In Retrospect T. year 1984-85 at Pittsburg State University can be viewed in many ways by many people. As the freshman looks back at 1984-85, he may recall a feeling of in- dependence as he lived away from home for the first time. The sophomore may see the year as a time when he became more involved with campus activities and delved further into his major. The junior could have been reflected as the student with two years of David Barton THE UNIVERSITY LAKE was a common picnic site during the spring semester.

When the senior recalls this past year, he may remember the feeling of accomplishment as he was handed his diploma at graduation, and bittersweet memories of saying goodbye to old college friends. Others will have specific memories of 1984- 85. Some will remember it as the year a gorilla DISASTER STRUCK THE Tan Kappa Epsilon fraternity during the Greek Week bedraces.

Nationally, we recall the year as a time when public awareness and concern reached a high point. While many Americans raise money to restore the symbol of freedom, the Statue of Liberty, many more were terrorized and killed as anti-American sentiment con- tinued to fester and grow abroad. 1984-85 in retrospect.

This school year was a kaleidoscope of ex- periences, events and emotions for each individual involved with University life. The pattern that kaleidoscope image forms is the way each person views the year In Retrospect. President Ronald Reagan was re-elected over Democrat Walter Mondale and his running-mate Geraldine Ferraro, the first woman to run on a major party ticket. In Retrospect continued from page 9 The new science building Heckert-Wells opened its doors to many new labs and classrooms. Although no other new buildings built across campus, other departments and schools received face-lifts in the form of mergers and name changes. The Vocational Technical Institute and the School of Technology were merged so the administration would be able to maximize the classroom space and the faculty. Homecoming came to Pitt State with Carol LOCAL PITTSBURG TALENT joined in the effort to feed the starving people of the world. Jack Lankford and his band, The Acrylics, performed at the Feed the People Music Fest held during Ape Fest week.

Steven Hausler Opening Kanza 85 continued from page 10 McCraw, Bonner Springs senior and Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority candidate being crowned Homecoming Queen. The spirit and festivities of Homecoming contrasted with the despair elsewhere in the world, as millions starved to death in Africa, The public became more aware of the famine arid raised money to help feed the starving. 40 American recording stars sung their hearts out in We Are The World for USA for Africa, which became a number one hit as people across America sponsored In Retrospect money-raising events for the cause.

Raising of the legal drinking age to 21 became an issue to PSU students. On July 1, 1985, the drinking age for 3.2 percent beer in Kansas was raised from 18 to 19, and it will continue to be raised each July 1 until it reachs 21. Personalization of the campus through University Ambassadors and the new telemarketing program were all ways in which the University made efforts to bring more In Retrospect students to psu. THE STAGE OF Memorial Auditorium was transformed by light and smoke into a rock concert extravaganza May 8. However, because the remodeled Auditorium was slightly damaged, some Pittsburg citizens feel rock concerts should not be held there in the future. THE FIRST ROCK concert in the newly remodeled Pittsburg Memorial Auditorium May 8 featured Shooting Star. Lead singer Steve Thomas leads the band in the song ''Summer Sun. David Barton Opening Kanza 85 ALTHOUGH DRUMMERS ARE generally hidden from the audience by other band members and by the drums themselves, they play an important part of rock music. Shooting Star's drummer, Norman Dahlor, is surrounded by various drums and other instruments. FIDDLES ARE USUALLY associated with country music, but rock band Shooting Star features fiddle music in many of their songs. Fiddler Gary West becomes caught up in his fiddle, as he plays to a packed crowd in Memorial Auditorium. David Barton continued from page 14 Locally and nationally 1984-85 brought events that affected everyone's lives. Ex- change students experienced the American culture, while all students continued to prepare for the future. Everyone on campus made changes and set new goals as they worked together. In retrospect, 1,984-85 holds many memories. But because each individual and each event is unique, the memories differ. How one views this past year may change in time. But 1984-85 was a significant time, a time of change, growing up, happiness and tragedy. Each person has his own way of viewing 1984-85, In Retrospect. THE PITT STATE Corillas managed to pull out a winning season, with a 5-4 overall record. Mark Dean, Shawnee Mission senior, and Bruce Stancell, Anderson, Mo., sophomore, leave the field after a hard, tiring game. FOR SOME STUDENTS, Homecoming is a time to go all out and show school spirit. Carrie Smith, St. Paul graduate student, paints her face and hair in the school colors for the festivities. nauirf ftafinri Opening Kanza 85 Tradition Divider Tradition ition Certain traditional happenings make Pittsburg State University unique. Some of these happenings go unnoticed, some are taken for granted, and many are looked forward to year after year. Color schemes and patterns are made with much care and concern with the atmosphere that they will present. Analysis is done on the effect colors have on moods and personality. Julie Butts, Humbolt senior, makes a dream come true by placing the faces of fellow students in many homes. Although revenue was not large, achievement was great. Homecoming events involve many students at one stage or another. Carol McGraw, Bonner Springs senior, reigns over the Griffon-Gorilla Homecoming football game. Tradition presents classic topics of PSU life whether appreciated by few or noticed by all. The KANZA staff retrospectively presents Traditions. THE EARLY SPRING weather has an almost miraculous effect on the PSU campus. As spring fever hits, thoughts traditionally turn to spring break, suntans, and fun times. Cherry Grant, Columbus junior, and Kena Huntsinger, Wichita senior, bask in the warm sun of early spring while enjoying a chat on the benches in front of Hughes Hall.

Carol McGraw, Homecoming queen, represented the Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority. McGraw crowned Homecoming queen 5 tudents and faculty at Pittsburg State University poured into Brandenburg Stadium to witness the crowning of the 1984 University Homecoming Queen, at 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 31. Carol McGraw, Bonner Springs senior, representing Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority, was elected Queen by the student body. Each student voted for one candidate on the ballot where the names of 10 semi- finalists appeared. The choice of 10 semi-finalists had been made earlier, narrowed from a field of 25 queen candidates. McGraw's court was also named during the convocation. They in- cluded Julie Bresnick, Pittsburg senior, sponsored by Alpha Sigma Alpha sorority; Gena Buche, Mulberry junior, sponsored by Sigma Chi fraternity; Anne Mullen, Leavenworth sophomore, sponsored by Lambda Sigma honor society; and Anita O'Brien, Chetopa junior, sponsored by the Newman Club. The queen candidates met four times with campus and community judges before the convocation, including a public competition in the Jack H. Overman Student Center, Ballots were collected at the convocation by members of Lambda Sigma honor society, and were tabulated by computer. While waiting for the results of the voting, students were entertained by comedian John Penny, Kansas City, Mo., who acted as Master of Ceremonies. Penny is a drama student at South- west Missouri State University and is an entertainer at Stanford Sons Comedy House in Kansas City. Other entertainment included music by the PSU Pride of the Plains Marching Band, a Pom Pon squad routine to the song Let's Hear it For The Boy by Deniece Williams, and a cheerleader and yell leader routine to the song Hello Again by The Cars. Dr. Donald Wilson, University president, gave a short pep talk on student enthusiasm, and Mike Mayerske, head football coach. introduced the PSU football team and coaching staff and talked about the upcoming game against the Missouri Western Griffons. The 1983 Homecoming Queen Pam Farney, Haysville senior, gave her farewell address and handed her title over to McGraw.

David Barton TEARING HOPEFULLY INTO a new season was the Corillas. They were preparing to challenge the Missouri Western Griffons in the Homecoming game. Floats Tradition Spectators enjoy eventful parade floats and decorated cars were the first to arrive, gathering at the corner of Tenth and Broadway early Saturday morning. They were driven, pushed and pulled by tired, dedicated students who had worked for weeks to have the best, most original entry. Members of novelty groups were also there, dressed in outer-space costumes and shivering in the cold air of the windy November morning. The yellow school buses began rolling up next, unloading 1,400 band members from 19 Kansas and Missouri high schools and junior high schools. Shortly thereafter, spectators started to arrive. Some huddled inside warm buildings, but still more braved the cold wind and cloudy sky, lining up both sides of Broadway. All were waiting anxiously for the beginning of the biggest Homecoming parade Pittsburg State University had ever hosted. PSU students and alumni were joined by adults from Pittsburg and the surrounding communities, as well as crowds of children, in enjoying the spectacle of 100 parade entries, in- cluding floats, decorated cars, novelty groups and marching bands. Clowns shook the hands of small children, and Cus and Gussie Gorilla roared up and down Broadway on mopeds. Jack Overman, former director of the PSU Student Union, was the honorary grand marshal. In the float competition, Alpha Sigma Alpha and Sigma Tau Gamma received first place. Their float por- trayed Gus piloting a space shuttle, under which the feet and tail of a Griffon could be seen. Second place was awarded to Alpha Gamma Delta and Lambda Chi with their Zap the Griffons float. It showed a star fighter, piloted by Gus. The smoke coming out of the tailpipe of the star fighter helped make this float a success. Sigma Sigma Sigma and Sigma Chi placed third, with their Space, the Final Frontier theme, and the Technology Clubs' portrayal of a lunar landing module atop a Griffon snared fourth place. In the decorated car competition, Newman Club received first place; Trout Hall, second; Tau Kappa Epsilon, third; and the Social Work Club, fourth. Sigma Chi won first place in the novelty competition. Alpha Sigma Alpha and Sigma Tau Gamma received second, and Sigma Sigma Sigma third. The novelty groups in the parade included portrayals of the Star Wars Cantina Band, War of the Worlds, and Fat Albert and the Brown Hornet; A novelty group is a group who choose a theme and then act it out. Any club may form a novelty group and march in the parade. For the second year, prizes were also awarded to community businesses and organizations participating in the parade. The Pittsburg area Chamber of Commerce received first place in this competition, and Lowe's Skateway, second. Jody Richards, Uniontown fresh- man, said, I've been coming to this parade for years, since I was a little girl. But this was the best parade I've ever seen Pittsburg put on. —by Stacey Sanderlin David Barton Steven Hauler Floats Tradition David Bart or EVEN WITH EFFORTS from team members such as Willie Brown, Biggs, Okla., senior, who rushed 918 yards, Pitt State still fell 42-36 to Missouri Western in the 1984 Homecoming game. PITT STATE GORILLAS face off against the Griffons of Missouri Western, Steve David, Houston junior, nose tackle, prepares to fight his way to the Griffon quarterback. David Barron Homecoming Game Tradition Gorillas fall 42-34 to Missouri Griffons M issouri Western claimed a 42-34 victory over the Gorillas during the Pittsburg State University Homecoming game. In spite of rain and chilly weather, a large crowd turned out for the game. With only 18 seconds left in the game, it still looked as though Pitt State had a chance. A touchdown and a two point conversion would have tied the game, but a deflected pass on the fourth down ended the game for the Gorillas and left the Griffons the victors. The Griffons drew first blood less than three minutes into the game to take a 7—0 lead. PSU quarterback Gene Stegman, Overland Park freshman, was unable to generate any big offensive plays in his first varsity start, and Pitt State was shut down by a strong Griffon defense. The Gorillas seemed to have stopped the Griffon offensive attack until a third down incomplete pass was ruled as roughing the passer against PSU. The Griffons were then given a first down at the 30. The Griffons completed a pass which took them to the PSU 18, and five plays later scored for the second time in the first quarter. An 83-yard drive capped by a one- yard carry into the endzone by Bruce Stancell, Anderson, Mo., freshman, resulted in PSU's first points of the day with 42 seconds remaining in the first quarter. Pitt State scored again in the second quarter to tie the score, the closest they would ever be to Missouri Western. Minutes later Western retaliated to once again gain the lead during second quarter action. Neither team was able to generate any scoring offense the remainder of the first half, and the Griffons went into the locker room with the halftime lead. In second half action, PSU fumbled on its first two possessions, the second one being recovered by the Griffons on the PSU 21 yard line. Taking advantage of the turnover, Missouri Western quickly scored on a 21—yard touchdown play. Trying to close the Griffon 14 point advantage, PSU hurriedly scored again. The PAT failed, leaving the Gorillas trailing, 28—20. The Gorilla defense held the Griffons for the remainder of the third quarter, but another Gorilla fumble with 30 seconds left on the clock in the third period dashed their hopes of scoring. During the first play of the final quarter the Griffons extended their lead to 15 with a 30-yard touchdown run. Western capitalized on another PSU turnover, a deflected pass at the PSU 37, and widened the lead to 42—20 with only 10:17 left to play. PSU refused to give up the game though, and with about six minutes left scored a one—yard touchdown and a two point conversion to narrow the Griffon lead to 42—28. With about a minute left to play, the Gorillas narrowed the gap even more with a 58—yard touchdown pass. The Gorillas held the Griffons to three plays and regained possession at the Western 37 with 18 seconds left to go. Stegeman's first three pass attempts failed. On his fourth and final chance he aimed for the end zone and it ap- peared the pass was on target until a last second deflection interfered and Missouri Western claimed the win. The game was the eighth time the two schools have met. PSU won the first six meetings and Missouri Western the last two.—by Ron Ausemus David Barton SCRAMBLING FOR THE first down is Cehe Stegeman, Overland Park freshman. Stegeman rushed for thirty-one yards, but Pitt was still not able to pull out a win against the Missouri Western Griffons. AS THE FOOTBALL competition began, the Pittsburg Stale crowd of fans were attempting to do the wave to cheer the Gorillas on. Homecoming Game Tradition r A GUEST SPEAKER is part of the Apple Day tradition. Dr. Mariano Fiallos, professor at the School of Law and Department of Social Sciences in Nicaragua, speaks on the importance of higher education at the annual event. THE DISTRIBUTION OF apples on Apple Day has been a tradition at Pittsburg State University that began in 1908. Dr. Tom Bryant, professor of physical education and recreation, hands out apples to eager students and faculty during the Apple Day activities. David Barton Apple Day Tradition Steven Hausler Apple Day loses impact Faculty fined a barrel of apples The entire student body attended Apple Day in 1908 and 1909, now only about 150 people attend, and most of them are faculty ' said Gene DeGruson, Special Collec- tions Librarian. The first scheduled Apple Day occurred in 1908 to celebrate the Legislature's decision to establish this campus. In March of 1907, the Legislature appropriated monies to establish a State Manual Training Normal at Pittsburg. According to letters written by superintendent Russell Station Russ in the early history of the school, the 'apples' concept came from a barrel of apples Mr. Russ was fined. Most of the members of the Legislature would go home for the weekend. So this time accordingly all of our lobby had gone home, except for me. In the House, the members were waiting for a committee report, and, as they had run out of any business, they passed a resolution to the effect that the first one to occupy a seat of one of the legislators, should be fined a barrel of apples. It was my lot to be the victim. As there had been nothing doing earlier, I had gone over to the Senate. On returning to the House, I sat down in a vacant seat, and to the general laughter af the assemblage was fined a barrel of apples, Mr. Russ' letter said. Upon returning home he was met by students yelling the building passed, and they knew of his fine of a barrel of apples. A letter states that, in order to throw a little pep into the celebration many voted to fine the faculty a barrel of apples — and thus, Apple Day came into being. It became a tradition for many years during World War II that the Governor would speak, usually on the topic of higher education in the state of Kansas. In 1916, Governor Capper was greeted in 30 different languages to signify the different nationalities at State Training Manual Normal, now called Pitt- sburg State University, DeGruson said. DeGruson said beginning in the year 1919, Apple Day evening was celebrated in Senator E. F. Porter's home. He invited the entire student body to his house in celebration through World War I, DeGruson said. Senator Porter was in- strumental in helping push the legislation to get the ruling for the school. Student Senate was in charge of Apple Day this year, and has been for several years. Kathy Scott- Dawdy, Overland Park, senior and Academic Affairs Commissioner said, The people who don't go to Apple Day possibly don't know what Apple Day is about. She said, as organizer of the celebration, that she didn't receive the encouragement or funds to put on a celebration similar to those in the early years of the University. Apple Day falls at a real in- convenient time, in March. We didn't even have a speaker until two weeks before. Dr. Mariano Fiallos was the speaker and his topic wasn't directly related to PSU, but he is nationally known and his speech was in- teresting, Scott-Dawdy said. She said one problem with the lack of interest in Apple Day recently has been lack of support from faculty. I sent letters to each faculty member and asked them to encourage their students to attend and few did. In order for the celebration to be a full success, more people need to get involved. I think Apple Day would go over better if it was celebrated once every five years instead of every year, and make a real celebration out of it, like it used to be. The administration needs to pitch in too — more University sponsored, not just Student Senate. Right now, all promotion is left up to the Student Senate, Scott-Dawdy said.—by Millie Myers APPLE DAY, NOW sponsored by the Student Senate, is not as celebrated on campus as it used to be. Rob Herron, Student Senate vice president and Columbus senior, is caught sleeping during the address at the Apple Day festivities March 7 in the John Lance Arena. Apple Day Tradition David Barton University campus abounds with col r | he campus of Pittsburg State University is a collage of color. The buildings, the grounds, and even the student's clothing reflect a wide variety of shades that combine to create a pleasurable atmosphere. More often than not, students are only vaguely aware of the importance of their surroundings upon their mood and health. After many years of study, scientists and psychologists have concluded that attractive, harmonizing colors are beneficial to the well being of all people. Certain colors are used to set a mood, develop a specific theme, and to brighten an otherwise dull, boring day. As students go about their daily routine, many colors used on campus influence behavior. From spring to winter, flowers bloom brightly to cheer even the most tired student. Many hours are spent by campus workers maintaining the grounds. Each flower bed is planted with care, taking into consideration the shades which will compliment each other. After a dull, gray winter, the newly leafed trees and multi-colored THE BRIGHT RED colors on the third floor of the Leonard H, Axe Library are psychologically stimulating for studying. Jeff Collins, Oakley senior, and Linda Jo Hawkins, Osage City junior, are two of the students who benefit from this atmosphere. blooms are as welcome as the warm sun. It's no wonder that spring fever attacks most students. Who wouldn't rather sit outdoors than in a classroom? Classrooms, believe it or not, are also carefully planned to be as pleasant and cheerful as possible. In Grubbs Hall, most classrooms are painted in two shades of a cool color such as blue or green. Scientists who study productivity have concluded that such colors improve production, create better quality work, relieve eye strain and produce finer morale. The soft colors do not distract the student from more important things. Test scores are also known to be higher in properly painted classrooms. However, there are times when bright colors can actually help a student study. In the Leonard H. Axe Library, warm colors such as red, orange and yellow are used. The colors usually evoke feelings of vigor and vitality. The walls of the library are yellow, orange and cream: colors that present a feeling of coziness for the student. The chairs are covered in a red fabric. Even the most tired student THE DESIGNERS OF Heckert-Wells, the new chemistry building, color coordinated the building down to the smallest detail. Even the coat hangers outside the chemistry lab are cheerfully colored. Color Traditions David Barton David Barton COLORS ARE BELIEVED to affect a person's ability to study and learn. Green and blue, the colors of this room in Grubbs Hall where Dr. Victor Emmett, English professor, teaches advanced composition, aid learning. White and yellow, however, are believed to hurt the learning process . Dale Bratton THE BEAUTY OF a cloudless fall day is a welcome sight to students and faculty at P$U. The deep blue of the sky frames the the Leonard Axe Library on a day in early November. Color Traditions continued from page 26 perks up when his eyes look up from a book and sees red. Psychologists believe the color red stimulates people much the same as caffeine. Since drinking coffee is not allowed in the library, looking at the red seats might be useful the next time one is studying late. One of the newest additions of bright color is in the Heckert-Wells Science Building. The stair towers are painted in large vertical and horizontal stripes. Cary Carlat, campus planning director said, 'The stripes were the idea of the building's architects, Hight and Jackson Associates of Coffeyville. The multi-colored stripes were used to help coordinate the different colors used on each floor, and to brighten the large amount of space used for the stair towers. Reaction to the striping has been mixed, said Carlat, but most students enjoy the modern design. Laurie Manley, Coffeyville junior, said, the stripes are cheerful and make my trip to zoology lab a little more pleasant. The colors used around campus are so important that a full time position of Graphic Designer is held by Jeff Morris of Girard. For five years, Morris has been responsible for the street signs, interior directory signs, and the colorful murals that decorate many of the buildings on campus. Before painting one of his murals, Morris first draws a preliminary sketch and attains approval from University administration. He then paints the pictures freehand. Some of the most popular murals, are the ones in the Weede Physical Education Building in the gymnasium. They depict men and women playing the sports offered at the University, Morris said. He is also responsible for the Norman Rockwell look-a-like in the bookstore. Morris often incorporates the school colors, crimson and gold, wherever appropriate. This adds to the feeling of school spirit and pride one feels when walking around school, he said. The school colors themselves have long been a part of Pittsburg State University. The first mention of them was in the 1910 Kanza in the school song. However, as Eugene DeGruson, special collections librarian, stated, There is no information available about who decided on the colors. They've been standard for many many years. The students themnselves are becoming more and more color conscious in their choice of clothing. In recent years, the seasonal color theory has strongly influenced the choice of colors worn, especially by girls on campus. One of the most popular books on the subject, Color Me Beautiful by Carole Jackson, is often checked out at the University library. The theory, which is based on sound scientific study, proposes that a person's skin tone and natural hair color determines the appropriate season, spring, summer autumn or winter. The theory insists that everyone looks best in one of the four color palettes that relates to these seasons. For instance, autumn and spring are warm palettes; the individuals have a yellow undertone to their skin. Summer and winter are cool palettes; the in- dividuals have a blue undertone to their skin. By wearing the right color of clothing, a person can look younger and healthier. An autumn woman dressed in natural earth tones that complement her coloring can be more effective in communicating her ideas, than if she were to dress in another season's palette. A woman can spend $40-$50 to have her season charted by a professional color analyzer at local department stores. Most PSU students check out the book at the library and try to figure out the best shades for themselves. Selection of clothing is made easier and faster since the choice of colors has been narrowed down to specific shades. It's obvious that color effects every aspect of life at Pittsburg State University. So whenever you're hurrying from one building to another, slow down and take time to enjoy the variety of colors which were selected for your benefit. Who knows, you might even feel a little better about that English class in Grubbs Hall now.— by Margaret Downing Colors on campus Tradition David Barton MIXING THE COLORS of her pallet to find that one special hue is Patty Knapp, Emporia senior. Knapp is one of the several students that use the studios of Porter to add a special touch of color to the Pitt State campus. David Barton EVEN THE BRIGHT colors inside the Leonard H.

Colors on campus Tradition Holiday time spent at home fhe prescious time spent with the family during the holidays is sometimes taken for granted, but for out-of-state and foreign students, going home for the holidays may be the highlight of the school year. For adults, Christmas may no longer hold the same enraptured feelings of excitement and anticipation as it did in childhood, but for students who only make it home once or twice a year, Christmas time may hold a deeper meaning now. When I was a kid, Christmas was when I received a lot of gifts. Then as I grew up it became a party time. Now it is more of a special family reunion ' said Claudia Vasquez, Caracas, Venezuela senior. Vasquez said that her family celebrates Christmas in much the same way that other Venezuelan families do. We get together with as many family members as possible, have a big supper and look forward to the new year, Vasquez said. Venezuelans open their homes to all their friends during the Christmas holidays and have a open house type of celebration, Vasquez said. Everyone in Venezuela has dinner at 10 at night, open gifts at midnight, and then go to visit all their friends. If you get there at the right time, you can stay and have dinner, she joked. Out-of-state students anticipate the trip home during the holidays as a chance to be together with loved ones, instead of only being able to relate over long distance. When we are apart, said Mary Slobaszewski, Iowa Falls, Iowa, senior, my family and I keep in touch quite often. We keep long distance in business when I don't get to go home, . When I do get home, I spend time with my family. I don't get to see many of my friends because I just don't have enough time, because it is a time for the whole family to get together, Slobaszewski said. One of the biggest troubles with going home for the holidays for some students, is the time involved in making the trip. On Thanksgiving, it's hard to spend your vacation getting there, and then having to leave so soon, Slobaszewski said. Although it is hard for students to face separation from their family and friends during Thanksgiving and Christmas, they celebrate the rest of the holidays with roommates, classmates and friends from the University 1 don't get to go home for Easter. That is a holiday I usually spend with my roommate or another friend, Slobaszewski said. International students don't always participate in the American holidays, but some do find the more unusual ones are fun. I don't celebrate all the American holidays. Halloween is something new to me that I don't celebrate, but some of the other foreign students do. Some even bring Halloween back to their countries as part of the culture they learned in the United States, Vasquez said. Going home for the holidays may not, be important to everyone, but for the students who save for weeks to make the yearly trip, it is the most important time of the year. My boyfriend is also from Venezuela and he goes with me when 1 go home. We don't get to go in the summer because we have to get ahead in our classes. So we save all year and look for- ward to our trip home over the Christmas holidays, Vasquez said. Holidays, whether it's Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine's Day or any of the others celebrated, are not forgotten while at college —by Ramona Vassar David Barton ALTHOUGH fT WAS October, and very cold, the festivities made it seem like the Fourth of July at the Yell-like-Hell celebration held during Homecoming week.

Jeff Pressley, Overland Park senior, likes to spend his spare time working out on his soloflex. He finds it a help keeping his weight down and his body fit. ONE OF THE music fads of the '80s, MTV, has in- vaded the campus of PSU, along with a big screen television. Enjoying both are Carrie Nash, Parsons freshman, and Jeff Yates, Parsons freshman. Fads-Fashions Traditions Russell Taylor Russell Taylor OVERSIZED COATS AND loose clothing, like these worn by Vanessa Rhoades, Commerce, Okla. junior, are two of the newest trends in women's fashions. Here today gone tomorrow Fads sweep campus | | ere today, gone tomorrow. That seems to always be the life span of trends, fads and fashions. The fads that swept the nation in the past few years, although they were all the rage at the time, are almost forgotten with today's craze for the newest of what is in and what is not. Cone are the thrills of such crazes as hulahoops, skateboards, yo-yo's and pet rocks. These have been replaced with mopeds, music television, pierced ears for guys, Michael Jackson, and an endless list of the latest fashions. Fashion has been an integral part in every college coed's life, but current trends indicate that fashion is as important to many men as it is to women. Although the jeans and T-shirt look hasn't been replaced altogether, the male look has expanded to new styles and colors that would have been considered too feminine a few years ago. Aletha Patterson, lola junior, keeps a close view of today's fashions while working at Pittsburg's latest clothing store. The Brass Buckle. Patterson said that almost anything goes for styles and colors for both men and women. Men are buying more pastels and really bright colors than in the past few years. Some of the big sellers now, for example, are oxfords with colors such as purple with black plaids and stripes. They are even wearing pleated jeans with pin stripes and the baggy look that, until now, only women have worn, Patterson said. The tuxedo look of last fail has been replaced with bulky sweaters, parachute pants and all types of jeans. Jean jackets, women's bulky, loose sweaters and jeans with all types of colored stripes are the big sellers now. The Levi's 501 blue jeans though are the most popular, Patterson said. Everything army, khaki and camouflage appeals to the fashion-conscious students of PSU. Many stores in Pittsburg carry full lines of army fatigues and accessories. The newest in fads and trends should not be limited only to clothing. Fads are appearing in many forms, such as jewelry accessories, home entertainment and even hairstyles. As for today's hot sellers in jewelry, it seems that bigger and brighter is better. In other words, almost anything goes. Big, dangling earrings, in almost every size, shape and color imaginable, adorn most female ears, and even some males'. Wooden jewelry, chunky necklaces and bold colors are the favorites this year. Cirls love the twist bead necklaces and the new ear cuffs that wrap around the top of the ear, Patterson said. Teen hero Michael Jackson became a fad and a fashion during the last two years while his career was sky rocketing. His influence on the younger age group appeared in their dance, hairstyles and especially in their clothing — zippered jackets, permed hair, leather pants and sequin gloves. Also attributed to Jackson's popularity is the breakdancing craze that swept the nation. Although it is more common to see in larger cities, even smaller towns such as Pittsburg experienced the ex- citement of the newest dance fad. The University offered classes teaching the technique of such movements as pop, tick, flop, bop and robot to children and adults. Once these techniques in dance were learned, breakdancers pitted their talents in contests at local night spots in and around Pittsburg. The valley girl look and creative phrases such as for sure are finally fading away, but punk is in. The punk clothes, hairstyles and music are appearing more frequently. Men and women both are appearing with short cropped hair, with colored streaks and fool's tails, the long pieces of hair worn in the back of the head. Fads-Fashions Traditions continued from page 35 For Pittsburg students, hairstyles are becoming more conservative, said Darlene Bartlett, owner of BJ s Klip and Kurl on Broadway. The most popular style for ladies right now is the bob, a short under cut. The tight perms that were so popular last year are being replaced with perms that allow large, loose body curls. The men are more aware of making their hair fashionable. They perm more than ever before, and they iron and curl their hair more, Bartlett said. Styling gels, glazes and mousse are becoming important parts of today's styles. These setting solutions help keep body and style last longer and are available in all colors. We have the mousse foam in burgandy, blonde, chocolate and strawberry. We have the more radical types of colors too, but we don't have too many requests for them The students seem more concerned with being stylish. They no longer want to just wash and go. They are looking for a more manageable style that is also marketable when going out into the business world, Bartlett said. Two of the fastest growing fads in the last couple of years have turned into hobbies for some people. MTV and video cassette recorders are keeping people home, offering an appealing freedom of choice. Since the recent video revolution, home entertainment will never be the same again The tyranny of television has been overthrown and the American living room is now a private screening room for the newest in entertainment.

It is now almost waist length. percentage of American homes. The sales of VCR's skyrocketed during the last two years, blasting video revenues sky high as these versatile machines became a must for many homes. The freedom of choice seems to be one of the main themes in buying a VCR, at least for PSU students. This new freedom of choice was one of the reasons Carrie Phelps, Crestline junior, invested her money into a VCR. I don't get cable tv and I was tired of having only three channels to watch. Now I have the opportunity of a better selec- tion, especially with movies, Phelps said. With the purchase of the unit also comes the costs of video club mem- bership fees and tape rentals. KMO Video has two locations in Pittsburg, offering movies and equipment to Pittsburg residents. Norma and Cleve Hyman own and manage the KMO Video stores. Norma says that although only a small percentage of their clientele are college students, the biggest problem they have with customers comes from this small percentage, Students have a problem getting a movie tape back once they have rented it. They give the movie to a friend who is supposed to return it to us, Hyman said. Music Television, Home Box Office, Michael Jackson, Cindy Lauper and many more of today's entertainers create the newest fads and fashions. The fads come and go as quickly as the passing of each new season. In this race to keep on top of what is new and fashionable, there is only one thing to depend upon.

Fads-Fashions Traditions A relief from the ordinary Road trips break monotony w hat's a student to do when life just seems to follow the same old routine day—after—day? There are many ways for one to break a monotonous schedule. One of the most popular is getting together with good friends. Whenever this happens any number of things can occur. During conversation many ideas are exchanged, but there are two words that are almost always greeted with complete acceptance.. . road trip . A road trip can be a great way to escape boredom. One of its most enjoyable forms is when it's spontaneous. One such road trip began on Tuesday, October 2, when John Nicholson, Overland Park sophomore, brought his parents' van to school. Having possession of the van, the opportunity for a road trip was too great to pass up. With approximately only three hours preparation, Nicholson, Gregg Jarvis, Winfield sophomore, and Stan Larson and Rob McGeary, both Overland Park seniors, set out for Padre Island near Brownsville, Texas. The basic reason for the trip, Jarvis said, was because we were all just getting boggled down with school. Their destination eventually changed to Galveston, Texas, which they reached Wednesday morning. Originally they had planned to sleep in the van near the beach but wanting to take showers, they decided to rent a hotel room. While in Galveston they spent their time swimming, laying on the beach, and partying. The trip cost them about $60 each. We just went down to be bums for two days, said Jarvis. We'll probably do it next year too. The five of them made it back to Pitt- sburg about 6 a.m. Friday and faithfully attended their classes that day. Not all trips have to be spontaneous to be enjoyable. Each year the Pittsburg State University Student Union Board organizes trips. Last year the trips varied from one-day canoeing or camping excursions to seven days and nights at Padre Island. Deanna Webster, Osawatomie senior, and the SUB Recreation and Travel Coordinator, said the road trips are usually well received by those who participate. According to Webster, last year about 50 people went skiing at Steamboat Springs, Colo., and around 70 went on the Padre Island trip. A travel agency organizes the trip and also plans parties and activities. Individual clubs and groups around campus also plan trips to museums, fairs, conferences, workshops and com- petitions. According to McGeary, who is chairman of the Student Senate Finance Committee, any group registered at the Student Affairs office as a school club, can request money to pay for at least part of the expenses of any trips they want to take. The money comes out of the student CONTRASTING CONFIGURATIONS are compared in the reflections off the Louisville Center for Arts in Louisville, Ky. Road Trips Traditions continued from page 39 benefit their members. The trips can be one-day excursions or overnight trips. All we ask is that the request be reasonable. We aren't going to send anyone to Europe or Hawaii ' he said. Another requirement is that np more than 20 people go on the trip. Some of the groups that have gone on trips financed through Senate are the French Club and History Club trips to the Rennaissance Festival in Bonner Springs, the International Club soccer team trips, and a Karate Club tournament in Tulsa. Probably the most numerous road trips taken are one-day or weekend voyages to one of the cities around Pittsburg. It is a common complaint that there just isn't anything to do around Pitt- sburg. Luckily, the city is located close to some larger cities, including Joplin, Mo., Kansas City, and Tulsa, Okla. Students can go to the city of their choice and be back to Pittsburg the same day. Loritta Rea and her sister Laura, both Pittsburg juniors, and Beth Farwell, Fredonia senior, took a trip of this kind to Tulsa one Saturday. We went down to see the drag races ' Loritta said. I had never seen any before. But it really was just a break from Pittsburg and school. I get so involved with school and work, and so busy, that every once in a while I need to get away and do something fun, or I feel like I'll go under. Whether it be a shopping trip to Joplin or a week at the beach in Texas, road trips appear to be a good way for some students to relax and escape the monotony of school and work.—by Ron Ausemus and Stacey Sanderlin Road Trips Tradition 9 THE LURE OF the Kansas City lights often draw students to the city on weekend road trips.

The clever abbreviation stands for Older but Wiser Learning Students who have joined together as one of the newest support groups on campus. With one-third of college and University students currently over age 25 and projections of that reaching one-half by 1990, said Michael Shonrock, coor- dinator of non-traditional students, the needs and concerns of the non-traditional student are beginning to be recognized. During a typical semester, we will enroll more than 3,000 non-traditional students. Shonrock said. A non-traditional student is a student over the age of 21 who is either entering college for the first time or returning to college after an absence of two or more years. There are differences between the adult student and the traditional student. The adult students have had life ex- periences that the younger students lack, affording them a broader frame of reference regarding leadership skills, said Shonrock. The adult student is usually more motivated toward specific goals, and determined to complete a degree program. Shonrock said that after two or more years in the job market, he or she realizes the value of higher education. Maxine Young, Pittsburg senior and the President of O.W.L.S., returned to school at age 52. She admits to being scared and wary of college life. I was ready to learn about new ideas, but felt unsure of my abilities. As president, I hope to help other adult students adjust to the college surroun- dings, Young said. Shonrock, the club's adviser, agrees with Young's goals, We hope to develop an O.W.L.S. tutoring service, bulletin board, lounge, newsletter and possibly translation courses, he said. Traditional courses would be taught in areas where basic skills have been forgotten since leaving school. These areas include English, math, social studies and science. Shonrock said that traditional courses would be taught in areas where basic skills have been forgotten since leaving school. These areas include English, math,social studies and science, A new program available to non- traditional students for the first time this year is Fresh Start. Guy Robinson, Pitt- sburg freshman, is the first to take ad- vantage of this program. After serving in the Army for four years, Robinson decided to return to college. However, because of low grades on his transcript, a new beginning would have been very difficult. Fresh Start offers returning students the chance to start school again with a clean slate. All previous grades are dropped and the classes may be taken again without penalty. I'm majoring in communications and feel like I have a better chance to do a good job this time, said Robinson. It is hoped that many adults will take advantage of this opportunity. When further help is needed, the O.W.L.S. support group is there.

ONE OF THE local partying spots that University students frequent is McCarthy's Pub. Whether partying at home or out on the town, the en- tertainment often seems to be centered around alcohol. Partying Tradition Everyone has a limit Giffon urges alcohol awareness ansas Highway Patrolman Bob Giffin watches intently at the oncoming set of headlights. He patiently waits until the car is in range, then he pulls the trigger. Instantly a low pitched sound comes out of the speaker and a digital screen reads out 42 on the radar unit. Patrolman Giffin glances up at his rear- view mirror and notices something he doesn't like. Instinctively he hits his brakes and does a U-turn. ''It looks like the oncoming car that just went by us is having trouble staying in his lane. I think I will take a closer look ' Giffin said. Giffin puts the accelerator to the floor and comes within 200 feet of the late 1960s model Chevy station wagon. He slows his pace and gives all his attention to the vehicle in front of him. The Chevy wagon crosses the center line once, twice, then three times. Giffin reaches down and flips the red light switch upward. He radios Chanute headquarters that he has a possible 10-46: drunken driver on 69 Highway, just south of Highway 57. Within minutes, Giffin radios back to Chanute that he has a 10-46 and needs a tow truck. When asked about drunk driving statistics, he is quick to point out that alcohol is the number one cause of death for people between the ages of 16 and 24. The law states that a person with a blood alcohol level of .10 or higher is legally intoxicated. What this means is a person can only consume a certain amount of alcohol before they reach a point where they become intoxicated, Giffin said. A person weighing 100 pounds can only consume four one-ounce, 66 proof liquor drinks, or four 12-ounce beers before he or she is legally drunk. One can drink and still be legal. You must know your limit. Some people can drink two beers and be rolling on the floor. Others may be able to drink a six- pack with little noticable effect, but no matter how much you drink, a person weighing 200 pounds can consume six one ounce 86 proof liquor drinks or six 12 ounce beers, the patrolman reasoned. Giffin said that once a car is pulled over for a routine traffic stop or for suspected drunken driving, the officer is always looking for clues and watching the driver. He said he has noticed a new trend within the last year. People are begin- ning to become concerned about drunk driving. When I first started as a Kansas Highway Patrolman, six years ago, we didn't receive much support from the public in enforcing driving under the influence laws. Now we are receiving public support. The public now compliments us for our DUI arrests instead of ridiculing us, Giffin said. I think the greatest occurrence that I have been impressed with lately is the buddy sustem. That is where one person agrees not to drink excessively or even drink at all, he said. Lately I have pulled over several cars where everybody else is totally blitzed, including the owner of the car, but the driver is sober, This new trend toward responsibility is excellent. In fact, students are even calling me up and asking me to speak to their social group or organization. That was unheard of years ago, he said with a smile on his face. The change has to come from them, he concluded.—by Mike McCormick KANSAS LAW STATES that a person is legally in- toxicated with a blood alcohol content of .10 or higher. One way of detecting intoxication is with the implementation of a new sobriety test. Bob Giffin, Kansas Highway Patrolman, demonstrates this test to Mike McCormick, reserve officer and Overland Park senior. Partying Tradition Adjustment to college eased Peer counseling aids roo J”or students who find adjusting to college a bit difficult, a new program was implemented at Pittsburg State University. It's called Peer Counseling, and up- perclassmen volunteer their time and experience to help freshmen, transfer students and even other upperclassmen adjust to college life. Peer counseling was set up to provide minority freshmen and transfer students, as well as upperclassmen, with an op- portunity to share their problems with caring peers, and help meet their emotional, physical, spiritual and academic needs, according to Keith Harris, director of Peer Counseling Services and adviser to Minority Student Organizations. The idea for peer counseling came out of a workshop sponsored by Concerned Black Students in the spring of 1984. The workshop was designed to give minority students tips on how to succeed in college and after college. Peer Counselor Sandara Carter, Wichita senior, and Lisa Tench, Kansas City senior, said, The services offered in the workshop should be set up as part of a more specialized and sensitive orientation for minority students. With the help of Wilma Minton, vice president of Student Affairs, Dr. Carmella San Diego, former counselor for Minority and International Students, and Kim Burton, director of Peer Counseling Services at Wichita State University, the Peer Counseling Program at PSU was begun. The framework for the peer counseling program at PSU was taken from the peer counseling program at Wichita State, but there have been a few changes made. Because we don't have enough qualified upperclassmen willing to be peer counselors, we have had to accept some qualified sophmores, Harris said. Also, we don't have any indepth counseling services offered. If the counselors have any problems with a student, they refer him or her to me. Basically, we are a Big Brother, Big Sister type organization. Although peer counseling was initially established to help meet the special adjustment that some minority students have, the services offered can be used by any student. Michael Bright, director of Housing, teaches a Student Development Class that Harris recommends all peer counselors take. The class teaches skills in in- terpersonal communication, and crisis intervention skills. CBS thought that the minority students needed some help adjusting, said Minton, There were a lot of academic problems last year. I think peer counseling will help to eliminate some of them. It is also a good way to bring the minority students closer together, and give the freshmen students a shoulder to cry on. Peer counselors are initially assigned a certain amount of students to get in contact with. They check to see how students are doing in classes, if they are getting along with their instructors, roommates or resident assistants. If the students need any assistance, they are.given the name of a tutor in whatever area they need assistance in. If they are having problems with their roommate, or their resident assistant in a dorm, they are asked what they feel the problem is, and are encouraged to sit down and talk to them and try to solve the problem. If that can't be done, they are referred to Harris. We handle problems that range from homesickness to teacher—student animosity to financial aid hassles. The people we select for peer counselors have to have good interpersonal skills, have a genuine interest in people and care about their well-being, Harris said. The peer counseling program is still in its infancy, and it will probably take at least a year before it really catches on, but Minton has faith in it. I think the students will use it, if approached in a friendly manner, and I think they will see it more as a Big Brother, Big Sister type program, instead of a counseling service. —by Trenetta Tubwell SOMEONE TO TALK to is often all a troubled student needs.

Peer Counseling Traditions Home is where the heart is Housing affordable Tfhere are special problems associated with juggling married and student life. Not the least of these is finding a place to live that is affordable, yet large enough to accommodate two adults, and possibly children. East Campus Apartments, otherwise known as married housing, can be the solution to this problem at Pittsburg State University, according to Mike Bright, director of Residential Life. Bright said there are about 110 people living in the apartment buildings at any one time, including 15 to 20 children. At least one member of the couple must be a student. He said it is becoming rare for a university to have married students' facilities, because it is not generally cost-efficient, but PSU has no plans to discontinue its program. Our apartments aren't really efficient either. They just manage to pay for themselves, he said. We keep them because we feel we are providing a valuable service. There are a lot of people living out there in the apartments who wouldn't have been able to come to school at all if not for our married facilities. Kathy Merrel, housing secretary, said, There is always a long waiting list of at least 30 people, and it may take several months after filling out an application to be assigned to an apartment. Jan Evans, Pittsburg junior, has lived in an East Campus apartment with her two sons since June, 1983. She is one of about 25 single parents. According to Evans, the apartments are a nice place to live. She especially likes the fact that it is within walking distance of both PSU and her son's school. Evans also likes the atmosphere of the buildings. There's not a lot of visiting between buildings, but each building is like a community in itself. I've made a lot of close friends living here. One of the greatest advantages, of course, is the price, she said. The utilities are included in the rent, so there aren't any big surprises at the end of the month. It makes it easier to stick to a budget, The apartments rent for $150 to $200 a month, depending on the apartment size and if there is an air—conditioner. Joyce Jones, Pittsburg graduate student, has been the manager of the married housing since July, 1984. She had originally applied for a job as a residence hall director, but decided to accept the manager's job because of her son. I wasn't sure a residence hall at- mosphere would have been healthy for a 10—year—old boy. she said. I think it's really good for him to live here, though, she said. There's a playground behind the building, and other kids around, plus he can use the tennis courts and go over to the Weede Gymnasium anytime. As manager, Jones said‘her respon- sibilities include such various things as collecting money from the laundry machines, letting locked-out tenants into their apartments and handling any complaints. She says there have only been very minor complaints since her arrival. Some people want everything new and redecorated in their apartment, but don't want to pay for anything. There's nothing we can do about that, though. Two of the apartment buildings were built in 1958, and the other two in 1963. They are kept in good repair, however, by the regular University maintenance crew. I expected to have problems with noise, but all the tenants are required to sign a lease, and part of the agreement is that they be reasonably quiet after 11 p.m., otherwise it would be a problem, because of the kids, she said. Tracy and David Lee, both LaHarpe juniors, were new residents in married housing this year. They moved in just before the falI semester. We decided to move here instead of getting an apartment in town because of the price. All we have to pay for is the telephone, Tracy said. The kids are all well-behaved and don't bother anyone, and we've gotten to be real close friends with our neighbors. Tracy said they had no problem at all getting the apartment, and did not have to wait. I guess it was because it was August. A lot of people move out over the summer. Tracy summed up her feelings about the apartments saying, It's really a good place to live. I can't think of any way they could improve the apartments themselves, or the way they're run. —by Stacey SanderJin Dale 8ratton FIERCE COMPETITION CAN develop between members of a couple.

Marriage Life Tradition Plays and concerts provide entertainment etween the various campus organizations and the city of Pitt- sburg, students are offered a variety of cultural entertainment to fill the evening hours. Frequently, there is some type of activity going on somewhere on campus or at the Pittsburg Memorial Auditorium, whether it is a concert, recital, theater production or another type of event. The dramatic events this year were all part of the theme ''Mystery, Death and Revenge ' chosen by the department of speech and theater. The department's fall season began with the classic Agatha Cristie thriller The Death Trap, directed by Dr. Cary Clasz, professor of speech and theater. Two one-act plays, The Real Inspector Hound and Cosforth's Fete, directed by Barry Bengsten, associate professor, presented a new twist to the words thriller and mystery. The Women, directed by Pittsburg graduate student David Simon, and Hamlet, directed by Barry Bengsten, associate professor of theater, were the two spring departmental productions. The production of Hamlet received the award for Best Show for the 1984-85 theater season. Pittsburg Community Theater produced two plays during the school year in which PSU students participated. Livin' de Life was directed by Linda Jameson, Girard graduate- student. Nancy Jones, Pittsburg graduate student, directed the spring production of Cheaper by the Dozen. Nancy Margrave, manager of the University ticket office, said that most popular events people pur- chased tickets for during the 1984-85 were for the Performing Arts and Lectures Series. The Performing Arts Series were the most popular, especially the Vienna Choir Boys and Oklahoma Ballet's 'Nut- cracker Margrave said. The 24 angelic voices of the world-famous Vienna Choir Boys performed Nov. 8 in the newly renovated Memorial Auditorium as part of the Performing Arts Series. Founded by Imperial decree in 1498 by Emperor Maximilian I, the boys' choir has since performed at Car- negie Hall, the White House, Tokyo's Imperial Palace and around the globe. The Southeast Kansas Symphony performed Nutcracker Dec. 6 in the Pittsburg Memorial Auditorium. Life-sized toy soldiers, angels, the Sugar Plum Fairy and the Nutcracker Prince brought the beauty and excitement of Tchaikovsky's Christmas classic to life for the Pittsburg audience. A program entitled The Space Payoff was presented by Dr. Albert Hibbs, Cal Tech and Jet Propulsion Laboratory physicist, and the Jay McShann Trio's jazz concert were the other programs presented by the Performing Arts and Lectures Series. Dr. Ruth Westheimer, sex therapist and author, was to present Sexually Speaking during April, but had to cancel for her work in a movie. Margrave, ticket office manager, said that people who had already received their tickets were disappointed at her cancelation. People anticipated her coming in April, but now they are looking forward to her coming in October and have already exchanged tickets, Margrave said. La Serva Padrona and La Divina brought comic opera to the campus during February. These stories of an aging opera star's farewell performance and of a creative young maid's efforts to win a husband were brought to the McCray Auditorium's stage by the music department's faculty and students. The list of performances presented by the music department included weekly events. The annual Timmons Chapel Christmas Concert, a campus holiday tradition, was presented Dec. 12 and 14. The PSU Collegium presented the unusual Canary Funeral Music Cantata, with the cantata being sung by Dr. Burton Parker, assistant Plays and Concerts Tradition David Barton MURDER AND MAYHEM came to PSU this year, as productions of severat mysteries were performed. Giles and Mary Ralston, portrayed by David Simon, Erie graduate student, and Derrise Hussong, Riverton junior, talk about the murder in a nearby town during the production of Agatha Christie's play, The Mousetrap ' DRAMATIC PRODUCTIONS OFFER students at Pittsburg State cultural entertainment. Linda Jameson, Girard graduate student, and Mike Westhoff, Pittsburg freshman, as Ernestine and Frank Gilbreth, remember their childhood days in Cheaper by the Dozen. The play was the first produced by the Pittsburg Community Theater in the renovated Pittsburg Memorial Auditorium. CHRISTMAS WOULD NOT be complete without a showing of The Nutcracker. Pittsburg had the chance to see this famous Tchaikovsky ballet per- formed at Memorial Auditorium by the Oklahoma Ballet Company. Plays and Concerts Tradition THE VIENNA CHOIR BOYS were a part of PSU's Performing Arts and Lectures Series. The choir performed to a full house at the Pittsburg Memorial Auditorium.

Hamlet, played by Curt Crespino, Pittsburg freshman, confers with his friends in a scene from the production about a complex, troubled young nobleman in Denmark. Plays and Concerts Tradition Steven Hausi er continued from page 50 professor of music, and coordinated by Dr. James Poulos, associate professor of music. The University's concert band, under conductor Dr. Cary Cor- coran, associate professor, per- formed fail and spring concerts and participated in the third annual Four State Band Concert. The Univer- sity's Symphonic Choir, under direction of Marshall Turley, per- formed for the community during both semesters. The Southeast Kansas Symphony, the PSU jazz band, the Solo and Chamber Series, student and guest recitals, and all the other music activities kept the music department busy performing for students and area residents. The Student Activities Council once again sponsored The Limelight Presents fall and spring series. Among the performers were Pat Hazell with Hilarious Hocus Pocus, Duos, a high-energy new age jazz band, and the comedy team the Electric Zoot Suit. In addition to the cultural events, other events were also offered on campus. The Student Activity Council and Quick Rock 97 Radio Station, along with financial support from the PSU Student Senate, sponsored a five-band Feed the People Music Fest during April Apefest activities. Rick Simpson, Overland Park senior and employee of the ticket office, said that usually there is a poor student turnout at most of the campus events, probably due to the students' busy schedules. There is just too much scheduled a lot of the time. The different events are only geared to a certain percentage of the students. We can't gear something that will please all the people. Students have night classes and jobs to worry about, but it is too bad that people don't take advantage of all the activities, plays and concerts that we have here, Simpson said. By presenting their fee and ac- tivity card at the many plays and concerts, students are admitted free. The activity fee that they pay at the beginning of each semester admits them not only to athletic events, but to musical and dramatic events as well. Although the activity card is almost a free pass to all the campus plays and concerts, Margrave said that students rarely use their cards to take advantage of the various events. We see activity cards when the students come to cash a check. Most of the cards that we do see have never been punched. It is pretty sad when you think of the great ac- tivities they are missing out on, Margrave said.—by Ramona Vassar Plays and Concerts Tradition Faculty relaxes with interesting hobbies Hobbies help to avoid burn out [“or many students, a way to get away from it all is a necessity for day-to-day survival. But what about University faculty? They also need a way to get away from it all. A good way to achieve this is to have a hobby or spare time activity. Collecting antiques is an exciting and relaxing hobby for two members of the Pittsburg State University faculty. Dr. Harold Loy, chairman of the Department of Speech and Theater, started collecting antiques after he got married and was looking for furniture for his home, which is mostly decorated with Victorian furnishings. One of his oldest pieces is a massive, tall, converted rope poster bed. Dr. Loy's collecting led to the birth of his business, The Browsery Antiques. The shop has a variety of items including needlework, quilts, glass china and a few items of furniture. Dr. Loy said that he finds collecting antiques to be aesthetically satisfying. While his collegues may be found on the golf course, he can be found at an auction collecting that special antique. The antiquing hobby is my recreation, Dr. Loy said. Dr. Leland Keller, professor of biology, also collects a type of antique — medical quack devices. Dr. Keller has been collecting medical quack devices for 15 years. He began collecting the devices because of his interests in the history of medicine and his interest in antiques. These devices were used on many ill- informed, desperate and gullible victims who were looking for a cure for a disease that no doctor could cure. Victims of the quack devices believed they worked because they would shock, buzz, spark, vibrate and give off colors. Dr. Keller demonstrates these devices at PSU every four years. One of the most common devices he shows is a high voltage, high frequency, violet ray generator. The generator shocks, buzzes, sparks, and when in contact with the skin, tingles and warms the skin. This device was used to cure cancer, rheumatism, and nervous disorders. Actually, all it really did was cure the mind. People used this device, and others like it, because they were more impressed by something with visual effects, than they were with drugs and herbs, Dr. Keller said. Dr. Keller said his unique hobby is exciting, relaxing and fun to share with others. While Dr. Loy and Dr. Keller find antique collecing to be a satisfying hobby, Ted McCormick, VTI, takes to the out- doors with the horses he rides and trains. McCormick became interested in horses through his work in the 4-H program as a horse project leader. He has nine horses and boards horses for other people as well. McCormick and his family have en- tered many competitions at the American Royal, Kansas State Fair, and Tri-State Shows. They also enter a show every Sunday throughout the summer. McCormick trains his horses himself. He has two breeds — Morgan horse and Quarter horse. Once you teach them obedience, you can get them to do almost anything, McCormick said. McCormick's horses have been trained for a buggy and have participated in the PSU Homecoming parade. Horses are an expensive hobby, but the real profit behind them is the pleasure and enjoyment they bring, McCormick said. McCormick said that he finds hor- seback riding a total enjoyment, especially riding seven or eight miles on a Sunday afternoon with friends. While Dr. Loy, Dr. Keller, and Mc- Cormick each have their own unique hobbies, they agree that having a hobby is an excellent way to avoid burn-out — a way to get away from it all. —by Laura Todd Professor's Hobbies Tradition COMPUTER GAMES CAN be used as educational tools. Dr. Martin Campion, history professor, demonstrates his computer history game, Rails West, which has been put on the sales market as an educational tool.

Professors' Hobbies Tradition Students become entrepreneurs Why wait to graduate? THE ART OF screen printing is a part time job for these two brothers. Tom Thomas, Pittsburg junior, and Steve Thomas, Pittsburg senior, run their own business in addition to attending school. hy wait until after graduation to start making your first million dollars? That's a question that at least four Pitt- sburg State University students have asked themselves and tried doing something about it. Julie Butts, Humbolt senior; Steve and Tom Thomas, Pittsburg sophomores; and Steve Montgomery, Shawnee Mission junior, have proven that you don't need to wait for graduation to enter the business world. Butts, a marketing major, started on her rise to riches by putting together the Men of Pitt State and the Women of Pitt State calendars. She said she got the idea from similar calendars on the market. I call it my baby because of all the hard labor it took, said Butts. Although she found the project challenging, it was completed in remarkable time. Butts started planning and setting deadline dates over the summer of 1984. Things actually started rolling on Sep- tember 1 of the same year and in only two months the calendar came out. When the final tabulations were added up, Butts found that she had made a small profit but that the experience was much more valuable. You can't believe how good it felt to see that first copy ' Butts said. Two other students who are risking it in the business world are brothers, Steve and Tom Thomas, who have been operating a small screen printing shop since August of 1984. Steve, a commercial graphics major, said he first became interested in screen printing about two years ago and pur- chased a book on the subject. After thinking on it for awhile, he at- tended a three-day workshop in Arizona on T—shirt printing. He borrowed $4,000 from his father and bought the necessary equipment, then set up shop in a rented garage. Convincing my dad was probably the biggest problem, Steve said. Printing on mostly T—shirts, Steve does the biggest share of the designing, and Tom, a business administration major, works at finding the jobs and doing the actual printing. The majority of their jobs thus far have consisted of three area high schools, a softball team, and several fraternities and sororities. Steve said that they don't advertise much because they don't want to take too much time from their studies. Although the business is turning a small profit, Steve said, The best thing about it is that you don't have a boss and you set your own hours. Steve Montgomery, communications major, is also putting his name in business, with photography. He started by taking black and white pictures at dorm parties. Liking some of the photos, people began purchasing them from him. It wasn't long before he accepted an interest in Roche Foto in Pittsburg and bought the business. Everyone needs a creative outlet, said Montgomery. Photography is my form of creative expression. Montgomery has been in business for two years and said that he enjoys providing the service. The bulk of his work consists of fraternity and sorority parties, as Mon- tgomery is the only service of this kind for groups and organizations to take ad- vantage of. Montgomery said that he hopes to someday have enough profit from taking party pictures on various campuses to have his own color lab to reduce his cost and reduce costs to customers. I might be eating peanut butter and jelly for awhile but in the long run it will pay off, said Montgomery.—by Ron Ausemus Entrepreneurs Tradition Kent Thompson PITTSBURC STATE UNIVERSITY students voted on models for the first-ever PSU 1985 calendar, jim Summerlin, Overland Park sophomore, Mike Swortwood, Olathe sophomore, Pat Dunkan, Prairie Village junior, and Chris Mainz, Wichita sophomore, vote for their favorites as Jerry Cassidy, Overland Park senior, watches.

Dale Bratton Entrepreneurs Tradition Apefest features music test One last chance to go bananas pefest 85 was advertised as Your last chance to go bananas ' and representatives from the Student Activities Council were pleased with student response to the weekend, said Sandy Olson-Loy, Student Activities Council Director. By far the most controversial event of the weekend's festivities was the USA for Africa Feed the World Music Fest held on the practice field behind McPherson Hall. The controversy over the concert began when Quick Rock 97, the radio station who sponsored the event, and SAC asked the Student Senate to help fund the concert. The senators were unsure whether they should use student money in this way. However, after an almost unprecedented three votes, they decided to give the requested $1,000. Tom Emerson, Olathe junior and student senator, was one of the senators who voted against funding the concert. I was not against the concert itself. I voted against giving the money because we didn't have it at the time. I would gladly feed starving people out of my own bank account if I had the money. But if I didn't have the money, I'd be taking someone else's, and that is neither ethical nor commendable, Emerson said. The six-hour event featured five bands. The Clique, Etcetera, Games, The Acrylics, and Hit and Run. The Clique came in from Kansas City, Mo., while the other bands are local. The Alpha Sigma Alpha sorority also performed at the concert. The sorority put together an air band version of the song We Are The World for a Creek Week air band competition. After seeing the sorority perform, Olson-Loy was so impressed by their act that she asked them to do a repeat performance at the Music- Fest. While the concert was free to the public, donations were collected from the audience. The money collected was distributed equally between the USA for Africa fund and the Pittsburg and Joplin Salvation Armies. According to Olson-Loy, more than $1,000 was collected. She said SAC was pleased with how the concert went. Between 1,000 to 1,200 people attended the concert, said Keith Perry, Olathe senior and SAC Concerts and Dance coordinator. According to Olson—Loy, one small fight broke out, but the security was handled very well by the University Police and volunteers from the Lambda Chi Alpha, Tau Kappa Epsilon, Pi Kappa Alpha, Sigma Tau Gamma and Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternities. Perry said 50 to 60 students volunteered to work during the day, helping the bands, working security and collecting donations. Don Miller, Atchison senior, attended the concert. I thought the music was pretty good, especially for local bands, he. said. 1 think a lot of people were just there for the music, and not too worried about starvation. But, they did raise some money. My only suggestion, if they decide to do something like this again, is to start planning and promoting it earlier, Miller said. Ralph Pokorny, Nevada, Mo., senior, also attended the concert and agreed with Miller. I only heard promotions for the concert on Quick Rock, and people who don't listen to that station Apefest Tradition BANANA CREAM PIE may be easier to eat with a fork, but it is not as much fun. Denise Westhoff, Green Bush senior, found this out as she participated in the pie-eating contest as part of Apefest.

Other Apefest activities included the Scratch and Scramble golf tournament held at the Four Oaks Golf Course. Second place went to Amy McClellan, Atwood sophomore, and Vince Kanak, Atwood graduate student. Karen Carter, Pittsburg junior, and Eldon Wenstrand, Shawnee Mission junior, won third place. The banana cream pie-eating contest was held during the Feed the World concert. Five people par- ticipated in the contest with Eugene Newfield, Pittsburg resident, winning as PSU's pie-eating champ. A volleyball tournament was also held during the concert, with teams competing throughout the day. First place was won by the team of Jennifer O'Connel, Pittsburg sophomore, and Scott Moutz, Pittsburg junior. The team of Gary Turner, Jason Mueller, Mike Pruit and Frank McCIeron, Pittsburg residents, Marilyn Meeks and Marsha Har- distee, Louisberg residents, and Margaret Richardson, Wichita junior, took first place. Another Apefest activity was the photography contest, with full-time PSU students competing in the Division One category. In the color photos section, Mark Dunlap, Moran senior, won first place. Second place went to Cary Brownlee, Liberal, Mo., senior, and Neil Doughty, Pittsburg resident, taking third. For black and white photo entries, Brent Phillips, Walker, Mo., sophomore, placed first. Dunlap placed in this competition also, with a second place standing. Third place went to Jeannie Aubert, Pittsburg senior. Division two was cancelled due to lack of participation. This division was for Collegio and Kanza photographers, and any other students who have been paid for their work. Division three was for part-time students, faculty, staff and alumni. Color and black and white photos were all combined in one com- petition for this division. First place went to Scott Farrell, Pittsburg senior, with Christine Hood, Pittsburg resident, winning second. Farrel also received the third-place prize. Other campus organizations also participated in the weekend by sponsoring various Apefest ac- tivities. ARA set up a concession stand on the practice field during Music Fest and also sponsored a picnic at the college lake to begin the Apefest weekend. The Crescent Club sponsored a midnight skate at Skate World, and the Society of Automotive Engineers sponsored its annual car show on the brown parking lot. According to George Brooker, professor in the department of in- dustrial arts and technology and faculty sponsor for SAE this was the tenth car show the group has organized. We had about 100 automobiles in seven classes, and there were several thousand people there through the day, Brooker said. Other activities sponsored by SAC included two showings of the movie Dune and a bicycle repair clinic. The Jack H.

Apefest Tradition Greek Week full of competition | his year's Greek Week opened up on a high note with an entertaining air band contest, a new event that was added to the usual Greek Week activities. Jett Fitzpatrick, Overland Park freshman and Sigma Chi Fraternity representative to the Greek Week Committee, said that the contest was a success. We were very pleased with how well the contest was received ' Fitzpatrick said. Winning first place iri the Monday night contest was the Alpha Sigma Alpha sorority for their rendition of We are the World which they referred to as ASA for Africa. Dressed as many of today's top music stars, it was clear from the moment the sorority members walked out that they were going to be a crowd pleaser. The authenticity of their costumes and remarkable resemblance in appearance and action to the characters they portrayed were commented on by many members of the audience. Because of the great popularity that they received, the Alpha Sigs were asked to repeat their per- formance at the Feed the People concert on Saturday, April 27. Second place was awarded to Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority with their portrayal of the Beatles and Twist and Shout. Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity won the third-place award by imitating the band Journey. Between the air band per- formances, the Greek God and Goddess competition was held. The contestants were judged on costume, campus involvement, leadership and how they answered some prepared questions. The winners were announced at a toga party held at the Tower Ballroom on Wednesday night. Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity's Don Wheeler, Walnut senior, and Alpha Gamma Delta's Micki Pitts, Overland Park freshman, were chosen as the reigning couple. The runner-up for Greek Goddess was Linda Jo Haskins, Osage City junior, representing the Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority. Steve Montgomery, Shawnee Mission junior and Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity representative, was the runner-up for Greek God. Thursday brought Greek Letter Day, with a Greek Drink being sponsored at McCarthy's Pub. Also on Thursday all the frater- nities and sororities opened their doors in the Chapter Open House, giving tours of their houses and living accomodations. Creeks participated in a men's and a women's volleyball tour- nament Friday at the Campus Lake. Winning the women's division was the Alpha Gamma Delta sorority, with the Sigma Chi fraternity winning the men's division. A pinic for the organizations followed the volleyball tournament. Finishing the week's events was a Bed race on Saturday. The race was started at the corner of Broadway and Cleveland and ended at Porter Hall. The women's race ended in a tie between the Alpha Gams and the Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority. However, the Tri Sigs were awarded the trophy because Alpha Gamma Delta's bed fell apart during the race-off. The men of Sigma Phi Epsilon were the winners in the men's competition.

Greek Week Tradition PSU graduates lead community Schooling, alumni not forgotten | f you thought that your four years of schooling were forgotten as soon as you crossed the stage with diploma in hand, you were wrong. At Pittsburg State University, there is a large network of people who devote many hours keeping track of alumni. In addition to the paid staff, many students volunteer their time to work at the Alumni Center. A student advisory board works in many ways to help the center. It works on the fundraising telethon, Parent's Day, Homecoming, and off- campus recruitment. There are also about 25 out-of-town alumni chapters in the United States, and two International Chapters. These chapters meet at least annually to discuss campus and alumni developments. Many times, Pittsburg State leaders participate in these meetings. Dr. Ken Bateman, director of the Alumni Center said, “the chapters are involved in identifying outstanding area students who would be interested in Pittsburg State programs, in providing social functions for alumni and their families, and in coordinating fund drives for scholarships and other PSU student activities. They also keep track of alumni moving into and out of their areas. The Alumni Center, located at Ford and Joplin streets, maintains records of more than 30,000 graduates, and of course the list grows every year. This information is kept on a computer so that records may be as accurate as possible. As an Alumni Association member, one can receive address information to help locate former PSU classmates after graduation. The Alumni Association also provides many services to the University. These include a program to encourage increased support from the Board of Regents, Governor's Office, and the State Legislature. At most of the 1984-85 meetings, the Heckert-Wells science building was featured. Dr. James Triplett, chairman of the biology department, and Dr. Melvin Potts, chairman of the chemistry department, attended many of the meetings to share news about the new building and its needs. Dr. Donald Wilson, University president, said, “Alumni are often made to feel that their only value is as con- tributors of cash or property. However, meaningful contributions can be made in terms of identifying and recruiting students, offering special advice or skills, putting the University into contact with The Alumni Association also provides many services to the University. These include a program to encourage increased support from the Board of Regents, Governor's office and the State legislature. individuals, corporations and-or foun- dations that would appreciate and support our qualitative programs, as goodwill ambassadors, lecturers to our students in an area of special expertise and by continuing their involvement with the University in special ways. In 1984, Dr. Joseph “Grady Smoot was hired as vice president for development and public relations. He is in charge of fundraising programs for the University. People and businesses contributed nearly $1 million this past fiscal year to PSU. Dr. Smoot expects a 25 to 30 percent increase in the total amount of cash contributions next year. Earmarked for future funding are the addition of microcomputers, library books, faculty development grants and scholarships and a FM radio station. Dr. Smoot said, “my philosophy of life is that we all should give of ourselves to say thank you for the opportunities given us. Both students and alumni benefit from this close association. INTEREST IN PITTSBURG State University often continues after graduation. Steve and Suzy Ports, both former university students, enjoy coming back to Pittsburg and seeing the changes on campus.

Beach graduated with a bachelor of arts degree in 1974, a master of science degree in psychology in 1975, and an educational specialist degree in psychology in 1981. As a student at PSU, Beach was elected to the Student Senate, was in Who's Who, and was a volunteer for Help Now. The experience on the Student Senate gave me the confidence to seek public office after graduation, said Beach. He has been elected to two terms on the city commission, and has served as mayor twice.

Most of these activities are of the outdoor type, in- cluding, tennis, softball leagues, aerobic dance classes, swimming lessons and recreational swimming. There ts also an 18 hole golf course offered for public use. The department subsidizes groups such as PAACA- Pittsburg Arts Council, which provides cultural activities for the area, Indirectly, most students are affected by this department. Most use the public facilities and enjoy the park system. The department also employs many students as lifeguards, and attendants at the golf course. As a former student of PSU, I enjoy working with the students. Current students in the recreational therapy programs at PSU often do a practicum through our department, Horton said. One of the most recent graduates to be hired by the city of Pittsburg is Kathy Mummert Brewington. She is the manager of the newly remodeled Memorial Auditorium at Fifth and Pine Streets. Brewington and a newly formed auditorium advisory board will work to plan and schedule events for the facility. While at Pittsburg State, she earned a bachelor of science degree in elementary education and a master's of science degree in speech communication and theater in 1981. Brewington's experience in the speech and theater department included acting in school productions, and helping with the other areas of theater production and staging. She said, I hope to work closely with representatives from PSU to help ensure quality entertainment at the auditorium. Meeting rooms are also available to the community on a user-fee basis.

Pittsburg State University alumni still have close connections with the college and the town. Dick Horton, Director of Community Services in Pittsburg, oversees provisions of various activities around the area. Where are our alumni? __ife after college often becomes centered around family, job, and home, As can be expected, often lifetime friendships and loves are formed during school years that carry on forever.

Steve and Susie Peak Portz have been married three years, and have one child, Nicholas, Steve and Susie have the distinction of both being the Outstanding Senior Student of their graduating classes, Steve graduated in 1978 from the pre- med department at PSU. He was active as a basketball player, and was the president of the Phi Sigma Fraternity. After graduation, he attended KU Medical School where he is completing a residency in internal medicine, I will begin a three year fellowship in cardiology next year in Denver, Colo, ' Steve said. Susie graduated in 1977 with a bachelor of science degree in elementary education. In addition to being the Outstanding Senior, Susie was a cheerleader and Homecoming Queen. 'Teaching second grade at Blue Valley Elementary School in Overland Park is a wonderful experience. I love children, and second graders are so sweet ' Susie said. Even though their schedules are hectic, Steve and Susie find time to enjoy many hobbies. Susie teaches aerobic fitness classes in her community, jogs, and chases one-year-old Nicholas constantly. Steve still plays basketball, golf, and works on woodworking projects. Both Steve and Susie agreed, our years at Pitt State were the best foundations for our current happiness ' Another couple who share pleasant memories of PSU are Ron and Susan Neville, Both have bachelor of science degrees in psychology and master's degrees in counseling. Ron graduated in 1978 from PSU knowing that he wanted to work in the mental health field. Throughout his years at school he worked as a psychiatric aide at Mt. Carmel Medical Center. There, he learned to listen to the patients about their problems and anything else they wanted to talk about. The practical experience added to what he learned at school. Currently, Ron is a staff psychologist at the Cherokee County Mental Health Center. He is involved with the expansion of the center's biofeedback facilities, and the establishment of an employee assistance program, I work with area businessmen about problems related to their workforce. This includes giving workshops on stress- related problems, and working with businessmen, managers, and supervisors to assist them in recognizing problems ' Ron said. Susan Kraner Neville received her B.S, degree in 1975, and her master's in 1977. She also works at the Cherokee County Mental Health Center. She does both individual and group therapy, including one day a week at Elm Acres Youth Home for girls in Columbus. The one-on-one contact of counseling is especially enjoyable to me. I receive personal satisfaction from helping others through difficult times, Susan said. Recently, Ron and Susan began teaching parenting classes to interested members of the community. The classes help parents effectively cope with the day to day pressures of childrearing, said Susan. We enjoy these workshops because they give us a chance to pool our knowledge learned both at Pitt State and on the job. Ron and Susan also share many of the same activities away from the job. They play racquetball, read, and bicycle. They attend as many PSU football and basketball games as possible.

Planetarium 72 Newsline anetarium teaches us aids tension P P Twinkle, twinkle, little star how I wonder what you are. . . Did you know that billions of stars are born each year of that the composition of a human being and a star are basically the same? These are a couple of the many in- teresting facts that can be learned from attending a Russell L. Kelce Planetarium program at Pittsburg State University. The planetarium, located in room 100 of Yates Hall, wasn't originally included in the budget for the building's con- struction, said Dr. T. Bruce Daniel, department of physics. However, Leonard H. Axe, the University's president at that time, left room for a planetarium in hopes that funds could be obtained in the near future, said Dr. Daniel. Soon after the completion of Yates Hall, the needed funds for the planetarium, $40,000, were donated by Gladys Kelce. Under the constructional guidance of Bill Richie of Spitz Space Systems, the necessary equipment was purchased and in a week the planetarium was ready for its first showings in July, 1904. Two PSU faculty members at that time, Dr. Ross Anderson, a physics professor, and Robert Hart, a math instructor, were the first to give planetarium shows. The programs were presented to the public by appointment, and usually consisted of a Sunday program and an evening star show. Today, most of the planetarium's public programs are presented by Dr. Daniel, who estimates that 10,000 people attend them yearly. One of the most popular public presentations is the Moon Show, which is presented to students in grades one, two and three, said Dr. Daniel. This show attempts to aid the students with reading techniques and is con- structed to go along with current classroom subjects, he continued. One technique, with which Dr. Daniel credits much of the Moon Show's popularity, is th t many of the students' own art works are constructed into the program itself. In comparison to other planetariums, Dr. Daniel said the PSU planetarium's visual effects are very -compatable. He said that many four-year and junior colleges, within easy traveling distance, often take advantage of the planetarium's public showings. Enrollment in planetarium associated classes, such as descriptive astronomy and physical world, is very good and the classes are usually very well liked, said Dr. Daniel. In fact, students in the physical world class learn the planetarium's controls which, he said, is a good teaching technique because then they can make the sky do what they want . —by Ron Ausemus STUDENTS CAN FIND relaxation in the Russell Kelce Planetarium located in Yates Hall.

Audrey Van Becetaere Planetarium Newsline Employers study GPA GPA reflects study habits emember the long white envelope that comes in the mail following each semester? Jf the words Office of the Registrar in its upper left hand corner don't bother you, then the words Grade Report will surely make your stomach sink, beside the fact that it may be a deciding factor in employment in- terviews. After a semester of long hours spent studying, the results are reflected in a single number. This number is unaf- fectionately referred to as the dreaded GRADE POINT AVERAGE or, GPA. Although many students cringe when they hear these three letters, one's GPA has a great influence upon his future. A GPA can help, as well as hinder, chances of employment. A person's GPA can be a very helpful foot in a prospective employer's door, according to Dr. James AuBuchon, Director of Placement and Student Development Programs at Pittsburg State University. Most employers will use the CPA as a screening factor. The better the GPA, the better the chance that the employer will more seriously look at the applicant, Dr. AuBuchon said. However, this doesn't mean that a person with a lower GPA should give up hope. The Placement and Student Development Programs try to help teach students a way to overcome a marginal GPA, he said. A HICH CRADE point average could be one of the deciding factors in finding a job after college. Billie Zadokrtsky, Topeka freshman, studies in the library for a psychology exam. CPA's There are many ways to highlight other assets on an application to hopefully outweigh the negative ones, according to Dr. AuBuchon. For example, a student with a good GPA in his major field of study may state this asset and simply neglect the fact that he has a low overall GPA. Another possibility would be for students to get involved in on—campus or off-campus activities and organizations. Dr. AuBuchon recommends not only to get involved, but to join organizational committees and possibly strive for leadership positions. A part-time job can also be beneficial toward future employment. Employers like applicants who have had some kind of work experience and have had the responsibility that comes with it. If a person has a low CPA then it is very helpful to infiltrate reasons for it into their resume. Dr. AuBuchon said. Having a lot of organizational responsibilities may be one reason. Raising a family and or holding a full or part-time job are also possibilities. If there are sound reasons for an ap- plicant acquiring a low GPA, then it is important that some attempt be made to show the employer those reasons. Students with high CPA's may need more than that to impress prospective employers, said Dr. AuBuchon. Most employers look for four major qualities in potential employees: how well they have performed in the classroom; general work experience; experience working with and interacting with people; and good use of oral and written communication skills. By highlighting one's positive qualities, a student's low GPA may be over- shadowed and therefore not be so bur- densome toward obtaining a job. Of course one way of avoiding a problem such as a low GPA is to con- centrate on improving it. This may mean spending more of one's free time on schoolwork, but in the long run it could be very beneficial. It's important to keep a positive attitude and never just give up. Although one's GPA is a very important aspect of job qualifications, it is merely one that is likely to be considered. A -high GPA doesn't necessarily mean that an applicant would .make a good employee. Everything about a person will be considered in a hiring situation. Employers know that when they hire a person, they're hiring the whole person, according to Dr. Aubuchon. Therefore, if you cover all the aspects, that long white envelope won't seem quite so bad.—by Ron Ausemus Audrey Van Beeelaere Newsline A GOOD G.P.A. is the goal of every student.

David Barton CPA's Newsline Campus bookstore rates comparable Follett's defends store prices | he groans are heard everywhere on campus the beginning of each semester- My books cost $187.31! If you are like most students, this amount of money could pay for rent or food for more than a month. Quite naturally, the college bookstore usually gets blamed for the high cost. Kena Huntsinger, Columbus senior, said she believes the bookstore charges too much for everything, and marks up all their items outrageously. This appears to be a popular opinion among some students. Richard Seidler, manager of Follett's Bookstore at Pittsburg State University, insists that this is not the case. He said most students have a misconception about how the bookstore is run. Seidler said all the textbooks are sold at the publisher's suggested retail price. Follett's does not mark them up, nor do they charge for postage and freight. One reason the price of textbooks is so high is the comparatively small amount of them that are published each year-only from 10—20,000. Seidler said that the textbooks at the P.S.U. bookstore are priced in the same range as books at any other college bookstore. Investigation showed that this was, in fact, true. Five books, all used in the English Composition 101 and 102 courses at P.S.U., were compared in price to the same books at other college bookstores around Kansas. All the books were within a five cent range of each other. None of those bookstores checked are affiliated with Follett's, a nationwide chain of about 80 bookstores. We don't even make profits on text- books, Seidler said. The profit is eaten up by postage and freight charges, and other business expenses. Usually we just manage to break even. When the University itself ran the bookstore, they were consistently losing money. Follett's took over the operation six years ago. In 1983 their service record was reviewed, and their contract renewed for another five years. Another complaint lodged against the bookstore by students is about their buy- back policies. Nancy Schifferdecker, Hepler junior, said It seems like they deliberately set low quotas for the books they buy back, so they can be sure to have new books to sell too. If you don't get into the store right away at the beginning of the buy-back period, you won't get a good price for your books. And then, they pay so little for the few books they will buy back, it hardly seems worthwhile to go to the trouble of selling them at all! Seidler, however, said that if Follett's knows the books will be used again the next semester, they will buy it back at half the original selling price. Sometimes, though, the teacher doesn't get his request list in to us on time, and then we can't buy that book. he said. Follett's then sells the used books back to the students at 75 percent of the current market list price of the book. This gives Follett's, in general, a 25 percent profit, as compared to a 20 percent profit for new books. If the book will not be used again, Seidler said the bookstore will buy it at the same price a wholesaler will pay for it. We just act as an intermediary between the student and the wholesaler, and don't make any profit. This is not to suggest that Follett's never makes any profit. Other items, like pens, notebooks, and campus souvenirs, keep us in the black. Seidler said, Follett's is essentially a business, and as such, they must make a profit to keep in business. However, they cannot fairly be said to be making that profit at the ex- pense of the students.—by Stacey San- derlin Bookstore Newsline THE TEXTBOOKS AT the University's bookstore are priced in the same range as books at other college bookstore's, Richard Seidler, manager of Follett's Bookstore.

Duncan, University Police officer. w here do you park when you arrive at school? Well, if you're like most students, it's in the brown parking lot behind the Leonard H. Axe Library. By setting your alarm clock a half-hour early and getting to school before the rush you might be lucky enough to get a good parking space. However, if the clock, for some reason, fails to wake you at the proper time, then you may be one of the unfortunate ones who end up parking at the far east end of the lot. If you do park in the brown parking lot then you probably noticed an increase in the price of your parking permit this year. If you didn't purchase a permit, yet still parked in the brown parking lot, then you probably noticed an increase in parking fines. Last year it cost $6 for a brown permit. This year the price has risen to $9. Other color stickers have also experienced similar price increases. Blue stickers rose from $10 to $15, red from $10 to $30, gold from $20 to $30 and orange from $5 to $10. The basic reason for the increase is because of depleting parking funds, according to Assistant Director of University Police, Howard Herring. It's the first increase in about 10 to 15 years, Herring said. Each year the state Legislature sets a limit for which the parking expenditures cannot exceed, unless a major parking improvement task is being worked on. This year the limit was about $60,000. Herring said that all the money ac- cumulated from the parking permits and fines goes into the parking fund, stays in the parking fund, and is used for parking improvements only. Only the salaries of two office workers are paid from this money, he said. The balance goes toward parking projects and improvements. In the past, expenditures weren't as high and the fund experienced a surplus. However, for about the last 10 years the money generated from the previous year hasn't been enough to cover expenses. Therefore, surplus money has been drawn upon causing a decrease in the parking fund. Even with this year's price hike, Herring expects only to break even. Many students don't realize just how much it costs to do the essential things, he said. Painting the parking spaces costs between $5,000-$10,000 a year, before the price of labor is added. During the summer of 1984, four sections of pavement in the brown parking lot were resurfaced amounting to $10,000-$15,000 per section. Last year the fine for parking in a certain area without the proper sticker was $2. This year it's $4. The parking meter fines have also risen from 50 cents to $1. The major reason for the 100 percent increase in parking fines was because too many people were violating parking restrictions. Too many students were willing to pay $2 every now and then for a better parking space, said Herring. The criticism of the parking cost in- crease is largely due to the fact that it was such a big increase over a period of only one year. However, about five years ago the University Police had proposed a lesser parking fee increase but it was denied. The difference had to be added this year. Darrell Masoner, Director of University Police, said, Most students realize that there was a definite need for the increase, but don't like it. Even with the price increase in parking permits and fines there is no guarantee that any more money will be made than was last year. Students may obey restrictions more closely or possibly not even purchase a permit for campus parking. Regardless of whether more money is generated from the increase or not, Herring unenthusiastically expects the need for another increase in the near future. The University Police realize the need for better parking facilities, but the funds just aren't there. In the meantime students will just have to be content with the exercise they're getting in walking from the far east end of the brown parking I ot. by Ron Ausemus Parking Newsline ALTHOUGH THE METERED PARKING in front of the jack H«Overman 5tudent Center has a maximum time limit of thirty minutes, students often take the risk of receiving a fine for the extra convenience of parking close to the campus buildings. UNIVERSITY POLICE WERE the object of much student dislike after they raised the price of both parking permits and parking fines. This student received a fine for not having a permit. Melinda Webb Audrey Van Becefaere Parking Newsline Parents double as teachers Students learn at home and school EXAMINING A SLIDE of prepared bacteria is Dr. Hugh Campbell, professor in the biology depart- ment, while his son and student. Turner Campbell, Pittsburg junior, watches. Teachers-Parents Newsline f“or many Pittsburg State University students, going to classes on the first day can be a nerve-wracking experience plagued with worry and anxiety. Thoughts of new people, places, and unfamiliar teachers race across the mind. However, to a few PSU students, there is an added dimension. The face of their instructor is as familiar to them as the face of their parent. It is their parent. Instead of seeing an unknown person in the front of the classroom, students like Turner Campbell, Pittsburg junior, can say, I look and see my dad up there ' At PSU there is a small group of faculty whose children are enrolled in classes they teach. As a group, these teachers say there aren't any problems with instructing their children. Dr. Hugh Turner Campbell, biology professor said, In fact, there are no problems at all. I treat Turner like anybody else. I actually expect more out of him. His son Turner, along with 23 other students, is enrolled in the general microbiology lab instructed by Dr. Campbell. In some cases, the size of the class prevents much interaction between parent and child. While teaching American history, Dr, Robert Ratzlaff, chairman of the history department, said he rarely noticed his daughter, Julie, in class. She was just a part of a very large group, Dr. Ratzlaff said. I think that Julie might have been embarrassed by my sense of humour’' Dr. Ratzlaff said. She doesn't always enjoy my jokes. Having it known by other classmates that a teacher is your parent may require some adjusting. I get teased an awful lot about it, but it is always in fun, Turner said. People never make any cruel comments. He said some classmates harass him when he answers a question or demonstrates a lab technique, but it is all done in good humor. Some students seem to think that being a teacher's child means receiving automatic A's, freedom from homework, or an advanced peek at tests. In reality, playing the dual role of student-child is often a little tougher than being a typical student. Occasionally, a teacher may swing a little too far to the hard side to compensate for this fallacy. Sometimes I am harder on Julie, just to be sure, Dr. Ratzlaff said. It's all in order to be fair. He said there was never a problem with grading because he graded all his tests blind, that is, without looking at the students' name. I can't recognize her hand-writing, so I didn't know it was her paper, he said. In some classes, grading could present more of a problem. English compositions, speeches, or classes where grades are based on a teacher's judgment instead of the number missed on a test, might provide problems, said Dr. Ratzlaff. I don't think I'd want to take comp from my father, he said. Dr. Campbell agreed, even though he does have his son in a lab class. Although I try to treat him like all the other students, I think I really expect more, Dr. Campbell said. In spite of this, Turner said there are advantages, including a more personal relationship, a better understanding of the subject, and a feeling of ease in the class. I feel much more comfortable asking a question, especially about things I don't understand, Turner said. He added that he feels he does better in class because his father seems to set high goals for him. Besides being a teacher, he is a driving force for me, Turner said. I've got no more problems teaching Turner than anyone else in the laboratory, Dr. Campbell said. And, if I ever did have a problem with him, I'd likely deal with him outside the classroom... Having a parent as an instructor is full of ups and downs, but for the students at PSU in this situation, it appears the downs are worth it, even if it could mean a quick trip outside.—by Brian Bigley I I K Melinda Webb A GOOD HOME relationship is essential to the parent and child who are also together at school.

David Barton Teachers perform counseling duties Teachers exert extra-curricular care onfession, whatever it may do for the soul, is good for the body. Whether it be an hour on the analyst's couch, good advice given by a teacher, a few moments chatting with a friend, or being alone in a special place with a pet, talking to others is a valuable form of mental health. The belief in the value of sharing feelings or talking about problems with other people is a basis of psychology and psychotherapy. Counseling is an in- valuable aid to good mental health, and thus an important part of bodily health. Counseling is one method many teachers at Pittsburg State University use to help students cope with college and personal life. Many times, a student sees his adviser once a semester, in order to get his signature, said Larry Thornburg, assistant professor in the department of printing, and that's too bad, because we (advisers) have so much to offer them. Thornburg said he tries to see each of his 25 advisees at least four or five times a semester, and that most see him much more often. They like to come by at any time just to talk or shoot the breeze ' he said. Most of my office hours are filled with students. Many students often discuss various problems with their advisers, ranging from financial aid to living arrangements. On any given day, an adviser can hear of dilemmas on or off campus, each of which is vitally important to the student involved. Most of the problems are classroom related, but it can vary tremendously with each student. We usually talk in my of- fice, because of the privacy, but sometimes I'll take someone over to the Union and buy them a Coke. I want them to be at ease and be comfortable. I do this because I want the students to have someone to feel free to come and talk to. Everybody needs that. he said. Thornburg, who has a minor in psychology and counseling, still takes classes in counseling to keep up on current techniques. He feels that it is important to stay abreast so his students can have confidence in him. I hurt when I see someone else hurt. I have to try to help. I want to make them feel better, about themselves or their problems, because if you don't feel good about yourself, you aren't successful. I like to feel that I might have had a small part in someone's success, Thornburg said. The desire to help is strong among the advising faculty. Office hours are established to open the communication lines, personal relationships are developed by small teacher-student ratios, and time is spent outside the classroom for students in need. Dean Powell, associate professor in the printing department said, Many of the students on campus have problems. Some with teachers, some with classes, and some have personal trials to deal with. I think I should be around for someone to talk to. I feel very strongly that this is part of my job. Even i ngs, weekends.. .whatever it takes, I try to do it. I want to help, Powell said. Many reasons exist that might cause a student to seek counseling. Family problems, illness, coping with a new environment, making friends, or the pressures of everyday university life are a few of the subjects students and coun- selors discuss. The pressures on a student are so high today. Career situations are different, and many students are confused. Many cannot talk as easily with their parents as they can with others. So I try to act as an impartial person and help. The main thing I try to do is determine their problem, and then the choices available to them. I can guide them, but only they can make the decisions, said Counseling Newsline continued from page 83 Powell. Often, after a problem has been solved, the adviser is never told. He may never be told by a student how advice has worked. Most of the time I never know how much I contributed, Powell said sadly, but I keep trying. You should always go out of your way to help someone. A little effort is important. I like to try to touch base with my students quite often, even if it is only talking in the halls. Dr. Donald Ward, professor in the department of psychology, feels that students at PSL) are at an advantage when compared to other students across the country. With faculty advisers instead of hired professionals, a student can feel closer to his adviser. It is a much more relaxed, personal atmosphere, and that can lead to strong relationships, Dr. Ward said. On many campuses across the nation, student advisers are assigned alphabetically, or by student I.D. number. PSU allows the individual student to choose his own adviser, usually in the students' major area of interest. Many teachers feel this practice encourages a more personal relationship. Dr. Ward said that as a faculty, We want people to be comfortable about approaching us. We love to help. But, many people often try to avoid advisement. They need to know that we are here for them. He advises 30 students, most of them graduate students in psychology. Dr. Ward said the key to good advisement is, To take the time to work the problem out when it arises. Spend time early, and it won't get away from you. One problem that Dr. Ward faces is his training. He is qualified to counsel cases professionally, and in some instances this might affect the advisement situations. At some point my ethical concerns may come to light. Then, I would have to refer that student to a professional psychologist, he said. He explained that it would be awkward to teach a student and see him for analysis. Friends are an important part of a college student's well-being. The development of good friendships is often overlooked by many students in their busy schedules. Friends are very, very important, Dr. Ward said, and the quality of them can make the difference between making it in college or not. We all seem to need some opening for intimacy. Any strong, helping relationships are good, and friendships can often provide the basis for support that you may need. Many problems can be solved just by a simple chat in your room, Dr. Ward said. More complex problems, such as failing grades, money matters, or career choices should be discussed with a counselor or adviser. Major problems, such as those often treated by psychologists, should be left to a trained professional. Helping is great, but when you feel like you are over your head, then you need to get someone more qualified, Dr. Ward said. People who can help are available on campus. Located in Russ Hall is a counseling center available to all faculty, students and staff. It is a free service designed to help with any type of problem. It also contains a bio-feedback laboratory that is available to students. Working as a professional therapist, Carol Lewis, a graduate of psychology from PSU, is the Activities Therapist at Mt. Carmel Medical Center. She handles in- patient treatment of patients through private and group therapy sessions. Most of her counseling she says, depends on the person. We start by talking about the problems they are having, and then we begin to examine their choices. They must be allowed to make their own decisions. They must go away in control of their life. Support is best when it is backed by friends, she said, they must be open and comfortable with the situation, and very supportive. But they shouldn't handle anything they feel uncomfortable with. The most important thing to remember about counseling is that it is available at any time. Whether it is a chat with a friend on the oval, a bull—session with a favorite teacher, or a meeting with a professional therapist, giving and receiving advice and counsel is a sure step on the way to a better life.—by Brian Bigley THE COUNSELING CENTER can be an invaluable help to students who are having problems.

Counseling Newsline David Barton Tips on counseling CZ ounseling is an art that requires care. Caring about someone may be all the help they need. But these tips may help the next time you find yourself in a counseling situation. —Talk in privacy. Interruptions ruin the feelings between the parties. —Make the other person com- fortable. Relax, and don't rush his answers or comments. —Try to be receptive to his feelings. Empathy is important. —Listen to the conversation. Be attentive. —Ask questions, especially about the subject. Open ended questions, ones that require more than a simple yes or no answer, are the best. This allows the other party to speak and discuss his problems. —Define the problem, and then talk about it. Often, just presenting the problem in a new light can suggest the answer. —Suggest answers, options and choices available, but allow the advisee to choose the path he wishes to follow. He must lead his own life. —Check back later to see if the problem is solved. If not, discuss the problem again in a new light. —If at any time you feel un- comfortable with the role, refer the situation to someone better trained. Don't go in over your head.—by Brian Bigley Counseling Newsline Horaee - Mann not deserted Creativity housed within WHAT APPEARS TO BE only piles of junk, due to inadequate storage space, are actually props used by the speech and theater department. They are stored in the Horace-Mann building. David Barton Horace-Mann | t looks deserted. The windows of the Horace-Mann School are covered and the doors seem to always be locked. The only sign of life is the physical plant workers, stealthily carrying boxes and equipment in and out of the building. From the outside, this decrepit struc- ture, which sits between Hughes Hall and the Newman Center, looks like the perfect place for a Halloween spookhouse. On the inside though, the contents of this building represent creativity, imagination, and all the numerous talents related to the world of theater and drama. This mysterious building is certainly not one of the most popular, or populated, buildings on campus. Most students are not even aware that Horace-Mann exists as one of Pittsburg State University's buildings where classes are conducted. Its primary use as a storage unit, mainly for the speech and theater department, is quite a switch from its intended use when it was first built. In 1953 when PSU was still called the Kansas State Teachers College, the building served as a laboratory for elementary school teachers to teach kindergarten through sixth grades. The laboratory was one of two programs established to provided education majors with methods of gaining teaching experience. The College High School, located in what is now the Kelce School of Business, provided a high school teaching atmosphere. Dr. Harold Loy, present chairman of the speech and theater department, taught as the supervisor of all the theater ac- tivities for College High when it was open. At that time, it was possible to start in kindergarten and graduate with a specials degree on the same campus, Dr. Loy said. Around 1970, the labs were closed for two motives, the first because it was so costly to run. The laboratories were completely state supported, from the faculty to the facilities, and the state considered the cost too high. At the same time there was a shift in the philosophy in teacher education. The lab setting was no longer believed to be a typical public school. The belief was that it would be better to get the education in to public schools for a more realistic training, Dr. Loy said. Horace-Mann sat for a few years in a state of limbo until Carney Hall was torn down. Horace-Mann then became a storage building for the biology and science department, the Physical Plant and the speech and theater department. Carney had housed the theater's scene shop, stage craft rooms, costume storage and a 1,800 seat auditorium. It had taken care of all the theater department's needs. Barry Bengsten, associate professor of speech and theater, said when Carney was torn down, the department had to literally pick up and move in a hurry to the only practical place—Horace-Mann. It was either that, or go under the football stadium. So, of course, we chose Horace-Mann. It was temporary at the time, but we know we are going to be here for a while, Bengsten said. Bengsten conducts classes in costume and set construction in the run-down building, admidst the noise of Physical Plant employees moving objects in and out of the building. Horace-Mann is the only permanent home that the speech and theater department has, Bengsten said. The costumes, props and sets from such plays as A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, Pirates of Pen- zance, Annie and Chicago, are stored side by side with biology equip- ment, and rolls and rolls of paper from the printing department. Although there are many hardships with working in such poor facilities, Bengsten said that the department is not hindered by them. The many plans for a new performing arts center would be great he said, but he realizes that it is going to take years to accomplish. Dr. Wilson has been very supportive of us and very realistic. He has said there won't be anything done for the theater department in five years. There is trust among the faculty for Dr. Wilson and in five years I believe we will see some improvement in the theater at PSU. But our creativity is not hampered. All we need are two boards and a passion, and we can perform any place that people can gather, Bengsten said.—by Ramona Vassar David Barton AISLES OF COSTUMES are crowded into the small rooms of the Horace-Mann building.

Special discounts, a merchants' fair on campus and numerous radio ad cam- paigns were a part of the welcome back students received. The effort of improving relations between University students and the area merchants, has been intensified by the Pittsburg Area Chamber of Commerce. The most visible step toward a better relationship between the Chamber and the institution came at the beginning of the fall semester with the organization of the University committee, a sub- committee of the Chamber of Commerce. Dr. Fran Benham, director of Leonard H. Axe Library and chairman of the PSU committee, said the committee was developed by the Chamber to help im- prove the relationship between the two groups. “The Chamber's express purpose was to help show its appreciation to the University for its many contributions to the community. “The Chamber and PSU have had a warm relationship for a long time. Now we have begun to highlight that relationship by working closer with the THE MERCHANTS' FAIR was the first activity of the school year to involve both the Pittsburg Chamber of Commerce and Pittsburg State University. The fair was held in the Jack H. Overman Student Center, and aquainted students with the area businesses and services.

PSU Chamber of Commerce Newsline University on individual projects ' Dr. Benham said. Some of these co-sponsored events include the Roy Clark concert held at the end of the 1984 spring semester and the Chamber's third annual Rummage Riot, Oct. 6. The Chamber pledged the first $2,500 to the University with $500 of that promised to the athletic department for its help in staging the Roy Clark concert. The remaining $2,000 was promised to the technology department to be used for a national advertising campaign. Students, faculty members and University administrators helped with the rummage sale by picking up donations and transporting them to the old Safeway grocery store building where the Rum- mage Riot was held. Lois Loucks, 1983 Chamber president and owner of the Garden Shop, said that the doors opened between the two in- stitutions when Dr. James Gilbert took office as the University's interim president. “We have a lot of things in common with the University, the same goals and the same ambitions. We have just really started working closely together within the past year. “Dr. Wilson has been a great influence to the Chamber. He has a very open at- titude and is aware of the valuable assets of bringing the University and the Chamber closer together, Loucks said. Other visible efforts to continue the growing relationship between the Un- verstiy and the Chamber include the Chamber float entry in the University's Homecoming Parade and its participation in the fall faculty picnic. The Chamber also funded a “revitalization study conducted by students in the Kelce School of Business. “The University is the largest employer and industry in this community. It is important that the business people in the Pittsburg area realize the impact that the University has in this community. “The Chamber has gone over some rocky roads in the past, but we have done well in the last couple of years. If we continue working with the University on the types of things we have done in the past, I think we can avoid any hard feelings and misunderstandings between us, Loucks said.—by Ramona Vassar David Barton David Barton THE SIXTH NNUAL Rummage Riot was one ot the projects Pittsburg State University students worked on with the Pittsburg Chamber of Commerce.

David Barton PSU Chamber of Commerce Newsline Ortolani coaches Olympic swimmers PSU head sports trainer goes to Olympics P , | ride, patriotism, American tradition . . . the 1984 Summer Olym- pics, These words were resounding in the ears of Pittsburg State University head sports trainer, Al Ortolani, long before the Olympics began. Ortolani was chosen to be one of the three trainers of the United States Swim Team for the 1984 Summer Olympics. Ortolani had been chosen to be a trainer by the United States Olympic Committee for the Olympics five times previous to being assigned in April 1984 by the U.S. Swimming Committee. The first year was in 1976 and in '78 was the National Sports Festival, then in 1979 I went to the Pan-Am games. In '80 I was asked to go to Washington D.C. He was the head trainer for the World University Games in Romania, he added. The pre-Olympic training camp was in Hawaii ' Ortolani said. He and two other swim team trainers, Phil Pifer and Ted Becker, worked closely with the swim team every day until the Olympic com- petition began in July. We weren't allowed on the deck with our kids at the Olympic competition. The United States Olympic Committee took over, and the swimmers didn't really like it. Getting frustrated, Ortolani added, We couldn't touch the kids once they went inside the Olympic pool. Two coaches were fully credentialized and lived in Olympic village, only getting to come in at certain times, Ortolani explained. However, the lack of connection between competitiors and coaches did not dull Ortolani's enthusisam for his swimmers. Nancy Hogshed really made a come back this year, winning three golds and one silver, he smiled. Sippy, Cynthia Woodhead, also made a remarkable come back. Swimmers from Canada and Germany did a beautiful job, he said. The 1984 Olympics were marked by some countries boycotting, which Or- tolani said could have changed some outcomes. We would have had our hands full if East Germany and Russia would have competed, he said. We still would have won, but it would have been a tougher race. Vladmir Salenkov from Russia is the best swimmer I have ever seen, Ortolani said. There are no politics in my body to make me hate them. They are fine athletes and must abide by their country. Ortolani said the athlete he is most impressed with is boxer Sugar Ray Leonard. One time I was at the Crown Center in Kansas City and he walked up to me and started talking because he had seen me at some of the games. He is a real down-to- earth person, Ortolani beamed. I rode the elevator up with him and his family. Ortolani now plans to bow out a little bit and cut back on outside swimming activities. By the end of 1988 I plan to quit en- tirely except at PSU, he said. However, Ortolani said that he might consider in- volvement in another pre-camp. It's time for me to get out. I'm denying young people a chance to prove their ability, the trainer said, even though they'd (the Olympic Committee) rather have an old-timer like me because they're more familiar with me. We're training a lot of people who can do the same thing I can, as well, if not better, than I do, Ortolani said. Ortolani has been involved with sports at Pittsburg State University for 29 years and plans to continue as head trainer.—by Millie Myers Ortal on i -OI y m pi cs Newsline Z) mm msm fte'111 IMD,--LLtaii3= tt7;®J3 ” -«l Ortaloni-Olympics Newsline | continued from page 90 THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF Al Ortaloni, Pittsburg State University athletic trainer, are numerous.

David Barton Ortaloni-Olympics Newsline Efforts increase voter participation i | e long lines at the voting polls on Nov. 5, 1984, indicated that efforts to increase voter participation on Pittsburg State University campus and in the community were successful. Dean McFarland, Crawford County Clerk, said more than 1,500 PSU students registered, which is more than 30 percent of University's total enrollment. For the August primary elections, 20,871 citizens registered in Crawford County, and by the time general elections had arrived, 22,534 voters had registered. Ginny Mlekus, employee at the county courthouse, said this increase from the 19,172 registered voters is due to the presidential elections. Much of the increase for campus registration was due to the efforts of students who sponsored registration activities to increase voter participation. In conjunction with a statewide effort, the Associated Students of Kansas at PSU began early in September to promote interest among students to utilize their voting rights. Voter registration drives in late Sep- tember and early October were sponsored by ASK. Students volunteered to help ASK by staffing the registration tables and by being deputized by McFarland to legally register voters. Jerry Casidy, ASK campus director and Overland Park senior, said that often students don't vote because they say my vote does not matter or legislation being passed does not affect me. Legislators, in general, do not listen to students because they generally do not vote. If they would just get out and vote, the issues that affect them, such as financial aid, work study and students salaries would be dealt with more seriously, Casidy said. Casidy said that on the state level voter turnout was excellent and that on the national level, students had a big voice in the election of national, state and local candidates. I would hope that these elected of- ficials will pay attention to the number of students that have voted when weighing the proposals from ASK and other student organizations, Casidy said. The large number of voter turnout resulted in long lines and some confusion at some of the polling places in Pittsburg. Some students and county citizens did not go to their correct voting place. The long lines were caused by the increased number of voters and the confusion came from the fact that many of the students assumed that they were to go to the Weede gymnasium to vote. Many of the students did not look at their registration cards closely and others had not been registered properly to start with. Another problem faced students who registered through ASK to vote on an absentee ballot. Some of these students signed up for the ballots but did not receive them prior to the general election and could not vote. Despite these few problem areas, the voter registration and participation of PSU students for the 1984 elections was up compared to previous years. Casidy said that he didn't know how many students actually voted, but he was pleased with the number of students who became involved in the election process.—by Ramona Vassar VOTER TURNOUT WAS, as always, a big question at the polls.

Nationwide, Reagan received 58 percent of the popular vote to Democratic can- didate Walter Mondale's 41 percent. Reagan's landslide was marked by victory in all states except Minnesota and the District of Columbia. Mondale received only 13 electoral votes to Reagan's 538 electoral votes. Walter Mondale conceded victory to Reagan in St. Paul, Minnesota, congratulating him saying, Tonight we rejoice in our democracy, we rejoice in the freedom of a wonderful people and we accept their verdict. I thank the people of America for hearing my case. Mondale's running-mate, Geraldine Ferraro, the first woman to seek the vice presidency, said, My candidacy was a credible campaign showing that women can run for office, that women should be considered for national office, and that we've finally opened up the doors of opportunity for women throughout this country. Ferraro's nomination apparently made little difference in voting Tuesday. Ac- cording to an Associated Press Poll, only 11 percent of those polled considered Ferraro's sex a very important factor in how they voted. Attracted by President Reagan's op- timism, America's youngest voters, for the first time in history, helped hand a Republican president a victory. The 18-to-24-year-old voters backed Reagan more strongly than any other age group, 62 to 38 percent, ABC exit polls showed. Evidence of this support was shown on the campus of Pittsburg State University. Many students voted for the first time, showing their support for President Reagan. Voter registration was up and political groups were very active on campus prior election day. Karl Hassard, a graduate student in the physical education department worked hard campaigning for the Republican party. The vote, he said, reflects the positions young voters expect to hold in society. In the 1960s, Hassard said, people expected to become teachers, social workers, and city planners. Now they expect to work for business. The Republican party traditionally favors the conservative business minded American. Voting was reported heavy at three University precincts, as students turned out to support their favorite candidates. An election day rally was held at Gibson Dining Hall where students were served a cake decorated as the American flag. As his campaign wound down in its final days, President Reagan added a new line to his speech, You ain't seen nothin' yet. During the pre-election weeks, Reagan did not reveal his economic plans for a second term. He did, however, promise not to raise taxes or cut Social Security benefits. It is thought that very little will be done to cut the huge Federal deficit. Even with optimistic assumptions, the Congressional Budget Office predicts deficits will rise steadily to $238 billion by 1988. Perhaps Reagan's most powerful ally was his ability to spark a positive response in the majority of people. The citizens of the United States want a president who can create a program that will make them safer, stronger, and wiser in the next four years. The vote is in, and now it is time for President Reagan to meet and overcome the challenges of his office.— by Margaret Downing Voters Election Newsline VOTER TURNOUT WAS excellent at the Pittsburg State University precinct at Weede Gymnasium on November 6.

Steven Hausler Steven Hausler Voters Election Newsline Audrey Van Becelaere APPLYING FOR SCHOLARSHIPS can require the filling out of many long and complicated forms. Although this can be a hassle, students find the task worthwhile in the end. THE ACT FAMILY Financial Statement is only one of the forms that students must fill out in the financial aid application process. The financial aid office on campus offers advice and guidelines to the students to help avoid hassels with this and other application forms. Audrey Varv Beeelaece Scholarships Newsline Money still available Scholarships not affected by cuts | n the 1985-86 school year, Pittsburg State University will distribute around 6.2 million dollars to it's students. This fact is according to Dr. William Bushaw, director of the Financial Aid Office. The money will be in the form of scholarships, grants, loans, and work opportunities. In 1983, PSU awarded nearly $400,000 dollars in scholarships to 750 students. Seventy-five percent of the full-time students received some form of financial aid. The scholarships are offered both through PSU and various non-collegiate organizations. There are some requirements for scholarship winners. Most scholarships offered through the university are awarded on the basis of past academic performance, test scores, leadership, character, and financial need, according to the Financial Aid Office's scholarship handbook. Students who apply should have superior academic records. This handbook lists 48 scholarships available to incoming freshmen. The most popular of these is the Presidential Scholarship, four of which are given out each year. Each winner receives $1,000 each year for four years. Also listed are 138 scholarships for which currently enrolled students may apply. They are not generally renewable. According to the handbook, these range in value from $50 for the D.D. Moore Speech and Theater scholarship to $2,000 for the J. Loranger Memorial, which is offered through the School of Technology and Applied Science. Most, however, range between $300 and $500. There is a mid-March deadline for the application any scholarships awarded through the Financial Aid Office. According to Wilma Minton, Vice President of Student Affairs, the ap- plications for freshman scholarships are all pooled together by the Financial Aid Office. The Scholarship Committee then awards the available money to the winning students. This committee consists of 10 in- dividuals, two of which are student representatives from the Student Senate. The remainder are faculty and ad- ministrative personnel. In contrast, most scholarships awarded to currently enrolled students are handled through the individual departments. There are scholarships available in all four schools, as well as athletic, general, and graduate student awards. The College of Arts and Sciences offers the greatest number of scholarships, at 38 percent. If you are unable to find any University scholarships that fit your needs, there are still non-col legiate organizations. A listing of these scholarships are available in the College Blue Book- Scholarships, Fellowships, Grants and Loans. There are eight general areas in which scholarships are available. These are geographical area studies, environmental studies, humanities, technology and life, medical, physical and social sciences. Scholarships available to minorities are also listed in the book. Thirty-one percent of the awards are in the medical and social science areas, while 28 percent are in the life and physical sciences, humanities and technology.—by Stacey Sanderlin David Barton ONE OF THE many activities of Wilma Minton, Vice President of Student Affairs, includes a membership on the scholarship committee.

Scholarships Newsline Worshipdepends upon committment A QUIET MOMENT can be hard to find, but is always a welcome break from books, papers, and tests. These students enjoy the time they can spend praying or meditating in front of a crucifix. Patterns may vary away from home Rrtterns that have been developed in childhood change rapidly when a student leaves home to attend college Such is the case, for many students, regarding religious activities. Although these students attended church as children, they no longer do so now. Kena Huntsinger, Wichita senior, is one of these students, I stopped going to church because I think it is too full of rituals ' she said. I believe in God, but I do not think it is necessary to go to a church to worship Him ' There are students, however, like Tom Emerson, Olathe junior, who have had the opposite experience. Emerson is one of about twenty students who attend Open Door Fellowship Center, and he also directs the church's music program. He has only been attending church for the last two years. He started going then mainly as a challenge to himself. I wanted to see if I could change my entire lifestyle that much, and become a different kind of person. I discovered that I could, and my life is much better now, he said. Church is not just a once-a-week commitment to Emerson. I would never belong to a church I couldn't become really involved in. That's why I enjoy directing the music program. It's a way of giving back to God some of what he has given to me. Charles Hensley is the assistant minister at Open Door Fellowship Center. He said that although the church does nothing special to attract college students, they do have a college group that meets monthly, as well as a college-level Sunday School class. I think that most students attend church to gain a sense of stability, Hensley said. They are leaving home for the first time and feeling insecure and unsure. Church gives them something to hang on to. Father Dwight Birkett, who has been priest at the Pittsburg State University Newman Center since July, agrees with this evaluation. The students need to go somewhere where they will be sure to be accepted, he said. Between 200 and 300 students attend one of the three Masses that are held each Sunday at the Newman Center, although only about 25 attend the daily morning Masses. Non-students from the community also regularly attend the services. Our goal at the Newman Center is to fulfill all the needs of a student:mental, physical and social, as well as religious, Father Birkett said. We want to provide a convenient, motivating way for students to become involved in church. Mostly, though, we just try to be here to listen. Religion is not restricted to just Sunday morning services. There are numerous religious-oriented clubs around the University that one can join. Campus Christians is one of the largest of these organizations, with around 25 regular members. Some of their activities include regular Wednesday night Bible studies, visits to nursing homes, monthly prayer breakfasts, and retreats. Other religious organizations include Ecumenical Christian Ministries, American Baptist Campus Ministries, Lutheran Student Center, Chi Alpha, and Fellowship of Christian Athletes. The purpose of these clubs is not to convert anyone or act as a replacement for churches. Rather, like any club, they try to provide a comfortable meeting place for students to enjoy fellowship with other students that share their interests.— - by Stacey Sander!in 100 Religion Newsline David Barton BEAUTY AND SERENITY can be found within the confines of a chapel.

Religion Newsline 101 Policy protects students from harassment and unfairness Campus strives to provide educational equity D | ittsburg State University is committed to a policy of educational equity. Accordingly, the University admits students, grants, financial aid and scholarships, conducts all educational programs, activities and employment practices without to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, marital status, ancestry, or disability. This statement is found in the beginning of the PSU 1984-86 catalog. It expresses the University's desire to create a fair learning environment for all students. Part of a fair learning environment is freedom from harassment by instructors or peers. According to the American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, to harass is to disturb or irritate persistently, to wear out and exhaust. Teresa Massa, equal opportunity officer at PSU, said that society's primary focus currently is on sexual harassment. Women are beginning to realize they have rights, and are refusing to put up with offensive actions. Consequently, there is a great deal of publicity focused on sexual harassment right now. Massa defined sexual harassment as any action or behavior that makes someone uncomfortable. Professors know they cannot discriminate openly. However, they can make the atmosphere on campus very uncomfortable for a student. Most of the time, however, the harassment is not intentional. Massa said. It's a communication problem. The professor says something he doesn't realize is offensive, but a student in the class finds it so. Most people can't communicate, although they think they can. They need to learn how people perceive words. This is a new field we are only just learning about, Massa said. No one thinks anything about the phrase 'blind alley,' but this could be offensive to a blind student. In the same way, the phrase 'over the hill' is poten tially offensive to an older student, and 'black and white' could offend a black student, Massa said. Massa did not feel harassment was a big problem at PSU. My job is mainly to make people aware that there is a potential problem, but that something can be done. All our cases are strictly confidential. This makes it easier to reach a solution. I don't impose a solution myself. I help get other people together and com- municating, like a marriage counselor, Massa said. Massa said that her goal with Af- firmative Action is to reach a time when people are judged by their talents and abilities, not their family, origins, or disabilities I don't expect people to be completely unprejudiced. That would be impossible. I do expect personal prejudices to be left out of the work and school en- vironments. Georgia Anthony, Fort Scott senior, was a victim of sexual harassment at another university. I have never had any problems at Pittsburg. My professors here have been very good that way, Anthony said. Anthony was one of two females in a class. The professor came right out and said he didn't think women should go to college. He thought they should just stay home and have babies. Once, we were doing some videotapes. They had the camera focused on my face, and he said, 'Lower it, the view's better' . He would say things like that all the time. Even some of the men in the class were offended, Anthony said, Anthony and her classmates did attempt to do something. They wrote a petition, signed it and took it to the school's department chairman. However, Anthony said, nothing was done. This really made me angry. As far as I know, he is still teaching there. The worst part, though, Anthony said, was the way it made her feel. In a situation like that, you feel like it's almost your fault. And when nothing is done, it reinforces that feeling. You just have to realize it's not your fault, you are dealing with a person who has severe problems, she said. Women like Anthony are far more likely to be the victims of sexual harassment than are men. Dr. Kathleen Nichols, director of women's studies and professor of English at PSU, believes this is so because there is a general assumption in this society that women are inferior beings. Harassment is not a new thing. It's just that people are becoming aware of it now. For many years, women just accepted the treatment they were receiving. They actually felt inferior. They felt the judgement men were putting on them was correct, Dr. Nichols said. Harassment, Dr. Nichols said, can be either direct, aggressive and persistent actions or statements, or a series of subtle behaviors that implies that the victim is in some way inferior or incapable. Legally, however, the harassment should have some negative consequence, such as a lowered grade or a loss of money. Dr. Nichols is pessimistic that the problem of harassment will ever be really solved. In government-connected facilities, such as the university, the problem will eventually come under control, she said. Once the federal government becomes aware of the problem and decides to do something about it, the problem will come to an end. All they have to do is threaten to remove their funding from the institution, and people mysteriously become anti-harassment. In private industry, however, the problem is more severe. Control through money is more difficult. And women do not want to risk losing any money or, perhaps, their job by complaining, Dr. Nichols said. Dr. Nichols believes another stumbling block to the eradication of harassment is in women's attitudes toward themselves. Most women are raised to be timid and to bow to authority. They are not trained to value their own opinions as much as those of others. When a man hears an opinion, he 102 Harassment Newsline David Barton PROBLEMS WITH PREJUDICES or harassment are almost inevitable in a large, mixed community such as PSU campus, according to Teresa Massa, Af- firmative Action Officer. Massa tries to avert possible problems, and solve them when they do come up. SEXUAL HARASSMENT IS a recognized potential problem at any university. The Policies Book of PSU, which sets down rules for both students and faculty, contains this section, defining sexual harassment, and stating what the punishments for such action will be. 0 1 r ittsburg State University PP° TUNlTits ef f'j « aPe'V f°r th°“ i01” thev U, in representation, i„d, ' � « « lc� .lT „dlddM 3 VMCV have t in representation, tnc)ud. ‘ a™«nUtratiu All persons regardless of e or manager! ! aining programs.

When they hear an opinion that differs from their own, they believe they are wrong, Dr. Nichols said. The first step in getting a harassed woman to take action is to convince her to have confidence in herself. Dr. Nichols said. “When a woman is harassed, she tends to internalize her feelings, and take the action personally. She will even half- believe she is wrong. If a professor says something demeaning, she will even half- believe him, because he is a person of authority. “A woman has to make a conscious choice not to let negative things affect her image, Dr. Nichols said. The next step, then, Nichols said, is to take positive action. “It is much easier to get someone to take action if they feel they are in the right. “Women need to learn to be assertive. If they feel harassed, they need to thoroughly document the situation, and then report it, Dr. Nichols said. Many students do not report incidents of harassment because they are afraid it will affect their grade, Dr. Nichols said. “They do not realize we have a grievance procedure, agreed on by all four schools, at PSU. If a woman makes a complaint and her grade is affected, her case will actually be strengthened. If she can prove her grade really was affected, she will be sure to win the case. Dr. Nichols does not believe all men deliberately harass women. “Often, they believe they have a right to do what they do. Or, they don't even realize what they are doing. It's just ingrained habit from 2,000 years of believing women are inferior. “Many professors even try to help their female students be more assertive, but they don't know how. The important thing, of course, is that they are trying. It's the first step in a long process, Dr. Nichols said. The only way to overcome the harassment problem is to change deeply ingrained male and female attitudes toward the female sex. It won't be an easy process, but it can be done, she said. Women, however, are not the only victims of harassment. Dr. Dale Frihart, chairperson of the Department of Social Sciences, defines harassment as “a focused attempt to demean someone because of a condition of birth or something over which they have no control. He stated that there have been reports recently of a reversal of traditional harassment in the work place. That is, women are now harassing men. In part this trend is due to a desire for vengence, Dr. Frihart said. “You have heard of the adage 'Don't get mad, get even.' Women are getting even. “Unfortunately, this is a very destructive pattern. Wars have continued for years because people feel the need to get even. The pattern can be broken, but only if there is a desire to do so. Unfortunately, some people are not as humane as we like to think. They derive pleasure from the pain of others, Dr. Frihart said. He is also disturbed by the resurgence of racial harassment in recent years. “It is no longer just the so-called red- neck that tells degrading racial jokes. Educated people, who should be more sensitive, do so too. Lack of sensitivity, Dr. Frihart believes, is one of the major causes of all harassment. But there is another cause of harassment that is often overlooked, he continued, “and that is competition. “Competition is not bad in moderation, but our society glorifies it. And, in order to compete, we must pair off against each other. It is when the pairings involve sexual, ethnic or other such differences that competition can become harassment. Dr. Frihart said “People are protecting themselves, their vantage point. —by Stacey San- derlin 104 Harassment Newsline Harassment Newsline 105 Internships test students' education On-the-job training available INTERNSHIPS GIVE STUDENTS a chance to receive valuable work experience while attending college and receiving college credit. Mike McCormick, Kansas City senior, worked with Sister Agnes Weber, Director of Mount Carmel Medical Center, for his internship. David Barton O ne of the true tests of education is to put the student's knowledge and skills that he or she has gained at school to work in an actual on-the-job setting. At Pittsburg State University, depart- ments supervise students who gain valuable experience while actually assuming duties assigned by cooperating employers. Michael McCormick, Overland Park senior, is one such student. McCormick is a communications major with a public relations emphasis. He interned at Mt. Carmel Medical Center with Krista Postal, the hospital's public relations director. For one semester, he assisted with the hospital's advertising, marketing and community services. He helped write the hospital's emergency room brochure and the Christmas Wish Book. The Wish Book contained items that the community's citizens could donate to the hospital. I also helped Krista research Crawford County's demographics and economy for future marketing possibilities. McCormick said. One of his busiest times was at Mt. Carmel's Health Fair held at the Pittsburg Mall. The fair promoted preventative health care for area citizens. For instance, there were oral cancer screenings, blood sugar checks and aerobic dancing demonstrations. All this took the cooperation of health care professionals and was coordinated by the hospital's public relations department. It felt good to see all the planning come to life that weekend, McCormick said. While no pay is given for an internship, the student does receive two credit hours for the ten hours per week spent on the job. Thomas Lester, associate professor in recreation, advises students and helps them find locations for practicums and internships. He has helped students receive positions in many areas of the country such as Alaska, California and South Carolina for internships in health care settings, resorts and even a prison in California. Lester also advises those in the recreation administration program. These students must complete sixteen credit hours in actual field work before graduating. This amounts to about two hundred actual hours spent in the job setting, said Lester. Community recreation departments cooperate in this capacity. Janice Hunt, Pittsburg graduate in accounting, returned to receive this specialized training. In addition to teaching aerobic dancing for the Pittsburg Community Services department, she is also doing field work for the Student Activities Council at Pitt State. My duties range from working a racquetball tournament at the University to helping with the annual golf tour- nament sponsored by the Council, said Hunt. The School of Technology has also advised students who wish to intern. This past summer, students in the Automotive Technology department were able to work for major automobile manufacturers as part of a specialized training program. The Oldsmobile Division of General Motors selected seniors Tom Caretson, Beloit, Wis.; Dan Detmer, Ellinwood; and David Dvorsky, Overland Park, for training. Training at the Ford Motor Company were Steve Corle, Coffeyville junior, and Doug Reed, Chanute senior. Kenneth Gordon, associate professor of automotive technology, said, These training programs include administrative and technical assignments and expose the students to the service and manufacturing process within an automotive en- vironment. Oldsmobile recruited 160 people for internships this year and PSU hopes to have students chosen again. This is a new program for the Ford Company. The internships involved customer service complaints, sales complaints and analyzing owner complaints.—by Margaret Downing 106 Internships Newsline David Barton FILING COMMERCIALS IS one of the many duties of Jeanie Aubert, Pittsburg senior.

In November, state attorney general Robert T. Stephan filed suit against the Regents for an alleged violation of the open meetings law. This came after the Regents approved the gradual elimination of five masters degree programs at Emporia State University. Stephan's lawsuit alleged that discussions involving elimination of academic programs, budget cuts and declining enrollment at ESU were not open to the public. Closed sessions by public agencies are allowed only under a few circumstances, including discussion of personnel matters involving specific people, which was the reason given by the Regents for having a closed session. The suit charges that eight board members met June 29 and Sept. 20, 1984, in Topeka and that eight met in Wichita on Oct. 18. The Regents were charged with discussing the deletion of academic programs, declining enrollment and budget cuts at ESU during these sessions. In response to the suit, the Regents admitted that they had broken the Kansas Open Meetings Law by having closed meetings. No fine was assessed to the Board, but a comprehensive explanation of the Act was given to the Board by their attorneys. In the future, the Board will be required to give publication of notice of any meeting. That includes open meetings where the meeting will be adjourned and then there will be an executive session, Jean Sagan, associcate council for the Board, said. There was no fine because the Board admitted that they had broken the provisions of the act, Neil Woerman, spokesman for the Attorney General, said. They will, however, be given an ex- planation of the act so there will not be a problem in the future. In other business during the year, the Kansas Board of Regents voted to increase foreign language requirements to a mandatory 10 hours for all Bachelor of Arts candidates. This followed a review of the foreign language programs at the six state- supported schools. According to Kansas Department of Education statistics gathered by the Regents from a report by Maria Collins, foreign language specialist, five of the universities had a foreign language requirement for the B.A., but only three of them required enough credit hours to allow the student to progress past the elementary levels. Other changes resulting from the Regents review were to discontinue the Bachelor of General Studies in East Asian, Slavic, French and Italian languages at Kansas University and to eliminate the Master's degree in foreign languages, multiple emphasis, at Emporia State University. The Board discontinued the Bachelor's degree in Italian at Wichita State University and merged German with the Romance languages — French, Spanish and Latin. At Fort Hays State University, the Regents voted to discontinue Russian and Latin, but increase the strength in the remaining languages. FHSU was also to have the 10-hour B.A. requirement and a minimum of 35 hours for a major. In January, Governor John Carlin appointed three new members to the Board of Regents — Dr. Bill Roy, D- Topeka; Richard Reinhardt, D-Erie; and Frank Becker, R-El Dorado. They replaced Archie Dykes, R-Topeka, and James Pickert, R-Topeka, both of whom submitted their resignations from the Board, and George Wingert, D- Ottawa, who did not seek reappointment at the end of his term. — by Cece Todd 108 Regents Newsline THE BOARD OF Regents make important decisions regarding some Kansas universities.

One ingredient is the merge of the school of technology and Vocational Technical Institute. PSU President Dr. Donald Wilson Organizational Com- munication and works at promoting a posotive outlook. Certain classes and curriculum have been modified and changed to improve requirements and standards. Changes in life contain many ingredients, and PSU is no ex- ception. The KANZA staff retrospectively presents Changes. THE CHANCE OVER to the Contell phone system created many potential problems for phone users. Classes were held to teach students, staff, and faculty how to use the new system, Mary Marshall of the Cashier's Office, Becky Morrison of the Business Office, and Virginia Markle of the physics depart- ment attended one of the workshops. Debbie Campbell, the Contell representative for this area, gave the PSU staff a chance to try out some of the new system's functions after a brief lecture. Changes Divider Changes in President interposes mutual achievement Focus shifts from plans to action 5,nce the day University President Dr. Donald Wilson stepped on campus for his first ''meet the press interview, Pittsburg State University has undergone much long-range planning — goals and ob- jectives have been planned and met. After 11 months on the job at Pittsburg State University, my perceptions, goals and objectives have changed somewhat from those articulated on May 1, 1984 ' Dr. Wilson said in his November President's Self-Assessment. One of the major changes is that I now have a better and stronger understanding of the priorities for significant institutional development and achievement. These goals and objectives reflect input from all constituent areas within the University. My focus has shifted from an em- phasis on learning and planning to action and implementation, Dr. Wilson said. He added that the health of PSU requires there be changes and action, but also a drawing together of faculty, staff, administrators, students, alumni and friends to achieve shared or mutual goals of achievement and excellence. By February of 1985, a large percentage of Dr. Wilson's goals and objectives had been achieved. While Dr. Wilson's goals for plannning continued with the on-going work of the University Planning and Coordinating Committee — a 16-member committee set up by Dr. Wilson in March of 1984 to develop a comprehensive plan for goals and objectives — the completion of his other goals reflected his new focus on action and implementation. This action included the merging of the School of Technology and Applied Science and the Vocational Technical Institute, and a shift toward in- ternationalizing the curriculum at PSU. Originally planned to be finished no later than June 30, 1985, the ad- ministrative VTI merger was nearing completion in February. We need the unique strengths of both areas, but their full potential can only be realized through integration, Dr. Wilson said in his self-assessment. Under the merger, the administration would be able to maximize the classroom space and the faculty to benefit both programs. Dr. Wilson also said the integration of the two areas would make it easier for a student who is enrolled in the VTI to enter into the four-year program. Dr. Wilson took several trips abroad to Taiwan, Venezuela and Indonesia as part of his plan to internationalize the curriculum. Pittsburg State University really has to think of itself as more than simply a small, local university. But, a part of our real problem has been our own mentality; our thinking we can't do too much because we're located in this little corner of southeast Kansas, Dr. Wilson said. We shouldn't feel badly about our location or what we have. We've hardly scratched the surface of our potential. Dr. Wilson's plan called for the University to develop and organize an integrated American Language Program by Fall, 1985; increase the general course and foreign language opportunities between Fall, 1985, and Fall, 1986; establish cooperative exchange programs with Venezuela, Thailand, Indonesia and Brunei; establish an international program office and explore the feasibility of an international residence hall by Fall, 1985. By February, cooperative exchange programs with universities in Taiwan had been completed, and Dr. Wilson designated the Pacific basin areas and Latin America as primary recruiting areas for PSU. Dr. Wilson said that PSU could not afford not to recruit internationally. This will improve the liberal arts, augment enrollment in some of our programs and be good for the whole community apart form the college. Our regional and international outreach shows a new mental set on the part of the institution. It doesn't look at itself as this poor little institution down in the southeast corner of Kansas, he said. We are opening up the window of the institution to the wider world. —by CeCe Todd THE DEDICATION OF Heckert-Wells Hall last fall was one of the events Dr. Donald Wilson, University president, attended.

David Barton New positions implemented hanges are a way of life that one, whether an organization, department or individual, must adjust to and cope with. On the administrative level, changes included an administrative re- organization with new titles being given to some long-time personnel, new positions being created, and new people being hired to fill old positions. Vice president titles were given to Clifford Beogher, Business and Fiscal Affairs, and Wilma Minton, Student Affairs, in their respective areas. Minton said the new titles were given because, Clifford Beogher and I already had responsibilities equal to those of the other vice presidents ' Minton said the only change was in title, none of her responsibilities were changed. Two new directors' positions were created during the fall semester of 1984. One of these positions consists of over- seeing the Financial Aid and Admissions offices, and the other is in charge of general University and departmental brochures, posters and flyers. A new face in the administrative circle was Dr. Joseph Smoot, who was named vice president for Development and Public Affairs in May, 1983. Also new at PSU was Mike Bright, director of Residential Life. Bright had previously been a residence hall director at Texas Tech., and a guidance counselor at an international school in Venezuala. Bright said his goal at PSU was to make the dorms feel less of an institutional-type residence hall, and more like a home. Michael Shonrock also joined the administrative staff as director of Student Life. Shonrock is especially interested in international and non-traditional students. Steve McLaughlin, was named director of the Jack H. Overman Student Center, and Bill Bushaw replaced G. E. Bloom- camp as dfrector of Financial Aid. Bloomcamp and Overman both retired. International students and international education will be increasingly em- phasized, she said. Studies have shown that 10 percent of graduates will work overseas at some time, she said. The University will also be increasing emphasis on outreach and development. Minton said this was the reason Dr. Smoot was hired: development means fund- raising. All the changes reflect Dr. Wilson's goals for the University, according to Minton. The number one priority around here now is recruitment, admissions and retention. If our enrollment drops, we lose funding and that hurts the students, Mi nton said, —by Stacey Sander!in 114 New Positions Changes David Barton GOING OVER PAYROLL is one of the respon- sibilities of Bill Bushaw, new director of financial aid.

David Barton i New Positions Changes 115 Changes Changes Physical science David Barton | n the good old days, in order to fulfill a general education requirement a student took, among other things, three hours of math and three hours of science. If the proposed changes in the physical sciences department take place, students will be required to take three hours of math, three hours of biological science, and three hours of a physical science. Currently, students are required to take three hours of science, which unless specified in the B.A. requirements for a particular school, are usually general biology or environmental life science, even though there are nine other science courses to choose from, including rocks and minerals and astrology. According to Dr. Robert Backes of the physical sciences department, the ad- dition of the physical science requirement is necessary to give students a better rounded general education background. Students were coming out with an educaton that didn't educate them as well as we felt they should be educated in some areas, Dr. Backes said. Under the new requirements, an ad- ditional three hours of physical science would be necessary. One reason for the proposed change is that it would narrow the students choices down. Another reason for the change is that it would lessen the workload of some of the instructors. Currently, there are seven instructors teaching physical sciences courses. Two of the seven are from the social sciences department. If the new requirements are accepted, it is hoped that some of the related classes maybe combined. The three hours of physical science will be divided into two areas: core material and topic material. Core material is what we think physical science students should be exposed to — the fundamentals of physical science. Topic material is the supplemental material found in the text book ' Dr. Backes said. Students would receive one hour of credit for taking core material courses, and two hours for taking a physical science class or a class in a field related to physical science, such as astronomy. The new program is currently being experimented with in the physical sciences classes. Although the instructors were enthusiastic about the program in the beginning, some of that enthusiasm is beginning to wear off. Trying to find core material to relate to topic material in the lesson, making up two separate tests, one for topic and the other for core material, and how the students comprehend the material presented in class are just a few of the problems that the instructors are ex- periencing, Dr. Backes said. According to Dr. Backes, students' and teachers' opinions on the new program will be important in deciding whether or not to add a physical science requirement to the general education requirements. Changes on campus Changes 117 NEW TAPE EDITING equipment is part of the changes that are taking place in the Radio and T.V. program, located in Grubbs Hall, Kristeen Walker, Anderson senior, works with the newest piece of equipment, a J.V.C. tape editor that will give students a chance to learn new skills. David Barton Communications C Ganges in curriculum are occurring throughout the University. The Depart- ment of Speech and Theater is no ex- ception. Most of the changes are taking place in the Broadcasting and Public Relations sequences of the com- munications major. Dr. Harold Loy, department chairman, said, Subjects that once were required, such as Speech for Personal Relations, a course that is currently required for Public Relations majors, has become, under the new program, an elective. A new course. Layout and Design, has become a new requirement ' In the Broadcasting sequence, quite a few courses have been added and dropped. Students entering on the old program . Changes on campus 118 were required to take Beginning Film, Introduction to Radio and TV, and Radio and TV Announcing, among other classes, along with twelve hours of electives, which included Introduction to In- structional TV and Editorial Writing. Under the new program, as outlined in the 1984-86 curriculum guide, Beginning Film and Introduction to Instructional TV have been discontinued. Among the electives that broadcast majors will have to choose from are Basic Marketing and Quantitative Procedures in Communication. Neither of these courses were listed in the previous catalogue. A new requirement for broadcasting majors is Broadcast Sales and Management, a course that teaches prospective broadcasters station management and sales procedures, The new changes won't affect students who entered on the old program, Dr. Loy said. Present Broadcasting and PR majors can graduate on the program they entered on, but advisors will be urging them to change over to the new program, According to Dr. Loy, members of the faculty of the Speech and Theatre Department decided that some changes in the curriculum were necessary in order to turn out students that were better suited to enter the broadcasting and public relations arenas after graduation.

Changes on campus Changes 119 Nursing department urriculum changes in the Depart- ment of Nursing during the fall semester of 1984 have resulted in a more competent nursing program for students, and a slight decrease in the workload of the in- structors, according to Carolyn Brooker, assistant professor of medical—surgical nursing. Under the old program, half of the students would be involved in community nursing by going into the community and observing nurses in various public organizations-schools, factories and public health centers. The other half would be involved in acute nursing, observing nurses on the job at a hospital, and learning the fundamentals of nursing simultaneously. In the new program, nursing students learn the basic skills, procedures and nursing processes necessary to help them care for the patient before they are ex- posed to actual nurses on the job. Because the number of elderly people in society, convalescent homes and hospitals is increasing, it is important that nurses are able to meet the special needs that the hospitalized elderly have. During their first year in the nursing program, the students are exposed to the conditions of the elderly in nursing homes. They learn about skin care of the elderly, excercises, nutrition, and emerge with better nursing home skills. During the spring of their first year and the fall of their second, students take a maternal—pediatrics sequence and a community nursing sequence. In the community nursing sequence, students are exposed to mental illness. In the maternal —pediatrics sequence, they take care of newborns and other children. Each student is assigned a patient to care for. They make up a care plan and keep track of the patient's progress. There is a misconception that nurses are in the hospital to do what the doctor says. Nursing, according to Booker, is that and more. Good nursing is an independent function.

Lori Darlington, Pittsburg sophomore, compares the grasshopper she is dissecting to a chart in a book. David Barton Biology department cting biology chairman Dr. James Triplett and the rest of the biology faculty are excited and happy about changes occurring since the department moved into the new science building, Heckert- Wells Hall. We felt like we had arrived at a final resting place ' said Dr. Triplett. We have a home, and that makes everyone more enthusiastic. More space in the new building allowed many faculty to display specimens, set up experiments, and expand inventory. Dr. Horace Hays rescued many of his mammology specimens from storage locations across the campus to create a unique learning atmosphere for biology students. Many of his stuffed specimens are 40 to 60 years old, and some are more than 100 years old. Elsewhere, a lot of old and trusted friends were dusted off and put to use, Dr. Triplett said. We have display areas that are being used to promote both the department and the college. It is a pleasant, attractive building, and a lot of outside interest is being generated. Guided tours of the building have been given for area high school students; and displays, lectures and touchable specimens are drawing in crowds of first and second grade students to areas such as mammology, entomology, ornithology and herpetology. We are doing much, much more work with live animals now that space is available. We've almost tripled the number of animals we can keep. Our visibility and visitation have improved, because we can now produce an ex- cellent road show, Dr. Triplett said. The road show involves biology students and faculty members traveling to high schools across Kansas and Missouri presenting programs about native animals including insects, birds, lizards and snakes. Other program changes include a new laboratory for training students who want to be biology teachers, an audio-tutorial room for both students and student teachers, and laboratory space for faculty and student research experiments. Because of a donation by Frances Baxter of a $5,000 inverted microscope, advanced genetic students under Dr. Bishop have learned how to tissue culture, Dr. Triplett said. They went to Kansas State University, learned how to culture monoclonal antibodies, and brought back a strain to start work with. Now we are up with the big guys, state-of-the-art in tissue culture and virus tagging. We have a new darkroom, a rapidly expanding microbiology laboratory and a new greenhouse. We even have a small area that serves as a natural history museum. It includes a turtle pit, living plants in appropriate climates, and may soon have aquaria and a waterfall, Dr. Triplett said. It's a living work of art. Not everything has been all wine and roses since moving into the new building. Air circulation in many rooms is non- existent, the roof leaks in several places, the air conditioning system doesn't work and the heating units are bad in areas, Triplett said. In fact, we're heating some rooms with bunsen burners. The new green house atop Heckert- Wells Hall has been a major headache to the faculty since it failed to open. Con- struction problems have delayed its use as a plant greenhouse, but students in fishery classes are using it to conduct experiments on grass carp until it can be repaired. Dr. Triplett jokingly commented on the situation, I have decided that if they don't have it fixed by Thanksgiving, I'm going to charge five bucks a head and rent it out as a tanning parlor. Triplett concluded, We have more projects going now than ever, many of them cooperative ventures between the faculty. We're all together like a big family again, and it has spurred interest and helped to revitalize the entire program. However, despite all the problems that arise every day, the biology faculty seem quite pleased with their new home. Changes on campus Changes 121 Chemistry department new building created change in Pittsburg State University's Chemistry Department, according to Dr. Melvin Potts, department chairman. Our methods of teaching haven't changed, but we now have more laboratory room to teach in, Dr. Potts said. The extra laboratory room is a new area known as a multi-purpose lab. The idea behind the lab is that instead of each class having a separate lab area, all general chemistry classes utilize the same lab area. Some classes, such as radioisotopes, have specialized lab areas located within the building. Our multi-purpose lab can hold up to 80 students. Thus, larger lab sections can be handled than in previous years, Dr. Potts said. And the students'seem to enjoy the wide aisles and elbow room now available to them. Although the laboratory areas are larger than previous buildings have allowed, total space is less in Heckert-Wells than in Carney Hall, a previous home of the department. A loss of 3,000 square feet has forced many changes, many of them behind the scenes. In order to save as much space as possible, inventory of chemicals has been reduced. i Our storeroom is smaller now than it was in the Science Annex, and so we made some changes. We threw some chemicals out, and have to limit the supplies on the rest. When we con- solidated all our storerooms, we found we had far more chemicals than we thought, Dr. Potts said. Another space-saving measure has been to continue using available lecture classes outside the new building. Both chemistry and biology use rooms in Yates, Hartman or Grubbs halls to provide lecture at- mospheres for students. These measures have allowed the department to provide areas for upper level labs, research areas, and a new Industrial Research lab. All are of benefit to the department, especially the In- dustrial Lab, according to Dr. Potts. With this lab, we can work closely with outside sources, such as local in- dustry, and develop programs for their use, Dr. Potts stated. It adds a little status to the department, and serves as excellent public relations. Future plans for the department include further utilization of the multi-purpose lab, a possible change back to teaching an introductory chemistry lab, a new system to control inventory and maximize money savings.

Keli Phelps, Bartlesville, Oklahoma senior, cleans a printing press. M ajor changes are in store for Pitt- sburg State University students in the School of Technology and the Vocational- Technical Institute. Both schools are currently being merged under a proposal instituted by Dr. Donald Wilson, president of the university. The proposal was instituted in the fall of 1984, and was in committee to determine its implementation and usage since that time. The actual merging of the two schools occurs in the fall of 1985. The committee, consisting of members from the School of Technology, the Vocational Technical Institute, and Academic Vice President Dr. James Gilbert, worked out the details involved in the joining of the two schools and their respective programs. The idea for the merger was the brainchild of Dr. Wilson. In a statement to explain his reasons for initiating the merger. Dr. Wilson said The VTI has drifted away from the university in many fields. This is a way to bring them closer to the entire university program. Under the merger, the new ad- ministration will maximize the classroom space, shop facilities, machinery and instruments, and allow the faculty to benefit from both programs. We don't have a lot of space at Pitt- sburg State, Dr. Wilson stated, so we can't afford to duplicate faculty and equipment. We need to better utilize all of the area we have. We need to work together to help each other out. No more saying that this space is VTl's, or that this is Technology's. We need to say that this is PSU space — space for better education. By joining the School of Technology with the VTI, both can benefit tremen- dously, Dr. Wilson continued, for example: funding can be increased because duplicate equipment can be shared, freeing money for new and better items; outside industry and their support and interest can be attracted more easily; and exposure for the new program can be increased, both locally and regionally. This fact will be a great boost to the university, and will serve to attract interest to the school, the college, and to the southeast Kansas area. Another change coming about because of the merger is that VTI majors will now be able to transfer their credits earned while in the two year Technology program into credits toward a four year program in other departments. This will help to attract prospective students to the programs and reinforce the goals Dr. Wilson is attempting to em- phasize during his presidency at the University, those of admissions, recruitment and retention. We have always assumed that the student will just come to the university— but we must work to get the student to come here. This new program is a major step in attracting many new students, Dr. Wilson stated. Integration of the schools will benefit all areas involved, even areas outside the School of Technology, Dr. Wilson said. The change will make changing majors much easier for technology students. A student enrolled in the technology program can now change into any other four-year program with minimal red tape and little or no loss of credit hours and time. It is not uncommon for a student to go VTI, and then to the four-year program, and even on the the master's, Dr. Wilson said. The new program is a definite benefit to them, and to the entrire university. I am hoping that this will help the university to feel like one big family again. by Brian Bigley 124 VTI of Technology Changes Cofrfbomng I Refrigeration Cosmetology Dale Bratton Dale Bratton BEFORE PRACTICING UN real customers, cosmetology students give their fellow students new hair designs.

David Barton VTI of Technology Changes 25 ARA initiates change Employees cut; services expanded mong the many changes that oc- curred in the Jack H. Overman Student Center this year was the laying off of two ARA employees. The workers were replaced by two part-time students who wash cafeteria dishes during the noon hour and are also available for banquets if needed. The cost factor was the basic reason for letting the employees go, said Steve McLaughlin, director of the Student Center. One of the workers who was laid off is Elda Mangile who has since been rehired. The other terminated employee is Lila Catanzaro who had worked as a student center dish room worker at PSU for fourteen years. Although she lost her job, Catanzaro said that she had no hard feelings toward the University. In fact, she feels very close to PSU because of all the friends she made during her many years there. McLaughlin said since it had been determined that three food service areas weren't needed in the student union, the one in the Gorilla Den was removed. With the addition of the big—screen television in the Den it soon became STUDENTS REGULARLY GATHER in the Jack H. Overman Student Center to relax, meet friends, or eat. The changes made by A.R.A. this year did not keep Anita Mars, Louisburg sophomore, Cheryl Lion, Mound Valley sophomore, and Ward Rave, Pleasonton sophomore, from sharing lunch in the Grill. 126 ARA contract changes apparent that some kind of refreshment service was needed there. The solution came in the form of vending machines which supply various snacks and hot and cold beverages. They were installed in mid September. Each year the food service contract at Pittsburg State University is up for bid. The service which makes the lowest bid is the one that is hired. This year there were five different bidders, and ARA happened to be the lowest ' McLaughlin said. Bill Owens, Campus Dining Director, said when the contract for the food service was up for bid, whoever won had the option of lowering the overall cost to students in the food areas. To keep costs down, ARA chose to switch to paper materials. Owens said that each year food costs increase about eight to 15 percent. A new idea ARA started was the Itza Pizza program. One has the choice of purchasing a pizza from a list of seven different kinds. It is also possible to order one with up to three toppings. A delivery service is in operation from 4:30 to 9:30 p.m., Monday through Friday and from 11 a.m, to 9:30 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. Along with the program, winners of free pizzas are posted each week. Another new program that Owens is hoping to start is a cake service where people could order cakes for birthdays and other events. Even with all the recent changes in the student union, students will be even more surprised when they return for the spring semester. Owens said that during Christmas break plans to rearrange the Grill area will begin. The reason for the renovation is to update the area and create a more pleasant atmosphere for everyone. Owens said that the ARA Food Service isn't trying to take advantage of the students and is always willing to accept suggestions for ways to improve to food service areas. We're not here to rip-off the students, said Owens. My door is always open for ideas. —by Ron Ausemus Russell!

Lawrence and Holland Cummings, closed circuit co—ordinator, glance into Pittsburg State Univer- sity's future—the new satellite dish located on the roof of Hartman Hall. Satellite enhances opportunities I___________________________________________ Donations fund satellite dish yuring the summer of 1984, a major change took place that will increase and enhance educational opportunities available to the faculty and students of Pittsburg State University and the com- munity of Pittsburg. A satellite dish was installed on the roof of Hartman Hall. Funding for the dish was made possible by donations from three private con- tributors, Garland Richardson and Richard Coleman, both graduates of PSU and Bess Timmons, of Pittsburg A 12-foot satellite dish was contributed by John Buford, vice president for Boron Materials, Eagle Picher Industries, of Quapaw, Okla. With the installation of the satellite dish and the receiving equipment, the University will be able to receive programs from around the world that can be used to supplement class lectures, and in the future, offer classes not available on the Pittsburg State campus, Most everyone is familiar with home satellite dishes which are used to collect commercial television signals and special movie channels. What many people don't realize is that the same satellites are being used to receive and transmit exceptional video voice and data links, according to Dr. Paul Lawrence, PSU Media Center Director. The new satellite receiving station gives the University access to more than 200 channels provided by 23 satellites. Some of the programming is provided free of charge as a courtesy to educational in- stitutions. An example of the free programming available to educational institutions is a video conference which was held on September 18. The video conference, Revitalizing Downtown, gave city planners, ar- chitects, businessmen, and other in- terested persons ideas and information on how to beautify and boost their down- town areas. Since the mass exodus of shoppers from downtown stores to malls, the conference was designed for com- munities with populations under 50,000 More than 100 communities par- ticipated in programming dealing with such subjects as the arts, health, business and science. While they took part in the program brought to them via satellite, they were simultaneously participating in the conference through telephone hook-up. The conference is just the first in a series of public service video conferences to be provided through the Learning Channel, which airs 70 hours per week of learning and activity oriented programming for adults. Aside from helping the community, the dish will benefit the faculty and students. Dr. James Gilbert, vice president for Academic Affairs, said the new resources available in instructional media will have direct professional benefits for the faculty as well as help them to enhance the opportunities for students in regular classes, workshops or video conferences. Faculty members will be able to use programming in both undergraduate and graduate level classes. They also will be able to view programming which can give them new perspectives in their areas of specialization, as well as enhance their instructional techniques. The video conference was just the tip of the iceberg. The possibilities with a 12- foot satelite dish are endless.

Satellite Changes 129 Deans appointed as part of change STARTINC A NEW job can be a difficult experience. However, Dr. Doris Bergen, new Dean of Graduate Studies and Research, settled into her new position quickly, even instituting some new programs. Arrival part of goals and objectives ( hange was apparent at Pittsburg State University last year. Part of the changes included the appointment of two new deans, one in graduate studies and research, and the other in the continuing education office. Dr. Doris Bergen became the new Dean of graduate studies and research. According to Dr. James Gilbert, vice president of academic affairs, Dr. Bergen's goal in her new position will be to expand the recognition of the PSU graduate program, and to improve and expand the specific graduate programs. Dr. Gilbert also said that Dr. Bergen has significant experience in the area of research and grants. Dr. Bergen will be able to assist the faculty in developing the University's objective of expanding scholarly activity and identifying areas of expertise relevant to funded research opportunities, Dr. Gilbert said. Dr. Bergen had previously been Dean of the Wheelock Graduate School in Boston, and also acted as the corporate and foundations development officer for the University of Vermont. While at Wheelock, Dr. Bergen initiated three new graduate programs, increased the school's national enrollment, coordinated an administative re-organization which resulted in a 25 percent operating budget savings, and helped obtain more than $300,000 in grants. Dr. Bergen has also done extensive research herself, and is currently working on two books. Play as a Learning Medium, a child development text, and Decision Themes for Women in Management: A Case Study Approach. In addition to her duties as Dean of graduate studies. Dr. Bergen also acts as a professor for the Department of Psychology and Counseling. The second new dean at PSU is Dr. Susan Howard Schafer. Dr. Schafer was appointed as Dean of the Office of Continuing Education. Dr. Schafer is PSU's first Dean of this office. The title of the position had previously been that of director. The change was made, said Dr. Gilbert said, because the administrator of the continuing education office has traditionally had responsibilities equal to those of the other deans. It was just an equalization of titles, he said. According to Dr. Gilbert, Dr. Schafer has extensive experience in developing, administering and marketing credit, non- credit and correspondence study in major university settings. Her experience, creativity and en- thusiasm for continuing education will assist PSU in expanding significantly our offerings throughout our service area and on the campus. Dr. Schafer was previously associate director of continuing education at Texas Tech University in Lubbock. She is also active in the National University Continuing Education Association and the Counsel on the Continuing Education Unit, and has served as a reviewer for the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, a regional accreditation organization. Both deans were chosen by a special search committee, which included representatives from all four schools at PSU. Their addition to the University's administration, said Dr. Gilbert, will help PSU meet its new goals of becoming a regional and international university.—-by Stacey Sanderlin 130 Deans Changes Melinda Webb Melinda Webb THE POSITION OF dean involves a great deal of responsibility.

Dr. Wilson teaches organizational communication in the speech and theater department. David Barton Dr. Wilson teaches management ideas Chief administrator and instructor spring 1985 semester began as usual January 15, but with one exception for Dr. Donald Wilson, University president. Dr. Wilson began teaching a class in organizational communication for the department of speech and theater. Dr. Wilson requested and received tenure as a professor at Pitt State from the Kansas State Board of Regents in Topeka, September 21,1984. It's unheard of for a university president to not have academic tenure, A university president should be a chief teacher as well as a chief administrator, said Dr. Wilson. President Wilson earned his Ph.D. in speech at Michigan State University in 1966 and had previously earned the M.A. from Andrews University in Michigan in 1961, and the 8.A. in 1959 from Southern Missionary College in Tennessee, He was honored this year as one of three Michigan State University's Distinguished Alumni. Organizational communications is a senior-graduate level course which deals with concepts and theoretic principles needed for effective management of communications in a business setting. I believe that a key element of any organization is its ability to communicate. This means at the corporate level and not just at the individual level, said Dr. Wilson. During class, we will look at various theoretical variables and apply them to practical problems faced by large businesses, health care facilities, etc. The students are from different major departments so we look at case works that pertain to the individual's specific needs, Dr, Wilson said. There are thirteen students in Dr. Wilson's class. Janet Stites, speech and theater graduate student, says that she has gained valuable insight from Dr. Wilson because of his actual experiences both in the United States and overseas. One of the most interesting concepts of organizational communication is its emphasis on human resourses. With effective communication, an employer can help his employees reach their full potential, Stites said. In this way, the entire management- employee relationship is benefited. This usually results in increased productivity and job satisfaction, Stites said. Dr, Wilson often uses examples of practices used in other countries. He has traveled in many countries observing the latest methods used there to increase organizational communications. I like to share these ideas with my students because they may be helpful in their future professions. The faculty have been warm and willing to help me begin my teaching at Pitt State. I hope by my taking this class, another faculty member might be able to do something he or she might have wanted to do but did not have the time for before, Dr. Wilson said. Learning is exciting, Dr. Wilson said, and I fully believe that the teacher learns as much as the students do. by Margaret Downing Dr. Wilson — Teaching Changes 133 FM station to serve campus and region PSU works on licensing process hen University president Dr. Wilson announced the plans last Sep- tember for Pittsburg State University to be ' cutting the ribbon on the University's FM station in a year ' the campus was astir with high hopes of seeing that dream become a reality. Since the first announcement, a Federal Communications Commission licensing freeze and plans of other universities to build their own towers to broadcast in this area caused some campus alarm for the progress of the PSU station. The station was one of five areas that Dr. Wilson cited at a Sept. 17 news conference as needing support. The other areas are microcomputers, library books, faculty development and grants and scholarships. The development of an FM station would have a two-fold purpose, serving the four-state area and providing students with an educational program. Dr. Wilson said that the community has a need for a good music station and that PSU's station would provide programming that is not available to the public now. The University's station would include cultural and educational programming such as jazz, classical jazz and what he termed Americana music. Another need the station would fill is that of a good educational training program. The students have only the KANZA and the Collegio as outlets for their talents and the station would provide a marvelous outlet for broadcasting students, Dr. Wilson said. Unlike the two campus publicatons, which are totally run and operated by students, the FM station will be managed by hired professionals. The station will not fall under any of the University's departments, but students will be able to work as reporters and possibly advance to on-air positions, much the same as editorship positions on the publications. The feasibility study conducted, following the initial announcement, favored the University as an appropriate location for a regional public broad- casting station. It was conducted by consultant Allan Steele, director of the WAUS-FM station at Andrews University in Berriem, Mich. By reviewing present programs and facilities, surveying the University's resources and those of the community and state as well, Steele found the con- struction of the FM station feasible. Once this information was released, the University's Radio Station Advisory Committee began the process of applying for a license from the Federal Com- munications Commission. By the spring semester, the campus feared that a freeze on licensing ap- plications set by the FCC would delay Pittsburg State's plans for the station. Dr. Grady Smoot, vice president for development and public relation and advisory committee chairman, confirmed that PSU was on schedule in the ap- plication process. By the first of February, the University had hired Larry Waggoner from Wichita as its Broadcast Technical Consultant and Dr. Smoot said that he was in the actual process of application. Missouri State Southern College, Joplin, Mo., announced plans for licensing a 30,000-watt FM station, and the University of Kansas announced its plans for placing a power translator in Pittsburg. But Dr. Smoot sees the crowded air- waves as not a threat but a challenge. I think it's great. It won't interfere with our plans and it will be an interesting means of seeing what is going on in the higher education system at KU, Dr. Smoot said. By March the University still had hopes of seeing the station opened within a year.— by Ramona Vassar s Radio Station 134 Changes Russell Taylor THE ADDITION OF a new on-campus radio station will be beneficial to both students and the com- munity. While broadcasting students will be able to get hands-on experience, the community around Pittsburg will be able to hear jazz and classical music in addition to PSU concerts. VfelCOMS MORE THAN $30,000 was raised for the FM station through the annual Alumni Phonothon, community campaign and the University's direct mail program. Regina Smith, Pittsburg junior, and Dr. Chris Johnson, professor of biology, were two of the many volunteers who called PSU alumni and friends during the 20-night Phonothon. Steven Hausler Radio Station Changes 135 New system u pgrade phones Student operator Lee witnesses transition | ucked away in a little corner on the first floor of Russ Hall, there is a room where some of the Univer- sity's most familiar voices are hard at work. The owners of these voices may not have the most familiar faces, but each day their cheerful tones welcome hundreds of people to the University, Pittsburg State University. May I help you? Anyone who has called PSU may have never met PSU's operators in person, but if they utilize the campus' phone system these words are the first they hear when calling the University. For Brenda Lee, Humboldt junior, her job as one of the student operators often carries over to her home life. I always answer the phone 'Pittsburg State Unversity' when I'm at work. Several times at home, I've picked up the phone and answered it the same way, Lee said. Lee got her job by persuing it. Not wanting to do clerical work or food service work, she found out where the switchboard was located, went there and asked for a job. I thought since I was a communications major, this type of job might help my skills, Lee said. She began working as a student operator at the start of the 1984 fall semester — just enough time to learn how to work the old University switchboard before a new electronic one was installed in November. When I first saw the old swit- chboard, I was amazed. It was the kind where we had to stick the plug in, listen for a crackle, to see if the line was busy. And if it wasn't, we completed the call. When we got the new system there was a lot less physical work. Now, we use a console that is almost like a computer. The new system is definitely a step up, considering the old one went straight to a museum, Lee said. In order to teach the University community to utilize the new Contel telephone system, several usage sessions were conducted to explain all the new features. The women who work constantly with the new system had to learn the new features first, in order to help those calling the University. Jacqueline Casey is the acting Telecommunications Officer and supervisor over the campus operators. Bonnie Alley, head operator, and Dorothy Resnar, operator, work the swithboard fulltime while Lee and the other two student operators fill in during their breaks, evenings and Saturday mornings. When I started working with these ladies I was amazed at how much they know about this campus. When someone calls in they know exactly what department or office to send them to. These women are wonderful. I know more about the University than I ever did before, Lee said. John Bennett, Business Office Controller and Casey's supervisor, said the new system has many advantages over the old one. The system in the first place upgraded the service of the telephones tremendously. The old system was a mechanical operation that required the operators to physically make connections with switches. This new system presents the University as a much more up-to- date institution. The old system was so obsolete that the telephone company couldn't replace what needed to be replaced. We had to have a new system, Bennett said. There were a few problems with installation and learning how to use the new system, Bennett said, But, you can't acquire anything that complex and expect it to work perfect. — by Ramona Vassar Steven Hauslei PSU WAS FULL of changes during the 84-85 school year.

Overman Student Center Grill over Christmas break, boasting a new physical look and fresh, new menu items. The change was brought about for several reasons, including the fact that the entire Student Center is in the ongoing process of change. The change that took place before the grill was remodeled, was the ex- tensive remodeling of the second floor level. 'There hadn't been any changes done to the grill since 1963, Steve McLaughlin, Student Center director, said. The Student Center Planning Committee thought that this was the time’ to make some because of the remodeling done on the second floor. The grill was barely recognizable after its remodeling with new window treatments, floor tile, ceiling tile, fresh paint, bright wallpaper, relaminated floors and new booths. Part of the reason for the remodeling was the need for more modernization. We wanted to make the grill more comfortable for the students, McLaughlin said. Food menu changes were also made, including the additions of a salad, potato and a vegetable bar. A sandwich deli is also an added grill feature. Students and faculty now have the opportunity of having their sandwiches made to order. Besides the deli, we also have a bakery case and a reach-in freezer with ice cream sandwiches, pop- sicles and other treats, McLaughlin said. We wanted to give the students more of a variety of foods to choose from and the committee felt that while remodeling was being done, there also needed to be some menu changes, he said.—by Trish Hollenbeck THE STUDENT GRILL in the Jack H.

Wilma Minton, vice president for student affairs; Sue Hippensteel, home economics chairman; Sandy Olson-Loy, Student Activities Council program director: Dr. James AuBuchon, director of placement and student development; and Steve McLaughlin, student center director, were only a few of the administrators and faculty members who attended the reception to see the grill's face-lift.

Renovation of Bowen Hall will provide more flexibility for the University and the community ' according to Michael Bright, director of the Department of Housing. Two floors of Bowen Hall are planned for international students to use. Sometimes cultural transgression occurs because of food difference. This results in international students renting apartments so they can cook since dorms do not allow cooking. Adequate cooking facilities and storage will be provided in Bowen Hall to interest more international students in residing on campus, Bright said. One of President Dr. Donald Wilson's objectives for expanding the University is to attract more in- ternational students. Renovating Bowen Hall will help attain one of his goals as well as integrate these students more into campus life. These arrangements could alleviate some culture shock problems en- countered by international students when they arrive in this country. Conference and workshop housing, as well as guest rooms for visiting professors, parents, high school students and other visitors will be a part of the second phase of renovation at Bowen Hall, Bright said. This will help the Continuing Education office better organize conferences and also increase the use of facilities in the Student Center such as meeting rooms and banquet dining rooms, he said. This organization will enable the University to accomodate six or seven conferences at one time with the new combined facilities. The new guest facilities will be better than the present overnight guest rooms that are now used in Shirk Hall. The individual rooms will have private baths. The better accomodations will attract more guests with full capacity accomodating 40 to 50 guests, Bright said. Projected completion for two of the floors of Bowen Hall is Fall '85, and total renovation by Fall '86, he said. Wilma Minton, vice-president of Student Affairs, said, As soon as the building is inspected by the State Fire Marshall, funding is acquired and final approval is given by the University, renovation of Bowen Hall will start this summer. According to Minton, the estimated cost of renovation is $84,000, covering the cost of new furniture and ap- pliances. It will be the only totally air- conditioned dorm on campus. It will also be the only dorm on campus that is financially clear. Bonds were sold on Bowen Hall October 1, 1955, she said. Another option in the planning stages is to rent single rooms to out-of- state and non-traditionai students year around. I think this would be an advantage to these students in that they would not have to move around every semester and could stay through the summer, Minton said. Eventually Bowen Hall will be accessible to the handicapped which will provide easier access to parking and the rest of the campus. Bowen Hall had been used for residence until the closing of Carney Hall three years ago. During the in- terim period before Heckert-Wells Hall opened, Bowen Hall was used by the science department for some academic and lab classes, as well as for faculty and administration offices. Bowen Hall has had no specific use during the 1984-85 academic year. Despite the fact that they were in competition with other departments for access to Bowen Hall, Bright and Minton were the primary instigators in putting together the proposal package for bringing Bowen Hall back under the direction of the Department of Housing, —by Debby Swalley Bowen Hall Changes 41 PAST PRESIDENT OF the Alumni Association, Ralph Starks, welcomes the 1985 graduates into their new status as alumni at the commencement exercises May 18.

The report, “PSU and the Local Economy,” was written by Karen Bradshaw, instructor of business education. It was based on an economic impact study of the University community in the Pitt- sburg-Frontenac area from July 1, 1983, to June 30,1984. In addition to the direct impact PSU has on the economics of the community, the school’s indirect impact is estimated at $10,231,124, or 12.2 percent, and the induced impact is $32,739,597, or 39 percent of the total economic influence on the local business community. The total estimated impact of PSU on the community is $83,895,217, including an economic multiplier of 2.05. The multiplier figure was based on estimates from other communities of similar size and composition as Pittsburg. According to Bradshaw, the direct effect refers to “expenditures made by the University, its students, employees and associated businesses. “Additionally, a portion of the income received by local businesses from this direct impact is used to buy goods and services elsewhere in Pittsburg. This in turn induces other firms to purchase goods and ser- vices from yet other local businesses. The result of this process is termed the multiplier effect,” Bradshaw said. WORKING CLOSELY TOGETHER, the University and the Pittsburg Chamber of Commerce co-sponsored the third annual Rummage Riot, Oct 6. The Rummage Riot is The information from the study was taken from two sources, Bradshaw said. The primary in- formation came from questionaires sent to a panel of University faculty, staff and students selected to represent a cross-section of the demographic characteristics of each group. Other information came from University records for fiscal 1984. These provided a summary of the expenditures of the remaining PSU spending units in the area. Dr. Richard Hay, Dean of the Kelce School of Business and Economic Development, said that David Barton one way in which the local businesses have recognized the rising economic impact that the University has on the local businesses. the $83 million figure is only an estimate. The actual economic impact is difficult to determine due to lack of specific information about sales taxes, rents and utilities. “However,” he said, “the $83 million amount does give the public some insight as to what the University community contributes economically to the Pittsburg area.” The publication also included articles focusing on the area economies of Southeast Kansas, Northeast Oklahoma and Joplin. Of these, Joplin has showed the greatest post-recession recovery for the third quarter.

Carlin visited campus Jan. 23 to discuss his State of the State Ad- dress with students, faculty, ad- ministration and various members of the local media. “We must acknowledge that not everything we are doing today is, in this day and age, appropriate,” Carlin said. The changes would need to be made in order for the state of Kansas to be more competitive in the areas of jobs, economic growth and development, he said. Carlin planned to sell his tax in- creases to the people during a time when tax increases were not very popular. “I’m going to sell my budget and I’m going to sell the need. “If you want to approach it strictly from the perspective of what is best for the taxpayer, a pro growth wise investment policy is the best direction ’ Carlin said. The Governor said that the key to selling his budget and tax increases is first to solve the budget, than prove the need. Carlin also stressed the im- portance of supporting higher education and making it more competitive. “Education, by our own con- stitution, is a state responsibility. Add to that the fact that education, as we look to the future, will be, without a doubt, the number one determining factor in any com- munity’s economic viability. “People are not going to live or locate in a community that does not provide quality educaion,” Carlin said. STRESSING EDUCATION AS an important factor in drawing businesses to the com- munity, Governor John Carlin addresses students, faculty, administration and local He said that businesses are not going to come to a community that does not assure their families and children with an opportunity for the future. “It is so competitive today. There are others out there competing and if we don’t provide those educational opportunities, we’re guaranteed a very, very sick economic future. I also would add that the business community is becoming very sen- sitive to this,” Carlin said. Businesses that the Governor has talked to have said that they will not move to this area unless there was a good solid educational system media at a Jan. 23 press conference. Carlin said that people will not locate in a com- munity that does not provide quality education. already. “We should put this into the positive, however, and say that we are fortunate that we have many communities who can compete nationally in terms of education and one of the strongest points we have been able to make for our state has been tied to education. “For example, this community that has a basically good system combined with the University that serves a much larger area is becoming more and more critical to business decisions that those types of resources be available,” Carlin said. 146 Newsbriefs Kanza 85 Language requirements increase 3 tudents seeking a Bachelor of Arts degree at Pittsburg State University will now have to complete ten hours of foreign language study, rather than the six hours they have previously been required to complete. The change is due to a review made by the Kansas State Board of Regents of the foreign language programs at the six state sup- ported schools. All Regents universities now have the mandatory ten hours requirement. Throughout the country there has been a growing trend toward increased emphasis on teaching foreign languages at high schools and universities ’ said Dr. Henri Freyburger, foreign language S ince President Ronald Reagan proposed a 25 percent reduction in student financial aid programs last spring, students have become concerned with the effect those cuts would have on their education. Bill Bushaw, University director of financial aid, said that the students’ best defense against this proposal is to write to their legislators. The Senate subcommittee on financial aid, Bushaw said, has realized how the community will be affected and has taken a stand to maintain the federal aid program at the current year’s levels. The proposals don’t mean anything yet because they haven't gone to the full Senate yet. Even though the subcommittee has taken the position to approve them, it doesn’t mean that people should not think of expressing their views. “Any number of suggestions and changes in the proposals could still be made,” Bushaw said. That is why he suggests that students voice their opinions through letters to their representatives. “It doesn’t have to be a long letter, department chairman. According to Kansas Depart- ment of Education statistics gathered by the Regents from a report by Maria Collins, foreign language specialist, five of the six state universities had a foreign language requirement for the B.A., but only three of them required the student to go beyond the elementary levels. PSU will have to make changes in its curriculum to be able to satisfy the ten hours requirement, Dr. Freyburger said. “We are thinking about making the lower level classes five hours instead of three. We will probably split this time between class lecture and work in the language lab. but it should express personal feelings, stating what the financial aid program means to them as students.” Bushaw said that a letter written in an emotional manner won’t have as much impact. The situation should be looked at in an “even manner.” He suggested a letter to read something like “Contrary to some of the opinions that have been ex- pressed, saying students’ financial aid is being spent on stereos, cars and weekends at the beach, this is not true in my case.” Individuals should then go on to explain how their money is spent, and maybe some educational and goal information about themself, Bushaw said. “Be brief, concise, direct and to the point. If the cuts would hurt your financial situation and education, let them know. “These letters can be important to the proposals. It only takes a few minutes to write a letter expressing your views. Right now, that is the very best thing students can do,” Bushaw said. Alcohol policies revised long with the Federal I Government, Pittsburg State ! University was concerned with alcohol policies this year. The Reagan Administration approved a bill withdrawing federal highway aid from states with a drinking age of less than 21, Complying with this law, Kansas is gradually raising the drinking age to 21. On July 1,1985, the drinking age for 3.2 percent beer was raised from 18 to 19. It will continue to be raised every July 1 until the age reaches 21. Mike Bright, director of residence life, said that although PSU has not had serious problems with alcohol use or abuse, the University is trying to look ahead and solve potential problems now. Bright said that the University policy does not attempt to stop the use of alcohol, but will try to “diffuse the idea that alcohol is an all-important facet of our lives.’' “The first is to correct ad- ministrative neglect of alcohol use and abuse on campus. We have not looked at how alcohol is being used and its effects on students and PSU. “If the University allows, condones or promotes any func- tions that can be affiliated with the University and that have alcohol as part of their program, then they must also take responsibilty for any of the con- sequences as a result of that program,” Bright said. The second thrust of the policy is to correct the lack of in- novateness and creativity in leadership positions. “We are educating our students to believe that alcohol is in- timately tied to all social ac- tivities. This attitude, once developed in the University, will go with the student into society.” The third need of the policy is to provide consistent written guidelines to students about campus alcohol policies. Newsbriefs Kanza 85 Students face aid cuts Merchants provide student discounts orty-four area merchants recognized the importance of Pitt- sburg State University students to the local economy this year by participating in the student discount card program. The Student Government Com- mission of the Student Senate got the idea for a 10 percent student discount card after reading an economic impact statement released by the Kelce School of Business. The statement placed total expenditures in the Pittsburg area by PSU students, staff and faculty at over $21 million per year. The statement further broke down student spending into several categories. In 1983-84, students spent the greatest amount of money on food, followed by non-durable goods, clothing and entertainment- recreation. Jeff Bohnenblust, Riley senior and Student Government Commissioner, said that the commission canvassed the city, approaching businesses that fell within these target areas. “In other words, we went to the businesses where most of the student buying is going to be taking place,” Bohnenblust said. “We did get turned down some, but we found that the people who did take the time to listen to us realized that without the students, the Pitt- sburg area would be in a lot worse financial situation.” Bohnenblust said that many of businesses who declined to par- ticiate in the program did so as a result of corporate policy. “The basic feeling was that it was a fantastic idea, but against their policy. Many places will offer a senior citizen’s discount as a part of overall policy, but something like this would have to be cleared through their main offices.” PSU is the only Regent’s school in Kansas with such a discount card. Hadley ends six years as director fter six years of what he termed “The Agony and the Ecstacy,” Dr. Roger Hadley, assistant professor of speech and theater, has resigned from his position as director of broad- casting. “The ecstacy has been in seeing a large group of students grow and mature in the discipline of communication,” Dr. Hadley said. He left at the end of the spring semester to assume the position of director of telecommunications at Oklahoma Baptist University in Shawnee, Okla. The “agony” for Dr. Hadley started when he was the new kid on the block. “I didn’t have any real clout and I got my nose rubbed in the dirt on several occasions. “Six years ago when I was charged to build a com- munications program, I assumed a strong committment on the part of the department, instructional media and other University resources. Within a few months, I began to realize that there were many obstacles,” Dr. Hadley said. Those obstacles, he said, were faculty partisanship, a zero budget, a faculty union and assorted “empires.” Although there has been a strong growth in the com- munications area in recent years, Dr. Hadley said, that growth will level off unless the administration takes a more active interest in the program. Enthusiastic about his new position at OBU, Dr. Hadley said that his feelings about PSU are ambivalent. “I will miss PSU and its students, I wish them the best. “My epitaph for myself and my students is to dare to tell the truth, challenge traditional assumptions and ask what virtue there is in doing something the same way as you did it last year,” Dr. Hadley said. Is new Coke still it? New formula has 'more harmonius flavor' W hen Robert Goizueta became chairman of the Coke company he changed the formula and brought about a new taste in Coke. The original formula for the coca-cola syrup, which was for- mulated in 1886 by pharmacist Dr. John S. Pemberton, consisted of cocaine extracts and coca leaves. The extracts were dropped in 1903, and the coca leaves still remain. The new formula consist of coca leaves, lime juice, vanilla, cin- namon and caramel. The new ingredients provide the new coca- cola with a much sweeter taste and add three more calories per 12 ounces. According to Goizueta, the new taste of Coke has a more smoother and rounder, yet bolder taste ... a more harmonious flavor. Goizueta says the formula came about by accident when chemists experimented with different flavor combinations for diet coke and stumbled on a recipe that was favored by inhouse expert taste panels over coca-cola itself. The coca-cola company corn- firmed that judgement by having a series of 190,000 blind taste tests of 13 to 59-year-olds in more than 13 cities. Goizueta says he men- tioned the plans for the change to coke patriarch Robert Woodruff, who served as president of the company from 1923-1955, shortly before he died last March. 148 Newsbriefs Kanza 85 Wilson travels to internationalize s part of his goal to in- ternationalize the curriculum at Pittsburg State University, University president Dr. Donald Wilson traveled on a three-week educational mission to the Pacific basin during the spring semester. His excursion was part of a special American Association of State Colleges and Universities educational conference in In- donesia. Dr. Wilson was one of 16 AASCU presidents involved in the B.K.S- BARAT Conference March 4-9 in Jakarta. B.K.S-BARAT is a consortium of western Indonesian colleges and universities. AASCU represents more than 350 state- supported colleges and univer- sities throughout the United States, Dr. Wilson said. ‘‘Pittsburg State University really has to think of itself as more than simply a small, local university. But, a part of our real problem has been our own mentality; our thinking we can't do too much because we are located in this little corner of southeast Kansas, Dr. Wilson said. Dr. Wilson said the University should not feel badly about its location or what it has to offer. 4The University has to view itself in some programs in a way that is regional in southeast Kansas and the four-state area. “But, we must also view PSU as a state-wide and national in- stitution in the area of technology. Beyond that, all of our programs have potential on an international level.” Dr. Wilson presented his paper “Trends in Curriculum Development in Science and Technology”. The conference, he said, had three major objectives. “Our primary purpose will include sharing experiences and perspectives about governmental policies toward higher education in our two countries, and how AASCU and B.K.S-BARAT each work to further our educational missions.” The focus of Dr. Wilson’s three- week visit to the Pacific basin was to expand cooperative agreements with educational and governmental leaders. The president visited the Southeast Asian country last May in his first Pacific tour since he came to PSU. This year's visit, he hopes, will be used to expand previous contacts and to initiate new cooperative agreements. “Latin America and the Pacific basin areas are going to be our major recruiting areas because the trade balance has shifted to the Pacific basin. Latin America is also important in terms of understanding,” Dr. Wilson said. He also met with Thailand's Minister of Education, the Secretary General of the Office of the Private Educational Com- mission and the Secretary General of the National Teacher’s Council, to present a formal proposal to the representatives of Thammasat University in Bangkok. If implemented, the program will include a three-year project of faculty and administrator exchanges between PSU and Thammasat.. PSU designated Center of Excellence JT ittsburg State University joined Kansas State University, Wichita State University and the University of Kansas on May 7 when PSU was officially declared to be a Center of Excellence. Dr. Phil Bradford, director for the Advanced Technology Commission, said that the center of excellence program provides state and mat- ching funds from private industry to create a central focus for one program the University feels strongest in. The Commission, which has been in existence for two years, was created in an effort to improve the development of high technology companies in Kansas, he said, “Over 90 percent of students who graduate from Kansas schools with advanced degrees leave the state. The Commission was formed to try to do what we can to make it possible for the graduates to stay within the state,’’ Dr. Bradford said. Dr. David McFarland, dean of the School of Technology, said that although the University has a year to decide the focus of its Center of Excellence, he believes the wood, plastics and printing areas will be chosen, due to their excellent national reputation. “The designation could be the most important step forward for the University in its history,” Dr. Mc- Farland said. “It will not only add to the uniqueness of the University, it will also give us an added lever for economic growth and development for the entire Pittsburg area.” Although the designation as a Center of Excellence emphasizes the technology program, Dr. Mc- Farland said that it is not strictly for the use of the School of Technology only, but can be applicable to any department involved in research, such as chemistry, biology or mathematics. Receiving the designation was the end of a three-step process, culminating in a presentation by Dr. McFarland and Bill Hollenbeck, assistant to the president, to the Communications, Computers and Technology Committee of the state legislature, Dr. McFarland said. After being approved by this committee, the proposal had to be sent through the Advanced Technology Commission, and finally to the State House Ways and Means Committee. Newsbriefs Kanza 85 149 Donations reach $ 7 million JSJearly $l million dollars in private support were donated to Pittsburg State University during the past fiscal year. The increase in funding through the private sector was announced by University president Dr. Donald Wilson at a Sept. 17 news conference in the Wilkinson Alumni Center. “This level of contribution is a credit to the record of the past service of the University and is of great importance in our ability to realize even greater educational objectives in the future ' Dr. Wilson said. Cash contributions from July 1, 1983, through June 30, 1984, totaled $432,857. The Alumni Center received $311,854 of this amount, an 18 percent increase over last year. A record $558,105 in gifts-in-kind bolstered the cash totals in donations to the University. In- dividual gifts of laboratory equipment, educational materials, books, supplies and other donations make up gifts-in- kinds. Dr. Wilson said, though, that there are still specific areas where funding is needed. They are microcomputers, library books, faculty development, grants and scholarships and a campus FM radio station. Instead of relying on friends and alumni for contributions, the University is looking more towards corporations and in- dustries for funding. Volunteer director of development Rex Crowley said that the University, students and faculty have benefited greatly in recent years because of the growth in contributions. “We are on a plateau now. We have exhausted the help we had. Now with new blood in the organization, we are ready to take off,” Crowley said. The “new blood” Crowley spoke of is Dr. Joseph Smoot, new vice president for development and public relations since May 1,1984. Dr. Smoot has been working towards expanding the Univer- sity’s fund-raising programs by seeking new sources. Gymnasium renamed John Lance Arena Jhe Weede Gymnasium auditorium was formally named the John Lance Arena at the Jan. 18 men’s basketball game in honor of the late John F, Lance, the first basketball coach for Pittsburg State University. Lance, who was graduated from PSU in 1918, coached basketball from 1922 through 1963, before retiring. He died in 1981. Before the tip off of the Jan. 18, 1985 Gorilla basketball game, a plaque in his honor was presented to Lance’s wife, Clara Lance, by University president Dr. Donald Wilson. Also attending the ceremony were coach Lance’s two sons, Ray, Pittsburg, and John, Jr., Wichita, and a grand- son, Ray Lance, Jr. The renaming of the auditorium was announced before Lance’s colleagues, friends and former players at a public banquet Jan. 13, in the Jack H. Overman Student Center. Lance, one of the first men’s basketball coaches to use a zone defense, has been honored in three Hall of Fames — Naismith, Kansas Athletic and National Association for Intercollegiate. PSU granted Lance its highest recognition in 1980, the Meritorius Alumni Achievement Award. During his 41 years of coaching, Lance accumulated 644 wins, of which 601 were at Pittsburg State. He had a string of 47 victories, which included two undefeated seasons. Lance’s 601 victories at PSU ranks him nationally among the leading one-school coaches of all times, and his teams’ ac- complishments still mark the NAIA record books. His squads traveled to the NAIA National Tournament five times, compiling an overall tournament record of 8-5. Stars feed the starving y Y e are the world; we are the children; we are the ones to make a brighter day so lets start giving ...” This song, written in order to raise money for the famine ravaging the people of Africa, swept the music charts across the nation soon after its release in spring of 1985. The producer, Quincy Jones, came up with the idea when he became concerned with the starvation in Africa. Jones, along with music artists Stevie. Wonder, Michael Jackson and 45 other top musicians in the country, worked to construct a song that would raise money to help feed those starving in Africa. Jones selected such specific top artists as Lionel Richie, Stevie Wonder, Paul Simon, Kenny Rogers and Tina Turner. Others he selected were A1 Jarreau, Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, Dionne Warwick, Willie Nelson, James Ingram, Bruce Springsteen, Kenny Loggins, Steve Perry, Darryl Hall, Cyndi Lauper, Huey Lewis, Kim Carnes, Bob Dillon and Ray Charles. Along with other musical ar- tists, they sang themselves not only to the top of the music charts and became the number one song in the country, but they also raised over eight million dollars for Africa’s starving people. After this effort was made others around the country pitched in to lend a helping hand, giving contributions and holding fund raisers to show their concern. 150 Newsbriefs Kanza 85 Franchione returns to coach Gorillas T I feel fortunate to be able to do this for a living. I never worry about what the clock on the wall says because I enjoy my job so much,” newly appointed Gorilla head football coach Dennis Franchione said. Franchione, a 1973 Pittsburg State University graduate, returned home to PSU after a very successful record coaching football around the United States. After graduating, Franchione coached high school football for five years, starting a career that would span 13 years and bring him much coaching success. He coached first at Miller High School in Miller, Mo., for one year, before moving to Mulvane High School for one year. Franchione finished out his five years high school experience at Peabody. Franchione led Peabody to the state championship, a win that led to his being selected to coach in the 1978 Kansas Shrine Bowl. He next moved on to Southwestern College in Winfield, bringing the team their first nine-win season in fifteen years. Southwestern beat Panhandle State in the Sunflower Bowl that year, an accomplishment for which Franchione was selected as the Kansas conference coach of the year and the All-District 10 coach. Franchione’s next stop was Kansas State University, where he coached for two years. During this time he was in charge of wide receivers and Kansas City recruitment. He then became offensive coor- dinator at Tennessee Tech University for two years, before accepting the job as head coach at PSU. Franchione cited three reasons for returning to PSU to continue his coaching career. “I really wanted to be a head IN MEMORY OF the late John F. Lance, game.

He felt PSU to be that place. However, Franchione said the deciding factor was the rapport he felt with the people he would be working with. “I really like the way Dave Suenrem, Athletic Director, and Dr. Wilson, University president, operate. They really helped me make my decision to come here.” Franchione hopes to develop as good a rapport with the players he will be coaching. He said he will try to be “firm, fair and friendly” with them. “I have a good degree of respect for the players, and I want them to know that I am for them, not against them. We’re just out there to have some fun. ’ ’—by Stacey Sanderlin SAC director returns to student life fter four years at Pittsburg Slate, Sandy Olson-Loy resigned as Student Activities Council program director.

Senators Dwight Windle, use the Student Senate rubber stamp. Senate race a barrel of monkeys w hat began as a seemingly tranquil one-man race for the Student Senate presidency, with an expected low voter turnout, developed into a barrel of monkeys — or gorillas — at Pittsburg State University, Incumbent president David Ramsey, Fontana senior, survived a late run by write-in candidate Gus Gorilla, and retained his office for a second term. Ramsey defeated the school mascot 345-188, while his running mate, Marc Mullen, Brush, Colo., junior, brushed aside write-in challenger Gussie, 421-51. Gus also received 25 votes for the vice-presidential seat. Although no student challenged Ramsey to the president's office during campaigning, three in- dependent senate candidates began a campaign the week of elections to elect campus mascot Gus Gorilla to the top student office. Steve Montgomery, Shawnee Mission junior; Max Dorsey, Kansas City junior; and Jeff Simpson, Lenexa junior, Gus's campaign coordinators, said their main pur- pose was to spur interest in the election. But, later in the week, the cam- paign escalated into a full-fledged attack on incumbent CARE president, Ramsey. Ramsey, though, wasn't bothered. “This is funny, I'm getting a kick out of it. Although a high voter turnout could have turned out to be to his advantage in the form of referen- dum questions, he denied having anything to do with the Gus cam- paign. ‘T would never do anything like this — I take senate far too seriously to make a mockery out of what should be a serious election process, Ramsey said. But by election day, his outlook had changed. While a Gus cam- paigner appeared on campus in a gorilla outfit owned by the Alpha Sigma Alpha sorority, Ramsey appeared in the official school- owned mascot uniform. While Ramsey was busy in the Union as a gorilla, minus the mask, the anti-Ramsey, pro-Gus, cam- paigners held a rally on the University Oval. Simpson and Montgomery opened the rally by blaring a siren to gain students' attention. Shouts that Ramsey “only cares for himself — not about the students, and that “Ramsey needs to move on since he's been in school for seven years, could be heard. Despite the efforts of the cam- paigners, Ramsey was elected to a second term as PSU student president, while many of his CARE party members were chosen to fill senator positions. Mullen received the most votes in the elections with 421, followed by fellow CARE candidate Alice Velasquez, Overland Park junior, who received 388 votes for an at- large position. 152 Newsbriefs Kanza 85 Judicial Board overrules Ramsey's powers little-known arm of the Student Senate known as the Judicial Board, which has more constitutional power and can overrule even the senate president, got a chance to flex its muscles during the 1985 spring semester. Joni Hays, Mapleton graduate, made a formal complaint against Student Senate president David Ramsey, Fontana senior, to the Joni Hays Judicial Board. Hays’ complained that she was never given an op- portunity to protest her move from senator at-large to graduate senator — a move which she would have preferred not to make. Hays served as an at-large senator for t yo years and was re-elected for a third term last March. Ramsey, though, moved her from her elected position to that of graduate senator, a seat created by referendum in March. Hays’ first knowledge of the move came at the April 3 senate meeting when Ramsey announced it to the entire senate. “I would have rather stayed right where I was, that was the position I ran for, and those are the people I have chosen to represent,” Hays said. Ramsey said that constitutionally, he can take such action — it is one of his “inherent powers.” Since Hays was the only graduate student on the senate, he said, and since she was in an at-large position, he felt it was the natural thing to do. “Who better than a graduate student to fill the graduate position?” Ramsey asked. The Judicial Board, with its powers to give constitutional in- terpretations, decided unanimously that Ramsey’s choice was not the right one. In the May 14 decision, the four-member board ordered Hays moved back to her at-large seat on the senate. The board held that “there is a definite difference between the constituency of an ‘at-large’ seat and a ‘school’ or ‘special’ seat. The board feels that there exists an understanding between the students of a school or division and those senators they elect,” the board said. “The students expect those elected senators to represent their special interests.” Furthermore, the board’s opinion held that the president is given “no power” to remove or place a senator, and that a senator cannot be moved from another seat to fill an empty seat. The four members of the board hearing the case were Chairman Michael Shane, Leavenworth senior; Sharon Hamish, Wichita graduate; Rick Fisher, DeSoto senior; and Paul Williamson, Pitt- sburg senior. Gena Buche, Mulberry senior, was absent due to illness. Citizens take justice into their own hands To a y Americans have realized that criminal-justice agencies cannot always protect them from murderers, robbers and rapists. The police are only able to solve a small part of such cases, due to budget cuts. Because of this, many people take justice into their own hands. For more than two decades Americans have been fighting to reclaim their streets from law breakers. More people are taking a per- sonal part in the fight against criminals by slipping guns into thier pockets, securing their homes and businesses and helping to patrol their neighborhoods. The public has taken on a new attitude due to the New York “Subway Vigilante” case. Ber- nhard Goetz shot four youths, claiming they had harassed and menaced him. Even though Goetz shot two of the young men in the back as they were fleeing from him, there was little public sympathy shown the youth. According to a Gallup Poll, 3 out of 4 people feel it is sometimes necessary to take the law into their own hands to protect themselves. Some community’s have set up campaigns or Neighborhood Watch Programs. In these programs, neighbors organize patrols and keep watch on each other’s homes. These actions seem to have more worthwhile effect than random violence against lawbreakers. A Mobilization Against Crime program was also set up in some cities to encourage citizens to report crimes they see taking place. Posters and billboards are displayed with slogans and police telephone numbers to encourage people to report crime. Television has also taken a major role, showing re-enactments of major crimes on news programs in the hope that viewers can provide leads to police. News briefs Kanza 85 153 Students take to the airwaves Jniversity broadcasting students worked side by side with per- sonalities at the KKOW radio station Feb. 26. gaining on-air experience and the respect of the station’s professionals, and maybe even more importantly, raising about $3,400 in commercial sales in the third annual KKOW-PSU Career Day. Not only did the students take over the job of disc jockey, announcing from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., they also sold, wrote and produced the com- mercials used on air that day. Dr. Roger Hadley, director of broadcasting, said, according to the feedback from announcers at KKOW, the day went smoother than in previous years. “Three of the station’s regulars said that this Career Day was the smoothest it had ever been. All the students appeared more relaxed and they didn’t have any problems A DAY OF hands-on experience gave broadcasting students confidence, as they work side by side with professionals. Gwen Freeman, KKOW disc jockey, announces a song during her morning shift while students working with them. I count this as a success,” Dr. Hadley said. All money earned from ad- vertising on Career Day will go toward purchasing broadcasting equipment for the students’ use. Dr, Hadley said that the revenue can be used to buy a number of different items. “We need to take inventory of all our most important needs. The money will probably go towards a reel-to-reel and maybe another cart machine,” Dr. Hadley said. The money raised was all the work of the students, who began can- vassing local merchants at the beginning of the spring semester. “The biggest benefit of Career Day is that it allows us to purchase equipment that we would not otherwise have, and it also gives students on-air experience,” Dr. Hadley said. Roger McKinney, Chetopa junior; Millie Myers, Fort Scott junior; and Ethelyn Ross, Kansas City, Mo., senior learn broadcasting techniques. That on-air experience began at 6 a.m. for the students, with Steve Clifford, Lenexa junior, and Brenda Lee, Humboldt junior, sharing the control room with announcer Dan Willis. The shift changed every three hours, providing more students with the chance to broadcast. The news room was also filled with new talent for the day. Students got the chance to prepare copy and announce the KKOW 30-30 news. The students agreed that the experience was a very valuable one, due to the help of the personalities. “We had the chance to turn classroom skills into actual broadcasting skills with the help of the announcers from KKOW. Everyone made us feel relaxed and welcome,” Clifford said. Lee said that the regular an- nouncers made her feel relaxed and comfortable, and easily gave her more confidence in herself with their friendly personalities. The enjoyment was not all on the students’ side. Willis and Jeff Freeman, KKOW program director, said that all the people at the station look forward to the day of working with young talent. “There were a lot of talented students out at the station. From the production standpoint, it went smoother than last year. The only problem we had was trying to work all the commercial spots in each hour,” Freeman said. “The only thing we might change next year would be to raise rates and run fewer commercials so that listeners wouldn’t have to hear so many. We might consider running Career Day for 24 hours to give the students a more realistic feel of the station,” he said. In addition to giving students experience, Career Day also helped students to decide which aspect of broadcasting was right for them. Roger McKinney, Chetopa junior, found that he preferred broad- casting on air to the sales aspect. “I hate sales. I admitted on air that I’m not a very motivated sales person. I don’t like rejection I guess, though I like the broadcast part. “I’ll only do it for Career Day to rasie money for the department, but not for a career,” McKinney said. Steven Hausler 154 Newsbriefs Kanza 85 PSU prepares for possible rate hike If owners of the Wolf Creek Nuclear Power Plant get the rate they are hoping for, Pittsburg State University’s electric bill may skyrocket up nearly 40 percents According to Clifford Beougher, vice president for business and fiscal affairs, the Board of Regents have not decided on whether it will assist Pittsburg State and Wichita State University, the two Regents’ universities directly affected by the proposed increase. ‘The stage legislature currently provides the University with line items for utilities. During each year, they ask for update information from the University, whether the bills are more or less than the previous ones. “If we are short for utilities, they will provide supplemental money,” Beougher said. He said that the University believes that the Board and the legislature will assist in meeting Wolf Creek charges. “About four or five months ago, WSU and PSU asked the Board to agree in advance to help them meet the Wolf Creek charges. But the Board said they will hold onto their first thought — that residence halls and student unions be self- supporting. “But they will consider it again if and when Wolf Creek goes on line,” Beougher said. University president Dr. Donald Wilson said that Wolf Creek going on line “doesn’t necessarily affect the University.” “I’m sure the legislature will look at utilities across the state and not burden PSU or the students with anything. I can’t imagine them asking us to absorb it all,” Dr. Wilson said. While the University is trying to prepare itself for the possible rate hike, so are area citizens. The public got an opportunity to tell the Kansas Corporation Commission and KG E officials what it thinks of the power plant June 12, during a public hearing in the Pittsburg Memorial Auditorium. The Auditorium was filled to near capacity, with most of the speakers testifying against the rate hike. Of the people who testified, only one person was for Wolf Creek plant going on line. According to Rate Case Fact sheet: Kansas Gas and Electric published by the State Corporation Commission, the KCC staff has recommended that the total rate increase for KG E be $180.9 million. It also said that of KG E’s $1.33 billion investment in Wolf Creek, the utility should not be allowed to earn a return on $175.6 million because of construction impurdence. The publication Wolf Creek Facts said that the power plant was estimated to cost $406 million and is estimated at finally costing $1,226 billion. It also said that over half, or 57 percent of the difference between the estimated cost when work started and actural cost when work started and actual cost is from changed government requirements during the period. People testifying at the hearing brought up the construction safety issue and also asked the commission to think about how it would affect those on a fixed income. Dr. Wilson, University president and chairman of Pittsburg Now!, said that the group is not going to take a position on Wolf Creek. “The difficulty is knowing what the increase will be and over what period of time it will be spread out,” Dr. Wilson said. “It is a serious concern to everyone involved,” he said. Dr, Wilson said that neither he nor the group has had time to sit down and analyze the issue and how it will affect Pittsburg industry. Webb's testimony may change future rape victims' trials w. hen a woman proclaims herself a victim of rape her testimony should receive the same respect as that given any man. With the new testimony of Cathleen Crowell Webb, some people now believe that a “rape victim” cannot always be believed. Webb has declared that she lied in 1979 when she accused Gary| Dotson of raping her. Her testimony and the evidence found on her body and clothes sent Dotson to the correctional center in Joliet, Illinois for a 25-50 year prison term. Webb said she lied because she thought she was pregnant by her boyfriend and was afraid of telling her parents. She said she deliberately bruised and cut herself with broken glass to simulate injuries that might occur in a rape attack. She also picked out a mug shot of Dotson and identified him in a police iine-up because he resembled her made-up description of the rapist and a composite drawing the police had made. For many years, women who were raped were afraid to step forward and report the crimes for fear that they “deserved” to be raped and that the law would not adequately protect them. Webb’s case has made it dif- ficult to determine the truth of a rape victim’s testimony. Her lies, and the consequences of them, may make other rape victims fear that their testimony will not be believed and cause them to hesitate reporting their cases. Whether or not Webb lied in 1979, her case has sent shock waves through the fragile world of rape victims, their counselors and protectors.

According to Dr. Wilson, the main issue of the agreement was per- formance evaluation and salary generation and allocation, which has been “uneven within the University. “This agreement is much fairer and more consistent and equitable,” he said. Dr. Robert Ratzlaff, chief spokesman of PSU-Board of Regents, said that he felt the main faculty concern was the area of due process, including sick leave and retirement benefits. The agreement was due to “a determination of both sides to find solutions, which made the negotiating process easier this time around,” Dr. Ratzlaff said. Dr. Wilson agreed, saying the memorandum was a very positive sign that represents a lot of hard work and compromise on both sides. “No one side in the negotiation process gets all that they want. Both sides arrived at a conclusion which is fair and consistent,” Dr. Wilson said.

Dr. McFarland’s departure will represent the end of a four-year term that has been suc- cessful for the growth of the technology program at PSU. “I look forward to the challenges I will face at Central Missouri, but there are also feelings of sadness about leaving the University. I really have some good friendships here and respect my colleagues a great deal,” Dr. McFarland said. He said that the credit for the growth of the program goes to the faculty members for their interest in students, teaching and the industrial community. “I think no matter who the next dean is, the faculty will continue to be strong.” The main strengths of the school, Dr. McFarland said, are the woodworking program, the printing department, electronics and plastics technology. “One of the reasons for the great growth of the program is the in- volvement with the local industry that we have had, and are continuing to strengthen,” he said. That involvement, Dr. McFarland said, is good for the students, the development of the industrial community in this area and the technology program at this University. Even though the PSU technology programs are superior to most in the nation, the resigning dean said that there is always room for im- provement. The strengthening of the master of science in technology degree, in- creased applied research and the endownment for technology for the faculty development are the areas Dr. McFarland would still like to see improvement in. In addition to the benefits of ap- plied research. Dr. McFarland also said that an important step made this year was the merging of the School of Technology and Applied Sciences and the Vocational Technical Institute. “There is a tremendous need for technological knowledge, and we are one of the few schools of the type in the entire nation. That has really helped the growth of the program,” Dr. McFarland said. Clinics offer free health screening n tudents were offered the cKance of free dental and optical screenings through the Student Health Center at Pittsburg State University this year. About 130 students attended the screenings April 30 and May 2, said Margaret Sutton, a Health Center staff member. The screenings were offered as part of the Health Center’s move toward establishing a “Wellness Program” at the University. Sutton said that the purpose of the optical screening was to “make students aware that they may need glasses or that their current prescription needs to be updated.” The opticians did not write prescriptions. Likewise, the dentists checked the students teeth thoroughly, advised them on oral hygiene and recommended further treatment. They did not take x-rays or fill cavities, Sutton said. This was the first time a joint effort between area physicians and PSU had been tried at the University. 156 Newsbriefs Kanza 85 English chairman returns to full-time teaching Minority adviser , begins programs urn A he minority student does not want to be looked upon as different, but accepted as everyone else. The programs we have developed are working towards that by increasing student awareness of cultural differences and similarities,” said Keith Harris, Pittsburg graduate student and Pittsburg State University’s minority student adviser. Harris began his position in the summer of 1984, after Dr. Car- mella San Diego, international student counselor, left PSU. “The purpose of my job is to support minority students academically, socially and per- sonally,” Harris said. Harris said that he deals primarily with black and in- ternational students. “The most important aspect of this job is to provide a smooth transition into University life and the Pittsburg community for the students,” he said. To do this, Harris has developed several programs aimed at keeping groups organized and focused toward the same goal. A tutorial service has been developed and is now available to help minority students in classes where they are having problems. Harris has also started a peer counseling program to assist freshmen and transfer students with personal and scholstic problems. “A minority executive counsel has been developed to better facilitate unity and cohesiveness among the black organizations at this school,” Harris said. Harris’s other responibilities include providing a liaison bet- ween minority students, ad- ministration and faculty, acting as a support system for the residence hall program and serving as the adviser to the black fraternity and sorority on cam- pus. In the future, Harris hopes to develop a minority student handbook with tips on making the adjustment to PSU easier. C iting “personal, health and family reasons and personal goals,” as his reasons, Dr. Stephen Meats announced his resignation as chairman of the Department of English at Pittsburg State University in April, 1985. Dr. Meats, who has been depart- ment chairman since July, 1979, returned to full-time teaching at Pitt State after his resignation from the administrative position became effective June 1. Dr. Richard Welty, Dean of the School of Arts and Sciences, said that Meats had been considering the move for some time. “It is really a blow,” he said. “We’re sorry he is stepping down. Dr. Meats was one of the very best chairmen at the University. He’s leaving the English department in excellent condition.” Meats started several new projects in the English department during his time as chairman, Dr. Welty said. He started a career counseling program for students and helped initiate a review program which has been used as a model for other departments throughout the University. Dr. Meats also led an overhaul of the English department curriculum, aiding faculty development. This has led to increased faculty research and publications. “He’s done some great things with the department,” Dr. Welty said. “Now he wants to go back to doing what he got into the business for in the first place.” Dr. Meats, however, attributes the department’s success to team effort. “It was all the faculty. I was mainly a facilitator and coordinator and a resource person,” he said. An internal search for a replacement began soon after spring break, and led to Dr. Victor J. Emmett being named to replace Dr. Meats as English department chairman. Dr. Emmett has been a faculty member at PSU since 1967 and has worked extensively with Dr. Meats. “As chairman, Dr. Meats has been innovative, fair and insightful. The morale of the department under his leadership has been high. I will try to steer the course he has set,” Dr. Emmett said. Firsf block crowned Miss America n eauty pageants have long been a means of gaining scholarship money, launching theatrical careers and building self-esteem, as well as rewarding good looks. The struggle to be beautiful binds beauty pageant contestants of different classes and different ethnic groups. Being crowned the first black Miss America was a dream come true for Vanessa Williams and her runner-up Suzette Charles. Her crowning proved that neither the political strength nor natural beauty of a black woman would ever be underestimated again. Williams upheld her position as Miss America successfully by not only being crowned, but by ear- ning over $100,000 in fees from appearances as Miss America, $29,000 in scholarship money and $25,000 in fees from a commercial for Diet Coke. However, William’s past caught up with her during her reign as Miss America and caused her to resign from her position. Sexually explicit photos of Williams ap- peared in Penthouse Magazine, and the pageant committee pressured the first black title holder to resign from her position. Runner-up Charles, also black, then took over the position of Miss America. Even though she did not get the opportunity to complete her reign as Miss America, it was a tremendous step for Williams and an accomplishment that has touched a lot of people. Newsbriefs Kanza 85 157 Lots to remain in government's hands ittsburg State University students voted this year to leave the conditions of the streets and parking lots around the University in the hands of the government. After receiving complaints from students, the University parking committee reviewed the condition of the University parking lots, and estimated that repairs would cost about $1.7 million. They proposed selling bonds to raise the money for the repairs. The Student Senate put the proposal to the students in the form of a referendum. However, the proposal was voted down. Of the 488 students who voted, 423 voted aginst the proposal and 65 voted for it. The proposal asked full-time students if they would be willing to pay an extra $25.75 dollars every semester for the next 15 years. Part- time students would have payed an extra $1.85 per credit hour for the same time. The areas covered by the referendum included the replacement of the McPherson, north residence hall and brown parking lots. The parking lots and circulation roads around the Weede Gym- nasium would have been resurfaced, and new parking lots would have been constructed south and east of the Physical Plant. Student Senate president Dave Ramsey, Fontana senior, said he did not feel it was the students’ responsibility to pay for the renovations. “I think the state should pay for this. If students have to pay for this, I will draw up a bill not allowing state legislators to park on campus. If students pay, I think they should get the benefits, ” he said. Duane Griffiths, parking com- mittee member and assistant professor of industrial arts education, said that although there is undoubtedly a need for parking repairs, a typical student’s first priority is tuition.

Fraternity and sorority members collected food from Pittsburg area residents for the local Salvation Army to distribute to the needy. The Intrafraternity Council and Panhellenic Council, in conjunction with the local Salvation Army, sponsored the food drive to collect non-perishable grocery items to be distributed in food baskets at Christmas. This was the fourth year the Greeks and the Salvation Army had participated in the drive, said Dave Allen, Overland Park junior and IFC president. Although in the past, just the fraternities were involved, the project was expanded this year to allow IFC and the Panhellenic Council to work together. “We do this project to serve the community. We’ve always had a real good turnout from it,” Allen said. The Greeks gathered at the parking lot at Hollywood’s before being put into groups and assigned to certain areas of Pittsburg, Quite a bit of food was collected, thanks to the enthuastic response of the Pitt- sburg residents, Allen said. “The collecting went really well. Most of the people we contacted were real willing to donate food items. We just told them that we were with the PSU Greek organizations and that we were taking donations for the Salvation Army,” said one collector, Lisa Stanley, Elsmore junior and Alpha Sigma Alpha sorority member. The project was coordinated with the Salvation Army through Ted Flag, a Salvation Army board member and former president. “We did a pretty good job collecting this year. The Greeks always do a really good job for us in this area,” Flag said. The collected food was sorted into different categories, depending on what it was, Flag said. It was then combined with perishable items, such as meat, milk and bread, to make a complete meal. “What we don’t collect or get donated from some other source, we go out and buy. That includes a lot of the perishable items, like bread and milk. We also buy a chicken or some type of meat for every basket,” Flag said. Other campus organizations besides the Greeks also joined in the spirit of giving this Christmas. Shortly before Christmas the Pittsburg Salvation Army office was broken into. Meat that was to have been used for the Christmas baskets was stolen out of the freezer, said Captain Wes Green, Commanding Officer of the local Salvation Army. Captain Green turned for help to Pitt State, asking PSU clubs and campus organizations to help in replacing the goods that were stolen. Five groups responded anonymously, he said. “The groups wouldn’t leave their names with us,” Captain Green said, “but the food they collected was definitely a help.” Captain Green said the five groups collected about 12 grocery bags full of canned goods. “Because of their help, we were able to take the money we would have normally used to buy those canned goods to replace the stolen meat instead,” NON-PERISHABLE FOODS OF all kinds was collected by the University fraternities and sororities to be distributed by the Salvation Army.

Steven Hauster Steven Hausler News briefs Kanza85 159 Smoot, Henderson fill administrative roles In an effort to improve the areas of fund raising, alumni relations and enrollment, University president Dr. Donald Wilson created two new administrative positions since his inauguration in March, 1984. Dr. Grady Smoot was appointed as vice president for development and public relations. His responsibilities include coordinating the efforts of the Alumni Center, the Office of Public Affairs and Information and the Alumni Foundation and En- dowment Association. At the time of Dr. Smoot's ap- pointment in 1984, Dr. Wilson said, “The purpose of this new position is to integrate the functions of the three offices and get the best mileage out of them. ’’ In addition to increasing the amount of funds raised for the University, Dr. Smoot has con- ducted a full review of alumni relations. Dr. Smoot said that many of the goals that were set by the ad- ministration were met at a development conference during the 1984 fall semester. “We outlined development programs, then went to various departments to review and gather input from various faculty mem- bers. “Our main task was to bring the structure of the programs together ’ Dr. Smoot said. Only one result of Dr. Smoot’s planning has been the strengthening of the annual fund drive at the local level, through the annual Phonothon and direct mail. While Dr. Smoot concentrated on his duties in development, Steve Henderson worked towards in- creasing enrollment as the new director of enrollment management. Henderson was hired Nov. 17,1984, to fulfill objectives outlined in Dr. Wilson’s November Self- Assessment. The president’s ob- jectives were to hire a director for enrollment management with ex- perience in marketing and management, and to increase the recruitment and advertising budget. As director, Henderson worked Newsbriefs towards his primary goal — reversing the decline in enrollment and establishing an up-to-date recruiting, marketing and retention plan. The biggest drop in enrollment came in the period from the fall of 1983, when there was a headcount of 5,271, to the fall of 1984, which had a headcount of 4,927, Henderson said. “This drop of 6,5 percent in the headcount was what first cought the attention of the administration and which led to Dr. Wilson’s com- mittment to reversing this decline,” Henderson said. Enrollment figures for the 1985 spring semester showed that 5,135 students were enrolled at PSU, an increase over the 1984 spring semester. Henderson predicted at the time that there would be an in- crease in enrollment for the 1985 fall semester. “We are up 14 percent in terms of applications received compared to where we were in February of 1984, and applications are up 23 percent from February of 1983,” he said. The fall enrollment is 12 percent over the goal set for this time of the year, Henderson said. Terrorists strike against Americans in Middle East W hen Islamic Jihad terrorists hijacked a TWA 727 jet carrying 153 persons on a flight from Athens to Rome, they continued their fulfillment of a terrorist pledge to strike out against Americans in the Middle East. The terrorists seized the jet after it picked up passengers in Cairo and Athens and was on its way to its destination in Rome. There, the plane was to connect with another TWA flight going to Boston and Los Angeles. The terrorist hijackers first demanded that the pilot fly to Beirut, Lebanon, where they were twice denied permission to land. Airport authorities then relented and agreed to refuel the aircraft in exchange for the release of 19 hostages; 17 women and two children. “The plane is booby-trapped,” said a hijacker who was speaking from the cockpit to the control tower in Beirut. “If anyone ap- proaches, we will blow it up. Either refueling the plane or blowing it up. No alternative.” The terrorist hijackers then ordered the aircraft to fly to Algiers, Africa, where 21 more passengers were released in exchange for food, fuel and water. The pilot then reported that the hijackers were beating and threatening to kill passengers. One passenger who was freed said he saw another hostage grazed on the neck by a bullet from a terrorist’s gun. The terrorists demanded the release of 17 Shiites imprisoned in Kuwait for bomb attacks and the release of hundreds of Shiite guerillas held in Israeli prisons. They said if their demands were not met they would begin to kill the remaining hostages aboard the TWA 727 flight. This assault on American citizens caused a crisis for President Ronald Reagan and his staff. It was the first test of recent administration hints that the United States would take action against Iran if Americans were harmed by pro-Iranian Shiite fundamentalists. Kanza 85 Features WARNING STUDENTS ABOUT the sinful ways of their lives. Evangelist Jed Smock tells listeners to repent. Brother Jed returns to PSU Preaching met with jeers and obscenities n attempt was made to save the souls of the students of Pittsburg State University last spring, as Brother George Jed Smock paid the students another visit. Smock, an evangelist from Terre Haute, Ind., first visited the Pitt State campus in 1984 with his wife, Sister Cindy. He returned on April 25, 1985, to continue his soul-saving efforts. Although Smock began his preaching on the sidewalk in front of Yates Hall, he eventually was asked by the University Police to move to the University Lake area. Lieutentant Howard Herring, University Police officer, said Smock was asked to move because the crowd of students gathered around him was blocking the sidewalks. Some students were also filtering onto the street and causing a traffic hazard. The evangelist told his audience they were all sinners as they responded with jeers and ob- scenities to his criticism of their moral standards. Smock told his listeners that Men are superior and women are inferior. Smock left some students souvenirs of his visit, handing out copies of his book Who Will Rise Up? The book tells the story of Smock and his wife Sister Cindy and their life before and after they became saved. The pair travel across the nation, speaking at various universities and colleges.— by Stacey Sanderlin David Barton 162 Brother Jed Features David Barton Davtd Barton OBLIVIOUS TO THE preaching of Brother Jed that all fraternity men and sorority women are immoral, some bathing beauties take advantage of the sun- bathing weather.

Some people party, some go to the Weede Physical Education building to work out. Others take a blanket to College Lake and sun bathe, while remote control boating is still another hobby some students indulge in. For David Brinkmeyer, Humboldt junior; Garry Brownlee, Liberal senior; Don Schultz, Kansas City, Mo., junior; Roger Scoles, Kansas City, Mo., senior; and Jeff Smith, Pleasanton senior; remote control boating is a hobby they have been involved in for a year. It really is a way to get away from the pressures of school, and it's fun, Brownlee said. He uses a speed boat that is controlled by a transmitter, which sends radio messages to the receiver located on the boat. There are two switches on the transmitter; one that controls the boat throttle and one that controls the left and right movements of the boat. The boats are powered by a special fuel. Directing the boat can be tricky, Brownlee said. The hardest part is figuring out the directions when the boat is going out or coming towards you. But, Brownlee said, it is really easy to learn the basic idea. None of the students who operate remote control boats race because, Brownlee said, We aren't quite that good yet. Smith has a sail boat, which does not have a throttle and is simply directed by the remote control. All of the boats have a range of 1,000 yards, which is the length of 10 football fields. The range does not vary with the size of the boat. Although the hobby is easy to learn, and fun, it can hit the pocketbook hard. The minimum cost of the boat, transmitter and receiver is about $300. I plan to get more into the hobby when I graduate and start making some more money, Brownlee said. Although remote control boating is not a big hobby around this area, remote control airplane flying is. But, unlike boating, it involves more skill. There is a lot more involved, and its more complicated because of the fact that it is in the air, Brownlee said. Weather is one condition that should work for the remote control boater's favor, he said. When the wind is down, it provides an afternoon of fun in the sun. —by Trish Hollenbeck Steven Hausler Steven Hausler Steven Hausler ROUGH WATER CAN be dangerous for these high speed miniature crafts.

The University launched a 10-day national search for a new coach to be completed by June 21 according to In- tercollegiate Athletic Director David Suenram. The announcement also marked the first time the Kings had officially an- nounced their long-awaited move from Kansas City to the west coast. Reynolds called the opportunity a dream come true. In addition to some coaching duties, Reynolds said he will be a scout for the Kings. He joined the Kings coaching staff during preseason in July for the rookies and free agents. During the first few months of the season, Reynolds duties would be to scout the Kings NBA op- position and help develop game plans. After that, Reynolds said that he would focus his attention on the college ranks to help line up the Kings future selections in the NBA draft. If the lord had let me pick a job, this would have been it, Reynolds said. It's just something I couldn't turn down. I don't think there are any sure things, but as far as my career is concerned I don't think I can go wrong taking this. I've proven myself at the small-college level. Now I've got the chance to contribute to a program in the NBA. That's the best basketball in the world. Reynolds, who finished a one-year $32,000 contract at PSU, said he will be making between $40,000 and $50,000 with the Kings. He has signed a two-year contract. I'd be lying to say that money was the reason I'm leaving, said Reynolds who took a cut in pay when he moved to PSU after a successful nine-year stint as head coach at Rockhurst College in Kansas City, Mo. It's not the money; it's the opportunity. Reynolds, who leaves after only one year at PSU, said that the challenge was the deciding factor when he took the job with the Gorillas. The chance to face an even bigger challenge persuaded him to join the staff of the Kings. During his tenure at PSU, the Gorillas finished the year with a 16-15 record, their first winning season since 1977, and qualified for the NAIA District 10 playoffs for the first time since 1982. In just one year, Jerry really helped our program . . . We improved considerably in both quality and support we are receiving from students, fans, the com- munity and alumni, said Pitt State Director of Intercollegiate Athletics David Suenram. While leaving some unfinished business at Pittsburg State, Reynolds said he feels he accomplished quite a bit during his only year at the school. My criteria for a good coach, at any level, in any situation, is that he will make it a better place than he found it, he said. I may be egotistical, all coaches are to a certain degree, but I feel I'm leaving the program better than I found it. I think everything is on the right track. —by Eddie McKechnie BASKETBALL COACH JERRY Reynolds' resignation was announced by David Suenram, Director of Intercollegiate Athletic -. in July.

Dr. H.P. Rumford, professor of psychology and counseling, is soon to retire, but not from his favorite hobby of biking 20 miles daily. r. H.P. Rumford, professor of psychology, is retiring from teaching after spending 30 years with the Pittsburg State University faculty. When he joined the faculty in 1955, Dr. Rumford already had an M.A. from the University of Min- nesota and had earned an Ed.D from the University of Colorado. He served as chairman of the psychology staff from 1956-1966, and again from 1973-1975. Dr. Rumford served as the faculty sponsor for Psi Chi from 1957 to 1968, and as acting chairman of the Department of Psychology and Counselor Education from July 1975 to September 1976. Dr. Rumford developed the School Psychology program in 1957 and served as director of it from 1957 to 1983. The Ed.S in Counselor Education and the School Psychology program were re- accredited by NCATE for 1975-1985. During this period, 136 school psychologists were certified and 45 Ed.S. degrees in school psychology were awarded. Some other highlights of his career include his position as coordinator of religious activities and faculty sponsor of the religious activities council from 1956 to 1963, general chairman of the 1966 Homecoming and the address he gave at the Honors Convocation in 1969. A Kansas certified psychologist. Dr. Rumford became a member of the American Psychological Association in 1958 and was made a Fellow of the Kansas Psychological Association in 1968. Dr. Rumford is a founder and former president of the Crawford County Mental Health Association. He rs also a founder of the Crawford County Mental Health Center, serving on the Board of Governors from 1963 to 1980 and chairman of the board from 1975 to 1980. His principle area of teaching has been abnormal psychology, history of psychology and personality of psychology. For the last two years, Dr. Rumford has been writing the history of the PSU Psychology Department. He said it is possible the article will be published in the near future. Dr. Rumford is also an avid watch collector. He collects Howard watches that were made in Boston between 1857-1931. He will have an article published in the National Watch Collectors Magazine in the near future. Dr. Rumford's other hobbies are gardening, with his specialities being tomatoes and peas, and bike riding. He started riding his bike in 1980 for health reasons and has been riding 20 miles a day almost 365 days a year. In three and one- half years he figures he has circled the earth. If I could leave the students one thing, it would be the message that understanding the value of altruistic service is important. It is more important to love than to be loved.

David Barton Hays takes permanent vacation Bat man retires from education fter thirty-one years at Pittsburg State University, Dr. Horace A. Hays, biology professor, retired after the spring semester. Dr. Hays said, My years at PSU have been very enjoyable. I especially liked working with the students and will miss them the most. I'm looking forward to some travel and just doing anything I want to do. During his years at Pitt State, Dr. Hays taught General Zoology, Comparative Anatomy and Mammalogy. He became an expert on bats. Bats need protection because they are very helpful to humans. They are not the vampires most think. They are the only mammals that can fly and have been on the earth for 40 million years ' Hays said. There are 1,000 species of bats in the world and 40 different species in the United States. One of the most important benefits derived from bats is their ability to pollinate fruit trees such as peaches, bananas and guavas. There would be no tequila if there were no bats, Hays said. Vampire bats are rare in the United States and Canada. They do not swoop down on people and bite their neck. They crawl on cattle, goats, or rarely, people while they are sleeping outdoors. There have only been 10 deaths in the last 40 years due to rabid vampire bats, Hays said. Dr. Hays believes that education is vital to the future of the world. People need to learn that everything that is harmful to animals and plants eventually will harm humans. The animals need protection so that nature remains as balanced as possible. After all, they are made out of the same stuff we are. -by Margaret Downing Dr. Hays Features 169 170 Genetic Engineering Marion Grom Features Marion Grom GENETIC ENGINEERING IS taking place in the Cell Culture Lab in Heckert-Wells by Dr. Dean Bishop, professor of biology, and Todd Brown, Hutchison senior.

Genetic engineering becomes reality Research may dectect early cancer signs G enetic engineering is a term often used to describe the latest research in biology. Because of the dedication of the staff and students of the biology department at Pitt- sburg State University, this research has become a reality. The construction of the new Heckert-Wells Science Building has added the needed up-to-date laboratory space and equipment needed for genetic research ' said Dr. Dean Bishop, professor of biology. ''In the summer of 1984, we began setting up the laboratory from scratch. I attended Kansas State University in Manhattan that summer to learn the latest techniques for creating and maintaining the special conditions needed for precise laboratory work when dealing with special cells ' Dr. Bishop said. Extreme care was taken to assure the degree of cleanliness needed for the research. Dr. Bishop will return to K-State this fall on sabbatical. He will visit several laboratories and develop techniques which will enhance PSU's research program. Todd Brown, Hutchinson senior, has been working with Dr. Bishop as the genetic class lab assistant. Brown will graduate this spring with a degree in biology. This summer, he plans to work at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in Long Island, New York. I will work in molecular genetic research of photosynthetic bacteria of plants ' Brown said. While at PSU, Brown prepared a special paper of his research about the use of Monoclonal Antibodies in Cancer Research and Treatment. This was presented for Beta Beta Beta, the biology honor society. In the paper Brown reported, A research explosion has occurred to such an extent that the monoclonal antibody has become one of the main research tools of the 1980's — most recently in cancer ' The use of monoclonal antibodies in research began in 1976 with the work of Kohler and Milstein who developed them by fusing Beta- lymphocytes from mouse spleens with mouse myeloma cells. The result of this fusion was a hybrid cell line capable of unlimited synthesis of the antibody produced by the original Beta-lymphocyte. It is hoped that these antibodies will react with antigens present on tumor cells and will specifically kill the tumor cells by triggering an immune attack on them without harming the healthy cell tissue. They might also serve as an early warning system for detecting new cancers or cancer reocurrences, and as immunologic reagents for screening blood samples for the presence of tumor antigens shed into the bloodstream. Because this research is still very young, much trial and error is needed before humans can fully benefit from it. Although in- vestigators are hopeful that they can develop a successful cancer therapy with the agents, no one expects this to happen easily. This work is going on in laboratories all across the United States; and students at PSU also have the opportunity to participate in this venture into genetic engi neer i ng. — by Margaret Downing Genetic Engineering Features 171 Steven Hauler Cadavers enhance A and P Improve traditional approach THE INTERNATIONAL FOOD Fair was a sellout during Multi-Cultural Month in February. Plates of food, filled with special foods, or selections served a la carte were prepared and served by University students. he Pittsburg State University biology department acquired a new laboratory teaching aid to enhance and improve the traditional ap- proach used in most anatomy and physiology courses. A pair of human cadavers (male and female) was purchased in 1984. Dr. Leland E. Keller, pre-med and pre-dental adviser, said, In the past, cadavers have not been used because of the lack of security, space and appropriate facilities. The anatomy and physiology laboratories, faculty offices and storeroom in the new Heckert-Wells Science Building are arranged ideally for this new acquisition Dr. Keller has the responsibility for security, care, dissection and demonstration of the cadavers. His graduate major was anatomy at the University of Kansas. The demonstration of human anatomical parts are available only to Dr. Keller's anatomy and physiology classes. Dr. Keller said, The use of human cadavers to teach human anatomy is most logical, meaningful and appropriate. This approach has long been used at the three largest state universities for the same group of students. This new acquisition will cer- tainly make our human anatomy and physiology courses more meaningful, informative and in- teresting for those who will enroll in human kinesiology and physiology of exercise in our physical education department. Its value for those preparing for any health profession such as medicine, dentistry and nursing is obvious; and comes at a time when there is a renewed emphasis and enthusiasm for quality and ex- cellence at PSU, said Keller.—by Margaret Downing 172 Cadavers Features Nationalities mingle while cultures shared Multi-culture brightens February 5 haring food, friendship, culture, color, music, dance and fantastic food from several countries brightened the Fifth Annual Multi-Cultural Month celebration at the Jack H. Overman Student Center in February. Twice weekly the Student Center cafeteria featured ethnic and international dining. Delicacies from Japan, Mexico, Indonesia, Italy, Black American, France and Latin American were among the dinner choices. According to Sandy Olson-Loy, program director for the Student Center, the International Student's Reception kicked off the month of activities. The Jay McShann Trio, a renowned Kansas City jazz group, also highlighted the Multi- cultural Month. A midnight skate party, a fashion show presenting fashions from the United States and abroad, plus a talent show and a campus community dance were some of the other month's activities. Black Awareness Sunday, February 10, accented the spiritual aspect of black culture. The film, Green Pastures, a story of the Bible as imagined by black children in a small Sunday School in the South, was also presented. Among those who attended the In- ternational Food Fair was Jee-Sookf SHIN, a graduate student from Korea. Jee said, I liked tasting all the food, but I especially liked the Japanese sushi. Learning about other cultures is a great opportunity during Multi-Cultural Month. Another special feature that this month included was a presentation on Human Rights by Chris Kriehl, a long-time associate of Amnesty International. Kriehl spoke on the recognition of the im- portance of human rights progress and violations in the world today. International students presented A Glance at World Cultures by sharing to audiences what life in their homelands is like. Topics presented were Iran: Nation and Culture, by Mandana Ershadi, Tehran, Iran; Venezuela: A Country To Love, by Fernando Diaz, Caracas, Venezuela. India: Unity in Diversity, by Archna Gupta, Pittsburg; Shivakumar Kolan- daivelu, Madras, India; and Jatin Mehta, Bombay, India; Free China: Taiwan (The Golden Island), by Garret Kao, Taipei, Taiwan; Palestine and Jordan: The Holy Land, by Samir Freii, Bethlehem, Israel; South Africa, by Roslyn Laidlaw, Pinetown, South Africa; Nigeria, by Julie Ser, Jos Plateau State, Nigeria; and Japan, by Mayumi Aiba, Tokyo, Japan. A Japanese film, Sancho the Bailiff, was shown on February 14. The film was advertised as one of the most beautiful and tragic of Japanese movies. I thought Glance at World Cultures was especially neat this year, said Olson- Loy. I also received several positive comments on the Jay McShann Trio and the Food Fair.

The Kelce School of Business has suggested that growth of the area economy is directly connected to the im- provement of U.S. 69, Center offers business counseling Links University with resources j he Small Business Development Center (SBDC) at Pittsburg State University was first introduced in 1983. It tries to link together the resources of the federal, state and local governments with those of the University and private sec- tors. It offers counseling and training to small businesses in the area of organization, finance, marketing, technical and other miscellaneous problems they may encounter. The SBDC at PSU serves the 10-county southeast Kansas area of Allen, Anderson, Bourbon, Cherokee, Crawford, Labette, Montgomery, Neosho, Wilson and Woodson counties. Its services are free and supported by the federal and state governments. In its first year of existence at PSU it received $27,000 from the Small Business Association (SBA) which was matched by the state. This year it received $32,500 from the SBA which was again matched by the state. Clients are referred to the SBDC from many different sources such as literature, bankers, the Chamber of Commerce and people who have used it before. The SBDC utilizes the PSU faculty and also individuals outside the University. Sometimes graduate students and seniors, recommended by the faculty, are also involved. According to Dr. Terry Mendenhall, director of the SBDC at PSU, the response by the faculty has been very positive. It's very well received by everyone here 'said Dr. Mendenhall. The SBDC has assisted approximately 300 area businesses and according to follow-up reports it is successful about 80 percent of the time, he continued. It's being utilized as much as it can in the sense that we're limited to our budget, said Dr. Mendenhall. We have only so much money for consultants and travel expenses. Two classes offered at PSU, business policy and topics in entrepreneurship, work directly with the SBDC. They are taught by Dr. Mendenhall and two graduate assistants. The SBDC teams, usually made up of three people, are sent out directly to the client's business to do the work. Dr. Mendenhall commented that although the students are not paid, they gain priceless experience in their major field of endeavor. However, they are reimbursed for mileage.

It is now possible to take a test by computer and to grade tests on computers ' said Dr, James Taylor, of the psychology and counseling department. They are also used for data analysis, research and statistics as well as running laboratory ap- paratus. For example. Dr. Taylor said that the Skinner box experiment could be run by a computer as well as human subject experiments. This would leave the experimenter available for other research, and eliminate experimenter bias and also use less manpower. It is also possible to purchase software which can keep records and operate biofeedback equipment. Dr. Taylor was the author of the Science Foundation Grant to pur- chase more computers and software for the school of education. They will be used by students for simulation and tutorial purposes, as well as word processing for manuscripts and research papers. Each software package costs anywhere from $300-$500. The area of artificial intelligence is also being studied and still growing. It tries to recreate logic and human thought processes ' Dr. Taylor said. The Hughes Hall computer lab now houses three terminals for the mainframe, and two portable micro- computers that can also be used as terminals for the mainframe. There are two modems that go with the portable micros and can be hooked up to telephones. It is possible to hook up to data bases such as Dow Jones if you want to pay the bill, Dr. Taylor said. The computer lab also has seven other micro-computers. In the grant proposal, Dr. Taylor has requested seven more micro-computers with two megalyte hard discs and three printers. The school of education received a $34,000 allocation that helped cover the $20,000 for the remodeling of the computer lab in Hughes Hall. It was created to be a student learning environment, and Hughes Hall students can use the micro-computers for instruction in classes and their own research work.

The purpose of the newly created organization is to get the word out about Pittsburg State. During the fall semester, 21 students were notified that they had been chosen to serve as ambassadors. They come from 17 different hometowns, represent 14 different majors and range from freshman to graduate students. Pat Jones, associate director for ad- missions, and Michael Shonrock, director for student life, selected the student ambassadors based on personal in- terviews and a review of their scholastic achievement and involvements in campus activities. Jones, the adviser for the organization said, ' The ambassador's major mission is to project a favorable image of the University to its many publics: the community, prospective students, parents, high school and college per- sonnel, alumni and etc. CIVINC PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS tours of the campus is only one of the many responsiblities of the University Student Ambassadors Renee Willingham, Pittsburg sophomore, shows two people interested in PSU where science and biology classes are held. 178 Ambassadors The new organization quickly formed leadership roles and began drawing up a constitution. It was decided to limit future membership to 25 with new members chosen as needed to fill vacancies. Ambassadors have undertaken such activities as assisting with campus tours for prospective students, serving on panels for special events both on and off campus, initiating telephone contact with prospective students and helping with Language Day. It is hoped that the word will get out to the various departments that we are anxious to help with any special days in which large groups of high school students or other visitors are on campus, Ann Collar, president, said. Students receive no reimbursement for their time. Jones said, We hope what they receive is valuable experience while providing a great service for the University. Humphrey Minx, Wheeling, III , graduate student, agrees. He said, This is the best year in six years that I've spent at a university. The opportunity to visit with new students is as exciting for me as visiting the University is for them. Jones works up a weekly schedule of when she will need ambassadors to take prospective students on tours or for other special events. We have a complete schedule of when the ambassadors are in class or are busy with other activities, and when they are available to help with the recruiting effort. We then plan schedules accordingly. Their efforts have already made an impact on the Office of Admissions. Their assistance with campus tours frees up the office staff to deal with the many matters needing attention, Jones said.

Greg Nucifora was selected to replace Dr. John Knowles, who resigned after almost seventeen years as adviser. Nucifora received his M.A. degree in journalism in 1983 from Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana. His B.A. in Community Journalism was received from Mt. Marty college in Yankton, South Dakota. While at Mt. Marty, 1 was editor of the Moderator, the college newspaper for two years. And at Ball State, I served as news editor and photo editor for the Ball State Daily News, Nucifora said. Currently, Nucifora is the news editor of the Pittsburg Morning Sun. He also taught the photojournalism class at Pitt State for the 1984-85 school year. I prefer working on the newspapers because of the one-to-one relationship I am able to maintain with the students, Nuctforasaid. Becoming an adviser has changed Nucifora's perspective about working on a college newspaper. I'm on the other side of the fence now. I can remember my adviser at college worrying about con- troversial stories and find myself won- dering if HI suffer similar repercussions, Nucifora said. One of the many things Nucifora finds exciting about Pitt State is the more modern equipment available now than when he attended school in the late 70's and early 80's. Typewriters have been replaced with computers similar to those used on daily city papers, Nucifora said. Since becoming adviser, Nucifora has recommended several changes. One of the largest is the change from a weekly paper to a bi-weekly printing. In May of 1985, the Publication Board approved a proposal to expand the paper's printing to twice a week. Final approval must now come from Dr, Donald Wilson, University president and publisher of the Collegio. One of the ways we will expand will be the addition of Associated Press wire service, Nucifora said. This will allow the students to work with equipment and deadlines more like those used in a city newspaper. The printing department will also benefit because of the increased opportunity to print more copy, Nucifora said. The paper will still contain news related to campus activities. But in addition, local, national and world news will be covered. This will allow the student readers to keep up with current information more easily since many do not have the op- portunity to subscribe to daily papers or even watch television news, Nucifora said.—by Margaret Downing CRITIQUING AN ISSUE of the Collegio.

At Pittsburg State University, the Health, Physical Education and Recreation Department is answering the need for current education in all fitness areas. Dr. Thomas Bryant, chairman of the department, said, Most Americans want information about fitness training. Through our programs, we make this education convenient and available for all. Because health care costs are rising dramatically, individuals are now taking greater responsibility for their own wellness. Students at Pitt State have the opportunity to learn how to evaluate their own fitness, and how to prescribe a program to change their fitness level. This information may be used throughout their lifetime, Dr. Bryant said. Lifetime sports are courses offered to the entire student body. They include racquetball, weight lifting, tennis and badminton, aerobic dancing and karate. Aerobic dancing has been one of the most beneficial programs because a large section of the student population par- ticipates, Dr, Bryant said. Aerobic fitness can be measured, and is one of the most important means of assessing total physical wellness. Dr. Jerry Stockard, who teaches the science-based physical education courses, is in charge of the exercise laboratory at the Weede Physical Education Building. Dr. Stockard holds a Master of Education degree in physical education and an Ed.D. from Louisiana State University. After teaching at Emporia for two years, and Tulane University in New Orleans for five years, he came to Pitt State in 1975. Dr. Stockard has co-authored a book, Fitness Exercises For Children with Jim Stillwell, associate professor in the Physical Education Department. I'm now beginning research on a new book about aerobic exercise for children, Dr. Stockard said. In his laboratory. Dr. Stockard can determine a person's aerobic capacity, flexibility and body composition. Aerobic conditioning is expressed in terms of how much oxygen is taken in by the body and how well muscles and other organs use it. A specially equipped exercise bicycle is pedaled for at least four minutes with a constant resistance being applied. The result is calculated and compared with norms for the individual's age and weight group. A personat training program can be prescribed so that the individual can improve his or her aerobic capacity, said Dr. Stockard. This is an important factor in the prevention of cardiovascular disease which is so prevalent in the United States today. A copy of the person's test is kept on file so that periodic testing can be compared with earlier results. Hopefully, improvement will result after training, Stockard said. Special calipers are used to gauge a person's percentage of body fat in relation to total body mass. The painless pinch measures the amount of fat beneath the skin's surface. Usually the measurements are taken on the back of the upper arm, the waist, and the front of the thigh. The results are averaged and the per- son's weight and height are also con- sidered. This is a more accurate way to determine the amount of fat which needs to be lost, rather than traditional weight charts, Dr. Stockard said. For women, a range of 20 to 25 percent body fat is considered within normal range. Men have slightly less, usually 15 to 20 percent, Of course, atheletes often have much lower percentages, he said. Because of the interest in personal health care, the department is beginning a new course called Lifetime Fitness Concepts. Dr. Stockard will teach this class and incorporate laboratory ex- periences with lectures in several areas. The one credit hour class will meet once a week beginning in the Fall of 1985. Such topics as diet, nutrition, weight control, aerobic exercise, strength training, flexibility exercises and stress management will be covered, he said. The course is open to anyone on campus interested in improving his or her un- derstanding of wellness. The class has been submitted to the Faculty Senate for approval as a general education requirement of all students at PSU. We believe that this course is the perfect vehicle to reach everyone about lifetime preventative health care, Dr. Stockard said.—byMargaret Downing Physical Fitness Features 183 Dream takes professor to the skies Dr Thomas builds small-scale plane r.

Dr. Thomas said although he was enlisted in the armed forces, he did not fly for them, but has been flying as a hobby since 1941. He added that he was on a ship in the Navy, but joked that he never had any desire to build a ship. There is no room in his airplane for passengers, but Dr. Thomas said that if he was going to build it, he was going to fly it. He flys whenever he gets the urge to take to the sky. Dr. Thomas has never gone on any long trips in his airplane, but he has flown it to his home in Marshall, Mo. By car it is a three-hour ride, but 1 can make it in an hour and a half by plane. He said that during the three years it took him to build his plane, he never once regreted starting it or got tired of working on it. I enjoyed every minute building the plane ' he said.

I believe, however, that they quit manufacturing grand player pianos years ago and are not making them now, Dr. Marchant said. The gift is even more valuable, Dr. Marchant said, because Tremain donated about 100 player rolls with the piano. The player rolls vary from light music to more serious performances of historical im- portance such as Gershwin playing Gersh- win, Dr. Marchant said. The University had a cabinet built to house the 100 player rolls. Tremain said she and her late husband bought the piano in 1929 following the great stock market crash. Some friends of ours had to sell it because they were going through hard times. Fortunately, we were able to buy it. We did not have room to display it in our home, however, until 1938, she said. The piano was well cared for during the years it was used and enjoyed by her family, Tremain said. It was fully restored five years ago and has been in storage since. Dr. Marchant said the piano will be housed in a room in McCray Hall where the temperature and humidity can be controlled. Mrs. Tremain has taken very good care of the piano.

That is not what we do on the university level ' Sue Hippensteel, chairperson of the Department of Home Economics at Pittsburg State University, finds it frustrating that there are still myths surrounding her field. I don't hear the 'home economics students learn to cook, sew and be good housewives' idea as much as I used to, but that doesn't mean it is not still there. These people just have a preconceived idea of what home economics means, and they don't listen when we tell them what we really do. It is discouraging, Hippensteel said. She said the home economics depart- ment has been trying to dispel any myths that still exist about their field, and let people know about their activities. During Nutrition Month last March, they sponsored a series of Lunch and Learn lectures. We brought in several dieticians to lecture on topics ranging from weight control to the relationship between diet and cancer. They also sponsored lectures on such topics as money management and smart buying in April, during National Con- sumers Week. Most of our students right now are studying under the fashion merchandising option. We do offer a course on putting together clothes, not to teach them to sew, but to make them better fashion buyers when they start working, Hippensteel said. Other options available to the students include foods and nutrition, interior furnishings and consumer and family services. Many of the home economics majors also have minors in business, Hippensteel said. The two go well together. We have even had some business majors take courses over here, and then decide to change to a home economics major and business minor. Hippensteel said her students do not major in home economics to learn to be good housewives. I think a lot of people just are not aware of the job opportunities available to someone with a home economics degree. Our students have been hired by banks, where they help people manage and invest their money and teach them about budgeting and mortgages. Those who study foods and nutrition can work in food services in hospitals or schools, in restaurants, or in catering services. There are also jobs available in child care and fashion buying and design, among other things, Hippensteel said. In addition, the department does not just teach the theory behind these careers. We are firm believers in students getting practical experience in their field before they enter the job market, Hip- pensteel said. In order for the students to get this experience, the department offers in- ternship classes. In these classes, the students receive University credit for work relating to their major done in the community. In the past, students have worked at places like J.C. Penney's, in food service firms and in child care facilities. Other classes can also give the students a taste of hands-on experience. Members of the display class, for example, also work part of their semester at j.C. Penney's as part of the course. They learn how to design and set up both indoor and window displays. We also have a teacher education program for those who want to teach THERE IS MORE to learn in the field of home economics than just cooking and sewing. These skills are still important, though, in studying home ec. as Doris Bradley, instructor in home economics, demonstrates to Bernadette Holer; Walnut junior. David Barton Home Economic Features 187 David Barton continued from page 766 home economics ' Hippensteel said. Another myth surrounding the home economics field is that it is only for women. “Not too long ago, that was true ' Hippensteel said. “We didn't have any men in our program. But now we have four or five. “As far as I know, these young men have not been teased about their choice of a career either. Many of our students are non-traditionals, and they are very accepting. It is not only at P5U where men are beginning to enter this traditionally female field. “The field is opening up all over the nation. At some of the major univer- sities, there are even men as deans of home economics departments, Hippensteel said. Michelle Crozier, Osawatomie senior, is a home economics major, with an emphasis on fashion mer- chandising. She has minors in business and French. “In fashion merchandising they recommend we minor in either business or the arts, she said. “The business knowledge is im- portant for the people going into the buying, selling and marketing of clothes. “Those going into things like fashion photography need the art, Crozier said. Crozier believes that myths about home economics are still a problem. I think that it's the word 'home' that gives people the wrong idea about home economics. “If I tell people that I am a home economics major, they usually think cooking and sewing right away. If I tell them fashion merchandising, they think I'm going to be a designer or buyer. “I usually just say fashion mer- chandising is my major, even though I don't want to be either a designer or a buyer. Crozier hopes to be a fashion coordinator or consultant. “There isn't anyone else in this area doing this kind of work. I will be staying around here for a while to earn money. “I would like to get a taste of the East Coast, though, and I wouldn't mind going to Europe. “I want to meet a greater variety of people, because it's people that inspire me and give me new ideas, Crozier said. This relates to Crozier's belief that her field is an art form, just like painting or composing music. “I have always had a knack with clothes. Putting together different combinations of clothes and colors is my way of expressing myself. Some people paint; I coordinate clothes. It takes the same kind of creativity. —by Stacey Sandertin MONEY MANAGEMENT, WEIGHT control, fashion buying and fashion merchandising are all topics that students enrolled in home economics study in ad- dition to sewing and cooking.

Sports Division Sports 191 Steven Hauster 192 Gorilla harriers: third-timeCSIC champs ross Country Coach Dave Suenram can look back on the 1984 cross country season with a big smile and sweet memories. After all, it isn't every season that the Gorilla harriers win their conference, co- win their district and have several runners given both conference and district honors. Our athletes worked hard and we reached the two basic goals we set at the beginning of the year. We won our third consecutive Central State Intercollegiate Conference championship and as co- champions, our fourth District X championship in a row, Suenram said. Pittsburg State University scored 39 points to tie with Emporia State University for the district honors. The previous week, PSU had clinched its third CSIC cham- pionship with a strong team per- formance, led by team captain Willie Walsh, Dublin, Ireland, senior. Walsh took first in the meet with a time of 25:40 for the five-mile course. The harriers also had the luxury of having all five of their top runners healthy for the meet, unlike last year where injury keep all of their best runners from competing. Our guys knew they had to run well to win and that is exactly what they did, Suenram said. Walsh, Jamie Burnham, Carl Junction, Mo., sophomore, James Miller, Joplin, Mo., junior, and Monte Hays, Liberal, Mo., sophomore, were named All-CSIC runners for their seasons' per- formances. In addition, Walsh, Miller, Burnham, Hays and Mike Mc- Ternan, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore, received NAIA All- District honors for their efforts at Emporia. Pittsburg opened its season September 13 at the Wichita State University Invitational, followed by competition at the University of Kansas Invitational on September 22. The harriers captured fourth place in the WSU meet behind good, solid efforts from Burnham and Mike Lupini, Neosho, Mo., sophomore. The following week, at the Jayhawk Invitational, the fourth place team finish was repeated. Walsh led PSU, finishing in 10th place while Burnham finished 16th and Miller placed 26th. PSU hosted a dual against South- west Missouri State on October 6 at the Countryside Golf Course. The harriers lost the dual in what Suenram describes as one of the weakest competitive efforts we've had in several years. Between the loss to SWMS and the invitational two weeks later, PSU put in a lot of extra work. The extra work paid off, however, as the Gorilla runners took first place in the invitational with 32 points. The guys gave a tremendous effort and anytime you have your top five runners finish within 24 seconds of each other, that is good, Suenram said. Walsh captured third to lead PSU to the win. He was followed by Burnham at fourth, Miller finished sixth and Hays and McTernan finished 9th and 10th respectively. The final meet for the Pittsburg runners before the CSIC meet was the Southwestern Invitational in Winfield on October 6. Although PSU had defeated Southwestern earlier in the season at their own invitational, the Gorillas had to settle for a second place finish behind Southwestern. We did not get our entire team to run well. In order for the team to do well, we need the top five runners to finish within 25 seconds of each other. In this meet, they finished within 85 seconds, Suenram said. Once again, the pack was led by Walsh, who took second place with a time of 26:05. He was followed by sophomores Burhnam in fourth place at 26:29 and Hays in sixth place with a time of 26:33.—by Yvette Wheeler Mangan Cross Country Sports Dale Bratton PITTSBURG STATE'S CROSS country team worked towards several goals this year.

Cross Country Lifestyles 193 Gorillas finish 5-4 overall Offense ranks nationally 11 was a winning season for the Pittsburg State University Gorilla football team. The Gorillas finished 5-4 overall and 4-3 in conference play, placing them third, behind Kearney State and Missouri Southern in the Central States In- tercollegiate Conference. Pitt State's offense finished first in the conference, and ranked in the National Association of In- tercollegiate Athletic's Division I top ten, with a 258.9 yard-per-game average. The defense placed third in the conference. Four Gorilla seniors earned NAIA All-District 10 honors. They were running back Willie Brown, Beggs, Okla.; guard Chris Grantham, Grandview, Mo.; center John Stringer, Topeka; and tackle Terry Myers, Dunnegan, Mo. Three of the four also earned NAIA All American Honors. Grantham was named to the first team, Brown to the second, and Stringer was named honorable mention. At the opening of the season, the strength of the defense was un- certain. Defense has always been big here, said Mike Mayerske, interim head football coach. A team can do well with a good offense and a mediocre defense, but it's better to have a good defense and a mediocre offense. During the first game of the season, the Gorilla defense made a strong showing against the Arkansas Tech University Wonder Boys at PSU. The Gorilla defense displayed an awesome show of power, leading way to a 20-0 PSU victory. The defense forced five fumbles, recovering three of them. They also held Arkansas Tech to a mere five first downs and 106 total yards of offense. The Gorilla offense also came into the game with winning deter- mination. Capitalizing on all three of the recovered fumbles, the of- fense set a PSU scoring pace early in the game. Returning starter Brown displayed his running back skills, gaining 97 yards on 16 carries and scoring once. Quarterback Steve Siebuhr, Columbus senior, was also im- pressive. He completed 11 of 15 pass attempts for 116 yards in- cluding a 25-yard touchdown pass to Dennis Kohler, Raytown, Mo., senior split end. The winning streak was short lived for Pitt State though when they lost 62-14 to the University of Missouri Miners of Rolla, The Gorilla defense had a difficult time stopping the Miner rushing attack, It was just one of those days. Nothing seemed to go right for us, said Mayerske. We could have gone down there the next day and have beaten them. Junior halfback Keenan Curry rushed for 75 yards on five carries, with three touchdowns, to lead the Miners to a total of 450 yards of offense, 377 on the ground. Forced to punt eight times and losing the ball on four fumbles, the PSU offense found Rolla to be a formidable adversary. Pitt State's Brown did manage to gain 71 yards on 15 carries and sophomore Bruce Stancell, An- derson, Mo., fullback, gained 65 yards on 10 carries. In the third game of the season, the Gorillas met the Missouri Southern State College Lions in Joplin. Both teams had won their first game and lost their second. PSU played a good offensive game, 365 yards of total offense, but fell to the Lions 30-21 late in the 194 Football Sports Steven Hauster DETERMINATION IMPRESSED HEAD coach Mike Mayerske enough to allow Gene Stegeman, Overland Park freshman, to start as quarterback during the Homecoming game Stegeman filled in for injured Steve Siebuhr, Pittsburg senior.

WING BACK MONTE Weathers, Riverton freshman, breaks away from a fallen Fort Hays opponent in the Gorillas' surprise 20-13 victory over the Fort Hays State Tigers. David Barton Football Sports 195 continued from page 194 fourth quarter. Even though we lost to Missouri Southern, our performance built up our confidence, said Mayerske. We would have won that game if it hadn't been for a mental mistake, he continued. The mistake he refers to occurred in the final minutes of the ball game. PSU, after forcing the Lions into a punt situation, was penalized for having too many men on the field. The penalty gave Southern the ball and a first and 10 on which they scored. Kent Thompson, lola junior, led the Gorilla defense with four unassisted and six assisted tackles, two of which were quarterback sacks that accounted for 20 yards in losses for the Lions. With two losses, PSU needed a win. In a hard fought contest in their fourth game, the Gorillas defeated the Washburn Ichabods in Topeka. Brown and Stancell showed their offensive presence by rushing for 136 and 122 yards respectfully. The PSU defense held the Wash- burn offense to 139 yards rushing and 125 yards passing. Linebackers Kent Thompson and Larry Audley, both from lola, had a very impressive game. Thompson had 10 unassisted and three assisted tackles, while Audley made seven unassisted and three assisted stops. The Gorillas then moved into a three-way tie for second place in the CSIC with a 20-13 upset win over the 15th ranked Fort Hays State Tigers. The Gorilla offense accumulated 435 yards, and it was a spectacular day for the PSU defense which sacked the Hays quarterback eight times for a Tiger loss of 73 yards. The Tigers finished the game with only 140 yards total offense. The Gorillas were defeated in their next outing when they met Wayne State College 43-16. Even with the defeat, Mayerske said the team did not let the defeat get them down. It soon became apparent that Mayerske was right. The following week they pulled off a 10-9 upset victory over the league-leading Kearney State Antelopes. The defense had an exceptional day, holding Kearney State, who had been averaging 348.9 yards per game, to just 220. Meyerske said that the point spread could have been greater if it hadn't been for mistakes. We would have been able to significantly expand the one-point margin without offensive turnovers and mental errors. Still the one-point margin made the long trip home from Kearney awfully nice. Offensively, Siebuhr was injured midway through the game and replaced by Gene Stegeman, Overland Park freshman. Gene came in and took com- mand in a very tough situation. He showed a lot of poise and deter- mination which really caught everyone's attention ' said Mayerske. Stegeman's impression upon PSU's coaching staff earned him a Homecoming start at quarterback, for the injured Siebuhr, against Missouri Western the following week. The game proved to be par- ticularly upsetting for the Gorillas who lost 42-34, It was like watching a track meet, said Mayerske, both teams just went up and down the field. Despite the final score the Gorilla offense still managed to get 489 total yards. We beat ourselves, said Mayerske, It's tough to stay in an offensive game when you lose three fumbles and two interceptions.

In the closing seconds of the game PSU had an opportunity to tie the score, but Stegeman's pass was deflected just out of reach of its intended receiver. The Gorillas finished the season with a pronounced 44-22 win over Emporia State University at Pitt- sburg. During the game. Brown, playing his final game for PSU, gained 265 yards on 37 carries. His rushing yardage set a new school record for the most yards by an individual in a game. The old record was 257, set by Richard Overton in 1980. Brown finished the season with 1,183 yards on 194 carries, making him only the fifth Gorilla back to rush for over 1,000 yards in a season. Mayerske said that he was satisfied with the way the season ended. It was a pretty enjoyable season, he said. We had a lot of great senior leadership. Had a few breaks in our close games gone our way, we could have had an even better season. —by Ron Ausemus David Barton MISTAKES PLAGUED THE Gorillas as they lost to the Missouri Southern State Lions 30-21.

Football Sports 199 David Barton Football honors come in handfuls I™ootball honors came in handfuls for the 1984 Pittsburg State Gorillas as the National Association for Intercollegiate Athletics and the Central States Intercollegiate Conference dealt out All-American and All-Conference awards to several senior players. Among those named to the NAIA Division I football team were Willie Brown, John Stringer, Terry Myers and Chris Grantham. The All-Conference awards were distributed to Dave Hammons, Steve Siebuhr, Brown, Stringer, Myers and Grantham. Brown, Beggs, Okla., was awarded second-team, All- American tailback and first-team, All-Conference tailback. I was ecstatic. I was happy about the All-Conference award. I was very happy about the All-American award ' Brown said. Offensive Line Coach Bill Samuels, said the team liked blocking for Brown. I'm not just saying this to be saying something. Those guys really liked to block for him. Brown finished the 1984 season with 1,183 total rushing yards and 10 touchdowns. He also broke the University record for the most rushing yards in a game. During the last game of the season against the Emporia State Hornets, Brown rushed a total of 265 yards on 37 carries, breaking Richard Overton's record of 257 yards set in 1980 against Missouri Western. Head Coach Mike Mayerske, said Willie Brown accomplished a lot of great things. He did a fantastic job. Grantham, Grandview, Mo., was also named to the All-American football team as first-team offensive guard, and he achieved the first- team offensive guard on the All- Conference list. Grantham was PSU's first three- time All-District X selection. He was named to the 1982 and 1983 District X squads and the 1982 and 1983 All- League teams. Samuels said, Grantham was the best offensive lineman I've coached since I've been here. He deserves the All-American. He's a good lineman. Another Gorilla to receive both All-American and All-Conference awards was Terry Myers, Bolivar, Mo. In 1983, Myers received All- Conference honorable mention defensive tackle and in 1984 he became an end. Myers was one of the leading pass-rushers in the CSIC. Myers won the first-team Academic All-American defensive end position and the second-team All-Conference defensive end position. He's probably the best center since I've been here, said Samuels. We have a good offensive team. Dave Hammons, Osawatomie, and Steve Siebuhr, Columbus, both earned All-Conference awards for the 1984 football season. Hammons, who made second- team punter, averaged around 40 yards a punt. Mayerske said, Hammons is a good solid kicker. He is most noted for kicking the field goal against Kearney. Hammons kicked a 38-yard field goal in the last 39 seconds of the game to bring the Gorillas to a 10-9 victory over the Antelopes. Siebuhr earned the second-team quarterback position on the All- Conference list. He averaged 11.8 yards per game and had a total of 848 yards for the season. His average yards rushing was 22.8 with a total of 182 yards for the season. The Gorillas ended their season with an overall record of 5-4 and a conference record of 4-3. We were inconsistent with our win-loss record, said Samuels. We beat some we shouldn't have, and we could have beat some we didn't. Most of the seniors agreed that the season turnout was not as successful as they'd hoped it to be. Stringer commented that it could have been better. Myers said we played as best as we could, but we lost when we shouldn't have. We were real inconsistent, Siebuhr said. Some games we played real well and others we had problems. We just couldn't put it all together. But, on the most part, it went pretty well. — by Audrey VanBecelaere 200 Football Senior Recognition Sports David Barton Jason Mueller, defensive end David Barton Steve Siebuhr, quarterback David Barton Football Senior Recognition Sports 201 David Barton STRETCHING UP FOR a spike is Becky Franklin, Olathe sophomore, as Sherry Brooks, Bonner Springs senior, prepares for a pick up. The Gussies finished 1984 season play with a 1-13 conference record and a 12-24 overall record. Gussies' season not so hot Coach anticipates next year kay, so maybe the 1984 season wasn't the best for the Pittsburg State University volleyball team, but like the old saying goes — there's always next year. Next year is just what first-year head coach Cathy Schulte is looking forward to with anticipation. Although the Gussies finished the season with a 1-13 conference and 12-24 overall record, unable to qualify for post-season play in the District X conference, Schulte is encouraged by the performance turned in by some of her un- derclassmen. I saw some promising things from people who will be coming back next year. We definitely hope to have a more competitive season next year, Schulte said. The Gussies began the season with hopes of playing in the national tournament and Schulte had high hopes for her team's performance. I'm hoping for a productive season. Although the CS1C is a strong conference, I feel with the personnel we have that we will do well. A lot of leadership will be needed from our seniors. We might get off to a slow start as there is always an adjustment period when a new coach comes in, but I do hope to do well, Schulte said. Fate, however, had other plans for Pittsburg State. Through the course of the season, the squad lost four seniors and one freshman. Injuries to two other players at the midway point in the season left the Gussies with barely enough players to fill the court. Pittsburg opened its season at the Northwest Missouri State In- vitational, Sept 6-7, finishing in the top four at the tournament. In their first game, PSU downed the Lady Hornets of Emporia State University, 15-5 in the first game, but bowed in the second game, 13- 15. The Gussies pulled together to win the final game 17-15 to take the match. Morningside College in Iowa was the next opponent for the Gussies. Pittsburg just could not seem to overcome its opponent, losing the match in two straight games, 8-15 and 13-15. The Gussies finished pool play with a loss to College of St. Mary's of Omaha to enter the single- elimination tournament with a 1-2 record. PSU Gussies defeated their first round opponent, Augustana, 15-10, 12-15,15-12, but fell to St. Mary's in the second round, 7-15, 2-15, and were eliminated from the tour- nament. The next weekend, Pittsburg hosted a round-robin tournament. PSU took third in the tournament behind first-place Missouri Southern State College and second place Drury College. The Gussies had a three-game winning streak in the tournament with wins over Baker University, William jewell College and Labette County Community College. In their fourth game of the tournament, PSU's winning streak was broken by Drury College. Drury defeated the Gussies, 12-15,15-13 and 13-15. The Gussies next tournament appearance was Sept. 14-15 at the Missouri Southern Invitational. PSU made it to the semi-finals before a loss to MSSC ended their tour- nament participation.

Pitt State advanced into the first round of tournament play by downing Southwest Baptist in three games, 15-5, 11-15 and 15-6. In the first round of tournament play, PSU defeated John Brown University 15- 11, 15-2, to advance to the second round and face the Lady Lions of Missouri Southern. PSU took the first game 15-9, but MSSC made a strong rally, winning the next two games 9-15, 2-15 to knock PSU out of the tournament. In CSIC competition Oct. 5-6 at Washburn, the Cussies did not manage to win a single game throughout the entire weekend. The Lady Ichabods handed PSU its first loss of the weekend on Friday. The Gussies put up a strong effort before losing in four games, 8- 15, 6-15,15-13 and 10-15. On Saturday, PSU took opponent Fort Hays to five games but failed to win the match as they lost 15-13, IB- 14, 7-15,13-15 and 8-15. We got outplayed. There were games we could have won, but when it came to a clutch situation, we didn't come through like we are capable of playing, Schulte said. The Gussies took an 0-7 con- ference and 11-18 overall record into conference play in Kearney, Neb., Oct. 19-20. PSU faced Kearney Friday night, taking the Lady Lopers to four games. However, it was not good enough. PSU won the first game 15- 11 but lost the next three 7-15, 1-15 and 9-15. On Saturday, Pittsburg squared off against rival Emporia State University. The Gussies were unable to get their momentum built up and the Lady Hornets took all three games 9-15,14-16 and 10-15. Lady Luck finally caught up with PSU in their third mach. After three hard-fought games, PSU emerged victorious over the Lady Wildcats of Wayne State 15-10,15-11 and 15-13. The win was the first for the Gussies in conference play. The Gussies began play Friday night against the Missouri Western Lady Griffons. Western won the match in three straight games 14-16, 4-15 and 9-15. On Saturday, the Pittsburg momentum started out strong as they defeated Washburn 16-14 in the first game of a best-of-five match. But the Lady Ichabods came back with a strong rally to win the next three gmes 3-15, 3-15 and 12-15. Pitt State next faced Kearney, losing in three games 4-15, 14-16 and 9-15 to end the tournament and the season on a losing note. I wasn't really pleased that we lost, but we had some of the best rallies that we have had all season, Schulte said. Although the Gussies did not have one of the- better scoring seasons, they did get a lot of good per- formances from individual players. Janet Clasen, Maize senior, and Sherry Brooks, Basehor senior, led the team with 39 and 40 blocks respectively. In addition, both women held spots in the top 10 blockers in the CSIC all season. Sharon Hunt, Louisburg senior, was also in the top 10 in the con- ference in assists throughout the season. Hunt finished out the season with a total of 196 assists for the Gussies.

Brooks and Clasen held spots in the Central States Intercollegiate Conference's list of top ten blockers in the league. Brooks led the squad with 40 with Clasen close behind with 39 blocks. In last year's volleyball season, Clasen led the league in attack points and was third in scoring. Hunt was listed as one of the top ten leaders in the conference with assists, with 196 assists for the Gussies. She received an All- American Conference Honorable Mention for her work as a setter for PSU. Meek, the last of the graduating starters, has given the Gussies four years of competition. A graduate from a strong volleyball program, Meek said that she has found it is a whole different game to play on the college level. The players are more mature and the game is a lot more precise. You have to have all-around good skills because you are competing for a position on the team, Meek said. The four seniors will also be leaving open slots on the starting lineup. According to Cathy Shulte, head women's volleyball coach, the departure of four starters simultaneously could have a negative effect on the team. Their graduation will create a definite void in the team that we will have to try to fill, Shulte said. However, we have some very good younger players who will now advance to starting positions and who should be able to fill the gap.

Gorillas capture fans' attention Basketball season ends 16-14 ithough the Pittsburg State University Gorilla basketball team did not win the national title or the Central States Intercollegiate Conference title, the team did capture the attention of many students and people in the Pittsburg community. It was a nice bonus to have crowds of the size that we had this year. We really didn't expect it, said first-year head basketball coach Jerry Reynolds. The fans in the stands had good reason to come out to the games this year. The Gorillas finished the season with a 16-14 regular season mark, their first winning season since 1977. The record was good enough to put the Gorillas in the District 10 playoffs with the number five seat. Despite the loss to Marymount in the first round of the playoffs, coach Reynolds was pleased with the performance his Gorillas gave and is optimistic about the future of the program. We proved in our games against nationally ranked teams that we can play close with anyone. We sur- prised a lot of people, Reynolds said. At the beginning of the season Reynolds set three goals that he thought the team could reach. The first goal was to have a winning record. The Gorillas reached that with the help of two victories to end the regular season. The last time the team was in the black was in 1977 with a mark of 15- 12. Goal number two: make the playoffs. Even though the team finished seventh in the conference, the Gorillas' Dunkel rating, a power rating given to other NAIA teams throughout the nation, was good enough to put them in the playoffs. The third and final goal set by Reynolds was to finish in the top 40's in the Dunkel ratings. This was also accomplished with the Gorillas finishing 43rd, better than Reynolds had expected. Many factors indicate the success of the Gorillas during the season. The defensive effort displayed by the Gorillas was a surprise to Reynolds. The team went from last place in the conference in team defense a year ago, to tops in the CSIC with a 65.3 points per game average. The top defense in the conference is a tag the Gorillas can be proud of, especially since they are in the CSIC. This conference is regarded across the nation as the toughest in the NAIA. Three teams from the conference advanced to the national tour- nament, including repeat cham- pion, Fort Hays State University. PSU had a lot of success with the help of the senior leadership and exceptional talent possessed by Tony McCoy. The 63 Chicago, III., native led the conference in rebounding with a 9.3 rebounds per game average. McCoy was eighth in the con- ference in scoring with an 18.3 average, eighteenth in field goal percentage with .496 percentage and was sixth in the CSIC in assists with 5.2 per game. All around, McCoy was the best player on our team, Reynolds said. His statistics were simply amazing. As years go by they will be more appreciated. Ten years from now people will look back in amazement at McCoy for his accomplishments. It will be a long tjme before we see his kind of talent in this area again, maybe never, Reynolds said. In addition to McCoy, the Gorillas were led by 6'2 guard Jay Parker, Topeka senior. Parker finished 10th in the CSIC with a 15.6 point average and led the team in free- throw percentage with an 84.2 percent. Jeff Guiot, a Chanute junior guard, transfered to PSU at the 208 Men's Basketball Sports i UNDER HEAD COACH Jerry Reynolds freshmen such as Sean Pyle, Kansa City, Mo., got the chance to prove themselves on the court.

PSU started the season in a manner not uncommon to coach Reynolds. For the 18th straight year he won his season opener, this year defeating Benedictine, 64-52. The Gorillas then competed in the Northeastern State Oklahoma Tournament where the team dropped two close games. In the first, McCoy scored 25 points to lead PSU, but the Gorillas lost 64-63 when Central State's Chuck Ker- sgieter made two free throws with one second left on the clock for a come-from-behind win. In the second game PSU lost to the host team 67-61, after closing up a 10-point differece at one stretch of the game. McCoy led PSU with 19 points and 11 rebounds. Parker and Gene Grounds each added 10. Despite the loss to the Redmen, Reynolds said that he was confident that his team could be winners if they played the remaining games as well as they played in this game. The Gorillas did not disappoint their coach. They went out and won their next game 74-73 over a tough Kansas Newman team. The squad then took the last two of three games in the Evangel College Thanksgiving Tournament and downed John Brown University 47-43 to head into Joplin, Mo. With a three-game winning streak, the Gorillas opened CSIC play against Missouri Southern State College. PSU had a 30-28 halftime lead, but could not hang on, losing to the Lions 61-55. Jay Parker led the squad with 16 points while McCoy had 10, with five rebounds and seven asssists. Next the Gorillas recorded their second win over JBU by a score of 75-63. Three players scored in double figures, McCoy led with 26 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists. Parker and Grounds each added 13 as the Gorillas moved to 6-4. PSU traveled to Warrensburg, Mo., to take part in the Central Missouri State Tourney where the Gorillas downed Midwestern State in the opening round 70-63, led by Parker with 24 points and McCoy with 23, and 13 rebounds. In the championship game the Gorillas were checked by Central Missouri State, a team which won the NCAA Division II National Championship last year. The powerful Mules defeated the Gorillas 62-47. McCoy was named to the all-tournament team with 47 points and 22 rebounds in two games. The Gorillas won their next three games, including a 64-57 win over Missouri Southern. The game was especially sweet for the Gorillas who were beaten 61-55 by the Lions eartlier in the season. PSU was led by MCoy with 18 points in a game that was regionally tevelevised. He also had 10 rebounds and 5 assists. Guiot added 10 points and Grounds scored eight, while leading the team in rebounds with 13, and five blocked shots. PSU then stumbled a bit, losing its next three to Kearney State, Fort Hays and Washburn. The loss to Washburn at home may stick in fans' minds as the game in which Reynolds disputed a call by the referees. Reynolds was ejected from the game before the first half ended. PSU lost 79-55. The Gorillas next played Emporia State at home in what coach Reynolds calls one of the biggest game of the year for the team. PSU downed the Hornets 83-70 with three players in double figures, led by Parker with 22, and McCoy and Guiot each with 19. McCoy grabbed 19 rebounds while Grounds had nine. The next five games for the Gorillas were up and down, they recorded wins over Missouri Western and Benedictine, but lost to Wayne State, Emporia and Wash- burn. The Gorillas played another big game of the season when they entertained Fort Hays State at John Lance Arena, PSU led the first part of the game, then the two teams played basket-for-basket, keeping things tight. 210 Men's Basketball Sports AFTER NINE YEARS as head coach at Rockhurst College of Kansas City and a compiled record of 171 wins and 81 loses, Jerry Reynolds came to Pitt State as the Gorillas new head basketball coach.

His 1,046 total career points ranks him as Pitt State's eighth all-time scorer, the only two-year player to break the 1,000 mark at PSU. Men's Basketball Sports 211 continued from page 210 The Gorillas led by three with 20 seconds left but, caught by a fast break and in-bounds turnover, were defeated by the Tigers 57-56. Guiot and McCoy ted the team with 16 points, while Greg Lambkins, Leavenworth junior, tossed in 10. PSU finished the remainder of the regular season by winning three of four games to put them into the playoffs. Sadly, PSU was knocked off in the first round against Marymount to end the Gorillas season. But coach Reynolds does not see it as the Gorillas' last chance to be in the playoffs. This year was a key year for our team, Reynolds said. We had a good recruiting year and have a legitimate chance to do even better next year. We should be a bigger ball club with plenty of quickness. This should allow us to play a more physical game. Guiot will be a big key next year. He has the potential to have a super year, Reynolds said. PSU may not be contenders to win the CSIC title next year, but Reynolds feels that making it into the district playoffs and winning there is more important to the team. PSU fans should prepare for good basketball from the mens team in the future according to Reynolds. The crowds that helped the players this year should see much of the same type of ball that the Gorillas played against MSSC and Fort Hays at home. Barring any major disasters, PSU should never have a losing season again, Reynolds said.—by J.P.

Steven HausFei Men's Basketball Sports 213 AAcCoy and Parker graduate with athletic honors P ittsburg State University is losing two valuable basketball players this year, both from the men's team. Tony McCoy, a senior guard from Chicago and transfer from the Malcolm X Junior College in Chicago, only played for the Gorillas for two seasons in 57 games. However, he graduates this year with several honors and awards to his credit. He is the University's eighth all- time high scorer, with 1,046 total career points. He is the only two- year player to ever break the 1,000 point mark. McCoy is also at the top of the individual scorers' list, with an average of 18.4 points per game. This breaks the 18.0 average record set by Calvin Kinzer from 1971-75. In addition, McCoy was named the National Association of In- tercollegiate Athletics All-District X honoree, and was named to the 1984-85 Central States In- tercollegiate Conference first team. Tony is obviously deserving of this honor, said head coach Jerry Reynolds. We're very pleased he received district and conference first team honors. We feel very strongly he is one of the top 10 guards in the NAIA even though he didn't receive national recognition. McCoy was also honored by his own teammates, having been named the Gorilla's Most Valuable Player for 1984-85. Jay Parker, senior guard from Wichita and transfer from Fort Scott Community College, received honorable mention recognition at the Central States Intercollegiate Conference. Reynolds said Jay has the abilities and he contributed at the first team level. There were just so many outstanding athletes in our 'national championship' con- ference, Parker was the Gorilla's second leading scorer, averaging 15.6 points per game. He also averaged 3.2 rebounds per game.

Champ saw more action this year, scoring more and assisting the Gussies with rebounds and tough inside play. Gussies face tough schedule A the basketball season began, the Pittsburg State University Gussies knew they were starting an uphill battle. The Gussies would be playing one of the toughest schedules in recent years. Coming into the season, women's head basketball coach Barb Grill thought the Gussies would be competitive, more so than their predicted fifth place conference finish. With seven veterans returning from last year's 16-10 season, the team had every reason to expect more. Back for the 1984-85 season was All-CSIC and NAIA District 10 choice LaTonya McGee, Kansas City junior. McGee had a 16.7 points per game average and a 7,5 rebound average. Other returning juniors were Darlene Champ, Kansas City, and Roselyn Franklin, Kansas City. Returning sophomores for the Gussies were Terry Barto, Fron- tenac; Julie Swarinski, Columbus; Anna Nutt, Saratoga, Wyo.; and Carla Caputo, Pittsburg. New members to the team in- cluded Shari Waters, Topeka junior; Becky Franklin, Olathe sophomore; and Teri Schmitt, Columbus sophomore; Deanna Hooper, Thayer freshman; and Jeanie Billings, Valley Falls freshman. Returning for her sixth season at the helm of the the Pitt State team, Crill began the season with a career record of 371-72. She has led PSU to two District 10 titles, and been named District 10 coach of the year twice. At Grill's side was former PSU basketball star and leading rebounder, Carla Barto, Frontenac graduate student, as assistant women's basketball coach. Just coming out above .500 against pre-conference competition would be great, Crill said, We will be looking to play well, be very competitive and gain confidence and experience for later challenges. In the annual Alumni Came the Cussies won 67-51, giving Crill hope for the season. Overall, we had a good effort out of the team. They showed really good movement, and sharp shooting from the outside opened up the inside game. As the season got under way, the Gussies were hit by a string of bad breaks, losing both of the first two games and starting forward McGee. McGee injured her knee in the Gussies' 74-58 loss to Oauchita Baptist University, in which she was the team's leading scorer and rebounder. The loss came at the Cotton Blossom Invitational at the University Of Arkansas, Monticello, Ark. UA-M dropped the Gussies 59- SI to open the tourney, despite the scoring of McGee and Champ, who hit for 10 and 15 points respectively. The team really showed poise after LaTonya was injured. It becomes a factor to any team to unexpectedly lose a player of her caliber, but the ladies did a nice job against a strong opponent. Our goal will be the same, to continue to play the best ball we can, Crill said. The Gussies' bad luck continued in the Pizza Hut Classic at Warrensburg, Mo. North Dakota State rapped the ladies 91-50. Finally Pitt State pulled out a win, edging the School of the Ozarks 78- 75, led by Waters with 23 points, and Nutt with 14 points and seven assists. In the next game, the Gussies were defeated 89-85 by John Brown University in Siloam Springs, Ark. However, they later won decisive games over Mid-America Nazarene and John Brown University, this time on their home court. Early in December, the Gussies traveled to Olathe to play in the Mid-America Classic. In the opening game, PSU was defeated by the Classic's champion, Rockhurst, by a score of 63-62. In their final competitions before Christmas break, the Gussies won their last two games in the Classic. Pitt State downed Avila 82-52 then 216 Women's Basketball Sports Date Bration WITH THAT LITTLE bit of extra effort.

Women's Basketball Sports 217 David Barton continued from page 216 trounced the host Mid-America Nazarene 70-53 for the second time in the season. These wins brought the Gussies' record to 5-5, with a standing of 2-0 at home and 3-5 on the road. Dec. 28 and 29, the Gussies dropped a pair of games in the Northern Colorado Classic, Greeley, Colo., pushing their record below the .500 mark. The Pitt State women were first beaten by Fort Lewis College 84-67, then trounced by the College of the Ozarks by a 32 point margin, 72-40. Coach Crill was hoping that the familiar surroundings of the John Lance Arena would help the Gussies pull out of the slump that they had fallen into. But, the home court advantage did not help. The Gussies dropped both games they played in the Coal Miner's Classic at PSU to fall to a record of 5-9. Pitt State suffered defeats from non-conference foes. Northeastern State University downed the Gussies 62-43 in the opening round, while the College of the Ozarks picked up its second victory over the Gussies in as many outings during the season with a 63-47 win. PSU's Terry Barto was named to the all-tournament team. Barto scored 22 points, including 4 of 4 from the free throw line, and grabbed 11 rebounds in the Classic. Finally, the women were able to put things together and came up with a pair of victories, as the team began to enter conference play. The Gussies first defeated Marymount, Salina, 67-62, then went on to an upset victory over Midland-Lutheran College. Terry Barto led the Gussies in the wins, scoring a total of 37 points and pulling in 14 rebounds. Guard Waters had 21 points for the two games. Champ dominated the boards with a total of 23 rebounds. Throughout the season, the Gussies had players among the top in the conference in several categories. Waters was ranked for high scoring while guard Caputo was a conference contender in assists, averaging four per game. Pitt State made their season mark 4-0 against District 10 opponents when the Gussies made a strong showing against Benedictine College, Atchinson, winning 72-50. Barto led all scorers with 25 points and also pulled in seven rebounds. Waters and Nutt showed their skill at the free throw line, both finishing perfect for the night. Champ led the team in rebounding, with a total of 16. The bench got into play when Sarwinski came in and scored eight and had three rebounds. As the Gussies began C5IC conference play, the women dropped their first three games, losing 79-60 to Kearney State College; 78-67 to Fort Hays State University; and 81-68 to Missouri Southern State College. Waters was the star for Pitt State against MSSC, scoring a season high with 33 points. Things did not improve for the team as it continued its string of defeats, first at the hands of Wash- burn University by a score of 67- 50, and a one point loss to Emporia State Unviersity, 73-72. Nutt and Waters led the Gussies with 14 and 13 points respectively, while Champ pulled in 16 rebounds in the loss to Washburn. Four players scored in double figures as the team received a balanced scoring effort from its players. Waters led with 20, Caputo had 15, and Barto and Nutt each with 14. Barto also had 16 rebounds while Champ had 12 in the 73-72 loss to Emporia. PSU came back with two straight wins, beating Missouri Western, 65- 63, and Wayne State, 81-59. During the next three games, though, the Gussies went back to their old ways. They went down in defeat to Em- poria, 66-65; Washburn 78-57; and Fort Hays, 95-90. Terry Barto was honored by the PSU team as being named Player of the Year. Earlier in the season, the CSIC honored Barto as player of the week. Barto averaged 14 points per game and six rebounds per game. Although the team experienced numerous losses this year, Crill and the team can look forward to the next season with all starters retur- ning.— by J.P. Milbum A LITTLE EXTRA luck never hurt anyone.

The harriers consistently scored well in all of their meets this year, including the Central State In- tercollegiate Conference meet which they won for the fifth con- secutive year. The Gorillas ran away with the meet with 219 and one-half points, outscoring second place Kearney State by more than 60 points. Pitt- sburg showed well in nearly every running event, with the exception of the steeplechase and the 5,000 and 10,000 meter races. On the first day, PSU picked up fifth and sixth place finishes in the steeplechase behind the efforts of Jamie Burnham, Carl Junction senior, and James Miller, Joplin, Mo., sophomore. Bruce Stancell, Anderson, Mo., sophomore, and Tom Beebe, Bonner Springs junior, placed third and fourth respectively in the shot put competition, while Anthony Wallace, lola senior, picked up a second place finish in the long jump wih a leap of 22 feet four and one- half inches. Wallace picked up an additional second place finish in the high jump with a jump of six feet eight inches. The harriers got good use out of Aaron Lang, Coffeyville junior. Lang picked up two firsts with a win in the 100 and 200 meter sprints. Lang also turned in a personal best in the 200 meter with a time of 20.9. Monte Hays, Liberal, Mo., sophomore, and Willie Walsh, Dublin Ireland, senior took first and second respectively in the 1,500 meters. They also finished first and second in the 800, but with Walsh taking the honors and Hays finishing second. Pittsburg grabbed three more firsts with wins by Todd Harris, Erie junior, in the 400 meter intermediate hurdles and the 110 meter high hurdles and Matt Kuestersteffen, Yates Center sophomore, in the 400 meters.

Track Sports 225 Five senior thinclads bid PSU farewell Win fifth consecutive CSIC title The Pittsburg State University track and field team had a winning season this year, but must now say goodbye to five outstanding senior men. Willie Walsh, Dublin, Ireland senior, is a four-time NAIA All American. In 1985, he became national champion in the two-mile run at an NAIA indoor meet. In 1984, Walsh received the Prentice Gudgen award. This annual award is given to the PSU track man who scores highest in the con- ference track meet. Walsh has also been on the PSU track honor roll. To make the honor roll an athlete must place in the top six of his event in NAIA national competition and be designated a NAIA All American. In 1982, Walsh made the honor roll twice, once for his two-mile run and once for the distance medley relay. Walsh again made the honor roll in 1983 for his two-mile run. According to Dave Suenram, head track and cross country coach at PSU, Walsh was one of our all '■.ime best mid-distance runners. Anthony Wallace, lola senior, a 1985 NAIA All American high jumper, will also graduate this yeai. In 1984, Wallace was the con- ference and district champion. He was also on the track honor roll in 1984 for his high jump, and holds the school record for this event at seven feet. Emory Walford, Stanley senior, will leave the team this year after four years of competition. He was the team's leading pole vaulter in 1983, '84, and '85, with his best height being fifteen feet. Dan Thomasson, Wellsville senior, was the 1985 track team captain. A three-time NAIA All American in the javelin com- petition, Thomasson was also the NAIA National Champion in 1984. In 1983 and 84 Thomasson made the track team honor roll for his javelin throws, and holds the school record for this event with a 254-foot throw. Tim Buchanan, Stanley senior, is the final graduating member of the track team. His event was 400 meter sprints, and he has a best time of 50.3 seconds. A sixth senior who will be returning to the PSU campus and track team next year is Aaron Lang, Coffeyville. Coach Suenram said that Lang competed two years and then missed one year because of an injury. Lang has been named an All- American as a sprinter on six dif- ferent occasions. He is the best sprinter in the history of PSU, Suenram said. Lang holds the school's record in the 100 and 200 meter sprints with times of 10.51 and 21.14 respec- tively. —by Stacey Sanderlin Willie Walsh Aaron Lang STRAINING TO KEEP ahead and still maintain his pace is Willie Walsh, Dublin, Ireland, senior.

The Gussies were preparing for the next day's journey to Ed- mond, Okla,, to compete in the Central State In- vitational Tournament. Gussies rank fifth in nation fter suffering through an up- and-down season, the Pittsburg State University women's softball team came through when the pressure was on and won not only the District 10 tournament but also placed fifth at the national tour- nament in Indianapolis, Ind. Coach Mary Nutter said, Pitt- sburg State University and the community can be proud of the team. The kids played with so much intensity and gave it all they had. With a score of 7-0, the Gussies beat Mesa College, Grand Junction, in their first game at the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics tournament. The Gussies fell into the losing bracket though with a 3-1 loss to Saganaw Valley, Mich,, after 11 innings. PSU rallied to take the next two contests with a 3-0 victory over Davison-Elkins, W, Va.; and 3-0 against Saint Mary's College, An- tonio, Texas. The Gussies' battle through the losers bracket was stopped by Washburn University, The Lady Blues 1-0 win eliminated PSU from competition, placing the Gussies fifth in the nation. Second baseman Carole Chaney, Overland Park senior, was named to the first-team NAIA All American squad. Mary Slobaszewski, Iowa Falls, Iowa; senior, was named to the Academic All American squad. Two of the Gussies were named to the 1985 All American team; Tracy Mayberry, Basehor senior, third base; and Pam Couch, Miami, Okla., senior, right field. Sheila Miller, Columbus senior, was another real plus for the Gussies, Nutter said. Sheila won all three games for us. She only gave out seven hits in 21 innings. This and of course finishing fifth were highlights. We are very happy. It is nice to even be one of the six to go to nationals. Of course, in the back of your mind, there is always a disappointment that we didn't finish higher, Nutter said. This was the first year since 1982 that PSU's Gussies have finished in the top position at the District 10 tournament. Pittsburg went into the tour- nament seeded number two behind Washburn, but the final results were switched —PSU was first and Wash- burn had to settle for second. The Gussies first opponent of the tournament was Baker University who PSU shut out 3-0 behind the efforts of winning pitcher Brenda Noble, Edna senior, who gave up no runs on five hits for the game. Next up for the Gussies was rival Emporia State, Pittsburg had struggled with the Lady Hornets all season, but this time Emporia could not stop the Gussies. Pittsburg exploded for six runs in the second inning and went on to defeat Em- poria 8-4. It was a real good win. It felt good to beat Emporia especially since the kids were playing so well, Nutter said. The next day, Pittsburg State and Washburn, the only two undefeated teams, squared off. Washburn fell into the loser's bracket, leaving PSU undefeated. Washburn had another shot at Pittsburg in the championship game, but once again it was Pittsburg State who walked away with the win, this time with a score of 5-3. Needless to say, I can't say enough good things about the kids. They played great defense, the batting was fantastic — they really came through with good hits when we really needed them, Nutter said. Pitt State opened its softball season at the Central States Tour- nament, March 8-9 in Edmond, Okla., where they earned a 2-2 record. The Gussies took the record on a spring break trip to Texas, where things did not go quite the way they had planned. We were not ready to put a season together. We just couldn't get everything to click. Although we didn't win many games, I felt the turning point in the trip was against Stephen F. Austin College. Austin was ranked number two 228 Softball Sports Steven Mausler AFTER SCOOPINC UP the ball. Michelle Wadley, Tulsa, Okla., sophomore tries to tag out a runner for Missouri State Southern College.

This is a top-ranked team and we played them close, so that made everyone realize the potential that we have ' Nutter said. Good offense, defense and a strong performance by the pitching staff combined to push Pittsburg to a 5-1 record during their annual softball invitational March 22-23. The Gussies scored wins over Southwest Baptist College, 3-0; Wayne State, 5-3; Lutheran College, 8-1; and Tarkio University, 2-1. PSU's only loss of the weekend was to Kearney State, 4-1. One of the highlights of the games were the performances given by the pitching staff. Miller and Noble threw back-to-back shutout games. The Gussies traveled to Nor- theastern Oklahoma State University in Tahlequah, Okla., for a double- header April 3. Pittsburg won the first game 7-2 behind the pitching of Noble, but dropped the second game 2-1. Losing pitcher in the 11 inning game was Miller. In the first game, the kids had Northeastern State down and really stuck it to them. They scored three runs in the third inning, with two outs, so that was a real plus for us, Nutter said. After taking Easter break off, Pittsburg played in yet another double-header when they hosted Southwest Missouri State University on April 9. The first game became a pitchers' dual between Miller and South- west's pitcher. The score was tied 0- 0 going into the eighth inning when Southwest broke the game open in the ninth inning, scoring three runs and winning the game, 4-1. PSU took revenge in the second game, however, and with the support of strong pitching by Noble, won the game 5-4. The following weekend, PSU traveled to Topeka for the Washburn Tournament, only to find it delayed by rain. When the fields finally dried out enough to play, Pittsburg took on rival Emporia State. Pitt State and Emporia battled for eight innings before the international tie-breaker rule was put into use. As a result, Emporia was the victor of the game 3-1 leaving Pittsburg to face their next opponent which turned out to be more rain. The rest of the tournament was rained out, giving Pittsburg a 0-1 record for the weekend. Pitt State got another shot at Emporia three days later when they hosted a double-header. Behind the pitching of Turner freshman, Kim Hammontree, PSU won the first game 3-2, and the second, 2-0. The Gussies extended their two- game winning streak to four with a double-header sweep over Nor- theastern Oklahoma State on April 17. The wins brought the Gussies season mark to .500 with a record of 16-16, which they took into a double-elimination tournament April 19-20 at Missouri Western in St. Joseph, Mo. Pittsburg lost their first two games and were quickly eliminated from the tournament. In a total change of play, the Gussies turned in a strong per- formance against Missouri Southern State College, just four days after their disastrous weekend play. In the first game of a double- header, the Gussies blanked the Lady Lions for a 3-0 win. Ham- montree gave up just four hits in her first collegiate shutout. In the second game, however, the MSSC squad returned the favor, defeating PSU 1-0. The loss brought the Gussies record to 17-19. The Gussies managed to get things together in time for the CSIC tournament April 26-27 at Topeka. Pittsburg lost their first game 2-1 to Missouri Southern, placing them in the losers bracket. Later in the day, Pittsburg met and defeated Fort Hays State Universtiy 5-0, despite playing the last two innings in the rain. On Saturday, PSU met the number three seeded Washburn and defeated the Lady Blues 3-0 in extra innings. In their final game of the tournament, PSU faced Emporia but was unable to defeat them and lost by a score of 1-0.— by Wette Wheeler Mangan PITT STATE'S WOMEN'S softball coach Mary Nutter watchs another inning end as the Gussies fail to score their baserunner against Southwest Missouri State University.

David Barton Softball _ Sports 231 Seniors receive All-Conference awards New sports increase participation arol Chaney, Kim Perkins, and Brenda Noble, Pittsburg State University seniors, are recipients of the All-Conference awards for the 1985 softball season. Chaney, second baseman for the Gussies, earned a position on the first-team All-Conference squad, and was also selected for the All- District X softball squad. Chaney, from Overland Park, lead her team members in batting and RBI's. Coach Mary Nutter said that Chaney is an outstanding defensive player and an outstanding hitter. Going into the Bi-District Tour- nament, Chaney had a total of 28 RBI's and a batting average of .0312. She said that her goal for the 1985 season was to get more RBI's than she got last year. Her total RBI's last year was 15. Chaney played with the team two years. Last year she was awarded to the second-team All-American. Carol is the best athlete I have ever coached. She is probably by far the best female athlete PSU has ever seen. She is an outstanding defensive player and an outstanding hitter. She has no weaknesses as far as softball is concerned, Nutter said. Chaney said that the team as a whole played a little inconsistently, but compared to last year, she said that they reached their peak at the right time. Last year we started out better and this year was just the opposite. We started out slow, but we reached our peak at the right time, Chaney said. Gussies' pitcher, Noble, from Edna, was named for the CSIC honorable mention, and was also selected for a position on the All- District X squad. She has a season record, going into the bi-district, of 10-6. Coming to PSU from Coffeyville Community College, Noble has been with the Gussies for two years. She said she felt she has improved since her first year on the team. Noble, who said she has never played on a school softball team. but has played on a summer team for many years, said that her confidence has improved. It was a hard go, but I have more confidence now, I know what to expect when I walk onto the field, Noble said. Nutter said that Noble is a hard- working pitcher. She gives 200 percent to the team and in practice she gives 110 percent, Nutter said. Noble said I don't play unless I intend to win. I hate to lose. I hate to lose more than anything. Nutter said that Noble's dedication and hard work got her where she is. Noble said that the team had high expectations this year but that they faced some tough NCAA Division I teams. The most successful part of our year is right now (district playoffs), Noble said. Perkins, Lenexa senior, was awarded honorable mention by the CSIC. She has been catcher for the PSU Gussies for three years, and in 1984, earned All-America, All- Conference and All-District awards. Perkins said she feels as though the Gussies' game against Washburn was probably one of the best games for the team because the victory started them off to take the District X title. Perkins said that the team had a slow start but that they got a lot better. We knew we had the potential. We knew we could do it, Perkins said. Perkins, majoring in Electronics Technology, said in advice to her underclassman teammates, Stay in there and work as hard as you possibly can. But most of all, play to have pride in yourself. Chaney is a Computer Science major and hopes to find a job in Kansas City after graduation. Noble, a Pyshical Education major intends to stay in the Southeast area to teach and coach senior high school.

Softball Senior Recognition _ -------------------sw 233 Intramurals undergo department changes New sports increase participation I Juring the 1984-85 school year, tne Pittsburg State University in- tramural department made several changes in an effort to please students on campus. We spent a lot of time organizing the program this year, catering to the sports that people really wanted to play, and came out with a good year. I had a lot of fun and I think the students involved did too , said John Stratta, graduate student and director of the intramurals depart- ment for the past year. Changes began at the outset of the year when the intramural con- stitution was changed to allow men and women to play on either men's, women's or co-ed teams. This pleased the participants and in- creased the number of persons involved in co-ed activities, Stratta said. In addition to participating in football, cross country, swimming, tennis and horse shoes, students also competed in a new sport, soccer. The popularity of the game helped to make it a regular sport next year with a league and tournament. The basketball program was initiated late in the fall with the organizing of teams, practices and scrimmages beginning before the Christmas break, with games beginning in mid-January. Stratta's primary goal was to improve the intramural program as a whole. He also wanted to create a better balance of women's sports to increase participation. Women were offered football, ping pong and weight lifting. The numbers of people out was up radically from the previous year. People got involved and this made it fun for everyone, Stratta said. An example of the kind of im- provement was evident in the number of basketball and volleyball teams that participated. Last year there were 41 basketball teams, while 52 competed this year. Volleyball saw an increase of ten teams from a year ago, from 46 to 56. Stratta gives credit for the large participation to the diverse number of activities in the spring session. Raquetball, arm wrestling, free throws, volleyball, weight lifting, softball, badmitton, archery and track and field were offered. Stratta tried to encourage the faculty to get involved with the program and got good results. Dr. Donald Wilson, University president, was one member who participated, along with Steve Henderson, director of enrollment management. The two competed in basketball and softball. Having the faculty play along with the students creates a different kind of atmosphere on the field. The students learn the faculty is not as stuffy as they (students) thought, and break down the barrier that can exist between the two, Stratta said. Some of the students got involved with teams in the Pittsburg com- munity. A team of women from the program organized a series of competitions between themselves and the team from KOAM Channel 7 television. Another area of improvement in the program came in the form of officiating. With funds from the program and money allocated from the PSU Student Senate, Stratta was able to put two referees on the football and basketball games in- stead of only one like last year. Softball had just one umpire during the regular season and two during the playoffs. The addition of the the second official made a big difference in the quality of competition. Games were called closer and did not get out of hand. This also cut down the number of injuries, limiting them to normal sprains and jammed fingers, Stratta said.

The money will go towards creating new sports such as floor hockey and frisbee golf. Money wil also be used to purchase T-shirts for the winners of each sport, in ad- dition to the trophies that are awarded now. Coverage of the department's activities was also much better during the school year, Stratta said. ''The Collegio helped our program a lot and kept the students informed of what was going on throughout the year. They really gave the program justice, Stratta said. The end of this school year also marks the end of Stratta's tenure as director of the intramural depart- ment. He came to PSU two years ago from Eastern Washington University with a bachelor's degree in recreation and parks ad- ministration. He got his masters in physical education while at PSU. I had a lot of fun and met a lot of people at this job. I just tried to change the program to meet the students' needs in a way that made it enjoyable for everyone, Stratta said. As a graduate assistant, Stratta was required to spend at least 10 hours a week with the program. However, he soon found that in order to run a well-organized and quality program he would have to spend 45-50 hours a week at the job. Much of this time was spent on the playing fields making sure everything was running smoothly. I tried to make it to most of the games to get suggestions or com- plaints from those participating. It kept me in touch with those in- volved, Stratta said. Being a director of intramurals takes a different type of person, he said. You have to be an enthusiastic person who is willing to spend a lot of your spare time working on the program. You must also take pride in the job and care about the well being of the students. I hope whoever takes over this position next year will have a lot of enthusiasm and follow through with the things we started this year and plans we have for next year, Stratta said. Mid-way through the 1984-85 school year Stratta attended a meeting of intramural directors from the Big Eight schools. According to Stratta, PSU offers the same diversity of programs to its students as do the University of Kansas, Kansas State University or the University of Oklahoma. PSU, with only two departmental staff members, does the same things that the larger schools are doing with 15 or more. PSU should be proud of its program for a school of its size. This year we had the participation of over 25 percent of the student population which is comparable to the big schools, Stratta said. Stratta added that at one Big Eight school there were over 600 basketball teams involved in the program with a comparable amount of softball teams. Although PSU will never achieve those types of numbers of par- ticipation, Stratta said that it has a program that is on the same level of quality as any program in the nation and a large amount of credit must go to the students that make up the program. Without them, the department would cease to exist, Stratta said.—by J. P. Milbum David Barton ONE OF THE 56 intramural volleyball teams was made up of PSU student senators.

Sororities and fraternities give these students a sense of family, even to the point of having little brothers and little sisters. These greek organizations can be supportive and offer a sense of unity while one is struggling with fitting into the University's en- vironment. The sororities and fraternities at PSU assist students in finding others with similar likes and in- terests. Whether competing against other University organizations or hosting benefit dances to raise money for charity, students belonging to greek organizations make lasting friendships with fellow members. The KANZA staff retrospectively presents the greek organizations of PSU. PART OF THE fun and excitement in attending a greek-sponsored function is the chance that the fraternities and sororities have to win a free keg for their organization. The keg is a reward for the group with the greatest overall attendance.

By working on the two student publications, the Collegio and the Kanza, they are finding out that honesty, integrity and dedication are only a few requirements a journalist must meet. Collegio editor CeCe Todd, Leavenworth senior, leads her staff through a change in advisers and works with daily pressures, Vanessa Prather, Kansas City junior and Kanza editor, finds out that trial and error sometimes is the only way to get the job done. Student publications present a closer look at the staffs behind the Collegio and the Kanza. The Kanza staff retrospectively presents Student Publications.

SKILLS LEARNED WHILE working on the Collegio often lead reporters and editors to jobs with the local paper. The paper's copy editor, Carrie Phelps, Crestline senior, also worked at the Pittsburg Morning Sun proofing pages. 340 Collegio Student Publications RESPONSIBIUTES OF THE editor sometimes don't end when the week is over. CeCe Todd, Leaven- worth senior,, spends another Saturday at the office in preparation for another issues of the Collegio. Oavid Barton Collegio experiences year of change Editor credits paper's quality to staff | he Collegio under went several changes during the 1984-85 school year in the structure of the staff with the resignation of adviser Dr. John Knowles, associate professor English. Through all the changes though, said editor CeCe Todd, Leavenworth senior, We still managed to put a paper out ' This is a credit to the entire staff — they were all dedicated to doing the best job they could and it showed in the consistent quality of each issue ' Todd said. Todd said that the responsibilities of being Collegio editor was often nerve- wracking, but that her staff, especially the other editors, were there to back her up and get the job done. Many of my staff members have grown a great deal this year and their journalism skills have greatly im- proved. Two of my staff members, my Most Valuable Staffers, Eddie McKechnie and Steve Hausler, played a big role in improving the quality of the Collegio this year in design and photography, Todd said. McKechnie, Pittsburg junior, and Hausler, Wellsville senior, were awarded for their service to the student newspaper by being awarded as Most Valuable Staffers at the annual Communications Awards Banquet, May 2, sponsored by the Society of Collegiate Journalists and the Public Relations Student Society. Other staff members were also awarded for their achievements and contributions to the Collegio at the annual Communications Awards Banquet with certificates, ac- companied with a $50 stipend. Honors were awarded to Carrie Phelps, Crestline senior, copy editing; Michael McCormick, Overland Park graduate, and Kim Lawson, Fort Scott senior, advertising; Walter Grimsley, Independence, Mo., graduate, compositing. Hausler, photojournalism; Traci Mayberry, Basehor senior, sports writing; Lorita Rea, Pittsburg senior, feature writing; Allen Edmonds, Cherokee senior, editorial writing and news writing. Other members to receive jour- nalism and communications awards were Todd, Bennet Journalism Trophy and SCJ Certificate of Merit; Edmonds, SCJ Medal of Merit; Hausler, Shirley Christian Award; and Ramona Vassar, Easton junior, Scott Scholarship. The Collegio staff also presented Dr. Knowles with a plaque for his 16 and a half years as adviser to the publication. Staff writer Rea also brought recognition to the staff as she was selected as one of two students in the state to receive a $700 scholarships offered by the Wichita chapter of Sigma Delta Chi, the national society of professional journalism. Todd said that looking to the future, with the leadership of McKechnie as editor and Greg Nucifora as adviser, the Collegio will not only maintain its quality, but improve as well. The fact that the staff wants to to put out two papers a week beginning in the fall of 1985, shows their initiative, enthusiasm and eagerness to learn. Under Eddie's leadership and Greg's guidance, I am confident the Collegio will be successful in coming out twice a week and will continue to be a high- quality publication, Todd said.—by Ramona Vassar Collegio Student Publications 341 Trial and error: the name of the game Staff strives for goal of excellence Jhe 1984-85 KANZA staff had a year of trial and error experience, according to Vanessa Prather, Kansas City junior and editor. Glenn Robinson, our adviser for the past seven years, went on sabbatical and Rebecca White was our temporary adviser, Prather said. We also had a new staff. Everyone had different majors, from biology to marketing to com- munications. They all had different goals, but they had a common goal too — to make this the best year- book ever, she said. Prather said she wasn't sure how the year would go in the beginning, but she was pleased with the way things turned out. We had an excellent staff. Most of them had never worked on a publication before and didn't know what to do. But they found what needed to be done and they did it. It was very important to me that this year turn out good. I wanted to prove to myself that I could handle the position of editor. One of Prather's biggest worries was the amount of work placed on David Barton, Oxford senior and photo editor. During the spring semester one of David's chief photographers, Steve Hausler, changed from the position of graphics coordinator to photo editor for the Collegio and design editor for the Kama. This meant he didn't have as much time to take pictures, and David was left with a heavy load. However, he did an outstanding job and was always there when I needed him, Prather said. Barton was rewarded for his work by receiving, along with Millie Myers, Fort Scott junior and managing editor, the Kanza distinguished service award at the annual Communications Banquet held May 3. Laura Todd, Leavenworth sophomore, received the award for outstanding designer, Stacey Sanderlin, Fort Scott junior for outstanding copywriter, Rick Van Zon, Overland Park senior for business, and Barton for outstanding photographer. These staff awards were each accompanied by a $50 stipend. Other members of the staff to receive awards were Steve Hausler, Wellsville senior, who won the Shirley Christian Award and $500. Ramona Vassar, Easton junior and assistant copy editor, received the $1,000 William A. Scott Scholarship. Prather was presented a Society of Collegiate Journalists Certiicate of Merit and $100. Janet Stites, Pitt- sburg graduate student and copy editor, received the $200 D.D. Moore Scholarship for her work as a graduate student.—by Stacey Sanderlin THE KANZA iS in its seventh year of being student- produced using in-house video display terminals.

Underclassmen have advanced a year, seniors have graduated and entered the job market. Changes have been made, ideas have been implemented. Dr. Donald Wilson's first year as University president brought many changes to campus. Under the direction of Dr. James Gilbert, vice president for academic affairs, the University implemented several new academic goals, including the accreditation of various departments, the establishing of academic service centers in the northern and 354 Closing Kanza85 southern tiers of community college and internationalizing the curriculum. When Dr. Wilson first outlined his goals and objectives for PSU, he emphasized learning and planning. But, later as he had a chance to observed the University, his focus shifted from an emphasis in learning and planning to action and implementation. One of the University's goals for academics, was to explore the possibility of introducing a value-added emphasis to the curriculum. Dr. Wilson also expressed a concern with seeing more of a positive blend In Retrospect David Barton 356 Closing Kanza 85 continued from page 355 of career vocational and career liberal arts.
