bankers and citizens is needed to get the law repealed. “From an economic standpoint this does not make sense. The government Is trying to encourage investment, but moves like this will discourage It if people know they will be taxed on what they invest,” Chenoweth said. subsequent drive to eliminate the program began during President Jimmy Carter’s administration. With the elimination of LEAA, the LEEP program was also cancelled and this caused a major Impact on the students enrolled, causing a 75 percent drop. We went from 75 to 25 student majors in our department,” Peak said. The Administration of Justice program was an outreach program that was provided by Wichita State University at the mandate of the Kansas State Board of Regents. “An increase In transportation costs forced Wichita State to restructure the entire outreach program. It has now been centralized ot the University of Kansas,” Peak added. “Pittsburg State was very cooperative and the program will be missed,” Peak said. Justice program Is axed after eight years of student service Kanza 83 News Briefs 10' Fire destroys frat Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity members moved into a newly constructed chapter house, estimated at $90,000, in October. The construction of the new fraternity house began only weeks after five students escaped serious injury from an early morning fire that destroyed the fraternity house at 1809 S. Broadway on May 28. According to Dr. Ward Cates, assistant professor in the department of curriculum and administration and Sig Ep chapter counselor, the decision to build the house from the ground up instead of remodeling came when initial estimates on the reconstruction were added up. The house was savable, but it would have cost $60,000 to bring it back to where it was before the fire. It wouldn’t have been much to live in,” Dr. Cates said. Fuller Brothers Construction of Kansas City, the company doing the con- struction, are Sig Ep alumni members and are a week ahead of schedule, ac- cording to Dr. Cates. The construction people are really great. They’re working fast and are really taking pride in the building,” Mark Lipsey, Wichita junior and Sig Ep treasurer, said. The insurance on the house paid for half the construction costs. The remaining amount for construction came from two loans, one from the national Sig Ep chapter and the other from a local bank, according to Dr. Cates. The furnishing and other items on the inside of the house are being paid for by the alumni donations and savings from undergraduate fraternity members. According to Lipsey, the Sig Eps were planning on building a new house in the next few years and had been saving money from school functions for that purpose. We had been planning on building a new house in the future and the money we had saved for the construction will really help in furnishing the new house. We don’t plan on being extravagant for the first year but we’re planning on making the house very nice,” Lipsey said. With the inside a total loss, all the Sig A CHARRED LIVING ROOM represented some of the resulting damage to the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity house from a fire in May, 1982. The entire house was gutted and five members of the fraternity, in the house at the time, were forced to jump from windows, climb down trees and roll down stairwells to escape. The Sig Eps have now replaced the house with a new structure, —photo courtesy of the Collegio house Ep memorabilia was lost, including the alumni photos and trophies. Over 3,000 trophies in the house were reduced to a puddle and the class photos were all destroyed. These Items will be replaced by donations from the alumni classes which were represented by each, Dr. Cates said. The undergraduate fraternity members living in the house lost all their belongings but received partial reim- bursement. “The insurance held by the house did not cover personal belongings. However most of the insurance policies held by our parents had a clause that stated that if they were helping to pay for our schooling, anything we owned at school was covered by their policy. Those of us who lost large amounts received partial compensation. Although we did not receive our total losses the amounts received helped somewhat,” Lipsey said. The new facility has 10 double bedrooms which will house 20 members, increasing the number of living quarters by seven. The pre-dawn fire was apparently ignited by a smoldering cigarette in a couch located in the first floor television room of the old two-story wooden house. It spread through the house by an interior stairwell, then outside to the south wall. Once the fire reached the attice, it spread throughout the structure. Five members of the Sig Ep fraternity escaped the fire by leaping from win- dows, climbing down trees or rolling down stairwells. None of the five were seriously injured. Those gentlemen were very, very lucky that no one was seriously injured or killed,” said Pittsburg Fire Chief Bill Scott. The fire was discovered by fraternity member Clayton Schul, Grenola alumni, according to Lipsey. Besides Schul and Lipsey, fraternity members Jim Knowles, Wichita senior; Time James, Fort Scott vo-tech student; and Dan Adams, Kansas City junior, were in the house when the fire occured, said Lipsey. To make sure the new house complies with state fire codes the Sig Eps allotted $2,600 to $4,000 for fire safety. “The house now has more fire protection than is required by state regulations. We may not use the entire $4,000 allotted, but so far we have spent $1,600 just for smoke alarms,” said Dr. Cates.

Dr. Appleberry announced his resignation and acceptance of the presidency at Northern Michigan in Marquette last April which became ef- fective June 1. One academic dean or University director, three student senators, three faculty senators and three members of the alumni association make up the committee. Dr. Richard Welty, dean of the School of Arts and Sciences at the time of his appointment, will represent the ad- ministration. Dr. Welty was chosen for the position by the Board of Regents from a list of candidates submitted by the University. Roch Switlik, Parsons senior and Student Senate president, was automatically awarded a spot on the committee, and also selected for student representation were undergraduate Robert Herron, Columbus sophomore, and graduate student Rebecca White, Pittsburg. Faculty Senate President Dr. Thomas Walther, professor of history; Dr. James Thomas, professor of physics, and Dr. Peter Hamilton, associate professor of speech and theater, will represent the Faculty Senate on the committee. Committee members representing the Alumni Association will be Jay Westervelt, association president, and Edward McNally and John Clark, association members. James Pickert, board chairman, said that Dr. Appleberry “has been a credit to higher education in the state.” “This is a severe loss to not only PSU, but also the state of Kansas,” said Archie Dykes, regent member and former chancellor of the University of Kansas. Before coming to PSU, Dr. Appleberry served as administrative assistant to Dykes. “Dr. Appleberry has made a large contribution to Kansas higher education,” Dykes added. Dr. James Gilbert, vice president of academic affairs, was selected by the Kansas Board of Regents to serve as acting president following the resignation of Dr. James Appleberry. Dr. Alvin Proctor, professor emeritus, was also Interviewed by the Regents for the position, according to James Pickert, regent. Gilbert and Proctor were the only two approached by the Regents concerning the position. Gilbert has been vice president of academic affairs since 1978. He received his bachelor’s degree rom the University of New Mexico and a master’s and doctorate from American University in Washington, D.C. Proctor received a bachelor’s and master's from PSU. He served as a graduate assistant in 1935. During his career at PSU, he was the assistant to the president, executive vice president, academic vice president, dean of graduate studies, and chairman of the social science department. Kanza 83 News Briefs in Tuition hike approved The Kansas Board of Regents Fiscal Affairs Committee approved a 10 percent tuition increase for all Regent’s in- stitutions during their meeting April 15, and presented the proposal on the May 20 to the Board of Regents. The increase will go into effect the fall of 1984. The measure will raise the students' contribution to 25 percent of total educational costs, while taxpayers will pay the other 75 percent. “We’re all interested in providing the best possible education...for the least number of dollars. But if there’s anyone among us that feels a $450 resident undergraduate fee for fiscal 1985 is disproportionate, I’m amazed. They must not be looking at the same numbers I am,” said Jordan Haines, regent, referring to the figure which will be paid at the state’s three largest institutions. The Committee on Tuition and Fees, a subcommittee of the Fiscal Affairs Committee, suggested a $15 per student fee to be earmarked for future library acquisitions and computer services. The $15 would be generated from the tuition increase. The fufl committee, however, rejected the idea and Regent Wendell Lady said, the portion of the increase to be allocated for special purposes should be left up to the individual institutions. Lady said, in defense of the 25 percent student contribution figure, “we're already asking the taxpayers to con- tribute a tremendous amount to higher education.” “There are many taxpayers in this state who aren’t benefiting directly from higher education,” he said. Lady said he wouldn’t be in favor of a student-contribution ratio of higher than 25 percent. The Student Advisory Council, made up of the student body presidents, weren’t in agreement and voted 5-1 to oppose the tuition raise. In an effort to avoid across-the-board reductions, and concentrate on more specialized budget cuts, the committee also approved a measure asking each of the state's regent institutions to submit a detailed financial base re-evaluation by Sept. 1. This financial re-evaluation measure, authored by Archie Dykes and Sandra McMullen, regents, asks for a report including information on what steps were taken in compliance with the budget cuts in fiscal 1983, and what specific areas within each institution could stand cuts in fiscal '84. Dykes said the proposal was designed in the interest of “maintaining quality in our programs, so that students will continue to get the highest quality education possibie. We also want to maintain a comparable compensation schedule for our faculty, and these reports will help us decide if reallocation will help,” Dykes said. “We especially want to maintain core programs of high quality. We want to avoid blind, across-the-board cuts,” Dykes added. in other committee meetings, the Academic Affairs and Special Services Committee heard a report from the Regent Academic Adviser Joe McFarland on the percent of distribution of operating budgets at the state in- stitutions, McFarland’s report indicated that the PSLI’s instructional budget has the highest allocation percentage rate of any of the state schools. Pittsburg State allocates 54.2 percent of its operating budget to instruction, compared with just 32.9 percent at Kansas State University.

The committee also voted to approve the Physical Plant’s purchase of a second-hand, one-quarter ton American Motors Corporation Jeep, which was made available by the Postal Service for $1,400. The steps to be taken in finding a replacement for President Appleberry, who resigned effective June 1, was discussed in executive session by the Policy and Procedures Committee.

Hardage covered his nine point plan for rebuilding Kansas, which includes ac- tively recruiting major industries to expand to Kansas, establishing a State Housing Authority to make possible low interest mortgage money to prospective home buyers, and additional funding for the Kansas highway system. A $.04 per gallon increase in the gasoline tax is proposed by the Wichita millionaire. He feels it is a step in the right direction to revitalize the state's deteriorating highways, and he feels those who use the highways the most should be the ones who pay the most for their repair and upkeep. A freeway through Southeast Kansas to provide an extra incentive for Industries to locate here is also included in Har- dage’s plans for the state. He said that the proposed highway would link the industrialized areas of Southeast Kansas with Wichita and the rest of the state. “This area continually gets the short end of the stick when it comes to high- way funding, Hardage said, stressing that good highways are an important factor when an industry is planning to expand into a new area.

Kanza 83 -t News Briefs I 'Rhino boot' implemented A new method of impounding vehicles using an immobilization boot was an- nounced in November by Campus Security. The new “Rhino boot” is to be used only on those cars that cannot be traced and have excessive parking violations, ac- cording to Campus Security. “We bought the boots because we are short on manpower and it is one way that we can control illegally parked cars that cannot be traced,” said Howard Herring, Campus Security. The metal boot is attached to the wheel of the car and a bright orange sticker Is placed on the window. If the car is driven with the boot still attached, it can damage the car. “Any attempt to move the vehicle will result in severe damage to the vehicle,” is written in bold print on the warning sticker. The sticker also states, “Any attempt to remove or tamper with the boot or to remove the vehicle may result in criminal charges being filed against the offender.” “We are not using it to trap students, it's for those who disregard notices and we need to catch the person at their car so we can get the problem taken care of,” Herring said. Major cities have used this system of impounding cars that are illegally parked for some time said Herring. New policy passes for transcripts The Feb. 9 Student Senate meeting resolved the transcript fee problem after much deliberation. The final proposal states that the first two copies requested by the individual will be at no charge. After that, the charges for an official transcript will be $2 per copy by mail and $1 per copy at the registrar’s office. Unofficial copies may only be obtained at the registrar’s office, and at a cost of 25 cents per copy. The original proposal had been a $2 charge for every copy requested. Many senators felt this was unfair, especially since most of the other Board of Regent’s schools handed out a specified number of free copies before charging. Another proposal, which called for one free copy and then a charge of $2 thereafter, was brought before the Senate after a meeting with Dr. Lee Christensen, registrar, and a committee of senators. This proposal was considered unac- ceptable to the Senate. They felt the number of free copies that are handed out should be increased. After the Senate rejected the proposal, the problem went back for discussion in a meeting between Dr. Christensen and the committee of senators. Their final compromise is the proposal that was passed by the Senate. It must now be put on the spring agenda of the Board of Regents for final passage.

It was presented to faculty and students during Homecoming weekend festivities. The original seal was first reproduced on a brochure published by the school in May, 1908, when the school was recognized as the State Manual Training Normal School of Pittsburg. The original seal was dropped in 1960, according to Gene DeGruson, special collections librarian, for unknown reasons. Various other seals and let- terheads have since been used, including a seal with former President Russ’s name appearing in it, and the PSU rainbow letterhead was most recently used. A committee, which was first formed to consider proposals for a new seal, ac- cepted the idea of redesigning the original seal, after proposing two dif- ferent seals and having both of them rejected by students and faculty in 1978. Dr. James Gilbert, vice president of academic affairs, contracted Degruson in 1980 to start researching the history of the seal and to locate the initial source. “We had first thought that the Russ seal was the original, but after researching further we found the earlier seal in some otd manuals. “We had a lot of trouble finding a suitable enough reproduction of the seal for Watts to use. Because the seal ap- peared mostly on materials that were destroyed, it was hard to find a good representation of the seal,” said Degruson. Many of the main features of the seal were kept in the redesigning. Appearing on the seal is a drawing of a young man and woman in classical Roman dress. The words “Head, Heart, Hand,” have been changed to their Latin form as “Cum Manu, Capite, Cordeque.” A torch of learning, books and other tools representing the arts and sciences also reappears in the redesigned seal. The seal will be used on official publications, diplomas, transcripts, as a letterhead for official letters and on promotional products.

Cancer of the liver leaves the organ working at only 10 percent of its capability, and without the operation she will only live a few months, Brockman’s most pressing problem Is not In finding a place to have the tran- splant done, but finding the money to pay for the expensive operation. To be eligible for the transplant Brock- man must have at least $20,000 in cash, and will need $80,000 to complete the entire transplant process, Brockman, a high school senior at Sumner Academy of Arts and Sciences in Kansas City, has only $2 in her savings account, and her family lives on little more than $5,000 per year. The Brockman’s only hope of saving their daughter’s life is through donations and aid from outside the family. This Is the main reason the PSU Social Work Club has taken an active interest in her case, “The sad part of it is that the doctors won't even examine her until she has a set amount of money,1’ said Susan Ring, Mission junior and secretary-treasurer of the Social Work Club. The club asked other campus organizations to help the young girl, “We're going to start calling each organization and ask for their help in raising money,” Ring said. A trust fund set up In her name is being monitored by the Security National Bank, Trust Division, Kansas City, Kan. Profits from projects and fund raisers by the Kansas City community citizens have been placed In this fund. Although a considerable amount of money has been raised, the operation cannot be performed until the entire $80,000 has been collected, Ring said. Brockman Is currently being treated by doctors at the University of Kansas Medical Center. If, enough money is raised, the transplant will be performed at the Presbyterian University Hospital in Pittsburgh, Pa. This is one of only three places nationwide where this type of surgery can be done. The operation will be performed as soon as she gets the money. It’s im- perative that she gets it as soon as possible, or she will die, Ring said.

Salaries were the biggest area of gain for the faculty. A merit increase of at least 4 percent will be given to in- structors attaining at least a satisfactory performance rating. According to Bob Medford, KNEA chief negotiator, no PSU faculty member has received less than a satisfactory rating. An average increase is figured to be slightly over 8.1 percent, campus wide, which includes a $10,000 grievance fund. At least 60 percent of the faculty will realize merit salary increases for 1982-83 On Oct. 6, a 12-year-old of Elk Grove, III., awoke at dawn with a runny nose and sore throat. Her parents gave her one extra-strength Tylenol capsule and then found her at 7 a.m. on the bathroom floor dying. Mary Reiner, 27, of Winfield, III., had a mild headache and took two extra- strength Tylenol capsules. Within a few hours she died at a local hospital. Because of minor chest pain, Adam Janus, 27, took two Tylenol capsules. Paramedics found him collapsed in his home, and despite emergency room efforts at a nearby hospital, he died. Later that same day, Janus’ grieving brother, Stanley, 25, and Stanley’s wife of three months, Theresa, 19, took capsules from the same bottle. Stanley Janus died that evening and Theresa Janus died two days later. A total of seven Chicago-area residents died from the cyanide-laced capsules. Immediately, Johnson Johnson’s subsidiary McNeil Consumer Products Co., recalled two batches of the extra- strength Tylenol capsules, approximately 264,400 bottles nationwide. The federal Food and Drug Administration warned Americans not to take any form of Tylenol until the mystery was solved. of 7 percent, and no more than 8 percent will receive less than 5 percent ad- justments. During the second year of the proposed contract, each faculty member receiving a rating of satisfactory or better from their department chairman, will receive at least 50 percent of the percentage allocated by the state for merit increases. According to Medford the contract, presented to the faculty for a ratification vote, was the best available agreement. A majority of the faculty voted by ab- sentee ballot, in order to have time to study the entire proposal, therefore the results of the voting were inconclusive. Non-salary items are basically the same Until this incident, Tylenol sales were $300 million to $400 million a year. They had increased their share of the pain- relief market from 4 percent in 1976 to their present 37 percent. It was determined by authorities that the Tylenol had not been tampered with during manufacturing or shipping, but that the killer had bought the extra- strength Tylenol over the counter and had inserted cyanide in some of the capsules and then returned it to the shelves. Cyanide is a metal salts which contains a carbon atom that is linked to a nitrogen atom. Fifty milligrams can kill a person in 15 minutes. During the investigation, it was found that some of the capsules contained as much as 65 milligrams of the gray moist powder. Extra-Strength Tylenol Capsules have sinced returned to the shelves in new safety tamper-proof packaging, but the killer of the seven Chicago residents has not yet been found. Police are still searching, but the leads are fewer and the trail cold since the random killings. Manufacturer’s of over-the-counter medications have taken a lesson from this disaster and have now started taking precautions in packaging their products to offer some form of protection to Americans. as those in the 1979-80 contract. Among these are sick leave, retirement, jury duty and work hours. No changes were made in the grievance procedure for non-salary items. As a result, the University president will maintain full discretionary authority over non-salary related grievances and will not have to justify his decisions. A reopener clause is also contained in the new contract. It provides for negotiation over the specific percentage and dollar allocations for 1983-84 salaries as soon as the state’s legislative ap- propriations are completed in the spring of 1983. Medford felt that which this proposal had many holes in It and was loose, as a vehicle it has the basic framework to build on in future negotiations. This agreement requires trust on the part of the faculty for good faith on the part of the administration,” said Med- ford. For the first time the administration actually negotiated and we see this as a change in their attitude to negotiate and not dictate. News Briefs written by Melinda Oberhelman Tylenol deaths remain mystery to authorities Kanza 83 News Briefs A game of hide and seek Advisers, students experience conflicting schedules When it is time to enroll and you don't know what to do, there is only one person to turn to. Mother? No, your adviser. Advisers are people who help us decide what classes to take. This is not their only duty, however. They also help us get through some of those tougher classes and if all else fails, they sign our drop slips. However, finding your adviser when you need your class schedule or drop- add slip signed can be a difficult task. There is one alternative, though, when he or she is nowhere to be found- —signing it yourself. Dr. Donald Ward, associate professor of psychology and counseling, said that he knew of students that have gotten by with signing their adviser's name to their schedules. ' Our students don't do that too often. We do know all of them and they do have to face us in class ' he said. Dr. Ward does mostly graduate advis- ing and has about 30 advisees. He said that with the kind of work that he is in- volved with in his department, his ad- vising responsibilities are very specialized. We must spend time with them because the areas with which we are dealing involve more than learning from a book, he said. Although we do talk about their concerns, we keep away from involving any type of therapy. Dr. Ward said that advisers in the psy- chology and counseling department try to concentrate on developing a systematic program. He added that it was necessary to make sure that classes that the student will need at a later date will indeed be on their schedules when the time comes. Advisers should make sure that their students are ac- tually where they want to be. Our job is to help them define and refine their in- terests. Dr. Ward said that accurate schedule supervising is an important respon- sibility for advisers but advising involves much more than making sure a student is properly enrolled. Advisers should make sure that their students are actually where they want to be. Our job is to help them define and refine their interests ' he said. Dr. Ward said that he spends an average of five hours a week carrying out his advising responsibilities. He ad- ded that this does vary, however, depending upon the time of year. Pre- enrollment at the end of a semester and actual enrollment at the beginning of each does demand a little more of his time.

It's not always easy to find them and sometimes we may feel like they don't care anyway. If, however, there was a little more enthusiasm on both sides of the situation, maybe getting together wouldn't be as difficult as it sometimes seems. But, if you stop to really think about how much time and effort they do put forth for us, aside from all of their other responsibilities and obligations, maybe tracking them down when we need them wouldn't seem like such a terribly dreadful task after all.—by Joanne Richter DECLARING A MAJOR in college is not always easy for some students.

Thoughts of unemployment haunt graduates By serving as a median between graduating seniors and possible employers, the Career Planning and Placement Office facilitates about 450 students each year, according to Dr. James AuBuchon, director of the office. However, Dr, AuBuchon said that this is only a small amount of the peo- ple that are helped by this office. It helps many more people by con- tacting possible employers and even by contacting those students who do not orginally file credentials with the office. For instance, if a company is due to come on campus and wants to‘inter- view certain types of majors, the office will contact those majors, he said. The entire process begins with the student filling out a set of placement credentials. Upon request, the student will receive a packet which contains a per- sonal data sheet, reference sheets, a course sheet, reference sheets, a can- didate's page, and a set of release forms, according to Dr. AuBuchon. A placement handbook is available that provides sample letters of applica- tion, a sample resume and some impor- tant points to remember during business interviews. In looking for prospective employers to visit the campus, Dr. AuBuchon said that his office does a lot of letter writing. We make a point of going to companies that have 'non- discriminatory policies', he said. Although the placement office helps to bring the employers to the students, rather than the students going out and looking for the employer, Dr. AuBuchon said that the student is re- quested to do several things. We ask that they look over any literature that they can find on the company doing the interview, some of which is available right here in the of- fice ' he said.

However, Dr. AuBuchon said that the number of employers that make the campus rounds has been negatively ef- fected due to the changing state of the economy. When the economy is bad,.then tur- nover is slow, and when turnover is slow, companies aren't looking for as many people ' he said. According to Dr. AuBuchon, graduating seniors are not the only people that benefit from the placement service. We also help alumni who wish to make job changes, he said. Dr. AuBuchon added that former stu- dents, having filed credentials as seniors, continue to the office even after they have found employment. These people receive information from the placement service on a weekly basis. Candace Ludeke, Liberal, Mo., graduate student, is using the service since she has returned to school to get a degree in computer science. I was working as a media coor- dinator, but now I want to get into in- formation systems, Ludeke said. Ludeke had filed her credentials with another institution but had them transferred to Pittsburg State University after going back to school, with hopes that the office could help in finding placement for her in her new field of study. Vince Horton, Parsons senior, feels the placement office has been a great help and that he uses its services as much as possible. I found out about the office through friends and then I attended a placement meeting where they discus- sed how the office could help, Horton said. For the majority of students, as well as many companies, the service is a great advantage.

According to Pittsburg State Univer- sity President Dr. James Appleberry, the student must be paramount, and everything an administration does should be directed toward this end. The most important thing for any university like PSU is to provide a sup- portive, creative learning environment for students, Dr. Appleberry said. He added that the key to quality education is making sure that qualified faculty and the best educational resources possible are at the Univer- sity's disposal. To achieve these goals, an adequately strong decision-making structure is of PRESIDENT JAMES Appleberry has seen six years of changes in dealing with such issues as administrative structure, cuts in funding and stabilized enrollments, as chief executive for Pittsburg State University, —photo by Jo Black utmost importance. It's necessary, from my perspective, to establish and maintain a decision- making process that permits decisions to be made at the appropriate levels of implementation. It's not up to the president to make all the needed deci- sions concerning an institution, but it is up to him to make sure that the process used to do so works, Dr. Appleberry said. By successfully achieving this type of structure, and by also working closely with the state legislature, alumni and friends of the University in private business and industry, Dr. Appleberry said that the highest quality faculty and supporting resources and classroom supplies can be obtained. Providing a point of interface for all of these things—the University and the competing environment—determines the quality of the total educational ex- perience, he said. According to Dr. James Gilbert, vice- president for Academic Affairs, his of- fice's main objective is to orientate stu- dents to academic programs and assist them in gaining knowledge of various skills through utilizing a positive at- mosphere of learning. Our main concern in achieving our objectives is to not only ensure ade- quate physical facilities, but also properly assist the managers of the learning process—our teachers and faculty members—so that their delivery of instruction is of utmost quality, Dr. Gilbert said. The instructional process includes not only the instructors' teaching process, but also their scholarly ac- tivities and University and community service as well. Dr. Gilbert said that the Office of Academic Affairs tries to make sure that faculty members have the proper tools and environment in order to perform to the best of their ability in all of these areas. We try and work with our faculty in any way we can so that they, too, may learn more... We have a big part in the planning of curriculums, the scheduling and revising of various programs and courses, the provision of instructional materials and the organizing of such ac- tivities as sabbatjcal leaves, indepen- dent studies and community services in which the faculty participate, he said. We try and work with our faculty in any way we can so that they, too, may learn more and further their ex- perience in instructing our University students. Dr. Ray Baird, vice-president for ad- ministration, focuses most of his ex- ecutive attention toward servicing ad- ministrative processes structured by the president and existing academic programs. The major concern within our jurisdiction lies with the planning and coordination of our management infor- mation systems—the facilities located in the Kelce building, Dr. Baird said. Our biggest responsibilities are fulfilling budget and monetary obliga- tions, conducting long-range and University impact studies on various subject matter and maintaining the best information system possible, he said. Dr. Baird's office also acts in a super- visory capacity over Employee Rela- tions, Personnel, Institutional Research, the Physical Plant, Facilities Planning, Campus Security and all University publications. We want to try and achieve a balance of interests between various facets of the University and the in- dividuals related to it, Dr. Appleberry said.

The consequences of this type of structure are to our advantage, Dr. Appleberry said. There is a maximum of diversity in such areas as programm- ing and budgets and a minimum of duplication throughout the state. Much of the board's responsibility lies in looking at university issues in light of sister institutions. Dr. Appleber- ry said that this adds to the promotion of educational quality and institutional autonomy. The Board of Regents uses the mechanism of a council system in order to create a sharing of information and aid in the processes of policy and issue development. Through this council system, the chief executives of all the regents in- stitutions can get together and discuss not only individual, but also common affairs of concern pertaining to each school, Dr. Appleberry said. Recommendations from this council are then forwarded to various board committees for further discussions. Dr. Appleberry said that the commit- tee meetings are to the executives' ad- vantage for they can go before them while issues are being discussed and plea their case as it pertains to all or only one institution. One of the main issues of concern for the board within the last year, as for most universities throughout the na- tion, is the increasing problem of suf- ficient state funding. According to James Pickert, board chairman, the regents' budget request is presented to the legislature after rigorous review and careful evaluation of needs and educational priorities. Jordan Haines, chairman of the board's Fiscal Affairs Committee, said that the regents system is strong but needs continued support and through the board's request, tne legislature will be able to make an investment in leadership for Kansas. Last January, the Board of Regents and some chief executives of Kansas in- stitutions appeared before the Joint ses- sion of the House and Senate Ways and Means Committees to present the regents' budget request for the fiscal year 1984. Dr. Appleberry, who described the significant and negative impact of the four percent cut in the regents institu- tions' funding base this year, noted that a majority of the reductions came from funds to purchase supplies, equipment and laboratory instruments. While enrollment has continued strong, instructional equipment, com- Kuter resources and faculty reductions as resulted in reduced educational services to students, Dr. Appleberry said. Instructional support services such as library acquisitions, have been reduced on all campuses and maintenance and upkeep of campus facilities have also been deferred. It is important that funding be available to also maintain the older campus buildings before serious deterioration occurs, he added. PSU, WSU AND ESU pay more than their fair share, as regents disproportionately cut university budgets to help meet the state's 1983-84 budgetary shortfall. — graph courtesy of Rod Dutton ¥ Board of Regents I Administration Dr. Duane Acker, Kansas State University president, spoke up on the need for funds to maintain current in- stitutional programs noting that there is no problem in making a major case for higher education and its needs. Dr. Acker said that regents programs are strong, but money to obtain publications, demonstration aids and instructional equipment are severely limited and in scant supply. Dr. Gene Budig, Chancellor of the University of Kansas, stated to the com- mittee that the institutions of higher learning are essential to the state's cultural and economic development.

The 1982-84 contract agreement that was reached pertains to all full-time tenured and tenure-earning faculty members. The main points of negotia- tion concerned issues of salary deter- minations and a faculty grievance procedure. What most of our work entails right now is evaluating what it means to live with this contract and considering any modifications we feel it may need in the future, Dr. Jones said. Salaries are determined by merit- type rating system that Dr. Jones said resembles a quota system or normal curve. People are given a rating on their performance. Through the state legislature, it has been determined that those individuals receiving a rating of satisfactory will be eligible for at least 50 percent of funds allocated by the state, Dr. Jones said. He added that there is no real objec- tion to the merit system providing that the state, does in fact, pay. This system has simply been used to save money. In some cases, I think it proves punitive to persons doing a good job but don't receive top ratings. I think it shows an insensitive attitude and legislative bias. However, through the 50 percent provision, we've been able to modify the situation somewhat, he said. Dr. Jones said that there is definitely pressure upon the University ad- ministration from the legislature in im- posing this type of rating system and the result has been faculty anger and frustration. Dr. Jones said that the critical problem throughout the negotiations remains to be the callus attitude toward the average faculty member and the fact that the major source of motivation on the part of the administration was to save money. There is some validity to this salary system but I feel the evils far outweigh the good in it. It's guaranteed to create ill will and unfairness. Dr. Jones added that if all schools in the state could unite, the system could be changed to a fair deal and the merit system could also be maintained. Negotiations also dealt with the faculty grievance procedure. There were modifications made in the past procedure which simplified and clarified it, Dr. Jones said. According to Kathi Babcock, spokesman for the PSU administration, the grievance procedure is an entirely different process now—one that relates to merit increments and differs in for- mat and process. Our ultimate concern is faculty ex- cellence and this is best achieved by good terms of employment. So, what we're mostly concerned with at this time is the scope, expansion and overall organization of the new contract in order to obtain equitable treatment for everyone involved, Dr. Jones said. Babcock said that to arrive at an agreement after over two years of negotiations was a relief for almost everyone. I think the administration is pretty happy with the new agreement even though there are areas that still need some work, Babcock said.

We felt that the biggest service we could do for PSU students would be giving them the chance to know what their senate is and what it can do for them ' Johnson said. The most successful way in which the senate aided the lack of communica- tion was to initiate organizational visits. Johnson and Roch Switlik, Parsons junior and 1982-83 senate vice- president, met with various campus groups regularly so that they could ob- tain the input they felt was necessary in order for them to fulfill the needs of as much of the student population as pos- sible. One of our major goals, which we did accomplish, was to pass the new senate constitution, Johnson said. Switlik added that working closer with campus groups and individual stu- dents as well were the major reasons for achieving the percentage of student votes needed for the constitution to pass. The students knew more about the new constitution before they were asked to vote on it. If they didn't know anything about it, we were there to ex- plain what they didn't understand and I think our efforts to accomplish that are appareat in the results of voting par- ticipation, Switlik said. Another one of the senate's biggest issues last year was to reorganize its al- locations procedure so that the process could be completed without some of the problems and inconveniences of previous years.

The bookstore's student services and contractual agreements and campus parking facilities were also among the senate's top priorities last year. “The biggest complaint from most students is that bookstore prices are too high, plus the fact that there isn't access to any other facility of that type because of contractual agreements with the University, Johnson said. Switlik said that the bookstore's con- tract was up for renewal this year and due to senate efforts students were placed on the advisory committee so that student concerns could be voiced. By placing those students on the committee, we had the opportunity to try and influence some possible changes on behalf of the student pop- ulation, Switlik said. The senate also organized more com- munication between the University and the community by working with the Pit- tsburg Chamber of Commerce in negotiation efforts to improve such things as lighting in parking areas around student dormitories. According to senate Academic Af- fairs Commissioner David McCaughey, Independence, Mo., senior and chairman of the new allocations finance committee, advising senate ac- tions from past experience and cam- paigning for a new allocations procedure were among the biggest responsibilities he had to last year's senate. “We put a lot of time and effort into the new forms and handbook for the revised procedures. We got off to a lit- tle bit of a slow start but with the begin- ning of the second semester we managed to pick up the pace and ac- tually accomplish some of the goals we had set, McCaughey said.—by Jacque Porter CLARIFYING POINTS of information during Student Senate meetings is not only a weekly task but a sometimes very tedious one, also for Mark Johnson, Parsons senior and 1982-83 senate president. —photo by Duane Cash Student Senate qr Administration I Z. VV ■v Accreditation necessary PSU awaits national accreditation Students aren't the only ones that must pass examinations. As Dr. Jennings Blackmon, professor of English and chairman of the central accreditation steering committee, points out, Pittsburg State University undergoes a test throughout the entire campus which it must pass every 10 years in order to remain accredited as a state university. The North Central Accreditation process doesn't evaluate specific or in- dividual degree programs but looks at the general aspects of the University— the institution as a whole ' Dr. Blackmon said. These aspects include administrative governance, Student Services, Student Affairs, dormitories, the Student Union, programming, athletics, library facilities, faculty, staff and overall learn- ing resources. In preparation for such an evalua- tion, Dr. Blackmon said that an in- stitutional self-study must be done which is usually conducted by an ap- pointed committee and takes about a year to complete. I attended a conference in Chicago to begin with in order to learn how to coordinate the study and structure various task forces and committees that it requires ' he said. North Central puts out a question manual to each university being evaluated with the specific information they need listed. The appointed committees and forces then gather the needed data and submit it to the central steering com- mittee for review. Many times there are revisions to be made or additional information to gather that the central committee feels necessary for the final report to the as- sociation, Dr. Blackmaon said. The target date set by the committee was Dec. 1, 1982, but the final draft wasn't completely finished and ap- proved by University President James Appleberry until Dec. 15. Dr. Blackmon said that the final copy was sent to the association along with University catalogs and handbooks in order to provide the most extensive view of PSU as possible. After the report has been reviewed by the association, an evaluation team is then sent to campus for an on-site review. Portions of the report are in- vestigated first-hand in order to get an even better understanding of what we have stated in writing, Dr. Blackmon said. The team report is then analyzed along with the original campus report and a decision is made. Dr. Blackmon added that the entire process is also a learning experience for the University as a whole. We do get the results from the as- sociation which allows us to bring at- tention to not only our strengths but our weaknesses as well. We can change those areas that need a little more work and we can plan to maintain the areas that appear to be operating suf- ficiently, he said. The University does have a chance to respond to the evaluation before any decisions are made and it has the op- portunity to make any necessary changes in order to pass the accredita- tion process. If an institution does not pass the evaluation, they are given every oppor- tunity to appeal the decision and go through the necessary procedures to do so, Dr. Blackmon said. Dr. Blackmon added that he feels very confident about PSU being ac- credited again. We have a fine school here—one we can all be proud of—and I'm sure this University will have no problem in passing the association's evaluation, he said.—by Jacque Porter DR.

Souders said that the first day of classes she was given pages and pages of assignments. Even though it seemed like she could never wade through all of them, Souders said that the instructors were a big help in getting her to take the first step. Souders added that the nursing stu- dents get to be close friends, also. There are people that I didn't even know before that are best friends, now, said Souders. The nursing program at PSU facilitates around 140 students. The stu- dents are either juniors, seniors, or registered nurses working towards a bachelor of science in nursing, ac- cording to Dr. Roberta Thiry, depart- GIVING MEDICALODGE North resident Edna Rondeili a ride to the lodge's visiting hall Is Lisa Tinch, Kansas City, Kan., junior.

Dr, Thiry said that the students' cur- riculum is divided into four levels'- '—two levels per semester. The program is organized so the students can acquire a knowledge of several different aspects of nursing. They may specialize in a specific branch of nursing by requesting that they be allowed to put in extra time in the field of their interest. The program does not provide emphasis on any one field, she said. Classroom experience is limited to theory work and some lab. Dr. Thiry said that the lab exercises are incor- porated to provide the experience that the beginning student needs in learn- ing the basics. Most of the nurse's practical train- ing and experience comes in while he or she is in the clinical setting, for ex- ample, while they are working in hospitals, or homes in the community. Our students usually work in one of the hospitals in Pittsburg, Fort Scott, or Joplin, Dr. Thiry said. During clinical work, students are taught to deal with different situations that may arise concerning the in- dividuals they work with. The one of major concern to most, according to Dr. Thiry, is that of the patients' reac- tion to the student in the hospital. The patients seem to like it. They are usually very interested in the students and think that it is nice that they can have that kind of experience, she said. According to Barbara Spies, Louisburg senior, families involved in the program's community nursing level also seem to enjoy working with the students. Most of them are interested in what we're doing and they ask a lot of ques- tions about school, she laughed. Bob Green, Pittsburg senior, is one of 12 male nursing students in his class. He said that the patients he deals with usually ask him why he doesn't just go on and become a doctor. Beliefs about nurses and doctors are different, Green said. Nurses don't deal with drugs as much as doctors do and nurses work with patients on more of a long-term basis. Docotrs spend only a few minutes a day with a patient—our goal is different.

Just because we're males, do we have to have different or better reasons for being in nursing than do females? Green asked. Working with people is a nurse's goal, according to Green, and he said that he has always been interested in people. “It's exciting.

Unlike most practicum programs, the one offered in social work involves not only students at the senior level but also those at the sophomore level. The sophomore program requires a total of 60 hours of field work and clas- sroom study with the field work in- cluding volunteer experience with area or community agencies. In sophomore classes, we practice skills in class through the text and tests. They are also required to keep a journal of their volunteer field work ' Bozich said. The senior level, which is the profes- sional semester, requires 480 hours of field and classroom work, according to Dr. Thomas McDonnell, social work program director. Seniors meet one day of the week for six hours studying theory and models of helping in a seminar-type situation. Topics covered at this level are built on all the other courses the student has taken ' Dr. McDonnell said. This final year includes field WORKING IN THE Public Relations department at Mt.

We also try to place our students in areas that they have particular interest in and we encourage them to work on their own placement needs so that they are doing what they want to be doing, Dr. McDonnell said. The practicum program has placed students in such places as the Crawford County Mental Health Center, Parsons State Hospital, Social Rehabilitation Services and the Children's Court Center. According to Dr. David Vequist, printing department chairman, printing offers a co-op program and a practicum experience. All three of our majors are required to take the six-hour practicum. They spend six and a half to seven hours a day in the department making up the personnel needed to run a commercial plant and are responsible for everything needed to produce a certain item all the way through ' Dr. Vequist said. The practicum serves as kind of a half-way house between education and the real world in which the students get an idea of where they're going, Dr. Vequist said. The co-op program may be sub- stituted for the practicum but the stu- dent is required to work at a printing job off campus for eight weeks that is as viable as the practicum experience. The internships offered by the technical writing program are simitar to the printing co-op in that students work eight to 10 hours per week at a technical writing job in the area. According to Dr. Joanna Freeman, professor of English and coordinator of the internship program, students are required to write a mid-semester and final report to her and receives three hours of credit and a grade based on an employer evaluation sheet and visits to the job situation which she makes periodically. Dr. Freeman said that students have been placed in such jobs as copy writers for area radio stations and writers for the public relations depart- ment at Mt. Carmel Medical Center, Pittsburg. This year these students will also be participating in a technical writing seminar at PSU in which they will share with attending area teachers their ex- periences as a technical writer on the job, Dr. Freeman said.—by Jacque Porter INSTRUCTING THE fundamentals of the social work field during a practicum class for sophomores is Cherri Bozich, assistant professor of social science.

One of the major differences is that VTI programs are based on clock hours, not credit hours. The clock hour credits are not interchangeable with regular U i versity credit hours, according to J mes Edwards former acting VTI direc- tor. There are 10 VTI progams available. The curriculums include hands-on ex- pedience in air-conditioning and refrigeration, auto body repair, auto mechanics, cabinet and furnituremak- ing cosmetology, drafting, electricity, electronics, machine shop, and wei ding. In each vocational area, there are a limited number of stations in each program and a limit to the number of students allowed in each class. Edwards said that these limitations are an at- tempt to secure each student with the individual attention they need from their instructors. “Of course, the first students to enroll are the first to get into the classes—if they meet the specified re- quirements for admission ' Edwards said. He added that VTI instructors teach in areas in which they have already had on-the-job experience. The most unique aspect of vocational education is the opportunity to gain hands-on training. In auto body repair classes, if something is wrong with someone's car they can take it to the school and have the work done by students for nothing more than the cost of the items neces- sary for the needed repairs. Edwards said that each of the VTI's programs consist of two nine-month school terms that include one two- month summer session. This excludes auto body repair, which is conducted for 11 months, and cosmetology, which is a nine-month program. With the exception of cosmetology, students enrolled in these programs at- tend classes or are involved in laboratory work five hours a day, five days per week. Cosmetology curriculum involves in- struction in theory through lecture, demonstrations and laboratory work eight hours a day, five days a week. Cosmetology is the most dis- tinguishable from all the other vocational programs, according to Patsy Holtz, cosmetology instructor. Enrollment for these students is available four times a year—in March, June, September, and December. They attend classes for nine straight months with the only break being that over Christmas. “The students are required to be in the classroom the first 320 hours, before they are actually able to experience any hands-on training, Holtz said. “They spend each of their mornings in theory lectures, and the afternoons working on manicans. They are graded by the standard grading system of A, B, C and so on, just as are other University students. The services that are provided by cosmetology to the campus and the Pit- tsburg public are: shampoo and set, rinse, hair spray, hair tint, bleach, scalp treatment, cap treatment, recon- ditioner, haircut, cold wave, facial treatment , eyebrow arch, eyelash and brow dye, manicure, and hand and arm massage, Holtz said.

They complete the required classroom work which prepares them to then go on into the laboratory to develop their skills. Auto body repair not only teaches the student how to repair a damaged vehicle, but also proper safety procedures and identification of various tools they're required to use ' said Clinton Carter, auto body repair instructor. Carter a ided that body repair classes consist of about 20 students and the students seem to learn at a faster pace when the instructor is able to spend time with them individually. We work on cars that people in the area bring to us in order for the stu- dents to get the actual experience they need to understand what is taught in the classroom from textbooks. However, we can, obviously, only take as many cars as we need and have room for, Carter said. There is a considerable amount of difference between the auto body repair program and that of auto mechanics. This difference lies in the fact that repair deals with a car's body and mechanics involves mostly engine operations, according to Pheonix Brown, auto mechanics instructor. According to Jeff Lockwood, a second-year auto mechanics student from Overland Park, the student's posi- tion within the program determines how much responsibility they are continued on page 139 Vo-Tech Education 1371 Vo-tech continued from page 137 given Since auto mechanics is a two year program, the first year just involves learning the basics of how to refine the skills we will be taught and getting an understanding of how a car actually works, Lockwood said, The second year we're given a lot more responsibility for the work we do. We have to diagnose the problems ourselves and figure our the easiest and least expensive way to take care of them, he said. Lockwood added that the students do work for the public, just as do the students in body repair. The program tries to fit in as many cars as are scheduled and try, to the best of their ability, to correct whatever it is that is wrong. Tom Erickson, a first-year electricity student, said that this program's cur- riculum teaches students how to wire houses, rebuild electric motors and prepares them for the electrical maintenance field. There are two motor shops in the first year, Erickson said. One covers the rebuilding of the electrical motors, STUDENTS IN electricity work on various projects in the electricity lab in Hartman Hall as part of their course re- quirements. —photo by Duane Smith PULLING OUT AN engine in auto technology is Jeff Geier, Girard.

Military training is a part of the classroom r V ur programs are designed to produce reserve officers ' said Lieute- nant Colonel Wayne Kubasko, head of the ROTC program. Col. Kubasko said that ROTC is not an attempt to recruit only career of- ficers for the army, ''ut also those men and women who me.ely want to use the army to gain training and ex- perience in the armed forces. According to Col. Kubasko, the Military Science programs are divided into four sections. The beginning sec- tions, MS I and MS II, are for freshmen and sophomores and any of the classes taken at this level do not obligate the student to continue in the program. These first two levels are basic clas- ses, he said. MS 1 classes go into the role of the army and leadership. The labs on this level include repelling, marksmanship and some first aid is also taught. MS II classes cover land navigation and general military subjects. The labs on this level are advanced leadership and practical land navigation, Col. Kubasko said. He added that in the spring, a course is taught on the Vietnam war and a lab is also available on survival at the se- cond level. When a student enters the MS III and IV levels, he or she must make a com- mitment, Col. Kubasko said. All students that go into these final levels must sign a contract. They then receive $100 a month for their services and after completion of MS IV, they are commissioned as second lieutenants, he said. Also part of the students' training is going to a summer leadership camp the summer after their junior year. At camp, Col. Kubasko said that all stu- dents must pass a day-night land navigation test and are evaluated on their leadership abilities. However, completing the MS IV level of the program is only part of the stu- dents' obligations in order to receive commission. According to Col. Kubasko, all ROTC students must also receive a four-year college degree, although there are no specifications as to what area of study the degree must be obtained. Col. Kubasko said that the fact that the first two levels do not obligate the student to continue is something that attracts many first and second year stu- dents to the classes.

The instructors are real good about not trying to talk you into anything. They never try to coax anybody into going into something they don't want to do. Koutelas took the MS I course last fall and said that he had thought a little about going on into the program. He said one of the reasons for this further consideration was the amount of com- mitment required in the beginning classes. The Guerilla Company is also a part of ROTC curriculum. According to Col. Kubasko, this is an honorary group that demands extra time and effort on the part of the participant. But, no one is required to take part, he said. Col. Kubasko added that the com- pany goes on field trips which include hiking and combat-oriented activities. Becky Slater, Overland Park sophomore, is one student who did choose to be a part of the company. Slater said that it has given her a lot of knowledge about what the army is all about. Slater is one of four women in the company which includes about 20 men. However, she said that this does not seem to present any problems. The guys are always willing to help out, she said. Slater said that she is undecided about whether she will go on with the military science program or not, although she is seriously considering it because it seems like the more in- volved students get in this program, the more they like it. There are also those students that are in ROTC in order to actually become army officers. Bruce Lucas, Pittsburg senior, is one such student.

But, teaching students to teach and enabling them to ac- complish this objective with other stu- dents is a task that involves even more work and planning. According to Dr. Wesley Sandness, dean of the School of Education, this is what students on the block are all about. The program is a professional prac- ticum in which our education students actually teach in a public school for one full semester, Dr. Sandness said. He added that the program offers 17 hours of credit to eligible senior stu- dents and has become one of the best in student curriculum because it offers a full semester of experience. According to Dr. Reid McKinney, Department of Curriculum and Ad- ministration, students wishing to teach must first apply for admission to teacher education and then make sure they meet the requirements to also ap- ply for the professional semester. Students must take the various clas- ses in which they wish to specify so that they may learn the material that their students will be learning from them, he said. With the start of the students' profes- sional semester, they are assigned to a specific public school—one that has both an opening for a student teacher and a convenient location, Dr. SUPERVISING COLOR and puzzle time among Lakeside kindergarteners Mindy Spears and Jessilyn Noaker is Leanne Davied, Arma senior. Davied said she enjoys working with kindergarteners because of their in- quisitive nature, —photo by Jo Black Students on the Block Education Sandness said. Once the students have been as- signed to a school, they then report to that school's district for orientation. The orientation gives the student teacher and the school's cooperating teacher a chance to get acquainted and familiarize the student with the materials he or she will be teaching in the classroom ' Dr. Sandness said. He added that, at first, the students do no teaching. They start out by observing the cooperating teacher and then, little by little, they take over themselves. However, all of the work required for the professional semester doesn't take place in the public school's classroom. According to Dr. McKinney, the first seven consecutive Fridays of the semester, are reserved for the students to come back to campus all day for seminar and module-type sessions. There are two different sets of modules. One set is oriented toward elementary teaching and the second is for secondary teaching, he said. The module sessions cover informa- tion concerning such topics as school communication skills, classroom management, planning for teaching and learning, analysis of teaching strategies, appraising and reporting pupil progress and the teaching profes- sion. Dr. McKinney said that these sessions are an attempt to humanize interper- sonal relationships between the stu- dent teachers and their students and enable them to better understand the students with which they will be in- volved. He added that the sessions are designed not only to teach the student teacher how to relate to their students WARMING UP THE Girard High School chorus is Carolyn Cook, Pittsburg senior.

We try to teach them what material their students should learn and at what grade levels and how they can make sure that what they are teaching is ac- tually getting across, Dr. McKinney said. Student teachers are also taught that their students need to hear that they are doing good, and they, as the teacher, should make the student aware of their own progress. Dr. McKinney added that with the end of the professional semester, stu- dents on the block spend three days in concluding seminars on campus.—by Kelly Hollstadt Students on the Block 1 a Education I H J A change of roles Study time includes teaching Long hours of text book study and working your way through years of tests make up the graduate. Applying that text book knowledge and working with the students and teachers in a profes- sional setting make up Pittsburg State University graduate assistants. Graduate assistants, G.A.'s, are graduate students who, for experience and financial assistance, serve their par- ticular departments by either teaching or helping with research, among other responsibilities According to Dr. j.D, Haggard, direc- tor of Graduate Studies, there were 75 graduate assistants in the 1982 fall semester. Dr, Haggard said that his of- fice decides which departments may be assigned graduate assistants and which may not. After the assignments are made, it is up to the particular department to decide which students have qualified for an assistantship. The departments know better than I do who would be best for the job, he said. According to Dr. Haggard, the English department has the most G.A.'s on campus with 10. Some of the other departments that use the students most are physical education, business ad- ministration, and speech. Not all of the G,A s teach. John South, associate professor of the business administration department, has his assigned graduate assistant help him with research studies. I am very satisfied with the work he is doing, South said. One department that does use the G.A. specifically for teaching is the English department. According to Susan Baughn, director of the English composition classes, all of the students teach a class. If they teach English 101 in the fall, then they teach English 102 in the spring, she said, The graduate students are closely controlled by the department. Baughn CLASS DISCUSSIONS are an important part of English Composition 102 for Gabriel Rupp, Fort Hays graduate assistant.

Graduate assistant, Tammy Estes, Pitt- sburg, taught an English 101 class last fall. Estes said that although having had the classes is not a prerequisite, to teaching them, she has taken them because, as she put it, I've wanted to be an English teacher since the 8th grade. Estes said that she is taking about 15 hours besides teaching. According to Baughn, the G.A s responsibilities in the English department require about one-fourth of the student's time. She said that the rest is used for other clas- ses. All gradauate assistants are work- ing towards their masters degrees, Baughn said. Some departments actually use more graduate assistants than the Graduate Studies department allows. They can do this by splitting the assignments that they are given. According to Dr. Bill Dickey, physical education chairman, the amount of money that one assistant would get is split in half and given to two students. Although the department may only be assigned three assistants, they may hire six. The graduate assistant program not only benefits the instructors it also beneifts the students. Dr. Haggard said that the program provides valuable teaching experience that otherwise would not have been possible. It gives students a taste of what teaching and dealing with dif- ferent types of students will be like when they begin their professional careers. The students, according to Dr. Dickey, seem to react positively toward the G.A s.

That is how Dr. Robert W, Gobetz, director of Stop the Wed- ding, described how he felt on open- ing night. Everything is already turned over to the stage manager, he said. By everything, Gobetz not only means the light and curtain cues, but the weeks of work that have gone into the production. There are many things to be con- sidered when the decision is made to put on a play. The first thing Barry Bengtsen, director of Pirates of Pen- zance, considers is holding auditions as soon as possible. Bengtsen looks for raw talent when he holds his auditions. 1 want to know whether or not peo- ple are going to be trainable, he said. Bengtsen requires that the auditioner show his talent by a display of move- ment, improvisation, a reading, an in- WALKING THROUGH A series of dance steps for Pirates of Penzance is Karen Mackey, choreography director. Designing dance routines for a play requires a lot of originality, —photo by Mark Story terview, and, if the play is a musical, a singing number. I'm looking for something that can show me where you are at this point in time, he said. I'm looking for sparkle. Most people we deal with are novice, but you can train anybody to act, he said. Okay. If the interview goes well and you don't break your leg trying the movement exercises and you can read, the next step is to be physically right for the part. I have cast men in women's roles, said Bengtsen. When the 'Wizard of Oz' was done here on campus, a man played the part of the wicked witch. The next consideration after audi- tions is rehearsal times. Bengtsen is a firm believer in the two hour princi- ple, He said he limits rehearsal to this amount because after two hours of work, most people begin to lose in- terest and it's more difficult to con- centrate. A budget is set for each play, which controls almost everything about it. Bengsten said that if a play requires a lot of costumes, the set is kept simple and inexpensive. Camelot is a prime example. If a play is set in modern times and the costumes do not have to be bought or rented, then a lot can be put into the set. When Bus Stop was done, the set was realistical to the point that the stove that was on stage actually worked and the audience was invited on stage to purchase bacon and eggs before the show. The cigarette machine and the jute box also worked. Constructing the set is an art in itself Bengsten said. The theater department hires about six people every year just for set construction. The theater shop is located in Horace Mann and most of the initial work is done there. Students in stagecraft classes often times help with show sets. The theater department plans shows for the year according to a theme that is selected. Dr. Harold Loy, speech and theater department chairman, ex- plained that directors meet before the season opens and pick a theme and then decide on the shows that will fit it. This year, the theme concentrated on light shows such as Pirates of Pen- zance, Stop the Wedding, and Shakespeare's Tartuff. Stop the Wedding is an orginial play that was written by a former PSU student, Dan Crutcher, and was per- formed on the PSU stage last November. Gobetz explained that this play is a modern look at the 16th cen- tury style of plot and character in a 20th century setting, We want to expose a broad variety of theater to the students, Dr. Loy said. We are interested in, first, picking plays that will meet the needs of our academic program of study and training. No play is put on stage without a cer- tain amount of research, A director may take as much time doing research as he does rehearsing, Gobetz said. The social and economical condition of the country are important things to know because the director should try to reproduce them. He should also read some biographies on the playwright in order to get to know him and his style. After the sets are finished and placed in their proper places on stage, the rehearsals have come to an end and the continued on page 148 DESIGNING CHOREOGRAPHY i$ one thing, but teaching it is another.

The goal of the actor is to make the audience think that what they are do- ing is real. According to Gobetz, actors must be natural and not look like they're acting. The audience often times doesn't realize what the actor goes through before he can even think about walking on stage. The actor must 'feel' like the character he is playing ' Gobetz said. This brings up the question Why? What makes a person want to be on stage? Linda Jameson, Girard junior, ex- plained that it was something that, once in it, you can't get out of it. I can't get out of it, she said. It gets in your blood. Even if you try to stay out of it, you just can't. Jameson's first experience on stage was playing the part of Tot in a junior high musical entitled Fanny the Frivolous Flapper. She said that she has been in and out of theater ever since then. Although Jameson is majoring in social science, she is a theater minor and hopes to some day teach theater. Jameson said that when done right, acting is a lot of work. PRACTICING HER ENTRANCE during rehearsals for 'Pirates of Penzance is Leah Maiseroulfe, Pittsburg resi- dent. Maiseroulle played the leading female role of Kate, —photo by Mark Story Just getting into your particular character is hard work in itself. I try to take on the character's physical and mental attitudes by thinking of all the possibilities and experimenting with them, she said. Ken Herman, Coffeyville transfer stu- dent, played the pirate king in Pirates of Penzance last October and said that in developing a character, the actor needs to break down the lines and look at the situation. You not only need a high energy level, but you must also be willing to experiment, said Herman. One must know where his character is coming from and what his objectives are. For instance, if your character is nice one minute and wanting to kill someone the next, the actor must change his at- titude with the line. You are developing the character with every line you say. Herman added that not only is it necessary to understand ,our own character, but the actor must be able to interrelate with the other characters. Knowing when to pay attention to what another character is saying is im- portant, he said. Whether a man is playing a woman's role or a student is playing a king, acting can be good for you. Jameson said that acting has given her more con- fidence and helped her to make new friends. When the last bows have been taken, the curtain has fallen for the final time, and the show has been a success, it's back to the old drawing board. Here we are again, another closing night.

''But there are still many problems with it ' said Dr. Roger Hadley, assistant professor of speech and theater, and adviser of the program. Dr. Hadley said that many universities that have broadcasting programs have four classes dealing with specific aspects of the field and at least four teachers trained in instructing students on major aspects of broadcasting. Here, our program also consists of four classes: Introduction to Radio and Television, Radio and Television An- nouncing, Radio and Television Production, and Writing in Public Rela- tions and Broadcasting. However, one of the major problems is the fact that there is only one instructor. I have to put a lot of time into these classes. People in the field of broad- casting expect those who graduate to know what they're doing. The same is expected of them as from any other student graduating with a degree and planning to enter the world of work, he said. That makes it hard on the stu- dents, because we don't have much time to cover everything. Dr. Hadley added that having one in- structor teach all the classes in a certain field of study puts difficult limitations upon the students. The student has only one point of view to deal with and interpret. So, if the student does not get along with the teacher or does not understand the teacher's point of view, they are sometimes forced to either transfer to a different school or drop the field en- tirely, he said. 1 think the main thing that PSU is missing is an on-campus radio station, which would not only benefit the broadcasting program, but the Univer- sity as a whole, he said. A viable educational broadcast program includes opportunities for ap- plied theory through a practicum ex- TAMMY NEWELL, GALENA junior, broadcasts the late night news update at KSNF-TV in Joplin, Mo., every weekend night from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. Newell is a student in the communications department, —photo by Duane Cash perience. A campus cable radio station would not only give students essential on-hands training in production, but it would also enhance the visability and credibility of the broadcast sequence. This would aid in student recruitment as well as attract currently enrolled stu- dents who are undecided about a ma- jor. ...People in the field of broadcasting expect those who graduate to know what they're doing... Its unique programming possibilities offer something different to cable subscribers and depending upon future developments, it could offer instructional sequence which would serve special student populations on campus. Such a facility, Dr. Hadley said, would provide a public affairs outlet for various segments of the University, par- ticularly alumni, athletic events, and other campus activities. Unfortunately, even with the many advantages the installation of a cable station would provide, Dr. Hadley said that the phenomenal expense of install- ing the equipment needed for such a facility is the main reason there is not one on campus at the present time. It would cost approximately $32- 2,300 for the equipment and personnel to run the station. But, just like a lot of other departments on campus, we have to work and do the best we can with what equipment we can afford and, basically, I am pretty happy with the progress we've been able to make so far, Dr. Hadley said.—by Kelly Hol- Istadt TRYING TO COMPLETE an editing assignment for their broadcasting class with the help of the equipment in the Grubbs Hall Radio Lab are Greg Mix, tola senior, and Mike Usher, Pittsburg sophomore, —photo by Duane Cash Broadcasting 1 r Education I J Caught in a squeeze is becoming a monetary issue Education 13ue to a four percent reduction in state spending ordered by Governor John Carlin last July, the Kansas Board of Regents requested that the six regents universities budgets be cut by $11 million. This resulted in a 4.3 per- cent budget cut for Pittsburg State University. According to Cliff Beougher, director of Business and Fiscal Affairs, depart- ment budgets had already been developed so the administration was forced to create a complete set of guidelines in order to compensate for the revenue shortfall. The guidelines were set by the members of the president's cabinet and President James Appleberry said that many factors had to be considered for each individual department. These cuts have been made in such a way as to in- sure that students have the highest quality education possible... Our highest priorities are to main- tain the excellence of our academic programs and, at the same time, ensure that the salaries of our University per- sonnel remain at the current authorized level ' he said. Dr. Appleberry added that maintain- ing the University's academic excel- lence may result in temporarily reduc- ing those programs which have the least impact on the University's academic offerings at the present time. Beougher said that all University organizational units will participate in budget reductions and, if necessary, University resources will be redistributed to support institutional missions and goals. However, he added that if funding Budget Cuts Education WORKING ON A temporary digital trainer, which tests how circuitry works is Doug Seigert, Fort Scott senior.

So far, the cuts have only affected departmental buying, which has resulted in a freeze on various purchase re- quests. —photo by Jo Black does again become available, it will be reallocated on a priority basis. According to the guidelines, the University budget will be reviewed monthly and modified as appropriate to ensure expenditure reduction. New or replacement equipment purchases will be deferred and all out- of-state travel, regardless of the finan- cial source, will be severely restricted. Beougher said that in so far as these guidelines have been implemented, PSU has reduced its general operating expense by nearly $250,000, which is approximately 39 percent of the total reduction amount required of the en- tire budget by the Board of Regents. Our department cuts were made across the board. Our reserves have been cut, so it doesn't look like we're going to be able to do any of the repairs we had planned, said Dr. Gene Vollen, music department chairman. continued on page 154 Budget Cuts r n Education I 3 3 Budget cuts continued from page 153 That same reserve also helps to pay for some of the small trips the students usually take during the year. But now, that money is going to have to come from the students' pockets ' he added. According to Dr. Appleberry, reduc- tion guidelines have also been set for seasonal and part-time student employ- ment. It has been necessary for us to reduce the impact on part—time stu- dent employment, and in doing this we have had to cut the dollars initially al- located for seasonal help ' Dr. Ap- pleberry said. ...Our reserves have been cut, so it doesn't look like we're going to be able to do any of the repairs we had planned. Salaries for seasonal employees, which include grounds workers, janitors and secretaries, have been cut from the budget by 33 to 50 percent. Dr. Appleberry said that this reduction alone has decreased the budget by $100,000. Cutting student employment by 3,540 hours resulted in a savings of $12,000, which is two percent of the total budget. Beougher said that prior to the budget cuts, the amount of student employment hours was increasing. As restraining as these cuts may seem to PSU, other state universities such as the University of Kansas Medical School, the Kansas State University Veterinary Medical School and the Kansas Technical Institute at Salina, have also felt the squeeze of the 154 Budget Cuts Education EXTREME BUDGET CUTS in the future may limit class openings and could possibly lead to a complete shut- down of the entire University, —photo by Jo Black WITH ONLY ONE Apple II computer in a classroom of 12, time on the machine to work electronic problems is a drawback of state budget cutbacks.

Dr, Appleberry said that school budgets are going to have to be tightly monitored in order to remain in full compliance with the standards set by the Board of Regents for the total state spending cut “These cuts have been made in such a way as to insure that students have the highest quality of education possible and the part-time jobs to help them to deal with the expense of going to school ' Dr, Appleberry said. “What little budget flexibility we might have had has now been eliminated, so now, it is our respon- sibility to go forward with constructive insight and a positive attitude. —by Kelly Hollstadt Budget Cuts +1 n Education I J Construction progresses Completion of science building lies in near future Carney Hall has left us and a new friend will be joining us where Carney once stood. The official start date of the new general science building was March 4, 1982, and is expected to be ready for full operation in the fall semester of 1984, according to Gary Carlat, director of Facilities Planning. We will probably begin to use the building prior to the 1984 fall semester of 1984, but it won't be used to its ful- lest capacity until then ' Carlat said. The total budget for the new building is $5,191,000, which includes construc- tion, architectural fees, various con- tingency money, survey fees and freight and travel expenses. The building will cover 62,000 gross feet upon its completion. According to Carlat, the bids for the new building are mechanical contract, electrical contract, general contract, and environmental contract. However, there were no bids accepted on the lab or moveable equipment. The lab equipment that is now in use in Bowen Hall and in the Science Annex will be moved to the new science building upon its completion, he said. The mechanical contracting bid was accepted from Owens Plumbing and Heating at $1,155,500, the electrical contracting bid was won by Amelco Construction at $379,550, the general contract was taken by Coonrod and Waltz at $3,095,765 and the en- vironmental controls contacting bid was given to Honeywell, Inc., at $34,197. Carlat said that these bids were the lowest ones made and considered, un- less any of the other bidders were un- qualified by the state of Kansas. The 61-year-old Carney Hall was tem- porarily closed November 29,1979, as a precautionary measure after deflec- tions of up to a quarter inch were detected in the building's structure, Carlat said. Previous periodic inspections, as far back as September 1977, had noted variations in room slope and indica- tions of exposed reinforcing steel. The doors were permanently closed after classes on November 28, 1978. An evaluation study of Carney, THE NEW SCIENCE building, soon to be named, is being constructed to take the place of Carney Hall. Workers hope to have the building completed and available for use by the spring of 1984. —photo by Steven Hauster prepared by William R, and Associates, indicated certain structural problems within the building. The area of greatest concern was located on the first floor in the northwest corner, where the structural floor slab had failed and was supported only by the reinforcing rods which were exposed on the bottom of the concrete floor joists. Plans to build the Science Annex, which now serves as temporary housing for many science courses, were being made even before it was known that Carney Hall would have to be torn down. The annex's original purpose was to be used as an extension facility for various projects conducted by the Vocational Technical Institute. Once surveyors informed PSU of- ficials that Carney could no longer be safely used as an instructional facility minimal plans were made for the biology and chemistry departments to move into the building with the begin- ning of the 1980 fall semester. According to Carlat, contracting for the annex included mechanical, electrical and general totaling $686,124. Plans are now being made to remodel both the Science Annex and Bowen Hall for other uses, Carlat said. We are planning to use the annex for cosmetology, drafting and electronics from the Vocational Technical institute and plans for Bowen include the possi- ble relocating of Campus Security, Continuing Education, Vocational Technical Education, the Kanza and Collegio offices, and the bio-feedback center. —by Kelly Hollstadt THE NEW SCIENCE building is scheduled for completion in the fall of 1984.

However, the handicapped students of Pittsburg State University consider these tasks as luxuries they're not as fortunate to have. During the past five years, the University's Office of Facilities Planning has been busy modifying the PSU campus in order to meet federal re- quirements, according to Gary Carlat, Facilities Planning director. The modifications have been made in accordance with section 504 of the federal register, which was written in 1977 as a result of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Section 504 states that no qualified handicapped person shall, because a recipient's facilities are inaccessible to or unusable by handicapped persons, be denied the benefits of, be excluded from participating in, or otherwise be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity to which this part applies. Although most of the changes have been made, there are still a few that, due to a lack of funds, need to be looked into. If there are to be more budget cuts, it may be difficult to obtain the neces- sary money to completely finish the project, Carlat said. Some of the additions and alterations still pending are an elevator in Russ hall, lower water fountains, lower work tables in Hartman Hall and a means of access to the north entrance of Chandler Hall. Dr. David Kendall, short term loan officer for the Office of Financial Aid, is the coordinater of the task force for specialized handicapped services. Dr. Kendall, a victim of multiple sclerosis, said that there are anywhere from six to eight disabled students on campus. Some of the changes that have been made in the past five years have been elevators, wheelchair lifts, curb cuts and access ramps. Special parking TEMPORARILY HANDICAPPED because of a fall, Betty Withrow, Chetopa junior, is able to use the wheelchair lift in Grubbs Hall instead of having to climb the stairs, — photo by Jo Black places have also been marked for these students, according to Dr. Kendall. Dr. Kendall added that if a disabled student has a class where access is not possible, the class will be moved. Situa- tions such as these are handled by Dr. Lee Christensen, registrar. Even those students who are tem- porarily handicapped due to an acci- dent or illness are not excluded from 58 Handicapped Students Facilities access to handicapped services. One advantage is that they can obtain a special parking permit through Dr. Kendall. Most of the students who use these special services feel they have provided a lot of helpful assistance. David Goodsel, a St. Paul senior who is confined to a wheelchair, said that everyone at PSU is very considerate. As an accounting major and having most of his classes in the one-floor Kelce building, Goodsel said that he has had only a few problems. He does have to go to Russ Hall occasionally and the stairs do prove to be an inconvenience with no access to an elevator. Goodsel said that concessions have been made for these situations and everything always seems to work out. The high water fountains don't really make a difference to Goodsel because I usually go to Hollywood's anyway ' he laughed. Paul Bone, a Girard sophomore who is also restricted to a wheelchair, has not been as lucky as Goodsel. Bone, who because of an accident, has no use of his hands or legs, uses braces and writes slowly. His main problem, he said, is in taking tests. It takes him much longer than the average person to complete them. If there are to be more budget cuts, it may be difficult to obtain the necessary money to completely finish the project. To Mark Webb, Kansas City, Kan., senior, accessibility is not a problem. Webb is nearly blind and uses a white cane as a guide. He encounters problems that are different from those of Bone or Goodsel. Webb's reading problem is remedied mostly by the use of taped textbooks that he orders on his own. He has his tests read to him. Although PSU is doing its best to cor- rect the physical barriers that a han- dicapped student must deal with, it can only do so much. Many of the barriers the handicapped must deal with are not so easily broken by the addition of a ramp or the lowering of a water foun- tain.—by Joanne Richter THE HASSLE OF making it to class on time is big enough, but for Karen Maloy, Howard freshman, crutches and slippery ice and snow create even more problems. —photo by Steven Hausler Handicapped Students Facilities Center is focal point Alumni relations are hidden assets 1 eople do not realize that there is an Alumni Center. Without this building, people wouldn't realize that the organization even exists. It's the focal point of the campus' Alumni Relations ' said Ken Bateman, director of the center. The alumni building was built and furnished through the contributions of the late Cecil and Eva Wilkinson. lt was a great gift to the University and its various organizations, Bateman said. Besides the tremendous task of keep- ing accurate computerized records of more than 30,000 Pittsburg State University graduates up to date, Bateman said that the center coor- dinates all donations made to the University. According to Rex Crowely, director of planned giving, the center has two organizations that deal with outside funds that PSU receives—the Alumni Foundation and the Endowment As- sociation. There is an annual fund drive for this foundation which begins in January. Of the money this fund receives, 60 percent is used for scholarships to be given by various schools throughout the University, Crowley said. The foundation's fund drive in 1982 raised a record $181,143.05, which sur- passed their initial goal of $150,000. In addition to its fund-raising ac- tivities, Bateman said that the Alumni Foundation's members also coordinate legislative liaison programs, the alumni records office, and student recruitment programs. The legislative liaison program is a 'grass roots' program that aids in in- creasing support from the Kansas State Board of Regents, the governor's office, and the state legislature, Bateman said. Student recruitment programs assist in educating and orienting students to their major area of study at PSU through tours of the campus and by reviewing the latest campus program information. The Endowment Association, sister fund-raiser in connection with the Alumni Foundation, deals primarily with the dominant gifts that the Univer- sity receives, which usually involve donations of a larger size and may be used for more individualized purposes, according to Bateman. The association received gifts and be- quests setting an all-time high last year of $765,589.

Crowley added that there is also an advanced gift section which includes a select group of 375 business firms, organizations and alumni, These people donate $100 or more in a five year period ' said Crowley. The major portion of last year's gifts was received from Gladys A. Kelce of Kansas City in the sum of $500,000. Ac- cording to Bateman, these funds are being used to complete the remodeling of the University's Gladys A. Kelce School of Business and Economics, which was named in her honor in 1974. Another of the center's accomplish- ments within the past few years has been the organization of the Student Advisory Board. The purpose of this board is to enable students to assist with large alumni activities, such as football, homecoming, and commencement, Bateman said. The Alumni Foundation Board, the center's members and all the volunteers who help us throughout each year are extremely pleased with the success of our efforts, and we are always equally grateful for the support provided by the Endowment Associa- tion and other gifts, said Crowley.—by Kelly Hollstadt Alumni Facilities JZ Any university campus wifi offer a variety of students—of this you can be sure. However, aside from various nationalities, races and cultures evident within college populations, there is one group of people that set themselves apart from the average college student. These people are what Pittsburg State University calls the non-traditional, ac- cording to Dr. Carmela San Diego, minority and non-traditional student counselor. Dr. San Diego said that most non- traditionais are between the ages of 30 and 40 and come from a variety of backgrounds. A non-traditional student is a person over the age of 25 who is return- ing to or just beginning a college education. Some have been in the ser- vice for many years and never had the chance to obtain a college degree ' Dr. San Diego said. Others are displaced homemakers that married right out of high school, raised a family and want to return to school in an attempt to add some meaning to their lives. Some are divorced and have been forced to come back in order to be able to get a job that pays well enough to raise a family on one income, she said. Considering the age difference between the non-traditional student and those entering college immediately after high school and the fact that for most non-traditionais some time has passed since they have been involved in an educational atmosphere, Dr. San Diego said that it can be a difficult ex- perience and some do have problems adjusting. The Counseling Center provides a variety of services that non-traditionais can use in helping them with some of the problems they face as a college student, Dr. San Diego said. Many feel insecure or have an un- bounded fear that often makes them wonder if they have made the right decision in attempting to get a degree or just simply finishing college. The center offers assessment testing which measures educational capability and personal interests. These types of tests are helpful in that they give us an idea of what areas the non-traditional will do well and which ones will best continued on page 164 STARTING COLLECE IN 1978, Glyncora Wilbur is a 66- year-old Pittsburg senior majoring in psychology.

The center also provides biofeedback training which allows the non- traditional to learn to deal with feelings of anxiety and nervousness. A lot of these students just need a friend to talk to that will give the con- fidence they need to carry out what they really want to do ' Dr. San Diego said. According to James Parker, director of Admissions, the entering of a non- traditional into the University and the orientation process is basically the same as that of the traditional student. In the 20 years that I have been working with admissions I have worked with non-traditionals almost every year. It really depends upon the individual as to what additional help we can give them ' Parker said. Their biggest question is if they are doing the right thing and our main con- cern is in reassuring them that they are, he said. Parker said that a few years ago ad- mission for special students was created which includes non- traditionals. This process of admission is somewhat of a shortcut for those stu- dents wanting to test the water, so to speak, he said. It is for non-degree bound students and we don't require any transcripts for admission. If, at any time, the student decides to get a degree we then ask for previous school records but none of the pre-testing, such as the ACT that incoming high school students take, is required. Jan Cashero, 37, who married right out of high school, raised a family and worked for about seven years, has returned to school in order to broaden her opportunities of advancement in the working world. After working on and off at dif- ferent jobs I've found that I don't have the education or qualifications to get a job that pays what I want, Cashero said. I've become bored with what I've been doing and my chances for ad- vancement and my personal interests are limited. Cashero has two daughters, ages 14 and 9, and said that even though work- ing part-time as a florist, taking care of the household and keeping up with school keeps her busy, she feels that college has opened her mind to many new things. I think it has actually brought my children closer to me. We get to spend a lot more time together because we do our homework together, which really helps our relationship, Cashero said. As for utilizing the Counseling Center, Cashero said that she is just now getting into the biofeedback program the center offers. I sometimes get headaches and, of course, I'm a little nervous and anxious about entering the University. But, hopefully, the biofeedback sessions will help me to deal with these feelings and recognize my tensions by determining what types of relaxation techniques will work best for me, she said.

According to James Parker, director of admissions, of the 5,438 students enrolled, 600 of them are transfer stu- dents. Parker said that the main sources of transfer students for PSU are various community colleges located in the southeast Kansas area. “We also get a sizeable number from northeast Oklahoma ' said Parker. Parker said that reasons for transferr- ing vary from individual to individual and range from having family or friends in the area to finding the best academic facilities for the student's major field. Scott Miller, a senior transfer from South Dakota State University, decided on PSU during his sophomore year because of the printing technology department. “The printing program at South Dakota was dying and since I've had two brothers who graduated from here, TALKING WITH JOHNSON County Community College students about transfering is James Parker, director of Admissions. Introducing prospective students to Pitt- sburg State University and the community is the major focus of Parker's job. —photo by Mark Story rri Transfer Students I flfl Npwrnmprs______ BARBARA BUTTERFIELD, assistant to the director of ad- missions, has her work cut out for her as she provides and explains a wide variety of information about Pitt- sburg State University to students from Johnson County Community College wanting to transfer, —photo by Mark Story I was able to find out a lot about it ' Miller said. Parker said that due to the many op- portunities PSU can offer, the pos- sibles of transferring become more attractive to the student. PSU has a technology department that is unique. For instance, the Univer- sity is the only one in the nation that has the accreditation needed to offer a four-year degree in plastics technology. It also offers degrees in electronics, manufacturing, and mechanical design. A piano technology program at Pitt- sburg State is the only one in the nation to offer a baccalaureate degree ' he said. It is not uncommon for a student to start in an area and find that they do not like it. The student may find that their original choice is not for them because it is too large or they had made a bad decision on what their major should be, he said. Roy Dodson, a transfer student from Fort Hays State University, Fort Hays, came to Pittsburg because he said, I wanted to learn. Before coming to PSU, I got to know the teachers too well, and they helped too much. I didn't feel as if I was learn- ing as much as I should have been. I didn't feel like I was improving any of my skills or knowledge ' he said. Money is often a factor in the deci- sion making process, according to Parker, PSU offers the lowest tuition for a four-year college or university in the state of Kansas. Carey Gillam, a transfer from the University of Kansas, Lawrence, said it got too expensive to live on my own in Lawrence. Living in Pittsburg and going to school has proved to be cheaper all around. Parker said that no matter what the reasons and no matter what the effect transferring has upon the individual, he feels students will continue to come and go. There are as many reasons as there are individuals and I think that PSU will continue to be attractive to area transfers not only because of its con- venient cost but also for its friendly en- vironment and unique academic facilities ' he said.—by Joanne Richter Transfer Students £ — Newcomers 10 Something for young anc Homecoming parade involves a variety of age Lined up down Broadway Street on a cold and chilly morning in October can be found a variety of individuals from the Pittsburg community and sur- rounding areas holding their own ex- pectations of the following hours—the annual Homecoming parade. From the ages of less than a year to those of 80 or more gather on the curb- side, in buildings of businesses and un- der the warmth of blankets and heavy winter coats to view the yearly spec- tacle of brightly decorated floats, cars and various novelty acts performed by people of the community, local area and Pittsburg State University. For many, the parade means many long weeks of fun but hard work before the big day in order to complete floats, find the right costumes or organize the entire event Many competitions are conducted for parade entries and to insure a win- ner's spot, the show must be excep- tional. The winners for last year's contests for novelty parade entry were Newman Club, third place; Alpha Gamma Delta, second place, and Sigma Sigma Sigma, first place. In the queen car competition, the Kansas Association of Nursing Students took fourth; Graphic Arts Club, third; Sigma Chi, second, and Newman Club placed first. For the queen float contest, the Vocational-Industrial Club of America took fourth; Alpha Sigma Alpha, placed third; Tau Kappa Epsilon and Sigma Sigma Sigma got second, and Alpha Gamma Delta and Lambda Chi Alpha took first. Novelty acts included everything from darkly painted smurf people to clowns with bightly painted faces. According to jack Overman, Student Union director, the novelty acts became a part of the Homecoming parade only about 10 years ago and are only one of many changes the event has undergone since its beginning, In about 1951 there was no real campus celebration. The community had what was called the Coal Festival which was a big fall event every year ' Overman said. Merchants would decorate all over town and it really was a mammoth celebration overall, he added. However, after WW II, the coal in- Homecoming Parade Homecoming old alike dustry around Pittsburg died down considerably, as did the Coal Festival. Overman said that at this point the president of the University and the community thought that together they should be able to come up with a similar celebration with both parties in- volved. By 1958-59, they had more than 72 bands with over 3,500 members and the whole thing lasted for as long as two hours ' Overman said.

It's something almost everyone looks forward to every year, Overman said.—by (acque Porter Gorillas tame Tigers, 37-15 Homecoming roust becomes Pitt State victory r he Homecoming football game capped the festivities for Homecoming Week as the ninth rated Pittsburg State University Gorillas routed the Fort Hays State Tigers 37-15. Homecoming Queen Vicki Mataraz- zi, Pittsburg senior presided over an ex- citing offensive victory for the national- ly ranked Gorillas. It was a cool clear fall afternoon as students, faculty and alumni gathered in Brandenburg Stadium for the annual Homecoming clash. Also present at the game were area bands who marched in the parade prior to the game and sup- plied the musical entertainment for the half-time show. The annual Homecom- ing game is the final event of Homecoming Week, and this year's game completed the week in style. Frankie McLaurin, Belton, Mo., senior, tied a school record with three interceptions in the contest. The record is now shared by Mark Kilgore, Rich- mond, Mo., senior, and Willie Fritz, a member of the 1981 Gorilla team and student coach for the '82 team. McLaurin was also named Central States intercollegiate Conference Defensive Player of the Week for his Homecoming game performance. McLaurin was glad about tying the interception record. I knew I was close to the record, but I didn't know I had it until after the game ' McLaurin said. The Gorilla offense dominated the first half as quarterback Nick Motosko, Youngstown, Ohio, senior, connected with Greg Cobble, Pratt junior, on a 44- yard touchdown pass play early in the first quarter. The defense responded with a touchdown of their own as Melvin Foxx, Pittsburg senior, intercepted the Tigers' first pass and ran it back for a touchdown. This was Foxx's first start for the year, and he proved he was the man for the job. Combined efforts by both the Gorilla offense and defense created three more touchdowns and one field goal for their final score. This was another explosive offensive effort engineered by first-year Offensive Coordinator Greg Lang. Lang played college football in the National Association of Intercol- legiate Athletics at William Penn Col- lege under former PSU Head Coach Ron Randleman, alongside Bruce Polen, current PSU head coach. Lang had been coaching at Missouri Western State College, St, Joseph, Mo., a CSIC foe, for the 1981-82 season.

With two seconds remaining in the first half, Bill Antonisse, Tulsa, Okla,, freshman, booted a 31-yard field goal ending the first half and the Gorilla scoring for the game. In the second half, the Gorillas gave up one touchdown in each quarter. The Tigers were successful on a two- point conversion attempt in the fourth quarter. Polen was excited about the victory over Fort Hays, but was worried about the lack of offense in the second half. 'Tm excited about beating a team like Hays ' Polen said. But, I'm sur- prised at the way Fort Hays played and the way we held them. Before the game against Pitt State, the Tigers had been rated near the top of NAIA passing statistics.

I think it's a great honor to be able to represent Pittsburg State University and the Newman Club in such a way. I'm really excited and it was all such a surprise, Matarazzi said. I never real- ly thought that I would be named the Homecoming queen, even after they announced my name among the five finalists, I thought for sure one the of the other girls would win. Nine judges, consisting of four stu- dents, two alumni, and three members of the faculty or administration, were nominated by each organization, ac- cording to Steve McLaughlin, assistant director of Student Affairs. Not only do organizations put up nominations for queen, but they also have the opportunity to, more or less, choose the people they would like to have on the judging committee, McLaughlin said. The first meeting of a three part series between the candidates and the judges committee began four days before the convocation announcement of the queen, according to McLaughlin. Groups of three candidates met with each judge for 10 minutes just so they could get acquainted with each other, he said. Next, the candidates were each re- quired to answer two questions before an audience and the judges panel. One question was given to them prior to the competition and the other was drawn from a hat just before the candidate was to appear on stage.

Organizations take part in Yell-Like-Hell little bit of talent and a lot of gutsy individuals made up the organizational entries for the annual Homecoming Yell-Like-Hell and Pyramid-building Contest. Each entry was required to perform a chant, a skit if the group wanted to, and some type of pyramid for the panel of judges. The skits proved to be the most en- joyable for the entire audience as well as for the organizations performing them. Skit topics ranged from a human demonstration of the popular Pac-Man video game to a chant sung by students acting as the cartoon characters from the cast of 'Tat Albert. A lot of the campus groups went all out with creatively made costumes and lavishly applied make-up but also pre- sent were the casually comfortable ones who participated in everything from sweats and tennis shoes to jeans and cowboy hats. In previous Yell-Like-Hell competi- tions, there were only three places available for winners. However, last year, the groups were still limited to either all male or all female partici- pants, but there were three places available for both men and women. In the men's competition, Lambda Chi Alpha placed third; Concerned Black Students, second, and the Newman Club, first. For women, Sigma Sigma Sigma came in third; Fellowship of Christian Athletes, second, and Alpha Gamma Delta, first. According to Linda Grilz, one of the judges for the Yell-Like-Hell and Pyramid-building Contest, each par- ticipating group was judged on audience participation, originality of both pyramid and chant or skit and whether or not the group held the pyramid for the required time of at least five seconds.

'The acts also usually go pretty quickly so you really have to pay atten tion in order to get a good idea of what the organizations are trying to do. She added that the pyramid portion of the contest was fairly easy to judge due to the fact that they were more visual. I think that with the addition of two first place winners—one for female groups and one for male groups—the contest was a lot more fair and even for everyone involved ' she said. Grilz added that being a judge for the previous contest gave her a little more insight on what to look for and what it takes to make as fair a decision as possi- ble. It's always a lot of fun for everyone including the judges.

Pitt State shared the title with Kearney State College, Kearney, Neb,, the only team in the conference to defeat the Gorillas and one of only two teams that defeated them overall. The Gorillas were led by first-year Head Coach Bruce Polen, defensive coordinator and successor to former coach Ron Randleman. The '82 season began the same way the '81 season ended—with the Gorillas rated second in the National Associa- tion for Intercllegiate Athletics poll behind Elon College, Elon, N.C. Elon defeated Pitt State 3-0 in the 1981 NAIA championship game. Gorilla Fever was high as the team began its pre-season workouts and prepared for the home opener against the Lincoln University Blue Tigers of Jefferson City, Mo. The Gorillas had an extra week to prepare for Lincoln, because of a nine- game schedule rather than the usual 10 games. Our main concern Polen said, is to make sure our players do not become complacent. Since we have a national reputation, everyone will be gunning for us. It will be hard to keep up 10 weeks. Members of the squad were also confident of their ability, but cautious of the upcoming season. The Gorillas opened up their season with a 43-0 rout over Lincoln. The Gorillas dominated the offensive and defensive phases of the game. Led by quarterback Nick Motosko, Youngstown, Ohio, senior, the Gorillas rolled to 407 yards of total offense. After Motosko had a first half hamstr- ing pull, reserve quarterback Danny Davenport, Girard senior, engineered two second half touchdowns. The defensive unit, led by Jeff Dino McLeod, Miami, Fla,, senior,, forced several turnovers setting up of- fensive scoring drives. The next game, in Rolla, was a dif- ferent story. The situation looked good in the early moments as the defense opened the scoring with a safety. However, the Miners were not the Blue Tigers of the week before. Rolla defeated Pitt State 21-9. After a one-game layoff and two weeks of practice, the Gorillas were prepared to take on the hard-hitting Hornets of Emporia State University.

On the first play from scrim- mage, Washburn's Wes Warrick took a pitch out and ran 80 yards for a touchdown. To this, Pitt State responded by roll- ing over Washburn with 321 yards on the way to a 38-14 victory.

The Wildcats were easy prey, as the Gorillas scored all 28 points in the first half. The defense was alive again as they forced several turnovers and gave up only one touchdown, which came in the fourth quarter. The Gorillas traveled to Nebraska again the next week to take on the always tough Kearney State Antelopes. At stake was the number seven rating by the NAIA. For the first time of the season, the Gorillas were shut out as Kearney won; 13-0. The defense held tough again only giving up two field goals and one touchdown. Pitt State coaches cited the play of continued on page 178 Football Season —7 Sports I Football Season continued from page 177 the defense in the Kearney game, and the inability of the offense to score as the determining factors for the loss.

Missouri Western State College, St. Joseph, was the final opponent Pitt State faced in the '82 season. Both teams had hoped to keep the ball on the ground, but were forced to take to the air as defenses keyed on each others' running games. The Gorillas came out ahead in the aerial attack, 28-20. The Gorillas were idle the final week of the NAIA season. The weekend was spent by Pitt State coaches monitoring games of teams in the NAIA top-10, hoping for a chance in the playoffs.

That's right—7-22, Because of the Dunkel Ratings, the ability of the Goril- las to stay in the game most of the time gave them an advantage over teams with better records. The Dunkel Ratings is a power ratings system used by the NAIA as the playoff season approaches. The ratings aid the NAIA in seeding the teams for the tour- nament. The ratings take into con- sideration the closeness of the game, opponents played and whether the game is played at home or on the road. Before the season started, Head Coach John Hickman said, This year's team will not be as fast (as last year's), but they will be better fundamentally ' Gone from last year's team were Chuckie Allen, Derek Thomas, and Tommy Saunders. The three players decided not to return to PSU for various reasons. Hickman's goal before the season was to improve as a team and be ready for the Central States Intercollegiate Conference race. The Gorillas dropped the first three games of the season, then bounced back with three straight victories bring- ing their record to 3-3. This was the closest the Gorillas would come to .500 ball for the season. The game after coming back to 3-3 was an overtime loss to Drury College, Springfield, Mo. The most exciting game before the Christmas break was the 70-60 upset over the arch-rival Missouri Southern State College Lions in Joplin, Mo, The Lions were the coaches' pre- season pick for CSIC champions, while GORILLA FORWARD Mike Martin, Peoria, III, senior, crashes the boards against the Fort Hays State Tigers. The Tigers edged past Pitt State with a score of 56-51. — photo by Steven Hausler 180 Men's Basketball Sports the Gorillas were picked for seventh. In spite of the loss of some of last year's team, Hickman remained confi- dent in those returning to Pitt State as well as some newcomers. Mike Martin, Peoria, III,, senior; Mark Mann, Wichita senior; Barry O'Brien, Louisburg junior, and Des- mond Watson, Kansas City, Ks., senior formed the nucleus of the 1982-83 team. Hickman was counting on perfor- mances by Eric Carr, Joplin, Mo., sophomore, and Steve Smith, Independence, Ks., senior, to rotate as the fifth man. The Gorillas were plagued by a lack of consistency throughout the season. During the Christmas break, the Goril- las dropped six straight games. Hickman cited the lack of scoring as the main problem. The Gorillas were averaging 59 points per game before the CSIC race. Hickman said the defensive play kept the Gorillas alive in several games. As the CSIC race progressed, the team shooting percentage increased, but the Gorillas still could not manage to win. The Gorillas posted a 2-12 record in the CSIC. Three teams in the CSIC were rated in the NAIA top 20—Fort Hays State University, Missouri Western State Col- lege, St. Joseph, Mo., and MSSC. In the six games against these oppo- nents, the Gorillas lost to Hays in Hays, 83-67, and lost to them in Pittsburg in a close 56-51 contest. Against MWSC, the Gorillas lost the first one in Pittsburg in a 71-68 overtime game, and lost the se- cond 65-61 in St. Joseph, Mo. The Goril- las took the first game against MSSC 70- 60 and lost the second one in Pittsburg in a 64-60 overtime game. It was this ability of the Gorillas to play the close games that kept them alive in the Dunkel Ratings. Playoff hopes materialized as the season wound down. Throughout the season, Hickman cited the ability of his bench to come in and play well as a factor in the closeness of the games. Hickman's style of free substitution enabled his players to come into the game often and stay fresh and rested during the contest.

None of these players, however, remained consistent throughout the season. The team finished the season with a 60 point per game scoring average, one of the problems Hickman alluded to earlier in the season. The major factor in getting the Goril- las into post season action was their ability to stay in the game. The oppo- nents of the Gorillas averaged 63 points per game. In 12 of the Gorillas losses, the win- ners' margin of victory was five points or less. Hickman cited the consistent defensive ability of the Gorillas as a fac- tor in holding the opponent scores down. The fundamentals Hickman stressed in the earlier part of the season paid off overall for the Gorillas. Pitt State out rebounded its opponents 163-131 and had less turnovers throughout the season. Hickman said that the play of regulars Mann, Martin, O'Brien and Watson on a regular basis was a great team asset. One of the bright spots to come off the bench was the play of freshman guard Kevin Ludwig of Overland Park. Ludwig came off the bench with some key outside shots to keep the Gorillas in the overtime contest against MSSC. Carr, Tim Calvin, Wellton, Ariz., freshman, Kyle Folkerts, Bentonville, Ark., junior and Jeff Pettz, Deerfield senior, also added to the Gorilla bench play. In non-conference action before Christmas break, Willie Crowley, Deland, Fla., senior, started for the Gorillas. Crowley also played football last fall, and had to give up basketball in order to maintain his eligibility to play football again this fall. Before the final two games, the Goril- las knew their hopes for playoffs depended on winning their final two games and Benedictine College of Atchison losing their final two.

The Gussies earned an at-large berth and were seeded sixth in the district playoffs based on the Kansas Rating System Index. For Head Coach Barb Crill and her team, this berth meant a chance to get into the National Association for Inter- collegiate Athletics' women's tourna- ment at Kemper Arena in Kansas City, Mo.

The inconsistent play of the Gussies before break had Crill worried as CSIC action approached. The non- conference record for the Gussies was 3-6. As the CSIC season progressed, the Gussies improved their record, but were unable to maintain consistency in their games. Defense was usually good. It was the offense that was sporadic. There were often several minutes of scoreless basketball or lack of basic ability. In one game, the Gussies missed seven con- secutive lay-ups. Near the end of the season, consis- tent team scoring became a positive factor as the Gussies won five straight to finish the season. They finished the season 14-11 overall and 9-5 on the CSIC.

However, for Dave Suenram, Pitt State men's track coach for 16 years, this happened when he was named PSU's athletic director last January. In making the announcement, University President James Appleberry praised SuenrarrTs coaching abilities and involvement in athletic scholarship drives. Suenram, who had been the Men's Athletic Coordinator since 1977, said his greatest challenge in the new posi- tion would be to continue to secure financial security for the Pitt State athletic department. The position became vacant at the end of the summer in 1982 when Dr. Bill Dickey, former director, informed Dr. Appleberry of his intentions to resign. Dr. Dickey will remain as chairman of the Health, Physical Education and Recreation Department and will return to teaching. Dr. Dickey had previously expressed his wishes to Dr. Appleberry of con- centrating on administration, the cur- riculum and other aspects within the athletic department. Dr. Appleberry then named Bill Hol- lenbeck, special assistant to the presi- dent, to succeed Dr. Dickey. The next day, Dr. Appleberry recalled Hol- lenbeck's appointment because the position had been filled without going through a proper search for a replace- SIXTEEN-YEAR TRACK and field and cross country coach Dave Suenram was appointed as the new athletic direc- tor last last January after former director, Bill Dickey, resigned the position to return to teaching. —photo by jo Black ment. According to school regulations, an announcement of a job vacancy must be made in order to give all interested parties a chance to apply. It was also decided by Dr. Appleberry to fill the athletic director's position from within the University, rather than create a new position. Dr. Dickey remained the athletic director until Suenram was named as his replacement. A search committee was first formed in November of 1982 and the deadline for applications was set for Dec. 16, 1982. There were two applicants—Suenram and Bob Johnson, an instructor in the physical education department and former head basketball coach. The committee reviewed the applica- tions over the Christmas break and in- terviewed the applicants shortly after the spring semester began. The com- mittee then gave its recommendation to Dr. Appleberry who made the final decision. Suenram was a member ot the 1953- 56 championship track teams, graduated in 1957 and became a graduate assistant coach. After doing graduate work at Northern Illinois University and Indiana University, he returned to PSU as the head track and cross-country coach. Suenram's track teams have con- sistently been among the top-10 in the National Association for Intercollegiate Athletics and finished second in the NAIA national meet last year in Charleston, W. Va. Suenram has also received eight coaching awards, including Area III Track Coach of the Year in 1982. Coaching the track and cross country teams and teaching his class on track theory will still be on Suenram's list of duties. As director, he will also be in charge of administration of intercol- legiate games, the scheduling of athletic facilities, and budgeting. Suenram realizes he has people help- ing him, but he also knows he is ul- timately responsible.

One of Suenram's biggest concerns is revitalizing the scholarships for athletes to keep up with increases in tuition.

Suenram said he is excited about his new position and he feels he has the experience in athletics and administra- tion to keep PSU competitive athletical- ly- He added that to him, an athletic director's greatest responsibility is to challenge his staff so as to insure that we are getting the best possible programs for our young people. —by Mark Braun Athletic Director q Sports I O. 190 Polen-New Position Sports Polen replaces Randleman Football coaching transition proves successful New Pittsburg State University Head Football Coach Bruce Polen had a deci- sion to make in February of 1982. It took just over two weeks as defensive coordinator at Sam Houston State University in Texas, but he finally elected to return to Pittsburg to take the position at the helm of the Gorilla squad. Polen followed former PSU coach Ron Randleman to Texas when Randleman was offered the head coaching job at SHS. Randleman and Polen had collaborated in building a 36-25-2 record at Pitt State since 1976. But Polen decided to leave Randleman at Sam Houston just 17 days after taking the job to assume the head coaching position at PSU. He cited dis- THERE ARE MANY facets of coaching that Head Football Coach Bruce Polen has obviously managed well throughout his first season as head coach for the Pitt State Gorillas.

Of his return Polen said that he was glad he went to Texas but he felt as if he would have had doubts about not staying on in Pittsburg. As one of his first official decisions at Pittsburg State, Polen named Greg Lang to the position of offensive coor- dinator. Lang played under Randleman at William Penn College, in Oskaloosa, Iowa, was a graduate assistant at Pitt State during the 1978 season and has had previous experience as an assistant coach at Missouri Western State Col- lege, St. Joseph, Mo. Polen returned to take over a squad that featured no less than six returning starters to a nationally-ranked defense, and six starters to the offense. The Gorillas featured four All- Americans in 1982, two of which returned to Polen's squad—offensive tackle Tom Stringer, Topeka junior, and cornerback John Pringle, Miami, Fla., junior. In April of 1982, Polen made his coaching debut with the Gorillas as he led his varsity to a 30-0 shellacking of the alumni squad at the conclusion of spring practice. Polen was extremely pleased with the squad's overall performance. Coach Lang and Bill Samuels, defensive line coach, are doing a super job and I am very pleased with the offense ' he said. We hit a lot more this spring, Polen added. I believe in hitting and that is no surprise to anyone. We got a couple of people hurt, but we are pleased with the way that spring training went, he said. And hitting was exactly what the Gorillas displayed when the season began in earnest. Even when the of- fense didn't click according to traditional Pitt State standards (for- tunately, that wasn't often) the defense held tough. Although the Gorillas didn't make it to the National Association of Intercol- legiate Athletics playoffs in Polen's first year, they tied for the Central States Intercollegiate Conference crown by losing only one conference game en route to a 7-2 overall record. In addition, Polen was named CSIC Coach of the Year at a league ceremony at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo. Not a bad record for a first-year head coach —by Allen Edmonds Polen-New Position q i Sports I J I ? Of f -rAe� Injuries plague runners Cross country team record for year suffers Head Cross Country Coach Dave Suenram knew that his 1982 team would not have the experience that blessed the runners of the year before. But dealing with the lack of experience is nothing new to the coaching profes- sion; it is one thing that is constant. In- juries, which often strike with the quickness of an unseen snake, can never really be allowed for. To begin the season, the men's cross country roster contained 12 names. By the time of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics' championship contest in November, the Pitt State team consisted of only seven runners. Suenram said that late in the season it got to a point where he was frightened that injuries would take what was left of the team. The season started for Pitt State on Sept. 17, in the Wichita State In- vitational. Phil Minton, Pittsburg junior, pulled off a fifth-place finish with the time of 25:11—just 17 seconds behind the individual winner of the meet. The Gorillas finished sixth overall. I was real pleased with that perfor- RECEIVING AN indication from a team supporter that he has taken first place is Phil Minton, Nevadea, Mo., junior.

SACK ROW: Bob Oliva, Rodney Murrow, Phil Minton, Willie Walsh, —photo courtesy of Public Affairs and Information mance, said Suenram. Minton ran an especially strong race in good competi- tion. Although Suenram was happy with the team's first meet, he knew that ex- perience would continue to be the team's major adversary. But, he felt that two freshmen, Michael Lupini of Neosho, Mo., and Rodney Murrow of Gardner, had taken steps in the right direction. The following week, on Sept. 24, Pitt State hosted Emporia State University, the Central States Intercollegiate Conference team. Minton once again ran well, but this time finished first. The team took the first seven places and won the meet 15-50—the best score possible in dual competition. On Oct. 9, Pitt State hosted Southwest Missouri State University in a dual meet. Minton was the overall win- ner of the competition with a personal best time of 24:27. Minton's win paced the Gorillas to a 26-30 victory. Suenram saw the meet as the best his team had ran that season and said that what impressed him was the placing of the rest of the team. I'm pleased with everyone's perfor- mance, he said after the meet. Our third, fourth, fifth, and sixth men ran close together and that's what we wanted to do. By mid October, Pitt State had only three meets remaining until the District X Championships at Winfield. In the Southwest Missouri State Invitational at Springfield, Mo., the Gorillas finished first. They also won their own in- vitational on Oct. 23 and were later ranked 15th in the nation. One week later Pitt State won the Southwest In- vitational. Though the team was cut by injuries, it had jumped in the national ratings to number eight the week of the District X Championship. Pitt State won the meet by topping Southwestern College by eight points. Their next competition was the NAIA national meet in Kenosha, Wis. I thought that if we ran great at the nationals we would finish in the top 10—if we ran so-so, the top 15. We finished 27th, said Suenram. It was really a let down for us. Suenram said that there were two reasons for the low finish of his Pitt State runners. One was the inexperience of our team. Out of seven, only two had ran in national competiton before, Suenram said. That brought about some ner- vousness. The second thing was that our number one runner, Phil, was tired. He was just worn out. I was afraid, after the injuries early in the season, that we wouldn't have enough people healthy to make up a team. Thinking this, we may have stop- ped working hard too early and peaked before we wanted to. When we have problems like this, they seem to come out during the nationals. —by Burl Powell Brains and brawn Athletic students make Academic rating 11 is said that brains and brawn don't mix, and that college athletes are, by and large, content to let four years of Variations on Dribbling Technique, I through IV, suffice for an university curriculum—as long as they make prac- tice on time. But, two Pittsburg State University students have shattered that image with appointments to the National Associa- tion of Intercollegiate Athletics' Academic All-American list. Gayla Rothers, a Gardner junior ma- joring in Medical Technology; and Chuck Lunn, a Kansas City senior with a major in Pre-med, were the recipients of the award last year. Rothers is one of only 23 NAIA cross- country runners in the nation to receive the honor and Lunn is the only NAIA noseguard in the nation to be named to the list being as the football selection is based on position. There were also numerous PSU stu- dent athletes named to the Central States Intercollegiate Conference's Academic All-Conference Squad. Applicants for the All-American honor had to have been in the last two semesters prior to graduation from their respective programs with a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.5. However, as Dr. Tom Bryant, profes- sor of health, physical education and recreation and faculty athletic representative, pointed out, That doesn't mean GPA alone will get it. They have to be a good player to begin with, he said. In fact, that's the first consideration. Rothers was also named Athletic All- American on the PSU cross-country team, and Lunn received the same honor for his performance as noseguard on the Gorilla football squad. Rothers has accumulated a 3.68 GPA in the Medical Technology program. She has been accepted to the Kansas City School of Medical Technology and will begin there with the start of the 1983 fall session. During her Pitt State career, Rothers was named Cross Country All- American by finishing in the top 25 at the national race, Indoor Track All- American twice by placing in the top six in her event in two years at the national level and Outdoor Track All-American again with a top six finish in national competition. It's probably the best award that a person can receive, said Rich Hol- lingsworth, women's track coach. It combines what happens in the classroom with what happens on the field. If someone has a 4.0 GPA straight through, but is on the third team, they're not going to make it, Hol- lingsworth added. Head Football Coach Bruce Polen felt Academic All-Americans Sports SHOWING HIS ABILITY not only In the classroom, but also on the football field is Academic All-American and defensive lineman Chuck Lunn (70), Kansas City senior. Luno attempts to stop a Fort Hays Tiger runner while Paris Long (99), Ottawa senior, charges from the right to help out. —photo by |o Black that Lunn's multiple responsibilities qualified him well for the award, also. We're all very, very proud of Chuck and his accomplishments, Polen said. On top of being a football player and a Pre-med student, he was also a cap- tain this year, which amounts to a lot of esponsibility in itself. A captain has to talk to the younger players, and help them feel more comfortable with the program. I think Chuck, without a doubt, ex- emplifies an All-American. If anyone meets the qualifications, he does, Polen added. He's got four years of an excellent GPA in a field that's not too easy to go into. The Academic All-American selec- tion for fall sports encompassed only the sports of football, men's cross- country and women's cross-country, while the spring selection dealt with men's and women's basketball, men's and women's track, and women's soft- continued on page 196 Academic All-Americans Sports All-Americans continued from page 195 ball. The process begins with a meeting of the respective coaches, the faculty athletic representative and the athletic director. After deciding whether or not a player merits consideration as an Academic All-American from both an athletic and academic standpoint, the names are sent to an NA1A committee. This committee then reviews all ap- plicants and decides on the final list of recipients. There were also several Academic All-Conference selections from the Gorilla football squad. Danny Davenport, Girard senior, made the list with a 3.73; Todd Butler, Kansas City, Mo., senior, had a 3.56, and Steve Seeley, Adrian, Mo., senior, made it with a 3,34. For the Academic All-Conference, we aren't concerned with athletic accomplishments—just academic per- formance, Dr. Bryant said. in the conference selections, the faculty athletic representatives from the nine member schools of the Central States Intercollegiate Conference met to decide on guidelines for selection and their final draft was approved by the institutions' presidents. The names of those approved were then submitted to the CSIC commis- sioner who released the final list of names. The process is conducted in both the fall and spring semesters. With college athletics seemingly in an era of reducing the emphasis on classwork—supposedly for the good of the team— Pitt State can proudly point to the list of academic achievements by Gorilla athletes, PSU has proven that it is possible to emphasize academics, and still produce winners on the athletic field, as evidenced by the 17-4 football record of the past two years and the strong national men's and women's cross- country team performances. These are all very exceptional athletes, as well as students ' Dr. Bryant said. I think that is very commendable. —by Allen Edmonds ACADEMIC ALL-AMERICAN Gayla Rot hers, Gardner senior, combines a good GPA with outstanding athletic ability at Pitt State.

The season started for the Gussies with a sixth place finish in the third an- nual Gussie Invitational last fall. The 12 participating teams were divided into two pools of six teams each. Pitt State won their first match of the tournament by defeating Southwestern Baptist College. After that, the Gussies didn't win again until the final match of the tournament with a victory over Bethany College. The Gussies lost to Evangel College, Springfield, Mo., Central Missouri State University, Warrensburg, Missouri Southern State College, Joplin, and split with Southwestern College to finish the tournament with a 2-3 record. The next week the Gussies traveled to Missouri Southern to take part in the MSSC Invitational. Their record for the tournament was 1-3, which brought their record to 5-5 on the season. The next week looked better for the Gussies, they started out with a triangular at home against Drury Col- lege, Springfield, Mo., Tulsa University and Baker University. Their only loss in the contest was to Drury. Last September, with the opening of the CSIC matches, the Gussies traveled to Wayne, Neb., to compete against conference foes Washburn University, Fort Hays State University and host team Wayne State University. The Gussies defeated Washburn in the first match 15-7,15-11 and 15-7, but lost to FHSU in four games 13-15, 8-15, 16-14 and 14-16. The final match was against Wayne, whom the Gussies defeated quite easily in three games 15- 4, 15-12 and 15-4. The next tournament for the Gussies was in Maryville, Mo., home of the Northwest Missouri State University Bearcats. The team did not fair too well.

The team traveled to Fort Hays for the District X meet last November In their first match against Friends Univer- sity, the Gussies chalked up two straight games 15-6 and 15-3. In the next two matches, the Gussies were defeated by Bethel College, 13-15 and 13-15; and Benedictine College 14- 16 and 13-15. But they got back onto the winning side by defeating Sterling College in five games 10-15,5-15,15-12, 15-13 and 15-10. In the final match of the tournament against the Fort Hays Tigers, the Gussies saw defeat in three games at 9-15, 13-15 and 4-15. The rest of the season the Gussies played well, but not good enough to get them above the five hundred mark. The Gussies finished the regular season with an overall record of 18-21, a CSIC record of 6-8 and a 56-60 record in total games. The Gussies landed one player on the second team All-CSIC and one on the Honorable Mention teams. Cindy Hey, McCune senior, made the second team while Shelly Gerber, Kansas City senior, made honorable mention. 1 was really disappointed in some aspects of this season, but pleased with others. Once we got our offense stabalized, I saw lots of improvement in our team play ' said Dr. Joan War- rington, director of Women's Athletics. Hey was also nominated for the National Association for Intercolligate Athletes for her performance on the court. She was 11th in service points, 12th in block points, 2nd in kill points and 11th in total points in the CSIC. Cindy is an all-around athlete. She can do just about anything while out there on the court. She has the ability to hit the ball and put it away. The best thing about it all is that Cindy still has two years of eligibility left, Dr. War- rington said.

Ortolani did not plan to become an athletic trainer when he started at- tending college at Pitt State. But, in 1948 he broke his neck while playing half- back for the Gorillas and was in a coma for five days. After 1 broke my neck in '48 and I got out of the hospital I knew that I wouldn't be able to play sports anymore. So, I decided to go to Colum- bia University and work on my doc- torate degree, when Tow Diehm, the athletic trainer then and the head athletic trainer at the University of New Mexico now, talked me into staying at Pitt State and becoming a student trainer. Diehm knew that I was missing the game and that this was probably the closest I would come to actually playing the game so he got me to become a stu- dent trainer, said Ortolani. In 1954 Ortolani took his appren- ticeship to become an athletic trainer and then, in 1955, he was hired as a graduate assistant in the athletic train- ing department of Pitt State. One year later, he became the head trainer and has held that position ever since. In 1957, Ortolani took the National Athletic Trainers Association Certifica- tion Test, which is required of all trainers, before they are allowed to make any judgements on their own. Along with his training duties, Or- tolani took over the head baseball coaching job from 1962-65. It really didn't hurt the training job because baseball was played during the spring and we didn't have spring foot- ball or any other major sport going on then so I wasn't needed as much as I was during the fall when football was taking place, he said. In 1965, Ortolani was named the National Association of Intercollegiate HAVING A GOOD rapport with his athletes, Al Ortolani, head athletic trainer, and his daughter, Dianna, an assis- tant to Ortolani, stop to shoot the breeze with Brent Smotherman, Ojai, Calif., senior, -photo by Jo Black Athletes' Coach of the Year in Area III baseball. During his baseball coaching career Ortolani only had one player make it big in the majors from Pitt State. That person being pitcher Steve Mingori, who was drafted by the Cincinnati Reds and played his final years with the Kansas City Royals. Ortolani's biggest thrill as an athletic trainer came in 1973 when he was selected as a trainer for the 1973 World University Games, which were being held in Moscow. This was such a big thrill for me because they only picked five trainers to take part in the games—two from the National Collegiate Athletic Associa- tion, one from the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletes, one from the National Junior College Assocation and one from the National High School Association. So, out of 535 NAIA institutions, of which only 77 have a full-time head athletic trainer, I was picked to be the one to represent the NAIA in the games, said Ortolani. In 1976, he was selected to be a trainer for the United States Olympic team that competed in Montreal, Canada. He worked with track and field com- petitors for three days then went to Greco style wrestling and Judo, then to the roller hockey competition. While at the Montreal Olympics he supervised the training of such athletes as Bruce Jenner, gold medalist in the decathlon, Sugar Ray Leonard, gold medalist in boxing, and the Spinks brothers who also were in the boxing competition, just to name a few. Ortolani has also been the trainer for the 1977 National Swim Team that toured Europe, the 1978 Amateur Athletic Union National Swim Team that participated in the Girls Cup games at Brown University in Providence, R.I., the AAU National Swim Team that competed against the Russians in Austin, Tex., and the AAU National Swim Team that competed in the World Championship in Berlin, Germany. Ortolani has worked with such inter- nationally known swimmers as Tracy Caulkins, John Nabors, Sue Walsh and Rowdy Gaines. He also took part in the USA Olympic Sports Festival in Colorado Springs, Colo., in 1978. And he was the USA trainer for athletes preparing for the 1980 Olym- pics that were held in Moscow. However, the U.S. did not compete because of the boycott President Carter put on the games due to the invasion of continued on page 202 3E- )FING around Ortolani said nna.

Even though the team did not com- pete in the games that summer, every team member was invited to the White House to meet the president who presented each of them with a gold medal ' Ortolani said. I would have liked to have been in Moscow at the time, rather than Washington, D.C., but things like that happen. In 1981, he was the head trainer for the World University Games in Bucharest, Romania, and in 1982, he was selected as the head trainer for the U.S. National Swim Team that com- peted at the Speedo-Arena Meet, which was held in France and Holland. Most recently, Ortolani was selected to travel to Borlange, Sweden, with 12 swimmers that are hopefuls for the 1984 Summer Olympics, to compete along with 26 other countries. The meet lasted three days and then after that we traveled into Bonn, West Germany and toured quite a few places and met lots of different people. When we traveled into East Ger- many we were unable to wear any clothing that had USA inscribed on it while in the public because of the political uprising between us and them, Ortolani said. Last April, he was appointed to the United States Sports Medicine Council which was formed to aid the USA swim- ming program. “Our swimming program this year is stronger than it's been in a long time. One of the purposes of the commit- tee is to aid American swimmers both physiologically and psychologically. Swimmers have a great deal of stress to deal with and we set up research programs to help them cope with the physical and mental stress that their sport puts on them, he said. Our swimming program this year is stronger than it's been in a long time. Swimming is the hardest sport to train for. They need a program to train in just as the athletes in other sports are given, Ortolani said. Ortolani's daughter, Dianna, a sophomore, has also become a student trainer and helps her father out both in the training room and on the field. OVER THE YEARS, A! Ortolani, head athletic trainer, has collected memorabilia from all over the world. One of his most prized possessions is a 1980 Olympic gold medal presented to him by President Carter at the White House, —photo by Jo Black My first choice is to become a nurse, but I would like to tie my nursing career into athletic training somehow, she said. Dianna has been accepted to Nursing school at Pitt State starting next year and she hopes that she will be able to continue to be a student trainer under her father's supervision. Dr. Bill Dickey, Health, Physical Education and Recreation chairman, feels that Ortolani handles his profes- sion very well and is proud of his ac- complishments as a trainer at Pitt State. He is also a really great guy, even though he's a bad gambler and tells some really bad jokes sometimes, Dr, Dickey said. It seems that this is the popular opi- nion of a majority of the athletic department faculty because most of those who work at the Weede seem to think that a day without Al in the gym is like a morning without orange juice.— by Brian Davis AFTER SERVING 28 years as head athletic irainer at Pitt State, Al Ortolani has seen many changes take place in the athletic department. Ortolani said that he loves Pitt- sburg and he will never leave Pitt State for another job. —photo by Steven Hausler Ortoiani Sports ZUj Competing for fun Intramurals provide leisurely recreation Intramural athletics could well be termed as a’ last chance for many high school gridiron and hardwood stars who simply didn't have the talent or the desire to make the cut in the high pressure world of intercollegiate athletics. As the letter jackets are covered with plastic and hidden away in the back of some closet, many former prep athletes go through a kind of withdrawal period—and college intramural programs provide a final outlet to carry the athlete through the transition between the teen years and the adult world. Intramurals don't just serve the former stars, though. The program also allows those who choose to participate in sports for pure relaxation the chance to do so in an organized fashion. Intramural athletics at Pittsburg State University include not only the staples—football, basketball and soft- ball, but also such specialized sports as swimming, archery, tennis, track and field, golf, racquetball, wrestling, arm wrestling and weightlifting. Participation in these events gives the student a chance for personal recogni- tion, and also opportunity to gain points for his or her organization. This year the dorms all participated in the intramural program, as well as each of the greek organizations, and various clubs such as the Fellowship of Chris- tian Athletes, the Newman Center, the Society of Automotive Engineers, the Vocational Industry Club of America and others. In addition to recognized clubs, the students could also band together to form independent organizations to participate in certain sports. One such independent organization took the All-University Championship last fall in football. Kerry Sachetta, Columbus senior and former All-state quarterback, fired a five-yard touchdown pass to Daryl Mobley, Rivera Beach, Fla., junior, for the only score of the game as Pepper and Salt took the championship with a 7-0 win over Sigma Chi No. 1. The game, played last November, climaxed the 1982 intramural football TAKING 1st AND 2nd in the hurdle competition at the intramural track meet last spring are Martin Nolla, Pitt- sburg sophomore, with a time of 22.91, and Mark Gou- vion, St. Paul freshman, with a time of 22.93. —photo by Steven Hausler 204 Intramurals Sports season after a week of playoffs. In addition to his first quarter touchdown, Mobley intercepted three Sigma Chi passes. It was mostly a pass- ing game for both teams ' said J.C. Boykins, Wichita graduate student. The league championship drive began with the top four teams in the Fraternity League, and the top four in the Independent League battling it out. Since there was only one division in the Dorm League, the champ sat out the first week of the playoffs. In other fall sports, Dan Brennon, Erie senior, won the intramural cross country race covering the approximate two-mile course in 11:44. Brennon represented Dellinger Hall and was fol- io wed by two other Dellinger counterparts—Steve Green, Olathe junior, in second, and Steve Cline, Topeka senior, who took third. Dellinger Hall also finished atop the team standings with 16 points, followed by Sigma Chi, and FCA.

There are many extras that these huge budgets provide for. However, there are some definite ad- vantages to being involved in a smaller school's athletic program. One of these advantages is the coaching experience some students gain by assisting coaches in a variety of sports. The student coaches at PSU range from seniors whose eligibility has run out in a particular sport to graduate stu- dents. Dave Suenram, athletic director and men's head track coach, views the stu- dent coach from two angles. We don't have assistant coaches in many of our sports ' he said. The only sport we have full-time assistants in is football. Suenram said most of the student as- sistant coaches were students doing graduate work who had experience in a particular sport. In track and field, Suenram has Steve Smith, Excelsior Springs, Mo., graduate student, assisting him. Smith was a long jumper for PSU and graduated in 1978. Steve works mainly with our jumpers and some of the other field events, Suenram said. You have to have someone ' Suenram said about the necessity of the student coaches. You can't do all the leg work yourself. Along with his coaching respon- siblities, Smith helps with organizing track meets at PSU, as well as doing some of the driving to meets out of town. Smith says he has learned a lot from working with Suenram. I have been helping the high jumpers for five or six years on my own. I was helping them and working out with them. This is the first year I have had the responsibility as a coach. For Smith the transition from athlete to coach was not a difficult one. The coach and the athletes knew that I knew what I was doing, he said. While a student assistant doesn't com- mand the same respect as a head coach, the guys were cooperative. Smith says he has a lot to learn about coaching all the events in track and field, especially the running events. When we go to meets, I watch and talk with good athletes of the sports I am unfamiliar with. That way, I can learn more, he said. In football, there were several stu- dent assistant coaches last year. During the fall season, Ron Freeman, Boonevil- le. Mo., graduate student; Willie Fritz, Shawnee senior, and Stan Patton, Monett, Mo., graduate student, were the assistants. During spring drills the coaches were Tom Stringer, Topeka senior; Marvin Foxx, Pittsburg senior, Freeman and Fritz. All of these student coaches want to coach in college ranks, but as Freeman pointed out, there are several dif- ferences in between being a player and being a coach. The biggest change is not being able to play, Freeman said. You also have to know more as a coach. Freeman explained that as a player he only had to worry about his position as nose guard. As a coach, he had to worry SPENDING MOST OF HIS time on the football field to fulfill his student coaching requirements is Marvin Foxx, Pittsburg senior. Foxx assists PSU coaches and works closely with players on and off the field, —photo by Steven Hausler 208 Student Coaches Sports about being able to teach and coach several defensive positions. A coach has to be able to explain the defense to a whole group that plays a variety of positions. You get a dif- ferent perspective ' he said. Foxx agreed that coaching was dif- ferent. He works with the wide receivers, the position which he played as a teammate, and the tight ends. If you are coaching players, you have to know more about the position than those you are coaching ' Foxx said. Freeman and Foxx said that they have learned a lot from the full-time coaching staff. They have a good program here ' Freeman said. The coaches are sharp and they all know what they are doing. Foxx agreed saying, I learned a lot from our coaches. Learning from a good staff is the best way to go if you want to stay in coaching and be succes- sful with your job, Head football coach Bruce Polen stresses discipline to his squad, which also applies to the student coaches. Neither Freeman nor Foxx had any trouble coaching former teammates. The players respected me, Freeman said. We set it straight early in the season. I asked them to cooperate and there was no trouble. Foxx agreed that the players he worked with were also cooperative. There was no problem working with the other players, he said. They realize we are there to coach them, so it is pretty straight, Freeman will transfer what he has learned as a coach back to the field. He has signed a contract to play for the Buffalo Bills of the National Football League. Foxx will be able to learn more about coaching as a graduate assistant work- ing with the team for the 1983 football season. Both players have plans to become college coaches after finishing school and their playing careers.—by Mark Braun STUDENT TRACK COACH Steve Smith, Pittsburg graduate student, cheers on members of the P5U men's track ream during the NAIA meet at Emporia last spring.

Even though the Gussies experienced a rather disappointing season, they still earned a berth in the District X Tourna- ment for the fourth consecutive year. The Gussies also placed shortstop Beth Jones, McCune senior, and Sheila Miller, Columbus junior, on the All Central States Intercollegiate Conference Team. After a strong finish in 1982 with a record of 32-18, Coach Mary Nutter had high hopes for 1983. Returning was the sister pitching duo from Columbus, Miller and her sister Marsha York, sophomore. Workouts for the softball team began in the early part of January at Weede Gymnasium. The girls worked on con- ditioning and the fundamentals of the game—throwing, hitting and running. During preseason, Nutter stressed the importance of the early part of the Gussies' 1983 season. We'll be playing a lot of NCAA Divi- sion I teams. Michigan State, Wichita State and KU are all on our schedule, Nutter said. The competition comes early so it will get us ready for the heart of our season. Nutter was impressed with the potential of her players, especially in the outfield. We have lots of potential in our out- fielders. The quantity and quality will make the competition stiff, Nutter said. The Gussies opened the season March 11 at the Oklahoma Baptist In- vitational Tournament in Shawnee, Okla. In the first round, the Gussies opened up with a 7-0 victory over Friends University of Wichita. The Gus- sies met and defeated Northeast Oklahoma University, Tahlequah, Okla., 6-5, and Wayne State University of Wayne, Neb., 4-2. The Gussies were then defeated 2-0 by Southwest Missouri State University of Springfield, Mo,, and then by their hosts, OBU, 3-2. Another game against OBU ended in a 1-1 tie after being cal- led due to darkness. The Gussies then travelled to Wichita and defeated the Wichita State Univer- sity Shockers 2-0.

After posting a 4-3-1 record, the Gus- sies were ready to play Michigan State. Mother Nature then unloaded rain that continued most of the season. Over the next two weeks, the Gussies would fight the weather more than opposing teams. The game against Michigan State was cancelled and a game against Missouri Southern State College had to be rescheduled due to rain and poor field conditions. The 20-team PSU Women's Invitational Tournament also suc- cumbed to the weather. Coach Nutter was disappointed to lose so many games, especially that early in the season. We weren't been able to play for two weeks ' Nutter said. You can only do so much in practice, the rest comes from actually playing in games— something we weren't able to do for some time. What was worse, Nutter added, was the fact that we weren't getting much of an opportunity to practice either. During the rainy weather, the Gussies moved their practices into Weede. Nut- ter said the indoor practices made her team regress and lose what progress they had achieved. The Gussies were back in action April 6, splitting a doubleheader with the Bearcats of Southwest Missouri State University of Springfield, Mo, The Gussies dropped the first game, 6-1, but were able to turn it around to take the second game, 4-1. Mother Nature got into the act again forcing the cancellation of the Wichita State Invitational. The next week, the Gussies were able to get in four games, all at home. The Emporia State Lady Hornets took the first two games from the Gussies, 4-0 and 4-2, in a doubleheader. The next day, the Gussies bounced back and took a pair in a doubleheader from the Lady Lions of Missouri Southern State College, 6-3 and 9-0. The second game made up for the one rained out earlier in the season. Nutter said the Gussies had their best offensive attack of the season so far. The Gussies were finally able to com- pete in, and complete, their first tour- nament since their season opener. The tournament was hosted by CS1C foe Missouri Western State College of St. Joseph, Mo. In the opening round, Pitt State lost, 1- 0, to William Woods College, Fulton, Mo. In the second round, the Gussies defeated Benedictine College of Atchinson, 8-0, in the losers bracket. The Gussies then lost to Oklahoma Baptist College, 4-3. This was the third time the Gussies had faced OBU during the season. Pitt State was not able to handle OBU losing two and tying one. At the Missouri Western tournament, Nutter said hitting was the main problem. We couldn't get the key hits, Nut- ter said. We kept hitting it hard, but right at them. During the next several weeks, the Gussies played in several doubleheaders. The Gussies usually lost the first one, but would come back and take the second one. In a doubleheader against Washburn University of Topeka, the Gussies split with the Lady Blues, giving up the first game 1-0, and taking the second game 6-0. The Gussies split another doubleheader, this time against Mis- souri Western who took the first game, 6-2, and Pitt State won the second game 2- 1. The Gussies ended the season by los- ing two games to. the University of Kansas, 2-1 and 3-2.

At the CSIC tournament in Joplin, Mo., the Gussies took third place. Pitt State defeated Wayne State College, 7- 4, in the opening round. The Gussies were trailing 4-2, but in the sixth inning, they scored five runs to take the lead and the game. In the second round, the Gussies defeated Missouri Western 4-3. In the third round, the Gussies were defeated by Emporia State for the third time dur- ing the season. ESU's Rhonda Clark al- lowed the Gussies only two hits in the 3-1 contest. In the loser's bracket, the Gussies faced Missouri Western again. This time, however, the Gussies were defeated 9-5. Several errors gave Mis- souri Western four unearned runs to give them the victory. We couldn't get the key hits. We kept hitting it hard, but right at them. With the third place CSIC finish, the Gussies earned a berth in the NAIA District 10 tournament District 10 is comprised of schools in Kansas. The Gussies defeated Friends Univer- sity of Wichita, 4-0, in the first round. In round two, the Gussies lost to St Mary's of the Plains, Dodge City, 1-0, on an un- earned run. Sheila Miller pitched a two-hitter against St. Mary's. Pitt State came back to defeat Baker University, Baldwin City, 5-2, Washburn eliminated Pitt State from the tourna- ment in another 1-0 game. Miller pitched another two-hitter, and again the Gussies gave up an unearned run. The season ended with the Gussies ranked third in their conference with a 6-9 record and a 16-19-1 record overall.—by Mark Braun Softball ' Sports Z I v Tradition intact Track team dominates CSIC...again Tradition is a word that is common to the athletic community. The University of Oklahoma, for instance, is a school that is known for having a strong foot- ball tradition. And, of course, other col leges and universities have developed traditions in other areas of athletic competition — Iowa seems to be a syn- onym for the word wrestling. Pittsburg State University is not unlike other in- stitutions when it comes to the development of long-lasting athletic customs. If one sport here has earned a strong tradition, it is certainly track and field. Pitt State's track and field tradition began some 60 years ago under the coaching of Garfield “Doc Weede. In the 1930s and 40s—until the out break of World War II—it was nothing un- usual for track teams from this small college in southeast Kansas to dominate such meets as the Drake and KU Relays. Track and field athletes at- tending what was then Kansas State Teachers College were, without doubt, some of the best in the nation. But after an incident on December 7,1941, many athletes found their track uniforms replaced with ones provided by Uncle Sam. After the war's end, many of those that left the college campus returned, but it would be almost 10 years before a track and field dominance would resur- face at KSTC. It began in 1953 under the coaching of Prentice Gudgen. Until 1958, Gudgen track and field teams were conference champions. For five years KSTC assumed the top position, strong in nearly all events. But once again, there would be a 10-year period before Pitt State dominace would return. Even though the teams that represented KSCT and Pitt State during the off-years were competitive, they did not seem to have the right combination of talent to become champions. In 1979, Track Coach David Suenram, a middle-distance runner under Gudgen, coached his team to a Central States Intercollegiate Conference championship that lifted Pitt State. In 1980 his team lost to Ft. Hays State Universtiy by a narrow margin. But for the next three years, Suenram's teams dominated the CSIC, and made impres- sive showings in National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics national meets. For Suenram and his Gorilla track squad, 1983 was a year filled with tradi- tion, a year filled with dominance. 714 T,ack Suenram was reluctant to speculate on the team early in the season, but said he did have several outstanding athletes returning from the strong 1982 squad. Pitt State returned four seniors that Suenram was excited about. Sprinter Edgar McAnderson, Kansas City; hurdler and decathlete Russ Jewett, Olathe; discus thrower Randy Russell, Olathe; and sprinter Mel Smith, Pryor, Okla. McAnderson was a two-time 100-meter champion of the CSIC and a member of the Pitt State record-holding 400- and 800-meter BATTLING IT OUT WITH the Fort Hays State Tigers and the Kearney State Antelopes in the steeple chase com petition at the NAIA track meet in Emporia last spring are Rodney Morrow, Gardner freshman, and John Johnson, Joplin, Mo., sophomore, —photo by Steven Hausler GIVING IT HIS ALL in the long jump competition at the NAtA track meet in Emporia is Bruce Laird, Central Heights freshman.

In 1982, Russell's throw of 167-11 placed him third on the Pitt State All-Time list — the throw also qualified him for the national outdoor meet. Smith won the 400 intermediate hurdles in the 1980 CSIC outdoor meet and ran on the 400, 800, and mile relay teams in '83. Probably the biggest success story of the 1982 season was sprinter Aaron Lang, Coffeyville sophomore, a return- ing letterman who Suenram held much praise for. Lang practically rewrote the record books at Pitt State in '82 by turn- ing in times of a 10.52 in the 100 meters, 21.12 200 meters, and the fifth fastest time for a 400-meter run at 47.98. He was also a member of the record- breaking 400, 800, and 1600-meter relay teams of '82. Other experienced returnees in- cluded, middle distance runner John Johnson, Parsons senior; javelin thrower Dan ' Thomasson, Wellsville sophomore; distance runner Wille Walsh, Dublin, Ireland, freshman; and shot putter Scott Karr, Paola junior.

One tool he used in 1983 was the indoor track season. PSU placed three at the NAIA national indoor meet: Walsh finished second in the two mile, the distance medley relay team of Jerry Robertson, Richmond freshman, McAnderson, Johnson, and Walsh placed fourth, and Johnson took fifth in the 1,000. This was by no means a great national indoor performace for the Gorillas. Overall, I think we ended up about where I expected us to be, said Suenram after the meet.

Sometimes it's a whole different season, but I'm optimistic about the prospects ' From the first indoor meet of the late winter, Suenram is tuning his athletes for the CSIC conference meet which takes place in the month of May. When the time came for a performance, his team sounded perfect. Along the way, however, some pleas- ing notes were struck. Javelin thrower Thomasson placed first at the Drake Relays, Russell was flirting with the school discus record of 176-9 by throw- ing 175-4; Lang was running as usual, fast; and seven PSU athletes qualified for the national outdoor meet. In 1983, for the third year in a row, Pittsburg State University won the CSIC track meet. The next weekend, to Suenram's surprise, the Gorillas won the District 10 outdoor. His tuning of the indoor and outdoor seasons had produced a winning harmony. Pitt State went into the NA1A national meet with two key injuries. Russell was not 100 percent due to a torn muscle in his throwing-arm, and Jewett was battl- ing an injury suffered during the indoor season.

He hasn't trained for the decathlon like he did last year. He had a stomach injury during the indoor season that set him back. Due to his injury, Jewett was forced to drop from the decathlon during national competition, and Russell's arm injury kept him from placing in the top six. Despite the injuries to Russell and Jewett, Pitt placed enough athletes to finish sixth. Shot putter Karr, making his first appearence in the national meet, placed second with a throw of 56-11, Lang placed third in both the 100- ano 200-meter dashes, and javelin thrower Thomasson, the Drake Relays winner, also placed third. The Pitt State showing at the NAIA national meet was not at all a bad one, especially when reminded that those who placed will return in 1984. Suenram has, no doubt, thought this fact through. For he is the head track coach for a university that is full of tradition—a tradition in track and field.—by Burl Powell Men's Track o-l Soorts Z I Small but competitive Women's track and cross country fair well with smaii numbers I n spite of small squads, the women's track and cross country programs were competitive in 1982-83, according to Rich Hollingsworth, women's track and cross country coach, The best thing about track and cross country is that the athlete is competing as an individual as well as a team ' Hol- lingsworth said. As a team, the Gussies did not fair too well because of the small team size, but as individuals, the Gussies did very well. Gayla Rothers, Gardner junior, and Karen Maloy, Howard freshman, made up the cross country team in the fall of 1982, Hollingsworth said. Rothers, in her third year running for PSU, consistently ranked high at the cross country meets. Maloy, in her first year at PSU, finished well Hol- lingsworth said, and developed as the season progressed, Rothers took first place at several of the meets, including the PSU, and Bethany invitational . During the indoor track season, Rothers qualified for indoor nationals in the 1,000-yard and one-mile runs. Rothers set a school record in the 1,000- yard run with a time of 2:55.41. Tammy Knight, Coffeyville junior, also qualified in the 60- yard dash and 60-yard high hurdles. Knight holds the 60-yard dash record at PSU. Pitt State opened its women's out- door season with four athletes at the Arkansas Invitational in Fayetteville. The Gussies placed three of the four women at the meet, which was made up mostly of schools in Division I of the National Collegiate Athletic Associa- tion. Anita McColm, Columbus senior, placed fourth in the javelin; joy Stoll, Chanute sophomore placed fifth in the shotput; and Rothers took eighth in the 3,000 meter run. Angie Seimon, Wichita junior, threw the discus but did not place. Hollingsworth said PSU was the smal- lest school participating in the Arkansas meet.

It is better for us if the competi- tion is tougher, because then we do better at other meets. The goal of the 1983 women's track team was to qualify as many of the team members for the National Association for Intercollegiate Athletics National Track Meet in Charleston, W. Va., Hol- lingsworth said. The team only had five meets in which to qualify. Most of the women qualified at the Wichita State In- vitational, Selmon not only qualified in the dis- cus, but her first place throw of 141-4 set a new women's record for P$U. Selmon later broke her record at the Mule Relays at Central Missouri State University, Warrensburg, Mo., with a throw of 141-7. Rothers qualified in the 3,000-meter by placing third at Wichita with a time of 10:18.2. McColm took first in the javelin, but was four inches short of qualifying. She later qualified at the Mule Relays. Stoll was third in the shot put, but also failed to qualify. Hollingsworth hoped his team would do well at the national meet. This was the last year of the women's track and cross country programs at PSU. The program has done well since it started in 1978, but in the last two years, the program has been de-emphasized. The women's track program was started to comply with the Title IX, which cal- led for equal programs for women's athletics. The decision was made in March 1981 by a 4-3 vote of the Athletic Policy Committee, announced by Dr. Bill Dickey, then athletic director. The recommendation of the committee was then sent to president Dr. James B, Ap- pleberry for acceptance or rejection. At the time, Dr. Dickey said the deci- sion was made because of the lack of adequate funding and full time coaching. The program was allocated $2,000, $1,300 of which was used by the cross country team. The coaching was done on a part-time basis by Bob McLeod. The year the announcement was made, the PSU women's cross country team was sixth in the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (that same year, PSU women's programs moved to the NAIA), with three All Americans. It is better for us if the com- petition is tougher, be- cause then we do better at other meets. McLeod was upset because he was told that the programs would be evaluated on a year-to-year basis, rather than in the middle of the season. One of the problems Hollingsworth has faced in his two years of the de- emphasized program is the small size of the team. The Athletic Policy Commit- tee, in 1980, limited the size of the programs and the amount of funding they could receive. The women's programs were funded as one unit, while men's cross country and track were funded as two units. TAKING 1st PLACE IN the-discus competition at the women's NAIA track meet in Emporia last spring is Angela Selmon, Wichita junior. Selmon's preliminary throws qualified her for only fifth place out of seven finalists but her final throw enabled her to sweep the event. —photo by Steven Hausler 220 Women's Track Sports Several weeks later, the committee overturned its decision and decided to re-emphasize the women's programs. In the end, the athletic department, through the policy committee, and University administration rejected keeping women's track and returned to the de-emphasis strategy. Part of the de-emphasis was to turn over the program to graduate assistants, eliminating McLeod's position. He was allowed to apply, but did not. Hollingsworth, who ran cross country and track in college, came to PSU as a graduate assistant coach. He has been here two years. It has not been decided what capacity he will have in the athletic department next year. The young program was successful, but the athletic department said there was not enough money to adequately fund or coach the sport.—by Mark Braun WOMEN'S TRACK TEAM: Gayla Rothers, Joy Stoll, Coach Rich Hollingsworth, Angela Selmon, Anita Me Coltm. —photo by Steven Hausler DISTANCE RUNNER GAYLA Rothers, Gardner senior, ran in only two of the four distance events she entered at the NAIA track meet in Emporia last spring.

The girls received invitations from the American Softball Association in- viting them to the tryouts scheduled for the first week of June. The ASA is the governing body of softball and it is also sponsoring the tryouts. Jones and Scalet will be competing among the top 60 girls from the entire nation for spots on one of two teams. The top 18 girls will be selected for the team to represent the U.S. in the Pan American games. The next 18 girls will compete in the Tri-Nations com- petition, the second week of June.

Of the 60 girls at the tryouts, the NAIA is allowed to send seven. It's a real honor for both Pittsburg State and the NAIA to have the girls representing us, especially when you consider it's the top 60 girls in the en- tire nation who are asked to tryout, said Mary Nutter, womens softball coach. Beth Jones, who plays shortstop for PSU has been playing softball for 14 years. She started playing at the age of seven and began competitive softball at age 12. As far as defensive players go, Beth is one of the best that I've ever seen. She's an outstanding athlete. Her speed is a great asset and she'll probably be one of the fastest at the tryouts. Beth also swings a good bat so that will be another asset to her as the coaches will be looking for someone who can hit well, said Nutter. I consider this to be the opportunity ©f a lifetime. I'm going to give it my best shot and try to represent Pittsburg State and the NAIA as well as I can, said Jones. I really love the game of softball and I've been very fortunate to have had good coaches, said Jones. Coach Nutter has been simply ex- cellent and one of my early coaches, Bill Dunnic, was the person who instil- led in me the desire to want to be the best that I can. Without them I wouldn't be where I am now. Scalet, who graduated last year, led the team in batting her sophomore and junior years. Anne is definitely a class outfielder. She has an exceptionally strong arm. Anne's not exceptionally fast, but she makes up for it in smarts. I think she's one of the smartest players I've ever seen, said Nutter. I really felt honored to be one of the 60 chosen nationally for the tryouts, said Scalet. I've always loved softball and this gives me an opportunity to test myself against the nation's best. Scalet has been substitute teaching in Tulsa so her free time for practice is somewhat limited. Although I haven't had as much ac- cess to practicing as I would if I were sill in college, I've been conditioning and throwing everyday. I'm just going to do the best I can when I go down there. Whatever happens, it'll be an ex- perience I'm sure I'll never forget, said Scalet.—by Yvette Wheeler Pan American Games O' Cnnrlc it ok Mom and Dad ...we made it! OO f Graduation ZZ r Farewell Jraduation—for most it takes four years. For others it takes six or 10 years, and still others do not experience it un- til after raising four kids. However long it takes, it still has great meaning for the graduates and their families. This year's graduation had special meaning for Kathleen Harnish, Kinsley senior, and Sandeep Mukerjee, Pitt- sburg senior. Harnish and Mukerjee were selected the Outstanding Senior Woman and Senior Man for 1983. The two were nominated, then ranked by university leaders across the campus. Harnish and Mukerjee were selected from 21 outstanding student nominees. The awards were established by the class of 1967, which voted funds to es- tablish the senior walk in front of Russ Hall. The names of the two will be in- scribed, then laid in the walk.

Appleberry at the commencement day luncheon. Harnish received a bachelor of science degree in business administra- tion and Mukerjee received a bachelor of arts in biology. Harnish and Mukerjee were two of more than 1,000 who graduated from Pittsburg State University in 1983. Most of those graduate and undergraduate students participated in graduation ceremonies Sunday, May 14, in Weede gymnasium. Students receiving as- sociate of arts degrees also took part in the ceremony. The ceremony included those stu- dents who graduated in December as well as those graduating in May and Ju- ly. The graduates were led in and seated according to their school.

Many students raised the degree and waved it to families as they departed from the stage. Dr. Appleberry, in his final com- mencement at PSU, spoke to the graduates about challenges he had made to them when they arrived at PSU. In his address, Appleberry again challenged the graduates to take what they learned in college and apply it to life. Dr. Appleberry also addressed the situation of education in America based on the report by the president's Com- mission for Excellence in Education. Appleberry said the United States must maintain excellence in education by redefining its curriculums. The 1983 Alumni Meritorious Achievement Awards were presented to alumni at the graduation ceremony. The award winners are, Chester C Goss, 1947, chairman of the board of C.l.T. Corporation, and Major General Ronald L. Watts, 1955, commander of the U.S. Army Readiness and Mobiliza- tion Region III. General Watts has the highest rank of any graduate of PSU's ROTC program. A special Presidential Award of Merit was presented to Rex Crowley, director of planned giving, for his work in in- creasing donations and gifts to PSU. Crowley has been the director since 1978. Those graduates receiving commis- sions in the U.S. Army, Army Reserve and National Guard took part in the Commissioning Ceremony before the graduation ceremony. Those receiving nursing degrees took part in a pinning ceremony after graduation. PSU graduates came from all over the world to pursue and education. Many are from the Pittsburg area, but others were from the Far East, Middle East, Europe, Africa, Central and South America and North America. What the graduates accomplished at PSU is still recognized as one of the great stepping stones of life—an education.—by Mark Braun WAITING HER TURN is Janet Hester, leawood senior.

Appleberry resigned effective July 1, 1983, to become president of Northern Michigan University in Marquette, The announcement was made simultaneously in Marquette and Pitt- sburg on April 5. Dr, Appleberry was in Marquette for the announcement and Wayne Davenport, director of Public Affairs and Information at PSU, made the announcement to PSU faculty, staff and students. Dr. Appleberry had also applied to Wichita State University and Murray State University in Kentucky. Dr. Appleberry is proud of the progress PSU has made in several areas since he came to campus. I am proud of the excellent faculty Pittsburg State now has and the quality of academic programs through which they do such outstanding teaching. The University's level of quality — foremost in the teaching faculty and then its programs and student body — are the greatest advancements any university can make ' Dr. Appleberry said. In the areas of academic programs, Dr. Appleberry cited the work of Dr. James Gilbert, vice president for academic affairs, in the development of curriculum programs during the last five years. He also cited the work of Rex Crowley, director of planned giving, for developing programs to increase gifts and donations to the university. Dr. Appleberry said he sees funding as the the main obstacle facing PSU and the state of Kansas in the future. Kansas has serious funding problems, and they must address these problems if they are going to maintain the quality of their programs, Dr. Ap- pleberry said. While in Marquette, Dr. Appleberry called his appointment as president of NMU an opportunity for the school's renewal. The governor of Michigan has signed legislation eliminating the state's deficit and restoring money to educa- tion, What the state of Michigan has said is, that if Michigan is going to adjust to 99ft Appleberry Resigns the future, we have to help ourselves. That vehicle for adjustment is education ' Dr. Appleberry said. Recent cuts in Kansas regent institu- tions will affect the quality of programs, especially if the cuts are permanent, Dr. Appleberry said. Dr. Appleberry is extremely proud of his years at PSU. He often refers to the Five Year Report published last fall to show the advancements made at PSU. These advancements include expanded curriculums, guidelines for faculty tenure and increased student activity. There have been some bad times at PSU for Dr. Appleberry. Controversy was at the heart of the contract negotia- tions with Pittsburg State University— Kansas National Education Association. Dr. Appleberry regretted that the con- troversy received so much public atten- tion. Dr. Appleberry and his family will miss Pittsburg State University and the city of Pittsburg. Although we'll soon leave the peo- ple and this place that we love, all the fond memories of colleagues, alumni and friends will go with us. —‘by Mark Braun AT A PRESS CONFERENCE last April, President James Appleberry announced his reasons for accepting the presidency at Northern Michigan University in Marquet- te.

One faculty member from each of the departments of art, foreign language, business administration, the Vocational Technical Institute and the School of Technology and Applied Science, and two faculty members from the social science department, will not have their contracts renewed for the 1983 fall semester. These faculty members were on three-year contracts which were renewable on a year-by-year basis. In essence we're simply not picking up their option ' Dr. Appleberry said. The positions may not be lost forever if the Kansas Legislature appropriates more funds to the University than is currently foreseen. However, this does not mean that these faculty members will return with the jobs. When and if additional funding is ap- propriated to the University, Dr. Ap- pleberry said that any hiring will be done for a new position since the posi- tions are being eliminated. According to University procedure, a new job position must follow affir- mative action guidelines. Therefore, the seven faculty members may reapply for the position but will not automatically be rehired. They will have to compete with others who also apply, Dr. Appleberry said that the loss of seven faculty members may only be the beginning of cutbacks at PSU. Last fall, Governor John Carlin ordered an $84 million budget cut for higher educa- tion. This amounted to a cut of $632,000 in PSU's current fiscal budget. At the beginning of this year, Carlin announced another proposed budget reduction amounting to $14,248,686, and the elimination of 347.4 employees for state universities. For PSU, the loss would be $1,012,920 and 34 employees—20 unclassified per- sonnel (faculty and administration members) and 14 classified (includes such positions as secretaries, janitors and grounds-keepers). Dr. Appleberry said that taking into consideration the additional positions created by the new biology-science building and higher enrollment, the net employee loss for PSU would be 23,5, The University has prepared four budget plans ranging from the most severe cuts by the governor to a change in the current year's base, according to Dr. Appleberry. The most severe plan allows for the loss of $1,012,920 and a cut of 34 per- sonnel. The second allows for the $1,012,920 to be cut, but no forced position cuts. The third begins with this year's cur- rent budget and adds the restructuring recommendations of the legislature's fiscal analysts. The fourth provides for an additional $632,000 to be cut with no loss of posi- tions. Cooper, Wanda, Chanute Cosens, Brent, Fort Scoll Craig, John, Olathe Crawford. Sherry L, Lee's Summit. Mo.

Henry, Cynthia, Independence Editor explains plight Gillespie offers causes of American working situations o ne of the highlights of the 1983 Multi-Cultural Month activities last spr- ing was a lecture by Marcia Ann Gil- lespie, former editor of Essence Magazine in March, Gillespie said that being black got her her job in 1966 with Time, Inc,, although most of the company's employees were white. She added that being a black women was hard for her and her career. She left Essence Magazine in 1980 because she felt it was easier to make a change before she was 40, rather than .afterwards. She said she felt it was time for her to leave. Gillespie's speech centered on her feelings that everyone—black or white. or men or women—should unite together as one in our society. We are not 'I We are 'we.' We are all part of one struggle, she said. In her speech she also presented her feelings about men and society. I think it would be damn hard to be a man in this society. I think it would be the hardest, scariest thing because they don't have the support women have. We have organizations and clubs to make us feel good, but it's hard for a man to say 'help me or 'I'm terrified or 'I don't know, Gillespie said. She added that she felt that there is not much that motivates black people to work hard for something. Someplace back in the 60s blacks became too dependent on the govern- ment. We cannot turn to a white bureaucracy to overcome our problems. I believe that the reason the suicide rate is so high among young blacks is because there is an absence of hope for the future. I also believe that there will be more interracial marriages, she said. Currently, Gillespie said she is work- ing on Lena Horne's memoirs and that they are scheduled for publication in 1984. She added that in the future she will be publishing another book en- titled Domestic Workers in America, which she hopes to finish after the Lena Horne book is published. 232 Seniors Panels Herder, John, lola Her rill, Lenny, Rantoul Herzog, Randall, Frontenac Higerd, William, Colby Mocker, Bill, Coffeyville Hogan, Ruth, Ferdonia Holdredge, Daryl, Olathe Houser, Steve, Columbus Hulsing, Arlene, Holton Ingram, Abby, Areola, III Israel, Libbia, Fair Grove, Mo.

The two major purposes of the day were for the students to receive on- the-air experience and to raise money for broadcasting equipment according to Dr, Roger Hadley, assistant professor of speech and theater. The KKOW staff was most com- plimentary concerning the profes- sionalism of the students and were im- pressed with their knowledge and skill in adapting to a 'real situation said Dr. James E, Gilbert, vice president for Academic Affairs. Four students sat in as disc jockeys, each taking a three-hour shift, Vance Lewis, Fort Scott junior started the day at 6 a.m. followed by Phil Hall, Girard junior; Ken Fienen, Independence senior, and Bob Lovett, Fort Scott freshman, according to Dr, Hadley. It was an excellent chance to see how a good station operates and what to expect in the job market later on, Hall said. The broadcasting students sold all the ads for the day and 14 of the ads were written and produced by the students, according to Dr, Hadley, We were impressed by the amount of effort put out by the students. The day went smoothly, because of the ex- tra effort the students and faculty put forth, he added. The $1,283 profits made at KKOW will go toward buying a video tape recorder or cartridge tape recorder for the PSU broadcasting department. The station's willingness to par- ticipate with the University activity is a socially responsible gesture. They not only performed a public service to the students, but to the community as Wei- 1, said Dr. Hadley. Seniors Panels Display causes dispute recalls Iranian-American disagreement Moslem exhibit )ispute over a display in the Student Union lobby resulted in a review by the Student Union Board of Governors of university and regent policies regarding public displays on university property. The dispute stemmed from an exhibit by the Moslem Student Association which depicted pictures of the Ayatol- lah Khomeini and a bloody American flag. Many of the students in the organization are Iranian, according to Dr. Carmela San Diego, foreign student adviser. The Union received complaints from students who said the display brought back memories of disagreement between American and Iranian stu- dents dating back to when Americans in the U.S. Embassy in Iran were taken hostage by Iranian students. The exhibit was part of a series put on by several foreign clubs displaying culture and events from home countries. Dr, San Diego said the organization's purpose was to share in- formation about home countries with others. For fear of violating the group's freedom of speech, University officials did not want to ask the group to change the display, but members of the group did remove some items. During a cultural week at Pittsburg State University, Moslem students showed films and discussed their homelands with other students. Dr. San Diego said no friction was evident at those gatherings. The Moslem Student Association is a registered organization on campus and went through proper procedures for setting up the display, according to Dr. San Diego. Steve McLaughlin, assistant director of Student Services, said he was sur- prised by the display because demonstrations or protests were usual- ly something far away, rather than close to home. Sandy Loy, Student Union program director, said it was the first time in her year and a half at PSU that a controver- sial issue had been in a student organization display. Loy added that she did not know of any recent local in- cident that could have prompted the display. The Student Union Board of Gover- nors does not plan to change any regent or University policies, but only plans to enforce any existing policies.

A former Pittsurg State Univeristy stu- dent who suffered from anorexia said she was always sensitive about her weight Her physician's comment that she ought to go on a diet (a height of 5'5 and weight of 113 pounds) touched off her efforts to lose weight, Not everyone who tries to lose weight is anorexic. The American Psychiatric Association lists the follow- ing criteria for diagnosing anorexia ner- vosa: intense fear of becoming fat, refusal to maintain minimum weight standard for age and height, disturbed perception of body image, and loss of 25 percent of original body weight, with no physical illness to account for it. Anorexia often starts when a girl is faced with a life-changing situation such as going away to college. Initial weight loss may be accidental. She takes pride in friends' admiration and respect and desires more of it. The prospect of eating scared me. I'd panic when we went out for ham- burgers. It was frightening for me because I didn't understand what was going on. Before I'd always loved to eat but I just couldn't while I had anorex- ia, the former PSU anorexic said. Dr. Hilde Bruch, an expert in the field of anorexia and author of the book The Golden Cage, attributes anorexia to television and the way it bombards viewers with the message that one can be loved and respected only when slender. The learning theory holds that the anorexic fear of weight gain is a phobia learned from our cultural emphasis on thinness. Dr. Felix E.F. Larocca told dieticians at Nutrition Update '83, We are not meant to be thin. he told participants in the conference at the University of Missouri-Columbia that media en- courages unhealthy slimness and sug- gested that all popular diet books and their authors be burned.

The medallion, a two-piece bronze design, represents the flags of the 23 nations which participated in the fair conducted in Knoxville, Tenn., last year. The King's Keychain ' as the medal- lion has come to be called, not only represents 23 national flags but also the fair's theme of Energy Turns the World and the United States Pavilion. As for other design credits, Dutton is responsible for the Kansas State Col- lege of Pittsburg logo, the current PSU logo, a number of gorilla images for use in campus signs and literature, class schedule, commencement and direc- tory covers and specialty items such as posters, parking stickers and spot art. Dutton taught Layout and Design for three semesters at PSU during an emergency vacancy in the printing department. He also has a free lance studio in his home where he has designed works for advertising agencies and various publications and businesses. Dutton's advertising work includes that which he did for Forms Manufac- turing, Incorporated, a nationwide producer of business forms with facilities in Fort Scott, and he has started work on his third series of grahics for Your Company, a magazine for the McNally Manufacturing Cor- poration of Pittsburg. Dutton has also designed medallions commemorating Pittsburg's centennial which are part of a plaque permanently on display in the Kansas Gas and Electric Company building in Pittsburg. Dutton was commissioned by entrepreneur Jim DeForest of Wise Enterprises of Albany, Ky., for the design of the World's Fair medallion which was licensed for sale as an official novelty at the event. He has worked with DeForest on similar projects in the past and said that they are hoping to do a lot more business together. Their next project is a medallion for the Great Smokey Mountains that will be licensed for sale exclusively within the city limits of Gatlinburg, Tenn., and will feature the logo of the city as well as a representation portraying the mountains.

Dr. Rumford wore his attire during an entire class period in order to make his subject matter a little more realistic, —photo courtesy of the Collegio Robe has class Professor recreates older class atmosphere ro try and make a certain period of study as realistic as possible for his stu- dents; Dr. Herbert Rumford, professor of psychology, recreated a setting of a classroom from around the turn of the century. Dr. Rumford appeared for class dres- sed in a doctoral robe, which he said was typical of the Brass Instrument Era of psychology. We were talking about E.B. Tichener, one of the psychologists in- strumental in developing this era ' Dr. Rumford said. He added that Tichener, a Cornell University professor, taught in his robes until he stopped teaching in the 1930s, which was long after most professors had stopped wearing them in the clas- sroom. Meg Braun, Pittsburg graduate stu- dent, added to the atmosphere by demonstrating several devices, that were made of brass, that were used by psychologists of that specific time period. The robe that Dr. Rumford wore dur- ing class was previously owned by Dr. O.P. Dellinger, 1940-41 president of the University when it was known as the Kansas State Teacher's College of Pitt- sburg. Dr. Rumford said that he has been the second owner of the robe since it belonged to Dr. Dellinger. Braun said that it was interesting to be a part of the re-enactment and that the robe and the instruments did pre- sent a feeling of what it might have been like back then. Dr. Rumford said that the class was very receptive to the recreation of the classroom atmosphere during the turn of the century. As was the educational custom then, the class stood for Dr. Rumford's entrance into the room. Maple, Jacqueline, Chanute Masuch, Denise, Kansas City, Kan.

This is a record number of students participating in the program. The most we have had before was 11, said Dr. William Allen, NSE coordinator. The program allows students to pay only PSU tuition and they are not responsible for any further tuition at the participating NSE institution. It's a good deal with just paying PSU tuition, said Kelly Wooster, Pittsburg sophomore. Wooster will be the first PSU student to go through the international ex- change program through the State University College at Buffalo, New York. She will be attending McGill University in Canada. A student with a 3.0 cumulative grade point average is given first priority to the program, but a 2.5 cumulative GPA is necessary to participate. The student should be a sophomore or junior in the year of their exchange and have com- pleted at least 30 credits in residence at PSU, prior to exchange. The program allows you to attend a university that specializes in the area that interests you, said Kent Roddy, Coffeyville freshman. Roddy will be at- tending the University of Montana for the year. My major is geophysics. By ex- changing to Montana's I'll be able to get hands-on experience, instead of just reading about it, Roddy said. I'll have the opportunity to par- ticipate in classes where I can get the experience that I just wouldn't be able to obtain here, he added. Judy Davis, Pittsburg sophomore, will be taking her two children, ages eight and 11, with her when she attends the University of Georgia, Athens. I wanted the opportunity to go to a bigger university in a bigger city. I also feel that it will be a good experience for the kids, Davis explained. We will also have a record number of students coming from other institu- tions to PSU this next year, Dr. Allen said. Students will be coming from the University of Maine at Fort Kent; New Mexico State University, Las Cruces, N.M.; Kearney State College, Kearney, Neb.; University of Georgia, Athens, Ga.y and Humboldt State University, Aracata, Calif. The NSE program has grown at PSU since we first started it three years ago, Dr. Allen said. Each year a NSE Coordinator's Conference and Student Placement Meeting is held to coordinate the plac- ing of students. This years meeting was conducted last March in Birmingham, Ala. It was at this meeting that the 15 PSU students were placed. I'm impressed with the program and the commitment of the schools and coordinators in NSE to the welfare of the special students who take advan- tage of the National Student Exchange opportunity, Dr. Allen said. 254 Sophomores Panels Burg, Wendell, Chanute Burke, James, Fort Scon Butts, Julie, Humboldt Campbell, Beck, Shawnee Campbell, Dirthy, Kansas City, Kan.

The repairs covered the construction of a new roof, major tuck pointing and the replacement of various carpets, drapes, ceilings and Union furnishings. Overman said, Our major repairs were concerned with the walls and ceil- ing of many of the rooms on the second floor which are used for banquets and meetings. The carpeting, drapes, and fur- nishings up on the second floor had been there since 1963 and were ready to be replaced. The leakage just added to the problem. With the repairs completed, the Student Union building should be in pretty good shape for the next 15 to 20 years, Overman explained. The repairs were started in the cafeteria, the original part of the Union built in 1951, and continued throughout the building as funding was available. Overman said that the new roof had apparently stopped all problems with leaking. Eight new drains were added and the roof was sloped. The Union roof was last repaired in 1968 and had been patched over and over again for the past five years. According to consultants from the Kansas State Architects Office, who ex- amined the old roof before it was replaced, patching could no longer suf- ficiently repair it, so it had to be replaced. Not all of the cracked and peeling walls on the upper floors of the Union have been caused by roof leaks. Overman said that some of them were caused simply from water seeping through the walls. As brick buildings get older, water expansion causes the mortar to crack and eventually the walls and ceilings begin to leak, Overman explained. The process of tuck pointing re- 258 Sophomores Panels Simmons, Laurie, Erie Staler, Randy, Overland Park Smith, Cheryl, Overland Park Siarreit, Pam, Coffeyvitte Stephens, Shari, Joplin Stevens, Mindy, Bartlesville Street, Cynthia, Baxter Springs Taylor, Wade, Kansas City, Kan.

The Union fee increased by $15 last fall, with $10 being used for general operation, such as utilities and staff salaries, $3 for maintenance and repairs and $2 for programming. Overman said that with $3 per stu- dent coming in each semester, the Union will be able to do the necessary repairs and upkeep as it is needed since the funding will be readily available. Before, we never had any al- lowances within the Union fee for maintenance or repairs, and now that we do we're going to be able to main- tain the building better, Overman ex- plained.

Following the leadership of Harold 'Babe' Alyea, 24 students oganized a club named Gorillas. Their purpose was to accelerate college spirit and enthusiasm until it permeated the state. The group first strived for school spirit through editorials. One such arti- cle appearing in the school paper stated, The only thing wrong with this school is the fact that it is made up of would-be school teachers who are try- ing to get their dignity established before they get out. We want PEP and we want it all the time! After the publication of this article, the Gorillas grew even more active. They sponsored pep rallies, freshmen hazing, school picnics and shoe sails. I They also organized special trains to out-of-town events, mock burials and weddings, and night shirt stampedes through downtown Pittsburg. With all the execution of all these events, the Gorillas' popularity grew, as well as did their membership which soon reached over 100. In 1923 the first picture of the PSU Gorilla was drawn with the aid of art student, Helen Waskey. Two years later the Gorillas presented their symbol to the school as its official mascot. On Jan. 15, 1925, the student body unanimously elected the ferocious beast...as a name and synonym for the athletic teams. During his first half century as mascot, the Gorilla became less ferocious and more loveable in ap- pearance. He was dubbed Gus and given a mate Gussie, who was created in 1952 by Charles Galvin for a Student Union display. Lee Green, Kanza art editor in 1952, illustrated Gus as a cartoon. The class of '65 had him cast in fiberglass so he is now a permanent fixture in front of the Student Union. During the summer of 1980, Ted Watts, a 1966 graduate of PSU and presently a sports artist for colleges and universities, brought back the original ferocity to the mascot through a painting of the animal. Watts' painting was commissioned by the PSU alumni Association and he signed a limited edition of his work for alumni on Sept. 5, 1980. For the first time in almost thirty years, our mascot is once more virile and dynamic—a symbol of strength and power, DeGruson said. Today Gus and Gussie continue to be spirit leaders at PSU athletic events, where they not only stand as a symbol of strength and power but also a sym- bol of school pride and history.

The ail-day event was spon- sored by the Student Union Board Odds and Ends Committee. Celebrating this event is important. It reminds the students of the impor- tant services that the Student Union provides as a place for them to unite and gather together ' explained Dan Weinert, Kansas City senior and chairman of the SUB committee. Everyone in the Union is there to serve the students and should be recognized for the great job that they do ' Weinert added. Included in the festivities was the presentation of a clock by Weinert, representing the Student Union Board, to Jack Overman, Student Union direc- tor, in honor of the event. The clock was presented by SUB to the Student Union in honor of it's birthday. We have put the clock in the main lobby of the building, Overman explained. One major highlight of the day was the Kansas City mime group— Mimewock. Mimewock is a well-balanced collec- tive of mime artists who have a wide variety of training and experience in the fields of not only mime but theater, dance and circus arts. They have per- formed over 3,000 times since their in- ception in 43 states in 1977. Overman, University President James Appleberry and Scott Ewing, Pittsburg senior and president of SUB, spoke at the event. Free cake, ice cream, potato chips and beer also served to highlight the celebration. The event was well attended. Ap- proximately 1,000 students, twice the number that have attended the event in the past, participated, said Sandy Loy, Student Union program director. The event was well publicized and it provided the students with a good op- portunity to participate in the celebra- tion of the Union's birthday, Loy ad- ded. The birthday party gives students the chance to visit and for us to wish them a happy birthday to. Afterall, the Union belongs to them, too ' Overman said.

McNally, chairman of the board of McNally Pittsburg, Inc., was the featured speaker for Apple Day ceremonies in Weede Gymnasium last March. McNally, a resident of Pittsburg all his life, owns McNally—Pittsburg—the largest employment company in Pitt- sburg and also the largest coal process- ing company in the world. For many years, he has been a sup- porter of Pittsburg State University and was chosen as the 1975 Kansan of the year by the Native Sons and Daughters. McNally was also selected as Kansan of Achievement in Business by the Topeka Capital-Journal in 1973. McNally's speech revolved around the effects technology has on the future. Technology is a major part of three theaters—biology, electronics and energy. Each theater contains some emphasis to which technology provides some usefulness. Biology needs technology in battl- ing new diseases, in which man has become very resourceful in com- plicating. Electronics has helped technology through its latest invention of the home computer. Finally, technology has helped the processes of energy. Imagine a world without energy—the things we take for granted would be gone, McNally said. McNally also stressed that the home computer will be abundant in the future and the fact that ths arts and sciences will have relative importance on it. Many problems will be solved by the computer in the home. It has, and will, become a marketable tool and provide a ready demand in several careers. The computer will be harsh to those who are illiterate and helpful to those who have a good background in the arts and sciences, he said. Apple Day, part of Higher Education Week, commemorates a lighthearted apple fine imposed on the school's first leader, and then faculty, in connection with a key legislative appropriation in 1907. During the 1907 debate for the school's first building appropriation, Russel Russ, the superintendent of the Pittsburg schools, spent a lot of time in the state Legislature. As the issue was drawing to a close, the legislators lightheartedly discussed the appearance of non-members on the House floor and fined them a barrel of apples the next day. Shortly after, Russ appeared to in- quire about progress of the bill and was duly fined. The incident was reported in Pittsburg and when Russ returned. He suggested the students mark the event by voting a similar fine on the faculty. The motion passed unanimously and PSU's first Apple day was March 8,1907.

Their queen car placed first in the homecoming car competition and was decorated with the cartoon character Dumbo. The men placed first in the Yell- Like-Hell pyramid competition which consisted of a routine done by Pac-Man characters. The club also participates in intramural football, baseball, volleyball, softball, basketball and swimming. They have Halloween, Christmas, Valentine's Day and skating parties. A Pass Over meal is held in April. The club went to a retreat at Cedar Bluff Camp in Coffeyville last year which helped the members with their meditation and prayer.

The squad at- tends camps during the summer before each season sponsored by the National Cheerleading Association. In the summer of 1982, the squad received all superior ribbons for their evalua- tion performances, brought home an NCA spirit stick and was awarded the Spirit Trophy, voted on by all other squads in attendance, for outstanding squad. Even though the squad encountered a great amount of turnover during the year due to conflicting class and work schedules and members quitting their positions, those remaining the entire year were still able to successfully perform partner stunts, cheers, chants and pyramid-building for both men's and women's athletic squads at Pittsburg State University, To help with funding for camp, uniforms and transportation to and from out-of- town games the squad judges area high school and junior high school cheerleading tryouts, sponsors clinics and mini-camps for area schools, and con- ducts car washes, window washes and bake sales.

During football season the spirit squad performs side-line entertainment which consists of short dance routines accompanied by the PSU band to help generate pep and school spirit. During basketball season they perform at half-time for both men's and women's games doing hand and pom-pon dance routines. The organization's activities include window washes at the Pittsburg drive-in theater, bake sales and parties at the Tower Ballroom. The money they raise helps fund such things as new uniforms. The Student Senate is the student governing body of the University. Since its organization in 1919, the senate has gained increased responsibilities. Some of these are to allocate funds from various all-University committees, to serve as a liaison with the administration and to initiate new programs for the academic and cultural benefit of the student. The senate president is a member of the Student Advisory Council to the Kansas State Board of Regents and gives active input to the regents' policies and programs on behalf of the student population of Pitt- sburg State University.

Pi Kappa Alpha '1 11 Greeks J 11 Largest staff ever Newspaper coverage expands with journalism program T he Collegio started the 1982-83 year with its largest staff ever. The influx of freshman and sophomores to the staff is a reflection of the growth of the com- munications program at Pittsburg State University, During the fall semester, most of the news centered on budget cutbacks af- fecting the University and the trial of Kenneth Lee Durrough of Erie, During the summer of 1982, opera- tions budgets at all Kansas Board of Regents institutions were cut 4 percent, For Pittsburg State University, the total was $600,000. In November, Governor John Carlin ordered another 4 percent cut in budgets. Durrough was charged with, and later found guilty of, 10 felony counts in connection with a hit-and-run incident at Hollywood's, a student night spot. The incident occurred Aug. 23, the first week of school and injured six un- iveristy students and damaged four automobiles. The Collegio covered both stories in- depth.

The editorial staff included, Burl Powell, Granby, Mo., senior, editor; Tom Flinchum, Independence senior, managing editor and Cindy Cowan, Arma junior, news editor. Mark Braun, Lawrence senior, a new- comer, was the sports editor. Brian Davis, Colby senior, continued as advertising manager supplying the ads necessary to average 10 pages per week. Rick Scharf, Tucson, Ariz,, senior was in his third year as composing superintendent. Kelly Rogers, Pittsburg junior, and Delaine Stonecipher, Grove, Okla,, senior, handled the copy editing. As the semester progressed, the young staff learned to handle the video display terminals and their beats. Many of the eager staff members sought out their own feature stories. Friday deadlines were usually ex- tended to Mondays making for some long Monday nights and early Tuesday mornings. In October, members of the Society for Collegiate Journalists attended the 58th annual convention of the As- sociated Collegiate Press—National Council of College Publication Advisers in St. Louis. The staff members attended seminars concerning all phases of journalism and publications, as well as visiting the Gateway Arch, St. Louis Zoo, and other tourist sites. O'! Q Collegio J I O Publications There were some changes in the spr- ing semester. Flinchum left the staff, Cowan became managing editor, Braun became news editor and Allen Ed- monds, Cherokee junior, took over as sports editor. Davis became business manager and Nanette Johnston, Pitt- sburg junior, took over as advertising manager. The second semester was spent battl- ing the Student Senate over accusations by the Senate that SCJ forged travel documents. The Senate later modified their stance and a Senate bill punishing SCJ, was never signed by Dr. James Ap- pleberry, University president. As the semester ended, Collegio editorials attacked the Senate for providing travel funds for Senate representatives to two conventions. The funding for the Senate was handled differently than it was for student organizations. The year ended with the annual Communications Banquet, May 3. Special tribute was paid to H.G. Roberts, founder of the H.G. Roberts Foundation for Excellence in Com- munication. Roberts died unexpectant- ly in February. Top honors at the banquet were awarded to Rebecca Atherton White, Pittsburg graduate student, and Powell. White received the Shirley Christian Award, and Powell received a new award, the Bill Corporon Award, for those planning to teach journalism in secondary schools. Each carried a $500 stipend. Staff awards went to, Melinda Oberhelman, Spring Hill senior, news writing; Braun, editorial writing; CeCe Todd, Leavenworth freshman, and Ramona Vasser, Easton sophomore, shared the feature writing award. Edmonds won the sports writing award; Rogers, copy editing; Roy Buz- z Palmer, Atwood sophomore, photo- journalism; and Johnston won the advertising award. The composing award was shared by Price Williams, Leawood senior and Chuck Frisby, Kansas City junior. SCJ National Medal of Merit went to Jacque Porter, Pittsburg senior and Kanza editor.

None of the '82 editorial staff returned in '83. Jacque Porter, Pittsburg senior, went from yearbook staff writer to yearbook editor. I knew the very basic production of the yearbook from working with last year's staff ' Porter said. But my entire staff had even less experience than I had with working on a publication. I think the inexperience helped us work even harder, because things went very well ' Porter's editorial staff included, Jo El- len Black, Arma freshman, photo editor; Vanessa Prather, Kansas City sophomore, design editor; and Anna Golob, Pittsburg senior, composing superintendent. At the semester there was turnover on the staff as some photographers and writers left and others came in, Steve Hausler, Wellsville junior, transfered to PSU and was a staff photographer. Black and Hausler were the heart of the photo department with assistance from Duane Smith, Arma freshman. Staff writers included, Porter; Carey Gillam, Chanute sophomore, who transferred in at the semester; Kelly Hollstadt, Olathe junior; Joann Richter, who quit at the semester; and several writers recruited from the Collegio. The designers under Prather were, Theresa Tomelleri, Kansas City sophomore; Rosalind Allen, Wichita junior, and Jann Greenberger, Kansas City freshman. The editorial staff chose on Broadway for the theme of the 1983 Kanza, because of the constant role of students to perform in school and after they get out, and because of the un- iversity's location on Broadway Street. Porter said the idea of the book was to be as creative as possible with the spreads and stories. The book ex- panded on the ideas of the '81 and '82 books, which have a magazine format. The 1981 yearbook won a Pacemaker award, recognized as one of the top three yearbooks in the country. The 1982 yearbook received an All American rating making it eligible to be judged for a Pacemaker. Glenn Robinson, assistant professor of journalism, divided his time advising both the Kanza and the Collegio while Dr. John Knowles, associate professor of journalism, was on sabbatical. At the 58th annual convention of the Associated Collegiate Press—National Council of Collegiate Publication Ad- visers in St. Louis, Porter accepted the Pacemaker awarded to the 1981 year- book. The year ended with the annual Communications Banquet, May 3. Special tribute was paid to H.G. Roberts, founder of the H.G.

National awards were presented to Sam Farmer, Kansas City graduate stu- dent, and Rosemary Hessman, Pittsburg junior, for cartoon work each had done.

Each one holds opportunities and experiences dif- ferent from the last, and each individual must learn to grow, adapt and recognize his capabilities in order to successfully pass through each stage and on to the next. PSU is just one of those many stages in our lives. But these things are what the stages of PSU have to offer students who choose to obtain their college education here. continued on page 340 USING THE M-60 TO keep the patrol base perimeter secure, Dan Riley, Shawnee sophomore, watches for any opposing forces who might try to enter the area.

The main purpose of the 1983 Kanza is to put the spotlight on a vast variety of the people who make PSU what it is—an institution dedicated to the education and development of tomorrow's world. The 1983 Kanza is an attempt to highlight the year through well-rounded and accurate coverage of campus and local events and the people responsible for them. continued on page 342 340 as? i JSstl CLEARING CAMPUS SIDEWALKS was a top priority for Physical Plant workers after one of the few big snows in Pittsburg last February.

Even though the year 'On Broadway' proved to be challenging and, at times a little disappointing, there were also the many good times we'll all have to remember even after leaving Pittsburg State. There were friends, old and new, that seemed to make those disappointments and failures a little more bearable and not so bad after all. Supportive faculty and staff members gave students the experience, guidance and perspective needed to make the preparation for those later years somewhat easier. Student organizations and extra-curricular activities helped to break the monotony of tedious homework assignments and demanding class schedules. Crossing the many stages of Pittsburg State, we gathered along the way not only the knowledge to handle the difficult times in our lives but the ability to accept the multitude of challenges that bigger and better horizons hold for us after we leave this campus. All the world is a stage.
